I'm not Murong Chong

Counting the number of people in the posthouse, one member of the Huben camp was lost, and several others were injured, but only Tuobagui was the most seriously injured - because the hidden weapon of the night raider was poisoned, so although the wound was not serious, But the swelling was unbearable, and the black blood continued.After Fu Jian went up to look at it, he said to Ren Zhen, "The toxicity is not very strong. The pus and blood must be drained before applying the medicine." Turning to his side, he said, "I will take care of myself." Ren Zhen slapped his palm and said, "You are hurt on the back, how do you take care of it?" After that, Fu Jian and others were kicked out, and Tuoba Gui, who was sitting on the bed, spread his hands :"knife."

Tuoba Gui's heart felt hot, knowing that he was going to heal his wounds himself, he hurriedly offered the scimitar with both hands.

Ren Zhen roasted the blade with fire, acting as a disinfectant, and said without turning his head, "Medicine."

Tuobagui looked bewildered.Ren Zhen turned back to the couch and repeated impatiently: "Yinhuan."

Tuobagui was flustered and bluffed for a moment, but he still replied instinctively with no expression on his face: "Why did the general carry this medicine with him?" Ren Zhen pressed his shoulder and stared at the several people on his back Xuedong, the hand holding the knife hesitated a little, as if he was not sure of his own strength: "I know you must be careful to carry the ones you didn't use up last time——I'm afraid I'll miss the head when bleeding, the silver ring's The weak poison can paralyze the nerves, and it is a holy medicine for healing commonly used in the military." After speaking, he glanced at the numb Tuobagui, "Don't worry, I know what happened in the past, and I have to investigate it, and I have already investigated it."

Tuobagui's heart fluttered violently, he never expected that he would set up Yang Ding at the martial arts competition to provoke the relationship between Murong Yong and Murong Chong. How could he really not pursue it!Could it be that you want to settle accounts after autumn?

Impatient with Ren Zhen and the others, they reached into Tuobagui's clothes and searched up and down, and found a small piece of kraft paper bag, which turned out to be a silver ring.He picked out some with his fingertips and melted it into the hot tea, and ordered: "Open your mouth." Tuobagui just opened his mouth at a loss, and it was filled up immediately, making him extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to speak out any more. , I had to drag the quilt to cover my mouth and cough loudly.Seeing this, Ren Zhen softened his heart again, and pushed Tuoba Gui to make him lie prone on the bed, and said, "I didn't suspect you about the martial arts performance, but I know Murong Yong very well. Also very clear about the importance, be careful in everything, lest you make a wrong move, how dare you take Dayan's national fortune as a bet for him and me in the struggle for power?! The rest are all kinds of things, you can know after thinking about it—— Do you want to borrow What happened to Yang Ding made me except Murong Yong."

Tuobagui was speechless, dumbfounded, he couldn't even feel the pain like a knife piercing into flesh, pulling out blood, his mind was full of confusion: he knew it all.He did know.How will he deal with me, punish me?

Ren Zhen thought in his heart that Tuoba Gui couldn't understand Murong Yong's growing power and threatened the imperial power, and he wanted to stand up for him, which was justifiable, and he also took the opportunity to beat Murong Yong, so as not to lose his authority too much Proper.How could he have guessed that Tuobagui wanted to get rid of Murong Yong's thorn in his side - as long as Murong Yong was around, even Yang Ding would not be able to truly integrate into the Yan army's core, and he, a general with a foreign surname, would never have a bright future.

Ren Zhen didn't realize that Tuoba Gui's mind was in a state of confusion at the moment, he raised the knife and stabbed the blood as soon as possible, even the tip of his nose was sweating a little, while saying: "It's just that you shouldn't hide it from me, let alone Use me."

Tuobagui seemed to feel pain through his bones suddenly because of these words, he couldn't help crying, but said: "Your Majesty, I, I, I have never—"

"Never used it? Not necessarily. From the first time I saw you, I knew that your city was dark, and you used to use others to climb up. The original Fu Shen, the later Yang Ding, and even me, are not all candidates for you to set foot in? "Ren Zhen smiled mockingly, exerting force with his hands, and the last gust of pus and blood gushed out, "But I can see that you are doing your best for me now, and that's enough. I love your talent, if you If I take you another word of loyalty, how difficult will it be to enshrine ten thousand households in the future? As long as you remain unchanged for the rest of your life, I won’t ask about the rest.”

