Chapter 464: Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
As the saying goes, the strong are self-reliant, and the abandoners are self-abandoned! If a person wants to earn the respect of others, he must first strive for self-improvement. If you can't do your best, what right do you have to ask others to respect you! Therefore, Xun Xian used any righteousness to suppress Jia Jian, which was not right at all. From this point, it can also be seen what is going on in the minds of Jiang Zuo's group of ministers. is only thinking about the interests of the royal family and clan, and will not even persuade others.
If Li Xin had been replaced in this matter, he would definitely not have done this. For a person like Jia Jian, it is obvious that he is a good talent, and what he considers is not pedantic loyalty to the king, but from the perspective of the people.
If such a person wants to persuade him, he naturally has to start from the people. Only by impressing him from the perspective of the survival of the people can he naturally make him surrender. can only say that Xun Xian is really not enough to succeed, and he wasted such a good talent.
This is also one of the places where Li Xin looks down on Jiang Zuo, as long as someone surrenders, they are too happy, and they don't care whether others are sincere or not. And the final result is that these people who surrendered to others surrendered a few days later.
Occupying such a large piece of territory and having so many great opportunities, Jiang Zuo obviously has the opportunity to restore the Central Plains and dominate the mountains and rivers again. As a result, they were all screwed up by themselves.
The most obvious example is the case with Ran Wei a few years ago. At the beginning of the army, Ran Min sent someone to tell Jiang Zuo that now was a good time to eliminate the Hu people, and Jiang Zuo could send troops north if he wanted to.
As a result, Jiang Zuo's group of people ignored it, and they didn't even send a single soldier over, they would rather believe in the Hu clan of the Murong clan than the Han people of Ran Min.
As a result, the final result was that the Murong clan eliminated Ran Wei, and finally replaced Hou Zhao, and successfully rose to become Jiang Zuo's biggest enemy.
If it had been Li Xin who was in charge of Jiangzuo at the beginning, I am afraid that this would not have been the result. At that time, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if we could send troops at this time, where would the world be like this now?
However, for Li Xin, these things can only be just a thought, after all, what is lost is impossible to come back. What you have to do is only on your own, and now there seems to be a trend of getting more and more fierce between Yan and Jin, so you might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Not long after Tu Qi reported the news of Xun Xian's troops, the situation on the battlefield changed greatly.
The first one is that after Murong Ke eliminated the forces of the Qingzhou Duan Shrine, Qingzhou had already become the boundary of the Yan Kingdom, and he left Murong Chen to guard the local area for the Qingzhou Assassin History.
As for Taishan County, it happens to be not far southwest of Qingzhou. Therefore, after Murong Chen found out that Shanqi County was lost, he immediately sent someone to rescue him.
He sent his own Sima Yueming to save Taishan County, and as a result, Xun Xian was defeated in the first battle, and Shanqi County was brought back. In this way, Xun Xian's efforts in the early stage are almost no different from those of the water.
Perhaps because he was impressed by Jia Jian's unyieldingness, after Murong Jun retrieved Shanchi, he let Jia Jian's son take the position of Taishan Taishou.
After this defeat, Xun Xian directly retreated. Because of his illness, he had no way to lead troops to fight again, so the court had to recall him, and then Xi Tan temporarily replaced him.
If you want to talk about this Xi Tan, he was very famous in the Wei and Jin dynasties, firstly, because he was a disciple of the Xi family, and his background was not low. Another aspect is because his calligraphy is good.
Xi Tan is Xi Chao's uncle, and his brother-in-law is even more famous, the famous Wang Xizhi! And his daughter later married Wang Xianzhi, but in the end it is said that she divorced.
Judging from this situation, this is not an ordinary person! But the problem is that this person is superior to learning or has strength, but if he is allowed to lead the troops to fight, it is definitely not his strength. After Li Xin heard the news, he just shook his head and didn't say a word. If Xi Chao led the troops, I'm afraid he wouldn't behave like this.
After Xi Tan arrived, he led the army to garrison Xiapi and did not take any action for the time being. After all, the great army has only experienced defeat, and this is the time when the north wind is cold and the march is difficult, and it is really not the time to send troops again.
In the blink of an eye, the time is the end of December again, and the year is about to pass. Being able to live with peace of mind for two years in a row is a rare and comfortable time for Li Xin.
Compared to his happiness, it was difficult for Murong Trai to be happy.
