Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 636 Huns can pass, Duanbu can pass, but you can't!

"Hurry up!"

The wind was howling, the sand and dust were rising, and a group of cavalry was moving forward quickly.

The man at the head was tall and bearded. He was Murong Han, the eldest son and concubine of Murong Xianbei's eldest son, Murong Xuan.

This general from Murong's tribe, under the orders of his lord and father, led two thousand cavalry to the aid of Chen Zhi, the prefect of Daijun.

However, they only set off after the siege of Thorny City was over. In addition, due to the losses incurred in the war, it took some time to repair and set off.

And the Murong tribe was in the northeast, even if they were traveling outside the Great Wall, they were running all the way, but their journey was delayed due to the consideration of their horse power and the presence of several other tribes in the middle.

While running fast, Murong Han was thinking about the news he had just received.

"Duan Wenyang's troops have already entered Dai County. There is news just now that Wang Jun has sent his own troops, led by Ruan Bao, to attack Dai County. The situation is very complicated. I'm afraid if my cavalry goes in, It won’t help the situation, but since that eunuch is helpful to my Murong Department, I can’t back down!”

Thinking like this, the cavalry he led slowly slowed down, because there were scattered carriages, horses, and tents in front of them.

There is a tribe stationed here.

"Haoshuai, the tribe in front is not in the record." A rider rode over and explained the situation to Murong Han, "This should be a small tribe that dispersed from the east after the siege of Thorn City. "

"Yes, that's it. Then ignore them and go straight over." Murong Han gave the order and sent a person to negotiate, and his subordinates followed them one by one, and soon the group of cavalry , left here so quickly.

However, in the process of leaving, he inevitably looked inside a few times, but what he saw were some frightened faces, and judging from the dress and appearance of these people, they didn't seem to be a fleeing tribe, but It was a huge gathering place for slaves. When many people saw the cavalry passing by, they shrank even more and wanted to dodge, but they had nowhere to hide——

The people who lived in the tents were coming out at this time, whipping and scolding them to quiet them down.

"Why are there so many slaves here?"

Murong Han was not in the mood or had the time to answer this question, because after a cup of tea, he arrived at the destination of his trip——

The junction of Guangning County and Dai County.

The deputy general next to him came over, carefully identified the terrain, and finally nodded: "This is where Wang Quan controls the troops stationed in the two counties, but since Guangning County experienced the catastrophe, he concentrated his main forces on Dai County, which is located in Dai County. At the junction, there are only two outposts that can be used as breakthrough points."

Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of drums in front, and then a group of soldiers and horses appeared, and the leader was Wang Quan.

"I am a garrison guard and have been ordered to guard the border. Please retreat as soon as possible!"

As the many soldiers roared together, Murong Han's face turned particularly ugly when he heard such a sentence.

"This man is really shameless. The Huns and Duan Bu were spared. Now that he has met me, he has remembered that he is a guard general again?"

He gritted his teeth, frowned, recalled the previous scene, and tried hard to know where he had exposed Xingzang. But in this situation, he had to try to avoid direct conflict with Wang Jun's men, otherwise Murong Bu would It’s not easy to explain either side.

Sighing, Murong Han called the deputy general and ordered: "Go and find someone to negotiate with Wang Quan and say... just say I'll wait, forget it, as long as we can find a reason for him to let us in."

When the deputy general heard this, he was confused: "This man is so shameless. If he had promised, we wouldn't believe it."

Murong Han was stunned immediately.

Yes, can you believe Wang Quan's promise?In case, he made a sneak attack from behind.

"That's not the case." Another deputy general came over, "Today is no different than in the past. It is only a matter of time before our Murong Division defeats the coalition forces and dominates the outside world. Wang Quanfan, if he still wants to continue in the position of defender, will inevitably I don’t dare to offend my clan. The most I can do is not let this person go, and I definitely don’t dare to cheat.”

When Murong Han heard this, he felt that this was reasonable, and then said: "Murong Jiang, I think among us, you have the most accurate view of the situation, so why not let you negotiate."

Murong Jiang was taken aback when he heard the words, then accepted the order with a wry smile.

On the opposite side, looking at the lineup of Murong's cavalry, Wang Quan felt uneasy.

On the side, there was a person whispering: "General Wang, why do you need to worry? The movements of the Murong tribe are all under the control of my Duan tribe. They only sent this one troop of soldiers and horses. As long as they are blocked, they will be defeated." Chen Zhi will have no support, and when the time comes when the prince will reward you based on his merits, your benefits will definitely be indispensable!"

