[After Shi Le gained a foothold in Xiangguo, a head-on conflict between him and Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, was inevitable, after all, no one wanted a beast lying on his stomach on the side of his couch.

So, in December of the seventh year of Yongjia (313 AD), Wang Jun sent 50,000 troops, together with Duan Mozhu and others of the Xianbei tribe in western Liaoxi to besiege Xiangguo, which was menacing.

At that time, Shi Le had just arrived in Hebei, and had only established a base in Xiangguo, and he was busy repairing the city wall and building infrastructure, so he had no time to take care of other things.

Zhang Bin, who was the first adviser under Shi Le, said to him: We are now very close to Jinyang and Jizhou, and if we build a base here, Wang Jun and Liu Kun will definitely be extremely jealous, and they will lead a large army to come before we build the city and city walls.

Therefore, it is not appropriate for us to declare independence from Liu Han, and we should prepare grain and grass while going to Liu Cong to express our intention to defend this place.

After hearing this, Shile did as he pleased. 】

[Although Shile's people worked overtime to build city walls, dig moats, and store grain and grass, it was not a day's work to build a city.

In fact, just as Zhang Bin expected, the walls of Xiangguo had not been reinforced, and the moat had not been repaired, and the Xianbei army sent by Wang Jun had already been killed.

Although the city defense had not been consolidated at this time, in the face of the Xianbei army, Shi Le could only continue to strengthen the city defense while sending troops to meet the battle.

However, Shi Le attacked several times, but he was defeated, and the Xianbei people were gathering craftsmen to build siege equipment, so Shi Le knew that the final decisive battle was not far away. 】

[At this critical moment, Shi Le convened his generals to discuss, and all the generals advocated sticking to the tired enemy and waiting for him to retreat and attack him.

However, in view of the current situation in the city, Zhang Bin believes that it is not appropriate to hold it for a long time, and it should break through first.

He suggested to Shi Le: "This Duan clan is the most fierce, especially the end of the chest, and the spirit and courage of his pawn are all in the end of the house, so don't come back to fight and show weakness." Quickly chisel the north base for more than 20 roads to break through the door, waiting for the thief to guard undecided, surprise, straight to the end of the tent, the enemy will be shocked, the plan is not set up, the so-called lightning is not in time to cover the ear. ”

The meaning is: our army will not fight for the time being, avoid its edge, deliberately show cowardice, and then secretly dig more than 20 gates in the north city. When the Xianbei tribe came to attack the city, they led the elite soldiers out of the breakthrough gate, attacked it unprepared, and took advantage of the fact that their formation was undecided, and rushed straight to their leader's tent, which would be broken.

Zhang Bin's suggestion was perfect, but there were also many uncertainties, but for Shi Le, the matter had come to this, and they could only give it a go. 】

[Soon, the Xianbei people, who were too lazy to take a long detour, really opened a formation in front of the northern city, and with the sound of a horn, the Xianbei people began to attack the city.

At this moment, Shi Le's first elite soldiers in ambush roared out from the twenty big holes and rushed straight to the Xianbei camp!

The Xianbei army was really shocked, they never thought that the people of the Xian tribe would actually play yin.

However, as time passed, the Xianbei people were a little panicked at first because of the unexpected actions of the Xianbei people, but as the war developed, the Xianbei people's courage and courage in battle became prominent.

The Xianbei army, under the leadership of the general Duan Moqi, actually pushed Shi Le's subordinates back, and Shi Le saw that the plan failed, and he was helpless.

It was then that the tide of battle changed dramatically.

The Xianbei general Duan Moqi was so killed for a while, and actually chased Shi Le's defeated army into the city gate, that is to say, ran into the enemy's lair, Shi Le saw it, and immediately ordered it to be captured.

The Xianbei soldiers saw that even the brave Duan Moqi had been captured, so they gave up the attack and chose to retreat, and Shile's defense of Xiangguo was victorious. 】

"This"

"How do I feel like rookies pecking at each other?"

