Chapter 243: The mountains and rivers of Yan Kingdom are all returned to Zhao
Murong Licheng was certainly not a demon who loved to kill. Those who die at his hands deserve to die in his eyes. There is not so much right and wrong in this world. If the husband can't be happy with revenge, then no matter how hard he puts in, it will be meaningless.
In this familiar land, when he commanded the elite of ten thousand horsemen to sweep through with a devastating force, trampling all those who dared to resist into powder, there was no smugness in his heart, only coldness.
If he had a choice, he didn't want to return to the Yan Kingdom in this way. But since God had made such an arrangement, he did not hesitate to give all cruel orders.
No matter on any battlefield, there can be no mercy. This is the most basic quality of being a general. Putting on armor and riding a war horse, his mission is to fight, and the goal is only victory.
The only thing a young man with a blood feud on his back may be able to do is to order his subordinates not to harm ordinary people as much as possible. Although it was inevitable at times, he did his best. War cannot avoid casualties, and the only way to reduce tragedy is to end it in the simplest and quickest way.
Therefore, the Tiger Ben Army, under the personal leadership of Murong Licheng, exerted their strongest combat effectiveness. Until they entered Jicheng, no Yan army could stop them by half a step.
Such an iron-blooded cavalry is undoubtedly daunting. When they entered the royal city with blood on their armor and the posture of victors, almost all of them hung their heads and did not dare to look up.
Yan Wang Dan and his royal cronies fled in a hurry. There were many noble ministers who remained in the royal city. Almost unexpectedly, they were forced to become captives of the conquerors. The strength of the Zhao army was beyond their imagination, and the vulnerability of the Yan army made them feel even more frustrated. Now that even Yan Wang Dan has fled, no one can predict the fate he will face next.
However, there are still many people who are unwilling to accept failure. A terrible situation like the one in which even the king has been conquered is considered very serious. But in the past, it was not unheard of similar incidents. Court rebellions, power changes, and turmoil in Jicheng are often the time to establish special feats.
Since Yan Wang Dan has fled, many nobles of Yan Kingdom who are unwilling to fail have begun to move, wanting to take advantage of the chaos in the royal city to re-establish a king and lead them to complete an impossible counterattack!
Such an idea seems crazy, but in the eyes of these adventurous Yan nobles, it is not impossible. The so-called wealth is in danger! If they can turn the tide and defeat the Zhao army at this time, then there is no doubt that this country, which has lost control, will be in their hands from now on.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is always reserved for the ambitious. Soon, just one day after the Tiger Ben Army entered Jicheng, the nobles of the Yan Kingdom who stayed in the city began to plan secretly. Because they suddenly found that this Zhao army, which looked very powerful, didn't seem to know how to control the royal city that had been captured.
No wonder they have such delusions. According to the previous understanding, the important cities of the enemy country that were finally occupied should of course be quickly controlled by strong means. The four gates were heavily guarded, entry and exit were strictly forbidden, and all streets were closed to traffic, and then the remnants of the enemy army were cleared from house to house, and the remnants of the enemy army were brutally slaughtered and suppressed...... These measures are the least that needs to be done.
However, apart from temporarily sealing off the palace, these Zhao people didn't do much else. Their army was even outside the city, but there were more than 2,000 horses stationed in the royal city, and there were only a few guards at the gates. It can be said that it is extremely lax.
Such a discovery made the nobles of Yan Kingdom overjoyed. That same night, they quickly banded together and began to plan. A total of twenty or thirty nobles of varying strength, combined with their own forces, are also a force to be reckoned with. Although their combat effectiveness and equipment may not be as good as the regular army of the Yan Kingdom, there is still a great hope that they will be able to succeed if they suddenly attack in the city. At the very least, it was a great opportunity for the ambitious aristocrats.
Although Zhao Guolai's general was said to be very powerful, he only led 2,000 people to dare to enter the dangerous city, and he lived in it defenselessly, if he was not too arrogant, then he was too stupid and killed himself.
The nobles of the Yan Kingdom who were in high spirits had gathered thousands of people in total. If you add some Yan troops who are secretly left in the city, then it is more than enough to deal with two thousand Zhao troops!
Soldiers are fast and cannot delay fighters. That night, they had a plan of action. Their goal was very clear, after the third watch, they raised an army and went straight to the palace, first killing all the Zhao troops and their generals who entered the city. Then hold on to the four cities and mobilize the people of the whole city to resist to the death. The Zhao army outside the city without the command of the general is bound to cause chaos. Wouldn't it be so easy to conquer this royal city again?
