The generals under the command of Hua'an were very happy to see that Murong Jun had agreed to negotiate peace, although the morale of the soldiers of the Jin army was still strong, but after all, after several months of continuous fighting, the soldiers were also a little tired, especially the Yan army's water control defense line was extremely solid, and in the case of a setback in the attack, the soldiers naturally hoped that they could stop the army and rest for a while.

Subsequently, Hua'an began to assign specific steps for the withdrawal of troops, and after the generals returned to the camp, they immediately instructed their officers and men to make active preparations before the withdrawal.

In the afternoon of the second day, the main force under Hua'an's command had been ready to withdraw the army, and under Hua'an's order, the baggage troops first withdrew to the south, followed by the main infantry, then the charioteers, and the cavalry set off last.

As the elite of the whole army, the 10,000 personal guards under the personal command of Wang San were the last to withdraw from the south bank of the water.

Before the evacuation of the soldiers of the pro-guard army, Hua An and Wang San, riding their horses, stood on the south bank of the water, looked at the Yan State camp on the north bank, and fell into deep thought.

Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, is close at hand, but Hua'an and his hundreds of thousands of troops can't break through it, and even the water control defense line can't break through, which more or less makes Hua'an a little regretful, but at this moment the situation in the direction of Jiankang City is more tricky, for this reason, Hua'an must abandon the plan to attack Jicheng, and immediately lead the army back to the south of the Yellow River to deal with the situation in the direction of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, according to the scout's report, the Yan army has not made any changes, and it seems that there is no intention of pursuing our army." Wang San said softly.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Our army has many soldiers and horses, Murong Ke is self-aware, and most of them will not rashly pursue our army, but there are exceptions to everything, no matter whether the Yan army launches a pursuit or not, our army cannot relax its vigilance." so as not to suffer huge losses. ”

"What the king said is very true, right now, my main army has withdrawn to control the water, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to return here!" Wang San said with emotion, obviously, the Jin army failed to break through Jicheng. Wang San also has some regrets.

Hua'an looked in the direction of the north bank and said softly: "Shuzhong, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Sizhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou have all been recovered by our army, and Yan has succumbed to Youzhou and Pingzhou, and its strength development is limited, and sooner or later it will be taken by our army. Also take it together. ”

"The king has such ambition that he will follow it all his life." The king said with a loud voice his loyalty.

Hua An nodded with satisfaction, looked at the figure on the high platform on the opposite bank, suddenly stunned slightly, and said softly: "The figure on the high platform on the other side is most likely Murong Ke." ”

Although, it is impossible to see the appearance clearly through the water, but from the whole body of the shining armor and the robe fluttering in the wind. This can be determined by the accompaniment of numerous generals in attire.

Wang San raised his eyes and looked. nodded, and said softly: "That's right, Your Majesty, the general on the high platform on the other side is indeed very likely to be Murong Ke, I don't know if he saw our army withdrawing." How will you feel? ”

Hua An kept staring at Murong Ke's location and said softly: "Murong Ke's mood should be very complicated!" Our army took the initiative to evacuate and save the army under his command from another defeat, Murong Ke must have felt a little lucky, but our army was not defeated by him after all. This will make him a little regretful. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, Murong Ke's mood is complicated enough, haha! Wang San laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!" Seeing Wang San's size, Hua An also laughed loudly.

On the north bank of the water control, the generals of the Yan army who were looking at the south bank from the high platform were indeed Murong Ke and his subordinates, and at this moment, they wanted to verify the departure of the main force of the Jin army with their own eyes.

"Fourth brother, the main forces of the Jin army have left one after another, and this is already the last one." Murong Ba looked at Murong Ke and said softly.

Murong Ke nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right, the main force of the Jin army has all been evacuated, and my Great Yan Kingdom can also breathe a sigh of relief." After speaking, a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

"Report, general, news has just been sent back from the direction of Jiankang City, Huan Wen, the southern king of the Jin Kingdom, impeached Shi Yinhao, the assassin of Jinyangzhou, on charges of crusading against the rebels and repeated defeats, and sent troops to approach Jiankang City and coerce the Jin court." At this moment, the detailed work sent by Murong Ke to Jiankang City sent back important information.

When Murong Ke heard this, he nodded, looked at his subordinates, and said softly: "No wonder Hua'an is in a hurry to return south, it turns out that something happened in the direction of the Great Jin Imperial Court, which has to be said to be a good thing for my Great Yan Kingdom!" ”

"Fourth brother, almost all the military strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is in the hands of the Southern King and the Northern King, if there is a big war between these two, the Great Jin Dynasty is bound to be completely decayed, so that my Great Yan Kingdom will have the opportunity to recapture Jizhou, and even the whole world!" Murong Ba said excitedly.

"Yes! General, when the rebellion of the eight kings occurred in the Jin Kingdom, the national strength was exhausted, so it caused Liu Yuan, Shi Le and others to dominate the Central Plains, and now, if there is a large-scale bloody battle between the southern king and the northern king, my Great Yan Kingdom should have the opportunity to win the Central Plains. A general of the Yan Kingdom said excitedly.

