I'm not Murong Chong

Xie Xuan wiped off the blood on his forehead, took the water bag handed over by Yang Ping, raised his neck and drank it all, turned back on his horse, and pulled the reins: "The front army that just attacked the formation retreated, the rear army pressed up, and charged again close!"

Yang Ping quickly grabbed the stirrup and said anxiously: "Young Master has been fighting day and night, you can't go anymore!"

Xie Xuan pulled Yang Ping away and shouted: "On the battlefield, there is only the governor, no son!"

"Since the governor knows, why continue to fight?" A horse flew up behind him, and the man on the horse was also smothered by the wolves of the battlefield.He rolled off the saddle and stopped in front of Xie Xuan. Wang Xie's younger brother was the most handsome, but the treasure tree of the Xie family had long since lost its charm under the ravages of war day and night.Liu Yu looked at the smoky and exhausted Xie Xuan, and slowly knelt down: "We have been attacking Zhiguan for seven days in a row, and the Beifu army suffered heavy casualties. The general begged the governor to retreat!"

Xie Xuan looked at him condescendingly, with a burning pain in his throat—seeing the death and injury of Jiangdong's disciples, how could he remain indifferent?

Zhiguan, which rests on the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains, is the only land pass for Zhixian County of Yuzhou to enter Bingzhou Changzi. When Murong Chui stepped down from the wall, he surrounded the eldest son with heavy troops, and ordered Murong Nong to seize Zhiguan first. The footsteps of the Eastern Jin army rescue in the south of the county.

Murong Chui knew the importance of Zhiguan, and Xie Xuan and Liu Yu knew it even more, but he launched several tough battles in a row, but Murong Nong repelled them all.The heavy armored cavalry of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Hu tribe in the north, and there was absolutely no chance of winning with flesh and blood, but such a simple truth, he did not believe that Xie Xuan, who had been in charge of the army for more than ten years, would turn a deaf ear to it!

Xie Xuan finally said in a hoarse voice: "Xiyan... and the Eastern Jin Dynasty are friendly countries to each other, and they agreed to work together for the future Yan... Now that Emperor Yan is trapped, our army must not stand by and watch out of morality!"

Liu Yu was startled, as if he didn't expect that Xie Xuan would go his own way—the two countries formed an alliance because of their own interests, and now one side is in trouble, if it can be saved, that's all.He nodded, stood up, but raised his hand to hold Xie Xuan's horse rein: "The governor insists on going north to help Yan, and we can only obey the military orders, but the governor took the lead in charging into the battle and has not slept for several days. Rest for a while—the final general is willing to fight on your behalf!"

Liu Yu got the approval, and immediately put on his clothes and went into battle. Before leaving the camp, he recruited his own soldiers, and secretly handed over a secret letter sealed with wax paint to his cronies: "Send it to Liu Lao in Pengcheng as soon as possible, and explain the battle here!"

The confidant immediately took orders: "But you want General Liu to send more troops to help?"

Liu Yu didn't answer, but waved his hands back - Xie Xuan was already trapped in the mud, but the elite of the Beifu could not be destroyed along with it.Looking at the three armies, only Liu Laozhi can directly clarify the relationship with Sima Yuanxian-and eventually replace the coach.

Liu Yu, a young soldier who followed the commander-in-chief, naturally couldn't do this kind of trickery, so he had to give way to General Liu Laozhi, who had a high position and little power in the city, to do it for him.

All of a sudden, summer turned to autumn, and it had been nearly a month since Houyan's army had set up camp on the north bank of the Yellow River.After chasing for thousands of miles, seeing that kid Tuobagui escape to the other side but being beyond his reach, how could he be willing?But if you want to fight, how should you fight?Since the communication was cut off, Murong Chui has not heard a single word from Murong Chui - isn't there no general in the army who is good at fighting, but he can't shamelessly ask his uncle Fan Yang Wang Murong De or his younger brother Zhao Wang Murong Lin - He is the future emperor!The father is over seventy years old, and he is suffering from illnesses. This time he is the commander-in-chief, so that he can establish prestige in the army and make military exploits, so as to subdue such arrogant soldiers, so that he can succeed in succession smoothly in the future.

He didn't make a statement, Murong Lin and Murong De were also silent, as if they were watching with cold eyes how much ability the future emperor would have.

