Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 404 Wang Jun and Duanbu Xianbei

As the man's voice fell, the person who reported the news retreated, and then there were waves of footsteps outside the house, and then there were powerful people stepping into the house one by one.

These people all had a rebellious look. They looked around, found a chair and sat down without looking outside at all.

The man at the head had a resolute face with sharp edges. As soon as he came in, he smiled and said: "General Wang, I heard that you have been promoted again. What kind of great commander you have become? You are in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. You are so majestic when you hear it!"

"It's just a false name. How can the imperial court be willing to give me the power of the world's soldiers and horses?" The man sitting in the room stood up and greeted the visitors, "Ji Lujuan, you should inform me in advance when you are coming this time. It’s better to be prepared, wouldn’t it be rude to be in such a hurry and not provide good hospitality?”

"Why bother?" The angular man was called "Ji Lu Juan". He was not a name from the Central Plains, but from Xianbei. He was born in Duan Xianbei, and his full name was Duan Ji Lu Juan. When he was invited to sit down, he was not polite. As soon as he sat down, he said this, "We came here this time to ask on behalf of the Great Chanyu, when will the title you promised be conferred? You are also the Great Sima. It’s not a big problem with the imperial court’s advice, right?”

"Ji Lujuan, you are still so quick to talk." This man is called General Wang, and he is naturally the governor of Liangzhou in Youzhou and Pingzhou, and Wang Jun, who has power in the north. "Actually, there are some problems. If this issue is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will not be achieved for the time being.”

"What? General, do you want to change your mind?" The Jilu family seemed to have no scruples at all, and looked like they were talking quickly. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "General, this is what you agreed to earlier, and now you are looking for something else." It’s a bit unreasonable to say, isn’t it?”

Wang Jun laughed, shook his head and said, "Ji Lu Juan, don't misunderstand, it's not what you think, it's just a little troublesome, it will take a while, don't think too much, the name of the Great Chanyu, I asked your father to come last year, let alone the title of Duke of Liaoxi?"

"Oh?" Duan Ji and Lu Juan narrowed their eyes and asked, "What is going on? I hope the general can explain it clearly so that I can give a reply to the Great Chanyu when I go back."

"This matter is very simple." Wang Jun waved his hand and asked the servant to serve tea first, took a sip, and then continued: "You also know that I expelled the prefects of the two counties and replaced them with my own people. Among them is Liaoxi County, in order to make room for the great Chanyu, so that he can naturally obtain the title of Liaoxi Duke."

"Yes," Duan Ji and Lu Juan nodded, "At that time, General, you promised with a pat on your chest that a title was not a big deal. My father is now a great chanyu, and he is actually quite satisfied. The title was just to rectify his name. It is also to let other tribes know that we are the Xianbei orthodox who have truly learned the methods of the Central Plains. We will not occupy the Liaoxi County. We will still give it to you, the general, to command. My father is also the city. In this way, We are waiting for the name, and the general is legitimately in control of Liaoxi County. We have the best of both worlds. Why has something changed now?"

"Don't be anxious!" Wang Jun still smiled and shook his head, "Look, why are you anxious again? I expelled him because I really wanted the Great Chanyu to get a title. After all, I know in my heart the great Chanyu's loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Yes, you also know how much our Duanbu Xianbei has done for the Han Dynasty over the years, fighting in the north and south, and we don’t know how much blood has been shed!"

His words, word by word, seemed sonorous and powerful, making Duan Ji and Lu Juan nod slightly.

But then, Wang Jun changed the subject: "But it's not enough for me to know. Some people in the court are deceived by others. They always have to be wary of the Great Chanyu. Even if I write letters one after another, it is useless, so That's why such a thing happened. I had just expelled the county guard and wanted to run the business for a while, so I found a reason to give the Great Chanyu the title of Duke of Liaoxi. However, they sent someone else here. No chance to breathe."

"Is this really the case?" Duan Ji and Lu Juan had a look of hesitation and doubt on their faces.

"Of course it is," Wang Jun nodded and smiled, "Have I ever deceived you? When I destroyed Guangning City before, didn't I let you go? You probably don't know that there are two prefects appointed by the imperial court this time. In addition to the county guard in western Liaoning, Guangning County also sent someone here. As you know, if the court knows about the situation in Guangning, it will be difficult for me to explain it, but I am The border generals cannot openly oppose the imperial court's appointment, so they can only take out Daijun and install the Guangning prefect."

"Let the prefect of Guangning go to Daijun?" Duan Ji and Lu Jue frowned, "Is this really true?"

"Why should I lie to you? Besides, I can't lie to you. After a while, if you send someone to find out, you will naturally know the truth." Wang Jun shook his head and sighed, "If the incident in Guangning County is exposed, Not only will I be censured by the court, I am afraid that you Duanbu Xianbei will also be punished. By then, it will be even harder to get the title of Duke of Liaoxi. For this reason, I must hide it. As you know, I have been operating in Daijun for a long time. , made a lot of arrangements, preparing to turn it into a key place to contain the Xiongnu and Tuoba Xianbei. Now we have no choice but to use it to house the county guards sent by the court. This is also a last resort. Wade is to protect Duan Bu. Xianbei.”

