Hearing what Wang Jun said, Youzhou Governor Wang Zan did not dare to mention it even if he still had many opinions in his heart. If he continued to sing the opposite, he would not be doubting the loyalty of Duan Ji and the Lu family, but doubting Wang Jun. The authority of destiny.
However, Youzhou Governor Wang Zan didn't say it, but someone else did.
Wang Jun was just about to slowly start touring his new mansion when he heard a hurried shout.
"Ming Gong, what's wrong! Duan Ji and Lu Juan are the thieves who want to rebel!"
As soon as the words reached the ears of Wang Jun and others, a military general in a hurry ran over.
"Sun Governor, how can you be so rude in front of Duke Ming!?"
You Tong immediately scolded.
It turned out that this general was another supervisor under Wang Jun, named Sun Wei. Although he was not a famous general, he had always served his duties loyally and was considered one of Wang Jun's trustworthy generals.
Sun Wei ignored You Tong's rebuke and spoke directly to Wang Jun.
"Ming Gong, it's not good. Duan Ji and his family have already arrived at Shihengwu. The thieves have no faith. There must be some deception when they come here..."
Before Supervisor Sun Wei finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Wang Jun.
"It's ridiculous. Duan Ji and Lu Juan just marched a little faster, so why did they become deceitful!"
Wang Jun's face was full of displeasure, and Sun Wei was a little scared when he saw this, but he still expressed his thoughts.
"Ming Gong, before Duan Ji and his family entered Shihengwu, they sent their cavalry to search for Wuhuan bandits and blocked the main routes between the Yan Kingdom. Now the news from Beiping and Yan Kingdom has been It doesn’t make sense, what you do is definitely a fraud.”
After saying this, Supervisor Sun Wei fell to his knees and begged.
"Ming Gong, I would like to ask you to send troops to stop Duan Bu. If he makes any move, attack and kill him!"
As soon as Supervisor Sun Wei finished speaking, Wang Zan next to him immediately followed suit.
"Ming Gong, Governor Sun has always been loyal and sincere, and has never acted in vain. Now the situation seems that Duan Bu is acting strangely, so we must be on guard!"
Hearing that Wang Zan was behaving like this again, Grand Governor Wang Jun couldn't help but frowned, and even raised his entire brows together.
"This is wrong. Governor Sun is loyal and conscientious in his work. Could it be that others are acting like Meng Lang?" You Tong interjected, "Duan Bu has always been a minion of Ming Gong, and now it has been common for him to act like this. Why is it like this?" Once it came into your mouth, it became deceitful and suspicious?"
When Wang Zan saw this, his blood immediately surged. However, just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Wang Jun's loud shout.
"alright!"
"Duan Wu Wuchen is my son-in-law, and Duan Ji Lujuan is my nephew. The way we act now is just an act of loyalty and filial piety."
"Now that Duan Ji and his family members have come to serve, Shi Le will lead his people to join him soon to fight against the traitors in Qingzhou. We will be able to wipe out the traitors soon. If anyone dares to slander Duan Ji and his family members again, I will kill them without mercy!"
After Wang Jun finished speaking, he swept away angrily.
Sima Youtong immediately followed closely, leaving only the supervisors Sun Wei and Wang Zan standing there dumbly.
After a long time, Sun Wei said a little lost.
"Fan Yang is in danger. Zaosong and You Tong colluded and led Duan's troops to come. Now there are few major generals in Zhuo County. If Duan Ji and his family members enter the city, who can stop him!"
After Wang Zan heard this, he immediately asked anxiously.
"Brother Sun, who is responsible for the defense of Zhuoxian City now?"
Sun Wei said with a bitter face, "Now the soldiers guarding the city are all under the jurisdiction of Youtong."
"It's over, it's over!" After hearing this, Wang Zan felt that his legs and feet were weak and he almost collapsed on the ground, "If Duan Ji and Lu Juan enter the city tomorrow, as long as they attack, they will win without a doubt."
"I'm afraid that by then, you and I will die without a burial place!"
After hearing this, Supervisor Sun Wei was also filled with despair.
"Brother Wang, what is the current plan?"
At this time, Sun Wei, the supervisor, knew that it was impossible to persuade Wang Jun to send troops. If he continued to persuade him, he might be killed first.
"There are so few soldiers in Fanyang County that we will definitely not be able to prevent Duan from attacking. You and I can only escape here as soon as possible. Otherwise, Duan's cavalry will arrive outside the city early tomorrow morning. If there is really an attack to attack the city, we will not be able to leave even if we want to." ah!"
"But, what if, what if, if Duan Ji's family members are really loyal and don't make any trouble, we leave the city without permission, wouldn't we be blamed by Duke Ming!"
