Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1095

That night, the soldiers and horses of the Tuoba tribe retreated towards the north and soon disappeared.

However, even though the two armies of the Tiefu Tribe and the Tuoba Tribe retreated, the Xuanjia Army, which was stationed and monitored in Bingzhou opposite them, did not stop garrisoning and still maintained a scale of several hundred people. Constantly switching defenses, day and night.

Under such circumstances, the western border of Bingzhou gradually calmed down.

In contrast, the Tuoba tribe in the north and the Tiefu tribe in the west quickly sent their own envoys to Youzhou.

However, these envoys had to wait after arriving in Youzhou, because the real heart of Youzhou, Chen Zhi, the general who conquered the north, was still in Bingzhou.

Jinyang, this majestic city full of history, completely appeared before Chen Zhi's eyes. He rode in on horseback. As soon as he stepped into the city, he felt a strong, simple, and heavy feeling between heaven and earth. The breath is brewing slowly.

When he looked up, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he could vaguely see a horned dragon hovering in the air, wailing. Although it was showing its teeth and claws, it was tied up with black chains and slowly falling.

"The time is coming soon, but the current accumulation is not enough. Liu Cong may be weak, and it is not enough to calm the anger in my heart..."

Chen Zhi withdrew his gaze and walked straight in.

Both sides of the streets in Jinyang were already lined with people from local aristocratic families. When everyone saw Chen Zhi approaching, they lowered their heads and saluted respectfully and humbly.

Chen Zhi nodded in response.

Bingzhou has a long history, and the roots of the aristocratic families here are even more profound. There are also old aristocratic families like the Wang family in Taiyuan, whose history can be traced back to the pre-Qin Dynasty. They are certainly not lacking in humanistic atmosphere, but they were suppressed by the Xiongnu Qiulong in the past, so that they gradually became dusty.

Even so, when the Huns were in charge of Bingzhou, they had to worry about the influence of the family and did not dare to push too hard.

Few people from these aristocratic families serve as officials in the Xiongnu. Those truly influential figures and elders in the clan, in the face of the Xiongnu's conquests and invitations, are put on the back burner. It protects the safety of the bloodline inheritance, and more importantly, leaves a way out for the family.

Now, with the collapse of the Huns, the advantages of the old and wise families are manifested. When the small clans are frightened by the fact that the pillars of the clan are serving the Huns, these big clans can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and send the middle-aged and hard-core to meet them. Chen Zhi, looking at the mighty Xuanjia Army, could even comment on it, feeling very uncomfortable.

"As expected of my Han family's soldiers and horses, you look at the energy and energy of each of them, they are really extraordinary!"

"Isn't that right? I heard that this army and horses were unstoppable along the way. How arrogant the Huns were in the past. They always said that we and other Han soldiers were vulnerable. What happens now? In just ten months, a country was destroyed. That was in ancient times. , such elite soldiers are rare!"

"It's not only rare, it's completely unheard of! I heard that General Zhengbei is going to host a dinner in the next few days. At that time, we must go over and visit his old man and ask for his advice. I'm not going to hide it from you. I'm interested in military affairs and family matters. I need to do some research for him.”

"Okay, Brother Wang didn't pay much attention to the military affairs in the past. He only let the younger generations study and get less involved in the military affairs. Why has he changed his mind now? Could it be that after seeing the mighty Xuanjia Army, he had a crush on him? Read it."

"Brother Guo, you don't know, the military affairs of the Xuanjia Army, not only the way to go to battle, but also the way to practice martial arts, also requires a scholar who has read poetry and books, and he can also be an official! "

"Speaking of this, I just remembered that Youzhou has a law for civil and military examinations. Even if the children of aristocratic families want to become officials, the country ranks will not help much. They need to pass the civil and military examinations before they can get the job. I don't know when the time will come. Bingzhou, do you want to implement it too?" As soon as this remark came out, people from all the aristocratic families had different expressions, some nodded in agreement, some frowned, and some wanted to advise, saying that this law was against common sense and disrupted the norms .

But they all acknowledged the fact that Bingzhou was under the jurisdiction of the Zhengbei General's Mansion.

While they were talking, the Xuanjia Army entering the city had already entered the palace city of Jinyang.

The palace city has been renovated for several years, and a lot of manpower and financial resources have been spent. However, due to the limitations of the city's innate layout, it finally seems to be lacking in momentum. Especially for someone like Chen Zhi who has seen the continuous palaces in Luoyang, he can feel the power of the Xiongnu Palace. A hint of embarrassment.

"When Liu Yuan was in power, the Xiongnu kingdom was all in Zuoguocheng, and there were not many palaces. Liu Yuan always reminded the tribesmen to go south. This is really to cultivate the dragon's energy, but it has not taken root. The interest relationship is relatively clear, and it is easy to mobilize the tribes. , so at that time the Xiongnu had strong luck, and finally occupied Bingzhou, and the Marquis of Wuxiang were not allowed to display their military skills."

He turned his head and glanced at the streets of Jinyang again.

"But then the Huns established their country, and in Liu Cong's generation, they took root in Jinyang, built a lot of construction projects, and allowed themselves, the foreign horned dragon, to settle down and establish a family. Immediately, the blood of the Xiongnu Liu family infected Bingzhou, and became integrated with the relationships everywhere. Although the interlacing has stabilized the situation, it has also caused a loss of blood. After all, it is a foreign clan, which has left a root of disaster. The palace in Jinyang reflects such a pattern, and it is a situation where the dragon is trapped!"

After entering the palace, Chen Zhi did not go to the main hall to sit on the dragon chair. Instead, he came to the imperial study room and sent troops and horses to surround the palace inside and outside.

"The treasury in the palace must be strictly guarded. Money and artifacts must not be leaked out. The pavilions where files are stored must be carefully guarded. There must be no negligence. Books and classics must not be lost. The officials who manage the books are under guard and have people come in to count them."

After getting the order, Chen Ju took people to carry it out, and Chen Zhi issued another order: "Where are Jin Zhun and others? Let them come to see me, I have something to ask."

"promise!"

As this order was conveyed, Jin Zhun and others who had been waiting outside the palace became nervous.

Since the opening of the city gate, these people have been worried about their fate, but as defectors, they also represent several interest groups behind them. I believe that Chen Zhi will not kill them, but whether they will be deposed, it is true Hard to say.

"Since there is a summons, everyone, I'd better go see the general first."

As Jin Zhun finished speaking, several people nodded and followed the messenger to the imperial study.

Among the surrendered Xiongnu civil and military officials, the current leaders are Jin Zhun and Wang Teng. In addition, Jin Kang and others are the key figures who single-handedly led the Jinyang Palace Rebellion, and their positions are very consistent. , is to ensure the inheritance of their own family, and it is best to retain power.

Of course, the most important reason is that the people in Jinyang City were frightened by the series of battle reports from the Xuanjia Army and did not have the courage to continue to fight, so they pushed Liu Cong out of the tank.

With all kinds of thoughts in mind, the group arrived at the destination, looked at the figure sitting on it, led by Jin Zhun, and knelt down one by one.

"I've seen the general."
