Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 555: 15 troops siege the city

When the news that the city was besieged by Xianbei spread like a prairie fire, it quickly spread throughout Dai County. People were suddenly panicked. From north to south, the entire Dai County seemed to be frightened.

The merchant convoys that originally traveled through Dai County also rapidly decreased.

However, the news about Daijun was not paid much attention to by anyone in Youzhou or even Xinhan. Apart from family members and friends who were acquainted with Chen Zhi, not many people discussed it.

Because, there is a bigger news that has reached everyone’s ears——

At the end of August in the first year of Pingxing of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei in Liaodong was in chaos. Yuwen, Duan, and Goguryeo all raised their troops together, and a hundred thousand troops besieged Murong Xianbei's Dajicheng!
In early September, the governors of Youzhou and Pingzhou, Da Sima, and Prince Boling sent out troops with [-] troops. In the name of Murong's rebellion against Gangchang and the destruction of Guangning, they joined the battle and besieged Jicheng!

For a while, Murong Xianbei's territory collapsed, the capital of the country was besieged, and it was difficult for soldiers and horses to go out.

"15 troops besieged the city, what can be done? Murong is dead!"

Memorials like snowflakes poured in, went straight to the court, and were sent to Guanzhong to be seen by the emperor.

Of course, it was actually shown to the King of Guanghan.

After Guanghan King Liu Chu got the news, he rushed back to Guanzhong from Hanzhong temporarily. After reading the memorial, he summoned his staff and assistant officials and asked them for their opinions. An official made this judgment immediately.

"Oh? If Murong dies, a large area of ​​Northeast China will fall into chaos again. Maybe Wang Jun will open up another state. Could it be that he will also take over the land of three states? In this way, above the imperial court, he It’s truly a sight to behold.”

As soon as Liu Chu's words came out, the people below figured out what it meant, and they all understood what the de facto regent was thinking, and they obviously became jealous and wary of Wang Jun.

However, the current situation is different.

Zhao Qi, the Minister of the Five Soldiers who entered Guanzhong, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Great Sima sent troops, and the divisions are famous. It is for the imperial court's plan. It is difficult to suppress them. Besides, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. Otherwise, let's push the boat with the flow and let him." However, he had previously recommended the leader of Duan Xianbei to win the title of Duke of Liaodong, but for some reason he was unable to do so, so why not take advantage of his military exploits and reward Yuwen Xianbei as well this time to show his loyalty."

When others heard it for the first time, they were still a little puzzled, how could it be possible to get Liaodong Gong's award so well?In the end, it fell on Yuwen's head. But after thinking about it again, they all understood and couldn't help but nod, knowing that it was a plan to provoke divisions.

To put it bluntly, the title of Duke of Liaodong was originally proposed by Wang Jun in order to control the Northeast, but was not allowed. Now he took it out and gave it to the Ministry of Yuwen.

Yuwenbu is located to the east of Duanbu Xianbei, and its own strength is not as good as Duanbu's, but if it wins this title, or if there are some variables in this battle to destroy Murong, conflicts will eventually arise.

What's more, the reputation that was originally valued by Duan Xianbei fell on Yuwen inexplicably. Even if he knew that it was the court's calculation, there was no way to defend against such a conspiracy, and discord was almost inevitable.

Of course Liu Chu understood the reason and nodded, but did not express his position.

Liu Shi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came forward again and said: "The current turmoil in Liaodong is not a trivial matter. I hope that the emperor and the prince can return the capital to the east and sit in the Central Plains to subdue all parties."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chu frowned, then he pondered, and finally said: "The rebellion in Shuzhong has not been quelled, and there is also a hidden danger of Qiang and Di in Hanzhong, which has not been completely quelled. If we go back at this time, all our efforts will inevitably be wasted."

Everyone listened and had some concerns in their hearts. They knew that the key reason why the King of Guanghan did not hesitate to personally conquer Hanzhong, and even risked losing the emperor's control to keep Liu Dai in Guanzhong was because of the Shuzhong rebellion. My favorite son got involved——

The eldest son of King Guanghan was originally stationed in Chengdu, but now Chengdu was captured by Li Xiong who rebelled again. Unfortunately, the eldest son of the king also became a target.

Because of this, the furious King Guanghan moved directly from Luoyang, the eastern capital, to this place. In fact, this behavior destroyed his situation of sitting in the center and coercing the emperor to control the world.

Fortunately, things went smoothly afterwards. Except for the rebellion in Shu that did not subside but became more and more violent, the government had not been completely derailed. This was mainly because the people he promoted were indeed somewhat capable, especially the Shangshu Ling. Zhang Ying made a considerable contribution.

Unexpectedly, the situation in Shu has not calmed down yet, and there is movement in the Northeast again. He is in a dilemma for a while, but Liu Chu also knows very well that what really restricts him from leaving Shu is actually personal emotions——

Facts have proved that even if he, the regent and emperor, comes in person, there is no way to change the situation of the war, and staying here may not be of much help.

