Murong Chui, Emperor Wucheng of Later Yan: The God of War during the Sixteen Kingdoms Period

Text: Zhou Yiwei (author of the History Reading Column) When he first appeared in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", his name was Murong Ba. He attacked Goguryeo and reached the new city. King Zhao of Goguryeo begged for an alliance and then returned. He also made his son Ke and Ba attack the other tribes of Yuwen. At the age of thirteen, he bravely championed the three armies. At the age of thirteen, he went on an expedition with the army. The record in the book is that he "bravely championed the three armies". At this time, the young Murong Ba was very high-spirited and was loved by his father Murong Hui. He was even more favored than Murong Jun, the crown prince of King Yan. Huang was very fond of him and often favored him. He then said to his brothers, "This boy is broad and curious, and he will eventually be able to break up other people's families, or maybe he can become a man." "So he was named Ba, with the word Daoye, and he was more kind than the prince Jun. So after Murong Jun succeeded to the throne, Murong Ba was naturally ostracized. The young man was fond of wandering, and he fell off a horse while hunting and broke his tooth. Murong Junsu took the throne. , the name was changed to "Cui Yu", and the name was "Cui Yu" on the outside, but it was actually evil inside and changed it to "Cui" because he once fell from a horse. After losing his tooth, Murong Jun deliberately changed Murong Ba's name to ""Cuiyu"". Later, he removed the character ""夤" and became Murongchui. Just in time to catch up with the chaos in the Zhao Kingdom in the Central Plains at this time, Murongchui took the initiative to send troops and He successfully assisted Murong Jun in conquering the State of Zhao and unified the area north of the Yellow River. Murong Jun took advantage of the situation and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Yan (called Qian Yan in history), and Murong Chui was named King of Wu. At this time, China was also in the midst of the Three Kingdoms. Liang in the northwest actually regarded Jin in the southeast as Zhengshuo, but Murong Jun still did not forget to beat Murong Chui. With the help of the Queen, he slandered Murong Chui's wife Duan as a witch and had her imprisoned and tortured. After being tortured, he hoped that the beating would lead to Murong Chui being implicated, but unexpectedly Duan gritted his teeth and refused to confess. After Murong Chui learned about his wife's suffering, he was very intolerant and asked someone to persuade Duan to confess privately: "I'm sorry, but privately." The messenger said to Mr. Duan: "" Life is like a death. How can Chudu be like this! Not as convincing. " But Empress Duan insisted not to confess, and while she saved Murong Chui, she died miserably in prison. Duan sighed and said: " "How can I love the dead!" If you falsely accuse yourself of being rebellious, humiliating your ancestors at the top, and burdening the king at the bottom, you must not do it! "The argument became clearer, so Chui avoided disaster, but Duan died in prison. Duan's steadfastness and kindness made Murong Chui never forget her in his life, and the country was indirectly destroyed for this reason. But this is not Murong Chui's story soon passed away, and he entrusted his uncle Murong Ping and his brother Murong Ke to assist his son Murong Wei. Murong Chui was pushed out of the central government, and Murong Ke was the assistant in charge. He was feared by the enemy, but he admired his younger brother very much and often praised Murong Chui's talents: The king of Wu's generals and ministers were ten times more talented than his ministers. However, soon after, Murong Ke also passed away. Huan Wen, the powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, took the opportunity to go to the north. The Yan army was retreating steadily. Murong Ping even wanted to move the capital with Murong Wei to avoid Huan Wen's attack. At this time, Murong Chui He stood up and said, "Please attack him; if he fails, it's not too late to leave." When Huan Wen reached the bank of the Yellow River not far from Yecheng, the capital of Yan State, Murong Chui led the army to fight. This is