"Of course we can't say that we want to escape. In the evening, we told Zhang Wu that there is military information in the south and we need to go immediately. In this way, we can sit back and watch what happens, so that we can be safe!"
"Ah? Brother Wang, you mean to go to Zhang Wu in the south? Don't you want to go to the north to find General Wang Chang?"
Wang Zan shook his head and said, "Wang Chang is cautious and short-tempered. Even if he has troops and horses, he may not be able to accomplish anything."
"But Zhangwu doesn't have many soldiers and horses. If we go to Zhangwu, how will we resist the attacks of Zao, You and Duan Bu?!" Supervisor Sun Wei said.
"Zhangwu is the closest to Qingzhou. After we arrive at Zhangwu, if there are changes in Youzhou, we will immediately send someone to contact Liu Yu of Qingzhou for reinforcements!"
"Liu Yu!?" Supervisor Sun Wei was obviously taken aback, "Liu Yu arrogated the title of emperor and betrayed the Jin Dynasty. He is the great enemy of the world."
"The world? Humph, how much of the world today still belongs to the Jin Dynasty?" Wang Zan was somewhat disapproving.
"However, since you and I are ministers of the Jin Dynasty after all, instead of defecting to Liu Yu, why not defect to Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou. His nephew Liu Yan also occupies Changshan Zhongshan in Jizhou. If we go to Jizhou, wouldn't it be a best-case scenario?" Supervisor Sun Wei Obviously, he never dared to betray the Jin family easily.
"I once led an army to attack and kill Liu Xi, a younger brother of the Liu Kun clan, on the orders of Duke Ming. Although Liu Yueshi had a command, he was not kind to others. If I surrendered, even if I survived, I would not be able to be used by him!" Wang praised. Said after taking a breath.
After hearing Wang Zan's words, Supervisor Sun Wei also felt something. In today's world, there are not many opportunities to become a rich man. Once he loses his power, he is very likely to become a tiger and wolf of all kinds. Eat by mouth.
Therefore, Supervisor Sun Wei also knew that no matter who he defected to, he should try his best to keep the power in his hands.
"Then if you vote for Qingzhou Liu Yu, can you do something?"
However, Sun Wei was not very confident about the future of defecting to Qingzhou's "Puppet Han".
"Zu Ti, a native of Fanyang, was recommended by Liu Yu as a general when he first arrived in Xingtai. Now Zu Ti leads his army to support the Jin banner and is still stationed in Zaoyang, but Liu Yu still recruits him as before." Wang Zan couldn't help but say this. He looked up to the south.
"I used to be familiar with Zu Ti. I think he is only an average talent, but he is so favored by Liu Yu!"
"I have been to the border states for a long time. Whether it is marching and fighting, or managing military supplies, I am not one or two points better than Zu Ti."
"One ancestor Ti can be treated so favorably by Liu Yu. If we can get along with each other in the Zhangwu County, we will definitely be able to do it!"
When the governor Sun Wei heard this, he immediately made up his mind.
"Okay, I'll go get my son ready right now. We'll go to Zhangwu in the evening to the south. Anyway, if Duan Ji and his family have any rebellious intentions, they'll know about it in a day or two."
"Yes, without further ado, let's go now!"
Jizhou, Xiangguo.
Shi Le, Duke Ji of Hu Han, was in the hall of the mansion at this time, pacing back and forth anxiously, as if waiting for something.
After a while, a Hu servant hurried in.
"General, Wang Zichun is back!"
When Shi Le heard this, his eyes immediately flashed.
"Bring it in quickly!"
Soon, a servant who looked like a Jin scholar was brought in.
This man was Wang Zichun, a talent discovered by Shi Le in the Junzi Camp. He was especially good at speaking skills. His colleagues in the Junzi Camp all praised Wang Zichun as having the skills of ancient Su and Zhang.
Right Chief Shi Zhang Bin had just been invited over by Shi Le at this time.
As soon as he saw Wang Zichun, Shi Le couldn't wait to ask.
"Wang Zuosi, how is the situation!?"
However, Wang Zichun quickly bowed first, then stood up and replied very proudly.
"General, please relax. Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, I have not failed to live up to the general's expectations after all."
Shi Le was overjoyed when he heard this, clapped his hands and laughed.
"Hahaha, okay, in this case, my humble words in my heart will not be in vain."
Wang Zichun continued quickly, "General, when Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, learned that the general was willing to submit to him, he was immediately overjoyed, especially after hearing that the general was willing to attack the Qingzhou puppets eastward as a way of repaying him. I was so happy that I couldn't help myself, and even rewarded the general with a lot of silk and silk, thinking that the general would be able to conquer the puppet Han in Qingzhou!"
