Murong Chao opened his eyes wide, and Gongsun Wulou on the other side said: "Your Majesty, this person is called the envoy, but he must be here to inquire about the truth of our army. He must not be allowed to see our army's military secrets. Please kill him." kill."
Murong Beide smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. The strength of our army is already here. It's okay to let him see it. This person came here and said he brought a message from Liu Yu. I am interested in hearing it. Come and summon him. The envoy came forward and asked him to come holding the Zouyu flag. Everyone, remember, this Zouyu is an auspicious beast. In the eyes of the Han people, it is used to cease war and symbolize peace. In the future, we will conquer the Han world. To govern the Han people, you must have a minimum of respect for their etiquette and customs."
All the generals saluted and promised, Duan Hui turned around and walked down the hillside. Soon, he led Liu Zhong forward. Liu Zhong walked with his head held high. Under the gaze of a group of fierce and murderous Xianbei generals, Duan Hui looked calm until Murong Only ten steps in front of Beide did he stop and salute: "Foreign envoy Liu Zhong, I have met the king."
Gongsun Wulou said angrily: "How dare you, this is my Emperor, Your Majesty, and you actually only call me King. Do you not want to live anymore?"
Liu Zhong smiled slightly: "There are no two sons in the sky. Everyone knows that Zhengtong is in our Jin Dynasty, and the jade seal is also in our Jin Dynasty. Even if the king is in the Murong family, there are two self-reliant kings. If I call you the emperor, then What should I call the person from Liaodong?"
Murong Beide waved his hand: "Okay, let's not engage in these verbal disputes. Since ancient times, the emperor has been the emperor with strong soldiers and horses. Not to mention me, even Huan Xuan of Jingzhou can let you, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, abdicate and wait for me to win. Now that you have Jiankang, you will probably change your name for me."
Liu Zhong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, my general in charge of the army said that although the world is in troubled times and strength dominates, this humble status has long been determined by heaven and cannot be changed by force without human power, just like Huan Xuan, who can commit treachery for a while. The conspiracy, but will eventually be overthrown by the loyal people of the Jin Dynasty. In the troubled times, the king kept the people of Qilu safe, which was a contribution to the country and the world. The Murong family was a minister of the Jin Dynasty in this life. Although in the troubled times, You are arrogant, but you will taste the bitter consequences. The king is a sensible person and will not understand this. If he had respected the emperor early, how could he have taken the position of king and entrusted the land with the territory? "
Murong Beide laughed: "You are a young general. You are not very old, but you are very eloquent. You are a bit like your Liu Zhenjun. However, you cannot conquer the world just by talking. Now you have seen our army. , how much strength you have, you also know that even if Liu Yu can fight again, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Facing my army of millions, what can he use to resist? "
Liu Zhong said calmly: "My general said that when soldiers come, we will block it, and when water comes, the soil will flood us. Every mountain and river in the Jin Dynasty is our strong army. Fu Jian once didn't believe this. He wanted to try it. What's the result? Your Majesty finally It couldn’t be more clear.”
Murong Chao couldn't hold himself back anymore and cursed loudly: "What an arrogant envoy, you actually compared the ruined waste of the country to my father. I will kill you now, and then lead the troops to destroy Liu Yu. I see your mountains and rivers What a river can do!”
Murong Beide waved his hand and stopped Murong Chao who was about to step forward: "Okay, the two countries are at war. Bu Zhan is here to envoy. Your name is Liu Zhong, right? I heard Alan say that you are worthy of being a commander in the Beifu Army. A rising star, but your ancestral home is in Qidi. When Qin went south, your home seemed to have been destroyed, and you even went north to Qidi to join your uncle. How about you, are you interested in coming to me and using your talents to make contributions? , glory and wealth are not out of the question.”
Liu Zhong shook his head: "I am the envoy of Jin. My family is all in Jin. I will not betray my motherland. Although Zhong is not talented, he made an oath when he was born. He will follow the best military strategists in the world in this life. If the king wants to get Me, at least I have to convince my boss first before I can change my mind."
Murong Beide smiled and said: "I will send my troops south to make you change your mind."
Liu Zhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my commander asked me to bring you a message this time. He is now waiting for you in front of Muling Pass in the north of Daxian Mountain. If your Majesty is interested, you can go there for a while."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. Many Xianbei generals shouted: "What, Liu Yu dares to come to Mulingguan? Your Majesty, I will capture him!"
"Your Majesty, don't be careless, Liu Yu must have set up an ambush to harm you!"
"Father, let me go meet this Liu Yu. You must not go into danger alone."
Murong Beide stared at Liu Zhong: "Your commander-in-chief, do you want to imitate Emperor Qin's approach to King Huai of Chu and rob the alliance in front of the pass? Humph, these hundreds of thousands of my troops are not just decorations. Don't forget, His wife is still in my hands."
Liu Zhong smiled slightly: "Before coming, my commander-in-chief said that the king is a hero of all time. Back then, Murong Chui dared to discuss the world with the commander-in-chief alone. This time it involves major events between the two countries, involving hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people. How can such important matters as the life and death of thousands of people be decided by his subordinates? Therefore, the commander-in-chief believes that the king will definitely go there in person. If anything happens to the king, Nanyan will definitely attack with a huge army, and its hatred is unstoppable. The commander-in-chief has acted with integrity throughout his life, so why has he ever used such despicable means as robbing an alliance?"
Gongsun Wulou gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, don't fall for this person's provocation. Liu Yu must have been prepared for it. It's too dangerous for you to go there in such a hurry."
Murong Beide smiled and looked at Duan Hui aside: "General Duan, what do you think?"
Duan Hui hesitated for a moment and said: "Muling Pass is a natural barrier in the north of Daxian Mountain. It is said that if one man is in charge of the pass, ten thousand men can't pass it. However, it is not easy to break out. If it really involves military and national affairs, your Majesty will be needed." The master is in charge, Qian Gang is the one who can drive to the pass, and the general will personally lead the elite warriors to escort him. It is expected that Liu Yu will not be able to hurt your majesty. As long as he does not enter his city, the general will have the confidence to protect your majesty."
Murong Chao stamped his foot: "Duan Hui, if Liu Yu shoots an arrow and hurts my father, can you shoulder this responsibility?"
Murong Beide waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. If I don't even have the courage to go to Muling Pass for a while, why would I need to go to Muling Pass to conquer it myself? General Duan, you go and prepare for the meeting now. , half an hour later, we set off. After I leave, the Tiger Talisman will be in charge of Prince Murong Chao. If I don't come back before dark today, it will be up to the Prince to decide whether to fight or retreat, and all generals must obey orders."
All the generals agreed in unison, and Liu Zhongshen and his party bowed: "Your Majesty's magnanimity is truly extraordinary. I admire you greatly."
Murong Beide walked long and strode forward: "Let's go, lead the way. I want to meet my good brother-in-law whom I haven't seen for many years!"
