Zhang Yan said that Murong Nobunaga had few available people, which is incorrect.
For example, this time Wang Jing, who urged Murong Nobunaga to accept the book and became the king generously.
This person is not an ordinary person. Historically, he has been in the late Tang, Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, and Northern Song Dynasties. One person has been throughout the entire Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
When he was young, he was bold and free-spirited and informal. After joining the army, he was brave and good at fighting and made outstanding achievements.
When he was in charge of one side, he was tolerant and compassionate towards the people. When he left his post as the governor of Hezhong, the people cried loudly and held on to their stirrups to prevent him from leaving.
Historically, Wang Jing died of illness in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin named him King Qi and his posthumous title Yuan Jing, which was rare among martial artists of the Five Dynasties.
His son Wang Tingyi, general Zhang Jianxiong and others were also outstanding at that time.
The reason why the reputation of this time and space is unknown to Zhang Yan is because he was injured during the battle in Qicheng.
Before he could recover from his injuries, the Khitans entered the Central Plains. Subsequently, the situation was up and down, and Wang Jing, who was retiring in his hometown, was gradually forgotten.
After Zhang Yan revealed that he wanted to seal Murong Nobunaga away, Princess Yongle asked her third sister, Shi Jingtang's wife, to come forward and recruit Wang Jing for Murong Nobunaga.
In addition to Wang Jing, when Murong Nobunaga was in Beiping Mansion, he also obtained "Dingbian Policy" by Wang Puxian, a scholar from Jiaodong. After reading it, his elder son was shocked and became a god, and took him with him to make plans.
Running Jinzhou and luring the snake out of its hole is Wang Pu's masterpiece.
In addition, there are Xiang Xun from Huaizhou, Li Hanqiong from Shendu, and Chen Sirang from Lulong as minions. These three are not as brave as Zhang Xibao and Zhang Cheng.
Xiang Xun, in particular, was the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty. In terms of martial arts and commanding ability, he should be no less than Zhang Zhaojie (Ma Shacai) and others.
The reason why these people can be used by Murong Nobunaga is because of Murong Baipao's loyalty, courage, benevolence, righteousness and righteousness, and his reputation all over the world.
Without the reputation bonus, it would be difficult for Hao Daer to recruit top talents like Wang Jing, Wang Pu and Xiang Xun due to his sensitive status.
As for the Hedong and Daibei warriors who were dissatisfied in Zhang Zhou's dynasty, even more of them took refuge with Murong Nobunaga, including Li Jianchong and his son, Hou Yi, and Li Dejun's three sons.
They either provided people, money and food, or weapons and armor, and they all relied on Murong Nobunaga.
At this moment, in the city of Shenzhou, Murong Nobunaga summoned his civil and military officials and appointed Wang Pu as the chief historian of Bafu, the king of Liaoyang County, Wang Jing as the marching commander of Bafu, Xiang Xun and Li Hanqiong as the left and right governors of Yu, and Chen Sirang as the personal guard soldier and horse envoy. .
Everyone felt full of fighting spirit. In their opinion, Murong Nobunaga was not the king of Liaoyang. He was simply the king of Liao!
If things are done properly in the future, it is not impossible to seize the thirty-six prefectures of Andong Province and become a powerful vassal in the northeast of the country.
In the scene, only Wang Pu and Wang Jing looked at each other, with a wry smile in their eyes.
What Zhang Yan wanted Murong Nobunaga to do in Andong Province was not known to others, but they both knew it.
As Murong Nobunaga's civil and military arm, Murong Nobunaga would certainly not hide these things from them.
"Right now, I am not planning to go to Liaoyang Mansion. The prince has to go there!"
Murong Nobunaga spoke first. His purpose of not moving after arriving in Shenzhou was to force the old Khitan nobles in Liaoyang Mansion to submit.
Nowadays, these people no longer have the ability to fight, but they still have the ability to cause trouble. After all, Murong Nobunaga did not come to loot and then leave, but to guard for a long time.
