c_t; Shoushan is only a few miles away from Xiangping City, although it is still snowing heavily at this time, but the sentry on the wall of Xiangping City still clearly saw the huge flames burning in the direction of Shoushan Daying, and immediately reported to Wang Wu. （

At this time, Wang Wu was still immersed in the excitement of annihilating the three thousand elite men and horses of the Yan army, for this reason, there was no sleepiness, he even felt that after this battle, the self-confidence of the soldiers and horses under his command had been fully mobilized, so that he could definitely hold Xiangping City for a long time and win time for the main army of the West Road to break through the capital of Yan State.

"General, there is a fire in the direction of the Shoushan camp, and there seems to be a battle there." A sentry reported loudly.

Wang Wu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly ran out of the city gate tower, and looked in the direction of the Shoushan camp, and saw that there was a huge fire in the direction of the Shoushan camp, and he couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.

Obviously, such a big fire means that the Shoushan camp was attacked by the main force of the Yan army, and the Shoushan camp is the gateway to Xiangping City, once the Shoushan camp is broken by the Yan army, Xiangping City is completely under the nose of the Yan army.

"General, there is a fire from the Shoushan camp, it must have been attacked by the Yan army, is our army immediately reinforced." One of the generals rushed over and said loudly.

Wang Wu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The specific situation of the Shoushan camp, we can't see it clearly at all, in case this is the Yan army's plan to lure the enemy, wouldn't it be dangerous for our army to rush out of the city, besides, the Shoushan camp is dangerous, and it is definitely not an easy thing for the main army of Yan to attack the Shoushan camp, at least, before tomorrow morning, the Shoushan camp will not be lost." After speaking, he frowned and looked at the firelight in the distance.

The ministry will hear this. felt that what Wang Wu said made some sense, so he nodded approvingly.

"General, there are two soldiers running outside the city, it seems that they are our soldiers." A soldier shouted.

Wang Wu looked out from the lookout of the city wall. Sure enough, two soldiers were running, and they were already approaching the city gate.

"Who's here?" A lieutenant asked loudly.

"General, we are the soldiers of the Shoushan Battalion, and we are here to report the news." A soldier under the city said.

When Wang Wu heard this, his brows frowned. He was not sure that the soldiers under the city were the soldiers and horses of the Shoushan battalion, and in this situation, the two soldiers under the city were most likely pretended to be the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom.

"What happened to the Shoushan camp?" Wang Wu asked.

"General, the Shoushan camp has been broken by the Yan army. Our army has lost nearly half of it, and now it has been completely dispersed, and the two of us finally broke through the blockade of the Yan army before reaching the city. One soldier said with tears in his eyes.

"What, the Shoushan camp has been lost?" Wang Wu was shocked, paused, looked at the two soldiers under the city suspiciously, and asked, "You are so bold." Dare to shake the morale of the army, come and open the city gates. Arrest both of them. ”

Obviously, if Shoushan really lost, it would be a huge blow to Wang Wu's soldiers and horses, so Wang Wu must immediately deny the fact that the Shoushan camp was broken by the enemy, and ordered two soldiers to be escorted into the city. So that from their mouths, we can learn the details.

Soon. The city gate opened, and the two soldiers were escorted into Wang Wu's Chinese army tent. [The update is fast, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, I like this kind of website the most, I must praise it] and Wang Wu also came down from the city wall and walked to the big tent of the Chinese army, he wanted to personally interrogate the two soldiers reads;.

"General, these two people are indeed soldiers of our army, and their subordinates recognize them." The captain whispered in Wang Wu's ear.

Wang Wu nodded, walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and carefully questioned the two.

From the mouths of the two, Wang Wu finally learned that it was his own negligence, so that Murong Ke, the lord of the Yan State, found the opportunity to break through the Shoushan camp, and regretted it.

However, since the Shoushan camp has been broken by the main force of the Yan army, it is useless to regret it, and the top priority at the moment is to do a good job in the defense of Xiangping City to block Murong Ke's attack and buy time for the friendly army.

Soon, there were sporadic soldiers who fled back to Xiangping City, and leaked the fact that the Shoushan camp was broken by the main force of the Yan army.

In order to boost the morale of the soldiers of Xiangping City, Wang Wu told all the soldiers about the current situation and told them that as long as they held on for half a month, the capital of Yan State was very likely to be lost, and when the time came, the main army of Yan State would inevitably withdraw.

