Chapter 379 Decentralization (Part 2)

The sky was getting darker and dusk was about to end. The dark army in the wilderness rested on the spot, waiting for the results of the discussion between the Central Army. The soldiers and generals kept in an orderly formation, but they lowered their heads and whispered with each other, and communicated continuously, and the noise gradually attracted attention.

The tense atmosphere turned into a gust of impetuousness, and everyone felt that today's negotiations would be difficult to achieve a satisfactory result.

Shi Le's attitude seemed to be on par with Murong Ting. This was the order of His Majesty the Emperor, and he did not dare to disobey. But Shi Le, a guy who is good at tolerance, was so high-profile. He lost his original position after gaining power, or did he have any clear instructions behind him, or even had great support?

The discussions of tens of thousands of soldiers had already spread. Even though they were deliberately lowering their voices, they stopped in Murong Wei's ears, as if tens of thousands of flies were flying in his ears, and they could not be suppressed. Shi Le's army rested on the flanks, and saw Shi Le's strength at such a close distance, so there was naturally constant discussion in the army.

Seeing Shi Le’s appearance of enjoyment, Murong Wei turned his mind and said, “Shilong has such a high theory, but he doesn’t know how to surround Gaotang and attack the coast.”

Shi Le proposed in public to divide the army into two parts, part of which besiege Gao Tang to guard against commotion such as the Han army in the Plain. The other part is to go south all the way, waiting for an opportunity to plunder the Han army stations along the coast, and use its military advantage to completely expel the Han army back to the Central Plains. If both groups of people can complete the task well, then with Liu Cong, the general of the chariot and cavalry who captured Leling, the Han army will be completely isolated in Hebei.

At that time, even if there was little time left, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered to attack day and night, they were very sure to break through the two cities of the Plain and Gaotang!

Shi Le smiled slightly when he heard this. Murong Ling was a judge of the pros and cons of the two places, but he didn't say that he would decide first. He was really an old fox. Seeing that Murong Ling was only in his early thirties and was less than ten years older than him, but this person was able to develop Murong's tribe so strong that His Majesty was afraid of it. He should know that his true ability was definitely more than so superficial.

"Yi Luogui doesn't have to be humble. The army has arrived here, so how can I make my brother turn around? Of course, Brother Yi Luogui is responsible for the coastal strategy, and I return to Gaotang to guard. This is my foolish opinion, but I ask Brother Yi Luogui for advice." Shi Le clasped his fists and said with a smile, completely ignoring the exclamations under Murong Wei!

Murong Ling's name is Yi Luogui, and this word is not undeniable, but you should know that as the head of the Murong Ling clan, even the Duan tribe who is on par with him, the leader of the Yuwen tribe will not be so rude when he sees it. Although Shi Le is polite to speak, he also has contempt. Only in extremely grand occasions or by a considerable seniority can he call Murong Ling's name.

Now it seems that only His Majesty Liu Yuan is now qualified. What are you Shi Le?

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be restless. Murong laughed, and he stopped all his anger. He turned his face and said, "Since my brother has this intention, why would I not follow me? The Han people along the coast are very rampant. I think half of the troops I brought are front-line personnel. Can I leave it to my brother Yu to be fully committed?"

As soon as these words were said, Murong Li's subordinates and supporters smiled happily, and if it were Shi Le's civil and military personnel, they were in an uproar. Shi Le tried his best to gather this force to avoid being suppressed by Murong Li. Now Murong Li has given Shi Le a favor, and then he has put forward the request to at least half of the troops brought by Shi Le. How can people accept it?

Shi Le could accept that the generals and civil officials who had just stood on Shi Le's side were in trouble. Not only Murong Li's mission, it was a bad thing to be retaliated by Murong Li. Everyone was worried, but what they were even more worried about was the opportunity that Shi Le had finally survived. If he destroyed the prestige he had just established by Murong Li, no matter how Shi Le made up for it after he made up for it, he would probably never have the chance to compete with Murong Li again.

The public will not support a weak person, and Murong Wei will not give Shi Le any chance to turn over and look up!

