Yanzhou Chenliu County, Huangfu Zhen led the army to fight with Zhao Ji and Chen Kang here several times in a row, since the beginning on the shore of Jishui, to now has been killed and retreated to the territory of Puyang County. Along the way, it has been more than 200 miles back.

Under the attack of Zhao Ji and Chen Kang on the north and south lines, Huangfu Zhen's troops lost their troops. The nearly 100,000 troops originally arranged in Chenliu County to defend the Tang Dynasty were only about 50,000 at this time, nearly half of the soldiers and horses were lost.

Now, Huangfu Zhen is based on the Yellow River in the north, Juyeze in the south, and Gaopingguo in the south of Junoze, and the general will block the attack of Zhao Ji and others.

And Zhao Ji and Chen Kang, who were on the opposite side, were blocked, not because they couldn't capture these places, but because the battle situation at this time had begun to change dramatically.

One of them is the détente in the north, which means that he will soon be supported. The second is that the Huanwen soldiers and horses who were originally attacking the Yan army in the south suddenly became sluggish at this time, and the battles with the Yan army on all fronts seemed to be a little stagnant.

Such a phenomenon made Zhao Ji wary all of a sudden, especially when Li Xin had already sent someone to warn him.

As a result, he had to use part of his forces to defend against Jiangzuo, which led to the lack of troops to attack Huangfu's real soldiers and horses.

At this time, Jiangzuo's soldiers and horses, although they couldn't see any big tendencies, and there were constant small battles with the Yan army, but there were no big battles like before. This is a very bad signal, and it is definitely not a good thing for Tang Jun.

When Zhao Ji and Chen Kang attacked Huangfu Zhen's department, they sent people north to report the matter to Li Xin, and on the other hand, they were actively preparing for the final decisive battle with Huangfu Zhen. After all, the Yan army is the most powerful army in Yanzhou, and at this time, as long as he destroys Huangfu Zhen and them in one fell swoop, the war in Yanzhou will come to an end.

The most important thing is that if you can quickly eliminate them, you will be able to lead your army all the way east and directly enter the territory of Qingzhou. In this way, the small court of Yan State, which had just fled to Guanggu not long ago, would inevitably be completely destroyed.

And this time, they had no chance to escape again, after all, even if they surrendered to Jiangzuo, the Yan Kingdom would inevitably not exist.

Only two days later, Li Xin sent people to deliver orders, one of which mentioned that Liu Xiaohai would go south to support. Moreover, he deliberately handed over the responsibility of defending Jiang Zuo to Zhao Ji.

In this way, the war of Huangfu Zhen's department will basically be handed over to Liu Xiaohai to be responsible.

And Zhao Ji is specifically responsible for guarding against the possible attack of Huan Wen, after all, there are many places at the junction of the two countries at this time, especially in Xingyang and Henan counties, if someone is in charge of this matter, it is much easier to deal with.

Yanzhou County governs Juancheng County, which is temporarily the center of Huangfu Zhen, not far from Puyang County, and very close to Juyeze in the south, which is considered to be in an intermediate position.

On top of that, it is located at the narrowest point between the Yellow River and Juyeze, and it is the only way to enter Qingzhou from the north of Jishui to the east without passing the Yellow River.

The successive defeats have made Huang Fuzhen feel very bad these days, especially when bad news keeps coming from the north, which makes him even more worried.

Since the start of the war, he hadn't slept well for more than ten days, and he was basically either fighting or thinking about how to fight.

The only good news is that Murong Wei and the others finally retreated to Guanggu City, and Yan Guozuo was preserved. As long as the temple is still there, the emperor is still there, even if the territory is a little smaller, this title will still be there, at least the Yan Kingdom has not been destroyed.

However, when he thought that the Tang army was now crisscrossing the Central Plains, attacking cities and plundering land, and soon, the entire Central Plains would become the land of the Tang Dynasty, Huangfu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

"Unexpectedly, the situation has reached this point in the blink of an eye! Alas! Looking at the stars outside, Huangfu really said to himself.

"Yes! Who would have thought that the dignified Yan would fall apart in the blink of an eye! When I went south, Dazai and King Wu were still working hard to revitalize Dayan. Who would have thought that in just a few months, it would be forced to this point! Yue Wan also looked complicated on the side and said.

Yuewan has been staying with Huangfu Zhen since she went south, and she thought that she would be able to return to Yecheng in a few months at most. What I didn't expect was that after this came out, I couldn't go back.

Now, if you want to recover your life, you can only go to Guanggu City.

"No one would have imagined that the Tang Army would be so powerful, especially that Li Xin, who would actually make such a determination to destroy our Yan Kingdom at this time! King Wu unfortunately died at his hands, but fortunately, Dazai-sama was able to retreat to Guanggu smoothly. Otherwise, Dayan will lose two generals and ministers in a row, and I really don't know how it will continue in the future! Huangfu really sighed.

