"Yan Guo dared to attack my county, it was obvious that he was bullying me Jiangzuo, and he regarded his father as nothing! Yu Shiyan was also incompetent, and in a short period of time, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, and he fled back to Xiapi alone! So much so that Yuan Zhen's flanks were exposed to the Yan army, so that Suiyang was attacked on three sides, and I don't know how long it could be supported! After Huan Wen learned the battle report, he was furious and scolded in front of everyone. Originally, he was already afraid of the Yu clan as a descendant, the lintel was bright, and his strength had risen greatly. is worried that there is no chance to weaken the other party's power, at this time Yu Xi himself is not angry, of course Huan Wen has to take the opportunity to step on a few feet to be happy.

"Da Sima is angry, the war is so far, it's useless to talk about it anymore. The most important thing now is to send troops to rescue them as soon as possible. If not, I am afraid that Liangjun, Pengcheng and other places will also be unsafe. At that time, the Yan army will be able to go south to Huaishui and threaten Jiankang! Seeing this, Xi Chao hurriedly persuaded him.

"Exactly! The only way to do this is to think of a way to break the enemy as soon as possible! The others chimed in.

"The Yan army suddenly attacked south, and my father really couldn't figure out the mystery. With Murong Xuangong's ability, it is impossible not to know that this is not beneficial to his Yan Kingdom! After Huan Wen pondered for a while, he said something that everyone didn't understand.

"Although I don't know why Murong Ke did this, but judging from his personality, if this matter is not beneficial to Yan State, he should not do it. It's just that we don't see the key to this. Thinking about it left and right, the only one who poses the greatest threat to Yan now is Datang. But Datang has not mobilized troops against Yan in the past two years, and Yan has no urgent crisis, Murong Ke's move should be taking precautions! After thinking for a while, Xi Chao replied.

"This makes sense! The other party is going south at this time, perhaps to expand the territory, or simply to say that it is ready to solve our threat to the Yan Kingdom first, so that we can deal with the Tang Dynasty with all our might! After all, judging from the previous situation, our border with Tang Jun Chen Bing is very stressful for Yan Guo. When Xie An heard this, he took over the conversation and said.

"Yes, An Shi's words have solved the doubts in my father's heart! Although Li Xin has been at peace with Yan for the past two years, his intention to destroy Yan and annex the Central Plains is a well-known thing. Murong Ke is absolutely very clear about this, it's just a matter of time. If we can force us back before the Tang Dynasty attacks, so that we are unable to attack the Yan Kingdom with the Tang army, they will be able to deal with Li Xin's threat with all their might. In that case, Yan Guo's chances of winning are still very great! After hearing this analysis, Huan Wen couldn't help but nod.

Speaking of which, basically everyone understands. Everyone instinctively thought that this should be Murong Ke's idea, after all, this seemed to be the guess that was most consistent with the facts.

"No matter what Murong Ke has in mind, we can't let it succeed. Otherwise, if the Tang Yan War breaks out in the future, we may not be affected, not to mention, and we won't even be able to get any benefits! The chief bookkeeper Wang Xun said at this time.

"Tang Yan fights, my father doesn't want to get involved, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is undoubtedly the best way for us. But in order to do this, you must first keep the place in front of you, and you must not let the Yan army advance the troops to the north bank of Huaishui! Huan Wen said.

"Does Da Sima have a plan in mind?" Changshi Wang Tanzhi asked.

"Immediately order Huan Chong to lead an army of 30,000 to the north to support Xingyang and Liang County! Ordered Jingling Taishou Deng Yao to lead the boat division to the north, support Xiapi and Pengcheng, and his father-in-law led an army of 50,000 to garrison Shouchun and go to Qian County! In addition, Jingyu went to Chang'an again to show the good intentions of the Gongmeng, and asked the Tang army to also send troops to attack Yan. In this way, it should be able to make Murong Ke stop going south and return to the army immediately! Huan Wen said to everyone.

In terms of planning alone, this is relatively tight. If everything goes well, it should be able to achieve the result that Huan Wen wants.

However, just when he ordered to send reinforcements, Yuan Zhen, who was stationed in Suiyang City, finally couldn't support it. The Yan army gathered a large army and attacked Suiyang City at any cost, but it actually attracted the flow of Suiyang water and flooded the entire Suiyang City.

As a result, Yuan Zhen had to lead part of his troops and horses to retreat along Suishui to Peijun in the southeast. This Pei County is located on the north bank of Suishui, southwest of Pengcheng, and west of Xiapi, and the three places just form a triangle.

Therefore, Yuan Zhen and Yu Xi's soldiers and horses simply watched and helped each other, echoing each other, and planned to temporarily hold on to this place and wait for reinforcements.

But the Yan army obviously didn't want to be delayed by them, so in addition to leaving a part of the soldiers and horses to surround these three cities, the brigade went directly to the south to kill.

As a result, it didn't take long for the territory north of Huaishui to start from the sea in the east of Jiangzuo and end at Suishui to the east, and only three isolated cities remained. Huan Wen, who got the news, had to order all the soldiers and horses to speed up their march, rush to the north of Huaishui as soon as possible, and repel the Yan army.

