Murong Lan's eyes widened: "What do you mean by this, Liu Yu, why can't Yecheng be captured?" Now the eldest brother has more than 200,000 troops, almost the entire territory of Hebei has fallen to us, Fu Pi has even broken the way back to Guanzhong, and can only be trapped in the lonely city, and Yecheng is a big city, it is not easy to defend, why can't we attack it? ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "Yecheng is an important town in the eastern part of the country, since the establishment of Cao Cao, as the national capital, has been known for its military fortresses, and can even be said to be the first fortress in the Kanto region in addition to Luoyang, although the city is large, but the inner city and the middle city are completely built according to the few and fine military fortresses, the grain is more than the moat and the deep pool is high, when the Xie family recaptured the jade seal of the country, once sent a strong man into the city to see, after returning to draw the Yecheng city defense map at that time, I have seen the city defense map, it can be said that compared to any city in the Great Jin Dynasty, it is stronger. ”

Murong Lan sneered: "Our Dayan used to live in the eastern part of the country, and the country was founded for many years, so we naturally know that the inner city of Yecheng is strong, but this is only limited to the inner city, the outer city is too big to defend, and it is impossible for everyone to withdraw into the inner city." ”

Liu Yu laughed: "Even the entire Hebei outside has been lost, just an outer city, what can't you give up?" Yecheng now has hundreds of thousands of people of all ethnic groups, the Han people account for the majority, and the Di people have more than 100,000 people, if these Di people all withdraw into the inner city, it can be completely accommodated, and the Di people and Xianbei people are now the number one mortal enemy, the national enemy hate, knowing that in case the city is broken, no one can be spared, so it is bound to defend desperately. ”

Sweat began to spread on Murong Lan's forehead: "But, but the eldest brother has so many soldiers and horses, how can he not capture a small Yecheng?" ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "Although your eldest brother's troops seem to be many, they are mostly rabble, and their equipment and training are insufficient. It is impossible for a person like Zhai Bin to be content with others, and he may defect at any time. As far as I know, you Xianbei people are very strong in the field, and you are invincible in armor and cavalry, but siege has always been a big problem. At that time, Shandong's Later Zhao rebel general Duan Gong once defended the fortified city Guanggu, and Murong Ke, who was known as the world's famous general, and even used troops above your eldest brother, could not be attacked for a long time, and finally could only be besieged for a long time, it can be seen that your siege tactics are not what you are good at, the inner city of Yecheng is stronger than Guanggu, and it is guarded by all of you, I think, you are not so easy to take! ”

Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "However, if more than 100,000 people all withdraw into the inner city, plus tens of thousands of defenders, the consumption of this grain is a big problem, I don't believe that their grain and grass can support it for a year or two!" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Then do you think that these places in Hebei will stand on your eldest brother's side with all their hearts?" ”

Murong Lan said disapprehantly: "What's wrong with this? Our Dayan has been in the Kanto region for many years, and it is powerful in the world, and now that the country has been restored, the Quartet has responded, do these people still dare to rebel? ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "In the land of Hebei, the people are fierce, and it has always been difficult to suppress by force. They would abandon a large amount of farmland on the plains, go to the mountains, and build forts to cultivate fields, which is their way of survival, and has been the case since the Yongjia Rebellion. ”

Murong Lan said with a smile: "You're right, but these dock castle masters are facing our Dayan, when Dayan entered the customs and crusaded against Ran Min, a self-reliant traitor, they responded to our Dayan. Offering food to Nadine, do everything. ”

Liu Yu sneered: "Really? Then how do you explain that when the Qin State destroyed your Great Yan, it was the same Haoqiang of these dock forts, who also offered food to Nadine and fell to the Qin army? ”

Murong Lan was speechless for a while, and after a while, she hooked the corners of her mouth: "This, this is mainly because Murong Wei, Murong commented that they are chaotic and the people are not happy, so the people are angry for a while, and they fall to the Qin State, plus Wang Meng's old thief will bewitch people's hearts, and the people have fallen for him for a while, and now they regret it, so they will be anyway." ”

Liu Yu laughed and shook his head: "Murong Lan, is it interesting to lie to yourself like this?" If you don't even believe it, you can't earn face by saying it. In fact, you know best that the people under Ran Min's rule turned to you one after another, not because they liked you so much, but because Ran Min made the Central Plains unable to survive regardless of the Han and Hu people, and there were no cultivators, no matter who they were at this time, the people would support them. ”

"As for the battle of Qin and Yan, the people fell to the Qin State, because your Yan State was under the rule at that time, the laws and regulations were harsh, and the people were miserable, while the Qin State was in good order under the rule of Wang Meng, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Coupled with your defeat in the decisive battle, at this time, everyone knew that the destruction of the Yan State could no longer be stopped, so naturally they all fell to the Qin State. ”

However, Fu Jian has governed the country for many years, and has widely applied benevolence and righteousness, even if there is a great defeat in the water, but in addition to the Xianbei and Qiang people, most of the Han people in the world are oriented to Fu Jian. It's just that there was a great chaos in the north, and many county guards in various parts of the Qin State either died or fled, and there was a power vacuum in the local area, and no one organized it, so the Han people could only protect themselves and wait and see the situation under the leadership of local heroes. Now your eldest brother has brought more than 200,000 people, just Xianbei, Ding Ling, these alien Hu people, there are not many Han people, although the people in Hebei did not clearly help the Qin State, but they did not stand on your side, at most they just expressed their submission in name, as for whether they are really willing to serve your Yan State, it depends on the result of the battle of Yecheng. ”

Murong Lan was speechless for a long time before she sighed: "So? Only by taking Yecheng can Hebei be truly submissive to my Dayan? ”

Liu Yu said coldly: "It can be understood like this. But even if Yecheng is taken, you may not be able to control the countryside of Hebei, Wubao. When Ran Min built Wei, there was also Yecheng, but the civil dock forts in various places were completely out of his control. After all, the Han people are farming, the Hu people are nomalist, the habits and ways of life are different, and now there is an essential difference, the Hu people in the north are still mostly nomadic for a living, do not practice farming, while the Han people adhere to the tradition of farming for thousands of years. Fu Jian is still a benevolent and righteous king, and he has not felt sorry for the Han people, which is much more popular than your Yan country. ”

Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "That's just fake benevolence and false righteousness, if it's really Renjun, how can he raise a million army to march south?" This war has separated many wives, even so many slaves you have auctioned these days, and most of them are Han people from the north. Will their families and children be grateful to Fu Jian? ”
