Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 547 Watching and practicing troops, Wu Ding intimidates Daijun’s home
"The possibility of Daijun being attacked by this tribe going south is very high!"

In the spacious meeting hall, everyone was standing around a huge sand table. Chen Zhi was one of them, but the one who was speaking at this time was not him, but his clan brother Chen Zi.

Chen Zi pointed to the rolling mountains and a barren land and expressed his opinions and speculations.

"Since this tribe was repelled by Murong's tribe, it means that they have not been destroyed yet. According to Zhongyuan's thinking, if the advance troops and horses encounter disadvantages, even if they do not retreat immediately, they will find a way to get in touch with the follow-up troops. , but the grassland tribes are different, because a soldier and horse may represent a clan for a long time, and it is often not a direct lineage. Therefore, after the soldiers and horses of this weak Zhen clan suffered a great defeat and lost their troops and generals, in addition to the Murong clan, his enemies Plus the Yuwen clan behind me.”

As he spoke, Chen Zi's finger fell on a place in the mountain volume, and said: "Of course, maybe the Yuwen Department may not necessarily do that, but the war has come, and they must ensure their strength as much as possible, and The leader of the Bo Zhen tribe may not dare to bet that he will be safe when he returns, so he chose to escape! And he escaped to the Central Plains side."

"I know that," Yang Song was also standing beside him, grinning, "Isn't it just the sacrificial flag? It doesn't matter whether it's on the grassland or outside the pass. When those barbarians sent troops, the first battle wasn't smooth enough. He will kill the generals of the defeated army and pass them on to the three armies as a warning, so that people can fight to the death! This leader of the Bo Zhen clan obviously understands this truth, so he simply ran away with his people, what a coward. "

As he was talking, he suddenly noticed a short figure next to him who hesitated to speak, and couldn't help laughing: "Hongwu, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask, didn't the eunuch tell you when he asked you to come over?" , Ask whatever you think of, and I will answer everything.”

"Hongwu" is the name of Ran Zhan. This young warrior was actually present. After listening to Yang Song's words, he looked at the others and finally asked the question in his mind: "According to your statement, Isn't it a taboo for military strategists to kill a general before a battle? Logically speaking, it should be a sign of a decline in morale. After all, who would dare to go to war?"

"This means that the customs are different," Yang Yuan, Yang Song's younger brother, took over the topic and continued, "They have different ideas from us. They are often afraid of power and not moral. Many shanyus of the grassland tribes have not yet, They all relied on bloody methods, and some even brought soldiers and horses to kill their fathers directly with the sound of arrows. But as long as the means were sufficient, they could stand firm. Now that the Yu Wen Department wanted to attack Murong, of course they had to show off. You must show your own cruelty, otherwise others may not obey him. In short, you cannot use our courtesy to think of this grassland tribe."

Ran Zhan frowned and nodded, half understanding.

"Let's take a look at the movements of the Bo Zhen Department first," Chen Zhi pulled everyone's thoughts back, "Let's talk briefly, it's time to go over and order the troops. Today's martial arts performance is also a business, we are going to talk about the method of battle formation. This is indispensable. A professor on the spot may not be very useful, but it is better than them not knowing anything at all."

Everyone also knew this truth, so Chen Zi continued: "Since the leader of the soldiers and horses has not returned to Yuwen, he has other thoughts. At present, the area to the north and east is almost covered by war clouds, and Murong is besieged. Yuwen and Duanbu are the besiegers, and even Wang Jun of Youzhou has to participate. Since he has prepared Yuwen, he will definitely not stay here anymore, so he will most likely go west to join other troops. With the size of the Bo Zhen Department, they probably won’t choose small clans, so there aren’t many that can catch their eye, and among them three are the most likely.”

Su Liao looked at the sand table and kept thinking silently. Then he asked: "The imperial court, the Xiongnu and Tuoba Xianbei?"

"That's right, but the imperial court probably won't choose. You all know why." Chen Zi looked at a few people and smiled slightly, "The possibility of the Xiongnu is not high. After all, they are not of the same mind as Xianbei, so the possibility of Tuoba Xianbei is The biggest, we must be prepared. Before Xianbei wants to take refuge, he must want to thank more chips. It is best to strengthen himself, so that when he takes refuge, he can also get more say, so he will probably rob a group of people in the border counties. fan."

"Then why do you think our Daijun will become his target?" Chen Zhi asked.

"This is because he doesn't have much choice," Chen Zi was prepared, pointing to several places on the sand table, and replied calmly, "Youzhou is a land with several Xianbei troops to the west, and it is Wang Jun's base camp. He didn't dare to take action at all, so the area east of Yan County would not be listed as his target. Yan County itself also had many soldiers and generals, and was heavily guarded by Wang Jun. It was also located in the middle of a state and was close to the surrounding troops. , if something unexpected happens and attacks come from all directions, they will not be able to escape!"

The crowd nodded.

