Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 382
Lutai.

Seventy or eighty thousand Yan troops besieged the city for many days.

Murong Ping and Mu Yugen attacked fiercely more than ten times, but they were unable to break through the city and suffered heavy casualties.

Murong Ke remained silent.

"I'm afraid someone is using this city to consume our strength! He clearly has more than ten thousand elite Jin people who are good at attacking the city, but he allows you and me to attack the city!" Mu Yugen gradually came to his senses.

"Didn't you and I take the initiative to ask for a fight before?" Murong Ping was still confused. Murong Ke surrounded and refused to attack. Instead, it was the two of them who were anxious to attack.

"Hmph, this is the cleverness of Murong Ke. If he gave the order, how could you and I still exert such effort? Yue Wan has already gone to Liaodong to copy our mistakes. He deliberately delayed you and me here to cooperate with Yue Wan!" Mu Yugen draws inferences from one instance.

"What do you want? Now that the power at home and abroad is in his hands, if you and I don't listen to orders, we will follow the truth! Don't think too much, Xuan Gong has always been upright, and the country is in troubled times. If we take Bingzhou, what will happen to you? It’s all good for me!”

After all, Murong Ping was from the Murong family, and his words left Mu Yugen speechless.

"If what I predict is true, there will be big news in the near future. I heard that Feng Yi has entered Taiyuan and has negotiated with the people there."

"Who is it?" Mu Yugen was curious.

Murong Ping laughed and said, "How could such a secret be spread so easily? I just heard it through hearsay."

"Two generals, the governor has urgent military affairs to discuss." The soldier said outside the tent.

Murong Ping smiled and said: "Here he comes!"

The two entered the Chinese army's tent side by side, and other generals arrived one after another.

"Everyone, the Liang army defeated the Jin army in Huainan, Chen's army was in the north of the Yangtze River, and Huan Wen has retreated!" Murong Ke's words cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.

"Jiangdong is so unlucky!" Fu Mobo, the brave general, frowned.

Murong Qian said: "Jiangdong has always lost more than it won, so we shouldn't have counted on them. Now that the Liang army is so powerful and Chen Bing is in Hanoi, isn't it possible that they will compete with our army to merge the state?"

Everyone whispered.

Compared with two years ago, when they were ready to flatten Hebei and capture Li Yue alive, the generals of Yan State were obviously much more low-key.

No one dares to brag about defeating the Black Cloud Army anymore.

This also means that Liang Guo is gradually in a psychologically superior position, and Yan Jun can't help but feel shorter.

"Therefore, the battle of Bingzhou cannot be delayed!" Murong Ke glanced at the generals in the tent, "The rise and fall of the country will all depend on this battle. Send an order, Lutai will not be conquered within three days, and I swear not to return!"

"Follow the order!" The generals looked solemn.

Compared with the casual siege of the past few days, this time it was going to be serious.

Murong Ke's words are the soul of Yan Jun. When he makes up his mind, it is equivalent to Yan Jun's decision.

If the 10,000+ army failed to capture Bingzhou, it would also be a heavy blow to the confidence of the Yan army. Murong Ke would never allow this to happen.

Yu County.

Murong Chui also climbed up and looked to the west. To the west, under the vast mountains, a city could be vaguely seen rising.

A goshawk swooped down from the distant mountains, passed over the winding river, passed through the wilderness, flew over the Yan army, then circled several times and disappeared into the distant sky.

"Such a magnificent river and mountain should be a place for heroes to ride? I should fight for it!" Thinking of Murong Huang's ardent expectations in the early years, Murong Chui was extremely ambitious.

In fact, Murong Huang had always wanted to make him his heir, but in the end he chose Murong Jun considering the order of elders and children.

With the defeat of Shuzhou, the good situation of the Yan State was in vain. Murong Jun's tribe suffered heavy losses and his reputation plummeted. It was difficult to control the situation in the country. If it were not for Murong Ke's strong support, the Yan State would have been in chaos.

But Murong Ke not only supported Murong Jun, but also tried his best to train Murong Chui in order to prepare for unexpected events in the future.

When I was feeling relaxed and happy, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves flying in the wilderness.

