Chapter 604: Yao Xiang's Three Strategies

The brave main army of the Yan State entered Jicheng, and captured Wang Tuo, the general of Zhao State, and more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, and escorted them to Murong Jun.

Seeing that the army under his command broke through Jicheng and captured the rude Wang Tuo alive, Murong Jun was very proud, and pointed at Wang Tuo's nose and shouted angrily: "This king has good intentions, not only did you not surrender, but also killed the king's messenger, what crime should you be guilty of." ā€

"Humph!" Wang Tuo snorted, ignored Murong Jun, and didn't even bother to look at Murong Jun.

Seeing that Wang Tuo actually despised himself so much, Murong Jun was furious and ordered: "Push it down and cut it." ā€

When the two soldiers heard the order, they dragged Zhao out and killed Wang Tuo, and then sent Wang Tuo's head up.

Murong Jun, the king of Yan, who was still angry, looked at the more than 1,000 Zhao soldiers who were captured, and ordered: "Kill all these Zhao soldiers." ā€

Seeing that Murong Jun wanted to kill and surrender the pawn, Murong Ba hurriedly dissuaded: "Second brother, by all means, if I want to conquer the people of the Central Plains, I must convince people with virtue, and indiscriminately kill and surrender the pawns, which will greatly disappoint the hearts of the people of the Central Plains." ā€

When Murong Jun heard this, his anger was still unsettled, and he looked at Murong Ke beside him, wanting to ask his opinion.

Murong Ke bowed his head and said: "Second brother, fifth brother is right, Shi Hu and the sons of the Jin people worked hard to make the Jin people in the Central Plains centrifuge, and after Ran Min became the emperor, he immediately slaughtered the 200,000 Liuyi people in Yecheng, which naturally angered the Liuyi soldiers. ā€

"The king must not be angry for a moment. Ignoring the Jiangshan Society of the Great Yan Kingdom, the old minister implored the king to release these soldiers in order to win the hearts of the people of the Central Plains. Another old minister also pleaded for more than a thousand Zhao State soldiers.

Seeing that what his subordinates said was very reasonable, all for the sake of the Great Yan Kingdom, Murong Jun finally turned his anger into joy, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let go, release all these pawns." ā€

After the subordinates received the order. He released all the more than 1,000 captured Zhao soldiers.

Murong Jun and his generals. After carefully inspecting Jicheng, I felt that the geographical conditions of Jicheng were very superior, at least much stronger than Longcheng, in order to facilitate the invasion of the Central Plains in the future. Jicheng will be the new capital. It's the most suitable.

Murong Jun looked at the general beside him. He said softly: "Jicheng is located in the center of Youzhou, bordering Jizhou in the south, Bingzhou in the west, Pingzhou in the northeast, and Beihai in the east, which is a good place." The king wants to move the capital immediately, what do you think? ā€

"Dragon City is located in a remote area, and it is time to move the capital, and the end will support it." Said one of the generals.

"Right now, our army has just captured Jicheng, and Youzhou has not yet been completely stabilized, so is it necessary to slow down the relocation of the capital." An official, built yƬ postponed.

"Your Majesty, the Thorn Mansion in Jicheng is not grand enough, should we first build a magnificent palace in Jicheng, and then move the capital." A minister said.

"Second brother, Dragon City is too far away from the Central Plains after all, so it's better to move the capital as soon as possible." Murong Ba said.

Seeing that everyone had different opinions, Murong Jun looked at Murong Ke and asked, "Fourth brother, what do you think?" ā€

Murong Ke thought for a while, and said softly: "Jicheng is the capital of Youzhou, the city is quite large, the scale is not under Longcheng, all kinds of facilities are complete, and the capital can be moved immediately, as for the palace, it is okay to use the Thorn History Mansion of Jicheng for the time being, and after moving the capital, it is not too late to build a new palace, and also, I Dayan moved the capital to Jicheng, and I can clearly tell the people of the world that my Dayan is in the Central Plains, and people with lofty ideals in the world will definitely come to vote, and the second brother does not have to hesitate, but he can immediately start moving the capital." ā€

Hearing this, Murong Jun nodded, and immediately ordered the capital to be moved, so that the officials and people of Longcheng could move to Jicheng.

Just when the Yan State marched into Youzhou and began to move the capital to Jicheng, in a large area of Hebei, Ran Min led the beggar army under his command to fight in the south and the north, and repeatedly defeated the army under the command of Shi Yuan, and won a lot.

In the land of Hebei, with the bravery of the beggar army and the revenge of the people of the Central Plains, Ran Min became stronger and stronger, and constantly compressed the living space of Shi Yuan, and forced many Liuyi people in the Central Plains to survive, and had to move back to their hometown in Central Asia.

At its peak, there were more than 300,000 soldiers and horses under Ran Min's command, and a large area of land around Yecheng was controlled by him.

In order to completely eliminate Shi Yuan, Ran Min led the main army to conquer Xiangguo, because, as long as Xiangguo was broken and Shi Yuan was killed, the Zhonghu coalition army would become a piece of scattered sand, and Hebei and the Central Plains would soon settle down.

In Ran Min's heart, as long as he has the Central Plains as his backing, relying on his own bravery and the courage and good fighting of the beggar army under his command, he can completely sweep the world and establish a unified Great Wei Empire.

