Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 598: Urgent invitation for help

Chen Zhi's reputation is actually very high in the Central Plains region, but it is not his reputation in officialdom or his political achievements that spreads his reputation, but his reputation as a celebrity continues to spread.

This reputation as a celebrity includes not only some anecdotes of his past, but also many incidents during his study tours, but more importantly, it is his reputation for his works.

From the original "Shi Shuo", "Six Kingdoms Theory", to the recent "Tongdian of Various Treatises", Chen Zhi's reputation has been continuously promoted, and it has spread rapidly among scholars, scholars, and gentry. Spreading from north to south.

However, these reputations are of little help to him in the officialdom, and even less to his reputation on the grassland. Hu people will not fear him just because of his exquisite writings, at most those who are more Sinicized in the tribe Deep nobles showed respect to him.

But this kind of respect, at this juncture, could not make Tuobawei back down. He even subtly forced Shujiao and Zhang Kang to drive their convoy back, but the many guards in that convoy could only be Dare to be angry but dare not speak out, because they do not have an advantage in the right time, place, and people.

Zhang Kang and Shujiao, two sons of aristocratic families, felt sincerely humiliated at this moment. Zhang Kang's body was trembling with anger, but he also understood that the situation was stronger than the person, so he just remembered this humiliation in his heart. In my heart, I had no intention of breaking out.

However, the expressions of the two people were very helpful to Na Tuoba Wei. Although the Tuoba clan was canonized by the imperial court and regarded themselves as vassals and subordinates, they also knew that facing the Xiongnu, when the two sides joined forces, there was no one in this clan. He was not willing to be a thug of the court, and there were many people who did not like the style of the New Han Dynasty. Tuoba Wei belonged to the latter group. He felt very sad when he saw two scholars from so-called aristocratic families crumbling in front of him. It's refreshing.

"Okay, you two, let's go." After watching for a while, he also knew that enough was enough, so he urged the people and horses to escort Zhang Kang and others' convoy back, but at this moment, a horse suddenly came galloping from a distance. .

When the many barbarian cavalry saw the approaching person, they gave way one after another, allowing the person to arrive in front of Tuobawei.

"Tuoba Jiao, what are you doing here?" Tuoba Wei showed a hint of doubt when he saw the person coming, "At this time, shouldn't you be in front of Shan Yu's tent and obeying orders?"

This person is tall and tall, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Tuoba Wei. Zhang Kang and others also understood after hearing this. Knowing that this is also a member of the Tuoba tribe, they couldn't help but pay attention.

Then I heard this person say: "Brother Ninth, the Great Chanyu asked me to come here to prevent you from driving these two gentlemen away. He brought an order to ask you to take them back. The Great Chanyu wants to Meet them personally in the big tent."

"What?" Tuoba Wei was stunned for a moment and looked at Tuoba Jiao with great confusion, "Where do you start talking about this? I came here under orders, but you also followed orders, but the two orders are contradictory. This Is it my order that’s false, or yours that’s wrong?”

Tuoba Jiao didn't say anything, took out a horn-shaped object from his arms and threw it over.

After Tuobawei received it, he took a closer look, and then his expression changed drastically. He looked at Tuobajiao with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Zhang Kang and Shujiao.

The two envoys from Daijun were shocked after hearing what Tuoba Jiao said. They were also confused about the situation. However, this change was undoubtedly beneficial to them and others, so they remained silent. Listening, I want to wait and see what happens.

"I don't understand." Tuoba Wei put aside his worries and looked directly at Tuoba Jiao, "Why is there such a big change? Could it be that..." As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression changed again.At the same time, Zhang Kang and Zhang Kang also changed their expressions when they recalled what Tuoba Wei had just said.

"Could it be that the battle situation in Thorn City has changed?" Tuoba Wei didn't hesitate, and directly asked the guess.

Tuobajiao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhang Kang and Shujiao, but finally nodded and said: "Yes, the siege of Jicheng has been solved. Goguryeo left, Duan's tribe withdrew, and Yuwen's tribe was defeated, and Yuwen was begging to be confused." trace!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy grassland seemed to quiet down in an instant. Everyone had incredible expressions on their faces, and then Tuoba Wei shook his head and said: "This is impossible, how could such a result be possible? ?This can’t happen at all!”

Tuoba Jiao did not refute it immediately, but sighed and said: "Are you the only one who can't believe it? Even when we heard the news, we didn't believe it. We thought it was Murong's tribe who was spreading suspicion, so we immediately sent people to Seeking verification, the person who asked for verification has not yet reported back, but just looking at some rumors from various parties, they all point to Murong Dasheng, so these two gentlemen should be invited back and given courtesy."

"I see!"

Although Zhang Kang and Shu Jiao had expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces, they were also shocked by the news, but they also saw a hint of joy and expectation in each other's eyes.

Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on this expectation. The siege of Murong's tribe has been lifted, and the situation in the entire northern Xinjiang will change drastically. Even though it cannot change the situation where Wang Jun's family is dominant, it is no longer the situation in the past where the Wang family dominated the sky with one hand.

Moreover, according to Tuoba Wei, the escape of Chen Zhi and Murong's tribe is obviously related to the constant cutting and chaos. If Murong's tribe is defeated, then this connection will be a reminder, and Zhang Kang and Shujiao will naturally not say anything. , turned around and left the organization, and had to draw a clear line with Chen Zhi. At the critical moment, he even had to bite back to prove his innocence.

On the other hand, if Murong wins a big victory, then this connection will be serious. Even if we do not consider the favors owed by Murong's department, just this reputation of strategizing and defeating the strong with the weak is worthy of a man who turns his hand for Yun and his hand. According to Yu's evaluation, Chen Zhi will have a real reputation for evil on the grassland by then. If nothing else, it will be much easier for people from the descendants of the county to deal with people from the grassland.

"With this incident, although the Tuoba Department can't figure out the situation, they still prefer to believe what they have, and they don't have much law, so they don't have many rules, so they say it in front of us. Come out, this way, the trump card is revealed first, and it will be more difficult to turn around, so I just want to take advantage of the situation and explain it."

Here, before Zhang Kang and Shu Jiao could say anything, Tuoba Jiao said: "Tuoba Wei, you don't have to be confused. Just invite people over first. If something happens, there will be someone to take care of you. "

When Tuoba Wei heard this, his brows almost knitted together, but he still nodded. Then with a wave of his hand, the horses changed lanes, surrounded Zhang Kang and his convoy, and drove towards the depths of the grassland.

Zhang Kang and Shu Jiao looked at each other, still muttering in their hearts, what happened to the battle of Thorn City, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you go here, you can live up to your trust, and you can also help the family contact Tuoba Xianbei."
