然而,慕容才渐渐发现了南王国的腐败和内政不善。他认为北方的西王国可以给予他更多的权力和荣耀,于是他开始策划一场巧妙的阴谋。他帮助敌国了解了南王国的军事计划,并传达给西王国。南王国在一次战斗中被西王国击败。

Translation (南辕北辙)
First Paragraph: The Unpredictability of Fortune
In the southern kingdom, there was a young and intelligent prince named Murong Cai. Murong Cai was cunning and had great insights in politics and strategy. He often advised the king of the southern kingdom and helped the kingdom in their battles against enemy states, leading them to several victories. As a result, Murong Cai gained the favor and friendship of both the southern kingdom's people and the western kingdom.
Second Paragraph: The Plot of Transformation
However, Murong Cai gradually discovered the corruption and mismanagement within the southern kingdom's government. He believed that the western kingdom in the north could offer him more power and glory. Thus, he began to plot a clever scheme. He aided the enemy state in obtaining information about the southern kingdom's military plans and relayed it to the western kingdom. As a result, the southern kingdom was defeated by the western kingdom in a battle.
Third Paragraph: The Irony of South-Facing Chariot and North-Facing Steeds
The western kingdom acquired the southern kingdom's lands and wealth, and Murong Cai gained the power and position he longed for. However, he overlooked one crucial fact: the western kingdom was not a trustworthy ally. Murong Cai soon became seen as a threat by the monarch of the western kingdom due to his intelligence and wit. Eventually, Murong Cai was assassinated by the western kingdom, and his plot led him to a situation where he regretted his actions. He experienced the irony of the South-Facing Chariot and North-Facing Steeds.