"Chasing the enemy, I actually chased into the enemy's lair and was captured alive??? Is this going to laugh at me?! ”

[After winning the battle to defend Xiangcheng, the soldiers demanded that Duan Mozhu be beheaded for public display, but Shile resolutely stopped this proposal.

He said: Liaoxi Xianbei has no grievances or enmity with us, and Duan Moqi is just used by Wang Jun.

It is never advisable to kill one person and settle a nation's grudge.

And if Duan Mozhu is released, they will definitely thank me for my kindness, and they will not obey Wang Jun's orders in the future.

I have to say that Shiler's performance is a bit of a hero. 】

[Shi Le planned to release Duan Moqi, and it happened that at this time, Duan Jilu, the leader of the Xianbei Department, also sent an envoy to Shi Le to ask for peace, and Shi Le readily agreed.

After the two families negotiated peace, Shi Le sent people to form an alliance with Duan Jilu in the camp, and let his nephew Shi Hu and Duan Jilu become brothers, and he held a banquet in Xiangguo to invite Duan Moqi, and let him go back at the end.

Duan Mobei thought that he would not escape death, but he didn't expect that instead of being killed, he was treated as a guest, so he was grateful, and finally he recognized Shi Le as his godfather.

On the way back, Duan Mobei bowed down three times to the south to thank Shile for his kindness, and after that, he and Wang Junxiang were separated.

In this way, Shi Le successfully pulled the powerful Xianbei Duan clan troops into his camp through emotional entrapment, and at the same time greatly weakened Wang Jun's strength. 】

"Well, it seems that I underestimated these brutes too much."

"It's all because I learned my Han culture, and this group of barbarians even won the crown of monkeys."

"But in our Tang Dynasty, there were also a lot of ethnic minorities, right? You see that there is Gao Xianzhi, a Goguryeo person, and Ge Shuhan, a person from the Geshu tribe, and Ge Shuhan has also done Shangshu Zuo Servant Shooting! ”

"If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it should be punished!"

"Brother, don't be so murderous. I have heard that the people of these ethnic minorities are good at singing and dancing, so why not carry this forward and replace their martial spirit? ”

"Hey, this idea is very strange, dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname?"

"Under the surname Lu Mingyan, Chen Liujiyang people."

[After Shi Le reconciled with Xianbei Duanbu, Wang Jun no longer had an advantage in military affairs.

And his favorite general Qi Hong also encountered Shi Lejun in a fog before and was killed by Shi Bu, so far, Wang Jun has no more generals available.

But Shile has been getting bigger, and the blow to it is really too big.

However, he did not reflect on himself and strengthen his strength, but for some reason he suddenly fell into a delusional self-confidence, and according to some inexplicable proverbs, he thought that he should be the emperor in his destiny.

In fact, although Wang Jun is a Jin minister, he already has the heart of usurpation.

For this reason, Zhang Bin suggested that Shi Le first pretend to be a vassal to Wang Jun to let him relax his vigilance, and then take advantage of the opportunity to give gifts to carry out a sneak attack, and a battle can be decided.

Shile thought that this plan was very good, so he first hid his elite forces to show weakness.

In the eighth year of Yongjia (314), Shile began to act.

He sent a letter to Wang Jun, in which he praised Wang Jun vigorously; At the same time, Shi Le wrote a letter to Wang Jun's favorite retainer Zao Song, sending a large amount of bribes and asking him to help him say good things.

Wang Jun had just been betrayed by the Xianbei Duanbu and was secretly annoyed, and suddenly he got Shi Le's letter, and he would definitely have some doubts in his heart.

At this time, the envoy argued: "Your prestige and life have spread far and wide, and the Hu and Han people have admired you for a long time, how can you compare with the power of our small Xiangguo?" Since ancient times, the Hu people have only been famous ministers, not emperors. General Shi respects Ming Gong, which is in accordance with the will of heaven! ”

When Wang Jun heard this, he already believed eighty percent in his heart.

In addition, Shi Le announced that he would personally go to Youzhou in mid-March to persuade Wang Jun to become emperor, and Wang Jun finally fell into the plan and no longer guarded against Shi Le. 】
