Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 589 The murderous tiger begins to grow

"Jizhou! This way, it will be clear at a glance."

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Shi Le grinned.

At this time, the powerful general of the Huns was standing in a rather spacious room. Judging from the overturned and broken tables and chairs in the corner, it seemed that it was originally a hall used to entertain guests, but now the things inside But almost everything was cleared away, leaving a sand table in the middle.

The sand table in front of him was not the kind used for marching and fighting. It was not specific to a certain piece of land, but was broader, with the general scene of half of the north marked on it.

"Mengsun, you combined this map with the sand table to construct this community map, it is really a shrewd move! Looking at it this way, the world is clear at a glance!"

He stood on the edge, looking left and right, as if he couldn't put it down.

This is no wonder, because although the sand table map is still very rough, there are mountains and rivers on it, and the ground is undulating, and there are also small white stones, which circle the areas of Youzhou and Jizhou, and use larger stones to enclose the areas of Youzhou and Jizhou. Embedded in it, it refers to the cities, and several flags are inserted inside. The chess pieces are no more than the size of a palm, with individual words written on them, such as "king", "duan", "yu", "mu", "Chen" et al.

Beside him, Mr. Zhang said with a hint of regret: "General, that's ridiculous. I just remembered a rough idea. There are actually deviations and errors in many places on this map. That's all I can do." It’s hard to be perfect.” While speaking, he was still carefully looking at the shape of the sand table, and stretched out his hand to move a stone representing the city.

Shi Le beside him said nonchalantly: "What's the matter with this problem? Mengsun, you are just too careful!"

Meng Sun is the nickname of Mr. Zhang, his name is Zhang Bin, and he is now Shi Le's mastermind.

After listening to Shi Le's words, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "When marching and attacking, there is no room for negligence. Maybe a mistake I made on this map will be a huge omission on the battlefield, and it will be taken advantage of by the enemy. Then It’s a disaster.”

Shi Le said carelessly: "What you said makes sense, but with the few manpower we have now, it is simply unrealistic to figure out the situation in the entire Hebei area. It's enough to have a rough idea. I want to come over there. No one will take advantage of this oversight."

Zhang Bin just shook his head when he heard this.

At this time, a person suddenly walked in from outside the door. This person was tall, with a sturdy back and fair skin. After walking in, he stood still and was a head taller than Zhang Bin. However, this person had the look of a young man on his face. Childishness, but against the backdrop of those rather ferocious eyebrows, this childishness is a little less obvious.

After he stood still, he glanced at Zhang Bin contemptuously, and then said to Shi Le: "Uncle, all the old and young in this city are gathered together. Please tell me how to deal with it!"

Zhang Bin, who was standing next to him, glanced at the scabbard beside the man and found that there was still blood on it that had not yet dried up, and he couldn't help but frown.

Only then did Shi Le look away from the sand table, looked at the people who were watching, nodded and said: "I will make a selection later and select those who are strong and strong and add them to the army. The women will organize it and let the brothers Let's be happy, they have suffered a lot these days, it's time to feel comfortable."

That young man is Shi Le's nephew, his name is Shi Hu. He is not yet twenty, but he is already taller than an adult. He usually fights bravely and has rescued Shi Le twice in danger, so he is deeply loved by Shi Le. And trust, now Shi Le entrusts him to deal with many things.

After listening to Shi Le's words, Shi Hu showed a smile, stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and asked: "What about the old man and the child? We don't need the old man, and the child should be taken away by rights, but we have been on the march recently. , it’s not good to carry these burdens, why not... kill them all! It’s also good for the brothers to practice their hands!"

Hearing this, Zhang Bin shook his head, stepped forward and said, "You can't do that, major general, these old people and children will not have any influence if they stay. If there are no new recruits, why bother to use swords?"

"Why is there no impact?" Shi Hu raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "These people will be a disaster if they stay. When the children grow up in the future, they will be the enemies of us Jie people. There are so many Han people, but we Jie people are not like them. In comparison, they are alone and alone. If they are left alone, they will be enemies in the future. If they grow into one person and kill one of my Jie people, that is the result of our benevolence as a woman today, which is harming the tribe!"

Zhang Bin frowned when he heard this, and felt even dumbfounded. He looked at this half-grown young man carefully, as if he had met him for the first time.

Shi Hu didn't care what Zhang Bin thought of him, but continued to Shi Le: "As for those old people, we can't keep them. None of them have good intentions. As soon as we leave, they will definitely leak our whereabouts to others. At that time, it will be easier for the Han soldiers and horses to pursue me and others, so they cannot stay!"

"What do you mean..." Shi Le narrowed his eyes and asked calmly. "kill!"

Shi Hu gritted his teeth and smiled. After spitting out such a word, he continued: "Even if you kill the wrong one, it is better than keeping it alive!"

"No!" Zhang Bin shook his head and said calmly: "Young General's statement is totally ridiculous!"