Tuobagui trembled all over, and collapsed on the bed, with his back turned to him, he answered in a trembling voice: "Yes." But perhaps the pain was too much, a little starlight appeared from the corner of his eyes for the first time, but he quickly rubbed against the bedding. Up, eliminate the invisible.

Just after the next day, Juqu Nancheng, who received the news, immediately came to visit and condolences. He first visited Fu Jian, and when he saw that he was fine, he blamed himself and said: "At the end of last night, the general really didn't know that the king of heaven was attacked, so he came late. Now, I hope the Heavenly King will make amends! Longshan Town is heavily guarded and always peaceful, but who would have thought that such turmoil would occur! It’s all due to the lack of protection by the general, please ask the king, General Xu Mo, to investigate this matter thoroughly!”

Fu Jian waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to say anything. The person who did it had planned it a long time ago. I'm afraid they had already deployed secret agents to infiltrate Longshan a few years ago. They have formed their own organization. How could you know in advance?" Male Hearing that he seemed to have something in his words, Cheng was in a state of turmoil, thinking that Lu Zuan couldn't help but strike, and couldn't help secretly hating him for being too quick - if Fu Jian was really attacked by someone in his Longshan Town There are three pros and twos, Lu Guang and his son will push him out as the scapegoat. At that time, everyone will say that he is a traitor and traitor. He is not for nothing! ?He was afraid that Lu Zuan really wanted Fu Jian's life, and he was not willing to take his own home into it, so he was eager to invite Fu Jian, the Buddha, out of the city. Nothing to do with him.So then he changed the subject and carefully mentioned the matter of setting off for Guzang.At this moment, Lu Zuan also sent someone to pay his respects, but he said that he had a cold from drinking too much at the banquet the day before yesterday, and now he is bedridden and unable to get up to kiss him.

Now Juqu Nancheng has committed a difficult problem——Lu Guang ordered Lu Zuan to come to Dazhenguan to pick up Fu Jian, and he would have to go all the way back with his companions. Now this eldest son "sick", but he doesn't know how long it will be delayed up.Fu Jian thought for a while, and then said: "Since the eldest son is ill, he should take good care of himself and rest, and don't have to go on the road. If you still don't feel at ease, you can send any of your relatives and noble generals to escort you along the way."

Nancheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "However, Lord Jiuquan ordered the eldest son to pick him up on festivals, and to prepare the emperor's chariot, and to ride the horse is to show respect to the king of heaven. If the eldest son does not accompany the driver back to Beijing, only I'm afraid that Lord Jiuquan will be furious because of the grievances and hard work on the road to the king of heaven." Ren Zhen was afraid that the night would be full of dreams, and he was also anxious to enter Guzang to see Lu Guang sign the alliance between the two countries to attack Yao, so he said: "It's just that we don't want that big man. How can the person who assassinated last night know that he did not plan to assassinate when he opened the city gate to welcome the driver that day? It is a long way to go to Guzang, I am afraid there are people with ulterior motives waiting for the opportunity, so it is better to keep a low profile It’s better to let the wind out.”

"Exactly." Fu Jian said seriously, "Not only is it not necessary for the emperor to drive, but even the Yan army who accompanied him had better change their clothes and pretend to be cool soldiers, so as to avoid people's eyes and ears. If Shiming blames him afterwards, I have my own responsibility Let’s do it.” Juqu Nan had a preconceived opinion that he had nothing to do with saying this, so he agreed on an agenda, and decided to leave in two days, and then went to take care of everything by himself.Ren Zhen, however, had other ideas, so while Juqu Nancheng and the others were busy, he disguised himself and left the servants beside him, wanting to find out the details of the military equipment of the Great Earthquake Pass.

