Chapter 912 The Alliance Under the City
Yecheng is a large-scale city group. In the early years, it was renamed Linzhang because of avoiding the taboo of Jin Mindi Sima Ye. Similarly, Jianye in Jiangdong was renamed Jiankang.

However, Shi Zhao naturally would not shy away from the Jin Emperor. After Shi Le conquered Santai in the early years, he directly restored the name of Yecheng and built it into a military fortress.However, the name Linzhang has also been retained. Previously, Shi Le planned to move the capital to Yecheng, mainly to build the Ye Palace with Linzhang as the center.

Shi Kan’s residence of the King of Wei was not located in Ye Palace, which had already been built on a large scale, but was located near Santai, where Shi Hu was stationed in the early years. This is also the base camp of Shi Kan’s army, with more than [-] soldiers Armored soldiers.As for the other soldiers, they were stationed in Zuojinyuan Township, Wei County, and Liyang further south.

Yecheng was originally a big city in Hebei Province, densely populated.Later, Shizhao moved a large number of residents here, such as Di, Qiang, Tuge, Dingling, Xianbei, Linhu, Suotou, Karasuma, etc., which made the composition of the residents here more complicated.

Shi Kan, who is currently sitting in Yecheng, is not a strong figure that everyone expects.Therefore, in the vicinity of the entire Ye area, crowding and chaos are the norm, and bloody struggles take place on every inch of land and almost every moment.

In such a chaotic area, ordinary people don't even dare to go out to wander. They just live within a square inch, but disasters are often unavoidable.

However, such a chaotic situation subsided after approaching Yecheng, and there was a chilling tranquility inside the city.Although Shi Kan can't control the whole Ye land, if he only manages a city, he still has enough power.

Therefore, the vicinity of Santai is also one of the few areas in Ye that can still maintain order. Many military leaders who are arrogant and domineering in the countryside often place their families in Ye City.Even if they failed to fight outside and their tribes were swallowed up, as long as they fled into Yecheng, they could avoid being driven out and killed.

This is not only a bit of decency reserved by the military leaders for Shi Kan, the nominal master, but also a way of retreat for each of them to maintain.

In the past few days, there has been a sense of undercurrents in the whole of Ye. There are many knights running on horseback and fully armed on the roads, and even many generals guarding outside have frequently appeared on the streets of Yecheng.

Even if there is no clear news yet, for these people who have been devastated by war and are extremely sensitive to danger, these signs alone are enough to indicate that something big is about to happen.Therefore, in this tacit and stormy atmosphere of turmoil, the prices of all kinds of goods in Yedi soared, especially grains such as rice, which were more than ten times steeper.

A similar atmosphere is not only revealed outside, but also inside the Weiwang Mansion, which is located in the core of the city.Some subordinate courtyards were already overcrowded, gathering a large number of officials and generals who returned from the outside world and wanted to inquire about news.

When these people gather together, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of discussion. Among the words that reveal hesitation and anxiety, there are several words that appear most frequently, such as Xiangguo, King of Zhongshan, Jijun, Huainan and so on.

"It seems that the king of Zhongshan wants to abandon Shaojun and establish a plus king..."

Similar words, similar with minor differences, appear frequently in various places and among different populations.The tone of these people is also different, or sad, or angry, or regretful, or a faint excitement that wants to be suppressed but cannot be concealed.

For the people of Hebei, what is closely related to them is naturally the struggle in Xiangguo.The two emperors each have a group of fans, but everyone knows that the two young emperors are just symbols on the table.Sometimes these two symbols have great significance, and sometimes they are insignificant, but if one party suddenly intends to throw them away, it means that the chaotic situation will usher in great changes.

Zhongshan Wang Shihu is a man, and there are almost no people who have never heard of his name among the people in Hebei.And his rebellion is also obvious, even though he is under the name of the young master Shi Hui, sooner or later he will be thrown away, this is already something that anyone with insight can guess.

However, consensus is consensus. When this day comes, those who feel that they are in this situation will inevitably think a lot.Why did King Zhongshan choose to be self-reliant at this moment?What is the mystery in this?And how will the people of Yecheng be affected?What kind of attitude do you need?

