1392 Courage and greed
Although he succeeded in capturing the Great Thorn City, Murong Jun's mood did not improve in the slightest, but became worse, because the development of the situation was even worse than he imagined.
Murong Jun decided to pacify the east first, not only because Liaodong was the long-standing clan territory of their Murong tribe, but also because the opponent in this direction was easier to solve. Whether it was Lan Bo who was guarding the Great Thorn City, or Murong Jun and others in Liaodong, they didn't have enough confidence and strength to contend with themselves.
And sitting in Liaoxi is the general Mu Yugen and Murong Jun's brother Murong Zun. And because Liaoxi is close to Xu Wu, where the Youzhou army is located, there are more troops stationed there, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the headquarters of the Murong Department alone, plus the annexation of those tribal forces in Liaoxi, once the war starts, the troops owned by Murong Jun cannot occupy an absolute advantage.
Murong Jun's original idea was to first make it easy and then difficult, solve the Great Thorn City and Liaodong County, and then quickly fight back to Liaoxi, forcing Mu Yugen to surrender to him. In this way, he would be able to retain and inherit the power run by his father Murong Hao to the greatest extent.
But although the plan is good, once it is actually implemented, it will be difficult. First of all, here in the Great Thorn City, Lan Bo did not surrender as immediately as Murong Jun imagined, and although he resisted for a few days and finally handed over the city, he delayed the most precious time, so that Murong Jun could not rush into Liaodong in time.
Now that Murong Jun and others in Liaodong have become vigilant and have responded to it, colluding with Goguryeo and other external forces to try to secede Liaodong, it is obvious that it is difficult to solve this crisis without using troops.
This step was not achieved, and the direct consequence was that the current Murong part was split into three parts, except for Changli County, where the Great Thorn City controlled by Murong Jun, the Liaoxi and Liaodong on both sides were not under his control, so that he was now in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy.
Murong Jun also understands that his biggest disadvantage is that he has been charged with such a rebellious crime as killing his father, and a general like Lan Bo, even if it is just a superficial attitude, must resist a little, otherwise he will be despised. In the same way, this charge is also the biggest reason for opponents on the east and west sides to crusade against him.
Such a consequence, Murong Jun did not expect. But at that time, what could he do if he didn't do it? How terrible his father is, Murong Jun naturally knows that if he doesn't do it himself, the possibility of faking others and being able to succeed is very small.
Lan Bo bound himself out of the city and surrendered, although Murong Jun hated this general who disrupted his follow-up plan, he still had to force himself to hold Lan Bo, and said that the previous agreement was still accurate.
In addition to handing over the Great Thorn City, Murong Han and Murong Ba, who were imprisoned in the army by Lan Bo, also fell into the hands of Murong Jun.
For Murong Han, Murong Jun's heart is very complicated, he naturally knows that this uncle is strong, if he can faithfully assist him, it will be of great help to control the situation of the clan in the future.
But he also knew in his heart that this was impossible, even his father Murong Hao was very wary of this brother-in-law, lest he couldn't control it, he was a junior, and he was guilty of a big crime now, and he didn't dare to expect to be able to control Murong Han and his people.
Although he felt pity in his heart, Murong Jun still hinted at Lan Bo that he was unwilling to meet Murong Han and his people.
In his heart, Lamber actually didn't want to bear the name of killing the virtuous, so he only imprisoned Murong Han and did not kill him. But at the moment, he has no room for bargaining, and it is even more obvious that his resistance in the past few days has made Murong Jun very dissatisfied, if he wants to shirk it at this time, I am afraid that he will be martyred for Murong Han.
As a result, Lamb could only kill Murong Han in secret. Poor Murong Han, who is talented, brave and brave to fight, has been deeply valued by his father Murong Diao for a long time, and has repeatedly taken great responsibilities, but at first he did not tolerate Murong Hao, and was forced to flee from the clan, but he still cherished the clan and helped Murong Hao defeat the Duan clan, and finally inevitably died, ending this life of exile and incomparably sad.
As for Murong Ba, Murong Jun originally wanted to get rid of them all. He knew very well that this young brother might be reckless, but he did have the talent to use, and now that he had killed his father with his own hands, he no longer expected to be able to subdue Murong Ba for his own use.
But before he started, he had to consider Murong Zun in Liaoxi, and at the moment Liaoxi had not made it clear that he wanted to crusade against him, but if he killed his father first, and then tortured and killed his brothers, he would inevitably lose even more morality, and it would make him lose the reputation of the tribe.
