Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 842 Everyone is looking for a way out

"The road I pointed out is of course the most likely way to survive, but if the generals on Daijun's side have a plan and leave a way out in advance, it will coincide with the idea that the city must be sieged. It is equivalent to opening a net and waiting for the prey to get in. , then it becomes a dangerous place, I wanted to say this to Duan Jin, but he didn't give me a chance to say it because of his appearance."

Nie Daoren said so.

Buddha Fa Jian savored these words and couldn't understand it for a while, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Just say, if you meet an ordinary general, you can escape. If you are a more powerful one, you will fall into a trap instead?"

"That's the truth," Nie Daoren nodded, and then added: "This is also the reason why I can't defect at this time, otherwise I will be regarded as an incompetent person. Teacher, you think, using fame to become an official, or being captured As for surrender, how can the treatment of these two be the same?"

"I see." As if he had figured it out, Dharma Jian didn't stick to his original idea. He just said: "However, it is right for us not to go now. Although it is better to provide help in times of need, we have the support of Buddhism behind us, so we can There are too many benefits for the overlord of one party. You can wait until the situation is clear before making a decision. If Youzhou really wants to change hands, then the Chen family will flourish. Even if they are not very close to Buddhism, they can take care of them in the north. Standing firm on the ground is also considered a retreat, and besides, I heard that the tide in Luoyang is surging, so it is not a suitable time to go there."

Nie Daoren did not answer, but frowned and said: "There is another problem now. It is the letter I wrote to Shi Le. It explained a lot of content, but I am afraid that it touched his heart. Originally, this was to prevent accidents on the road. It was a plan made in advance, but if I want to change it now, I'm afraid it will cause unintended consequences."

"You don't have to worry about Shi Le," the Buddhist Dharma Slip clearly had other plans, "As the saying goes, eggs can't be put in one basket, I can go there on your behalf."

Nie Daoren shook his head. Based on the information he collected, he felt that Shi Le was not that easy to fool.

The Dharma Slip followed and said: "It's really not the time to worry about these things. Let's get out of danger first. But I listen to the two donors. Mr. Chen's search is a bit heavy. Will there be any hidden dangers?"

"Teacher, are you talking about accepting merchants?" Nie Daoren laughed after hearing this.

As soon as the Buddhist Dharma Brief saw it, he knew that this student had his own opinions in mind, and couldn't help but ask: "I just saw that you didn't say a word or comment, so I knew that I had something on my mind, so why don't I talk about it."

Nie Daoren glanced at the two merchants and saw that they were both practicing and did not notice what was going on here. The distance was not close and the words could not be heard clearly. Then he lowered his voice and said: "The students heard about this, but they thought it was not a bad thing. Teacher, do you know that since ancient times, most of this tax revenue has been collected from farmers? Why is this?"

"Why?"

Nie Daoren said: "This is because farmers have household registration and land, whether they are their own land or tenants. They cultivate the family's land. No matter what, they can't do without the land. Taxes and labor are naturally determined. Merchants Otherwise, he travels from north to south and from east to west, living in no fixed place, and it is difficult to determine what he sells. The amount of money he gets, only his account books can be cleared. There are many merchants in the world who work for aristocratic families, and it is more difficult to hold them accountable. Therefore, it is difficult to collect business taxes. The most they can do is set up cards along the way to collect their money, which is actually a drop in the bucket."

Buddha Fa Jian vaguely understood, and said: "According to what you said, this can collect money, but the meaning is extraordinary?"

Nie Daoren nodded and said: "If it can be implemented, the national treasury will be greatly increased. If there is money, the country will be strong. This is why my disciple wants to truly defect."

The Buddhist Dharma Brief understood this. Although he was a monk, the temple was a landlord. There were thousands of hectares of fertile land, and there were many tenants in the thousands. How could he not know the importance of money.

Thinking about it this way, I felt that it was not bad to defect to Chen Zhi, but if I had known it would happen, why didn't I defect to him when I was in Daijun? After going around in such a circle, I thought of defecting.

In particular, Wang Jun, Murong and Shi Le were provoked, which made the monk feel uneasy, but looking at the students' excited faces, he couldn't help suppressing his uneasiness.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it. ………………

"The military soldiers of Daijun divided their forces at this time and took the initiative to come to Fanyang County. This is asking for death!"

Duan Pixi was riding on a horse, and behind him were a continuous stream of cavalry and infantry, moving quickly amidst the shouts. Each of these people looked very strong. Although the steps were messy as they walked, they still exuded a strong and powerful look. breath.

In front of Duan Pixian, there was also a group of infantry, but their clothing was a bit crude, and many of them were not even equipped with weapons.

Those are the refugee troops who were recruited by Wang Jun. They are currently in the front to prevent sneak attacks. At the same time, they are also used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's strength.

"There must not be many people sent by Dai County. After all, their main manpower must be used to defend Dai County. This sneak attack must be to use the remaining strength as much as possible to destroy the general's overall plan. Strategy!”

Duan Pixi sat on the horse with high spirits, analyzing the current situation in his mind, and felt that he had gradually grasped the key.

"However, that's the limit. Once the three armies are encircled, it will be difficult for Daijun to match. It is normal for them to want to resist. However, the total number of people on both sides is too different. No matter how they allocate their manpower, they will not be able to deal with Duan Jin. The few men and horses he has are okay, but if he wants to deal with more men, he is definitely unable to cope with them. On the contrary, because of the division of troops, they are weak everywhere. This is also one of the reasons why the general divides his troops into three groups. The soldiers and horses in each group are larger than those on his behalf. There are many counties, but Daijun did not concentrate his troops, but wanted to divide and defeat them. In the end, he could only be dragged down everywhere! This time, I want to see if Chen Zhi can still laugh!"

Thinking of what he had experienced as an envoy in Dai County, Duan Pizhen's breathing quickened subconsciously, and a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

Then, he ordered people to speed up the march.

The first group affected by the order was the infantry of the former refugee army in front. They were already being pushed to run without even having time to eat, and now they had to speed up. Many people immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. However, due to Wang Jun's majesty, the ferocity of the team leaders, and the invisible pressure from the army behind them, they did not dare to really make a fuss.

"These barbarians are nothing! They know how to order people, but they don't even give them a full meal!"

During the brisk march, Li Tou couldn't help but complain. Normally, if he said such words, many people would immediately distance themselves from him, but in this situation, other people were more or less muttering, "Where is the matter?" Still take care of him.

Even the Xianbei captains who were following to supervise the battle were too lazy to go over and scold them, and just kept urging them to speed up their pace.

On the other hand, Chen Wu, who was following Li Tou, took two steps closer and whispered, "Save your strength later. Don't rush forward to kill the enemy when you see them. Let's retreat slowly and find a way out."

"What?" Li Tou glanced at him in surprise, "I'm afraid it's not easy to do, after all, there is..." His eyes looked towards the left and rear intentionally or unintentionally, where Xianbei was Where the team leader is.

　Thanks to "Yueyue Chengjue" for the reward!
