The first year of Yan Guozhengda.

The first year of Liang Guoming.

The two countries announced the change of the yuan at the same time, but for different reasons.

Yan is because since the establishment of the country in Liaodong, more than two hundred years, the Yan State finally stepped on the Yellow River for the first time, and owned the land belonging to the Yan people south of the Yellow River.

This group of people who have been exiled and experienced countless hardships and dangers can return to their temples to pay homage to their ancestors and proudly tell the glory of the current Yan Kingdom.

This is the historical burden on Yan Guo, the exile was a painful thing for the entire ethnic group, if you can't make up for the regret of this matter, then Yan people will always lack a piece in their hearts.

This was the case when he returned to the Central Plains, which was a climax of the mood in the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan people at that time were united to an unimaginable point.

After returning to the Central Plains, the Yan Kingdom wanted more, Murong Chui took Chang'an, which was very unfortunate for the Queen Mother, but for most Yan people, this was an exciting event, you must know that when he was exiled, the emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered in Chang'an City, and now?

The emperor of the Han Dynasty has turned to dust!

However, the children and grandchildren who were exiled returned to Chang'an from that distant barren land, that barren and almost uninhabited and almost difficult to survive, and sat in the emperor's Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.

Isn't that the most painful thing in the world?

Now that Yan Guo has rushed across the Yellow River again, the sharp military power has almost swept the world, and when Yan Guo also pockets Luoyang, no one can imagine how proud Yan Guo will be.

But with the two Kyotos that the dynasties since the Bang Zhou have attached importance to, who is the orthodox?

Go without saying.

……

The direct reason for the change of the Yuan of the Liang State is the change of the Yuan of the Yan State, the unification of the Yan State in the north, and the competition with the Liang State in Qingzhou, which is indispensable, the Yan State changes the Yuan, there is a new breath of vigor, and the Liang State naturally has to follow the change of the Yuan, but the change of the Yuan cannot be changed casually, there must always be a happy head, just at this time, good news came from Shuzhong.

The main force of the Yan court won a complete victory in the Kwantung region, united with the Liang State to destroy the Han State, and in the vast Central Plains, only the two emperors of Yan and Liang remained.

Murong Trai beat the Hexi rebels in Hexi, in terms of field warfare, compared to Murong Trai, an unborn god of war, those rebels were too bad, in just a few months, Murong Trai once again completely incorporated Liangzhou into the Guanzhong system, and Yang Cheng went with the army to help Murong Trai pacify the situation in Hexi.

The speed at which Murong Chui attacked Liangzhou was too fast, which was beyond the expectations of almost everyone, you must know that the Wei State had fought so many times before and after and failed to calm down.

The reasons for this are very complicated, first of all, Murong Chui's ability is not comparable to those generals of the Wei State.

Secondly, the bureaucratic system under Murong Trai is not as corrupt as the Wei State, which is a regime that has been established for a hundred years, and the internal corruption has long been rampant, and Murong Trai replaced that group of people, these new scholars are still in the nascent period.

These two reasons alone are enough to distinguish the world's difference.

He didn't have much strength to fight Hexi, of course he set his sights on Shuzhong, and since the Qin Dynasty and Shuzhong had enough strength to fight for the world, Shuzhong has been well known.

In order to annex Shuzhong, the Qin State built a Shu road to Shuzhong, and it was still difficult to attack Shuzhong at that time, but now there are many Shu roads that can lead to Shuzhong, and Murong Chui will certainly not be wrong.

But Murong Chui wanted to attack Shuzhong, not only did he know, but Cao Lu, who was in Shuzhong, also knew that Guanzhong and Shuzhong were already one in the eyes of many people, and there was no force with Guanzhong that would not seize Shuzhong.

Even if Murong swore not to attack Shuzhong, Cao Lu would not believe it.

When Murong Trai had just captured Chang'an, Cao Lu was not worried, because in his opinion, it would take a long time for Murong Trai to completely bring Guanzhong into his rule, and it was still relatively chaotic in Guandong, and there were also people in Liangzhou who were in turmoil.

But the situation in the world is changing too fast, and everyone didn't expect that Liang and Yan would attack Han together, and what is even more outrageous is that the Han State, which looks relatively powerful on the surface, is so vulnerable, and it has a bit of a fat meaning.

Cao Lu knew that Murong Chui was good at fighting, and he had been fighting since he was thirteen years old, and he had not yet lost, but he had cleaned up all the large and small thorns in Guanzhong so quickly, and in just a few months, he had attacked the most distant Dunhuang County, so that the entire Liangzhou had submitted to his military might.