Of course, the current Murong Jun is actually not much hopeful. In order to redeem the current disadvantage of being attacked by the enemy, he must find a greater moral help, and he also realized that he had not controlled the envoys of the Jin Kingdom in the first place, which was indeed a big miscalculation!
"Quickly return to Zimengchuan, no matter what, you must invite the envoy of the Jin Kingdom to the Great Thorn City!"
The first thing after entering the city, Murong Jun summoned Murong Biao and commanded. In the current situation, he has already found himself in the predicament of being attacked on his back, and if he does not have the moral support of the Jin State, the situation will become even more sinister.
But the next development of events made Murong Jun truly understand what it means to be a poor move and fall behind step by step.
Before the envoys he sent to greet the Jin envoys arrived at Zimengchuan, they learned that the direction of Zimengchuan had changed again.
Duan Lan, the remnant of the Duan clan who originally retreated to Yangle in western Liaoning, sent troops directly into Zimengchuan, and joined forces with Murong Jiang and others who stayed in Zimengchuan, broke through the troops that Murong Jun stayed in prison, and followed Wen Fang, the envoy of the Jin State, and went straight to the Tuhe River in the southwest.
"Yang Hu misunderstands me!"
After learning the news, Murong Jun was already shocked, and couldn't help but scold. At present, he is suffering from the enemy on his back and is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and the only thing he can count on is that the Jin State can express his support for him, so that he can receive moral assistance.
However, because of Yang Hu's persuasion before, and because he was also eager to return to the Great Thorn City at that time, he failed to recapture the Jin envoy from Murong Jiang and others, and as a result, the Jin envoy was completely out of his control.
And Yang Ju, who was scolded by Murong Jun, was really repentant at this time, and he didn't want Murong Jun to contact the envoy of the Jin Kingdom too early because of some personal calculations, but the situation took a turn for the worse and he was completely out of the expected track.
At present, Yang Hu no longer needs to think about how to obtain the living space between the Murong Department and the Jin State in the future, with the Jin State envoys out of their control, the biggest crisis in front of them at the moment is to avoid becoming the abandoned son of the Jin State as much as possible.
The current situation in Liaodi, with Murong Jun's sudden attack and murder of the monarch's father, can no longer be regarded as a whole, and has been divided into three parts. And these three forces have good reasons to win the support of the Jin envoys, and it is still unpredictable which side the Jin envoys choose to support.
"What about now?"
Although Murong Jun was already full of resentment towards Yang Crane in his heart at the moment, he really had no other person to discuss at the moment, so he could only summon Yang Que again to discuss countermeasures.
"The only way to do this is to go to the envoy of the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible. The lord had to take a risk because of the previous king's betrayal of righteousness, in order to return to righteousness and enter the unification, and the Jin Kingdom should not be indifferent! ”
Yang Hu was also a little out of idea at this time, and he deeply felt a sense of powerlessness that the general situation was not under control and he was coerced.
"Reasonable? Ha, it's reasonable."
Hearing Yang Ju's answer, Murong Jun just sneered a few times, although he didn't say anything, the dissatisfaction between his eyebrows was overflowing. In such a world, what is reasonable?
"Then please ask Changshi to quickly cross the Tuhe River to meet the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, I don't have to say anything, I guess Changshi also knows that this trip is very important. If you can't achieve a satisfactory result, then there is no need to rush back in the long history! ”
Murong Jun was not a very patient person, and seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, the anger in his chest could not be concealed. was forced to be in a hurry, he even dared to kill his own father, how could he put Yang Yu in his eyes.
When Yang Ju heard this, his expression also changed, knowing that this time it was indeed self-defeating and self-defeating, Murong Jun had already made it very clear that if he couldn't get the support of the Jin Kingdom, it was true that his life would not be guaranteed, but before he died, he would definitely drag the Yang family to be martyred!
At this moment, Yang Ju didn't care about Murong Jun's rudeness, and after receiving the order, he invited several leaders of the Liaobian people, and Murong Jun sent troops to escort them to chase them in the direction where the envoy of the Jin State left. As for the families of these people, they naturally didn't have to think about being taken hostage by Murong Jun.
As for Wen Fangzhi and others at this time, they were in a different mood. After leaving the prison in Zimengchuan, although they were not completely safe, as long as no major changes occurred, they were far away from the scourge of killing.
In fact, as early as when Murong Jun succeeded in killing his father, Wen Fangzhi's safety was already guaranteed. The previously set strategy turned out to be successful, and Wen Fangzhi, Liu Qun and others were overjoyed. They also made a decision immediately and began to persuade Murong Jiang, Murong Ping and others.
