I'm not Murong Chong

Tuobagui blew into the big tent like a gust of wind, and began to take off his helmet armor as he walked, already sweating profusely, sitting on the handsome seat, sweat dripping down his arms, immediately Converged into a small water bed around.

The soldier immediately took the sweat towel, he took it and wiped it carelessly, then tore off the neckline again, and let out a heavy breath, which seemed to relieve the heat.Seeing that he was so hot, the soldiers coquettishly said that they would find some basins of ice for the general, and then fan the ice slowly to make the heat disappear.

Tuoba Gui wiped his face again - he is not a noble man greedy for enjoyment, he has always had the same room and board as a soldier in the army, but he is very afraid of heat - Ren Zhen is also a man who is afraid of dryness and heat Physique, in Chang'an a few years ago, although he did not adopt the opinions of some courtiers to build a summer palace in the suburbs because of the waste, he also built a large waterwheel next to the Jinhua Hall in Weiyang Palace. The diversion of water from the pool drives the water wheel to turn, and there is a cool breeze immediately.At that time, he was just a little Zhonglang general, serving the aloof Emperor Xiyan close to him, hoping that he would be happy for a while and reward his prince in exile with a bright future.

That night, he was fanning for Ren Zhen and was half asleep when he was kicked lightly. After he woke up, he saw Ren Zhen lying on the couch with his hands on his pillow, eyes half-opened and said lazily: "You are so old! The whole body looks like a stove, don't come close, lie down by the window."

He had no choice but to leave in embarrassment. The window was facing the big water truck, and the water vapor and coolness came to his face. It was really uncomfortable without the heat, and it was rare for him to sleep soundly. When he got up the next day, he found that In front of him was a basin of ice that had been placed in front of the emperor's bed, but it had turned into water overnight; and he was wearing a thin shirt embroidered with dragons around his waist.

How many years have passed?seven years?eight years?Or a full ten years?

It turns out that no one can go back.

Tuobagui threw down the sweat towel, and said coldly: "No need. Call the Qi people and hold another military meeting." He has no regrets, he looks forward—now is definitely not the time for him to relax and enjoy himself.

Not long after, all the generals and advisers filed into the account, lined up on both sides, and greeted Tuoba Gui in a uniform manner.

Tuobagui didn't talk about politeness, and pointed at He Lanjun directly: "I heard that there has been an epidemic in the army recently, how is the situation?"

He Lanjun frowned and said: "There are not many medicinal materials and rations left. Our army has continued to attack the city, more and more people have died, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I'm afraid..."

A general said without hesitation: "Then go to search again. We didn't bring much food before, so we kept fighting to support the war?"

But this battle has been going on for more than half a year, and the whole Jizhou has been raided by them again and again. Zhongshan has actually become the only stronghold of Houyan in Hebei, and how much money can be collected-not everyone Dare to loot and burn everything like Juqu Mengxun.Uncle Sun Puluo thought for a while, and then said: "It's better to ask Emperor Yan for help and let them fund grain, grass and medicinal materials. In the past few years, under Yao Song's equalization system, there must be a large amount of grain and grass reserves in Guanzhong."

Juqu Mengxun suddenly smiled: "The commander-in-chief and Xiyan are just subordinates in name now, and now our army's territory is snowballing more and more, Murong Chong is afraid that it will be too late to guard against us, so he will be so kind. Allocating food? You are thinking too simply."

Uncle Sun Puluo couldn't help but glared at him: he didn't think he was a kind woman, but he still found it shocking to learn that he participated in the killing of prisoners.If Juqu Mengxun hadn't encouraged Tuobagui to kill 5 people, Houyan's army and civilians would not have fought so hard and vowed not to surrender; their advance would not have been so difficult.None of these veterans who followed Tuobagui to fight the world liked Juqu Mengxun, but it can be said that he had the highest military exploits, and most of Jizhou was brought down by him.

As usual, Tuoba Gui did not express any opinions, and let them argue with each other to the point of heat, before finally making a final decision: "Our situation is difficult, and the situation in Zhongshan City must be even more difficult. At this point, there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway. While writing a book Ask Chang'an for food and medicine, and on the other hand, launch a general offensive before the epidemic spreads further, take Zhongshan, and destroy Houyan!"

