Chapter 148: An Unexpected Ally

"Bastard! It's all a bunch of ungrateful bastards! ”

Shortly after Wang Jun broke with Duan, Shi Le sent troops to kill Tian Hui, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Bo Sheng, the assassin of Qingzhou where Wang Jun was appointed, also surrendered to Shile. Under the prestige of Shi Le's troops, except for Shao Xunai, who pretended to surrender to Shi Le, the rest of the Hebei heroes chose to surrender one after another.

Knowing that Hebei Haoqiang betrayed him and surrendered to Shile, Wang Jun was furious and cursed Jizhou Haoqiang loudly in the Zhuoxian Thorn History Mansion. It's a pity that no matter how violent Wang Jun is, he can't stop Shi Le from entering and occupying most of Jizhou.

Just when Wang Jun was anxious, another bad news reached his ears. The Karasuma people, who had settled in the three counties of Dai, Quang Ninh, and Gugu since the time of the previous dynasty, learned that Wang Jun had a falling out with the Duan clan, and that Shile was powerful, and for the sake of the future future of the tribe, the Karasuma people chose to betray and secretly attached themselves to Shile.

It can be said that Wang Jun has come to the point of betraying his relatives, and no one expected that Wang Jun, who was still the overlord of the north half a year ago, would decline in just a few months. Not only did they lose their most important arm, Duan's Xianbei, but even Jizhou, Hebei Province was captured by Shile.

Now, Wang Jun doesn't want to talk about counterattacking Shile, if he can block Shile from attacking Youzhou next year, even if his fate is good!

In Youping and Youping, both the Hu people and the Han people are watching this war related to the hegemony of Hebei, and from the current point of view, Shile has the upper hand. Everyone believes that after Shi Le digests Jizhou, he will definitely launch a fatal blow to Wang Jun of Youzhou next year!

And Wang Jun, who lost the two cavalry of Xianbei and Karasuma as foreign aid, will definitely not be able to stop the attack from Shile at that time! Once Wang Jun is defeated, it will inevitably lead to a reshuffle of the Liaodong forces, and ambitious people naturally want to seek enough benefits for themselves in this war.

"My lord, since the beginning of August, we have not relaxed the surveillance of Youzhou and Hebei, judging from the information collected so far, if there is no foreign help, Wang Jun will inevitably be defeated by Shi Le next year! Once Wang Jun is defeated and Shi Le enters Youzhou, it will inevitably have an impact on our future plans for the west! ”

At the recent joint meeting of the military and government in Liaodong, Lu Chang, director of the Department of Military Affairs, stood in front of a huge map of Youji and Hebei and briefed Wei Shuo and the Liaodong Zhuwenwu present on the latest military situation.

"I didn't expect that Wang Jun, the dignified assassin of Youzhou, was so defeated, he had tens of thousands of troops, and there were hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry in Xianbei and Karasuma to help, and he was defeated by Shi Le in just over a month, not only lost his division and lost his ground, but also forced the Duan clan to the side of the opponent Shi Le! Wang Jun is incompetent and misleads the country! Damn it! Damn it! It's so hateful! ”

Under Wei Shuo, there are too many people who lack a good impression of Wang Jun, not only because Wang Jun blocked the way for everyone to return to the Central Plains, but also because many people are not used to what Wang Jun did. Wang Jun had a chance to turn the tide, but he was arrogant and forced to bury the good situation.

Later, Wang Jun's ambition swelled to set up a private platform in Youzhou and did many evils, causing the people of Liaodong to drift away from Germany. Now when Wang Jun is mentioned, in addition to Pei Wei, Gao Zhan and other children of the family out of reserve, You Tan, Lu Chang, Yu Xiake and others present have denounced Wang Jun.

Wei Shuo saw that he was a little off-topic, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay, okay, everyone don't denounce Wang Jun anymore!" The purpose of bringing everyone together today is to discuss the impact of the Youzhou battle on Liaodong in order to make the most suitable choice! ”

After listening to Wei Shuo, everyone was silent for a while, and everyone weighed the pros and cons in their hearts. They knew that this was a major matter related to the future of Liaodong, and they could not afford not to weigh it carefully. Everyone is trying their best to think about how to solve the problem, hoping to come up with a perfect solution that will be recognized by Weishuo.

