In history, Wang Zhen's evil ending was very miserable, and he was killed by Shen Tianzi on the false charge of rebellion, and other brothers and nephews were also killed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Later generations often blamed Wang Zhenxi's death on his sexual greed, but Wei Shuo believed that Liu Yu was largely responsible for Wang Zhenxi's death.

First of all, as the king, Liu Yu did not punish Wang Zhen when he was corrupt, but deliberately connived.

In fact, Liu Yu can't be blamed for this, almost all kings in history will connive at their generals to be greedy for money.

Even some generals with high political IQ will take the opportunity to show that they have no ambitions.

In history, Wang Zhen's reputation for evil and greed is well-known at home and abroad, and it may not be without suspicion of deliberate self-defilement.

It must be known that as the grandson of the famous Wang Meng, and with outstanding talents, if there are no shortcomings, how can Liu Yu sleep peacefully?

Later, Liu Yu sent Wang Zhenwei to stay in Chang'an, and was worried that the grandson of Wang Meng, who was very famous and meritorious in Guanzhong, would do the old thing, so he secretly instructed Shen Tianzi that he could be punished at a critical moment to prevent future troubles.

The reason why Liu Yu made such an arrangement was mainly because he was afraid of Wang Zhenxi's reputation in Guanzhong.

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Wang Zhenwei was the former army commander, and later the forward army was short of food, so he personally led the team to raise military food near Tongguan.

After the people nearby learned that Wang Zhenwei was the grandson of Prime Minister Wang Meng, they were as kind as seeing relatives, and they enthusiastically supported the front together, "bidding to send Yisu" to support Wang Zhenevil.

And after Wang Zhenwei easily made the news of the "revival of military food" reach Liu Yu's ears, Liu Yu was shocked into a cold sweat.

A series of factors accumulated, which finally led to Wang Zhenwei being killed at the peak of his life.

Wei Shuo thought that the Hexi Army was different from the old army, and as long as Wang Zhenwei was not stupid, he would never dare to defy the law.

Moreover, he did not have the bad habit of forcing his subordinates to defile themselves and protect themselves, so Wang Zhen Evil would not go to historical tragedy again.

……

Approaching the Spring Festival, it is time to purchase a New Year's gift, in order to win over Houyan, this year's Tiefu Department has made a bloody investment.

I heard that Murong Chui was brave all his life and could fight well, but he had two hobbies: one loves famous horses, and the other loves beautiful women.

Liu Weichen did what he liked, searched the tribes of Shuofang and Hetao, and sent several good horses and more than a dozen beauties to Murong Chui.

Such a great dedication is nothing more than trying to curry favor with Murong Chui and then destroy the Wei Yan Alliance.

From the first year of Tuoba's accession to the throne, that is, 386 AD, to the sixth year of his accession (391 AD), the Northern Wei and Later Yan have maintained an alliance for five years.

During this period, Tuoba Jue, with the help of Murong Chui of Houyan, first defeated Tuoba Cave Foundation, and then Dugu Bu, stabilizing the throne of King Wei.

Then, he marched north to Kumoxi and won a great victory.

Then, he began to annex the Gaoche tribes, and successively annexed the Rububu, Yuan, Sutu, Xi, Qinu, and Douchen.

In the end, he relied on Murong Trai to wipe out his uncle's Helan Department.

By the sixth year of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba had basically unified most of the Daidi and greatly increased its strength.

In the face of such a strong opponent, Liu Weichen was already quite difficult to fight alone, not to mention that Murong Chui was still clubbed behind his back.

……

Liu Weichen and Tuoba Jue vied with each other to send envoys, which caused fierce debates in the Later Yan court.

Some advocated the continuation of the Yan-Wei Alliance; It was also suggested that the Tiefu Ministry should be united to contain the increasingly powerful Northern Wei Dynasty.

Murong Chui was very happy with the famous horses and beauties that Liu Weichen had offered, but he couldn't make up his mind about his alliance proposal.

As a last resort, Murong Chui then recruited the crown prince Murong Bao, Murong Lin, the king of Zhao, and Murong De, the king of Fanyang, into the palace to discuss secretly.

Murong De, the king of Fanyang, had extraordinary knowledge, and he was afraid that the Northern Wei Dynasty would become more and more powerful, so he advocated an alliance with the Xiongnu Tiefu Tribe.

"The rapid rise of Wei has posed a huge threat to Great Yan, and if it is not tried to take it, it will definitely become a confidant one day."

"Now Liu Weichen wants to form an alliance with Dayan, it must be to plot against the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"This is the opportunity to remove the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the minister asks His Majesty to lead the troops westward and unite with Liu Weichen to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is the best policy."

It is a pity that Murong De's correct advice was not adopted by Murong Chui, who in Murong Chui's opinion exaggerated the threat of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Hou Yan.

Murong Chui, the king of Yan, was very unimpressed by this, he always thought that Tuoba Jue was just a child, and he was not to be afraid.

