The most splendid battle of Shaomu Mountain in the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon, after Murong Fu was beaten by Duan Yu's Six-Pulse Excalibur, his face was lost, and he was knocked to the ground by Xiao Feng, who wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, but was stopped by Murong Bo, who appeared on the scene, saying: "Murong Hao, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Murong De, and Murong Longcheng were heroes in the Great Yan Kingdom, but unexpectedly they all became people without descendants."
Murong Fu and Murong Bo were both descendants of the Murong family, and had been campaigning for the family's great cause of restoring the country, and the "Great Yan" that wanted to be restored was a series of "Yan States" established by Murong Bu of the Xianbei clan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. The "Sanhe Zhuang" in Yanziwu and the family martial arts stunt "Sanhe Zhi" are a reminder to future generations to always remember the shame of the Xianbei Murong clan. In this battle, the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei tribe defeated the Xianbei Murong clan, and after the war, the Later Yan established by the Murong clan was defeated and defeated again and again, and was eventually destroyed by the Northern Wei established by the Tuoba clan.
After the Battle of Shuishui, both were successfully restored
The first "Yan state" established by the Xianbei tribe Murong Bu, known as Former Yan, was established by the tribal leader Murong Hao in 337 AD, and later in 370, it was destroyed by Former Qin.
In 315 AD, the leader Tuoba Yilu accepted the title of King of the Western Jin Dynasty, established the DaiGuo, and established the capital Shengle. In 376 AD, Jian Jian led an army of 300,000 to attack, killed Tuoba Yujun, and occupied the entire territory of the Dai kingdom, and the Dai kingdom was destroyed.
Before being unified by Former Qin, Tuoba's daiguo and Murong's Former Yan were also married to each other, which can be said to be close.
In 383, Jian Jian was defeated at the Battle of Shuishui, and Former Qin's northern unification collapsed. As a result, both the Tuoba clan and the Murong clan sought opportunities to restore the country.
Murong Chui
The leader who led Murong Chui's restoration was Murong Chui, who retreated with 30,000 troops during the Battle of Shuishui, and left Jianjian on the way in the name of Zhenfu Hebei. They defeated Jian Jian's eldest son, Gong Pi,000, and reinforcements from Liu Gao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In 384, Murong Chui made the capital Zhongshan and officially restored the kingdom, with the name of Yan and the historical name "Later Yan". This year, Murong Chui was already a 60-year-old man.
Tuoba Jue
After Fu Jian's defeat at the Battle of Shuishui, tuoba tribal leader Tuoba Jue was elected by the lords, and in the first month of 386, in the various departments of the Ushikawa Assembly, Tuoba Si took the throne, called the first year of the ascension of the kingdom, when he was only 15 years old. Soon, he moved to Shengle and rebuilt the Daiguo, and later changed the name of the country to Wei, which was called "Northern Wei" in history.
The newly restored Tuoba clan and the Murong clan can be said to be inseparable from friend and foe.
In the early days of the restoration, each of them was busy cleaning up their own portals
First of all, on the side of Tuoba Bu's daiguo, a month after the young Tuoba Jue changed the name of the country to the state of Wei, the Protector Of The Protector and the Yifu Clan of the subordinate tribes jumped out of the rebellion, and Tuoba Jue painstakingly managed to calm the civil strife of the subordinate tribes.
As soon as this side was stabilized, Tuoba Jue's uncle Gu Du began to attack his nephew Wei Guo, "so the various departments were in turmoil, and the people's hearts were concerned" Even the close attendants around him were eager to move. Forcing Tuoba Jue to flee to the Helan army, which had recently befriended him, he also sent people to Murong Chui to ask for reinforcements, and Murong Chui sent his son Murong He to lead 6,000 infantry and cavalry to help the army. The cave was lonely and finally defeated and killed. Murong He said goodbye to Emperor Daowu and returned to Zhongshan. From this, we can see that although Tuoba Jue is young, his wrists are flexible, and the key is to be able to bear the humiliation and burden.
After this battle, the cornerstone of the new Wei state was stabilized, and Tuoba Jue's successful restoration of the country exerted great efforts and vigorous expansion, defeating the Xianbei lone chieftains Liu Xian, Kumobu, Gaoche and Rouran, and their power increased day by day.