"My lord, in fact, there are not many choices for us to make, one is nothing more than acting as a bystander and letting Wang Jun fall; The other is to take the initiative to form an alliance with Wang Jun and rescue Wang Jun. Both options have pros and cons for us, depending on which one has more pros than cons for us! ”

"Once Wang Jun is defeated, there will be no one to suppress the Hu people in Liaodong, whether it is the Karasuma people or the Xianbei people, they may take the opportunity to launch a rebellion to expand their strength! Once the Hu people are in turmoil and trigger a wave of refugees in Youzhou, it will inevitably affect the stability of our Liaodong and Xuansu counties. ”

"Our plans for recuperation will be completely disrupted! Of course, that's not the worst outcome! Wang Jun is defeated, and there will be no one in Hebei to restrain Shile, and Shile will definitely become the overlord of Hebei like Yuan Shao. Shi Le is the male lord, once the influence is extended to Youzhou, can we still hide in Liaodong to develop and accumulate strength? ”

"Does Chief Lu mean to advocate an alliance with Wang Jun?"

"That's right, my lord! Wang Jun is no longer incompetent, and the Hu people of Liaodong are afraid of Wang Jun's residual power and do not dare to openly launch a rebellion for a while, which can buy us precious time to recuperate. By the end of next year's autumn harvest, we will be able to harvest enough food, and at the same time, the recruited recruits will have completed their military training, and at that time, there will be no problem in sending troops to quell the rebellion or taking the opportunity to occupy Youzhou! ”

"On the contrary, if we allow Wang Jun to be defeated and stand idly by, then it will trigger a rebellion of the Hu people in Liaodong, and with our current strength, we will not be able to send troops to suppress it, let alone deal with the threat from the powerful Shile!"

After listening to Lu Chang's words, Wei Shuo was thoughtful, he didn't know what kind of choice the Hu people of Liaodong made after Wang Jun's defeat in real history. However, Wei Shuo knew that during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Youzhou finally fell into the hands of the Xianbei people. In other words, after the defeat of Wang Jun, the Han forces basically lost control of Youzhou and Liaodong.

Although Wei Shuo was lucky to occupy a corner of Liaodong, it was still too far behind the three Xianbei. If he wants to take Youzhou, he still needs time to accumulate strength, so abandoning old grudges and forming an alliance with Wang Jun has become his only choice at present.

"Lord, what Lord Lu said is right! Forming an alliance with Wang Jun is a choice that will have more advantages than disadvantages for us! ”

"Yes, yes, I also agree with Lord Lu's proposal!"

Lu Chang's proposal attracted everyone's echo, and even Wei Shuo bowed slightly. Although Wei Shuo also wanted Wang Jun to die early, judging from the current situation, Wang Jun would live a little longer, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for him!

"Okay, since everyone agrees with this proposal, let's send someone to Youzhou for a walk!"

……

Wang Jun in Fanyang City watched his allies rebel one after another, and he couldn't help but be terrified in anger! Wang Jun knew very well what he relied on to run rampant in the north, wasn't it those Hu cavalry? Suddenly, the Xianbei people and the Karasuma people rebelled one after another, and Wang Jun lost his biggest reliance, what will he do to compete with Shile in the future?

Wang Jun trembled with fear when he thought of the scene of Shi Lebing's arrival in Youzhou in the future! But at this moment, Wang Jun really can't think of anyone else who can help him? In the past two years, Wang Jun relied on the strength of Hu Qi under his command, not only offended Shi Le to death, but also disagreed with the clan forces represented by Sima Ye, the prince of Guanzhong, and the king of Langya in Jiangdong, because of the private establishment of the platform.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Jun regretted it. If he hadn't been arrogant at the beginning, maybe he could have asked King Langya for help now, and let King Langya send troops to the Central Plains to threaten Shile's rear. Just when Wang Jun was anxious about the situation in front of him, the envoy Yang Tan sent by Wei Shuo arrived in Fanyang City.

The arrival of Yang Tan greatly surprised Wang Jun, and Wang Jun naturally had no good impression of Wei Shuo. Not long ago, Wei Shuo kicked his wife's uncle Cui Yu out of Xiangping in embarrassment, which greatly lost Wang Jun's face. If it was before, Wang Jun would never agree to the other party's proposal to form an alliance, but now that he is about to reach the point of exhaustion, how can he have any mind to worry about Wei Shuo?

"Go back and tell the county guard that as long as he helps me repel the incoming Shile next year, I will appoint him as the assassin of Pingzhou!"

It seems that Wang Jun seems to have made a bloody investment in order to win over the only ally in front of him. It's a pity that Yang Tan didn't take the verbal promise made to Wang Jun to heart, in Yang Tan's opinion, if it wasn't for the sake of the great cause of the lord, not to mention that Wang Jun took out the title of Pingzhou Thorn History, or gave the title of Youzhou Mu with both hands, the people of Liaodong would not take it to heart.

"Thank you Wang Tingshi for your kindness, please rest assured, the next official will definitely tell my lord when he goes back!"
