Fuyuan, Pingyuan, Zhenyuan and Ningyuan are the forefront of the barbarians in the defense of the mountains of the Tang Empire in the early Tang Dynasty. With Fuyuan as the core, a linear defense belt of hundreds of miles was built. In the early Tang Dynasty, although there were only hundreds of thousands of barbarians, regardless of men, women, young and old, they were good at fighting and extremely fierce. The mountains were their natural hiding place. When a large-scale Tang army attacked, they followed the deep mountains because they knew very well that a large-scale Tang army attack could not last too long. The mountains and steep mountains and dangerous environments were their natural defense zone. Too many Tang army attacks. If they lingered in the mountains for a long time, logistics alone would be enough to crush them. And a small-scale attack, once it penetrated into the mountains, it would become a delicacy for the barbarians, and even bones would not be left behind.

This made the Tang Empire, which had already unified the world at that time, extremely embarrassed. It could not be eradicated and tried to strode, but the other party was not soft or hard. They were like a piece of candy, sticking to the Tang Empire.

In the end, the Tang Empire decided to build Yuejing City. The talented and intelligent emperor Li Qing established a strategy of peaceful evolution for a hundred years. However, Yuejing City, as the central city in the north and the role he will play in the plan for a hundred years, was destined to not be built in a short time. During this period, the barbarians at the peak of their strength would inevitably continue to invade. All of them were Fuyuan, Pingyuan, Zhenyuan and Ningyuan, targeting the four most powerful barbarian tribes at that time.

In the first ten years, a large number of troops were stationed in these four military fortresses, but they were no longer mainly engaged in attacks, but were mainly engaged in defense. They used this defense line to seal the barbarians in the mountains. From a simple earthen city, it slowly evolved into a series of strong cities through the repeated attacks of the barbarians. In those decades, every inch of land in these four fortresses was soaked in the blood of soldiers on both sides.

The construction of Yuejing City and these four military fortresses was a large-scale national act that consumed extremely financial resources. Fortunately, the Tang Empire was under the leadership of Emperor Li Qing, and these acts that were enough to consume all the financial resources of a country were only stretched in the first few years. As the Tang Empire became stronger and stronger, the money it consumed was no longer a burden on the total income of the Tang Dynasty.

And the barbarians also had an extraordinary hero back then, Murong Ke.

Although the Tang Empire collectively called all the tribes in these mountains barbarians, in fact, they were composed of hundreds of tribes, with more than 100,000 people in the large tribes, and only a few hundred people in the smallest tribes. Originally, these tribes were not harmonious with each other, and fighting and killing were normal. Before Murong Ke, no one could twist them together until Murong Ke appeared.

As a master, Murong Ke was not only amazing in his martial arts cultivation, but also unique in his political skills and personal charm. In his hands, hundreds of barbarian tribes gathered together to establish an empire of theirs, and their purpose was to occupy the land of the current Yue Kingdom.

But unfortunately, Murong Ke was born at the wrong time. When he met the peerless hero Li Qing, he was destined to have a tragic ending. When he spent more than ten years integrating all the barbarian tribes and stepping out of the mountains with full confidence, Emperor Li Qing had already defeated the last army of the Zhou Empire in Luocheng, and the Tang army rushed into Luocheng, completing the great cause of unification of the world.

Emperor Li Qing, who established the capital of Chang'an, has completely freed up his hands. Murong Ke has lost the best opportunity. If he could complete the great cause of integration ten years earlier, then the life of Emperor Li Qing to unify the world would be postponed indefinitely.

The barbarians ravaged the north and sieged cities and land. The main force of the Tang army immediately went to the north and fought fiercely with the barbarians. With the combat effectiveness of the two sides being almost different, the Tang army's numerical advantages, equipment advantages and endless logistics support made Murong Ke defeated, and from then on, he turned from a contender to a harasser.

But under his leadership, the barbarians at that time were still a powerful force, and the powerful Emperor Li Qing had to prepare a set of strategies for them alone.

When Yuejing City is about to be completed and the four fortresses in Fuyuan Pingyuan Zhenyuan Ningyuan are getting stronger and stronger, Murong Ke understands that if he drags on, he will never have a chance to win.

In a battle against the water, he gathered all the barbarians and hundreds of thousands of troops out in full swing. At this time, Li Qing, the emperor of the Tang Empire, also led the army in person. That battle was much more tragic than the battle between the Tang army and the Zhou army to win the battle between Luocheng.

Needless to say, the Tang army fought with the Barbarians for several months with these four fortresses. In the end, the poor Barbarians' logistics did not continue. The Tang army, with the backing of the strong country, had more and more obvious advantages, slowly surrounded the Barbarians. In the end, Murong Ke had to admit that he was defeated. When the encirclement was about to form, he ordered the withdrawal of troops, and he personally led his personal army, who had been trained for more than ten years, to cut off the rear and cover the remaining tribal troops to escape back to the mountains.