Now that Tuobagui had made up his mind, no one dared to object any more, and they each dispersed to practice their military equipment.Tuobagui stared at the backs of this group of people and suddenly called out: "Cui Hao, you stay."

The one who was stopped was a Han youth who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, thin, weak and quiet, and he was thrown among the group of tough and strong officers, and he almost couldn't find it.This man's surname is Cui, his name is Hao, and his style name is Boyuan. He is a direct descendant of the Qinghe Cui family, a famous family in Jizhou.Tuobagui wanted to occupy Hebei for a long time, and since he didn't want to offend the local tyrants, he treated Cui Hong very courteously, invited him to be the servant of the Huangmen, and sent him to Pingcheng to take charge of the secrets and draft laws and regulations, and even kept his son Cui Hao by his side for Sacrificial wine in the army - sacrificial wine is equivalent to a counselor, but no one puts this young Cui Hao in their eyes, and only thinks that Tuoba Gui just wants to keep a hostage to contain Cui Patriarch Cui Hong.

Cui Hao turned around, bowed to Tuoba Gui without being arrogant or humble, and then stood silently waiting for Tuoba Gui's instructions.

After everyone left, Tuoba Gui asked, "What do you think about the general attack on Zhongshan?"

Cui Hao raised his head slowly, and his eyes that were still cautious just now became brighter in an instant: "The commander-in-chief has a conclusion in his mind."

Tuoba Gui asked with great interest: "Tell me about it."

Hearing this, Cui Hao said calmly: "It's difficult. If you want to fight to the death, Murong Bao is very likely to implement a scorched-earth strategy. He would rather destroy the Emperor Huanghuang than give it with both hands. Even if countless sacrifices are made in the end, he has to What's the use of an abandoned capital?——Zhongshan City is located in the Central Plains, no more than Canhebei outside the Great Wall, and Jizhou is among the nine states in the world. The hearts of the people here." He paused, and continued: "The siege battle has reached this level, and it is difficult to take it seriously. It is hard for the besieged, but the besieged want to break out and escape. It's just that there is one less opportunity. Besides, even if Murong Bao succeeds in breaking through by luck, his lonely family in Hebei is already untenable, so he can only flee north to Longcheng in Liaodong. After the commander-in-chief occupies Jizhou, he can chase him Continue to expand the territory and expand the army - because once the war with Houyan subsides here, I am afraid that the commander-in-chief will meet with the suzerain Xiyan soon."

Tuobagui's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth faintly and said: "Cui Hao, you are really smart, you can understand my thoughts clearly, but smart people generally don't live long."

Cui Hao was not afraid, and said loudly: "I don't command soldiers, and I don't summon taboos. No matter how smart Boyuan is, it's all for assisting the overlord. How can the commander destroy the Great Wall by himself?"

Tuobagui laughed: "What a Qinghe Cui family, indeed, a child prodigy is born in the world - that's why I sent your father to Pingcheng to draft various military systems and insisted on keeping you by my side!"

It turned out that because of the participation in the killing and surrender, most people in the world used Tuoba Xianbei as the murderous demon army. All wealthy families with connections in Houyan evacuated from this war-torn place, and Cui Hong, who was the former governor of Gaoyang in Houyan, was also in Tuoba Xianbei. Before Bagui broke the city, he fled to Haizhu with his family, intending to escape southward by water and join the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After Tuoba Gui heard the news, he rode his horse overnight to chase after him. At that time, Cui's family had already boarded the boat, so he prostrated himself on the shore and urged Cui Hong to stay as his assistant.Cui Hong hesitated when he saw this, but it was his son Cui Hao who stepped forward and persuaded loudly in the cabin: "The court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was nepotistic, and there were many powerful people. Even if we flee to Jiangdong now, we will just be rich and idle people, and we will spend the rest of our lives like this. ——A man should use what he has learned all his life to serve as the overlord, so that he will live up to this life!" In the end, Cui Hong made up his mind and went ashore to surrender.