"Oh?" Shi Le also thought to himself about the difficulty of the other party and replied without changing his face: "The war situation on the Pingyuan the day before yesterday is reported, I believe my brother knows it. The Han people are waiting for work and waiting for an opportunity to go, and even the many people outside the Pingyuan City have suffered considerable losses. The talent and prestige of the Gaotang guard Dai Yuan is above Yuanyan, but the guards outside Gaotang guards are far inferior to those outside the Pingyuan... Alas! I was about to speak out and want my brother to borrow troops, but I didn't want my brother to take the lead. I was really ashamed."

"Haha, don't worry. Yuan Yan was deceived for days and rainy, and our army was neglected to guard against the enemy. With the thoughts of his brother, he was prepared for the lessons of the previous car. How dare Dai Yuan follow the plains under the sun and sunshine? In my opinion, not only does it not require a new army, but he can take the opportunity to send troops south and defeat Huoze for his brother, Zu Ti and others, and he will return to the north. At that time, the major events will be settled! I wonder what your brother thinks?"

I had already expected your words in my heart. Murong Wei said something slowly, but it was impossible to find any powerful rebuttal.

Shi Le disagreed and said, "The entire Zuti army was almost destroyed, and the remaining troops were not left. This is what Your Majesty said, and it is not my own fault. My brother took heavy troops south and wanted to increase his troops. This is a dangerous way. I know that I cannot say much, but I have to say much for my brother's safety."

"Now the Han people are tired and their troops are dispersed. My brother attacked him with a tiger, wolf and a hero, just like an eagle fighting a rabbit. Everyone in and outside the court stroking his hands to celebrate, which is actually a good opportunity to make achievements. However, Your Majesty asked his brother and brother to take charge of military power, and there is no need to say much about the deep meaning. If your brother wants more than 10,000 troops, he will take them away, and he is afraid that his Majesty will be evil..."

"I'm going to say this, but everything is decided by my elder brother." After that, Shi Le looked at Murong Li, then looked at the civil and military officials on both sides, and said lightly, as if he was trying to persuade him.

I never thought that Shi Le was so bold that he would bring out His Majesty’s intentions in public. Even though he was a personal guess, everyone actually knew that His Majesty did have this meaning? Whether it was the Han army, Suze or Zu Ti, he had been killed by His Majesty’s army.

If it weren't for the purpose of retiring as soon as possible, Li Yang and the pseudo-Han prince Liu Dong, this opportunity would not be left to Murong Yan. Although this proves Murong Yan's judgment, the choice of Liu Cong, the general of the chariot and cavalry, gave Murong Yan such an opportunity. But if His Majesty really had this consideration and insisted on depriving Shi Le of part of his military power, it would probably touch the emperor...

Murong Ling naturally distinguished clearly which one is more important, and he couldn't help but look at Shi Le more. If he had the chance, he would never let such a person become a threat to him!!

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. You must know that I, Murong Ting, are loyal and will never be suspicious of me. What I said is really too much. But since Your Majesty ordered my brothers to join in the military power, if my brothers divide the troops and become brothers, they would let outsiders talk about gossip. Since this is the case, you and my brothers will leave here for a while. When your brothers are eliminated first, Zu Shi will come to meet with me!" Speaking of this, Murong Ting unintentionally continued to entangle, and stood up to end the conversation.

The civil and military officials of Murong Jie said it was a pity when they saw this, but no matter how reasonable, reason or excuse you are, they can't stand a magistrate. This is the biggest bargaining chip that Shi Le has mastered, and it is even more unshakable. Who dares to shake Shi Le's foothold? It's not that no one can't, but they just need to use their heads and their lives to collide with their lives...

On the other hand, the civil and military officials on Shi Le were worried that they would not know where their future was, nor whether they had a way out. They were worried about the way out and regretted their decision. I asked Shi Le’s foundation was still weak, how could he compete with Murong Ting? He was indeed the wrong side of his side! The situation suddenly changed, and everyone was refreshed. Not only did he look at Shi Le differently, but he was also convinced.

Shi Le also stood up and said, "I still have something to ask my brother for help... I have very few cavalry under my command, which is not enough to intimidate the Gaotang defenders. Seeing that my brother's army is grand, I asked five thousand iron cavalry to help the battle, so I would like to ask my brother not to refuse!!"

"Hmm?" Murong Ling turned around and saw it, and he was angry. If I don't mess with you, you are bullying me, Murong Ling!?

