Chapter 333 Murong Xianbei(1/2)

"I rude! My Murong tribe is a loyal vassal of the Great Jin Dynasty. How could I do such a thing that despises the imperial court!"

Hearing the fifteen-year-old legitimate son Murong Huang speak wildly, the Great Shanyu Murong Wei hurriedly said something and stopped.

Although Cui Wu, the governor of Pingzhou and the captain of Dongyi, is not as famous as Murong Wei, he is a chief official appointed by the Great Jin Xingtai after all.

Murong Jie was determined to conquer the people of Jin who fled, so he naturally had to act like he was loyal to the Jin family.

After hearing his father's scolding, Murong Huang had to restrain his youthful aura and sat next to him and stopped talking.

At this time, Murong Yun, the younger brother of the Xianbei Great Chanyu Murong's Great Pill, spoke.

"Brother, our department has accepted a lot of refugee soldiers and civilians. If we can't occupy more acres of land, once we miss the farming time, we may not be able to support so many people next year!"

Murong Wei has always trusted this younger brother, and what Murong Yun said is indeed an important matter.

At this time, Murong Yun continued to say.

"Brother, I think what Wannian nephew said makes sense. Now that Wang Jun is defeated, the Zao Song Duan tribe has caused war in Youzhou again, and his reputation is in vain. The governor Cui, who just came to Liaodong, is just a resource for the middle-aged man and is unable to control the chaotic Liaodong."

"In this way, it's time for my brother to show his strategy!"

After hearing this, Murong Wei stroked his short beard and began to think.

Although the Murong tribe is becoming stronger and stronger in Liaodong, it is a nominal subordinate of the Great Jin Dynasty and must obey the orders of the governor of Pingzhou and the Dongyi School Captain. In this way, although the Murong Xianbei is strong, other Goguryeo, Yuwen Xianbei, many of the sub-subsidiaries Xianbei, Liang Bi, etc. can unite to resist the Murong Xianbei with the help of the Dongyi School Captain.

"That third brother thinks, what should we do?" Murong Ling asked.

Today, Murong Jie wants to get rid of the constraints of the governor of Pingzhou, expand the occupied territory and absorb the refugee population, but he does not want to offend Pingzhou Governor Cui Liyan too early, otherwise it will be unfavorable to recruit those scholars from Hebei who fled.

After all, Cui Wei was born into the Cui family in Qinghe, while Murong Wei was just a barbarian. He could only bear it temporarily and wait for his strength and fame to further enhance.

"Brother, the pseudo-Han of Qingzhou in the Central Plains is now not inferior to the Hu Han of Bingzhou. The scholars and people who fled to our Liaodong are all loyal to the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, I think my brother should follow the example of Duke Huan of Qi and take the banner of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians" and support the Jin Dynasty in Ming Dynasty to attack the pseudo-Han of Qingzhou, so as to gather the virtuous people among the people and fight against the villains who are not obeying orders!"

The Murong Xianbei is worthy of being the most respectful tribe among the Eastern Xianbei. When Murong Yun’s second son was a tribe, he offered advice to Murong’s lord, all kinds of allusions came from the mouth.

"Respecting the king and expelling the barbarians?"

Murong Ling whispered and thought about it seriously.

With a little thought, Murong Wei knew that this trick "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians" was very suitable.

Once the banner of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians" is put forward, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and the governor of Pingzhou is just a minister of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, so he cannot restrict Murong Xianbei too much.

Moreover, if we want to implement the "expelling the barbarians", we must send troops in real terms. Today, the governor of Pingzhou Cui Lige has almost no available troops and ultimately has to rely on the Murong Xianbei.

"What my third brother said is indeed a good strategy!" Murong Ling said.

"However, our Murong tribe lives far away from Liaodong, and is separated from the pseudo-Han of Qingzhou and across the Beihai, how can we send troops?"

Murong Ling knew that this so-called "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians" was just an excuse, and the fundamental purpose was to get rid of the suppression of Pingzhou Governor Cui Liyan.