Dazhen Pass is different from ordinary passes. There are no internal and external urns. However, the city walls are more than three feet high and five feet thick. The gaps in the brick walls are filled with glutinous rice juice to resist incoming enemies. , the rare impregnable.Ren Zhen knew that it was the boundary barrier between Houliang and Guanzhong. Once the Great Earthquake Pass was lost, the Guanzhong cavalry could leap across Longshan Mountain to take Guzang City. Don't say that the elite of the Lu family's army is still in Guzang, but the Xiongnu cavalry formed by Juqu men who guard the Dazhen Pass are enough to drink a pot for anyone who dares to invade.

It was a time of chaos in China, except for Ran Min who once seized the throne from the later Zhao Shihu and established the Ran Wei regime, the Han people had almost no foothold in the northern Central Plains, precisely because of the Huns, Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang. The Hu people are all heroes on horseback, not only relying on their bravery and skill in fighting, they are also invincible in horses and swords, especially the Xiongnu.Decades ago, Liu Yuan and Liu Cong, father and son of the Huns and the Han Kingdom, relied on sharp-edged war horses, squatting horizontally and horizontally between the two capitals of Guanzhong, killing blood for thousands of miles, until they personally killed Sima Ye, the last emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty. Burned Luoyang City and destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty.Now the Han Kingdom of the Liu family has long since vanished and was replaced by the newcomers. However, the bravery of the Huns cavalry and the precision of their weapons are still very few in this world.

The rest of Longshan Mountain is rich in water and grass, strong in war horses, and rich in iron ore. Almost all the swords and halberds of the Xiongnu army are produced locally. The armies of various countries are also proud of being equipped with Xiongnu war horses and weapons. Since the policy of closing the customs, the trade between Xiliang and Guanzhong has been interrupted, and it is difficult for the horses and swords to flow into the Central Plains.

Ren Zhen took a peek at the stables in the Liang army camp from the top of the wall. Each head was fat and strong. Although it was not as good as the ocher white of the dragon's back and silver hooves, it was still a rare horse——Ren Zhen looked around and saw no one around. He climbed over the wall lightly and skillfully, clapped his hands neatly, and strode towards the stables.

The war horses are all raised in the army for a long time, they are not afraid of people, they don't even snort, they graze their own grass, flick their tails.Ren Zhen detoured a few times, and saw a black horse in the head, with four jasper hooves and a pair of golden pupils. He looked very handsome, but he was so lazy that he couldn't close his eyes.Ren Zhen's eyes lit up, he went over and squatted down, and fed a large handful of hay to the horse.Unexpectedly, the horse didn't even roll its eyelids, showing its dislike for the taste.Ren Zhen slipped to the kitchen and stole a spoonful of wheat bran cooked with spices before feeding it, and the horse opened its mouth wide and began to eat.

Even this tsundere foodie looks like Zhebai!Ren Zhen had a bad idea, and wanted to take a horse by the way. Anyway, there were many horses locked up in the earthquake, and they were going out of the city soon. Then they would sneak into the team and take them out. Who would notice that a horse was lost in the camp?He moved the feed tentatively, and saw that the black horse stretched its neck eagerly and continued to snort happily.Ren Zhen was overjoyed, advancing by three points and retreating by two points, the black horse really retracted its four hooves, stood up, and began to snort incessantly.Holding the pot in his hand, Ren Zhen backed away slowly, slowly led the horse to the side door that he "borrowed" just now, and then slowly put it down.When the black horse stopped and lowered its neck to chew, he saw the right moment, leaped forward, grabbed the saddle, turned over, and yanked the rein fiercely!

The black horse was in pain, and his neck was raised and neighed. Seeing that the matter had been revealed, Ren Zhen feared that someone would come looking for him, so he decided to use the speed of his soldiers. He clamped the horse's belly, trying to drive it away forcibly.Unexpectedly, the dark horse was completely disobedient and refused to leave the fragrant wheat bran. Ren Zhen panicked and whipped the remaining feed away with a whip.Ren Zhen was afraid that he would come to non-violent non-cooperation, so he picked up a horsewhip and whipped a ball of wheat bran and flew outside the door, touched the horse's ear and said, "Xiao Hei, come with me, we don't care about food, clothing or arranged marriage. "The black horse didn't know if it understood, but it turned around and walked out.

