Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 464 The Navy
Li Yue originally had high hopes for Mu Yugen and Murong Ping. Even if he couldn't defeat Murong Ke, it would take two or three months.

But I didn't expect that one was a reckless man and the other was a coward. They were put down within a month and a half.

The ancient love is well-deserved.

The title of King Yan was put into his mouth, but Murong Ke did not swallow it and gave it back to Murong Wei. This kind of courage is rare in ancient and modern times.

The rapid quelling of the civil strife in Yan was inseparable from Murong Ke's charisma.

However, he did not suffer a loss. He regained the entire territory of Youzhou and drove the Murong family back to Liaodong. He did not have the strength to attack Liaodong in the short term.

The attack on Liaodong was an expedition. The right time, place and people were on Murong Ke's side for the time being.

Back then, Shi Hu forcibly went out to fight, and in the battle of Jicheng, 45 "army" were destroyed, and the power of Jie Zhao was also trampled by the Murong family.

Wang Meng's army walked through the Pinglu Canal that Wei Wu had dug, leading from Qingshui to Baigou, into Zhangshui, and directly to Yezhong. The [-]-strong army was transported by Magu Shuijun and returned one after another within ten days.

Li Yue led the civil and military officials and soldiers out of the city to greet him.

"I hope your highness will forgive me for failing to invade Liaodong and devour the Yan Kingdom." Wang Meng apologized as soon as they met.

"What's Jinglue's crime? This time he regained Jicheng, occupied Youzhou, and expanded the frontier for [-] miles. A famous general in ancient times is nothing more than that! The Murong family has been a country for nearly a hundred years, and it can't be conquered in two or three years!" Li Seek truth from facts.

How many years has it been since Liang Guo was founded?
The Yan Kingdom has been managed by four generations, and the people of Liaodong have surrendered. It cannot be pacified in a short period of time.

Besides, the Liang State has not yet been able to swallow up the strength of the Yan State. Taking over the entire Youzhou has reached its limit.

"Haha, what His Highness said is absolutely true. The Murong family retreated to Liaodong, and they will be the guardian dogs. One day they will unify the Northern Kingdom, and Liaodong can be destroyed with a backhand!" Wang Meng's aura grew stronger and stronger.

In the entire Liang Kingdom, only Li Yue could beat him.

"General Ma Gu pays homage to His Highness!" A burly man said with cupped hands.

Li Yue is a tall man, about forty years old, with a face that is unique to Hebei heroes, but with a bit more vicissitudes of life.

From Jie Zhao to Ran Wei, the heroes surrendered and surrendered, but few were left. Ma Gu led 3000 people to wander on the sea, guarding the island alone for Ran Wei, which shows the loyalty of this man.

Those who fulfill their duties faithfully in this world will never lack in ability.

"General Ma is indeed a strong man from China!" Li Yue supported him, "I have gained another great general today!"

"Your Highness is ridiculous!" Ma Gu looked calm and calm, neither sad nor happy.

People who have never seen strong winds and waves will never behave like this.

His arrival made up for a major shortcoming of Liang Jun. Although Guandong is in the north, the naval army has great potential.

Cao Wei pursued the national policy of "using canals and accumulating valleys as a way to prepare for war."

Before the Northern Expedition to Yuan and Wuhuan, they spent several years digging canals to connect the two sides of the river. Grains and soldiers from the Central Plains could be quickly transported to Hebei, which created the Jian'an style in Yecheng.

Not only did Wei Wu wipe out the Yuan family and defeat Wuhuan, but also allowed Sima Yi to complete the myth of destroying Gongsun Yuan in a hundred days.

Later, in order to suppress Jiangdong, water networks such as Guangcao Canal, Jiahou Canal, Huaiyang Canal, and Baichi Canal were dug southward to connect several major water systems such as Sui, Ying, Huai, and Si. The army left Luoyang and followed the Ying River. Down, directly to the Huaihe River.

Therefore, the three rebellions in Huainan were quickly put down.

The Grand Canal of later generations was actually built on the foundation of Cao Wei. The foundation of Guandong comes from these canal water networks.

The greater significance of the navy is to quickly transport them to the front line.

To prepare for Huan Wen's Northern Expedition in the future, we cannot ignore the development of the navy.