the famous Battle of Fangtou. The Yan and Jin armies were in a stalemate, and then the Jin army's plan to divide their forces and advance in parallel was thwarted, and they retreated after running out of food. In fact, the two sides were only in a draw at this point, but Murong Chui overcame everyone's opinions and personally led the army to pursue it at the right time, which made the Jin army pursue it. The army was defeated and ended in disgrace. The generals of Yan fought to pursue him, but King Wu Chui said: "No." When Wen Chu retreats, he is panic-stricken, so he must set up strict security and use the best troops to defend the rear. Attacking may not be successful, so it is better to slow down. Fortunately, I haven't arrived yet, but he will rush forward day and night. When his soldiers are exhausted and exhausted, they will attack them, and they will be defeated. "The commander of the Eight Thousand Cavalry marched slowly behind him. Wen Guo advanced on the road. After a few days, he told the generals: "Wen Ke can attack. "Wen pursued him in a hurry and reached Wen in Xiangyi. Fan Yang Wang Dexian commanded 4,000 powerful horses and fell in the east stream of Xiangyi. He and Chui attacked Wen from a double flank, and then defeated him. Tens of thousands of people were killed. After this battle, Murong Chui was shocked. In the world, the Qin State (former Qin Dynasty), which originally had plans to attack Yan, had to temporarily avoid the limelight. Although the enemy was gone, the sword from the rear came. The Queen Mother Kezu Hun and the assistant minister Murong Ping were deeply moved. He was afraid that Murong Chui, who had made great achievements, had all the military merit rewards requested, and planned to kill him. When Murong Ke's son Murong Kai learned of the news, he secretly advised Murong Chui to take a preemptive action and kill the Taifu and the Queen Mother later. The decisive Murong Chui did not have the courage at this time. He cared about the relationship between flesh and blood and caused chaos in the country. He would only die and could not bear to do it. He first listened to the plan of the prince Murong Ling.

We chose Plan A, which was to voluntarily leave the central government and go to the local areas to avoid trouble. However, this plan was ruined by his unfavored younger son Murong Lin, who reported it to the Taifu Murong Ping, so the army came after him. When Murong Chui was desperate, he decided to take his closest people and leave his homeland. Wearing the stars and the moon, we went through hardships and dangers and headed towards our former enemy, Qin. Murong Chui was 43 years old. Unlike his homeland, which wanted to cut Murong Chui into pieces, Fu Jian, the leader of the Qin State, was overjoyed when he heard the news that Murong Chui had come to seek refuge. He went out to Chang'an, the capital, to greet him personally. He took Murong Chui's hand and promised to reward him greatly, and hoped that he could Peace the world with him. Murong Chui even felt panicked. Because of his identity as a traitor, it was an unexpected surprise to receive such great courtesy from Fu Jian. At the beginning, King Qin Jian heard that the Grand Prime Minister was determined to kill, and he had the ambition to conquer the Yan Dynasty. He was afraid of losing his prestige and did not dare to speak out. When he heard that he was coming, he was overjoyed and greeted him in the suburbs. He held his hand and said, "It's natural to be born a wise man. He will definitely achieve great success with you." I should fight with you to settle the world, sue you and become the Daizong, and then return your country to your country, and grant you the state of Youzhou, so that you can leave the country without losing the filial piety of your son, and return to me without losing the loyalty of the king. Isn't that beautiful! "Cui Xie said," "I am fortunate to be exempted from the crime." The glory of this country is beyond our wildest dreams! "Jian Fu loved the talents of Zi Ling and Murong Kai, and was generous with them. He rewarded them with huge rewards. Every time he came to see them, he looked at them with his eyes. Not only Fu Jian was overjoyed, but the people in Guanzhong had also heard of Murong Chui's name for