The Jin army was east of Suiyang, and the line between Pengcheng and Donghai County was originally deployed with 30,000 or 40,000 troops. But unfortunately, the person who commanded them was Yu Xi, a man who did not have much military ability. The Yan army suddenly moved south, and after a fierce chase and fierce attack, Yu Xi almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and he didn't hold out for long at all. After Ju County was taken by surprise, he first retreated to Qi County in the north of Donghai County, intending to rely on Yishui to block the southward movement of the Yan army.

As a result, he was directly attacked by the Yan army from Rencheng County from behind, and finally fled all the way south to Zhitan City, Donghai County. But at this time, there were not many soldiers and horses left in his hands, and in the end, seeing that the situation was not good, he simply abandoned the city and fled, giving up the entire Donghai County.

He retreated in panic all the way to Xiapi County, where Xuzhou Prefecture was located, which is the junction of Surabaya and Yishui. Similarly, this is also an important anchorage place for the Jiangzuo Water Army, and there are still a lot of troops here.

But in this way, the Jiangzuo territory north of Xiapi will fall into the hands of Yan State. Yue Ming and Fu Yan, who led the army south, went south very quickly, and almost followed Yu Xi in front and back to kill under the city of Xiapi.

Yu Xi had no choice at this time, so he had to rely on Xiapi and Pengcheng to the west to stick to the area where Surabaya and Yishui meet. Relying on the high walls of the city to block the attack of the Yan army, on the other hand, it is constantly asking for help from Yuan Zhen in Suiyang to the west, Huan Huo in the Xuchang area, and Huan Wen in Jiangling.

But at this time, Yuan Zhen was already in a predicament, because after Yu Xi's defeat, he lost a large ~ piece of territory. As a result, Pengcheng and the boundaries north of Xiapi, which were supposed to serve as the right flank of Liang County, fell into the hands of the Yan army at this time.

In this way, it is equivalent to the entire eastern and northern parts of Liang County being controlled by the Yan army. Yuan Zhen's troops and horses were already surrounded by the Yan army, and the only way to retreat was to retreat to the south and west.

Therefore, if you want Yuan Zhen to rescue Xiapi at this time, it is simply impossible. Moreover, Yuan Zhen was facing the swarming Yan army, and he was in a bitter battle, and even he himself sent envoys to Huan Wen and the imperial court several times a day to ask for help.

On top of that, he couldn't just retreat.

Because if Yu Xi is his right wing, then he himself is the right wing of the Huan Huo Department located in Xuchang and Xingyang. Once he retreats to the south, it will be tantamount to completely exposing the entire right wing of Huan Huo in front of the Yan army.

At that time, the tens of thousands of troops in the hands of Huan Huo will definitely not be able to withstand the Yan army brigade besieging from all sides. Needless to say, the result after that was definitely Jiangzuo's defeat north of Huaishui.

After Yue Wan personally led an army of 50,000 to Chenliu, he handed it over to Huangfu Zhen. But Huangfu Zhen did not scatter all his troops, but strengthened Chen Liujun's defense against the Tang army.

As for himself, he personally sat in Xiaohuang County, ready to deal with the attack of the Tang army at any time. It's just that he himself is puzzled by Murong Ke's actions this time. After seeing Yuewan, he specially asked.

"Dazai's move is really incomprehensible! With today's situation, we should rest and recuperate, why did we suddenly march again, and still attack Jiangzuo? ”

"Alas, not to mention you in this matter, even the princes of the court are very confused. After I returned from Yan County, I didn't stay in Yecheng for too long, so I was approached by Dazai-sama and directly gave this order to lead the troops. He only said that I would join you and hold this place, but he did not say why he did it. Moreover, I heard that Taiwei and others had opposed this matter, but this time, Dazai-sama actually made an arbitrary decision and advocated this matter, and everyone had no choice. Yue Wan sighed and said helplessly.

"That's it! Alas, if it weren't for the fact that this was ordered by Dazai-sama, I would have tried my best to stop it. After all, this kind of practice is very disadvantageous to us! Originally, it was already very difficult for us to resist the Tang Dynasty, and if Jiang Zuo was angered again, we would inevitably face the situation of being attacked on both sides! The emperor really listened, and shook his head again and again.

Murong Ke's ability is naturally undoubted and recognized by everyone. If it weren't for this, I am afraid that this thing he did would have aroused everyone's opposition a long time ago, and where could it be carried out.

In everyone's eyes, they will feel that Murong Ke may have some big plan, but his vision is too low to understand.

