The situation in Liaodong has not been very stable recently, and it has even exceeded Liu Yu's previous expectations. Liu Yu's strategy of supporting Yuwen Xianbei to check and balance Murong Xianbei has encountered great obstacles.

Yuwen Mogui and his son were really unbearable. After receiving a lot of support from the Han army, they won consecutive victories against the tribes on the grassland, but they suffered repeated setbacks against the Murong Xianbei in Liaodong.

The Yuwen Xianbei's two consecutive attacks were defeated by the Murong Xianbei. Not only did they lose the power they had just established, but they also seized a large number of military supplies and Dingkou by the Murong Xianbei, which was very tantamount to the style of a transport brigade leader.

"Murong Xianbei is a vassal of our dynasty. This is naturally a metaphor for the emperor of our dynasty, so that he can be content with his own self-discipline and not cause trouble to His Majesty."

Liu Wei said very seriously.

"Hmph, the Murong Xianbei is wild and difficult to tame. It has repeatedly invaded our Liaozhou area. I still have time to deal with them." Liu Zhi turned his back on the war in Liaodong and fell on Murong's army.

"What Your Majesty said seems to be different from the facts." Liu Wei said in a humble and arrogant manner.

"I heard that the Emperor was the Emperor of Yuwen's army who was full of ambitions and repeatedly went south to plunder and was defeated by Murong's plunder. It wasn't Murong who wanted to plunder Liaozhou."

"And when the two dynasties were accorded, it had already agreed not to intercept the envoys of the tribute. What he asked now is all justified. If Your Majesty obstructed it, it would be unreasonable."

Liu Wei said bluntly.

"Hahaha, just Murong Barbarians, you want to go there, I'm too lazy to stop anything."

Liu Yu said indifferently.

"Then the foreign minister thanked Your Majesty first!" Liu Wei said.

At this time, both sides already knew the answer they wanted to know.

The Jinshi of Jiangdong knew that Liu Yu had no intention of going south, and he would handle internal affairs disputes well after he returned.

Liu Yu also knew that the internal conflicts in the Jiangdong Jin Dynasty were difficult to resolve and could not pose any threat to him for the time being.

After Liu Wei left, Liu Yu immediately summoned people to approach him.

"You go and find out if there have been any changes in the Murong tribe in Liaodong recently, or what have been changes in Liaodong."

Now the Murong Xianbei in Liaodong has won many times at a disadvantage and is very glorious.

However, as a vassal of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu was not good at entering the venue directly.

The best way is to take advantage of the situation and use these barbarians to consume each other.

If there is an opportunity for the situation in Liaodong, Liu Yu can make another big move.

Sure enough, Liu Yu's guess was not out of Liu Yu's opinion. A few days later, Liu Yu quickly obtained information about Liaodong.

"Your Majesty, civil strife has occurred in Liaodong."

Gongsun Sheng, who was specifically responsible for border affairs, came to report to Liu Yu in person.

"What kind of civil strife?" Liu Yu asked immediately with concern.

There are now three largest forces in the Liaodong area.

They are Cui Wei, the governor of Pingzhou, the Xianbei tribe of Murong Treasury and the Goguryeo people.

Among them, the governor of Pingzhou Cui Weiyan and Murong's troops are both in the core area of ​​Liaodong.

"Cui Li-Cheng conspired to join forces with the Goguryeo people and some Xianbei ministries to send troops to attack Murong's tribe. He never thought that the secret was leaked. Murong Wei took the lead and had defeated Cui Li-Cheng." Gongsun Sheng said.

"This Cui Wuyan is really overestimating his abilities!" Liu Yu was immediately disdained.

The governor of Pingzhou Cui Liyan was born in the Qinghe Cui family. He was the eldest brother-in-law of the former governor of Youzhou Wang Jun. After Wang Jun was destroyed by internal chaos, Cui Liyan completely controlled the tribes in Liaodong.

Cui Liyan had a great ambition. He intended to win over the power of the powerful Han people in Liaodong and copy the old story of Gongsun Du's separatist rule in Liaodong.

Faced with Liu Yu's previous win-win, Cui neither refused nor agreed.

He had been secretly accumulating strength, thinking of annexing Murong Xianbei first and then making a final decision.

"Cui Wei was very talented and had a very negligent behavior. He was betrayed by his subordinates to Murong Wei, and the Xianbei soldiers defeated him without any blood."

Gongsun Sheng then explained the information he heard in detail.

Murong Xianbei's counterattack was not very thrilling, and it could even be said that it was very easy to deal with Cui Li.

"Where is Cui Liyan's whereabouts now?" Liu Yu asked.

"I don't know, there is no news from Dongpingzhou. I should have run to the Goguryeo people." Gongsun Sheng said.

"Hehe, it seems that Cui Liyan is still very shameless." Liu Yu teased.

