Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 334

In a battle that concerns the fate of the two countries, Murong Ke, as the No. 1 general of the Yan Kingdom, cannot fail to end.

Li Yue stared in the direction of Lukou, looking for Murong Ke, and ignored Chang Shan.

It is an objective fact that national strength is inferior to others. This must be clearly understood.

When Yan State was at its peak, the 10,000+ troops on the west road were not all the strength of Yan State. If they attacked blindly, they would only repeat the mistakes made by Ran Min.

The suppressing troops from Yanzhou gathered in Liyang one after another, ready to support Lukou at any time, and the suppressing troops from all over Qingzhou also gathered in Bohai.

Yang Lue even transferred [-]% of the school officials to Lukou. Once Lu Hu fell to the Murong family, he would immediately launch a mutiny.

This battle has entered a critical moment.

"Your Highness..." Zhang Shengye said with a bitter look on his face.

"Say."

"Murong Chui attacked Zhending fiercely, but Su Yan couldn't resist it and surrendered to the Yan thieves. His son Su Quan broke out of the siege and returned to Yecheng with more than a hundred cavalry. Murong Chui sent his army south, and the troops in Changshan retreated to Julu and Anping. county……"

Changshan fell, and Li Yue was mentally prepared.

Su Yan had tried his best to resist Murong Chui for more than half a month with only more than [-] troops.

"Where is Su Quan?"

"Waiting for His Highness's summons outside the palace."

Li Yue stood up and went out of the palace to greet him in person. This man was indeed loyal and brave and did not follow Su Yan and surrender to Murong Chui.

Loyalty is the quality that Li Yue values ​​most. It doesn't matter if the ability is poor. Ability can be cultivated, but loyalty cannot.

Being able to break out from the siege of 10,000+ troops, the ability will not be much worse.

"Your Highness...your subordinates are incompetent...failed to hold Changshan..." Su Quan burst into tears, the armor on his body was riddled with holes, and there were six or seven arrows embedded in it. The blood had already dried up and clotted on it.

Li Yue hurriedly helped him up, "The Yan bandits' army of more than [-] people marched southward. Your father and son can resist until today. It is a merit and no fault."

Cao Wei once had a method of war in which the enemy besieged a city and those who could withstand it for a hundred days would not be guilty of surrendering.

Although Su Yan only resisted for sixteen or seventeen days, it cannot be generalized. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei was the strongest, and it was not difficult to resist for a hundred days.

Now that the Liang Kingdom is newly established and the Yan Kingdom is strong and prosperous, it would be a good idea not to surrender immediately.

After all, Su Yan is not his direct descendant.

"Thank...your highness." Su Quan said incoherently.

Li Yue took off his coat and put it on for him, "As expected of an orphaned son, come here, take it down so that you can heal your wounds, and after your wounds are healed, follow me to conquer the world!"

"Take the order!" Su Quan's eyes flashed with light.

The Shangwu Hall is like an oven, constantly tempering their spirit and will. The weapons of thought are sometimes sharper than swords. Li Yue has never doubted this.

After the scourge of the Sima clan and the gentry, what China lacks most is a vigorous and upward spirit.

Changshan was captured, and the Yan army was as powerful as a rainbow.

Zhang Ping, who was stationed in Lutai, also joined the feast, and went south with Murong Chui, trying to share a piece of Liang Guo's pie.

The strength of the Yan army increased again, nearly 17 horses, known as an army of 30, the north of Yecheng was turbulent, and the hearts of the people were turbulent.

The people of Julu and Anping counties either fled south or surrendered directly to the Yan State and were moved to Zhongshan County.

"Since Changshan is conquered, Julu, Anping, Gaoyang and other counties in central Hebei will be exposed to the Yan army's front." Cui Hong's eyes were full of worry.

Yan and Liang competed for the upper hand in Hebei, and the Yan State conquered the city first, freeing up Murong Chui's 10,000+ army.

Yecheng is impregnable, so we are not afraid of it, but the counties to the east of Yecheng may be difficult to resist.The pressure hung over Li Yue's head again.

