Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 545 Xianbei has not yet been seen, but the Huns have arrived?
Time passed, and two more days passed in the blink of an eye. The vanguard of the Ministry of Yuwen had already arrived at the outskirts of Da Jicheng. However, they did not rush in, but stationed themselves there. Then they sent an envoy to Murong Jicheng, saying that To negotiate.

War clouds finally enveloped this land, and a storm was coming.

"Gentlemen, I don't know if you have noticed recently that there have been a lot more Huma outside the city recently, and the military camps outside the city have become more and more strict. Moreover, the aristocratic families in the city have not come to visit much recently. They occasionally meet each other. When the last two or two people talk about the scenery outside the Great Wall, they often remain evasive and unclear in their words."

In the exquisite tavern Accord, Luo Yang, the successor of Luo Hou, was pouring wine for a few friends around him while talking, and raised his glass after speaking.

Everyone moved in unison, and then drank it all.

Someone wiped his mouth and tasted the taste: "The taste of this generation of county wine is really getting better and better, and the taste is mellow. I heard that it is produced by the Tangjia Winery in the city, but the recipe is obtained from Mr. Chen Yes, my husband sent someone over to give special advice. As a result, the taste of this wine is getting better and better day by day."

"That's right. It's only been a few days and it already tastes like this. If I go back south from now on, I won't be able to drink this wine. It will be a big pity."

Someone joked: "Then you can stay and drink every day."

"Although the drinks are good, Dai County is not a place to stay for a long time. If I didn't have to wait for the book of Tongdian, I would have left long ago."

"Mr. Chen is very capable. We came here because of Tongdian, but we saw more of his abilities. We originally thought that the rumors were false and the Buddha's comments may have been exaggerated. But now that we have come to Daijun and met with Mr. Chen His ability in people's livelihood, his method of leading aristocratic families, and even the "Qi Min Fang Pian" circulated outside the city, seem to be very extraordinary. It's hard not to accept it. In fact, from this aspect, staying in Dai County is a little bit... Harvested."

Everyone said to each other that these people are all Luo Yang's friends. In addition to Zhang Jingsheng and Wang Kuai, his friends who came with him, there are several other people who are all friends and come here because of their reputation.

There were about seven or eight of these people. In fact, there were also people who came not from Luoyang but from other parts of the empire. Among them were old friends who had not seen Zhang Jingsheng and others for a long time. They communicated with each other through letters, but they did not expect that, We will meet again here, and it will be a gathering of old friends, and we can drink and sing together again.

For this reason, although the environment in Daijun was not as good as that in the hinterland of the Central Plains, being with their friends still made them feel happy, and they were not in a hurry to rush Chen Zhi. Staying in Daijun was quite stable.

However, news kept coming from their family, describing clues about the border and telling them to pay attention to their safety.

"Guys, although the drinks are good, it's not serious business. But what Brother Luo said is quite worthy of attention." Wang quickly put down his wine glass, first looked around at everyone, then looked at Luo Yang, nodded and said: "Brother Luo, you are right. , and I also received a letter from home, saying that the possibility of war in northern Xinjiang is getting higher and higher, so when we see that the situation is not right, we should leave quickly. After all, our lives are still at stake, but in the end we still have to add In one sentence, it is better to get a comprehensive book than to leave empty-handed."

As soon as these words came out, others started talking and sighing one after another.

"My family also mentioned it, but my father's intention is very clear. It's okay to come back, and it's best to get a copy of the Tongdian..."

"This is normal. After all, we all have competitors in the family. We came out this time to show off our abilities. If we just fled back as soon as we heard about the war, we might not worry about our lives, but we would inevitably be beaten. People take it as a stain and criticize it later.”

"Not only that, you in my family also know that I have some relationship with the general in Youzhou. There is relatively more information. I will give you the bottom line here. This battle is probably going to be fought, and it has happened recently. A few months! Unfortunately, I can’t leave yet. The current situation is actually a mutual constraint. It’s hard for anyone to retreat. I left. As a result, the battle didn’t start, or it took a few months or half a year to wait. , what about that, have you ever thought about it? That is, I come here with great fanfare and return empty-handed, while others go back with a volume or even several volumes of Tongdian. Then how can I still mix in the family? That old man in my family, It’s not like I’m the only son, I’m not the legitimate son yet.”

"Yeah, that's actually the problem. If you leave and others don't leave, how will you tell the difference then? Another question is, when will this battle be fought? After all, it can't break out suddenly, and besides, there is news on my side. He said, this war is probably a civil strife among the Hu people. It will not affect the Central Plains. It is outside the Great Wall. If you talk about the chaos outside the Great Wall, we will run back in a hurry. Not to mention what the opponents in the family think, I am afraid that even others will hear it. , all have to give a bad reputation."

