Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 969 After talking one after another

Accompanied by his own soldiers, Chen Zhi and his party passed through the position, arrived at the military camp, and headed straight for the big tent.

The situation in the military camp has stabilized. There is no longer the tense atmosphere when they were just besieged. Some soldiers are even talking together in twos and threes.

Of course, these soldiers were more or less injured, so they were mobilized from the front line and received simple treatment in the military camp. If they had not had this background, even if they had an advantage, no soldiers would be so forgetful.

On the other hand, Chen Zhi has also perfected the structure of the entire Daijun army in the past six months and prepared military caregivers for the soldiers and horses going on the expedition.

These people are often born in poverty. With Chen Zhi's support, they learned some superficial methods of dealing with wounds from some doctors and doctors in Dai County, and then they were grouped together and traveled with the army. Once there were injuries, they would immediately Provide treatment.

In this era, during a normal march, if a person is injured, the situation is definitely not good. A minor injury is fine, but at most it affects physical strength. If his comrades help him, it will not matter, but if it is a serious injury, not only It slows down the march, and because there is no combat power, it consumes military rations. They are often abandoned and die quietly in the end, with no benefit to their families.

This is where the common people don't want to be soldiers even if they can't live any longer.

However, the situation here in Dai County has now faintly changed. The salary is high, the food is good, the soldiers are well paid, and if something unexpected happens, the pension is guaranteed, and even if you are injured, you will be treated. This has gradually changed the situation among the people. Cognition, and after these soldiers were injured, they were no longer as heavy as before.

After greeting several wounded people, Chen Zhi came to the big tent. At this time, another person came over and whispered beside Chen Zhi: "Another person came from the city, and he said he was a messenger, but the person he mentioned was Murong Murong. His name."

Chen Zhi stopped and asked, "Since there is an envoy again, we naturally have to meet, but the one mentioned by No. 1 should not be Murong Huang, right?"

The man replied: "The envoy who arrived first said he was sent by the Murong family, but did not specify whose order he was on."

"In that case, don't let these two groups meet each other for now. You can take the second batch of envoys to the left camp."

Just as this man gave his orders, another person came over and said that another person claiming to be Murong's envoy had arrived.

"Arrange in the camp on the right. Don't let them meet each other, but you can reveal some information to let these people know. There is no need to ask too much about the rest."

"promise!"

As soon as the people left, Chen Zhi saw a look of confusion on Chen Ju's face beside him, and he smiled and said: "You can't figure out why this fight is still going on. Murong's Ministry sent envoys one after another, and they came with several envoys. Family, they don’t seem to belong to each other?”

Chen Ju looked embarrassed, but still nodded.

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "This is precisely because there is no real mastermind in the city. Even if everyone hates me, the fight for family property is more important than me. Therefore, I have changed from an enemy to an enemy." I can win over allies, and as long as I do it properly, it’s not difficult to get what I want.”

After saying that, regardless of whether Chen Ju understood it or not, he walked into the camp first. Chen Ju looked like he was thinking hard and led people to guard outside the tent. He also arranged personal soldiers to guard inside. Chen Ju acted as Commander, always pay attention to what is going on inside the camp.

Afterwards, the camp became quiet, but soon someone started yelling loudly. The voice sounded unfamiliar, and Chen Ju knew it was from the envoy, and he could taste that it was full of anger, shame, etc.

Although there was no signal in the camp for such a big movement, Chen Ju thought about rushing in with his brothers, and the noise inside calmed down again.

After a while, Chen Zhi was seen walking out, saying to the left and right: "Arrange manpower to send this envoy back to the city." Chen Ju accepted the order, made arrangements, and then saw the envoy who had just entered. He walked out with a pale face, his head was still covered with sweat, and he didn't know what he said to his lord.

After sending people away here, Chen Zhi rushed to Zuoying without stopping to meet the envoy representing Murong Huang.

There were two messengers here. The leader looked a little flustered, but the one next to him, dressed as a subordinate, looked as usual. After meeting Chen Zhi, the subordinate took off his beard and hat, revealing his true appearance.

