In January of the ninth year of Taiyuan, this year was the second year after the Feishui War between Qin and Jin Dynasties. The three armies of the Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition were overwhelming.
The East Route Army, led by General Zhu Xu, led Zhendong General Xu Yuanxi, General Xu Xiao, General Ningyuan Zhu Chen and others, with a total of 15,000 troops. It took less than a month to capture Xia. The six counties of Pi, Donghai, Pengcheng, Lanling, Dongguan, and Langya, plus the two counties of Guangling and Linhuai that were already in the hands of the Jin Dynasty, were restored to Xuzhou.
The Central Route Army, under the command of Chariot General Xie Xuan, with Right Army General Huan Yi, Longxiang General Xie Yan, and Jianwu General Liu Laozhi as generals, commanded 50,000 Beifu troops to attack Yuzhou. It took two months and in the ninth year of Taiyuan On the second day of the first lunar month, all the ten counties of Qiaojun, Peijun, Runan, Xiangcheng, Lujun, Yingchuan, Ruyin, Liangjun, Yiyang, and Anfeng in Yuzhou were included in the pocket, and troops were stationed in Sui on the lower reaches of the Suishui River. Yangcheng, march towards Xiangyi and Yongqiu where Chenliu of Yanzhou...
The Eastern Route Army was led by Huan Chong, the general who conquered the west and the governor of Jingzhou. He led 100,000 Xifu soldiers, led by General Huan Shiqian, General Zhenwu Huan Shimin, etc., and successively recovered Badong County in Liangzhou, and It originally belonged to the four counties of Shangyong, Xincheng, Weixing and Hanzhong in the Jin Dynasty. The proud and arrogant Huan Shiqian stationed 20,000 troops at the foot of Xiangyang City. He was so frightened that Qin's Jingzhou governor Dugui abandoned tens of thousands of defenders and fled to Luyang in Nanyang County alone. Huan Shiqian captured it without any effort. We arrived at Xiangyang, which was the city where Qin's army of more than 100,000 had been attacking for a year. It was also the place where Zhu Xu was captured.
The house leaked but it rained all night, the ship was late and encountered a storm. When the Jin army started its Northern Expedition, the states in the Central Plains were in chaos because of Zhai Bin, a man from Dingling!
On December 30, Ding Ling's leader Zhai Bin formally rebelled against Qin with 30,000 troops in Xingyang, Sizhou, and named himself King of Wei. Murong Chui attacked and killed Fu Feilong in Anyang on the 27th, then moved west to Dangyin and Chaoge, stationing troops in Yangwu City in the east of Xingyang. After hearing the news, the nearby Xianbei people defected one after another, and Murong Chui's number increased to 8,000. !
After Ding Ling raised an army to rebel against Qin, the Hu people around Xingyang also took advantage of the trend to surrender. The largest force was Murong Feng and Wang Teng and Duan Yan, the former ministers of Yan State. Murong Feng heard that Zhai Bin had raised an army, and each led his troops to approach. Ten thousand people joined Zhai Bin.
At the foot of Xingyang City, Zhai Bin looked at the strong Xianbei army outside the city and personally dismounted to greet Murong Feng and Wang Teng. Zhai Bin held Murong Feng's hands tightly and said in a trembling voice with excitement: "Young Master can help me. It's really me." Ding Ling is so lucky!"
Murong Feng also laughed loudly and said: "The king is the first to raise the banner of justice and oppose the tyranny of the Qin State. He is a person we admire. It is my luck, Murong Feng, to be able to help the king."
Zhai Bin dragged Murong Feng into Xingyang City, and was warmly welcomed by the generals and captains of the Ding Ling tribe in Xingyang City along the way. Undoubtedly, Murong Feng's joining made Xingyang City's strength even higher.
Who is Murong Feng?
The grandson of Murong Huang, the founder of the Yan Kingdom, the crown prince of Yidu King Murong Huan, and the nephew of Murong Chui. Murong Feng's father, Murong Feng's father, Murong Huan, King of Yidu, died on the battlefield when the Qin Dynasty destroyed Yan fourteen years ago. The battlefield was stained with blood at the age of ten. One-year-old Murong Feng was forced to wander in his hometown in Liaodong, where he made friends with Xianbei and Ding Ling tribes. Because of his bold personality, bravery and force, many people were willing to follow him.
Among those many followers, Wang Teng, an old minister of Yan State, was one of them. Wang Teng later became Murong Feng's adviser, and it was Wang Teng's suggestion that Murong Feng defected to Zhai Bin.
Murong Chui heard that his nephew was in Xingyang and sent an envoy to contact him, hoping to get Murong Feng's support.
Since Zhai Bin received Murong Feng and Wang Teng's 10,000 troops, he has seen more and more troops joining him from far and near. He held a small banquet every three days and a large banquet every five days to entertain Murong Feng and other Xianbei generals. Xingyang City also gathered many people. Xianbei and Ding Ling warriors are getting stronger and stronger!
Changle Duke Fu Pi heard that Murong Chui had killed Fu Feilong, and he angrily cursed generations of ancestors of the Murong family in Yan State. He immediately asked Pingxi General Shi Yue to lead an army to attack Murong Chui. After Shi Yue received the order, he immediately ordered his troops and horses to leave Yecheng and hurriedly marched towards him. Xingyang County rushed out, he had long known that Murong Chui would rebel, and he couldn't wait to kill Murong Chui, this ungrateful young man!
