Murong Nong sneered: "Since Alin wants to stay and watch what happens, then you can stay here as a defender. We will return home as soon as possible, and then we will definitely send reinforcements and food and grass to help you. In this way, you will be exhausted." The credit of Wei is yours, yours, yours, and no one will compete with you!"
Murong Lin's expression changed, and when he was about to speak, he only heard the sound of drumming and general gathering coming from the commander's tent. He glared at Murong Nong hatefully and said in a deep voice: "King of Western Liaoning (Murong Lin) (the prince), I would like to see where you will be during the military meeting later."
His eyes swept over Murong Long and Murong Shao who were silent on the side: "There are also two His Highnesses, King Gaoyang (Murong Long) and King Chenliu (Murong Shao, he is Murong Chui's nephew). I also want to Let’s see if you can be the vanguard and get back to Yecheng first to know about my father’s situation.”
As he spoke, he waved his cloak and walked straight towards the handsome tent.
Murong Shao curled up his lips, watched him go away, and sighed: "Actually, maybe what he said makes sense. Staying and observing for a while would be better in terms of military tactics. Even if you want to retreat, it is best to While confronting, we must divide our forces and evacuate, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Wei army crosses the Yellow River without anyone guarding it."
Murong Nong shook his head: "Alin has always had different intentions in front of the bright people, but we brothers are not willing to fall behind others and enter Yecheng. No matter whether the nonsense Wei Jun shouts all day long is true or false, Everyone wants to be the first to return to Dayan and Yecheng. Therefore, no matter whether it is a defender, a flank or a vanguard, it cannot be monopolized by one person. Everyone must take turns, so that there will be no objections. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"
Murong Long nodded: "What Anon said makes sense. Only in this way can we convince everyone. It is a fact that Murong Lin's men rebelled. It is also appropriate to let him serve as a rear guard. No matter how much he supports him, he will not be able to win." As for really colluding with the Wei army to destroy our brothers, even if we want to seize power, we should seize a powerful Yan state. We should still have this little trust in him."
Murong Shao smiled and said: "Yes, he wants to be the king of the grassland, so just let him stay on the grassland. If we can let him be a guard this time and have more blood feud with Tuoba Gui, he will probably want to collude with these grassland barbarians in the future. It's impossible. As for us, we should take turns being the two wings and the vanguard. The prince, as the commander-in-chief, should be in the middle. By alternating cover in this way, we can return to Dayan safely. In any case, as long as the army is there, we can come back at any time. "
Murong Nong walked towards the tent: "Then it's settled. Remember, if we want to unite our mouths, we must have Murong Lin in the rear. Otherwise, this kid will definitely do some tricks and run away first. It will be difficult for us to catch him again." .”
In the big tent, Murong Bao looked at the silent Murong Lin and said: "Your Highness, King Zhao, your troops have fought with the grassland people many times, and you are familiar with their deployment and tactics. This time the army is withdrawing, you are needed as a rear guard. , do you have any opinion on this?"
Murong Lin said in a deep voice: "The army has traveled thousands of miles to reach the Yellow River. It was hard-won. Why should we give up so easily? If my father really died, then the Wei army would like the news to come as soon as possible, so why would they interrupt us? Where is the messenger? Wouldn't it be better to let him report the news? Therefore, the father must be in good health. We just need to continue to spend time here. The other side is more difficult than us. In addition to more than 200,000 troops, they also have millions The people need to be fed. After this winter, even with the food aid from Hou Qin, it is impossible to last too long. At this time, we can grit our teeth and persevere. At the worst, send some troops to Monan to let those newly surrendered The tribe provides supplies to last for three months, no problem.”
Murong De said coldly: "The purpose of our return to the grassland is to seize the Khan's court and attack the Northern Wei Dynasty. We did not say that we must destroy them. We just warned them to send troops to support Murong Yong. Now our purpose has been achieved, and the emperor brother's He must be in bad health, otherwise, he would have gone on a personal expedition long ago. Now that so many days have passed without any reinforcements or food, it is obvious that His Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition. As brothers and nephews, what you should do now is Go back early and fulfill your filial piety at the knees of your father, instead of dragging on in this war with almost no chance of winning just to get some credit."
Murong Lin gritted his teeth: "I believe that if my father were here now, he would definitely not withdraw and would definitely continue to fight. This is what he did in Yecheng!"
Murong Nong sneered and said: "My father is in Yecheng to lure the Jin army across the river, and then wipe it out in one fell swoop. It is to encircle the points for reinforcements. It's not that he really can't conquer a small Yecheng. How do you look down on my father's military talent?" ?! Now you are the only one here who wants to continue fighting, and I don’t want to accompany you anymore. If you want to continue to persist, you can continue to fight here alone with your 20,000 troops. I was still in the river just now If you are on the side, we can be with you in spirit and leave you some more cattle and sheep here. Don’t worry, it will be enough for you to last three months!”
Murong Lin said sternly: "Don't you just want to go back and seize the throne? Do you need to be so anxious? My father is still here. If he knows what happened today, look at what he will do to you!"
Murong Nong smiled slightly: "I am not the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and I will not lead my troops to do their own thing. I will obey the military orders of His Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle De Emperor."
Murong Long and Murong Shao also performed military salutes at the same time: "I would like to obey the military orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the German Emperor!"
When Murong Lin saw that the situation was like this, he could not change it, so he could only salute and say: "I am willing to obey the military orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle De Emperor!"
Murong Bao nodded with satisfaction. This was the first time since he sent out troops that his four eyes were higher than his head and his brother, who was eyeing his position as the crown prince, was willing to be so obedient. He said in a deep voice: "This commander-in-chief. There is an order for the entire army to set off tonight and return to Dayan, leaving not a single soldier on the grassland. In order to ensure the marching order of the army, Murong Lin and his 20,000 soldiers and horses served as the rear guard of the entire army, thirty miles away from the central army. , in case the Wei army attacks."
Murong Lin had known this result, so he could only say helplessly: "It's an order!"
Murong Bao continued: "My commander and Uncle De Huang's troops totaled 40,000 people. As the central army, they marched thirty miles in front of Murong Lin's army. Once the Wei army arrived, they would be the first to return to reinforce Zhao. King. In addition, King Murong Nong of Western Liao and King Murong Long of Gaoyang each led their troops of 10,000 people and divided them into the left and right wings of the central army, with a distance of twenty miles. Their marching speed should be as fast as the central army. Murong Shao, king of Chenliu, led The baggage troops and their subordinates have 5,000 people, totaling 15,000 people. As the vanguard, the daily march speed is fifty miles. Dobu scouts and sentries control the intelligence within a hundred miles. If any troops behind are abandoned, they will rush forward. If you do this, military law will be engaged!"
