From the momentum of the Jin army, Murong Ke can have a hunch that the Jin army is very likely this time, not only to capture the northern part of Jizhou with Lukou City as the center, but to drive straight into Jicheng, the capital of the Yan State, and to capture Shengle, the capital of the Dai State, from the direction of the Jin army's annexation of the state, which can be seen.

When Murong Ba heard this, he frowned and said, "What does the fourth brother mean, is the Jin army going all the way north this time, capturing Jicheng, and destroying my Great Yan Kingdom?" ”

Murong Ke nodded, and said with a straight face: "Judging from the current situation, there is indeed this possibility, and moreover, the possibility is extremely high!" ”

"If so, what if our army retreats? Could it be that my Dayan wants to completely give up Jizhou, Youzhou and Pingzhou, so that the Jin army is willing to stop? Murong Ba's face was unwilling.

Obviously, Murong Ba is unwilling to give up, Pingzhou and Youzhou, which have been fought with great difficulty, if these hard-won lands are abandoned, the power of the Great Yan Kingdom will be greatly hit, and the bitter cold land north of Liaodong is very unfavorable to the development of strength.

Murong Ke thought for a while, and said: "Jizhou has been occupied by our army for a short time, and the people living in it are all the people of the former Wei State, most of them oppose our army and support the Jin army, therefore, it is difficult for our army to gain a foothold in Jizhou, and the more we evacuate to the north, the more people will support our army, which is conducive to the defense of our army, our army can give up Jizhou first, retire to Youzhou, and take advantage of the arrogant mentality of the Jin army, waiting for the opportunity to strike at the Jin army's soldiers and horses, if you can achieve a big victory, Hebei's shape is very likely to have a complete reversal, At that time, our army will still have a chance to recapture Jizhou. ”

"The fourth brother is very thoughtful, the Spring and Autumn Period. The Jin State used the strategy of retreating and finally breaking the army of the Chu State, and our army can completely follow suit. Murong Ba immediately understood Murong Ke's intentions and expressed his support.

Murong Ke nodded, and said softly: "Don't care what the second brother's opinion is, immediately let the whole army prepare for evacuation, as long as it is found that the Jin army reinforcements are within two hundred miles of our army, our army will immediately withdraw to Youzhou." ”

"Yes, fourth brother, I'll go and prepare." Murong Ba replied loudly. And immediately go to prepare.

Subsequently. The main force of soldiers and horses under the command of Murong Ke began to pack up some of their bags, and there was a tendency to evacuate the north bank of Tuoshui.

Such a large-scale action to pack up in the Yan army camp was naturally easily discovered by the Jin army scouts on the other side. Seeing that the army of Yan seemed to be about to evacuate. The scout immediately returned to Lukou City. Prepare to report to Huaan.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Lukou City, Hua An and his generals were studying, and Murong Ke, the chief general of the Yan army, learned that Shengle City had been breached. What will be done.

After some research, most of the generals believed that Murong Ke would most likely choose to evacuate, and believed that the Jin army should immediately organize men and horses and be ready to launch a pursuit at any time.

"Report, Wang, the army of Yan on the other side is packing up and seems to be planning to evacuate." At this moment, a scout rushed into the Chinese army's tent, intending to report.

Yan Jun's action was completely expected by Hua An and his generals, so no one showed a surprised expression.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army is planning to evacuate, this is a good time for our army to pursue, and we should immediately prepare to send troops to pursue the main force of the Yan army." Deng Qiang pleaded loudly.

"Your Majesty, our troops are willing to be the vanguard." Zhuge Xiong shouted for his life.

Seeing that the generals under his command were all going all out to fight, Hua Anxia was naturally very happy, but from the expressions of the generals, Hua An also saw that they were under the light enemy, and Murong Ke, the main general of the Yan army, was a famous general of the Yan country.

"Murong Ke is a famous general of the Yan State, after the generals cross the Tuoshui, they must be careful in everything, and they must not go deep alone, so as not to fall into Murong Ke's ambush." Huaan Zhengse reminded.

"The king can rest assured, our army is twice as large as Murong Ke, if the soldiers and horses from the direction of Bingzhou arrive, the strength will be even more dominant, and it will be too late for Murong Ke to escape? How can there be time to set up an ambush? Deng Qiang said loudly.

Obviously, he underestimated Murong Ke and developed a strict heart of contempt for the enemy, which was very undesirable.

Seeing Deng Qiang so light on the enemy, Hua An sighed secretly, and said softly: "Generals, no matter how weak the enemy's strength is, our army should not have the heart to underestimate the enemy, the army of Yan is about to withdraw soon, and our army will be able to cross Tuoshui in a few days to launch a pursuit. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last will remember." The generals will clench their fists in response.

"Report, Wang, General Wang sent his henchmen to deliver the news, a day ago, the main force of 90,000 cavalry under General Wang had arrived in Zhongshan County." Just as the generals were about to leave Hua'an's Chinese army's tent, excellent news came from the direction of Bingzhou.