In the end, Murong Bao, who was alone in depth, didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and ordered to cross the river to attack.In this first battle, he wanted to go all out and win the first battle, but Murong Bao was afraid that he would lose troops in vain if he failed in the first battle, so he only sent hundreds of people across the river to grab the beach, wanting to find out the reality of the Tuoba army on the other side.Unexpectedly, just after the Yan army released their boats to cross the river, the direction of the sky changed suddenly, and the wind blew up. Dozens of warships were blown to the south bank of the Yellow River, and more than 300 Houyan soldiers were captured.

Unexpectedly, within a day, Tuobagui ordered the release of all these captives, but several soldiers of his own side infiltrated among these people, and spread rumors everywhere after returning, saying that he saw the former prisoner in Tuobagui's army. Houyan's envoy, who was captured by He Lanjun, categorically declared that Murong Chui was critically ill.The rumors were spread more and more by the soldiers who didn't know the truth. When the hearts of the soldiers were fluctuating, Tuobagui sent a boat into the river again, and on the way forced the Houyan messenger to shout to the camp on the other side——

"If the father is dead, why not return early!"

Murong Chui is the Xianbei God of War, a monument that will never fall in the hearts of Hou Yan's soldiers and people. This mere horoscope is like a hurricane, blowing out the anxiety, fear and panic in everyone's hearts.

Monk Tanmeng, the "National Teacher" who was ordered by Murongchui to accompany the army, felt the spreading ominous atmosphere and began to persuade the prince to retreat.Murong Bao was already dismissive of Samana Buddhism, and he also knew that Tan Meng and Murong Xi were on good terms, so he naturally refused to listen to his words and wasted all his previous efforts. Instead, he reprimanded: "The battle is imminent. A few pieces of unfavorable news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false will be withdrawn? Anyone who spreads such false rumors will be punished for disturbing the morale of the army!" He led an army of [-] to march out to meet the enemy. What is the face of completely defeating yourself and returning to Zhongshan to inherit the throne? !

Tan Meng had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but in the army, rumors continued.What's more serious is that among the [-] troops, there is more than one prince, Murong Bao, who calls Murong Chui "father".

Murong Bao's indecisiveness and waste of time in the military caused dissatisfaction among some generals in the army who were close to King Zhao. They thought that Murong Chui had really died, so they decided to mutiny before the battle, get rid of the prince, and elect Murong, king of Zhao. Lin is the next Emperor of Houyan.Later, when the plan was leaked, Murong Bao acted immediately and decisively executed all the generals and generals who participated in it.

After hearing the news, Murong Lin went to Murong Bao's handsome tent to plead guilty, crying bitterly, claiming that he didn't know anything about it, and that those subordinates made their own decisions.

Murong Bao looked at this younger brother expressionlessly—Murong Lin had always supported him, and he didn't take this younger brother who had long since fallen in love with his father a long time ago. He just wanted to use his power in the army to strengthen his own Just status.But how could he have forgotten?Murong Lin is cold by nature, he sold out his father and brother many times in the past for his own benefit, but now isn't the ninety-five supreme throne the heaviest benefit in the whole world?As long as besides himself, Murong Lin is also an adult prince, who would dare to deny it when he returned to Zhongshan with an army of [-]? !

He bowed to help Murong Lin and forced a smile: "Gudu has already interrogated him in detail, it is true that it was only those villains who committed trouble and wanted to support the meritorious service of the dragon. Since the fourth brother knew nothing in advance, how could Gu blame him? You and I are of the same heart, the most important thing is to win this battle—I don’t know the current situation, what does the fourth brother think about our army?"

Murong Lin wiped away his tears and said sincerely: "Your Highness is arbitrary and has plans long ago. His younger brother's qualifications are dull, but His Highness is the leader of the horse, and he dies. How dare he give orders?" Murong Lin has been in charge of the army for many years. How can you really not know where to go and can only obey orders?These words are naturally to let Murong Bao let go of his guard against him, but in fact he said in his heart: If you didn't take advantage of your background, how could it be your turn to take the position of heir?If you dare to kill all my trusted generals in one go, then let's see how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will win the battlefield without us!

Since then, the two brothers have had a rift in their hearts, and the old and prudent Fan Yang Wang Murong De is Murong Chui's younger brother.The two armies were in a stalemate across the Yellow River for more than a month. Murong Bao received a secret letter from Zhongshan. There was no signature on the crumpled and tattered letter paper, only two big words "return soon!" Murong Bao It was believed that the news was delivered by Feng Yi, who he stayed in Zhongshan. It seems that Murong Chui's critical illness is not groundless, and he may even have passed away!He also thought that Murong Lin, who was malicious around him, and the princes, large and small, in Zhongshan City were all bad people, so he hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind to withdraw the army and return to the country.

