Chapter 35 Women don't let the eyebrows go
As one of the old enemies of the Rong people, the ministers of the Yan State court were not in harmony, the people under the court were suffering and hungry, and the army was even more sparse and pitiful, with only 50,000 people. Murong Qiyan understands all these situations. Based on the understanding of Yan State, even if the preparations were hasty to attack Yan this time, Murong Qiyan thought that according to the current military front of Yan State, the Great Yan army would not be able to stop the advance of the clansmen, but after a thousand calculations, he forgot Lin Feng, and the clansmen's attack stopped at the Black Flag Pass.
If Jian has no reinforcements, and the onslaught will continue in the next few days, the Black Flag Pass guards will die on the battlefield sooner or later, and the Rong people will pay the price, but they will also be able to break through the Black Flag Pass. However, the appearance of reinforcements from the Yan State was unexpected, and the difficulty of the siege was greatly increased, and if the battle continued, the clansmen suffered more casualties, which deviated from the previous plan to attack Yan.
And this support army, even the Han side, which is in charge of the finances of Yan State, does not know about its existence, which shows that there are many people in Yan State who have been deceived by the emperor. As the emperor, he can train recruits openly, why does he hide it from the ministers of the court. After thinking about it, Murong Qiyan came up with two guesses. The emperor of Yan was ambitious, so he was ready to hide his ambitions and try to be strong in the cracks of the major powers, and secondly, he had scruples and was unwilling to show his muscles before he had enough strength in his hands.
After careful consideration, Murong Qiyan concluded that the current Emperor of Yan was ambitious, but he was temporarily controlled by others, so he was secretly training private soldiers. Then contacted the Emperor of Yan to ascend the throne to use troops to foreign countries, and the style of marching, after careful consideration, she suddenly found that Emperor Yan was not mediocre, on the contrary, very treacherous, very bold, thoughtful, and strategic.
As soon as Murong Qiyan reminded her, Murong Bowen seemed to understand and nodded slightly. "Yes, I did underestimate the little emperor of Yan Kingdom before, judging from his method of annihilating Zuo Xian Wang's department, this person is as bold and careful as a wolf king, and as cunning and insidious as a fox. Looking at the well-trained reinforcements at the Black Flag Pass, I see that he is not small.
On the surface, the Yan Kingdom is riddled with holes, the ministers are not in harmony, and disasters are continuous. Outsiders thought that the Yan Kingdom was about to fall, but according to the current situation, whoever dared to bully this sick cat would unceremoniously shed tiger teeth and show his muscles. Remember that my father Khan led 100,000 people to break through the Black Flag Pass, all the way to the White Horse Pass, and almost wiped out the Yan Kingdom. Now, the 300,000 army can't capture the Black Flag Pass, is it because the combat effectiveness of the clansmen has declined, no, absolutely not, it is the Yan State that is strong, and the military is strong. Murong Bowen muttered to himself, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was recalling the past.
"Well, I have to praise that the little emperor of Yan has some military talent and statecraft, and in the two years since he ascended the throne, he first thwarted the intention of the Jin State to advance westward, recaptured a city, and a few months ago, he destroyed the tribe of Zuo Xianwang, which greatly stabilized the external environment.
According to Yan'er's understanding, at the end of June, there was a drought in the south of Yan Kingdom, the people were displaced, there was no food, and the disaster was about to evolve into a mob, but he took the opportunity to recruit troops and gather all the young and middle-aged people in the army. Today, when everyone thought that there were no soldiers in Yan Kingdom, the street homeless people that day became a division of tigers and wolves.
All kinds of things, at first glance, seem reasonable, but if you taste it carefully, it is a little abnormal, and Yan'er even suspects that the troops attacking my rear tribe can also be done by the Yan army.
As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and the little emperor is very bold and dares to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the tooth account of King Zuoxian.
Summing up the current signs, Yan Erjue that the little emperor of Yan Guo must have been training in secret for several months, deliberately pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and is not taken seriously at present, once outsiders find the minions, they may be able to see the entire figure of the fierce tiger. Murong Qiyan said.
"Yan'er, you have always had a strategy, and your guess about the behavior of the Emperor of Yan is consistent with the intelligence, if this person can't be eliminated immediately, he will not only threaten the Rong clan in the future, but also threaten several northern countries, replacing King Zhao Heng as the overlord of the north. Our tribe is suffering, the future is unknown, as you can see, what should we do? "Murong Bowen has two daughters, the eldest daughter Murong Mengfei is simple-minded and innocent, and the second daughter, Murong Qiyan is good at scheming and decisive, if it is not for the body of a daughter, she can inherit the throne of the Great Khan. Murong Bowen didn't know how to treat Murong Qiyan, so he left the other party by his side and gave him advice.
Thinking of the future situation of the Rong clan from Lin Feng, Murong Bowen had to focus on his second daughter.
"Hehe, Father Khan don't worry, it's true that Yan and our tribe have been enemies for a hundred years, but except for us, Jin State, Zhao State, and Zheng State are all eyeing each other, waiting to annex Yan State. Father Khan must understand that the current enemy of Yan is definitely not the Rong people, and the current enemy of our tribe is not the Yan country, but the Xiongnu. Therefore, in the coming year, the Xiongnu will definitely raise troops again and grab the winter food, and the father Khan should have made plans early. Murong Qiyan looked up at her father and continued: "Yan'er thinks that no matter whether or not her father Khan finally captures the Black Flag Pass, after grabbing the grain, he should repair a letter to the little emperor of Yan State and form a good alliance with Yan State for Qin and Jin. ”
"Why, if the Yan Kingdom wins, the little emperor of the Yan Kingdom will definitely not agree. Over the years, we have killed a lot of Yan people, twenty years ago, the Rong people broke the Black Flag Pass, soldiers came to the White Horse Pass, was regarded as a hundred years of shame by the Yan State, once strong, will definitely take revenge with my Rong people. If Yan Guo is defeated, I will definitely not marry your sister to the little emperor of Yan State, how can I say that I will leave the book. Murong Bowen was puzzled, and even a little angry in his heart.
