"He who knows the current situation is a hero. The Yan army of hundreds of thousands is about to move south. How many days does General Lu think he can resist? Li Yue's ambitious people will not tolerate Lu Kou hanging out for a long time. This year will be your last chance. "Feng Fang's eyes were like a wild wolf looking at its prey.
In the last fight, Feng Yi suffered a secret loss, and Feng Fang was almost killed in the city by Liang Guoxinzuo.
But this time, Feng Fang came prepared.
"I wonder how King Yan treats me?" Lu Hu's eyes flickered.
As the Yanliang War is about to break out, Lukou, caught in the middle, will surely become the target of public criticism.
Neither side will allow Lukou to remain so divided.
"Then how much effort does your Excellency need to provide? The King of Yan has admired the general's name for a long time. If we can attack Liang together, we can marry him, and the two families will become one family, and there will be no difference between them. In the future, the Central Plains will be pacified, and the land will be split and the borders will be sealed. After all, isn’t it much better than the nominal King Boling and King An?”
"Prince Yan is really willing to marry?" Lu Hu was surprised, his heart swaying.
Nothing is stronger than a blood connection.
Compared with the nominal King Boling of the Liang Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom is obviously more sincere.
Feng Fang chuckled twice, "General Lu is famous all over the world. He has 40,000 strong soldiers, which is enough to influence the world's structure. If you vote for Liang, Liang will be strong. If you vote for me, Yan, then Yan will sweep the world. A mere clan daughter counts. What?"
Lu Hu, the military commander of the Yan Kingdom, knew that these 40,000 troops would become his troops. With this army and horses in hand, coupled with the marriage, it would be just around the corner to achieve great success in the Yan Kingdom.
Despite Feng Fang's claims, Lu Hu was still hesitant. The key point was that Lukou did not have the final say alone.
The main reason for the success of the mutiny was that Qin Xing killed Wang Wu and was unpopular.
That's why the generals elected him to power.
There are a large number of people in Lukou City who hate the Yan Kingdom. Especially in the past two years, the soldiers seem to have awakened and are no longer willing to bend their knees and live under the crotch of foreigners.
Today he, Lu Hu, dares to declare his surrender to the Yan State, and tomorrow his head will be hung on the city wall.
However, there are many types of surrender. You can do it step by step. Lu Hu's eyes flashed and he said, "How about we take a long-term approach?"
Feng Fang frowned. It took a lot of effort to come to Lukou this time. In order to cover him, the spies in the city sacrificed 40%, but what they got in exchange was a "long-term plan."
"We might as well tell General Lu that this war is no small matter, and the army attacking Liang is not part of our Yan family!"
If inducement fails, replace it with threats.
"Brother Feng, please be patient and listen carefully." Lu Hu was mysterious...
Yao Xiang was very considerate. After receiving the order, he immediately ordered Yao Yisheng to lead an army of 20,000 to go south and stationed in Liang County.
Chang Wei, the governor of Yuzhou, sent a report saying that Huan Wen's garrison in Ye County was just to deal with the Northern Expedition from Jiangdong. In his opinion, Xun Xian's journey was nothing to worry about, and he was just bluffing in response to Murong's southward movement.
So the real threat is still the Murong family.
Li Yue was told to be careful of Lukou.
The Murong family's goal must be Lukou.
Li Yueshen thought so.
He sent an order to Yang Lue, who was lurking in Lukou City, and told him to act according to the opportunity. If Lu Hu had the tendency to surrender to Yan, he could immediately launch a mutiny.
Li Yue also gathered an army in Yecheng, ready to attack Boling County at any time.
Lukou is now not only a thorn in Yan's side, but also a thorn in his own side.
Li Yue also gradually felt that he could not control Lu Hu.
"Your Highness..." As soon as he finished reading Chang Wei's letter, Zhang Shengye came to report.
Looking at the downcast expression on his face, you knew there was nothing good going on, "Just tell me."
