Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 827: Secret soldiers and horses, meeting halfway

"We haven't left Fanyang County in Youzhou yet. The only ones who can mobilize a large number of troops here are still so active. The only people under General Wang Jun's command. Judging from their appearance, they are definitely not marching drills. "

In the atmosphere of doubt and panic, Dharma Jane and Nie Daoren did not step out of the carriage rashly, but sat in the carriage and peeped out, and saw groups of soldiers approaching from afar.

These soldiers did not choose to run, but walked quickly, rushed over, and surrounded the convoy.

"These infantry seem to have traveled a lot," Nie Daoren made a judgment while observing the approaching soldiers. "The official road we chose is located in the west of Fanyang County and is not considered the main road in the first place. I just wanted to avoid possible trouble, but here I encountered such a group of infantry who had obviously traveled a long distance. Their purpose is very questionable."

The Buddhist Dharma Slip was listening nearby and was horrified and said, "Could it be that this group of people is going to attack Daijun?"

"It's very possible," Nie Daoren frowned and lowered his face, "Although Wang Jun has a well-organized march, he likes to fight undeclared and often makes sneak attacks. When he traveled far away from Jizhou, he marched in a hurry for three days and three nights. , went straight to Shile's army, and the previous siege of Jicheng was because the news was leaked in advance, which led to Murong's tribe being well prepared, and ultimately failed. However, this was actually inevitable. The Xianbei tribe was already flexible. Even if Murong settled in Jicheng, it would still be the same. There are many customs in the past. Once people cannot be killed in one go and people escape and escape to the grassland, they may become the second Tuyuhun and Tuoba tribe. That's why Wang Jun summoned all parties to completely surround Murong. If there are too many, the situation will be complicated, and with many people talking, leakage of information is inevitable.”

"So that's it. My teacher didn't know that Wang Jun has such a habit. Are these people going to sneak attack Daijun? But we happened to run into it? Doesn't that mean we are going to be kidnapped by them?" Dharma Jane said At that time, he showed a worried look. If what his disciple said was true, then the first practical problem is that in order to keep it secret, this army would wrap them up and not let them leave, which is the best choice.

Nie Daoren pondered for a moment and said: "Teacher, there is no need to worry. Before I came here this time, I learned about some of the movements of the Youzhou soldiers and horses, and I made some guesses, so I was prepared in advance. If they really wanted to take us away, , let the disciples go up and explain."

"So you were already prepared?" Buddha Dharma Jian felt relieved after hearing this, "That's good, you will do something later, my master will not say anything."

The two masters and apprentices decided that there were already soldiers outside shouting for the people in the carriage to come down and meet their generals.

"I wonder who the leader of the army is, and whether we know each other. If we have met before, it will probably be much easier to negotiate." The Dharma Slip said as he got out of the carriage.

Nie Daoren also nodded. If it was someone they had met in Jixian County, they would be able to confirm some of their guesses and save the process of self-identification.

"It turns out to be Master Dharma Jian..."

What made the master and disciple a little relieved was that the person they met this time was really an acquaintance named Duan Jin, one of Wang Jun's generals.

Just by hearing this name, you can tell that this Duan Jin was born in Duanbu Xianbei, but according to Nie Daoren's understanding, strictly speaking, this person should be a mixture of Chinese and Xianbei, but his mother is only a Xianbei noble. The female slave did not grow up in a good environment when she was young, but she was good at seizing opportunities. In the end, she rose to prominence under Wang Jun. Now she is a lieutenant general and leads many soldiers.When the two masters and disciples of Dharma Jian were in Jixian County, they had attended several dinner parties before, and they had met Duan Jin during the dinner. Therefore, Duan Jin recognized the two of them after meeting each other this time.

"The master left before. My general has been thinking about it for a long time and has always felt sorry. To meet here this time, in the words of the master, it is also fate. Let's do this. I will arrange a few people to escort them to Jixian. , settle down first, and when the general is free, he will definitely pay a visit, what do you two think?"

Duan Jin's words sounded polite, but the undoubted flavor was still captured by the master and the disciple. The Dharma Slip couldn't help but sink. This was what worried him the most, and he couldn't help but look at his disciple.

Nie Daoren smiled at this time and said: "The general is right. We are also eager to see the general again and talk about Buddhism with him, but this matter has to be postponed for a while."

"Huh?" Duan Jin frowned when he heard this, "Young master, you are a smart man. At this time, do you think it can be postponed?" It seemed a bit cryptic before, but now he gestured to the people around him as he spoke. The person expresses the idea that he has strength in numbers.

After all, he is from Xianbei, but he still doesn’t understand etiquette.

Sighing in his heart, Nie Daoren kept the smile on his face and said what he had prepared: "There is a reason for this, and it is not deliberately against the general. The main reason is that I am going south this time to negotiate with Shi Le. This person sticking to one side is really a hidden danger. I, the Buddhist sect, saves all sentient beings and cannot bear to see the people of Jizhou suffer. Therefore, I have made an agreement with Na Shi Le to discuss Buddhism in a few days. The letter has been sent out long ago. If the person does not arrive, then …”

"You had contact with Shi Le beforehand?" Duan Jin's expression changed immediately. How could he not understand the underlying meaning of these words? "You dare to contact the thieves. You are really not afraid of being held accountable by the court!"

He scolded him at first, but then he got into trouble. He understood what Nie Daoren meant. According to what the other party said, he had already contacted Shi Le in advance. If the person hadn't arrived, Shi Le must have noticed it. In this way, whether it was coercion or If several people go together, or if they are forcibly escorted to Jixian, there will be hidden dangers.

When he led the troops this time, he was acting in secret, and he was most afraid of being seen. Especially for someone like the Dharma Slip who had his own information channels, he couldn't take it lightly.

"Shi Le is very scheming, and he has the intention of invading Youzhou. He has tried it several times before. This time the general acted secretly, which actually meant to confuse this person. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to let him know that there is going to be a war in Youzhou. They are trying to fish in troubled waters again. According to the Nie family, they contacted Shi Le in advance. If they did not arrive on time, Shi Le would send someone to check, and there might be a problem..."

Even so, Duan Jin had no intention of letting the two of them go, and was still thinking of some secret way to take them away by force.

On the other side, the Dharma Slip thought that before leaving, his disciple had indeed written a few letters to send out, so he took them out as excuses, but he also saw that Duan Jin would not let it go just because of such a paragraph. They left and looked at Nie Daoren again, only to see that the latter's expression was as usual, and he obviously had a back-up plan.

On the opposite side, Duan Jin coughed lightly and was about to say more. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet shook faintly, and then there was a shout of killing in the distance!
