Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 422: Tired Country
The Qin army still has quite strong combat power.

At least against the Tiefu Xiongnu, it was like destroying the dead and destroying the dead. Liu Tuotou's miscellaneous Hu army was no match at all. The people killed by Lu Polou fell on their backs and their tribes were scattered.

The Qin army took the opportunity to loot Henan and captured more than 13 young people and [-] livestock.

Liu Yan asked the Yan State for help.

Murong Chui, who was guarding Taiyuan, sent his general Ping Xi to help with seven thousand fine cavalry.

Li Yue got the news and ordered Zhang Hao to ride out of Baibo Valley with [-] paces to intimidate Bingzhou.

Although it was a feint attack, Zhang Hao's reputation as an enemy of thousands of people was not false. He was a member of the Shangdang Party. He had fought in Bingzhou for many years and was familiar with the terrain and people.

Five thousand troops entered Pingyang and moved to Xiangling. Many local people responded and informed them.

The Yan army gathered 3 troops to besiege him. Not only did they not stop him, they were also severely wounded by him. They captured and killed more than 500 people, beheaded five Yan generals and held three flags. However, the Heiyun army suffered less than [-] casualties...

After returning to Baibo Valley to rest for two days, they probably realized that the Yan army's combat power was no more than this, so they gathered [-] Hedong town troops and raided Pingyang.

The Yan army was frightened by him and was horrified when they saw him return.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Zhang Hao was just pretending to lead the army, but he climbed the city with his sword and shield in person, and was hit by several arrows without retreating. The morale of Liang Jun was greatly boosted, and he captured Pingyang in one go, opening the first opportunity to attack Bingzhou. The door.

Pingyang has always been the focus of Murong Chui's management. After it was captured, it caused a turmoil in the surrounding area.

Zhang Hao once again led [-] elite troops of the Black Clouds to the north, while Yangxian, Huoxian, Yong'an and other cities fell into disgrace, forcing Murong Chui to rush southward with [-] elite troops of the Yan army.

Zhang Hao then returned to Pingyang and moved [-] families from Yang County, Huo County, Yong'an and other places.

"Zhang Hao is my magic weapon in Daliang!" Li Yue was overjoyed when he received the good news.

This is the value of being an enemy of ten thousand people.

A hundred years ago, Guan Yu captured the head of Yan Liang, the general of Yuan's army, in the midst of tens of thousands of troops. Wen Yang led dozens of his own troops to march in and out of the [-] Sima army. The frightened Sima division fell ill and died.

Now it seems that it is not a rumor.

In the past, it took a lot of effort to capture every city and place in the Yan Kingdom, but now it is so easy.

"The combat power of Yan State seems to have declined a lot." Chang Wei discovered the problem even though he was not familiar with military affairs.

Li Yue said: "Heiyun Army fought for half a year and rested for half a year to preserve morale and recuperate the national strength. However, Yan State has not stopped for a moment since it moved its capital to Jicheng. It either fought with us or attacked Chile, Zhang Ping, and Tuoba Shiyi." Jian, the local civil strife has not stopped, and the soldiers have long been exhausted! It is okay to deal with second-rate stuff like Tuoba Shi Yijian, but when encountering a strong army, the problem will be exposed. If Gu's prediction is correct, Pingxi must not be Lu Polou opponent."

The State of Yan moved its capital from Jicheng to Longcheng, then from Longcheng to Jicheng, from Pingzhou to Liaoxi, and from Liaoxi to Youzhou.

All on the military front.

Fight with Hou Zhao, fight with Ran Wei, fight with Liang...

The key point is that Yan's expansion momentum was strongly blocked by Liang. Its morale was depressed and its vigor was no longer what it once was.

Li Yue personally feels that if a force does not unify the world within 20 years, it will basically be difficult to succeed.

No one can work hard every day for 20 years. Even if he has the mental energy, his body cannot keep up.