However, after placing the banner, we always have to act like "sponsoring troops to attack", otherwise even a three-year-old child would not be able to protect him.

After hearing Murong Wei’s question, Murong Yun grinned and smiled softly.

"Brother, we don't need to send troops to attack Qingzhou. Even if we want to attack Qingzhou, the boys from the Duan tribe in the west will definitely not dare to use the passage for us!"

The Duan Xianbei and the Murong Xianbei have been in-laws in recent generations, and their relationship is closer than before the ordinary Xianbei tribes. For example, Murong's wife is the daughter of the Duan Xianbei chief.

However, with the rise of Duan tribe and Murong tribe at the same time, the two families gradually became more and more hostile to each other.

"Just not far from our Liaodong, there is a vassal of the pseudo-Han of Qingzhou. We can just send troops to attack us!" Murong Yun said very easily.

"The vassal of Qingzhou?" Murong Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of what Murong Yun referred to.

"Third brother, are you talking about Zhang Tong from Lelang and the two counties in the country?"

Murong Yun nodded and said.

"No, brother, it's Zhang Tong!"

"Lelang, the two counties of the Defang are close to Liaodong. Zhang Tong received the appointment of the governor of Liuyudong Pingzhou in Qingzhou and the Marquis of Jinyang. He had already betrayed the Jin army. As long as his brother raised an army to attack the two counties, he would definitely get the response from the counties and counties in Liaodong!"

"And, in the past two years, I heard that Zhang Tong not only resisted the encroachment of Goguryeo, but also plundered the Baekje Mahan Man in the past few years. The two counties of Lelang in the belt were quite prosperous. As long as Zhang Tong defeated Zhang Tong, at least tens of thousands of Dingkou and food!"

After hearing Murong Yun's analysis, the Great Shanyu Murong Wei was moved, but he spoke again.

"What my third brother said is indeed reasonable, but I and that Zhang Tong are friends. Although they are their own masters now, they may eventually lose their gentlemanly demeanor when sending troops to each other with rashness!"

Murong Wei lived in Liaodong for generations, and Zhang Tong followed his father to station in Liaodong since he was a child. Since he was young, the two have had a good relationship and have long been well known in Liaodong.

"Once the world thinks that I, Murong Kung, is unfaithful, will probably be unfavorable to recruit people!" Murong Kung said at the end.

"Haha, brother, don't worry, I have thought of this a long time ago." Murong Yun said.

"Brother, you can send it to Zhang Tong in a letter, and in which you can explain the righteousness and the interests of others, and persuade him to abandon the secret and turn to the light!"

"In this way, if the brother can abandon the secret and turn to the light after receiving the letter from his brother, the brother can accept tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians from the two counties to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty, wouldn't it be even more shocking! Those Confucian scholars who often said that "the army that is defeated without fighting" was the king. If this is the case, this would be a complete army that is defeated without fighting"!"

"What is this? This is the kingly way!"

"The king's way is with my brother. Then all the prefectures and counties in Liaodong will obey them?"

Murong Yun became more and more excited as he spoke, so he couldn't help but smile.

The other Murong leaders next to them also laughed one by one.

Murong Ling nodded happily.

Only Murong Yun could suppress his smile, snorted coldly, and continued.

"Hmph, but if Zhang Tong is not tactful and refuses to obey his brother's advice, he will be cutting off his own way out. In the future, no matter whether he is life or death, he will be unable to blame his brother."

"After all, since ancient times, it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, let alone the friendship between friends is more loyal and righteous!"

After hearing this, Murong Wei was completely relieved.

As long as you write a letter of persuasion to Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongpingzhou, the pseudo-Han of Qingzhou, and then send it out with great fanfare, whether Zhang Tong surrenders or resists stubbornly, the initiative will be in your own hands.

"Haha, okay! The third brother's talent is not inferior to those famous scholars in the high school!" Murong Wei approached Murong Yun very happily, patted Murong Yun's shoulder with his big hands, and said encouragemently.

