After hearing the news that Murong Fu would establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, various countries were shocked one after another and began to examine the current situation in the world.
First, there was Dayan established by the Jurchen tribe, and later by Murong Fu who established Dayan. The former was, after all, just a small country composed of a tribal alliance. It was not perfect in terms of scale or system. Although it defeated the Liao army many times, it was not as good as other countries. Come on, that's all.
But Murong Fu's Yan Kingdom was completely different. Not to mention the 100,000 strong troops under Murong Fu, his mere existence was enough to attract the attention of all countries.
Although the Yan Kingdom was first established and its territory was small, no one dared to underestimate Murong Fu as the leader of the country.
Out of fear of Murong Fu, all parties exchanged information and considered the invitation to Yan Bei.
Among them, the Song Dynasty, the main one, united with other countries to express their intention to prevent Murong Fu from establishing the country and proclaiming himself emperor. He also bluntly stated that he had ambitions. If he proclaimed himself emperor, he would definitely bring disaster to the world in the future and bring endless war to all countries. In order to never end the war, We should unite to eliminate this threat completely.
Huizong originally thought that his words would attract the attention of other countries to Murong Fu, but Xixia was the first to express support for Murong Fu's founding of the country, and would even come to congratulate him with generous gifts.
Following that, Tubo also expressed its support for the founding of Dayan in order to control the chaotic situation of the conflict between Liao and Jin in the north.
Finally, Emperor Baoding of Dali also announced that he would send people to Yanbei to congratulate Murong Fu on establishing his country and proclaiming himself emperor.
When Huizong learned about this, he was naturally furious and had no choice but to unite with the Liao Kingdom to resist Dayan. ?.?????.???
However, what made him completely unbearable was that Emperor Tian Zuo directly broke the alliance and wanted to form an alliance with the Yan Kingdom where Murong Fu was located.
Emperor Tianzuo is really scared now. Da Jin's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and his Liao Kingdom has experienced the War of Song and Liao and the Northern Expedition, and its remaining combat power is less than one-fifth of its peak. First, coupled with the endless wars over the years, many Khitan people were displaced and their people lost their moral support. The entire dynasty faced the threat of disintegration at any time.
At this time, Huizong still came to him and asked him to go against Murong Fu. Wasn't this forcing him to die?
If Huizong hadn't stabbed Murong Fu in the back, Yanbei's army would not have withdrawn. With the war situation at that time, the Liao Kingdom could have put down the rebellion at the minimum cost. However, because Huizong stabbed Murong Fu in the back, Yanbei's army withdrew and returned to Dragon City caused him to lose nearly 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses. Otherwise, how could a mere Jurchen tribe have made him so miserable?
After cheating yourself once, now you want to cheat again?
Do you really think I don’t have a brain?
If Emperor Tianzuo hadn't cared about the last trace of dignity between the two countries, he would have chopped off the head of the envoy of the Song Dynasty. He asked the emperor of the Song Dynasty how shameless he was to have the nerve to come to him again?
What kind of crooked melons and cracked dates were those of the Song Dynasty School back then?
Not good at fighting, eating first, almost squandering all his food and grass, but he still won the victory with a last-ditch effort.
Not because the Song Dynasty also suffered heavy losses, Emperor Tianzuo would have gone crazy on the spot, thinking that the Song Dynasty had done it on purpose.
He often thought that Murong Fu was considered half a Song Dynasty at the beginning, so how come the soldiers and horses he brought out were all good at fighting, but when it was the turn of the Song generals to lead the troops, they were just like people who came to make up the numbers and had no effect at all.
However, what Emperor Tianzuo didn't know was that most of the Zhongxing generals of the Song Dynasty had been killed or injured as early as the Battle of Song and Liao. Even those who barely survived later were already old and could no longer fight in the army, let alone go there. Fighting in such a bitter and cold place in the north of Saibei, one might die on the way before reaching the battlefield.
There has always been a proverb in the Song Dynasty: "Good iron cannot be nailed, and good men should not be soldiers." In this dynasty, where the culture of emphasizing civility over military affairs reached its peak, men were proud to enter official careers, so good military generals became There are fewer and fewer people, and the civil and military officials of the dynasty are full of high-spirited young men. On the other hand, among the generals, they are all a group of senile and decrepit people.
Huizong was well aware of how harsh the environment in the north was. He was afraid that something might happen to the remaining veteran generals of the Song Dynasty and would not have the leverage to deal with Murong Fu in the future, so he did not dare to send them out. However, those with a little experience actually fought the battle to a conclusion. With this look, even he himself felt that his face was dull.
Now Emperor Tianzuo was forced by the threat of Dajin to join forces with Murong Fu. Huizong suddenly felt that the situation was very unfavorable to him, so he could only summon his ministers to discuss a solution.
"Now, except for me, the Song Dynasty, all other countries plan to go to Yanbei to congratulate Murong Fu on his founding of the country and proclaiming himself emperor. How do you think we, the Song Dynasty, should respond?"
When Huizong talked about this, he became inexplicably irritable.
Han Zhongyan said, "Murong Fu's move is nothing more than to make the established Yan Kingdom recognized by all countries and appear to be just and legitimate! Now that all countries are willing to give him a face, we might as well follow the general trend and send people to make peace with him." .”
Huizong looked solemnly and said, "Are we just going to watch him establish the country and proclaim himself emperor, and will he oppose me, the Song Dynasty, in the future?"
He knew that the grudge between the two people was difficult to resolve. If Murong Fu became stronger in the future, he would definitely come to him for revenge. In the same way, if he could not get rid of him, he would never sleep peacefully.
Han Zhongyan said, "The general trend is general. If the officials are obsessed with this, I am afraid it will give Murong Fu and other countries an opportunity to criticize our Song Dynasty."
Although Huizong felt unhappy, what Han Zhongyan said was not unreasonable. If all the countries went to congratulate him with gifts, but the Song Dynasty did not show any sign, this would give Murong Fu a reason to trouble him.
The current situation of the Song Dynasty is about the same as that of the Liao Dynasty. A mere Jurchen clan can turn the Liao Dynasty into chaos. If Murong Fu does this, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will not be able to withstand the cavalry of the Yanbei army.
"That's all, let's leave this matter to you, Prime Minister Han!"
It was precisely because Huizong knew how powerful Murong Fu was that he feared him like a tiger and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Now that people are bound to be stronger, he had to choose to bow his head.
Time soon came to the day when Murong Fu established his country and proclaimed himself emperor.
Xixia, Liao, Song, Tubo, Dali, and even Dajin all sent people to congratulate and watch the ceremony.
On February 11, the fourth year of Daguan, Murong Fu proclaimed himself emperor in the old capital of Yan in front of Longcheng. His country was named Dayan and his reign was named Fengtian.
At the enthronement ceremony, Murong Fu canonized Murong Bo as the Supreme Emperor, Xiao Qi as the Queen, and his eldest son Murong Chengze as the Crown Prince. He also appointed hundreds of officials, appointed Gou Du as the Prime Minister, Zong Ze as the Grand Master, and granted military power. In the ancestral temple, there are sacrifices to the three former emperors of Yan, Murong Xin, Emperor Taizu, and Murong Jun.
Murong Wei, the last Youhuang of the former Yan Dynasty, did not enter the ancestral temple because he was stupid and incompetent, and his virtue was not worthy of his position, so he did not enter the ancestral temple and was worshiped by future generations...
