It can be said that Murong Chui should be the highest-ranking general who died in the hands of Li Xin, and he is also the most famous among those people. If you want to say that Murong Chui is a person, he does have real talent and learning, and if he can be sincerely obedient, it is not a good thing. After all, there are still relatively few talents like him.

But Li Xin didn't regret killing him at all, mainly because he didn't particularly like Murong Chui.

Not to mention anything else, when Murong Chui surrendered to the former Qin in history, Fu Jian could be said to have great trust in him, and the high-ranking officials were in real power. But it was such a reuse, and after the defeat of Fu Jianshui, he quickly rebelled.

Although he was not the first person to rebel against the former Qin, he was at least in the forefront. is the so-called repaying virtue with resentment, and Murong Chui's behavior is exactly like this.

If Fu Jian doesn't trust him at all and is wary of him in everything, then his rebellion is reasonable! But the truth is quite the opposite.

Therefore, such a person, Li Xin does not want to be by his side all the time. Because this is a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised, maybe it will jump up and bite itself at any time.

Again, the reason why Murong Chui in history surrendered to Qianqin was because he was forced by Murong Ping and them in Qianyan to have no choice, and he had to flee in order to save his life.

But now because of the emergence of Li Xin, the whole history has undergone great changes.

At least, so far, he has been particularly valued by Murong Ke. Therefore, under the circumstances at this time, Murong Chui was still very loyal to Yan Guo. From this point of view, it is almost impossible to get him to surrender.

In that case, Li Xin would not bother to spend this time any longer. Give him a good time and save yourself some time.

As the last of the enemy forces were eliminated, the battlefield gradually calmed down. Except for the foot soldiers who stayed to clean up the battlefield, all the remaining cavalry were sent out to pursue those Yan light cavalry.

"As soon as Murong Chui dies, the war between us and the Yan Kingdom north of the Tuoshui River will be completely over. Next, we must rush to the south to cross the water before the Yan army is defenseless. For this reason, we must now act separately! At the moment of the break, Li Xin summoned Peng Lin and the others together and held a brief meeting.

"At present, the number of soldiers and horses north of Tuoshui and south of Xishui has reached about 100,000. With this part of the people, it should not be a problem to continue to go south. Now those Yan troops in the south don't know that Murong Trai has been killed in battle, so it's time for us to go south now! Peng Lin nodded.

"That's right, so everyone has to work harder! It has been nearly two months since the start of the war, and the soldiers below are exhausted, especially the transfer of military supplies, and there are certain difficulties with the elongation of the battle line. This is a big problem for us to continue the offensive in the south. Fortunately, there is a lot of grain in the counties and counties of Youzhou, especially if you have just experienced the summer harvest, it should not be a big problem to get grain on the spot! Li Xin glanced at everyone and said leisurely.

"Your Highness, rest assured, in this battle out of the mountain, the soldiers are full of fighting spirit, and in the face of the big victory in front of them, how can there be a pause!" Shao Zisong hurriedly said.

"Next, what we have to do is to expand the results of the battle, and at the same time, rush to Yecheng as soon as possible to join Liu Xiaohai and them. As long as Yecheng can be captured, then the entire Yan Kingdom will be wiped out by half! Peng Lin, you led 20,000 cavalry from Anping County to the south quickly, and after arriving at the south bank, quickly followed the Xutuoshui to the east, and swept all the Yan troops within a hundred miles of the south bank, clearing the obstacles for the follow-up army to cross the river to the south! ”

"Yes, the last general will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!" Peng Lin said immediately.

"Shao Zisong, you lead an army of 20,000 to rush back to Zhending County, take all the counties near Jingcheng and then defend it. In the following period of time, the grain and grass that have been exported from Taiyuan and other places will be concentrated from Jingcheng. After all, it is closer to the battlefield after that, and there is no need to travel south from the military capital and other places, which is more advantageous for the operation of the army! You have to make sure the area is safe! Li Xin continued.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will swear to protect the smooth flow of grain roads!" Shao Zisong bowed and said.

"Ordered Liao Chuan to lead an army of 30,000 from Zhangwu County to the south, along the coast of the sea all the way to the river. If there is no order for the war in the west, he will leave it alone. What he had to do was to steadily advance to the north bank of the Great River, and when he got there, he would advance westward along the Great River to block the retreat of Murong Ke and the others eastward! ”

"The rest of the soldiers and horses, led by the king himself, will go south along the east bank of Zhangshui and go straight to Yecheng! You must be careful, and do not take the enemy lightly! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it could affect the overall situation! Have you memorized them all? Finally, Li Xin specially exhorted the generals.

"The last general and others should remember the teachings of His Highness!" Everyone hurriedly bowed down.

