The Tang army marched quickly and took the entire Youzhou in a short period of time, which was really a heavy blow to the Yan State. The war in the past has already told the world about the strength and courage of the Tang Army. But what I didn't expect was that when the soldiers and horses of the Yan State faced the Tang army, which did not occupy the advantage of troops, they were so weak that they were simply vulnerable.

Of course, everything reuses the people of the Murong family, which is a disadvantage of the Yan Kingdom. After all, the people of the Murong clan are their own people, and they can be trusted, but not everyone surnamed Murong is as capable as Murong Ke and Murong Chui!

The only thing worth consoling is probably that at this time, the Tang army was basically pinned down by Murong Chui in the area of Fanyang Kingdom. This gave the Yan court in Yecheng a lot of time so that they could discuss ways to do it.

"We must immediately send troops to support King Wu, otherwise, once the war is unfavorable, the Tang army will move south like a tide and kill directly around Yecheng. At that time, the Yan Kingdom will be in danger! "In the early dynasty of the Yan Kingdom, the ministers spoke one after another.

"Military affairs, I am entrusted to Dazai, everything is decided by Dazai, and the secretaries can discuss this matter with Dazai, I have no permission!" When the little emperor Murong Wei saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart, and hurriedly looked at Murong Ke and said.

After the news of the Tang army's large-scale attack came back, the Empress Dowager Kezuhun and Murong Wei were frightened. But if you ask them to come up with a way to solve the problem, that's obviously impossible. The only person they can rely on is Murong Ke.

The ministers also had this intention, so they did not leave after the court meeting, but gathered around Murong Ke on the top of the main hall to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, be quiet, please listen to the king!" Everyone said their own words, and the noise and shouting became a mess, and Murong Ke had to raise his hand and shout.

After hearing his words, the people and ministers around him gradually quieted down, waiting for him to speak.

"This is a war to destroy the country, and there is no other way than to fight with the Tang Dynasty. If we win, our family and country will be saved, and if we are defeated, we will die and the country will be destroyed! Therefore, we must go all out in this battle, and I hope that you will unite as one to overcome the difficulties together! Murong Ke's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and then said solemnly.

"Dazai-sama, please! I'll do it all! Feng Yi bowed down first.

"Please Dazai's command!" Behind him, Yang Lu and a group of ministers bowed in unison.

"Excellent! Now there are more than 100,000 troops under the command of King Wu, and if the command is done properly, it should be able to block the Tang army north of Jizhou, near Taihang Mountain. But after all, this is too big, so we have to do more preparation. Immediately dispatched soldiers, and then sent 100,000 troops north to aid King Wu to resist the enemy, and these 100,000 troops were led by Yang Sikong. Rushed to Gaoyang Kingdom and Zhangwu County, deployed on the south bank of the water, responsible for receiving King Wu! Seeing this, Murong Ke immediately ordered.

"Yes, the subordinate will be ordered!" At this time, Yang Lu responded.

"In addition, although the Tang Army in Shangdang and other places has not moved yet, it is coming soon. The city gates were ordered to be closed in all parts of the line, and that they must be defensive, and not to go out of the city to fight easily. When the time is favorable, the king will send a large army to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army. Also, the King of Bohai rushed to Qingzhou on the same day to sit in the town in case the war in Qingzhou changed. After a pause, Murong Ke continued.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Murong Liang, the king of Bohai, responded.

"To this day, when this national crisis is in trouble, it is imperative to do what is necessary. The clans, clans, officials, eunuchs, and tenants of each family sent slaves and maidservants to serve in the army to alleviate the difficulty of insufficient troops. There's no way around it! After all, after the country is ruined, we have nothing! The last thing, Murong Ke pondered for a while, and it seemed that he finally said it.

Yan Guo, like Jiang Zuo, has a lot of privileges and preferential treatment for these families.

Not to mention anything else, the problem of population shading alone is very serious. In addition, the Murong clan was originally a regime established by the Hu clan, but in fact, it retained a certain remnant of slavery. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a population like slaves and maids.

Every time they fought against the various ethnic groups in the north of the Saibei, they also attacked and plundered all parts of Jiangzuo, not only did they take away all kinds of materials, but also more people. And a large part of this is usually given as a prize to those who have merit.

There are more than a dozen slaves and maids, and there are thousands of servants in the most. The number of palace attendants in the palace of Yan Kingdom alone has reached as many as twenty or thirty thousand, and the daily consumption is even more than 10,000. Therefore, the people of Yan Kingdom are actually living very poorly, but the world was the same in the past.

But now the situation in Datang is different, so there are so many Yan people who secretly go to Datang.

Because these people are entrusted to the name of the family, they do not need to be conscripted for military service and do not have to pay taxes. This is a great attraction for those good people, so many good people have abandoned their homes and donated their fields and became lowly people.

