In other words, Lin Xiu has seen through the essence of Lu Yan's generals, since the beginning of the fight, Lu Yan has been attacking himself with the dignity of a high-ranking general from beginning to end, such a general will definitely not lose his mind for the sake of a moment of pleasure and anger, and abandon thousands of Jianghuai Yan soldiers to take prisoners.

Sure enough, Lu Yan, who was so angry that he was crazy, waved his arm and blade only half of the time to stop, and after a moment, Lu Yan's bloody eyes hissed: "I serve his master, it is for loyalty, and I will not realize that I am wrong until I die... Since you are loyal to the new emperor who has no virtue and no excess... Then I'll see how far you can go in the new emperor's grace..."

When the words fell, Lu Yan was stunned, his strength was in his arms, and the blade immediately reversed and slashed itself towards his neck. And Lin Xiu even heard a strange deep taste in Fang Cai's words, and the flash of inspiration flashed in an instant, Lin Xiu took out his sword, cutting off Lu Yan's self-killing opportunity, and finally Lin Xiu said: "The war is over... A certain moment suddenly made it clear... The same summer... Why kill them all? Again... It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the general... Ben will believe that the emperor's grace has the royal way, and it will not be what you think! ”

That night, Lu Yan led the remnants of Kaicheng to surrender, the Bei'an army entered Yecheng, and then divided the troops in four directions, completely controlling the northern boundary of Yecheng, the capital of the city, when the morning sun rose again, sprinkled the four wild land, the news of the defeat of the Bei'an army by the famous Jianghuai general Lu Yan spread like a cold winter wind, and for a while, the prestige of the Bei'an general turned into the eastward water, and rushed into the eyes of countless famous people in Daxia...

Yanzhou boundary, since the beginning of the war, Tian Zhu soldiers made dangerous moves, several times to fight against the king of Yan, although because of the weak army, did not achieve any big victory, but a sudden battle, but also greatly delayed the speed of the westward advance of the king of Yan, among them, only Wang Xutuo's soldiers fought in Shouchun County, a plan to bring huge trouble to the king of Yan.

After the Wang Xutuo lone army secretly attacked Shouchun County, according to the strategy of Tian Zhu can fight in a hurry, and retreat in a weak war, he set up an ambush in Shouchun County to attack the Yan army, three battles and three victories, killing more than 2,000 enemies, when the Yan King was annoyed and angry, and sent Xiao to lead the army to attack, Wang Xutuo had already led his troops to evacuate Shouchun County, leaving only an empty county town for the Yan army.

"Damn... This Tian Zhu is so arrogant... This king will arrest him... Question him why he is loyal to the unvirtuous royal brother..."

In the palace, King Yan was full of anger, and Han Mingzhen hurriedly dissuaded comfort.

"Your Highness, don't be angry!" Han Mingzhen bowed and said: "Although Tian Zhu has a bit of talent and martial ability, but the overall situation has not changed, now, the defense line of the Zhongdu army on the front line of Chencheng and Puyang has been cut off by our army, and the combined troops of Tian Zhu and the returned Yuanzi period and Wang Xutuo are not more than 10,000, trapped in Puyang, and the attack posture has completely disappeared, I am tired of thinking about it, and our army has made a detailed report, and the Zhongdu has not sent reinforcements to appear, so the old man estimates that most of the military strength of the Zhongdu is put on the defense of the Zhongdu City and the four-way defense, which is already a sign of weakness of Emperor Xia Wudi!" ”

"Show weakness?" When King Yan heard this, his anger dissipated slightly, he paced back and forth for a moment, and said: "Sir, although our army is strong, it has been advancing westward for two months at this time, and the grain and grass consumed a lot, and the grain and grass transported by Jianghuai will take half a month to arrive... This king can't always defend the battle in Yanzhou City... If this continues, our army's offensive will also be weakened due to lack of food and grass... Once the royal brother finds out, the consequences will be unfavorable to this king..."

"Your Highness, regarding such worries, the old man has already thought of a strategy for attacking the army, just waiting for His Palace's approval!"

