Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 585 Did Mr. Bao ask for mercy today?

Just when the situation in Murongji City suddenly changed and the entire situation changed dramatically, far to the south of the city, in a dense jungle, an army was slowly advancing.

This army has a large number of people, with cavalry in front, infantry in the middle, and carts of food, grass and baggage at the end. At a glance, through the layers of woods, you can't even see the end!

As we walked, the messenger at the front suddenly raised the flag, and at intervals from behind, someone followed suit. When they saw the flag, the cavalry, reinforcements, and the last baggage soldiers all stopped one after another. He stopped walking, panting heavily, sat down on the spot, and rested.

In the middle of this group of soldiers and horses, a simple shed was quickly erected. The top was covered with coarse cloth, and the seats were visited below. Wang Jun sat on one of the chairs and looked at the people standing there. Duan Ji Lu Juan in front of him nodded slightly and said: "Since we have already agreed, Ji Lu Juan, you don't have to worry about me breaking my promise. When we get to the place, I will have people deliver the food and grass to you."

Duan Ji and his wife also nodded and said: "No one on the grassland does not believe the general's promise, so I will take the first step and wait for him in Jicheng City. This time, I must completely destroy Murong's tribe!"

After saying that, he cupped his hands, turned around and walked away in a cool and simple manner.

Looking at his back, even Wang Jun had to praise him: "Duan Ji Lu Juanguo is an outstanding person. In the future, he will be in charge of Duanbu Xianbei, so he should be able to make a difference!"

Wang Gan, who was standing next to Wang Jun, smiled and said: "After this battle, both Duan Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and many other small tribes will all gather under your command, the general. No matter what happens to this Jilu family, It’s awesome, and he also charged for the general.”

Wang Jun raised the corner of his mouth, showed a smile, then restrained it, and said: "We can't take it lightly. There are many strange and weird places in this siege. Although my original intention was to let Murong Xianbei help consume Duan Bu and Yu Wen Bu. , but I didn’t expect that it would last for so many days, so that the subsequent means prepared for Duan Bu and Yu Wenbu were temporarily unavailable, and they had already suffered a lot, and even food and grass had to come to me for support.”

Wang hurriedly said: "From this, it seems that what Ji Lujuan said may be true. Someone else really intervened in this matter."

"You want to say Chen Zhi, right?" Wang Jun smiled and shook his head, "Does this count as his intervention? You must have believed Duan Ji and Lu Juan's words. Although I don't know why he wanted to Mentioning Chen Zhi, I want to meet Chen Zhi, but the so-called Chen family's plan to fight fiercely in Jicheng is completely nonsense. If Chen Zhi really has such ability, how can I tolerate him? He won't even go to Xianbei After surrendering, the first thing to do is to suppress Chen Zhi first, and if he cannot be subdued, then drive him out."

This is true, but when Wang Jun said this, he always had a smile on his lips, showing that he was simply teasing.

But while he was talking, he thought of something again and asked, "Did that man named Bao say anything today? Did he beg for mercy?"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Qian's expression changed, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's still those words, God has its own will, it doesn't change according to people, it's mostly the words of having no king and no father!"

Wang Jun also showed a wry smile and said: "I never thought that this person could be so good at deceiving people. Ordinary soldiers would be confused by what he said after guarding them for a long time. After returning, he would still spread his tricks, forcing them to The soldiers had to be held in solitary confinement and subjected to repeated indoctrination before they could get better."

The person the two mentioned was of course Bao Jingyan, who was imprisoned by Wang Jun as Chen Zhi's envoy.

Wang Jun imprisoned Bao Jingyan, not out of anger, but because he had his own considerations, so he deliberately humiliated him. First, let him be among the firewood. In the past few days, he was marching with the baggage and soldiers. take into custody.

But here's the problem. This Bao Jingyan is a famous person. In Wang Jun's opinion, famous people are those scholars who are very famous and elegant. They can't carry it on their shoulders or carry it in their hands. That is to say, they are more talkative and useless. .

But after he imprisoned this Bao Jingyan, he realized that these celebrities were really not easy to mess with, because this Bao Jingyan liked to talk about his theory very much, and he had no airs, and he would not let go even the soldiers guarding him. , this man didn't run away or make trouble, no matter who he was chatting with, this chat happened to involve his stuff, and he came up with endless explanations, and actually persuaded the soldiers guarding him one after another, and he became a vague student generally.

"This man has to watch, but he must also watch to prevent the soldiers from being persuaded by him." Thinking of Bao Jingyan, Wang Jun now had a headache, "But every time two people are sent out, they will soon be persuaded by him. , faster than the attrition in war, if it doesn’t work, we have to use some powerful means against him.”

After the king heard this, he advised: "Bao Jingyan is still a famous scholar after all. How can he be treated like this? The general locked him up, which is already a bit taboo. This is because he is Chen Zhi's envoy and he has disrespectful remarks. If If we cause trouble again, it will be useless to our reputation if word spreads about it."

