Chapter 115 Dragon City (2)

The situation where Murong Nai and Murong Nai joined together came to an end with Murong Nai's death. However, the long battle did not end there. It is said that before the fall of Daji City, several Murong Nai's loyal subordinates protected his youngest son Murong Longcheng, who was still young. Although this group of people was small, they were all brave and warlike elites, loyal and determined to take revenge. They called the young master and insisted on confronting Murong Nai. Murong Nai deployed troops several times, but they were still unable to escape the fate of these gangs who fled in the northern part of the border. The situation of the entire Murong Xianbei tribe was never truly stable.

Years passed in a blink of an eye, and the undersides of Murong Nai's accomplices were gradually withering. But Murong Tao discovered that Murong Nai's youngest son Murong Longcheng, who was already an adult, was also a terrible opponent.

Murong Long City once attacked Murong Ling, who was out of the light cavalry, so Murong Ling was seriously injured and died. He also rode alone among the crowd to kill Sun Ding, a capable general who led his army to conquer Fuyu, causing the 50,000 Xianbei army to flee overnight. Since the Yongkang period, the elusive Murong Long City has assassinated Murong Ling himself and his subordinates, and the heroes above ten of thousands of cavalry died in more than ten people under the sword of Murong Long City. Murong Ling's management of the tribe has been paralyzed several times. Over several years, the name of the black-clad assassin Murong Long City has spread throughout the northern border, which is terrifying.

Murong Jie tried every means to deal with Murong Longcheng. He mobilized the elite iron-armored guards to set up an ambush, but Murong Longcheng killed one person at a time and easily broke through the siege. He also paid a lot of money to invite heroes of all races to serve as guards, but the so-called unparalleled warriors soon turned into souls. Murong Jie was helpless and even sent an envoy to negotiate with Murong Longcheng in order to seek reconciliation. But the next day, the head of the envoy was actually hung on the head of Changli City!

Although these characters are mere assassins, they can affect the situation of the giant tribes in the northern border, which is very comparable. As the Taishi Gong said: "This is either accomplished or not, but his intention is more reasonable and he does not deceive his ambitions and is famous for his future generations. Isn't it a rude thing!"

Shao Xu coughed lightly and said slowly: "Although Changshan bandits are powerful, they are just a mustard moss in the eyes of the court. Therefore, during the decades of repetition of documents, no one has specifically mentioned who the leader was. Hu Village Lord, you can be sure that the leader of Changshan bandits is Murong Longcheng.

Hu Liuniang naturally had his own unique news channels. If that is the case, it would be certain. Shao Xu's words were still polite. The officials of the court were used to deceive the superiors and concealing the subordinates. Among the official documents, there were not only bandits, but also all bandits in Dai County. When the Jin Dynasty was clear and the sea was peaceful, and the martial arts and culture were at the same time, it was a trivial matter that was enough to defile the nobles of the court! At most, it would be just a word that the people in Dai County were fierce. How could such a court have mastered the local situation to the Hu Dazhai master of Funiu Village?

The court was confused about the leader of the Changshan bandits, but there were rumors about Taihang Green Forest. It is said that this person claimed to be Mu, and was very young. During the Yongning period, he and more than 100 subordinates entered Changshan. After several years of operation, he gradually became one of the top thieves among the Changshan thieves. In the ninth year of Yuankang, due to the unstable roads in Daidi, Shi Qi, who was the governor of Youzhou, sent ten thousand troops to clean up. As the court army knew, all the thieves were dispersed. However, when the soldiers arrived in Pan County, they were destroyed by this young man surnamed Mu with 800 light cavalry. As a result, the Changshan bandits were in great difficulty, and all the Hus in Dai County were intimidated. They were all honored as the "master leader" and were not named.

Is this Murong Long City the leader of the thieves in Changshan?

"Murong Wei racked his brains to search Murong Nai's remaining troops for many years, but he still couldn't detect their stronghold. If Murong Long City was the leader of Changshan bandits, this could explain. The Murong Xianbei's forces were concentrated in Pingzhou and Yingzhou, and Murong Nai's remaining troops were lurking in the westernmost end of Youzhou. The two were thousands of miles apart. How could Murong Xianbei's hands reach so far? But how did they get involved with Duan Xianbei?" The inside story behind the Changshan bandits was really complicated. After a long time, everyone returned to the original topic.

