Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1023

"...The situation was urgent at that time. 2000 of us were surrounded by 1 opponents. All the soldiers in the army panicked, but the subordinates were inexplicably excited and clear-headed. The subordinates looked for the enemy who gave orders. Immediately ordered all the crossbowmen of the army to shoot at that man, and he was shot dead, and then the enemy army collapsed!"

As soon as Ran Zhan came in, he heard Chen Zhi ask about the process. Without saying anything, he started talking about it with great excitement, looking as excited as possible.

It's no wonder that although he had made many meritorious deeds before, he spent most of his time following others, with Chen Zhi escorting and giving orders. Ran Zhan's soldiers and horses could only be said to be executing orders, which was the icing on the cake when the overall situation was decided. , if there is merit, others will have to mention Chen Zhi first, and basically not mention Ran Zhan.

But this time, on the day Wei Xiong was captured, he got Chen Zhi's order and led three thousand troops out to rob the Han people. It can be said that he personally led the army and took charge of it alone.

In order to avoid being dissuaded, Chen Zhi didn't mention it to others after he issued the order. He only arranged two teams of soldiers and horses in Dai County and Guangning County as support and insurance. Once Ran Zhan's men came back, or in other words If the defeat is revealed, these two troops can attack as reinforcements.

But the result surprised Chen Zhi. In his original plan, he planned to let Ran Zhan snatch some people out, and cooperate with the envoys sent to negotiate with Tuoba Liuxiu to bring in the family members of Wei Xiong and others. Come out, if you still have enough energy, you can just grab a few thousand or hundreds of people, which can be considered as a deterrent to the grassland tribes.

I didn't expect this kid to be so powerful. When I received the news, I realized that Ran Zhan had actually taken over a major tribal stronghold of Tuoba Liuxiu and brought back all the more than 4 Han people gathered there. .

"I'm curious, how did you escape from being hunted by Sixth Cultivator with so many people?"

Chen Zhi saw that Ran Zhan's mood had calmed down a little, so he asked. Although there was news from the Secret Service, it was not clear after all, and could not compare with the description of Ran Zhan, the person who had experienced it.

"It's a coincidence." The person who spoke this time was Gao Bing, Ran Zhan's adjutant. "When we were waiting for the attack, Tuoba Liuxiu was ready to go out to meet Tuoba Yulu. He had no time to think about it, so he had to send his generals out to meet him. Then The general is also a powerful person. He saw through our march at once, so he sent people to outflank us. If the captain had not responded calmly, our troops would have been scattered long ago. The opponent was a tribal soldier. Once the general was lost, he would immediately The rabble was formed. Although they were not scattered, they were unable to fight any longer. The captain ordered a crossbow to shoot the enemy general to death, and then led his troops to charge. Although the remaining soldiers and horses were large in number, they had no organizational command. They were doing their own thing, and soon they were all Panic, running away.”

"So that's it. The enemy's men and horses were originally those who guarded that tribe's stronghold." Chen Zhi was not surprised by the grassland tribe's behavior. Whether it was the several times he led the army to fight or the original historical situation, It is enough to show that there are many problems in the grassland tribes at this time. They seem to be fierce, but in fact they have a loose organization. Once the leader is gone, they will immediately disperse from an army into countless individuals, and they will no longer have fighting power.

"That's right," Gao Bing nodded, "Without the protection of this army and horses, the tribal station can be said to be defenseless. Once we had clear access, we took the opportunity to lure out all the cattle, sheep and people inside, and while Tuo When Ba Liuxiu was fighting with Tuoba Yulu and had no time to care about him, he came back quickly."

At the end, Gao Bing also showed a smile: "Tuoba Sixth Cultivator sent troops to pursue, but the two troops arranged by the Lord responded in time, blocked the enemy's attack, and protected more than 4 people from entering Dai County! Those The Xianbei people dare not break through and enter Daijun."

A few simple words can make people feel the danger and excitement inside. Zhang Kang, who was listening next to him, couldn't help but look at Ran Zhan and Gao Bing. In the past, he seemed to respect them on the surface, but to some extent because of their different backgrounds, He was despised, and Ran Zhan had no real results before, but after this battle, the situation was completely different.

Chen Zhi nodded with satisfaction and praised: "It is certainly a coincidence that we can achieve such a result this time, but being able to seize fleeting opportunities and make decisive decisions is an important talent of a military strategist. You have done a good job. ! Ran Zhan, you, the captain, should be promoted to a regular position. Gao Bing, your position should also be mentioned. Do you plan to stay in the army or work in the general's mansion? "

Hearing this, both Ran Zhan and Gao Bing were very excited, knowing that they were going to be promoted to rank, and Gao Bing expressed his willingness to continue to assist Ran Zhan in the army.

Chen Zhi gave a few words of encouragement, and then asked about the situation of Wei Xiong's family.

"Don't worry, my lord," Ran Zhan patted his chest, "I know the priorities. After the messenger you sent out made contact, he immediately picked up the person without giving the other party a chance. What's that called? Wei Cao was quite reluctant. Even after reading Wei Xiong's autographed letter, he still didn't believe it..." Chen Zhi looked at Gao Bing, who understood and explained: "Mr. Wei is still a little worried and is not sure about the situation. I understand very well, but I am afraid that it will affect my family. After explanation, I finally understand, but there is still some grudge."

"Mr. Wei Cao is a talented elder. Such a person will definitely think more. We can only slowly dispel his doubts in the future. Fortunately, there will be no shortage of things to do in Youzhou in the future, and he will always find a home." Chen Zhi nodded.

After some words, it was already late at night. No matter Ran Zhan, Gao Bing, or Zhang Kang who arrived first, they were too shy to delay Chen Zhi's rest, so they all left.

But they didn't know that with Chen Zhi's luck, as his control over Youzhou became deeper and deeper, his energy and physical strength became more abundant, and he could maintain activities for a long time with one or two hours of sleep every day.

Therefore, Chen Zhi kept working on things until late at night.

The next day, more things happened.

This is also the reason why after he captured Youzhou before, he did not immediately deal with the affairs of Youzhou. Instead, he led his troops out of the fortress and postponed many things, so it seemed that they were all crowded together.

Some time later, first Murong Han, who had returned without success outside the Great Wall, was arranged to come to Jixian County, and then a group of aristocratic families from Dai County came directly to ask for instructions on the next step. Together with Zaosong, Envoys such as Huan Yi also arrived one after another.

Of course, the Chen family members also came with them.

Suddenly, the situation in Jixian County of Youzhou was so intense that it became the focus of the entire north. Countless things happened one after another. In the future, Youzhou will be in a low-key development stage. Then, many things broke out one after another in the world, and the people of Youzhou were also shocked. The focus slowly dissipates.

Time passes slowly, and the opportunity that many people are waiting for is slowly approaching.

"The curtain is about to rise!"

A few months later, in Zhending City, Zhang Bin, who received news from the front line, looked at the letter in his hand and sighed.

The first year of Pingxing, winter.

When the news of Shi Le's victory over Yecheng came out, the world was shocked.
