Ding Ling's new leader, General Jianyi and Henan Wang Zhai Zhen, launched an army to attack Murong Chui at night and killed eight thousand Yan troops. Murong Chui left Yecheng in a hurry with 50,000 Xianbei knights. After Zhai Bin avenged Zhai Bin, he led Ding Ling's people After leaving Yecheng and heading south in the direction of Anyang and Dangyin, he was going to Liyang.
After Murong Chui's defeat, he withdrew from the siege of Yecheng and went to Changle to gather his troops, recuperate, and prepare to assemble his army for another battle.
But the bad news came one after another at this time!
First of all, Murong De, who was going south to Dunqiu, had just arrived in Changle and had not yet entered the territory of Dunqiu. The news of Murong Chui's defeat by Zhai Zhen's night attack came. Murong De could only hold his troops stationary for now, waiting to join Murong Chui and use Changle as the Yan army. Base camp, gathering strength.
Later, Murong Lin was ambushed by Xu Zongwen at Jiangjun Ridge in Fuhu Mountain. Almost the entire army of five thousand people was wiped out. The military report that Murong Lin was defeated and captured was sent back to Changle.
The sun was turning to the west, and amid the bustle of the Changle market, a man with a golden sword across his waist led a group of people, who were riding straight towards the Changle official office in the city.
The man had disheveled hair, a brown beard and a high jaw. As the horse galloped closer, the man's face gradually became clearer. I saw that the man was in his forties or fifties, with a weather-beaten dark yellow face that was always tense, inadvertently revealing something. The stock is tough.
There is a raised, half-moon-shaped heavy wrinkle in the center of his forehead, and there are two clearly visible interlaced scars on his cheek. The claw-shaped injury has extended to the wing of his nose. It is definitely not caused by some weird weapon. It is beyond the reach of human beings. It looks like injuries from a game with wild beasts. I wonder if these two scars are really terrifying!
"Da da da -" The figure of the vigorous horse galloped like the wind on the gravel road of the main street. Inside the two white walls with exposed adobe bricks, the crisp sound of horse hooves sounded in the streets and alleys one after another. Everyone gave way after hearing the sound. .
The middle-aged man leading the team on horseback was none other than the chariot general Murong De, the sixteenth brother of King Murong Chui of Yan. Murong De was ordered to inspect the defenses near Changle. Hearing that there was important military information, Murong Chui ordered him to meet him. Murong De then Hurry up and hurry back.
Changle Government Office, this place has become the temporary residence of Murong Chui, King of Yan.
"Lao Liu was also defeated?" Murong Chui couldn't believe his ears and asked the scout to read the military report again and again before confirming that Murong Lin was really defeated.
Murong De dismounted and took two steps. The sergeants guarding the door put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads to salute Murong De.
Murongde opened the door and asked urgently: "Brother Wang, what's wrong with the sixth child?"
Murong Chui's eyes were bloodshot. He pointed casually with his hand, and the scout then reported the matter to Murong De.
Murong De glanced at the somewhat depressed Murong Chui, blinked his eyes, unfolded the military report and read it seriously.
"Report!" Another scout ran in to report.
The news that Murong Ling, the princess of Anle County, secretly left the camp to follow Murong Lin in sending troops was also sent back by the Yan army's detective horse. This time Murong Chui vomited a mouthful of blood and vowed to capture Xu Zongwen and cut him into pieces. Eat one piece at a time and chew it!
"Brother Wang, the Jin army this time is extraordinary. They were able to capture Xingyang and Dangyin successively, and also captured Lao Si and Lao Liu. They should not be underestimated!" Murongde analyzed carefully.
Murong Chui's face was full of solemnity, and he was muttering in his heart that he didn't know anything about this enemy who had defeated him one after another!
"Is it possible that Sixteenth Brother knows this person?"