But at present, except for the 10,000 elites of the headquarters and the 20,000 Tuyuhun and Ningxia Dangxiang cavalry accompanying Murong Nobunaga eastward, there are only less than 200,000 civilians from various tribes.
Among these people, except for some civil servants under Murong Nobunaga's Andong provincial team in Pingzhou, most of them are masters who are illiterate. It is definitely unrealistic to rely on them to control all Andong, so we still have to rely on the old Khitan nobles Cooperate.
But how to cooperate, the two sides are still in constant testing.
Therefore, Murong Nobunaga will not enter the Liaoyang Mansion. If he enters the Liaoyang Mansion, he will be passive. He is surrounded by the old Khitan nobles. To be honest, if they secretly find someone to poison Murong Nobunaga, they may succeed. of.
Murong Nobunaga was thinking more than that. When he pacified the entire Anton this time, he would naturally have to change a group of people to become the Master.
At least the Han people who were originally captured as serfs by the Khitans naturally had to stand up and take charge.
A large number of the remaining Khitan and Xiren nobles who used to be domineering must also be liquidated.
Otherwise, Murong Nobunaga would not be able to distribute so much wealth to those around him, which meant that he would not be able to recruit a large number of old Khitan nobles.
Of course Wang Jing knew what Murong Nobunaga meant. Now in Anton, as long as Murong Nobunaga is here, the old Khitan nobles will not be able to make trouble. There are many Han people around Shenzhou, and if there are ten thousand people riding around to protect them, Murong Xin will The long life is as peaceful as Mount Tai.
And he, Wang Jing, will naturally become a vicious dog for King Murong.
When he arrives in Liaoyang, those people will understand that they are not waiting for Murong Nobunaga to cooperate, but who wants to cooperate and who wants to be a dog depends on whether Wang Jingfang will give him a chance and whether King Murong will give him a chance.
So Wang Jing raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please allocate five thousand cavalry, and I will go to Liaoyang Mansion immediately."
Murong Nobunaga shook his head, "I can't give Jinggong five thousand cavalry. I can give him at most three thousand cavalry, because the remaining two thousand cavalry must be taken by Xiang Xun to Huanzhou."
Wang Jing instantly understood that Huanzhou (Jilin Ji'an) was the largest military state close to Wang's Goguryeo Kingdom, and it was the capital of Goguryeo in history.
There are also gathered here a group of frustrated people from the Dongdan Kingdom who only have a national title, but have ceased to exist in name only.
It seems that King Murong is preparing to let Xiang Xun go to Huanzhou, hoarding supplies to prepare for the attack on Wang's Korea, and at the same time gathering the remaining forces of the former Dongdan Kingdom and Bohai.
"In this case, please allow me to recruit a few people in Liaoyang Mansion for my use." Wang Jing still felt that it was a little tricky to suppress Liaoyang Mansion with only three thousand cavalry.
Murong Nobunaga nodded. He knew that Wang Jing wanted to accept a few dogs as assistants, but Murong Nobunaga's dog food was very limited, so he only stretched out two fingers.
"Two at most!"
Wang Jing chuckled and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty. Two are enough."
Then Murong Nobunaga looked at Xiang Xun and said, "Xiang Xingmin, I will give you one battalion of elites from Fan Yang Army and Andong Town each, and I will also give you one thousand Tuyuhunjing cavalry and three hundred Hengshan Qiang Bubazi. Remember I will tell you the most important thing after you go to Huanzhou."
"I accept the order and will never disappoint the king's trust."
Although Xiang Xun was a little confused about Murong Nobunaga's order to hoard a large amount of supplies in Huanzhou and build it into a later base capable of supplying 50,000 troops, but now that the order has been issued, he will carry it out without compromise.
"Your Majesty, in both Yinzhou and Guidezhou, people's houses and crops were burned down, and bridges were damaged. The inspection envoys from the two states sent people to report it. How should we deal with it?"