Seeing that Hou Yan was in peace and the war was going well, all the counselors began to discuss the matter of revitalizing the Dai Kingdom. Under the divergent opinions, they all wanted to expand Shengle as the capital, hold a tribal meeting, officially restore the name of the Dai Kingdom, and then Tuoba Gui inherited the throne of the Dai King and summoned the world to comfort the spirit of the old King Tuoba Shi Yiqian in heaven.

Tuoba Gui has been noncommittal, only Cui Hao said bluntly: "Although the former Dai country had a country name, it was actually just a tribal alliance in Chilechuan, with loose organization, backward system, and a nomadic life. Therefore, once the civil strife occurred, it would be immediately annexed by the powerful former Qin Empire at that time; if the country is restored today, it will no longer be able to return to the grasslands, rest on its laurels, and be satisfied with the establishment of a mere Dai State!"

Everyone was laughed at by this kid's ignorant remarks—if Tuobagui hadn't summoned the old ministry under the slogan of restoring the country, would he have developed to such a degree in just a few years?

He even deliberately teased the child to say some wild words: "In your opinion, what should it be called?"

Cui Hao said sternly: "Looking at the general's actions and ambitions, if he is not inferior to Emperor Wu of Cao Wei, he can also roam the Central Plains and chase the world. The name of the country should be changed to 'Wei'!"

Tuobagui remembered that he got up at that time, patted Cui Hao on the shoulder and reprimanded lightly: "The kid is arrogant."

The matter of recommending the name of the country was put on hold for the time being because the war was blocked and Zhongshan could not be attacked for a long time.However, Tuobagui had vaguely known from that time on, that he had a lot of generals and over a hundred advisers, and that the only one who could assist him in becoming the hegemony was Cui Boyuan!

Cui Hao's still childish face showed a calmness and determination that did not match his age: "It's just... if the army came under pressure and launched a general attack, Murong Bao would have been scared out of his wits, and at most he would just stand behind closed doors. Break through?" You can't send someone to sneak into Zhongshan and tell Murong Bao that Tuobagui doesn't want to kill them all, so you should hurry up and find a chance to escape?

Tuobagui stroked the green and hard stubble on his chin, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Is this...someone can do it for me."

The weather is scorching hot and the night is long. The dull atmosphere in Zhongshan City is even more depressing with the long and short sharp sound of beeping dysprosium.Murong Xi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, aimlessly looking at the deathly silent Zhongshan City in the night.

Not long after, a palace maid came in, followed by a small yellow gate holding a food box - Tuobagui besieged the city for half a year, they occupied the solid wall of Zhongshan City, vowed not to surrender, and persisted until now, but it was already too late. It is the end of the exhausted crossbow.All food must be given priority to the army, and those who are still in the palace, the royal relatives, the princes and the queens, can only be uniformly made by the imperial dining room and distributed according to grades.

The palace maid was his personal maid, just as the food box was put down, she took out a silver hairpin and inspected it carefully, before presenting it to Murong Xi with both hands: "Your Majesty, please eat."

Murong Xi glanced at the sticky and hard-to-discern "dinner" in the bowl, and immediately said with disgust: "What is this?! There was rice and porridge last time, so I asked the king to eat this today!?" Then Xiao Huangmen hurriedly explained: "The rice grain in the palace has been exhausted, the emperor has ordered that from today onwards, the kings will start to reduce the ratio, and change the rice bran to half.

Before he finished speaking, Murong Xi raised his foot and kicked in a rage: "Get out! What are you! How dare you pretend to be a tiger!" The maid hurriedly stopped Murong Xi, secretly couldn't help but peek at the bowl of batter, couldn't help it He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.Murong Xi was still angry: "Although there is a severe shortage of food, I don't see Murong Bao, the emperor, eating these pig food!" The maid immediately came back to herself in fright, and knelt down to persuade: "Your Highness, please be patient." Your Majesty has disliked you for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have given Concubine Duan Yuan to the late Emperor as soon as he ascended the throne. If His Highness's words are spread, there will be no peace."