a long time, and they all admired him." . But Fu Jian's chief adviser, Prime Minister Wang Meng, realized that Murong Chui was different from ordinary people and secretly advised Fu Jian to get rid of him. However, Fu Jian was too late to be happy that Murong Chui was good at fighting and rejected Wang Meng's proposal. He can control Murong Chui. The people in Guanzhong heard about the name of Chui and his son, and they all admired him, saying: "Murong Chui and his son are like dragons and tigers. They are not tameable things. If they are borrowed from the wind and clouds, they will not be copied. It is better." Get rid of it early. "Jian said: "We have recruited heroes to clear the world, but how can we kill them! And since it first came, I have sincerely accepted it. The common man still refuses to give up his words, what a situation! "So Chui was made the champion general, a guest disciple, and Kai was the Jinu general. Fu Jian's magnanimity was heartbreaking, but 14 years later he recalled the advice of the deceased Wang Meng, and Murong, who had become an enemy. Chui, I don't know what he would think. After getting Murong Chui, Fu Jian began to plan to destroy Yan. With Wang Meng as the commander, he launched a war to destroy Yan. Hebei was determined in one battle and almost unified northern China. He lost his son Murong Ling in this war. It turned out that Wang Meng was obsessed with getting rid of Murong Chui and his son, so he used the "Golden Sword Trick" to make Murong Ling think that Murong Chui had defected. Murong Ling believed it was true and ran back to Yan State, but was attacked. After hearing the news of his son's escape, Murong Chui also fled, but was captured and returned to Chang'an. However, in a twist of fate, Fu Jian let him go. Wang Meng defeated Luo and ordered Meng Nai to join the army. Someone sent a message to the order: "I have returned to the east, you can use it as a plan." "I ordered him to rush to Wei. He expressed his rebellion fiercely, and ran eastward in fear. He reached Lantian and was captured by the chasing horse. Jian introduced him to the east hall and expressed his condolences: "Your family and country are at war, so you have committed yourself to me." A wise man never forgets his roots and still cherishes his first hillocks. "The Book" says exactly what it says: "Father, father, son, son, they have nothing to do with each other." Why are you so frightened and so embarrassed? "So he regained his title and treated him as kindly as before. After Qin destroyed Yan, Murong Chui followed Fu Jian to Yecheng, the capital of his homeland. When he saw his former subordinates, he was unhappy, but his confidant Gao Bi advised Murong Chui: The destiny of the world is met with unreasonable luck, and hardships are coming. The apocalypse is a gathering, and the spiritual life is temporarily changed. This is the beginning of the great changes, the beginning of the dragon change. I deeply hope that kindness can comfort me. Moreover, the master's strategy must be based on the customary rules, so as to promote the meaning of nourishing the buds. How can he steal it and donate it to the king in anger? It was obviously an evil intention to ask Murong Chui to win over the people of his homeland, but Murong Chui's reaction was "profound" and he accepted this suggestion. From the year of the destruction of Yan (370) to the Battle of Feishui (383) ) Murong Chui was very honest in the Qin State and worked hard as Fu Jian's minions to help him in his conquests from all directions. It is recorded in history that "every conquest achieved great success". After Wang Meng's death, his son Murong Nong once advised Murong Chui to do a good job. Preparations for rebellion, but the book records Murong Chui's strange smile. Murong Nong privately said to Murong Chui: "" Since the death of Wang Meng, Qin's legal system has become increasingly decadent, and now it is focusing on luxury, and disaster is coming. Well, the words of the prophecy should be proven in practice. The king should recruit heroes to carry out God's will. The time cannot be lost! Chui smiled and said: "The world's affairs are beyond your reach." "Based on future developments, Murong Chui is actually already ready. He is waiting for an opportunity.