Under Wang Wu's encouragement, the morale of the soldiers of Xiangping City finally improved slightly, and they strengthened their determination to defend Xiangping City.

Early the next morning, the weather cleared, and the heavy snowfall that had been falling for nearly ten days finally stopped.

In the Shoushan camp, Murong Ke, the main general of the Yan army, stood on a high platform, looking at Xiangping City in the distance, he could see the deployment of the Jin army in the city, he could see it clearly, if the Jin army moved in the city, it would not escape his eyes.

"General, the situation in Xiangping City is all under our noses, so it will be very easy for our army to break through Xiangping City." One of the generals said loudly.

Murong Ke smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Capturing Xiangping City is our army's established strategy, however, judging from the deployment in the city, it seems that it is not an easy task for our army to capture this city. ”

"General, our army broke through the Shoushan camp in one fell swoop, and the Jin army in Xiangping City must have been frightened for a long time, maybe our army can easily capture Xiangping City without spending much soldiers and horses." The general said confidently.

"What you said is also true, if the Jin army has no fighting spirit, it will be much easier for our army to capture Xiangping City." Murong Ke said with a straight face.

"General, the siege equipment built overnight has been built." A Yan military captain reported loudly.

Murong Ke smiled at the corner of his mouth, and gave an order to prepare to attack Xiangping City, this time, he would personally lead 20,000 elite soldiers and horses to attack the south gate of Xiangping City, and the 50,000 troops at the north gate would also launch a fierce attack on the north gate of Xiangping City at the same time, Murong Ke believed that as long as the Jin army was disheartened, Xiangping City could be easily captured.

Subsequently, the 70,000 army of Yan launched the first round of fierce attacks on Xiangping City, but. What Murong Ke didn't expect was that although his attack was extremely fierce, the Jin army's defense was also extremely active, and the battle lasted for more than two hours, after the Yan army paid thousands of casualties. Xiangping City has still not been breached.

After the failure of the first round of attacks, Murong Ke realized that the Jin army in Xiangping City was not discouraged, so he decided to postpone the siege and continue to build more siege equipment, so so. When 100,000 follow-up soldiers and horses arrived in Xiangping City, he could launch a round attack on Xiangping City with the absolute strength advantage of 170,000 soldiers and horses, so that the defenders of Xiangping City never had time to rest, so as to completely drag down the Jin army defending Xiangping City. Then he broke through Xiangping City and obtained the most important strategic point in Liaodong.

####

At the moment when a big battle was launched in the direction of Xiangping City in Liaodong, on both sides of Yishui, the main army under Xie Ai and the soldiers and horses of Yan under Murong Ba also started a bloody battle.

Although Xie Ai's soldiers and horses had a large advantage in troops, this advantage was greatly weakened due to Yi Shui's blocking. The soldiers and horses of the Jin army crossed Yishui many times, but they were all attacked by the soldiers and horses of the Yan State, for this. They had to retreat to the south bank to recuperate, and then attack the north bank again.

"General, the enemy army relies on the Yishui defense line to fight our army to the death, which will greatly slow down the speed of our army's attack on Jicheng, it is better for our army to divide the troops into three routes, and contain the soldiers and horses of Yan State all the way in the Yishui defense line. Walk all the way upstream, bypass Yishui, and capture the city of Gu'an. Then approached Jicheng, and the third way went downstream to cross the Zhangshui River to attack Quanzhou. Anci Changxiang is close to the north gate of Jicheng, so Jicheng will be in the pocket of our army. The ministry general seriously suggested.

When Xie Ai heard this, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said: "This plan of dividing the troops into three routes has been thought about a long time ago, but the general intends to hand over the task of dividing the troops into two roads to Deng Qiang and Yang An, who are about to arrive, and let Deng Qiang lead the soldiers and horses upstream, and Yang An leads the soldiers and horses downstream." ”

"General, General Deng and General Yang's soldiers and horses will take at least three days to arrive, and our army has many more soldiers and horses than the enemy, why don't you divide your troops to attack?" The general asked puzzled.

Obviously, the ministry general expressed dissatisfaction with Xie Ai for giving up such a great opportunity for meritorious service to Deng Qiang and Yang An.

Xie An explained with a smile: "Youzhou has been operated by Yan for many years, and the people there are mostly Hu people, and most of them have been attached to Yan State, our army enters Youzhou, in addition to facing the army of Yan State, we also need to face being attacked by the powerful people of Yan State at any time, so if there are not enough soldiers and horses, we will not risk going deep into Youzhou." ”

"But general, the main force of the Yan army is attacking Liaodong, if we return to Jicheng after breaking through Liaodong, our army will lose this opportunity." The general said unrelentingly.

