Since the former Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian was defeated in the Battle of Weishui, Murong Chui, the former king of Yan Wu, moved the idea of recovering the country, so he went to Yecheng. At that time, Fu Jianshu's eldest son Fu Pi was stationed in Yecheng, and ordered Murong Trai to garrison the west of the city, and then ordered him to lead 2,000 troops to crusade against the rebels of Ding Ling's leader Zhai Bin, and sent Fu Feilong to lead a thousand Di cavalry as Murong Trai's deputy general, and secretly warned Fu Feilong to beware of Murong Trai's rebellion, and once there was a change, he would kill Murong Trai.

As a result, Murong Chui still knew the so-called secret, so he tricked Fu Feilong into attacking the rebels at night, and sent his sister-in-law Murong Bao to lead the troops to the front, and the concubine Murong Longle followed him and organized the soldiers into five people and one army; He also made a secret appointment with Murong Bao, and after hearing the sound of drums, he flanked the soldiers and Fu Feilong in front and back, killed the Qin army, repatriated all the family members in Qin, and wrote to Fu Jian to explain the reason why he killed Fu Feilong.

As the saying goes, regardless of the heart, everyone is a politician, and no one should talk to anyone about fasting.

In the twentieth year of the former Qin Jianyuan (384), Murong Chui went out hunting, had a banquet in Hualin Garden, and was attacked by the former Qin, and the arrows rained, and Murong Chui was almost trapped, thanks to the champion general Murong Long who led the cavalry to attack the Qin army.

Initially, Zhai Bin cooperated with Murong Chui because he intended to oppose Qin, pushed him as the leader of the alliance and persuaded him to be the emperor, Murong Chui because his nephew Murong Wei, the last emperor, was still there, only called the king of Yan, and acted under the system, with Zhai Bin as the general of Jianyi, and was crowned the king of Henan. In the same year, Murong Wei failed to oppose Qin and was killed, Murong Chui established Houyan and attacked Yecheng defended by Fu Pi, but because he could not attack for a long time, Zhai Bin had two hearts, but turned back to join Qin to resist Yan, and even destroyed the embankment when the Yan army flooded Yecheng, resulting in the failure of the Yan army. So Murong Chui sent the Zhai Bin brothers away.

Zhai Bin's nephew Zhai Zhen led the team to continue to fight against the Yan army, defeated the Yan army, and stationed in Chengying, echoing with the Qin generals Gongsun Xi, Song Chang and others. Gongsun Xi's brother-in-law is Liu Kuren, the general of Zhenwei, the boss of the Xianbei Dugu Tribe. Fu Pi also sent Guangzuo to lead hundreds of troops to Zhongshan (now Dingzhou, Hebei) to meet Zhai Zhen; He also sent Shao Xing, the Taishou of Yangping, to lead thousands of cavalry to Jizhou counties and counties, recruit the old department, and prepare to join Guangzuo in Xiangguo.

At that time, the Yan army was tired, the Qin army gradually recovered, and the counties of Jizhou were waiting to see the success or failure, and Zhao Su, a native of Zhao County, raised troops to respond to Shao Xing. Murong Trai sent Murong Long and Long Xiang's general Zhang Chong to lead an army to attack Shaoxing, and at the same time ordered Murong Long's elder brother, Murong Nong, another son of Murong Trai's other son, the hussar general Murong Nong, to set out from Qinghe and come to rendezvous. Murong Long and Shao Xing fought in Xiangguo, and Shao Xing was defeated and captured by Murong Nong. Guangzuo heard the news and quickly withdrew to Yecheng. Soon, Zhao Su and other uprisings were suppressed, and Jizhou County and County were reinstated in Houyan.

In the second year of Yan Yuan (385), Murong Chui sent another son, Murong Lin, to attack Bohai and Qinghe from Xindu, Murong Lin defeated and captured Bohai Taishou Fengyi alive, and stationed troops in Likou. Murong Long also participated in this battle.

In the same year, Cai Kuang, a deacher of the curtain, rebelled against Yan in the city, and Murong Long and Murong Lin led the army to fight together. Taishan Tai of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was too guarded by Ren Tai to send troops to rescue Cai Kuang, and was discovered eight miles south of Cai Kuang's military base. The generals believed that Cai Kuang had not gone down and the foreign enemy had covered, and the situation was unfavorable. Murong Long said: "Cai Kuang can't hold on, just relying on the help from outside. I see that Ren Tai's army is only a few thousand people, and while they do not merge, we attack Ren Tai and defeat Ren Tai, Cai Kuang will naturally surrender. So he concentrated his forces on attacking Ren Tai, broke it, and beheaded more than a thousand heads. Cai Kuang really surrendered, and Murong killed his entire army.

Subsequently, Murong Long was named the king of Gaoyang.

In the first year of Jianxing (386), Murong Chui led his younger brother Murong De, the king of Fanyang, to the south and sent Murong Long to attack the plains to the east; In the same year, he sent Murong De and Murong Long to attack Jibei Taishou Wenxiang. Wen Shen sent his younger brother Wen Pan to guard the south bank of the river, and his son Wen Kai to guard the Yan army.

In the following year (387), Murong Chui prepared to personally conquer Wen Shen. Murong Long suggested: "The gentle followers are all white-faced Confucian students, and they are in a group, just relying on the long river to consolidate themselves, if the army crosses the river, they will flee and flee without waiting for battle." Murong Chui obeyed. Yan General Pingyou really defeated Wen Xiang's army.

