When the figures of Yao Xing and Liu Weichen disappeared into the dark night, a cold light flashed in the deep eyes of Murong Yong, who was standing on the arrow tower. Han Yan on one side raised the corner of his mouth and said dissatisfiedly. "My lord, why did you agree to their conditions and let Gao Gai die?"
Murong Yong said calmly, "Gao Gai must die. He was the instigator of the two killings of the lord and the establishment of a new king. Duan Sui and the others had to toss a few more times before it was my turn to take over. I don't want to have such a number one person around me. It’s hard to sleep and eat well.”
Han Yan sighed, "But after all, Gao Gai is our minister in Xiyan. He has good relations with several chiefs and is the mainstay of our Xiyan. Isn't it too early to let him die before his great cause has been accomplished?"
Murong Yong waved his hand, "It is precisely because we are about to go to Hedong and face a strong enemy, so we must get rid of him first. This is not to show favor to Yao Chang and Liu Weichen, but mainly for ourselves. Gao Gai has now accepted Yang Ding He is an adopted son, but he is the most brave in the army. The last time he killed Murong Chong, Yang Ding killed dozens of Murong Chong's personal guards with his own hands. I am scared just thinking about it."
Han Yan laughed and said, "If the lord is worried about Yang Ding's bravery, he might as well leave it to his subordinates. Yang Ding and I are on good terms now. When he was captured last time, I begged for mercy and spared his life. It was also my suggestion when he killed Murong Chong." Let him lead the army and avenge his father-in-law Fu Jian. The city of Chang'an was destroyed. I also protected his wife from being insulted by the rebel soldiers and reunited their husband and wife. As long as the lord just says a word, I can bring Yang Ding to justice. Pull it from Gao Gai.”
Murong Yong smiled and shook his head, "Old Han, you are indeed kind to Yang Ding, but it is not enough to make him leave with us. Yang Ding is a Di and his hometown is in Qiuchi. In the past, there was civil strife in Qiuchi, and his ancestors were killed by the same clan. He was killed and had no choice but to defect to the former Qin Dynasty and was taken in by Fu Jian. The Yang family also fought for the former Qin Dynasty. His second uncle Yang Qiu was still trapped in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the last battle of Feishui, not to mention Yang Ding. After fighting with us for several years, he was Fu Jian's number one general, and he was worthy of the former Qin. Now that the former Qin has died, Yang Ding has to consider his own future. No matter how kind you were to him in the past, after he has repaid you , I still want my own future.”
Han Yan was surprised and said, "Lord, what do you mean by this is that Yang Ding has his own plans?"
Murong Yong's eyes flashed coldly, "We Xianbei people are going back to Guandong, and Yang Ding also wants to take this opportunity to return to his ancestral home in Qiuchi. Therefore, I want to give him this opportunity. This is more than the kindness you gave him in the past. are much more important.”
Han Yan's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Murong Yong suddenly leaned forward with a smile, stretched out his shield, and said to the arrow tower, "General Yang, don't you think so?"
There was a sound of armor cracking in the air, and a man in a soldier's uniform jumped up from the bottom of the tower. He jumped up from the archery tower more than ten feet high, and stood upright in front of Murong Yong and Han Yan. Although He was dressed like a soldier, but he still couldn't hide his nearly nine-foot body length, and his tendons made his even-large leather armor rattle, and even the whole piece of leather armor could be vaguely revealed. Some muscles appeared. This man was in his thirties, with a leopard head and eyes, and a beard. Could he be Yang Ding, the most powerful general of the former Qin Dynasty, known as Little Lu Bu?
Han Yan suddenly realized, "It turns out that you have been listening by the side all this time. Ading, I really belong to you."
Yang Ding smiled slightly, "It was General Murong who specially invited me to come and listen to a good show today. This is your trust in me. How dare Yang Ding not repay it with his life? Tell me, General Murong, what do you want me to do?"
Murong Yong's eyes sparkled, "I understand you, General Yang, because we are on the same road. Our country has been destroyed and our family has been destroyed. We can only rely on others temporarily. Now that the former Qin Dynasty has died, there is no one in Guanzhong. You and I can pursue our own achievements." Now, I will go to Hedong, and you will return to Qiuchi to restore the country, and everyone will get what they need. Wouldn’t it be fun?"
Yang Ding hesitated for a moment, looked embarrassed, and said, "It should be like this, but I am a person with a clear sense of grudges and grudges. Anyone who is kind to me will definitely repay me. Gao Shangshu has been very kind to me. If it weren't for him, and General Han, I would have He was already beheaded by Murong Chong. This time I took revenge and killed Murong Chong. It was Gao Shangshu who gave me three hundred tiger swords to help me avenge my great revenge. I cannot betray him at this time."
Murong Yong sneered, "But don't forget, Gao Gai is also your enemy, and if you think about it carefully, why did you ask Gao Gai to protect your wife when you broke the city in Chang'an, but the one who found her first was Rebellious soldiers? If I hadn't let Han Yan follow me, I'm afraid your wife and children would have been harmed."
A trace of surprise flashed across Yang Ding's face: "General Murong, don't say anything without evidence. How could my adoptive father harm me? I have also checked those rebels. They are not his subordinates. When the city of Chang'an was destroyed, the entire city was destroyed." The Xiyan army is looting and killing people, so it is normal for other soldiers to be found."
Murong Yong sighed, "General Yang, if you think about it carefully, your wife and brother were taking refuge at that time. Rebel soldiers broke in. They saw their gold and silver treasures but did not steal them. Instead, they wanted to do something wrong to your wife." , the Xiyan army is a group of robbers, they are just for money, how can they abandon their own strength to play with women? At that time, Han Yan and Gao Gai's people arrived at the scene almost at the same time. Gao Gai killed all the rebels without explanation. Do you think this is revenge for you? Or do you want to kill people and silence them?”
Yang Ding was dumbfounded and started to sweat on his head, but he still shook his head, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, he doesn't have the need to do this, no!"
Murong Yong said coldly, "Why is it not necessary? Your wife and brother are still here, which is your tie. As long as they are here, you will have to return to Qiuchi sooner or later. This is what Gao Gai does not want to see. He thought To establish myself as the Lord of Xiyan, I need a brave general like you. If I predict correctly, killing your wife and children and then betrothing your daughter to you will be the best way to win over you. General Yang, I seem to remember , after you surrendered to Gaogai, he must have arranged for you to get close to his daughter many times."
Yang Ding gritted his teeth and slammed the fence, "That's it! If it hadn't been for General Murong's advice, I would have been kept in the dark! He is unkind and I am unjust. I will kill the old thief Gao Gai and take revenge. !”
Murong Yong smiled slightly, "It doesn't have to be like this. Outsiders don't know these things. If you kill Gao Gai, you will only be regarded as an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. It will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the future. Gao Gai has always wanted to stay in Guanzhong, but he will not leave Murong Chong." He will attack the Qiang people of the Yao clan of the Later Qin Dynasty and steal military rations, so that his words will have weight. You only need to give him a hard blow at the critical moment, which is the best revenge for him!"
Yang Ding laughed and saluted Murong Yong, "Thank you, General Murong, for your advice. I know what to do!"
