Chapter 728: Three Joys Are Coming

Murong Jun stretched out his hand and pushed away the minister beside him, raised his head in the pouring rain, and said to himself: "It's raining, it's finally raining in the sky." After saying that, with a pious gesture, he continued to kneel and beg for rain, hoping that there would be more rain.

The rain poured down incessantly, and after a while, the rain on the ground, because it had not had time to flow, had accumulated a thick layer, and the surrounding trees were also a lot greener.

Murong Jun got up slowly, and a personal soldier immediately walked over with an umbrella to shield Murong Jun from the rain.

"Go back to the palace." Murong Jun ordered softly.

The location of the sacrifice is not far from the outside of the city, therefore, Murong Jun and the ministers under his command quickly returned to the palace, due to the rain, the first thing Murong Jun did after returning to the palace was naturally to take a hot bath, and then change into a set of clean clothes.

After washing up, Murong Jun strode towards the palace hall, he wanted to reward the minister who proposed to sacrifice Ran Min, it was his construction that allowed the heavens to rain down, thus alleviating the drought around Jicheng and ensuring the harvest of the common people of Yan Kingdom.

In the main hall of the palace, there were only a few important ministers of the Yan Kingdom, and when they saw Murong Jun walking in, they clasped their fists in turn.

When Murong Jun proposed to reward the official who solved the drought in Yan State, several important ministers of Yan State did not object, after all, the minister's prophecy was too accurate, just after sacrificing Ran Min, it rained heavily in the sky, such a meritorious hero, naturally he should be rewarded.

"Your Majesty, good news has just come from the direction of Lukou, under the attack of our army from the north and south, Wang Wu and the main army under his command cannot resist. Lukou City has been broken by our army, Wei general Wang Wu led part of the remnants of the army to defeat the generals, fled in the direction of Yecheng, and our soldiers and horses have been stationed in Lukou City. A minister reported loudly.

Murong Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Okay, great, it has just rained heavily in Jicheng, and good news has come from Lukou City, what a double happiness!" ā€

"Your Majesty, since Lukou City has been broken by our army. The main force of our army should immediately return to Xiangguo. and captured Yecheng, first destroyed the Wei State, and then competed with the Jin State for the world. A minister said.

Murong Jun nodded and ordered, "Okay." Spread the will of the king. Let the auxiliary general Murong Ke. Immediately led the main army under his command to return to Xiangguo, and General Fu Bi led his troops and horses to occupy Lukou, and captured Zhangwu, Hejian, Boling, and Anping counties. ā€

"Yes. The king. An official commanded.

"Report, the king, and the latest news from the direction of the state." A junior colonel rushed into the main hall and hugged his fists.

As soon as he heard the news that it was in the direction of Bingzhou, Murong Jun didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said: "What is the situation in the direction of Bingzhou, tell me quickly." ā€

"Back to the king, and the direction of the state, the 150,000 army of the country drove straight in, defeated the Jin army, Dingxiang, Jiuyuan, Yuxian, Wolf Meng, Yangqu and other dozens of cities, all of which were broken by the army of the country, the main force of the Jin army is like a lost dog, all the way to Jinyang City, now, the forward army of the country has been near Jinyang City, ready to capture Jinyang City at any time." The little school reported excitedly.

When Murong Jun heard this, he was both excited and surprised, a few days ago, he received a handwritten letter from the acting king Tuoba Shi Yijian, and learned that the main army of the Dai Kingdom was going to raid the Jin army, but he did not expect that the progress of the main army of the Dai Kingdom would be so rapid that he could capture dozens of cities garrisoned by the Jin army in such a short period of time, and force the main force of the Jin army to retreat into Jinyang City.

He didn't understand whether the Daiguo army was too brave, or the main force of the Jin army was already vulnerable, but Daiguo was an ally of Yan Guo, and Daiguo had achieved such a brilliant victory, Murong Jun was very happy in his heart, and at the same time, he also had a heart of eagerness to try, he wanted Murong Ke to lead the main army under his command to attack Yecheng, so as to achieve the same victory as the Daiguo army, so that he could show the posture of a leader in front of Daiguo.

Murong Jun looked at the ministers beside him, and said loudly: "The army of the Daiguo has achieved such a brilliant victory, how can my Great Yan Kingdom be left behind, this king intends to let the men and horses under the command of the general of the auxiliary country, after returning to Xiangguo, take a short rest and go south to Yecheng, so as to capture Yecheng before Daiguo captures Jinyang City, what do you Aiqing think?" ā€

"Wang Shang Shengming, however, the soldiers and horses under the command of the auxiliary general are 130,000, and the strength of the Wei and Jin coalition forces is 160,000, and the nearly 20,000 horses led by Wang Wu, the defeated general of Wei, will arrive in Yecheng in a short time, and the advantage of troops will be even more obvious. A minister built yƬ said.

When Murong Jun heard this, he nodded, and said: "Aiqing is right, this king intends to transfer 20,000 main forces from the 50,000 soldiers and horses under Uncle Wang's command to reinforce Xiangguo, and in addition, from the newly formed 100,000 reserve army, transfer 50,000 horses to Xiangguo, so that under the command of the auxiliary general, the soldiers and horses that can be commanded will be as high as 200,000 people, which must be more than enough to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Jin army whose morale has been weakened." ā€

"With such an arrangement by the king, our army will definitely be able to break through Yecheng and realize the great cause of the previous king as soon as possible." One of the ministers complimented loudly.

