Chapter nine hundred and seventy-two Chen's town is quiet, my family is in danger
Huhuhuhuhu...
That night, a strong wind suddenly hangs outside the frontier. The wind is so strong that even the flags on the flagpole are rushing, and there is a tendency to be hung upside down at any time.
After meeting with several envoys, Chen Zhi asked someone to send everyone away. Before the wind blew, he ordered the soldiers to stop attacking and defend on the spot.
Therefore, when He Jing returned to the city, this heroic city, which had already been trembling in the artillery fire, rarely ushered in the peace of the night.
However, feeling the strong wind hanging by his side, he looked back at the cracked and collapsed city wall with a worried face and sighed.
"Why did sir sigh?" Seeing this, the person following him asked. This man was the one who went out of the city with him to meet Chen Zhi. "Didn't he have made a decision with Chen, and as long as he can understand the Young Master, he can relieve the danger in the city?"
"I sigh because the Chen family is about to rise." He Jing did not hide it, because this person who followed him was also his close friend and one of Murong Huang's confidants, so he asked him to cover up in this sensitive period. "Not to say anything else, it is the sharp weapon outside the city, how cruel it is. Even the dull mud knife wall can hardly stop it. Fortunately, he has stopped the offensive now. Otherwise, with the wind, the sky thunder fire emitted by the iron barrel will pass by the wind, and will definitely cross the line of the city wall and fall directly into the city. In this way, it will be dangerous."
When the other man heard this, his face changed suddenly. Then he couldn't help but nodded, his face full of fear, but he calmed down and said, "However, when I heard you negotiate with General Chen just now, I knew that although this man was firm in his will, he was not a person who killed indiscriminately. There were many people in Jicheng, and many of them were Han family members. I guess General Chen would not take advantage of others' danger, otherwise why would he have to stop attacking? If it were Yuwen, Duan, and Tuoba, people would probably want to take advantage of the victory and force the city to agree to his conditions."
After hearing this, He Jing looked at the friend in front of him deeply, then sighed, "This is what I worry about the most. Even if you think so, what will happen to other people?"
The man was stunned at first, and then he understood, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "What do you mean by sir?"
"This Chen family is even more dangerous than the Wang family before. This person is in charge of Youzhou. Once he is firmly in charge, the northern clan may not have any thoughts of making a big fuss." He Jing shook his head and pointed to the city. "Many Han people in this city can't live in Youzhou and other places, so they go out to make a living. This gives me the opportunity. If they think Youzhou is a place where righteousness is, what should we do?"
"Of course I stayed in my hometown and would not leave my home." The man also knew the nature, habits and looked ugly. "And Chen Zhi was a famous scholar, literary master, and a famous scholar in the Central Plains. He must have understood the Confucian righteousness and knew how to win people's hearts. But the war was even more powerful. Since he came to the north, he had never lost several battles!"
He Jing added: "Not only are the war powerful, but he is also very good at managing local areas. I will not say much about the ceremonies he compiled. Just the "Qimin Yaoshu" can be said to be a farmer's confidentiality. I have been working on farming for the past six months, relying on the little skills I learned from "Qimin Yaoshu" to really increase the output of our land outside the land in Jicheng. Think about what the original key technique was implemented in Dai County? If it spread to the entire Youzhou in the future, what would it be?"
"This..." The man was dumbfounded. As a friend, he certainly knew how high the agricultural work had improved in the past six months under He Jing's support. "I'm afraid that if the development continues, it is not the Han people in the Middle Land who come here to survive, but the people here are trying every means to mix in Youzhou to get enough food!"
"That's right!" He Jing felt his mood getting heavier and mentioned another thing, "I wonder if you have noticed that although Chen attacked the city, he did not hurt the farmland outside the city. Some crops were damaged, and they were still at the feet of Murong soldiers who had been ordered by the Shanyu to mobilize the past."
The other man suddenly wrinkled and said with a worried expression: "Whenever attacks the city, there will be any act of destroying grain and robbing harvests. When Wang launched an army to attack Chen, he would have the idea of harvesting in advance before the wheat was ripe. Other military strategists also had the act of destroying grain and grass to weaken the enemy."
"Yes," He Jing sighed, "but in this way, the people who really suffer are often the people. However, the Chen family did not do this, leaving all the food behind. Afterwards, even if the Shanyu organized people to blame the Chen family for the destroyed crops, if this continues, the name of Chen's benevolence and righteousness will gradually spread, which will eventually have an impact."
"In this way, it is indeed worrying. This person can be civil and military, and has a reputation. If we win over the people like this, how can our clan have a foothold? The people who raise the clan are in danger!" His friend couldn't help but worry. He thought for a while and suggested: "Then he can drive the people to attack the city, forcing him to kill, so as to ruin his reputation!"
He Jing shook his head and said, "This matter is not that simple. Chen Fujun said it very clearly. Killing the enemy on the battlefield is respect for the enemy. He attacks the people. If he wins in the end, it would be fine. If he loses, he will be detrimental. If the Murong tribe wants to rise, he must not do the Duan tribe's trick, otherwise he will be self-severing!"
As he said this, he arrived at a street. When He Jing saw this, he closed the topic and said, "These are all later things. Let's have a headache in the future. The most urgent task is to solve the siege as soon as possible."
His friend nodded, swallowed the words in his mouth, and said, "It should be done, so I'd better give this situation to the young master clearly first, so that he can decide, alas..."
Thinking of the conditions proposed by Chen Zhi, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
……………………
"Ceal the land?" After hearing this condition, Murong Huang immediately shook his head like a conditioned reflex, and then looked at He Jing very sternly. "Sir, it should be known that this is a false reputation. Except for Jicheng, the control of other territory is not reliable, and there are no local organizations such as counties. It would be fine if someone stolen, but if it is cedes, the reputation would be bad, and I would not allow it."
He Jing nodded and then said, "How can I not know this key? Chen Fujun also understands it. So his proposal is to take out the three ranches in the west that were sorted out by Murong Ren and hand them over to the seventh-grade Xianbei!"
"What?" Murong Feng frowned and thought after hearing this.
Their Murong tribe is not a pure nomadic tribe, but still has many nomadic habits. Murong Ren went west and went south to provoke Youzhou, but more of it educated scattered tribes, occupying part of the land centered on the three grasslands, directly bordering the Tuoba tribe, and this part of the land proposed by Chen Zhi was this part.
"The seventh-rank Xianbei is the slave of the Chen family. What's the difference between giving it to them and giving it to Youzhou? No, it's not Youzhou, but his Chen family's private servant. There is a deeper meaning here..." Murong Feng thought about it, and was about to speak when he suddenly rushed in from outside. He then saw a servant leaning over with anxiety on his face and said, "Shanyu... Shanyu is awake!"
