The state of Han plans to destroy Murong Yan state in three months. The scheme adopted is three routes as the main attack, and there are several auxiliary supporting schemes to connect the inland to the sea water system.
Qiushui battlefield is only one of the three main attack routes. If it is special, it is only that Liu Yan is in charge personally, which does not mean that the real main battlefield is here.
There are two battlefields in Yan state. At present, the Western battleground maintains a stalemate, while the eastern battleground forces Lu Tai to retreat tactically after the defeat of several affiliated countries. Generally speaking, judging from the situation of the two front battlefield, the war between Han and Murong Yan was not dominant. On the contrary, there were some signs of ineffective promotion.
"Facts have proved that the king's seat has attracted about 200000 enemy troops." Ji Chang took it for granted: "the most capable generals of the Murong family are also on the eastern front."
The Western battlefield of Murong Yan state is arranged around almost the whole right Beiping county. The front position of the Han army alone is nearly 100000. The defense line is established by relying on the dangers of various mountains and rivers, and the cities on the possible attack route of the Han Army are reinforced again and again.
The defense line on land can be accumulated by manpower. For murongke, the biggest headache is the whole coastline and naturally those navigable water systems.
Murongke received many war reports every day, including where the Han army landed in any water system, where the Han army attacked, how many places were destroyed and how many war results were achieved. There are so many similar war reports that they can be stacked together.
Let's say the coastline of the Bohai Sea? The long coastline of thousands of miles makes Murong Ke want to defend. There is not enough troops. It is a big problem whether the Han army will come or not. The garrison at a certain station receives the news of where the Han Army has landed. The Han army will withdraw long before the garrison at this place arrives. It is a small matter that the garrison on the coastline is tired of running, After stepping into too many traps and being ambushed many times, Murong Ke quickly withdrew after the loss to a certain extent.
Murong Ke has no choice but to withdraw. He has a lot of troops in his hands, but there are too many places to defend. Most of the coastal areas need to be transferred, leaving only a few. If he is completely passive, it is really time to withdraw.
Of course, both sides can set traps and bury ambushes, but Murong Yan army is the side of defense. Only by guessing where the Han army will land can there be a basis for arrangement. The Han Army, as the party with the initiative, did not have a fixed track and did not go too deep. Of course, as the party with the initiative, it took advantage of the boss.
In addition to Qiushui, the most troublesome and important thing for murongke is moistening water. Most of his troops are arranged in the Qiushui defense line, while moistening water is in the rear, which means that they are sandwiched between Qiushui and moistening water from two directions.
"In view of this, Murong Ke must always be worried and cut off." Xu Zheng pointed to the location of Lingzhi City: "the enemy troops have stationed heavy troops here and have been strengthening urban defense since the beginning of last year."
Lingzhi city was an important military town in the east of Murong Yan state from the beginning. It opened a canal connecting the city on the east bank. The Han army tried to use the canal to attack. The feedback was that a large number of bed crossbows were arranged on that wall.
"In addition to the bed crossbow, they also creatively built four sluice defense lines, each with a sudden cut." Xu Zheng really admires those wonderful ideas. The cutting road he said is similar to the sudden flight of a waterfall: "therefore, even if a boat rushes in, it will overturn when it encounters the cutting road."
Murong Yanguo has the technology to make bed crossbows, which is slightly worse than that of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Not only the single shot bed crossbows, but also the three shot bed crossbows, which are mostly used to arrange urban defense. It seems that Murong Ke also brought some to be arranged in some mountain strongholds on the East Bank of Qiushui?
A group of people were discussing, but someone shouted outside the military tent.
The visitor reported the situation on the front line to Liu Yan and said that Murong Yanjun set fire again. This time, it burned the forest that had not been affected before.
"..." Liu Yan guessed the key in an instant, narrowed his eyes and said, "a fire made us withdraw to the West Bank and wasted 13 days. Murong Ke has tasted the sweetness."
In recent years, most areas have not been developed, but maintain a green style. You can see forests everywhere. This is the case in the Central Plains. Youzhou will be slightly more serious. After all, Youzhou has been far less populated than the Central Plains since ancient times.
To speak of, the right Beiping county is really full of forests, especially the forests on both sides of Qiushui are more widely distributed. As a result, it is necessary to cut down a large area of forests to establish a camp. If you want to enter, you basically have to touch the forests.