There were also people below who understood this truth and knew that King Guanghan needed a step down, so one person said: "The situation in Shu cannot be decided in one day, but the affairs of the country and the dynasty are indispensable. King Guanghan, you should give priority to the Han Dynasty. Sitting in the eastern capital, you can decide the affairs in the northeast in the north and hear the chaos in Shu in the west. This is where the center is." The person who spoke was the censor Yu Liang, who had attracted much attention from Liu Chu recently.

As soon as he opened his mouth, others also commented, and they all talked about King Guanghan, who was indispensable to the state affairs, and never mentioned the unlucky prince.

Amid such a commotion, Liu Chu made the decision to return to Luoyang and asked someone to inform Emperor Liu Dai.

At this time, Liu Dai was talking with a businessman from the Western Regions.

"According to what you said, there is a vast land outside the Western Region. So the Kushan and Sasan are as vast as my Han Dynasty?" The Human Emperor asked with curiosity on his face at this time, While looking over and over a picture in front of me.

Opposite him, stood a strangely dressed man. His skin was slightly dark, he had a hooked nose and a thick beard. His body was wrapped in clothes that resembled a cloak. When he heard this, he put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "Reporting back to His Majesty, the great and supreme emperor, in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, Kushan is only a small country, and it is divided into three parts. However, the Sassanid Dynasty is extremely powerful. Even if it is not as great as the glorious Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not give in too much." There was an exotic flavor in his accent.

"Interesting, interesting." Liu Dai laughed when he heard this and pointed to the drawing in front of him, "There is no Sassanid mark on your map."

The man replied respectfully: "This map was drawn by the Shule people in the Western Region. It is not perfect. My Majesty, if you want a more detailed map, I will bring it to you, but it will take some time." .”

"There is no need for this," His Majesty the Human Emperor shook his head and smiled: "Just go to Dai County in the North, just say that I asked you to go, and then go to If you talk to Chen Qing carefully again, he will definitely be happy. He will also take the Kun map with him..." He pointed to the map in front of him, "In the past, when he was in Luoyang, he often talked with I talked about this matter, and I have to open his eyes this time."

The man was quite surprised when he heard this and couldn't help asking: "My lord, where is the Northland? Where is Daijun? Why do you want me to go there? I came here this time with a great Respect, I want to go to the legendary great Luoyang where the ground is paved with gold bricks..."

"Don't worry. If you go to the North, you will be able to come to Luoyang soon. Moreover, you will be accompanied by several other merchants from the west, the Western Regions, and even the Western Tailand. You are not alone, and I will come to Luoyang as soon as possible. Recall Chen Qing back..."

While they were still talking, a eunuch suddenly came over to inform the emperor of King Guanghan's decision.

After Liu Dai heard this, he felt slightly unhappy.

"Why are you leaving so soon? When I first came here, it was the emperor who asked me to come. He also said that he wanted me to live a good life here and see more of foreign people. How long has passed, he is leaving again. Just come and leave as soon as you say it.”

Listening to the emperor's complaints, and it was about the regent King Guanghan, the eunuchs around him did not dare to say anything. Even the foreign businessmen who had spoken to the emperor before showed surprise. Only Mo Anjie walked forward two days ago. He stepped forward and came to Liu Dai and said: "Your Majesty, the actions of the King of Guanghan are all out of public motives and for the sake of the country, the country, and the country. You should also put the country and the country first, and you should not speak like this."

Liu Dai just nodded after hearing this, and then casually asked about the reason. The eunuch who reported the news talked about the four families besieging Murong.

"Is something wrong in Youzhou?" Liu Dai was very surprised, and then asked: "Is there something wrong in that generation county? Is Chen Qing safe?"

"Your Majesty!" Mo Anjie couldn't help but remind him to stand up, "The key at the moment is the war in the Northeast. This matter is related to the safety of the Han Dynasty's border areas. How can we take it lightly? What you should be concerned about should be Murong's matter!"

Liu Dai heard the advice, even though he was still unhappy, he had to nod his head and asked the messenger to go back and inform Liu Chu: "Tell the emperor brother that I know about it and let him make arrangements and return to Luoyang as soon as possible." Bar."

When they were about to leave, the emperor couldn't help but add another sentence, saying: "Also, let me ask someone to find out whether the situation in Dai County is stable. Has Chen Qing been affected? If anything happens, he will be announced to the capital immediately. Just say that I want to see him."

"Your Majesty," Mo Anjie said helplessly, "Chen Zhi is now the governor of a place, how can he leave his post without permission?"

"I know it," Liu Dai said with a sly look, "That's why I announced his arrival, not asked him to resign. If the Northland is stable, there is no need to come over. If it is not stable, let him stay in the capital until it is stable. That's it. As a result, we neither need to be put in danger nor have to worry about being held responsible later, so isn’t it a double benefit?”

Others could do nothing about such private messages, and then the entire temporary court took action to prepare for its return. At the same time, letters were sent from Guanzhong to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to all over the world.

The Northland tycoon Wang Jun also got a letter. After he opened it, he stood aside and sneered: "What time has it been? I don't have time to care about Chen Zhi's safety." After saying this, he turned to the people around him. One of the staff members said: "Ask me Wang Quan and ask him to tell me clearly about Dai Jun's situation and his plans."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the tent. Outside were countless tents, rolling up and down until a few miles away. Further away, there was a majestic city.