"Wang King Zhou had Zhou Gongdan back then, and now I have third brothers. The future prosperity of Murong's tribe will not last long!"

After Murong Wei finished speaking, he turned around and said to the Murong Xianbei leaders in the room.

"You go back immediately to get some troops and prepare for the war!"

"Murong Han!" Murong Wei ordered his eldest son loudly.

"Sir, the child is here!" The young powerful Murong Han immediately stood up and obeyed the order.

"I'll order you to lead three thousand cavalry to go to Goguryeo first, so that those Goguryeo slaves will prepare in advance, and at least 10,000 troops will be sent to respond to our army!"

After hearing this, Murong Han did not immediately accept the order, but looked at his father Murong Ling with anticipation and asked.

"Sir, what if the Goguryeo people refuse to obey orders?"

The Xianbei Da Shanyu Murong Ling smiled contemptuously and said.

"If the Goguryeo barbarians refuse to obey orders, then you will lead your troops to slaughter a few cities, which is to force them to agree, and to avenge the old revenge that Goguryeo followed the Yuwen Xianbei to attack us!"

After hearing the permission of the massacre of the city, an excited expression appeared on the young Murong Han's face.

"Don't worry, if the Goguryeo barbarian refuses to obey, I will lead my army toward Marudu!"

After hearing the energetic response of the eldest son Murong Han of the Xianbei Shanyu Murong Ling nodded with satisfaction, and then couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Now the two 'pseudo-Hans' fights against the Central Plains, maybe the end of the two losers will be a result. If I can quickly take the five counties in Liaodong for myself, maybe my Murong tribe can also go south to the Central Plains in the future."

"Well, even if you can't compete for the world, you might be able to learn from Duke Huan of Qi, respect a emperor, and then become the overlord who slaughtered the world!"

Yanzhou, Luzicheng.

In late spring, the sun was already burning on her face, and the crops in the fields and trees on both sides of the road were also completely blooming green due to the rising temperature.

With the company of officials and personal guards, Liu Yu was patrolling the farmland outside the city and the military soldiers' responsibilities.

"Your Majesty, this year's spring rain is abundant, and the farming work in all prefectures and counties is very smooth now! If we calculate the harvest based on the best year before, the harvest in Jizhou and Yanzhou alone can be mostly for the military and civilians to spend in one year!"

Cui Yu, a senior farmer who had just arrived from Jizhou, couldn't wait to tell Liu Yu.

The rain in spring this year was just enough to save a lot of corvee and expenses in Jizhou and Yanzhou, which were disrepaired due to war and water conservancy ditches.

"This is the best. However, as a farmer in the Grand Corps, Cui Gong can clean up the agricultural affairs in Yanzhou and Jizhou, but you should not be too tired." Liu Yu couldn't help but feel sympathy when he saw Cui Yu, a Gao family member who had been tanned.

After hearing Liu Yu's praise, Cui Yu felt very happy, but his face was restrained and proud.

"Your Majesty, this is all my duty. Now the food, grass and supplies needed for the imperial army to fight, all the two states of Jizhou and Yanzhou need to be transported. I will ensure that there is no danger!"

Now Liu Yu's military use plan is far away from Qingzhou. In this way, the disadvantages of Qingzhou's trapped corners have emerged. No matter how much food is produced, once it is necessary to supply the war in the Central Plains, it must cross the obstacles of mountains and rivers. The food and manpower consumed along the way are definitely not cost-effective compared to the local supplies in Jizhou and Yanzhou.

"When the agricultural tax calculations are completed this year, by that time, I plan to promote literary education. Although wars are frequent, education of the people cannot be abandoned because of this!"

Liu Yu said while paying attention to the changes in Cui Yu's face.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the Grand Secretary Cui Yu immediately showed a very excited and expectant expression on his face.

Liu Yu smiled proudly in his heart and continued.

"A such an important thing requires a virtuous and respectable person who can serve in a solid manner to coordinate the agency!"

"And not only does it simply promote literature and educate the people, but it is also possible to identify outstanding people from prefectures and counties, and then entrust them with official positions."
