Hearing this, Hua An pondered for a moment, looked at Wang San, and said softly: "This king believes in General Xie, our army will definitely be able to defeat the army of Yan Kingdom, and victory must belong to our army." ”

"What the king said is that the last general also believes in General Xie's strength, but the army of Yan Guo is like a bamboo all the way, and it is indeed very worrying to kill at the foot of Yecheng in such a short time! The strength of the main army of the Yan Kingdom seems to be much higher than we imagined! Wang San said worriedly.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "General Xie secretly trained 20,000 elite chariot troops near Yecheng, you should know about this matter, judging from the battle reports some time ago, this elite chariot unit seems to have never been in battle!" Do you think it's strange? After speaking, he looked at Wang San.

Wang San was stunned when he heard this, paused, and said in surprise: "The king didn't say it, the last general didn't care too much, the king reminded him like this, and the last general suddenly remembered such a thing, at that time, in order to support General Xie Ai, the king transported all the 20,000 chariots and equipment in Luoyang City to Yecheng, there is indeed such a thing, but General Xie has never let this secret army fight, what is it for?" Is it to hide his strength, deliberately show weakness, and make the Yan army have the heart of underestimating the enemy, and then, suddenly launch a fierce attack and severely defeat the elite army of Yan State? ”

Obviously, Wang San still guessed some eyebrows, after all, at such a critical juncture when the situation in Hebei was so tense, Xie Ai delayed this chariot unit to fight, obviously there was an attempt to show weakness to the enemy.

Hua An nodded lightly, and said: "You guessed right, General Xie Ai is indeed deliberately showing weakness, and luring the Yan army to go deep alone, and then gather and annihilate it with all his might, these 20,000 elite chariot troops." It was prepared for the raid on the main army of Yan in Yecheng, and I believe that it will definitely be able to catch the Yan army by surprise. ”

"Oh, it turns out that the king has long known General Xie's plan, so the last general can rest assured, this battle. With 20,000 elite chariot troops and General Deng's 20,000 elite cavalry to help in the battle, our army will at least not be defeated. Wang San said excitedly.

Hua An nodded and paced in the main hall, although Hua An felt that Xie Ai's army would definitely be able to defeat Murong Ke's army, but before receiving the news of victory, his heart still couldn't be completely put down, after all. War is not child's play, there will be many unexpected events on the battlefield, and no prediction or plan will be 100% accurate.

"Report, king, Yecheng victory, Yecheng victory." Just when Hua'an was anxiously waiting, news finally came from the direction of Hebei, and. It's still the news of Yecheng's victory.

When Hua An and his subordinates heard this, they were all very happy. And immediately surrounded him.

"Wang San, say the content of the battle report out loud." Hua An looked at Wang San and said loudly.

Wang San nodded, took the battle report, took a cursory glance, and said loudly: "Your Majesty." General Xie's troops and horses broke the Yan army on the outskirts of Yecheng, and beheaded 60,000, of which 50,000 were the elite iron cavalry of Yan State, after this battle, the 80,000 main force of Yan State Iron Rope Cavalry has been wiped out. Yan Guo has been hit hard! Ha ha! After saying the content of the battle report, Wang San laughed happily.

"Haha! The army of Yan has suffered a heavy blow, which is really happy! ”

"Yes! General Xie really lived up to expectations, and he deserved to be the first general of the Liang Kingdom that year. ”

"Yan has suffered such a heavy blow, I am afraid that I will no longer have the ability to attack Hebei in the future."

When the generals heard this, they began to talk about it.

Hua'an is of course the most excited among everyone, he looked at the generals, and said happily: "Generals, General Xie's defeat of the Yan army is a gratifying thing, it is very worthy of celebration, this king decided to hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and the generals will not get drunk and do not return, and tonight, Luoyang City will cancel the curfew, so that the people of the entire Luoyang City will have a good celebration, remember, the movement is bigger, and it is necessary to create the momentum of the Shangyuan Festival." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The general commanded loudly.

The reason why Hua'an wants to celebrate the victory with great fanfare, one is to increase his prestige and make the people trust him more, after all, Hebei's Xie Ai Legion is the soldiers and horses under his command, Xie Ai's defeat of Murong Ke's Legion, it is Hua'an's proper use of people, Hua'an's prestige will naturally increase, and the second is to create a big momentum, so that all those who try to be unfavorable to Hua'an will dispel the idea of going against Hua'an, especially for Huan Wen in the direction of Jingzhou, so that Huan Wen can completely dispel the idea of raiding Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty, General Xie has led the victorious division under his command to launch a pursuit of the fleeing Yan army, and I believe that it will not be long before the Yan army can be completely annihilated." Wang San said happily.

