Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 241 Please enter the urn

The Xianbei population moved to the Hetao area by Huan Xi totaled 50,000 to 60,000 tents, including 40,000 tents from the Qifu tribe, several thousand tents from the Poduolan tribe, and 10,000 tents from Baibao Xianbei and his family members.

Therefore, inspecting Gao Pingchuan is also the top priority of Huan Xi's trip.

Naturally, the officials sent by the Yinchuan Shan Yutai to be stationed in Gaopingchuan were by no means ordinary people.

Cheng Gong was from the Cheng family in Anding, and was the elder brother of Cheng Yan, the imperial physician next to Huan Xi. He was famous for his clean and tough character and strong bones, and was highly regarded by Huan Xi, Wang Meng and others.

Although Cheng Gong saw Cheng Yan traveling with him from a distance, he didn't care to talk about his brotherly love. He quickly came to Huan Xi's horse and bowed:

"We sincerely await the arrival of Duke Liang."

Huan Xi sat on the horse and nodded slightly:

"Cheng Qing is exempt from the courtesy."

After Cheng Gong stood up, Huan Xi looked ahead at the waiting nobles of the begging tribe and said reprovingly:

"My original intention of going out on patrol this time was not to disturb the people. Why did Cheng Qing mobilize the troops to welcome me?"

Huan Xi said this, but Cheng Gong did not dare to take it seriously. He was accompanied by 5,000 guards and 10,000 armored cavalry.

"Gong Liang Mingjian, this is because everyone in the Qifu tribe admires Duke Liang's majesty and virtue, and it comes spontaneously, not because of the instigation of humble ministers."

Huan Xi smiled and said:

It is difficult for a wise woman to make a living without rice. Jizhou currently only has 30,000 cavalry. Yao Xiang recruited refugees in Huainan and Xuzhou, and reorganized the soldiers who had been surrendered by the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In addition, he added the Qiang soldiers who were originally part of the Yao clan, and supported them. There are no less than one hundred thousand people.

Murong Ke was not the roundworm in Yao Xiang's belly, so of course he didn't know what the other party really thought.

"I heard that Yao Xiang sent an envoy to Duan Gong and offered to rescue Qingzhou, but Duan Gong politely declined. However, the Qiang people are still gathering at the border of Qingzhou and Yanzhou with great fanfare.

Murong Chui secretly left Yecheng and came to the Yan army camp.

The nobles from the begging tribe saluted Huan Xi respectfully in their slightly unfamiliar Chinese, and Huan Xi showed his kindness, which made people feel like spring breeze.

"Aqian, Yao Xiang has been making a lot of moves recently, unabashedly showing his intention to rescue Qingzhou. In my humble opinion, I'm afraid he has other plans."

"So, I wrongly blamed Cheng Qing."

Once Yao Xiang sent his troops north, Murong Chui was really not sure of victory.

When Huan Xi entered the Qifu settlement, Murong Ke's army had also moved south to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Murong Ke nodded and said:

With that said, Huan Xi got off his horse, and Cheng Gong introduced the nobles of the Begging Department to him one by one.

A person's name, a tree's shadow, no matter how indifferent Murong Ke and Yang Yao were when they mentioned Yao Xiang.

"Of course, we have to be prepared for the Qiang people to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. The safety of Jizhou is entrusted to you."

"I guess Yao Xiang might take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

Murong Chui was also worried that Yao Xiang would change direction and raid Jizhou after Murong Ke penetrated deep into Qi State.

The two brothers reunited and did not bother to exchange greetings. Murong Chui reminded:

But Yao Xiang in this time and space has indeed never suffered a defeat. In Murong Chui's view, there is no doubt that Yao Xiang is an opponent who must be dealt with carefully.

"Aqian, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Murong Ke raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said:

"You and I are brothers and closest relatives, and there is anything else we can't tell you directly."

Murong Chui then said: "Yao Xiang is greedy, unjust, and ambitious. Duan Gong doesn't dare to believe him.

