Chapter 276: Wanting to Take First
As soon as the military order was given, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the Houyan army immediately launched a fierce attack on Jinyang like a sea of mountains. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Countless Houyan soldiers dragged the siege equipment such as the chariot ladder and risked death to storm the city.
Arrows, rolling wood, and stones fell like rain on the city, and the Houyan soldiers who forcibly climbed the ladder fell down to the city one after another
The war broke out without concealment of people's blood, either by themselves or by the enemy.
On the battlefield, everyone mechanically repeats their instinctive movements.
Every blade goes down, with a hint of blood.
Every time the bow and arrow is fired, it takes a person and rolls on his back.
From the time of dawn to noon, there was no pause in the battle.
More than 3,000 people have been killed and wounded before and after the Houyan army, and Jinyang City is still not moving.
The only sight was the corpses all over the ground, with the howls of the wounded, the smoke billowing and the remnants of the flags dancing.
Standing in front of the Chinese military tent outside Jinyang City, Murong Zhang's face was pale.
He has experienced dozens of feet in his life, and he is invincible and invincible.
I didn't expect that today under this Jinyang City, there was no movement for a few days.
Seeing the Yan army's progressless offensive, Murong Zhang's head was about to explode.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely to Zhang Chong: "Pass the order: the whole army will attack the city with all its might, whoever is the first to attack the city will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" β
"Yes" Zhang Chong replied with his fists clenched, turning around and leaving.
"Slow, and! The whole army was ordered to allow the group to loot for three days after the city was broken. β
Zhang Chong was stunned when he heard this, and understood that Murong Zhang was already extremely angry at this time, and the people of Jinyang were afraid that they would be slaughtered.

The news of the invasion of Western Yan by Houyan was quickly reported to the Shuozhou Governor's Mansion by the Zhichong Mansion of Linshui County.
Li Wei, the governor of Shuozhou, sent scouts to Bingzhou to investigate the enemy's situation, and at the same time, according to the previous plan, he was ready to come to the aid at any time.
Although the outbreak of the war in Bingzhou was very sudden, it was expected by the people up and down Hexi.
Wei Shuo also wrote to Cui Hao and Li Wei many times, instructing the two to pay more attention to the state.
He even secretly granted the two of them the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, in case of an emergency situation, they could make their own decisions without waiting for the general's instructions.
Therefore, as soon as he received the urgent report, Li Wei quickly dispatched additional troops to the two counties of Hequ and Linshui on the other side of the river, just in case.
After the outbreak of the Jinyang War, Cui Hao and Li Wei had already set a strategy, ready to attack the enemy at any time, thinking that Jinyang would be relieved.
Gu Zang received the news later, and it was not until seven days after the battle that Wei Shuo knew that a conflict had broken out between the two Yans.
The urgent report reached Guzang, and everyone reacted differently to the battle.
Basically, it can be divided into two factions, one faction advocates no war and no rescue; One faction advocates fighting and going to the rescue.
Those who advocate not going to the rescue believe that Hexi has just finished rectifying, and the hearts of the people in various places have not yet calmed down, and they are temporarily unable to take care of Xiyan.
What's more, Qinzhou was recovered only in the autumn of last year, and the secession forces of Longyou Zhuhu were pacified, and Longyou is far from stabilizing at present.
Instead of helping Murong Yong, who can't support the wall, it is better to concentrate on doing a good job in internal affairs.
As for the West Swallow...... It is only necessary to strengthen the front-line defense of Luliang Mountain.
As long as Linshui County at the western foot of Luliang Mountain, this springboard for entering the state is still in the hands of Hexi, and when it becomes strong in the future, it can easily recover the state.
Opponents also pointed out that Hexi had just completed the reorganization of the army, and although it had cleared out the scum in the army and strictly enforced the army's appearance and discipline, it also caused a shock in the army's morale.
For now, it is time to further reassure the morale of the military, and not to talk about the war.
In addition to the internal drawbacks, there was also an alliance that posed a great threat to Hexiβthe Qin-Wei Alliance.
And this is the fundamental reason why everyone does not dare to speak lightly about the war.
Everyone was worried that if Hexi intervened in the war and attracted a joint attack by Later Qin and Northern Wei, Longyou and Shuofang would be in danger.
"My lord, Xiyan claims to have 100,000 people with armor, and there is Taihang Tianbao as a barrier in the east."
"The minister thought that even if there was no rescue from Hexi, Murong Yong would not be defeated in one day."
"It's better for us to watch from the wall first, and then stand up and clean up the mess when the two swallows are both defeated."
"In this way, it will not delay Hexi to solve the internal residual problem, and in the end, maybe it will be able to take the land of the annexation of the state at your fingertips, so why not kill two birds with one stone?"
Kill two birds with one stone? It's a beautiful idea!
If Wei Shuo didn't know the direction of history, maybe he would have adopted this opinion.
