The Xianbei people who came from the vast grassland, along the road that once went west, walked through the towering green and continuous mountains, and re-set foot on the vast plains of eastern Liaodong.

The first hundreds of Xianbei people were wearing half-body iron armor, some of them were mottled with rust, wearing a bright scimitar around their waists, carrying bows and arrows, and the leaders were the nobles of the Murong Tribe, looking at the tribal leaders in front of them, and striding over to give a big hug, "Honorable Dugu Chief, Da Shan Yu wishes you, may the gods of Changbai Mountain always protect you." ”

Murong Shen sat in the felt tent with a golden sword, drank a cup of tea and wine, and said directly: "Honorable Dugu Chief, Shan Yu made me come to speak to you, blessed by the heavens, all Xianbei people, Shan Yu, solemnly and respectfully ask you to lead all your people, follow the banner of Xianbei, and return to the rule of Great Xia, Shan Yu will follow the will of the heavens to give you a more and more noble status, better than the bitter cold and hardship in Liaodong, the rich pastures, herds of cattle and sheep, and countless slaves will be given to you by Shan Yu, This is a gift that I asked me to bring to you when I came. ”

As he spoke, he let his subordinates hold the bright gold, and inadvertently rubbed his precious gold and jade ornaments and utensils, lonely and looked at the heat in his eyes, the group of people in the Murong Department was really developed after going west, but the lonely department was still living in Liaodong in the winter to resist the severe cold, in order to survive the hard days of fishing in the river and hunting in the mountains, the two were contrasted, lonely and suddenly full of imbalance, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it true that Shan Yu promised me what he promised me?" My lonely department is huge, and there are more than 10,000 men alone, which is not a small number. ”

Murong Shen hissed secretly, there were so many people, and it was a big surprise, sure enough, it was right to come here, these people are top-level soldiers with a little training in armor, if all the tribes of Xianbei are completely unified, who else is my opponent in Daxia, Murong Shen was about to answer when he heard a noise from outside, and his son, who was a little leaning Dugu, walked in with a strange face and whispered: "Father, there is an envoy from the Yan Kingdom outside asking to see." ”

Hiss~

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom actually appeared at this time, and before Dugu Ji could react, he saw a person walk in, clasped his fists and said: "Honorable Dugu Chief, on the orders of the general and the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom, I appear here, you can call me Murong Cheng." ”

Hearing this self-report, Murong Shen immediately put his hand on the scimitar on his waist, stared at Murong Cheng with murderous intent, Dugu and asked Murong Cheng to sit down, Murong Cheng turned his head and asked, "You are the clansman of the Xianbei Murong clan?" This time I came to Liaodong, but if I want to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, I will return to Yan with me, and the general will be happy. ”

"Speak out of your mouth, dare!"

When Murong Shen heard this, he immediately drew his knife angrily and was about to splash blood on the felt tent, the Dugu clan hurriedly stopped him, Murong Cheng smiled at Murong Shen with a slight mockery, and then said to Dugu and Shi Shiran: "Touren, in the land of thousands of miles in Liaodong, your prestige can be said to be known to everyone, no one knows, the general admires you deeply, I am all from the same Xianbei Mountain, it is the same origin, now our clan takes Yan as the number, Yan's family, Murong family, Helan clan are all called Yan people, Dugu clan, Daxianbei Mountain source old people also, should also take Yan as the number, return to Zhuxia, Don't learn from Murong of the grassland, Yan and Tuoba, the name Xia Shiyi, the noble do not realize it, and fall into the lowly, isn't it ridiculous. ”

The current scene was unexpected, but as Murong Cheng said, he had been crisscrossing Liaodong for so many years, relying on the fierceness of a tiger and the cunning of a fox as sharp as a fox, Murong Cheng and Murong Detail's words, after thinking slightly, he had already made a decision, refusing Yan Guo's solicitation, Murong Cheng walked away, Murong Shen was overjoyed, and the two exchanged tokens and agreed on this matter.

After the two of them left, Dugu Ji's son asked curiously: "Father, don't you often say that only by going to the southern country can you make the tribe grow strong and have a good life?" Now that the Yan Kingdom has come to solicit, why don't you want to join the Yan Kingdom, but choose the Xia Kingdom on the grassland, it is said that the grassland is also cold to the bone, which is not suitable for human survival. ”

Dugu and grinned silently, and then said slowly: "Yan Guoli is small but arrogant, on the surface treat us closely, but in fact there is contempt for me in my heart, if it is like this, the outcome is not yet known, Xia Guo has thousands of miles of land, control hundreds of thousands, to be collected Xianbei departments, its strength is strong, enough to be called the first in the world, I Dugu Department, is one of the five major departments of Xianbei, naturally has a respectable position, the so-called difficult, when is it related to the honorable?"