Duan Ji and Lu Jian didn't believe these words at all. He knew very well that Wang Jun didn't pay much attention to Daijun. He only regarded it as a barrier to his own territory. The slight investment in the past was just to prevent the Huns from extending their tentacles. Forget it, now in order to prove his intentions, he deliberately exaggerated the importance of Kodai County.

But Duan Ji and Lu Juan did not say anything about this, and just said: "When will this matter be implemented? Nowadays, several Xianbei tribes are quite restless, and Murong Xianbei is becoming more and more unsettled. We really cannot let it go. My father predicts that it will soon happen." We are about to have a battle with Murong. If we don't get the title of Duke of Liaoxi before then, how can we be justified?" "Don't worry, I won't delay your affairs." Wang Jun smiled again, "I hope you too Being able to legitimately annex the Murong tribe and the expansion of the Duan tribe also represents the expansion of my strength. In recent times, Goguryeo has been very dishonest, but only if your Duan tribe becomes stronger can I have the confidence. So, I We are both prosperous and devastated, so how can we not try our best to help Shanyu win the title?"

His words finally made Duan Ji and Lu Juan put aside their worries. The atmosphere of the conversation relaxed for a while, and then they talked about some trivial matters.

But as he was talking, Duan Ji Lujuan asked tentatively: "I don't know who are the two sheriffs sent by the imperial court this time? Don't be another difficult task, don't be that Xuantu again." The prefect of the county, Deng Fei, is just like him. He refuses to take soft and hard advice, which makes people hate him!"

As soon as he mentioned the name "Deng Fei", Wang Jun's face suddenly darkened.

However, Wang Jun then laughed and said, "Let's not talk about this person. I'm in a bad mood for no reason. The two people sent by the imperial court this time, Liaoxi County were transferred from Jiangzuo. They are children of aristocratic families, so they have some reputations." , but he didn't make much achievements in the past, so he is easy to deal with. I just expelled the original county guard under the pretext of military and government affairs. As for the other person, he is an acquaintance of yours."

"An acquaintance?" Duan Ji and Lu Juan raised their eyebrows, "Have I seen him before? Could it be that he is one of your subordinates, the general?"

Wang Jun shook his head and said: "No, this person is not my subordinate, and you have never met him, but you must know his name. Not long ago, didn't you come over with his article and ask me if I could send it to you? Has this person been recruited?"

"Mr. Rumeng? Chen Zhi?" Duan Ji and his family looked surprised, and then looked happy, "Is it him who will be the prefect of Daijun? This is really good news. In this way, our clan can also be close to you." He asked for advice!”

This was completely a subconscious expression of true feelings, but seeing Wang Jun's brows furrowed, he had to remind him aloud: "If Chen Zhi is still in Luoyang as Secretary Supervisor, holding the noble position of a scholar, then you can't ask him for advice. What, the two sides are not involved in any dispute, but now Chen Zhi is ordered to go north to serve as the prefect of a place. He has his own position. If you go to ask him for advice, you should also be careful about what he does to make use of this matter, and if he knows about it, It’s really hard to predict what Duan Xianbei’s attitude will be towards the Guangning County matter.”

When Duan Ji and Lu Juan heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and then they laughed again: "In this case, I should visit as soon as possible, so as to leave a good relationship. If there is friendship between us, I believe Mr. Meng Don't make it difficult for me to wait." In his words, he clearly revealed that he wanted to make friends.

Wang Jun was unhappy when he heard this, but he still nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but you have to be careful and don't be reckless. Why don't you let me make arrangements."

"Then General Lao, I'll wait for the good news." Duan Ji and his family members nodded, and then Wang Jun sent someone to arrange for him to go down to rest.

As soon as the Xianbei people left, Wang Jun took a look at the earliest piece of information that was sent, called for someone to come over, and said calmly: "There is no need to let Chen Zhi and the others come to Yancheng. Let them go directly to Daijun."

"This..." The man hesitated for a moment, but still reminded: "Chen Zhi and the others are about to arrive here, logically, he should be asked to meet the general first, and give him a warning before letting him go. work."

"There is no need for this," Wang Jun waved his hand, "This is a trivial matter. How long Chen Zhi can stay in Dai County depends on whether he knows how to advance or retreat. If he is willing to surrender, then it will be easy. If he is not willing, it will be easy to meet him this time. There’s no point in getting up.”

The man was still trying to persuade him: "But after all, he has some background and has achieved success in Luoyang..."

Wang Jun was no longer patient. He glanced at the other party coldly and said: "What achievements he has made in the past are all highly praised by literati and scholars. They are based on retreat and are separated from the earth under his feet. When he arrives at Daijun , Only when I truly understand that politics is not easy can I talk things through with him. Otherwise, if this celebrity gets angry and talks about benevolence, righteousness, and morality to me, it will be too boring. Go ahead and explain it clearly to him. .”

　Due to unexpected events, it was too late to change this one, so I will post it first.
