Chapter 149 Let's Support Dayan Together

Chang'an fell and King Liang proclaimed himself emperor.

Such explosive news naturally spread throughout the world quickly, just like the bloody wind from Jingzhao Prefecture.

After Murong Zhan proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately appointed Yuwen She, the former governor of Bingzhou, as the General of Chariots and Cavalry and ordered him to lead his army to Tongguan to assist in the defense.

The daughter of Tuoba clan was canonized as the empress. Tuoba Yuqing, Duke of Dai, was appointed as the General of the Northern Expedition and the commander-in-chief of all military affairs in Bingzhou.

Tuoba's brothers, nephews and nephews were also rewarded.

The lineage of Duke Chen of the Yuwen clan, his mother's family, whom he had joined at the beginning of his uprising, including his uncle Yuwen Chengye and his great-uncle Yuwen Kan, were all conferred the title of Duke.

Yuwen Chengye was also appointed as the General of Cavalry and the Commander-in-Chief of all military forces at home and abroad.

In accordance with the previous agreement, he ceded the five counties of Wuyuan, Shuofang, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Mayi to the Turks, and accepted the enthronement of the Turkic Khan, becoming the "Chang'an Khan".

The king of Jiangling, Murong Jian, who opened the gate, was also named the General of Zhennan.
Pei Hongde, the former You Pushe, was appointed Shangshu Ling and co-minister of Zhongshu Menxia, ​​in an undisguised attempt to win over and show goodwill.

Pei Hongde also accepted Murongzhan's gift and became the prime minister of "Western Yan". The Luoyang people were called "Eastern Bandits".

Li Yuanhui heard the news when he just entered Yingchuan. He was very sad after learning that Murong He, Pang Lingxun, Gao Huizong and others had all died martyrs.

In addition to being the matchmaker between him and Murong Jiayin, Murong He also recommended and promoted him.

In this era, it is equivalent to a teacher.

As for Pang Lingxun, he was truly his teacher.

Although they didn't formally become his apprentices, Pang Lingxun taught him everything he knew, including how to set up camp, how to march, and how to deal with emergencies.
He passed on all his past battle experience to him without reservation.

As for Gao Huizong, he also met him during the suppression of Yang Xun's rebellion, so they could be considered a comrade-in-arms.

After setting up a mourning hall in Yangdi to pay tribute, before Li Yuanhui could leave, the King of Wu arrived from Xuchang.

They came very secretly. Murong Yang came with a small entourage, only a few dozen guards, riding horses all the way from Xuchang.

So he looked unkempt.

Li Yuanhui had already boarded a boat on the Ying River, preparing to go back by boat instead of riding a horse. When he saw Murong Yang coming, he took him directly to the cabin.

"Silang, I thought you wouldn't see me," Murong Yang sighed.

Li Yuanhui said, "Why do you say that? Your Majesty is my wife's brother, and he is no different from my brother. It's just because the military situation in Jianghuai is urgent that I'm in a hurry to go back. Otherwise, I would definitely go back to Xuchang to see you, Your Majesty."

"Time reveals a person's true character. Silang, I have something to ask you."

Li Yuanhui said hurriedly: "My king, let me make it clear first, if you want to imitate Liang Ni, let's pretend we haven't met today, and don't tell me."

Murong Yang said helplessly: "What are you thinking about, Silang?"

Li Yuanhui explained: "Your Majesty, Dayan is in a time of trouble. In the west, the Liang rebels have declared themselves emperor, in the east, the Wagang rebels, in the south, the pseudo-Wei, and in the north, the Turks are eyeing us covetously. If you still want to add fuel to the fire during this critical moment, the foundation left by the late emperor will be completely ruined."

Murong Yang said: "I really don't have that intention. Even if I do, I have no soldiers or generals. What can I do? I just want to ask you, is there any room for recovery in the current situation of Dayan?"

Li Yuanhui said: "In the Former Han Dynasty, there was the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and the Wei Dynasty had three horses feeding the trough. In the end, wise rulers and wise ministers turned the tide. Today, the situation in Dayan is far less precarious than that of Han and Wei. It is time for us to do our best to serve the country."

After all the attacks, Li Yuanhui felt that he was a loyal minister of Dayan, and Murong Yang, who was being PUA, also showed determination.

"Thank you Silang for clearing up my doubts. I will return to the court soon and ask to join the army to defeat the Liang rebels."

Murong Yang bowed to show that he had learned the lesson, then turned around and left gracefully.