Li Yue held Wang Meng with his left hand, and Ma Gu with his right hand, boarded the chariot and entered the city together.

Yecheng was already filled with people. The victory after victory had faded the sorrow and hunger on their faces, and replaced them with pride and self-confidence.

"Long live! Long live!" Wherever the chariot went, there were cheers.

"I haven't seen such a grand scene in many years. Your Highness's martial arts skills are far superior to those of the Wei and Jin Dynasties!" Ma Gu couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it just the Wei and Jin Dynasties? I want to recreate the prosperity of Wenjing!"

In Li Yue's eyes, the only prosperous times were Wenjing and Hanxuan, as well as Zhenguan and Kaiyuan in history.

The Han and Tang Dynasties, the pinnacle of China, if the prosperous times of the Han and Tang Dynasties could be reproduced, Li Yue's life would be considered worthwhile.

Cao Wei was still reluctant, but the Western Jin Dynasty of the Sima family still had to forget it.

The powerful nobles were singing and dancing, and the people were in dire straits. It is said that at the beginning of a dynasty, there should always be some vitality. The Sima family was doing well. Within a few years of the founding of the country, Yongliang and Qingxu uprisings occurred one after another.

Without the Eight Kings' Rebellion, how could there be the Five Husbands' Rebellion?
"Your Highness has such great ambitions, I should follow him to achieve greatness!" Wang Meng's eyes flashed with brilliance.

"I wish I could have met His Highness earlier." Ma Gu was respectful and a little reserved.

Li Yue laughed, "It's not too late!"

In this year, Li Yue was only [-] years old, just as Liang Guo was based on the land of Guandong!

Next came the celebration banquet, where everyone above the elders was seated.

Although there are no delicacies, there are large pieces of cooked meat, biscuits and wine.

Li Yue promoted 160 three people to the rank of Black Cloud General on the spot. He personally gave them fine armor, precious swords, and iron plates, and encouraged them to continue to serve the country loyally.

And all this fell into the eyes of the navy generals.

In the past, Li Yue would have gone down with the wine jar to drink with the soldiers, but this is different from the past.

It is of great significance that the emperor is said to be a loner and a few people.

You need to maintain your majesty at all times, not get too close to your subordinates, and you need to maintain a sense of mystery. If everything is discovered by others, defeat is not far away.

This is human nature.

"Your Highness, Murong Chui has sent me a petition to declare my vassalship!" The banquet was in full swing, and Liu Ying came over with a look of joy on his face.

Murong Chui was much wiser than Tuoba Shi Yijian.

Now that Murong Ke has retreated to Liaodong and is unable to help Bingzhou, Liang Guo's next target must be Murong Chui.

However, being a minister does not mean surrender. At that time, Zhang Ping was a minister to Yan, Jin, Liang, and Qin.

"What do you think Jing Lue means?" Li Yue asked.

"Murong Chui, a relative of Yan, was a great hero in the Eastern Xia Dynasty. He was generous and benevolent, and was kind to the people. There was a sense of admiration between Yan and Zhao. Judging from his talents, he was powerful and wise, and he was an outstanding person. Jiaolong Ferocious beasts cannot be tamed, so it is better to get rid of them." Wang Meng said with a hint of drunkenness.

The person who knew Murong Chui best was none other than him.

However, Li Yue also heard another meaning. Murong Chui was extremely talented. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I want to achieve unparalleled achievements, but they are weak and surrender to me. If they don't accept it, what will they say to me?" You have greatly lost the hope of the people of the world. Although they are dragons and ferocious beasts, you and I, our kings and ministers, have long tassels in our hands, so why should we be afraid?"

Murong Chui just proclaimed himself a vassal, but had not fully surrendered.

But now Liang Guo has no energy to attack Bingzhou for a moment, so it is better to calm down. If he does not accept his surrender, he will definitely fall to Fu Jian and increase the strength of Guanzhong.

Fu Jian dares to accept anyone...

As long as he was still there and Wang Meng was still there, could Murong Chui be able to climb out of Wuzhi Mountain?

"Your Highness... what you said is absolutely true. If you have a long tassel in your hand, you can use it as a claw." Wang Meng burped with wine, leaned his head on the soft couch, and actually fell asleep.
