Yecheng is a large-scale city group, which was renamed Linzhang in the early years because of the avoidance of Sima Ye, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and the Jianye of Jiangdong was renamed Jiankang.

However, Shi Zhao naturally did not shy away from Emperor Jin, and in the early years, after Shi Le conquered Santai, he directly renamed Yecheng and built it into a military fortress. However, the name Linzhang has also been retained, and Shi Le planned to move the capital to Yecheng, mainly to build the Ye Palace with Linzhang as the center.

Shi Kan's Wei Wang's mansion was not arranged in the Ye Palace, which had been built quite a scale before, but was located in the mansion where Shi Hu sat here in the early years near Santai, which was also the base camp of Shi Kan's army, stationed more than 30,000 soldiers with armor. As for the rest of the soldiers, they were stationed in Zuojinyuan Township, Wei County, and further south in Liyang.

Yecheng was originally a Dayi in Hebei Province, densely populated. Later, Shi Zhao moved a large number of people here, such as Di, Qiang, Tuge, Ding Ling, Xianbei, Linhu, Suotou, Karasuma and many other miscellaneous hus, which made the composition of the people here more complicated.

Shi Kan, who is now sitting in Yecheng, is not a powerful figure that everyone expects. Therefore, in the entire vicinity of Yedi, crowding and clutter are the norm, and there are bloody struggles in almost every inch of land and every moment.

In such a chaotic area, ordinary people don't even dare to go out and wander, but they only survive within a square inch, but they often inevitably fall from the sky.

However, such a chaotic situation was somewhat subsided after approaching Yecheng, and there was a more solemn tranquility in the city. Although Shi Kan can't control the entire Yedi, if he only manages a city, he still has a lot of spare power.

Therefore, the vicinity of Santai is also one of the few areas in Yedi that can still maintain order, and many military leaders who are arrogant and arrogant in the suburbs often place their families in Yecheng. Even if the struggle outside fails and the people are completely swallowed up, as long as they flee into Yecheng, they can avoid being driven out and killed.

This is not only a bit of dignity reserved by the military leaders for Shi Kan, the nominal lord, but also a retreat left by each of them.

In the past few days, there has been an undercurrent surging in the whole Yedi, and there are many more horsemen running on the road, fully armed, and even many generals who are guarding the town have frequently appeared on the streets of Yecheng.

Even if there is no clear news yet, for these war-torn and dangerously sensitive people, these signs alone are enough to indicate that something big is about to happen. As a result, in this tacit and impending turmoil atmosphere, the prices of all kinds of materials in the entire Yedi have soared, especially grains such as grain, which have increased by more than ten times.

A similar atmosphere is not only visible to the outside, but also in the Wei Wang's Mansion, located in the heart of the city. Some of the Peng's courtyards were already overcrowded, and a large number of officials and generals had gathered to return from the outside world to find out the news.

When these people gather together, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of discussions, and among those words that reveal hesitation and anxiety, there are a few words that appear most frequently, such as Xiangguo, Zhongshan Wang, Jijun, Huainan, and so on.

"It seems that the king of Zhongshan wants to put aside the young monarch and establish a plus king......"

Similar words, similar to each other, appear frequently in various places and in different populations. These people also spoke in different tones, either sad, indignant, or regretful, or there was a faint excitement that wanted to be suppressed but could not be concealed.

For the people of Hebei, what is closely related to them is naturally the struggle of Xiangguo. The two emperors each had a group of supporters, but everyone also knew that the two young emperors were just symbols on the table. These two symbols are sometimes extremely significant, sometimes insignificant, but if one of them suddenly intends to put them aside, it means that the chaotic situation will be greatly uncertain.

Zhongshan King Shihu is a person, and there are almost no people who have not heard of his name in Hebei. And his rebellion is also obvious, although he is in the name of the young master Shi Hui at the moment, he will put it aside sooner or later, which is already something that people of insight can guess.

However, consensus is consensus, and when this day comes, anyone who feels that they are in this situation will inevitably think a lot. Why did the King of Zhongshan choose to be self-reliant at this moment? What's the mystery here? And how will they, the people of Yecheng, be affected? What kind of attitude do you need to put on?

