Chapter 274 Ji Sheng Xianbei
[After Shi Le gained a foothold in Xiangguo, the confrontation between him and the governor of Youzhou, Wang Jun, was inevitable. After all, no one wants to have a beast lying on the side of their couch.

Therefore, in December of the seventh year of Yongjia (313 A.D.), Wang Jun sent [-] troops, and together with Duan Moting and others from the Xianbei tribe in western Liaoning, sent troops to besiege Xiangguo.

At that time, Shi Le had just arrived in Hebei and had just established a base in Xiangguo. He was busy repairing the city wall and building infrastructure, and had no time to take care of other things.

Zhang Bin, Shi Le's first adviser, said to him: "We are very close to Jinyang and Jizhou now. We will build a base here. Wang Jun and Liu Kun will definitely be extremely afraid. They won't wait until we build the city and the city wall." He will come with an army.

Therefore, it is not appropriate for us to break away from Liu Han and declare independence. We should prepare food and grass while explaining to Liu Cong the intention of guarding this place.

After hearing this, Shi Le followed his plan. 】

[Although Shi Le's people are working overtime to build the city wall, dig the moat, and stockpile food and grass, building a city is not a one-day job.

The facts were just as Zhang Bin expected, the Xianbei army sent by Wang Jun had already arrived before the city walls of Xiangguo had been reinforced and the moat had not been repaired.

Although the city defense had not yet been consolidated at this time, facing the Xianbei army, Shi Le could only continue to strengthen the city defense while sending troops to fight.

However, Shi Le attacked several times, but they were all defeated. In addition, the Xianbei people were summoning craftsmen to make siege equipment, so Shi Le knew that the final decisive battle was not far away. 】

[At this critical moment, Shi Le summoned his generals to discuss, and all the generals advocated sticking to the tired enemy and waiting for them to retreat before attacking them.

However, in view of the current situation in the city, Zhang Bin believes that it is not suitable to last for a long time, and a breakthrough should be made first.

He suggested to Shi Le: "Nowadays, the Duan family is the strongest among all the clans, and Mo Ting is the most powerful. The courage of the soldiers is known to be in the Mo Ting place. Don't come back to fight and show them that they are weak. Quickly dig the north base as the second gate." There are more than ten roads, waiting for the thieves to line up to guard, but they are not sure, and they rush straight to the last tent. The enemy will be shocked, and they will not be able to plan. The so-called thunder is too late to cover their ears."

The meaning is: Our army will not go to battle for the time being, avoiding its edge, deliberately showing its cowardice, and then secretly digging more than [-] protruding gates in Beicheng.When the Xianbei tribe came to attack the city, they would lead the elite soldiers out of the gate to attack them unprepared, and while they were still in formation, they would go straight to their leader's camp and break it.

Zhang Bin's suggestion was perfect, but there were many uncertainties. But for Shi Le, the matter had come to an end, and they could only give it a go. 】

[In a few days, the Xianbei people, who were too lazy to take a long way, opened up in front of Beicheng. With the sound of a horn, the Xianbei people began to attack the city.

At this moment, Shi Le's elite soldiers who were in an ambush first roared out of the twenty big holes, and headed straight for the Xianbei camp!
The Xianbei army was really taken aback, they never thought that the Jie people would play tricks anyway.

However, with the passage of time, the Xianbei people were a little flustered at the beginning because of the unexpected actions of the Jie people, but as the war progressed, the Xianbei people's bravery in combat became prominent.

Under the leadership of general Duan Moting, the Xianbei army pushed Shi Le's subordinates back violently. Seeing that the plan had failed, Shi Le was at a loss for what to do.

At this moment, the situation of the battle changed dramatically.

The Xianbei general Duan Motui was so excited that he chased Shi Le's defeated army and ran into the city gate, that is to say, he ran into the enemy's old den. Shi Le saw it and immediately ordered him to be captured.

The Xianbei soldiers saw that even the brave Duan Moting had been captured, so they gave up the attack and chose to retreat. Shi Le's defense of Xiangguo won. 】

"This"

"Why do I feel like chickens pecking at each other?"

"After chasing the enemy, he actually chased into the enemy's lair and was captured alive??? Are you laughing at me to death?!"