"The general of the Hussars sent one to the forest before, and nearly 200 people failed to withdraw." Liu Yan put down the war report in his hand and didn't show too much emotion: "the fire in that forest will hinder us for at least seven or eight days. What new discoveries have the scouts sent out to explore the way?"
Xun Xian recently undertook the task of sorting out information and immediately replied, "No."
As I said, the situation here is like that. There are dense forests everywhere. It is rare that there will be any formed road. Even if there is, Murong Yan army has long arranged defense. With Murong Ke's close and strict posture, it is almost impossible to make another detour and sneak attack.
"It is reported that Murong Xianbei only let Tuoba shiyijian garrison the north line. In addition to the remnants of Tuoba Xianbei, Murong Xianbei did not strengthen Tuoba shiyijian's command." Xu Zheng said that those meant the same thing. Whether it was Liu Yan or LV Tai, the Han Army in both directions had become a partial division to contain Murong Yan army. The one who could really make achievements was on the north line battlefield: "Sir, the invasion of the forbidden guards was smooth?"
Liu Yanmei frowned uncontrollably. His frowning expression made the military tent fall into absolute silence.
The forbidden guards on the north line originally wanted to invade Zhang's Liangguo. When they approached guzang for about 300 Li, they turned their heads and drove to the East. They entered the grassland voluntarily abandoned by Tuoba Dai army, and went all the way East. After eight days of marching, they arrived at the north bank of zuoyeshui (salamulun River).
Before the arrival of the forbidden guards, Tuoba Shi Yijian had found out in advance. Before that, he contacted Tuoba Xiu again. He was extremely humble and frightened to beg his sister. He said that Tuoba had been removed from the country and didn't want to stay. Anyway, he asked his sister to ask Liu Yan to let Tuoba live.
Since tuobaxiu met Liu Yan, at the beginning, he had all kinds of resistance and contempt. After waiting to become Liu Yan's woman, he can be said to be a qualified woman. Even becoming one of the four imperial concubines of the Han state is worthy of the title of Princess de. it is only one of them not to interfere in the state affairs at ordinary times. It involves the Han state and Tuoba Dai state, which can also put their position as Princess De of the Han state, It can be said that there is nothing to be picky about as a wife, but as the daughter of the Tuoba family, it makes Tuoba shiyijian and other families angry.
Tuoba on behalf of the state of Han provoked and actually entered a state of war. The winner of the war between the two countries is one thing. If you dare to challenge, you must be mentally prepared to destroy the state. Tuoba Xiu knows this very well. She began to worry later. It was the fear and anxiety caused by ran min's wanton pit killing in Bingzhou and Shuozhou. She was deeply afraid that Tuoba Xianbei would come to the same end after the defeat.
The extermination of the country and the extermination of the race are two different things. Before Tuoba shiyijian pleaded, Tuoba Xiu begged Liu Yan several times not to implement the extermination policy against the Tuoba family. In fact, Liu Yan would not treat Tuoba Xianbei as he did against the Jie family. The subsequent captive Tuoba Xianbei was not killed. Tuoba Xiu thought that his plea had a good result, On the one hand, I feel sorry for Liu Yan, on the other hand, I am really relieved.
After Liu Yan agreed to part of Tuoba Xianbei's surrender, Tuoba Xiu was very self disciplined and no longer intervened. Together with Tuoba shiyijian's pleading again, he didn't reply, but Tuoba shiyijian obviously didn't hope for his heartless sister.
Tuoba shiyijian did it very simply this time. In the early stage, he built many river crossing bridges in zuoyeshui. He built them despite Murong Xianbei's repeated inquiries and waited for the forbidden guards to approach within a hundred miles. Tuoba Xianbei was an ally with Murong Xianbei at the last moment, and Tuoba Xianbei raised his weapons at his previous allies at the next moment. Before contacting the Han Army, Tuoba shiyijian attacked Murong Xianbei, and then contacted the Han army.
It should be said that the purpose of Tuoba shiyijian has been achieved. Liu Yan is happy to quickly open the defense line of Murong Yanguo's north line. With Tuoba shiyijian as the pioneer, the war on the north line went surprisingly smoothly, and the forbidden guards did not attack Tuoba Xianbei.
"Ah?"