Finally, the opportunity came. After Qin unified the north, after several years of recuperation, Fu Jian had the ambition to annex the world. Although Wang Meng once advised before his death that the enemy was around him, not the Jin Dynasty located in the southeast. Civil and military officials throughout the dynasty also advised Fu Jian to follow Wang Meng's last words. However, Murong Chui added fuel to the fire. Murong Chui, the champion and Jingzhao Yin, said to Yu Jian: "Weakness merges with strong, small merges with big. This logic is natural and difficult to understand." With His Majesty's mighty power, he has been able to conquer the seas and travel to millions of people. He has conquered Korea and the White Dynasty, and only lives in the south of the Yangtze River. This is against the king's orders. How can he be left behind to bequeath his descendants? "Poetry" says: "There are many holes in the plot, but there is no need to gather." ’ It is enough for Your Majesty to renounce the Holy Heart, why bother to consult the public! When Jin Wu defeated Wu, the only two officials who fought were Zhang and Du. If you follow the opinions of the court, how can you achieve the same success? "Jian Dayue said: "The one who can rule the world with me is just Qing. "Five hundred bolts of silk were given. Murong Chui quoted scriptures and told Fu Jian that such important matters were the sole discretion of the Holy Heart and there was no need to listen to the opinions of the ministers. Fu Jian was overjoyed and strengthened his determination to go south to destroy Jin. But in private, Murong Chui finally revealed his Murong Kai and Murong Shaoyan said to Murong Chui: "My lord is extremely arrogant. My uncle is here to build Zhongxing!" " Chui said: " "Yes." Who can do it but you? "No longer different from the lurking minions before, the 57-year-old Murong Chui's ambitions were already obvious at this time. In 383 AD, Fu Jian gathered the entire army and marched south to the Jianghuai River, preparing to destroy the Jin Dynasty in the east of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop. Jiazi, Jian Arriving at Chang'an, there were more than 600,000 soldiers and 270,000 cavalry, facing each other with flags and drums, thousands of miles in front and back. In September, the troops from Liangzhou reached Xianyang, and the troops from Shu and Han moved down the river. , the soldiers of You and Ji arrived at Pengcheng, thousands of miles from east to west, advancing by land and water, and transporting thousands of canals. However, with the birth of the two idioms "" the grass and trees are soldiers" and "" the sound of the wind and the roar of the cranes", the Qin army collapsed at the Feishui River, which is the famous saying. The Battle of Feishui. Of course, there were various deep-seated reasons for the defeat, but on the battlefield, it was due to huge mistakes in Fu Jian's command and planning, which ultimately led to the disastrous defeat of all armies. Murong Chui's army had already planned to attack. At this time, all the troops were defeated, but Murong Chui's 30,000 men were left alone. Fu Jian then led his thousands of followers and rushed to Murong Chui. This was a rare opportunity in a lifetime. At this time, the crown prince Murong Bao, his younger brother Murong De, and all their confidants urged Murong Chui to take the opportunity to kill Fu Jian. However, Murong Chui said that Fu Jian was very kind to him and could not bear to harm him, and he always insisted on his own opinion and refused to kill Fu Jian. He suggested, and personally led the troops to escort Fu Jian back to Luoyang. Chui said: "I was not tolerated by the Taifu in the past, and I had no place to go. I fled to Qin. The Lord of Qin met me as a soldier of the country and treated me with kindness and courtesy." Later, he was sold by Wang Meng again, and there is no way to explain it. The Lord of Qin is the only one who can understand this. How can we forget this kindness? If Di's fortunes are bound to be poor, I will gather in Guandong to restore my previous achievements. The meeting in Guanxi is not mine. "In fact, Murong Chui did not kill Fu Jian not only because of friendship, but also because if he killed Fu Jian at this time, he would definitely become the target of all forces in the Qin State, and the place where the army was stationed was not adjacent to the location of his home country, Yan State. It can also be seen from his words that his goal is only to unite the Yan Kingdom, not to unify the world (if Di's fortune is bound to be poor, I will gather in Guandong to restore the past. (Ear, the Guanxi Conference is not mine), he had a clear plan from beginning to end. After escorting Fu Jian back to Luoyang, Murong Chui told Fu Jian that the army's new defeat would definitely shock Hebei, and he was willing to go on inspection, and Paying homage to his ancestors' tomb in Yecheng, Fu Jian completely believed in Murong Chui due to his performance on the way. Even if someone advised him not to let the tiger return to the mountain, Fu Jian did not listen. Not only that, he also gave Murong Chui three thousand. The soldiers and horses asked him to cross the Yellow River and return to his hometown, while he set off and returned west to Chang'an. This was the last time the monarch and his ministers met in the troubled times. It was Fu Jian's son Changle Gong Fu Pi who was guarding Yecheng. He heard that Murong Chui was in the north. Although he was suspicious, he couldn't take action because Murong Chui had no signs of rebellion, so he personally greeted Murong Chui in Yecheng. Not long after, the Ding Ling people in Hebei rebelled. Fu Pi made Murong Chui the commander-in-chief and led the troops to defeat him. However, he planted an informant in the team to prevent Murong Chui from rebelling. On the eve of the expedition, Murong Chui requested to pay homage to his ancestors, but he was not allowed to sneak in secretly, and was discovered by the officials on duty who wanted to drive him away. Furious, he killed the guards and led the army out of the city. At this time, the purpose of Murong Chui's rebellion was obvious. However, because of his contribution to escorting Fu Jian, Fu Pi still couldn't figure out what he was thinking and rejected his subordinates, Murong Chui. A proposal to kill.

