This is an inevitable war, and everyone in the world, from the octogenarian to the dancing elephant, understands this truth, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This truth is the same when you look at the world, the world cannot accommodate so many princes, and only one person can win in the end.

Yanbei hopes that person is himself.

If given a choice, he would not be willing to start this war, as he always willed. Perhaps it was because of his young experience as a merchant and a raider that he knew the irreplaceable importance of waiting in a long life, and made him try to see the future years from everything in the present. As he often said, there were tens of millions of people under his rule, which was almost half of the people in the world, and the rest of the princes were no match for him in this regard, so the further the war dragged on, the more beneficial it was to his Yan clan.

But at the same time, no one in the north can empathize with the fragility of the Yan clan like him, the territory he rules is too large, this is like the two fronts of the Han sword, you can concentrate your strength to cut the enemy, but once there is a problem inside, you can easily cut yourself.

Cao Cao's declaration of war on the north, Yanbei has been waiting for a long time, after years of war, there are only a few princes left in the world who can be ranked, and Cao Yuan, who is in the land of two states, is at the forefront. Now that the Yuan clan has already declared war on the north, Cao's entry into the war means that the Yan clan has to face the enemy of the four states at the same time, and in the face of such an enemy, no one can be calm.

Even if it's Yanbei, it's the same.

If he loses this battle, I am afraid that the Xiongguan built by Yandong in western Liaoxi will have a place to use; If he wins, there will be no more princes in the world who can be his enemy...... He didn't have much to choose but to repel the enemy, or cross the river to the land of Henan and seize the enemy's land.

As the king of Zhao, he looked back and had no room to retreat.

"The soldiers are very fast, thanks to General Gao's envoys, we also have to gather troops and horses to deal with the Cao clan's attack."

Yan Bei, who said this, did not know that although these envoys who brought back important information were indeed sent by Gao Ran to the Zhao Palace to deliver the letter, they were not sent by Gao Lan, but from Zhang Jaw, who led the army to besiege Leling and had several fierce battles with Han Meng, the general of the Yuan clan who wanted to break through. In the year of the emperor's return to the east, Zhang Jaw sent many envoys to the other side of the Yellow River, the original intention was to find out why Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun to attack Hanoi, but then the army marched eastward, and Zhang Jaw left the scouts to pick up only a few envoys, and more of them became dead in Yanzhou and could not return to Jizhou.

Later, some envoys naturally joined Cao's army and became Cao Cao's soldiers in Henan's county. This time, there were people in the dead room who received the order to assemble the army, and they risked their lives to bring back the news, and it was only by chance that Yanbei learned about it.

However, the origin of the envoys is no longer important, because tens of thousands of Jizhou troops have arrived at the north river of the Yellow River with the world's most elite armor and assembled in Wei County!

Dian Wei is still the general of Yanbei's headquarters, although his official position is only a captain, but this commander is the commander of Zhao State, with 14,000 soldiers under his command, and 4,000 Yulin cavalry led by Yanbei himself; Dian Wei and Guan Hai each led 5,000 elites, combined into the Chinese army, and his subordinates 300 stone cannons and 800 Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots were rampant in the Jizhou Plain, and the most powerful ballista weapons in this era were their killer weapon for victory. In the Yulin cavalry led by Yanbei himself, there were more old generals of the Lu clan, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others, all of whom led hundreds of soldiers as partial generals and captains, and their combat power was high.

As the vanguard is Zhang Liao, a native of Bingzhou, although he still looks biased in the position of partial general with the first merit of pacifying the Lizhou Campaign, but the 18,000 soldiers including the general Zhang Nian as the vanguard officer is enough to show that when the battle is won, the official position is at least to be promoted to the rank of miscellaneous general.

The leader of the left wing is Wuhuan Wang Badun, as the only remaining leader of the Hu clan in the north, he has long been regarded as a comrade by the Yan generals in the war, commanding Su Fuyan and other Hu Shuai, with tens of thousands of Wuhuan Hu cavalry columns to the south...... Yanbei promised that after the end of this war, the Wuhuan tribes would be separated from all parts of the Central Plains, Hu Shuai would get the title he deserved, and the soldiers would get land or money and enough titles according to their military exploits, so that Han and Hu would not be divided.

The same Hu soldiers on the right flank, some of them belonged to Xianbei and some to Wuhuan, and the only ones who could lead them were the Yan Rou and Yan Zhi brothers. Although the two of them have not yet been recognized by Yanbei, their ability to command the Hu army in battle is expected, so Yanbei is not stingy to treat them with the official position of a partial general.

As for the rear army, it was Gao Lantun's soldiers and horses guarding Wei County, they used the water army Chen Bing Dahe to build a ropeway for the war ships to speed up the river, and took the lead in sending troops into Yanzhou East County, taking advantage of the fact that the Yanzhou army had not yet assembled and sent to the north, and the overwhelming force had built three camps on the northern bank of the East County.

The situation has always affected the whole body, all the princes you have me and I have you, just as the Cao army has the Yan envoys, the Yan army also has the secret talks of the princes from all walks of life, the letters to the horses from Jizhou to all parts of the world one after another, I don't know how many horses are tired of death, but in just a few days, the armies of Yanbei and Cao Cao have not been able to send all the troops to both sides of the Yellow River, and the princes of the world have received the secret reports sent back by their respective envoys.

Cao Cao raised 60,000 troops, known as 100,000, and attacked the Yan clan with the Yuan clan; Yan's army of 40,000, Hu soldiers 60,000, from Zhuo, the place of the dynasty to Zhao, Wei two counties, the army array of cattle and horses into a herd, the banner stretches for hundreds of miles, the vanguard has arrived in Wei County, the rear formation is still in Xingtai, the momentum is huge, there is the tendency to annex mountains and rivers.

Within a few days, there were secret reports spread everywhere, saying that the Yuan clan had defeated Qingbei, and the Yan generals Lu Yi and Xu Huanglianke Plain, Le'an, and Jinan had beheaded nearly 10,000 prisoners. Xu Huang led the troops to assault Yuan's army from behind, killing Jiang Qi and beheading Yuan Shang, Lü Weihuang and Lü Kuangwolf fled, and the military division Xiao Ji only led 500 horsemen to flee to Beihai. Yuan Gong was furious, and his son Tan garrisoned Xuzhou, and personally led an army of 30,000 troops to the north, wanting to meet Lu Yi.

The Yan army crossed the river and went down, the counties of Dongjun looked at the wind and fell, the general of the Cao army, Xiahou Yuan, led the strange soldiers to travel 500 miles in three days to help, attacked Cangting, and fought against the former army of the Yan clan, Zhang Liao's subordinate lieutenant Beiyan, the first battle won and strengthened the morale, and then resisted by Beiyan and Zhang Nian, fearing that he would be trapped by the army and retreated to Xiaqiu.

In October, Liangzhou Han then spread to the states, rebelled against the imperial court at the invitation of Yuan, and sent 300,000 Liangzhou soldiers to attack Longxian, trap Longguan, and kill Liangzhou Mu Weikang. Zhao Yun led the troops to resist the enemy outside the county border, and attacked and killed Han Sui's subordinate general Zhang Heng in Zhangjiachuan.

At this point, the world shook.
