Let’s say that after Yan Chengwu Emperor Murong Chui blamed Xiyan for his beloved son Murongxi Chang’an’s disappearance for no reason, the two Yans lost peace. moon.

On the Tongguan battlefield on the east front, Tuobagui defeated Zhai Bin's Dingling army, immediately beheaded Dingling Wang Zhaibin, and even took advantage of the situation to occupy Chilechuan, which was isolated in the north of the Great Wall.

On the Luohe battlefield on the south line, Ren Zhen and Yang Ding led the elite cavalry to fight Houyan Muronglin for dozens of days. Finally, with the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west and luring the enemy to go deep, they burned Xuchang, Houyan's granary in Henan, forcing Muronglin to lead the army. The Ministry moved north to break through the siege, and finally occupied Luoyang and Nanyang counties, and expanded the territory of Xiyan to the south to the bank of the Han River, facing Xiangyang, Jingzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty across the river.

On the battlefield of Xiaoguan on the northern line, although the 8-strong coalition forces of Houyan and Beiliang are menacing, Xiaoguan has been precipitous since ancient times, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many internal conflicts in the coalition forces—the wishful thinking of Prince Murong Bao of Houyan is to make Ju Qu Mengxun's Northern Liang cavalry was ahead of the fortifications, exhausting the vital strength of the Yan army and reaping the benefits by himself; but Juqu Mengxun originally thought that he just wanted to use the power of the Later Yan army to seize Xiaoguan, expand the territory of Beiliang eastward and infiltrate Guanzhong, where will he get what he wants?

At this moment, King Fu Jian of Liang sent troops to attack Zhangye. Juqu Mengxun was shocked when he heard the news. On the occasion of the reduction, he went out to counterattack, and Murong Bao, who had killed him, fled eastward. Murong Yong was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue him, but suddenly received an edict from Chang'an, ordering him to return to Chang'an immediately.

Murong Yong had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the capital. He went straight into the palace indignantly, and asked Yao Song, "Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops when you see that the victory is imminent!"

It was October, and it was late autumn in Guanzhong. Yao Song suffered from a seasonal illness and was leaning on the couch obsessed with this memorial. At this moment, he slowly raised his head and looked at Murong Yong: "The main force of Houyan's army is not injured. There are only [-] officers and soldiers, if we really want to chase after them, the prince thinks we can win?"

Murong Yong was at a loss for words, he listened to Yao Song coughing several times before he recovered his breath, and continued: "Besides, the prince still obeyed his order to return to Master Chang'an even though he was unwilling, he must know that I have other deep meanings."

When Murong Yong saw this, he made a cup of hot water and handed it to Yao Song, but he grabbed his wrist unexpectedly.Yao Song approached him and said word by word in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Tuoba Gui intends to treason."

No matter how calm Murong Yong was, he couldn't help trembling slightly when he heard the words, the water in the cup splashed his hand, but he didn't realize it, and asked in a low voice: "...Really?"

Yao Song knew that he didn't believe him, he had only met Tuobagui when he was in Guzang before, he was silent all day long, but he was inseparable from Ren Zhen and loyal, if he was said to be a traitor, no one would believe him, otherwise How could he hand over the most important defense line of Tongguan and tens of thousands of Huben soldiers to guard against Houyan?He pushed the latest battle report towards Murong Yong, and whispered: "Ren Zhen desperately pushed Murong Lin back in Henan, and forced him to flee to the northeast, cross the Yellow River and return to Zhongshan. Bagui dispatched troops to the south to intercept the remnant soldiers and capture Muronglin alive. This would be a great victory—but just now, when the report was received, Tuobagui's troops were unable to respond in time, and Muronglin's troops broke through the encirclement and left..."

"You mean that Tuoba Gui secretly communicated with Murong Chui? But he won a complete victory in the previous Tongguan battle and even—" Murong Yong suddenly fell silent, his thick eyebrows twitched, and he also realized that Tuoba Gui even did it without the court's permission. He took advantage of the victory and occupied Chilechuan.The five barbarians on the Chile River are the old lands of the former Dai Kingdom, and even the capital Shengle of that year is among them.

