"Lord, I wonder how the other side will respond?"

Just when the Murong people in the city gathered together to discuss how to deal with Chen Zhi, in a small forest outside the city, there were about 3,000 soldiers and horses, which were scattering.

In a place in the forest, there were four people gathered together, and the leader was Chen Zhi, and beside him, the young Ran Zhan was talking with some curiosity.

Beside Ran Zhan, there was a rich fat man who was not tall, and said with a smile: "The first thing I think of when I look at the people of the Murong family is definitely to save face, but I understand the minds of these big clans, especially the big clans like Murong Ministry, who have led a lot of people, and the importance of face is better than others, and it is estimated that it will not be long before someone will have to send someone over to promote his prestige." ”

After saying this, the fat man looked at Chen Zhi with a flattering smile and asked, "Brother Seven, do you think what I said is right?" ”

"Eighth brother, it seems that you have really grown a lot." Chen Zhi looked at the fat man and smiled lightly.

The fat man in front of him is his eighth brother Chen Luo, Chen Zhi went out this time and took him with him, but at the beginning, this cousin was worried about fighting on the battlefield, thinking that the sword on the battlefield had no eyes, if he was not careful, he would be able to confess his burden of nearly two hundred catties, but he did not dare to disobey Chen Zhi's intentions, so he had to bite the bullet, but he was extremely timid, a little bit of wind and grass, and immediately showed flexibility and speed that did not match his weight.

Because he was worried that Chen Luo's wanton running would disrupt the formation, Chen Zhi specially arranged for two personal guards to follow Chen Luo, protecting his safety while controlling his whereabouts.

Here, Ran Zhan said: "This group of Murong people, do you really dare to make a move? When the city was besieged, didn't the lord help him? So unthankful? Besides, they were afraid of Wang Jun before, but we even defeated Wang Jun, shouldn't this group of people be afraid of us? ”

Chen Luo immediately said a little sarcastically: "I still can't figure it out? The more we have helped them in the past, the more reluctant they are to admit it, otherwise wouldn't they say that they are incompetent? Therefore whoever mentions it, they will refute it. Besides, this group of people used to be afraid of Wang Jun, but Wang Jun confronted my seventh brother and was finally defeated, this Murong clan is constantly expanding its strength, it must feel that its own wings are hard, and I feel that our Daijun soldiers are lacking major generals, even if they defeat Wang Jun, but they will be at a disadvantage when they go out of the fortress to fight, and there must be spies who will return back how many soldiers and horses we have, so that they feel that there are few people, and this courage will be strong, and they must learn a lesson, let them know that they are powerful, and they can live in peace in the future. ”

When Ran Zhan heard this, he couldn't help nodding, feeling very reasonable, and then looked at Chen Luo's gaze, and there was a change, and he was a little more respectful.

Chen Luoden was proud and felt a big increase in face.

Chen Zhi smiled again: "I think when you first came, you faced the enemy army, but you couldn't speak, but now under this Xiongcheng, you can also analyze the situation." ”

"Everywhere, it's the elder brother who teaches well, this way of marching, listening to the elder brother's teachings, and then looking at the elder brother, if you command, the younger brother has learned a lot." When Chen Luo heard this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, he was polite at the beginning, saying that he would go out with his brother, thinking that he was waiting for you to be a burden, and his brother would definitely agree, who knew that Chen Zhi should respond on the spot, and immediately let people leave with Chen Luo with a stunned face.

So this eighth prince Chen was forced to join the army under his father's reluctant gaze.

"This is not my credit," Chen Zhi shook his head, "After you took over the business of Chenzhuang, you have seen more people and dealt with more things, this treatment of people is different, and it is normal for your knowledge to grow, I didn't dare to speak before, it was nothing more than the first time I arrived on the battlefield, worried about the danger, and I was confused, and then I saw that our army was strong and the enemy was difficult to resist, so I let go of my worries and played a good job. ”

When Chen Luo heard this, he became proud, and his face smiled, but he still waved his hand modestly and said: "Brother praises me falsely, it really exalts me, such a heavy burden, the younger brother really feels that it is difficult to support, only with the support of the elder brother can he make a difference......"

"Don't be in a hurry to pat me on the back first," Chen Luo wanted to say something here, but Chen Zhi didn't wait for the others to finish, and said: "However, the previous settlements, let you negotiate in the past, but they didn't do what you wanted, and they didn't reflect your ability. ”

When Chen Luo heard this, the bit of arrogance that had just risen dissipated in an instant, and his face collapsed immediately, but he still had to nod yes.

It turned out that Chen Zhi brought him with him, not on a whim, but because he knew that this brother was good at dancing with long sleeves, good at negotiating with people, and had the intention to promote and cultivate him, so in the process of Murong Ren's escape, the envoy let Chen Luo contact him, especially after Chen Luo fled into those settlements, he even let Chen Luo go over, trying to persuade him to surrender, or persuade those settlements to surrender.

Sending troops to negotiate with the enemy, that is, the envoy, is too dangerous in Chen Luo's opinion, but this kid is still timid, even if he has a large army to suppress the formation and has the support of his own soldiers, he will not really have a face-to-face conversation with Murong Ren, but he is still scared, and he can't say anything, how to persuade the enemy to surrender, this matter has never been done.

