Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 244
The capital of Jiezhao was originally in Xiangguo.

In the second year of Jiaping in the former Zhao Dynasty, Zhang Bin once said to Shile: Handan Xiangguo, the old capital of Zhao, is surrounded by mountains and dangerous, and the situation is solid, so you can choose the second city to make the capital.

Shile then chose Xiangguo, Gai because of its superior location, with Youyan in the north, Bindai in the right, and Jiluo in the south.

Then the world was divided into three prefectures and 24 counties, and Xiangguo City was built. The city wall can lie on the cow, so it is called Woniu City. There are four sub-city guards outside the city, east, west, south, north, and it took 18 years to complete the construction.

At its peak, the population of Xiangguo was as high as 70.

It is the most important lair of the Jie people, and its status is no less than that of Yecheng.

Now there are more than [-] Ran Wei troops gathered under the city of Xiangguo, stretching as far as the eye can see.

However, the Wei army continued to attack for more than [-] days, but only broke through a sub-city. The Jie people in the city burned themselves to death, and Xiangguo was as stable as Mount Tai.

Many of the Jie people in the city were "nationals" recovered from Yecheng, and they were devoted to Jie Zhao. Even if Ran Min re-established the Great Chanyu and recruited Hu people, he would not be moved and resolutely resisted.

Governor Ran Min fought to the death, digging tunnels and building earth hills, but they were unable to defeat them.

So they built houses outside Xiangguo City, reinforced camps, and plowed the ground, thinking that it would last forever.

Under the city wall of Xiangguo, there were piles of rotting corpses, and the city was also dyed dark red.

On the city wall, the banner with the word "Zhao" fluttered wantonly in the cold wind.

Ran Min felt irritated for a while, since he ascended the throne, he has been invincible, invincible and invincible. Seeing that Jie Zhao is on his last breath, Xiangguo cannot be attacked no matter what.

And he obviously felt that the morale of Wei Jun was not as good as before.

"Your Majesty, Yanzhou is here." Farao relied on the skill of prophecy, and gradually gained Ran Min's reuse.

During this expedition, they left Wang Jian in Yecheng and took him northward, which shows how much they value him.

"Read." Ran Min was not in high spirits.

"Chen Yue said: Your Majesty is the first to attack Xiangguo, but the Murong family went south and invaded the counties and counties in the east of Jibei. In fact, they secretly peeked at the situation of Xiangguo. If your majesty can't defeat Xiangguo, I'm afraid that the swallows will stop in a blink of an eye... "

Hearing this, Ran Min became even more irritable, "What does he want to do?"

"Send troops to the north to resist Murong Jun!" Farao quickly glanced at the bamboo slips, and said concisely.

But in his heart, he slandered Yanzhou for being poor, and he couldn't even part with a piece of yellow silk.

"Oh?" Ran Min's irritable mood calmed down a little.

The Heiyun army fought against the Yan army, and he couldn't ask for it.

"Captain Li is somewhat loyal." Farao said a good word for the carload of money and silk sent by Yanzhou.

Yanzhou was not happy to give gifts. Others gave him ten carts and hundreds of boxes. Only Yanzhou was the poorest, with a cart of money and silk, and no gold.

However, Farao is still very trustworthy, and if he accepts other people's things, he will definitely do things well.

"Loyalty?" Ran Min sneered, "If he was really loyal, he wouldn't have met me in Lu County last year! This trip to the north is just an opportunity to enter."

Farao hurriedly said: "Although it is an opportunity to enter, it is also beneficial to His Majesty."

Xiangguo was unable to attack for a long time, Murong Jun watched in the east, Yao Yizhong held his troops at Shitou, and Shi Kun gathered the defeated army in the Cangting battle in Handan, winning [-] troops.

The situation is not good for Ran Wei.

For the time being, Ran Min didn't have the time to deal with Heiyun's army, "Decree, make Li Yue the governor of the East, and leave the festival."

Li Yue stayed in Liyang for more than half a month, and the Heiyun army from Hebei patrolling gathered here one after another.

Chenliu's granary was also transported across the river, and Liyang became the place where the Heiyun army went out in Hebei.

After the capture of Yangcheng, the soldiers took turns to take a rest for a month and a half, reunited with their families, and relieved their fatigue.

It was not until after the autumn harvest that they began to hunt around, and hunting can also relax the body and mind, otherwise the Huns Liu and Jie Zhaoshi would not be bored.

"Captain, the imperial edict of Wei Lord has arrived!" Chang Wei held a piece of yellow silk.

