Chapter 1 The rising sun Chapter 8
Ke Ji looked in his forties, with short beards on his face and bright eyes.
At this moment, he was sitting in the big tent, eating a plate of barbecue alone in a depressed manner. He didn't like to make a big fuss with his subordinates and drink and eat meat. He felt that it was upset, which affected his eating mood.
In the past, when he was with Murong Feng, he was a very cheerful person who liked lively, but since he betrayed Murong Feng, he found that he was becoming more and more withdrawn and liked to live a life of living alone.
After catching Murong Feng, he was afraid to see the general's eyes that despise him, so he never went to see it once. It happened that civil strife occurred in Zhexi's tribe, and he took the opportunity to lead the troops out of Hudu. The king and even let him do whatever he wanted.
When Ke thought of He Lian, he was most discouraged. He Lian was too unsatisfied.
Helian is Tan Shihuai's second son. This man is not good at fighting, but if it comes to conspiracy, no one among the Xianbei tribe is his opponent. Tan Shihuai's eldest son Huai Tong is brave and good at fighting, and has outstanding military achievements. Under the circumstances at that time, the position of the Xianbei king was not Helian. But the world is unpredictable, and no one would have expected that the eldest king Tan Shihuai, who was in his prime, would suddenly die. When Tan Shihuai died, Huai Tong and Murong Fengzheng led their troops to fight with the Dingling tribe in the north. Helian immediately killed all those who opposed him in the capital.
The civil officials and military generals easily sat in the position of the King of Xianbei Kingdom. After Huai Tong knew about it, she didn't say a word and thought about it for several days. Finally, he convinced Murong Feng that he was unwilling to break up the country that King Tan Shihuai and them had suffered more than 20 years of hardships and sacrificed the lives of more than 100,000 people for the sake of a throne. So he ignored Murong Feng's strong opposition and took three hundred servants back to the capital to attend Tan Shihuai's funeral, and wished his succession to ascend the throne.
Just as Murong Feng predicted, how could Helian believe that Huai Tong would give up the throne? He judged a gentleman with a villain's heart and would never let Huai Tong go. Huai Tong himself understood, so he committed suicide after getting Helian's promise not to kill his wife and children. Huai Tong is great. He was willing to sacrifice his life for the great cause of unification of the Xianbei people.
He Lian eliminated his great troubles and began his great cause of governing the country. However, He Lian did not have the ability to govern the country. He Lian had all the evil deeds of a foolish monarch: greed for money, lust, cruel and bloodthirsty, nepotism, judge right and wrong based on his own likes and dislikes, and listened to the slander of treacherous villains. The next thing was very natural. Many tribes were overly bullied and began to rebel. Therefore, the more suppressed it, the more rebelled tribes there were. Such a vicious cycle caused the Xianbei Kingdom to greatly reduce its strength and was unable to conquer the world and expand its territory.
One of the most wrong things Helian did was to force Murong Feng, the commander-in-chief at that time, to rebel. Because he lost this Xianbei general who could fight for war, more than half of the tribes in the Xianbei State rebelled against the Danhanshan Wang Ting in less than a few years. Helian didn't know that under the praise of a group of slander ministers surrounding him, he thought that his civil and military skills were better than his father Tan Shihuai, so he had a sudden idea to find Ke Zui, to completely eliminate Murong Feng who gathered to rebel, and add a strong point to his great achievements. Ke Zui was shocked at the time. Murong Feng would have burned the incense if he didn't come to cause trouble for himself. With his ability to destroy Murong Feng, he would not have been seeking death.
Seeing his panic, He Lian called him a coward. Ke Zui was very angry and gritted his teeth and agreed. As a result, this conspirator who was scolded like an idiot gave him a wonderful strategy to lure the enemy. This plan was almost perfect, which made Ke most amazed.
There is no meaning to destroy Murong Feng. How big a wave can a person cause? The key is to eliminate Murong Feng's rebel troops. Ke thinks that the king and Lian are very reasonable. Helian tells Ke the most, you spend money to bribe Murong Feng's friends and capture Murong Feng. Ke is shocked. How is this possible? If Murong Feng could be caught like this, he would have killed Murong Feng long ago. Seeing Ke's most surprised look, Helian laughed. Money. You bribed others too little money and had no temptation, so you can never succeed. This time I paid. Ke was happiest.
He Lian said again, you can bribe Murong Feng's subordinates and let them rescue Murong Feng. Ke is the most confused. He finally caught Murong Feng but let him go. What is this plan? He didn't know what He Lian wanted to do in the end, and he didn't think about it anymore, so he just listened attentively.
Helian said, you sent thousands of soldiers to pursue him, causing a tense situation of crisis until all Murong Feng's rebels were transferred out of Dayan Mountain. By then, everyone who is Murong Feng's friend and Murong Feng's enemy would all surface. The matter behind it was very simple, and he would siege and annihilate him. Ke most believed that Helian's plan was good. Even if he could not catch Murong Feng and could not completely wipe out Murong Feng's rebels, he could still get a considerable amount of money from the king. This plan would be beneficial to him without any harm. Ke most immediately acted according to the plan. So far, everything was carried out in a dangerous manner according to Helian's arrangement.
He Lian was very angry when he saw Ke Ji led his troops away from Hu to quell the civil strife in Zhexi. He sent someone to scold him. If you want to preserve your strength, don’t do it so obviously. You, the Central Xianbei Lord, probably don’t want to do it anymore. It’s better not to do it. Lord Queju of Changlu Tribe, happened to have this meaning. Lord Menglizhe of Qiming Tribe is more willing to take on the heavy responsibility of the Central Xianbei Lord. After Murong Feng bows his head and takes it, you can let the virtuous.