On October 25, Houyan's army burned all warships at night, and retreated quietly.Murong Bao's confidant general proposed to send troops to stop the rear, in case Tuoba Gui crossed the river to pursue him.

Murong Bao was eager to go back to Beijing, and he was afraid that he would be taken advantage of by others on the way to withdraw because he was short of troops, so he immediately refused: "Winter has not yet started, the Yellow River is only covered with ice but not frozen, and there are not enough Tuoba Gui warships, wait for him Cutting down wood to build boats, and crossing the Yellow River one after another, our army may have already reached Zhongshan!"

The Yan army then retreated aggressively, not even sending out a scout cavalry.However, after just seven days, the north wind came suddenly, and the Yellow River was frozen ahead of schedule!Tuobagui led the crowd to the river, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Murong's death!" Immediately, he mobilized [-] elite cavalry to cross the river on horseback. Moreover, the Yellow River had just frozen over, and the ice was too thin for heavy armored cavalry to cross the river, so it was better to wait a few more days.

After hearing this, Tuobagui turned to Juqu Mengxun: "What do you think?"

Mengxun laughed, and flew on his horse: "I am a desperate man with nothing, if the general dares, I, Juqu Mengxun, will be afraid?"

"Okay!" Tuobagui ordered decisively, "Twenty thousand elite soldiers disarmed and light cavalry, follow me across the river to pursue the Yan army!"

Let's see if the Dao of Heaven will stand by my side, Tuobagui again!

The army of Yan withdrew all the way to the east and retreated to Canhebei. There is a mountain named Panyang in the west of the mountain. Because of the sudden north wind, the weather was steep and cold, and the dark clouds were like embankments, forcing people to come. It was really not conducive to marching at night. Set up camp at the back of the water to temporarily avoid the wind and snow—the army went south after passing through Canhebei, and after passing through Mayi, it was considered to have stepped into the border of Houyan, and it was completely safe after entering the fortress.

The exhausted army of Yan marched all the way, eager to take a complete rest, cheered immediately, buried the rice, the national teacher Tan Meng climbed to Panyang Mountain amidst the smoke, looked around in the twilight, the barracks Surrounded by the vast and tranquil Canhepi Lake, the surface of the lake is covered with a layer of mist like light smoke due to the severe frost and snow. There are only faint gray shadows left on the mountain.Concerned, he returned to the camp to meet Murong Bao who had just finished dinner and was soaking his feet.

The pampered and pampered Crown Prince had suffered enough on this trip, and it was rare to be able to relax for a while, and was disturbed by unexpected guests, his face was very ugly, and Tan Meng was alarmist again, saying, "The evil wind rises, the black air gathers clouds, and follows the east Come on, it's a bad omen to fall on the army." Then he said impatiently: "Our army has been walking for more than ten days, and the road has been calm, and Tuobagui can't catch up even with wings!" Tan Meng repeatedly persuaded the whole army When setting off, don't camp in this place with mountains on its back, surrounded by water on three sides, easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Murong Bao was annoyed by the words, kicked over the wooden basin, and said angrily: "The three armies have already settled down, how can there be any reason to run away overnight in fright just because of your pretentious words?!" Said: "With His Royal Highness's prowess, the strength of the army is enough to sweep across the desert grassland, how dare Tuobagui come so far! Monk, don't startle the crowd with your nonsense!"

Tan Meng couldn't persuade him, so he left sadly, Murong Lin chased him out of the tent and said, "Where is the monk going?"

Tan Meng said in a low voice without turning his head: "Go to a place where there is no one to chant sutras—to save these [-] dying souls."

Murong Lin's heart moved, and he heard his relatives frowned and scolded: "This monk's words are really unlucky! No wonder the crown prince is so displeased." He turned his head and motioned for him to follow Tan Meng, and his relatives were surprised: "Does Your Highness believe this monk's words? "Murong Lin narrowed his eyes and said: "Tan Meng is deeply respected by his father, so it may not be true that he is in vain, pass orders around, and be alert to me tonight!" The confidant said hesitantly: "The prince..."

"Don't worry about it. It's still unknown whether Tuobagui will come after you." Murong Lin sneered, "What's more, His Royal Highness, the dragon among men, is blessed by God. You don't need our guards, and you will be able to die and turn disaster into good luck." .”

However, Tan Meng seemed to be really worrying too much.The long night is approaching, the waning moon is about to fall, and the camp of the Houyan army is still silent, and everyone is dreaming of returning home.