Cao Lu deeply realized the gap between himself and Murong Chui.

In the face of Murong Chui, Cao Lu did not have any intention of daring to fight at all, and in the face of the Yan Kingdom, which almost unified the north, he did not have the intention of resisting.

But surrendering Murong Trai, it is absolutely impossible, he not only wants to save his life, he also wants to be glorious and rich.

He is the clan relative of the Cao family, if he really surrenders to Murong Trai, even if Murong Trai does not kill him, but then he will definitely be imprisoned, then he might as well enjoy it in Shu for a few years.

After thinking about it, I still have to contact Liang Guo, Liang Guo has been talking to him all along, but the situation in the world changes three times a day, which makes it difficult to reach the conditions every time it is critical.

And now is undoubtedly the best time, Liang Guo is worried that Shuzhong will be captured by Murong Chui, then for Liang Guo, it is undoubtedly a great geographical disaster, and there will always be a knife hanging over Liang Guo's head.

Therefore, even if the Liang State spends a lot of money, it must ensure the safety of Shuzhong.

As for Cao Lu, he originally thought that even if he did not surrender to the Liang State, the Liang State would help him resist Murong Chui's attack in order to ensure his safety, but the Han State perished so quickly, and then thought of the sudden demise of the Wei State.

He suddenly understood the truth that this world is a grass platform team.

Those big people in high positions are so wasteful and incompetent that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

In a word, meat eaters despise!

Most of the reason why they are so-called powerful is that they have a lot of resources and information at their disposal, and they can understand more than ordinary people, but because they are too incompetent, even if they understand so many things that ordinary people don't know, they still can't solve most of the problems.

Even in many ways it is inferior to ordinary people.

Among the tens of millions of people in the Han Kingdom, there are not 100,000 but 80,000 people who dare to die, but it is not these 180,000 people who sit on the throne, but a waste who only knows pleasure on weekdays and does not even have the courage to die when he arrives.

In the Han Kingdom, there were thousands of people who were more suitable to be emperors than emperors, but in the end it was he who became emperors, and the common people thought how great the emperor was, which was too ridiculous.

Only those who have read books can understand how incompetent the emperor was, so most scholars did not look down on the emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

In case, the ruler of the Liang State suddenly had a convulsion, or there were some internal disagreements and were unwilling to support Shuzhong, then wouldn't he have to wait here for death?

After thinking about it, Cao Lu felt that he couldn't stay in Shuzhong, this front line facing Murong Chui was too dangerous, and when the rebellion arrived in Chengdu, his family didn't know how they would die.

Since ancient times, to avoid chaos is to avoid chaos in the south, especially in Guyuedi, now Huiji County, where there are many mountains and rivers, the scenery is good, and the military rebellion basically cannot reach there.

Even if the Southern Dynasty Liang State or I don't know which country will perish in the future, basically Jianye and Gusu will be stopped, and the rest of the places will be spread depending on the situation, and it is very safe for the Cao family to hide in Huiji.

Thinking about it like this, Cao Lu felt that it was perfect, so he hurriedly contacted Luo Xianzhi, who was guarding Jianye, and the boat from Chengdu went down the Yangtze River, thousands of miles a day, and the speed was like an arrow from the string, arrived at Jianye, and then sent the news.

Luo Xianzhi is really a person sitting at home, blessing comes from the sky, what he tried his best to do before, but now he sent it directly, this is really a deliberate planting of flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.

Moreover, Cao Lu's attachment is to directly dedicate Shuzhong, and he himself is not in Shuzhong, even Luo Xianzhi can't think of a better result than this.

Xiao Yan made a decision directly, as long as Cao Lu was really willing to give up Shuzhong, then he would make Cao Lu the prince of Huiji, and let him enjoy the joy of mountains and rivers in Huiji, glory and wealth.

Murong Chui never imagined that his military pressure on Shuzhong would make Cao Lu make such a choice.

This major event attached to Shu shocked the entire Liang State and the people of the world, and the Liang State suddenly became prestigious, and Xiao Yan took advantage of this incident to change the yuan.

Basically, people of insight can see that after the Liang State gets Shuzhong, it will be difficult for the forces in the north to attack the south.

It is not because of how strong the strength of the Southern Dynasty is, but that the North cannot find a place to train the naval army at all, and after the entire Yangtze River is captured by the Southern Dynasty, no matter how strong the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty is, it is impossible to do anything in Huaisi, which crisscrosses the waterway.

Even strong armies such as the Dare Warrior and the Temple Army had to disembark when they got to the south.