Yao Song shook solemnly and said, "I'm still not sure whether he secretly took refuge in Murong Chui or simply wanted to make himself king!" He stared at Murong Yong, and marched Yueqian Tuoba Gui towards Chang'an, Later, he was caught by his suspicion of the soldiers and turned back halfway and told him: "I am afraid that Chang'an will be empty, and I will not be able to rely on it for long. This is why you will not be chased by the poor. Return to Beijing as soon as possible to sit in town. With you and [-] elite cavalry soldiers in your hands." In Beijing, no one dares to take Chang'an's idea lightly. It must be known that the Houyan will not be destroyed in a short while, if it is a disease of the elbow and armpit, then Tuobagui is a serious problem!"

Murong Yong took a silent breath: "What do you want?"

Yao Song gritted his teeth and said, "This person can't be kept, it's better to strike first."

Murong Yong shook his head and said concisely: "It's difficult."

Tuobagui now holds a large army and has not shown signs of rebellion. The most important thing is that Ren Zhen is definitely reluctant to part with this wolf cub he single-handedly raised-he will never believe that Tuobagui will rebel.

Yao Song said coldly: "It's all about human effort. Don't forget Wang Meng's 'golden sword trick' back then!"

Murong Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yao Song thoughtfully, and said again when he saw him: "Zi Jun hopes to get the help of the prince—no matter how much you and I fight, in the final analysis, it is only for him, and Tuobagui's wolfish ambitions will bring disaster to the country sooner or later, we must not stay! He is our number one enemy!"

Murong Yong was silent for a long time before he stretched out his hand and held Yao Song's cold right hand: "We are happy to cooperate."

The first battle between the two Yans came to an end with the victory of the Western Yan. Although the main force of the Hou Yan was still there, his vitality was seriously injured. Although Murong Chui was furious in Zhongshan City, he was temporarily unable to counterattack.At the end of the same year, Ren Zhen also returned to the court with Yang Ding's class teacher, and Yao Song and Murong Yong jointly led the civil and military officials to welcome them out of the suburbs of Beijing ten miles away.

Ren Zhen was exhausted from months of conquests, and when he saw his two lovers from a distance, he instantly dissipated, his whole body was itchy, and he wished he could run over and throw himself on the two of them for a kiss.

However, the reality is cruel. Amid the sound of Huang Zhong Da Lu's brilliant ceremony and music, Yao Song and Murong Yong looked solemn, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, proclaiming to the world that it has been an hour since all kinds of etiquette were done. later.Ren Zhen, with a stiff body, sore back, cramped legs, boarded Long Yu and entered the city with a full face, looking left and right at the two serious and expressionless gatekeepers in front of him, he had no choice but to extinguish all the pink bubbles that had been floating in his mind for a long time, obediently He continues to play the role of a majestic emperor who returns home in triumph.

After the celebration banquet, Yang Ding asked Ren Zhen to resign, and Yao Song still wanted to stay, but Yang Ding said that now Fu Jian wants to unify Liangzhou and is using troops against Beiliang, and Juqu Mengxun is also good at commanding troops, and now he is desperately fighting for the corner Recalcitrant, the outcome is uncertain, he had to rush back to Guzang.

When Ren Zhen heard the word "Fu Jian", he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen carefully, just in time to meet Murong Yong's eyes, he smiled bemusedly, and quickly lowered his head to drink.

Yao Song had no choice but to do so, so he began to make preparations for the relief materials and hand them over to Yang Ding, because he also knew that it was because of Fu Jian's attack on Zhangye that Juqu Mengxun retreated and returned to help. The alliance finally saved Xiao Guan from the danger - he certainly hoped that Fu Jian could unify Liangzhou as soon as possible, and Liangzhou would be stable only if the rear was settled. No matter how Xiyan formed an alliance with Houliang, it was really the best strategy.

Murong never paid any attention to these common affairs, got up and left the table when their discussion was in full swing, walked through the flowers and willows all the way, through layers of palaces, he stopped when no one was there, but he didn't look back. Appeared, hugged him from behind, buried his chin in his neck and rubbed back and forth: "Shu Ming~"

Murong Yong slightly turned his head to look at him, Ren Zhen raised his head at the right time, their lips brushed lightly, and they broke up instantly.