An Ciren Qi Shi led more than 8,000 people to defend Xinzha and Touyan, and soon rebelled and switched to the Eastern Jin Dynasty rebel general Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan rebelled because he took refuge with Zhai Zhen's cousin Zhai Liao. Previously, Zhai Zhen and his cousin Zhai Cheng were killed one after another, and Zhai Liao defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but betrayed the Jin Dynasty again.

Murong Chui was about to march into the army, Murong Long said: "Xinzha is strong, and it can't be attacked at once, if Jiudun troops are under the city, once Zhang Yuan leads the displaced people and attracts Ding Lingren, it will be a big trouble." Although there are many people in Zhang Yuan, they are all newly attached and are not capable of fighting, so we should attack him first. Zhang Yuan's father and son were brave and brave, and they would not avoid the battle, but they could be captured in a battle. Zhang Yuan was defeated, and Qi Shi couldn't protect himself. Murong Chui accepted the advice and ordered Murong Long to march to attack Zhang Yuan.

Murong Long's plan did not go as planned, and he was attacked by Zhang Yuan when he was unsaddled and rested on the way. Murong De retreated before fighting, but Murong Long treated him calmly, and sent his subordinate Wang Mo to attack and kill Zhang Yuan's son Zhang Gui. Murong De returned to meet Murong Long and said to Murong Long: "The thief is sharp, it is advisable to slow down." Murong Long said: "Zhang Yuan is unprepared, and he should have won a big victory; But our soldiers and soldiers were all able to retreat from the enemy because they were separated from Hejin and the situation was urgent. Now the thief army is not profitable, the spirit is exhausted, and they all have the will to advance and retreat, and they can't work together, so we should hurry. Murong De said that he listened to Murong Long. The two took advantage of the victory to pursue, broke Zhang Yuan's department at the mouth of the urn, and beheaded more than 7,800 people; Soon, Qi Shi was captured by the new Zha-man Dongluan and offered Houyan, and the father and son were ambushed.

Zhang Wuren Wang Zu killed Taishou Baiqin, Bohai Zhang Shen rebelled against Yan according to Gaocheng, joined forces with Zhai Liao, Zhang Shen attacked Guangping, and Wang Zu attacked Leling. In the third year of Jianxing (388), Murong Long led an army to attack, and later his cousins Murong Kai and Murong Lin also joined in Hekou and attacked Zhang Shen together; Wang Zutong led all the bases to rescue Zhang Shen, attacked the Yan army at night, and was repelled by the Yan army. Murong Long wanted to chase the defeated army, but Murong Kai and Murong Lin were worried that Wang Zu was defeated. Murong Long said: "These are all thieves in the white land, lucky people who came from the rabble, and they are not professional players who can advance and retreat consistently. If you lose now, you will not be of any use; Take advantage of the momentum to chase it, but only a few miles, you can capture them all. Zhang Shen only relied on Wang Zu, and when Wang Zu broke, Zhang Shen surrendered. So Murong Kai and Murong Lin stayed to see Zhang Shen, and they parted ways with Pingyou to attack, and won a complete victory in Tianming, hanging the head they had obtained to scare Zhang Shen. Zhang Shen really surrendered, and Wang Zu also surrendered.

In the fourth year of Jianxing (389), because Murong Nong thought that Youping and Ping had been peaceful, Murong Chui asked to return to the capital Zhongshan to continue to fight the enemy, and Murong Chong summoned him back to Zhongshan as the lieutenant of Shizhong and Sili, and ordered Murong Long to go to Longcheng to replace him. Murong Long followed Murong Nong's old rules and expanded, and Liao and Jie were stable.

Later, Zhai Wei, which was established by the Zhai family, and Xiyan, who was the emperor of the side branch of the Murong family, were also destroyed by Houyan.

However, since the main army led by Murong Bao, the prince of Later Yan, was rewarded by Hou Yan's former follower Northern Wei for a major defeat, Hou Yan has declined.

In the tenth year of Jianxing (395), Murong wanted to fight back, so Murong Bao's second son, Qinghe Gong Murong Hui, hired Taiwan affairs, led the history of Youzhou Thorn, and replaced Murong Long Town Longcheng; With his uncle Yangcheng Wang Lan Khan as the general of Beizhonglang, he replaced Murong Bao's eldest son, Changle Gong Murong Sheng, to guard Jicheng; Ordered Murong Long and Murong Sheng to lead all their elite troops back to Zhongshan, with a view to making a big move next year.

In the following year (396), Murong Long led the soldiers of Longcheng into Zhongshan, and the army was well organized, so the morale of the Yan army was slightly boosted. So Murong Chui left Murong De to guard Zhongshan, led his troops to set off secretly, crossed Qingling, passed through Tianmen, dug mountains and opened roads, and attacked Wei by surprise, pointing straight to the clouds. Tuoba Jue's cousin Chen Liugong of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Qian led more than 30,000 tribes to defend Pingcheng, and after Murong Chui arrived at Hunting Ridge, he attacked Pingcheng with Murong Nong and Murong Long as the vanguard.

At that time, the Yan army was newly defeated, and they were all afraid of the Wei army, but only Murong Long's Longcheng army did not participate in the battle of Shenhepi, so not only was it not damaged, but also did not have the fear of the enemy, and it fought bravely to be the first. Tuoba Qian was not equipped, rushed to battle, was defeated and died, and the Yan army collected all his tribes.

If it continues, Murong Chui can solve the Northern Wei Dynasty once and for all, and Tuoba Jue is also ready to leave. But then the Yan army passed by Shenhepi, Murong Trai fell ill under grief and anger, and after ten days in Pingcheng, his illness became serious, so he retired from the army, and Murong Trai died on the way.

Houyan's decline has been uncontrollable since then.