Wang Quan said very bluntly: "Duan Ying, what you said is true, but if the negotiations with Murong Han are not completed and the delay is unstoppable, he comes over. This is the name of starting a war with Murong's department. I But I can't afford it, so I have to let you Duanbu carry it." Duan Ying felt contempt in his heart, but smiled and said: "Of course, but General Wang, you don't have to worry, this attack on Chen Zhi is an order from the prince. , it is because this person colluded with Murong's tribe and plotted evil, and now that Murong Han came to help, he was convicted! This stopping Murong Han was just in line with the prince's order! Besides, if you wait for a while, this generation of county town will be destroyed The news is about to come, and there is also news that even General Ruan Bao is leading his army to attack, so the victory or defeat is already decided."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan felt a little relieved and nodded slightly: "Well, I also sent Zheng Ru there. This person is my confidant and can speak well. With him here, maybe we can capture Dai County without a single blow!"

Duan Ying sneered in his heart, but praised: "In that case, this achievement may still belong to you, General. General Wang, isn't it beautiful that you have planned a strategy and destroyed the city hundreds of miles away?"

Wang Quan couldn't help but burst into laughter as these words struck a chord in his mind.

Wang Quan didn't know that Zheng Ru, whom they were talking about at this time, was standing next to Chen Zhi with a bitter look on his face. He looked at this elegant man and said cold words, feeling heartbroken and terrified.

"Duan Wenyang, you and other Xianbei people, bathed in the emperor's favor and enjoyed the status of vassal, but did not think about repaying it, led troops to invade, and attempted to besiege the city. Such treason should be beheaded!"

Chen Zhi was standing on a temporary platform and announced these things. Around him, several old grandpas, as well as the leaders of many aristocratic families, all had expressions of horror and doubt.

They did not expect that when such news came, when Ruan Bao arrived in the city, Chen Zhi would actually want to take these Xianbei people, and even...

Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but look behind the North Korean humble man.

Liu Jiang and others, who were pale and trembling, were standing there, and several of them were tied tightly.

Looking at them, not only Taigong Liu, the Liu family and others who were forced to come over to watch this scene had bad expressions, but also people from other families were also frightened.

In their hearts, there was fear and unwillingness, but no one dared to disturb Chen Zhi. They could only look straight at the struggling figures on the execution platform.

"Although Duan Wenyang is from Xianbei, he has already established a strong brand as a general. Killing him in public would be tantamount to a humiliation!" In the crowd on the other side, Wang Kuai was full of hatred and spoke in a low voice. He muttered, "And I heard that the prefect planned to send their heads to the general a few days after the owl's head was revealed to the public. This is no different from declaring war, especially when an army of the general is attacking. The present moment in Fadai County.”

"This is not a choice that the prefect can make," Lu Jian shook his head, "Now that the prefect has not been beheaded and his head has not been sent, then Ruan Bao's troops have already arrived, right?"

The news that Ruan Bao besieged the city is still blocked from the common people. This kind of news will bring chaos after all, but the aristocratic families who have their own news channels already know almost everything. Of course, Lu Jian and the other descendants of the famous families who went north also No exception.

At this time, although they were in the crowd, due to their status, they were almost surrounded by servants and guards. They were separated from other people and kept talking in low voices to match the noise around them. , don’t worry about being overheard by others.

Wang Kuai shook his head and analyzed in a low voice: "Isn't this the problem? Once a person is killed, how will he face Ruan Bao? Moreover, Liu Jiang and others have to be killed, so at this time, the prefect and the The aristocratic family may have to abandon its moral principles."

"The aristocratic families here are really stubborn."

Suddenly, Luo Yang, who had always been direct and straightforward, said something.

Several people around him immediately looked at him with strange expressions.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yang looked confused.

His friend Zhang Jingsheng explained to him: "This is not because they persist in admonishing and are rushing to embarrass the prefect, but because the prefect is a temporary official, which represents the authority of the court and the stability and overall interests of the local government. Of course, there are also Their own interests, and the land, population and money that the family guards in the local area are inherently contradictory. If one side is strong, the other side will be suppressed or even ignored. In this situation, it is not wise to keep repeating it. I don’t know, but it’s the family’s interests!”

Luo Yang nodded, and at the same time he understood why the expressions of several people were weird, because after all, their families were also aristocratic families, and they also had similar conflicts, but the people opposite them were not. The governor of a county is here.

After explaining, Zhang Jingsheng looked at the execution platform and sighed: "This incident will probably end in a lose-lose situation for both parties."

Such thoughts also appeared in the hearts of those heads of aristocratic families, but they had experienced previous intimidation and restrained a lot of thoughts and did not dare to show too much.

"Wait, wait!"

Many of them were thinking in their hearts that although Chen Zhi had the upper hand this time, Ruan Bao's arrival would definitely cause him some losses.

"let me go!"

At this time, Duan Wenyang, whose head had been pressed down on the execution platform, suddenly let out a loud roar. However, the burns he suffered earlier had already damaged his muscles and bones, and his physical strength was reduced by [-]%. This strength was also very limited, and he could not get away from the executioner at all. big hands.

But he still tried his best to raise his head, looked at Chen Zhi and sneered: "Chen Zhi! Don't be proud! I won't beg for mercy, but if you kill me, it will bring disaster to the entire Dai County! And it's right in front of you!"