And if the south is one, it is like a turtle that is difficult to swallow, not to mention how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack in Shu, go all the way to the east and hold Xiangyang, this city can withstand hundreds of thousands of troops.

It can be said that if the political situation of the Southern Dynasty is stable, if the Northern Dynasty wants to break through the Southern Dynasty, it is basically a dream, as long as the Southern Dynasty has 100,000 troops, the Northern Dynasty can only cry out in vain even if it is a million troops.

The attribution of Cao Lu had an almost subversive impact on the situation in the world, directly establishing the power of the two dynasties of the north and the south, that is, it was impossible for the southern dynasty to defeat the northern dynasty, and it was impossible for the northern dynasty to break the southern dynasty, and the north could only wait for the southern dynasty to make a mistake.

As everyone knows, Liang Guo also thinks so.

……

Murong Ke had not returned to Jicheng for a long time, after the army rushed across the Yellow River, his line also reached the south of the Yellow River, where he commanded the collision of Yan and Liang, and the vacillating policy of the Han Emperor made everyone see the weakness and hesitation of the emperor, in this case some people chose to surrender, and some people went to die.

Those who were willing to die gradually died, those who chose to surrender scrambled to be the first, and the Yan and Liang states continued to annex the lands of the Han state, and even felt that this was not a war, but the collapse of a country.

Since the fall of the Han Dynasty, the number of times this kind of city head changes the banner of the king is too much, the scholars are like obedient creatures, no matter which warlord comes, they can cooperate, after entering the countries and standing side by side, they have changed this kind of rebellion, but I didn't expect to see it again in the current Han Kingdom.

In the past few years of Murong Ke's war, while fighting to pacify the newly acquired cities and arrange for those newly entered the territory of Yan rule, the time he commanded the battle was much shorter, and most of the time was to meet with those local scholars.

Luo Xianzhi is the same, although he is in charge of Jianye, the connection between him and Xiao Yan has not stopped for a moment, the Southern Dynasty has always suppressed the Shi clan, but that is because the Shi clan of the Southern Dynasty is too strong, and it has even affected the country.

The Northern Scholars are not as exaggerated as the Southern Dynasties, after all, the clan chronicles are spread from the Southern Dynasties, and the Northern Dynasties have always had a tradition of military aristocracy since the Yan Kingdom entered the Central Plains, which is completely different from the Southern Dynasties, and the Han Kingdom is actually the same, without the foundation of the gate valve.

The point that is more difficult to accept for the Southern Dynasty scholars is nothing for the Northern Dynasty scholars, and even the Northern Dynasty scholars have in turn learned the "advanced" experience of the Southern Dynasty scholars.

……

"Your Majesty, the spies have come to report that Murong Ke's body is in trouble, and the backlash has appeared, and within a year, he will die, this is our chance."

This is a letter from Luo Xianzhi to Xiao Yan, and no one knows.

……

"Ahem."

The bright red blood stains on the white cloth were so dazzling, Murong Ke covered the white cloth in his hand, he coughed up blood from time to time, and gradually became accustomed to it.

Murong Ke felt that his health was getting worse and worse, and his previous work was nothing, but since Luo Shui's oath, he often felt powerless, and after he coughed up blood for the first time a few months ago, he knew that he might die.

The healer told him that he needed to rest, but the growing tensions between the Yan and Liang states, the final war against the Han state, and the pacification of the newly seized land, made it impossible for him to rest at all.

Besides, Murong Ke knew that this was the backlash of Luoshui's oath, and he didn't think that it could be cured.

He looked at the Yellow River in the north and the Liang Kingdom in the south, and decided to do his last few things.

……

This is the second time Luo Xianzhi and Murong Ke have met.

The reason why Murong Ke did not meet with Xiao Yan was naturally because of the principle of diplomacy, the two dynasties of the north and the south stood side by side, although Murong Ke had a high status, he was not as good as Xiao Yan, if he saw Xiao Yan, he would have to salute, for negotiation, this is naturally not good.

Luo Xianzhi's current identity is the third duke, and his identity matches Murong Ke, and the most important thing is that both of them can represent the meaning of the two countries.

This time it is no longer on the Yellow River, but between the Qing Yan.

Luo Xianzhi said with a smile: "King, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your demeanor is still the same." ”

Murong Ke pinched his palms fiercely, restrained the torturous itch of coughing, he had some rouge on his face, making his face look ruddy and normal, today he was completely like a normal person, he said softly: "The county prince is still the demeanor, and time has not left any traces on your body." ”

After some greetings, Luo Xianzhi asked: "I don't know what the king means by inviting my father here to discuss a truce?" ”

Murong Ke said with a straight face: "The Han Kingdom has fallen, and now our two countries are fighting in Qingyan, your country is not my opponent of Dayan, if it goes on like this, your country will lose Yanzhou, instead of this, it is better for you and me to directly truce, demarcate the border according to Qingyan, and then settle down, isn't this a good thing?" ”

In the large plains of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Liang was of course not the opponent of Yan, Xiao Yan and Murong Chui fought twice, both of which ended in Xiao Yan's defeat, but the loss was not too big.

