Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 296 Strategic Deception (Fifth Watch)
Chapter 301 Strategic Deception

If it was in the past, it would not be difficult for Yan State to produce [-] war horses, but now, Yan State is not as good as before.

Although one hundred thousand war horses can be taken out, but after they are taken out, one-third of the Xianbei herdsmen on horseback will need to rely on their legs to travel!As for the millions of cattle and sheep, it is killing Murongbu and forcing Murongbu to die!
Just when Murong Ke was at his wit's end, suddenly the situation turned and the willows were dark and the flowers were bright.

Chang Wei, Ran Min's secret emissary, has arrived in Dragon City of Yan Kingdom!

Weak countries have no diplomacy!Zhuge Liang, a famous prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, first put forward this point of view.In fact, both "Book of Jin" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" written by Sima Guang created a stubborn and self-righteous image for Ran Min.The reason for Ran Wei's real demise is summarized as Ran Min's lack of strategic vision and inability to handle foreign relations, and he was unanimously destroyed by the Yan State in the First World War.

In fact, this is not the case. Before Ran Min claimed the title of emperor, he sent envoys to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Longcheng respectively!Willing to be a minister to Jin and guard the northern border for Jin.Then the Eastern Jin court believed that Ran Min was Shi Hu's adopted son, but overthrew Later Zhao. He was a typical white-eyed wolf and refused to accept his surrender.Not only did they not accept their surrender, but they cut off diplomatic relations!
As for the envoy sent by Yan State, it was to ease the conflict with Yan State.

In 20 A.D., Ran Min, Duke of Later Zhao Wuxing led an army (later Zhao) to defeat 20 Xianbei Yan troops on the banks of the Lingshui River, captured and beheaded more than 28 Yan troops, beheaded more than [-] generals and above, and burned the grain platform. With [-] dendrobium, [-] large and small cities in Beiyan county of Xianbei were seized, and the power shocked the Central Plains.

There is no way, this time Ran Min offended Yan Guo terribly!Ran Min, who was formally enthroned as emperor, wanted to use Chang Wei's eloquence, proficiency in classics and history, and profound knowledge to go to Yan as an envoy.

However, instead of completing Ran Min's task and successfully persuading Murong Jun, Chang Wei made Murong Jun see Wei's weakness from Ran Min's eagerness to seek peace.

So Murong Jun led Qingyan's soldiers to the south to attack Wei State Youzhou!
In this time and space, because Murong Ke used marriage to ease the conflict with the State of Wei, Ran Min also saw the weakness of the State of Yan.Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, this war was triggered immediately!
Murong Ke asked Chang Wei to represent the state of Wei to meet Yan Wang Murong Ye.Then the two started a secret meeting.

The two held a closed-door meeting for a day. After a heated debate, both parties finally returned with satisfaction.As for the content of the meeting, no one knew anyway, and no words were left behind.

Subsequently, Murong Ke promulgated a decree as the regent of Yan State: "In order to resist the upcoming attack of Wei State cavalry, Yan State had to take measures, in order to reduce the casualties of the Yan army warriors, and to hit the morale of the Wei army. The regent We plan to use Han human shields to protect the warriors of Dayan and prevent the attack of the Wei army's iron cavalry! All Han captives, slaves, and free people (traitors) in the territory of Yan State and all tribes, regardless of men, women, old and young, are all escorted to Longcheng !Of course, in order to avoid having enough meat shields, Han Chinese slaves and free citizens must not be abused, and they must be provided with enough food and clothing, so that they can reach Dragon City alive and kicking!"

As soon as this decree came out, no one in the country of Yan objected.

The reason is very simple. In the past, when they attacked the Central Plains, they usually took this kind of measures when they encountered resolute resistance, forcing the defenders to be unable to resist.Although Murong Ke used Qin Xing and his Han soldiers to arouse the morale of the Yan army.

However, in the hearts of the generals of the Yan army, Ran Min brought them too much fear.It's not that easy to remove.

In the battle by the Lingshui River, more than 20 of Yan's 14 troops were beheaded. Especially in the battle of Liantai, Murong Ke's [-] troops were almost wiped out.Take this approach, or you can win in defeat!
After half a month of preparation, more than 17 Han Chinese were sent to Longcheng by the various tribes of the Yan Kingdom. Most of them were young women, and the rest were children. Almost none of them were young men!

At the same time, [-] cavalry from Wei State arrived at Lulongzhai.

Lulongzhai is actually located in Lulong County of later generations, located at the easternmost foot of Xuwu Mountain, between the two mountains.On the left is Meishan, and on the right is Yunshan.Here are outstanding people, this place belongs to Liaoxi County, and the hometown of Boyi and Shuqi, who were famous in history as inferior to the throne, is here.Li Guang, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, once garrisoned here, and the story of an arrow piercing a stone tiger happened here.Speaking of these may be a bit unfamiliar to everyone, but if you mention another name of Lulongzhai, you will definitely be familiar with it.

Xifengkou.

In the history of close combat written by blood and tears, we cannot erase the memory of the Great Wall War of Resistance from our minds. In this struggle of disparity between the enemy and ourselves, the 29th Route Army Broadsword Team used primitive cold weapons to create a miracle in the history of war .The image of a warrior holding a sword has solidified into the image of a hero in the Anti-Japanese War in people's minds; the sword has also become a symbol of the national spirit of unity and fearless struggle.

Of course, Xifengkou has also become a witness to history.

Of course, despite the vicissitudes of history, the rise and fall of thousands of changes, the important strategic position of Lulongzhai has not changed.