[After winning the Xiangcheng defense battle, the soldiers demanded that Duan Moting be beheaded to show the public, but Shi Le resolutely stopped this proposal.

He said: Xianbei in western Liaoning had no grievances or enmities with us, but Duan Moting was just used by Wang Jun.

It is absolutely unacceptable to kill one person and end a country's grievances.

And if Duan Motao is released, they will definitely be grateful for my kindness, and they will never obey Wang Jun again in the future.

It has to be said that Shi Le's performance can be regarded as a bit of a hero. 】

【Shi Le intends to let Duan Moting go, but at this time Duan Ji, the Xianbei leader of the Duan Ministry, also sent an envoy to ask Shi Le for peace, and Shi Le readily agreed.

After the two parties negotiated peace, Shi Le sent people to form an alliance with Duan Jilu's family members in the camp, and made his nephew Shi Hu and Duan Jilu's family members become brothers, and he held a banquet in Xiangguo to entertain Duan Moting, and finally let him go go back.

Duan Mobei thought that he would die, but he didn't expect that instead of being killed, he would be regarded as a guest of honor, so he was very grateful, and in the end he even recognized Shi Le as his godfather.

On the way back, Duan Mobei bowed to the south three times to thank Shi Le for his kindness. After that, he and Wang Jun were inseparable.

In this way, Shi Le successfully pulled the powerful Xianbei Duan's troops into his camp through emotional win-win, and at the same time greatly weakened Wang Jun's strength. 】

"Well, it seems that I underestimated these barbarians too much before."

"It's all because I learned the culture of my Han family, and this group of barbarians even got crowned with monkey bathing."

"But in our Tang Dynasty, there were quite a few people from ethnic minorities, right? Look at Gao Xianzhi from Goguryeo, and Ge Shuhan from the Geshu tribe. Ge Shuhan even managed to become the Minister Zuo Pushe!"

"Those who are not of our race will have a different heart, so we should punish them!"

"Brother, don't be so murderous. I have heard that the people of these ethnic minorities are good at singing and dancing. Why don't you carry forward this and replace their martial spirit?"

"Hey, this idea is very strange, dare to ask brother Tai Gao's name?"

"My surname is Lu Mingyan, from Jiyang, Chenliu."

[After Shi Le reconciled with Xianbei Duanbu, Wang Jun no longer had any advantage in military affairs.

And his beloved general, Qi Hong, had also encountered Shile's army in a thick fog before, and was killed by Shibu. So far, Wang Jun has no more available generals.

However, Shi Le has been growing bigger, and the blow to him is indeed too great.

However, he did not reflect on himself and strengthen his strength, but for some reason he suddenly fell into a delusional self-confidence, and based on some inexplicable prophecy, he thought that he should be the emperor in his destiny.

In fact, although Wang Jun was a minister of Jin, he already had the intention of usurping.

For this reason, Zhang Bin suggested that Shi Le first pretend to be a vassal to Wang Jun, so that he can relax his guard, and then take advantage of the opportunity of giving gifts to launch a sneak attack, and a battle can be settled.

Shi Le thought this strategy was very good, so he first concealed his elite troops to show weakness.

In the eighth year of Yongjia (314), Shi Le began to act.

He sent a letter to Wang Jun, in which he praised Wang Jun to the fullest; at the same time, Shi Le wrote a letter to Wang Jun's favorite, Zao Song, sending a large amount of bribes, asking him to help him speak well.

Wang Jun had just been betrayed by the Xianbei Duanbu, and he was secretly annoyed, when he suddenly got Shi Le's letter, he must have some doubts in his heart.

At this time, the envoy argued: "Your prestige and life have spread far and wide, and both Hu people and Han people have admired them for a long time. How can it be compared with the power of our small Xiangguo? Since ancient times, Hu people have only been famous ministers." , but no one is an emperor. General Shi respects Duke Ming, which is in accordance with the will of heaven!"

After Wang Jun heard this, he believed it almost [-]% in his heart.

In addition, Shi Le announced that he would personally go to Youzhou in mid-March to persuade Wang Jun to proclaim himself emperor. Wang Jun finally got the trick and stopped guarding Shi Le. 】
