The eyes of all the major forces in the world are focused on Guanzhong.
Li Yue is no exception, and all kinds of information are sent back from Pegasus in Guanzhong.
After Huan Wen won the Battle of Yaoliu, he marched straight in and stationed troops in Bashang. Chang'an was already within easy reach.
The elders of Guanzhong brought cattle and wine to welcome Huan Wen, and counties and counties all over the country returned to the Jin Dynasty.
Coupled with Sima Xun's army in the south, the Fu family was already in danger.
At this time, as long as Huan Wen steps across the Ba River, the Fu clan will be defeated. There are only Fu Jian's five thousand old and weak men in Chang'an City, who are unable to resist Huan Wen's tens of thousands of elites.
"The Fu family is about to die soon!" The civil and military forces in Yezhong were already discussing the world structure after the demise of Di Qin.
After Huan Wen regained Guanzhong, his territory far exceeded Jiangdong, and he would definitely not want to be a county official again.
"That also depends on whether Huan Wen is willing to cross the Ba River." Li Yue argued against everyone's opinions.
Huan Wen may be able to conquer Chang'an, but how to hold Chang'an is a big problem. Unless Huan Wen can make up his mind to move the town from Jiangling to Chang'an and base it on Guanzhong, he can hold the 800-mile Qinchuan River surrounded by wolves.
However, moving the town to Chang'an also meant losing Jiangdong.
How to choose depends on whether Huan Wen has that ambition.
"For so many years, Huan Wen has been focusing on the south of the Yangtze River, and his foundation is in Jingxiang. I'm afraid he may not have the intention to destroy Qin." Cui Hong had the same mind-set as Li Yue.
It doesn't matter if it's none of your business.
Veteran ministers such as Liu Qun and Shen Zhong are actually not very concerned about the development of the situation in Guanzhong.
They were more concerned about the marriage between Tuoba and Murong.
Tuoba Shi Yijian Lao Niu did not eat the Li Yuenen grass, so he turned to Murong to propose marriage. This time Murong Jun did not refuse and married his aunt, Murong Huang's sister, to him.
Twelve years ago, Tuoba Shi Yijian had already married Murong Huang's daughter as his official wife.
In other words, the aunt and the niece serve the same husband together, and Tuoba Shi Yijian can serve both young and old. Thinking about it makes people blush...
Of course, this kind of thing is not a big deal on the grassland, where the folk customs are relatively wild and open.
Even if Dai Yan forms an alliance, the threat to Liang is not that great. There is still Zhang Ping in the middle, and Tuoba Shi Yijian cannot get through.
Although the alliance with Dai Guo failed, the alliance with Chile and Goguryeo was extremely smooth.
At the turn of autumn and winter, when the prairie riders were heading south, the Chile people passed directly through the Yinshan Mountains and plundered Beiping, Yuyang, Shanggu and other places, causing great disturbance to the Yan Kingdom.
After Murong Jun moved the capital to Jicheng, Youzhou, the center of gravity of the Yan Kingdom began to shift to Hebei, and Liaodong became empty.
Goguryeo has been coveting Liaodong since the end of the Han Dynasty. Although it did not take action, Yan State did not dare to take it lightly on the Chen Bing border.
This round of diplomatic war is still a draw.
Only Tuoba Shiyi remained motionless, and other forces did not pose a great threat to the Yan Kingdom.
Forging iron always requires hard work.
These means can only be used as a means of containment, but are of little use. The real winner depends on one's own strength.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Li Yue immediately rushed to the Tongque Garden. The Tongque Garden was huge. At that time, Wei Wu dug a Xuanwu pool in the garden to train his navy.
Li Yue, the naval force, did not think about it for the time being. Before Murong's family was dealt with, he had no such thoughts. At the moment, all his energy was spent on how to resist Murong's next attack.
Five hundred armored horses and one thousand infantry were waiting in formation.
The cavalry were armed with long poles and bows and arrows, while the infantry were wearing heavy armor and holding large axes.