"After Agan crosses the river, please proceed slowly. If Yao Xiang attacks Jizhou, Agan should quickly return reinforcements and attack the Qiang army in Hebei with me.

"If Yao Xiang rescues Qingzhou, he will be in a stalemate with the enemy. As time goes by, there will be a rift between Yao Xiang and Duan Gong."

Sometimes, faith is worthless, and sometimes, it is worthless.

Murong Ke agreed with Murong Chui's analysis. He followed Murong Chui's words and said:

"Since ancient times, no alliance with different agendas has been able to achieve anything. I couldn't make up my mind before. But after listening to Anu's words today, I concluded that Yao Xiang's intention must be in Jizhou."

Since Duan Gong and Yao Xiang do not trust each other, how could Yao Xiang go deep into the Qi territory and join forces with Duan Gong to resist the Yan army.

After confirming this, Murong Ke and Murong Chui began to plan a big net against Yao Xiang.

Murong Ke was naturally ordered to attack Duan Kong on this trip, but he was a good chopping wood worker. If he could annihilate Yao Xiang's main force in Hebei and seize Yan and Xuzhou, it would be easy. If he could return to attack Qingzhou, Duan Kong would be nothing more than a tomb. Just dead bones.

Emperor Murong Jun of Yan State gave Murong Ke the right to make decisions on the fly, so he did not need to obtain Murong Jun's consent. However, Murong Ke still sent his trusted aide to Jixian to deliver a letter explaining his and Murong Chui's plans.

Yanzhou, Linqiu.

Yao Xiang did not realize that the Murong brothers had secretly pointed the finger at him.

If he could be so keen, he would not be in a panic like a bereaved dog in the original time and space.

"Jingmao (Yao Chang), there is news from Hebei that Murong Ke has built a pontoon bridge on the north bank of the Yellow River. Since Duan Keng has reduced his troops and has not deployed defenses along the river, it is expected that Murong Ke has crossed the river and headed south."

Yao Chang heard this and reported:

"Brother, I have followed your instructions and gathered the old and the weak at the border of Yan and Qing with great fanfare, and secretly hid in Puyang with elite troops. As long as Murong Ke marches straight in, my brother can attack Yecheng northward. "

Yao Xiang nodded and said seriously:

"The rise and fall of the Qiang people depends on this battle. If I can be lucky enough to occupy Jizhou and establish the foundation of the Qiang people, I will be worthy of my father's dying instructions."

Yao Chang recalled the blueprint described by his brother and couldn't help but yearn for it. If he could really seize Jizhou and gain a foothold in Hebei, the world would be so big that he wouldn't have to look at other people's faces.

At the same time, compared with the complacency of Murong Ke and Yao Xiang, the Duan niche occupying Qingzhou was a different story.

Since the Yan army crossed the river, the generals from all over the country surrendered to the city one after another without any resistance. Of course, this was also because Duan Gong had reduced his troops and wanted to lure the enemy deeper.

However, Duan Zhong spoke out and was killed.

In the face of a powerful enemy, Duan Kun was instigated by others to kill his brothers, which made him lose the hearts of the people in Qingzhou.

Even his brothers were treated like this, and there were several frontline guards who were willing to fight to the death for him to resist the Yan army.

After all, the Yan army was massive and had no reinforcements. There was no hope of defending the city, so surrender was a natural thing.

Therefore, Murong Ke and Murong Chui originally planned to go south and then move slowly, but the road was unimpeded. Within a few days, they arrived at Jishui, less than a hundred miles away from Guanggu.

Duan Gong no longer dares to hold on to Guanggu. With the current progress of the Yan army, it won't be long before Murong Ke's troops surround Guanggu, and the flags of various places will change, and he can only sit on the defensive.

At the suggestion of Yuan Fan, the right commander, Duan Gong led 30,000 soldiers north to meet the enemy, hoping to block Murong Ke on the north bank of Jishui River.

Murong Ke was not in a hurry to cross Jishui and fight Duanggong, but was always paying attention to the news in Hebei.
