Bian Fanzhi was slightly startled: "Liu Jingxuan? How can he be our helper? He is Liu Yu's best friend, even stronger than the relationship between Liu Yi and He Wuji. Now that Liu Yu has become successful, he will definitely come over How can someone who defected to Liu Yu help us?"
Huan Xuan also said: "Yes, Liu Jingxuan and Liu Yu are so good at wearing a pair of trousers. This matter is known to the whole world. Besides, they went to Nanyan to be protected, thanks to Liu Yu's good wife Murong Lan, Yuan Ming , are you thinking a little better?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Liu Jingxuan fled to Nanyan. It is true that Murong Lan contributed a lot. There should be Liu Yu's arrangements behind this. He could have predicted Liu Laozhi's outcome when he quit the army. , so they left a way out, but this does not mean that Liu Jingxuan will be grateful and willing to serve Murong Beide."
Huan Xuan's heart moved and he said anxiously: "Go on."
Tao Yuanming said sternly: "Liu Jingxuan is the greatest tiger general in the world. There are only a few people who can rival him on the battlefield. Such a tiger general is wanted by any ambitious monarch. Just like your majesty, for the love of talent, , you are more tolerant of people like Hu Fan who have contradicted you in public. And you can ignore old grudges against Liu Yu. Although Murong Beide does not have His Majesty's mind, Nan Yan is at a time of life and death, and there is a strong enemy in the north. The Wei State was at a time when it was time to hire people. Liu Jingxuan came to vote. Of course he was overjoyed and would keep him regardless of whether Murong Lan was there or not. But Murong Lan just wanted to simply protect the lives of Liu Jingxuan and others, but Murong Beide wanted to Take him as your general and truly serve Nan Yan.”
Bian Fanzhi said thoughtfully: "Indeed, this is the truth. Liu Jingxuan is a Han general, and he will inevitably be at odds with many Xianbei generals in Southern Yan. During the Northern Expedition, Liu Laozhi died with General Murong Chui, a Yan general. There are countless men under his father and son. Liu Jingxuan probably also has deep hatred for many generals of Nanyan. Murong Beide can tolerate him, but others may not be able to tolerate him, especially when he comes to surrender in trouble, but he is promoted to a higher rank without making any merit. , as a result, there will be more people who want their lives."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yes, I have been operating this matter. Your Majesty regards Liu Jingxuan as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. To get rid of him, the best knife is Murong Beide. He himself definitely wanted to keep Liu Jingxuan at the beginning, but other The Xianbei general, on the one hand, has a grudge against Liu Jingxuan, and on the other hand, he is afraid that he will seize his position, so he wants to get rid of him quickly. I only need to put in a little more effort, for example, like last time I sent a dead soldier to assassinate him in the name of Sun Wuzhong. Liu Jingxuan, this simple-minded and reckless man, will definitely think that Murong Beide will not tolerate him, so instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to strike first and take the initiative to rebel."
Huan Xuan opened his eyes wide: "Is this okay?"
Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed coldly: "Murong Beide established himself as emperor and did not accept the old master Murong Bao. There are many people in Nanyan who want to replace him. In the past two years, there have been many rebellions and rebellions, and there were even palace coups Something happened that almost killed Murong Beide. He was old and childless. Many people were eyeing the throne behind him. The only one who could be trusted was Murong Lan. But this time Liu Yu raised an army, Murong Lan would not sit back and watch. She was not in Nanyan Kingdom a while ago, so she must have gone to help Liu Yu."
Huan Xuan said in surprise: "Is there still such a thing? But why doesn't anyone come to report it?"
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "I think Murong Lan went to protect Liu Yu and other family members of the rebel leader, and was not on the battlefield. Moreover, a princess from an enemy country in Xianbei came to participate in their uprising in Beifu. I'm afraid it would It's heartbreaking, but it is certain that Murong Lan will not be in Nanyan, and I took advantage of this opportunity to instigate several palace guards in Nanyan to rebel and assassinate Murong Beide who was bedridden. It was a pity that the success fell short. The servant carried Murong Beide on his back and jumped over the wall to escape, but he was not killed, otherwise, Nan Yan would have been in chaos at this time."
Bian Fanzhi sighed: "It's a pity that Liu Yu and his gang of Jingba rebelled. Otherwise, the chaos in Southern Yan would have happened, and they would have been able to lead the Northern Expedition, and it wouldn't have happened today."
Huan Xuan said bitterly: "Well, now it is a blessing in disguise. Yuan Ming, Nan Yan has not been in chaos. Do you mean that while Murong Lan is away, Liu Jingxuan will rebel again? He doesn't have an army in his hands, so he will start an uprising at this time. , aren’t you looking for death?”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Last time, those Xianbei palace guards failed in their rebellion. Murong Lan and Liu Xi were the first to come to rescue them. Although Liu Xi was a guest general, he had hundreds of men who fought with his brother Liu Gui. Most of his old troops were veterans of the Beifu Army. They performed outstandingly on the night of countering the rebellion. Murong Beide promoted him to the position of Prime Minister of Jinan and was responsible for the defense of Guanggu Outer City. The guard of the palace city was handed over to Murong Lan. Now Without Murong Lan, Liu Xi has taken control of Guanggu City. If Liu Jingxuan intends to rebel, then as long as he persuades Liu Xi, he will most likely kill Murong Beide and seize power!"
Bian Fanzhi frowned and shook his head: "It's impossible. Liu Xi is already old. He took his family with him when he fled last time. It shows that he no longer has any ambition for fame. Even if Liu Jingxuan intends to rebel, he will not Will participate.”
Tao Yuanming laughed: "If he doesn't participate, then Liu Jingxuan will definitely leak out and either be killed or flee. Moreover, Murong Beide will hate Murong Lan who recommended them to defect. Once their brother and sister are separated, then Nan Yan and Liu Yu's fake The political power was in turmoil. Murong Beide did not dare to provoke the Northern Wei Dynasty to the north at the moment, but taking advantage of the civil war in the south, it was very possible to raise troops south to seize the Jianghuai land. If a powerful Hu enemy appeared out of thin air in the north , then can Liu Yu still be able to deal with us?"
Huan Xuan clapped his hands suddenly: "Gao, Yuan Ming, your plan of two tigers fighting each other is really brilliant. But, how can you have men who can make trouble in Nanyan?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Because your majesty's ambition is to make the world clear and the whole world to be unified, as a minister, you must share your majesty's worries. You must plant spies in the neighboring enemy countries to stir up civil strife and create a situation that is beneficial to Chu. A while ago When Wei Chen is idle, he is planning this matter."
Huan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "I really didn't make good use of you. It was a big mistake in the past. If I had used you to monitor Liu Yu earlier, we would not be in today's situation. Yuan Ming, now I have a very important task to do." Leave it to you. You go to Jiangling with brothers Wang Shenai and Sima Dezong, and keep an eye on them. Remember, don’t let them have any contact with Huan Zhen and Lu Zongzhi. After you go, let Huan Zhen and Lu Zongzhi Quickly gather troops and horses in Jiangling and come to Xiakou to meet me. And you, stay with Wang Shen'ai, keep an eye on this woman, and don't let her cause any trouble in Jiangling."