It turned out that after Murong Chui's death, just after the coffin was transported back to Zhongshan, the new monarch Murong Bao issued an instruction to Concubine Duan Yuan: When the first emperor was in power, the empress once slandered and framed her, saying that the crown prince might not be able to become a great one if he is too small. Ascendant, please also ask the empress to report to the first emperor under Jiuquan!Concubine Duan Yuan, who was in plain white clothes, listened calmly, and said with a sneer: "The emperor only has the ability to force his mother to be killed. How can he still protect the late emperor's inheritance? This palace can end it on its own, but please consider the brotherhood." , there will be no calamity against the wall!" After saying that, he calmly went to die.

Where did Murong Bao listen, and was about to turn his head to deal with Murong Xi, Tuobagui had already killed him aggressively, and General Feng Ba of the Central Guard led his troops to Zhongshan to "guard King Qin", Murong Bao did not dare to offend in this situation The Feng brothers, who held heavy troops in their hands, had no choice but to stop halfway, letting Murong Xi, the thorn in his side, temporarily go.

Murong Xi sneered and said: "Really? Tuobagui can't beat him, but Wo Liheng is still okay. How difficult is it to get rid of me without anyone noticing?" He glanced at the maid again, pointed at the batter, Said: "This king won't eat this, I will reward you."

Murong Xi was doted on by his parents since he was a child, so he is not used to eating such things under the rich clothes and fine food, but today he didn't eat a drop of rice all day, after a moment of anger, he was inevitably hungry, and after Haishi, he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep. Just as he was tossing and turning, wanting to gnaw on the table legs to satisfy his hunger, another waiter from the Huangmen came up, covering his head and tail, but carefully took out a layer of oiled paper packets from his arms, and the tempting aroma was all over the night breeze Floating far away.

The little eunuch who delivered the food tried his best to move his eyes away from the oil paper bag, turned to the prince who was once as high as a heavenly man, and whispered: "General Feng asked the slave to bring this into the palace—the general said , the palace is in short supply of fine grains, but the barracks is better, the general is afraid that His Highness will be hungry at night, so he sent two cakes..."

If it was usual, Murong Xi wouldn't even look at this kind of food in the marketplace, but no matter how hard he is, he knows that these two cakes were probably saved by Feng Ba from his own ration. To be honest, if he hadn't had his support all these years, He had already been killed by Murong Bao looking for a trick.

He casually took off the jade ornaments on his belt and rewarded the little eunuch who sent him to run errands - anyway, at this point, the gold, silver and jewelry are useless, not even as good as an ordinary hot meal.He closed the door behind him, got on the couch with his legs crossed, and began to eat heartily. At the beginning, because he was hungry, he ate like a mountain, but after filling his stomach, he began to feel desperate while breaking the bread and instinctively stuffing it into his mouth: today If we still have enough to eat, what about tomorrow?Because of the bloody lesson and deterrence of the Battle of Canhebei, Houyan from the emperor to the soldiers and civilians were determined not to surrender, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that the defense of Zhongshan might be difficult to win in the end.

Can't win and can't surrender, what will be the result?Burn the Zhongshan City, which was built all over the country?To perish together with Tuoba Gui?Thinking of this, Murong Xi was frightened and frightened, and could not help but secretly resent Tuobagui—it was rare to see him in all these years, when he was fighting on the battlefield with gold and iron horses, did he think of him for a moment?Once the city of Zhongshan was broken, the two armies fought in a melee, and once they met on a narrow road, what would he do to him?

He folded his clothes and lay down with a numb expression, but his mind was full of thoughts about Tuobagui—it had been many years since he hadn't seen him, and it was fine if he didn't think about it on weekdays. go.

He fell asleep drowsily amidst the myriad thoughts of resentment, hatred, thought, anger, and affection. However, it was hot in the middle of the night in July. How could he sleep peacefully? When he was half asleep and half awake, he turned his head and suddenly saw Standing in front of him was a tall black shadow!

This shock was no small matter, Murong Xi only thought that Murong Bao finally couldn't bear it and wanted to kill him. As soon as Gulong stood up, he was about to call out loudly, but the black shadow shot like lightning and slammed his mouth.