What's more, they had already heard that Yan Wang Dan had already sent envoys to the grassland to ask for help from the Hu people. As long as they hold on for a period of time, the Hu people will be killed by iron cavalry, and the Zhao army will be defeated without attacking. And when that time comes, this will be their world.
As for what happened after the repulsion of the Zhao army, it can be discussed in the long term in the future. Although the Hu people were brutal, all they wanted was possessions, and they had no interest in land. As long as they try to satisfy themselves in this regard, they will naturally retreat to the grassland immediately.
That Yan Wang Dan ran away, so he didn't have to come back. Then choose a prince from the royal family. It is a good opportunity to take this opportunity to carry out a redistribution of power. And these people will be pivotal figures in the future Yan Dynasty's court.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good time to kill. At the appointed time, the rebels suddenly broke out and came to the palace from several different directions in the city.
It's just that what surprised them was that when the aggressive team entered the palace, they didn't encounter any resistance at all, and they didn't find the shadow of the Zhao people. The huge Yanwang Palace was empty and looked cold.
During the day, it was clear that Zhao Jun had entered here, why didn't he see anyone? Just when the nobles of the Yan Kingdom led by them were in doubt, there was a sudden wind and thunder on the empty streets of Wangcheng, and the cavalry of the Zhao army swept over.
That night, the torches all over the city converged into countless fire dragons and surrounded the Yanwang Palace. The people of Yan Kingdom in the city were hiding in their homes in fear, no one dared to take a step, and no one knew what was going on. Perhaps, the only thing they could see was a fire that lit up half of the sky.
And it was only after dawn that some of the people who cautiously poked their heads out of the door to check on the house were shocked to find that the glorious palace had been burned down.
Above the ruins, there was a misty green smoke, ruins and broken walls, all turned into dust. Murong Licheng, who was riding a horse in the square in front of the palace, looked at everything in front of him indifferently, with no sadness or joy on his face. The morning breeze whipped the cloak behind his back, and the energetic soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were regrouping under his banner.
"General Qiyu! All the rebels have been annihilated, and none of them have escaped the net! ”
"Excellent! Deliver orders to reassure the people. This is a rebellion by the nobles of the Yan Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with other people, so they don't have to panic ....... ”
Murong left the city and ordered lightly, and the general who was in charge of this matter was ordered to go. He took another look at the palace that had been burned to the ground, and remembered that in his childhood memories, he had also entered this palace with the elders of the clan and participated in the royal feast. However, who would have imagined that ten years later, this palace, which marked this important northern prince, would be burned by his own hands!
The rebels have been buried in the fire. Those who wanted to get the royal power eventually followed the king. Although there were still many enemies who participated in the slaughter of the Murong family, Murong was not in a hurry to leave the city. The green mountains are not old, and the coming days are long. He still has time, and he won't let go of any of them after all!
"Pass me the order! Order Captain Wu Sheng to lead the 5,000 Tiger Ben Army to defend Jicheng, there must be no loss! The others immediately followed me out of the city to aid General Li in his fight against Hu Qi. ”
Murong left the city casually, and everyone listened to the order. The army split in two, and the five thousand Tiger Ben army followed his horses and continued to set foot on a new battlefield.
That is, from now on, in the entire land of Yan, hearing the reputation of this General Murong, everyone is terrified. He never disdained to deal with the aftermath with some long-winded means. The palace of King Yan, which was destroyed overnight, is a monument engraved with his prestige. And the thousands of bones buried in the ruins, no matter how angry and unwilling they were when they died, they all became lonely ghosts after all, and it was difficult to transcend life.
And Murong Licheng, who galloped on the vast land, had already left all this behind. The next new enemy he will face is Hu Qi from the north. Even if he didn't have to exchange messages in advance, his goal was the same as Li Mu. From now on, within the reach of Zhao's forces, any invading Hu people will be dead or alive. If you come, you will never have your life back!
The wind suddenly rose, and the murderous aura cracked the clouds. In the autumn and October of that year, the Zhao army gathered at a hundred miles northwest of Jicheng, and Zhao's famous generals Li Mu and Murong left the city to join hands to attack Hu Cai. Where there are three battles, every battle is won. Within ten days, nearly 40,000 people of the Huyalu tribe were wiped out...... On the north side of the nameless mountain, there is a river of blood and a mountain of bones. After this battle, the Hu people looked south, and they were all awe-inspiring. And seven or eight out of ten of the mountains and rivers of Yan Country belong to the territory of Zhao!