####

In the direction of Xiangguo, in the face of Ran Min's stronger and stronger war, Shi Yuan was very afraid, but in order to survive, he had to organize soldiers and horses to fight a bloody battle with Ran Min, which could not be escaped.

Ran Min's 100,000 main army has once again approached Xiangguo, and the news of being occupied by the main army of Yan has also come from the direction of Jicheng.

The double blow made Shi Yuan very frightened, in the face of Ran Min's beggar army, he was already a little powerless, and now, the 200,000 elites of Yan State have captured the entire Youzhou with lightning speed, in the face of such a strong two-way people, Shi Yuan knew that he would not be able to reach it no matter what.

In order to solve the current crisis, Shi Yuan hurriedly summoned Xiangguo Shi Kun, generals Yao Xiang, Zhang Hedu, Zhang Ju, Wang Lang and other generals to discuss major matters in the palace.

Seeing that the generals had arrived, Shi Yuan hurriedly approached Ran Min's army to Xiangguo, and the 200,000 elites under Murong Jun had also captured the entire territory of Youzhou, and told the generals again.

Naturally, all the generals knew about these situations, and in the face of strong enemies in the north and south, any general felt powerless to resist.

"Generals, Ran Min and Murong Jun are coming from the north and south, how should our army resist?" After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the generals in front of him.

"Your Majesty, our army was defeated by Ran Min one after another, and its morale was low, and it was no longer able to resist the attack of the two people, so it was better to move the capital and merge the state, and let Murong Jun and Ran Min compete for Hebei, this is a life-saving plan." A general said.

"Isn't there a better way to move the capital to avoid the enemy?" Shi Yuan was obviously reluctant to leave Xiangguo.

All the generals did not have the strength to defeat Ran Min and Murong Jun, and most of them lowered their heads and did not speak.

Seeing that the generals under his command had been frightened by Ran Min, Shi Yuan's eyes were full of disappointment, thinking about what a hero his father Shi Hu was at the beginning, but now, the corpse is not cold, and the Great Zhao Empire has become like this.

"Your Majesty, Ran Min is just a martial artist, don't be afraid, Murong Jun is not going south to cooperate with Ran Min, as long as our army is united, it is completely possible to defeat Ran Min in one battle, as for Murong Jun, he has just captured Youzhou and is busy moving the capital, and he will not go south in a short time." Yao Xiang Zhengse said.

"Well, Ran Min is indeed a martial artist, General Yao is too right, there is a strategy to break the enemy." Shi Yuan hurriedly said.

Yao Xiang smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Ran Min is extremely brave, and the beggar army under his command is even more elite, if you want to break it, you must take a multi-pronged approach, and the last general only needs three strategies to put Ran Min to death." ā€

"Oh, what three strategies, General Yao quickly talk about them." Shi Yuan asked excitedly.

Yao Xiang sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "The first is a ten-sided ambush plan, the second is a counter-strategy, and the third is a suspicious strategy. After speaking, he looked at Shi Yuan confidently.

Yao Xiang said very professionally, Shi Yuan didn't fully understand, so he asked Yao Xiang to explain carefully.

It turned out that Yao Xiang's strategy was after several months of careful consideration, and specially tailored for a fierce general like Ran Min, the ambush plan on all sides was to distribute the main army in multiple directions according to Han Xin's strategy of capturing and killing Xiang Yu, and at the same time launch an attack on Ran Min's main army, if Ran Min wants to lead the army to counterattack, the army that was beaten all the way will immediately retreat, and the army in the rest of the directions will attack with all its might, once Ran Min turns around and fights back against the army behind him, the army that was counterattacked will immediately retreat, and the army that originally retreated, Then turn back and storm Ran Min's back, so attacking back and forth will greatly consume the strength of the beggar army, and it can ensure that you will not suffer too much loss.

The second counter-plan is to take advantage of the opportunity of Ran Min leading the army to go out and Li Nong staying in Yecheng to sow discord between the two, and take advantage of the special relationship between Li Nong and Zhao General Zhang Ju to ask Zhang Ju to write a letter about the appointment and send it to the direction of Yecheng, and deliberately let Ran Min's soldiers intercept it, so that Ran Min was suspicious and had to withdraw his army and return to Yecheng, which caused the rout of the army.

The third suspicious strategy is to use the horsetail to drag the branches, and the hundreds of thousands of troops will create the momentum of hundreds of thousands of troops, so as to make the Wei army afraid.

Seeing that Yao Xiang intended to borrow troops from Yan State, Shi Yuan asked puzzledly: "Murong Jun has just invaded my Great Zhao's Youzhou, and he is the enemy of our country, we borrow troops from him, how can he be willing to borrow it." ā€

Yao Xiang smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, now Ran Min's strength has surpassed my Da Zhao, this Murong Jun must know that the so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold, once our army is defeated, Ran Min's elite beggar army will pose a great threat to the army of Yan State, for his own interests, Murong Jun will definitely not refuse to send troops to help my Da Zhao." ā€

"Your Majesty, our army is no longer able to recover Youzhou, so it is better to sell your favor and officially give Youzhou to Murong Jun as a condition for borrowing troops." An officer, whispered.

Shi Yuan hesitated for a moment, and agreed to this request, deciding to officially send Youzhou to Murong Jun in exchange for reinforcements from the Yan State to jointly deal with Ran Min's Wei army. (To be continued......)