Regarding the fact that Shi Hu is about to claim the title of Heavenly King, everyone's inner feelings can be said to be different. The indignant people naturally felt a little unacceptable, and they all felt that Shi Hu's ambition as a thief and wolf had betrayed the trust that the ancestor Shi Le had in him during his lifetime.

But such people are a minority after all, and in fact, after Shi Le's death, even though the state of Xuan fell into a civil strife that lasted for several years, there is no sign of ending. And the statutes and old prestige left behind by Shile have long been trampled to the ground. Even some of the miscellaneous forces in the border areas that were wiped out in the early years have shown signs of resurgence in recent years.

Those who are emotionally moved naturally feel that Shile is more or less a generation of heroes, and it is an unprecedented feat to reign in the Central Plains with the humble background of Zahu, but once he dies, the great cause suddenly falls apart. Now it seems that even his bloodline sons can no longer be preserved, and it is really worth sighing.

But this kind of feeling is only due to the changes in the general trend. Unfortunately born in this world, people's hearts are most concerned about their own safety and misfortune.

At this moment, some people are concerned about Shi Hu's blatant tyranny, and he must have the strength and confidence to end the disputes in Xiangguo. And if they can really enter the Xiangguo in a short period of time, at least on the surface, the Qianguo has been divided and reunited, and Shile's bloodline will definitely be gone, so where should their Yedi forces go?

Shihu still has fans in the entire land of Hebei. Many military leaders who did not have any great ambitions in the first place also felt that it was not a bad choice to be relegated to such a strong lord.

But some people are not, it is precisely because Shi Hu is too strong, once he enters the Xiangguo, he may not allow all parties to stand on their own, and then the entire Hebei may have to face a round of bloody suppression. In such a situation, it is still around the Wei King Shikan, and it is the way to stand up by strengthening the momentum to avoid being encircled and uprooted.

The vast majority of these schemes cannot be discussed in the open. Moreover, more people are also curious about how Shi Hu suddenly showed signs of an outbreak? Where did his faith come from?

As a result, the Huainan army went north and completely annihilated Tianni's department, and the news of the imminent attack on Yecheng appeared frequently in the mouths of the people.

For Huainan Army or Shen Weizhou, the vast majority of Hebei people actually do not have a specific cognition and understanding. Although the Huainan Army's famous battle was to defeat the Qiang State that was in full swing at that time, and stepped on the bones of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qiang State and became known to the north and south, it had a profound impact on the situation of the Qiang State today.

More people mainly pay attention to their own related things, such as which side can win in Hebei's three-legged situation. The Huainan Army may be strong, and Shen Weizhou may be strong, but after all, they are thousands of miles away, and they are not too directly related.

But now, the situation is different. The Huainan army drove thousands of miles, and even crossed the Yellow River directly and took Ji County, which is already close to Wei County, where Yecheng is located, and a battle may happen at any time!

Knowing this, it is easy to understand why Shi Hu blatantly arrogated and claimed to be the king of heaven. In today's Hebei, the Huainan Army and Shen Weizhou know best that the Huainan Army and Shen Weizhou are more powerful than Shi Hu, a former defeated general, probably in Shi Hu's opinion, the Huainan Army is absolutely capable of causing trouble for the Yedi army, so that they are unable to interfere in the war of Xiangguo in the north, so they plan to do their best and finish their work in one battle!

After understanding this, the fear of the Huainan Army in the hearts of everyone in Yedi was undoubtedly a little heavier. In fact, even if there was no factor in Shi Hu's aspects, the Huainan army alone quietly took Ji County and annihilated Tianni, such an astonishing result was enough to make people so frightened that they couldn't sleep.

Although there are also reasons for different focuses and not facing up to the threat from the south, the Huainan army's annihilation of Tianni in such a short period of time is enough to show that its army is so powerful, it is simply devastating!

"Ji County has been lost, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers are coming to the city! After the fangtou, Yedi is no longer in danger to defend! Ladies and gentlemen, the knife is now hanging on the neck, life and death are tied to one shot, and you must not wait and look at it again! ”

Naturally, there were many discussions outside the Wei Wang's mansion, and the atmosphere in the mansion was also solemn. In the grand conference hall, there were more than 30 people present, all of whom were important subordinate officials in the Wei Palace, as well as powerful military leaders in Yedi. Shi Kan's face was cold and silent, while Changshi's slightly sharp and trembling voice echoed throughout the hall.