Regarding Shi Hu's going to claim the title of Heavenly King, everyone's inner feelings are different.Those who were indignant naturally felt a little unacceptable, and they all felt that Shi Hu's ambition was like a wolf, and that he had failed the former master Shi Le's trust in him during his lifetime.

But such people are a minority after all. In fact, after Shi Le's death, even though Jie Guoxuan fell into civil strife that lasted for several years, there is still no sign of ending it.And the laws and regulations, old prestige, etc. left by Shi Le have already been trampled to a mess.Even some miscellaneous Hu forces in the frontier that were wiped out in the early years have shown signs of revival in recent years.

Those who expressed emotion naturally felt that Shi Le was more or less a generation of British lords. It was an unprecedented feat to rule the Central Plains with a humble background of Zahu. As a result, once he died, his great achievements fell apart immediately.Now it seems that even his blood sons can no longer be preserved, and it is really worthy of a sigh.

But this kind of feeling is just a feeling of the changes of the general trend.Unlucky enough to be born in this world, what people care most about in their hearts is their own safety, misfortune and fortune.

At this moment, some people are concerned about Shihu's blatant arrogance, because they must already have the strength and confidence to end the disputes in Xiangguo.And if he really can take over Xiangguo in a short period of time, at least on the surface, Jieguo has returned from division to unity, and Shi Le's blood will surely disappear, then the forces in Yedi should want to Where do we go from here?
Shihu still has many fans throughout Hebei.Many military leaders who didn't have any big ambitions at first also felt that it was not a bad choice to belong to such a strong lord again.

But some people are not. It is precisely because Shihu is too powerful. Once he takes over Xiangguo, he may not allow all parties to stand on their own. Next, the whole of Hebei may face a round of bloody suppression.Under such circumstances, it is still the way to stand around Wei Wang Shikan and strengthen his momentum to avoid being encircled and removed.

Most of these calculations cannot be discussed on the bright side.Moreover, more people are also curious about how Shihu suddenly showed signs of breaking out?Where does his confidence come from?
As a result, the Huainan Army went north and wiped out Tian Ni's troops, and the news that they had recovered Ji County and were about to attack Yecheng frequently appeared in the population.

For the Huainan Army or Shen Weizhou, the vast majority of Hebei people actually do not have a specific knowledge and understanding.Although the famous battle of the Huainan army was to defeat the country of Jie, which was in full swing at that time, and stepped on the bones of tens of thousands of troops of the country of Jie, it was known to the north and the south, and it deeply affected the situation of the country of Jie today.

More people are mainly concerned about matters related to their own interests, such as which side can win in the current three-legged situation in Hebei.The Huainan army may be strong, and Shen Weizhou may be very strong, but after all, they are thousands of miles away and have no direct connection with them.

But now, the situation is different.The commander of the Huainan army drove thousands of miles, even directly crossed the Yellow River, and took down Jijun. Weijun, where Yecheng is located, is already close at hand, and the battle may happen at any time!
Knowing this, it is easy to understand why Shihu brazenly usurped the rule and claimed to be the king of heaven.In today's Hebei, the Huainan Army and Shen Weizhou are the most powerful than Shi Hu, the former defeated general. In Shi Hu's view, the Huainan Army is absolutely capable of causing trouble for the Yedi Army, making them unable to intervene in Xiangguo It is a war, so I plan to do my best and complete all my achievements in one battle!
After understanding this point, everyone in Yedi undoubtedly became more afraid of the Huainan Army in their hearts.In fact, even without Shihu's factors, the Huainan army took down Jijun and wiped out Tian Ni without making any noise. Such an astonishing result is enough to make people sleepless with horror.

Although there are also reasons for different focus and failure to face up to the threat from the south, the fact that the Huainan army wiped out Tian Ni in such a short period of time is enough to show that its army is so powerful that it is almost destructive!
"Ji County has been lost, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers are approaching the city! After Fangtou, the land of Ye is no longer safe to defend! Everyone, the sword is hanging on your neck, and life and death are at stake. You must not take it lightly any longer. !"