Before Ren Zhen was overjoyed, he suddenly heard a whistle, and the black horse suddenly became agitated and jumped. Although Murong Yong personally taught Ren Zhen's riding skills, he didn't practice very hard on the ocher white horse. With the three-legged cat kung fu, he was thrown off the ground after a few strokes.

Ren Zhen screamed in a low voice, turned over with his hands on his buttocks, pointed at the black horse and cursed: "What's wrong with you, you bastard!" Go, but it attacked in the opposite direction to the place where the whistle sounded just now, and a blow hit the open space fiercely. Ren Zhen whipped eight times in a row, until a figure jumped out in embarrassment and exasperatedly said : "Why do you steal horses and hurt people?"

Ren Zhen withdrew the whip, put it casually into his waist, and said mockingly: "General Juqu, don't make false accusations, take someone without telling him and call him a thief, and Xiao Hei has no owner, who shall I tell!?"

"What little black! His name is Wu Yunliu!" Juqu Mengxun was furious - Dawan's famous horse, he called it like a dog.Ren Zhen nodded: "Oh! Isn't that the same meaning as Xiao Hei? The name is still complicated."

"..." Juqu Mengxun squatted on the ground helplessly and speechlessly. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Ren Zhen, and smiled again, "If you like, I can call you Xiao Hei—for you?"

Ever since Ren Zhen knew that Wu Yunliu was Mengxun's mount, he no longer had any unreasonable thoughts. At this moment, he waved his hands in a serious manner and said, "A gentleman does not take what others like, so avoid it." Juqu Mengxun said in his heart: You Where is he like a gentleman?Without saying a word, he squeezed to Ren Zhen's side affectionately and said, "How about our Longshan war horse?"

Ren Zhen was very annoyed by the second-generation official who jumped up and down like a monkey, and immediately turned his body to avoid it and said, "Very good and handsome. Can you open a market to exchange horses with Dayan? No? If not, don't." Nonsense."

Meng Xun was robbed so quickly by him, he really choked and couldn't speak, and after a while he choked out a sentence: "I'm not a man, how can I decide whether to open the market or not." After a pause, he said: "Everyone thinks that the Xiongnu The invincibility of the cavalry is due to the Longshan war horses. In fact, there are good horses everywhere, and the key to the cavalry is speed and lightness. Once our Huns cavalry rushes to attack the city, one person will be paired with two horses, and they will take turns to bear the weight. Immediately change to a good horse that has just been recuperated at the destination, taking advantage of the unpreparedness to attack the enemy, and succeed in a single battle—that’s why the combat power of the Huns’ cavalry is the best in the world, so how can they only rely on the power of war horses and weapons?” Ren Zhenyi Dazed, as if he didn't expect him to say what he was thinking, he talked eloquently and still had something to say, so he unconsciously leaned closer to listen, and as soon as Meng Xun finished speaking, he saw the right moment and suddenly leaned into his ear and said: " But if you, Yan Guo, want war horses, it’s not impossible—wait for me to talk to Nan Cheng.”

Ren Zhen was terrified by the hot breath he exhaled, and immediately jumped three feet high: "This is a national event - I don't care what I say, it's up to our emperor to make the decision."

Meng Xun smiled meanly and followed: "That's fine, I'll follow you all the way back to Chang'an to meet your emperor."

Ren Zhen had already fled to the door, and at this moment turned around and said, "Okay, let's see you in Chang'an then!" Just kidding, he will leave for Guzang in a day or two, and if he can sign an alliance smoothly, he will go back to Chang'an directly , see him again in the Year of the Monkey?

Monson didn't go after him either. He stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, showing his white teeth in a smile under the sun: "It's a deal, goodbye."

Unexpectedly, when Monson said goodbye, he would see you soon.

In the early morning, Ren Zhen, with black eyes, had just been rushed out of the post house by the crowd, and then he heard a hearty shout: "Ren Zhen!" He rubbed his eyes and stared at the refreshed station Juqu Mengxun in front of the posthouse: "What are you doing here!?"

Meng Xun raised his hands and fists, saluted Fu Jian first, and then turned to Ren Zhen - he was dressed all over his body, his armor was clearly defined, and he looked at the usual frivolity and childishness faded away, and suddenly felt a little bit more elegant Xuan Ang: "The last general is ordered to escort His Majesty the Heavenly King to Guzang along the way!"