Seventy-six thousand elite Wei troops arrived here and began to renovate Lulongzhai. Lulongsai is a city built on the hillside. There are three city walls forming a "Japanese"-shaped defense system.

The outer main city wall is five feet high, three feet wide, and one hundred feet long.At both ends of the main city wall, auxiliary walls were built according to the mountain situation, and each city wall also had a floor.The one standing on Meishan Mountain is called Meilou, and the one built on Yunshan Mountain is called Yunlou.

Starting from the auxiliary walls on both sides, it extends to the farther mountains.

Before the Ming Dynasty, Shanhai Pass was not built in Suizhong, because the strategic position of Lulongzhai replaced the role of Haishan Pass.Every time a different Hu enters the customs, he will be bumped into here.Starting from Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty and continuing for a hundred years, there were dozens of recorded large-scale renovations, and finally a city wall of more than 200 miles.

But since the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty actually existed in name only, and Yihu didn't take the Jin Dynasty seriously at all, so Lulongzhai was severely damaged.

Zhong Shen ordered the troops of the Wei army to urgently build Lulongzhai!

And, order the rear to start transferring grain and grass to Lulongzhai!
As a large amount of grain, grass, and various supplies arrived at Lulongzhai after being transshipped, the tension between the Yan State and the Wei State became more and more severe.

On October 23rd of the fourth year of Yongxing, Tuoba Shiyiqian was the commander-in-chief, Liu Chendong, the right sage king of the Xiongnu, Xianbei of the Baibu, Xianbei of the Dugu tribe, Xianbei of the Tuoba tribe, Liu Kuren, the minister of the north, He Yegan, Gao Chebu, etc. 15 cavalry arrived at the foot of Shuangzi Mountain in Qinglong River, and joined forces with more than [-] troops of the Yan Army led by Murong Ke in victory.

The three warring countries gathered nearly 30 infantry and cavalry. A cavalry war of this scale has only happened once in Chinese history, and it was the Battle of Hedian where Wanyan Aguda defeated the Liao Kingdom!

Wei Guo stayed behind closed doors at Lulongzhai, while the Daiyan coalition forces were at the foot of Shuangzi Mountain 120 miles away.

Although the two sides did not start a fierce conflict immediately, the scouts of both sides started a life-and-death fight.

……

The Yinshan Mountains are located in the central part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.things go.Most of the mountains are composed of ancient metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks are distributed in faulted basins.At the same time, this is also the natural dividing line between Wei State and Dai State.

The so-called dividing line is just a conscious act of both sides. When Wei was weak, this dividing line was virtual.Many tribes of the Dai Kingdom would go south to plunder when the autumn is high and the air is crisp and the horses are fat.

Of course, now that the army of Wei State is strong, not only did the tribes of Dai State not cross Yinshan Mountain to the south, but they hid far away.

Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.The sky is gray, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low.

At this time, there are no cattle and sheep here, but there are herds of horses, and about [-] elite riders of the Dai Kingdom are defending here nervously as if they are facing a big enemy.

Seven days ago, the Guanzhong spies discovered the whereabouts of the previous support for the Tongguan Huxiao Battalion.Fu Jiandang guessed that the Wei army was probably planning to take advantage of the emptiness of Dai to deal with Dai.At present, this news must be confirmed.So Fu Jian activated his dead space!
Ningwu, Dai County, Yuanping County, Dongyulin, Shanyin County, and Shenchi County, these cities are the only way for Wei State soldiers to go north.So Qin Xizuo before the six counties began to act frantically!

Mayi City, now the Shuocheng District of Shanxi Province, was a lure and annihilation war against the Huns planned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history, but the Huns saw through it and failed.

Later, after several ups and downs, the strategic position of Mayi City has not been shaken.

As the frontier of Yanmen, Wei Guo deployed a thousand troops here.Of course, a thousand troops will certainly not be able to resist Dai's overwhelming soldiers.Not even an army of vanguards in Daiguo could resist.

A majestic lion uses urine to draw a circle around its territory to declare its sovereignty. Anyone who tries to enter this circle of urine will be shown as a provocation and will be killed with one blow.

If the Central Plains dynasty's national power is weak and its military strength is low, even if it deploys an army of [-], it will still face attacks anytime and anywhere.

However, the more aggressive Wei Guo was, the less Dai Guo dared to act rashly!

This morning, a small official of Mayi Ling suddenly saw Zhang Junyi, the county magistrate, depressed and his eyes were bloodshot.

The owner Bo Zhao Hong stepped forward and joked: "Zhang Junyi, did you go to Widow Guo's house again last night?"

"Bullshit!" Zhang Junyi said anxiously: "You asked for leave a few days ago, but you were happy at home, but you let me do what was originally your responsibility as the master of Zhao. It's food and grass dispatched, and it's dispatched by the people. I didn't close my eyes at all, I was exhausted!"

Youdao is speaking without intention, but the listener has intention.

A Qin Guoxie, who was installed in the Mayi County Yamen, listened carefully.It just so happened that the big-mouthed Mr. Zhao explained to him again: "Now that the autumn harvest is over and the official duties have already been dealt with, what's the matter! You must have gone to Widow Guo's house, and Widow Guo was almost sucked dry."

Zhang Junyi scolded with a smile: "I know you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth. Yesterday, when I was preparing to return home, the Ministry of War came down with a letter, ordering Mayi County to prepare [-] shi of grain and [-] shi of fodder to Dingxiang City! "
