Murong Jun has already sent his courtiers to the surrounding small countries to sacrifice some interests of the Yan State in exchange for the support of the surrounding small countries, but if he wants to form an alliance with the surrounding small ** affairs and let these small countries send large armies to support him, he must sacrifice greater interests, and how much interest needs to be sacrificed in exchange for the military support of the surrounding small countries, Murong Jun is not very clear in his heart. √∟

At this time, the Great Yan Kingdom was already in danger, and Murong Jun's heart was very anxious, so even if he sacrificed the important interests of the Yan Kingdom, he would not hesitate to do so, after all, once the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, all his interests would be lost, and instead of losing them all, it was better to give up some of the benefits in exchange for the continuation of the Great Yan Kingdom.

"Aiqing thinks that if you want Goguryeo and other countries to send troops to support my Dayan, how much benefit do you need to give them?" Murong Jun looked at the courtier and asked.

"Back to the king, if you want to get military support, you must give up most of the land, and use the temptation of the land to let these small countries act as the pawns of my Dayan, and in addition, you must pour all the beauties and treasures to the small countries to reward them in order to collect their hearts, so that they will definitely be able to block the main force of the Jin army." The courtier said.

"No, the land of my Dayan Kingdom was bought by generations of ancestors in exchange for their lives, how can I send a large area in, and reward a small country with beauties and wealth, it is even weaker." One of the ministers immediately spoke out against it.

Murong Jun naturally didn't want to lose such a big benefit, but the huge threat of the Jin army's soldiers and horses still made him compromise, and he decided to take the advice of his courtiers and sacrifice huge interests in exchange for the military support of many small countries.

"This king wants to know your specific plan?" Murong Jun looked at the courtier and asked.

"Yes, the king, Weichen has the courage to speak." The courtier answered, pointing to the map in the hall. Zhengse said: "Ma Han, Chen Han, and Mu Han are south of Obifang County, we can give them Obifang County in exchange for them sending troops to reinforce Liaodong, and west of Lelang County is the land of Wo Fu." King Wofu has long coveted Lelang, this time the Jin army is coming, even if my Dayan does not give Lelang County to Wo Fu, King Wo Fu will take it himself, rather than this, it is better to directly send Le Lang to King Wo Fu, in exchange for King Wo Fu to send troops to attack the Jin army in Liaodong, and Goguryeo has always coveted Liaodong. And now Liaodong is in the hands of the Jin army, even if the main force of our army can destroy the Jin army in Liaodong, it is bound to leave soldiers and horses to garrison Liaodong, so that the soldiers and horses who return to Jicheng will be relatively weak, so it is better to make a promise to cede all Liaodong County to Goguryeo. And the king of Goguryeo also knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, so. Goguryeo will definitely pour all the troops of the whole country to the west to attack the Jin army in Liaodong, so that in the direction of Liaodong, there will be three armies of Sanhan Wofu and Goguryeo to help our Dayan, and the Jin army can no longer threaten the flank of our Dayan Kingdom, so that. All the soldiers and horses of my Dayan Kingdom can concentrate on dealing with the main force of the Jin army surging from Jizhou, and there are three kingdoms of Fuyu and Lou Hao north of Xuansu County, and my Dayan can cede part of the land north of Xuanwu County to these three countries. And widely selected beauties and treasures to send to the three countries, and let them each send tens of thousands of elite soldiers to reinforce Jicheng, and, the country of Dai who went to the desert has always been an ally with my Dayan country, this time my Dayan country is in trouble, naturally I also have to ask the country to send troops to reinforce, and promise a lot of profits, in this way, my Dayan country will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army and horses that invaded the border, and defeat it, if you are lucky, my Dayan country can go south with the momentum of victory, and capture a large area of land north of the Yellow River in one fell swoop. ”

After the minister finished speaking, he sighed deeply, and looked at Murong Jun, waiting for Murong Jun's answer.

"No, your king! In this way, most of the land of my Dayan Kingdom will be ceded out, and the ancestors will not forgive us if they know it underground, and they will not forgive us, and please think twice about it. One of the courtiers immediately objected.

"Your Majesty, ceding land is a traitorous act, and you must not do it unless you have to!" Another courtier objected loudly.

Obviously, most of the ministers felt a little unacceptable for ceding so much land at once, and even Murong Jun felt that the loss was too great.

"Ceding so much land, what face will this king face the ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years!" Murong Jun sighed with emotion, but in order to deal with the crisis in front of him, he was still willing to accept this plan in his heart.

