Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 462 Attacking the Thistle
Li Yue stared at the west with one eye and the east with the other.

As long as Murong Ke is alive and unless the knife is placed on his neck, Murong Chui will not easily surrender to any party.

In this era, there were no more than three people who could put a knife on Murong Chui's neck.

With Fu Jian's current strength, it shouldn't be so easy for Murong Chui to surrender.

In fact, Murong Chui did not fall to Fu Jian. He remained stationary in Taiyuan, seemingly waiting for news from Liaodong.

"Your Highness, the King Commander went north to Jicheng. Murong Ke and Murong De led their soldiers and people back to Liaodong. Huangfu Zhen would rather die than surrender and led [-] Yan troops to resist tenaciously." Zhang Shengye came to report.

Murong Ke really gave up Jicheng, leaving Huangfu behind.

One look at his surname and he knows his origin. He was one of the three Han officials of the Yan Kingdom. He once followed Murong Ke with Xian Yuliang to defeat Ma Qiu. Later, he and Murong Ke's [-] troops attacked Ran Wei and captured Ran Min alive.

"Jicheng can't stop it for a few days." Li Yue said calmly.

Huangfu's five thousand remnant troops just wanted to defend Jicheng, which was tantamount to wishful thinking.

Murong Ke kept him just to delay time.

But in the afternoon, another piece of news came, which made Li Yue frown.

The shit-stirring stick Tuoba Shi Yijian appeared, and [-] Qingqi passed through Sanzangkou of Miyun Mountain and cruised in the north of Jicheng, plundering money and grain, and kidnapping the people. Wherever they passed, villages turned into ruins and fields were trampled into ruins. mud.

It's a bit uninteresting for him to do this.

The five carts of gold and silk treasures that had just been sent over were received as ordered. They turned against each other and refused to acknowledge anyone. They refused to give up at all.

Although Tuoba Shi Yijian should not take the initiative to attack according to common sense, there would always be an impact on the siege if there were people holding swords nearby, and Wang Meng would have to focus on guarding.

Daijun has always been a hurdle that both parties cannot avoid.

Just like when the Shu Han Dynasty and Soochow Wu competed for Jingzhou, the Tuoba family ran Daijun for nearly 120 years, starting from Tuoba Li's humble beginnings.

Tuoba Shi Yijian lost Daijun and was ashamed to meet the eighteenth generation of Tuoba family's ancestors.

"I don't know how to praise, but the two families are still married!" Li Yue laughed angrily at Tuoba Shiyi.

"Tuoba Shi Yijian is also married to the Murong family, and he also married two people. They are not of my race, and their hearts must be different. Tuoba and Murong are both from Xianbei, and their lips are dead and their teeth are cold..." Zhang Shengye reminded.

"You've made a lot of progress, kid." Li Yue cursed with a smile.

Tuoba Shi Yijian was probably invited by Murong Ke, and the purpose was obvious: to hold off Wang Meng and give him time to put down the rebellion.

"When serving Your Highness, I must learn a thing or two." Zhang Shengye hit the snake and followed the stick with a flattering look on his face.

When a person reaches a high position, people around him will speak more and more pleasantly.

Li Yue was secretly vigilant in his heart. There were many monarchs in history who were deceived by those around them, so his face became serious, "Put more thought into practical matters."

"Wei!" Zhang Shengye has been leading the scout camp alone for a long time. Although he is loyal, it is not a good thing.

If you stay in one position for a long time, you will form an interest group that advances and retreats together.

"I'm going to promote you to the position of governor of Guangning. What do you think?" Li Yue had already had this intention. Since he was not capable enough, he wanted to go outside to practice.

Guangning is located in the south of Yinshan Mountain. It is the first line of defense against the prairie cavalry going south. If managed properly, it can cut off Tuoba Shi Yijian's claws extending towards western Liaoning.

One of the main reasons why Tuoba Shi Yijian was able to invade Youzhou unimpeded this time was that Liang Guo's Youzhou defense line had not been built.

Zhang Shengye was shaken all over and lowered his head, "I obey your order!"

Li Yue didn't have the time to care what he thought and nodded, "Go ahead, don't damage the reputation of Black Cloud Mountain."

