Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 693 Together
"Who is the leader? Where is he?"

Chen Zhi nodded towards Ruan Qing, and then asked the person who sent the message.

"The leader is General Tuoba Yulu of the Tuoba tribe. Now the envoy has crossed the Sanggan River and will arrive at Daijun today." After finishing this sentence, the messenger added, "Shujiao, Zhang The two gentlemen Kang also followed them back."

Ruan Qing's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

"Oh? The two gentlemen are finally back," Chen Zhi couldn't help laughing. "After Mr. Bao returned, I often thought about when Shu and Zhang would return. If I hadn't known that the two gentlemen were in the Tuoba tribe, Since I was treated as an honored guest, I’m afraid I’ll have to take someone over to invite him back.”

Having said this, he said to the person who reported the news: "First arrange the people, and I will arrange the reception ceremony."

"promise!"

When the man retreated, Ruan Qing said immediately: "Congratulations to the prefect, now the Murong tribe and the Duan tribe have sent people here, followed closely by the Xiongnu and Yuwen tribes, and now even people from the Tuoba tribe have come. Now, several big tribes outside the grassland wall and outside the Northeast Pass are almost gathered together. Such a scene is enough to show that the prefect has spread his name to the north!"

"Without two battles, this reputation cannot be spread. Therefore, the key is to stabilize our Dai County, and your Dai Bei is even more critical. It is the first battle to deal with the grassland! We must cooperate with the villagers and grow stronger as soon as possible. OK."

Chen Zhi first reassured and then said: "As for the things needed to build the city, I will instruct the people here to prepare them for you as soon as possible, but it will take time. You have to understand this, but I think in a short time , there won’t be any trouble in the north.”

Ruan Qing stopped fighting for Li Mu, and just nodded, and then mentioned: "The prefect once said that the Tuoba tribe and you have an agreement of tens of thousands of people to send over some Central Plains people trapped in the grassland. There are already 3000 People are waiting outside..."

"I know what you want to say," Chen Zhi laughed when he heard the words, "Don't worry, since I mentioned before that most of these people will be placed in Daibei, I won't break my promise, but you also have to Just be prepared to receive it.”

When Ruan Qing heard this, he felt relieved and immediately said with a smile: "My subordinates believe in the prefect, but it is really difficult to make preparations for Daibei. Let's not talk about the city walls, let's talk about the ordinary houses. , houses, the preparations are not sufficient. The first batch of more than 3000 people may be able to bear it, but if there are more, it will be difficult.”

"You don't have to worry about that," Chen Zhi shook his head lightly, "Although the Tuoba Department agreed with me to tens of thousands of people, the first batch of 3000 people should be about the same. In a long time, there is no need to look forward to it." They can still fulfill their obligations."

"Why is this?" Ruan Qing immediately expressed confusion, "Didn't it mean that the prefect had made an agreement with the people of his Tuoba tribe? It is said that the time has been set. With the prefect's current reputation and power, they dare not Comply?”

"I am not weak now. If I send another population over, what will happen after digestion?" Chen Zhi asked in reply, leaving Ruan Qingling in place, "Not to mention, for the people of the grassland, the population is the Fundamentally, it is related to his rise and fall, strength and weakness. Previously, Wang Jun was very powerful and led all parties to besiege Murong. Once he succeeded, he would immediately be so powerful that no one could defeat him, and the Tuoba tribe had to bow their heads. So in order to follow him, they The internal weakening of Wang Jun gave me hope, and I even sent the first batch of people, but these people have not yet been implemented. To put it bluntly, they are just bait."

Ruan Qing said nothing.

Chen Zhi glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't mean to complain when I say this. The first batch of 3000 people have struggled for so long. If they don't give it to me, it will definitely not be justified. As for the rest, sooner or later they will have to They were sent to me, otherwise I would not have rested with them. But in this way, it has become a pawn in future negotiations and negotiations between the two of us, and we cannot expect it to come to fruition for the time being." Ruan Qing is not stupid. In the past, he There are no white people in the family, so I know the truth behind it. When I heard it, I understood it and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Immediately, he glanced at the time and said: "Since the people from the Tuoba tribe are here and the prefect has to go to greet them, I will not disturb them, so as not to delay the prefect's business here."

"Dai Bei's matter is also a business matter and a key matter." Chen Zhi stood up and said with a smile: "Also, you go back to have a rest and tidy up, and follow me there later."

After Ruan Qing heard this, he was secretly happy, nodded, and left immediately.

"Now that I am working in Daibei, which is far away from Dai County, it is not easy for me to leave an impression on the prefect. However, Dai County's affairs are not trivial, and they seem to involve the prefect's layout, so as long as they are done well, it will be the same. It can make the prefect take notice!"

Ruan Qing walked out of the Yamen and considered the situation.

"I was originally asked by my family to come here to seek refuge. I thought I was being assigned. Unexpectedly, the prefect was really extraordinary and laid a foundation. If I can be taken seriously, in the future the prefect will be transferred to the center and become an important minister of the imperial court. He will also promote me. The voice in the family will also increase."

Ruan Qing and Na Ji stubbornly came to join them not out of their own free will, but because of the influence of the families behind them. But after they came and saw Chen Zhi's ability, they slowly felt relieved and decided to stick with them, so They were previously recommended by Chen Zi and Su Liao to take charge of the situation on behalf of Bei, and they were considered hard-working.

"At present, the power of the noble families around the prefect is actually quite clear, and there are not many families involved. Except for the Yang family and the Chen family, they are local families. These local families are not a concern because of their foundation and background. Jiaohe Zhang Kang, who followed early on and has the title of celebrity, and his family is still close to Jizhou, has a great influence. In the past, he was trapped in the Tuoba tribe. That would be bad for me, so I have to plan ahead."

With all kinds of thoughts, Ruan Qing frowned and kept thinking.

As time went by, he still had no idea of ​​what he was waiting for when a messenger came to inform him that he would go out of the city to meet the Tuoba tribe’s envoys.

"Well, although this matter can't be postponed, it can't be rushed. It's better to meet the person first and then talk about anything else."

With this thought, Ruan Qing followed the officer and hurried over. But once he arrived, he found that the incident was really lively, because Duan Bu, Murong Bu, people from the imperial court, and several other people actually joined in. Together, surrounding Chen Zhi, they were arguing!

"Huh? What are you making all this noise about?" He was confused and suddenly stunned, "Why are there so many Taoist priests here?"