Murong Jiang's father, Murong Yun, is still holding the stage hostage, and Murong Ping, as Murong Diao's young son, has always been greedy and contemptible, and he is the most profit-oriented, so it is not difficult to convince these two. They also immediately said that they would do their best to protect Wen Fangzhi and the others from being harassed by the tribal civil strife.
But if this alone is still not enough, Wen Fangzhi and the others don't know what kind of means Yang Jun used to encourage Murong Jun to kill his father, but he even dares to do such a rebellious thing, it is conceivable that Murong Jun must also be a cruel and cunning person who is not inferior to his father. Therefore, if they did not leave Zimengchuan for a day, they could not completely feel at ease for a day.
It has to be said that Liu Qun is very accurate in observing people, even at this moment, Murong Jiang and the others only promised to protect their personal safety, but they did not dare to follow them to leave Zimengchuan and get out of Murong Jun's control.
Wen Fangzhidu was curious about what was going on in the minds of these idiots, no matter how they behaved before or after, they could be said to be unstable factors within the Murong Ministry, no matter who was in charge of the clan, they would inevitably attack them to eliminate hidden dangers.
In other words, once Murong Jun stabilizes the internal situation, he will definitely attack Murong Jiang and the others next, Wen Fangzhi and they can save their lives, but they will not be free, but Murong Jiang and the others will definitely have a slim future.
But these guys have obviously shown their inner restlessness, but they are extremely timid at the critical moment, which is really difficult to plan. For the stupidity of these people, Wen Fangzhi and the others really have no good way, but they can't help but regret that they can't take advantage of this opportunity to the extreme.
"Bai Lu is born in this rebellion, it is really a rare opportunity, but if there can be thousands of pawns under the account, you can also take advantage of this good time to redivide Liaobian!"
Wen Fangzhi sighed regretfully, although according to their current situation, it was already a great achievement to be able to get rid of Murong Hao with the help of force, but who would think that the credit was too great?
Now that he has a very deep understanding of the situation in Liaobian, if he can make the most of this opportunity, he is absolutely confident that he will abolish the Murong Department and make it no longer a problem for China.
When Liu Qun heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "The kid is too greedy, Murong Wannian's dignified Liaobian overlord has been ruined by your treachery, and there is no shortage of delusions in this situation at present, especially not satisfied?" ”
Wen Fangzhi laughed out loud after hearing this: "If you don't have the ambition of the tiger wolf, how can you induce these tiger and wolf thieves to eat each other and fatten themselves?" The rivers and seas are not calm, how dare you think of self-sufficiency? The thieves are rampant, and it is a disaster for the world, but if we are strong and self-motivated, if there are no thieves to be slaughtered, where can we show the handsomeness of our bravery? Lian Po is still old and can eat, and his cousin Yu Lie still exists, so he should still be brave and greedy! ”
Hearing Wen Fangzhi say this, Liu Qun was also quite moved, during the period of dependence on each other in the past, he also listened to Wen Fangzhi talk about many brave deeds on the stage, and there was no commotion in his heart, and he wanted to donate himself. But thinking of his own embarrassment, he still sighed a little depressedly: "A handful of old bones may not be able to enter the high eye." ”
"When my cousin said this, he still underestimated the general. The greatness of the general, the general trend of the world can be measured calmly, how can you miss your old bones. I'm afraid that the general will weigh you, and you still have to be accurate to your self-esteem. ”
After getting acquainted, the conversation became casual, and Wen Fangzhi joked with a smile.
After Liu Qun heard this, he just smiled and didn't say much, of course, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of person was that General Shen in Xingtai, who could make Wen Hongzu, a rare young and virtuous person, respect him so much?
Not to mention the joy or disappointment of these people, Duan Bu Duan Lan's arrival was definitely another unexpected joy.
Previously, they plotted against Murong Hao, and they still had to gamble with their lives, and the chips in their hands were incalculable, and they couldn't attract these people who couldn't afford to make a profit. What's more, although Murong Jiang and the others were obsessed with small profits and confused about big things, they would definitely not help them contact Duan Bu's feud.
Duan Lan's arrival not only helped Wen Fangzhi and others get out of trouble completely, but also brought even greater good news, that is, the two thousand soldiers of the Xingtai Wang Division had set foot in Liao and were on their way to join the division. And Duan Lan sent troops so naturally, he also received the instructions of the king master of this way, so he decided to invest again.
Not long ago, Wen Fangzhi also lamented that there was no one available in his hands, and after learning this news, he was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
The death of a mere Murong Hao could not let him relieve the bitterness of being repeatedly controlled by others before, and now he finally had the power that he could trust and use, and finally waited for him to come to the fore and make a big deal in Liaobian, not just playing conspiracy behind his back.