After everyone's tasks were arranged, everyone quickly went their separate ways.

Shao Zisong will stay here for the time being to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time go west to take Weichang County and other county seats. And Peng Lin had scattered a lot of cavalry before, so he had to send someone to gather these cavalry back at this moment.

However, in order to achieve the goal of a quick victory, Peng Lin will first lead more than 10,000 light cavalry here to the south for the time being, and the subsequent cavalry will slowly rush to the south of the Tuoshui River to join it. After all, Shao Zisong also has thousands of light horsemen under his command, and he can't use it for the time being.

By the time the battle on Li Xin's side ended, the fighting in the counties east of Anping County had gradually come to an end.

With Liao Chuan leading the light cavalry to kill, the Yan army, which had blocked Yao Chang and Shi Yue's southward movement, was quickly defeated by the enemy on the belly and back.

In this way, the Tang army in the north crossed the river in a big way, and then swept towards the surrounding counties.

A day later, Li Xin's military order came, and Liao Chuan was leading the army to sweep the remnants of the Yan army between the counties. Yao Chang, Shi Yue and others divided their troops to take the rest of the county towns between the two rivers.

After receiving the order, Liao Chuan immediately sent people to spread the news of Murong Chui's death in battle to those county towns that were still holding on. After hearing the news, those county towns did not have the courage to defend any longer, and they surrendered one after another.

As a result, in less than two days, the entire north bank of the Tuoshui River was taken by the Tang army.

After that, Liao Chuan gathered Yao Chang and Shi Yue and other generals together and went south from Dongpingshu County in Zhangwu County. According to Li Xin's military order, he went to take all the prefectures and counties within two hundred miles of the sea in the east.

On this route, in addition to the remaining counties of Zhangwu County, there are also some Hejian Kingdom, Bohai Kingdom, Leling County and other places in the south. These places are the real hinterland of the Yan Kingdom, and they have not been plagued by military disasters for many years.

After all, whether it is Jiangzuo in the south, or the former Qin and Tang Dynasty in the west, no matter how big the war was in the past, it has never spread here. But even so, because of the heavy forced labor, the people at this time did not have a good life.

Among the troops, Peng Lin was all light cavalry along the way, so the speed of action was the fastest. Moreover, Anping County is very close to Yutuoshui, so on the day the task was arranged, he led the army from Anping County to cross the river and enter the territory of Changle County.

Changle County was Anping State in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Yan State renamed it Changle County, which spanned both banks of Zhangshui and was located west of the Qinghe River.

If you pass through the county and govern Xindu County, and then go south from between Zhangshui and Qinghe, you will be able to reach Yecheng more than 300 miles away.

In the middle of the journey, except for the city, the avenue is flat and there is not even a river, so with the speed of Peng Lin's cavalry, it only takes one day and one night to kill under Yecheng. Of course, it would be too risky to go south without attacking the city at all.

But Li Xin, who set out with his troops, can greatly alleviate this threat. Because any Yan army that dared to go out of the city and sneak attack Peng Lin from behind would inevitably face the blow of Li Xin, who then went south.

Therefore, the order of departure from one after the other actually has a certain arrangement and intention to a large extent. And after the combing of the two armies, it is presumably that the road to the south will become much smoother.

In addition, Shao Zisong's war in the area of Zhending County will be planned to Liu Xiaohai in the south. Because Zhao County and Guangping County south of Changshan County, after being attacked by him, they must no longer be distracted to attack Liu Xiaohai.

And without a strong threat from the north, Liu Xiaohai will become more focused on the battle in Yecheng, and the forces in his hands can be used as much as possible.

The four-way army went south together, except for Shao Zisong who wanted to defend Jingcheng and couldn't leave the area of Zhending County too far, the remaining three-way soldiers and horses, their goals were all aimed at Yecheng and headed towards the center of the Yan Imperial Court.

If you can really enter Yecheng and besiege it from all sides, then none of the clans of the Yan Kingdom will be able to escape. Once Murong Wei, Murong Ke and others are captured in one fell swoop, it will also mean that the entire Yan Kingdom will be destroyed.

On the first day of the seventh month, on this day, all the Tang troops on the north bank of the river crossed the water and went all the way to the south.

At this time, the news of Murong Chui's death had spread to all the surrounding counties, and after hearing the news, many Yan troops either abandoned the city and fled, or directly opened the city and surrendered.

The second line of defense, which Murong Chui had placed high hopes on, was actually not able to play a role at all.

Even if there were some county towns on the south bank of the Tuoshui River, and the Yan army was determined to resist the Tang army's southward advance, but under the subsequent large-scale attack of the Tang army, it was only a small trouble.