They are all so close that they recently moved into a separate house and lived together, so they didn't have much scruples when speaking. After complaining, they really expressed their feelings.

They were sent to the Northland to obtain the Tongue, which represented their status and had a say in the family. However, not many of them were actually identified as the heirs of the family, and they had to go through some competition to stand out.

In fact, their move to the north this time was originally part of the family competition. Some people even went through some intrigues within the family in order to get this spot. In such a situation, how could they escape as soon as they got the news? go?

"Gentlemen, how is the situation? I won't say much, but how many general articles have you got these days? The articles that have been circulated this time are said to include two agricultural treatises, two Mohist treatises, and two military treatises. I have collected the Mohist treatises here, as well as a treatise on war and a treatise on agriculture. If you are interested, why not also give me some information? Let’s see if we can gather together the few articles that have been circulated. It’s all together, so even if something unexpected happens and we leave early, we won’t go home empty-handed, and we’ll have something to say when we get home.”

After hearing what he said, the others looked at each other, pondered for a moment, then nodded, and then reported their situation.

It turned out that Chen Zhi did not immediately take out other volumes of Tongdian after the arrival of these Luoyang people, and he did not have time to write other volumes. After all, he had a lot of things to deal with now, but in order to appease this group of people, he still found time to write a few articles. article.This article is actually an article or a chapter in the Tongdian book. It often takes a dozen or even more chapters to compile into one volume.

Over a period of time, Chen Zhi wrote six articles, each involving three companies, which were the six articles mentioned by Zhang Jingsheng.

The article is written on new white paper, but it is not released for free. It naturally has to be purchased.

There are not many visitors who come from afar who are short of money, and the purchase is not ambiguous. However, Chen Zhi does not give it all at once. Some people can buy an article about military strategy, while others can only buy it. Buy a farm article.

After this development, the articles in the hands of many visitors were different, so they tried to exchange and collect them in private.

But this involves another problem, that is, these visitors also have a competitive relationship. If they get it, they don't want others to get it, so it's another round of negotiations and intrigue.

Perhaps looking at all this from the perspective of an outsider, I feel that it is boring to make a fuss out of a molehill.

But for these children of the gentry, this is part of their lives. Otherwise, their lives would be too boring and worthless. Because of this, this era has produced so many bold and uninhibited people. .

Here, after a short period of hesitation, several people finally decided to follow Zhang Jingsheng's suggestion and take out all their gains. The reason is simple, not just because of their friendship, but also because of Zhang Jingsheng's dedication. Can be regarded as the largest.

Because of this, Zhang Jingsheng naturally gained the dominant position and decided when to implement the matter there - of course they would not choose to do it in this tavern, and besides, they did not bring those articles with them. .

However, they were still discussing here when suddenly there were rapid footsteps coming from the stairwell of the restaurant, attracting everyone's attention. They had become regular customers of this restaurant in the past few days, and they had been there earlier. It was an agreement with the shopkeeper that no one else was allowed to disturb this private room, so if he suddenly made such a noise, something must have happened.

Sure enough, following the sound, everyone quickly discovered familiar faces - they were many of their guards and servants.

At this time, the faces of these servants were all anxious.

"what happened?"

Zhang Jingsheng and others knew that something was unusual as soon as they looked at their expressions, but their long-term self-discipline allowed them to remain calm and asked questions seemingly calmly.

"Gentleman, the Grand Administrator of Daijun, Chen, suddenly summoned Wu Ding and said that there would be a martial arts performance this afternoon. The location was changed from the open space outside Chenzhuang to the north of the city. At the same time, it was also A message came, saying that I don’t need to go to watch the ceremony, and now go back to the city and stay behind closed doors to prevent accidents.”

"what?"

Zhang Jingsheng really didn't expect such news, and it was so sudden, which was against common sense.

"Could it be..."

Thinking of the topic that everyone had just discussed, a guess rose in their hearts, which for a moment actually made them feel at a loss.

"No way. Could it be that the Hu people's civil war has already started? But the Hu people's civil war is in the grasslands and outside the Great Wall. I heard that there are many Xianbei people in the northeast, so they can't threaten here." Luo Yang's expression It's very unsightly. Their family's position as Luohou was obtained through military exploits back then, but by his generation, it had been a long time since they had been in battle and they didn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, a guard who came to report took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "I heard that signs of the Huns were found outside the city."

　Thanks to "Changing Heart Song" for the [-] reward, are you... really a powerful person?