Murong Xi was speechless all of a sudden, the wide slap, the hot skin, the salty smell, and the calluses on his fingertips from holding a sword and a gun—he relaxed, stopped struggling, and raised his hand to hold the sneak attack. He pulled down the wrist of the old man, and said angrily: "Although the world is in chaos now, you can't just leave your soldiers and run from the city gate to the palace. Is the person taking the right one?"

The black figure let out a muffled low laugh, and Murong Xi instantly realized what was wrong, he pushed the man away, and said in a panic: "You?!"

The black figure turned over neatly and got down on the bed, lit the candlestick, and returned to Murong Xi again, the once unforgettable face slowly came into view under the swaying firelight.

Murong Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, and he covered his mouth, unable to speak a word in surprise.

"Who do you think I am? Feng Ba? Or another guest?!" Tuobagui smiled evilly. He entered the enemy city at night and broke into the palace alone, but he was not afraid and seemed at ease.

Murong Xi was at a loss for words for a moment, and it took him a while to react, and hastily leaned over and pushed him: "You madman, if someone finds out when you get in at this time, you will be scratched alive!"

Tuoba Gui hugged him around his waist: "Then you go and report it~ Grab me, the chief culprit, and the siege of Zhongshan will be solved immediately, and you will make an indelible contribution!"

Murong Xi struggled feebly, but naturally failed - this man's face was as handsome as before, but he looked a lot older, and the chiseled brows also added a bit of aggressive spirit, however, this vigorous and tough His murderous look made him even more deadly masculine and attractive.

He punched Tuobagui helplessly and resentfully: "If you kill you, will the 30 troops outside the city retreat?! Since you have made up your mind to kill me, Dayan, why do you come to me in a sneaky way? ?! You have been busy fighting and killing all these years, but you think of me for a moment?!"

Tuobagui let him vent, and then whispered in his ear, "Of course I'm thinking of you, otherwise why would I have risked my life and spent so much trouble just to sneak in to see you?"

"Then what? Go out of the city at dawn, and kill me again? You can just say it straight, it's not just mere scheming." The surprise and shock of goodbye gradually dissipated, and Murong Xi began to calm down—Tuo Bagui, if he is as affectionate as he said, he will not be where he is today.

Tuoba Gui raised his hand and inserted it into his long hair that was loose like splashed ink. With the movement of combing, his fiery eyes wrapped around Murong Xi like a poisonous snake, winding all the way down sticky and wet.

Murong Xi didn't dare to look at the ambiguous and vague smile at the corner of his mouth, frowned and said: "What are you doing here--" Before he finished speaking, Tuoba Gui suddenly swooped down like a tiger pouncing on his prey, and pressed him on the couch In the next moment, she kissed him lingeringly.

"I'm here for you." Tuobagui licked his lips, the brilliance in his eyes flowed, as if he was really affectionate, "Houyan is at the end of his life, the battle of Zhongshan is doomed, do you want to die with him? "

Murong Xi was panting, and turned his head away in embarrassment: "Don't try to use me again! I'm not that capable, open the city gate and let you in!"

Tuoba Gui twitched the corner of his mouth, kissed him like a shadow, and went down, sucking his slender neck: "You have no ability, Feng Ba has it~ Isn't he heavily guarding the east gate of Zhongshan City now?" He paused Dun, stood up, and smiled wildly: "But I never wanted you to open the city to meet the enemy - even if you were willing, Feng Ba is not so stupid. What I want is a complete Zhongshan City as my An outpost fortress for the future restoration of the country, but depending on what your elder brother means, at the last moment, he would rather burn the entire Zhongshan to ashes than take advantage of me. When the city is broken, he can retreat and break through, so what about you? Definitely Being thrown into the aftermath army to defend him against pursuers, in the midst of the chaos, even if Feng Ba has his heart, can he really keep you unscathed?"

Murong Xi murmured: "You...what do you mean? You want me...to withdraw first?"