Hua'an and the generals were all overjoyed when they heard this, once the 90,000 cavalry of Wang Meng's army arrived in the direction of Lukou, it could greatly enhance the overall strength of the Jin army, and make it difficult for Murong Ke, who had 100,000 troops, to resist.

"Your Majesty, Zhongshan County is only two hundred miles away, and in two or three days at most, General Wang's 90,000 reinforcements will arrive in the direction of Lukou, so that our army will inevitably achieve a complete victory." General Chen Poyu said happily.

"In the opinion of the last general, Murong Ke will not wait until General Wang's 90,000 cavalry arrives at Lukou before starting to evacuate the north bank of Tuoshui, and the main force of the Yan army will definitely evacuate Lukou City as early as possible before General Wang's soldiers and horses arrive, so that our army must first cross Tuoshui to launch a pursuit, so as to avoid the main force of the Yan army calmly withdrawing." Zhuge Xiong frowned and analyzed.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Generals, Murong Ke's main army may evacuate the north bank of Tuoshui at any time, and the officers and men of our army must also prepare immediately, once the army of Yan Guo withdraws, our army can immediately launch a pursuit." ”

"Don't worry, the king, I'll go back and prepare later." The ministers will answer with a loud voice.

Subsequently, the generals under the command of Hua'an immediately returned to their respective camps and mobilized the soldiers under their command to make preparations immediately, so that they could cross Tuoshui at any time to launch a pursuit.

After the generals left the big tent of the Chinese army, Hua An alone repeatedly imagined in the big tent, imagining all kinds of unexpected situations that would occur once the main army crossed Tuoshui and launched the pursuit of the main army of Yan State, and thought about the countermeasures that could be taken to deal with this sudden situation.

#####

The 90,000 main cavalry of Wang Meng's army had arrived in Anxi County, Zhongshan County, and on the outskirts of Anxi County, Wang Meng asked his soldiers to rest for a while, and brought several generals to observe the terrain in the nearby mountains.

"General, there are barren mountains and mountains here, what is there to see." The general didn't understand Wang Meng's approach and said softly.

Wang Meng smiled and said softly, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" After speaking, he looked at the general.

The general frowned, and said, "General Hui, this is a hill on the outskirts of Anxi County." ”

Wang Meng smiled again and asked softly, "Then do you know what happened here?" After speaking, he looked at the general.

The general shook his head and frowned: "The last general really doesn't know, please let the general know." After speaking, he looked at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng pointed to the nearby mountains, and said: "Although this mountain does not look very conspicuous, but it is backed by Anxi County, and the terrain is treacherous, it is a good place for defense, in addition, you look at the foot, is there a lot of wild vegetables, the place just passed, is there a lot of wild fruits, these things are edible, if a large army runs out of food, hiding in this mountain, maybe it can last for several months?" ”

Hearing this, the general nodded, and then asked softly: "What the general said is extremely true, but what happened here?" ”

Obviously, this young general from Guanzhong did not know the story that had happened in Anxi County, even the story of a few years ago, and he had never heard of it.

Wang Meng smiled and said softly: "Two years ago, there was an extremely fierce battle here, a group of less than 10,000 soldiers and horses had run out of food, but with the wild fruits and wild vegetables in it, it was difficult to survive for several months, and defeated the enemy army of more than 100,000 horses in a row. ”

"Which soldier is so strong?" The general suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

Wang Meng replied softly: "This army is the elite beggar guards under the command of Ran Min, who claimed to be the emperor and established the Wei State, and it is the main force of Murong Ke's 100,000 Yan army that is fighting against it. ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded appreciatively, Ran Min's name, they have all heard of it, the strong combat effectiveness of the elite beggar army is also what they envy and worship, at this moment, they are all full of pride, Ran Min and the eight thousand beggar guards under his command can defeat Murong Ke's 100,000 main cavalry in a row under the condition of cutting off food and grass, and now, they have 90,000 elites, and the strength is equivalent to the strength of the main cavalry under Murong Ke, naturally they can't be intimidated, they must be as brave as the beggar guards, Raid Murong Ke's main army with all his strength and defeat it completely.

"General, Murong Ke will definitely take the initiative to evacuate when he learns that our soldiers and horses have reinforced Lukou City, so that our army will lose the opportunity to break the army of Yan State, in the opinion of the last general, our army should give up reinforcing Lukou City and attack Gaoyang City to the north instead, so that the road for Murong Ke's main army to retreat north can be cut off, and it can also give our army a chance to show its talents." A Jin army general said loudly.

"Yes! General, Murong Ping's tens of thousands of Yan State troops are stationed in Gaoyang City, and our army is rushing to Gaoyang City with all its might, and we will definitely be able to break through Gaoyang City in one fell swoop, so as to choke the northward retreat of Murong Ke's main army. Another general of the Jin army said loudly. (To be continued......)