After leaving Yecheng, Murong Chui didn't have so many worries. On the grounds that Fu Pi blocked the worship at the mausoleum temple and installed an informant, he killed the Qin army's informant and sent a letter to Fu Jian. It shows that he was forced to rebel. The funny thing is, it was only after Murong Chui rebelled and his family members who stayed in Yecheng had all fled that Fu Pi realized something was wrong, but now he could no longer stop Murong Chui. After half a lifetime of fighting, Murong Chui was invincible in the world. His excellent military ability and strategic vision allowed him to quickly conquer all parts of Hebei. Only Yecheng was still under Fu Pi's hard defense. In desperation, Fu Pi sent his envoy Jiang Rang to persuade Murong Chui to stop, but was rejected. However, Murong Chui said that he could let Fu Pi return to Chang'an in order to repay Fu's kindness to him. Fu Pi's envoy faced Murong Chui and saw that there was no hope of persuasion, so he cursed and accused Murong Chui of being ungrateful. However, Murong Chui's reaction to this was ""silent"", and in his heart he also felt sorry for Fu Jian. So he wrote a letter, thanking Fu Jian for his tolerance and kindness to him, and stated his experience in the Qin Dynasty for more than ten years. With his merits and aspirations, he expressed that he still hoped to form an alliance with Fu Jian. He looked up to Fu Jian and said: "My talent is not that of the ancients. I caused misfortune to Xiao Qiang. When I was an infant, I was in trouble and returned to the Holy Dynasty." His Majesty was very kind to the Zhou and Han Dynasties, and he treated me with slight care. He was ranked as a general, and he was a noble and noble prince. ..... The sincerity of my ministers was not heard by Jian Shen, who often restrained his troops and did not dare to steal attacks. My husband's fortune will change and come and go, but His Majesty will observe it. " Guanzhong was in chaos at this time, and Fu Jian was surrounded by dangers and rebellions. But the pride of the emperor prevented him from bowing his head. He wrote a letter, expressing his heartache, and saying that life and death are determined by fate, and swords have no eyes. The two of them have broken up their friendship! This reply is neither humble nor silent, and it is soothing to read: "I have ruled over all nations for thirty years because of my unethical conduct. All the descendants of Xia Fang came to the court, but in the southeast corner, they dared to disobey the king's orders. I joined the six divisions to reverently carry out heaven's punishment, but the mystery was not revealed, and the king's division was defeated. Lai Qing is extremely loyal and supports me. It is because of your strength that the country will not be destroyed. "Poetry" says: "If you hide it in the center, how can you forget it?" 'Fang appointed his ministers as prime ministers, appointed ministers as princes and princes, promoted the common people to help those in need, and respected and rewarded heroes and martyrs. Why did Boyi suddenly destroy Bingcao, and Liu Hui suddenly became an adulterer! Looking at the table, I feel sad, and there are some officials who are ashamed. Since you are not allowed to surrender to this dynasty, I will favor you as a general, treat you as a guest, serve as an old minister, have the same rank and honor, sacrifice blood and gold, and pay with my heart. It is said that Qing eats the rice paper and cherishes the sound, so that he can grow old together. Unexpectedly, if the livestock water overturns the boat, the raising of animals will cause harm, and the regret will bite the navel, where will it reach! His outrageous words shocked the public, his exaggerations were extraordinary, and the affairs of Zhou Wu were beyond the reach of mediocre people! A bird that has escaped from its cage cannot be restrained by Luo; a whale that has escaped from its net cannot be restrained by silicon! There is no need to hear about it. Nian Qing grows old, becomes a thief in old age, lives as a traitor, and dies as a traitor, becomes dwarfed and secluded, spreads poison to survive and die, how painful it is for the ladies of the Central Plains! The ups and downs of my fortune are not left to you! However, when Changle and Pingyuan were not