At this moment, the General's Mansion in Chang'an City

Murong Yong frowned slowly under the lamp and said, "The emperor...won't go back to Chang'an?"

The person who came was dressed in the clothes of a guard of the Huben camp, but his brilliance had long been lost due to the dust. He clasped his fists at Murong Yong and repeated: "The emperor has left the Great Earthquake Pass to go to Guzang, the capital of Houliang. Before leaving, I ordered you to return immediately. On the way, they were meeting with the spy sent by the general to Longshan, and they returned to Chang'an together, and reported to the general—the Lu family and his son did not agree, fearing that the alliance would change unexpectedly, the emperor decided to go to Guzang in person, for fear of arousing suspicion To scare the snake away, please, General, no longer need to send someone to pass on the news."

Murong Yong didn't speak, just looked at the guard, obviously not fully convinced - he sent Diao Yun to Xiao Guan to replace the reckless Murong Zhong, who was so happy, it was just a stopgap measure, to take his loyalty and stability, that's all. Now the battle situation in Xiaoguan is becoming more and more tense. Yao's army is trying to go out to attack the city, but Yan's army is retreating steadily. Many small cities that originally belonged to Yan have been captured by Yao Qin. But it doesn't look like it will last long.He wanted to ask Ren Zhen to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation, so that he could personally go to the front line to take over the command, but who knew that the people he sent were sent back without even seeing the emperor, so he couldn't help being suspicious.

Seeing that Murong Yong's expression was not right, the visitor said again: "The emperor sent the last general back, and he also attached a secret decree, please submit it to the general."

Murong Yong raised his eyebrows, and suspiciously took the three-inch plain silk that was sewn into the belt by the guards. He unfolded it and saw that the entire text was written in simplified characters—Ren Zhen can read and write Xiaozhuan without any serious problems, so he deliberately transcribed the simplified characters. Wen Gai is the only one in the world who can fully understand it, and using this as a code, it is undoubtedly Ren Zhen's true meaning——

After a while, Murong Yong finished reading, rubbed the piece of plain silk tightly, and said lightly: "Understood, let's go down."

He was silent for a while in the room alone, and finally got up and burned the secret decree.Ren Zhen's meaning was very clear, he wanted to go to Guzang with Lu Guang for a while, and ordered him to send troops to attack Yao Qin together.As for the current battle at Xiaoguan—"Family affairs are related, you can handle it yourself." Heh...he simply let it go and let him take full responsibility.

Since ancient times, the ministers have been entrusted wholeheartedly by the monarch, what a blessing!But from Murong Yong's point of view, there is no deep meaning in every word - he let me figure it out!Chang'an, Murong, Dayan, I care, but he doesn't care.Just like two opponents in a game, as soon as I make a move, I have already lost the opportunity.

Worry about gains and losses so far, playing this game of chess, the only loss.

He opened the door and called out loudly, "Come here."

The important place in the study has his own confidant to accompany him, so he hastily appeared at this moment to agree.Murong Yong turned back to the book case, dipped his pen and ink, finished writing a letter in a leisurely manner, and handed it to the person who came: "Hurry up and send this letter to General Yang in Tongguan—" He suddenly stopped, as if in a daze Staring at the man, he still refused to finish his sentence.

What he really wanted was for Ren Zhen to come back, and to tell him that Guzang was in the Longtan and Tiger's Den. If his identity were exposed, he might become a hostage for Houliang to attack Chang'an and destroy Dayan. Back then, there was no need to be suspicious, no need to be wary, and no need to be careful at every step!But he couldn't do it anymore, he couldn't impress or even threaten Ren Zhen in the slightest, because he had no weakness, but he had—as the letter said, he was "family related".

Numbly, he reached out his hand to feel the half-queen tiger talisman at his waist, sealed it in a sandalwood box and pushed it slowly and heavily, almost gnashing his teeth every word: "Bring this thing to General Yang as well, and order him to send it to you soon." The defense of Tongguan was handed over to the lieutenant general... went to Xiaoguan to receive the military power, and the governor to fight on the northern front."
