The Murong family, a strong family in history, is not only famous on the battlefield, but also quite eye-catching, so it often becomes the male protagonist in the crossing. Beginning with the establishment of the Yan State (former Yan) by Murong Hao, the Murong family established four dynasties in the Central Plains and Tuyuhun in the Western Regions. However, the most remarkable achievement of Murong Hao's life was not the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, but the birth of several extraordinary sons, they are Murong Jun, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Murong De, Murong Rong, and Murong Huan. Among them, three founding monarchs were born, who can be called the first generation of the Murong family. And the first to emerge was undoubtedly the first general of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Murong Ke.
At the age of sixteen, Murong Ke defeated Goguryeo as a god of war, causing Goguryeo to collapse, and Koreans still have lingering palpitations when they mention Murong Ke. Then, he followed Han Xin's example and successfully defeated Ran Min, the first brave general of China. In the next few years, with the courage of Murong Ke, Dayan defeated the Eile, Xiongnu and Eastern Jin Dynasty one after another, forming a pattern of standing with the former Qin and Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, with the death of Murong Ke, Murong Chui, another god of war of the Murong family, was forced to defect to the former Qin Fujian, and the former Yan also perished under the offensive of the former Qin, leaving only a family motto: Restore the Great Yan and take back the country!
After the Battle of Weishui, the former Qin Fujian returned in defeat, and Murong was sick in bed, the crown prince Murong Bao picked up the banner of the Northern Expedition and led 80,000 elite troops to the north. However, the war broke out in Shenhepi, the Yan army encountered an ambush by the Northern Wei Dynasty, 30,000 people were beheaded, more than 40,000 people were captured and killed, and only a few thousand people escaped. Murong Chui had to get up from the sickbed, skillfully carved a mountain road, and attacked Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so that the Pingcheng garrison was annihilated, and the Yan army returned victorious.
However, when he returned to the former battlefield to participate in Hepi, the ghosts of the Yan people on the mass grave seemed to be still lingering in the mountains. Murong Trai was in deep pain and vomited blood, and at the age of seventy, he could no longer recover from this battle. In this final battle, Murong Trai's military command had reached its peak. However, as Murong Fu said, participating in the Hepi was the end of the glory of the Murong family.
Murong De, who was responsible for guarding the southern border, led the lone army, and in desperation, went south to rebuild Dayan, known as Nanyan in history. Murong De became the last glory of the ** generation, and Nanyan gradually grew under his rule, maintaining the prosperity of the party. However, in 410 AD, Liu Yu's northern expedition to the Southern Yan, the Southern Yan was destroyed, and all the 3,000 royal children of the Murong family were beheaded outside Jiankang City.