Zhang Shengye then raised his head, bowed his hands, and retreated.The person Tuoba Shi Yijian provoked was Wang Meng. Wang Meng was always bold in doing things, so he would not spoil him. He postponed the attack on Jicheng and directly attacked Jicheng with his sword.

Tuoba Shi Yijian has tasted the power of Yan Jun, but has not tasted Liang Jun's knife.

Mi Jin and Qin Biao each led a thousand elite cavalry to attack from left and right, Xu Cheng led ten thousand infantry and went straight to Sanzangkou. Tuoba Shi Yijian was so frightened that he was almost stopped in Youzhou, although he finally rushed out. But [-] light cavalry, [-] killed in formation, more than [-] prisoners, more than [-] war horses, and [-] various livestock were captured. If Xu Cheng had not led the infantry, Tuoba Shi Yijian would probably have been left behind in You. state……

Later, Wang Meng sent his army to attack Jicheng.

Huangfu Zhen fought hard at the age of 60. After resisting for three days, he still did not avoid the fate of destroying the city.

Huangfu Zhen led the remaining troops to fight in the streets of the city, and eventually died in the battle formation.

All the Yan troops in the city were killed by Xu Cheng and Qin Biao, leaving no one alive...

Although brutal, it shocked other cities.

Wang Meng rested for two days, and then the army marched eastward. The soldiers pointed at the wind and fell, and Beiping County was included in the territory of Liang State.

Liang Jun marched forward with great success, reaching Tuhe, an important town on the Jieshi Road.

This place is also the boundary between Youliao and Youliao. The Yan army has always stationed heavy troops here. When Murong Chui was the general of Pingdi, he used to resist tens of thousands of elites in the hands of Deng Huan here.

Now Murong Chui is staying in Taiyuan, but Murong Ke has arranged for Murong Qian and Xian Yuliang to lead an army of [-] to guard the place.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and by the sea on one side, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Qin Biao took the lead in launching a fierce attack and fought with the heroic general Xian Yuliang, but he was still unable to break through Tuhe City.

Wang Meng then stood still, built research equipment, and watched the situation in Liaodong develop.

But Tuoba Shi Yijian was slapped on the head, and he was much more honest. He actually sent someone to plead guilty, saying that his original intention was to cooperate with Liang Jun to attack Yan State. Unexpectedly, it caused such a big misunderstanding, and asked Li Yue not to Blame…

He lowered his head so uncharacteristically, but he felt like something was going to happen again.

But two days later, news came back from the grassland that Li Yue suddenly realized that the Rouran people from Mobei had gone south.

Tuoba Shiyijian inherited the illustrious martial arts skills left by his father Tuoba Yulu and became the co-owner of the grassland. However, in the past few years, he was pinned to the ground and rubbed, and even his old nest, Daijun, was lost. His strength and prestige were greatly reduced. Gradually, Monan could no longer be controlled.

So the Rouran people took advantage of the situation and went south, occupying large areas of grassland.

Daijun is Tuoba Shi Yijian's hometown, but Monan is his lifeblood.

The Rouran people are the natural enemies of the Tuoba family. Their founder, Mu Gulu, was once a slave of Tuoba Liwei. Because he was brave and good at fighting, he was exempted from being a cavalryman. Later, because he was about to be executed, he led more than a hundred people to die and hid in Guangmo River. In the valley, his son Che Luhui will continue to grow stronger and stronger, and he will dominate the desert north.

"Uh... The King on behalf of the King requested the King of Liang... to send 20 stones of grain and grass and [-] armors. The King on behalf of the King is very grateful. From now on, the two families will form an alliance forever..." The messenger's face turned red and he was embarrassed to say it.

While robbing with a knife, he shamelessly asked for food, grass and armor.

"I do have a suggestion, I can report it back to the king." Li Yue smiled evilly, Tuoba Shi Yijian also had this day...

"Prince Liang, please speak."

"Since the two families are related by marriage and Gu has a mansion in Yecheng, if the king loses to the Rouran people, he might as well come to Yecheng to retire and the two families can become one family." Li Yue felt happy in his heart.

Tuoba Shi Yijian, the bastard, will continue to make trouble after taking this breath.

"How...how to make it?"

"Why can't you do it? If the king doesn't want to, he will bring hundreds of thousands of troops to welcome him!" Li Yue made no secret of his ambition.

Tuoba Shiyijian's occupation of the horse-producing land in the Hetao is really a waste.
