The situation was favorable to Yang Feng.

Because at this time, Yin Hao had already begun the Northern Expedition, and the Shusheng's blocking of jumping up and down did not stop the Sima family's determination to revive the prestige of the royal family......

In fact, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also warlordized.

The king and the horse, the world together is not an adjective but a fact.

The Sima family is just a formal co-master, those northern families who crossed south with their tribes, each of them is equivalent to a warlord, whether it is the Wang family, the Xie family, the Xiao family, these families, all have their own army, the Sima family is just the result of their balance, the Sima family can continue to be the emperor not because they are strong, but because other families will not accept another family as the emperor.

In that case, let the Sima family do it!

After all, they have a good name.

But now this traditional political balance is facing a crisis.

After Huan Wen, an important family occupying Jingzhou, had already threatened the interests of the royal family or other families after Pingshu destroyed the Li family, Sima Yu, who presided over the government, had to re-establish the authority of the Sima family with a victory, so as to deter Huan Wen's ambitions. At this time, after the fall of Zhao, the north fell into a melee again, and it was also the best opportunity for the Northern Expedition, with his trusted Chen Jun Yin clan Yin Hao as the commander, Chen Jun Xie clan Xie Shang and Yingchuan Xun clan's Beizhong Lang divided Xun Xian's troops into two routes, the former from the west line north to the main attack Xuchang and then recover the old capital Luoyang, the latter along the Surabaya north to open up the Yellow River, united with Yao Xiang who had just returned to the north to Tu Hebei.

Then Yang Feng is very useful.

Because as long as he blocks the Murong family, Yin Hao only needs to deal with Zhang Yu and these small warlords in Henan.

Even if Yang Feng defeats the Murong family, he can turn back to Yin Hao, then Yin Hao's Northern Expedition will turn into a brilliant victory, he will not only recover Heluo, but also Yecheng, so that the Eastern Jin Dynasty can restore the most core territory of the original Western Jin Dynasty......

Well, he's definitely not going to make it.

Yin Hao is a great celebrity, Xie Shang is also a great celebrity, the common characteristic of the two of them is that they are literary and graceful, but, but they can't fight, Xun Xian is slightly better, he is Yingchuan Xun's family, and he is a concubine, he is unwilling to marry the princess who was arrested and forced to marry, but his talent is only worthy of being a magistrate, and the generals under a Murong Li level general in the original history of the Murong family can defeat him.

The only capable Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Huan Wen.

These people are just delivering food.

But if Huan Wen went on a northern expedition, the only thing the Sima family would do was to make trouble for him, and even copy his old nest Jingzhou if necessary.

Of course, Yang Feng will not let Yin Hao succeed.

He just used the Sima family, and then got as much food as possible, he didn't have a good impression of the Sima family, in fact, even for the sake of the tens of millions of people who died, he would have to destroy the Sima family in the future, the Yongjia Rebellion was completely the Sima family's pot, they put the Wuhu into the Central Plains, they took the Wuhu as mercenaries to kill the people for power and profit, and their destruction in the north was just because they couldn't control the Wuhu because they bled too much. For example, when 8,000 women were immersed in Yishui, it was indeed done by the Duan family Xianbei, but the reason why the Duan family Xianbei was able to enter Yecheng and capture 8,000 women was because Sima Yue and Sima Ying fought for power, and Sima Yue's younger brother Sima Teng lobbied to protect the Wuhuan captain Wang Jun, and Wang Jun went south to attack Yecheng mainly under the Duan family's Xianbei soldiers, so Xianbei took the opportunity to capture 8,000 women.

Then when he crossed Yishui, Wang Jun's head twitched and ordered that women were not allowed to be carried, and he connived at Xianbei to rob him, and he did not allow Xianbei to bring them back, and those Xianbei soldiers were angry and kicked Yishui and drowned.

The same is true of the rise of Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu.

He was Sima Ying's mercenary, Sima Ying appointed him as Beidan Yu, and asked him to return to Zuoguo City to gather the Xiongnu troops to invade the Central Plains in the south, but as soon as Liu Yuan gathered the men, Sima Ying was defeated, and then Liu Yuan just grabbed the territory! Therefore, the first person who should be responsible for the death of tens of millions of people in the Yongjia Rebellion is the Sima family, they are the culprits, they opened the door to thieves to have the Central Plains Bandang Shenzhou Lu Shen, Emperor Jinshu's wife was ridden by herself to serve dishes to people is deserved, that is their Sima family's own sin, for such a family, Yang Feng will have to settle accounts with them sooner or later.

However, before settling accounts, this land must be cleaned first, after all, it is an internal account with the Sima family.

First coaxed the Eastern Jin Dynasty to get some grain to last this year, and then used new agricultural technology and water conservancy construction to develop the territory, which is close to Handan Xingtai to have coal and iron and iron, just like when they were arming their elite army when the leaves were broken. One piece of water is enough to crush all enemies, 10,000 plate armor warriors are enough to sweep away the bloody, it can be seen from the previous battles that the combat effectiveness of Wuhu is not high, and the Mongolian cavalry, Tiefutu These cold weapons are very far behind, that is, compared with the Eight Banners, they are far behind, if you really want to count, even the Khorasan Legion can't compare, at most the level of those Sogdian soldiers in the river, this is not a really powerful opponent.

But only if he survives this year and doesn't starve to death.