On Murong Shi's Later Yan side, in 384, when Murong Chui was in the process of restoring the kingdom, the rest of Murong Chui's family was not idle, and Murong Hong, Murong Chong, and others established a political power in Guanzhong, and the state name was also Yan, known in history as "Western Yan". From 393 onwards, Murong Chui sent two troops against Western Yan, taking over Western Yan's territory in full in 394. Don't look at Murong Chui as sixty years old, but his sword is not old, he is still invincible, he has expanded his territory, and it took ten years to conquer the north and rejuvenate the glory of the Yan kingdom, but he was also nearly ancient.
At this time, both sides had finished solving their own problems, and there was no room for two tigers in one mountain, and Murong Chui, the lord of Later Yan, felt that Tuoba Jue's strength was a threat to him, and the contradictions between the two sides were becoming more and more acute, and it was only a matter of time before the soldiers met each other.
Later Yan Murong Chui took the lead and was defeated
The war was initiated by Murong Chui of Xianbei and Later Yan, first, because at this time Murong Chui knew that he was going to die of old age, but the heir crown prince Murong Bao was young and weak, not enough to convince the people, and he wanted Murong Bao to establish his authority in Later Yan through a big victory in order to smoothly take over the throne. Second, in the balance of forces between the two sides, Murong Chui's Later Yan obviously had the upper hand, and at this time, it was precisely when the enemy was weak and we were strong, and the first attack was strong, and the threat of Tuoba was solved in one fell swoop.
In May 395, Murong Bao, the Prince of Later Yan, led an army of 80,000 to Wei.
Tuoba Jue, knowing that he was invincible, adopted the strategy of avoiding his attack, taking the initiative to retreat, and luring the enemy to go deeper, leading his troops to cross the Yellow River to the south and confront Murong Bao across the river. From early summer in May to the cold winter of November. During this period, Tuoba Jue was not idle, and ordered people to intercept Later Yan's emissaries and cut off Murong Bao's contact with his father Murong Chui.
Tuoba Jue used the captured emissaries to deceive Murong Bao and make him shout before the battle, claiming that the old and frail Murong Bao was dead, and asking them to surrender quickly. Murong Bao was shocked to hear this, and because he had not made contact for several months, he misbelieved this for a while, and the morale of the Later Yan army collapsed, and he hurriedly retreated and confused.
On the way back, he was raided and intercepted by Tuoba Jue's Wei army at Samhepi. Murong Bao's Later Yan army was scattered in panic and suffered heavy casualties. Later Yan Wenwu's generals and 40,000 soldiers were captured, and Tuoba Jue killed them all at Sanhepi, and tens of thousands of soldiers and grain were captured. Murong Bao had to return with thousands of people, which was the "Battle of Zhanhepi" that Murong Shi was ashamed of.
The Murong family became a stepping stone for the Tuoba family to unify the north
In March 396, Murong Chui, who was seriously ill, had no choice but to personally go into battle, leading an army to attack Northern Wei, and the army marched to Sanhepi to mourn the fallen compatriots, and all the Relatives of the Yan army died in battle, and the cries were tremendous, and Murong Chui was also in tears, vomiting blood, and returned to the division from illness, dying of illness on the way, at the age of 71.
After that, the Tuoba family and the Murong family continued to exchange troops, and murong family's Later Yan was defeated and defeated again and again, and was constantly attacked by the Tuoba family's Northern Wei, and in 397 AD, it captured the last three cities of Later Yan and destroyed Later Yan. In 398, Murong Bao was killed by the Xianbei nobleman Lan Khan.
Later Yan, whose capital was captured by Northern Wei, divided its territory into two sections, and the northern one, in 407 AD, the Later Yan general Feng Bao killed Murong Xi,the emperor of the Murong family, and installed Murong Bao's adopted son Murong Yun as the mainstay, and Later Yan officially perished.
Another branch of Murong's army was established in 399 by Murong De in 399, with the capital Guanggu, that is, the title of emperor, and the history was called Southern Yan. In 410, Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty attacked Southern Yan in the north, captured Guanggu, and destroyed Southern Yan, after which Murong Bu never established any political power.
Tuoba Bu rose in the north, tuoba jue's eldest grandson Tuoba Tao succeeded to the throne, after more than ten years of conquest, finally realized the reunification of the north since the defeat of the Former Qin army, and the Xianbei Murong bu became a stepping stone for the Xianbei Tuoba clan to reach its peak.
