Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 976: Conspiracy to alienate the different clans

Chen Zhi's words immediately stunned He Jing.

Not only him, but also several people who came with him were also surprised, and the generals and staff of Daijun who were sitting around Chen Zhi were also surprised.

This kind of thing can be said to make them feel shaken in their world view. The person who came across from them was clearly representing the Murong family, and came to negotiate as an envoy for the purpose of armistice and withdrawal. However, the result has not yet been announced. You You first recruit the other party's envoys in public. How is this reasonable?
However, after the initial surprise, many people settled down and thought about it, and felt that this was not so unexpected, especially when combined with Chen Zhi's previous words, it seemed to be quite meaningful.

After all, this peace negotiation, to put it bluntly, is an alliance under the city. When the Murong family was strong, there was a time difference, so they had to temporarily retreat and compromise. It was inevitable that they would not be convinced if they were replaced by anyone.

However, this kind of thing was not uncommon in past history, and it will be even more common in future history. The Central Plains dynasty had a vast territory and many soldiers, but it often suffered losses and gave in in local wars because of various factors. Under the circumstances, this comprehensive strength cannot fully fight the enemy, so it is lacking. The same is true for Murong's department.

But no matter what the reason was at the time, people would criticize things like this afterwards, and they often ignored the causes and consequences and directly attributed the blame to a certain person. Li Zhongtang of the Qing Dynasty in later generations was a representative of various kinds.

In Chen Zhi's view, He Jing in front of him has a good chance of becoming "He Zhongtang", but compared to Li Zhongtang, He Jing's situation is worse. After all, this status is far inferior, and in Murong's department In other words, he is not indispensable. This time the alliance under the city is certain, the problem is worrying.

Everyone was still thinking about it, but Chen Zhi didn't want to stop talking, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you make a decision with me this time, nothing may happen in a short time, but I'm afraid you will suffer disaster after a while, why don't you come?" Chen is here in Youzhou. It is the time when manpower is needed. With Mr. Chen’s knowledge, as long as he can pass the screening test, he will be put to good use. Chen does not dare to say that he does not care about the quality of his people, but he will definitely not stick to a certain pattern. ,how?"

Soliciting in public is reasonable, even He Jing is vigilant and flustered, he will inevitably make a slight move, but then he secretly yelled that it was not good, turned his head to look at his companions who came with him, and realized that the problem was serious, knowing that Chen Zhi This is digging a hole for yourself!

Therefore, he did not dare to let Chen Zhi continue talking, in order to prevent the question from getting more outrageous and causing endless hidden dangers. Even now, he would inevitably be suspected after returning.

"General, if you have any requests, just say so. There is no need to resort to such estrangement."

"Chen really means it," Chen Zhi shook his head, and then changed the subject, "Since you have a loyal heart and don't want to follow me, that's all. But you also know that Chen had sent people to contact the Han people in the city before. Contact with the family members, and most of them know Chen. Since Mr. Chen is unwilling to return, it is better to let the Han people in the city return. I know that many people in this city are forcibly detained..."

"This..." He Jing's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, how did he know?I have no idea at all!It's nothing at all, don't talk nonsense!
But he knew very well that even if he defended himself at this time, it would be of no use. He turned around and glanced at the few people who came with him. Sure enough, he saw that the expressions of these people were a little wrong. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, knowing that such people were openly plotting to alienate each other. However, it is impossible to guard against it and there is no way to defend it, because it targets the human heart and human nature, especially making the superiors suspicious and difficult to crack.

At this time, there was actually no distinction between ethnic groups in later generations. The so-called differences between tribes and Han families were more in terms of living habits, etiquette, clothing, etc. The idea of ​​traitors was not popular, so many bachelors from poor families would defect to foreign races. In order to achieve success.

But in the final analysis, the two ethnic groups are different, which reflects the saying that their hearts must be different. There are many suspicions in the tribe, coupled with the "confirmation" of the enemy's words, even if they know that there is something evil, it is difficult to control not to go in that direction. To think.

In view of this, He Jing really didn't dare to listen to Chen Zhi's words anymore. He immediately expressed that he wanted to go back and ask for instructions. Then he became unwilling to stay any longer and hurried back to report to the city.

However, as soon as his request was passed on, Murong Xin immediately vetoed it, and said that if he really wanted such conditions, it would be better to fight.

Seeing that the other party was resolute, Chen Zhi also took a step back. After all, when he mentioned this matter, he didn't really want to take anyone away, but just to bury a nail and plant a seed.

"This Murong family is really ungrateful! At this time, you still dare to refuse your brother's proposal. It is simply shameless. If there is a chance in the future, you must let them know how powerful you are!" It was different from when he came. At that time, Chen Luo was in high spirits. When he left with the army, he pointed at the distant city and couldn't help muttering. Fortunately, he knew the importance and didn't say anything wrong.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "They already know how powerful it is now, and they won't have the energy to expand for a long time."

Chen Luo heard doubts, but did not dare to ask. After Chen Zhi left to arrange his troops, he found an opportunity and came to Bao Jingyan to ask for advice.

Bao Jingyan's attitude towards Chen Luo also changed. After hearing this inquiry, he smiled and said: "Actually, what the prince said is right, because now he has influenced Murong's overall situation and carried out evil deeds. Therefore, the future of Murong's department will be very difficult." I'm afraid I won't have time for him to take care of me for a long time."

"How do you say this?" After hearing this, Chen Luo understood a little, but still couldn't figure it out. "But because of this attack on the city, the clans that were absorbed by Murong had different intentions?"

"This is only one aspect," Bao Jingyan nodded, "but now I have mentioned that going back will make the Murong clan suspicious of the Han people. You have also heard from the prince that the Murong clan is now promoting Chineseization and can rise quickly. In fact, they rely on iron smelting, farming, etc., and most of the craftsmen and farmers are actually from the Han family. Once ethnic conflicts arise, internal energy will be involved, and there will be another turmoil. This is rare. peaceful."

"So that's what happened..."

Chen Luo thought like this, and immediately relaxed his brows, feeling that his brother had indeed planned something far-reaching, and felt more at ease.

On the distant city wall, Murong Huang stood in the half-destroyed tower, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists as he watched the soldiers and horses retreat.

"This revenge must be avenged!"

Just as the thought fell here, several people rushed in to report that two more tribes had escaped privately.

"How brave! I really think that I, Murong, am going to fall. Chase me!"

But immediately someone advised: "Now that the armies outside the city are unstable, our troops and horses should be on guard to prevent accidents. It is really difficult to pursue them. The right way is to let the two troops go first and deal with them later."

Hearing these words, Murong Huang's face turned green and white for a while, and finally he sighed.

"Once word of what happened today spreads, I am afraid that this land outside the Great Wall will be troubled again, and the name of his Chen family will definitely be resounding!"
