Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 263
There are so many unclaimed lands in Hebei, and Duan niches are not selected, but Fangtou is chosen to settle down, which is not insignificant.

In troubled times, there has never been a shortage of people with such unrestrained imagination.

Last year, Ma Qiu wanted to kill Fu Hong, annex his people, and proclaim himself emperor according to Guanzhong...

"Duan niche must be removed." Li Yue's simple words contained infinite power.

The capital has been surrounded for more than two months, and the grain in Tongshanpi and Baisibei is almost ripe. Wouldn't retreating at this time be a waste of all previous efforts?
When retreating, if Duan Kan and Duan Wei were hanging behind with light cavalry, it would be difficult for the Heiyun army to retreat calmly.

Wei Shan saw the wind and turned the rudder, "Haha, what the governor said is true. With my Heiyun army, we can break through Fangtou. Why do we need the help of Wei army?"

Chang Wei said: "If the commander-in-chief wants to attack Fangtou, he will probably need to increase his troops. Now our army is still attacking Qingzhou."

"Then make Chen Liu strong and strong, and surround Fangtou to death!"

In any case, Fangtou cannot have another hostile force.

If you don't kill Duan Kan, Chen Liu will have trouble sleeping and eating.

The Duan Clan's Xianbei is different from other forces, they have more family background, when the time comes to raise their arms, the old Duan Clan in Hebei will gather to respond, and maybe they will jump up.

"Follow the order!" All the generals in the tent cupped their hands one after another.

Li Yue then ordered Wei Shan to lead [-] Heiyun troops into the camp left by the Wei army.

Chen Liuqingzhuang and southern troops from all over Yanzhou came across the river in an endless stream.

Li Yue made up his mind and worked every step of the way, using almost the entire strength of Yanzhou. Before and after, [-] to [-] young men and [-] southern troops went north.

More than [-] people do not do other things every day, but keep digging
The trenches were piled up layer by layer, completely trapping Fangtou.

All the reclaimed land around Fangtou has been trimmed and replanted with beans and various vegetables.

The young and strong also led Qingshui and Qishui into the camp, not only to guard against Duan Kan's cavalry, but also to raise fish by the way.

Although the Wei army retreated, Fangtou was surrounded more tightly.

Without Ran Min's restraint, the Heiyun army was united as one.

Li Yue didn't attack the city either, just stuck Fangtou like this, to see how long Duan Kan could last.

In a big battle, it is often not ingenious strategies that determine the outcome, but which side makes mistakes first and loses its temper first.

"Captain, Zhang Yu of Xuchang has [-] troops stationed in Changshe, intending to attack north." Zhang Shengye collected all kinds of news from the scouts.

Sixty or seventy miles northwest of Changshe is Xingyang, and more than a hundred miles northeast is Chenliu.

There is an obvious intention to covet Yanzhou by stationing troops here.

Li Yue said: "Go and write a letter to Zhang Yu, saying that the Heiyun army is at Fangtou, and Chen Liu is empty. Please hurry up and go north, don't hesitate."

Wei Shan was taken aback, "This..."

Chang Wei laughed: "Zhang Yu has always been cautious and suspicious. If our army is heavily guarded, he will definitely pester him endlessly, but if we invite him to go north, he will definitely hesitate."

Zhang Yu has been nesting in Xuchang for the past two years, with Huan Wen standing on his right and Yin Hao standing on his left, and he never dared to move.

The Heiyun Army is no longer the Heiyun Army of the past, and Zhang Yu is still the same Zhang Yu.

Jiangdong was making plans for the Northern Expedition again, and Li Yue didn't believe that he dared to march north at this time.

In other words, now is the best chance to kill Duan Kan.

The siege continued.

Facing Li Yue's steady and steady attack, Duan Kan's thousands of Qingqi had no choice but to harass the rear.

But in July, the world began to shake again.

Murong Biao besieged Zhongshan for more than half a year, and finally broke the city. Hou Kan, the governor of Zhongshan, surrendered to Murong.

Inspired by this battle, Liu Xian led an army of [-] troops southward to attack Yecheng after licking his wounds.