In this last battle, Murong Ke finally met Li Qing, the Emperor of the Tang Empire who forced him to a dead end step by step.

Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops surrounded Murong Ke, who was fighting to the death. Murong Ke, who was finally killed by Emperor Li Qing on the spot. Tens of thousands of elite barbarians who were cut off were killed or injured.

After this battle, the Barbarians were seriously injured and could no longer compete with the Tang Empire. They retreated to the mountains. Because of Murong Ke's death, the tribal alliance lost the leader, and the remaining heavyweights fought for power and profit. The tribal alliance collapsed and divided again.

From then on, the century-old differentiation strategy carefully prepared by Emperor Li Qing finally began to slowly play their role. Because of the blockade of the Tang Empire, in order to compete for survival resources, internal wars occurred frequently in the Barbarian tribes, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and the smallest tribes, because of the increasingly difficult survival in the mountains, in order not to perish, they finally chose to go out of the mountains, surrender to the Tang Empire, leave the mountains on which they depend for survival, change their lifestyle, and begin to integrate into the ordinary life of the Tang Empire bit by bit.

Just like the domino, after falling down the first one, the ones behind will collapse. After dozens or hundreds of years, almost most of the barbarian tribes have gone down the mountain one after another and become members of the Tang Empire. After thousands of years of historical evolution, they have almost integrated with the Tang people. Generation after generation, and after thousands of years, their descendants can no longer remember their origins, but just think that they were originally members of the Tang people.

Of course, there are also stubborn people, including the Murong Ke clan. In that battle, their losses were the greatest, and the elites in the clan were almost killed or injured. When they fought for power and profit among the subsequent tribes, they were no longer able to compete with other tribes. They could only rely on Murong Ke's last remaining power to move their clan to the deeper depths of the distant mountains to avoid disasters.

After thousands of years of rest and rehabilitation and changes in the world, the only thing that remains unchanged is the ambition of the Murong clan to come out again and seize the world again.

Murong Hong stood on the square in front of the Fuyuan City County Government Office, looking up at the bronze statue of Li Qing, which was more than ten meters high. His heart was filled with anger because Li Qing on this bronze statue rode his horse and swung his sword, and the chest of another bronze statue was penetrated in front of the long sword. The bronze statue was vivid and lifelike. Although it took thousands of years, it could still see the faces of both sides. The man who was pierced by Li Qing's long sword was angry and looked like a long pill on the sky, which was his ancestor, Murong Ke.

Murong Hong held the hilt of the knife around his waist tightly with his hands, and his blue veins were exposed, and he bit his lips tightly.

We are back.

After a thousand years, our Murong clan is still there, but the empire created by this shining man in front of us is no longer there, and there is not even a single descendant of him.

What a pity that if Li had descendants, he would have killed him, and then next to this statue, he would have shaped another statue to kill him.

"Class leader, let's go! They are still waiting for us!" Murong Jing, the elder of the Murong clan with white hair and beard behind him, whispered.

Murong Hong nodded slightly, "Elder, this time, we are going to regain what belongs to us."

"Of course!" Murong Jing smiled.

The two strode towards the Fuyuan County Government Office, and the man who had already been waiting immediately led the two into the inner palace.

Jiang Haokun stood at the door of the lobby, watching the two of them coming, smiling, and holding his fists: "The distinguished guest is here, and he will be welcomed by mistake. I will forgive my guilt and forgive me!"

"You are kind to you, Lord Jiang." Murong Hong's fierce aura before the statue had already disappeared, and was replaced by a humble smile. "I haven't come to Fuyuan City for more than ten years, and I didn't expect that there would be no change. After walking around the city for a few times, it still remains the same as before."

Jiang Haokun's face changed slightly: "Captain Murong has been to Fuyuan County before?"

"More than just here?" Murong Hong smiled and said, "I have lived in this Fuyuan City for ten years and have been studying here in Siyuan Academy. This Fuyuan City is very familiar to me."

"So that's it. The leader of Murong really hides me so much. I'm really blinded. I didn't know that such a distinguished guest was by my side, otherwise I would have treated him well?" Jiang Haokun said with a smile on his face.

"I really don't dare to take it." Murong Hong smiled and said, "If County Governor Jiang knew my true identity at that time, he would have tied me up and asked for me to receive the reward."

"Captain Murong was joking." Jiang Haokun laughed and stretched out his hand to give in and said, "Please come in, two, introduce two nobles to you. This is Lord Qin Li and Qin from Chang'an, and this is General Wu Teng, Long Xiang Army of Qi."

The four of them looked at each other, Wu Teng remained silent, but Qin Li smiled and said, "Brother Murong, it's been a long time since I left."