"In any case, the war has begun! What we have to do is to ensure that this war is beneficial to us, and it is best to end it as soon as possible! Perhaps, Dazai-sama thinks that Jiang Zuo is incompetent, let's defeat it easier! ”

"Fortunately, now that the Tang Dynasty has not moved, we have taken part of the opportunity first. But we can't take it lightly, the matter of Yanzhou is involved in many things, Jiangzuo is attacked, and Huan Wen will inevitably ask Li Xin for help. I'm afraid that it won't be long before we have to face Datang's attack again! Huangfu said worriedly.

"Either way, let's do our best! Since Dazai-sama single-handedly contributed to this, he must have already had a plan in his heart. Let's wait and see what happens! Yue Wan comforted.

Murong Ke's operation can be described as fierce as a tiger, which directly made many people dumbfounded. After all, such an approach seems to be no different from self-harm!

At this time, according to the thoughts of ordinary people, it seems that Yan Guo should try his best to make friends with Jiang Zuo and win an ally for himself to deal with the pressure of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if you can't become an ally with Jiang Zuo, at least you have to keep Jiang Zuo neutral and not become an enemy!

It is precisely because there are so many questions that Taiwei Fengyi, Sikong Yanglu and others have been running to Dazaifu almost every day in the past few days, trying to find out what Murong Ke's thoughts are.

"Dazai-sama, the war has reached this point now, so you can tell us what you have planned, right?" Feng Yi said with some dissatisfaction.

"Exactly! All of a sudden, you went on attack, and it was so sudden! Why is that? No matter how you look at it, this matter is not good for us! Yang Lu also had a general expression, and said bitterly.

Murong Ke looked at these two important ministers and knew that they were really worried that this matter might harm the interests of the Yan Kingdom. But he had already thought about the matter thoroughly, and it was not an easy decision for him to make this decision.

After thinking about it, he said to the two: "I have my own reasons for this matter, but I can't say it yet!" Because this matter is very important, once it leaks out in advance, there will be serious consequences! When it's over, you'll understand. If it weren't for the last resort, this king wouldn't have made such a decision! I can only say that this is for my Dayan and I have no choice but to do it! ”

Hearing this, Feng Yi and Yang Lu glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Murong Ke's tone was extremely tight, since he didn't plan to say it, even if the two of them talked about it, it would be impossible to get any news from him.

Fortunately, his loyalty to the court is unquestionable. Otherwise, if he does this, I am afraid that some people will wonder if he is going to rebel.

"Alas, even so, the impact of this matter is too great after all! Especially Datang is eyeing me from the sidelines, wanting to destroy my Dayan and then hurry, presumably Dazai-sama understands it! Then Li Xin saw that we were fighting with Jiang Zuo, and he would inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble. If you are not careful, I am afraid that the country of Yan will be wiped out! After thinking about it for a while, Feng Yi still persuaded.

"The words of the captain, this king also understands, but this is a risk that has to be taken! All kinds of precautionary measures, this king has already thought about it, if this matter can be done, my Dayan will have more room for maneuver in the future. Otherwise, you will eventually be controlled by others and face the threat of Datang at all times! Murong Ke nodded and said leisurely.

Seeing him like this, Feng Yi and Yang Lu didn't say anything more, and the two said goodbye.

Fan Yangguo, Murong Chui was in the middle of military training, and after learning about the things in the south, he climbed the city tower alone and looked at the north.

"It's time to start! Let's hope Dazai-sama's plan will succeed! In any case, before this, I will block the Tang Army, and I will not let them have any chance to go south! After a long time, Murong said to himself in a low voice.

What Murong Ke is thinking, others may not know, but he is very clear. Because, this time the matter was originally secretly discussed by the two of them. Therefore, he is very clear about the risks and crises involved.

When the war situation in Yan and Xu Erzhou reached Jiangzuo, the Jin Dynasty was in the process of breaking the Gengxu land, reading the household registration and strictly enforcing its legal system. This practice is roughly the same as the previous soil break in the Tang Dynasty, but one difference is that Huan Wen presided over this land break and did not weaken the privileges of the family.

Unless it is those big surnames who have some contradictions with him, he just took this opportunity to attack the strength of the other party. But in any case, this time the soil break still achieved relatively significant results for Jiang Zuo. Similarly, the turmoil caused in Jiangzuo was not small.

Fortunately, as the population increases, the base for paying taxes will naturally be larger. The amount of food and money in the treasury has also increased a lot, and for the imperial court, it has the confidence to do a lot of things.

And the new emperor of the Jin Dynasty was superstitious about the monks, and he wanted to become an immortal all day long, and stayed with a group of sub-warlocks to make alchemy and take medicine. As a result, I was poisoned the other day! There was no way, the Empress Dowager had to come to the court as regent again.

At such a moment, the Yan State invaded southward on a large scale, and the waves caused in the Jiankang court can be imagined.