"What absurdity?" Shi Hu gave Zhang Bin a hard look, he had long since disliked this Han man, "I haven't studied, just like my uncle, I can still understand you if you put up a map. It’s totally unnecessary to say something that’s not there.”

"Since you haven't read a book, you have to listen to what others say, otherwise how can you know right from wrong?" Zhang Bin said lightly, and then said to Shi Le: "General, our whereabouts are not secret at all, Ruan Bao The soldiers and horses have already arrived outside Shanggu County and will arrive soon. We invaded Shanggu and occupied this city. We looted it for two days, which is enough. With such a big movement, why do we need those old people to come? Tell the truth?"

Shi Le nodded, but Shi Hu said: "Even so, what about those children? Isn't it a disaster to keep them?"

Zhang Bin did not look at Shi Hu and said to Shi Le: "The general is not plundering Shanggu County this time to become a rogue. After going up to the valley, he will go south, pass Fanyang, and after some supplements, he will go straight to the land of Jizhou! Then occupy the side of Jingxing. In this way, it will still have contact with the Xiongnu Kingdom and can get support, but it will be free from it and will not be swayed by others! Jizhou has already suffered from natural disasters, and some time ago there was another The great disaster is now in chaos, and the officials sent by the Han court to provide relief are unable to guard, so this is an opportunity to take advantage of."

Jizhou is in the south of Youzhou, separated from the grassland by a state, and separated by a mountain range from Bingzhou. For the New Han Dynasty, it was considered a borderland. In fact, it was not far from the hinterland. However, due to natural and man-made disasters, today But they were in a relatively chaotic situation, which was exactly what Shi Le did.

His plan with the scribe Zhang Bin was to cross Youzhou and go directly to Jizhou in Hebei.

This choice seems risky, because Youzhou is a frontier, surrounded by tribes. Whether it is attacking or leaving, it is very flexible, and there are places to go, but if you arrive in Jizhou, the situation is different.

It is like jumping out of the complicated situation on the frontier all of a sudden, without having to consider the trends of the entire grassland, and opening up a completely new situation.

Of course, there is also a risk in this, that is, it will be closer to the core of the New Han Dynasty, which will inevitably stimulate the New Han Dynasty even more.

However, due to the chaos in Jizhou itself, the importance of this place to the New Han Dynasty was relatively reduced. Secondly, due to the special nature of Shi Le's identity, even if he escaped from the chaos in the north, he still had the title of general of the Xiongnu Kingdom. , you can pull off the tiger skin, which adds an extra layer of amulet. When the critical moment comes, you can throw the Huns as a shield.

In addition, those risks must be solved by Shi Le and others. After all, it has never been possible without any risks and without experiencing any setbacks.

Zhang Bin took advantage of the situation and said: "This opportunity depends not only on your personal ability, general, but also on the overall situation. When we enter Jizhou, we are not going to plunder, but to establish a foothold, so we must have a reputation. Killing prisoners is not a good reputation. If you kill all the old and young, who will dare to defect? ​​The young general said it well. There are not many members of the general's clan. In this case, it is even more important to recruit Chinese people to make up for the shortfall. , if we blindly rely only on our clansmen, the vast Jizhou will only have a foothold, and there will be no development. Sooner or later, it will be the result of another escape! The general left from the north of Jizhou in the first place, doesn't he have some idea in his heart? "

These words mentioned Shi Le's pain points again, which made him look a little unhappy, but he had to nod his head and said: "That's right. I didn't think this through clearly. Let's just let the old people and children go first, and wait until the brothers feel comfortable. After that, we will go straight on the road, try not to meet Ruan Bao's people, let's go directly to Fanyang County!"

"That's right," Zhang Bin nodded happily when he saw Shi Le listening to the advice, "Wang Jun's army is heading north and Youzhou is empty. It's a good time to plunder. Ruan Bao and Wang Chang are two generals under Wang Jun. They fight, and winning may not necessarily result in gains. Instead, they will lose men. Losing is useless and time-consuming. Let’s leave as soon as possible. Fanyang County was once the fiefdom of King Yan, and it has a profound history. After King Yan died, this place once became The center of Youzhou is very prosperous. I originally suggested that you, general, enter the upper valley first, just to lure the remaining soldiers of Youzhou there, create a void, and then go south to Yancheng, all at once!"

Shi Le clapped his hands and said, "They would never have thought that my purpose is not to return to the grasslands after looting, but to go south to Jizhou! This plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain is truly brilliant!"

………………

At the same time, in the meeting hall of Daijun, Chen Zhi met Su Liao, who had just returned. He called Chen Zi again, pointed to a sand table and said: "Wang Jun brought the Huns here to let them fight for Daijun." The county increased the pressure and developed to this point. They probably thought that the Huns were going to plunder and leave, but I think they are not planning to return north, maybe going south! By then, Wang Jun will lose points in the court. "

　　I'm going out of town tomorrow for about a week, so I'll try my best to keep updating.
