Chapter 844: Insidious Premeditation
Huan Wen looked at Murong Khan, frowned, and said, "This king's status is in jeopardy, how is this possible?" General Murong is really good at laughing. ”
Obviously, Huan Wen did not think that his position would be threatened, although he could not annex Yangzhou for the time being, but there would always be opportunities in the future, and he felt that the reason why Murong Khan said this was because he had other intentions, in order to win him over to deal with Hua'an together.
Murong Khan smiled, looked at Huan Wen, and said: "The status of the king of the south is worry-free for the time being, but the power of the king of the north is getting bigger and bigger, sooner or later, it will be unfavorable to the king of the south. ”
Seeing that Murong Khan finally clarified his intentions, Huan Wen was even more sure of his judgment, and he could already determine that the purpose of Murong Khan's visit was to ally with him to jointly deal with the threat of Hua'an.
Huan Wen smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Murong Khan, and said: "General Murong is here, I'm afraid it's not to relieve the worries of this king, but to use the strength of this king to deal with the king of the north!" Hahaha! He laughed.
Murong Khan did not deny it, and hugged his fists and said: "What the King of the South said is that in coming to Xunyang City, in addition to relieving the worries of the King of the South, at the same time, it is also for the Great Yan Kingdom not to be threatened by the King of the North, judging from the current situation, the King of the North is the common threat of the King of the South and my Great Yan Kingdom, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the King of the South should cooperate with my Great Yan Kingdom to resist the enemy together!" After speaking, he looked at Huan Wen.
Obviously, Murong Khan felt that Huan Wen would not refuse his good intentions.
"Hahaha! General Murong is really fast-talking, and this king likes people like General Murong, but with the strength of this king, it may not be worse than the king of the north, how does General Murong know that the king of the north will override the head of this king in the future. Instead of this king control zhì North King? Huan Wen said loudly.
Obviously, as the king of the south with hundreds of thousands of troops, Huan Wen is very confident, he doesn't think that he will lose to Hua'an, after all, Hua'an is in the north. Facing the huge threat of the Yan Dynasty and other countries at any time, and the south controlled by Huan Wen does not have a strong opposition force, therefore, the rear is more stable, and once he finds the right opportunity to take Yangzhou, he can achieve the goal of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and when the time comes. Huaan will be in an extremely awkward position.
When Murong Khan heard this, he shook his head lightly, and said: "The king of the south is wrong, as far as I know, the strength of the king of the north has greatly exceeded that of the king of the south, especially Shuzhong and Guanzhong are both controlled by the king of the north, so that the king of the south faces a two-sided threat from the north and the west, and. The reason why the King of the South thinks that the King of the North may not be able to win must be due to the containment of the King of the North by my Great Yan Kingdom! If my Great Yan Kingdom is defeated by the King of the North. So as far away to the bitter cold land north of Liaodong, at that time, the king of the north will have no worries, does the king of the south feel that he can still win? Therefore, the king of the south must not watch my Great Yan Kingdom be attacked by the king of the north and withdraw from Hebei. ”
Listening to Murong Khan's words, Huan Wen fell into deep thought. He felt that there was some truth in what Murong Khan said, after all, the Daiguo in the north had already fled far away from Mobei, and if the Yan State also withdrew from Hebei, then. There is no threat behind Hua'an, so he will be in an extremely dangerous situation.
Huan Wen nodded, looked at Murong Khan, and said: "What General Murong said has some truth, but this king and the king of the north are both courtiers of the Great Jin, if the king of the north leads the troops to attack your Great Yan Kingdom, it can be regarded as recovering the lost territory of the Great Jin, can this king use this as an excuse to attack the back of the king of the north?" If this is the case, the entire Jin Dynasty and the people will not forgive this king. ”
Obviously, due to his identity and prestige, Huan Wen felt that he could not form a military alliance with the Great Yan Kingdom, otherwise, the common people of the Great Jin would not agree, and even the soldiers under his command would not agree.
Murong Khan waved his hand and said softly: "The king of the south is too worried, my Dayan has no intention of joining forces with the king of the south to attack the king of the north, and the king of the south doesn't have to worry too much." ”
Obviously, Murong Khan knew that Huan Wen and Hua'an were both courtiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was simply unrealistic and impossible for Huan Wen to send troops to attack Hua'an without any legitimate reason.
Seeing that Murong Khan had no intention of joining forces to attack Hua'an, Huan Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "In that case, how should this king cooperate with your Great Yan Kingdom to balance the Northern King?" After speaking, he looked at Murong Khan.
Murong Khan thought for a moment, and said: "The Northern King's soldiers and horses are extremely strong, and his prestige in the Great Jin Dynasty is also very high, and there are characters like Wang Meng and Xie Ai to help, it is not a good strategy to attack by force, it is better to outwit it, first weaken the prestige of the Northern King, and it is best to give him the name of a chaotic minister and thief, so that the strength of the Northern King can be weakened step by step, and then the Northern King can be eradicated." ”
"Okay, General Murong is right, if you want to weaken the Northern King, you must outwit it, and this king understands." Huan Wen nodded affirmatively.