Li Yuanhui looked at his back, sighed helplessly, and thought to himself: Brother-in-law, just calm down in this mess! Those people haven't done anything yet, and Great Yan will be finished soon. If they show their power, even your great grandfather, Emperor Wu of Yan, Murong Yi, will not be able to control the situation.
"I don't know what my second brother is busy with now. According to his temper, he should be going to Longxi to recruit troops."

Li Yuanhui's casual guess was the truth. Li Er led a dozen personal guards across Longshan Mountain and rushed back to Xiangwu, the capital of Longxi County, in half a month.

He took the military order signed by Murong He before leaving and went to see the new governor, Cui Yanguang, and took back the more than 2,000 cavalrymen he had previously commanded.

Cui Yanguang also knew that this was actually against the rules. After all, it was the imperial decree that transferred Li Erlang to Chang'an, and now this man had returned with the military order from the governor of Yongzhou.

But now this rule is not important. It will take a long time for Luoyang's decree to be delivered.

Even whether it can be delivered is another matter.

Cui Yanguang was born into the Qinghe Cui family. His grandfather was a close adviser to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Murong Yi, and was known as "my Zifang", Duke Baima Cui Can.

Murong Yi listened to Cui Can's advice and after the founding of the country, he served as high-ranking officials such as Shizhong, Shangshu Ling, and Situ.

After becoming the governor of Longxi, Cui Yanguang also learned about the situation in the county. Li Erlang had great prestige in the Longxi army and was on good terms with the nearby Qiang and Hu tribes. In other words, Cui Yanguang knew that it didn't matter whether he allowed Li Erlang to capture his people or not.

If someone wants it, they can take it back.

However, Cui Yanguang's face would not look good by then, and having been taught by his grandfather since childhood, he could vaguely see the current situation.

The world was originally a pot of water that was about to boil. Before Murong Ying died, he urgently pulled out a few pieces of firewood from the stove, and it seemed that it was not so hot anymore.

But after he died, his good sons added a few more pieces of firewood into the stove, and now the water is just one step away from boiling.

When the news that Murong Zan had seized Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor reached Longyou, Cui Yanguang immediately felt that the water had begun to boil.

How long it will last, no one knows.

"Erlang, Chang'an has been lost and King Gaoyang has died for his country. Will the court order our border troops in Longyou to march to Guanzhong next?"

In the camp in Xiangwu City, after Li Er was transferred to the court, his cousin Li Xiaocha, who came to Longxi to take up a post, took the newly arrived military report and placed it on Li Er's desk.

The other people in the account were all shocked when they heard this and stood up and gathered around.

Li Er was unmoved. He waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, then picked up the military newspaper and started reading.

After reading it, he handed it to his cousin Dou Cong and asked them to pass it around.

"The fall of Guanzhong has caused the imperial court to issue an edict. The shortest route is to start from Luoyang, pass through the Funiu Mountains, go to Nanyang County, and then take the Han River, follow the Han River to Shangyong, pass through Hanzhong, and take the Qishan Road. It will take at least two months."

"In Longyou, the four counties of Longxi, Nangan, Tianshui, and Guangwei can only send out more than 10,000 troops at most. If Liang rebels, relying on the terrain of Longshan and the advantage of cavalry, it will be easy to defeat them. If we use these 10,000 troops to attack Guanzhong, it will be just a drop in the bucket. Unless we unite the troops of Shuzhong, Anding, and Hexi, there is still a chance to succeed."

"But if Guanzhong is lost, the prestige of the Luoyang court will be destroyed. It is still unknown whether the generals and governors in Longyou, Shuzhong, and Hexi will still obey the orders of the court."

After Li Er expressed his views, everyone fell silent. These people were all Li's followers, clansmen, in-laws, and old friends.

One glory and one glory.

However, they are now facing such a chaotic situation. For a moment, they are a little confused about the current situation and are not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Li family.

Dou Cong, the cousin, asked, "Erlang, what do you think we should do now?"

Li Er did not say anything at first when he heard this, but thought deeply for a moment.

It was obvious that the situation in the world was already boiling. My father was in Shu, and my fourth brother was in Jianghuai, each of them had tens of thousands of troops.

However, Shu is a country surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is a natural obstacle. If Ayeruo leaves Shu and responds in Longyou, he will have a great chance to enter Guanzhong and recover Chang'an.

Guanzhong is now in the hands of Murong Zan. Isn't it the right time to suppress the rebellion and support Dayan?

As for the name and surname of the enemy after the conquest of Guanzhong, that is not up to Murong.