One by one, I was stunned to learn what the situation of the north line was.
"Two days ago?" Ji Chang wanted to ask Liu Yan why he didn't say it, but whether the king knew it was one thing, and whether he said it or not was another thing. As a subject, he had to bear it to the greatest extent no matter how reluctant he was. He smiled bitterly and said to Liu Yan, "Your Majesty... But it's a great surprise for Chen and others?"
Ji Chang said that he was stunned. Not only he, but also some people who reacted were basically stunned.
The battlefield on the north line should be seven or eight hundred miles away from Qiushui camp. Even if it is urgent, it will take three or four days to send the news. During this period, it is necessary to verify. They are ignorant about how their king knows what happened on the north line.
For those who know and don't know, Liu Yan's secrets are endless. After being stunned, he buried all his doubts in his heart. What he urgently wants to understand is what Liu Yan considers.
"I have accepted part of Tuoba Xianbei's surrender. They will be scattered everywhere as labor. When the time limit comes, they will become a Han people living and working in peace and contentment. I believe they will eventually become a real Han people." Liu Yan's meaning is obvious. No matter what it is, he really didn't want to kill Tuoba Xianbei. He added: "Tuoba Shiyi is alive and will unconditionally accept the arrangement of the widows after killing Yan."
There was only Liu Yan's voice in the military account. Those who did not understand were still stunned, while those who were active in mind launched a deduction.
Most people think that Liu Yan, for the sake of Tuoba show, will also think about the benefits of Tuoba Xianbei's counter attack on Murong Xianbei to the state of Han. In fact, what they don't know is that Liu Yan really didn't want to kill Tuoba Xianbei from the beginning.
Liu Yan knew one thing very well. Even if the history had not changed, Tuoba Xianbei had sinicized himself in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he had no bad feeling about Tuoba Xianbei. Let's be clear. There is no lack of Tuoba Xianbei blood in the blood of later Chinese people. That's why Liu Yan alone accepted Tuoba Xianbei as his own woman, but none of the other races accepted it.
After a long time, Xu Zheng was the first to speak: "king, the war on the north line?"
In an instant, all the people, whether they were empty or thinking, looked at Liu Yan.
It should be said that Tuoba Xianbei's backwater has dealt a great blow to Murong Yan state. Not to mention that Tuoba Xianbei, which should have been used as a blocking, has become the enemy of Murong Yan army, it can be said that Tuoba shiyijian has pulled many Murong Yan state officials to give up their secrets. The north line of Murong Yan state is really eroded in a very short time.
Liu yanle said, "we have entered Pinggang (a hill next to the earth word, which has been simplified and gone)."
Pingchang is located at the upstream of Yushui bifurcation. It is about 200 li away from the national capital of Murong Yan state, Longcheng. There is only a Liucheng in front of the Longcheng as a barrier.
Everyone here knows what the dragon city means to Murong Yanguo. They know that the North Route Army has reached the dragon city for less than 200 miles, and one after another began to breathe heavily.
Xu Zheng was both excited and puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, Murong Xianbei doesn't trust Tuoba Xianbei so much?"
It means that the Murong family can't be wary of Tuoba shiyijian. It must be targeted layout. How can the north line erode so fast.
Liu Yan doesn't know what's inside. All he knows is the changes shown in the map of his mind, but he can't act like he doesn't know and say, "the forbidden guard is the absolute elite of the Han Dynasty."
Xu Zheng was the first to nod his head in agreement, and everyone behind him was an echoing expression.
"Since the war on the north line is going smoothly and is approaching Longcheng, Murong Ke should receive the news soon." Sang Yu seems to be trying his best to suppress his inner excitement, but it is difficult to hide his joy: "not only murongke's East Road Yan army, but also the West Road Yan army led by King Yan (murongjun), they have no choice but to help Longcheng?"
Liu Yan is a hesitant attitude towards this.
Murong Yanguo is already making a national transfer, which means that the dragon city is in a state to be discarded. In that way, the dragon city will not have such a high political status and value.
Sure enough, Xu Zheng did not need Liu Yan to say it bluntly, which embarrassed sang Yu who wanted to show it.
"We can't know the transfer progress of Murong Xianbei." Ji Chang said fiercely: "how to leave the so-called things, the two-way Yan army, is the major event that your colleagues should rack their brains to think about!"