Murong Khan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "It's good that the king of the south has figured it out, my Great Yan Kingdom is willing to cooperate with the king of the south, and use the method of outwitting to first weaken the prestige of the king of the south, let his people rebel and leave, and then gradually eradicate it, when the time comes, the king of the south will be the only loyal minister of the Great Jin, south of the Yellow River, including Guanzhong and Shuzhong, it is the world of the king of the south, and my country of Dayan is willing to rule the Yellow River with the king of the south, and the two will not invade each other from now on." ”
"General Murong is right, this king is willing to cooperate with the Great Yan Kingdom to jointly deal with the king of the north, and then use the Yellow River as the boundary, and the two will not invade each other." Huan Wen opened his mouth in agreement.
Of course, Murong Khan and Huan Wen's statement that they want to use the Yellow River as the boundary is just a verbal promise between them, at this time, the area controlled by both of them did not reach the Yellow River Valley, and the Yellow River as the boundary is indeed more in line with the reasonable requirements of both sides, but in their hearts, they did not regard the Yellow River as the boundary between each other, and once they united and destroyed Hua'an, they would not follow the Yellow River boundary.
Seeing that Huan Wen agreed to his own construction, Murong Khan looked very happy, and hugged his fists and said: "Nanwang Yingming, I believe that with the joint efforts of my Dayan and Nanwang, I will definitely be able to weaken the strength of the Northern King. ”
Obviously, after talking so much to Huan Wen in one breath, Murong Khan felt that Huan Wen should be asked to calm down and think about it, so he chose to leave.
"General Murong walks slowly, and this king won't send it." Huan Wen said politely.
"King Nan, take care, I will say goodbye." Murong Khan clasped his fists and saluted, and turned to leave Huan Wen's temporary residence.
After walking out of Huan Wen's temporary residence, Murong Khan looked extremely refreshed, this time he came to Xunyang City, in order to cooperate with Huan Wen and jointly seek Hua'an, and now, the task was completed just after meeting, how could this not make Murong Khan excited?
Unlike Murong Khan's excitement, Huan Wen fell into contemplation, although he recognized Murong Khan's analysis and thought that Hua'an was indeed a big threat to him, but it was not a wise move to cooperate with Yan Guo and jointly seek Hua'an, he still had some hesitation, after all, once the matter was not secret, let the whole world know about it, the consequences would be very strict.
In order to analyze what to do next, Huan Wen immediately gathered several henchmen under his command and prepared to discuss how to seek Hua'an.
Soon, several henchmen entered Huan Wen's temporary residence and plotted with Huan Wen in the main hall.
When Huan Wen told all of Murong Khan's henchmen about his visit, they really put forward different opinions.
Some think that this is Yan Guo's discordant plan, some think that it is Yan Guo's plan to kill people with a knife, of course, some think that Yan Guo is facing a huge crisis and is really here to secretly form an alliance, of course, no matter what kind of analysis, all subordinates think that they can secretly cooperate with Yan Guo, but they must beware of Yan Guo.
After listening to the analysis of his subordinates, Huan Wen became clearer about Murong Khan's intentions, and decided to cooperate with Yan Guo according to the analysis of his subordinates to jointly seek Hua'an.
And if you want to win Hua'an, you must find a way to weaken Hua'an's prestige, and if you can make Hua'an indulge in pleasure, it will be the best.
Thinking of Hua An's indulgence in pleasure, the corners of Huan Wen's mouth showed a smug smile.
A few days later, Murong Khan came to visit Huan Wen again and entered the main hall smoothly.
"General Murong came here today, did he come up with a plan to deal with Hua'an?" Seeing that Murong Khan came to visit again, Huan Wen asked loudly.
Murong Khan smiled and said, "King Nan has won the prize, and he did come up with a plan under him, but I don't know what the effect is, so I specially came to discuss with King Nan." ”
"Oh, what a ruse, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Huan Wen asked loudly.
Murong Khan clenched his fists and said: "King Nan, in my opinion, if you want to defeat the enemy, you must temporarily obey him, if you want the enemy to underestimate the enemy, you must make him proud and complacent, if you want the enemy to indulge in pleasure, you must satisfy all his desires, let him completely relax his vigilance, so that he can fundamentally defeat the enemy." ”
When Huan Wen heard this, he nodded again and again, and said loudly: "What General Murong said is that the plan to pride the enemy is indeed a good strategy, but the king of the north is familiar with military books, how can he not see through it. ”
Murong Khan smiled and said: "The Northern King has won many battles in his life, and not long ago he broke the soldiers and horses of my Great Yan Kingdom, and his prestige is great, the Northern King is so powerful, it is natural for someone to admire him, I believe that the Northern King will also think so, and the Southern King can rest assured." After speaking, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Huan Wen heard this, he immediately had a feeling, and nodded, and said with a straight face: "What General Murong said is very true, this king knows what to do, but the Great Yan Kingdom also has to do its part!" After speaking, he looked at Murong Khan.
Murong Khan nodded, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the King of the South, my Dayan Congress will dedicate the most valuable items in the country to the King of the North, so as to be proud of his heart and fall into his will." ”
"Okay, good, then let's get ready!" Huan Wen said with a smile.
When Murong Khan heard this, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said softly: "The king of the south will stay and retire below." After saying that, he left the main hall. (To be continued......)