"That's right, let Murong Bao take a step first, break through the encirclement and withdraw northward - you Houyan still has a stronghold in Liaodong, you can retreat to Longcheng without losing a corner of peace, why stick to Zhongshan and stand deadlocked to death?" Tuobagui said in his mouth. It is a serious and serious military matter, but his eyes are extremely presumptuous, shooting Murong Xi up and down, "After three days, my army will attack the city, you can let Feng Ba join forces in the army, come out of the city to meet the enemy with Murong Bao's words, and fight to the death , and then I will leave an omission in the northwest corner of the battlefield, make an exception, and let you go north."

Murong Xi said: "But what if Murong Bao followed closely behind and broke through from the northwest—?"

This kid really hated his brother, wishing he could die on the battlefield.Tuobagui tapped the tip of his nose, and said: "Actually, Murong Bao couldn't hold on for a long time. If he had the chance, he would definitely be able to run. Once he ran, Houyan's army would no longer have the will to fight, and they would rush to the dragon. The city fled away—who was guarding Longcheng? Murong Bao's eldest son, Murong Sheng. He was the most important grandson of Murong Chui back then, but Murong Bao replaced his beloved youngest son Murong Hui as the heir apparent as soon as he came to power. Murong Sheng was forced to garrison Longcheng far away, how could he be willing? Now that the situation has reversed, seeing his father lost his soul and bringing the defeated army to join him, what do you think he will do? And Murong Bao has Murong Lin, Murong Nong and Murong De beside him, Everyone has ambitions, and some are noisy."

Murong Xi was a little distracted—he had no talent or interest in fighting for power, but after so many years of being lucky enough to survive in the shadows of swords and swords, he knew that the only way to protect himself was to become the highest and most superior person, and he knew what the snipe and the clam were. Fight for the fisherman to gain!In the chaotic situation where everyone wants to fight for the heir apparent, the one who is the least visible is the most likely to survive to the end. In addition, with the army in Feng Ba's hands to rely on, he may not be the final winner.

Tuobagui looked at his words, and knew that he was living his mind—yes, the position of emperor, even if he was only a short-term emperor in a small country, there are still people who will follow him—he raised his lips and smiled: "Baby, how about you?" Remember what I said to you in the Tongguan camp back then? As long as you want, I will definitely be able to put you on the throne. Your useless bastard brother will only be cornered by me and trapped internally and externally. You wait I will avenge you."

Tuoba Gui's words really caught his ears, and Murong Xi recalled the past, and little by little came to his mind - it turned out that what he said back then was not a joke, he remembered it all.It's fine if he doesn't see Tuobagui on weekdays, and he has others to talk to for comfort, but now that he saw the real person and heard the truth, he couldn't help feeling itchy in his heart, curled his lips on purpose, and pushed Tuobagui vigorously Bagui's stiff chest: "Just say what you say, and it's up to me? It's such a hot day, go down quickly! Don't tarnish your great reputation of being wise and martial!"

Tuobagui's body was as firm as a rock, motionless, but his hands were restless. He had already entered the room, and Mosuo wore the sweaty, hot and smooth skin under the thin silk jacket, and sneered: "What great reputation do I have? His Royal Highness King Hejian of Yan?"

"You!" Murong Xi raised his leg angrily and wanted to kick, but was suddenly grabbed by it. Tuobagui held his snow-white calf without saying a word, wrapped it around his healthy waist, bent down and licked it sensually. His sweat was dripping, and even the breath he exhaled was hot and trembling: "...you don't want to?"

"I don't want to!" Murong Xi moaned, his face was flushed with excitement, his eyes were shining, but he insisted on duplicity—he thought, he was crazy!It seems that the hotter a man is, the more he wants to vent his desire and desire, and he can't help but hide it.

Tuobagui's eyes froze, and his murderous aura suddenly rose. He stopped talking nonsense, suddenly opened his legs, and swooped in!Murong Xi screamed, and began to struggle with his hands and feet, but it was all in vain. The more he struggled, the more excited he became. Tuoba Gui's rare roughness and strength made his body and mind melt into one in this hot summer night. Beach spring water.

Tuoba Gui has been very strict in self-discipline in the army, and it has been a long time. This night, he spent all his suppressed strength.He understands that after this incident, the whole territory of Jizhou is in my hands!