The impact of the Xiangguo War gradually unfolded, and people with discerning eyes have already seen that Ran Wei's time is numbered.

Duan Kan's cousin, Duan Qin, another faction of Duan's Xianbei, also went south from the north and fled into Yimu County, Pingyuan County. More than [-] people from the Hu and Jie tribes claimed to be Emperor Zhao.

Hebei Qihuo generals Zhu Tuo, Du Neng, Ding Rao, Sun Yuan, etc. each ruled counties and counties, or they were called generals, or they were governors, and they ruled one side separately.

Xuzhou Inspector Ran Yu of Ran Wei, Yuzhou Inspector Wei Tong, and Jingzhou Inspector Le Hong each returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with their cities.

Ran Wei's territory is only a few counties around Yecheng.

Many forces that nominally surrendered to Ran Min no longer surrendered.

And Duan Kan also became active. After entering July, he launched counterattacks against Duan Wei in the middle of Fangtou City several times in a row.

In the siege, Li Yue admitted that there was no way to take them for a while, but in the field battle, the Black Cloud Army was waiting for this opportunity.

With geographical advantages and military advantages in hand, the Duan family is naturally not an opponent.

In several offensive and defensive battles, those who were killed threw away their helmets and armor.

The fact that Duan Kan is so anxious to attack shows that the situation in Fangtou is not optimistic.

At the end of July, Duan Kan's general Wang Tengyu surrendered.

His surrender had a huge impact, which meant that all the Jin forces in Fangtou City had their heart for Li Yue.

"As long as the governor orders the attack on the city, and his subordinates are willing to be the vanguard, the city will definitely turn against him!" Wang Teng said, patting his chest.

Wei Shan glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly.

Li Duankan and Duan Wei are very cunning, and it is not sure whether it is their trick to surrender.

"General Wang is both wise and brave, and the talent of a general. However, the crops outside the city are about to mature, so there is no need to rush." ​​Li Yue has the winning ticket, so there is no need to worry.

Moreover, he hoped that Duan Wei in the city would voluntarily surrender.

The Heiyun Army took Fangtou at the least cost.

The food outside Fangtou City is the lifeline.

The army continued to besiege the city.

Within a few days, news came from Ye City that Ran Min, who was rightly Ran Min, once again repelled Liu Xian's [-] army, captured and beheaded [-] people, and captured more than [-] horses. Come to Fangtou, it's a consolation.

Li Yue naturally expressed his congratulations.

Although Liu Xian was defeated again, the chaos in Hebei was not restored.

Ran Wei's territory became smaller and smaller.

At the same time, the surrounding forces expanded rapidly.

The strength of Zhangping Xinxing, Yanmen, Xihe, Taiyuan and other counties has greatly improved.

After Fu Jian captured Chang'an, he killed Jia Xuanshuo who suggested that he return to Jiangdong. He claimed to be the King of Qin and the Great Chanyu, amnesty Guanzhong, reigned as Huangshi, and the country was named Daqin.Liqiang's family was the queen, Fu Chang was the crown prince, and Fu Xiong was the prime minister, the governor of all Chinese and foreign military forces, the general of chariots and riders, and the governor of Yongzhou.

Cui Jin also lived up to the expectations of Li Yue, captured Qingzhou and occupied the whole territory. More than [-] households of the Chinese people in Qingzhou were included in their pockets. .

There are more than 170 million shi of grain and grass, [-] heads of livestock, [-] war horses, and countless money and silk.

The crops in Qingzhou's fields have not yet begun to be harvested.

This battle can be said to be fruitful, directly bringing Yanzhou's strength to a new level.

Li Yue directly ordered Cui Jin to be the general of Dongzhong Lang, and Ran Min was invited to be the governor of Qingzhou.

"Come here, shoot the book to the Fangtou city, and make Duan Wei surrender!" Li Yue looked at the tall Fangtou city wall, full of ambitions in his heart.

Fighting for world hegemony has taken the most solid step.

If Qingzhou is won, it will become one with the three counties in eastern Jidong. It will not be so easy for Murong Jun to bypass Lukou and go south like last time.