"Ah! I accidentally bumped into it~" Ren Zhen stretched out the tip of his tongue and gently traced the line of his lips, "Does it hurt?"

Murong Yong couldn't do anything about his mean look, he reached out his hand helplessly to hold his head, leaned over and kissed him hard.The two entangled their lips and tongues, after a long while, Murong Yong suddenly raised his head and let go, his heart beating like a drum.Ren Zhen also had shortness of breath, but he refused to let Murong Yong go, wrapped his hands around and bit him again, this time Murong Yong touched the tip of Ren Zhen's nose, gasped and said, "Enough."

Ren Zhen smiled and said, "Understand, let's leave the rest until the dead of night, just you and me—"

Murong Yong took a step back and said expressionlessly: "Master Shang Shuling may have a lot to say to the emperor tonight, the good night is short, the emperor should please come back first."

Ren Zhen was slammed and rolled back in despair.Seeing that Yao Song was the only one in the Jinhua Hall who was still writing at the desk, he tiptoed over, and just wanted to take advantage of the unsuspecting nephrite jade and warm fragrance to hug his arms, Yao Song said without raising his head: "Before the two Yans fought, Hou Liang drew his sword to help , we can't treat them poorly, how much do you think is the appropriate amount of war supplies to aid Liang?"

Ren Zhen sat down cross-legged in embarrassment, and played with his fingers lonely: "It's just what I use, the more the better."

Yao Song nodded, no more words, and continued to write. After half an hour, he let out a long sigh, put down the pen and raised his head.Ren Zhen immediately served hot butter tea, and the dog's tail swept back and forth: "Zi Jun has worked hard~"

Yao Song was not afraid of being disobedient and presumptuous. He really took the tea served by the emperor himself and drank half of it in one go. to help."

Ren Zhen didn't dare to express his breath, "Then...who are we going to send?"

Yao Song said calmly: "I know you want to go. Now that Murong Chui has suffered such a big loss, he won't fight again in a short time, and Chang'an is fine for the time being, so it's okay for you to go."

Ren Zhen shuddered subconsciously, swallowed his saliva, and was about to speak when Yao Song took the lead and said, "It's just that it will take some time to raise supplies, and you have to personally award the meritorious soldiers in Beijing!" Okay. For example, Tuobagui, although he was a step late and failed to capture Muronglin, he defeated Zhai Bin's army and captured Chilechuan. Our territory has expanded by more than [-]%, so we should give it a lot of praise to motivate the army It is."

Ren Zhen dared to go against his wishes, so he naturally agreed with him completely.Yao Song nodded in satisfaction, picked up a pile of documents on the case and got up: "Then the emperor can go to bed, and the minister will leave."

Ren Zhen's face turned green: "Wait, wait a minute, where are you going?" Yao Song raised his eyebrows, and said as it should be: "Discuss with the King of Hedong and General Yang how many troops should be brought with you~ "

Yao Song drifted away, leaving the lonely and pitiful Ren Zhen alone to bite the corner of the quilt: Nima, I was still worrying about which one to accompany first so as not to cause another twists and turns, but now that I think about it, I was worrying too much ——

Yao Song and Murong Yong met at the gate of the palace, they cupped their hands in the distance, and said, "My lord."

Murong Yong raised his eyebrows in return: "Master Yao."

Yao Song approached with a smile: "I just want to discuss important matters with the prince."

Murong Yong happily said: "This king also wants to invite Mr. Yao to spend the night at the mansion."

Yao Song said modestly, "Then it's disrespectful."

Murong Yong raised his hand sideways: "Master Yao, please."

The two left the palace hand in hand.

Yao Song thought in his heart: I can tell from your small appearance at the table that you want to hook up with Murong Yong, and you want to see Fu Jian even if you want to, I won't let you settle for second best!

Murong Yong thought in his heart: Hearing about Fu Jian, he was out of his mind, and he was still distracted by Yao Song. If he is so uncertain, I will tell you not to touch any of them!

