Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 596: Hu Ma surrounds the envoy
"Have you discovered that Duan's troops are approaching in large numbers?" In the middle of the city, in the general's mansion, Wang Quan looked very ugly after receiving the spies' report, "The Duan's troops are not besieging the city outside Jicheng, why are they here? Listen? The report said that the leader leading the soldiers and horses is not an ordinary person, maybe he is a noble from that tribe, why did he come with so many people?"

Naturally, no one can answer this answer for Wang Quan, because the military information about Jicheng is now considered a military secret, and apart from the express letter sent to Wang Jun, only one copy was sent to Jixian for preservation. Wang Quan simply Not being in the decision-making circle, if it weren't for Daijun Chen Zhi and the traces of the Xiongnu, I'm afraid he could only stay in a corner, training troops and farming with peace of mind.

If there is no result, then considering the worst outcome, Wang Quan must also prepare in advance to prevent being caught off guard by Duanbu Xianbei—even if he knows that Duanbu belongs to the general Wang Jun and drives him, but Hu People's habits cannot be controlled by commands, and Wang Quan understands it deeply and has almost experienced it personally——

Wang Quan's garrison actually involved two counties. This generation county was just one of them. The other one was Shanggu County. Not long ago, Shanggu County had just experienced a catastrophe caused by barbarians. The entire county, Several counties were almost completely ruined and the people were displaced. Anything of value would become the target and prey of the Xianbei people.

At that time, Wang Jun was personally leading the army, but now without Wang Jun's restraint, no one knew what this Xianbei man could do.

Seeing Wang Quan's solemn look, an aide came out to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, general. Maybe this section of the army is here just to carry out the general's order and sweep away the small tribes that have escaped. From this aspect, , the situation in Thorn City is just right!"

Wang Quan's heart moved and he asked, "How do you say this?"

The man replied: "Recently, many spies have reported that there are many small groups of people scattered on the grassland. This means that there should be results on the side of Thorn City. The four-party coalition led by the general has absolutely no reason to lose, and The appearance of the Duan tribe is further evidence that the siege has been decided, and the general has been able to send troops to attack the scattered small tribes."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said: "Besides, the general sent troops this time with the intention of weakening the Xianbei tribe. This idea of ​​sending Duan tribe to pursue them is also in line with this idea."

When Wang Quan heard this, he felt calm and the solemnity on his face dissipated. He smiled and praised: "Sir, you are a great talent. What you said is so clear-cut that it suddenly dawned on you." But as he said that, his face turned pale again. There has been a change, "But there is still something to worry about. Didn't the envoys sent by Chen Zhi two days ago go to contact the Tuoba tribe? If they encounter the Duan tribe, wouldn't it be another trouble?"

He paced back and forth, caught in a dilemma, as if he was wondering whether to send someone to recover the two envoys.

When the aide saw it, he said: "Then Chen Zhi's envoy, what is there to worry about? The general withstood the situation in Xianbei and returned with a great victory. He will definitely be unstoppable. Chen Zhi cannot stop it, so why worry about his envoy?" "

Wang Quan shook his head and said: "The great general has won a great victory. Chen Zhi has nothing to say about it. However, the two envoys he sent have their origins. They are from the rich families in the north. If something happens, I will be involved. After all, It’s not a good thing. Forget it, I’d better send someone over to report it. It’s best to bring the person back. After all, I have to leave an explanation so that I can tell the difference in the future.”

………………

"This time I left Daijun and entered the grassland, and I realized that the world is vast, and I don't know what the destination of this trip will be like." Sitting on the horse, Shujiao and Zhang Kang were talking, Surrounding the horses the two of them were riding were many servants and guards on horseback.

There were several carriages following behind, one of which was for the two of them, but when they got out of the grassland, they got into the mood, so they simply walked out and rode on the horse.

The two of them were in front, whispering.

"I really didn't expect that you and I thought that Governor Chen was in trouble and had the intention of leaving. However, there was a sudden turn of events. A siege battle changed the situation. Now there is news from home that the Huns have left Daijun. , we can stay here for the time being." Shujiao said this.

Zhang Kang said: "We can't continue to wait in vain. This mission is dangerous, but it can be accomplished, and we can establish contact with the outside of the Great Wall. It is also an opportunity for us to temporarily get rid of the vortex of Daijun. We can wait and see what happens outside. If Governor Chen is really capable, so when we meet again, we can help him with all his strength." Shujiao also nodded and followed the painting style: "Tuoba Xianbei is now a powerful force in the north, and has many influences in the grassland. No one would have thought that the other Xianbei tribe would be like this today, and that it would even become a branch capable of controlling the situation."

While the two were talking, someone came over to report that traces of the Tuoba tribe had been found not far away.

While talking, there was the sound of horseshoes in front of them, but it was a group of fierce cavalry. They obviously saw the convoy of Shu Jiao and Zhang Kang from a distance, and then they came straight over, howling at the same time, that's all Attack directly.

"No, it's the soldiers of the barbarians!"

Suddenly, the ground shook, and when Shu Jiao and Zhang Kang just looked up, this group of cavalry was still on the horizon in the distance. In the blink of an eye, they actually arrived, leading many cavalry to spin around the convoy. .

"Sorry!"

The horses in the cavalcade could have been said to be strong and strong, but surrounded by so many people and so many riders, they couldn't help being agitated. They were all restless, and some of them neighed even more. The ground shook.

"Stop! Stop!"

The leader of the team, a tall rider, was holding on to the reins with all his strength, and at the same time, he was trying hard to turn his head back, so that the team members behind him could stabilize their mounts and the horses pulling the carriage, and two or three servants risked being trampled by the horses. In danger, he ran all the way to Zhang Kang and Shujiao, pulling the reins desperately to help the two scribes control the horses.

"Yes, you guys must protect these two gentlemen and don't let them get hurt!" When the leader saw this, he couldn't help but nodded and shouted, and then asked the surrounding barbarian cavalry: "Which side are you on?" People, we are on an envoy to the Tuoba tribe this time..."

He was ordered to protect a few people on an envoy, but he knew very well that many tribes on the grassland sometimes didn't care about their identities and backgrounds in the Central Plains. But when they encountered those Hu cavalry that came and went like the wind, the other party didn't care at all. Asking where the person came from, snatching it away, and maybe giving him a few knives as a bonus, there was really no way to deal with it even if he died, so of course he had to make his purpose clear first.

"Are you looking for Tuoba tribe?"

The group of barbarians were screaming strangely, but after hearing this, they became a little quieter. One of them jumped out of the horse and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for to see the Tuoba tribe?" This man had a turban on his head and had a bold demeanor. leader.

At this time, Zhang Kang, who was still in shock, said: "This can only be told by someone who has met Tuoba."

But the man in the turban smiled and said: "I know that you are the people sent by Chen Zhi. I advise you to go back. My name is Tuoba Wei, and I am from the Tuoba tribe. I am here today to send you two back." , my Shanyu said that we will wait until after the battle of Thorn City before saying anything else!"
