Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 790

As Wang Jun made up his mind, the order was directly passed out. In the next few days, the entire Jixian County and its surrounding areas were busy. The mobilization of troops and horses was still secondary. The key was the arrival of several generals. How could this be hidden? Can't live.

In addition to Ruan Bao, Wang Chang, who had previously led his troops to besiege Jicheng City, and Duan Ji, Lu Juan and others who belonged to Duan Xianbei were also summoned.

However, Wang Jun did not summon the troops for no reason. He was under the banner of preparing to respond to the court's call, go south to quell the rebellion, and control the chaos in Jizhou.

This excuse seemed quite sufficient to others, and under the banner of this excuse, it was logical for him to mobilize troops and transport grain and grass. In just a few days, the basic war preparations were almost accumulated.

No matter what excuses you use, it is difficult to escape the observation of those who are interested, so Wang Jun's movements were immediately spread to the surrounding forces.

"Wang Jun is planning to take action."

A few days later, in Murong Xianbei's Daji City, Murong Xin summoned a few confidants and said this straight to the point.

Someone immediately asked: "Wang Jun was in trouble with us before, and then became unstable internally. He went to Pingzhou in the east to pacify it, just to stabilize his prestige. Now he is going south to Jizhou. He probably plans to rely on this to make another profit." A fortune, I heard that his relationship with the Han court is quite tense, and now that he is in so much trouble, he might want to ease the relationship."

Someone else analyzed: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Jizhou is also a big state. Although it cannot be compared with those states in the south, it has a large population. Now that Wang Jun has conquered Youzhou and Hepingzhou, he doesn't dare to change our ideas. It’s natural to shift our thoughts to the south.”

"Didn't you say that the King of Jiangdu probably invited him? Maybe, this person was invited to send troops, the Great Chanyu. If he leads troops south, Youzhou will be empty. Should we take advantage of it?"

As he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Murong Xin who was sitting in the main seat.

Compared with half a year ago, Murong Xuan looked more majestic and solemn at this time. He sat there silently, allowing several family representatives in front of him to talk and discuss, but everyone knew in their hearts that he was the real one. The one who controls the situation and the rhythm.

Whether or not to send troops, when to send troops, and in which direction to send troops are all decided by the Lord Murong!
This kind of thing is actually not common among the Xianbei tribe. Even though the Murong tribe has advocated Hanization for many years, some traditions are still difficult to completely throw away, especially as a tribe, several major families and clans unite to rule together. It's just that Murong's department has greater power.

During the previous siege of Thorny City, this form of forming tribes through family alliances appeared.

However, as the siege was lifted, Murong rose to prominence. Murong Xin, who initially advocated resistance and successfully led the siege to victory, gained absolute authority after the war.

However, Murong Xin, who was familiar with the classics and allusions of the Han family, still seized this opportunity. Relying on the prestige he had just won, he adjusted and changed the power structure of the clan towards a more centralized form. He even used several sons to compete for the heir. Taking advantage of the opportunity, some of the power was gathered into the hands of several sons and then took over.

However, of course, such a process will not be smooth sailing. However, with the victory of Murong tribe, more and more tribes have submitted. Several tribes were directly intervened by Murong Xin and became almost direct descendants. Following the trend, Organize and train a new army.

In this way, power in one hand and military power in the other finally established Murong Xin's absolute authority in the Murong Department.

Now being watched by everyone, Murong Xin said calmly: "My Murong tribe now has a reputation on the grassland. People from all over the world come to support us. Now we can raise an army of one hundred thousand warriors alone! So many people are following us." , they all need to eat. During the previous winter, Thorny City opened warehouses to store grains to stabilize people's hearts and bring these tribes back home. However, before the city was besieged from all sides, most of the farmland was destroyed, and this year's harvest will not be good."

As a tribe with a strong Chinese culture, the Murong Tribe started farming after establishing Jicheng as its capital, and even attracted Han refugees. The area outside Jicheng was originally a place for farming, and there were bumper harvests from time to time, but the crops and fields, most of all, were Unable to withstand the trampling of soldiers and horses, the sequelae of the previous siege gradually appeared.However, the people present were not worried at all, because with the current power of the Murong tribe, they could collect offerings from other small tribes that submitted to them, and use the power of all tribes to support one tribe, and they would not starve to death no matter what.

But for this matter, Murong Xin obviously had other ideas.

"The Han family values ​​​​a person who cares about the people. Now that we have such prestige and all tribes surrender, we should not exploit them as slaves..." When he saw someone wanting to speak, he waved his hand, stopped the person, and continued: " I know what you want to say. We shouldn’t raise these tribes when they come to surrender, that’s right! So we let them fight! Instead of running around grazing and collecting food to satisfy their hunger!”

At this point, several people in the crowd had already heard the meaning behind it.

Then, Murong Xin glanced at everyone, and suddenly the conversation changed: "Do you think Wang Jun is going to attack Northern Hebei to share the worries of the imperial court?"

When they asked this question, many people looked at each other.

Murong Xuan looked at one person and said, "Murong Huang, tell me!"

"Chanyu," Murong Huang, who was tall and handsome, stepped out, "Wang Jun does not want to attack Jizhou, but wants to attack Youxidai County! That is his innermost concern!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.

Murong Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Murong Huang continued: "People like Wang Jun are the best at disguise and know how to judge the situation. He has great righteousness in Youzhou, but he can't occupy Jizhou when he attacks it. He will not sacrifice his troops in vain. What he did this time , It's just a plank road built openly to visit Chencang secretly, with the intention of Daijun!"

Murong Xin laughed loudly and stood up: "What my son said is reasonable and cannot rule out this matter. I, Murong, have good relations with Daijun. If Daijun is attacked, I will help each other, but it will not be a head-on confrontation, but an attack on Youzhou." The abdomen, in the words of the Han family, is to besiege Wei and rescue Zhao! If we can attack a rich place like Yan County, we will not only force Wang Jun to stop his troops, but also get craftsmen, iron tools, and salt! He previously besieged me in Jicheng and incurred a lot of blood debt. , it’s time to liquidate!”

Someone immediately tried to dissuade him, saying that Wang Jun was powerful.

After hearing this, Murong Xin's face darkened, but he also said: "Of course you can't be blind. If Daijun can defend, then help him to attack Youyou. If not, then retreat and attack Duan! You are all confidants. What we are doing today is Don’t say anything. If it’s rumored, kill them all, regardless of whether they’re close or distant! Scatter!”

With the tone set, everyone will respond.

Murong Huang was particularly excited. When he returned to his residence, someone came to report something.

"Oh? Then the Buddhist Dharma Notes want to invite me again, okay, come down, I happen to have something to ask him!"
