The legacy of the ancients loves Murong Ke, Huanwen defeats Fangtou in the Northern Expedition

Murong Jun passed away in 360, his son Murong Wei was the emperor, and he was amnesty in the territory, renamed Jianxi, and made his mother, Kezu Hun, the empress dowager. Ren Murongke assisted King Murongwei for Dazai and Records of Books.

Murong Wei is a mediocre person compared to his grandfather. Fang Xuanling waits for the "Book of Jin" to record: Jing Mao is a mediocre person who is not close to work, virtuous, and rebellious. Wei is both mediocre and weak, and the state affairs are tied to Ke. The Ke mentioned here is his uncle, assistant minister Murong Ke.

Murong Ke not only contributed to the former Yan Han, but also stabilized the country's politics with humility and grace when assisting Murong Wei, making the country relatively stable.

Kill Mu Yugen

Murong Wei is mediocre and weak, and all major national affairs are entrusted to Murong Ke. Mu Yugen, who is also an auxiliary minister, relied on his meritorious service, hated Murong Ke's leadership of the court, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to cause chaos. Mu Yugen first instigated Murong Ke to rebel. Of course, who was Murong Ke, he scolded Mu Yugen. After Murong Ke knew these words of Mu Yugen, Murong Chui persuaded Murong Ke to kill Mu Yugen. Instead, Murongke spoke for Mu Yugen. Forget it, they are all auxiliary ministers who can’t kill each other and can tolerate him for the time being. .

In fact, Mu Yugen urged Murong Ke to rebel. The real idea was to make Qian Yan mess up and profit from his own good fisherman, but he never expected Murong Ke to ignore him at all. So Mu Yugen had to do it himself, and Mu Yugen and Mu Yugan conspired to kill Murong Ke and Murong Ping and usurp the throne. They went to Murong Wei and said: Murong Ke wants to rebel, please let me quell the chaos. Although Murong Wei is mediocre and not a fool, how can he believe the words of your surname, Murong Wei is also very clear about Murong Ke's behavior. Mu Yugen himself had no brains, so Murong Wei sent people to arrest Mu Yugen and others and killed them at random.

Murong Wei appointed Murong Li, the king of Xia Pi, as the governor of the conquest, and hurriedly transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses to fight Huan Wen at the Huangxu. Murong Li was defeated and the entire army was wiped out. Immediately, the former Yan Gaoping prefect Xu Fan surrendered to the Jin army. Murong Wei hurriedly appointed Murong Zang to replace Murong Li and led the troops and horses to intercept, but the Jin army was so powerful that Murong Zang was unable to parry and retreated steadily. Immediately, Huanwen's army arrived at Fangtou, which was no more than a hundred miles away from Yecheng, the former capital of Yan State.

Seeing that Huanwen is about to hit the capital of the country, the emperor and ministers want to run back to their hometown, so Murongchui He took the initiative to stand up to fight Huan Wen, but there was no way for Murong Wei to let Murong Chui lead his troops to fight Huan Wen.

Murongchui is also a famous general. When he arrives at Houyan, he will pay attention to introducing him. In short, Murongchui cautiously fought Huan Wen at the airport. Xiaoyou won the battle and reversed the losing streak and stabilized Qianyan's military spirit. The problem of grain in the Northern Expedition of Huan Wen has always been a big problem, so Huan Wen excavated water to transport grain in Shimen. Murongchui's headquarters and Huanwen fought, and Murongde went to Shimen to prevent the Jin army from opening water transportation. Yuzhou governor Li Yun broke the Jin army's food road again. Huanwen repeatedly fought badly and had insufficient food, and finally withdrew by land in September.

After Huanwen withdrew, Murongchui ordered an attack, and the cavalry accelerated to pursue the Jin army. With Murongde's ambush in Xiangyi, Murongchui defeated Huanwen at random, killing 30,000 men. The former Qin soldiers led by Gouchi of the former Qin Dynasty also attacked Huanwen in Qiaoguo, killing and wounding tens of thousands.