"Hehe, Father Khan must have been able to see that the little emperor of Yan is not an idle person and has great ambitions.
However, if the Yan Kingdom is defeated, according to the virtue of the Yan people, they will definitely not let my sister back, and they will fight us to the end, which is not in the interests of the tribe.
If the Yan Kingdom wins, we will not be able to grab the food for the winter, if we marry my sister to the little emperor of the Yan Kingdom, we can exchange for food, and second, we can ensure the safety of my sister.
As for Father Khan's fear of feud between the two countries, there is no need to worry, the situation in Yan is as bad as our tribe, internal and external troubles, if the emperor of Yan wants to dominate the world, he must calm down external disputes and ensure a peaceful external environment.
At that time, if Father Khan takes the initiative to show goodwill, the other party will definitely agree. Therefore, no matter whether the Black Flag Pass is captured or not, as long as the father Khan is willing to repair a book, he will definitely get winter food. Murong Qiyan said treacherously
"But, but, the little emperor of Yan Kingdom captured your sister, I took the initiative to show goodwill, it would be too embarrassing, besides, I'm sorry for your sister for doing this." Murong Bowen was unwilling, losing face and his daughter, making him crazy.
"Father Khan, don't you often say that those who achieve great things must be able to afford to let go, besides, my sister is a captive, if Father Khan doesn't repair a book, my sister's situation in Yan Country may be even worse. Besides, relative to face, the benefits of grasping are real. If we can't capture the Black Flag Pass, and the Emperor of Yan State marries the princess of the Rong clan, shouldn't he give us a bride price.
Once the emperor of Yan agrees to a truce with our tribe, my father Khan can send an envoy to Zhao in winter, and our tribe will strive to form an alliance with Zhao, and the next year will be the Xiongnu army, and the Zhao people can fight in the north and south, not to destroy the Xiongnu, but also to fight for respite for the clansmen. ”
"Zhao Guobing is strong, and he is indeed the overlord of the north, but King Zhao Heng is a two-faced person, for petty profits, and does not abide by integrity. Once it forms an alliance with Zhao and attacks the Huns, Zhao temporarily changes its hexagram, and our tribe is difficult to support alone, and we can't stop the Huns! Murong Bowen said worriedly.
"Father Khan, King Zhao Heng is indeed brazen and can't befriend him, but the Taiwei of Zhao and the general have the intention to crusade against the Huns, and the two have been secretly arranging for many years. Besides, Father Khan not only wants to form an alliance with Zhao, but also should ally with the Donghu people, the Xiongnu this summer, taking advantage of the death of the Donghu Boss Khan, seized most of the grassland and water sources of Donghu, Yan'er heard that the new Great Khan of Donghu is also preparing for war, Father Khan must know that the two overlords on the grassland, for hundreds of years, are old enemies, will not let one side be strong alone, our strength has been damaged, and only between the major powers, slowly plotting it, trying to compete for hegemony. Murong Qiyan said.
Murong Bowen was worried, and said with a sad expression: "Yan'er, your plan is good, but it is extremely difficult to implement, if you can't convince Zhao Guo and Donghu, our tribe will face life and death in the coming year!" ”
"Father Khan, Zhao and Donghu are not small, for more than ten years, Zhao has always wanted to destroy the Xiongnu, and then unify several northern countries, Donghu is even more so, once the Huns are defeated, the Jin State in the south of Donghu will not be able to stop the Donghu cavalry at all, and the desire of the Donghu people to go south for a hundred years will also be realized, the opportunity is rare, King Zhao Heng and the King of Donghu will not miss it easily, let's secretly unite the two families, if the two attack the Xiongnu at the same time, the tribe can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Murong Qiyan explained carefully and appeased his father Khan.
"Okay, good, good, once the Bauhinia Pass and the Black Flag Pass have been captured, we will retreat back to the royal court and implement the plan on time." Murong Bowen had a plan to fight against the Huns, his heart knot opened, and he said excitedly: "Yan'er, it's a pity that you are not a boy, otherwise, why can't our tribe be strong!" ”
After a day and night of rapid marching, at dusk, Lin Feng and the others had already passed through the civil fort, and saw that the wolf was about to be locked up. Before Lin Fengren arrived at the Black Flag Pass, the front-line battle reports were sent one after another.
When the army was marching in the Wolf Pass, Lin Feng received a battle report written by Liu Xuanyuan, which specifically described the battle situation at the Black Flag Pass in the past few days.
The bloody battle at Black Flag Pass was too tragic, with heavy casualties on both sides, but the soldiers guarding the city at Black Flag Pass were seriously insufficient in number, and they continued to carry it to the death, and they could not stop the Rong people.
Even, he could imagine that Liu Xuanyuan wrote this blood book in the fierce battle at the head of the city.
Liu Xuanyuan's blood book was indeed written at the head of the city, at noon, when the Rong people attacked the Black Flag Pass for the second time, Liu Xuanyuan hurriedly wrote down the blood water, the intention in the letter was obvious, he would survive with the Black Flag Pass, if the Black Flag Pass missed, he would arrange the ironclad cavalry to go south and ambush the Rong people halfway, hoping that the emperor would send troops to support.
