It is said that Murong Chui paid tribute to the Imperial Ancestral Temple of Yan State at night and killed the officials guarding the temple. He and Zhao Qiu and other entourage took advantage of the night to bribe the gate guards and escaped from Yecheng. They rushed to the Xianbei camp of Murong clan in Anyang City overnight.
The next day, Duke Fu Pi of Changle reported that Murong Chui had killed the officials of the Imperial Ancestral Temple of Yan State and privately paid homage to Murong's Ancestral Temple. He was very dissatisfied at first, but after hearing Pingxi General Shi Yue curse Murong Chui repeatedly, all the resentment in Fu Pi's heart suddenly disappeared. Disappear.
Fu Pi said in public: "It has been more than ten years since the fall of the Yan Kingdom, and Murong Chui has also left his hometown of the Yan Kingdom in Hebei for more than ten years. This time he followed his father's order and returned to Hebei to recruit various tribes. Passing by Yecheng, he couldn't help feeling homesick for a while. Love is also human nature and there is no need to delve into it.”
Shi Yue rushed to say: "But your lord, Murong Chui not only entered the Ancestral Temple without permission to pay homage, he also killed several people guarding the temple pavilion. We cannot let him off easily just for the crime of murder! How could your lord be allowed to do so for a moment?" How can I forgive this Xianbei traitor because of my kindness?"
Fu Pi: "Since you said that Murong Chui was like a crouching tiger and a sleeping dragon in Yecheng, and you were always afraid that he would cause trouble, wouldn't it be better to let him travel far away now? Besides, Zhai Bin is fierce and rebellious, and he will definitely not be willing to stay here. If you are downwind, both tigers will be injured, which is very good.”
Shi Yue's voice became louder and louder: "Murong Chui has always had a noble character, literary skills and military skills. He has been undefeated for decades and has won the hearts of both the government and the public. He must be on guard. Now that he has left His Majesty, he has completely broken free from the shackles. , is letting the tiger return to the mountain. The Lord can take this opportunity to announce Murong Chui's crime and call on the righteous men of Hebei to kill the traitors. The great plan of Anbang and the country must not be abandoned because of trivial matters..."
Fu Pi did not answer, seeming to be thinking about Shi Yue's advice, but the result was undoubtedly disappointing to Shi Yue.
No matter how much Shi Yue tried his best, Fu Pi did not give the order to attack Murong Chui in Anyang. Shi Yue sighed angrily and did not obey.
After Shi Yue retreated, he told the generals: "Your Majesty and Duke Changle and his son both like to do small favors, regardless of the overall plan of the world, and will eventually be captured by others."
Shi Yue saw that Fu Pi had no intention of plotting against Murong Chui, so he could only return to the Yecheng camp to reorganize his troops and prepare for any changes.
On this day, the military information about Ding Ling's leader Zhai Bin's plot to rebel and attack Luoyang reached the ears of Anyang Murong Chui. After hearing the news, Murong Chui immediately summoned the generals for discussion.
Fenwei General Murong De first said: "Zhai Bin's attack on Luoyang City must have been supported by Ding Ling's ministries and Wubao from various places. They have a large number of people and we cannot confront them head-on."
Murong De is Murong Chui's younger brother. After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, Murong De was settled in Chang'an together with the Yan Kingdom clan, and then followed his brother Murong Chui.
"Father, what my uncle said is right. We only have three thousand troops allocated by the King of Qin. Zhai Bin has tens of thousands of troops. We cannot attack by force!" Murong Nong, the third son of Murong Chui, stood up and agreed.
At this time, Murong Chui's sixth son, Murong Lin, also said: "The third brother is right. Please postpone sending troops."
Not only Murong Nong, Murong Lin, but also Murong Chui's other sons looked at each other, thinking that it was not appropriate to send troops at this time, lest they become a stepping stone for others and make wedding clothes for others.
Murong Chui didn't know that it was impossible to quell Zhai Bin's rebellion with only 3,000 troops, but as the commander-in-chief, he could not personally say in public that he would postpone the dispatch of troops or anything like this that would damage morale.
"What you said makes sense. Let the marching commanders Ma Minliang and Li Pi write a letter and send it to Changle Duke Fu Pi, asking for reinforcements." Murong Chui stood up quickly and issued the military order.
The news spread like wildfire that Zhai Bin, the leader of the Ding Ling tribe, had rebelled against Luoyang and besieged Luoyang. Fu Hui, the governor of Yuzhou and Pingyuan, was in chaos. He summoned Mao Dang, the general of the town army who had defeated Liu Laozhi in Chen County, to return to Luoyang. At the same time, he wrote a letter of resignation to Duke Changle. Fu Pi asked for help.
Fu Pi heard that Zhai Bin risked the disapproval of the world and raised an army to rebel. He had long forgotten the words of Shi Yue, the general who conquered the west, admonishing him to always beware of Murong Chui. He sent his clan member Fu Feilong and two thousand troops to go to Murong Chui's tent to obey orders. , ordered Murong Chuixi to attack Zhai Bin.
Shi Yue took Fu Feilong to the outside of the Jizhou Pastoral Office and asked him privately: "General Fu, do you know why the Lord sent you to assist Murong Chui?"
"Please give me some advice, old general." Fu Feilong was only twenty years old and didn't know much about the world. Fu Pi only asked him to lead his army to assist Anyang. Only when Shi Yue asked him did he realize, was he going to take the opportunity to attack Murong Chui?
Shi Yue said with a serious face: "When you go to Anyang this time, you must keep a close eye on Murong Chui. If there is any abnormal movement, you don't need to ask for permission, and he will be killed immediately!"
