Ma Jun was willing to serve the Northern Army, but he didn't care about his official position. This was a very undesirable thing.
"How did you contact the little girl of Zhen?"
Ju Su Xiaoxiao and explained the general situation.
This time, Sun Rui went to Luoyang to participate in the grand review. He knew that the emperor had decided to pacify Jizhou by force, and he was willing to force some of the great tribes in Jizhou. Jizhou would definitely suffer major losses.
He could not stop the emperor from thinking, so he could only settle for the second best and find ways to prepare for the future recovery of Jizhou.
He naturally thought of Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi has the national character and the strong strength of the Zhen family in Zhongshan. It is said that she has met the emperor and has a good impression of it. If she could enter the palace, Jizhou would have the opportunity to speak out in the palace.
It is not difficult to find Zhen Mi. She is the martial arts technician who is accompanying her, but Zhen Mi rejects his proposal.
Entering the palace cannot solve the problem.
Besides, there were originally from Jizhou in the palace, and Dong Cheng's daughter Dong Wan was in the palace. Moreover, she was a member of the Empress Dowager Dong. She grew up in the Nangong with the emperor and was closest to her.
Dong Wan is more suitable for her to find someone to endorse Jizhou.
What's more, Xiaohuan and Xiaoling all came from Hejian. The emperor's biological mother, Empress Linghuai, was from Zhao. The emperor was bleeding from Jizhou, but the people of Jizhou did not regard the emperor as their own.
Instead of thinking about the way to go to the harem, it is better to think about how to serve the emperor in conquer Jizhou.
The last way Zhen Mi thought of was to invite Ma Jun to serve in the Northern Army.
At the Eighth School of the Northern Army, the emperor wanted to build a chariot battalion, which was responsible for manufacturing armies, but he had never found a suitable candidate. Originally, Zhen Mi planned to recommend herself, but she knew that she was not good enough and thought of Ma Jun.
As for how Zhen Mi told Ma Jun, it’s not clear.
Zhen Mi didn't say anything, and Ma Jun would never mention it.
After hearing this, Ju Jun nodded frequently. "I didn't expect that this little girl is not only beautiful, but also has strategy. She is much stronger than Shen Fengsheng. You should keep in touch with her. Although entering the palace is not the only choice,
It is still worth considering. As for Dong Cheng’s father and daughter…”
Ju Jun snorted and disdained to mention it again.
As a member of the Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Cheng actually relies on Dong Zhuo. This kind of person is just that and is not very useful. As for his daughter Dong Wan, she looks very martial, similar to Ma Yunlu, Lu Xiaohuan and others, but has the same ability.
limited.
If Zhen Mi could enter the palace, she would definitely be better than Dong Wan.
But this matter cannot be forced, Zhen Mi must have his own opinions.
After talking for a long time, Ju Jun remembered and told Ju Su that his thoughts were made by Sun Rui.
When Yuan Shao died, according to etiquette, his women and old subordinates should go to the funeral. If he could take this opportunity to let Shen Pei put a family member, it might be able to alleviate the conflict and create some conditions for forcing surrender or even seeking peace, so as to avoid a war.
It is rare for Shi Sun Rui to think so. For him, surrendering may not be a good thing.
Ju Su smiled bitterly. "Brother, you don't understand what kind of person Shen Pei is. At this moment, he can't let anyone go. He will only use this opportunity to inspire more people to fight to the death."
"Will someone really be that stupid?" Ju Jun was skeptical.
It’s time for this, and there are still people who believe that they can defeat the court and the emperor?
Open your eyes and see the situation. Not to mention how many troops the emperor had surrounded him from all directions, even if the emperor did not come forward, only Sun Rui would lead the Northern Army into Jizhou and he could still take down Yecheng. At most, it would only take a little longer.
"Brother, people only believe what they are willing to believe." Ju Su sighed. "Those who have never seen the imperial army with their own eyes will not believe that the imperial court can pacify Jizhou with force. The emperor makes a sound and wants to force the fields in Jizhou. You
Didn’t you think it was inappropriate before?"
Ju Jun suddenly blushed.
Before Shi Sun Rui led the expanded Northern Army to Taiyuan, they received news that the emperor intended to force the field in Jizhou. They were worried about this and felt that the emperor's move was to help the emperor and let more people in Jizhou choose
Support Shen Pei and become enemies with the court.
Before the war, making such a decision was simply a foe.
But when he saw the 20,000 elite soldiers brought back by Shi Sun Rui, he knew that he was thinking too much.
The small enemy is strong and the big enemy is captured. The emperor has enough strength and is not afraid that the people of Jizhou support Shen Pei. No matter how many people support Shen Pei, they cannot change the final result, and will only give the emperor the opportunity to capture them all in one place.
"Please be at ease." Ju Jun finally said: "No matter what, we are also from Jizhou after all, and we can't watch the township party be mistaken for the guards, but we don't help them."
Ju Su nodded helplessly, as if he agreed.
Yecheng.
Shen Pei stood at the top of the city with his hands behind his back, looking at the dust rising from the official road in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If nothing unexpected happens, there are people who are unwilling to hand over the land and insist on fighting with the court to the end.
Naturally, after the news spread that the emperor was going to force the field in Jizhou, there were endless streams. The number of troops in Jizhou City was increasing, close to 30,000, and the money and food were also sufficient. There would definitely be no problem in defending the previous year.
With these troops and money and grain, Yecheng was as solid as a god.
In order to prevent too many people from coming, Shen Pei politely rejected some families with limited strength and suggested that they either go into the mountains to avoid them for a while or refuse to guard the site. While choosing a site outside the city, they decided to build two more camps on the south bank of Zhangshui.
It formed a horn with Yecheng. Three high platforms were built on the west wall of Yecheng, with strong crossbows on top and storing troops and food at the bottom, making preparations for long-term persistence.
Everything is ready, just wait for the emperor to attack.
He wanted to see how many people the emperor could have and how long it would take to siege the city.
"Shenjun." Yuan Xi appeared on the city and walked over quickly.
Shen Pei retracted her thoughts, looked back, and saw Yuan Xi's tears in her face, and was shocked. "General Yuan, you are..."
"My father passed away." Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel sad, and Hu Tao cried.
Shen Pei's eyes turned cold and she glanced at the entourage behind Yuan Xi.
Under such strict guarding, Yuan Xi could still get news of Yuan Shao's death before him. It seems that these people are not dedicated.
“When did you receive the message?”
"Just now." Yuan Xi cried while handing over the letter he had just received.
Shen Fu connected in his hand, glanced at him, and recognized that this was Guo Tu's handwriting. He couldn't help but snorted indescribable contempt.
This old dog, who lacked a doll, had nowhere to go, so he could only guard the grave for Yuan Shao.
He opened the letter, quickly browsed the content, and finally fell on the date.
As long as you know the date when Guo Tu sent this letter, you can calculate when the letter crossed the river and when it arrived in Yecheng, and you can find out who was informing you.
This is how the information channels left by Guo Tu were cut off one by one.
But Yuan Xi didn't know.
Xin Pi left, and Han Xuan turned against Yuan Xi again. There were no counselors around Yuan Xi to give him advice, and he was just a puppet.
Shen Pei helped Yuan Xi up and said in tears: "General Yuan, General Yuan, ordered him to make a living for the people of the world, endure humiliation and submit to the court, but he could not help but die in the end. It can be seen that it is difficult to live in silence. Only by burning the boat and fighting with the water can one live to the death.
