Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 945 The situation changes in seven days

"Zu Ti's power is declining. Even his nephew can see that he is restrained by the King of Hejian inside and threatened by the general outside. Even the King of Jiangdu wants to add insult to injury. I heard that he plans to recruit Zu Ti's troops. Could it be that Can we still make a rescue?"

Zhang Duo sincerely asked for advice. As Zhang Bin's nephew, he has a close relationship and is a confidant. He also admires his uncle's talent, and he intends to study by his side. , naturally want to ask for advice.

Zhang Bin was not too self-conscious and reminded him: "You only look at one state, how can you understand that the world is like chess, but there are not many chess players. Now there are only two and a half people in the north who can become chess players." , now there are two of them.”

When Zhang Duo heard it, he understood it in his heart, but he still asked, "Which two and a half, which two?"

"One, of course, is our general, who crossed Youzhou and entered Jizhou, relied on the Huns to devour two kings, and rose up because of the situation. Originally, I thought that I had to have a fight with the court, to appease and delay, and wait for the situation to change. What's more, I didn't expect this clan to be so nonsense, so that the situation is ahead of schedule, if we grasp it properly, it is not impossible for the general to succeed."

Zhang Duo opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he didn't ask. He was just thinking about the word "chengshi" in his heart, and what kind of thing it was. However, he was also from a wealthy family after all. The Zhang family was actually not just a poor family, but just the elders. He had to be demoted, but many clan members were well-read in poetry and books. Even though the family inheritance did not deliberately emphasize loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Gang Chang's ethics were still there, and he did not dare to break through, so he only briefly considered this idea.

Zhang Bin looked at his nephew's face and didn't say much, but continued: "The original second person is naturally Wang Jun."

"Nephew, I understand." Zhang Duo immediately realized who the previous chess player was. "No wonder my uncle said that the world is a chess game, and you really can't just look at one state. In the past, the commander-in-chief was afraid of Wang Jun, so he passed Youzhou and It doesn't stop, and the King of Jiangdu also had Wang Jun as his support, so he only dared to attack before."

"Yes," Zhang Bin nodded. "If Wang Jun hadn't been blocked by the four-party siege of Murong, and Dai Jun was a hidden danger, which affected his energy, Uncle Wei would not have suggested that the commander come to Jizhou, because this would undoubtedly give Wang Jun The excuse for Junnan to go down is just something I didn't expect. The situation in Youzhou changed in an instant, and I didn't even have a chance to plan and intervene."

Having said this, a look of sadness appeared on his face and he sighed again and again.

This appearance made Zhang Duo secretly amazed. He had followed his uncle for many years, and he rarely saw his uncle like this. Even when he was forced to take refuge in Shi Le, he was quite free and easy. He was trapped in the Xiongnu country with Shi Le, smiling the same way Always there, planning and planning have no effect, where is it like this.

That General Chen...

He was thinking about Chen Zhi here, but on the other side, Zhang Bin mentioned Chen Zhi——

"I originally thought that when the two powerful forces in Youzhou were fighting, even if they were obviously strong and weak, they would still have to check each other and see each other for a period of time, but I never thought that this would be the situation now. The person playing chess in the north has changed. The entire chess game will be different, and what was originally planned should be changed."

Zhang Duo frowned and thought for a while, and asked in confusion: "But General Chen is indeed powerful, but he originally controlled only one Daijun. Not only did he not have enough troops, but also to consolidate Youzhou, how could he influence Zu Ti?" Over there? Can we still send troops to help? "

Zhang Bin did not explain, but just said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, just wait and you will find out. In short, although this matter will hinder the commander's progress, it will not hurt his muscles and bones. Maybe it is a good thing. After all, it was too smooth and expanded too fast, which also caused the commander's mind to change a little. This is not a good thing in this initial stage."

Seeing that his uncle did not answer directly, Zhang Duo did not ask further questions and instead said: "My uncle just mentioned that there were originally two and a half people playing chess, but now there are only two. Who are the other half? Could it be King Jiangdu?" "From the perspective of power and troops, it is undoubtedly the King of Jiangdu. However, this person comes from a clan with great ambitions and limited talents. He is just like a chess piece. It is not his turn to play chess. If he can stay calm and restrain his ambitions, maybe he can It can also guarantee your life, otherwise you will be involved in the storm and your life will not be saved."

"Then this half..."

"I won't let you guess anymore," Zhang Bin simply said, "This half is the original Zu Ti. This man is very strategic, knows how to lead troops, and can win people's hearts. He is like a nail, taking root in a county. Stirring up the storm, despite its small size, its position is very critical, and it is in the middle of several forces. There are conflicts and battles, and it is quite organized. It can be regarded as stimulating the situation, but after all, it is inherently flawed, so it is only half of it. , but now that the news of the deposed prince’s death is false and he has returned to the country, Hejian County suddenly has two masters, which are consuming each other and difficult to unite, so his qualifications to play chess are no longer there.”

Zhang Duo said: "Since he is gone, how can he defeat the commander? I don't think Youzhou Chen Zhi is willing to help. The two sides have no contact in the past, and the commander's current strength is that he has sent thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are What's the use?"

Zhang Bin said something that made him feel a little inexplicable: "Sometimes, sending troops and horses does not mean that it is a war."

Zhang Duo asked again, but Zhang Bin didn't say much. He just said that he would know after waiting. Then he prepared some documents and planned to take some time to meet Shi Le and give him some advice.

So Zhang Duo waited in doubt.

On the first day after that, he heard that Shihu led the army and broke Zuti's army, and the opponent retreated again and again, and Hejian County was defeated.

The next day, Shi Hu stood still, but news came from within Hejian County, saying that the deposed prince and King of Hejian had summoned people from the country to seize Zuti's military power.

On the third day, I heard that in Hejian County, there were signs of confrontation between the troops of King Hejian and Zu Ti, and they actually wanted to collapse without a fight.

But on the fourth day, the situation changed suddenly. A 3000-man army marched south from the north, led by Guo Zhi, to help Zu Ti.

On the fifth day, the disputes in Hejian County subsided. It was said that the deposed prince invited Zu Ti to have a drink with him, and Zu Ti also went to the banquet without fear, and the two sides settled their differences.

On the sixth day, the Hejian Kingdom, which was originally in danger, suddenly became entangled again. Even the King of Hejian revealed a hint of intention to hand over his troops to the command of Zu Ti.

On the seventh day, Shi Hu, who knew he had missed the opportunity, became angry and led the attack. He thought he could win as usual, but it turned out to be a stalemate. After the confrontation between the two sides, there was movement of troops in the north. It seemed that Youzhou troops were about to take over. Down!

Suddenly, everyone in Jizhou Shile's land was in danger, and the atmosphere became solemn. The strong sense of enterprising that was originally generated by the successive victories disappeared in an instant.
