In front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, on the jade steps, a look of surprise flashed across Sima Yao's dark face. Almost the entire Jiankang City echoed a voice: "Liu Yi killed Fu Rong with one arrow, and the Qin army was defeated by hundreds of people." It’s like a landslide!”
Sima Yao turned to look at Xie An beside him, and asked curiously: "Then the Qin army's commander-in-chief, Fu Rong, was this Liu Yi killed? Where is this person now? But was he the warrior who was holding the big flag at the head?"
Xie An shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Fu Rong was indeed shot to death by an arrow on the battlefield by a building owner named Liu Yi, but he was not the person walking in front. This person was named Liu Yu. He was the commander of the Second Army of the Tiger Force of the Beifu Army, and Liu Yi, as the leader of the building, was under his command at that time."
Sima Yao murmured: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu? This name sounds so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."
Sima Daozi coughed twice: "Brother, as I mentioned to you last time, Mr. Xie's granddaughter, the daughter of Wang Ningzhi, the prefect of Kuaiji, was betrothed to Liu Yu by Mr. Xie, and he was already engaged. This matter was at that time It also caused quite a stir among the aristocratic families in Jiankang City!"
Sima Yao opened his eyes wide and nodded: "Oh, I remembered that this happened. Oh, I also sighed at that time, saying that Shizhong Xie was so broad-minded that he was willing to marry his granddaughter to an ordinary boy from a poor family. It’s not what ordinary people do.”
Xie An said calmly: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu and Liu Yi are not ordinary Han people. They are the sons of scholars. They were officials in the prefectures and counties, working for the imperial court. There is no certainty in the affairs of the world. If a high-ranking family is Disrespectful children will also fall into decline. Low-level scholars, even children from poor families, as long as they are willing to work hard and make progress, they can still stand out. In my humble opinion, real heroes cannot be buried due to their status being inferior for a while. If these people are not Being used by the imperial court has endless hidden dangers. There is Han Gao in the distance and Ni Jie Shi Le in the distance. Didn’t they all start out in the grass like this?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Sima Yao's face, but it disappeared and he laughed: "What Shizhong Xie said is true. Thank you very much for finding such a hero for me. But, having said that, that Miss Wang is actually The daughter of Wang Ningzhi, the prefect of Kuaiji, why do you have to decide on her marriage?"
Xie An smiled slightly: "Prefect Wang is busy with government affairs and religious affairs and doesn't care much about family affairs. Therefore, the niece is in charge of the affairs of the Wang family. As for the marriage of this child, thanks to the trust of the Wang family, it is also entrusted to Wei. I am looking for a good husband on my behalf. Originally, Liu Yu's identity was far different from that of Miss Wang, and Wei Chen did not have this idea at first. However, Miaoyin once disguised herself as a man and went to the north to perform a mission, and that Liu Yu was traveling as a bodyguard, and the two of them saw each other on the road and developed a secret love for each other. The minister was just going along with the current."
Sima Yao was slightly startled: "Miaoyin? Is it Miss Wang's maiden name? It's such a nice name. I heard that she is a noble girl from a noble family, a talented and beautiful lady from a famous family. I have heard her name for a long time. Hey, But how could such a beautiful woman go to the north?"
Sima Daozi sneered and said: "Brother, you may not know something. Xie Xianggong has been secretly in contact with the Murong family and other forces in the north for the sake of the country. This Feishui war also depends on his contribution."
Sima Yao opened his mouth and wondered: "Is this happening? How come I don't know about it at all?"
Xie An calmly saluted: "Your Majesty, I am preparing to report this to you. The Qin captives in the north are powerful, and Fu Jian wants to invade our country and unify the Jin Dynasty. In this case, the enemy Our enemies are our friends. We use the foreign barbarians conquered by Qin to cause trouble in the rear and disrupt the Qin world, so that we can reduce the pressure on our side. Murong Chui was a general of the Qin State, and his homeland was conquered by the Qin State. The Murong clan was destroyed, and the children of the Murong clan were raped and humiliated by Fu Jian. It can be said that they have sworn hatred. For many years, Murong Chui has been secretly contacting us, informing us of the enemy's situation, and also sowing discord within the Qin State. From the Battle of Junchuan to this When we return to Feishui for a great victory, our army can win, and this man has contributed a lot."
Sima Yao nodded, but his expression remained serious: "It's just such a big matter, why doesn't Shizhong Xie report it to me?"
Xie An smiled slightly: "There is a saying in the art of war. Those who use it must prevent the news from leaking. People talk a lot. If the news leaks out, Murong Chui will not be able to protect himself from telling the news. Our army will also cut off Qin's internal support. Therefore, before the war, The ministers kept a tight seal on the news, and the King of Kuaiji only found out about it after he arrived in the army."
Sima Yao looked at Sima Daozi: "Is that so?"
Sima Daozi looked at Xie An and curled up his lips: "Xie Xianggong is right. We also arrived in the army and heard about what happened after Zhu Xu came to the camp. Xie Zhenjun revealed his relationship with the Murong family to us. At first glance, we heard that At that time, we were also shocked and wanted to report it to the emperor's brother, but Xie Zhenjun thought that the military situation was urgent at that time and needed to block all information about the personnel, so he withheld it. Like Zhu Xu and others, they were in charge of internal affairs in the Qin army. , the news was also blocked at that time.”
Sima Yao nodded thoughtfully and looked at Zhu Xu, who was standing with Zhang Tianxi in court uniform and chatting and laughing with other officials around him. Therefore, Xie Xianggong should have blocked the news for safety reasons. However, Zhu Xu and others defected before the battle and came to surrender. Since Murong Chui was secretly communicating with us, why didn't they come to surrender at this time? Oh, by the way, Fu Jian After the defeat, didn't he go and join Murong Chui? Why didn't he capture Fu Jian and surrender to our Jin Dynasty?"
Xie An smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Murong Chui is not Zhu Xu. He also has the ambition to revive the puppet Yan. He and Fu Jian are just dogs biting dogs. Cooperating with us is also to get what we need. Once the Qin State is in chaos, he will definitely He will take the opportunity to stand on his own feet and restore his country, and will never surrender to our country. It can be said that our cooperation is on the verge of being terminated now. He has not killed Fu Jian, but he has other plans."
Sima Yaoqi asked: "What else can he do if he doesn't kill Fu Jian? Why doesn't he have any troops now?"
Xie An said seriously: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, in troubled times, those who take the lead in raising troops can often only serve as a stepping stone for the king to ascend to the throne. This is true for Chen Sheng Wu Guang in the late Qin Dynasty, and Green Forest Red Eyebrow during the Han Dynasty. Murong Chui's castle is very deep. If he takes advantage of the chaos to harm Fu Jian at this time, he will become a public enemy and be attacked by a group of people. If Fu Jian is released, he will not only gain a reputation of loyalty, but also gain Fu Jian's trust, which is likely to make him an enemy. He led the troops to put down the rebellion. Once he had troops, he could separate his own country in the name of Qin, just like when the Murong family was in Liaodong, they honored me as the Jin Dynasty, but actually separated their own country and established themselves, and Ran Min usurped the title of Zhao. After the emperor, they entered the Central Plains in the name of revolting for the country, and then established a country on their own. Murong Chui was just doing what his father and brother had done in the past."
Sima Yao punched his palm with hatred: "Hateful! Thank you, Shizhong, I order you to make the affair between Murong Chui and us known to the world immediately, and let Fu Jian kill him first. I want to see what else he can do." Old stories about father and brother!”