The reason why Murong Ke made this suggestion was very simple, he was worried that his body would not be able to support it, and if the others were not Xiao Yan's opponents, once Qingzhou was lost, it would not be good.

And he still wants to go back to Jicheng, he doesn't want to die here directly, he still has a lot to say to the emperor, to explain to the emperor, although the horse leather shroud is the most heroic, but he can't, he still has a very heavy responsibility.

The reason why Luo Xianzhi appeared here was because he also wanted a truce, and now it seemed that he could drag Murong Ke to death here, but when Murong Ke died, it was okay to attack again, there was no need to fight with Murong Ke here now.

Xiao Yan was a little dissatisfied with the defeat of the first time, but he was defeated again for the second time, so he didn't say anything more, and agreed with what Luo Xianzhi said, if he couldn't beat Murong Ke, he would die to death.

But of course, you can't agree directly, although Xiao Yan lost twice in the field, but the battle line is still dominated by Liang State, if you demarcate according to Qingyan, the most critical thing is who Mount Tai is to be divided into, and now most of Mount Tai is in the hands of Liang State.

Now Murong Ke wants Mount Tai, and he wants Liang Guo to cede land to him.

Luo Xianzhi didn't care, anyway, when Murong Ke died, the Liang State would immediately start a war, he groaned for a while and said: "Most of Mount Tai is in the hands of my Liang State, and it is the result of the bloody struggle of the Great Liang Erlang, so it is naturally not possible to distribute it to your country."

If your country is willing to exchange the pass north of Luoyang, my Liang is willing to hand over Mount Tai in his hand to your country. ”

Luoyang has eight passes, guarding the safety of Luoyang, but now some passes are in the hands of Yan Guo, which makes Liang Guo very uncomfortable, and now Luoyang is a leak, leaking everywhere.

It would be great if we could take this opportunity to get Luoyang Pass back.

Murong Ke thought about it for a while, taking Mount Tai, Qingzhou would be much safer, and although Heluo was important, it was actually not so stable, with Hedong in hand, the threat to Heluo would not change because of a few passes.

In other words, those Yellow River crossings were not suitable locations for Yan to cross the river, and it was better to attack directly from the east of the river.

The two hit it off and agreed again.

Murong Ke asked one last time, "Is the county prince really unwilling to go to my Yan Kingdom?" A hero like Ling should gallop on horseback, instead of stumbling in the south of the Yangtze River in the southern part of the country.

Liang wants to attack the north from the south, unless the entire north is split into pieces, as long as there are no more than two countries in the north, it is impossible for Liang to succeed in the northern expedition, and it is doomed to failure, why do you want to do it? ”

Murong Ke's sincerity is very strong, and what he said is also very right, as long as the Northern Dynasty is not chaotic, even if it is only with the power of Shandong, the Southern Dynasty will not succeed in the Northern Expedition, but Luo Xianzhi asked rhetorically: "This question should be asked to the king himself, why do you still want to do it even though you know that it will fail?" ”

After that, Luo Xianzhi didn't wait for Murong Ke to react, so he left with a smile, although he was an enemy, he still had a good impression of Murong Ke, but unfortunately he couldn't work together.

Murong Ke was a little stunned and didn't understand what Luo Xianzhi was talking about.

The armies of Yan and Liang were far apart and withdrawn, Murong Ke first left the guards in Qingzhou, and then led the army back to the north of the Yellow River, and settled the army in Yecheng, he took his own soldiers first, and then the army was full of march, and he hurried to Jicheng first.

Thinking about the last time he left the army and entered Jicheng alone, or returned from Hedong, he wore the two most important battles, and in the end they were the same results, which made Murong Ke feel a little emotional.

……

The palace of Yan has been repaired by so many generations of emperors, and it has gradually taken on the appearance of a palace, although it is far inferior to Luoyang and Chang'an, but it is not bad at all compared to Fenggao.

And the palace of Yan Country carries the kind of roughness unique to Yan Kingdom, which is something brought back from Liaodong, so many years, although most people have forgotten the suffering of Liaodong, but those Liaodong Hu people who continue to pour into Yan Country can still make Yan people until, what kind of life did the ancestors live at the beginning.