After the battle with Murong Ke against Huan Wen in Luoyang, Murong Jun let him restore the title of King Wu as the only one who had won a victory among the several soldiers. However, he remained in the capital since then and has not been reappointed.
Who would have thought that this is the end of the year, but the disaster is coming again. This time, it was Murong Jun's queen who attacked him.
Murong Chui's wife's surname is Duan, which is a noble surname in the Xianbei clan, and she is quite talented, so she naturally thinks highly of herself.
Murong Jun's queen is the opposite, this queen is the Kezuhun clan, which is far worse than the surname Duan. Moreover, the queen herself has a bad character, so this makes the Duan family look down on her very much, and when they usually meet, they are a little impolite.
But Zuhun is not a good-tempered person, how can he allow the Duan family to look down on himself? Therefore, they let her be arrested directly.
Murong Jun usually hates Murong Chui, and many people know about this. As a result, Zhongchang Servant Nie Hao, that is, the head of the eunuchs in the palace, found an excuse to falsely accuse Duan and an official subordinate of King Wu of doing witchcraft, wanting to link Murong Chui to it.
I have to say that this Murong Chui is still very popular. Therefore, even if the Duan family and that official suffered and tortured a lot, they didn't involve him, anyway, they just gritted their teeth and didn't admit it.
After Murong Chui heard about the situation inside, he couldn't help but privately send someone to tell the Duan clan and ask her to admit the matter so as not to suffer any more. But the Duan clan resolutely refused, and finally died in prison, and it was precisely because of this that Murong Chui was able to get out of trouble.
However, Murong Jun did not let him go like this, and then transferred him to other places to serve as the assassin of Pingzhou. Pingzhou is far away from Yecheng, and at that time it was the northern border of the Yan Kingdom, compared to many other places in the Central Plains, it was really a bitter cold place!
Although Murong Trai was resentful in his heart, he had no choice but to obediently take office. However, feeling his wife's kindness to him, he married his little ~ sister-in-law as his stepfamily.
Who would have thought that the Zuhun clan was dissatisfied again, and abolished his second wife, but forcibly married his sister to Murong Chui.
Of course, Murong Chui will not be satisfied with this wife who is forced to give him, especially the woman who may also take Murong Jun to spy on him. Therefore, the relationship between the husband and wife is definitely not much better.
And his wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp, anyway, if he is angry, he will go to complain to his sister. As a result, Murong Jun's side became more and more disgusted with Murong Chui.
Therefore, Murong Chui is more unlucky, he obviously didn't do anything, and this disaster fell on him.
But for Li Xin, this kind of struggle within the Yan Kingdom may be a good thing. So, if there is anything like this over there, it will be collected one by one, and then all of it will be reported to him.
"Murong Chui is one of the truly powerful people in Yan Country, if he leaves, it will be a good thing for us! Although it is not a betrayal of Yan Kingdom, at least, there is one less person who threatens us on the Yecheng side! Li Xin, who heard the news, was sympathetic, but he was happy.
In the entire Yan Kingdom, the two people he valued most were Murong Ke and Murong Chui, and as for the others, they were basically not in his eyes. Although he said that even if he faced it head-on, he would not be afraid of anything, but after all, it is better not to make things too complicated if they can be simpler.
"General, this year is almost over, and it seems that there shouldn't be much movement on Huan Wen's side for the time being. Between the two sides of Yan and Jin, it is very likely that the current situation will be maintained for a while. This is a rare opportunity for us! Tu Qi said after the report.
"Well, it's all in progress! Now, it's up to the fish to take the bait. You tell our people to keep an eye on the situation over there, and if there's any movement, report it immediately! Li Xin knew what he meant, and after a deep groan, he commanded.
"My subordinates understand, and I will definitely tell them well!"
Since he didn't stay in Guanzhong for the New Year last year, this made Li Xin feel a little ashamed of Zhou Ting. In addition, he has already gone to various places to inspect once this year, so he decided not to leave Chang'an before the end of the year.
In this way, this time he had a good year. Counting Zhou Fang and a group of people in the house, it was really lively.
Time flew by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it entered the three years of Shengping.
After two years of recuperation, the current Huashan Army has not only fully recovered, but also greatly increased its strength. The number of people in the territory has increased several times compared to when these territories were first laid.
Especially with the development of education and talent policies, and the increasing number of reserve talents, the development of Huashan Army is naturally getting better and better. Compared with the chaos in other parts of the world, the situation on the side of the Huashan Army can be described as a unique scenery, and everything is developing in a better direction.
