Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1377
Although he has a lot of disdain for Shen Weizhou of the Southern Kingdom, Murong Hao has to admit that this Southern Raccoon is treacherous and cunning, and he never follows a set path in doing things. If he is an enemy, it is impossible to guess when his sword will reach his armpit Down, it's hard to guard against.

In comparison, Murong Hao is more willing to fight against someone like Jiezhu Shihu.Shi Hu looks cruel and tyrannical, but his methods are lacking, nothing more than intimidation with strong troops.

In battles on the battlefield, those who are brave and skillful will win. Although the strength of the Murong tribe is far inferior to that of the Jie country, it has the right time and place to depend on. Although retreating steadily, but in fact did not touch the root.

However, Shen Weizhou of the Southern Raccoon was different. Up to now, the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom had not directly descended on the Liao land.However, as the current leader of the Murong tribe, Murong Hao knew that Shen Weizhou's various methods against them in Liaodong were the root of the real harm to the tribe.

Putting aside everything else, if it wasn't for the help of Nanguo Yin, the family thief Murong Ren would never have been able to maintain the rebellion for such a long time.One can imagine how much damage a tribe has been caused by being divided for ten years!

Nanraccoon's methods didn't stop there. For example, Murong Hao realized for the first time that the situation in Liaodong was out of control, and even his authority was in danger, which was the downfall of the Bohai Feng family.

The Bohai Feng Clan is a very important vassal sect in Liaodong, and it was also one of the greatest achievements of the Murong Department in attracting Chinese scholars during the Sino-Jin turmoil in the past.The members of the Feng family not only made great contributions to the establishment and management of Liaodong, but their existence itself was one of the important means used by the Murong Ministry to attract and restrain the Liao border exiles.

But such a portal of great significance to Liaodong was besieged and killed outside Murong Hao's base camp, Dathorn City, without Murong Hao's knowledge!

Although it was those incompetent guys from their Murong Department who directly acted at that time, and the Feng family was so arrogant that they wanted to use their own strength to control the business relationship with the southern country, even Murong Hao was very unhappy in his heart, and he wanted to kill himself road.But at that time, such a result made Murong Hao feel afraid every time he thought about it, and he was also full of precautions against the Southern Kingdom.

The extermination of the Feng family directly brought about two bad consequences.

The first is that those Jin people who were originally attached to their Murong tribe lost their households, and everyone began to feel insecure, and they became suspicious and defensive towards Murong tribe.

The second is that while Murong Ren's rebellion has not been resolved, the Murong Department itself has cracks again.For example, Murong Yun, Murong Ping and other clansmen were greedy for the profits of business with the Southern Kingdom, and thus became eccentric towards him.

And what did the Southerners pay when they caused such great harm to Murongbu?It was nothing more than fanning the flames with a little bit of tongue-in-cheek, and there were more than a dozen ships of goods coming and going, and these goods were not gifts, but were traded at a high price by the Murong Department.

The price paid back and forth was not even as large as the consumption of resources and food for a small-scale border disturbance in the Jie country, but the results achieved and the harm brought to the Murong Ministry were that the tens of thousands of troops of the Jie country could not do it for more than a year. Arrived!

Although Murong Hao acted decisively afterwards, he expelled Murong Yun, the leader of the rebels, from the country and sent him to the south as a hostage, which eased the internal conflicts to a certain extent.But the rift was born, and it may continue to erupt at any time.

For example, this time Murong Hao decided to take refuge in the Jie Kingdom to obtain the conferment, because Wen Fangzhi, the envoy of the Southern Kingdom, and others were suddenly detained. Murong Yun's sons, like Murong Jiang, not only did not keep pace with him, but directly dispatched The followers protected Wen Fang and his party, still showing their respect to Nan Guo.

These idiots can only see the meager ability to do business with the southerners in their eyes, and they don't have the slightest thought about the future of the tribe's great cause in their hearts.They also didn't think about it, once the Murong Department is successful, the benefits they can share will be comparable to some southern goods!

What's more, Shen Weizhou has always been hypocritical and has no profit. Once Murong's tribe becomes the dominant force in Liao and he doesn't have enough strength to attack in a short period of time, he will only export more goods to hope It has a more profound impact on the situation in Liao, and their Murong Department can gain more initiative in business!
Even regardless of the internal disputes within the tribe, the exiles from the Liao border brought great pressure to Murong Hao.

It is true that before this, these exiles from the Liao border were the main targets of the Murong Department, and his father, Murong Xin, had been doing this for the rest of his life.And the joining of these Liao border exiles has indeed become an opportunity for the Murong Ministry to grow stronger.

Before his death, Murong Xin told Murong Hao that the remote and bitter cold of the Liao border is by no means a place where he can support scholars for a long time.Those exiles are forced to live temporarily due to the general situation, but after a long time, they will definitely want to return.The Murong Department only needs to unite and win over these exiles, relying on the illness of these exiles, taking advantage of the opportunity to break through the barriers and rush out of the Liao border, until they rule the roost in China!
Regarding this point, Murong Hao also took it very seriously, because after he won the throne, he treated all families of Jin people such as the Yang family in Beiping and the Feng family in Bohai with extra courtesy.However, the harmony between the two parties has gradually changed with the rise of the Southern Kingdom. In particular, the collapse of the Bohai Feng Clan has left deep and irreparable scars on the relationship between the two parties.