yet established, I met their ministers in the two capitals. I was concerned about their economics and strategies but did not like them in my heart. This is all I hated. "It is impossible to know Murong Chui's reaction after receiving Fu Jian's letter, whether he was guilty or silent. For Fu Jian, he could no longer see it. Soon after replying to the letter, Fu Jian was buried in Wujiang Mountain near Chang'an. The traitor Yao Chang was killed. Fu Pi also led the army to withdraw from Yecheng and headed towards Chang'an. On the way, he learned that Chang'an had been captured, so he ascended the throne in Jinyang and became the emperor of Qin. He finally occupied Yecheng and led the army to annihilate it. Murong defeated the Dingling people, defeated Goguryeo, regained the birthplace of the Yan Kingdom, Longcheng (Chaoyang, Liaoning), completely recovered the territory of the Yan Kingdom, and then proclaimed himself emperor in Zhongshan, Hebei. This was originally a story of successful restoration of the country, Murong. Chui's prestige at this time was enough to make the enemy hesitate to move forward, and all the military flags fell in the wind. Shanxi, Henan, and northern Shandong were all included in the territory of Yan State under his conquest. However, he was already old and aging. Then he ushered in the strongest enemy since Huan Wen, the Tuoba tribe Xianbei from the north. The leader of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Gui, had always been attached to Murong Chui and joined forces with the Yan army several times to defeat the same enemy. (the rest of the tribes on the grassland), however, because they were dissatisfied with this long-term oppressive relationship, they secretly accumulated strength, just like the young Murong Chui did, and waited for the opportunity until Murong Chui ordered the Tuoba tribe to pay tribute to a large number of troops and horses. The young Tuoba Gui couldn't bear it anymore and officially betrayed the Yan State and proclaimed himself King of Wei. Murong Chui made the biggest and arguably only mistake in his life. He was old and sick and did not choose to fight in person, but asked the prince to do so. Murong Bao led the troops into battle.

Tuoba Gui asked his scouts to plunder Murong Bao's retreat, cutting off news from the capital and the Yan army. At the same time, he spread rumors that Murong Chui had died of illness. The Yan army was distraught. Murong Bao hurriedly returned to the army. Tuoba Gui selected 20,000 elite soldiers. Yu Liming launched an attack and wiped out the Yan army. Only Murong Bao and other senior officers fled back to the capital. The tens of thousands of Yan army officers and soldiers who were captured were all killed under Tuoba Gui's orders, and all the young and middle-aged men of the Yan state were wiped out. After Murong Chui learned of the tragic defeat, he summoned troops from Longcheng (now Chaoyang, Liaoning), the ancient capital of the Yan Kingdom, to enter Zhongshan. At the age of 70, he dragged his illness to fight in person. In March, Gengzi, the Lord of Yan left Fan Yang and Wang De to guard Zhongshan and led his troops to attack intensively. Crossing the Qingling Mountains, passing through the Tianmen, a passage was cut into the mountain, and out of Wei's surprise, it pointed straight into the clouds. Wei Chen Liugong Qianshuai's tribe of more than 30,000 people held Pingcheng; they went down to Lieling, and attacked with Wang Nong of Liaoxi and Wang Long of Gaoyang as the vanguard. At this time, the Yan troops were newly defeated and all were afraid of Wei, but the Longcheng troops fought bravely to take the lead. Qiansu was not equipped. In the leap month, Yi Mao, the Yan army arrived at Pingcheng. Qian was aware of it. The commander went out to fight, but was defeated and died. The Yan army collected all his tribes. The old lion at the end of his battle taught the most impressive lesson to the lone wolf who would roar in the north in the future. The Yan army under Murong Chui was completely different from the one led by Murong Bao, and the Wei army was unable to resist at all. Historical records: King Gui of Wei was frightened and wanted to leave. When all the tribes heard about Qian's death, they all felt dissatisfied. Gui didn't know what to do. When