Until a pair of hands brushed away the withered grass, the eagle-like sharp eyes stared down at the Baili Company Battalion of the Houyan Army at the foot of the mountain——Tuoba Gui led [-] elite cavalry, abandoned the baggage and traveled day and night, finally at dawn today I rushed to Panyang Mountain before and bit Yan Jun!He ordered the soldiers to hold their horses and bind their hooves, and they lurked up the mountain to cover the Yan army, and silently spread a net above their heads.

The bonfire in the barracks burnt out the last embers and was completely extinguished. The deathly silence in the camp was torn apart by the piercing and shrill horns from the top of the mountain!Tens of thousands of shadows roared down from the black Panyang Mountain, and the sound of horses neighing and killing swept across the entire valley like a stormy sea!

There is a saying in the art of war: condescending, the momentum is like a broken bamboo.At dawn, Tuobagui's [-] cavalry launched a tragic massacre of [-] Houyan soldiers.Many Yan soldiers had their heads cut off by sabers as soon as they woke up from their sleepy sleep. The broken arms and stumps accompanied by the pouring blood rain turned the once peaceful and peaceful Canhebei into a hell on earth.

The Yan army was defeated by this wanton charge, and was frightened into a dizzy head. They rushed towards the only Canhebei where there was no enemy infestation. Step on and run away?Following ominous cracking sounds, the sound of falling into the water, and screams, more and more Yan troops who had nowhere to escape were driven to the edge of the lake by butcher knives, forced to jump into the icy water, crushing and drowning countless people, and the whole The surface of the lake boiled and became a huge flesh mill.

The speed of the enemy army and the brutality of the battle here shocked Murong Lin, who was already defenseless. He looked at the Houyan army in chaos, crying for their father and mother, and shivered uncontrollably—this battle , the outcome has been decided, or it will become the biggest defeat since the founding of Houyan!A severed head flew over and smashed his red and white filth, and Muronglin came back to his senses, and he ordered the lieutenant in the midst of being turned on his back: "Send the order, our army will retreat first!!!"

The deputy general was stunned: "But His Royal Highness is still trapped in the chaos!"

Murong Lin whipped his whip, and said sharply: "The crown prince missed the military plane and was defeated. Do you want us to be buried with the whole army! If you don't leave, you and I will be buried in a foreign land!"

Murong Lin decisively turned his horse's head and retreated: "Murong Bao, if you die at the hands of Tuobagui, you will be considered worthy of death! When you get to the underworld, you can go and ask your father for your sins!"

It was already dawn and the sound of killings subsided. The huge Canhebei was already crowded with layers of corpses. The remaining [-] Houyan soldiers surrendered and surrendered. With their hands bound, they knelt on the bank in rows, facing the Looking at the fragmented corpses of his comrades-in-arms.

With a burst of joyful cheers, the soldiers who had enjoyed the fight knelt down one after another and paid homage to their wise and brave commander: "The commander is invincible!"

"Long live the Marshal!"

Tuobagui lightly raised his hand, and the audience was silent. He flew off the horse, and his cowhide military boots stepped on the snow with a loud sound, which was like the sound of Yama urging death to the ears of the ashen-faced Houyan captives—they were once The most powerful force in the Northern Central Plains, under the leadership of Murong Chui, once conquered all cities and villages. How could they ever imagine that today they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered?

Tuobagui tore off the blood-soaked cloak with a clatter, threw it away casually, swung the spear heavily in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Juqu Mengxun, are you the one who let Murong Bao go?"

Juqu Mengxun's whole body was as bloody as a gourd, but there was still a sly and cruel smile on his face. He didn't deny it, and nodded majestically. collar, gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you disobey the military order?!"

Meng Xun held down his fist, and said with a smile, "[-] defeated [-] in the battle of Hebei. The general is enough to be famous in history. It's a pity that Murong Lin's team was the first to break through the encirclement, so they couldn't do their best. So I Only then did he kill and play later, and let Murong Bao go."

Tuoba Gui's expression flickered, he recalled it instantly, let go and said, "Murong Lin wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?!"

Meng Xun twitched his lips: "Murong Chui doesn't have much time left. Letting a prince who has lost his prestige come back in a big defeat, and then find his younger brother to settle the score, the brothers will fight against each other, and we will drive straight in and destroy the dead. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?" thing?"