More than a dozen riders were galloping towards them.

They wore no armor or swords, and were dressed in short brown clothes, with long pheasant feathers stuck in their ears. "Is it the Duan family?" Youyan will recognize the origins of these people.

The Duan family was also from Xianbei and had a deep entanglement with the Murong family.

As soon as Murong Chui saw these people, he raised his head and laughed, "It's done, send the order, the whole army is mobilized!"

"Take your orders!" The generals behind him became excited...

The two mountains of Yique Pass confront each other, and the Yishui River flows like a natural gate, so it is called Yique Pass.

Zhu Xu was a member of a noble family, so Wei Shan's defeat at his hands was not too unjust.

Three thousand Jin troops defended the pass, and Weishan's 8000 troops were indeed difficult to conquer.

This small defeat cannot be entirely blamed on him. Huan Wen himself left, but he still left an ambush. Yique could not be captured, and there was no point in regaining Luoyang. The Jin army could attack at any time.

"What are the casualties of our army?" Li Yue said calmly.

The Heiyun Army has clear rewards and punishments. If Weishan fails to attack the city, it can be dealt with according to military law.

Zhang Shengye said: "More than [-] people were killed and over [-] were injured. General Wei's injuries are not serious and he is being treated."

"Send the order, all the troops will be mobilized to attack Yique!" Li Yue also wanted to meet his old friends.

At that time, Zhu Xu went north and cooperated with the Heiyun Army, and there was a honeymoon period.

In fact, Zhu Xu's bravery is not inferior to that of Weishan. He is one of the best generals in Huan Wen's army.

As soon as the order was issued, news from the north came, and plans could never keep up with the changes.

Murong Chui captured Jinyang City!

"Jinyang is Zhang Ping's home base, why was it captured so easily?" Li Yue frowned.

Maniac must be woe.

Zhang Ping made wild promises to capture Murong Ke and Murong Chui alive, but he didn't expect that his house would be ransacked so quickly.

The scout cupped his hands and said: "Duan Gong rebelled, united the Jinyang barbarians inside and outside, and worked with Murong Chui to attack Jinyang!"

It turned out to be Duan Gong, and Li Yue had almost forgotten this person.

In the first battle at Fangtou, Duan Kun was defeated and defected to Zhang Ping, while Duan Zhu defected to himself.

Zhang Ping was very kind to Duan Gong, letting him wander around Loufan and giving him a place to stay. Two years later, Duan Gong had recovered some of his strength. Instead of being grateful, he gave Zhang Ping a slap in the face at such a critical moment. Punch hard.

As expected these days, there are farmers and snakes everywhere.

Li Yue also secretly warned in his heart that those who are not of my race must have different minds.

Cui Hongdao: "Murong Huang's wife is from the Duan family, and she is the father of Murong Jun. Duan Gong and Murong Jun are cousins. Now that we are in urgent need of annexing the state, we should immediately send troops to the north. Later, annexing the state will be gained by the Yan people."

Good things don't come in pairs, and bad things don't come singly.

Now that Murong Ke has taken action, he will definitely be in trouble.

After Jinyang was captured, Zhang Ping's army was shocked. Murong Ke launched a fierce attack and Lutai was also captured. Fortunately, Zhang Hao led [-] elite troops to rescue Zhang Ping from tens of thousands of Yan troops. Fight and retreat, go south to join the party.

Murong Ke ordered Mu Yugen to pursue him and led his army to sweep through Xinxing, Yanmen, Xihe, Taiyuan and other counties...

"It's too late to rush over now. Taiyuan has fallen into the hands of Murong Ke. We rush over. The Yan army is waiting for work, and the gain is not worth the loss. Send someone to Shangdang, contact Zhang Ping, and ask him to stick to Shangdang, and order Lu Guang to lead [-] steps Riding to the east of Hedong, Gao Yun and Yao Xiang will lead the main force to Bingzhou!"

Zhang Ping's defeat was something Li Yue had expected.

It was an extremely wise choice for this man to return to Shangdang, retaining half of Bingzhou's vitality.

This strategic high ground was not given to the Murong family.