The chief adviser of Murong Wei, Cheng Xian, stood up and said: "Report to General, most of our cavalry have already started, and at this moment, we can only allocate two thousand."

"snort!"

"hey-hey!"

Seeing that Ying Xian inserted the conversation between the two without authorization, Shi Le and his side did not dare to say anything in front of Murong Li, but he hummed and expressed his dissatisfaction and ridicule of Murong Li.

Seeing this, Shi Le smiled and said, "It would be good if there are two thousand numbers, brother..."

"My brother, don't say much. The Gaotang Guardian has complete military strength. How can two thousand scattered cavalry be used?" Murong Wei waved his big hand and immediately said, "Where is the seal and draw!"

"The last general is here!" The general Feng Cai, under Murong Wei, came out of the voice. Everyone saw a lot of noise and discussion. This general was both wise and brave, and was not inferior to those staff members. He was born with divine power in martial arts and bravery. He was a rare general. Now many people were exclaiming when they saw his heroic figure.

"You will command the five thousand elite cavalry under my command. I will help my brother to prevent the attack of the Gaotang defenders. Don't let my reputation be lost!" Murong Jie said with a sigh before standing on the table, and he had the courage of a overlord.

"I will be sure to be despised!" Feng Dai stood aside after hearing this.

Shi Le was a little flattered and bowed, "Since you are so lucky, I hope you can win the championship with your elder brother!"

"Thank you, brother, the day of reunion is just around the corner!" Murong Yi smiled and held Shi Le's four hands to separate. The Feng Cai followed Shi Le, bowed to Murong Yi slightly, and then lit up five thousand elite cavalry and followed Shi Le's men and horses and left.

After Shi Le's army left, Murong's army continued to move in a constant direction. Even at night, there was no intention of stopping.

Jiang Xian, Xifang Qian, Pei Kai, Song and others gathered behind Murong's horses and looked at each other for a while. Finally, Jiang Xian asked, "Shi Lelang's ambition, why should the general help him with heavy troops?"

Seeing that everyone didn't know much, Murong Wei shook his head and sneered: "Boy Shi Le is indeed difficult to deal with, but it is still far from me. The siege of Gao Tang is no longer a simple matter. Shi Le asks for help from me, and if I refuse, I will blame Gao Tang for me in front of Your Majesty in the future. Since Your Majesty has been guarding against me, it is very possible to make a big fuss."

As they listened, Yang Xian and others nodded. Murong Wei could think clearly about the interests and think about the long-term things. Xi Fang Qian shook his head and pinched the sparse fibrous roots with his hands and asked: "Shi Le must have another trouble after he goes back. Although the general is steady, he is also prone to plot. Besides, how can the general get into the siege of Gaotang? And Shi Le is likely to be defeated?"

As Murong Yi's aides whom Murong Yi relied on, of course, Yang Xian, Song Gai, Ximen Qian, Pei Kai and others understood that there was no unpredictable prediction in this world. There was only the wisdom to judge the development of the situation based on certain rules. Murong Yi's wisdom is certainly above everyone else, but it does not mean that Murong Yi does not need to participate in other people's proposals.

Even if you have talent and wisdom, no matter how powerful a person is, you cannot guarantee that every choice is beneficial to you and facilitate your continuous development and growth. People have wisdom and also have emotions. They are affected by emotions, cognitive limitations, and endless information, which are difficult for a person to deal with.

Therefore, only those who can gather people who are expected can achieve success and have the opportunity to establish hegemony or be called qualifications. Murong Wei will not predict the future, so everyone is very curious about where Murong Wei inferred and judged Shi Le's upcoming defeat.

Murong Wei said with a smile: "No matter how brave Shi Le is, he will not dare to attack Feng. Humph! But someone still needs to go to help General Feng with his strength to prevent problems before it happens."

When Ximen Qian and others heard this, they bowed and said, "I am willing to serve the work of a dog or a horse, but I follow the general's instructions!"

"Okay, Mr. Lao Ximen and Mr. Song will go to chase General Feng. When our army's money and food are transferred, you can urge Shi Le to attack the city when you receive my order!" Murong Wei said as if nothing had happened, but everyone was impressed. Others didn't sound very familiar with it, but they had already fully understood the intentions of the general in their minds.