The military situation was urgent, and Ran Min was in the army, so he kept everything simple and did not engage in so many ceremonies, so he sent a fast horse to deliver the edict and returned.

Li Yue spread out the edict, and was overjoyed when he saw the appointment.

It doesn't matter if you ask the governor of the East, but the holiday is very important.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the right to hold festivals has been divided into four classes. False festival battleaxes, such as the emperor's presence, can kill festival generals.Envoys holding festivals can behead officials under two thousand stones.Holding the festival, you can kill officials under two thousand stones in wartime.False festivals have no right to dispose of people in peacetime, and generals and officials who do not obey military orders can be killed in wartime.

To frighten the tyrants in eastern Jidong, a holiday is enough.

"Where is Murong Jun?" Li Yue asked.

Zhang Shengye clasped his hands and said: "The Yan army came like the wind, Zhangwu and Hejian counties all surrendered, Murong Jun ordered Murong Ping to attack Bohai County, and was attacked by Liu Zhun, governor of Youzhou, Pang Yue, prefect of Bohai, Jia Jian and others If you resist, you will not be able to attack for a long time. In addition, when Murong Ke attacked Zhongshan, the prefect of Zhongshan, Hou Kan, defended the walls and cleared the field, and Murong Ke was also unable to attack for a long time."

It is very difficult for the Yan army to go south on Qingqi, and it is difficult to break through the city. The two counties of Zhangwu and Hejian should have surrendered directly, otherwise it would not be so fast.

Hou Kan, the prefect of Zhongshan, was an unexpected surprise. He was loyal to Ran Min and could withstand Murong Ke's attack, so he was also considered a party figure.

There are so many powerful men in Bohai County, Murong Jun is not so easy to eat.

Liu Zhun, Pang Yue and Li Yue had heard about it a long time ago, and they were the first to respond to Ran Min's establishment of the country.

But Jia Jian and Li Yue had no image.

Zhang Shengye said: "Jia Jian used to be the governor of Jiezhao Palace. He was so strong that he could open a three-stone bow. When Ran Wei established the country, Jia Jian saw that Ran Min was killing and attacking heavily. He was disheartened. Thousands of families are guarding Wubao."

As long as he can resist Murong, he is his ally.

"Order the army to set off immediately to rescue Bohai!" Li Yue did not hesitate.

If Bohai County is captured by Murong Jun, the situation in the east of Jizhou will be over.

The soldiers had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for Li Yue's military order.

The army went east along the Yellow River and went straight to the Bohai Sea.

With Ran Min's edict, no one dared to stop along the way, and Heiyun Junqiu did not commit any crime.

Entering Qinghe County, there was a Qiang cavalry following behind to peep.

"It's two hundred miles away from here, it must be sent by Yao Yizhong." Chang Wei said.

A few months ago, Yao Xiang's tens of thousands of troops attacked Fangtou, and was defeated by Fu Hong, who captured and beheaded more than [-] people. Yao Yizhong's vitality was severely injured, and it was impossible for him to recover so quickly.

If Chang Wei hadn't mentioned it, Li Yue would have almost forgotten about this person.

"Don't worry about it, if he dares to come, he will be destroyed together!"

Li Yue had no choice but to let Yao Yizhong stay in his lair, but if he sent troops, Li Yue wouldn't mind letting him taste the sword of the Heiyun Army.

Yao Yizhong couldn't even defeat the Fu family, let alone fight against the Heiyun army.

Sure enough, the thousand or so Qiang cavalry were just hanging behind. Seeing that the Heiyun army was heading eastward and had no intention of heading north, they retreated.

However, the Qiang cavalry retreated, and the Qinghe Cui family posted up again, slaughtering pigs and sheep to reward the Heiyun army who crossed the border.

Cui Jin held a high position in Yanzhou, and the Cui family welcomed him back to the clan. With Li Yue's acquiescence, many Cui family children also entered Yanzhou to develop.

As the Black Cloud Army crossed the border, they naturally did not miss the opportunity to show their courtesy.

The pigs and sheep offered were nothing more than that, and the Heiyun Army did not lack these hundreds of livestock, but the information Cui sent made Li Yue's eyes shine.

The Cui family has taken root in Hebei for hundreds of years, and they have a clear understanding of the local snakes, the deployment of the Yan army, their strength, logistics supply routes, the mountains and rivers of the Bohai Sea, and so on.

Even Yao Yizhong, who was sick in bed, reported it together...

The hundred-year-old gentry is really extraordinary.