Murong Ke defeated Ran Min with a chain horse, and Li Yue naturally had to think of a way to deal with it.
There are two ways of thinking in the martial arts hall. One is that the enemy makes a chain horse, and I also use the chain horse to break it.
Second, the infantry were wearing heavy armor and holding large axes, cutting off iron chains and killing cavalry.
The former can only be evenly matched with Murong Ke and cannot achieve the effect of defeating the enemy.
The latter has extremely high requirements on soldiers, and courage, training, and strength are all indispensable.
Li Yue had been on the battlefield and knew how terrifying the shock was when the cavalry rushed towards him. It was so terrifying for one person and one rider, not to mention the terror when thousands of iron lumps connected with iron chains rushed towards him. Power.
Ordinary people would only be frightened to the point where their limbs become weak and unable to use their strength.
Even if the soldiers blocked them, they would pay a heavy price.
"Start." Li Yue waved to the drummer behind him.
The war drums were beating, and on the playground, a hundred armored knights moved their iron hooves and slowly rushed towards the two hundred axe-wielding knights.
These soldiers are all dead soldiers of the forward battalion. They have experienced countless bloody battles and have extremely rich combat experience.
But facing the serial armored cavalry, the people who were still killed fell on their backs.
The chain of horses galloped and the ground shook. Even if the iron chains were cut off, they could not avoid the cavalry's condescending bows, arrows and spears.
After several attempts, Li Yue gradually discovered the weakness of the axe-wielding warrior.
Each of them was heavier and bulkier than the last, almost making them easy targets for the cavalry.
Some people with accurate archery skills can shoot an arrow into the face.
In addition, even if the chain is split, it will not have much impact on the chain horse.
Murong Ke naturally thought deeply when he came up with this thing, and it has been tested on the battlefield. It is not easy to crack it.
"Is it possible that we can only build a chain of armored cavalry like Murong Ke?" Li Yue was unwilling to do so.
In Water Margin, there is a scene where hook, sickle and spear are used to break the chain of horses.
But the reality is that it does not apply at all. The cavalry rushes over in a row and moves at high speed. It is difficult for the hook and sickle to hit the horse's hoof, but the cavalry on the horse is condescending and can easily stab the infantry.
"I have a plan, let's give it a try!" a person behind him said proudly.
Li Yue turned around, but it was Lu Guang.
After he stayed in Yecheng, he always lived in seclusion. He usually hung out in the Shangwu Hall and the Lecture Hall, but he only listened and did not speak.
"Yes!" Li Yue agreed without thinking.
Lu Guang selected fifty people, but they were all of average height and quick hands and feet. Then he asked them to take off their iron armor and each carry a short sword and a large round shield.
This move made others sneer.
"Isn't this seeking death?"
"If a big ax and armor can't block it, what's the use of a sword and a shield?"
Everyone was talking about it.
Even the fifty dead soldiers of the forward battalion became confused.
Li Yue scolded: "Now he is your commander-in-chief. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be punished by military law!"
As soon as the words "military law" were spoken, everyone became honest and watched quietly.
Lu Guang cast a grateful look, and then whispered something to the soldiers.
After a cup of tea, both parties finished their preparations.
The number of cavalry plus Lu Guang was reduced to fifty.
The war drums beat, and the armored cavalry began to run slowly, as if to prove their strength in front of Li Yue, they rushed harder than last time. Although there were fifty people, the armored cavalry began to run, and the ground shook.
It's no less than a frontal battlefield.
The infantry formed a cone-shaped formation. Lu Guang held a shield in one hand and a short sword in the other, standing at the front. His resolute back made the soldiers behind him calm.
"Is this person crazy?" Someone next to him sighed.
This kind of trial allows death. There is no iron armor protection. If you are not careful, you will be hit by a chain of horses, which can range from serious injuries to death on the spot.
But Lu Guang didn't take a step back.
But Li Yue's eyes lit up and he saw the secret.
