The main army under the command of Hua'an, because of the actions of the imperial court and the army is discouraged, such a situation, how can you hide from Murong Ke, who guarded Xiangguo City, after learning that the main force of the Jin army in Linshui City was in turmoil, and withdrew from Yecheng, Murong Ke felt that this was a good opportunity to attack Yecheng, so he reported the situation to Murong Jun who was far away in Jicheng at the first time, and asked to lead the army to raid Yecheng, taking advantage of the discouragement of the main force of the Jin army, to break the Jin and Wei coalition forces, and break through Yecheng in one fell swoop, and destroy the Wei State.

Murong Ke's request was sent to the palace of Jicheng as soon as possible, and Murong Jun, the king of Yan, was extremely happy after learning that the army under Hua'an was disheartened, and secretly proud, thinking that his counter-plan had finally had the desired effect.

"Congratulations to the king, now that my Great Yan has made a slight counter-plot, I will let the Great Jin Imperial Court scheming, and then let the main force of the Jin Army be disheartened, if this continues, the Great Jin Imperial Court will inevitably fall into civil strife, and my Great Yan Kingdom will have a good opportunity to dominate the world." Minister Yang Wu said with his fists clenched.

When Murong Jun heard this, he smiled, and said: "This matter is going so smoothly, Yang Aiqing is also indispensable, and this king wants to reward Yang Aiqing well." ”

"It's the king who is sage, and Weichen doesn't dare to take credit." Yang Wu hurriedly said politely.

Murong Jun looked at the letter in his hand and said softly: "The main force of the Jin army is now disheartened, and the fourth brother and all the generals under his command have asked to go to battle immediately, defeat the main force of the Jin army with the power of thunder, and then destroy the Wei State, what does Yang Aiqing think?" After speaking, he looked at Minister Yang Wu.

Yang Wu thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "Back to the king, Weichen thinks that the civil strife in the Great Jin Dynasty has just sprouted. It is not known where to develop next, and it may not be the best choice to rashly attack the Jin army at this time, so it is better to observe for a while and then make a decision. ”

Hearing this, Murong Jun nodded, and said softly: "What Yang Aiqing said is that this time, although it is a good opportunity to attack the main force of the Jin army, this king feels that a better opportunity to attack seems to be still ahead. It's better to wait. ”

In fact. Murong Jun was very conflicted in his heart, he believed in Murong Ke's judgment, and thought that this moment was indeed an excellent opportunity to attack the main force of the Jin army, but at this moment. Although the main force of the Jin army is weak. But the soldiers and horses are complete. Moreover, with the help of 50,000 Wei troops, once a battle breaks out, it will inevitably cause great self-damage. And in this way, it is tantamount to losing himself, and helping the Great Jin Court solve the big trouble of his henchmen, he is naturally unwilling to do so.

And once he does not move, where will the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty go next, he can't make an accurate prediction, of course he hopes that Hua'an will have a bloody battle with the other two main armies of the Great Jin, which will cause a great defeat for both sides, and then, the army of Yan under his command can reap the benefits of the fisherman, but if Hua'an successfully resolves the current crisis, there is no major turmoil within the Great Jin, and the morale of the Jin army will soon be high, and the situation will be quite bad, Murong Jun is very afraid of this happening.

"The king seems to be worried?" Seeing Murong Jun's frowning, Yang Wu asked softly.

Murong Jun nodded and said what he really thought in his heart.

When Yang Wu heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "The king doesn't have to worry, our army can now take advantage of the opportunity of the Jin army's discouragement, transfer part of the main army from Xiangguo, attack to the east, and attack on both sides with the other army, and break through the Lukou City guarded by Wang Wu, the general of Wei, so as to pull out this nail, so that even if the Jin army does not have turmoil, our army has not missed this rare opportunity." ”

When Murong Jun heard this, he suddenly realized, and said softly: "Aiqing is right, our army can use this opportunity to take down the nail of Lukou." ”

Subsequently, Murong Jun sent his henchmen to the direction of Xiangguo, told Murong Ke, who was guarding Xiangguo, and personally led the main army to attack eastward, and attacked Murong Ping's 50,000 army on both sides, breaking through Lukou City in one sentence, and pulling out a nail inserted in the flank of the army in the direction of Xiangguo.

In the direction of Bingzhou, Xie Ai and the main army under his command also fell into the discouragement of the army, and soldiers made trouble in various army camps.

In the face of such a grim situation, Xie Ai, Yang An, Zhao Wu, Zhang Hao and other generals went all out to study countermeasures, and promised the soldiers under their command that they would definitely give them a satisfactory answer.

The main army of the Daiguo army was gathered in Yanmen County, the northernmost part of Bingzhou, only more than 100 miles away from the Dingxiang City guarded by Xie Ai and others, and the cavalry marched in a hurry and could arrive in one day.

For this reason, Xie Ai and his generals were worried, in order to prevent the Daiguo army from suddenly launching a surprise attack at this moment, Xie Ai sent a large number of scouts to the direction of Yanmen County to investigate the news, and closely monitor the every move of the Daiguo's main army.