Murong Ke was not the only one who Yan could defeat. Mu Yugen and Yue Wan were both veteran generals on the battlefield, not to mention Murong Chui.

There are very few people around Li Yue who can take charge of their own business.

Wei Shan is a good charger, Cui Jin can defend but lacks offense. Xu Cheng, Gao Yun and others are all in the growth stage. In such a battle related to the national destiny, Li Yue naturally needs to be more cautious.

This is also the reason why Liang Guo is on the defensive as a whole.

In the current situation, with no large army from Yecheng, Murong Chui's 10,000+ West Route Army alone can sweep through the counties in central Hebei.

Once Yecheng's army faced Murong Ke, needless to say, not only Murong Ke's East Route Army would be defeated, but Jicheng's Murong Jun would also take action.

Murong Jun was not a powerless emperor. He once led his troops to defeat the Duan clan and return from Xianbei.

When the Yan State attacked Fuyu State, Murong Ke was the vanguard, and Murong Jun supervised the troops. The brothers worked together to destroy Fuyu.

Although there was a second line of defense deployed by Cui Jin on the front lines of Julu and Anping, Murong Chui had an army of 10,000+ and was surrounded by famous generals.

In other words, someone must block Murong Chui's army on the west route.

Li Yue's mind quickly flashed through the civil and military personnel under his command, including Liu Qun, Wei Shan, Cui Jin, Bo Wu, Chen Duan, Xu Cheng, Gao Yun...

It seems that no one can compete with Murong Ke, Mu Yugen and Yue Wan.

"Come, go to Dong'a quickly to summon the king back to Ye!" Li Yue underestimated the Yan army's determination.

If Murong didn't take action, it would be fine. If he did, he would be aiming to destroy the country.

Even Tuoba Shi Yijian and Zhang Ping participated.

Now that Changshan had been conquered, news came from the east that Murong Ke had moved. Twenty thousand cavalry bypassed Lukou and went south from Zhangwu County. Mi Jin and Qin Biao could not resist. Murong Ke crossed the Lutuo River and walked from the river. Directly into Anping County.

Judging from his posture, it is obvious that he wants to join Murong Chui in Jizhong.

The two groups of troops met in the middle of Jizhou, and Liang's territory in Hebei was divided into two by the Yan army.

Murong Ke and Murong Chui could swallow up all the counties except Yecheng one bite at a time.

Even the Yan army can clean up the major crossings of the Yellow River and cut Liang Guo into two pieces. Going a step further, if Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Murong Chui, and Yue Wan cross the river at random, it will be a blow to the morale of Liang Guo. A heavy blow.

Murong Ke took action, fast and hard.

The [-] cavalrymen ignored Cui Jin's interception and rushed left and right, always finding the weak spots in Cui Jin's defense.

And with such a long line of defense, it is simply impossible to be foolproof.

Cui Jin and Bo Wu's nearly [-]-strong army were helpless against Murong Ke's [-] infantry and cavalry.

If you can't surround it, you can't fight it, you can't win it, you can't defend it, you can't advance or retreat.

Fortunately, Cui Jin did not attack blindly in the face of Murong Ke's provocation.

Lu Hu, on the other hand, just hunkered down in Lukou City, turning a blind eye to the Yan army outside the city, and even left their logistics and equipment unattended.

Today's Lukou is useless.

Lu Hu shamelessly sent a memorial, "...The Yan army is powerful, Murong Ke is famous all over the world, and the [-] troops under his command are all elites in hundreds of battles. I know that I am no match for Ke, so I can only defend Lu for His Highness." However, the city is short of food and its morale is low. I still hope that Your Highness will rush to help with [-] grains, [-] livestock, and some fine wine..."

Let Murong Ke's [-]-strong army go south, and this guy still has the audacity to ask for a reward...

I have seen shameless people, but this is the first one who is so shameless.

He stood up again, seemingly surrendering to himself, but in fact he was cooperating with the Yan army's offensive.