But he knew very well that in history, when Murong Yong faced Murong Chui, he had no power to fight back.
The so-called 100,000 army and Taihang Heavenly Danger, under the genius-like command of Murong Chui, are as vulnerable as paper paste.
Once Murong Chui successfully entered the annexation state, the threat to Hexi would be too great.
It is not even ruled out that the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Yan will unite and jointly deal with Hexi.
Seeing that everyone's opposition was very loud, Wei Shuo couldn't help but have a headache.
Under normal circumstances, he does not want to be arbitrary, so as not to stifle the enthusiasm of the people to participate in and discuss state affairs.
Rubbing his head, Wei Shuo suddenly saw that Liu Muzhi in the audience wanted to speak and stopped, so he pointed at the other party with his hand.
"Daohe, it seems that you have a different opinion, you might as well talk about it."
Seeing this, everyone was silent, and began to look at Liu Muzhi with a scrutinizing gaze.
As one of the four giants of civil and military affairs who entered the company at the latest, Liu Muzhi received the most criticism and the greatest pressure.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself to the outside world until the war between the two swallows broke out.
When he was in Jiangdong before, he offered Wei Shuo a false way to destroy him.
Just because the time has not come, this plan has been protected by most of the capital.
Now that Houyan has invaded Xiyan on a large scale, Liu Muzhi feels that the time is ripe.
I saw him take a step forward with his head held high, first got up and bowed deeply, and then bowed his hand to the surroundings.
"Dare to ask you, who is the biggest threat to Hexi at present?"
"It has to be the Qin-Wei Alliance."
"Yes!"
"At present, the alliance between Qin and Wei is as solid as a rock, if I attack one place, the other side will come to help."
"In order to prevent the invasion of the two countries, Hexi had to accumulate heavy troops in Shuofang and Longyou."
"It is precisely because of the containment of the Northern Wei Dynasty that Hexi does not even dare to send troops to Guanzhong."
"It must be known that Hou Qin has been surrounded by Hexi from the west and north, if there is no Qin-Wei alliance, there is only a Longshan, how can it stop the Hexi army?"
"It can be seen that if you want to recover Guanzhong, you must first break up the Qin-Wei alliance."
"Dare to ask Right Sima, what does the dismantling of the Qin-Wei alliance have to do with the rescue of Xiyan?"
"It's a big deal!"
"Sanjin is a strategic place, to the west can look at Guanzhong, to the north can threaten the land, to the east can plot Hebei, to the south can enter the Central Plains."
"Although it is a place of four wars, it is actually as closed as Shu Land, and it is difficult for outsiders to attack."
"If it is owned by Hexi, we can not only conquer the north and Tuoba in the north, but attack Houyan in the east; It can also unite Houyan in the east and destroy Houqin in the west. β
"But whether it is to the east or west, it can make the Qin-Wei alliance self-defeating."
"All of Right Sima's assertions are based on the assumption that the state belongs to Hexi."
"However, now that the two Yan are fighting for the state, what can they do in Hexi to take food and take the state as their own?"
"When I was in Jiangdong before, Dadu Hu had been tested in the next test, and Mu Zhi was not talented, so he offered Dadu Hu a plan to destroy the enemy on a false path."
"False way? Does Right Sima want to use the name of aiding Xiyan to wait for an opportunity to annex and annex the state? β
"Let's not talk about how to defeat Murong Chui's army, just how to hide from Murong Yong is a big problem."
"Although Xiyan is only a small country, Murong Yong is not all waste, how can he not take a little precautions?"
"If it is detected by Murong Yong, not only will it not be able to realize the intention of occupying and annexing the state, but it will also put the Hexi army in a desperate situation."
"Hahaha, your worries are indeed worrying, but I didn't say that this time I will do a false plan to destroy you."
In the face of everyone's criticism and suspicion, Liu Muzhi did not panic, but said with a flash of light in his eyes: "As the saying goes: if you want to take it, you must give it first!" β
"If you want to achieve the destruction of the false path, you must first gain the trust of Murong Yong."
"And this aid and annexation of the state is a rare opportunity."
"At the beginning, Murong Yong would definitely be suspicious of Hexi's vigorous assistance, but in order not to be annihilated by Murong Dang, he could only accept it head-on."
"At this time, Hexi should put on a heart-to-heart appearance, and exchange 'true feelings' for Murong Yong's trust."
"What does Right Sima mean is that he is going to let Hexi deliberately act in a play and fill the blame for a wronged person, so as to deceive Murong Yong's trust?"
"Yes!"
"Due to the dispute between the two Yan and the legal system, the relationship cannot be eased at all."
"And Murong Chui has always taken it as his responsibility to restore the great cause of Qianyan, and he will never give up if he does not destroy Xiyan."
"This time, we helped Murong Yongzheng temporarily retreat Murong Chui's attack, won't we be able to destroy him next time?"