"Your Majesty, at present, the Jin army is pressing the border, and the main force of our army is all used to deal with the Jin army, there are not enough soldiers and horses to guard the surrounding land, even if they are not ceded, these territories will be captured by the countries, rather than being captured and losing the land, it is better to reward them directly, and send envoys to instill the truth of the cold of the lips to all countries, so that they can understand the ambition of the Jin army and the effect of the cold of the lips and teeth, they are very likely to send troops to support my Dayan, this is my only choice for Dayan, and I hope that the king will make a decision immediately." The courtier knelt down as he spoke.

At this time, the main soldiers and horses of the Yan State are all concentrated in the direction of Jicheng and Liaodong, and the defensive forces of the surrounding counties and counties are very small, all of them are local troops of a few hundred people, not only the number is small but also the combat power is relatively weak, if there is a large number of enemy invasions, they can not resist at all, they can only lose these cities, when the Jin army did not have a northern expedition, these small countries naturally did not dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the Yan State, but at this moment the Yan State is too busy to take care of itself, how can they not be tempted by the fertile land that is close at hand, so, The temporary abandonment of these lands has become inevitable, and in the future, the Great Yan Kingdom will be strong and can be taken back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom are menacing, and my Dayan Kingdom is facing the danger of exhaustion, so this king still decided to cut the land in exchange for reinforcements from the soldiers and horses of all countries." Murong Jun said lonely.

"Your Majesty, do we have any other choice?" One of the courtiers frowned.

Murong Jun said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, do we have any other choice?" ”

"Maybe we can send an envoy to talk to the Jin army, maybe we can get through this crisis." One of the courtiers whispered.

Murong Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Impossible, Xizuo has already explored very clearly, the Jin army's large-scale invasion of my Dayan this time is determined to capture Youzhou and Pingzhou, this is their established strategy, unless my Dayan Kingdom gives up Youzhou and Pingzhou, otherwise, the Jin army will not retreat, besides." The land of my Great Yan Kingdom would rather be given to a weak country than to be given to a strong country, otherwise, the strong country will become stronger and stronger, and my Great Yan Kingdom will forever lose the opportunity to rise. ”

Obviously, Murong Jun knew. It is impossible to negotiate with the Jin State, Youzhou and Pingzhou are the core of the Yan State, especially the capital of the Yan State is in Youzhou, if you give up Youzhou, it will be a fatal blow to the prestige of the Great Yan State, and he has to consider the consequences of doing so, and the Great Jin is getting stronger and stronger, which has become a huge obstacle to the rise of the Yan State. As long as they can fight against the Great Jin Dynasty together, even if they sacrifice most of their interests, besides, Murong Jun has a small abacus in his heart, this time the land is just an expedient measure, once the Jin army is defeated and goes south, he will definitely be able to get the anointed land of Hebei. And so, after several years of development. His Great Yan Kingdom will definitely rise again, and in this way, is it afraid that the lost land will not be recovered?

"It is a good strategy to show the sincerity of my Great Yan Kingdom by cutting the land, and then persuading the kings to send troops to reinforce my Great Yan with cold lips and teeth, this matter will be left to you. If you want to send the best tongue-fighting warriors to the nations, go ahead and prepare! Murong Jun looked at the courtiers and ordered.

"Yes, the king, my subordinates will definitely live up to the king's trust." The courtiers shouted their orders. And turn away.

Looking at the back of the courtiers leaving, Murong Jun coldly hooked the corners of his mouth, no matter what, this cession of land is a great damage to the prestige of the Great Yan Kingdom, and even, it will cause resentment among the people of the Yan Kingdom on the ceded land, for example, a family sells some of its children to others because it is too poor, so the children who are sold will definitely be resentful, and Murong Jun naturally does not want the people of the Yan Kingdom to resent him, for this reason, he must find a scapegoat, and this courtier who proposed the strategy of ceding the land, Naturally, he is the most suitable scapegoat, as long as he needs it in the future, Murong Jun will kill this courtier at any time to appease the resentment in the hearts of the people of Yan Kingdom, since ancient times, the emperor has probably been so ruthless!

In Xiangping City, Liaodong County, the scouts sent by Wang Wu had discovered the Yan army on the other side of the Liaoshui River and immediately reported to Wang Wu.

Knowing that the 50,000 soldiers of the Yan State were approaching Xiangping City in two ways, Wang Wu was very nervous, and immediately ordered the generals under his command to speed up the deployment of defenses to resist the attack of the Yan soldiers and horses.