Murong Ke had a special courtesy in the Yan Kingdom, and the emperor once gave him the treatment of being able to ride in the chariot in the palace, but Murong Ke never used it, but this time he rode into the palace in the chariot.

Because he felt more and more powerless, the palace was very large, and there were many steps, and he didn't want to fall on the road.

In front of him, on the left and right were the Praetorian Guards who carried him, these people who belonged to the noble level in the eyes of outsiders, but they carried him like cattle and horses, and they were willing.

Murong Ke felt that he hadn't seen the emperor for a long time.

The emperor is at the age of growing up, which is already very different from previous years.

His appearance is very delicate, and the appearance of the entire Murong clan is a little delicate, almost all of them are beautiful men and beauties, and the emperor is no exception.

His feelings and attitudes towards Murong Ke changed again and again, and he often thought about how good it would be if Murong Ke was his father, then there would not be so many things now.

The emperor still stepped forward and said with nostalgia: "Uncle Wang, I often miss you, you have worked hard to fight abroad all these years, and now that you are back, I am relieved." ”

The Queen Mother was naturally beside her, she hated Murong Ke, but whenever Murong Ke appeared, she was almost present, and she always loved to compete with Murong Ke, Murong Ke wanted to speak, and then spit out a mouthful of blood.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then trembled and said, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong with you? Hurry up and call the Imperial Doctor! ”

Murong Ke grabbed the emperor's hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need, the minister is not a disease, but a fate, but a lowly person like the minister swore a Luoshui oath, and ended up in this situation, it is really self-inflicted."

The minister rushed back in such a hurry, just because he was worried that one day he would die directly and would not be able to see His Majesty's face again. ”

Luo Shui swears!

No one noticed that the queen mother beside the emperor was also trembling and frightened, she didn't expect that Luo Shui's backlash would be so serious, and she would directly make Murong Ke look like this, and she was in the prime of life and fell to this point.

How could Murong Ke die?

This is the only thought in the queen mother's mind now, Murong Ke is dead, who will fight after that, who will suppress Murong Chui's tiger, she just released Murong Chui back to the deep mountains, and gave him something that can give him wings like a tiger, but Murong Ke, who was able to suppress the tiger, was about to die so soon?

She had thought of countless possibilities, but she never thought that Murong Ke would die, and he would die from the backlash of Luo Shui's oath, which was simply ridiculous.

The Queen Mother can still think so much, the emperor has been struck by lightning, for him, although it is regrettable that Murong Ke cannot assist him wholeheartedly, and part of his heart falls on Murong Chui, but he has stood on the side of the Queen Mother in the previous disputes between the Queen Mother and Murong Ke, and he can already see that he knows the importance of Murong Ke.

But now, his own Wang Zuozhicai, who can assist his important ministers who set the world, is gone, and it is because of Luoshui's oath.

He couldn't help but look at his mother, his eyes were full of disgust and hatred, over the years he felt more and more that his mother was too ignorant, a woman who didn't understand politics at all, and ended up always meddling in these things.

In the end, it became the bitter fruit of today.

Forcibly suppressing this feeling, he looked at Murong Ke and could only comfort uselessly: "Uncle Wang, don't worry so much, you will definitely get better." ”

Murong Ke said directly: "Your Majesty, today is the last time the minister will come to see Your Majesty, and after leaving the palace, the minister will return to the palace and wait for death to come."

The minister had something to say.

After the death of the minister, you should not worry that King Yong will rebel, you must actively contact Guanzhong, and you must not waste your limited strength on confronting your relatives of the same clan.

Otherwise, it will only hurt the relatives and the enemies will be happy.

Liang Guo is my great rival of Dayan, but Xiao Yan, don't worry too much, he has obvious shortcomings, and he will definitely have a conflict with Luo Xianzhi in the end.

Moreover, the land of the Liang State is scattered, there is no absolute center, and it will definitely be divided, as long as the current territory is safely maintained and the population is prosperous, with these fertile lands, the Liang State will naturally be defeated. ”

Murong Ke told the emperor word by word, and from time to time there were bloodshot vomits, which made the emperor want to interrupt him several times, but looking at Murong Ke's expression, he still continued to listen.

————

Since the establishment of the countries, Yan so can be the young lord in power, and the Han Dynasty died Wei, cover Murong Ke's merit also, its merit is not in the great text, not in the high of the martial arts, but in its loyalty, loyalty is the stability of the country, the stability of the country is strong, the strong is prosperous, Ke Zhuoran in the world, so Yan is outstanding in the world. - "Figures of the North and South"