When Murong Ke heard this, he was also more pleased, and said loudly: "The construction of the Great Jin Dynasty is very good, although the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is strong now, but the royal family is weak, and the military power is all in the hands of the generals, especially the Southern King and the Northern King, each with hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as the Great Jin Kingdom provokes a great war between the Southern King and the Northern King, the Great Jin Kingdom will inevitably decline rapidly again, in this way, my Great Yan Kingdom is the master of this world." After speaking, he looked intoxicated at the south bank of the water.

Obviously, Murong Ke thought that Huan Wen coerced the imperial court and Hua An led the army to return south, and these two things were inevitably related, and this was the opportunity he could take advantage of.

Subsequently, Murong Ke and several henchmen studied how to provoke the relationship between Hua'an and Huan Wen, so that the Great Jin Dynasty was completely plunged into civil strife, and then reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

In Lanling City in Xuzhou, the 50,000 troops under Yin Hao had completely surrounded Lanling City, and immediately launched several rounds of fierce attacks.

But Lanling City is not as easy to break as Yin Hao thought, Li Ben and the five thousand beggar troops under his command are the elite of a hundred battles, they will arrange Lanling City like an iron bucket, no matter how the Yangzhou army under Yin Hao attacked, it was impossible to break through, and moreover, it suffered a lot of losses.

After all, at this time, Huan Wen has tried his best to impeach himself, this battle is related to his own future, if he can't break through Lanling City and save a little face, even if the court wants to exonerate himself, I'm afraid it won't work.

In order to break through Lanling City as soon as possible, Yin Hao scattered the 50,000 troops under his command around Lanling City, among them, Yin Hao personally led the troops to attack the south gate of 20,000 troops, and the rest of the city gates were 10,000 troops.

Repeatedly unable to break through Lanling City, the soldiers under Yin Hao's command were already a little discouraged, and thought that this attack was going to be defeated again, and Yin Hao, as the main general, had no way to deal with the low feelings of the soldiers.

Compared with the low morale of Yin Hao's army, Li Ben and the 5,000 beggars under his command became more and more courageous, and they were still full of great fighting spirit when they were surrounded by ten times the Jin army, and decided to teach Yin Hao a hard lesson.

In the evening, Li Ben and several of his generals gathered together to discuss the counterattack against Yin Hao's army.

According to the characteristics of Yin Hao's army to encircle the city in four ways, they decided to concentrate their forces, raid one of the roads, and break this way, in order to teach Yin Hao a hard lesson.

In order to find out the weakest part of Yin Hao's army, Li Ben sent scouts under his command to the battalions of the Jin army to investigate the situation.

You must know that at this moment, the four-way men and horses under Yin Hao's command, with 10,000 horses at the west gate, are the weakest in combat effectiveness, there are 20,000 troops at the south gate, and the troops are relatively strong, and Wang Wu and Wang Liu at the east gate and the north gate are also quite famous, and they are not too easy to deal with, only the 10,000 horses of Yin Hao's heart and abdomen at the west gate are the softest persimmons.

In order to prevent the main army from attacking outside the west gate, the rest of the Jin army suddenly launched a siege battle, Li Ben only led 3,000 elite beggar troops under his command to attack, and the remaining 2,000 men and horses were all responsible for defending the city, so as to avoid Lanling City being broken by the Jin army.

Li Ben personally led 3,000 men and horses to fight, while Yin Hao's henchmen and generals had 10,000 horses outside the West Gate, and the strength was more than three times that of Li Ben, but Yin Hao's henchmen and generals did not have much actual combat experience, and the soldiers under his command had not practiced for a long time, so Li Ben was not afraid of the Jin army outside the city at all, and was full of confidence in victory.

After dark, Li Ben and his 3,000 beggar troops had already assembled in the west gate of Lanling City one after another, and set up an ambush, waiting for the moment to attack.

An hour later, a subordinate general rushed to Li Ben's side, hugged his fists and said: "General, the Jin army's camp is lax, most of the soldiers have entered the camp to rest, and there are less than five hundred soldiers in charge of guarding. ”

Li Ben was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Yin Hao is not strict in governing the army, and he employs people nepotism, how can he not be defeated again and again, and the soldiers are ready to kill with the generals." After speaking, he motioned to his subordinates and immediately went to open the city gate.

The subordinates understood, and immediately led several soldiers to run behind the city gate.

"Click, click, click......" With the sound of the wheel and axle turning, the west gate of Lanling City was slowly opened.

Seeing that the city gate had been opened, Li Ben immediately stepped on his war horse and shouted: "Soldiers, follow the generals to kill, break the Jin army, and kill ......" After speaking, he rode his horse and killed outside the city.

"Kill ......" 3,000 soldiers of the beggar army, followed behind Li Ben, and killed in the direction of the Jin army camp at the fastest speed. (To be continued......)