When Murong Jun heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, first a rain fell from the sky, and then his soldiers and horses broke through the defender of Lukou City, Wang Wu, and then, there was good news that the army of the country was breaking all the way, it can be said that in one day, three joys are coming, and Murong Jun can't be happy if he wants to.

"Report, Your Majesty, important news from the direction of Jiankang City." Just when Murong Jun was excitedly thinking about Sanxi's arrival, another junior colonel rushed into the main hall and hugged his fists.

Murong Jun was shocked when he heard this, and wondered if it would be the fourth happy event? Hurriedly asked: "What is the movement of the Jin Imperial Court, fast." ā€

Xiao Xiao clasped his fists and said: "King Qiqi, the Jin court has issued an order to canonize the Jin general Hua'an as the king of the north and Huan Wen as the king of the south, and the two envoys responsible for the canonization have set off." ā€

"What, the Jin court actually canonized these two people as kings, how is this possible." When Murong Jun heard this, he was greatly surprised, and he couldn't believe that it was true.

The reason why he did not immediately launch an attack on Yecheng was to wait for the turmoil in the Jin Kingdom, so as to take advantage of the fire to rob, and now, the Great Jin Dynasty officially canonized these two people as kings, which is enough to show that the Great Jin Dynasty has been soft and does not intend to set off a rebellion, and in this way, the Jin Kingdom will not be in turmoil, and the Great Yan Kingdom will not have the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Wang, I really didn't expect that the Jin Kingdom would get through this crisis so quickly, it seems that our army must step up preparations, otherwise, once the main force of the Jin army recovers its morale, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army." A minister said.

Murong Jun nodded again and again, and ordered: "Quick, immediately give the order, let all the soldiers and horses set off immediately, march to Xiangguo City, as long as 200,000 soldiers and horses are gathered, immediately launch an attack on Yecheng." ā€

"Yes, Your Majesty." When an official heard the order, he immediately went to give the order.

Murong Jun and his important ministers discussed a specific plan to attack Yecheng, and then the ministers left the palace one after another.

At this moment, Murong Jun's heart was more or less regretful, he regretted that he should not have let the main army attack Lukou City, so as to miss the best opportunity to attack Yecheng, at this moment, the morale of the main force of the Jin army is gradually recovering, and attacking one day later will increase the difficulty for the Yan army, therefore, it is necessary to launch an attack on Yecheng as much as possible, so as to severely damage the Wei and Jin coalition forces and capture Yecheng before the main force of the Jin army recovers its combat effectiveness.

######

In the direction of Yecheng, the army under Hua'an is gradually recovering its morale, and the letters sent back from Guanzhong and Shuzhong have made the soldiers no longer resentful, so that they can train more at ease, which makes Hua'an feel a lot more relieved.

Hua An believed that with more training and encouragement, the army under his command would soon be able to form a strong combat force, so that he would not have to fear the main army of the Yan State at all.

"Big brother, the news came back from the direction of Bingzhou, the 150,000 troops of the Daiguo country have driven straight in, and they have captured dozens of cities in a row, General Xie Ai has retreated all the way, and now he has retreated into Jinyang City." At this moment, Wang San rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

When Hua An heard this, he said softly: "This, the eldest brother already knows." ā€

Wang San was stunned when he heard this, and said anxiously: "Big brother, our army has lost dozens of cities in the direction of Bingzhou, General Xie has retreated again and again, and if it continues like this, Jinyang City will not be able to hold out for a few days." ā€

"You don't have to worry, General Xie is a famous general of Liangguo, didn't he just win a small victory a few days ago? As long as General Xie is here, Bingzhou will definitely not be lost. Hua An said affirmatively.

"Big brother believes in Xie Ai like that." Wang San said softly.

Hua An nodded and said, "I trust my own judgment, General Xie will definitely not let me down." After speaking, he looked at Wang San with a smile.

"Report, General Qiyu, the two armies of Yan State surrounded Lukou City, Wei General Wang Wu was defeated by the Yan army, Lukou City has been breached, General Wang Wu led some soldiers and soldiers to retreat to Yecheng, it is estimated that within three days, you can reach Yecheng." A small colonel rushed into the Chinese army's tent in Hua'an, clenched his fists and said.

"Big brother, I really can't imagine that the army of Yan Kingdom will break through Lukou City so quickly." When Wang San heard this, he said in surprise.

"It is not surprising that Wang Wu was trapped in Lukou City and was breached, but Wang Wu has done our army a great favor, so we still have to thank him?" Hua An said with a smile.

"Big brother, how can you say this?" Wang San asked puzzled.

Hua An said: "You want to! A few days ago, our army was disheartened, and it was the best time for the Yan army to attack Yecheng, but the main force of the Yan army abandoned Yecheng and attacked Lukou City, where General Wang Wu was stationed, so that our army had a chance to breathe, so as to gradually restore morale, you say, should we thank General Wang Wu? ā€

"What the eldest brother said is, should we really thank General Wang Wu well? Ha ha! He laughed. (To be continued......)
