Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 956: Fighting you with force is for your own good

"My lord, I don't know how the other side will respond?"

Just when the Murong tribe gathered in the city to discuss how to deal with Chen Zhi, in a small forest far outside the city, there were about 3000 soldiers and horses who were dispersing. During the inspection of the rules and regulations, many people inside saw wood, built tents, and built camps.

In a place in the forest, four people gathered together. The leader was Chen Zhi, and beside him, young Ran Zhan was talking curiously.

Next to Ran Zhan stood a short, fat man. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I think the first thing the Murong family thinks about is to save face. I understand the thoughts of these rich families. Especially for a large clan like the Murong tribe, which controls many people, they value face more than anything else, and it is estimated that they will have to send people here to promote their prestige before long."

After saying this, the fat man looked at Chen Zhi with a flattering smile and asked, "Brother Qi, do you think what I said is right?"

"Eighth brother, it seems that you have really grown a lot." Chen Zhi looked at the fat man and smiled softly.

The fat man in front of him was his eighth brother Chen Luo. Chen Zhi took him with him on this expedition. However, at the beginning, this cousin was worried about fighting on the battlefield and thought that the swords on the battlefield had no eyes. If he were not careful, he would have carried a heavy burden of nearly two hundred kilograms, but he did not dare to disobey Chen Zhi's wishes, so he had to bite the bullet, but he seemed extra timid. If there was the slightest trouble, he would immediately Showing agility and speed that are incompatible with his own weight.

Because he was worried that Chen Luo's wanton running would disrupt the formation, Chen Zhi specially arranged two personal guards to follow Chen Luo, protecting his safety while controlling his whereabouts.

Ran Zhan said: "These Murong people really dare to take action? Didn't my lord help me when we besieged the city? Are you so ungrateful? Besides, they were afraid of Wang Jun before, but we even defeated Wang Jun. Now Shouldn't the crowd be afraid of us?"

Chen Luo immediately said with a bit of showoff: "This still doesn't make sense? The more we have helped them in the past, the more unwilling they are to admit it. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that they are incompetent? Therefore, anyone who mentions this matter will refute it! Again! To put it bluntly, this group of people used to be afraid of Wang Jun, but Wang Jun confronted my seventh brother and was finally defeated. This Murong family is constantly expanding its strength. He must feel that his own wings have become stronger, and he also feels that our Daijun soldiers We have a shortage of major generals. Even if we defeat Wang Jun, we will still be at a disadvantage when fighting in the fortress. Moreover, some spies must have reported back how many troops and horses we have, which will make them feel that there are few people. This will make them more courageous, and they must teach them a lesson. Let them know how powerful they are, so they can live peacefully in the future.”

When Ran Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but nod, feeling that it was very reasonable. Then when he looked at Chen Luo, his eyes changed and he became a little more respectful.

Chen Luo suddenly felt proud and felt that he was losing face.

Chen Zhi smiled again and said, "I think when you first came here, you faced the enemy but couldn't speak. Now under this majestic city, you can analyze the situation."

"Everywhere, my brother has taught me well. During this march, listening to my brother's teachings and watching your command, brother, I have certainly learned a lot." Hearing this, Chen Luo couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He was just trying to be polite at the beginning. , said that he wanted to go on an expedition with his brother, thinking that he would be a burden to carry around with him, so his brother would definitely agree. Who knew that Chen Zhi agreed on the spot, and immediately had Chen Luo leave with a look of astonishment on his face.

So under his father's reluctant eyes, Master Chen Ba was forced to join the army.

"This is not my credit," Chen Zhi shook his head, "After you took over Chenzhuang Business, you met more people and dealt with more things. Your way of dealing with people is naturally different. It is normal for your knowledge to increase. Previously, I didn't dare to speak. It was just that I was worried about the danger when I first arrived on the battlefield, so I was confused. Later, when I saw that our army was strong and the enemy was difficult to resist, I put aside my worries and showed my ability. From now on, the Youzhou Chen family will take root and be strong. Development depends on your management and operation, and I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

When Chen Luo heard this, he immediately became proud, with a smile on his face, but he still waved his hands in a pretentious manner, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are so complimentary, you really praise me so much. It is really difficult for me to bear such a heavy responsibility." Support, only with the support of my brother can we make a difference..."

"Don't rush to flatter me," here Chen Luo wanted to say something, but Chen Zhi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said, "However, the few settlements before you went to negotiate, and there is nothing wrong with it." If you can get what you want, it doesn’t show your ability. When the people from Thorn City come, you will receive them. I hope you can show your energy, so that you don’t lose the prestige of Daijun.”

When Chen Luo heard this, some of the heroic spirit that had just risen dissipated in an instant, and his face immediately fell, but he still had to nod in agreement.

It turned out that Chen Zhi brought him along not because of a sudden thought, but because he knew that this brother was good at dancing and negotiating with others, and he wanted to promote and cultivate him, so he often asked and compared him along the way, especially Murong. After Ren fled into those settlements, Chen Zhi even asked Chen Luo to go over and try to persuade him to surrender or persuade those settlements to submit.

Going out to negotiate with the enemy, that is, as an envoy, was too dangerous in Chen Luo's opinion. In the end, this boy was still timid. Even if there was a large army and personal soldiers to protect him, and he would not actually talk to Murong Ren face to face, he was still scared. We had to be on tenterhooks, even if we couldn't say anything, how could we persuade the enemy to surrender, so the matter never came to fruition.