Ke was helpless and secretly brought the troops back to Duxi near Hudu to station, ready to set out to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression of the king and company at any time. As for the task of pursuing Murong Feng, he had already handed over to his younger brother Ke Ye.
Late at night, a fast horse ran towards him, and the sound of horse hooves that were as dense as raindrops came from far away, awakening Ke Zui, who had just fallen asleep.
"grown ups……"
The messenger kneeling on the ground hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping. Ke looked at the sad expression on his face the most, and an ominous thought arose. He suddenly thought of Ke Ye.
"Tell me. There will be no big deal, right?" Ke Zui comforted the messenger kneeling on the ground, and seemed to be comforting himself.
"Sir, the three thousand cavalry of Keye Xiaoshou was wiped out in Mazuipo this afternoon."
Ke almost didn't believe his ears, "Koye, this fool, didn't I ask him to follow Murong Feng? Who asked him to provoke Murong Feng? Damn, what about this fool? Let me come and see me."
"Sir, Ke Ye's little coach was also killed."
Ke was shocked the most. He looked at the messenger and asked again: "Where is Keye?"
"Sir, Ke Ye's little coach has been killed."
Ke Ji looked at the cowhide tent blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
Ke Zui concentrated five thousand main forces and suddenly began to exert force and chased the wild geese. If Murong Feng wanted to return to Dayan Mountain as fast as possible, the wild geese would be the only way to go.
Murong Feng led the iron cavalry to the wild geese. Scouts from all walks of life were shuttled back and forth like a lantern.
Murong Feng sat under a big tree, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. Li Hong stood quietly behind him, looking around from time to time.
These days, Murong Feng and Li Hong often sit together and chat.
Murong Feng's subordinates, including the closest Gongsun Hu, Wu Leopard and Iron Wolf, have always been respectful to Murong Feng and dare not go beyond it, let alone sit together and chat, but Li Hong is different. Li Hong admires him very much and always surrounds him like a child. Murong Feng also likes him very much and always answers questions and questions... That love comes from sincerity, not because Li Hong saves him.
Murong Feng himself also likes to chat with Li Hong. Li Hong seems to be very knowledgeable before losing his memory. His analysis and judgment of things are often different from ordinary people. Murong Feng thinks that Li Hong’s unique and fresh insights are very helpful to him.
After the battle at Mazuipo, Li Hong suddenly became interested in marching and formation. Every day after dinner, he would stay in Murong Feng's tent to ask for advice. Murong Feng seemed to be sincere in teaching him, and he never tire of teaching his decades of marching and formation and combat experience. At the same time, Murong Feng was surprised to find that this was his first summary of his life in decades. The successes and failures over the past few decades made Murong Feng gradually understand many of his shortcomings in military and political affairs. On the basis of summarizing successful experiences, Murong Feng corrected and improved many of his inappropriate military and political affairs.
"Leopard, are you good at killing this Keye?" Murong Feng suddenly opened his eyes and said to Li Hong with a smile. Li Hong didn't understand what he meant and waited for him to continue speaking.
"Ke was most angry. He brought the iron cavalry to approach us at the fastest speed. According to common sense, he should advance in unison with Queju's army, the company's army, and Menglizhe's army, and finally suppress us to the area of Rushui River. On the east bank of Rushui River, Murong Ji's army is ready to go and give us a final blow at any time when we are most critical."
"Now Ke is only one day away from us, and he has already put aside the other three armies." Murong Feng smiled, "This is the best time for us to hit Ke hard."
"But, the general, the wild geese surrounded the flat horse, and there was no danger to defend at all, and there was no magical plan." Li Hong said, "We only have more than two thousand iron cavalry. To fight against Keji's five thousand army, it is no different to hit the stone with eggs."
Murong Feng nodded, "What if we also have a large army of 5,000 cavalry?"
"There must be a lot of casualties here. This is not a good idea."
"What are your ideas?" Murong Feng asked with a smile.
Li Hong knew that Murong Feng was deliberately testing him again. He thought carefully for a while and said carefully: "Tonight, Ke Zui's troops are likely to be stationed in Chenzi's circumference. Ke Zui came in a hurry, and the army was tired and needed to rest. Chen Zi's circumference was fifty miles away, so that he could not only give the soldiers enough rest, but also launch an attack on us tomorrow afternoon. This is the safest march route. I think if we attack him tonight, we might be able to succeed in one blow and achieve the heavy blow effect that the commander said."
Murong Feng didn't say anything, he stood up and walked around the big tree a few times. Li Hong didn't know if he was right, and looked at Murong Feng's cold face nervously.
"Chen Ziwei is very close to us, and Ke Zui's defense must be very tight. He will not give us a chance." Murong Feng said slowly.
“We can create opportunities without opportunities.”
"Oh." Murong Feng looked at him with interest, "You talk about it."
"Ke knows that we only have a little more than 2,000 people. He eliminated the minor injuries, and there were less than 2,000 people. He would not have thought that we really had the courage to go to the camp, so we sent a team of light cavalry to harass him first, and then harass him every half an hour until Ke is most paralyzed and ignores us. This is the best time to attack the camp at night. Da Zheng, what do you think of this method?"
Murong Feng circled around the big tree again, lowered his head and thought carefully.
Suddenly he shouted loudly at the messenger who was more than ten steps away from him, "Call some little coaches to come to me immediately."
Li Hong was very happy and said to Murong Feng: "Does the Grand Marshal think this method is OK?"
"Good solution." Murong Feng praised loudly, "After the attack is successful, I will give you a merit."
"If you remember merits, you'll be exempted. These are all taught by Dashang."
