Chapter 52 Sixteen, wolf ambition

Zhai Shu, the leader of the Dingling clan 20 years ago, had defected to Qianyan who went south to attack Wei during the great chaos in the north, and their leader chose to return to the old master 20 years later.As soon as Zhai Bin and Murong Chui met, he persuaded him to become emperor. Murong Chui thought that Murong was still under Fu Jian's command at this time (after Fu Jian's defeat, Murong De, who failed to persuade Murong Chui, had come here in Xingyang to persuade his troops to retreat) Murong Wei killed Fu Jian and started an incident, but Murong Wei refused and followed Fu Jian back to Guanzhong), but he was still considered the emperor of Yan, and the emperor's seat should be reserved for him.

In the first month of the 20th year of Jianyuan in the former Qin Dynasty, Murong Chui withdrew eastward from the vicinity of Luoyang with the joint troops of Xianbei and Ding Ling. Xingyang City settled down.Murongde, Zhai Bin, Yu Wei and others insisted on making Murongchui emperor (speaking of which, Murongchui did buy a lot of people's hearts when he was in Qianyan and Qinqin). According to the story of Emperor Jin and Yuan, Murongchui called himself General, Governor, and King of Yan. This is the second time that the title of "Yan" appeared in the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms.At that time, Murong Chui only regarded the Yan Kingdom as the continuation of the former Yan, but his later development led him to become the founding king of this country. His country was called the Later Yan by later generations, and its fate was also astonishing The similarity was beyond his expectation.

At this time, Murong Nong, Murong Kai, Murong Shao and others who were still in Yecheng had been informed by Murong Chui. Murong Shao secretly went out of the city and stole a large number of good horses from Fu Pi in Puchi outside the city, waiting for Murong Nong and others. people. Murong Nong took the Xianbei people in the city and took advantage of the darkness, and slipped out of the city without Fu Pi's knowledge (Fu Pi was so stupid that even the Murong Brothers, who he was strictly guarding, would look down on him, it's really speechless.), and Murong Shao joined forces and fled to the Lieren area.

Fu Pi only knew that the Murong Nong brothers were no longer in the city when he was meeting the guests in Yecheng, and immediately ordered an investigation, only to find out the news that Murong Nong had reached Lieren. Murong Nong stayed at the home of Lu Li, a Wuhuan man. Lu Li prepared food for him, but Murong Nong smiled and refused to eat.Lu Li said to his wife: "Murong Nong is a noble man. My family is poor and there is nothing good for him to eat. What should I do?" His wife was understanding and told him: "Murong Nong has great ambitions, I'm afraid he didn't come here for food, he will definitely do something extraordinary, you have to be prepared."

As expected, Murong Nong said to Lu Li: "I plan to gather all kinds of soldiers and horses to revive Yan Kingdom, can you follow me?" The Wuhuan people originally belonged to the same Donghu as the Xianbei, so Lu Li immediately said: "My life and death are in the hands of you, General!" Murong Nong also dragged Zhang Xiang and Liu Da from Wuhuan, as well as the tribes of Xiongnu Tu, to revolt in Lieren. Murong Nong was promoted by the people as General Chijie and Hussar General, who supervised the Hebei military, and Murong Nong rewarded him For the soldiers who came to vote, the hearts of the people in Hebei were surging, and tens of thousands responded to Murong Nong and broke away from Qin's jurisdiction.

Feeling that the situation was not good, Fu Pi sent Fu Jian's general Shi Yue who stayed by his side to lead an army of more than 10,000 people to attack Murong Nong. When Murong Nong got the news that Shi Yuelai was attacking him, he said with a smile: "Shi Yue is also a man of wisdom and courage. Now he doesn't go to defend the Xianbei army in the south and comes to join them. He is afraid of my father and thinks that I am easy to bully. He must Have no defense, watch me use tricks to take him!" The tiger father has no dogs, and Murong Nong is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He didn't take the advice of his subordinates to stick to Lieren City, but only led an army to sneak out of the west of the city in the middle of the night, and assaulted the Shiyue camp. Steady, how can I respond in time when I am attacked?Poor Shi Yue had been a general beside Fu Jian for half his life, and unfortunately died in the battle.

