Chapter 1840: The sacred tree is damaged and the country’s fate declines
Murong Nong stepped forward to support Murong Bao, who was almost falling to the ground due to excessive excitement, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, Dayan cannot do without you now."
Murong Sheng also followed up and said: "Yes, Father, even if the three armies are dispersed, it is just because I don't know your life or death for a moment and you were instigated by traitors. The situation is no worse than the last time Murong Hui rebelled. Longcheng
The soldiers and civilians are still loyal to you. As long as we return to Dragon City and recruit the returning sergeants, we will be able to deal with the rebels. After putting down the rebellion this time, as long as our father rests and recuperates for a few years, our strength will definitely be comparable to that of the rebels.
Like King Fan Yang, he recovered quickly!"
Murong Bao opened his eyes wide: "Sheng'er, you mean, you mean, do you still have a chance when we return to Dragon City?"
Murong Sheng said loudly: "I am willing to guarantee with my life that the people of Longcheng are still loyal to you. Please give me an order to allow me to return to the city first, control the guard troops, and then recruit the people. Rebellious thieves are unpopular. As long as your Majesty is in charge of Longcheng."
, they are bound to fail!”
Murong Bao turned from sadness to joy, took Murong Sheng's hand and said excitedly: "Okay, very good. When the late emperor was here, he said that you were very brave and had his style. My father was confused and mistakenly believed in a traitor."
Sheng'er, this time our father and son work together to survive this disaster. As long as the situation can be reversed and the rebellion is successful, I will never forget your contribution today.
Yan's future is yours!"
A trace of joy flashed in Murong Sheng's eyes, but it disappeared for a moment, and he said loudly: "It is my duty to do my best for my father and to be loyal to Dayan. I never care about other things. Brothers, follow me.
, let’s go back to Dragon City!”
Just as Murong Sheng got on his horse and galloped away with dozens of his men, the killing sounds from the northwest were getting closer and closer, and Duan Sugu's unique loud voice made it even more clear: "Don't run away.
The Queen Mother has a decree to kill the faint king!"
Murong Bao also quickly put on a suit of armor with the help of Zhao Si and got back on the horse. He glanced at the approaching torch in the northwest and said bitterly: "The first time I returned to Dragon City.
One thing is to go to Lanbu and kill the wives and families of these rebels and let them know the price of betrayal!"
Murong Nong whispered: "Your Majesty, let's drive back to Dragon City first. The Lan tribe is outside the city and it is difficult to find it for a while. Only by letting the whole city's soldiers and civilians see you can people's hearts be at peace. After defeating the rebels, can we
Let’s talk about other things.”
Murong Bao laughed: "What you said makes sense, let's go!"
Three days later, Dragon City, City Head.
Murong Bao was wearing armor, and was patrolling back and forth at the top of the city, followed by more than a dozen chamberlains wearing yellow crowns. Murong Sheng and Murong Nong, generals in large armor, were accompanying them. On the city wall, except for thousands of people in full armor,
In addition to the armed sergeants, there were still tens of thousands of strong men dressed in commoners, holding farm tools and pitchforks, or holding hunting bows. When they saw Murong Bao and others, they all cheered and shouted long live them.
With a smile on his face, Murong Bao turned around and said to Murong Sheng: "King Changle, you still have the ability. In just three days, you stabilized the situation in Longcheng. Not only did you regain control of the defenders, but you also recruited a large number of soldiers.
Ten thousand people came to defend the city, which can be said to have turned the tide."
Murong Sheng smiled slightly: "My son actually didn't do anything. The main reason is that the king of Liaoxi is unparalleled in his loyalty and renown. The people nearby heard that he was not in trouble this time, so they were willing to enter the city to help defend. And the defenders in the city also heard that His Majesty was safe.
After that, I swear to continue my allegiance."
Murong Bao's lips curled up, he glanced at Murong Nong behind him, and said: "I almost forgot that the King of Liaoxi once stationed in Dragon City for a long time, and he was very popular here. As long as the soldiers and civilians of Dragon City hear that you are still
As long as everyone is here, they are willing to serve. Whether or not I am the emperor is not important."
Murong Nong said quickly: "No, Your Majesty, these people are loyal to you. I am just a prince, and you are the king of Yan."
Murong Bao's brows were still furrowed and he changed the topic: "By the way, where is King Dunqiu? Why didn't he come at this time?"
Murong Sheng said: "When Erchen came back, King Dunqiu was not in the city. He heard that there was something wrong with the holy tree, so he took his tribe to worship and pray for blessings. The envoys sent by Erchen had already rushed to the holy tree.
, ask him to lead his troops back to defend immediately."
Murong Bao was surprised: "Holy tree? What holy tree? Why haven't I heard of it?!"
Murong Nong said calmly: "When the ancestor emperor (Murong Huang) came from Liaodong, he once planted a sacred tree in Bailang Mountain north of Longcheng. God gave the oracle, and the tree was planted in Dayan.
When the tree died and the Yan Dynasty died, the guardian of this sacred tree was the concubine Lan. Therefore, the Lan tribe lived in the hometown of Longcheng and became the guardian of the sacred tree. When Qian Yan fell, the sacred tree was once
The strong wind uprooted the roots, but within two years, two new sacred trees grew in the same place, one in the south and one in the north. Therefore, the people of Longcheng believed that I, Dayan, would eventually be revived and began to protect Hehe again.
It’s time to make a sacrifice. Because the emperor’s brother has recently arrived in Longcheng, the sacred tree sacrifice has never required the monarch’s personal sacrifice, so I didn’t have time to inform you.”
Murong Bao curled up his lips: "In the future, you must tell me about these sacrificial objects left by your ancestors. Then why did King Dunqiu go to the holy tree this time?"
Murong Sheng said: "I heard that strong winds were raging again and the sacred trees were damaged, so Master Lanhan took the men and women left behind from the tribe to pray for blessings. The five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Langahan are now retreating.
My ministers have already sent envoys to get in touch with them, and they promised to temporarily camp in the Lingzhi area. Once Duan Sugu and other rebels attack the city, they will attack from behind, cooperate inside and outside, and defeat the rebels!"
Murong Bao smiled and said: "Okay, very good. It looks like everything is the same as when we defended Dragon City last time. We cooperated internally and externally to defeat the rebels. By the way, where is Ayun?"
Murong Sheng replied: "Brother Yun was given a hundred military sticks last time and was bedridden. He cannot go into battle this time. He and the general Feng Ba and others who had always been friends with him went out of the city to look for medicine a while ago.
He is not in the city now, but I believe that if he hears news from His Majesty, he will definitely rush back as soon as possible."
Murong Bao sighed: "It's a pity that I wounded him last time just to vent my anger. Such a warrior cannot be used this time, but it doesn't matter. We can definitely defend the city this time and pass on my will.
In this battle to defend the city, all the meritorious officers and soldiers were greatly rewarded. Now everyone is given a first-level knighthood. After defeating the rebels, all the trophies, baggage, weapons, and wages are for you to take for yourself! After this battle, Hugh
If you serve as a soldier for five years and guard the city, your whole family will be exempted from taxes for five years!"
Cheers rang out in the city: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Murong Baozhi looked towards the south with satisfaction: "Now, just wait for the rebels to come and die!"
