Chapter 550 Xianbei Internal Strife

At this point in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan himself was speechless. Later generations, whenever they mention him, always seem to think:

He, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, seems to have little presence?

So, they all remember his Li Erfeng?!

……

Meanwhile, in the Western Jin Dynasty, upon hearing this, people realized once again just how significant the impact of the War of the Eight Princes truly was!

Those with strong armies and powerful horses all want to compete for this world.

It seems that the possibility of assimilating non-Han peoples, such as the Xianbei Murong and the Xiongnu Liu Yuan, is greater.

However, once a regime rises, it also declines very quickly; dynasties like the Sui and Tang are still a long way off.

The Murong Xianbei were no exception.

.........

Lin Ke continued, "Although the Murong family has produced many talented people over three generations, having brothers, especially in a large and powerful family, means they should be very experienced in this area. Fights between brothers are inevitable."

Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty: '???' I understand very well!

"Therefore, after Murong Hui's death, the new emperor Murong Huang and his brothers Murong Han, Murong Ren and others had conflicts, which is an old tradition."

"The new emperor is suspicious, and the brothers reacted differently. For example, the eldest brother, Murong Hui's outstanding eldest son, followed his father's path and fled to the Xianbei Duan tribe."

"However, many years later, as the sun sets, another member of the Murong family who fled to a foreign land will add another chapter to his legend, but we'll talk about that later."

The people of Wanchao: Don't keep us in suspense like this!!

"As for Murong Ren and Murong Zhao, they are very disgusted by their elder brother's escape. They would rather rebel than stay in a foreign land, even if they fail."

"As a result, in 334 AD, the Murong family was embroiled in internal strife. Murong Zhao was unlucky and died first after the plot was exposed, leaving Murong Ren and Murong Huang to fight each other. The internal strife of the War of the Eight Princes did not serve as a lesson for today's situation."

"The other nearby tribes, adhering to the principle of watching the excitement and not minding the trouble, such as the Xianbei Duan tribe, joined Murong Ren's forces to rebel against the new emperor."

"This war lasted for two or three years. In 336 AD, Murong Huang devised a brilliant plan: taking advantage of the frozen Bohai Bay, he would cross the sea and send troops to attack."

"Although it sounds far-fetched, the ice was really thick. Murong Huang's army crossed the Bohai Bay before Murong Ren even noticed it."

"Therefore, the army launched a surprise attack. Murong Ren had no time to react and was forced into battle, ultimately suffering defeat and death. Afterwards, the divided Murong tribe was reunited."

"A year later, Murong Huang decided to make a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes. He not only proclaimed himself King of Yan, but also submitted to Later Zhao in order to jointly attack the Xianbei Duan tribe."

"However, after defeating the Duan tribe, Murong Huang, for some reason, perhaps not having heard of Shi Hu's exploits, did not go to join forces with them. As a result, he was very angry and immediately sent troops to attack the Murong Xianbei."

"It must be said that Murong had some luck. After more than ten days, the Later Zhao was defeated and fled by Murong Ke's attack one morning, and Murong was thus relieved of the crisis."

"As for Murong Han, after fleeing to the Duan tribe, he fled to the Yuwen tribe. When Murong Huang's men came looking for him, they discovered that Murong Han had gone mad."

"For example, sometimes he urinates and defecates while lying down, and sometimes he kneels and begs, running around. As for whether he's really crazy or pretending to be crazy, the leader of the Yuwen tribe said he has no experience with that!"

"But Judy, a descendant of Judy, said, 'I understand you, senior.'"

"So, Murong Han, who had feigned madness for the past few years to familiarize himself with the terrain of the Yuwen tribe, finally succeeded in returning to his hometown."

"At this moment, as Murong Han approaches his hometown with a sense of trepidation, will he think of his father who fled and returned many years ago?"

Judy, the Great General Who Conquers the North: Feigning madness once will bring shame for life!!!