Xie Ai waved his hand and said confidently: "Don't worry! The main army of Yan State is unable to return in a short time, the general has just received the news, General Wang Meng has led 3,000 troops to set off for Liaodong a few days ago, and the 50,000 naval army of the Yangzhou Army has also gone north by sea, I believe that it will soon be able to reach Liaodong, with these two people, it is difficult for the main army of Yan to quickly solve the battle in Liaodong, so it is impossible to return to Jicheng in a short time. ”

The general had nothing to say, so he had to keep his mouth shut honestly.

In the North Palace of Luoyang City, Hua'an has received various situations from Liaodong and Hebei, for the current situation, Hua'an is still quite satisfied, he believes that this attack on Yan State, will be able to achieve a comprehensive victory, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is there, although Yan is very strong, but compared with the powerful Great Jin, it is weak.

"Your Majesty, news of the Yi rebellion has come from Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Guangzhou and Ningzhou, and the main force of the Jingzhou army has been transferred to various states to quell the rebellion." One of his subordinates reported.

"What, there is a rebellion in four states at the same time, how is this possible?" Hua An said suspiciously.

A subordinate immediately said, "Your Majesty, this may have been done on purpose. ”

"Deliberately." Hua An frowned and thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Could it be that we transferred 100,000 Jingzhou troops to the north to crusade against Yan State, which aroused the vigilance of the King of the South, so he came up with such a bad idea." ”

"Your Majesty, it's very possible!" The subordinate hurriedly said.

"Hey, there are rebellions in all four states, why is there no rebellion in Jiaozhou alone?" Hua An asked curiously.

The subordinates frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Jiaozhou is all barbarians, and if there is really a rebellion, it will be extremely difficult to pacify, so naturally there will be no rebellion." After speaking, he glanced at Hua'an.

Hua'an understood, and immediately understood what his subordinates meant, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, since King Nan has resorted to such a means in order to avoid the transfer of troops by the imperial court, why don't we help him and let a large-scale rebellion occur in Jiaozhou, so that King Nan will really be busy." The henchman said.

Hua An thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "That's right, this king also has this intention, and this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates will not let you down." The henchman's subordinates hurriedly responded.

Hua An nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth showed a smug smile, as long as there is another large-scale turmoil in Jiaozhou, Hua An will order the main force of the Jingzhou army to go south to quell the rebellion in the name of the emperor, in this way, the troops in Jingzhou are empty, the threat to Luoyang City will no longer exist, and after the problem of Yan is completely solved, the problem of Jingzhou will be very easy to solve.

Seeing that the whole world was about to fall into his control, Hua An proudly looked forward to it, at this time, his eyes had looked at the more vast land of the Western Regions, where in the Han Dynasty, was the location of the Western Regions Protectorate, and after the Great Jin Dynasty unified the Three Kingdoms, where the Western Regions Changshi Mansion was set up, responsible for ruling the vast area of the Western Regions, and maintaining the smooth flow of the Great Jin Dynasty and the Western Silk Road.

However, due to the rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Great Jin Dynasty fell into turmoil, so the Western Regions Changshi Mansion soon ceased to exist, and the Guangrou Western Regions fell into turmoil again, and the Silk Road became no longer smooth.

At this moment, Song Cheng, the general of Liangzhou, has been ordered to form a camel army in Liangzhou, and there is also a camel team of 100 people in the capital Luoyang, so that Hua'an can understand the combat power of the camel cavalry.

Hua'an wanted to immediately order Song Cheng to move west from Liangzhou to recover the vast area of the Western Regions, but at this time, the Yan State problem had not been completely resolved, so Hua'an had to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and after the Yan State problem was completely resolved, he would recover the vast area of the Western Regions, so as not to let the Great Jin fall into the disadvantageous situation of fighting on both sides.

At this moment, Hua'an has already thought that he must first completely solve the threat of Yan and stabilize the situation in the northeast, and then find a way to completely control the Jingzhou army, so that the Jingzhou army cannot threaten Luoyang City, so that he can march into the Western Regions wholeheartedly, recover the vast area of the Western Regions, and plant the battle flag of the Great Jin Dynasty in the cities of the Western Regions forever. ”