This part of the population is very large, and when the Yan Kingdom was not so dangerous in the past, and the troops were sufficient, there was naturally no need to do this.

But this time the Tang Army was menacing, and the most important thing was that under the previous wars, the Yan Army was conscripted and served again and again, and the people of the right age were already wide and wide.

Now, from thirteen or fourteen-year-old children to white-headed old men, they all have to serve in the army. Even if it were, it wasn't enough! Murong Ke had no choice but to hit the idea on the slaves and servants of each family.

This is equivalent to digging up the flesh of the family and taking away their benefits, and naturally some people are unwilling to do so. After all, in the eyes of many officials, family interests are above all else, what is Yan Guo.

But in this case, it is impossible for them to stand up against it. Otherwise, Murong Ke might not be so easy to talk at that time. Although he usually seems to be a very amiable person, everyone knows that if he is really angry, it will be decisive to kill.

"Dazai-sama has an order, and the lower officials and others will definitely obey it!" The ministers of the Murong clan naturally agreed first, after all, the Yan Kingdom was resting with them! When the others saw this, they had no choice but to speak.

"Very well, let's do as I said! By the way, the King of Bohai comes here! Murong Ke nodded and named Murong Liang, the king of the Bohai Sea.

Two days later, the Yan Kingdom began to mobilize troops and horses on a large scale. Basically, in addition to sending troops from the eastern counties to the north and west, Huangfu Zhen and other places in Qingzhou and other places were also allowed to recruit civilians to join the army on the spot to resist the joint attack of the Tang army and the Jin army.

On Peng Lin's side, after he and Shi Yue sent troops from Wuruan Pass, they went straight to Gu'an County in the east of Fanyang Kingdom.

This Gu'an County is located not far from the southeast of Yi County in later Shishi, because it is facing the direction of Wuruan Pass, so it is the place where the Yan army is heavily guarded. Moreover, it is located dozens of miles south of Juxian County, which is behind Murong Chui.

There are 10,000 Yan troops in Gu'an County, and at the entrance of the road into the mountain outside the city, there are 10,000 troops who have established a camp to defend this place. If the Tang army wanted to advance from Wuruan Pass, it would either directly cross the mountains and cross the mountains and go south, or break through these two places, so as to enter the territory of Fanyang State.

Going straight south was a road, but because of the mountains and rivers, it was not a good choice for a large army to march, especially for a team with a large number of cavalry like Peng Lin. After all, if you go all the way south from this road, you will reach Langya Mountain.

Of course, the most important point is that attacking Gu'an County can deal a blow to Murong Chui's rear road, so that the defense line in the north can be broken through from behind.

At that time, Murong Chui had Liao Chuan in the north and Peng Lin and Shi Yue in the south, with a total of more than 40,000 troops, which was basically about the same as the Yan army.

The Yan army of Gu'an County was about 20 miles away from the 10,000 army outside the city, and they were the first and second lines of defense against Wuruan Pass, respectively. These two places echo each other, whether the camp outside the city is attacked, or the county seat of Gu'an is attacked, the other side can immediately go to the rescue.

In order to achieve the goal of destroying the enemy army as soon as possible, Peng Lin and Shi Yue discussed and decided to divide the troops. Peng Lin personally led the cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers out of the mountain to attack the enemy in the camp, while Shi Yue led another 5,000 foot soldiers to climb over the mountain and quietly detour outside Gu'an County from the south of the enemy camp.

Once Peng Lin's side started, when the defenders in Gu'an County went to the rescue, Shi Yue took the opportunity to kill again. When the time comes, not only will it be able to catch the Yan army in the city off guard, but it will also be able to suppress the county seat of Gu'an in one fell swoop.

After the two agreed, they immediately took action. And just as they were acting, Changshan Pass, which was more than a hundred miles southwest of Wuruan Pass, Shao Zisong and they were also ready to act.

In Changshan Pass, Shao Zisong looked at the soldiers lined up in the valley with a serious expression. After a while, he said: "When we were last year, more than a thousand of our brothers were burned to death by Murong Chui in the valley. Yesterday I passed by that place, and I vaguely heard the wails of those brothers! It's like it was yesterday! ”

Shao Zisong's voice resounded in the valley, and then it was passed to the end of the line.

Hearing this, the entire team was silent, even the cavalry who had been trained in Shuofang, Longxi and other places before, couldn't help but feel sad at this time. Everyone looked at Shao Zisong, and their eyes began to ignite with fierce fighting intent.

"Today, our chance to avenge them has come! Your Highness has an order, this battle will destroy Yan! In this battle, we are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for those brothers who died! Because only when the enemy is destroyed, our brothers will not die like this again! ”

"Today, let's go out of the pass, destroy those enemies who dare to resist, and turn the land of Yan into my Tang land! Reclaim the Central Plains! Shao Zisong gradually raised his voice, and finally, he shouted two words angrily: "Open up!" ”