When Cui Wei had the capital in his hands, he did not agree to Liu Yu's favor. Now he is a loser, but he has not come to surrender. It must be because of his face and dignity.

"Qinghe Cui Family is famous outside, and I never thought there would be mediocre people like Cui Wu."

"It seems that Sima Rui wants to send an envoy to Liaodong, which is probably for this."

Liu Yu had basically guessed the intention of sending an envoy to Liaodong.

Now Cui Wei is finished, and the only loyal ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty in Liaodong were Murong Xianbei and Goguryeo people.

If the Jin Dynasty in Jiangdong wants to continue to maintain its influence in Liaodong, it must recognize the status of Murong Xianbei.

Otherwise, once Liu Yu took this opportunity to intervene in Liaodong, he only needed to send a few envoys to reward him, and the Murong Xianbei could change his sect, just like the case in Yingchuan County.

In that case, the Jiangdong Jin Dynasty would have completely lost this powerful force in the vassal state.

"Your Majesty, why not take this opportunity to directly send troops to Liaodong and destroy Murong's troops in one fell swoop, completely eliminating this worries." Gongsun Sheng said.

"The time is not right, and it is not the best time to do it now."

Liu Yu was naturally very afraid of Murong Xianbei's potential.

The Murong Xianbei in history, which began to rise strongly from Murong Ling, Murong Huang and his son, the morale of the Duan Bu, Yuwen, and Goguryeo were all punished and obedient, laying the foundation for the later march into the Central Plains in the chaos.

"There is Liaoze in the west of Murong's army, which is inconvenient to transfer. The leader is not a mediocre person like Gongsun Kang back then. If we want to learn from Sima Yi's surprise attack, it will probably be difficult to achieve." Liu Yu said.

"Anyway, Murong is surrounded by three sides, so he only needs to solve the problem of Central Plains and then turn to deal with them. That's simple."

"Your Majesty, will the Jin envoy still let it go this time?" Gongsun Sheng asked.

"Let them go. The so-called Jin vassal of the Murong tribe is just a name. Even if Sima Rui asked them to send troops to harass our dynasty, I'm afraid I won't really obey it." Liu Yu was very clear about these Xianbei people.

These are all guys who only look at interests. Although they shouted that they admired the learning of sages and read some poetry and books, when they were truly implemented, they never took any loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness seriously.

At least, these Xianbei people did not regard the Sima family in the Jin Dynasty as the object of loyalty and righteousness, and everything was just an illusion.

After Gongsun Sheng left, Liu Yu processed some of the reports in his hands.

When everything is over, I find that it is almost time for lunch.

Liu Yu was going to go to Youzhou in a few days, so he wanted to get closer to the queen, Wang Ze and his son, so he went directly to Jiaofang Palace.

As soon as he entered the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Yu heard the sound of silk and bamboo music in the hall far away.

"Who did the queen summon today?" Liu Yu asked the eunuch next to him.

"Your Highness summoned the Southern Dynasties' family to come today."

Only then did Liu Yu remember that the family members of the Jin Dynasty in Jiangdong were about to go to Jiankang.

Many of these people are in-laws of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Wang Ze took good care of them before, but now he is about to part with him, so he naturally wants to get together. Maybe if he parted today, he will not have the chance to see him again in the future.

In this kind of occasion, in addition to the female relatives in the Jin family, many noble ladies from the dynasty are naturally indispensable. In the event of women gathering together, Liu Yu is not convenient to get in and get involved.

He found out that the Crown Prince Liu Zhi was in the side hall, so he went straight there. It was also very fun to accompany the children more.

Liu Yu walked around the main hall and looked at the side hall from the corridor next to him.

This is actually not far away, you just need to bypass two corners and arrive.

Liu Yuping withdrew the eunuchs and palace maids who were following him, and walked freely in the courtyard and was walking in the corridor.

Although this Yecheng Imperial Palace is simple, walking inside also has a simple and elegant beauty.

This is almost the first time that Liu Yu has experienced this feeling with all his heart.

He walked through the corner of the first corridor and entered another corridor that directly leads to the palace and courtyard.

This is also the exit of the side door of the main hall.

As soon as Liu Yu walked by the corner, he suddenly saw a thin figure sitting by the corridor.

He began to think that it was the noble lady in the main hall who came out to breathe, and he was about to think that he didn't see anything and walked around.

But suddenly I heard a faint crying sound.

Liu Yu was immediately curious and couldn't help but walk forward to see who it was.

When Liu Yu walked behind her, the woman didn't notice it and still sobbed quietly.

Judging from the clothes and bun on her body, Liu Yu knew that this was a girl.

"Who are you and why are you crying here?"

Liu Yu suddenly made a sound, which scared the girl.

She stood up in panic and turned around, and tears were still there on a bright face. The fright and panic had no effect on her perfect appearance.

“Huh?”

When Liu Yu saw this face, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Sima Congyan?"
