Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 257
"Ran Min lost, where is he missing?" Li Yue looked at Zhang Shengye.

"Ran Min abandoned his camp to fight and was fighting with Yao Xiang and Shi Kun. Yue Wan suddenly rushed out. The Wei army was caught off guard. Shi Zhi from Xiangguo took the opportunity to attack the Wei army's camp. !"

Zhang Shengye's words silenced the hall.

Although Ran Min's defeat was expected, it was unexpected that he lost so badly.

Ran Min has come to this day thanks to his excellent martial arts, and now he has failed in the battlefield he is best at, and the blow to Ran Wei is fatal.

It took about one year and three months for Ran Min to rise up, become an emperor and establish a country, and flourish.

Its prosperity is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden...

"The matter in the east depends entirely on the general's decision." Li Yue rushed to Jia Jian and cupped his hands.

The three counties in eastern Hebei have a large territory, and the Heiyun army cannot fully defend it, so the best way is to rely on the local powerful to jointly resist the Yan army.

"Don't worry, the governor, Bohai will be here if your subordinates are here!" Jia Jian quietly changed his position.

Over the past month, Li Yue has used various methods to win over the Bohai tyrants, and has gained a lot. The remaining tyrants are basically people who do not want to surrender to the Murong family.

Jia Jian has a high reputation in Eastern Jidong, and Li Yue can basically feel at ease with him around.

"It doesn't have to be like this. If you save people and lose land, you will lose all your land. If you lose your land, you will lose all your land. If nothing can be done, the general can lead the people to cross the river and escape into Yanzhou." Li Yue made the worst plan.

This battle also demonstrated the true strength of the Murong family.

Without Murong Ke and Murong Chui's actions, Ran Min's [-] troops were destroyed...

A piece of Lu Tuo water can't stop the iron hooves of the Yan army going south. Maybe this winter, when the river freezes, the Yan army will make a comeback.

"Captain..." Jia Jian sighed.

"There is also Lukou, please pay more attention and try to be harmonious with him."

"My subordinates know." Jia Jian cupped his hands and saluted.

Chang Wei, who was on an envoy to Lukou, did not return for a long time, which made Li Yue a little worried, and he didn't know what happened.

Now that Ran Wei has undergone drastic changes, Li Yue has no choice but to return to Chenliu.

Wang Wu was able to become the governor of a state and command an army of tens of thousands, so he wouldn't be so short-sighted.

I can only let Xiaozuo slowly inquire.

After everything was settled, Li Yue led his army back to Chenliu.

At this time, the news of Ran Min's defeat spread all over the north and south of the river, and countless people from the north moved south with their families.

But this time he did not go to Jiangdong, but to Yanzhou.

Li Yue felt a sense of relief, the people's eyes are discerning, and his efforts for the past two years have not been in vain.

Yanzhou has been full of vitality after the accumulation of last year.

Looking at the ragged and skinny refugees, Li Yue ordered the Heiyun army to cook porridge along the way, drive away wild animals, and escort them south.

At the major ferries in the south of the Yellow River, officials from Yanzhou had already contacted them, sending refugees to Chenliu in waves.

The school officials secretly visited various places, and there was no more robbery and killing of refugees like last year.

The tyrants know the existence of school affairs, and they have changed their rules a lot.

Yanzhou is developing towards the way Li Yue hoped, maybe three years, maybe five years, it will definitely be very different, but unfortunately, in this chaotic world, the situation is changing suddenly, so there is no such time.

Just after returning to Chenliu, the bad news from the north came again.

Ran Min's [-] troops were wiped out, and he himself was nowhere to be found.

The king of Taiyuan and the great Shanyu Ran Yin were taken hostage by Ran Min who rewarded him with a thousand Hu captives, and escorted him to Xiangguo.

Also captured were Sikong Shipu, Shangshu Ling Xu Ji, Chariot General Hu Mu, Attendant Li Lin, Zhongshu Supervisor Lu Chen, Shaofu Wang Yu, Shangshu Liu Qin, Liu Xiu, etc.