Fu Feilong's face suddenly turned livid, and he asked again and again. Shi Yue told him not to stick to conventional laws, and when it was time to take action, he should cut through the mess with a quick sword and never retain the kindness of a woman.
Fu Feilong remembered Shi Yue's instructions and selected two thousand troops to march overnight and rushed to Anyang to support Murong Chui.
At the Qin army's camp outside Anyang City, the red flag was fluttering and soldiers and horses were ready. It was Murong Chui who was leading his people to greet Fu Feilong.
Fu Feilong: "Marquis Bindu, Duke Changle sent his last general to lead two thousand elite troops to support you, and ordered us to send troops immediately to relieve the siege of Luoyang and rescue Duke Pingyuan. This is an important matter, so we cannot slack off!"
Murong Chui: "What General Fu said is that I have ordered the army to station outside the city and be ready to move out at any time. Zhai Bin is powerful, so we can rest during the day and march at night so that we can catch him off guard. General Fu, please look at it." "
While they were talking, the generals of the Murong clan, together with Fu Feilong, went to the school grounds outside Anyang City to review the army that was about to go on an expedition.
"Okay, okay!" Fu Feilong was very satisfied when he saw that the troops were in good order, "In this way, the siege of Luoyang can be solved, and Zhai Bin will definitely lose!"
The generals also joined in and seemed to be in harmony.
That night, Murong Chui and others secretly gathered in the tent to discuss matters, and were making decisions about setting up camp. When they were marching westward at night, the Xianbei soldiers rushed the marching Sima Minliang and Li Pi who Murong Chui had sent to Yecheng for help to the camp. , requesting an interview, Murong Chui immediately ordered the two of them to enter the account.
The soldiers opened the tent door, and the marching commanders, Min Liang and Li Pi, knelt down in front of everyone. Min Liang loudly reported: "Report to your Majesty, when Changle Duke Ming Fu Feilong entered Anyang to aid, the prince Zuowei led the expedition to the west and General Shi Yue secretly confessed He took the opportunity to kill the king and swallow up my Xianbei tribe..."
"Wow——"
Everyone was shocked. Murong Nong, Murong Lin and other sons of Murong Chui could no longer hold back the sword in their waists.
Murong De: "Third brother, you are loyal to the Qin State. After Feishui, you were unwilling to bear the infamy and killed Fu Jian, and even personally escorted Fu Jian back. However, Fu Jian and his son are not always plotting against us, those of us who will subjugate our country and ruin our family. Now that the matter has come to an end, you should give the order!”
Murong Chui was still hesitating, "Your Majesty, he is definitely not that treacherous villain..."
Murong Nong suddenly raised his voice: "Father, when did this happen? The Fu family is going to kill them all! Father must not hesitate. The Fu family's kindness to my family has been repaid by my father's war in the north and south. It’s over. Father should think about us. Has father forgotten the great hatred of the country’s subjugation?”
Murong Chui could no longer sit upright, so he asked the generals of the Murong clan for advice. His sixth son, Murong Lin, offered his advice: "My father told Fu Feilong that we should march at night to attack Zhai Bin. We can let Fu Feilong's two thousand men advance in advance. We Xianbei troops are behind us, waiting for an opportunity to kill all the Qin troops who are watching us..."
"This plan works."
"This plan works."
All Murong generals, without exception, agreed to attack and kill Fu Feilong.
"Then after killing Fu Feilong, have you thought about how Fu Hui of Luoyang and Fu Pi of Yecheng will deal with us?" Murong Chui sat down slowly and continued to ask what the next step should be.
The generals calmed down and turned their attention to Murong Lin.
Murong Lin thought about it immediately and said: "It is better to follow Fu Jian's old order and go to attack Zhai Bin."
"Are you going to attack Zhai Bin?" Murong Nong did not agree to fight with Zhai Bin. That would be a snipe and a clam fighting for the benefit of the fishermen.
"No!" Murong Lin's tone suddenly increased and he spoke faster: "Continuing to follow Fu Jian's edict to crusade against Zhai Bin is just to hide our true purpose. This is a pretense to show Fu Pi in Yecheng, so that he can deal with it. Let's put our guard down. Then we secretly negotiate a peace with Zhai Bin, or an alliance between the two armies. In this way, we can attack Luoyang or Yecheng, change from passive to active, eat away at Qin's power in Hebei, and restore the Yan Kingdom!"
Murong Chui thought for a long time and quickly made up his mind to act according to Murong Lin's plan!
Before Murong Chui surrendered to the Qin State, Murong Lin had repeatedly reported his father to Murong Ping, the Prime Minister of the Former Yan Dynasty, so Murong Chui immediately killed his mother. However, he still could not bear to kill Murong Lin and let him live in a hotel outside the city. , rarely see him.
This time, Murong Lin repeatedly provided suggestions and helped Murong Chui attack and kill Fu Feilong. He also inspired Murong Chui a lot. Murong Chui thought he was extraordinary and loved him as much as his other sons.
That night, Murong Chui's general order was sent to Fu Feilong's camp. Fu Feilong was unprepared and ordered to break out of the camp and march westward to attack Zhai Bin's former army. Within a few hours, Fu Feilong, who was marching, was attacked and killed by the Xianbei army led by the Murong clan generals who had ambushed in advance. Murong Chui's eldest son Murong Bao and Murong Long attacked him from behind. Fu Feilong died in a fierce battle. Lian Fu Pi sent Not a single one of the two thousand Yecheng soldiers was left, and they were all massacred by the Xianbei army...
Although Xu Zongwen was not in Anyang, he had long known what Murong Chui was doing. Because the situation in Linzi was complicated and could not be settled for a while, and Murong Chui was far away in Hebei, he was really beyond his reach, so he just went with the flow.