As long as he survives this year, he can become the Inquisitor and lead his invincible legions to a complete reckoning, so that all the sinners who caused the disaster in this land will be punished by him.

However......

Yang Feng's good life didn't last long.

Although Murong Ping stopped advancing in Guangping, he had just conquered the plain next to Dezhou, and annexed Murong Ba of Duan Qin's department, that is, Murong Chui, the king of Later Yan who rebuilt the Yan Kingdom after the Battle of Weishui in history, led an army of 30,000 troops from Murong and the Duan family to Yecheng. Although Dai Shi hurriedly sent people to Yaoxiang to ask Yao Xiang to send troops under the threat of Yang Feng's jade seal, Yao Xiang wished that Yang Feng would die, and his Qiang group was not interested in fighting with Xianbei in Hebei, so Yao Xiang crossed the Yellow River with his 70,000 Qiang families and went west to support Xie Shang in attacking Xuchang.

The arrival of Murong Ba regained Murong Ping's courage, and his army also fought out of Guangping, and 80,000 Yan troops surrounded Yecheng.

Yang Feng was surrounded.

"This is going to flood Yecheng!"

He sat on the bronze sparrow platform and looked into the distance with interest.

The Yan army is damming the Zhanghe River, and it is still in front of the soldiers and civilians in the city, building a dam not far from Yecheng, it is obvious that it is to block the Zhanghe River, so that the river overflows out to soak Yecheng, this is the best way to break through a city in the era of no cannons, it takes a long time, but as long as the embankment is piled up, even if it is not to intercept the entire river, just artificially change the flow of the river so that it is facing the city wall, it is basically a victory, the rammed earth city wall is the most afraid of blisters, Cao Cao did it back then, The battle between him and the Yuan family in Yecheng was flooding.

And Yecheng is bordered by the Zhanghe River in the north, which is also the most suitable for this tactic.

And the Murong family doesn't care about time, it is impossible for anyone to save Yecheng, they can spend half a year leisurely repairing a dam.

"Lord, go out and rush for a while!"

Dong Yan said excitedly.

Because Yang Feng has been subordinated to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the title of the King of Heaven was automatically canceled, and what the Eastern Jin Dynasty would seal him in the future has not yet decided, but His Majesty can no longer be called, and directly changed to the lord, this title is equivalent to the 240,000 soldiers and civilians in the city have all become his subordinates.

"Do we have a lot of troops?"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"Well, but if the Hulu weir is completed, it will be difficult for us to hold on, and it is already May at this time, if we don't cultivate again, we still won't have enough food to survive the winter by the end of the year, not to mention that our grain from the siege of Hulu can't be transported even if it is sent to Fangtou."

Jiang Gan said.

Yang Feng originally had a large number of officials under him, and he even had a court court, but the really useful ones were Jiang Gan and a few cronies and generals, and the rest were completely a bunch of waste of food, and even a lot of them were old fritters from the time of Shi Hu to the present, so by going to Jiankang to send the surrender letter, he stuffed all those useless into the mission to go south to find food, anyway, the Sima family would definitely not ignore their food, and it would be good for him to save a bite to eat here! After streamlining, there is basically only one Jiang Gan left to assist the minister, plus Dong Yan and Zhang Wen two main generals, the army in the city is combined into one army and three brigades, in fact, there are a total of 8,000 soldiers, 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, Yang Feng himself directly governs the cavalry, the infantry is handed over to Dong and Zhang, Jiang Gan is responsible for government affairs, and the militarization of the common people is organized into 12 guards in the unit of households.

A man in the city who has no wife directly sends a little beauty.

There are a lot of them in Shi Hu's palace!

And they are all carefully selected to definitely be regarded as beauties of this era, this slave collected more than 100,000 girls and young women to enrich the three, although most of them fled in the chaos and were robbed or died, but there are still tens of thousands left, these are all Yang Feng's, just let him give birth to his subordinates, such an adult man is a family, no one raises orphans and old people are counted as Yang Feng's, and live directly in the palace, in short, Yang Feng shouted the slogan that no one can starve to death.

"Don't worry, we'll break the enemy tonight!"

Yang Feng said indifferently.

"Lord Lang, Madame is invited!"

A delicate little beauty behind him said.

Of course, Yang Feng can't give away all the tens of thousands of beautiful girls, he himself can leave hundreds of carefully selected ones, after all, he has now recovered his function, his body is still Ran Min's, there are no previous restrictions, in fact, he not only accepted these beautiful girls, but also received a wife and several concubines!

"Let's go, let's go and see the fruits of Madame's labor!"

Yang Feng stood up and said.

The fruit of his wife's labor is a hot air balloon, which is not high-tech, nothing more than a large bag made of multi-layer silk cloth, and then the pinhole is boiled with pigskin glue paste, and a large bamboo basket is made underneath to hang, as for the fuel, this can be solved with a large oil lamp, or simply a butter candle, he also has a palace, so that he can't even get a small hot air balloon, in fact, when he took the Wenchen generals to a clearing in the Tongque Garden, his wife Dong was already waiting for him to light the fire.

"Lord, can this thing fly?"

Jiang Gan said in disbelief.

"Of course he can fly, not only can he fly, but it will depend on him to break the enemy tonight!"

Yang Feng looked at the gradually bulging hot air balloon and said with satisfaction.
