Chapter 39 Aiding and abetting

In December 369, Fu Jian heard that the envoy had come to report that the former Yan Emperor Murong Wei refused to cede the land for help, and refused to perform the cession of land. Fu Jian was furious, so he summoned Wang Meng, a strategist who was about to leave, to discuss together, only to see Wang Meng say: "Now that Murong Ping, the minister of Yan State, is in charge, the national government is in a miasma, and he has cut off his arm and forced Murong Chui away, Weichen is willing to take the army to destroy it, and the emperor can be in Chang'an, waiting for Weichen's good news!" ”

Fu Jian said happily: "With Aiqing leading the troops, I don't have to worry about it, what else does Aiqing want, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Wang Meng pondered for a moment and said: "Weichen originally wanted to use Murong Chui as a guide to destroy his country, but I am afraid that he will feel ashamed in his heart, so it is better for the emperor to appoint his son Murong Ling as the general of Weichen, and let Murong Ling be the guide to destroy the Yan country!" ”

Fu Jian laughed and said, "Aiqing is extremely worried, I will draft an edict now. ”

Wang Meng smiled without saying a word, and took the order back.

At the beginning of 370 AD, the Former Qin army was ready to stop, just waiting for Emperor Fu Jian's order.

The night before the expedition, Wang Meng ordered all the soldiers to stay in the camp, and he came to Murong Chui Mansion by light car, Murong Chui saw that the emperor's high-ranking and powerful ministers came to the cold house, and hurriedly went out of the house to greet him. In the living room, Murong Chui greeted Wang Meng with a smile, Wang Meng also wanted to let each other, as if they had met each other, Murong Chui immediately ordered his subordinates to kill pigs and sheep, put out a banquet, and invited Wang Meng to the table. The two of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, so polite, Murong Chui toasted frequently, and said: "Thanks to your care, this time the adults took the dog to the expedition, which is to reward the emperor for his favor, and the last general is grateful!" ”

Wang Meng drank all the wine, and laughed: "The general is both civil and military, and his prestige is prominent, I wanted to order the general to be the striker, but I am afraid that the general will see that the old country is broken, his heart is like a knife, and the tiger father has no dog, so I will persuade the emperor to order the descendants of the general to go on the expedition, if the great success is completed, the first son of the next generation can be experienced, and the second general can also be rewarded, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!" ”

Murong stood up and bowed, and said, "Those who know my heart, Lord Wang is also!" This arrangement, the adults have good intentions, it is really the grace of my family, please accept the last general's worship! ”

Wang Meng hurriedly got up to stop him, picked up the wine glass, and said excitedly: "The general doesn't have to be polite, Su asked the general to be affectionate and righteous, what I saw today, it is true, we are full of this cup, how about brothers?" ”

Murong was stunned for a moment, thinking: How can you be called a brother and sister to this king, but Wang Meng is convinced that he can rely on him first, and then find an opportunity to stand on his own in the future. After thinking about it, he hurriedly got up, respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency is kind, and the end will be terrified." ”

Wang Meng also got up, held Murong Hang's shoulders, and laughed: "How can the general be so polite, since he is about a brother, he doesn't need to be polite, tomorrow I will lead the troops on an expedition, it is not easy to drink more, the general is bold, I really can't bear to leave, can you give me something, so that I can see things and think about people on the journey?" ”

After hearing this, Murong Trai looked around, touched his whole body, and then took off the golden knife accessories around his waist, handed them to Wang Meng with both hands, and said: "What's so difficult about this, the golden knife on my waist was given by my father, and I have carried it with me for decades, and I can give it to my lord." ”

Wang Meng took the golden knife, thanked him again and again, and left Murong Chui Mansion and went straight to the army camp.

The next day, Fu Jian gave an order, Wang Meng led the army to the east, when the army was about to arrive in Luoyang, that night, there was a messenger holding Murong Chui golden knife, came to Murong Ling's tent, Murong Ling saw the golden knife, knew that it was the messenger sent by his father, so he asked: "What is my father's command to call you to the camp?" ”

The envoy said to Murong Ling: "The prince asked me to tell the prince that the reason why the prince defected to Guanzhong was nothing more than to avoid trouble. Now Wang Meng treats the prince like a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and he is always excluded, while Fu Jian is courteous on the surface, but he is suspicious of the prince. It is inevitable that the prince will die, not to mention that Murong Wei, the emperor of Yan State, has already repented and sent someone to ask the prince to return to Yecheng. The prince is already on his way home, and this time he sent me with a golden knife as a witness, and I hereby tell him that the prince can take the opportunity to return to Yecheng as soon as possible. ”

Murong Ling saw that the person who came was holding a golden knife, and he had no doubts in his heart, and within a few days, he took advantage of the opportunity to hunt and fled back to Yecheng, and Wang Meng immediately sent someone to report the matter to Fu Jian, and wrote a letter to persuade him to kill Murong Chui.

Murong Chui also soon learned the news of Murong Ling's defection, and was shocked, knowing that he could not defend himself, he hurriedly fled, but was quickly captured by the former Qin soldiers. However, what surprised Wang Meng was that Fu Jian did not know Wang Meng's good intentions at all, and he did not suspect Murong Chui's escape, but personally comforted him and promised to bring him to reinforce Wang Meng and return to Yecheng.

Murong Ling returned to Yecheng, and was even more suspicious of the emperor Murong Wei, Murong Wei sent him to Liaoxi to defend the city, but Murong Ling knew that he was not trusted, and wanted to raise troops to rebel again, but was killed by his generals.

At this time, the former Yan Emperor Murong Weiwen Wang Meng led the army to attack, and then ordered Murong Ping to pour more than 300,000 soldiers from all over the country to meet the battle, but Murong Ping had no talent to command the army, and was defeated by Wang Meng in Luchuan, Murong Ping led the remnants to flee back to Yecheng, Wang Meng led the army to take advantage of the victory and approached Yecheng, Fu Jian heard the news, and quickly led Murong Chui to lead the army to help, and Wang Meng besieged Yecheng. The former Yan Emperor Murong Wei knew that the capital was not safe, so he led the Queen Mother, Murong Ping and other cadres to flee to the old capital of Longcheng, but Murong Wei was familiar with the road and personally led the troops to chase after him, and finally captured Murong Wei and others and dedicated them to Fu Jian. Until the death of Yan before, from Murong Hao's claim to the king to Murong Wei's capture, he enjoyed the country for 33 years.

Soon, the city of Yecheng was broken, and Murong Chui hurried to the mansion, gathered all the sons, and wept opposite each other.

At this time, Fu Jian was in the camp and heard that Yang Tong, the younger brother of Yang Shi, the Duke of Qiuchi, had sent an envoy to see him, and he quickly recruited the envoy to enter the account. The envoy bowed into the tent and cried: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, since the death of Qiu Chigong, his son Yang Su attacked the lord, Yang Su colluded with the Jin court, intending to rebel, my lord Yang Tong advised but could not, so he raised troops to rebel, I don't want Yang Su to unite with the Jin army, defeat my lord, my lord specially ordered me to ask for help!" ”

When Fu Jian heard this, he was bound to be furious, so he beckoned Wang Meng to come and ask for advice. If you want to know what Wang Meng said, please see the next chapter.