"General, these 50,000 Yan troops must be the soldiers and horses of Changli County, and it is impossible for the soldiers and horses of Youzhou to come so quickly." General Li Long Zhengse said.

Wang Wu nodded and said: "That's right, this general also thinks so, but even the soldiers and horses of Changli County should not be underestimated, and our army must actively prepare and must not be careless." ”

"Yes, General." The subordinate general Li Long responded with a positive color.

Because the Liao River stretches for thousands of miles, therefore, it is not realistic to deploy the defense line along the Liao River, for this reason, Wang Wu will have 30,000 troops in his hands, all deployed around Xiangping City, of which 15,000 troops are deployed in the southwest strategic place Shoushan, and the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses are directly deployed in Xiangping City, so that the two soldiers and horses are each other's horns, and can well meet the incoming enemy.

Among them, especially the soldiers and horses of the first mountain are the most critical, because this is the only commanding height around Xiangping City, standing on the peak of the first mountain, you can overlook the entire Xiangping City, if the first mountain is captured, Xiangping City is also under the nose of the enemy, and the pressure of defending the city will increase exponentially, so Wang Wu dispatched half of the soldiers and horses to be responsible for defending the first mountain, in order to keep the entire vital strategic point.

The two Yan armies that arrived on the west bank of Liaoshui, seeing that Wang Wu did not deploy a defensive line along Liaoshui, immediately began to cross the river, and after crossing the river, they quickly rushed to Xiangping City, intending to capture Xiangping City in one fell swoop.

Of course, under Wang Wu's strict deployment, Xiangping City has long been strong and abnormal, so it is not an easy thing for the two Yan armies to capture Xiangping City.

However, what Wang Wu never expected was that the 50,000 elite soldiers and horses under the command of Murong Ke had landed on the coast in the west of Wenxian County at this time, and the troops were divided into two routes to attack Wenxian County and Anshi in the north, and there was a great plan to capture Wenxian and Anshi in one fell swoop.

There are only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Wenxian and Anshi, and they did not expect the enemy army to arrive in Liaodong so quickly, for this reason, there were no strict preparations, coupled with the recent snowy weather, the soldiers guarding the city were even more slack, under the surprise attack of Murong Ke's elite soldiers and horses, they were immediately defeated, and fled in the direction of Nanguan City, and the two cities were broken by Murong Ke.

After successfully capturing Wenxian and Anshi, Murong Ke's confidence was greatly increased, and he immediately divided his troops into two routes, attacking 20,000 elites all the way to the south, preparing to capture the stronghold in the south of the Jin army, while he himself personally led nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses to march to Xinchang and Ju, preparing to attack Xiangping City after successively capturing Xinchang and Juzhuo, and the soldiers and horses left in Wenxian and He'an City were less than 1,000 people.

Murong Ke took the sea route raid and captured Wenxian He'an City in one fell swoop, the news soon spread to Xiangping City, Wang Wu, who was sitting in Xiangping, learned the news, and was frightened, Wenxian County and An'an City were broken by the Yan army, which means that his back road was cut off by the Yan army, and he and his main troops and horses wanted to retreat to the Mayoujin Ferry, which was not so easy, but Wang Wu never thought that in this snowy weather, Murong Ke and his elite soldiers and horses could travel so quickly, Unknowingly, he arrived in the west of Wenxian County, and braved the snow to attack the city, taking Wenxian County and He'an City in one fell swoop, cutting off his own back road.

"General, Murong Ke's elite soldiers are fierce, it seems that Xinchang and Ju will soon be lost, it is better to take the initiative to give up these two cities, and let the soldiers and horses in them reinforce the Xiangping army to hold Xiangping." General Li Long Zhengse suggested.

Wang Wu said helplessly: "It's too late, since Murong Ke's elite soldiers and horses can arrive in Liaodong so quickly and immediately break through Wenxian and He'an City, how can they still give Xinchang and Ju the opportunity to evacuate?" It's too late! After saying that, he sighed.

"General, the soldiers and horses under Murong Ke's command are fierce, and our army only has 30,000 soldiers and horses defending Xiangping City, I really don't know how long we can hold it!" Wei Tong said worriedly.

Wang Wu Zhengse said: "Xiangping City is the seat of Liaodong, the city is tall, and the moat has been dug, and the first mountain in the southwest can be used as a support, Murong Ke wants to break through Xiangping City, but I am afraid that it is not an easy thing, as long as our army can hold on for a month, General Xie's main force can break through the capital of Yan State, and then Murong Ke will inevitably retreat, and Xiangping City will be saved." ”