"It turns out to be Mr. He. I haven't seen him for a long time. Now it seems that his style is still the same." When Chen Zhi saw the man, he smiled and greeted him. It turned out that this subordinate was He Jing in disguise. After meeting Chen Zhi, , revealing his true appearance.

Facing Chen Zhi's greetings, He Jing responded with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "You are so polite, Mr. Fu. I'm really worried this time. I hope Mr. Fu can be more lenient in view of our past friendship."

Chen Zhi just smiled and did not answer. Instead, he pointed to the seat and said, "Originally, I was thinking about how to determine whether this was an envoy sent by Murong Huang. I can be sure after meeting Mr. It’s not that Murong Zhao who was spreading suspicion in his old place.”

Seeing that Chen Zhi ignored his suggestion, He Jing sighed secretly, but when he heard the last word, he couldn't help but become nervous: "Have you already met Murong Zhao's people?"

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, I met Murong Zhao before I came here. He agreed to many of my requests. He just hopes that I can withdraw my troops. Do you think I should accept his words?"

He Jing was surprised, but his face remained calm and he just asked: "I wonder what conditions Murong Zhaodu promised?"

Chen Zhi did not hide anything and said: "It's simple. I came here to interrogate the fugitive. Murong Zhao is willing to hand over Murong Ren, then withdraw his troops and send our army off respectfully. From now on, there will be cattle and sheep every year." Paying tribute can be regarded as giving enough face and being sincere."

Murong was now a powerful figure outside the Great Wall, and his popularity was unparalleled for a while, so he was able to persuade many ethnic groups to take the initiative to defect. If Murong Zhao acted like this, he would obviously bow his head and admit defeat, and still have to pay tribute, which would lose both face and dignity.

However, it can be said that he is willing to spend money!
This is because the current group of Murong disciples in the city, especially those who have ideas about Shan Yu's position, all hope that they can lead the retreat. Then they can naturally lead the subsequent restoration matters and reshape order, even if Murong Xuan woke up and was furious at the result of this treatment, but he also had to take into account the actual impact of this incident. In order to stabilize the hearts of all the people under Murong's command, he had to swallow this bitter pill first and maintain Murong's prestige. !
This Central Plains dynasty has a tradition of promoting war and peace. Those who advocate peace talks are often regarded as losing power and humiliating the country. However, after the peace talks, some not only did not step down, but became more powerful. Why is this?It is because of internal problems that erupt under the coercion of foreign enemies. We must first free up our hands to sort out the internal affairs and stabilize our rule.

In the final analysis, these achievements are actually the icing on the cake. Maintaining dominance is the foundation of everything. Even Murong Xin has to admit this. Therefore, those who can stand up at critical moments may not be punished even if they lose something. Murong Xin woke up and pursued the case.

What's more, peace talks are often a time to eliminate political opponents. If you can seize the opportunity and eliminate several competitors in advance, then even if Murong Xuan wakes up, he may have no choice. He may even take this opportunity to get It is not impossible to contend with authority in different courts.

In the final analysis, internal issues take priority. Even revenge after the incident must wait until internal disputes have been settled to prevent the various tribes from dispersing and falling apart. In this process, the leading person can undoubtedly establish prestige and lay the foundation for future succession. , because in the final analysis, this prestige is for others to see, and Murong Xin was seriously injured this time, and it is hard to say what the outcome will be, not to mention that the injury will not recover in a day or two, and in fact, his prestige has been compromised. .

Of course, relying on the soldiers and horses in the city and outside the city, you can also withhold it by force and wait for the surrounding reinforcements to arrive, but this is a choice for the Murong family. Specifically, they are not willing to do so when it comes to the children who long for the position of Shanyu. Put it off for so long to avoid unnecessary complications.

He Jing knew this truth very well, but he was also surprised by Murong Zhao's courage, because this almost touched Murong Xin's bottom line. What if the old Shanyu woke up, got furious, and punished indiscriminately? The gain outweighs the loss, which can be said to be very risky.

But in the face of such a situation, Murong Hui had to follow up. Because of this matter, we couldn't bet on whether Murong Xin could tolerate it!

So, after thinking about it, He Jing said: "The Lord is a sensible person, so he should know that these words are empty talk and cannot be trusted."
