Murong Chui (326–396), whose original name was Murong Ba, was the founding emperor and military figure of Later Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and the fifth son of Murong Hao, the Former Yan emperor.
In 339, Murong Hao attacked Goguryeo and attacked The Army was approaching Xincheng, and the Goguryeo king Wang Zhao begged for a league. Murong Hao made Murong Ba a knight and ordered him to follow his fourth brother Murong Ke in attacking Yuwenbu. At that time, Murong Ba was only thirteen years old and bravely championed the three armies.
Murong Ba was very favored by his father, even more than his brother Murong Juan, who was the son of the world, so Murong Juan was very jealous of Murong Chui
In 349, he attacked Later Zhao, captured Youzhou, and crowned King Wu. In 365, he cooperated in the attack on Luoyang, and paid tribute to the southern general and Jingzhou Mu.
In 360, Murong Juan fell seriously ill and died. Before his death, he expressed his intention to pass the throne to his younger brother Murong Ke.
Murong Ke fought all his life and was not defeated, and former Yan's founding relied on his military merits. But at the same time, he is a typical example of accepting Sinicization, and has a strong sense of morality. When Murong Juan said that he wanted to pass the throne to him, he blurted out, If you believe that I have the ability to stabilize the world, don't doubt that I also have the ability to assist the young lord.
Under Murong Ke's auxiliary government, Former Yan maintained a state of high-spirited progress.
The Murong family even saw the dawn of world domination for a time, but with Murong Ke's death in 367, everything came to naught.
Before Murong Ke's death, he repeatedly recommended his fifth brother Murong Chui to inherit his position.
Unfortunately, this recommendation became a potential threat to the narrow-minded Murong Wei and murong Juan (Murong Hui's younger brother and Murong Chui's uncle) who was in power at the time. Instead of following Murong Ke's advice, they were wary of Murong Chui at every turn.
Two years after Murong Ke's death, in 369, the Eastern Jin Dynasty warlord Huan Wen led an army in the Northern Expedition, which defeated the Former Yan Festival. When Huan Wen fought all the way to Fangtou, Murong Wei and Murong Ping prepared to flee back to the ancient capital of Longcheng in the northeast.
At the critical juncture, Murong Chui asked for war, saying that it would not be too late to withdraw to his hometown after losing the battle.
On the one hand, Murong Chui sent people to contact Former Qin Jianjian, and on the other hand, he dispatched men and horses to cut off the grain routes of the Jin army, forcing Huan Wen to retreat. In the process of Huan Wen's retreat, Murong Chui led 8,000 cavalry to follow, launched a surprise attack, and killed tens of thousands of Jin troops.
The victory at the Battle of Fangtou lifted the Former Yan crisis, but Murong Chui, who had made the first contribution, bought more suspicion.
Murong Jue conspired with empress dowager Kezuhun to get rid of Murong Chui. Murong Ke's son Murong Kai and others learned of the news and persuaded Murong Chui to "preemptively attack". Murong Chui did not want to see his brothers and uncles and nephews of the same clan bleeding, so he decided to retreat to the northeast Longcheng to protect himself. Murong Chui's younger son, however, stood up and denounced his father for rebellion.
Desperate, Murong Chui had no choice but to defect to Former Qin's Jian Jian and began a 15-year sojourn career.
In 370, the year after Murong Chui's departure, Former Yan was destroyed by Former Qin. Murong Chui defected to Former Qin, and Jian Jian was overjoyed and personally greeted him on the outskirts of Chang'an.
Like his elder brother Murong Ke, Murong Chui was also a god of war, and was known as "Han (Xin) and Bai of the present."
(from)".
In 383, Jian Jian attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a national army. Many people questioned his adventurous approach, but only a few people, including Murong Chui, expressed their support. Murong Chui's 30,000 troops retreated in the Battle of Shuishui. After the great rout, Jian Jian went to murong chui. Murong Chui did not kill Jian Jian, but led his troops to escort Jian Jian back to Guanzhong. On the way, Murong Chui left Jian jian in the name of Zhenfu Hebei.
In Hebei, Murong Chui began the process of restoring the country. At that time, the town guarding the former Yan capital of Yicheng was The eldest son of Murong Jian, who could not resist Murong Chui's siege, so he surrendered to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and asked the Eastern Jin Dynasty to send people to receive The city of Yiyi was actually using the Eastern Jin Dynasty to counter Murong Chui.
As a famous general of the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Gaozhi led his troops to Pursue Wuqiaoze, where he was suddenly counterattacked by Murong Chui. Liu Was caught off guard and suffered the first big defeat in his life. If it were not for the strength of the BMW under the crotch, the famous generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would have been accounted for there. In 384, Murong Chui's capital Zhongshan was officially restored, and the state name was still Yan. History is called Hou Yan
For the next 10 years, Murong Chui demonstrated his martial prowess, seizing the States of Qing, Yan, and Xu from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, defeating Goguryeo to retake Liaodong, and occupying the rest of Kwantung except for the Northern Wei regime in the Hetao area of Northern Jin... The sphere of influence of Former Yan's heyday was restored. From 393 onwards, Murong Chui sent troops against Western Yan twice, and in 394 captured Murong Yong and annexed Western Yan. While Later Yan was restoring Murong Yan's former glory, a new and powerful enemy appeared.
The same As the Xianbei tribe, when Murong Bu established the state, Tuoba Bu also established his own political power, and the state name was Dai. When Former Yan was destroyed by Former Qin, the Daiguo was also destroyed. After the Battle of Shuishui, Murong Bu and Tuoba Bu also launched their own restoration movements. This is a pair of brothers with the same disease, not only of the same race, but also of intermarriage between their leaders. When Tuoba Si, who later founded the Northern Wei Dynasty, began to restore the country, it was weaker and was once attached to Later Yan, and Later Yan became the suzerainty.
It was only a matter of time before Later Yan met with northern Wei soldiers. This time it was a battle between Murong Bu and Tuoba Bu for the dominance of northern China after Former Qin.
After the Western Expedition destroyed Western Yan, he launched the Northern Expedition against Northern Wei.
But Murong Chui was getting older. His crown prince Murong Bao was weak, and he wanted Murong Bao to establish his authority through a victorious battle. Fighting the Northern Wei Is a battle that must be won. He sent the crown prince, but history made a cruel joke with him. A war that was won steadily, lost a mess, and finally lost the national fortune of Dayan.
Because Murong Chui was old, he gave Northern Wei an excuse to spread rumors that Murong Chui was dead and that the secrets of the state were not mourned. After Tuoba Shu cut off the information channel between Murong Bao's army and the Later Yan capital, rumors fermented, and the Later Yan army was confused. At Sanhepi, the Later Yan army was pit and killed tens of thousands of people.
In desperation, Murong Chui had no choice but to personally take the field at the ancient age and raid Northern Wei, and the Northern Wei lord Tuoba Hang actually fled in anticipation of the wind.
Murong Chui spent his life taking revenge, restoring the former Qin kingdom in his 50s and taking revenge on Northern Wei in his 70s. He alone did the work of others for three generations, a soul figure destined for tragedy.
After the fiasco of Samhepi, when he took revenge on Northern Wei, he faced Tuoba Si, who was his grandchild in age. He didn't lose to anyone, just to time. After hanging the Later Yan generals who were killed by the pit in Sanhepi, Murong Liu vomited blood, fell ill and returned to the division, died of illness on the way, at the age of 71, and a generation of war gods sadly ended. He spent his whole life in revenge. He once returned to the peak with the Murong family, but in the end he could not escape the fate of tribal infighting and talent withering.
