204 decisive battle in Yanzhou
Because the attack on Dingzhou caused the instability of the military spirit within the Mo family's army, Prime Minister Mo Ye stopped attacking Dingzhou, led the army to retreat south, and planned to prepare to capture Yanzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xianglan, who was guarding Dingzhou, handed over the task of guarding Dingzhou to Lin Jun, the marshal of the Northern Courtyard, and Yang Wuwei, the original guard general of Dingzhou, and she was ready to lead the 30,000 Flying Eagle Army to follow the Mo family army led by Prime Minister Mo Ye, and the camera moved.
Xianglan also knew that Han Jiangxue had led the Liao army to capture Fengting City, and now Han Jiangxue's next goal must be to capture Yanzhou City. Xianglan led the Flying Eagle Army to follow behind Mo Ye's army, and she also wanted to find an opportunity to help Han Jiangxue.
After all, now Han Jiangxue is facing the problem of how to eliminate, it is the rebels of the Xiliang Army and Liang Wangye who occupy Yanzhou City, and the army of Prime Minister Mo Ye near Yanzhou City, so it is not easy for Han Jiangxue to eliminate all the forces near Yanzhou with his Liao army strength in Fengting City. The best plan is to wait for the Mo family army led by Prime Minister Mo Ye to fight to the death with the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuo Xiankuan, and the Western Liang army, and then send troops to capture Yanzhou after both are defeated.
Of course, Prime Minister Mo Ye also knew that he led the Mo family army to capture Yanzhou, and he fought with the Xiliang army to defeat both sides, which would benefit the Hanjiang Xue fisherman in Fengting City, but he had no other choice. Because Prime Minister Mo Ye wants to establish himself as a king, he must have his own foothold.
Prime Minister Mo Ye originally chose nothing more than to capture Dingzhou or Yanzhou? as a place for yourself; It's just that when Prime Minister Mo Ye led the Mo family army to attack Dingzhou, he felt that the army's morale was unstable, and Yanzhou was larger than Dingzhou, and the population was larger than Dingzhou, and Yanzhou was much richer than Dingzhou. Besides, Dingzhou is too close to the core forces of the Liao State and is not a good place to choose for self-reliance, so in desperation, Prime Minister Mo Ye can only lead the Mo family army to capture Yanzhou.
According to Prime Minister Mo Ye's idea, as long as he captures Yanzhou, he can establish himself as the king in Yanzhou. However, Prime Minister Mo Ye was not too sure about the Western Liang Army, which defeated the Western Liang Kingdom, so he wanted to take advantage of the cold river snow in Fengting City.
Prime Minister Mo Yuan thought that he had offended the Empress Dowager Xiao by rebelling, which was of course a capital crime, but now that the Liao army was in a difficult situation, he went to contact Han Jiangxue and asked Han Jiangxue to attack Yanzhou City in the north and south, and I believe that Han Jiangxue would also be willing.
The reason is very simple, for Han Jiangxue, whether it is the Xiliang Army of the Western Liang Kingdom or the Mo Family Army led by Mo Ye, she wants to eliminate it, but it is not easy to eliminate such two powerful opponents in one go, so according to Han Jiangxue's idea, it is to eliminate them one by one.
Now Prime Minister Mo Ye sent someone to contact Han Jiangxue and asked Han Jiangxue to attack Yanzhou together, I believe that Han Jiangxue must be willing, of course, Prime Minister Mo Ye also knows that after Han Jiangxue destroys the Xiliang Army, the next goal is to eliminate himself. Similarly, after Prime Minister Mo Ye led the Mo family army to defeat the Xiliang army, the next step was to defeat the Liao army led by Han Jiangxue, so their cooperation was temporary.
Of course, Prime Minister Mo Ye can also choose to cooperate with the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuankuan, to destroy the Liao army led by Han Jiangxue first, but Mo Ye's enemy Liang Wangye has already taken refuge in the prince Tuankuan of the Western Liang Kingdom, so now Prime Minister Mo Ye is embarrassed to take refuge in the prince Tuankuan of the Western Liang Kingdom.
Of course, the most important thing is that the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuankuan, led the Xiliang army in the middle, the so-called principle of distant friendship and close attack, so Prime Minister Mo Ye felt that temporary cooperation with Han Jiangxue was a good choice to open his own predicament.