The consumption of cavalry is huge, and the consumption of 5,000 elite cavalry is even more than that of 5,000 ordinary cavalry. The seal is a heavy general and a guest general who assists in the war. Naturally, Shi Le handles the military rations. Shi Le has just gathered a large number of people, and it takes time to distribute and transport money and grain.

Murong Lie can accelerate the transportation of his military rations, so that the nearby temporary granary will not provide Shi Le and meet the food and salary of the 5,000 elite cavalry. It can still hold on in just a few days. After a long time, people's minds will change, and Shi Le's pressure can be imagined. On the other hand, Murong Lie can ask His Majesty to attack Gao Tang, and at the same time urge Shi Le to take action as soon as possible.

The two of them held military power together, and Murong Jie used heavy troops to assist in the war. In addition, His Majesty may have the same intention. At that time, Shi Le could only bite the bullet and use his own troops to attack the tough. The elite cavalry of Murong Jie who assisted the war could stand by and stay out of the matter because it was difficult for cavalry to participate in the war.

In this way, the forces that Shi Le worked hard to establish will definitely suffer a heavy blow!!!

Ximen Qian was not afraid of power and dared to speak out in a blunt manner, Song Gao was able to speak eloquently, and the two went to help, which could lay the groundwork for this matter and spread news in the army that was beneficial to Murong Ting. In addition, Feng Diao brought five thousand elite cavalry to guard, even if Shi Le was dissatisfied, how dare he treat these two aides?

"General, we will accept it!" Jiang Xian, Pei Kai, Ximen Qian, Song Ji and others bowed immediately and bowed to express their respect.

Murong Li nodded and said, "This matter is entrusted to the two gentlemen, and the two need to worry more. Shi Le also has capable people, so be careful in everything."

"Please rest assured, General, we will not be humiliated, so let's say goodbye!" Ximen Qian and Song Gai bowed and shouted, and quickly left the army under the escort of dozens of cavalry to chase Shi Le and Feng Cai.

The long team kept moving with torches, and the dozens of people left seemed insignificant, but it was a continuation of the struggle between Murong Jing and Shi Le. Although the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, the Han regime still occupied most of the country strongly and powerfully. With the dangers of the Yellow River and the desolation of Hebei, the Hu people were sent to death.

To be precise, nearly ten days have passed since the gathering of countless soldiers and generals, making the Hu people's food and supplies even more unable to do anything. Whether it is war horses or soldiers, they all need food, and they can't do anything without food. At least Hebei cannot continue to occupy it.

The obedience of all races outside the Great Wall made the Huns look extremely powerful. There will be a turning point in the next twenty days, or will it be the afterglow of the sunset?

Murong Wei was thinking, Shi Le was thinking, everyone was thinking. Once the Later Han Dynasty withdrew from Hebei, if it lost its original prestige and power, would it continue to obey the orders and do things for the Huns in the outer boundary?

The reason why the Han people defended was that as long as they held on for more than a month, the Hu people would automatically withdraw their troops. The reason why the Hu people launched waves of offensive attacks was the final counterattack of the Liu regime! Even if it was not a wise choice, it could consume a lot of living forces in the counterattack and ensure the hegemony of the Huns after returning to the Great Wall. Is this also under Liu Yuan's consideration?

Thinking of this, Murong Yi showed a strange smile on his lips, and suddenly opened his mouth: "Mr. Pei."

Pei Kai rode his horse and followed the brigade in the crowd behind him. He heard the general shouting and quickly stepped forward and said, "What are the general's instructions?"

Murong Ling said in a mysterious way: "Your Majesty doesn't know what's going on, Lord Pei can go and inquire."

There is a dedicated person responsible for the military information transmission, and investigating military information is not a matter of the staff. Pei Kai was smart and said with a word in his words: "Sir, obey the order."

He said he was obeying the order, but he was closer to Murong Li, and leaned over. Murong Li slowed down his horse and whispered a few words in Pei Kai's ear. Pei Kai nodded frequently, and then chose several guards to leave the brigade and headed for the west.

"The march tonight is here, and I will order the camp to set up a camp!" Murong Jie said loudly when he saw that everyone looked sleepy and said loudly.