Of course, even if the scouts can provide a reliable early warning, but the time of the warning is only a day's time, for this reason, Xie Ai and his generals after some discussion, made up their minds that once the main army of Daiguo goes south, they will lead the army to gradually retreat back, abandon more than a dozen cities in Xinxing County, retreat to Jinyang City, the capital of Bingzhou, and rely on the mountains around Jinyang City to block the advance of Daiguo's cavalry, so as to stabilize their position and wait for the situation to improve.

Xie Ai's precautions are not unreasonable, in Pingcheng, Yanmen County, the acting king Tuoba Shi Yijian, has keenly smelled the changes that have taken place in the Jin army's camp, and decided to launch a ferocious raid on Xie Ai's army at this golden opportunity, in order to completely defeat Xie Ai's Jin army and occupy the entire state.

In the royal palace of Shengle City, Tuoba Shi Yijian and several generals under his command stood in front of a huge topographic map of the state, and began to study how to attack the main force of the Jin army stationed in Xinxing County.

"Your Majesty, the main forces of the Jin army are concentrated in the two cities of Dingxiang and Jiuyuan, and our army can divide its troops into two routes, attacking Dingxiang City all the way and Jiuyuan City all the way, so that we can go south to these two cities in one fell swoop and annihilate the main force of the Jin army." One of the generals said loudly.

"Your Majesty, it is better to concentrate all the main forces, first attack Xiangcheng, and then attack Jiuyuan City, and concentrate the main forces to destroy the enemy, so as to reduce the losses of our army." Another general said.

"The main force of the Jin army has already been disheartened, why bother so much, just attack the two ways together, just rely on the power of my desert iron cavalry, it is enough to break through two cities at the same time, besides, if you hit one city first, the Jin army in the other city will flee immediately, so as to escape the catastrophe." Another general said.

Tuoba Shi Yijian stretched out his hand lightly, asked the generals not to argue, and looked at the generals, Zhengse said: "The generals don't fight, this king has decided, first capture Dingxiang City, and then lay down Jiuyuan City, as long as the main force of the Jin army is scattered, our army can drive straight in, straight to Jinyang City, as long as Jinyang City is captured, the entire state is in the pocket of our country."

"Yes, the king is wise." The generals hurriedly responded with their fists clenched.

"The generals immediately go back to prepare, early tomorrow morning, the whole army set off, to Dingxiang City to kill, this time the Jin army is disheartened, our army must capture Dingxiang City in one go, let the Jin army know the power of our desert iron cavalry, in order to wash away the shame of Tuoba invincible general being killed by Ran Min."

"Obey." The generals of the country clenched their fists in response, and left the palace in turn, returning to their respective camps to prepare.

In order to defeat the main force of the Jin army under Xie Ai in one fell swoop, Tuoba Shi Yijian decided to mobilize 100,000 elite desert iron cavalry, and use 50,000 temporarily conscripted recruits as backup, overwhelming the Jin army in terms of strength and combat power at the same time, so as to form a huge advantage, so that the main force of the Jin army, which has been weakened, is unable to resist, so as to completely defeat the Jin army, capture Dingxiang City, and then occupy the entire Bingzhou step by step.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Tuoba Shi Yijian felt that he had invested such a huge number of troops and attacked when the Jin army was disheartened, and he would definitely be able to achieve victory.

Of course, he didn't plan to tear his face with the Jin army so early, but the opportunity for the Jin army to be disheartened is a rare and unavoidable opportunity, and once he misses this opportunity, he may never find such a good opportunity again.

It can be seen from this that Tuoba Shi Yijian is more pragmatic and decisive, much stronger than the hesitant Murong Jun, of course, its ambition is also greater than Murong Jun, but the strength of the Dai State is not as good as that of the Yan State, in order to survive better, Tuoba Shi Yijian can only bow to the Yan State, act as a subordinate position of the Yan Dynasty Alliance, and cooperate with the Yan State in many major matters.

In this operation, although he had made up his mind, Tuoba Shi Yijian still sent his henchmen to report this action to Murong Jun, the king of Yan, to show his respect and importance to Yan Guo, and to congratulate and thank Yan Guosheng for capturing and killing Ran Min.

As soon as the operation of Tuoba Shi Yijian was established, the scouts sent by Xie Ai found out the news and sent it to Dingxiang City as quickly as possible to prepare Xie Ai.

Early in the morning of the second day, the 100,000 elite desert iron cavalry and 50,000 reserve recruits of the Daiguo were already ready, and waiting for the order of Tuoba Shi Yijian, with just one order, they could go directly to Dingxiang City and attack the main force of the Jin army there.

"Your Majesty, the morale of the three soldiers and horses is high, and our army will definitely be able to break the main force of the Jin army in this battle." One of the generals said loudly.

"Your Majesty, give the order to go! The soldiers couldn't wait. Another general said.

Tuoba Shi Yijian nodded, and ordered loudly: "The whole army is leaving." ”

Under the order of Tuoba Shi Yikey, 150,000 horses and horses left from Shengle City and marched towards Dingxiang City.

At the same time, the scouts sent by Xie Ai also returned to Dingxiang City, and hurried to Xie Ai's Chinese army tent.

"Report, general, on behalf of the king Tuoba Shiyi Jian personally led an army of 150,000, early this morning, will be killed to Dingxiang City, at this moment, should have already left." The scout rushed into Xie Ai's Chinese tent and reported loudly. (To be continued......)