The personal guard commander Chen Sirang raised his hand and said that Yinzhou and Guidezhou are near Shenzhou, the former is the later 'big city' Tieling, and the latter is the famous coal base Fushun.
After hearing Chen Sirang's report, I, King Murong, who always showed a generous and generous image, showing mercy to the weak, suddenly showed a rare sinister expression on his face, and he glared at Chen Sirang.
"Why do you need to report this kind of thing? What do they use the swords in their hands for?"
Chen Sirang quickly took the order and went down to make arrangements, and the generals immediately left. Only Wang Pu and Murong Nobunaga were left in the room.
Wang Pu calmly drank the good tea brought by the maid in the palace. It was not until Murong Nobunaga started to feel a little restless that he smiled.
"What the king is worried about is that the external disturbances will affect the saint's trust in the king. The minister dared to ask, the fertile land of Andong Province is thousands of miles away, and it is the place where the king's ancestors made their fortune. Is it possible to occupy this land for this purpose? What are the thoughts of Yiqiang Fan?"
To Wang Pu's surprise, Murong Nobunaga nodded slowly.
But just when Wang Pu's heart was about to jump out of his chest, Murong Nobunaga sighed and then said.
"If you say you don't have this idea, you are definitely lying. The Japanese country is barbaric, with the Wang family and Korea in between, how can it compare to the wealth of Andong.
Moreover, the Japanese country is to the east of the sea, and it is more than ten thousand miles away. Once Nobunaga leaves, I am afraid that he will never see his mother and adults again! "
With that said, Murong Nobunaga waved his hand to the maid to pour him a cup of hot tea. After taking a few sips, he continued.
"My father, Murong Nobunaga, has been gone before I can remember. It was the saint who promoted me, a boy from Hu'er, Xianbei, to the high position I am today. He treated me as his own son. He was so kind and affectionate that even if he died, he would not be able to repay me. This is the duty of being a human being!
Outsiders saw that I, Murong Nobunaga, defeated the Khitan in just one and a half years, and touted a certain family as Zhang Wenyuan, who was able to defeat Liaodong in one battle.
But in fact, the prince also saw that after I defeated the main force of the Khitan, I still did not dare to enter the Liaoyang Mansion rashly. This is because the Khitan is a big country with a territory of thousands of miles and an armor of 100,000 people. It can be compared with the old Goguryeo and cannot be regarded as ordinary. Rong Yi. "
At this point, Murong Nobunaga's eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if a mortal had seen the arrival of a god, and his tone changed from worry and desolation to a kind of excitement with worship.
"In the past, when he was in Liangzhou Prefecture, Chengtian, the saint clearly had the ability to win Guanzhong and overthrow the puppet Jin with great righteousness, but he kept it secret.
All the civil servants and generals were puzzled by this, and even extremely intelligent people such as Concubine Cao, the mother of a certain family, could not figure out why the saint had to wait.
Until one day, the saint drank too much wine at my mother's birthday banquet. He took the hands of a certain person and Li Cunhui and Li Sanlang and said.
'My son knows that Yelu Deguang will enter the Central Plains in five years, and a certain person has been dormant in Hexi, waiting for him to go south.
With my power, if I enter the Central Plains now, even if I can unify the Central Plains, what I will face in the future is the Haidong Sheng Kingdom, which is far more terrifying than Goguryeo in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
If he could just be patient and wait until Yelv Deguang made a mistake, the Khitan would be able to decide the outcome in one battle. '
It turned out that just after the fifth year of Yelu Deguang's reign, he launched an army to invade the south. It was even expected that the Khitans would clear grass and valleys in the Central Plains, and the puppet Jin people would rise up to resist. "
"Hiss!" Wang Pu couldn't help but take a sharp breath, predicting the general direction of something. Although this is outrageous, it can still be done. Wang Pu has this ability in some aspects.
But five years ago, it was hard for people to believe that everything that would happen five years later was accurately predicted one by one, and even the time was roughly accurate. Except for gods and Buddhas, probably no mortal could do it.
Could it be?
