Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Horizontal Jump
Li Yue did not take the [-] troops of Huan Chong, Xie Shang, and Yuan Zhen in his eyes, as they were just a show of force.

However, Huan Wen personally led [-] troops to enter Wancheng, which posed a great threat. With Xuchang to the east and Luoyang to the north, the army was empty.

After capturing Luoyang and crossing the Yellow River, we can attack Yecheng from Hanoi.

After Fu Jian returned to the army, he immediately ordered Deng Qiang to lead an army of [-] to enter Puban, and Fu Fei to lead [-] cavalry to station at Feng Yi, with the intention of capturing Taiyuan.

In return, Fu Jian was looking down at Murong.

What left Li Yue speechless the most was that his father-in-law, Tuoba Shiyijian, was rebellious and came to interfere, "Since the King of Liang has captured the Xiang Kingdom, he surrendered as soon as he saw the opportunity. The Yan Kingdom was safe in Youzhou, and the Liang King completely occupied Jizhou. From then on, Wouldn't it be nice for the two families to be in harmony and recuperate? Daijun is my family's homeland. Now that we have recovered it, we should return it together..."

Li Yue has always been well behaved in recent years, but when he saw Tuoba Shi Yijian's letter, he became furious on the spot.

Daijun was taken from the Yan army. What happened to Tuoba's family?According to him, Daijun, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan are all the hometowns of the Han family. Should they all be returned?
Besides, who is Tuoba Shi Yijian? Why should he mediate the war between the two families?
How could he be Murong Jun's uncle and his father-in-law?
Li Yue is angry and funny.

In fact, all the forces have only one purpose, which is to prevent the Liang Kingdom from defeating the Yan Kingdom, annexing Youzhou, and taking over Hebei.

A powerful Liang State is a huge threat to all forces.

This was the reason why Tuoba Shi Yijian jumped horizontally repeatedly.

And Jiangdong had an agreement with Yan State in the first place, so naturally he would not sit back and watch Yan State's defeat.

"Jiangdong is bluffing. Huan Wen's heart is in Jiangdong. He will never fight with our army at this time. Even if he captures Luoyang and Xuchang, it will be difficult to defend. Hefei is even more worry-free. Your Highness does not need to worry." Liu Ying is becoming more and more like joining the army. There are many Zheng Lin and Lu Qingqiang who can only immerse themselves in copying and writing.

The children of Liu Kun and Liu Qun came from a far-reaching family.

"Nevertheless, we must be on guard. Yuzhou is my heart. It took several years of management to reach what it is today. I sent an order for Handan Gaoyun to lead [-] cavalry south to guard against Huan Wen. Since Fu Jian is interested in Taiyuan, he can send a letter to let him know. Hunt Taiyuan." Li Yue ordered repeatedly.

"Your Highness, this is a brilliant plan. Use retreat to advance, and let Fu Jian and Murong Chui compete with each other!" Liu Ying reacted quickly.

Murong Chui's elite men were still intact and quite capable of fighting. Fu Jian could not destroy them just by saying so.

This move was also a blow to Fu Jian.

"Don't Tuoba Shi Yijian want Daijun? Yes, let him send troops to attack Jicheng together and destroy the Yan Kingdom in the future. Let alone Daijun, Mobei and Liaodong will be granted to him alone!"

Li Yue slapped a piece of cake on Tuoba Shi Yijian's face.

Mobei is not so easy to get, and the Rouran people are getting stronger and stronger.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether the Liang Dynasty Alliance can reach that day.

As soon as Yan State showed its decline, he came to play a balancing strategy.

If he counterattacks Youzhou in the future, won't he stab you in the back?
"We can't delay any longer, kill Murong Ke immediately!" Li Yue said in a deep voice.

As long as Fu Jian and Huan Wen are not stupid, they will know that they want to hold back Liang and not let Liang swallow up Yan.

However, Li Yue did not move, but Murong Ke did, and the army retreated towards Zhongshan.

Murong Chui did not dare to fight in Shangdang, and it was meaningless for Murong Ke to stay here.

This retreat is equivalent to giving up Changshan.

Li Yue sent three thousand light cavalry to pursue him, but he was ambushed by Murong Ke. More than three hundred troops were killed and they retreated.

However, many people in the Yan army froze to death and their bodies were abandoned on the road.

Even the Yan army who was born in Liaodong couldn't stand the bitter cold, let alone the Heiyun army. If they were ambushed by Murong Ke on the road, the whole army might be annihilated.