As soon as Yuan Zhen retreated, there was a huge hole in the section of defense line guarded by Huan Huo to the east and north of Yingchuan County.

Huangfu Zhen, who was stationed in Chenliu County north of Suishui, would certainly not miss such an opportunity, when he sent Sun Xi and others to lead an army of 30,000 to cross Suishui, and then went south to attack the counties under the guard of Huan Huo.

As for the counties occupied by the Tang army in the north, the Yan army did not touch it at all. In this way, Zhao Ji and Chen Kang, who rushed to Xingyang County after receiving the news, were too lazy to help Jiang Zuo.

Anyway, without Li Xin's order, it was impossible for them to mobilize troops and horses, unless the Yan army directly attacked them. Jiang Zuo and Yan Jun fought to the death, and there was no harm to him.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of troops led by Huangfu Zhen opposite the Tang Army, and they have to guard against it!

In this way, at the junction of Chenliu, Xingyang, and Yingchuan counties, there was a strange scene. Hundreds of miles away, the south is in full swing, but in the north, the two sides are facing each other, and there is no friction.

Obviously, the Yan army also did not want to collide with the Tang army at this time, so it was a war with the Tang Dynasty. So, be careful.

In April, Jiangzuo's reinforcements finally arrived at the predetermined location.

In just over this month, the Yan army crossed Suishui and reached the boundary west of Xiapi and east of Yingshui. The 50,000 troops led by Huan Wen personally rushed to Shouyang County, Huainan County, an important town located in Huaishui.

Here, after a big battle between Huan Wen and Fu Yan and Yue Ming, who led the army south, they finally defeated the Yan army and blocked the southward movement of the Yan army. However, at this time, the overall situation has changed too much, and Chen County, Qian County and other places in the north of Huainan County have also been attacked by the Yan army.

Huan Wen had no choice, and he couldn't let go of Fu Yan's soldiers and horses to go north regardless of it. Therefore, he can only pin the war in the north on Huan Chong and Huan Huo, and plan to meet Deng Yao, Yuan Zhen, and Yu Xi first, and solve Fu Yan's soldiers and horses.

Just as the war in the Huaishui area was raging, Xi Chao, who rushed to Chang'an, finally persuaded Li Xin and asked Li Xin to agree to deal with Yan with Huan Wen.

Originally, he didn't want to send troops so soon.

After all, it would be a good thing to let Yan Guo and Huan Wen fight for a while first, and consume the strength of both sides first. Another reason is that he feels that he has only been resting for nearly three years now, and now he has caught up with the agricultural time, and the action at this time is quite unfavorable for Datang.

But after careful consideration, he finally agreed to the request to send troops. After all, it's a rare opportunity! Moreover, if you calculate the time, it seems that it is not much different from what you planned, so let's be a little earlier!

Originally, according to Huan Wen's meaning, he wanted Datang to send troops to deal with it, so as to form a little pressure on Yan Guo, so that the other party could not resist him with all his strength. If this is the case, the Tang army can achieve this goal by sending troops from any place.

But obviously, Li Xin's thoughts are completely different from Huan Wen's, because this time he doesn't plan to make a small fuss, but is ready to make a big deal.

In mid-April, Li Xin secretly ordered an all-arms war, and it was really the first time that such a one-time order was given to the soldiers and horses of the whole country. Grain, grass, logistics, and materials from various places have also begun to be transferred to the army, and people with a discerning eye can see at a glance that this is a preparation for a big war.

After the news reached Yecheng, Murong Ke immediately ordered all localities to be on strict alert to prevent the Tang army from attacking.

Shangdang County governs Huguan County, and Liu Xiaohai has been stationed here for five or six years. It can be said that no one knows the situation around him better than him.

His favorite thing to do is to climb the mountains outside the city, look to the east, and sigh when he will be able to move his army eastward and include the Central Plains as the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Obviously, this time he finally waited for this opportunity.

"Wang Order: The former general Liu Xiaohai is the general of the expedition to the east, and he will lead 50,000 troops to the east to go out of Taihang to fight Yan!" At the end of April, Li Xin's order was officially issued, and there was only a short sentence on it, but it made Liu Xiaohai excited.

General Zhengdong is the official position of the third grade, which is one grade higher than the current official position of Liu Xiaohai. What's more, this is not a permanent official position, at least, in the sequence of the Tang Army.

This official position was specially used by Li Xin to appoint the generals who presided over the war at the time of the Great War. In wartime, it can be set up to control one side, and if it is to command more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, it is inevitable to add this position.

Among the military positions of Zheng Sanpin, there are a total of four expeditions and four towns, and a total of twelve positions in Si'an and Siping. Among them, the town is the most important, and Anping is second! When the war is over, this position will be relieved.

Generally speaking, when there is a war, it is used to levy and peace, and when it is peaceful, such as Li Erhei, who needs to guard the place, use the town and peace! In addition, the military positions of Zheng Sanpin are only hussar generals and chariot generals!

"Minister, leader!" Liu Xiaohai solemnly accepted the order.