"In previous years, we waited, and it can still be said that we are far away and close to prevent, pretending that there is nothing to do in Henan. But now, Shen Weizhou has led his troops to the big river, and Huainan slashed directly into his henchmen, if he ignores it again, he doesn't know how many people in the audience will be surrounded and killed by the southern thieves within ten days! At this time of crisis, it is really difficult to hope to survive, Shen Wei Zhou Zhi is arrogant, looking at his words and deeds in previous years, he will never give the people of Hebei the best of both worlds! Only by gathering all forces and sweeping the southern thieves out of the countryside can we think of comfort again! ”

When they heard this, they either whispered or hung their heads silently.

The people present can be roughly divided into three parts. The first part is that people like Guo Rong, who were originally in the Wangzong of the Kingdom of Jin, bet separately and follow Shi Kan, the king of Wei.

The second part is a township like the Guangping You clan, Ye Di itself is their place of life, no matter who dominates this place, their cooperation and support are indispensable.

The third part is Zahu Yicong and some Hebei military leaders, who have no self-reliance and can only be subordinate to a certain party to ensure their interests and safety.

Of course, there should have been a part, which was the power of Wei Wang Shikan's own lineage. But Shi Kan himself was an outsider, and he had no more than 100 attachés under the leadership of the previous edict to return to China, and generals like Liu Zheng stayed in Huaibei.

And Congzi Tianni, who was most relied on by Shi Kan in the lineage, was directly surrounded and annihilated by the Huainan army. The rest are just a group of generals, who are extremely weak in prestige and ability.

Therefore, Tenny's defeat and death was not just a defeat on the battlefield, but also directly pushed Ye Di into a dangerous situation of suspicion and suspicion.

As the lord, Shi Kan no longer has the ability to control the army and deter the situation strongly. But this is by no means good news for the military leaders, without that kind of top-down pressure, the military leaders will undoubtedly have more initiative and private schemes, the cohesion will be gone, and the strength will not be doubled and surged.

As a result, the entire Ye Land will be reduced to a situation of being slaughtered by others!

This situation is similar to Jiangdong after Yongjia, although there is also a nominal orthodox Jin Emperor Sima Ye, but it is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is completely unexpected. All sides are ready to move, each with its own demands. Because of the full support of Zhongxing by the Yuefu overseas Chinese led by the Langya Wang, coupled with the compromise of the Wu people's portal, they were able to gain a foothold in Jiangbiao and re-establish the legal system.

The situation in Yedi today is even worse than that in Jiangdong in the early years. At least at that time, Jiangdong still occupied the land risk, resisted the enemy, and there were high-ranking celebrities who could convince the public to contact and balance all parties.

But now, the powerful enemy has been directly clubbed in Hebei, the original Yellow River Heavenly Punishment is no longer reliable, the rear Xiangguo will have great changes, and the internal authority is in a stage of weakening, and it is difficult to achieve unity with the outside world. If this situation cannot be improved, then it is inevitable to be broken separately!

Guo Rong came forward to preside over the meeting this time, in fact, to reshape Shi Kan's authority, so that these people can realize what kind of situation they are facing and what kind of opponent they are facing.

Shen Weizhou was born in Jiangdong Gaomen, the young ambition and outstanding achievements, the Huainan Army under his command is one of the few elite men in the world, and the Northern Expedition is progressing smoothly, the flag is victorious, and the first battle will take Jijun, the important place in Hebei.

In such a situation, even if ordinary people want to take refuge, they may not be accepted, and even if they are accepted, they may not be valued and their original rights and interests will be preserved. This can be seen from the fact that Yuzhou people fled north in groups.

When it comes to fame and prestige, Shen Weizhou may be slightly inferior to Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, but it is impossible for him to tolerate these township sects and military leaders again and again like Shi Kan.

The alliance under the city will be a great disgrace!

Ye Di was facing such a situation right now, the Huainan army drove straight into Hebei, and almost encountered any decent resistance. The situation in Xiangguo will soon undergo great changes, and the situation in Hebei as a whole will also undergo great changes.

