Chapter 112: The World Is Swinging
What happened in Jizhou, Yanbei is not easy to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. If it is a good thing for him, but at this point in time, it does not seem to be a good thing.
"Zhang Junyi, Zhang Junyi, who surrounded Han Meng and Leling, broke through Leling City, Han Meng was captured and died on the way to Zhao State." Yan Bei's face made people unable to see joy and anger, and said this sentence calmly. Han Meng resisted stubbornly after breaking the city, and was injured by Hua Xiong, who rushed into the city, and died halfway. Gao Ran stroked his palms and shouted, "King, this is a good thing!" ”
No one understands the situation of Wei and Bohai counties better than Gao Ran, Lu Yi has already sent troops south, and Gao Ran has been paying attention to Han Meng, the general of the Yuan army besieged in Leling. He knew very well that as long as the defenders of Leling City had not been removed, it would always be a nail in the coffin in Jizhou, especially after the army moved south.
Now that the city of Leling is broken and Han Meng is dead, the southbound army has no worries at all, and the Yan clan has two more Zhang Jaw and Huaxiong for reinforcement scheduling, no matter how you look at it, it is a good thing.
"It would have been a good thing." Yan Bei's face was incomprehensible, and he said slowly: "Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, heard that the kings of Henan joined forces, and also raised troops to respond, recruiting more than 3,000 soldiers from the country, and going south to take Yecheng...... The bad is the bad, the righteous array beheaded the king of the river! ”
"Huh?"
All the generals were shocked, to be honest, even if it was Yanbei, he was naturally furious when he heard about the alliance of the kings of Henan, and immediately planned to send troops to break the Liu, Cao, and Yuan clans this time. But it was only a military victory, and he, he really didn't think about what to do with these princes and kings after the victory.
That's the princes and kings, it's not that you can kill if you say it's killed, especially not if he Yanbei says it's killing!
Until now, Yanbei can't say in his heart what kind of mentality he has for Emperor Liu and the kings. He has resentment, but also guilt. Because the surname Yan cannot be crowned king, except for Liu, all surnames in the world cannot be crowned king, but he can. If it is reasonable, the situation in Yanbei's heart should actually be like this, he was crowned king, the kings of the Liu family raised troops, and then he defeated the kings of the Liu family...... And so it passed, like mud.
You are not happy, let's fight, and you can't beat me, it's great to capture all the kings, and then make a city like Ye and raise them all in captivity. Kill all the princes and kings? Yan Bei is really not that fierce, he is not the barefoot slave of the past.
As a result, the open jaw opened the head.
The contradiction in Yan Bei's heart was completely stimulated after hearing the news...... What should he do?
Let him lose his military power and knighthood, impossible. That is equivalent to being killed, not to mention that there are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, even if there is no Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he will not just count the princes and kings raising troops. It's just that he didn't plan to kill the princes and kings who raised troops at first, but once this precedent was opened, there were not many options left for Yanbei.
"Don't do the first, don't stop the second?"
There is only one way left in Yanbei, and all the generals in the tent looked at each other, all paying attention to the changes in Yanbei's expression, and first Gao Ran came back to his senses and said: "King, the king of Hejian wants to rebel and attack Yedu, and Yilu should also be beheaded, and Captain Zhang has made meritorious contributions." ”
With Gao Ran taking the lead, all the generals gave up their hands to show their work. In fact, all the generals knew very well that Zhang Jaw killed the King of Hejian in the battle this time, and inadvertently forced Yanbei to suffer, and they wanted to help Zhang Jaw speak no matter what.
No one can guarantee whether he will kill another vassal king in the next war, when Yanbei needs to be tough on the vassal king...... They have to support the practice of jaw opening.
"Of course, righteousness is meritorious service, but it is still a great merit...... Alas, but is it a good thing or a bad thing that this happened at this time? Yan Bei was reminded by Gao Ran, and suddenly shocked to know the thoughts of the generals, and immediately affirmed the opening of his jaw, and said ruthlessly: "In this case, who should be the right to deter the kings of the south, and who are the ones who go to participate in the alliance?" ”
Another turmoil disappeared invisibly, Guo Jia hugged the book and said: "Chen Wang Liu Chong, Qi Wang Liu Cheng, Beihai King Liu, Donghai King Liu Xian, Pei Wang Liu Yao, Dongping King Liu Kai, Fuling King Liu Amnesty, Langya King Liu Rong, Pengcheng Wang Liu He, Liang Wang Liu Mi, Jibei King Liu Luan, Rencheng King Liu Tuo, Ganling King Liu Zhong...... If you count the dead king of the river, there are fifteen kingdoms. ”
What is the concept of the fifteen countries raising troops? There are a total of eleven counties in Youzhou. Later, the princes of the Han Dynasty were in many Yan, Henan, Qing and Xu prefectures in the Central Plains, and the only one who raised troops was the king of Fuling in Yangzhou Jiujiang. In other words, these fifteen countries, plus Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, are all mobilized the forces of the entire four states and send troops to the north to attack Yanbei.
"Hey, that's huge!" Yan Bei casually took the battle report reported by Zhang Jaw before, but he was not frightened by the strong momentum, and pointed to the point and said: "The king of Hejian raised 3,000 troops, but he was defeated by Zhang Junyi for the first time, and the only one who worried about the kings was Chen Pet, and everyone else could fight and defeat!" ”
The generals' judgment of the situation is also roughly the same as that of Yanbei, Guan Hai said: "The two countries of Beihai and Donghai do not cultivate their troops, that is, they have each raised more than 10,000 troops, and it will only take a moment to conquer them. If they retreat in the city, they may still have some trouble, but out of the city to fight? O king, it is better to find out where they will meet and defeat them in one fell swoop! ”
Guan Hai thought about it once and for all, but for Yanbei, he was really not afraid of them guarding the city, he was only worried that the kings and Cao Cao would go around Yanzhou with him, and the decisive battle was absolutely not afraid. The fully armed Yan army requisitioned Youzhou ordnance from Hebei for two more months and sent it from the sea with the warships, hundreds of stone cannons, even if the city was strong in front of Yanbei, it would be collapsed.
"What General Guan said is very true!" Guo Jia rarely praised Guan Hai, a rough man, and then said to Yanbei: "Although the coalition army raised by King Chen is huge, he and Cao Yuan are not allies. The princes and kings are not just courting Yan, I am afraid that Cao Yuan will also be afraid of them...... And there is also an interesting news to inform the monarchs, the kings sent troops behind, Liu Jingsheng sent troops in front, Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei have sent troops out of Jing to attack Yingchuan and Runan, and when they meet, what will happen? ”
Yan Bei didn't have much joy when he heard Guo Jia's words, he just shook his head and sighed: "It's been nearly ten years, and when we wait for the coalition to discuss the Dong Hui League, it's just like that. I never thought that Yanbei would be like Dong Zhongying back then. Dong Zhongying is not afraid of the coalition army, and Yan is not afraid either, but ah...... Ziyi, who left behind in Hebei, has to be optimistic about Yedu and Handan, the more times like this, the more we must be careful of our backs and be cautious everywhere. As long as the killing power of the monarchs and the killing power of Yan are united, even the gods above the nine heavens will not be able to stop the unification of the rivers and mountains! ”
