Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1086: Xianbei double move, Han Dynasty divided into two parts

After Tuoba and Murong made their decisions, the orders were quickly conveyed. After all, in their view, it was time to race against time, and of course they were unwilling to waste time.

On that day, both sides gathered their troops and marched toward the south.

However, the Tuoba tribe chose to march in the northwest of Bingzhou. They planned to bypass the west side of Yanmen County and attack Taiyuan County. They would occupy some land first, and if that didn't work, they would also plunder a few;
But Murong's soldiers went south and entered Pingzhou. On the day Murong's soldiers entered Pingzhou, some of the soldiers and horses of the Yuwen tribe who had been recruited rebelled from Youzhou and robbed the imprisoned Yuwen Kai. A flag of rebellion was raised.

In an instant, Zhang Fang's Xuanjia army's retreat was cut off.

However, the movements of the Murong and Tuoba tribes were not isolated after all. Once the two families moved, Rouran, who was barely supporting in the north, suddenly went south, attacking the small clan controlled and protected by the two families.

The whole north is almost in chaos.

At the same time, south of Youzhou, Zu Ti suddenly organized an army and entered Youzhou. He obviously had a tacit understanding with the General's Mansion, so he took the road and entered Pingzhou.

As soon as the soldiers and horses from Jizhou left, the movements of the King of Hejian became clear. He was heading south to Sizhou with his soldiers and horses to enter Luoyang!
However, as soon as Hejian King's army left Jizhou, they were stopped by the rear troops left by Shi Le. The two sides fought fiercely. As a result, Hejian King was defeated and had to stop the offensive temporarily.

Suddenly, news of the war spread like snowflakes in all directions and reached every house.

Shi Le, who was besieging Luoyang, looked at the northern battle report, frowning, and was a little undecided. In this case, if he was obsessed with Luoyang, he would probably miss the opportunity to fight.

"The King of Hejian in Jizhou has moved, the Xiongnu Kingdom in Bingzhou is attacked by Youzhou, and the Xuanjia Army in Youzhou is almost out. Under this situation, if I am held back by Luoyang, I will lose more than I gain. ”

Sitting in the tent, Shi Le fell into a difficult decision.

Luoyang's wealth was originally Shile's goal, and conquering the city was also of great political significance. But on the other hand, Sizhou was the core of the world, connected to everywhere, and Luoyang was the place of the Four Wars. It was easy to attack but difficult to defend. Shile itself Wei Zhen plans to stay here for how long. Unless he can follow the plan and take the opportunity to occupy more of the city and defend Luoyang, he will retreat sooner or later.

But compared with Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, the actual value here has dropped a lot. After all, those three states can all be used as stable rear areas.

But Luoyang has been under attack for so long and has been under siege for a long time. It is not that easy to just leave.

Just when Shi Le had a headache over this and wanted to summon Nie Daoren to come over for discussion, someone suddenly came over to report that it was Zhao Ran who had defected to him earlier and wanted to meet with the commander-in-chief.

"Let him in!"

When Zhao Ran came in and saw Shi Le, he immediately knelt down in an exaggerated manner, then knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, saying "Long live King Zhao."

Shi Le didn't stop him. After Zhao Ran finished his performance, he said, "What do you have to report when you come here?"

Zhao Ran then said: "To inform the king, I know that the king is troubled and I am willing to capture Luoyang for the king!"

Shi Le remained silent.

Zhao Ran felt a little pressure and took the initiative to explain: "My subordinates have some friendship with several people in Luoyang. They are willing to enter the city late at night and persuade them to open their doors and surrender, so as not to waste their lives." "You want to say surrender?" Shi Le smiled instead. "You are notorious now, and you are a regicide. If you enter the city, you may be the first to be killed. Who would dare to respond?"

"This is also a strategy," Zhao Ran didn't care about the sarcasm in Shi Le's words, "Luoyang is besieged, and it is difficult to get out from inside and outside. I don't know the news from the outside world. It's okay for my subordinates to go here. Wait until the people inside surrender. Knowing what my subordinates have done, they have become accomplices, and the people of the world will say that they are in cahoots with me. At that time, there is no way to argue, why can't they just submit to the king and do things for the king wholeheartedly?"

Seeing the man in front of him, who was not ashamed but proud, Shi Le also felt contempt from the bottom of his heart, but he had been in power for a few years, and his past temperament had already worn away. At this time, he calmly agreed to Zhao Ran's plan .

As soon as Zhao Ran left, another piece of information came from the back, but this time, Shi Le tasted a different aura from it——

"The Han court on the left side of Jiangzuo elected King Langya as its leader?"

It turned out that what was written in the intelligence was the reaction of Jiangzuo and Jiangnan. It said that after the hundreds of aristocratic families received the letter of the collapse of the dragon, they wore sackcloth and mourning and worshiped from afar. The person who was elected to preside over the sacrifice was Langya King Liu Gai. .

After several days of spreading the news of the emperor's death, all the major forces were aware of it and slowly responded. Just one day ago, the movements of troops and horses in Guanzhong and Hanzhong had reached Shi Le's hands. Having gained Jiang Zuo's trust, we need to make plans.

So Shi Le immediately summoned Nie Daoren and asked for his opinion. In addition to the fact that Nie was his chief adviser, more importantly, the power of the Buddhist family behind Nie Daoren in Jiangzuo expanded rapidly and was closely related to the famous Gao clan. Get first-hand information.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Nie Daoren pondered for a moment, then bowed to Shi Le and said congratulations.

Shi Le sat still and asked: "Where does happiness come from?" At the same time, he looked at the counselor in front of him.

Compared with when he heard the emperor's bad news a few days ago, Nie Daoren had returned to normal. At that time, this famous Buddhist scholar also showed his hatred for the Huns, but now he could speak frankly, making Shi Le secretly nod.

"This is a sign that the Han Dynasty is divided!"

Nie Daoren didn't know Shi Le's thoughts, he just analyzed the situation, and what he said made Shi Le's heart move.

"You mean, Jiang Zuo wants to be independent?"

"That's right," Nie Daoren nodded. "There has always been a gap between Jiangzuo and the north of the Han court. The two sides were not of the same mind. In the past, the Liu family was co-owner, so they lived in peace. Later, disasters hit the north for many years. In order to relieve the disaster, the court In order to cultivate self-cultivation, we had to increase the tax on Jiangzuo, which increased the burden on the Jiangnan family, and there were faint signs of it."

"If we are still unified, it will subside in a few years. However, there are wars everywhere in the world, and Sizhou is blocked by the general. The prince and the three kings are going west, and there are still princes living on the left of the river. It is difficult for the two sides to communicate with each other. , the government decree has changed, and it is natural to split it into two. Otherwise, if we ask Guanzhong for instructions on everything in Jiangzuo, there will be problems."

"Not to mention, the aristocratic families in Jiangzuo don't look down on the families in the north, and they have a lot of resistance in their hearts. Of course they will seize this opportunity and stand on their own in order to protect themselves and then strive for great power."

When Shi Le heard this, he became a little impatient, and asked simply: "There is a prince in Guanzhong. If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then Jiangzuo will be separated and there will be an emperor of his own. Could it be King Langya?"

"If the prince ascends the throne, he will be in the hands of the two kings. He will be a king in vain," Nie Daoren said: "In an instant, Jiangzuo will not be able to establish his own emperor. The name is not correct and the words are not smooth, but although the name is not , but there is truth, that King Langya is afraid that he will become the true king of Jiangzuo."
