Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 925 Xianbei Ce

Although the current situation in Youzhou has calmed down, the war in this place has never been just a matter between the warring parties, but also involves the surrounding situation.

For example, the war in Youzhou and Wang Jun's attack on Chen Zhi not only affected the nerves of the New Han Dynasty court, but also caused many surrounding forces to take action.

In fact, if we carefully distinguish them, the surrounding forces actually have four different attitudes towards this battle against Dai.

The first type is undoubtedly the most direct, represented by Duan Bu Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei. They have already surrendered to Wang Jun's forces. As vassals and subordinates, they directly participated in the war. Now they have been replaced by Daijun. Wu Ding was beaten to death, some ran away and some scattered;

The second type is like Shi Le in the south. He thinks that when the war starts in Youzhou, he has no time to take care of it, so he seizes the opportunity to expand in Jizhou. In his opinion, after such an operation, after Wang Jun wins, he can return He tried to interfere with Jizhou, but he was unable to do so, because he could only sit back and watch Shi Le's power expand;

This third type is taking advantage of the situation, such as the Murong tribe and the Tuoba tribe. But having said that, these two tribes are actually unjust. They also believe that Wang Jun will be the winner in the end, and they and Wang Jun have some conflicts. When it comes to conflicts, you should take advantage of the opportunity. Even if you have to spit it out afterwards, it can be used as a bargaining chip.

As for the fourth type, they are like the Bingzhou Xiongnu. Although they are close at hand, they are waiting to see what happens for various reasons. They seem to want to sit back and watch the situation develop. However, there are differences here because there are many internal forces in the Xiongnu, such as Shanyu Liu Yi. Liu Yao from the first line went north to the grassland to recruit people. He seemed to have a plan, but he couldn't see it yet.

At the moment, what Chen Zhi was talking about with many of his subordinates was mainly the third type of people, namely the Murong tribe and the Tuoba tribe.

These two troops were originally close to Youzhou, but due to Wang Jun's power, they were not close to the border. Now Wang Jun and Chen Zhi were fighting. The two troops judged that the fighting between the two families would last for a certain period of time, so they each made their own moves. Seizing the opportunity to expand his power southward, he eroded part of the tribes and lands that had originally surrendered and attached themselves to Youzhou.

Especially the Tuoba tribe even occupied part of the land in Guangning County!

Such a thing would be understandable if faced with Wang Jun. However, many of Chen Zhi's subordinates now believe that they will be in charge of Youzhou in the future. Murong and Tuoba were originally on good terms with Daijun, but now they have done so. This kind of thing is undoubtedly morally untenable, so under Chen Zhi's instructions, he has sent several letters in succession, hoping to make the two parties consciously retreat and maintain their "friendship".

"Of course, the so-called friendship between forces is actually superficial friendship." After Chen Zhi made his decision, he did not stop talking and continued, "It was originally a relationship of exchange of interests or bundling. Originally, because of Wang Jun's existence , whether we are with the Murong tribe or the Tuoba tribe, we have a common enemy. With Wang Jun as a target, we can find some common interests no matter what. But now the situation has changed, and Wang Jun’s position has been changed by me. On top of that, the relationship with the two ministries will naturally become more subtle in the future. They were unwilling to surrender to Wang Jun at the beginning, and they will not want to surrender to us in the future. Therefore, it is obvious that there is a potential hostility between us and the two ministries... …”

Chen Zhi said so, but his subordinates didn't seem to be interested in listening.

"No!"

As expected, as soon as Chen Zhi's proposal came out, everyone opposed it.

"My lord is now the center of a state, how can he take risks easily? If something goes wrong, the whole situation will be chaotic!" This was what Shujia said.Zhang Kang also nodded and said: "At the moment, all the Youzhou families are bowing their heads and surrendering because the Lord is here. We should take this opportunity to slowly advance so that they can truly return home. If they leave rashly, these families may Give birth to other thoughts.”

One of them analyzed the situation, the other analyzed it from the family's submission. What they said was very reasonable. In comparison, Ran Zhan's speech was very simple and direct——

"Since there are not enough troops, even if my lord passes by, the number of people will still be insufficient, and the troops will not be increased because of this. The danger is still there. Why not wait until we have reorganized the large forces of the Youzhou Army, lead the army over, and directly Isn't it enough to scare those Xianbei people away?" As he spoke, he noticed the strange looks from others, and waved his hands: "Don't look at me like that, I also know that those surrendered troops are not powerful, but there are many people. That's enough, let's show off our momentum and suppress those young people, after all, the Xianbei people don't dare to invade."

"This proposal is very unique to you." Chen Zhi nodded and looked towards Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan met his gaze and began to persuade: "Those two troops are just waiting for work, and their own strength has not been lost. Although they have made a temporary decision to go south for a short period of time, their footing is actually unstable, but they still have advantages in the end. If we fight against them, , at least two troops of at least 3000 men must be stopped. If not, even if the lord goes there in person, I am afraid that it may not be able to change the situation."

This is a rough analysis purely from the perspective of a military strategist. The specific situation is of course more complicated, but there is no need to go into too much detail at this time.

Chen Zize said: "My lord, you have already made plans before. After stabilizing the general situation in Ji County, Youzhou, you will first return to Dai County to take care of your wife."

His words were short and did not make much sense. However, as soon as he said these words, everyone else came to their senses. Then they thought that Chen Zhi's wife, Yang, was going to give birth recently. Wouldn't this be the best advice? Word?

But before they could speak, Chen Zhi smiled and said, "I want to go back, but this is not inconsistent with leading the troops myself."

"Lord, what do you mean?" Shujiao, Zhang Kang and others were hesitant and uncertain.

"Yes, we have to wait until Dai County's affairs are settled before we go north to handle the border issues," Chen Zhi said, looking at everyone, "So there is still time, enough to make some simple arrangements, besides..."

He suddenly laughed: "Wouldn't it be interesting to give those two parts some time and let them ferment for a while? After all, we will have to deal with these border tribes frequently in the future."

Fermentation for a while again?
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They still remembered that the last time Chen Zhi captured Fan Yang, he didn't rush to advance. He said he would let Jixian ferment for a while, but in the end he captured it without bloodshed and then took control of Youzhou. Could it be this? Will it happen again in those two movies?

When several people were confused, Chen Zhi added: "Besides, I have already asked people to write several letters and send them to the two departments. I believe they have read them by now, and there will probably be some responses."