Murong Chui soon learned of the news of the troops dispatched to Yecheng. Under the coordination of Murong Feng, Murong Chui and Zhai Bin turned their hostility into friendship and temporarily ceased fighting. Zhai Bin even ordered Murong Feng to lead troops to support Yangwu and help Murong Chui resist Shi Yue's army. .
Murong Feng came to Yangwu and said to Murong Chui: "My nephew heard that Uncle Wang returned to Hebei, and he had long wanted to come and serve. The reason why he attached to Zhai Bin was to offer a great gift to Uncle Wang! But today, since my nephew When I come, I will avenge the shame of the late king and request that Shi Yue, a Di slave, be killed for Uncle Wang."
"All of my Murong family's descendants are wise and brave. Only Ziye is my Murong family's thousand-mile horse!" Murong Chui led the Murong family's children out of the city to greet Murong Feng. He praised Murong Feng with his words, intentionally or unintentionally. He hurt his sons again.
Murong Feng was humble and polite, and saluted frequently: "How can my nephew be considered a thousand-mile horse? I just hope that I will follow Uncle Wang in the future, let Yan Jian surrender to the Qin State, and assist Uncle Wang in completing the great cause of rejuvenation and rebuilding Yan!"
"Okay! Be ambitious!" Murong Chui personally saw off Murong Feng, and carefully analyzed Shi Yue's strength to Murong Feng, which doubled Murong Feng's confidence.
Murong Feng bid farewell to Murong Chui and rushed to Yecheng day and night. He met Shi Yue's conquest army at Chaoge. Murong Feng wore armor and marched forward, followed by Ding Ling's soldiers. Murong Feng was defeated in the first battle. The army of the former Qin Dynasty beheaded Shi Yue.
Yes, you read that right. Murong Feng beheaded Shi Yue in one battle. Murong Feng took the initiative to propose a fight before the two armies fought. Shi Yue was highly skilled in martial arts and had been on the battlefield for many years. Naturally, he did his part and went up with a machete on his hip and his beloved horse. After the scene, Murong Feng grew up outside the Great Wall, chasing tigers, leopards and wolves, fighting black bears with his bare hands. His arms were as thick as thighs. When Shi Yue saw a burly man with a nine-foot-long back and a bear-like waist straddling out of the horse, the feeling in his stomach My intestines are so wet!
Murong Feng and Shi Yue fought for less than ten rounds. Shi Yue was snatched by Murong Feng from his horse. His head was smashed by Murong Feng with a hammer. His brains burst. Shi Yue died on the spot. Ten thousand people followed Shi Yue to conquer Murong. The stunned Qin army immediately dispersed, and the Qin army was defeated!
Then Murong Feng marched to attack the Qin army garrisoning Ji County, captured Ji County, and captured the armor and weapons of more than 10,000 Qin soldiers.
After Murong Feng returned to Xingyang, he persuaded Zhai Bin: "Your Majesty, King Yan is the son of a civilized emperor. He has never been defeated since joining the army. In the battle of Fangtou, even the great Sima Huan Wen of the Jin Dynasty was defeated by King Yan."
"Guandong, Hebei, was originally the hometown of the Yan Kingdom. Ever since King Yan left King Qin and returned to the land of Yan, people came to seek refuge every day. When King Yan killed Fu Feilong in Anyang, there were only two or three thousand people. After arriving in Yangwu, the number increased to eight Ten thousand, and now there are fifty thousand horses and horses, and in a few months it will probably exceed one hundred thousand. It is the general trend for King Yan to revive the Yan Kingdom."
"Now that things have happened, it is very clear what the people's support is. If the king wants to achieve great things, he should help King Yan. If King Yan achieves the emperor's career, the Ding Ling family may not be unable to get the opportunity to show their ambitions. The king's dragon will get water and go straight to the blue clouds. You never know that you will be admired by thousands of people!”
In fact, when Murong Feng took refuge with Zhai Bin, it was to join his uncle Murong Chui in the future. Wang Teng offered Murong Feng a plan to surrender Zhai Bin.
After Zhai Bin led 30,000 people to surrender to Murong Chui, Murong Chui already had 80,000 people under his command. Murong Chui knew that the opportunity to restore the country was in his own hands, so he proclaimed himself emperor in Xingyang, went east to conquer Hebei, and rebelled against Qin. , the Central Plains and Hebei were in chaos, and an irreversible crack began to appear in the huge territory of the former Qin Dynasty. Various ethnic groups in Guanzhong, Hedong and other places established themselves as kings.
King Fu Jian of Qin was like a fire captain, putting out the fires of rebellion everywhere. However, the fires burned stronger and stronger, and more and more rebellions were suppressed. Fu Jian was left with little support, and in the end he could only defend the isolated city of Chang'an.
It happened that at this critical moment of national crisis, there was a severe drought and famine near Chang'an, so that the officials of Qin were reluctant to swallow the preserved meat given to them at the banquet. The officials could only hold it in their mouths and take it back to the mansion to feed their wives, civil and military officials. All the officials are in such a state of desolation, let alone the ordinary people, who can't even grab the roots and leaves of trees to gnaw on!