Ran Wei was almost wiped out, and all the people in the country were exhausted.

Shi Zhi struck while the iron was hot and ordered General Liu Xian to lead an army of [-] to attack Yecheng.

Duan Kan at Fangtou shifted his gaze from south to north, preparing to attack Yecheng.

Ran Wei was in a state of destruction.

The only good news is that there is still no news from Ran Min.

Although it was rumored that Ran Min was killed in battle, it was not confirmed.

He is tall and powerful, and his equipment and horses are more conspicuous. If he is on the battlefield of a deadly battle, he will definitely be found by the barbarians and show off.

There is no movement in Beidi now, which means that Ran Min is no longer in their hands.

However, after this battle, even if Ran Min survived, Ran Wei's time was almost numbered. He fell from the peak to the bottom, and he no longer had the strength to compete with the Yan Kingdom.

Shi Pu, Lu Chen, and Liu Qin are not ordinary people. Behind each surname is a force in the north.

"The whole army takes turns resting for three days. After ten days, the army will gather and go north with XX!" Li Yue looked at the wind and cloud rolling from the north to the south, and this wind and cloud finally pushed him to the cusp of the storm.

Ran Min's defeat had an extremely far-reaching impact.

Jiang Dong is also sharpening his sword and revisiting the Northern Expedition.

"No matter what, Yecheng and Guangzong cannot fall into the hands of barbarians!" Cui Jin also became resolute in a rare way.

"Naturally, if Ran Min can't do it, it's up to us to step up!"

In the land of hundreds of battles in the Central Plains, if you do not enter, you will perish.

To the south of Yanzhou are Jiangdong and Jingxiang, two stable powers, with no room for development. Guanzhong is the old nest of the Fu family, and the only place where they can make progress is Hebei.

It can be said that Yecheng is Li Yue's only chance.

If he can't win Yecheng, he will either be stabbed to death in the back by the Jiangbei Expedition, or he will be trampled to death by the Murong family's iron hooves in the future.

With Li Yue's order, the whole area of ​​Yanzhou was preparing, and the food, weapons, and young people all gathered in Chenliu.

Hei Yunjun returned to the army after spending a few days with his family.

The southern army happily brought food, armor, and weapons from all over the country. They could get huge benefits in every battle, including horses, equipment, women, fields, money, and food.

After the infiltration and influence of Honglu officials, the Yanzhou army has gradually broken away from the status of a powerful tribe and began to favor Li Yue.

There are only two things in Yanzhou now: preparing for war and preparing for farming.

Fortunately, a large number of refugees from Hebei have been immigrated in an endless stream, which has added a lot of manpower to Yanzhou.

The only thing Li Yue is waiting for now is Yecheng's call for help.

Shi Pu, Lu Chen and others were captured, but Liu Qun escaped back to Yecheng safely, as well as Dong Run, Zhang Wen and others. The influence of the Heiyun Army on Yecheng was unprecedented.

Looking at the north and south of the river, the only one who can rescue Yecheng is Li Yue!
Chen Liu's [-] troops are ready to go.

But before the request letter from Yecheng came, a secret letter arrived, without signature and unfamiliar handwriting.

There are only six words on the letter: Your Majesty has replied, don't move!
This secret letter was like a bucket of cold water poured on the head.

"It's Zhangcao. It's not an ordinary person. Nine times out of ten it's true. Since His Majesty survived, our army must not act rashly." Cui Jin pondered over the secret letter repeatedly.

Calligraphy prevailed in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and a person's calligraphy is a person's face.

Those who can write well will never have a low status.

Now that Ran Min is back, Li Yue is not in a hurry to go north, "Then wait and see."

Someone begging you to go, and coming uninvited are completely two concepts.

When Dong Zhuo was invited into Luoyang by He Jin, he got out of hand.

The major factions in Yecheng, not only the begging army, but also the Heiyun army headed north, even if the intention is good, they will be criticized.