"The situation is now very unfavorable for us, and according to the news of the spies, the war in the north may be over in the next few days. Moreover, Liu Xiaohai, who originally took Yecheng, seems to have been ordered by Li Xin to cross the river to the south, and his target is probably us! Originally, we were already powerless to resist Zhao Ji and Chen Kang's army, and if there was another Liu Xiaohai at this time, I was afraid that there would be no reason to win, so we should have made a decision as soon as possible! After thinking for a moment, Yue Wan said to him.

"You're right, that's what I'm worried about right now! However, Liu Xiaohai's southward journey to deal with us is true, but it is also impossible that he is completely here for us. After all, with the soldiers and horses in Zhao Ji's hands now, it is not difficult to defeat us, and there is no need to send a large army to come at all. I'm afraid, they're a little worried about Huan Wen's side now! Speaking of this, I don't know what decision Huan Wen's side will make now, if he and Li Xin attack my Qingzhou together, I'm afraid that the country will be ruined and the family will be ruined at hand! The emperor was really worried.

And when they were talking about the situation on Huan Wen's side, Huan Wen, who was in Xiapi County at this time, was also receiving Liang Chen, the envoy sent by Murong Ke to serve the Yellow Gate.

Liang Chen had actually been there for several days, but in the past few days, although he had repeatedly asked to see him, he had never been received by Huan Wen.

The main reason is because Huan Wen knows what he wants to do, but he doesn't want to make peace with Yan Guo so quickly. He wanted to wait until he made some progress and took Donghai County before negotiating peace.

The most important thing is that he wants to see the progress of the battle situation in the north again, and after being able to force the Yan Kingdom to a dead end, if he comes to negotiate peace, it should be more beneficial to him. This was the most beneficial conclusion he came to after consulting with a group of advisers.

Originally, according to the discussion of these people, the Yan army should be able to block the Tang army north of Yecheng. After all, Huan Wen was very jealous of Murong Ke. He felt that if Murong Ke was in charge there, even if Li Xin personally led the army south, it should not be of much benefit.

It's great, it may be that the Tang army took the places west of the Qinghe River, north of Bohai County and Wei County, and east of the Qinghe, south of Wei County, north of Qishuiguan and other places, should still be in the hands of Yan State.

Even when the news came out that Yan was going to move its capital, Huan Wen felt that it should not be so easy for the Tang army to approach the north bank of the Yellow River. Who would have thought that in just a few days, the war would take a sharp turn!

As a result, he now has to meet with Liang Chen to discuss the matter of peace. After all, if Li Xin is allowed to go south again, I am afraid that he will meet with him soon.

"As the so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold, now the Tang Dynasty is strong, and Li Xin's heart to annex the world is well known! If my Dayan is destroyed by it, then it will have all the land north and south of the Great River, and when the time comes, it will be extremely powerful with its wealth related to the Central and Central Plains, and the benefits of green and fish salt. If this is the case, then it will definitely covet Jiangzuo and watch Jiankang, if it goes south to attack Jin, who can stop it? Therefore, Dazai-sama ordered the officials to come, just for the sake of peace! Liang Chen didn't talk nonsense after seeing Huan Wen, in fact, time didn't allow it, and said bluntly.

"There was no war between Yan and Jin before, if it weren't for Murong Xuangong's sudden attack and going south to seize my county, why would there be today? Now that Donghai County and other places are still occupied by you, but at this time you want to negotiate peace with this father, how do you want this prince to explain to those soldiers who died in battle, and the innocent people who died in your hands? If you want to negotiate peace, you must retreat to the place before the war, and this duke can end the war regardless of the past suspicions! Huan Wen looked at him for a while, and then said slowly.

If it was to retreat to the place before the war, it would mean that Fu Yan, Yue Ming and others had to retreat north from the current Donghai County to Rencheng, Lu County, and Dongguan first. In this way, it would be equivalent to them retreating nearly two hundred miles at once.

The most important point is that this line is not particularly far from Guanggu City in the north. This means that Huan Wen's soldiers will be directed at Guanggu City and become a knife hanging above Yan Guo's head!

With such a condition, Yan Guo naturally would not agree to it. After all, Murong Ke ignored everyone's opposition and went south to wage war against Jiangzuo, wasn't it just to keep Guanggu City away from the front line and open up a stable and safe environment as a new capital.

At the beginning, Murong Ke had already thought that Huan Wen would make this request, so he especially explained it to Liang Chen.

"Although Da Sima's words are reasonable, it is difficult for my Dayan to agree to this matter! After all, Qingzhou is narrow and the people are weak, if it retreats north, how can Yan survive? Da Sima is not helping me Da Yan, but wants to destroy my Da Yan! When this time of crisis, Da Sima mentions this condition, and there is a suspicion of taking advantage of the fire to rob! Liang Chen shook his head and said in a deep voice.