In fact, Chen Zhi had already discovered that the small town where Murong Ren was hiding was not of the same mind as him, but because of Murong's prestige, he had to be contained, but under the threat of Chen Zhi's soldiers, he actually had plans and secretly surrendered.

Sending Chen Luo over, there was almost no risk, and it was more about training this brother, but Chen Luo was afraid and played abnormally.

But even so, on the surface, Chen Zhi broke through those settlements, but in fact, he had contact and agreement with the central tribes, after all, it was also close to Youzhou, and many of them were attached to Wang Jun's power in the past.

Now that Chen Zhi has come to Thorn City, he also wants to make a statement and make a move, so that those forces along the way can make a decision and facilitate the next step.

"If the Murong clan comes, it will definitely not be Murong Diao's own arrival, I also have to have someone to come forward, you and I are siblings, it is most appropriate for you to come forward, and this is our barracks, and there are sharp weapons in the camp, so you won't have an accident, you should rest assured and boldly say it."

Hearing Chen Zhi's words, Chen Luo smiled and nodded again, saying that he promised not to disappoint Chen Zhi.

He was in the middle of the army, but he was able to let go of his worries, don't look at the fact that there were more than 3,000 of them, but Chen Luo knew very well that there was such a sharp weapon in the army, and he would not be afraid of the enemy at all.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi smiled again: "Then let's go and prepare first, Hongwu, you go over to arrange manpower, and you have to deal with it in advance." As soon as he said this, Chen Luo and Ran Zhan left one after another, and there were only two people left at the scene.

In addition to Chen Zhi, the other person is Bao Jingyan, a famous person in the Central Plains.

When Chen Zhi was talking to his subordinates and brothers before, Bao Jingyan did not interject, but often looked around, looking at the busy soldiers around him, or at the fortified city in the distance.

At this time, after the two left, Bao Jingyan took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Thorn City has been strengthened twice in the past six months, and it has expanded a lot compared to the original city. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "The strength of the Murong clan has jumped, and Wang Jun has to guard against us on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to quell the rebellion in Pingzhou, and the Duan Department and the Yuwen Department must also be subordinate to it, so that there is a power vacancy in the grasslands in the north and northeast, and the Murong clan has become the target of the small department, and it is not an exaggeration to expand its strength and repair the city." ”

Bao Jingyan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Can that sharp weapon of the Fujun also leave traces on this wall?" ”

Chen Zhi smiled: "You have to try to know." ”

"I don't know if the Murong clan will give Fu Jun this chance to give it a try." Bao Jingyan also laughed.

Chen Zhi nodded affirmatively, and said: "I believe they will, since the Murong clan is rising, then there must be a rising appearance, there are so many pairs of eyes looking at it below, it is impossible to retreat, I ask them for Murong Ren, they will definitely not agree to this matter, there will be a backlash, just let me make a shot." ”

As soon as Bao Jingyan heard this, he put away his smile and said, "In this way, from the very beginning, the leader of the army came here to deter the Murong clan? But in case there is a difference, just these more than 3,000 horses, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the whole body. ”

Chen Zhi said: "The queen of the palace and the army that responded, when I left, I had already made arrangements, so I would come out of the upper valley, and this place is close to the Yan country, it is not difficult to return, and I can't let go of the Murong family, they first made friends with me, and the result was that they turned their faces and turned their faces, Murong Ren killed and injured many Han people, if they are not punished, the surrounding tribes will inevitably intensify, and the endless provocations will be overwhelming, and the Han people in Youzhou will not be at ease, and it is even more difficult to return quickly, only let them know, but those who hurt the Han family, Although it is far away, it must be punished, it is the right way, besides, the Murong clan must also want to fight, and I will also fight, just warn it, this is also for their good, so that the Murong clan will swell in the future, forcing me to destroy it. ”

When Bao Jingyan heard this, he was dumbfounded, okay, you have already planned to beat people, or it is better for others, thinking of the power of the sharp weapon in the army, Bao Jingyan couldn't help but secretly shook his head, hoping that Murong would know how to advance and retreat, so as not to suffer, after all, in the final analysis, Chen Zhi originally won Youzhou, and was about to recuperate, raise the people's power internally, and cultivate merit externally, and he didn't want to send troops, but you Murong took the initiative to provoke, if something really happened, it was obvious that he was asking for hardship, and he couldn't complain about others.

Thinking like this, after a while, Bao Jingyan said: "The princes of the palace really have a plan, so you can rest assured that you can record the weather and landforms outside the plug with peace of mind." ”

After hearing this, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Just as Mr. is going to do this, when the book is completed, it will be a beautiful talk, and it will also benefit all the people." ”

Bao Jingyan waved his hand and said: "This book is made in accordance with the outline of the king, and Bao does not dare to take credit." ”

Da-da-da-da!

As soon as the conversation between the two people here ended, there were many horses' hooves and footsteps in the distance.

Soon, Chen Ju, a personal soldier, came over to report that someone in Thorn City had led the army and wanted Chen Zhi to go over and answer.

"Let me go out?" Chen Zhi shook his head, "This is to give me a dismount, but saluting first and then soldiers is the right way, invite people to the big tent, let's say a few words first." ”