Chen Zi added: "Now you all know what happened in Guangning County. It has gone through a lot of looting and there is not much oil and water there. It will inevitably be used by Wang Jun to make a fuss in the future and it will become a sensitive place. That place But the Bo Zhen Ministry may not be interested in it, so they chose Daijun as the most suitable one. It was far away from Wang Jun's core area, and there was still some oil and water. Moreover, there was a disturbance from the Huns not long ago, especially now that they have discovered it again. Even if the Huns scouts and cavalry are investigated afterwards, they can still be blamed on the Huns, and..."

He glanced at Chen Zhi and continued: "No matter how close Tuoba Xianbei is to you, the eunuch, he may not give up on this deplorable minister who came to his door."

"Qiao Xing, with your analysis, it can be said that you have predicted the enemy ahead of others. You have analyzed the situation so clearly. I think [-]% of it is correct." Chen Zhi nodded, and then took a step forward. Walking out of the hall, "In this case, we need to speed up the arrangement. After all, no matter what, our current situation can only be defensive, not offensive. Therefore, this defensive matter must be arranged in advance and allocate Wu Ding." , settled well."

Everyone listened and followed suit.As soon as they walked out of the hall, the group headed straight to the north of the city. As soon as they left the city gate, before they had gone far, they could hear bursts of shouts, and along with the sound of many shoes and boots stepping on them, the ground shook slightly. shock.

After walking a few more steps, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a heat wave. There was an open space, and there were people lined up in it, some standing in line, some standing still, slogans rising and falling.

Looking from a distance, one can see a high platform rising in the center of the crowd. There are already many people standing on it, most of them are familiar faces. If they are not the children of several famous families in this generation county, who are they?

In addition, there were several visitors from Luoyang, including Lu Jian of the Lu family, who was sitting on the banquet, waving his fan, looking at the many Wu Dings in the audience with interest, his eyes wandering, Finally it fell on Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi turned around and asked, "Have you told these families about the discovery of the Huns?"

Su Liao said: "They have so many pairs of eyes, they have been staring at it. Even if we don't send people over, we can't hide the news from people at all. They have come here to inquire."

"That's good, it saves me the trouble of calling them over." Chen Zhi smiled when he heard this, "These days, whether it's food, clothes, or even the boots on Wu Ding's feet, I have to spend money to buy them. The money I brought was not enough for a long time. Qiao Xing brought so many things from the south, but they were all on credit and relied on family help. However, this is not a long-term solution. I am confident that I can pay back the money in the future, but at the moment But it’s hard to hold on anymore, and it’s time for these families to come up with something more.”

Su Liao also laughed and nodded: "That's right. Let them take it out bit by bit. In fact, it will let them slowly tie their interests to you, the prefect. It will be difficult to break away from them in the future. However, the enemy is now, and they No choice.”

"But don't go too far," Chen Zhi knew very well. Once the pressure was too much, there might be people who rebelled. It wouldn't be a surprise to join a foreign race. "Just let them complicate the logistics. I heard that the Wang family, Liu family, are they stockpiling grain in the city? They are reluctant to sell it. This is not okay. If they are allowed to do this, the price of grain will skyrocket and the people in the city will be unstable. This matter must be stopped. I just take this opportunity to talk to them."

As they talked, Chen Zhi and the others walked through the crowd and walked toward the high platform.

Wu Ding, who was walking along the way, saw them, but he still didn't look away, but his eyes were moving with Chen Zhi's figure.

Tang Dian, Tang Zi and others on the high platform noticed this detail and couldn't help but look at each other. They were all very surprised. Of course they knew what the situation was like when Wu Ding was sent from their family, but now they only looked at it. Performance, there are already signs of prohibition.

"These servants seem to be quite impressive." Wang Huo also noticed the strangeness and chatted with Zhu Xian beside him, "I originally thought that there would be martial arts performances in a few days, which would be a bit too whimsical, but as soon as it came Here, I found something different.”

Zhu Xian also said: "Yes, I also thought that when I arrived, I would see the Wu Ding scattered and unruly, but I didn't expect that each of them could not only follow the line, but also follow the orders and prohibitions. Look at them standing there, standing upright. The sun is shining brightly, but no one is complaining or tired, and they are still motionless. The elite soldiers of the imperial court are nothing more than that, right?"

At this time, a voice came from the side——

"These are just methods of standing in formation. Elite soldiers are invincible. The two cannot be confused." The speaker was Gu En, a member of the Jiangnan family. When he saw everyone looking at him, he smiled and said, "But , in a short period of time, the scattered servants can be trained to this extent. If you give Governor Chen some time, maybe you can really produce a good army, at least it looks absolutely good."

While he was talking, Chen Zhi and his party had already walked over, and everyone on the high platform stepped forward to greet them. However, Ran Zhan, who was walking behind Chen Zhi, did not look good-looking. His eyes were a little hostile and he stared at them. Looking at Gu En.

Gu En did not lower his voice, and his words reached the ears of Chen Zhi and others.