the Yan army came to the battlefield of Shenhebei where they were defeated, they saw the corpses of fathers, sons and brothers all over the ground. The whole army burst into tears. Murong Chui paid homage to the dead in person. He was so ashamed and ashamed that he could no longer hold on and fell ill in the army. middle. When I passed by Shenhepi, I saw mountains of corpses, and sacrifices were made for them. The soldiers all wept in mourning, and the sound shook the valley. Chui was so angry that he vomited blood and became ill. He rode on horseback and rode thirty miles northwest of Dunping City. When the entire army was filled with an atmosphere of sadness, Murong Chui, Emperor Wucheng of Later Yan, became seriously ill and eventually died of illness in the army, ending his tortuous and bizarre life at the age of 70. After hanging in Pingcheng for ten days, he quickly turned around and built Yanchang City before returning. Xia, April, Guiwei, died in Juyang in Shanggu, secretly mourning. In Bingshen, he arrived in Zhongshan; in Wuxu, he was mourned. His posthumous title was Emperor Chengwu, and his temple name was Shizu. Even the Book of Jin, which takes the Jin Dynasty as its perspective, ultimately spoke highly of Murong Chui. Shi Chen said: The four stars gather in the east, and the energy of Jinling has been divided; the five horses float to the south, and the majestic force of Yusai disturbs them. The city and dynasty were changed repeatedly, and the situation was difficult and dangerous. Murong Chui was a talented and heroic person, and he was powerful in this dynasty. He used his heroism to hide his body and his administration, and he always accepted it and treated it with courtesy. However, the falcon's temperament is unruly, and the wolf's heart is wild. Huainan has lost its rules, and the plan of the three nephews has been completed; Heshuo is divided into troops, and the auspicious clouds of the five trees are rising. He slayed the flying dragon and leapt forward, crossed the stone gate and took a long step. Then he made Zhai's Jing follow, Ye's Xiao Yi, recruited Zhao and Wei, and drove the heroes. Knocking on the bag, Yu Qi destroyed 50,000 people in the meander of the river; the secret plan of the floating boat was used to recruit seven counties to Liyang. The old things returned to Liaoyin were used to create a new society in Zhongshan, which was similar to the emperor's sect. The husband returned to the Jin Dynasty with Chong'er, relying on the merits of five ministers; Gou Jian went to Wu, with five thousand soldiers. Evil has its own karma, two hegemons, a small group of people, pulling up the mountains and overturning them, roaring to control the wind and clouds! Although the Wei people forgot about their death and returned to the Eastern Kingdom, they were ashamed of their western neighbors and believed that Fu's treacherous return was not the whale salamander of the Jin Dynasty. One year after Murong Chui died of illness, King Tuoba Gui of Wei personally conquered Yan. The Yan army was completely defeated and split into two. It never regained its old territory after that, until it was destroyed by Tuoba Tao and Liu Yu respectively. It was another heroic era. story. Murong Chui's name rarely appears in the history books of later generations. Only in some etiquette issues, he abolished his aunt's mother Duan's family and replaced his biological mother Lan's family after the restoration of the country, and used it as a negative teaching material to educate emperors of the past. But his glorious record and legendary life are almost never mentioned again. Only he turned into a ghost, and the legend, whether true or false, was passed down to later generations. When Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was conquering Liao Dynasty, he was traveling to Dingzhou. There was a ghost on the side of the road, dressed in yellow and standing on a high tomb. He had a strange look on his face. Taizong sent an envoy to ask about it, and he replied: "I defeated you in the past, but you defeat me now." The glory and splendor are different from generation to generation, so why bother to pursue them. "After saying that, I didn't see him, so when I asked, it was Murong Chui's tomb. "Taiping Guangji. Volume 328. Ghost Thirteen. Murong Chui"
