1391 The aftermath is turbulent
On the Zimeng River, the chaos did not last long, and after Murong led more than 2,000 people back to the camp, even with the cooperation of Yang Hu and others, he controlled some of the descendants of his father Murong, so that they had no chance to incite the soldiers to rebel.
After nightfall, the inside and outside of the Zimengchuan camp were still in flames, and except for Murong's soldiers patrolling inside and outside, no one else was allowed to wander outside at this time.
After Murong returned to the camp, he did not enter Murong's original tent, but stayed in his original tent, where all the people from the tribe who were close to him or supported his coup d'Γ©tat were concentrated.
"At present, inside and outside the Zimengchuan camp, more than 13,000 people are gathered, and after the reorganization, there are about 9,000 soldiers. In addition, if all things in Dragon City are stopped, there will be more than 17,000 pawns. The battalion has more than 3,600 pairs of armor and more than 14,000 grains......"
Yang Que flipped through the book and reported to Murong one by one.
Murong listened carefully to the content of Yang He's report, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Yang Hu didn't support him this time, he wouldn't dare to trade like this. Then launched. The strength of these Jin people represented by the Yang clan is not reflected in the control of the armor soldiers, but in the various infiltration and control of human and material resources.
Only when these people show their support for themselves can Murong be able to take over the various reserves of the clan in the shortest possible time and to the greatest extent.
Of course, at the moment, not all the people in the tent are like Yang Hu, who can react so quickly, and then express their allegiance to Murong. The change happened so quickly that many people still can't believe that Murong is dead.
In particular, some courtiers personally promoted by Murong and selected, such as Han Shou, Wang Yu, Song Huang and others, directly expressed their disdain for Murong's evil deeds of killing his father. In addition to their loyalty to Murong, the old lord, it is also because Murong's rebellious behavior greatly violates their values.
In fact, if there was no way, Murong really didn't want to deal with his father with his own hands. He naturally knew in his heart that no matter what the reason, or what kind of rhetoric was used to cover it up, this kind of behavior would become a stain on his life.
"The Jin Kingdom has been the suzerain for a long time, and my ancestors have been honored for generations. Hateful, treacherous, cunning, strong coercion, and seductive position, my father lost control and succumbed to the thief. Father's kindness and filial piety, although it is human ethics and justice, but it is the righteousness of the world to keep the right and ward off the evil, respect the king and punish the evil. Although I came out of the land around me, but I have been a model in the world for a long time, such as Huijiao, loyalty and loyalty are not inferior to Chinese scholars, this time I endure the pain and return to righteousness, take the big and give up the small, I, I ......"
Speaking of this, Murong was already choked up, couldn't speak, and cried sadly.
"Your Highness is loyal and loyal, we know it very well, otherwise we will not obsessively follow ......"
Yang Hu opened his mouth to comfort him, but Murong raised his head again to interrupt his words, and said: "All kinds of royal systems are all tyranny imposed by thieves, and they must not be held again. Ling Zongguo Ambassador Wen Hongzu and others, don't slack off, don't frighten them because of the disturbance and noise in our department. β
In fact, as early as when he returned to the camp, Murong wanted to see Wen Fangzhi and the others. The biggest excuse for him to kill his father was that Murong betrayed the southern kingdom and took refuge in the kingdom of Jin, which was a great loss to morality, so he naturally wanted to get the approval of the envoy of the Jin Kingdom at the first time.
But at the moment, the envoys of the Jin State are still under the control of Murong Jiang and others, and it is not smooth to go to negotiate.
In addition, Yang Hu was also advising him that it was not suitable for the current tribe to contact the envoy of the Jin State so early in this great change, and Murong should at least show some control over the tribe as a whole, so that he could gain more initiative when the envoy of the Jin State negotiated.
Once the envoys of the Jin Kingdom show too much influence in this process, then it is very likely that Murong will gradually become a puppet of the Jin State in the future.
Yang Que advised Murong like this, naturally he also had his own selfish intentions. He knew very well in his heart that such a civil strife in the Murong Department was something that the envoys of the Jin State were happy to see, and they must also hope to take advantage of this to continue to increase their infiltration and influence on the Liaobian.
But Yang Hu was scheming and taking a lot of risks to promote the current situation, so naturally he didn't want Wen Fangzhi, Liu Qun and others to come out to pick peaches. He had to establish such a situation that he could communicate between the two before Murong and Wen Fangzhi could actually have contact.
Although Murong can make decisions in the face of major events, after all, his experience is still shallow, and he has to rely on Yang Hu at the moment, so he followed Yang Hu's advice and did not rush to control Wen Fangzhi and the others.
Killing Murong is only the beginning, as for whether Murong can really obtain his father's power, or whether he can inherit a few points, it depends on the development of events after that, and the attitude of those powerful factions scattered outside at the moment.
The successful beheading of Zimeng Chuan is just the beginning, and what Murong needs to solve at the moment is Mu Yugen in Liaoxi, the tribal forces that stayed in Dajiao City and far away in Liaodong. As for Murong Jiang, Murong Ping and others, who were also on the Zimeng River, they were blindly hugging the thighs of the Jin Kingdom at this time, but they did not directly have any clear reaction to this, so they could be ignored for the time being.
Of these forces that need to be solved, the one that Murong puts in the first place is the Great Thorn City.
One is that the Great Thorn City has been the ruling center of the Murong Department for a long time, and the unification of the hearts of the people of the clan is far from comparable to the Dragon City that is still under construction. If he couldn't master the Great Thorn City, then Murong could be said to have failed half of this attack. Second, the Great Thorn City is also the closest to Zimengchuan, and it can be returned in more than two days by fast horse.