Han Mingzhen's words made King Yan's face happy, and he hurriedly took two steps to the front: "Sir, come quickly!" ”

"Xuanwu is hard, only in the back armor, pulling up the roots, and the inside is as brittle as ice! Although Tian Zhu and Yuanzi are weak soldiers, they can resist desperately, just like the Xuanwu back armor, it is a difficult bone to gnaw, so the old man wants to ask His Highness to write a secret letter, and wait for the old man to ride at night to pass it on, within two days, Tian Zhu's head will inevitably be sent to His Royal Highness, and then the eastward border defense line of the Central Capital will completely collapse! ”

Hearing this, King Yan's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he immediately understood the meaning of Han Mingzhen's words, at the moment, King Yan was courteous, secretly wrote a hundred words, and promised to be a high-name meritorious, and laid down the bright light avenue for the pro-Yan Xiao general in the Tian Zhu Department, and later, King Yan ordered Zhu Mao to lead 6,000 troops as the forward and set off immediately, and ordered Dai Liang, the deputy commander of the battalion, to lead 5,000 soldiers to the rear, and Zhu Mao to attack before and after.

At this point, King Yan came to the front of the court, he looked up, the clear sky had been cloudy for several days, so that people could not see a trace of hope for the warm sun, even so, in front of the powerful military strength of the Yan army, the emperor's heart in King Yan's chest was still undiminished: "Brother Huang, it won't be long before you and I can meet in front of the capital..."

Puyang, when Wang Xutuo and Zhao summoned a surprise attack on the four fields of Yanzhou, the Yan army's offensive was delayed for several days, even if Yuanzi abandoned Chencheng, the Yan army's flying cavalry did not attack again, for a while, the generals eased a little, but for Tian Zhu, just such a tranquility would only make him more and more uneasy, it seemed that the current situation was just the tranquility of death before the storm.

"General, our army still has more than 9,000 soldiers left, if it resists the battle, it will be stable within ten days, but after ten days, I am afraid that there will be chaos..."

Wang Xutuo said in a loud voice, Tian Zhu's face was silent, and he was also worried about coming out of the ranks.

"General, although the soldiers are enough to fight, but the food and grass are less than three days, if there is no reinforcement food and grass supply in the central capital, I am afraid that there will be chaos..."

"What?" Tian Zhu got up in shock, and almost fell down in excitement: "Obviously, there are still tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, why is it suddenly exhausted..."

In the face of Tian Zhu's predicament, Yuan Ziqi mentioned from the side: "In the previous assault and forced war, the grain and grass of each department were distributed to double the surplus for the purpose of fierce battles. So some of the soldiers threw away their food and grass... That's about 20,000 stones..."

With a "snap", Tian Zhu slapped his palm on his face, only startling Yuan Ziqi, who had fallen into words: "General Tian, what are you doing?" ”

Faced with questioning, Tian Zhu should not have been at all: "Damn it... It's the general who overestimates the combat power of the soldiers of Zhongdu... If the soldiers were as brave as the generals, this battle would have been over long ago..."

When these words came into his ears, Wang Xuba, Zhao Zhao, and Yuan Ziqi immediately understood what the meaning was, just like Deng Zhong's secret attack on the camp before, Tian Zhu obviously treated the Fuyan army with superior military strength and flawless military strategy, and he should have won a complete victory, but what was the result? The thieves beheaded Deng Zhong by thousands, broke the formation and left, and let Deng Zhong go to Chencheng to help the trapped Zhu Mao, and assault the Yuanzi period, so that Zhu Mao failed to fight against the war, lost his troops and had to abandon the city to gather troops in Puyang, and stabilized the last defense point in the eastern boundary.

In the midst of anxiety and indignation, Huangfu Chenghao came here, and Tian Zhu looked at the prince of this general, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.

"What is the matter with the Imperial Pioneers here?"

"General Tian, there was a slight riot in the baggage camp just now, and I went to check it out, but it was a problem of porridge for dinner, and I would like to ask here, is our army already short of food?"
