Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 861 I expected this to be a protracted war

This collision between Daijun and Youzhou can be said to have been anticipated by all parties, so almost every force around here has sent its own spies to all over Youzhou, many of them Concentrated around Dai County.

However, what they never expected was that the conflict would eventually occur in Fanyang County.

At the same time, the progress of several other armies from Youzhou, as well as the obstruction of Daijun, and the mobilization of soldiers, almost every change will attract the attention of many spies, and these news seem to fall into the already undercurrent. The stones in the surging river created ripples, which quickly evolved into waves of waves, spreading in all directions.

In addition to the two power groups, Wang Jun of Youzhou Army and Chen Zhi, a military soldier of Daijun, who were the parties involved, there were also some people who could be said to have received the news immediately.

However, due to geographical and transportation constraints, these people received different information.

In the far north, with the attack of Qipin Xianbei, and then the soldiers and horses of the Yuwen Department were caught off guard and had to retreat, and then they had conflicts with the border defense generals in the north of Youzhou, and the two sides fell into a confrontation. The news spread immediately He arrived among the Murong tribe and the Tuoba tribe.

"The two sides are finally fighting, but I didn't expect that Wang Jun would eventually use people from the Yuwen Department to detour from the grassland!"

In the palace of the city lord of Murong Jicheng, Murong Xin summoned his brother Murong Yun and his sons Murong Huang and Murong Ren to reveal the news to the three of them.

Of these three people, one is his brother, who is his right-hand man, and even ran for his life together when he was young. Now that Murong is rising gradually, the general situation is certain, and his brother's position is gradually becoming prominent.

As for the two sons, they were both favored by Murong Xian. They were brothers from the same mother and were usually close to each other. They both showed good military intelligence and were regarded as successors by Murong Xian. They were both under investigation. Entrusted with an important task, this time I encountered something that would have an impact on the situation in the North. Of course, I also called him over for examination.

They are all smart people. After hearing the news, Murong Rendang was the first to speak up: "Haier feels that this northern army is just a lure and bait to let Daijun divide his troops. Although the army on this road has encountered setbacks, it cannot Decide the situation in Youzhou this time!"

Murong Xin nodded.

Murong Yun laughed and praised: "What Qian Qian said is quite accurate. There is another news here that you don't know yet. In fact, Wang Jun has mobilized many troops this time. There must be more than one route. The route we control has two armies. Among them, the northern route is dominated by the Yuwen Department, which is temporarily retreating. Further to the south, Wang Chang and Ruan Bao are leading the army, leading the army directly towards Dai County and the local area. City! It’s just that we don’t know the news along this route yet.”

As he spoke, he suddenly patted his head, looked at Murong Xin and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you say this."

"You've already said it, and now you think of keeping it a secret?" Murong Xin scolded with a smile, but both he and his two sons knew very well that in a few days such news would not even be able to be stopped, and all parties would You know, it can't be considered a secret, otherwise Murong Yun wouldn't have revealed it so casually.Murong Xin waved his hand and changed the subject: "Okay, what is going on in this matter? In fact, we don't need to pay too much attention. The key is to predict who can win this battle in Youzhou. It will have a great impact on our Murong Department." How much impact will it have, and how much benefit can we gain from it?"

"Even if they don't tell the winner, we still have something to gain," Murong Huang said at this time. He squinted slightly, looking confident, and then took the initiative to say without waiting for anyone else to ask: "Actually, from here on The soldiers and horses of Ciyu Wenbu temporarily retreated, and it can be seen that these two sides are facing a protracted war!" His tone was very sure, and his eyes revealed a bright light.

Murong Ren frowned slightly, and Murong Yun nodded slightly.

Murong Xin remained calm and just asked: "Why do you see it?"

Murong Huang said calmly: "Although the Yuwen tribe's troops suffered setbacks, they were not really defeated. Moreover, they were not Wang Jun's troops. The real core of Youzhou is actually Wang Jun's headquarters and its dependents. The Duan tribe above it, if Wang Jun's troops, especially the Duan tribe, attacked and were ambushed halfway by the soldiers of Daijun, were then defeated and the whole army collapsed, even no generals would be captured. The war between the county and Youzhou may end soon, but the reality is not like this..."

Murong Ren said at this time: "It turns out that the Yuwen Department is not a direct descendant of Wang Jun. This retreat is only temporary. As long as it is repaired, it will be back on the battlefield soon. That seventh-grade Xianbei..." He said this word When he spoke, a look of disgust appeared on his face, "This group of rabble is actually not a problem. They took refuge in Chen Zhi only because of their defeat. And if many small groups unite, what fighting power can they have? If they don't occupy the army this time, With the advantage of a sneak attack, we don’t even think about having much impact on the Yuwen Department. Maybe the reason why we can achieve success is because of our relationship with the Murong Department."

Later, he had something to say.

Everyone present was well aware that there had been rumors recently that Murong Han, the eldest son of Murong Xuan, was idle in Dai County and would sometimes go to Qipin Xianbei for training and leadership. Murong Ren's words actually hinted at this attack. It is very likely that Murong Han is leading.

However, Murong Han didn't like it very much. He was originally analyzing it, but this half-brother suddenly interrupted and interrupted his rhythm. Now he mentioned Murong Han in a subtle way, which seemed to be teasing, but in fact, the purpose behind it was Not simple.

"Now in the eyes of Father Khan, I am undoubtedly the best candidate for heir. None of the other brothers can compete. Only Qian Qian is a threat. But he also knows that he is alone, so he wants to get his eldest brother back to him. I'm causing trouble!"

Murong Xuan didn't seem to see the thoughts of the two sons. He just listened to the analysis, nodded slowly, and then asked: "Then how can our Murong Department find benefits? That Daijun was also helpful to us before, and the relationship between the two parties is good. In general, We can't tear our skin apart, and Wang Jun's side is also very powerful, occupying Youzhou and Pingzhou. It has geographical power and the support of the Central Plains. Although we, Murong, have risen, we have not yet sorted out the tribes, and it will take time to integrate the internal affairs. , we cannot send troops to interfere at this time."

Murong Huang was about to answer, but Murong Ren was the first to say: "I have already considered this matter in my mind. I can get benefits without spending a single soldier, and it can also leave Wang Jun speechless! As for Chen Shouyi It doesn’t matter what you think.”