Naturally, there was a lot of discussion around the mansion of King Wei, but the atmosphere inside the mansion was also solemn.In the grand conference hall, there were more than [-] people present, all of whom were important officials in the Wei Palace, as well as powerful military leaders in Ye.Shi Kan's expression was cold and he remained silent, while Chang Shi's shrill and trembling voice echoed throughout the hall.

"In the past, we waited far away and kept close, pretending that there was nothing wrong with Henan. But now, Shen Weizhou has led his troops to Dahe, and the Huainan sword is directly slashing into his heart. I don't know how many people in China will be surrounded and killed by the southern thieves! At this time of crisis, it is really hard to expect to survive. Shen Weizhou is arrogant and arrogant. Judging from his words and deeds in the past, he will never give the people of Hebei the best of both worlds! The only way is to gather All forces, sweep the southern thieves out of the village, and only then can we think about ease again!"

After everyone heard this, they either whispered or bowed their heads in silence.

The people present can be roughly divided into three parts.The first part is that people like Guo Rong, who were originally in the power of Jie Guo, split their bets and followed Wei Wang Shikan.

The second part is about powerful local clans like the You Clan of Guangping. Yedi itself is the place where they live. No matter who dominates this place, their cooperation and support is indispensable.

The third part is miscellaneous Hu Yicong and some Hebei military leaders. They have no independent strength, and they can only guarantee their interests and safety if they belong to a certain party.

Of course, there should be another part, which is the power of Wei Wang Shikan's own direct line.However, Shi Kan himself was an outsider. Before returning to the country under the imperial edict, he led only a few hundred entourages, and the direct line generals like Liu Zheng stayed in Huaibei.

And Tian Ni, the servant most trusted by Shi Kan in the direct line, was directly besieged and wiped out by the Huainan army.The rest are nothing more than a group of generals, with extremely weak prestige and ability.

Therefore, Tian Ni's defeat and death was not just a simple defeat on the battlefield, but also directly pushed Yedi into a dangerous situation of mutual suspicion and mutual trust.

As the lord, Shi Kan no longer has the ability to control the army and deter the situation.But this is by no means good news for the military leaders. Without that kind of top-down pressure, the military leaders will undoubtedly have more initiative and private schemes. You can't get a double surge inside either.

In this way, the entire Ye land will be reduced to a situation where others can slaughter it!
This situation is similar to Jiangdong after Yongjia. Although there is still a nominally orthodox Jin Min Emperor Sima Ye, he is beyond his reach and completely hopeless.And all parties are just around the corner and have their own demands.Because of the Langya Wang family's headed Yuefu Overseas Chinese Clan's full support for Zhongxing, and the compromise of the Wu people's sect, it was possible to gain a foothold in Jiangbiao and establish a legal system.

The current situation in Yedi is even worse than that in Jiangdong in the early years.At the very least, Jiangdong at that time was still occupying a dangerous place, keeping the enemy out, and there were high-ranking celebrities who could convince the public to contact and balance all parties.

But now, a powerful enemy has been directly in Hebei, the original Yellow River Scourge is no longer reliable, and Xiangguo will undergo major changes in the rear, and the internal authority is at a stage of weakening, and it is difficult to achieve unanimity with the outside world.If this situation cannot be improved, then it is an inevitable result to be broken separately!
Guo Rong came forward to host the meeting this time, in fact, to reshape Shi Kan's authority and make these people realize what kind of situation they are facing and what kind of opponent they are facing.

Shen Weizhou was born in a high school in the east of the Yangtze River. He was a young man who achieved great ambitions and made outstanding achievements. The Huainan Army under his command was one of the most elite troops in the world. Moreover, the Northern Expedition went smoothly, and he was victorious.

Under such circumstances, even if ordinary people want to seek refuge, they may not be accepted, and even if they are accepted, they may not be valued so as to preserve their original rights.This can be seen from the fact that Yuzhou people fled north in groups.

When it comes to fame and power, Shen Weizhou may be inferior to Zhongshan Wang Shihu, but he will never tolerate these township clans and military leaders like Shi Kan.

The alliance under the city must be a great disgrace!
This is the situation Yedi is facing right now. The commander of the Huainan army drove straight into Hebei without encountering any decent resistance.And the situation in Xiangguo will soon undergo major changes, and the situation in Hebei will also undergo major changes.