Tuobagui's eyes flashed fiercely, but when he looked at Mengxun, he was full of approval: "Okay, you really think about the long-term, if you can overcome Zhongshan, I will remember your first achievement."

Monson glanced at the prisoners again, and suddenly said in a low voice, "What does the general plan to do with these 5 people?"

Tuobagui said without hesitation: "Take the useful ones for your own use, and the rest of the people will be sent out on the spot after the distribution of rations."

Meng Xun shook his head and smiled: "These people are warriors who have been tempered a hundred times. They can fight with guns and horses. If they are allowed to return to Houyan, they will form an army under Murong Chui's call to fight against me."

Tuobagui was stunned for a moment, his heart jumped wildly, and he deliberately asked: "Then detain him as a prisoner of war in our army?"

Meng Xun shook his head and smiled again: "We have [-] troops and [-] prisoners of war. Once there is a mutiny on the way to the division, the general will suffer." He licked his lips, evoking a bloodthirsty killing intent, "The Yan people are strong, I have come here all over the country, and now I am lucky enough to win a big victory. It is better to kill all these prisoners of war. The main force of Houyan has been completely lost. So far, it has been wiped out. Is it?"

Hearing this, the lieutenant-general around him stopped in shock: "Commander! Since ancient times, it has been ominous to kill and surrender. The famous general in ancient times named Xiang Yu in vain. How many people can die well?!"

After all, this is a total of [-] human lives!Tuobagui had already expected Mengxun's intentions, but still hesitated until Mengxun said softly: "Don't you just want to be a famous general? One day, when the dragon ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and is ordered by the heavens, why should he be afraid of the punishment from the heavens?" retribution?"

Tuobagui's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes gradually became firm—which empire was not founded on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.

He raised his head, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Give me a military order to send [-] soldiers—all of them to be killed!

In the Battle of Hebei, the [-] Hou Yan army was almost wiped out. Only Murong Bao and Murong Lin led thousands of private troops to escape, and more than [-] people died in battle. The rest of the Yan army surrendered as many as [-]. kill.After this battle, the elite army created by Murong Chui was destroyed, and Hou Yan was so devastated and unable to fight back. This is a later story.

At this time, the news of the defeat of Canhebei had not yet spread to Jizhou and southern Shanxi.After Murong Chui took down the platform wall, he dispatched troops and generals to besiege the city and fight for aid. He made up his mind to firmly trap the emperor of Xiyan, who was conquered by his own driver, to death in the eldest son - as long as Murong Chong died in battle, Xiyan would be in chaos. The situation in Kyushu will definitely change accordingly, and unifying the Central Plains will no longer be just a dream!

In the late autumn, the land in the south of Shanxi was desolate. Under the sweep of the Houyan army's solid walls and clear fields, the area around Luchuan, the eldest son, was deserted.Billows of smoke and dust suddenly rose above this barren land, and an army of hundreds of people galloped towards the eldest son city on horseback. Immediately after the eldest son's city gate was lifted quickly, arrows and rocks were fired from the tower, trying to repel another group of Dragon City Jingqi who followed below the city.

The leader rushed across the Wengcheng, got off his horse, and a group of soldiers who had been waiting for a long time flocked to help: "Your Majesty!"

Ren Zhen waved away the crowd, staggered to the second cavalry, and said anxiously: "Wu Lie!"

It was only then that everyone noticed that Wu Lie, the captain of Xiyan's Sili school, was bleeding all over his face, with a half-broken arrow sticking out of his right eye!He turned to Ren Zhengang and wanted to speak, but he fell off the horse precariously. Ren Zhen hurriedly supported him, and ordered in a trembling voice: "Quickly send the military doctor!"

Immediately, someone ran away, and the rest of the people gathered around the same place, all with tears in their eyes and desperate expressions-they knew that this time the forced breakout failed again, and the last general beside the emperor was also shot by an arrow. Could it be that they really To be trapped here alive?

Moreover, it was useless to call the military doctor, they were trapped in the eldest son for dozens of days, Murong Chui continued to attack, although the city had not been destroyed, but the city had already run out of medicines and food, everyone knew that being injured was equivalent to death in battle, if you can't hold on. The number of surrendered Xiyan troops is decreasing sharply every day.

Ren Zhen hurriedly found the last bit of silver ring medicine powder on his body and wanted to apply it on him, but was slowly held down by a bloody hand.

Wu Lie half-opened his blood-smeared left eye, and grinned grinningly: "Don't waste this rare medicine at this time. During the Three Kingdoms period, Xiahou Dun bit his eye for the savior. Although I am a reckless man, I dare to do it for your majesty." The 'Blind Xiahou'!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, held the arrow tail, and shouted, and along with the spurting blood injection, a mass of bloody matter stuck in the arrow and flew away!