"The person who led the Jin army to fight against us was Xu Xiao, the Jin Dynasty's cavalry general who was in the limelight recently and was unparalleled. This man was just a military commander who killed Yangping Gong Fu Rong. Unexpectedly, it only took half a year. This person suddenly rose to prominence..."
Murong Chui was surprised, very ashamed, and even more angry.
When did a figure like Huan Wen appear again in the Jin Dynasty?
But even Huan Wen was defeated by Murong Chui!
"Xu Xiao, Xu Zongwen, I remember this person!" Murong Chui stared with red eyes and breathed heavily: "Give me a letter of divorce and a letter of challenge! I want Xu Xiao to fight!"
Because of Zhai Zhen's interlude, the next attack on Yecheng was in vain. The morale of the Yan army had declined, and they urgently needed a victory to wake them up!
As for his opponent, Murong Chui wanted Xu Zongwen.
"Brother, please go and do it immediately!"
Zhai Zhen's surprise attack and the sudden retreat of Yan's army suddenly lifted the siege of Yecheng. However, Fu Pi drew his sword and looked around at a loss. He found that he had no way to advance or retreat, with nowhere to go and no reinforcements to come. .
He originally wanted to hold on, but in order to resist the Yan army, he ran out of food, grass and weapons. He wanted to retreat back to Chang'an, but almost the entire territory of Henan was occupied by the Jin state, and the territory from the east of Henan was Murong Chui's Yan state.
The rest of the way is to go north to Youzhou, Pingzhou, or west to Bingzhou, but these are not the results Fu Pi wants. He just wants to stay on the one-third of an acre of land that truly belongs to him.
After the siege of Yecheng was resolved, Wang Yong, the governor of Youzhou, left Yecheng with his Youzhou soldiers and headed north back to Youzhou.
There are only less than 20,000 Qin soldiers left in Yecheng. They are also responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, rescuing Qin soldiers who were killed and wounded in battle, cleaning up the accumulated boulders launched by the Yan army into the city, and repairing damaged city walls and houses. not enough!
"My lord, I'm afraid the Yan army will only withdraw temporarily. We must not let down our guard and underestimate the enemy!" Although Yang Liang, the general of the guard, was not clear about Murong Chui's sudden withdrawal, he was always a little uneasy in his heart.
How could Fu Pi not know that Murong Chui would not let him off easily after gaining power?
The retreat of the Yan army might have been a trap, a bait used by Murong Chui to lure the Qin army.
"Gu Ziran understands that the Yan army will never withdraw without reason. Several times, the Yan army was about to attack. If General Yang hadn't devoted all his efforts to the country and killed the enemy bravely, I would have become Murong Murong at this moment. I am a prisoner at the bottom of the stairs."
"My lord, this is serious. This is all the duties of my subordinates."
While the two ministers were humbling each other, the Qin army's scouts rushed into Yecheng.
"Report!"
"It turns out that it was Zhai Zhen who attacked the Yan army camp last night!"
Fu Pi and Yang Liang looked at each other. No wonder Murong Feng's army was missing early in the morning. It seemed that the Ding Ling people had broken up with the Xianbei people!
The generals of the Qin army were extremely excited when they heard the news of the internal strife in the Yan army.
The stone in Fu Pi's heart finally fell to the ground!
Just now, he was still worried that the Yan army's withdrawal was a conspiracy. As soon as the good news of Zhai Zhen's attack on the Yan army arrived, the haze above Fu Pi's head was swept away, as if he had been reborn!
"Murong Chui brought it upon himself, now there is something good to see in Hebei!"
Although Fu Pi was not very familiar with the war situation in the Central Plains and Hebei areas, the facts were indeed very complicated.
First, Murong Chui and Fu Pi fought to the death in Yecheng. Xu Zongwen defeated Murong Bao, Lan Han and Murong Lin in Xingyang, Dangyin and Baisha. Zhang Hao from Bingzhou went south to launch the second Battle of Luoyang. , the armies of Zhuge Kan and Xie Xuan who were defending Luoyang were fighting with Zhang Hao...