The same is true for a country. The Yan State has expanded rapidly in recent years, and the problems left over from previous generations will become more and more serious.

"The only thing left for the collapse of the Yan Kingdom is a war." Chang Wei's eyes had a glimmer of light.

"So next year's war will be the beginning of Murong's decline from prosperity." Li Yue said solemnly. "My subordinates suggest that we should do everything possible to support the thieves of the Yan State, instigate powerful rebellions, and drain the energy of the Yan State. At the same time, we should send large armies to the borders to contain the Yan State's troops and create opportunities for the thieves."

Murong Jun's conduct of the school review, the secrets and leaks, and the selection of two out of four, not only aroused the resentment of the powerful, but also forced many people in Youzhou to rebel.

The memory trauma left by Jie Zhao and Shi Hu has not completely subsided. Murong Jun's actions made the people of Youzhou recall the tragic experience of Shi Hu's era.

Of course, his intentions are good.

The proofreading reveals hidden defects and the fine points cover up the hidden leaks, and it is aimed at local powerful people. If it can be implemented, the effect will be no worse than Wang Meng's innovation.

But his attack was too broad. He not only targeted the powerful, but also made two out of four, forcing the common people to have no way out.

It would be okay if the Murong clan unified the Northern Kingdom, but so far, the Yan Kingdom is still only a slightly stronger separatist force.

Chang Wei's plan to exhaust the country is simply a black tiger that takes out the heart.

Despite his gentle appearance, he didn't expect his plan to be so vicious. Li Yue laughed, "Sir, he looks like Chen Ping in the early Han Dynasty!"

Li Yue originally wanted to compare him to Jia Xu, but Jia Xu's reputation in this era was not good.

Chen Ping is more appropriate.

"Your Highness is so complimentary." Chang Wei smiled gently.

Immediately, Li Yue ordered the selection of the key personnel of the School Affairs Office, Honglu Division, Scout Battalion, and Shangwu Hall who stayed in Yecheng.

Security is strictly enforced inside and outside Tongque Terrace, and no idlers are allowed to approach.

Even the officials promoted by Li Yuexin were excluded.

They were accompanied by [-] retired soldiers due to disability. They were the most loyal people in the entire Liang Kingdom. They had experienced various wars and had extremely high military literacy and loyalty. Even though they were disabled, they still wanted to serve Liang. The country contributes.

Li Yue left them in Yecheng. Some of them served as instructors in Shangwu Hall, and some served as city gate soldiers.

"The decisive battle with the Yan Kingdom has begun from today!" Li Yue looked around at everyone.

The young man's face was full of excitement and his fists were clenched, while the older man looked at Li Yue silently.

"Raising an army for a thousand days is spent in one moment. I want to send you deep into the territory of Yan and use all means to consume the Yan army and exhaust the Yan country. The rebels need food and weapons, weapons and weapons, train them, command them, instigate rebellion and recruit more soldiers." With so many people, the Yan Kingdom will continue to be in chaos and wasted until next year, Guqin will lead an army to sweep across You and Ping." Li Yue didn't say any nonsense.

"I would like to die for His Highness!"

More than two thousand people, regardless of their age, looked determined.

"Many of you may die silently, but Daliang will not forget your efforts, and China will not forget you either!" Li Yue's eyes swept over everyone one by one.

The names and place of birth of all those who arrived today have been recorded. One day, Liang will rule the world, and Li Yue will let the world admire their names.

"Haha, why did Your Highness say this? We may not die before. We follow His Highness up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire. What kind of battles have we not seen? Isn't it just the rebellion of the Murong family? Don't worry, Your Highness, we will teach the Murong family. My scalp is numb!" Several old soldiers laughed, completely ignoring Murong.

"You are worthy of being an old brother from Black Cloud Mountain!" Li Yue recognized several of them as elite men under Bo Wu's command back then.

Time flies so fast, almost two years have passed since Bo Wu passed away.

I can't help but sigh in my heart.
