Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 604: One step, ten observations, and a second move
"If it were Wang Quan himself, he would not dare to act rashly, and there is no need for him to take this risk. But if there is Wang Jun's order, the situation will be different." Su Liao pondered for a moment and gave the answer. a conclusion.

But Chen Zi beside him immediately shook his head and said: "This is unlikely. Wang Jun secretly encouraged all parties to trigger Murong's siege this time. He wanted to go all out and become the well-deserved overlord of the Northland and the grassland, but he fell short. Now there are rumors from all sides that Murong can win and has a close relationship with you, the prefect..." As he said this, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhi, trying to find some clues from his face.

The eyes of other people also focused on Chen Zhi's face intentionally or unintentionally. Without exception, they all had the same thoughts as Chen Zi. They were also very concerned about the rumor.

Chen Zhi shook his head and said in one stroke: "If it were Wang Jun, he would not have issued such an order. Therefore, even the attack on Dai County relied on the Xianbei people in order to shirk responsibility afterwards. If the matter of Wang Quan is involved, even Wang Jun will inevitably be affected, and even if he can get rid of it afterwards, it will take a lot of effort."

Su Liao said: "That's exactly the case. Therefore, my subordinates feel that this must be some deviation between Wang Quan and Wang Jun, which may be exploited."

Chen Zhi nodded, then smiled and said: "But if you want to take advantage, you still have to block Duan Xianbei's men. Only in this way can we shake people's hearts and make people feel that they have a choice. Otherwise, everything will be in vain." .”

Chen Zi and Su Liao looked at each other and saw a trace of sadness on each other's faces. Then Chen Zi came forward and said: "This is exactly what we are worried about. Although the prefect has sent people out to ask for help, Duan Bu After all, Xianbei has a large number of people and is proficient in bow and horse. There is also no shortage of brave and skilled warriors. Compared with this, most of the soldiers we have available can only be said to be new soldiers. Once faced with the fierce offensive of the enemy, When the situation is at a disadvantage, our shortcomings may be exposed, so the key now is to focus on ourselves, otherwise a charge will be broken by others, and no strategy will be used."

"I know what you mean," Chen Zhi nodded, "To be honest, I organized and trained the new army to resist the small tribes that may come, and to prepare for the scattered troops who had to flee due to the Xianbei Civil War. prepared, but what comes now is a battle-tested army with unified political orders and proficient bows and horses. It is indeed not easy to deal with. Although thanks to this, the originally expected small tribes are almost extinct. As you know, wherever Duan Wenyang passed along the way, he collected all the scattered tribesmen, which also allowed us to bear less impact."

"Looking at it now, I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." Chen Zi and Su Liao looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Su Liao then said: "If a small force comes over and attacks continuously, and our troops block it, there will inevitably be losses. However, we can also train the troops to wear away the timidity of the recruits. Then we can deal with the large army. Otherwise, it will be a small victory." The Bo Zhen Department will soon face the overlord-level Duan Department, and even if they practice well, Wu Ding may not be able to understand this in his mind for a while."

Chen Zi also said: "In the neighboring counties, there are reports of a small group of barbarians invading the bandits, but our Dai County is the only one where the situation is calm, and things are going wrong, which is even more worrying."

According to Chen Zhi's original prediction, after the siege of Murong Jicheng ended, there would be a small wave of impact, causing many small tribes and tribes on the grassland to flee in all directions, thus impacting the border counties, and Dai County would be no exception. , and planned to use this to train troops. As a result, due to Duan Wenyang's movements, Daijun was relatively calm. However, those present knew very well that this so-called calm was actually the false calm before the storm.

"Therefore, these martial arts must undergo certain changes," Chen Zhi said bluntly. Facing his confidantes, he didn't need to deliberately maintain the illusion of victory to stabilize people's hearts. The necessary openness and sincerity were also essential. "I didn't expect this situation in advance. A dominant tribe far away near the northeast border gave up more important strategic goals and led the army directly. Therefore, new preparations must be made."

Hearing what Chen Zhi said, Chen Zi and Su Liao certainly felt trusted, and at the same time they also raised their hearts, because in his impression, in the past, Chen Zhi always prepared things in advance and took one step at a time. , look at ten steps, there is no end to the backhand, no matter how much the enemy attacks, there will be a steady stream of cards to take out to resist.

This time, even Chen Zhi didn't predict it in advance?
How to deal with it?

However, while they were worried, they were also shuddered, realizing that as staff, they were a little too dependent on their master. If things continued like this, wouldn't they be derelict in their duties?Think about it carefully, isn't this the right time to show my ability?

Just when the two of them were racking their brains to give a suggestion, Chen Zhi said first: "Fortunately, I have some extra preparations. I plan to use them to deal with Wang Jun after blocking this round of impact. Although the preparations for our offensive are not yet complete, at least it has a prototype, so let’s give Duan Wenyang a taste of it.”

When Chen Zi and Su Liao heard this, they couldn't help but froze, and then they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While they were thankful in their hearts, they also secretly blamed themselves. They were also very surprised, because they didn't expect that Chen Zhi had actually imagined that he and Wang Jun We have the means to deal with the opposite, and we are even more prepared.

But when I think about it carefully, I think it makes sense, because before that, in order to deal with the war, they went too far in many things. After the situation subsides, Wang Jun will definitely come to question the crime, and Su Liao, Chen Zi and others will also I have been reminded many times that instead of waiting for something to happen and then figuring out how to deal with it, it is better to prepare in advance.

After thinking about it, they asked about specific things.

But before the two of them spoke, Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Don't ask questions yet. We have to deal with the situation. I will definitely explain the key to this clearly to you. But even I don't know what stage of preparations we have reached. I have to understand it before discussing it with you..."

Having said this, he summoned Chen Ju and said, "Go and invite Taoist Ge, Mr. Ma, and Gongshuhua. I want to ask about something."

"promise!"

Chen Ju turned around and left without saying a word, while Chen Zi, Su Liao, Yang Yuan and others looked at each other and left.

After a cup of tea, several people whose names were announced arrived one after another and ate cakes in the side room while waiting. After greeting each other, there was not much communication.

Soon, a handyman came over and informed Chen Zhi of his order, asking Ge Lu to go in first for an interview.

"Several, Pindao goes first." Ge Lu got up, greeted Ma Shou and the others, and then walked out.
