Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 210 Fu Jian’s worries

Fu Jian returned to Jinyang and received congratulations from hundreds of officials.

But there was always one thing in his mind, which was the whereabouts of Murong Ying, Tuoba Shi, Tuoba Han's mother and son.

Once Murong Ying is allowed to escape back to Yan State and borrow troops from his brother Murong Jun, I am afraid that the ownership of Dai State will be in trouble again.

Fu Jian, the king of the East China Sea, knew his uncle's concerns. During a solo duet, he comforted him and said:

"Your Majesty should not worry about the Yan State. Don't you hear that the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman will benefit.

"Once the Yan State and Dayu go to war, both sides will suffer losses, and only the Huan family will gain.

"The Yan people did not hesitate to go on an expedition in order to rescue Luoyang. This is enough to prove that Murong Jun is not a short-sighted person. How could he become an enemy of His Majesty because of his brother-sister relationship with Murong Ying."

Hearing this, Fu Jian couldn't help but nodded:

"Jian Tou is able to have such insight at such a young age. He is truly the thousand-mile horse of our Fu family."

Among the many nephews, Fu Jian's favorite was Fu Jian.

This is not entirely due to Fu Xiong, but because there are very few people in the clan who are as resourceful and far-sighted as Fu Jian.

In Fu Jian's view, Fu Jian is someone who can assist Fu Sheng in governing the country a hundred years from now, just like Fu Jian's father Fu Xiong assisted him.

Fu Jian did not beam with joy because of Fu Jian's praise. He reminded:

"Now that the country of Dai has surrendered to Your Majesty, Huan Xi has also taken control of Xianbei in Hexi, and his strength has increased greatly.

"I believe that there will be a battle between Yu and Liang sooner or later, so please make preparations in advance."

Upon hearing Huan Xi's name, Fu Jian's face darkened. He could never forget that unforgettable hatred.

"I will take the head of Thief Huan to comfort Chang'er's spirit in heaven!"

Fu Jian gritted his teeth and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch came to report the matter. The right servant of Shangshu, King She, fell down outside the palace and asked to see him.

Wang Duo came from the Wang family in Jingzhao. During the Gaoli Rebellion, Wang Duo fled Guanzhong and went to Fu Hong's command. He was appointed Sima. After Fu Jian became emperor, he was also appointed Shangshu Youpu She. He was deeply respected by Fu Hong. The trust of two generations, Hong and Fu Jian, father and son.

Precisely because Wang Zuo had extensive connections in Guanzhong, Fu Jian entrusted him with the management of the intelligence network in Guanzhong.

Wang Dui was also the uncle of Du Yu, the general at Tongguan, and Du Zhou, the prefect of Dunhuang.

Of course, brothers Du Yu and Du Zhou had already lost contact with their uncle.

When he learned that Wang Zuo asked for an audience, Fu Jian knew that it must be information sent from Guanzhong, so he hurriedly asked people to bring Wang Zuo in. Upon seeing this, Fu Jian resigned in due course, and Fu Jian did not force him to stay.

When he walked out of the palace gate, Fu Jian and Wang Zuo met face to face. Fu Jian saluted Wang Zuo first, which made Wang Zuo flattered. He quickly returned the salute and said to himself:

'I have long heard that this King of the East China Sea admires Confucianism and respects virtuous people. When I saw him today, his behavior was indeed not like that of an ordinary barbarian. '

Fu Jian rarely appeared in the court before. It was after the death of his father Fu Xiong that he was awarded the post of General Long Xiang and entered his official career. After Fu Xiong was buried, Fu Jian secretly took him to Yanmen Pass. Wang Zuo and others Naturally, courtiers rarely interacted with him.

Putting aside his curiosity, Wang Tui walked into the main hall and saluted Fu Jian.

"No courtesy, stay on your own."

Fu Jian said and asked eagerly:

"Wang Qing came in a hurry, but there is news from Guanzhong?"

Wang Tui stood up and replied:

"Reporting to your majesty, I do have something important to report. According to the spy report, after Murong Ying, Tuoba Shi, mother and son escaped from Shengle, they did not go to the Yan Kingdom, but were captured by the Xiongnu Youxian King Liu Kutou in Hetao. Huo, now in Chang'an."

