Chapter 126: Seeing Victory (End)
Murong Longcheng's snorting and panting voice was so heavy, as if there was a bellows running in the big tent: "Brother Taizhen might as well explain it." ”
Wen Qiao calmly looked at Murong Longcheng: "Brother Longcheng, what I said was all from the bottom of my heart, and with my brother's wisdom and wisdom, I naturally made a judgment." I am not a descendant of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and I have no intention of taking advantage of my tongue; If the mind is clear, why use more words to pretend? ”
After speaking, he lowered his eyes and sat down, unwilling to speak again.
Wen Qiao really didn't need to say anything. For the situation in northern Xinjiang, Murong Longcheng knows enough and calculates deeply enough, where the people of Changshan go is not what Wen Qiao can do, and the decision is only in the hands of Murong Longcheng.
So Murong Longcheng fell silent again. He steadied himself and walked back and forth a few steps, slowly gathering his thoughts.
The struggle for the throne of the Hu people in northern Xinjiang has always been the most bloody and tragic. The so-called "killing those who are higher than the wheels" is the norm, and the loser is often faced with the severance of the bloodline of the entire clan. Since Murong Nai died in battle, the rest of the troops fled thousands of miles, and they were able to hide in Changshan after escaping Murong Diao's pursuit countless times, and the sadness and desolation in it are simply indescribable. And Murong Longcheng has been working hard in Changshan since he became an adult, and all he can see is a ferocious and greedy wolf. Even if you take a wrong step, you will immediately fall into the wolf's kiss and become food for your stomach!
The strength of Murong Nai's old department may still be strong in Daijun, but it is actually insignificant among the strong clans in the northern frontier. was able to barely gain a foothold, relying on Murong Longcheng to follow Duan Xianbei as if he were on the edge of the abyss, walking on thin ice, and fully demonstrating his value in battle after battle.
Since the first year of Tai'an, the three powerful clans of Eastern Xianbei, Murong, Yuwen and Duanbu, have maintained a delicate balance. On the surface, the leaders of the three major tribes intermarried with each other and made peace with each other, but secretly the small actions never stopped, resulting in huge casualties every year. The Liaoxi Public Section did not contain Murong Longcheng and his subordinates, and sent them to raid and kill everywhere, in order to cause chaos to the Murong clan in Liaodong.
Duan relied on the remnants of Murong Nai to weaken the Murong clan, and at the same time suppressed the hostile forces in various parts of northern Xinjiang; And Murong Longcheng relied on the protection of Duan Xianbei to hide in Changshan. This seems to be a win-win situation for each to take what they need, but Duan Xianbei is just using Murong Longcheng and his subordinates as tools. If this continues, when will he be able to take back the position of Murong Xianbei Dashan Yu, which belongs to him?
Murong Longcheng, who was the heir of Murong Xianbei's predecessor, was not willing to serve as the leader of the bandits for a long time. But what annoyed him was that among the various departments of Changshan Bandits, there were many who were closely related to the Duan Division. Murong Longcheng, the big boss, seems to be majestic, but in fact, everything is restricted. For example, Yang Feixiang, Tu Jili and the like, they clearly offered him as a clay sculpture and wooden tire. Although Murong Longcheng used fierce and brutal means to intimidate the Changshan group, he did not dare to attack the leaders of the Changshan tribes who were also supported by the Duan Division, and in the face of this situation of being controlled by others, he had no way out.
It wasn't until the end of the month that the soldiers and horses of the Assassin History Department entered Youzhou and quickly defeated many local forces in Daijun. When Murong Longcheng was about to organize forces to fight back, Lu Guan's envoy took the initiative to find Chang Shan.
Since the death of Yiyu, the leaders of the Eastern and Western Divisions of Tuoba Xianbei have all intended to be in the position of Da Danyu, and they have confronted each other with tension. In comparison, the methods of the Eastern Lord Lu are more sophisticated and sophisticated, and they have the upper hand everywhere. In this Danhan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony, the Luguan has already made the decision to complete his work in one battle, and he will never allow China and North Korea to interfere in the process and cause waves.
This time, the Lu official sent an envoy to come, and the request was very simple, it was nothing more than to prevent Wen Qiao from going to Danhan Mountain to participate in the Tuoba Xianbei Sacrifice Ceremony, and to prevent the troops of the Bingzhou Assassin History Department from gaining a foothold in Dai County; And the conditions he put forward simply moved Murong Longcheng: he supported Murong Longcheng to completely unify the forces of Daidi, and promised to support him as the leader of Murong Xianbei in the future.