What makes Murong Hao even more palpitating is the breaking of the deadlock in the Liao border.Although Murong's department benefited the most from this accident, this method is unacceptable to Murong Hao.

At that time, Ma Shijin's Wen Fangzhi went north to Dathorn City and proposed conditions to Murong Hao, which could help him break the current situation in Liao and completely reverse the current disadvantage of Murong's tribe.In exchange, Murong Hao will be more active in restraining Jie State's troops in Youzhou, and must not hinder Wen Fangzhi's recruitment of exiles from the Liao border.

Murong Hao, as a big man in the Liao border, had no shortage of ridicule for Wen Fangzhi's arrogance and lack of progress. If the situation in the Liao region could be broken so easily, why would he have been in trouble for so many years.He agreed to Wen Fangzhi with the idea of ​​watching the fun, but what happened afterwards surprised Murong Hao!
He never dreamed that it would be Liu Qun, the son of the dead ghost Liu Kun who had been silent for a long time and lived under the fence!
Although the Murong Department took advantage of this accident to reap a lot of benefits, every time he thought of the huge role Liu Qun and others played in it, he felt restless, and his heart was full of unwillingness and anger.As a powerful Hu chieftain in Liao for a long time, the role he played at the critical moment, the influence and promotion of the situation in Liao, is even worse than that of a homeless dog like Liu Qun!
After that, Wen Fangzhi brought up the old matter again, hoping that Murong Hao could abide by the agreement, allow him to walk in the Liao border, and recruit the deceased Jin people scattered in various places in the Liao border.

At that time, Murong Hao hadn't made up his mind whether to betray Xingtai and join the Jie Kingdom, so he agreed to Wen Fangzhi's request.

So next, as soon as the edict was released, many Jin people responded, even those who had been attached to their Murong tribe for decades, even though they were gray-haired and old, He also abandoned the family business he had bought in the Liao border in the past few years, and responded to Wen Fangzhi's call with his family.

Seeing this scene, Murong Hao couldn't help being frightened and angry, he finally realized deeply what it means to be a non-me race, and his heart must be different!
Over the years, their Murong Department has worked hard, benevolent, righteous and ethical to create a world for these extinct Jin people to avoid collapse and recuperate. Murong Hao often uses this to beautify himself. It is quite popular.

However, the reality gave him a heavy slap in the face. Those Jin people, Yan Han, explained to him with practical actions that the Murong Ministry in Liaodong was just a helpless choice when they had no choice. I will abandon it without hesitation, and I am unwilling to give it even the slightest nostalgia!

"The Liao border is definitely not a place to raise scholars for a long time. Only entering China is the future!"

The late father's last words rang in his ears again, and this time Murong Hao realized how far-sighted his father was, and also realized that if he continued to maintain this kind of ambiguous relationship with Nan Guo, he would only be killed by Shen Weizhou, that Nan Raccoon. Swallow it without using a knife, even the flesh and bones!
So he decisively detained Wen Fangzhi, Liu Qun and others, and at the same time strictly ordered the people under his rule not to leave the place of residence without authorization, and those who violated the order would be killed without mercy!

Even though the situation was under control, Murong Hao still dared not relax.Now the southern country has penetrated deeply into the Liao border, and it cannot be wiped out in a short period of time.

Especially with the development of business and trade between the two sides in the past few years, more artifacts from the southern country have entered the homes of the common people in the Liao border. To return to the country!If they suddenly learned that Liaodong and the Southern Kingdom were completely broken, and their way back home was cut off, God knows how much turmoil it would cause!

When he was discussing the situation with his son before, he laughed at Shen Weizhou for undertaking the Northern Expedition on his shoulders of the righteousness of the Jin Dynasty, and he would be bound by it, but in fact he was not like this.These Jin people's lost households used to be an opportunity for Murong's department to grow stronger in the past, but now it has become a hidden danger that will bite him back.

So even though he has apparently accepted the conferment of Jie State, and it seems that he is about to break with Jin State, but this knife must not be cut off.Otherwise, it won't be Nanguo who has not yet formally ruled the Liao land, and it will only be him who is really bleeding.This is the price of being weaker than others and having to depend on others.

As for how to repair the relationship with the Jin State, or at least come up with an argument to appease the exiled people in Liao, after a few days of weighing, Murong Hao gradually came up with some ideas.

Born in troubled times, no matter whether it is good or evil, it should not be too pure.Pure goodness and pure evil are often difficult to end well.

For example, Shi Hu, the lord of Jie, in fact, in Murong Hao's view, the only thing to fear about Shi Hu is that Shi Le, the former lord of Jie, built a large enough family business, which was originally enough to pass on to future generations, but was squandered by Shi Hu's generation And empty.Besides, in terms of talent alone, Shi Hu really has nothing to boast about.

Shen Weizhou of the Southern Kingdom is treacherous and vicious, smiling on the surface, poking a knife behind his back, although in terms of talent, he is far better than Shihu, but he is not as grand as the founder.Because although Murong Hao suffered a lot from it, he looked down on him and regarded his opponent as a plaything. He seldom had grandiose decisive victories. He was not a real hero, so naturally he would not win the sincere admiration of his opponent.

But having said that, if there is a chance to kill the opponent, Murong Hao will naturally do everything possible to do it.I own the great power, and I enjoy the position of honor. What does it matter to me whether I admire or not?