Fu Jian was stunned and said in disbelief:

"Could it be fake news?"

The Yan Kingdom was clearly in the east, so why did Murong Ying and her son flee to the west? "This is absolutely true. I thought that maybe Murong Ying wanted to escape from the pursuing troops, so she didn't dare to go straight east."

Fu Jian heard this and said angrily:

"You are so smart! Foolish woman! Why didn't you die on the way and fell into the hands of the Huan thief!"

The more Fu Jian thought about it, the angrier he became. Although he never told anyone explicitly, he had the idea in his heart of taking Murong Yan as his concubine after capturing her.

This is not just because Murong Ying is the sister of Emperor Murong Jun of the Yan Kingdom, but also because of her beauty and intelligence.

Fu Jian scolded Murong Ying as a foolish woman at this time, but he had to admit that if Fu Jian hadn't secretly mobilized troops, causing Liu Yan to have trouble sleeping and eating, so he went east to monitor the movements of Yu State, maybe Murong would have been killed Ying fled to the state of Yu.

Murong Ying was of the female generation, but she was smart and knowledgeable. When Tuoba Shiyiqian was alive, Murongying always made suggestions on important matters, and they were always adopted by Tuoba Shiyiqian.

Of course Fu Jian hopes to get this female think tank of Dai Kingdom.

Of course, he and Huan Xi also have the same preferences, otherwise, the original time and space would not have accepted Han Yan as a side wife and regarded herself as Zhang Yu's father.

Needless to say, Fu Jian was angry. Murong Ying was sent to Chang'an, which was undoubtedly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Fu Jian knew very well about people like Huan Zei, so how could he let Murong Ying go.

The brothers Tuoba Shi and Tuoba Han were controlled by Huan Xi, which was also a hidden danger for Fu Jian to control the Dai Kingdom.

He looked at Wang Zuo and asked:

"Can Wang Qing find a way to get rid of the three of them, mother and son?"

Wang Zuo shook his head helplessly and said:

"After Murong Ying and others arrived in Chang'an, Liang Guozhongshu ordered Quan Yi to send people to protect them, making it difficult for others to approach."

Fu Jian was greatly disappointed, but he also knew that such a request was too difficult, so he did not blame Wang Dui.

After Wang Zuo resigned, Fu Jian was unhappy. He knew that Huan Xi would not sit back and watch him take control of the country. After all, their geographical location meant that the conflict between them could not be eased.

Although Guanzhong is dangerous, Hedong is equally easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Perhaps, the decisive battle between Yu State and Liang State will not be in Guanzhong, nor in Hedong, but in Hetao, in Dai State.

Fu Jian is still unable to estimate the impact of Murong Ying's mother and son falling into Huan Xi's hands. It's no wonder that he was so angry that he cursed Murong Ying for being smart and couldn't escape anywhere, so he fled to the Hetao area and gave Huan Xi a door.

At the same time, Wang Meng had led his troops into Tongguan and was on his way to Chang'an.

In this Eastern Expedition, the casualties were actually negligible, and of course, the seizures were almost non-existent.

After all, Yao Xiang, Zhang Yu, Fu Jian, Zhou Cheng and others successively occupied Luoyang and emptied the treasury long ago.

However, the soldiers' work was not in vain.

When Huan Wen was preparing for the Northern Expedition, he hoarded a large amount of money and cloth in Nanyang County.

At this time, he had already allocated money and cloth from Nanyang County and was transporting it to Guanzhong via the ancient Shangyu Road.

Those who reward and punish are the sharp weapons of the country and the handle to control people.

If it were not Huan Wen but someone else, even if he wanted to reward Liang Jun's soldiers, Wang Meng would not dare to agree to the matter. He must first ask Huan Xi and get his permission.

As for Huan Wen, naturally there are not so many taboos.

　It’s gone today. I’ve almost recovered. I’ll be able to resume normal updates tomorrow. Updates have been very slow these days, so I’m really sorry.
