Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 926

"Did you receive the letter from Chen Zhi?"

Among the continuous tents, Murong Ren held the letter in his hand, frowning, and then glanced at the figures kneeling not far away.

To the north of Yan County, on the vast land, there are fragmented tribes scattered. Some of them even live as herdsmen, but they make a living by farming. This is because under the cold weather, many lands still retain nutrients.

However, as the weather becomes colder and the boundaries between cultivated land and grazing change rapidly, it is actually difficult for the households on these boundaries to survive the winter by farming alone. Therefore, at this time, they often gather together and pick up weapons to fight. Tribes were organized into units and plundered everywhere.

Over time, it became a place with strong folk customs, and several small and medium-sized tribes gradually formed.

The composition of these tribes is quite complicated. When the Xiongnu was powerful, they claimed to be affiliated with the Xiongnu. Then Wuhuan and other Donghu alliances rose, and they also changed their names. Now that Xianbei is expanding, they each gave themselves a Xianbei nickname.

Those who have come to control Youzhou have never dealt with these people, and many Youzhou governors have collected these scattered tribes as minions.

As the Xianbei tribes grew stronger, these tribes also moved towards the Qin Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty. They were unpredictable and extremely flexible.

Previously, because Wang Jun was powerful and both Xianbei tribes had defected to Wang Jun, the tribes outside the county were naturally unwilling to be left behind and defected one after another, adding a lot of strength to Wang Jun's army. This was also a manifestation of the expansion of Youzhou's power. This further increased his influence in interfering with the grasslands.

However, after this attack, Murong's tribe made some moves. Murong Ren led the soldiers and horses to attack here, in order to incorporate all the tribes into their own use, and at the same time squeeze the strategic space of Youzhou.

"But Chen Zhi, how did he do it? He actually defeated Wang Jun so quickly! No, what's really surprising is that in this battle, Wang Jun was defeated, but Chen Zhi won. Youzhou will change hands from now on! It’s simply unbelievable!”

Looking at the letter in his hand, Murong Ren's face turned green and pale for a while, and he recalled the scene when he analyzed the situation and made plans in front of his father, uncle and brother Murong Hao!

At that time, Murong Ren put forward several general strategies, which were planned for both warring parties. For Wang Jun, he wanted to occupy a piece of grassland in the north of Youzhou, and then gather these scattered small and medium-sized tribes.

As for Chen Zhi, he expected that he would be defeated, so he plotted to conquer Xianbei, the seventh rank.

As a result, the plan had just been launched when news suddenly came out that the war in Youzhou had ended, and the two warring parties had a winner. The winner was Daijun Wuding led by Chen Zhi, while the loser was Wang Jun and even himself. All become prisoners!
This kind of news can be said to have completely shocked Murong Ren, causing him to be at a loss for a while. When he got the news, he was too flustered, so he wanted to block the news and prevent it from spreading to Murong Thorn City behind— —

He led a team of troops here. In fact, he was right in the middle of the communication between Youzhou and Murong's Ministry. If he really wanted to do it, he could still intercept the news. It was just that Murong's Ministry was now rising rapidly and its influence was expanding. The main sign is that there are so many people who take refuge in it, and the sources of information are diverse, it is not something that one party can stop.

The reason why they were so shocked was because Wang Jun's reputation in the past was too great and the things he did were too shocking, which left a deep impression on these Xianbei people, and there was a lot of fear that could even be called a psychological shadow.

"Wang Jun was actually defeated and captured alive. Could this news be false?"

"Back then, he led the army southward and won all the battles. Together with Gou Xi, he quelled the chaos in Jizhou. He was truly an extraordinary figure. Not to mention, he united with the Duan tribe and nearly dominated the north and northeast. Such a person, with all his troops, Attacking the enemy army with more attacks and fewer attacks will lead to defeat?" "What's the reason for this? Couldn't Chen Shouyi have supernatural powers?"

A lot of news spread among Murong's troops. By the time Murong Ren reacted and wanted to stop the rumors, it was already too late.

After all, it took him a long time to calm down, but Murong Ren was unwilling to admit defeat. Once he confirmed the truth of the news, he did not retreat, but decided to continue the invasion with his men.

"This letter clearly threatens us, saying that we should withdraw from the army as soon as possible, otherwise we will bear the consequences."

"The tone of voice is quite serious!" Murong Ren sneered when he heard what his subordinates said, "Chen Shouyi writes well and thinks he is number one..." I wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but suddenly thought that Chen Zhi is now the He is the No. [-] person, so I can't say this anymore.

"It's just good luck. Things on this battlefield ultimately depend on strength. He can't just leave every time..."

I wanted to say something to vent my anger, but in the middle of my words, I remembered that Chen Zhi was not a small victory this time, but a series of victories. Now he had directly defeated the overlord who originally dominated the north, and had the opportunity to replace him.

"No matter how you think about it, this Chen Zhi is really a dangerous person. If this person is really allowed to replace Wang Jun, the situation of our Murong Department will not be any different from the past. It might even be worse! That Chen Zhi He is very good at disguise and has confused us in the past. It is probably just for today that he can defeat Wang Jun. In addition to military means, he may also use the Han Dynasty court to let him gain a foothold. The consequences will be disastrous, so we must continue to march!"

It was originally meant to persuade subordinates, but in the end, even Murong Ren himself felt that it made sense, so his words became more firm: "Tell the people below, don't be afraid of this. Wang Jun has 20 troops, but Chen Zhi But no! Wang Jun has two more states, and Chen Zhi may not even be able to fully control the Yan State at the moment. This is the opportunity! Once we get enough territory, maybe we can give it a try in Youzhou. !”

After saying this, he ordered his subordinates: "Then Chen Zhi is still waiting for my reply. Then tell him that my Murong tribe is also a tribe that has been canonized by the imperial court. My father, Shanyu, has been awarded an official position in the imperial court. Now I have heard that He, Chen Zhi, rebelled against superiors, so he came with his troops!"

This decision made his men panic, and someone couldn't help but remind him: "Even Wang Jun is no match, how can we still face Chen Zhi?"

"Of course not!" Murong Ren immediately denied, "We are just using this as an excuse to bargain! Don't forget, our original purpose is not to occupy the territory, but to gain benefits! Although Wang Jun is not here, but in exchange for Cheng Chenzhi, maybe it’s better to ask for it!”

With these words, the reply letter was sent, and it soon fell into Chen Zhi's hands.

"Murong Ren...Murong Xuan's other son is another person who is trying to fight for luck. He wants to be the protagonist of Murong's Romance. But according to the original history, the protagonist at this stage should be Murong Huang, to be precise. It is said that it is Murong Huang who will be on the stage in the future."

Putting the letter away, Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

"However, this does reveal the true purpose of their group, and it also allows me to take advantage of the opportunity to explore how my method of observing qi has changed after acquiring Youzhou, and why this body is different. …”
