He felt he had made the right bet this time; he hadn't misjudged Murong Lie after all... Murong Lie was indeed a capable person!
In fact, the criteria for selecting a usable talent do not necessarily require you to have some brilliant "schemes".
As long as you can strictly follow the instructions of your superiors and do the things assigned to you well, you're already a genius!
Humans are too complex; various objective and subjective factors can affect the final outcome of a task!
Therefore, reliability is actually a person's greatest value!
Jiang Ming was not a stingy person. He directly granted Murong Lie the title of Khan of the two Xianbei tribes and ordered him to establish a state in the territory of Zhongshan State. The state was also named "Yan" and was called Murong Yan State, which existed as a vassal state of Yan State.
He did this for one of two purposes.
The first objective, of course, was to win over Murong Lie.
I've already made you king, so naturally you'll be even more loyal and grateful to me!
This is much more practical than marrying your sister to him...
The second objective was also to restrain the Xianbei Khan.
On one side is his father, on the other is his brother-in-law... So, who should Murong Lie listen to?
Jiang Ming definitely wants him to listen to him...
Jiang Ming knew that the Tuoba tribe had been wiped out.
The current situation in the entire north is controlled by the more than 40,000 Xianbei troops led by Murong Lie.
This army was composed entirely of the Xianbei Khan's troops.
By bestowing the title of king upon Murong Lie, he naturally developed ambitions for independence and would no longer obey the Xianbei Khan in everything!
In this way, by shifting the focus of the conflict, Jiang Ming effectively gained control of the 40,000 troops.
Otherwise...
A single order from the Xianbei Khan could determine the fate of the northern border regions and even the counties of Yan.
It's not that Jiang Ming doesn't trust his father-in-law, or that he thinks his father-in-law will betray him.
But relying on conscience, loyalty, or friendship is unreliable.
There must be some "contradictions" as a prelude, so that they can check and balance each other in order to maximize one's own interests!
Murong Lie is already the new 'King of Zhongshan', so naturally he won't be particularly interested in the 'succession' of the Xianbei Khan, which has not yet been determined.
After all, in terms of the overall size of the population, the Zhongshan Kingdom definitely had a larger population than the main Xianbei tribes!
After arranging these matters, Zhiyao and the Han family's army arrived at Changping!
Jiang Ming was also preparing to personally take charge and challenge the most powerful physician in the Jin Kingdom...