When the right commander Zhang Bin heard this, he smiled lightly, touched his beard and said.
"Liu Yueshi is a famous man after all, and these machinations are not his specialty."
Shi Le was very satisfied and said to the right commander Shi Zhang Bin.
"Haha, Youhou is still very resourceful. Just a humble letter can prevent Liu Kun and Liu Yan from attacking us. In this way, I can fight with all my strength and no longer have to worry about the north. "
"Without the threat from Changshan and Zhongshan, we can use Zhao and Anping's troops as the north route and echo Wei Jun's troops from the north and south."
"In this way, the two-pronged attack will make the Qingzhou army exhausted. As long as Liu Yu dares to lead his army westward into Qinghe, he will be defeated and unable to escape."
Zhang Bin nodded when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, he said again.
"However, general, I just got a rumor that the puppet Han Liu Yu has surrendered Zu Ti and made him General Anxi, leading his army south to Liaocheng. This will create another flank threat. "
In Shi Le and Zhang Bin's original plan, they divided their troops into two groups. On the great plains of Jizhou, they took advantage of the large number of cavalry to carry out endless harassment and attack on the transportation lines of the "Puppet Han" troops who were leading their troops deeply. The intention is to bring down the armies of these "hypocrites" before a full-scale battle.
However, today's Zu Ti is always a variable. The location of Liaocheng is once again behind Shile's army. If Zu Ti's army is stronger, it is very likely to threaten the Hulu army on the southern front.
"Haha, I have never heard of who Zu Ti is before. Shi Hu has been defeated several times before, but Shi Hu was young and reckless."
In fact, for Shi Le, he had always wondered why Liu Yu valued Zu Ti so much.
From Shi Le's point of view, Zu Ti did not have a big name, nor did he have a strong force behind him, so it was a bit puzzling to be treated so favorably.
"This time, I will personally lead the army to the south. If Zu Ti dares to invade, I will definitely let him know how powerful I am."
Shi Le said confidently.
During the six months of managing Zhao and Wei, Shi Le worked hard to build an elite army from the beginning, all of which were equipped with the best swords, guns, armor, bows and arrows, and horses.
This time, Shi Le wanted to lead this elite army to avoid the humiliation of his previous failure.
In Shi Le's heart, he was neither afraid of the current ancestor Ti nor the Qingzhou bandit leader Liu Yu. The people he was really afraid of were the ordinary Qingzhou soldiers.
Because each of those Qingzhou soldiers looked ordinary, but they were always tenacious in the battle.
Therefore, the Southern Route Army led by Shi Le this time brought all the thousands of iron and horse troops he had carefully prepared.
Just to crush those Qingzhou soldiers who have "hard armor and powerful weapons".
Of course, if he met Zu Ti and others, Shi Le would not mind at all, and would teach these people with false reputations a harsh lesson.
"However, if the war starts this time, farming will probably be abandoned. I don't know how many people will starve to death this autumn."
Zhang Bin said suddenly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Once Liu Yu is defeated this time, the situation in Hebei will be under your and my control from now on. When that time comes, I will definitely rest and recuperate in Jizhou."
"After all, I am not the kind of person who likes to fight and kill. As long as I can repel Liu Yu's puppet Han army, I will definitely bring peace to Jizhou and bring peace to Youhou's hometown!"
"General, you have great ambitions, but you still have a benevolent heart. On behalf of the elders in Jizhou, Zhang Bin would like to thank the general for his kindness." Zhang Bin, the commander on the right, said very moved.
"Haha, you are so polite, Your Majesty, this is what we should do."
Bingzhou, Pingyang.
In the palace of the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong.
Today, there is finally a rare tranquility in the Xiongnu Palace.
There was no singing, dancing and feasting, no charming smiles from the concubines and palace people, and no more the sound of the Xiongnu generals drinking and making noise.
Because, in the main hall today, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was gathering all the clan members, generals and ministers who had been massacred in Pingyang City.
"Attack Chang'an! Attack Chang'an! It's just a ruined Guanzhong, what's there to attack!"
Hu Yanyan, the current Chariot and Cavalry General of the Huns and Han Kingdom, said very dissatisfied.
Because, just now, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong ordered someone to read the memorial of Shi'an King Liu Yao requesting supplies and continuing the attack on Chang'an.
This was already Liu Yao's third attack on Chang'an to no avail, but now he had to pack food and grass again, which immediately made Hu Yanyan, the general of chariots and cavalry, very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, the big enemy today is not Sima Xiao'er from Chang'an, but Liu Yu, the "hypocrite" who is entrenched in Yanzhou, Qingzhou!"