In the dormitory, a resentful husband who was abandoned and kept alone in the empty boudoir was still complaining and complaining to Yue for some unknown reason.

And no matter how Ren Zhen "guards the empty boudoir alone" and "dissatisfied with desires", what should be done is still going on as usual.A decree of reward soon arrived at Tongguan, Yanyun Tuobagui was the first to defeat the enemy, and the second to open the border. It's just one step away.After reading the imperial decree, Tuobagui just smiled and put it behind him. He didn't return to Beijing to thank him as usual, but sent Mu Chong back to Chang'an to receive the printed ribbon dress on his behalf.

Mu Chong returned to Beijing on behalf of Tuobagui to be enshrined, and because he made the most contribution in the battle of Tongguan, he received great courtesy.Even Ren Zhen hosted a banquet in person to welcome the wind, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so dazed at the beginning, but I didn't expect that you are really a tiger - I heard that you beheaded the head of Dingling Wang Zhai Bin yourself? This kind of merit should be rewarded to a leading general!" Mu Chong was still listening in a daze, Yao Song, who was accompanying the banquet, quickly pushed him lightly, and reminded him with a chuckle, "Don't thank you yet?" Mu Chongcai When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly fell to the ground to thank him.

After the banquet, Yao Song, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, personally took his hand and walked side by side with him, and warmly invited him to the house for a drink—Mu Chong has been in the army for many years, how has he ever met Yao Song? Song Zhilan Yushu is so handsome and handsome, if she smiles and whispers to make friends, who will not fall in love?What's more, Tuoba Gui had long been jealous and wary of Yao Song, but Mu Chong was simple-minded, and had never seen all kinds of methods used by this man to kill without blood, so how could he be wary?Before the third patrol, he was already drunk and forgetting himself, Yao Song was still persuading him with a smile: "General Mu Chong was awarded the third rank at a young age, isn't he more powerful than General Yang Dingyang, the god of war in the army? "

Mu Chong drank with his neck back, and said with his tongue out, "Lord Yao was not there that year, so I don't know about it! Everyone thinks that Yang Ding is very good. I, I, I even fought against him in the martial arts competition - within a hundred moves. Even if it's a tie! If there hadn't been an accident, he wouldn't have won the first prize back then!"

Yao Song asked with a smile: "Oh? Then I really am ignorant, please tell the general." Mu Chong talked about the events of the year in a rough manner, but only said that Tuobagui was willing to die in order to save him. When he was punishing himself, his eyes turned red: "I was just a rough martial artist at the time, everyone despised me, only my elder brother was willing to look at me differently, promote me, and make me use him again. Without him, how could I, Mu Chong, be where I am today! In this life, I, Mu Chong, am the only brother of my elder brother. Fate is obedience!"

He has always been open-minded, and he doesn't want Ren Zhen to be the only master he needs to be loyal to in name, but Yao Song pretends not to know and sighs, and sincerely said: "In today's world, the same family is fighting each other, and you and General Tuoba are brothers of different races." But I can take it with all my heart—but when I was in Beijing in the past, I only heard that General Tuoba's most trusted confidant was He Lanjun, and he was the deputy commander of the three armies, and he always relied on him when discussing everything..."

Mu Chong slapped the table, and the remaining wine splashed everywhere: "It's nothing! This kid He Lanjun just has a lot of tricks, how can he compare to the friendship between me and my brother for many years! If you don't believe me, look at this half-queen jade talisman—— Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he took off the jade ornaments around his waist and threw them on the table, "It's a token of worship!" Yao Song said intentionally, "The quality of this jade is only mediocre."

Mu Chong stared and said: "This jade talisman looks ordinary, but it is divided into two parts. Brother and I each hold one half. If the jade talisman fits the siege, but there is no order to mobilize the three armies in an emergency—does He Lanjun have one?"

Yao Song was really amazed, and finally ordered someone to hold out a brocade box, as soon as he opened it, he felt that the precious light was shining brightly.He pushed the brocade box in front of Mu Chong, and said sincerely: "Zi Jun has always admired young heroes, and he also wants to become brothers with different surnames with the general. I don't know if the general is willing to recognize me as an elder brother?" Choked to death, he looked up at Yao Song in shock—who in the court knew that Yao Zijun was deeply favored by the emperor, and even the prince Murong Yong didn't pay much attention to him on weekdays, so he condescended to be with him Martial arts?Before he could think about it, he grasped Yao Song's wrist with his hands and feet before his brain: "Really?"

