Chapter 1123 Battle of the Nemesis
Chapter 1121: Battle of the Nemesis
Since Murong Ke''s death, Fu Jian wanted to send troops to destroy the Former Yan, but he had always been afraid, and the person he was afraid of was Murong Chui, so Murong Chui came to surrender, Fu Jian was overjoyed and treated Murong Chui and his son with kindness and goodness, and even wanted to reuse Murong Chui.
Prime Minister Wang Meng believed that Murong Chui was not a person who was under others and would sooner or later become an enemy of the Former Qin Dynasty, so he advised Fu Jian to get rid of Murong Chui to eliminate future troubles.
Fu Jian is also famous for being loyal and naturally would not agree, and this is one of the few disputes between Fu Jian and Wang Meng.
In this way, the Murong Chui family needs to face the embarrassing situation of being killed or not being killed, living a life that seems rich but is actually a living under someone else’s roof.
In terms of governing the country, Wang Meng is the talent of Wang Zuo. In terms of scheming and tricks, he is really cruel.
After repeated advice, Wang Meng knew that it was hard to tell Fu Jian to kill Murong Chui. He was also arrogant. If you don’t kill Murong Chui, I will create an opportunity to let you kill.
So Wang Meng made a famous golden sword plan to force Murong Chui and his son to rebel, hoping to get rid of Murong Chui.
The golden sword plan was completed, Murong Chui''s son Murong Ling was deceived back to Yan, and after the news came back, Murong Chui was shocked to death.
When the real person was at home, he was in trouble and fell from the sky. Murong Chui didn''t even dare to defend himself and fled in a hurry. He was caught by pursuers in Lantian and taken back to Chang''an.
What Wang Meng did not expect was that Fu Jian not only did not kill Murong Chui, but instead comforted him and treated Murong Chui as before.
In the end, Jin Daoji only killed Murong Chui''s eldest son Murong Ling, and the hatred between Murong Chui and Wang Meng was formed.
Murong Chui passed by five years in the Former Qin Dynasty, watching the enemy, the Former Qin Dynasty conquered the city and became increasingly powerful, and his descendants even had to charge for the Former Qin Dynasty and shed blood and sweat.
Even though Murong Chui had not thought about restoring the country at this time, his ambition to restore the country might have been deeply rooted in his heart. Until Murong Chui''s greatest threat, Wang Meng died, Murong Chui''s opportunity finally came.
The Former Qin unified the north, Fu Jian insisted on his own way and launched the Battle of Feishui. However, the defeat of Feishui caused great losses to the Former Qin''s strength. Murong Chui took the opportunity to return to his hometown and summoned the former subordinates of the Former Yan to raise an army, and decided to still call the country "Yan", which is known in history as Later Yan.
From the establishment of the Later Yan Dynasty to the death of Murong Chui, in just 12 years, Murong Chui led his troops to fight eastward and westward, and advanced southward to northward, once again building a vast territory for the Murong clan. Until his death, 71-year-old Murong Chui was still leading troops to fight.
Murong Chui has lost at the tactical level, but at the strategic level, he has never lost like Murong Ke, so it is not an exaggeration to call Murong Chui the "God of War", and his biggest enemy is Wang Meng.
Wang Meng''s golden sword scheme was meticulous and his plan was not poisonous, but he did not achieve the purpose of using the plan and killed Murong Chui. To a certain extent, this plan failed, but did it actually fail?
Jin Daojian failed to kill Murong Chui, but indirectly killed Murong Ling. After Murong Ling died, Murong Chui''s legitimate son was only Murong Bao.
Among Murong Chui''s nephews, there are many people with outstanding abilities, but this live-in prince is the most mediocre and incompetent, but he inherited Murong Chui''s position, which eventually led to the collapse of the Later Yan foundation and was destroyed again.
Therefore, in a certain sense, Wang Meng killed Murong Ling, which indirectly cut off the national destiny of Later Yan, which directly caused the destruction of Later Yan.
If Murong Ke''s old enemy is Ran Min, then Murong Chui''s old enemy must be Wang Meng. Now that the two meet again in another time and space, they will definitely determine a life and death.

"Father, the Jin army has already come east. I didn''t expect that we just took a flick and actually led the Jin army over."
After listening to Murong Lin''s report, there was no surprise in Murong Chui''s eyes and said lightly: "Jinyang is hundreds of miles east, which is where Qin Wen is, so even if Yang Ye knew that our army was cheating, he had to come."
When Murong Lin heard this, he said, "Father, the chief general of the Jin army has also been replaced. The leader of the army is not Yang Ye."
"What?" Murong Chui widened his eyes and said in a slight shock: "Yang Ye actually stayed by himself, but handed over the main army to others? Who is this person? How could Yang Ye be so fond of him?"
"This man, Wang Meng, was just a civil servant before. Although he was a little famous, this time it seemed to be his first time leading the army, so there is no need to worry about it."
After hearing this name, Murong Chui''s pupils shrank slightly and couldn''t help but mutter to himself: "Wang Meng, it''s him."
Murong Lin showed excitement and smiled, "Father, Yang Ye actually used a scholar as a general. It seems that we will win this battle."
"What do you know? This Wang Meng is not an ordinary person. Even if he is leading the army for the first time, he must not be careless at all."
"Um?"
Murong Lin noticed something was wrong and quickly asked and answered: "Father, is there anything special about this scholar?"
"This Wang Meng is Qin Hao''s military advisor. He is the biggest contributor in the Battle of Yanmen Pass."
A trace of memories flashed in Murong Chu''s eyes, and then he slowly said: "For the first time Wang Meng made a plan for Qin Hao, he burned Yanmen Pass with one blow, set up an ambush Donglongkou, and killed Yufuluo Shanyu. The two strategies killed a total of more than 100,000 elite troops of the Huns."
“Hiss…”
Murong Lin couldn''t help but take a breath, and then asked quickly: "Father, since this Wang Meng is so powerful, why is his fame not very famous?"
"That''s because after His Majesty became emperor, he tampered with some of the facts of the defeat of the Huns. In addition, Wang Meng also took the initiative to sacrifice his contributions to fulfill Qin Hao''s reputation of winning every battle.
Because of merit, but not greedy for me, and willing to fulfill my lord and sacrifice myself. I have to say that Wang Meng is really a model of a good minister. ”
At this point, Murong Chuan''s eyes were full of fear and said in a deep voice: "Although Wang Meng is leading the army for the first time, he has extremely rich experience in joining the army. In addition, he is full of wisdom, so he is definitely a ten times more difficult opponent than Yang Ye."
"Father, then next, we..."
Before Murong Lin finished speaking, Murong Chui said decisively: "Suspend the marching and don''t confront the Jin army head-on. Let''s first test Wang Meng''s depth, and then decide whether to fight decisively or tangled."
"No."
—————
Here on the Jin army.
"Report to the Deputy General Wang, the Yuan and Mongolian army suspended the marching speed, and their intentions were unknown."
After hearing this news, Wang Meng immediately slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Murong Ke does not dare to fight with our army. It can be seen that his purpose of leading the army eastward is just to lead the main force of our army away. The real goal is Zhenbei Pass. There is no mistake in our army''s strategic arrangement..."