Hua An waved his hand, and said: "You underestimate Murong Ke too much, since Murong Ke and some of the soldiers and horses under his command have escaped from General Xie's encirclement, it is impossible to catch up again, however, in this battle, our army can completely annihilate the iron cavalry of Yan State, which is still very satisfactory to this king, after all, in this way, Yan State will not make trouble in the Hebei direction within a few years." ”

Hearing this, Wang San nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, since the elite army of Yan State has been annihilated by our army, then, the soldiers and horses under General Xie can calmly recover the entire Jizhou, however, when the army of Yan State went south, the soldiers and horses under the command of Pu Jian did not resist the army of Yan State, they seemed to have formed a tacit understanding with the army of Yan State, and confronted each other, but there was no soldier to meet each other. After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Talking about Erxin, Pu Jian has never been sincere to this king, he has always been secretly communicating with Yan Guo, these situations, this king has long known, but in the past, he was not strong enough, so he could only turn a blind eye, but now, he can take care of him." ”

"How does the king plan to clean up Pu Jian?" Wang San asked curiously.

Hua An looked at the map in the main hall, and said: "This king will give an order, let General Xie Ai lead the main army under his command to garrison Lukou City, and let the Pu Jian army originally stationed in Lukou City march north, and garrison Gaoyang City, and then, order Pu Jian to lead the troops as the vanguard to attack Jicheng, if he dares to disobey the order, immediately let General Xie Ai lead the troops to annihilate it, and treat such a wall grass, absolutely not be merciful." ”

"Wang Shengming, you should be ruthless when you treat people like Pu Jian." Wang San opened his mouth in approval.

Hua An nodded, looked at Wang San, and said: "This order, later, you give it in person, and, tell General Xie Ai, after garrisoning Lukou City, he and the main army under his command are close to Jicheng, and when they are fine, they should go to the border of Yan to train their troops, and from time to time they will fight a small exercise to train the troops, so as to temper the combat effectiveness of the troops, and at the same time, they can also consume the vitality of Yan State, and in the long run, it will be difficult for Yan Guo's vitality to recover, so that it will no longer be able to pose a threat to Hebei." ”

"The king is sage, and the last will obey." Wang San clenched his fists and said.

"Report, Wang, news has just been sent back from the direction of Qingzhou, General Wang Wu and the 70,000 main army of his department have arrived at the Mayoujin Ferry in Liaodong and set up camp at the ferry." At this moment, good news also came from the direction of Qingzhou.

When Hua An heard this, he glanced at Wang San and laughed.

"Congratulations to the king, today is really a double happiness! I have just received the news of the victory in Yecheng, and now, General Wang Wu and the army under his command have landed on the land of Liaodong again, so that our army can contain the army of Yan from the east and west. Zhuge Xiong said happily.

"Your Majesty, our army will attack on both sides at the same time, perhaps, it won't be long before the Yan Kingdom can be wiped out, and all the territories of Youzhou and Pingzhou will be recovered." Wang San said excitedly.

When Hua An heard this, he was naturally very happy, but Hua An still had some doubts about Wang Wu's ability, so he said loudly: "Immediately send an order, tell Wang Wu, be careful in everything, it is advisable to be safe, you can contain the soldiers and horses of Yan State, and don't rush into the hinterland of Liaodong, so as not to suffer an ambush." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The general commanded.

"Your Majesty, take advantage of this great opportunity, why don't you march together on both sides and destroy the Yan Kingdom?" Zhuge Xiong looked at Hua An and asked suspiciously.

Hua An thought for a while, and said: "Although General Xie Ai annihilated more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses of Yan State, but the soldiers and horses under General Xie also lost nearly 100,000, and the soldiers of Yan State, not to mention more than 100,000 elites, if they are overly persecuted, they will inevitably lead Yan State and our army to fight, and when the time comes, it must be a situation of defeat and loss, and once our army shows its intention to destroy Yan, small countries such as Buyeo and Goguryeo will have a sense of coldness, and when the time comes, their army will only be afraid that they will reinforce Yan State!" In this way, should our army not be the enemy of the northern countries, and before our army's strength is strong enough, we should not lightly carry out the act of destroying the country, and gradually develop our strength is the best policy.

"The king is thoughtful, and the end will be far behind." Zhuge Xiong hugged his fists in response, and admitted that his views were short-sighted.

Subsequently, Hua An consulted with his generals and officials of Luoyang City about the lifting of the city-wide curfew at night and the celebration of the victory, so as to ensure that the celebration was carried out smoothly.

The Ministry of Security is not stingy with all the materials and funds needed for the celebration to ensure that the celebration will be held more successfully.

As the news of Yecheng's victory spread throughout Luoyang City, the whole city was plunged into excitement, and with the lifting of the curfew, the news of the city's celebration came, and all the common people were eager to buy festive things in order to celebrate the great victory of the Xie Ai army.