"Brother Mu!" Yao Song held his hand tightly, hitting the railway while it was hot, "Brother is willing to exchange this jade talisman with this imperial tribute jade as a token, just to carve a general seal for you Xi, in order to congratulate and pay homage to the general, can you?"

Mu Chong was fascinated by the jade, and Yao Song whispered in his ears - he is afraid that he will be the only one in the court if he deserves to be treated with such favor by the minister of the court!As soon as his mind was hot, he agreed in a daze with the alcohol.

Mu Chong has always been a very good drinker, and he didn't know what kind of strong alcohol he drank that night, but he barely woke up the next evening. After thinking about it, he collapsed on the bed and broke out in a cold sweat—he didn't know anything that day. He is a barbarian, and he also knows that no matter how friendly his elder brother treats him, he will definitely not tolerate him giving away the military talisman easily, so he has to ask Yao Song for the jade talisman with a shy face, but Yao Song returns the jade talisman without saying a word. On the one hand, he also sent the general's seal engraved by a famous artist overnight, and said with a smile: "I have heard that General Tuoba is very strict in governing the army. General Mu said so, how dare I force it to be difficult for the general? Of course Give it back with both hands. As for this general's seal - it was tailor-made for you, general, and it should belong to you."

Mu Chong was even more embarrassed by his spring-like rhetoric, he took the jade talisman and jade seal, and said embarrassingly: "How can this make..."

"Beautiful jade is supposed to be a hero, why not?" Yao Song said with a smile, "This is also a little bit of admiration for the general." Mu Chong said that his heart was full of elation, and he wished to show his heart and soul to this brother who had just beworn , Letting Yao Song take him around the capital to travel around the capital and visit visitors, he almost couldn't think of leaving.

At the same time, the resentful husband Ren Zhen who was squeezed out by Yao Song and Murong Yong also left the customs again with Yang Ding and rushed to Liangzhou.Before leaving, he shot those two people a sad look: "Do you have something to say to me?"

Murong Yong clasped his fists in a serious salute: "I wish the emperor good luck in this trip, and the flag will be a victory."

Yao Song clasped his hands in his sleeves, bowed sincerely and said, "I wish your majesty this trip will come true, and you will find someone you ask for."

Ren Zhen: "..."

He turned around and got on the horse with a full face - who said that the blessings of Qi people are easy to enjoy?Look at these words to run people.

Looking at Ren Zhen's back that was drifting away, the two of them unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but turned their heads to look at each other, but they both frowned slightly - they finally led Ren Zhen out of Chang'an City, Xiyan's actual military and political power It was already in the hands of the two, and the next step was to lead the snake out of the hole according to the original plan.

So a transfer order was quickly issued to Tongguan: Hussar general Tuobagui was transferred to guard Xiaoguan's defense line, Tongguan was handed over to general Murong Yong to garrison, and He Lanjun was appointed as Luoyang county guard, and he took up his post immediately.

Tuobagui was leaning on the white tiger skin couch with his hands on his head, closing his eyes and resting his mind, when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, kicked off the side of the couch, turned over, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable!"

He Lanjun closed Hongyin Yanran's transfer order beside him, and said cautiously: "Let the general go to Xiaoguan alone without troops and horses, and let Tongguan be handed over to Murong Yong—the foundation of the people who have worked hard for many years will be handed over to others. Didn’t they tell us to be married for nothing? At the same time, Mu Chong was detained in Beijing, and I was transferred to Luoyang, which had just returned to Luoyang. The elder uncle and grandson had to keep one of them in Tongguan as a civil servant, and let us go our separate ways. If it becomes popular, this move can be called dredging from the bottom of the pot."

"This kind of insidious trick, you can tell it was Yao Song's handwriting at a glance, and it was intended to break my arms." Tuobagui said coldly, "It's really...deceitful!"