These people, even if they want to surrender to sincerity at the moment, they can't find a suitable partner at all. Xiangguo was in danger, but Shi Hu had not succeeded in entering Xiangguo after all, and the defeat of Huaishang in the early years also damaged his prestige, and the people of the time were optimistic about him at most, and no one dared to be sure that Shi Hu would win the final victory.

And Huainan Shen Weizhou, that is an extremely arrogant person, in the order of the Governor's Mansion issued in the early years, these people present are all objects that need to be eradicated. Even if the follow-up decree eases slightly, the current situation of the Huainan Army is very good, and it will definitely not impose more tolerance on them.

There are many things that can be thought of but are difficult to say. Even if there are many people here who want to join the Huainan Army, after listening to Guo Rong's analysis, they all feel that this is definitely not a good opportunity to surrender to Cheng, at least they should slightly frustrate the prestige of the Huainan Army, prove the strength of their Hebei heroes, and negotiate conditions in the future.

Of course, if the Huainan army can be sent back, it will be a better result for them. The first is to preserve the foundation of Yedi, and secondly, you can take this victory north to Xiangguo, and even participate in the internal fighting of Xiangguo.

Shi Kan also put away his grief at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Huainan's northward advance this time is really unexpected, the town general Tian Ni is self-confident and negligent in his duties, and he can't stubbornly resist the enemy, even if he doesn't die, he must be severely punished!" But the people of Huainan are by no means unstoppable, and their crowds are scattered......"

was able to be crowned king with a fake son, and was entrusted with the weight of being orphaned by Shi Le, although Shi Kan was a little weak in character, he was by no means a mediocre talent. Explain the military situation lightly, and at the same time endure grief and belittle Tian Ni, who died in battle, in order to dispel the impression that the Huainan Army is invincible in everyone's hearts.

"This situation seems to be life and death, but it is not a good opportunity for me to show off in this world! After the Middle Jin Dynasty, the Jin industry has long been in decline, this matter is seen by the world, the southern thief seems to be strong, but he is a person who is rejected by the sky. Shen Wei and Zhou were fortunate to be preserved in previous years because of the terrain. The thief has never been to the north in his life, and the heroes gather here, how can the raccoon dog slave be allowed to intervene! ”

Shi Kan also knows that it is really difficult to say that it is touching to talk about loyalty and righteousness at the moment, and he must also show a real attitude in order to strengthen the stubborn resistance of these people and the southern thieves: "In previous years, I was entrusted by the ancestors, and now I am sitting in the south for Your Majesty's trust, and the southern thieves are in the realm, and the country is in danger. After today's meeting, we will immediately set off for Liyang, and we will never allow the southern thieves to take another step to Hebei! I hope that you can work together with me, and when you succeed in this battle, I will be honored and rewarded, and I will be at the same table with you! ”

When everyone heard this, they were also full of blood for a while, although they had their own thoughts before, but since they had Shi Kan as the co-master, they all recognized Shi Kan's talent and strength. Therefore, all of them left the table one after another to express their willingness to fully support Shi Kan. At least before defeat is doomed, Yedi still needs a harbor that they protect together.

After receiving everyone's statement, Shi Kan was also relieved, and at the same time, there was no lack of pathos in his heart. The outcome of this battle is a matter of life and death for him. Shen Weizhou's raccoon dog slave wrote a few articles, and they all reprimanded him for being a thief and a father, leaving no room for anything. If he does not win this battle, he will also fall, and he has the intention of fighting to the death.

The statements of everyone present were somewhat credible, and Shi Kan didn't have to think about it at the moment. In this battle, he is using his life to win a better future for these people, as long as these people are not stupid to the home, they should also understand which is more important at this time.

Shi Kan decided to personally go south to supervise the battle in Liyang, but the Jijun side could not relax, and must take advantage of the Huainan army's unstable foothold to send heavy generals to recapture, so as to push the defense line back to the Yellow River again.

When Shi Kan was hesitating, Guo Rong took the initiative to ask. In addition to Guo Rong, Shi Kan really didn't have any candidates to trust at the moment, so after a little muttering, he agreed to Guo Rong's invitation to fight, and sent a few generals to accompany him, leading 10,000 elite soldiers to Jijun immediately.
