The country of Xiang is bleeding like rivers of blood. If you issue an edict at this time, there must be something big going on.
Calculating the time, reinforcements from all over Jie Zhao should have gathered.
Li Yue stood up and offered his hand to Jia Jian, "We are busy with military affairs. Come back and have a drink with the general another day."
"I feel very satisfied with the Governor's hospitality." Jia Jian quickly handed over his hand.
Li Yue returned to Gaocheng County Yamen with his soldiers.
Chang Wei has been waiting for a long time.
"The letter from Xiangguo at this time must be asking for help?" Li Yue said first.
Chang Wei shook his head, "No, the Lord of Wei ordered the governor to attack Jicheng."
Li Yue was stunned. This edict... was really difficult for someone to do. More than 100,000 Yan troops were gathered in Jicheng. It would be a good thing if they didn't come to attack him.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood Ran Min's intention, "It's almost the same. He was too embarrassed to ask for help, so he asked us to hold Murong Jun back."
Chang Wei laughed and said, "I just received the information that Yao Xiang's 30,000 troops and Shi Kun's 40,000 troops are marching towards Xiang State."
"Is there any movement in Yan State?" Thirty thousand plus forty thousand, that is 70,000, which is a certain threat to the Wei army under Xiangguo City.
However, Ran Min is good at fighting evil battles, and these few troops will not kill him.
In the previous battles, he had performed miracles.
"The State of Yan stands still." Chang Wei handed over Ran Min's edict.
Li Yue glanced at it, Ran Min was Ran Min, the situation was unfavorable, but he was still confident, so he let the Black Cloud Army attack Jicheng first, and after he defeated Yao Xiang and Shi Kun, they then attacked Jicheng together and captured Murong Jun and Murong Ke alive. …
Looking at the edict, Li Yue couldn't help but feel a little funny.
In the past, Ran Min's edicts were not so polite. The situation in Xiang State was not good, and his attitude towards the Black Cloud Army was also softened.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
"Yao Yizhong's vitality is seriously injured, Shi Kun has been defeated repeatedly, and Zhang Ping has nothing to worry about. The key to the battle of Xiangguo lies in Yan's reinforcements." Li Yue signed the edict.
Murong would not miss such a good opportunity. After Murong Jun withdrew his troops from Bohai, he did not return to Longcheng. Instead, he stationed troops in Jicheng, eyeing Jizhou.
And if Yan State sends troops, Ran Min will definitely not be able to stop him.
Murong Ke was famous all over the world, let alone generals such as Murong Chui, Murong Ping, and Mu Yugen.
Goguryeo, which these people killed in Liaodong, collapsed.
"A certain person wants to send troops to pretend to attack Fanyang County. How about containing the Yan army?" Li Yue thought carefully for a while and then said.
Ran Wei can't fall down yet, he has to rely on him to block Murong's troops.
"The Yan army has tens of thousands of troops in Jicheng. How many can we contain when our army goes north?" Chang Wei asked rhetorically.
"It depends on manpower, otherwise Murong Jun's army of tens of thousands marches straight in, and the whole of Hebei will be swallowed up by Yan."
"I feel that the key to Hebei is not whether the Yan army comes to help, but Wang Wu of Lukou!" Chang Wei pointed at the map and said.
After the Heiyun Army captured Hejian, they formed a close relationship with Lukou.
In the current situation, Lukou turned to Ran Min. Ran Min would definitely be able to stop Murong Ke and turn to the Murong clan. The Murong clan would sweep across Hebei and even the entire Central Plains.
Lukou belongs to the Boling Kingdom, guarding the Lutuo River, and has become the gateway to Jizhou.
Although the Yan army could bypass from other places, the presence of Wang Wu prevented the Yan army from going south with all its strength, and there was a danger of cutting off its retreat at any time.
The reason why Li Yue was able to force Murong Jun back in the Bohai Sea was at least half of Wang Wu's credit.
Otherwise, the Heiyun Army would not be facing Murong Jun.
"Wang Wu...doesn't surrender to the Yan army or to the Ran Wei army. Is he really loyal to the Shi family? He sent someone to send some food, grass and weapons to find out their background, and then ordered Qin Biao and Mi Jin to attack with light cavalry. Fan Yang, contain the Yan army."
