Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 391 Repeating the same trick

Chapter 391 Repeating the same trick
Chang'an, Shangshutai.

Huan Xi and Wang Meng were still continuing their previous conversation. When Wang Meng heard Huan Xi praising that Murong Chui's intelligence was not inferior to Murong Ke's, his heart sank.

He had fought against Murong Ke. When Wang Meng was in Luoyang, Murong Ke had seen through Murong Ke's plan to lure the enemy. Therefore, he knew very well how difficult Murong Ke was.

Now, there is another Murong Chui who is no worse than Murong Ke. It can be seen that it may not be easy for Liang Jun to take advantage of the northern front.

Huan Xi saw Wang Meng's sad face and said with a smile:

"No matter how strong the city is, even if it has copper walls and iron walls, once there is an internal problem, I can easily capture it.

"Even though Murong Chui is talented, he has been at odds with Murong Jun for a long time. If he uses a clever trick to alienate him, they might be able to cause trouble for Xiao Qiang."

Huan Xi wanted to sow discord, but it brought back bad memories of Wang Meng. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Back then, Liang Gong wanted to use Fu Sheng's help to get rid of Fu Jian, but he asked Yu Zun to prevent Fu Jian from disaster. Instead, he only added fuel to the flames and allowed Fu Jian to seize the throne with his side. Now it has become a serious problem for us."

When Huan Xi heard this, even with his thick skin, he actually turned red. He emphasized:
"Fu Sheng and Fu Jian have no quarrel, but the Murong brothers have deep grievances. How can they be compared?"

When Huan Xi wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, Fu Sheng trusted Fu Jian. This was the key reason why the original plan failed.

Huan Xi and Wang Meng talked about the history of Murong Chui's name change and said with confidence:
"I predict that not only will Murong Chui become resentful for this, but it will also put a thorn in Murong Jun's heart. As long as the prophecy technique is used well, their brothers will turn against each other."

As for Murong Jun and Murong Chui, it is easy to operate.

After Murong Han was injured in a battle, he stayed at home to recuperate. When he had nothing to do, he tried to ride a horse. However, after Murong Huang heard about this, he actually believed that Murong Han was plotting rebellion, and immediately gave him poison and forced him to commit suicide.

Murong Xianbei's founder, Murong Jun's grandfather Murong Xin, forced his eldest brother Murong Tuyuhun to leave Liaodong sadly and led his tribe to move thousands of miles away and settle in Hexi.

It can be seen from this that fearing and hating a person, even if he rides a horse at home, are ironclad evidence of rebellion.

But instigating Murong Jun and Murong Chui was not a problem at all.

Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was regarded as a model of a wise king by later generations, unjustly killed Li Junxian because his nickname was Wu Niangzi, which was in line with the prophecy that "after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine Wu Wang will rule the world".

The art of prophecy has been a weapon for killing people since ancient times.

Huan Xi wanted Fu Sheng, who trusted Fu Jian, to kill Fu Jian because of rumors. It was indeed very difficult.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. The Murong family has a tradition of internal strife.

Murong Jun's father, Murong Huang, also followed suit. His eldest brother, Murong Han, was jealous of him and had to abandon the country and flee. He sought refuge with Duanbu Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei successively.

Not to mention that Yang Guang killed the clan of Li Mu, the first hero of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, just because he said that the Li family was popular.

After that, Murong Huang tried every means to welcome back Murong Han, and Murong Han also relied on his understanding of the Yuwen Department to help Murong Huang annex Yuwen Xianbei, but the brothers were ultimately incompatible.

Murong Chui's real name was Murong Ba. Because he fell off a horse and broke a tooth when he was young, he was ridiculed by Murong Jun and changed his name to Murong (Que). Later, because the word (Que) violated the prophecy document, he omitted the right half of it. Wei, changed his name to Murong Chui.

What's more, they are brothers Murong Jun and Murong Chui.

If Murong Jun didn't have a thorn in his heart, how could he hastily change Murong's name to Murong Chui.

And it was this that Huan Xi wanted to take advantage of. He didn't care whether Murong Jun would kill Murong Chui, but what he cared more about was whether Murong Chui believed that Murong Jun would let him go.

Wang Meng's eyes couldn't help but shine as he listened to Huan Xi's detailed description.

Of course he knew that Murong Jun had conflicts with Murong Chui, but he didn't know much about the history of Murong Chui's name change, so he didn't expect that there were such twists and turns in it.

Since there was a thorn buried in their hearts, all they had to do was to pull out the thorn and display it dripping with blood in front of Murong Jun and Murong Chui's eyes.

"In this case, Wei Chen will arrange for people to spread the prophecy."

Wang Meng said excitedly.

Huan Xi stopped him:
"There is no need to rush. When the war breaks out and the Yan army divides its forces, it will not be too late to make plans."

Wang Meng mistakenly thought that Huan Xi loved talents and wanted to force Murong Chui to rebel and use him for his own use. He immediately moved out the example of Yuwen Xianbei who kindly took in Murong Han, but Murong Han repaid kindness with revenge. He wanted to convince Huan Xi that even if Murong Chui fled, he , nor should he be accommodated, and any future troubles should be eliminated as soon as possible.

How could Huan Xi not know the story of the farmer and the snake? With Fu Jian's example in the original time and space, how could he really dare to believe those white-eyed wolves in the Murong family.

"Sir, don't worry. It's okay if Murong Chui doesn't come. If he runs away from Liang Kingdom, I will kill him."

After all, if Murong Chui cannot be reused, the more outstanding his talent is, the greater the threat he will pose.

Huan Xi would not leave Murong Chui idle and give him a chance to escape.

As for the excuse for killing, it is not difficult to find. Murong Huang could think that Murong Han wanted to rebel because he was riding a horse at home, and Huan Xi could also frame Murong Chui as caring about his homeland because he left the house with his left foot first.

Of course, there is currently no intelligence confirmation on whether Lian Murongchui will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army's partial division, and whether the Yan Army will really divide its forces.

At the same time, it is unknown whether the alienation plan will work.

Huan Xi was planning how to deal with Murong Chui at this time, and he was somewhat ambitious.

However, Huan Xi quickly verified his guess. It was not the information leaked from Yan State, but the information sent back by Wang Yuan in Jinyang.

Since Murong Jun wanted to divide his troops and not join Fu Jian with the main force, he naturally wanted to inform Fu Jian of this matter in advance so that Fu Jian could be prepared.

I don't know where Li Wei got the news. Maybe he was in bed with Queen Mother Gou, or maybe he was called to discuss it by Fu Jian. In short, he talked about it with Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan's relationship with Li Wei is now getting closer.

When Li Wei was trapped in Chang'an, it was the darkest moment in his life. Wang Yuan persuaded Huan Xi to release him. It can be said that Wang Yuan dragged Li Wei out of the abyss. Li Wei regarded him as a confidant. What's the point? Naturally, we will discuss matters with him.

After Huan Xi confirmed that Murong Jun was going to divide his troops, he finally let go of his worries.

He immediately put the matter aside for the time being, because he still had one more important thing to deal with, which was about Tuoba Yan, the Dowager Zuoxian who Huan Xi missed, and she would come to Chang'an to meet him tomorrow. See.