However, Murong Chengguang of Yan Kingdom, extremely brave, even if I am deeply in awe, he is not a mortal, I think he is about to kill that Yan Guo Shan Yu, he called himself Da Shan Yu, since he came to recruit my lonely department, then the rest of the tribe will naturally not let go, now Yan Guo is weak, but the eagles soaring in the sky all start from the nestling, can not have a bad relationship with Yan Guo, and may have a day of refuge in the future. ”

At the beginning of the morning sunrise, the light of the dawn is sprinkled, the gates of Jicheng are opened, there are more than a dozen knights galloping over, all wearing embroidered birds in Xuanyi, and the golden flag is inserted behind them, in the Yan Kingdom, these people are called "Golden Banner Embroidered Messengers", only obeying Murong Chengguang's orders The guards guarding the city did not dare to stop them at all, and immediately let these people into the city, the sound of heavy horses' hooves broke the silence in the city, and the people in the city who got up early to travel hurriedly avoided these rampaging knights.

After the governance of the Yan State, Youzhou Jicheng is a well-deserved first city in the north, the city is tall and thick, the royal guard is tight, the owner of this city ostensibly belongs to the Yan family, but several times the people of the Yan Kingdom, only know the name of the prime minister, the general Murong Chengguang, Murong Chengguang has come to the point of adding nine tin, entering and exiting the police, entering the palace without trending, praising and worshipping the name, and going to the palace with a sword, only two steps away from Cao Cao seizing the throne of the Han Dynasty.

These knights quickly entered the General's Mansion from the side door, and the magnates in Jicheng all got the news, guessing what was going on, and when the palace was opened, the ministers went to the palace, and Murong Chengguang took the little emperor to sit on the throne, and then cleared his throat and said loudly: "My Dayan has risen from Liaodong, and today, two hundred years, now it has Youzhou and Liaoxi, and has defeated the southern country several times, and the iron horse has gone south, as if entering a no-man's land." For decades, plundering its people hundreds of thousands, in the world can be called the strongest, but the southern soldiers are many generals, the defense is quite strict, plundering its people's food, it is difficult to seize the city, if you do not seize the city, the southern country can not be broken, it is because of my big Yan although the strong number is small.

This duke has a major event to announce, all the secretaries are listening, a few days ago this duke sent a messenger to Liaodong, to collect its brave people, thinking that I use, Xianbei Yuwen Department, with the source of the Great Xianbei Mountain, willing to return to my Dayan, and there are 33 departments of Liaodong, all willing to be used by my Dayan, this time my Dayan will hold tens of thousands of iron cavalry soldiers, Dayan is strong! ”

Hiss~

Murong Chengguang's words suddenly made the ministers in the palace untenable, no one thought that Murong Chengguang would do such a big thing silently, the strength of the Yan Kingdom will be greatly enhanced, and just as someone was about to ask if it was true, he saw someone rush out quickly and then prostrate on the ground, greatly spreading his arms and shouting: "Your Majesty Wan'an, the minister has a word to play, the prime minister has done his best for my Great Yan, and has made great contributions, and has raised tens of thousands of Liaodong Jianyong, who is not stingy in rebuilding, such a great achievement, not rewarding is not enough to set people's hearts, and the title of the Grand Duke should be rewarded, and the minister will die." ”

As soon as this person's words came out, a large number of people knelt down in an uproar, all shouting that Murong Chengguang's merits were great, and then everyone reacted, the politics of Yan State are different from those of the Central Plains, most people take it for granted, only the Yan royal family wants to say something, but in the face of the fierce Murong Chengguang, he didn't dare to speak, just in this hall, Murong Chengguang was canonized by the emperor as the prince of Liaoxi County, and the courtiers of Yan State were all in a trance, Murong Chengguang's seizure of the throne seemed to be irreversible, and many royal families looked at the little emperor, has begun to prepare to take refuge in Murong Chengguang.

Murong Chengguang unceremoniously accepted the position of the prince of Liaoxi County, and said angrily: "Your Majesty's letter is respectful, and the princes are in service, so that this prince has today, and this prince will live up to the Great Yan, and the new service of the Liaodong Zhubu, the prince will go to the review in person, and then do the best of my Yan army, the army is in the state and the state, and the land is unified from generation to generation. ”

Murong Chengguang pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, and was full of spirit, and issued his own political declaration to the entire Yan Kingdom, the sunlight shining in from outside the hall, passing through the ministers, countless intertwined shadows fell at his feet, his body was so tall, as if the entire Yan Kingdom was trampled under his feet.