After all, according to Prime Minister Mo Ye's thoughts, there may not be no contradictions between Han Jiangxue and Empress Dowager Xiao, maybe after she takes refuge in Han Jiangxue, Empress Dowager Xiao will wonder if Han Jiangxue has the ambition to rebel, and besides, Han Jiangxue's skills are high, and it is impossible for Empress Dowager Xiao to rest assured that she has military power, and Empress Dowager Xiao will definitely find a way to deal with Han Jiangxue at that time.
If you don't get Han Jiangxue, you may rebel yourself, so she temporarily took refuge in Han Jiangxue, believing that Han Jiangxue would protect herself. For Mo Ye, his rebellion was a rebellion against the Empress Dowager Xiao, not a rebellion against Han Jiangxue, and Mo Ye had a good private relationship with Han Jiangxue in the past, so Mo Ye believed that Han Jiangxue was willing to let himself go at least temporarily for his own interests.
Prime Minister Mo Ye sent someone to Fengting City to contact Han Jiangxue, which means that he is now willing to change his evil and return to the right, recognize the original mistake, and now he is willing to lead the Mo family army to attack Yanzhou City from the north, hoping that Han Jiangxue will lead the Liao army to cooperate from the south and attack Yanzhou City from the north and south. In addition, after capturing Yanzhou City, Mo Ye was willing to hand over Yanzhou City to Han Jiangxue, and he himself led the Mo family army to defend Fengting City for the Liao State. According to Mo Ye's thoughts, he wanted to find a foothold in Fengting City.
Prime Minister Mo Ye's envoy arrived at Fengting City and conveyed Prime Minister Mo Ye's meaning to Han Jiangxue, Han Jiangxue heard that he couldn't agree for the time being, and he wanted to discuss with the emperor and let Mo Ye's envoy wait a little.
Han Jiangxue saw the little emperor, Mei Shuang, and Princess Xiao Lin, and they told Prime Minister Mo Ye to send an envoy to ask for a north and south attack on Yanzhou. The little emperor and Princess Xiao Lin were very angry at Prime Minister Mo Ye for establishing himself as king at a critical moment and attempting to rebel, but now is not the time to punish Prime Minister Mo Ye, so the little emperor means that Han Jiangxue has full authority to deal with it.
Han Jiangxue came out and told Mo Ye's envoy: "The emperor is very pleased that Prime Minister Mo Ye has lost his way and is willing to make meritorious contributions, and now since Prime Minister Mo Cheng wants to invite, he will soon personally lead the army north to capture Yanzhou City, and he is willing to capture Yanzhou City with Prime Minister Mo Cheng."
Mo Ye's envoy felt a lot more relieved when he heard that Queen Han still called Mo Ye the prime minister, and then Han Jiangxue sent someone to entertain Mo Ye's envoy, because the task was in the body, Mo Ye's envoy hurriedly ate a meal, and rushed to restore his life.
Prime Minister Mo Ye received the return of the envoy and learned that Han Jiangxue was willing to cooperate with him to attack Yanzhou, and Han Jiangxue still called himself Prime Minister in front of his envoy, which made Mo Ye feel a little more comforted, he knew that now Han Jiangxue needed to attack Yanzhou City together. He also needs to resolve this dilemma of being attacked by the enemy, so he temporarily decided to take refuge in Hanjiangxue, and find another way out in the future.
Just when Mo Ye sent someone to contact Han Jiangxue, the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuankuan, had already decided to ambush Mo Ye's vanguard troops halfway. Tuo Xian Kuan sent 30,000 Xiliang troops and Liang Wangye to take refuge in the 20,000 Liao army to guard Yanzhou City, and he himself led 60,000 Xiliang troops and Liang Wangye's 30,000 rebels to meet the vanguard led by Mo Jian.
The tactic of the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuankuan, was an ambush, so when he sent 20,000 Western Liang troops to meet the vanguard troops led by Mo Jian, he asked these Western Liang troops to pretend defeat and retreat while fighting.
Mo Jian lost Yanzhou City because of lust, and was angrily scolded by his brother Mo Ye, and now he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and immediately led 30,000 Mo family troops to pursue.
Mo Jian thought that his eldest brother led the main force of the Mo family army behind, so he was not afraid of the ambush of the Zhongxi Liang army. Besides, according to Mo Ye's tactical arrangement, if the Western Liang Army surrounded Mo Jian and led the vanguard troops, then the main force of the Mo Family Army led by him took the opportunity to encircle and encircle Tuo Xiankuan to lead the Western Liang Army. Strive to eliminate the main force of the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop. (To be continued.) )