Of course, Murong Longcheng knew how big the gap was between his strength and Tuoba Xianbei. Tuoba Xianbei is facing off in the east and west, even if it is obviously in the weak west, its tribal lord Yilu can send more than 30,000 elite cavalry south to aid the annexation state, not to mention the eastern lord Luguan who occupies thousands of miles of desert? That's like an ant compared to a tiger. Since the Lu official spoke, he could not be objected to by Murong Longcheng. He could only try to make a plan and implement it.
Everything should have gone smoothly, the Wuhuan people, the Zahu horse thieves, the Han Wubi, and the Changshan thieves who were inclined to the Duan Department, these people, under the deliberate connivance and drive of Murong Longcheng, would exhaust the strength of the Jin people. And after the cavalry of the Luguan Department destroyed the Jin army, it should be left with Murong Longcheng as an easy-to-control Dai County.
However, when the dust settled, Wen Qiao provided him with another new path!
Obviously, Liu Kun, who was in Jinyang, was an aggressive Fangzhen official, and while fighting against the Xiongnu, he was also willing to make bold moves to interfere in the affairs of the Hu people in northern Xinjiang. This was something that Murong Longcheng had never thought of in advance, but it seemed to be a better choice than taking refuge in Luguan.
Murong Longcheng has always regarded himself very highly, and he couldn't help but think: that Tuoba Yilu is just good at fighting, and there is no shortage of warriors who can fight in Murong Clan. Yilu was able to gain Liu Kun's support with his military exploits and compete with the powerful Lu officials. Can't I directly rely on the imperial court to seek a position in Murong Xianbei?
He thought again: After all, Liu Yueshi is a Jin person, and he will never be able to directly govern the Hu people in northern Xinjiang. He will only adopt the means of restraint and cohesion, relying on Lord Qu Shuai, who is close to the imperial court, to control the situation in the north, which is also leaving himself a lot of opportunities to exert himself, and he can take this opportunity to expand his power, which seems to be more advantageous than relying on the Lu official who eats people and does not spit out bones.
But, but ...... After thinking about it, Murong Longcheng had countless thoughts in his heart that instantly turned around, so that the sweat on his forehead was dripping without realizing it: the power of Luguan was so strong, it was very likely that he would take the opportunity of this heaven sacrifice ceremony to ascend to the throne of Tuoba Xianbei Da Dan Yu in one fell swoop. At that time, Yilu will inevitably lose power, and may even be wiped out. Once the Lu official investigates today's matter, after all, Jinyang is far away and the water is close to the fire, how can the people of Changshan protect themselves?
Murong Longcheng had always thought that Fortitude was by no means under anyone, but now, he felt that he was even a little flustered. Many thoughts were repeated again and again, like a jumble of tangle, and he tried to straighten them out, dissect the reasonable parts and weigh them, but his thoughts involuntarily became more and more confused.
He paced back and forth, and every time he approached the front of the tabernacle, he heard the sound of fighting; A few steps away from the door of the tabernacle, the fighting became quieter. He looked up, and outside the tent, the smoke and dust caused by the galloping of men and horses and killing almost enveloped the entire battlefield.
As far as Murong Longcheng's line of sight could see, the two armies were still shouting a fierce battle. However, two hours of fighting were enough to exhaust the last bit of physical strength of the warrior, and even the gallop of the war horse was not as fast as before. The battlefield instinct honed by countless births and deaths told him that the time for victory or defeat had arrived. If you have a choice, you must act now, too late.
Murong Longcheng subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to help his groggy forehead. This action made the attendant kneeling in the corner of the big tent misunderstand. The attendant hurriedly knelt forward and held the dragon sparrow ring aloft. When the white velvet wrapped in the long knife was withdrawn, a ray of sunlight shining in from outside the tent happened to hit the blade, and the azure sword suddenly reflected into his eyes, almost taking Murong Longcheng by surprise. He showed an unhappy look, and almost reprimanded the attendant angrily, but he was stunned, and still took the knife in his hand.
Even through the finely wound linen cloth on the hilt, you can still feel the chill of the blade. Murong Longcheng held it tightly, pushing harder and harder until his five fingers turned white.
He turned to look at Wen Qiao. After an instant, it was restored to the fierce and violent Murong Dragon City.