As long as Wang Wu does not surrender to the Murong clan, he is a potential ally of the Black Cloud Army.
Ran Min is responsible for resisting the barbarians on the battlefield, while Li Yue must unite all possible forces to protect him as much as possible.
"Wang Wu is willing to be the governor of Jie Zhao Youzhou. Now that the world is in chaos and he has tens of thousands of strong troops, he must be ambitious. I will go there in person." Chang Wei cupped his hands and said.
Don't reach out to hit the smiling man. Chang Wei goes with food and weapons. Wang Wu should not embarrass him.
As long as you still have a little strategic vision, you will know the value of the Black Cloud Army.
"Then there is Mr. Lao." Li Yue handed over his hand. He was the only person around him who could send an envoy.
Chang Wei also returned the favor.
After a day of preparation, Li Yue personally sent Chang Wei west.
But at this time, news came from the south again, and the Duankong of Fangtou began to get ready to move. Xianbei Qingqi made several attempts to peek at Liyang, Chenliu, and Xingyang.
Xu Cheng was not an ordinary person. Duan Kwan sent cavalry to spy on Yanzhou, so he sent cavalry to Fangtou. They came and went with each other. They made several attacks and made some small gains. They plundered several small tribes of the Duan family and killed a few. Hundreds of men, plundered more than a thousand cattle and sheep, and returned with the whole army.
After going back and forth several times, Duan Gong did not dare to act rashly and concentrated his troops on Fangtou to defend to the death.
The situation in Hebei is getting more serious day by day.
The situation in the south stopped, and reports of defeat came from the north.
Mi Jin and Qin Biao led their light cavalry northward, and fought back and forth with the Yan army's cavalry. Unexpectedly, Murong Ping and Feng Yiqi's troops stood out and captured Shuzhou, Wuyuan and other cities north of the Lutuo River, and almost almost Mi Jin and Qin Biao were locked up in Fan Yang.
Fortunately, the Cui family knew the route well, and Mi Jin and Qin Biao were brave and good at fighting, fighting their way back to the south of the Lutuo River.
Li Yue didn't put much thought into these two counties, so it didn't matter if they were lost.
Nowadays, Lutuo River is used as the boundary, which is in line with the current situation.
A few days later, news finally came from Youzhou that the Yan army was dispatched.
It was not Murong Ke, nor Murong Chui, nor Mu Yugen, Feng Yi, Yang Qian and others, but Yue Wan led 30,000 cavalry from Longcheng and went straight to Xiangguo.
In September of the fourth year of Jianwu, Li Nong and Zhang Ju led an army of 30,000 to attack Fancheng. At that time, Yue Wan only had a thousand men, but he resisted Li Nong and Zhang Ju for more than ten days, and finally made Li Nong retreat.
The Black Cloud Army was pinned south of the Lutuo River, and there was no chance of restraint.
Yue Wan's 30,000 infantry and cavalry were transferred from Longcheng, leaving Jicheng alone.
"Quickly convey to Your Majesty the news of Yue Wan's 30,000-strong army arriving for reinforcements!" That's all Li Yue could do.
With Jia Jian and other Bohai powerful men present, Li Yue respectfully addressed Ran Min as his majesty.
If the Heiyun Army goes west to support, Murong Jun of Jicheng will definitely not stand idly by. Whether Murong Ke or Murong Chui leads the troops to fight, it will bring greater pressure to Ran Min under Xiangguo City and add more variables.
"Your Majesty has been besieging Xiangguo for a long time, and the attack is exhausted. The soldiers are tired, the morale of the army is not there, and the barbarians are as powerful as a rainbow. This battle is very difficult." Jia Jian, who has always been optimistic and bold, is not optimistic about Ran Min.
Judging from the situation on both sides, the situation is very unfavorable to Ran Min.
But it's not like he doesn't have a chance.
"There is a fortress under Xiangguo City, and the fortifications are strong. We only need to block Shi Kun, Yao Xiang, and Yue Wan for a few days and wear down their vigor, but the victory or defeat is still uncertain."
Since Murong Ke and Murong Chui didn't go, Ran Min had a few more opportunities.
As long as he can keep his composure and don't make any stupid moves, even if he can't win, he won't be defeated.
"I hope it's as the governor said." Jia Jian bowed his hands.
The baby had a high fever and was busy finishing two chapters in the hospital...