Even if they wanted to surrender right now, they couldn't find a suitable partner at all.The state of Xiang is in danger, but Shi Hu has not succeeded in taking over the state of Xiang after all, and his prestige was greatly damaged by the defeat at Huai Shang in the early years. At the time, people were optimistic about him at most, and no one dared to be sure that Shi Hu would win the final victory .

As for Shen Weizhou in Huainan, he was an extremely arrogant person. In the order of the Governor's Mansion issued in the early years, these people present were all targets that needed to be eradicated.Even if the follow-up decree is slightly relaxed, the situation of the Huainan Army is very good now, and they will definitely not impose more tolerance on them.

Many things can be thought but hard to say.Even if there are many people here who want to join the Huainan Army, after listening to Guo Rong's analysis, they all feel that this is definitely not a good opportunity to surrender. The strength of the hero will be negotiable in the future.

Of course, it would be a better result for them if the Huainan army could be driven back.The first is to preserve the foundational land of Ye, and the second is to take this victory to go north to Xiangguo, and even participate in Xiangguo's internal struggle.

Shi Kan also put away his grief at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Huainan's northward advance this time is really unexpected. The town general Tian Ni is negligent in his duties because of his closeness. He cannot stubbornly resist the enemy. Even if he does not die, he will not He must be severely punished for his crime! But the people in Huainan are by no means unstoppable, they are scattered..."

Being able to be crowned king with a false son, and being entrusted by Shi Le to support his loneliness, although Shi Kan's character is a bit weak, he is by no means mediocre.Putting aside the military situation and avoiding the important, explain it lightly, and at the same time endure the grief and belittle Tian Ni who died in the battle, in order to dispel the impression that the Huainan army is invincible in everyone's mind.

"This situation seems to be a life-or-death situation, but it is not a good opportunity for me to be a hero in Yedi! A man despised by the sky. Shen Wei and Zhou Xingliu were saved because they took advantage of the situation in previous years. The little thief never came to the North Kingdom in his life, and the heroes gathered here, how can we allow raccoon slaves to step in!"

Shi Kan also knew that it would be difficult to impress people with empty words such as loyalty, and he had to show a real attitude to strengthen the stubbornness of these people against the southern thieves: "In the past, I was entrusted by the ancestor, but now I am For His Majesty's trust, sit in the south, the southern thieves are invading the territory, and the country is currently in danger. The only way to repay your kindness is to fight to the death. After today's small meeting, I will leave for Liyang immediately, and I will never allow the southern thieves to harm the north again! I hope you can share with me Zhi, when the battle is successful, you will be honored and rewarded, and I will sit with you all to receive it!"

When everyone heard this, their blood was racing for a while. Although they had their own thoughts before, since they named Shi Kan as the co-owner, they all recognized Shi Kan's talent and strength.Therefore, all of them left the meeting to express their willingness to fully support Shi Kan.At least before the defeat is doomed, Yedi is still a harbor that they need to protect together.

Shi Kan also heaved a sigh of relief after getting everyone's opinions, and at the same time, there was no lack of sadness in his heart.The outcome of this battle is related to his life and death.Shen Weizhou, the raccoon slave, wrote a few proclamations, all of which denounced him as an evil seed who recognized a thief as his father, leaving no room for it.If this battle is not victorious, he will surely perish, already intending to fight to the death.

The opinions expressed by the people present are somewhat credible, so Shi Kan doesn't have to think about it right now.In this battle, he was using his life to win a better future for these people. As long as these people are not so stupid, they should understand what is more important now.

Shi Kan decided to go south to supervise the battle in Liyang in person, but Jijun couldn't relax, and had to take advantage of the Huainan Army's unstable foothold and send heavy generals to take it back, so as to push the defense line back to the Yellow River again.

When Shi Kan was hesitant, Guo Rong took the initiative to invite Ying.Apart from Guo Rong, Shi Kan really didn't have anyone who could trust him right now, so after pondering for a while, he agreed to Guo Rong's invitation to fight, and sent a few generals along with him, leading [-] elite troops to Jijun immediately westward.

　The weather was fatal. It rained in the afternoon and followed by a sauna day. After going out, I was sweating and caught a cold when I came home. . .
