Murong Bao curled up his lips: "But, Ah Lin is obviously rebellious. He will certainly punish his father when he returns home. Even if he has some military merit, he cannot atone for his crime."
Murong De sighed: "Anyway, this is not the first time he has betrayed the emperor's brother. He has reported on your father before, which almost caused your father's death. But your father's great cause needs a capable person, and Murong Lin is The only person who had the ability to fight off these prairie barbarians back then was enough to guard the north with this alone. I can make it clear to you this time. As long as your father is still alive, I am sure that I can control him. Before he dies, he will help you solve this problem with your own hands. Don't worry. If there is not enough evidence at this time and kills or captures Murong Lin, his army will inevitably change. Even if he can suppress it, Murong Nong will be killed in the future. Murong Long and the others will also be in danger, so let your father decide on all this. As long as you can bring the army back safely this time, it will be a great achievement!"
Murong Bao gritted his teeth: "But when I came back to the grassland, my father ordered me to eliminate Tuoba Si. Now that the task has not been completed, how can I go back? The credit for conquering the Yinshan Khan Court goes to Alin, while the other defeats The various units in Monan were not done by me alone, they were the results of the scattered armies. Uncle De Emperor, I know you have always supported me, so please help me."
Murong De smiled slightly: "Prince, don't worry, I support you not because Uncle De has watched you grow up and is partial to you, but because the position of the Crown Prince is a rightful one, and you should inherit it without any major fault. Otherwise, , everyone is trying to rob it, there will never be peace, and when misfortune arises, foreign enemies will definitely take advantage of the situation. This is the history of blood and tears of our Murong family for decades and hundreds of years. Therefore, Uncle De has obeyed the emperor's holy order this time. To ensure your interests this time, if you can't defeat the enemy now, then as long as the whole army returns, you will be the biggest contributor, and those small achievements are nothing."
Murong Bao's expression softened a little, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Then everything will be arranged by Emperor Laude. Anong and Alon, please also make arrangements for them."
Murong De nodded: "Everything will be taken care of by your Uncle De."
By the river, at the Yan army camp, several princes in gorgeous armor, who were also the commanders of each army, stood together. Their respective entourages were sent far away from each other. At this delicate moment, who could I don't want outsiders to hear the conversations between these princes.
Murong Lin squatted alone by the river with a gloomy face. He looked at the Northern Wei sergeants who were lining up and shouting loudly on the other side of the river. His hands gradually clenched into fists and he murmured: "It's a pity that I missed one day that day." Little bit, otherwise, Tuoba Gui’s head should have been hanging here long ago!”
Murong Nong said coldly: "So you can't get the credit, so you want to rebel and stand on your own? Ah Lin, after so many years, you are still stubborn!"
Murong Lin gritted his teeth. The relationship between Murong Nong and him had always been the most tense. It was also because Murong Nong had been in Liaodong for a long time, and he had been intimidating the grassland. He was equivalent to the two major generals, and they were both born from side chambers. The concubine has almost the same chance of seizing the crown prince. Therefore, apart from the prince, these two are the most fiercely competing. Just now in the commander's tent, it was Murong Nong who tried his best to get rid of himself.
Murong Lin looked at Murong Nong and sneered: "Even the prince and Uncle De Emperor have not convicted me. Who do you think you are, Anong, that you can directly accuse me of treason? I haven't said that Mu Yusong was instigated by you. Here! His clan brother should also be a personal guard under your account."
Murong Nong's expression changed and he was about to step forward. Murong Long and Murong Shao on one side quickly hugged the two brothers whose eyes were about to spit out fire and separated them to prevent the two from fighting here. He stood up and showed a joke to Wei Jun opposite him.
Murong Nong said bitterly: "Even if you didn't rebel, you have always been making your own plans. Do you think we don't know your little thoughts? You just want to take credit, and taking credit is just for the sake of Seize the throne!"
Murong Lin sneered and said: "It's as if you don't have such thoughts. Anong, you robbed the most in Monan, but as soon as you heard about the possibility of crossing the river to defeat Tuoba Gui, you threw away so many prisoners, cattle and sheep Come down, come on light cavalry, don't you want to cross the Yellow River and march into the Loop? And you, Alon, originally you should have divided your troops to defend the grain road behind, but when you saw Anon running so fast, you couldn't even do this yourself We no longer have military stations, and now we have completely lost contact with the rear. Isn’t it your responsibility to allow these Wei dogs to spread rumors and curse my father?”
Murong Shao sighed: "Okay, okay, dear brothers, please stop fighting at this time, okay? Uncle De Emperor has said that in the face of a formidable enemy, put aside any selfish motives or conflicts you have, and put them aside first. Let’s go back to Dayan. At this time, we need to unite rather than quarrel.”
Murong Nong gritted his teeth: "Everyone understands the truth, but it is another matter to do it. When attacking, it is like the wind, and when it is retreating, it is like the fire. Everyone does this, and in the end they can only finish together. Wei Jun is here Their mobility far exceeds that of our army, and if they catch up, they will be in trouble."
Murong Lin laughed: "Anong, Anong, you don't want to be left behind. You even dare to say such things. It's not like we don't know the strength of the Wei army. If they really dare to fight us head-on, why run away?" Here, relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to hold on? It is difficult for us, but it is even more difficult for them. In the newly conquered land of Hetao, human relations have not been restored, and so many defeated Monan tribes have poured into the Hetao to snatch resources. It is winter now, and it is a cow. There are few sheep but a large population. If we continue to persist here, the enemy army will be in chaos in just two months!"
"At that time, it is not us who have to cross the river, but the Wei army on the opposite side who has to fight us decisively and open the passage back to Monan. What we should do now is not to retreat, but to open up contact with the rear as soon as possible and restore contact with our father. Please send the emperor's message and ask him to send more reinforcements and mobilize food and fodder for us to continue fighting on the front line!"
Murong Long murmured: "Alin is right. It is difficult for us, and it is even more difficult for the other side. Tuobagui now has to balance the relationship between the Monan tribes and the Hetao tribes, which is not so easy. Maybe, we can insist on one more Yue, it is a better choice to wait and see the situation."
Murong Shao sighed: "But behind Tuoba Gui, there is Hou Qin. Now that Guanzhong has been pacified, Hou Qin originally sent 20,000 reinforcements to support Tuoba Gui. It was only because of Yao Chang's death that they withdrew their troops during the national mourning period. , but even though the soldiers have retreated, food and grass can still be brought in. This winter, Tuoba Gui may not be able to survive."