The Great Thorn City is currently guarded by the generals Lan Bo and Fengchang Pei Kai, with more than 5,000 guards. Although Lan Bo was about to become the Taishou of Liaodong, it was one of the reasons that directly induced Murong to decide to kill his father.
But now the situation is different, earlier Murong was afraid of this because he was worried that his father Murong would take advantage of his absence in the country to support his brothers and then threaten him, but now his goal is to become the new overlord of Liaodi.
Of course, the premise is that Lamb will not be so confused as to support Murong's other sons to resist Murong. As long as there is no such conflict of fundamental positions, Murong still hopes to be able to bring Lamb under his command.
And Lamb has been doing it for many years, and I believe that he will not make such a low-level mistake, although Murong has such a rebellious evil act as killing his father, but the actual situation at the moment is that among Murong's sons, there is really no one who can have the power to resist Murong.
Of course, Murong Ba is not good, he is just a young man who has emerged in recent years among his sons, mainly because of Murong's love, and he has not won the widespread support of his subordinates.
As for Fengchang Pei Kai, he is a civil servant and has no position as a soldier, and Yang Hu also promised that he would come forward and say that Pei Kai should not resist.
Therefore, Murong is still relatively confident in returning to the Great Thorn City. The only variable he was worried about was his uncle Murong Han, who was currently staying in the Great Thorn City. Murong Han and his people, even his father Murong was very wary of him when he was alive, and if he stood up against Murong at this time, it would definitely bring him very big trouble.
Because it was the next two days, Murong quickly integrated the forces around Zimengchuan with the assistance of Yang Hu, Murong Biao and others, and after eliminating some unstable factors, he collected a total of more than 30,000 troops and returned to the Great Thorn City.
At the same time, on the way, Murong sent an envoy to communicate with the guard general Lan Bo, allowing him to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong, promising that all the affairs of the east would be entrusted, and the condition was only for Lan Bo to kill Murong Han.
At this time, in the Great Thorn City, the changes that happened in Zimengchuan were only vague, and the details were not known. Murong suddenly attacked, and with the full cooperation of Yang Que and the others, only a few scattered soldiers wandered back to the Great Thorn City, these people themselves are rare to keep secrets, and what they can say is only some hearsay, which is chaotic.
So the current Great Thorn City doesn't know how to deal with it at all. However, Murong Ba, who had not arrived in the Great Thorn City for a long time, soon heard the news of the riot, fearing that his father's safety would be in danger, and even though he wanted to lead his troops back to Zimengchuan, he was stopped by Lan Bo.
"The king was repatriated to Pingliao and had his own appointment. At the moment, it is just a group of miscellaneous words, and it is not yet known what the situation of the Great Thorn City is. Ah Lang returned hastily, and the blessings and misfortunes were unpredictable......"
Lamb's persuasion, Murong Ba couldn't listen: "If my father is safe in Zimengchuan, why is there such a riot in the wild?" I will lead my troops back, and if there is really chaos, I will do my best to rescue my father, and if everything is well, it will be nothing more than a disobedience. The general is stopping me at this time, which is definitely not a good voice! β
Lan Bo has been fighting for a long time, and his ability to observe the situation is far beyond the reach of Murong Ba. He naturally knew in his heart that now that the country was in a good situation, and the king's momentum was also extremely high, and there was no need to make more speculations when a riot broke out in the wilderness, and a great change would inevitably occur. He forcibly prevented Murong Ba from returning, just because he didn't want this young man who was more or less related to him to die innocently.
Murong Ba was impatient, and how could he listen to Lan Bo's advice. In the end, Lambo simply detained him directly in the camp, on the one hand, ordered martial law in the whole city, and on the other hand, notified the Liaodong side to prepare for contingencies.
This chaos did not last long, and soon Murong's envoy arrived in the Great Thorn City, and after knowing that Murong was dead and Murong had set the conditions, Lan Bo couldn't help but scold: "He Lai is a thief, he killed his father and disrupted the country, and he also wanted to lure me with power, drive me from a thief, and treat me Lam Bo as a thief!" β
He directly drove Murong's envoy away from the Great Thorn City, and drove the people outside the city into the city, putting on a stubborn posture of resistance.
But this does not mean that he is blindly loyal to Murong to avenge Murong, if he really has this thought, the best response at the moment should be to ask Murong Han to come forward to preside over the Great Thorn City, and at the same time push Murong Ba out and then call on the people of Liaodong to calm the chaos.
But in such a treacherous turmoil, only the present is where the destiny lies, once Murong Han is released, with his long-standing reputation, it is easy to override Lamber. Once he loses the initiative, no matter what the future situation goes, Lamb can only be coerced by the general trend and cannot be independent.
Therefore, while guarding the whole city, he completely controlled Murong Han and imprisoned him in the army, preventing his people from having any contact with the outside world.
Murong's army arrived quickly, and as soon as they arrived in the Great Thorn City, they captured the outer city, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded the inner city of the Great Thorn City. At the same time, Yang Que and others who accompanied the army also actively contacted the flow of Jin people in the city, and in the next two or three days, there were several cases of people fleeing from the city in Dajian City, including Fengchang Pei Kai.
The flight of these people had limited impact on the defense of Great Thorn City, but the damage to people's hearts was enormous. What made Lan Bo feel that the situation was out of control was that after learning of the changes in the country, Murong Jun and others in Liaodong were not in a hurry to return to help him, but instead called themselves Pingzhou Assassin Shi and Liaodong Gong, and attracted Goguryeo, Buyeo and other national forces, intending to repeat the situation of Murong Ren in Liaodong.
In desperation, Lamb could only lead the crowd to surrender, so that Murong could enter the Great Thorn City.
At the same time, a fleet of ships set out from Le'an, Qingzhou, and landed at Mashijin, and 2,000 Wang Shijia soldiers from Xingtai officially set foot on the land of Liaodong.