Chu Kun finally finished cooking the horse meat, brought a basin to distribute it one by one, and the rich meat fragrance came to his nose. Hu Liuniang picked up a small piece in her hand and continued, "Duan tribe, Murong, are both a strong clan of the Xianbei region in the eastern region. The two families have intertwined their spheres of influence, so they have been fighting openly and secretly, and have always been dissatisfied. Even though the Murong family has received the position of Xianbei governor for generations, they are also extremely afraid of the Duan tribe. When the Murong family and the Murong family were in conflict, Murong Li married the daughter of Duan tribe, Duan tribe, the chief of Duan tribe, to show their respect for Duan tribe. However, when Murong Nai was strong, Duan tribe had limited support for Murong Li; when Murong Nai died and Murong Li unified the Murong Xianbei, Duan tribe was generous to Murong Li's remaining troops. The practices at both ends were all to suppress and weaken the power of Murong Xianbei."

She looked at everyone around her and said in a more intense tone: "The Duan tribe has put so much effort into maintaining this group of Murong Nai's remnants just to make things difficult for Murong. Murong Long City is a powerful figure and has the support of Duan tribe. Therefore, the strength of Changshan bandits has expanded rapidly over the years. They acted recklessly in the vast areas from Juyang to Wangtao in the east, and no one dared to touch his edge."

"In other words, Changshan bandits and Duan tribes seem to be separated from the east and west ends of Dai County, but they are actually one family. Changshan bandits are just a knife held by Duan tribe?" Xue Tong asked in contemplation.

"As General Xue said." Hu Liuniang bowed slightly.

"Since that's the case... Changshan bandits have already attacked, will Duan's troops also take action? This is a bit beyond our expectations..." Ding Miao frowned rarely: "What's more, Duan's Xianbei hero Duan Shefuchen's tribe was stopped in Juyang and Juyong's area. If he took the light cavalry straight to Luochuan and arrived in the morning and evening, what should he do?"

Ding Miao's words were vaguely questioning. He was the 2,000-stone general whose status was no less than that of Lu Yao. Among all the people, he was the only one who dared to do so.

Lu Yao's army fought in Dai County. As Tuoba Xianbei was busy preparing for the ceremony of worshiping the sky, and when the surrounding areas were holding their breath, Dai County, which was in the cracks between the strong tribes, was completely stirred up a pot of porridge. The prerequisite for this was that the strong tribes in the northern border, such as Duan's tribe, would not intervene in large numbers. Therefore, they could seize the county before the internal struggle of the Tuoba Xianbei was settled, and integrate it into another important town in the northern border against the Hu tribe.

But now, the Changshan bandits who were manipulated by the Duan tribe of the Xianbei have reacted so violently. Who dares to assert that the Duan tribe will not follow up? The prerequisites set by Lu Yao are already shaking. Once the Duan tribe takes some measures, not to mention whether Lu Yao can defeat this powerful Hu tribe, just that the Duan tribe intervenes in the Dai County war itself will trigger a huge commotion in the prefectures and counties along the northern border.

When Lu Yao met with Ding Shao, he promised that Dai County would be able to stabilize and shock the Hu people. His previous battles were just an official army to suppress bandits, with a small scale and limited connection. But no matter how you look at the current situation, it seems that you are about to slide into the abyss of chaos.

It should be noted that since the civil strife of the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court had already failed to implement the power of the prefectures and counties in the northern border, and the weakness was gradually understood by the Hu tribe. At this time when the army of Jizhou went south to quell the chaos, if there were any major events in Dai County, it would inevitably affect the whole body and even shake the overall situation in Hebei... How could Ding Miao not be anxious for this series of consequences!

Ding Miao has never been a cunning and deep personality. His joys and angers are all reflected in his colors. He will say whatever he thinks in his heart. This time, he questioned in front of the soldiers, Xue Tong, Chen Jin and others immediately lowered their faces.

But Lu Yao seemed to think that Ding Miao's anxiety was not enough.

He pulled the black short beard under his jaw and slowly said, "Well, Wenhao, don't worry. There is another thing that I have to explain to you."

"Please tell me."

"According to the news spread by the bandits of Changshan, a few days ago, they captured a team of court officials while plundering a caravan in the Feihuyu Mountain Road. They claimed that they were the envoys who represented Yue Shigong to visit Danhan Mountain and participated in the Tuoba Xianbei sacrifice ceremony. The leader was Wen Qiao and Wen Taizhen... Well, Brother Wen Hao, don't look like this, that's it. Wen Taizhen has fallen into the hands of the thief."