Saying this may have been the shock that had been hidden in Murong Nobunaga's heart for a long time. The old man felt a lot more relaxed. He looked at Wang Pu and continued.
"So it seems that I, Murong Nobunaga, defeated the Khitan, but in fact, their failure was expected by the saint as early as seven or eight years ago.
With the Khitan's national strength, if they didn't enter the Central Plains and didn't take the initiative to come to us and kill most of their elites in a battle, could we control the entire Andong Province so easily? "
Wang Pu thought for a moment and thought that there might be 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers waiting for them in Liaodong. Not to mention that there were only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers under the command of Liaoyang County. Even if there were twice as many, it would depend on the weather to defeat the Khitan army. With such a favorable geographical location, it is impossible to enter Liaoyang Mansion so easily.
"It's really impossible! If Yelu Deguang and the main force of the Khitan are still there, they can recover the Sixteen Youyun Provinces, which will be enough to boast to future generations!"
"So!" Murong Nobunaga gave a bitter smile, "It's like... No! It's just that the god's father is here, how dare I, Murong Nobunaga, have any inappropriate thoughts.
Moreover, how painful it would be for the mother to go against the adults.
She was a widow who lost her husband shortly after getting married. She worked hard to raise a certain person and taught me how to read and understand. Now that I finally had someone to rely on, how could I put my mother in a dilemma again. "
Hearing what Murong Nobunaga said, Wang Pu also smiled bitterly. He originally thought about whether he could encourage Murong Nobunaga to stay in Liaoyang and become the king of Liao directly.
But looking at it now, don't think about it. King Murong has no intention of resisting his cheap friend Shao Mingzi. He should just go to Japan to eat fish.
"In this case, I have an idea. Doesn't the saint want to show his power on the grassland and restrain Shi Yanran?
Your Majesty, it would be better for you to immediately lead your elite troops to the north, raid Yinzhou (Tieling), Tongzhou (Siping), Xinzhou (Changchun) and other places, recruit and recruit the Shiwei and Jurchen tribes in the north, so that they will not be used by the Khitan Empress Dowager Shuluping. .
In this way, the saint will naturally know the king's mind. "
As the saying goes, it is better to do it once than to say it a hundred times. This is indeed the best way for Murong Nobunaga to express his feelings.
Murong Nobunaga was overjoyed when he heard this, "What the prince said, in line with Nobunaga's wishes, I immediately organized my troops and prepared to go north."
. . . .
Yanran Mountain, also known as Hangai Mountain in Mongolia in later generations, was often called Tianshan Mountain during the Tang Dynasty.
Unlike the vast desert grasslands that later generations imagined, in fact, there are still mountains on the Mongolian Plateau.
The most famous among them are Yanran Mountain located in the southwest of the former Yanran Governor's Mansion (Ulaanbaatar) in the Tang Dynasty and Langjuxu Mountain in the northeast.
These two mountains are diagonally opposite to each other. Harhelin and Ulaanbaatar between the two mountains are the places with the most abundant water and grass in the entire Mobei Plateau.
Zhao Xincheng, Longcheng and Shan Yuting in the Han Dynasty, Hanhai Dudufu and Yanran Dudufu in the Tang Dynasty, and Zubu Palace in the Liao and Northern Song Dynasties were all located here.
Even in later generations, the vast majority of Mongolia's population was also in this place.
The reason is that in the rather arid Mobei grassland, the snow melt water rivers flowing down from Yanran Mountain, such as Guge Water and Punu Water.
The Yuwu River and Gonglu River flowing down from Langjuxu Mountain are the most important water sources in the entire Mobei grassland.
At the same time, there are many small valleys and hills in these two mountains, which can be used to build cities in dangerous places or to avoid the biting cold wind from the Xianbei wilderness.
The herders in Mobei are not penguins in Antarctica. They are also afraid of the ice and snow.
Therefore, the grassland between Yanran Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain is the last stronghold of the Mobei nomads. Once the Han people attack this place, their doom will come.
They're not hard to find either.