After Ren Zhen was shocked, he immediately held down Wu Lie's wound, sprinkled all the powder on him without hesitation, and bandaged him with his own hands in a hurry, threatening in a serious tone: "Wu Lie, if you dare to die here, I will kill you!" I will never treat you as being loyal to the country, and I will never give you honor after death..." As he spoke, he choked up a little: "It was my recklessness and carelessness that made me fall into the enemy's plan...that caused this catastrophe and affected Guanzhong. son."

Everyone knelt down on their knees because of his words, but they couldn't hide their desolate expressions——Murong Chui besieged the city from ten sides, although it was difficult for them to fly with wings, it was also difficult for reinforcements to break through. Given time, would they just stop here? To be forgotten and buried in a foreign land?

"I was originally a horse thief from the Huns. I didn't know that my parents didn't show kindness. It was because His Majesty promoted and reused me today..." Wu Lie said with his pale lips trembling due to excessive blood loss, "If there was no His Majesty in Guanshan, Liangzhou that day, Wu Lie would have died. Become a soul of the dead. I don't regret my death, I'm afraid that your Majesty's ambition to dominate the world will end with the eldest son, so hate him!"

Everyone recalled the pleasure of attacking the city with gold and iron horses in the past, compared with the tragic situation of letting mermaids live in precarious conditions, they all burst into tears. Ren Zhen wiped his blood-stained face in embarrassment. This time he really regretted it—he regretted Don't listen to people's advice, regret self-righteousness, regret that I have always done whatever I want but never think about how the people around me will deal with the aftermath and worry about it!

Someone in the crowd asked in a low voice: "Will the reinforcements...will come again?" This question was really disrespectful, but it struck everyone's hearts like a bolt of lightning—if something happened to Murong Chong, Murong Yong, who is a prince and has a heavy army, is undoubtedly the next emperor of Xiyan. Throughout the ages, are there not many people who turned against each other for the sake of brothers on the throne?If the national army gives up rescue, who else can they count on in the whole world?

Ren Zhen put down Wu Lie slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I will." He rubbed his face fiercely, forcing himself to calm down—in this precarious situation, he is the cripple The only pillar of the army: "Since there is no hope of breaking through, we can only stick to it and wait for help. The horses will be killed and used as military rations. From today onwards, I will change it to one meal a day. The whole army will take turns to guard day and night. To the end, I swear Do not surrender!"

The support inside the city is difficult, and the outside of the city is also anxious.

After days of hard work, Xie Xuan's Beifu Army finally broke through the Zhi Pass, and then Murong Lin's troops made a comeback after being forced back ten miles.

The two sides saw each other repeatedly in the vicinity of Zhi County, each with casualties, until an unexpected visitor came to the Beifu military camp.

Liu Laozhi came at tiger pace, folded his fists and knelt down in front of Xie Xuan, and praised Xie Shuai—just now he could barely recognize this handsome Confucian general who was once like a banished fairy. I've never been so embarrassed and exhausted.

Xie Xuan glanced at this general whom he personally selected and is now in charge of his own affairs. He naturally knew that he had come from a long way, not just to say hello to him.Sure enough, Liu Laozhi had finished his greetings, so he took out the imperial decree and read it out--the above said that Xie Xuan went all the way to conquer, and the court sympathized with his hard work. Now Liu Laozhi plans to temporarily act as the commander-in-chief of the Beifu, and lead the army to withdraw from Zhiguan and turn to Luoyang.

As soon as the words fell, the audience was dead silent.Even a rough man like Liu Laozhi blushed with a purple face, and apologized with an uneasy smile: "The governor is naturally the commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army, and the court only ordered the last general to take this position temporarily, and he will return to the commander after Luoyang is taken. print."

Xie Xuan stood up and said calmly: "The army of Beifu is not my Xie family's private family, so they naturally obey the orders of the imperial court." He ordered someone to take out the seal tiger amulet and hand it over to Liu Laozhi - he was not afraid that Liu Laozhi would step over and act on his behalf. , Since then, he has assumed power, as long as he is alive, the commander of the Beifu will not be second-guessed.

"You can leave with your troops and take Luoyang in the west. But—" He folded his hands behind his back and looked up at Liu Laozhi, "I still want to stay here and attack Zhiguan—even if there is only one soldier left."