Murong Nong destroyed Shiyue, sent his army southward, and joined Murong Chui who had come to attack Yecheng in the area of ​​Yecheng. Xianbei nobles from all over the country also led troops to Yecheng one after another.So far, the Yan army has assembled an army of about 300,000, and the responding people have gathered all over the Kanto region. The former Qin's strongholds in this area are only a few cities such as Yecheng guarded by Fu Pi and Luoyang guarded by Fu Hui.Fu Jian had to repay the debt for the generous treatment given to the Xianbei people back then. When it comes to repaying debts, it's really a profit. Before Fu Jian destroyed Yan, the power of the Xianbei people was basically in the Kanto.After destroying Yan, he moved many of Yan's palace nobles into the Guanzhong area, and instead planted a time bomb beside his pillow.

Murong Wei's younger brother, Murong Hong, was the chief historian of the Northern Region of the former Qin Dynasty. When he heard that Murong Chui was attacking Yecheng, he thought it was time to make a fortune in troubled times, so he fled from the Northern Region to the Kanto and recruited thousands of Xianbei soldiers. .However, Kanto has been controlled by Murong Chui, and he returned to Huayin in Guanzhong, defeated the former Qin general Qiang Yong, and his power gradually grew.This Murong Hong was just a little king in the former Yan Dynasty, but now he also claims to be the king of Jibei, who supervises the military of Shaanxi, and Murong Chui is promoted as the prime minister, and supervises the military of eastern Shaanxi.Hey, he and Murong Chui came to be on an equal footing, it seems that they meant to rule the world together.

Only then did Fu Jian in Chang'an City realize that the Xianbei people were not only returning to the country, but also digging out his old den. He said to Quan Yi: "I won't listen to you and let the Xianbei people do this. I don't want the land of Kanto." If you rob them again, how will Murong Hong deal with it?" Quan Yi replied: "The thieves can't last long. Murong Chui is causing chaos in the Guandong area. We have no time to take care of it. But Murong and his clan are gathered in the area of ​​the capital. If it is not handled well, it will cause serious trouble. We should send strong generals to attack. "

Fu Jian sent Fu Xi to guard Puban, and Fu Rui as the governor, leading the left general Dou Chong and Long Xiang general Yao Chang to attack Murong Hong.Fu Jian demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, and the more he repaired, the more confused he became. Murong Chong (the former emperor's younger brother of Murong Wei) who was then the prefect of Pingyang also went out of Pingyang to attack Puban. Go and attack Murong Chong. After all, Murong Hong was no better than Murong Chui. When he heard that the Qin soldiers were coming to attack, he panicked and prepared to lead the generals to flee back to the Kanto.His opponent, Fu Rui, was even more reckless and underestimated the enemy, so he wanted to lead his troops to chase him.

The scheming Yao Chang remonstrated Fu Rui bitterly, saying: "Xianbei people have their own minds, and they just took advantage of the situation to let him go. If you go after him, you will inevitably be bitten by him. If you fail, it will be too late to regret it!" Fu Rui thought that he was stronger than Murong Hong, so he ignored Yao Chang, fought Murong Hong, was defeated and killed.Yao Chang sent someone to apologize to Fu Jian, but Fu Jian lost his beloved son and became angry uncharacteristically, killing Yao Chang's envoy. Yao Chang was frightened now, and fled to the Qiang settlement in Mamu, Weibei.The famous local Qiang people Yin Wei, Yin Xiang, Pang Yan and others gathered Qiang tyrants, surrendered to Yao Chang, and elected him as the leader of the alliance.Yao Chang plucked up his courage and called himself the Great General, Great Shanyu, King of Qin for thousands of years, changed Yuan Baique, and established a post-Qin state. Fu Jian I treated others generously, but this time he was unforgiving, but he turned Yao Chang against him and made a big mistake. This is probably "fate tricks people".Fu Jian's traitors are all ambitious, but this Yao Chang is even more so.Compared with Murong Chui, Yao Chang's back and forth actions are really not worthy of the title of a traitor.Although he also claimed to restore the country, his country had never existed before. His father Yao Yizhong failed to establish his own political power because he competed with Fu Hong for Guanzhong. The joint suppression with the Eastern Jin Dynasty finally lost his life.Yao Chang was reused by Fu Jian, and the power of the Qiang people continued to grow in Guanzhong (especially in the Weibei area).It can be said that his anti-Qin came from an unknown teacher, and he even repaid his kindness with revenge. It is the tragedy of that era that such a person can succeed.This kind of success did not only exist in that era, it is really thought-provoking.