The people in the winter city are still strengthening and raising the city wall every day, the winter is not a day to build, farming, building the city, fishing and hunting, every day is very busy, now the winter city has been quite large-scale, the city houses are no longer thatched houses, but can keep out the cold heavy houses, in the stone paste a characteristic gelatinous substance, can enhance the ability to withstand the cold on a large scale.

A group of daring warriors rushed in from outside, as agile as a tiger and leopard, after Luo Xiang rushed into the Luo Palace, he said with surprise on his face: "Brother, as you expected, the Yan Kingdom has taken over the Hu Tribe, and the road to the south of my Luo Clan has been opened up a bit, and there are many fewer tribes trying to gather to besiege Winterfell, but according to the news sent back by the Yan Kingdom and what our clan found out from the Hu mouth, the Xianbei Xia Kingdom also sent people to Liaodong to collect the Xianbei Hu Division, and most of them are subordinated to the Xianbei Xia Kingdom, which is a big hidden danger." ”

Murong Chengguang's trip, Luo You made people talk to him, the purpose is to make the Hu people in Liaodong for their use, so as not to make these Hu people in Liaodong trouble, Luo's is not good because the Luo clan has too few people, and it is too difficult to assimilate, and Yan Guo is very tolerant, and it is most suitable for the initial sinicization of the Hu people, and now it seems to be effective, Luo You muttered: "Yan and Xianbei can temporarily solve the threat of our clan by recruiting Hu people, Xianbei Xia Kingdom is almost invincible in the grassland, and has not been unified so far, but it is unwilling to cause damage, and tirelessly recruits Liaodong Hu people, the plan is not small, Bingzhou, Wei State, who is the target of Xianbei Xia State, or the Western Regions? ”

Luo Xiang couldn't help but worry when he heard this: "Brother, the grassland Xianbei temperament is unruly, has not been sinicized, does not understand etiquette, is strong and powerful, and Zhuxia is in danger, our clan can inform the countries to attack it, if you wait for the Hu people to prosper, even if the Mandate of Heaven is broken, but its momentum has been achieved, and it cannot be defeated in battle, it is too ridiculous." ”

Luo Xiang's words, is the essence of Luo's Tao to break the mandate of heaven, just like Qin Xing Zhou's death, is a fixed number, Luo's disobedience, then by God's punishment, Qin Mingjun flourished, unique, and to the end of the Han Dynasty, although the world was defeated, the Han did not die, there is the sky for the bottom, there must be Liu to prosper the Han Dynasty, Luo Xiao broken, the Han Dynasty did not die immediately, a full decades later, Cao Cao seized the throne and founded the country. Luo Xiao's actions, so that the decline of the Han Dynasty rose and fell, not by the heavens, but by the people, if Liu Bei has the ability to prosper the Han Dynasty, then the world is in chaos, and finally the Han Dynasty falls, only a secession regime.

The affairs of the world care about the mandate of heaven and personnel, and this is the case, the mandate of heaven is not lost, and personnel are difficult to do, and this so-called situation creates heroes. The mandate of heaven has been lost, it is all man-made, people can do it, the mandate of heaven is new, people can't do it, and the mandate of heaven does not appear. The Hu people's destiny is the same, Luo's life is broken, the sky will not help the Hu people, and there will be no more Tianjiao to the ground, but if the Hu people's Tianjiao is too prosperous, stirring the general trend has been achieved, even if it does not rely on the mandate of heaven, it can also win against the Zhuxia War, then everything will be over, and Luo's will have no way.

This is exactly what Ji Zhao heard when he saw and heard in the land of the Tao, the Hu people have the mandate of heaven, and the heavens help them, but Zhuxia has Luo's that is his heaven, the destiny of the heavens is the mandate of heaven, and the life of King Su is also the mandate of heaven, and the responsibility on Luo's body is extremely heavy, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a leader.

Luo You shook his head and said: "All the Xia countries have never put the Hu people in their eyes, just as no one believes in the prophecy of Hu Ming's prosperity, the sword has not been added, so it is useless to know the pain, no matter how much empty talk is useless, the high priest has stated the law of breaking the Hu people's destiny, our clan can wait, wait for the Xianbei to invade more urgently, so that the countries are painful, and the world is vigilant. ”

Luo Xiang sighed slightly when he heard this, if he could shed less blood, he would naturally have less bloodshed, but many things are not so simple, now the monarchs of all countries are mediocre people, and there is no one who is angry in the world, if Emperor Wei Wu, Emperor Xuanlie of Han and others are alive, they will never be so difficult. Moreover, now that the countries are unstable, or there are internal worries, or external troubles, there is no time to take care of anything else, and there is nothing to do, it can only be said that the general trend of the world is constantly moving in the direction of the Hu people's favor, during which the mandate of heaven and personnel are intertwined, and even Luo's can't figure out the variables.
