Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 961 Exploded while talking and laughing

"Reporting to Shanyu, the enemy troops have formed up and come out of the forest in one army. They are approaching our city. They are mostly soldiers and a small number of cavalry. In addition, there are several covered carriages, which seem to be Single-shot cannon, approach slowly."

After listening to the reports from his spies, Murong Xin stood at the top of the city, looking at the woods in the distance with a thoughtful look on his face.

Thorny City, which has been renovated and expanded, has towers built on the four walls. It is very solid and resembles a fortress standing on the city wall, leaving only a few gaps to peek into the outside world.

At this moment, Murong Xuan was standing among them, looking at the soldiers and horses that were slowly walking out of the woods.

"Chanyu, if a war breaks out, you have to go back immediately. It's too dangerous to stay here," Murong Yun was admonishing from the side. It seemed that he was one of the commanders defending the city this time, and there were several people around him. Send messages to soldiers, coming and going.

After hearing this, Murong Xin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, a certain family is here and will not interfere with your command. I am just curious about how Chen Shouyi will act, so I came here to take a look."

"Three thousand soldiers and horses," Murong Yun also began to ponder, showing a thoughtful look, "not to mention these people now, even the 3000 people in the original intelligence, if they want to besiege our Thorny City, they will be crazy. After all, this is Chen Zhineng defeated Wang Jun not by attacking the city, but by using a strategy."

Murong Xin nodded, with a hint of regret in his words: "Wang Jun is also a generational hero. A certain family has always treated him as a rival in their hearts, but he was defeated by the plan. It is really sad. If he could be here today, I can avenge Wang Jun by defeating Chen Zhi outside Jicheng City."

After hearing this, Murong Yun immediately praised: "Brother is worthy of being a hero, with such a big heart, but having said that, Wang Jun is indeed a hero of his generation, but he was killed by a trick this time. If Chen Zhi attacked with an upright soldier, The attack and the siege of the city will definitely not come out so quickly, so our department has to urgently adjust the response method, which messes up the situation in the north. Looking back, Wang Jun must also feel regret for not being able to eradicate this problem in time. Hidden danger! But if he knew what his brother said, he would definitely feel sympathy for him."

Murong Xi laughed when he heard this, but he accepted it rudely. After all, with his current power outside the Great Wall, he could compare with Wang Jun. However, before the siege of the city, Murong's tribe was determined not to be able to compare with Wang Jun. , so these words still contain more elements of flattery.

Fortunately, Murong Xuan was not stupid after all. Although he was happy in his heart, he also knew the urgent task. He waved his hand and said: "It is superfluous to say all this now. Chen Zhi is leading the troops below the city. I still think about how to get it as soon as possible." This person is by no means a stupid person, he must have someone to rely on here, but with 3000 people, he will definitely not be able to break the city, so he probably has the intention of secretly attacking Chencang."

"At this time, I have also thought about it," Murong Yun narrowed his eyes, as if he had a plan in mind, "I have thought about the process of Chen Zhi defeating Wang Jun. It was all a ruse. There were many attacks from the east to the west. The so-called siege at the moment must be It was just a bluff, hoping that we would focus all our attention on his attack on the city and ignore other things, and finally let him achieve his goal secretly."

"Oh?" Murong Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "What you said is similar to what Kuai'er said. He also thinks so, and he also made some speculations. I don't know what you think about it. Then What is Chen Zhi’s real purpose?”

"Hai'er also noticed this?" Murong Yun was slightly moved in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, and then smiled and said: "Actually, it's quite simple. Since we know that Chen Zhi can't break the city, he must not have this ambition. He is planning to seize others. My brother is thinking that there are probably three possible purposes for this person."

Murong Xuan suddenly became interested, recalling his son's speculation, and asked: "Which three?"

"First of all, he hid about 2000 people, which may be the key," Murong Yun said seriously, "The 2000 people are not a threat to our Jicheng City, but what if they are a small tribe?" "What do you mean? Really?" Murong Xuan has already understood, and this is not much different from Murong Huang's analysis.

"Yes," Murong Yun nodded and said firmly: "I think Chen Zhi's purpose is to use the remaining 2000 people to break up the surrounding tribes and forcibly integrate them, and then weaken our strength. He is outside the city These three thousand soldiers and horses are basically bait, used to delay time."

"It's just that you are too brave, right?" Murong Xuan's eyes showed a cold light. For a tribe leader like him, a lot of power comes from the tribes that have surrendered. If anyone wants to touch this, they will poach him. The root of the problem cannot be tolerated no matter what. "If a certain family wants to eat these 3000 people, it will be easy! In fact, I plan to defeat these 3000 people right now, capture Chen Zhi, and hand them over to the court. They decided that Chen Zhi defeated Wang Jun and left Youzhou empty. Before he could consolidate his power, he fell into my hands. The entire Youzhou would definitely be leaderless, and Jizhou would be in chaos. We might have a chance. It is not impossible to serve as the Minister of the Han Dynasty and serve as the governor of Youzhou!"

At this moment, Murong Xuan seemed to be stimulated by Murong Yun's words, and Murong Xuan revealed an idea that even his brothers had not expected.

After hearing this, Murong Yun realized that this possibility was not impossible, but very high!

"In this way, Chen Zhi leading the troops here really provides me with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" The change in Murong Xuan's attitude towards Chen Zhi before and after the Battle of Youzhou flashed through his mind, "So brother, before , that’s why he didn’t stop Ren’er’s proposal, nor did he immediately withdraw his troops after Chen Zhi’s victory, that’s what he had in mind!”

"I am just giving it a try. If Chen Zhi is not greedy and does not go deep into the grassland, he will soon withdraw his troops, send cattle and sheep, apologize, and the two sides will get back on good terms. They will continue to maintain the superficial calm and wait and see what happens. But since he has led the army, he still comes in person, so this opportunity must not be missed! If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences! "

Speaking of this, Murong Xuan's voice revealed a sense of pride.

"This is Murong's rise, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I have sent an order to mobilize 20 soldiers and horses around us. We will arrive in three days. When the time comes, I swear to keep Chen Zhi here!"

Murong Yun was sincerely convinced and sighed: "I originally thought that my thinking was more comprehensive, but it is still not as broad-minded as my brother. For my second choice, I originally thought that Chen Zhi only dared to rely on the support of the Han court. 3000 people came here to delay, and now it seems that no matter how many people he has, it is useless! How can he compare with my brother’s ambition!"

"Hahaha!" Murong Xin laughed, looked at his brother, and said: "Stop flattering, tell me about your other two speculations..."

"Brother Chen..." Murong Yun started to say with a smile, but at this moment...

Boom!

There was a sudden explosion below, and then in Murong Xuan's field of vision, the wall exploded. His brother Murong Yun, who was very close at hand, was hit by some high-speed heavy object. His entire head deformed, twisted, and finally exploded, with red and white objects flying everywhere. Suddenly, the house collapsed!