"On March 13, General Dong pursued Zhang Qian to the Waishui Valley. Murong Chui's strange troops emerged and two thousand elite troops blocked his retreat. General Dong was attacked from both sides and was captured in a fierce battle..."
This is the first defeat this year.
When Dong Run was chasing, Li Yue asked him to lead 5,000 black cloud troops northward, but he was stubborn and only used his own troops.
"I know." Li Yue sighed, but that was all.
Murong Chui's two thousand riders and Dong Run's three thousand riders were captured by humans. There is nothing to say.
Li Yue will not let this small defeat affect his emotions. The next war will only be more tragic and more people will lose their lives.
Compassion does not command troops.
"Hurry up and move Guangzong's begging army away." Li Yue said expressionlessly.
Zhang Qian betrayed, Dong Run was captured alive, and the migration became a matter of course.
"Wei." Zhang Shengye's eyes suddenly looked a little more fearful when he looked at Li Yue.
Murong Chui won a victory and the momentum was great. He joined forces with Mu Yugen and Yue Wan to attack Changshan from Xiangguo and Zhongshan with an army of 130,000.
The Yanliang War officially kicked off.
Su Yan, the governor of Changshan, quickly asked Yecheng for help.
"Murong Chui had sinister intentions. He besieged Changshan to attract our army to go north and recreate the situation of destroying Wu and mourning the emperor!" Cui Hong could see the Yan army's strategic intention at a glance.
Yecheng was built like an iron barrel, and the troops were well-prepared. Let alone the 130,000-strong army, even the 300,000-strong army could not be easily broken.
Therefore, Murong Chui's preset battlefield was in Changshan and Xiangguo.
In the great battle of Xiangguo, Ran Min lost all his 100,000 elite troops. Later, Murong Ke went south. Ran Min led 8,000 Wei troops to fight against 100,000 Yan troops, and finally fell to Murong Ke's chain of horses.
Today's situation is the same as that day...
Moreover, the Yan army is not limited to this route. Murong Ke's 20,000 elite troops are stationed north of the Lutuo River.
To the south, the Jin army was also actively cooperating with the Yan army to contain Liang Guo's spirit.
Liu Qun said: "There is a mountain between Changshan and Bingzhou, so it is better to ask Zhang Ping for help."
Li Yue shook his head, "Zhang Ping is so cunning and cunning that he is not under the protection of Lu. During the Yan-Liang War, he watched from a distance and reaped the benefits. How could he easily get involved? As long as he doesn't follow the Murong family to attack me, he will be satisfied."
At the same time, Zhang Ping professed his vassalship to Jin, Yan, Qin and Liang, and became brothers with Yao Xiang. Within a year, the boat of friendship capsized.
How could such a person send troops to assist Liang Guo?
Li Yue felt that he didn't have such a big reputation. If he didn't come, it would be less troublesome. If he came, he would have to guard against him...
"Could we just give up on Changshan?" Liu Qun was a little frustrated.
"Can we save Chang Shan by sending troops?" Li Yue asked.
"Difficult..." Liu Qun was a good man in domestic affairs, but slightly lacking in military strategy.
Li Yue said solemnly: "Murong Chui's 130,000 troops besieged the city for reinforcements. All he wanted was to give up Yecheng's defensive advantage and fight with him in Changshan. The defeat of Emperor Wu Dao should be taken as a warning. War has its own choices and trade-offs. , with our strength, it is impossible to cover everything.”
Changshan is obviously a trap, and Li Yue will not jump into it no matter what.
Even if there is a rescue, Su Yan should first block the Yan army's offensive and drain the Yan army's morale.
Sun Tzu's Art of War says: There is nothing you can do to protect yourself; your army can't attack you; your city can't be attacked; your territory can't be fought; your king's orders can't be resisted.
Changshan is not the key point in this battle at all.
Lu is eloquent.
The loss of Changshan would have limited impact on Yecheng, but if Lukou was lost, the Yan State formed a strategic siege of Yecheng.
No matter how big a battle Murong Chui created in the north, Li Yue kept his eyes fixed on Lukou!
