Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1080 The Shi family wants to be a fisherman, and the two kings stand in Guanzhong

The border between Daijun and Bingzhou is surrounded by mountains and jungles, which are desolate and barren and inaccessible.

Except for the tribal cavalry who occasionally come here for hunting, only the patrols from the Xiongnu Kingdom and the Xuanjia Army occasionally visit.

Both sides built some outposts and beacon towers on the border to facilitate reporting of news.

However, to the people of the Xiongnu Kingdom, their own beacon tower is not that important, because the Youzhou soldiers and horses will hardly attack, and if they come, they will not be able to stop them. Besides, they will not care about their small beacon tower. An outpost.

Therefore, the garrison in this frontier post is very lazy, they hardly practice, and gathering people to gamble is light.

Sometimes, the soldiers would sneak out together and find a small town in the distance to find game, wine and food. Of course, they would not dare to invade the small towns and villages in Youzhou, in case they were provoked. The Xuanjia Army is a word of death, so the villages and towns in Bingzhou will suffer.

Today, as usual, they returned with a full load. In the same convoy, there were several young women whose hands and feet were tied, thrown on a flatbed truck filled with weeds, and dragged to the guard post.

The soldiers' faces were all shiny and their bodies smelled of alcohol. Some of them were still humming a tune, obviously in a good mood.

"Team leader, these girls today..."

Someone was joking with others, but before they finished speaking, they stopped suddenly.

Boom boom boom!
The tremors on the ground made several drunken soldiers sober up.

"What's wrong? An earthquake?"

Just as these people were gradually panicking, the burly team leader suddenly froze, then pointed forward with a horrified face, opened his mouth and screamed: "It's not an earthquake, it's... it's the Xuanjia Army!"

Everyone looked at his fingers, and then their expressions changed drastically.

On the distant skyline, a pitch-black army was rushing towards me quickly. It was like a black gust of wind, roaring like a black wind that covered the sky and the earth. The ground shook wherever it passed, as if it wanted to swallow everything in its path!
Boom!

A pawn's weapon fell to the ground.

I don’t know who shouted “run”!
This small group of soldiers immediately gave up their duties and dispersed!

………………

"Youzhou will never send troops!"

In the camp outside Luoyang City, a debate broke out again.

Different from yesterday's chaos, this time they were discussing the impact of the emperor's death on the situation. Wenwu, Han and Hu were still arguing on the basis of reason. No conflict broke out. They just insisted on their own opinions and there was no result at all.

"That's enough!" Shi Le said solemnly, relying on his own majesty to barely control the situation, but then he frowned and said: "I let you come here to let you express your opinions and talk about how to decide next, whether to continue to attack Luoyang , occupying the surrounding counties and cities, it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible to prevent changes in Youzhou and disrupt Jizhou! You are better off, the quarrel comes and goes, it is still a question of where to fight! "

Youzhou!

After hearing what Shi Le said, everyone understood and knew what the biggest problem was.

According to rumors, General Zhengbei of Youzhou had a particularly close relationship with the emperor. Not only did the emperor trust him, but Chen Zhengbei also made many gestures to support the emperor.

Now that the emperor has passed away, there is no guarantee that General Zhengbei's Mansion, which has been concentrating on development, will not suddenly rise up. In this case, there will be no peace in the backyard of these people.

"It's not just Youzhou," Nie Daoren, who had already grown a beard, walked out, "Your Majesty... if something like this happens, everyone in the world will be angry. Even the three kings who fled will probably have to raise their banners and avenge you. , there will also be movement among the Jiangzuo gentry, even this...the soldiers who have surrendered in Sizhou will not be able to revolt again, and if they continue to use troops, there may be hidden dangers!"

This scholar, who was a descendant of Buddhism, gritted his teeth when he spoke, revealing his hatred for the Xiongnu!
Just looking at this scene, Shi Le knew clearly that although his strong authority could suppress him for a while, it was ultimately no better than the orthodox thoughts of the Central Plains. Moreover, Nie Daoren's reminder was not unfounded. "The offensive on other parts of Sizhou will be slowed down first, but the siege of Luoyang cannot be stopped. The city is surrounded by us. They don't know the news, so they don't have to worry about variables. Besides, even if they know, they will just resist desperately. What's the difference? Keep attacking! We must capture this city! It's rich and rich, if we can plunder it, we will save several years of hard work!"

Shi Le quickly made a decision. In his opinion, the Huns wanted to capture the emperor, but they got away with it. They caused such a big battle, but they gave themselves a cover. Otherwise, they would have captured the Central Plains Dynasty at other times. In the capital of the country, I don’t know how much commotion there will be. Now it’s better. They are going to fight the Huns. I don’t think many people here will care about it.

Of course, what really worries people is the movements in Youzhou.

After everyone dispersed, Shi Le specifically stayed with Nie Daoren and asked him what he thought.

"If you look at Youzhou's past claims, it is obvious that we still need to focus on development. Even if we want to move, it will be aimed at the Xiongnu."

"In other words, if Chen Zhi was determined to avenge the emperor, he would never come to attack Jizhou." Shi Le was slightly relieved, and then an idea flashed, "We are almost certain that Chen Zhi will probably send troops, and the Xiongnu They are not weak either. Once the two of them fight, how can they decide the outcome in a short period of time? Can we benefit from it?"

Nie Daoren was not surprised by this proposal, but instead asked: "Is the general interested in Youzhou or Bingzhou?"

"The Xiongnu have been running Bingzhou for many years, and there are mountains between them and Jizhou. It is not easy to attack," Shi Le said, showing a thoughtful attitude. "In comparison, Youzhou has only been run by the Chen family for five years, and the food and grass are abundant." , and is also connected to Jizhou.”

"If you plan to merge the state, you can prepare and take the lead. Otherwise, as time goes by, both Tuoba and Tiefu will take action, and they will have to fight with them. You cannot win all the states." Nie Daoren came clearly prepared, " As for Youzhou..."

"How is Youzhou?"

Nie Daoren pondered for a moment and then said: "If you want to plan for Youzhou, you should not move first, but wait and see what happens. If the Xuanjia army and the Xiongnu army are evenly matched, you can plan for it. If the Xuanjia army is weak, you can advance. If Xuan Jia's army is strong, then hold the troops still, otherwise there will be disaster."

When Shi Le heard this, he remained silent. In the end, he just said to wait and see what happens.

After Nie Daoren left, soldiers came to report that there was a general named Zhao Ran who wanted to join him.

Shi Le pondered for a moment and then asked someone to bring Zhao Ran.

Three days later, Guanzhong got the letter.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty was harmed by the Huns!"

The king of Huainan looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, and the king of Chu immediately cursed. The civil and military officials who followed them into Guanzhong felt like they were mourning for their heirs.

However, in the midst of everyone's grief, one person stood up and said to the two kings who were sobbing: "My honour, my sincere condolences, there are three major things that must be done now!"

This person is Zhang Ying.

King Chu calmed down a little, wiped his tears, and asked, "Jun Zhang, please tell me, what are the three things?"

Zhang Yinggong raised his voice and said——

"First, we should call on everyone in the world to fight against the Xiongnu!"

"Secondly, the Huns should be ordered to send the dragon body into the pass!"

"Third, the prince should be appointed to the throne to calm the hearts of all the people!"