In fact, Chen Zhi had long discovered that the small town where Murong Ren was hiding was not of the same mind as him. It was just because of Murong's power that he had to take him in. However, under the threat of Chen Zhi Bingfeng, he actually had some calculations and secretly wanted to surrender. meaning.

There was almost no risk in sending Chen Luo over, and it was more about training this brother. As a result, Chen Luo was afraid and performed abnormally.

But even so, although Chen Zhi seemingly conquered those settlements, he actually had contacts and agreements with the central tribes. After all, it was close to Youzhou, and many of the tribes had relied on Wang Jun's influence in the past.

Now that Chen Zhi came to Jicheng, he also wanted to make a statement and make a noise, so that the forces along the way could make decisions and facilitate the next step of wooing them. "If someone from Murong comes, it will definitely not be Murong Xin himself. I have to have someone come forward. You and I are siblings, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward. Moreover, this is our barracks, and there are many advantages in the camp. I won’t let anything happen to you, so it’s time to speak out boldly.”

After hearing what Chen Zhi said, Chen Luo smiled and nodded again, saying that he promised not to disappoint Chen Zhi.

He was in the military formation, but he could let go of his worries. Even though their number of more than 3000 people was a little short, Chen Luo knew very well that with such sharp weapons in the army, he would not be afraid of the enemy at all.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi smiled again and said, "Then go and make preparations first. Hongwu, go over and arrange the manpower. You have to deal with it in advance." After saying this, Chen Luo and Ran Zhan left one after another. Go, there are only two people left at the scene.

Apart from Chen Zhi, the other person was clearly Bao Jingyan, a famous scholar from the Central Plains.

When Chen Zhi was talking to his subordinates and brothers, Bao Jingyan did not interrupt. Instead, he often looked around, looking at the soldiers who were busy around him, or at the solid city in the distance.

After the two people left, Bao Jingyan took the initiative and said, "I heard that Jicheng City was reinforced twice in the past six months, and it is much larger than the original city."

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "The strength of the Murong clan has risen sharply. On the one hand, Wang Jun has to guard against us, and on the other hand, he has to put down the Pingzhou rebellion. The Duan and Yuwen tribes must also be subordinate to them, so that the grasslands in the north and northeast There is a power vacancy in the world, and the Murong family has naturally become the target of the small tribe to seek refuge. It is not an exaggeration to expand their strength and repair the city."

Bao Jingyan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Can the sharp weapon of the master also leave traces on this wall?"

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "You have to try it before you know."

"I wonder if Mr. Murong will give Mr. Fu a chance to try." Bao Jingyan also laughed.

Chen Zhi nodded affirmatively and said: "I believe they will. Since the Murong clan has risen, it must look like it is rising. There are so many pairs of eyes below looking at it, and they cannot retreat. I ask them for help." Murong Ren, they will definitely not agree to this, there will definitely be a backlash, just in time for me to take a beating."

When Bao Jingyan heard this, he put away his smile and said seriously: "So, from the beginning, the Lord led the army here just to scare the Murong family? But if something goes wrong, these 3000 people will probably be very powerful. It’s hard to escape intact.”

Chen Zhi then said: "I had made arrangements for the queen and the accompanying troops when I left, so I came out from Shanggu. This place is close to the Yan Kingdom, so it is not difficult to return. And I can't let Murong go." Family, they first made good friends with me, but then they fell out with each other. Murong Ren even killed and injured many Han people. If they are not punished, the surrounding tribes will inevitably intensify their behavior and harass them with endless provocations. And the Han people in Youzhou will also They will not feel at ease, and it will be even harder to return home quickly. The only way is to let them know that anyone who hurts the people of the Han family must be punished no matter how far away they are. Besides, the Murong family definitely wants to fight, and I want to fight too, so I just give them a warning. , this is also for their own good, so as to prevent the Murong clan from expanding in the future and forcing me to destroy them."

When Bao Jingyan heard this, he was stunned. Well, you planned to beat him up a long time ago. It's better for him. Thinking of the power of the sharp weapon in the army, Bao Jingyan couldn't help shaking his head secretly. In the end, Chen Zhi originally won Youzhou and was about to recuperate, nourish the people internally and cultivate merits externally, so he didn't want to send troops, but you Murong took the initiative to provoke.

Thinking this way, after a while, Bao Jingyan said: "Your Majesty really has a plan, so I can rest assured that I can record the weather and landforms outside the Great Wall with peace of mind."

After hearing this, Chen Zhi smiled and said, "I'm going to do this, sir. When the book is completed, it will be a good talk and benefit all the people."

Bao Jingyan waved his hand and said, "This book was written in accordance with the master's instructions. Bao does not dare to take credit."

Da da da!
Just after the conversation between the two people here ended, there were many horseshoes and footsteps in the distance. Following the sound, one could see smoke and dust billowing out of Thorn City, heading straight for this place.

Soon, the soldier Chen Ju came over to report that someone from Jicheng was leading an army and wanted Chen Zhi to go over and answer.

"Let me go out into battle?" Chen Zhi shook his head, "This is to give me a warning, but the right way is to be polite first and then attack. When you invite people to the big tent, let's say a few words first."