Moreover, the Northern Wei Dynasty sent tribute every year and behaved very respectfully, how could it become a problem for the Yan Kingdom?

At this time, Murong Bao and the others did not agree to send troops to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and like Murong Chui, they did not think that the Northern Wei Dynasty was a threat to Dayan.

Over the years, Hou Yan has long been bought by Tuoba Jue, including the crown prince Murong Bao, a large number of civil and military ministers, and every year they receive gifts and beauties from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In addition, Tuoba Jue is very good at pretending to be pitiful, so that except for Murong De, no one realizes that the Northern Wei Dynasty has already been reborn.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Murong to betray the alliance, Murong De had no choice but to propose to make the Great Yan Kingdom neutral, not to get involved in the dispute between Tuoba Jue and Liu Weichen, and let the two of them solve any problems.

He looked directly at Murong Chui and said generously: "Your Majesty, although the King of Wei is young, he has high aspirations in his heart, how can he be underestimated!" ”

"Now that the Wei State is growing, Mobei has no strong rivals."

"At present, north of the Yellow River, the only one who can compete with Yan is Weier!"

"The younger brother thinks that if he is allowed to recuperate and grow stronger, it will definitely become a disaster for the future of Dayan, and Your Majesty must not take it lightly."

Fortunately, Murong Trai had not lost all his ambitions, and coupled with Murong De's repeated words, he listened to it a little bit, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that what he said was not unreasonable.

"In the words of the emperor's brother, what should I do?"

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to bear the infamy of betraying the alliance, Hou Yanming maintained the alliance with the Northern Wei Dynasty on the surface, but in fact took a neutral policy."

"Neutrality?"

"Well, this move is to encourage Liu Weichen to do something, while Hou Yan sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight."

"If Liu Weichen wins by luck, His Majesty will send troops under the banner of revenge for friends, and the Great Yan Iron Cavalry will sweep the Hetao to completely lay the foundation for hegemony."

"However, from the perspective of the younger brother, it is too difficult for Liu Weichen to win."

"Even if Liu Weichen is not Tuoba Jue's opponent, he can take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty so that it cannot become a future trouble for the Great Yan."

"Well, King Fan Yang's proposal is very good, and it is very heartfelt."

……

I have to say that Tuoba Jue has been very successful in infiltrating Houyan, and if the policy changes slightly, it will already get the news there.

When Tuoba Jue heard that Murong Chui was suspicious of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was very anxious and immediately convened all the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Almost all the important ministers agreed that Liu Weichen was currently eyeing Shengle, and the Northern Wei Dynasty could not afford to lose Houyan as an ally.

Accepting the suggestion of his subordinates, Tuoba Yao sent an envoy with a large amount of property to Yan State, and sent Tuoba Yao to Zhongshan as a proton.

After Tuoba Yao arrived in the Yan Kingdom, he first presented gifts to Murong Chui, and then expressed King Wei's admiration to King Yan on behalf of his brother.

Seeing Tuoba Yao crawling at his feet, Murong was full of ambition, feeling that Tuoba Yao was still very afraid of himself, otherwise he would not hear a trace of wind, so he couldn't wait to come to pay tribute, and also sent the younger brother of a fellow mother as a hostage.

Even Murong Chui jokingly talked about Liu Weichen's desire to unite with Hou Yan to plot the Northern Wei Dynasty in front of the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and almost didn't scare the envoy's soul out.

As soon as the envoy returned to Shengle, he immediately informed Tuoba of Liu Weichen's conspiracy coefficient, and became more and more determined to destroy Liu Weichen.

……

Unlike the Northern Wei Dynasty, which celebrated the New Year happily, Liu Weichen was very unhappy after being rejected by Murong Chui.

Liu Zhili said disapprerovitically: "Father Khan, Murong Chui can't come to pull him down, without his help, the Tiefu Department will destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty." ”

"Hmph, naïve! What do you think of the Northern Wei Dynasty? Say extinguished? ”

"What's more, Tuoba Jue is eloquent and strategic, and there are many talents under his command, and none of your brothers are his opponents."

After Liu Weichen reprimanded Liu Zhili, he looked at his other son, Liu Youdaidi, and asked, "What does the boss think?" ”

"Father Khan, the Northern Wei Dynasty is strong in the army, and the Tiefu Department is probably not its opponent."

"But in recent years, the Northern Wei Dynasty has continuously sent troops to annex the surrounding tribes, and there are many enemies."

"We can unite with other forces to fight it together to get rid of this henchman."

"Well, my son's words are exactly what I want, and you can tell me which side we should unite?

"Now Houyan refuses to form an alliance, leaving only Xiyan, Houqin, Rouran, and Hexi."

"Please take advantage of the New Year to send envoys, promise heavy benefits, and induce all parties to send troops to help."

"Even if you send protons to the other party, you will not hesitate."