"I know this, I just couldn't help but say a few words, but having said that, when this man talked to me, he was not polite at all, and I don't know how he got his name. He said it respectfully... ..." He was still talking here when suddenly there was a noise outside. Wang Jun stopped his thoughts and looked over, and saw that Duan Ji and Lu Juan, who had just left gracefully, were back again and were walking eagerly. , looked anxious, and the previous free and easy manner was gone.

Wang Jun looked strange. This man came and went one after another, without even having time for half a cup of tea. How could he be like this?

It happened that at this time, a person came over from behind the simple shed, but it was Wang Gan's men. This person came to Wang Gan and whispered in his ear. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Gan's expression suddenly changed!
This detail also fell into Wang Jun's eyes, and he immediately knew that something had happened on the front line.

Sure enough, as soon as Duan Ji and his family members arrived, they urgently requested: "General, please let your troops march quickly and go to Thorny City to besiege them as soon as possible, otherwise things will change!"

"What's going on!" Wang Jun showed his commander-in-chief's demeanor at this time and asked calmly, "Duan Ji and Lu Juan, don't tell me yet, let Wang come and explain."

Wang hurriedly took two steps forward and gave way to the person who had just whispered to him to come forward and explain.

"I've met the general!" The man had experienced battles more than once and was not frightened. He explained the matter simply.

"Last night, Murong Xingji, someone pretended to be your personal soldier, the general, and entered Thorny City, which aroused suspicion in all parties. Then this group of people went there with cattle, sheep, jewelry, grain, grass and other items in your name. At the camp of the Yuwen Department, Yuwen's begging turtle didn't know it was a scam, so he actually accepted it. Duan Wenyang of the Duan Department got another letter, which said that Yuwen and Murong were secretly planning and colluding. This incident angered Duan Wenyang, and both parties They confronted each other in front of the Yuwen camp and broke up unhappy."

Hearing Duan Wenyang's name, Duan Ji's family next to them couldn't help but clenched their fists and rattled their teeth.

Wang Jun suddenly heard this and realized that something was wrong. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "What is the situation outside Jicheng City now?"

The man hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Qian, and after seeing the descendant nod, he said softly: "This morning, the Goguryeo suddenly left without warning, led his troops away, and directly withdrew the siege. There was no Murong people in the city. After the pursuit, at noon, Duan Xianbei also left under the leadership of Duan Wenyang. Now only Yuwenbu's soldiers and horses and General Wang Chang's vanguard army are still besieging the city! General Wang specially sent people to ask how to deal with the current situation. situation!"

"How to deal with the current situation?" Wang Jun suddenly laughed, but there was anger in his smile. He waited for Duan Ji Lu Juan and asked: "Duan Ji Lu Juan, can you explain why there is no Ben?" Did you, Duan Xianbei, withdraw your troops without permission under the general’s order?”

This time, hearing the chill in those words, Duan Ji and Lu Juan didn't dare to make any more mistakes, but lowered his voice and said, "I don't know the details, but you know it too. , I, Duanbu, will do my best, running around here and there, spending money, food, and manpower to besiege Jicheng City, otherwise I wouldn’t be here..."

"Needless to say, it seems that I am forcing you all," Wang Jun narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, "What are your intentions? You don't need to act here. You should go back immediately and let Duan Wenyang bring the soldiers and horses back to surround you. , I don’t need to say much else.”

Duan Ji Lu's family members also became angry, and couldn't help but said: "Don't the general have selfish intentions? Otherwise, your tens of thousands of troops should have been outside Thorn City long ago. If you didn't keep it for us, general The minds that consume each other are now sitting outside the city, commanding and dispatching, where is the chance for Murong to use his tricks? How can anyone fall into the trap? "

"Oh? Are you blaming this general for this?" Wang Jun narrowed his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, staring at Duan Ji Lujuan, and sneered.

When Wang Jun saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh, and thought to himself, no matter who planned this, they have indeed found the context. Just by looking at the conversation between Wang Jun and Duan Ji Lujuan, you can tell that no matter how harmonious they are on the surface, The contradiction behind the scenes cannot be eliminated unless one party is completely weak. This is also one of the reasons why Wang Jun promoted the Xianbei Civil War, in order to completely control the situation!
Suddenly, Wang Jun said again: "Okay, it's too late to talk about this. You can take control of Duanbu's troops first!"

Duan Ji Lujuan glanced at Wang Jun coldly, said no more, just nodded, and then turned around and left. This time he was just as crisp and clear, but looking at his retreating back, Wang Jun could only sneer.

Wang Ganze reminded from the side: "If Duan Xianbei's soldiers and horses go back, the food and grass that should be given must still be given, otherwise it will not last long. As for Goguryeo..."

Wang Jun said bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to call Goguryeo back. They were a little reluctant to send troops this time, but they actually tripped me up at this critical moment. I will have to settle this debt sooner or later!"