However, the supply of food and grass in the rear was interrupted at the beginning of the snow. Without food and grass, the army pursued him, which might be the end of Ran Min.

With such heavy snow, it was impossible for Wang Meng to send troops from Jingxing to besiege Murong Ke.

Li Yue simply stayed in Xiangguo.A monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple. Murong Ke's retreat means that the Yan army is on the full defensive. With the system of the Yan State, if they do not expand, they will have to wait quietly for death.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, crushing the few remaining houses in Xiangguo. The soldiers braved the cold to clear the snow.

The dougong owl tail on the tower was covered with ice, and even the ground was frozen.

More than a hundred horses and livestock in the city freeze to death every day, and countless others suffer from frostbite.

Many soldiers also suffered from frostbite on their faces and hands. Some even fell asleep at night and turned into cold corpses in the morning.

This is not heavy snow, it is already a snow and ice disaster.

Compared with chasing Murong Ke, Li Yue was more worried about the country. Murong Ke escaped this time but could not escape the next time. But if a large number of people in the country died of frostbite, the accumulation over the past few years would be in vain.

A country can prosper despite many difficulties, but the ancients are sincere and will not be deceived by me.

Fortunately, there are a lot of coal cakes and dry firewood in Xiangguo City, so the charcoal fire is not that difficult.

All the livestock that had died of frostbite were slaughtered and supplied to the soldiers.

With oil and water, the body is much warmer.

If you endure it, the wind and snow will subside, the world will become warmer, and winter will pass and spring will come.

After the supply of grain, grass and baggage was restored in the rear, Wang Meng fought out from Jingxing and attacked Changshan. Fu Yan, who was defending Changshan, left without fighting and rushed to Zhongshan to join forces with Murong Ke.

Wei Shan was preparing to leave Dai County to attack Guangning County, but Tuoba Shi Yijian intervened and stationed troops in Danhan Mountain, and could move south to Dai County at any time.

Li Yue sent a letter asking him to attack Guangning and Shanggu counties. As long as they were defeated, the territory and population would belong to him.

But sending the letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and even the messenger was nowhere to be heard.

The relationship between the father-in-law and his son-in-law is not as good as paper, and he can turn it over at any time, but it's okay. If he is in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame yourself for being in the fifteenth grade in the future.

"Tuoba Shi Yijian is capricious, and he must have the intention to go south to the Central Plains. Your Highness must be on guard." Liu Ying reminded.

When Ran Min founded the country and massacred the Shi family, Tuoba Shi Yijian gathered all the tribes on the grassland and wanted to "personally lead the six armies to conquer the four seas." Later, he saw that Ran Min was too fierce, and the blood of the people he killed was flowing like the sea. Then he gave up the idea of ​​going south.

"Five years ago, the Northern Kingdom was in chaos. He didn't even have a chance. Now that the world has been decided, what else can he do? After Gu has defeated the Yan Kingdom, the next step is to ask him to return to Yecheng to retire!"

It's not that Li Yue looks down on his father-in-law. It's good to be ambitious, but it's wrong to have no vision.

The greatest achievement in history is giving birth to a great grandson...

Li Yue had no time to pay attention to him for the time being, so he ordered Weishan to guard Daijun to guard against Murong Chui's counterattack and Tuoba Shi Yijian's assassination. He raised [-] troops and marched north to Zhongshan to continue the flanking attack on Murong Ke with Wang Meng.

Murong Jun gathered all his troops from Jizhou and rushed to Zhongshan.

A snowstorm did not extinguish the flames of war, but made the war more intense.

In Zhongshan, the total number of people on both sides is nearly 40.

Coincidentally, the place where Li Yue stationed his troops was at Liantai where Ran Min was captured alive. Since it was a platform, the terrain was high and flat, with Zishui in the southeast and a wooden ditch in the north. There was no need to worry about the enemy blocking the water source.

This place has been a place for military garrison since ancient times.

During the Warring States Period, during the great war between the State of Zhao and the State of Zhongshan, the famous general Lian Po stationed his troops here, hence the name "Lian Tai".

Three miles northeast, there is a large tomb, which was built by the local people in memory of Lian Po.

Wang Meng stationed troops to march south to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yue went west and south to intimidate Zhongshan. If Tuoba Shiyijian hadn't held Weishan back, the Yan army would have been surrounded by three sides.
