Chapter 947: Murong De

Murong Jun looked at the courtiers in the main hall and said worriedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that my Great Yan Kingdom is facing the threat of Yan Zhan, and Yao Xiang plans to take refuge in Goguryeo, if the King of Goguryeo suddenly attacks my Great Yan Kingdom from behind at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Obviously, after so many years, Murong Jun learned that Goguryeo's strength had increased greatly, and that the king of Goguryeo was very arrogant, always regarded himself as a noble ethnic line, and had very great ambitions, and was the most likely country to launch an attack on Yan.

"The king doesn't have to worry, Goguryeo has long been afraid of my Great Yan Kingdom, I believe that they will not dare to attack my Great Yan Kingdom at all, besides, if Goguryeo is really so bold, my Great Yan Kingdom would rather give up Youzhou, but also lead the whole country to completely destroy Goguryeo, so that this country will disappear completely." A courtier said loudly.

"Your Majesty, we have to guard against Goguryeo, but now that my Dayan Kingdom is short of soldiers and horses, we should still appease Goguryeo, if we can form an alliance with Goguryeo, it will be of great benefit to our Dayan Kingdom!" Another minister said.

Obviously, different ministers had different opinions on the issue of Goguryeo.

In this case, Murong Jun naturally leaned towards the opinion of the second minister, and planned to reconcile with Goguryeo, and persuaded Goguryeo to resist the northward advance of Wang Wu's army with his Liaodong soldiers and horses with the reason that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

"I feel that after all these years of recuperation, Goguryeo's strength has been greatly enhanced, if I turn against Goguryeo at this time, the pressure on my Dayan Kingdom will be too great, so it's better to try my best to win it over." Murong Jun said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go to Dumaru City and persuade the King of Goguryeo to form an alliance with my Great Yan Kingdom and jointly fight against Wang Wu's army." Murong De said loudly.

At this time, Murong De was only a teenager. is not yet fully adult, but he is already quite prestigious, and he is also the youngest uncle of Murong Jun, the king of Yan, who is higher than Murong Jun in terms of seniority.

When Murong Jun heard this, he looked at Murong De. Zhengse said: "Uncle Wang is really sure to convince the King of Goguryeo?" ”

Obviously, for this very young Uncle Wang, Murong Jun didn't trust him very much, after all, being young means having less experience, and those who are inexperienced are naturally difficult to complete important missions.

Murong De hugged his fists and said: "As long as the king gives me this opportunity, Wechen will definitely be able to complete the task, please trust Wechen." ”

Obviously, although Murong De is very young, he has a lot of ambition. And believe that you can get the job done.

When Murong Jun heard this, he nodded happily, and said, "Okay, Uncle Wang will set off tomorrow and go to Goguryeo to persuade the king of Goguryeo to form an alliance with my Yan Kingdom, and if you meet Yao Xiang." You can sue him, and the king understands what he has done. And he didn't mean to blame him at all, and asked him to urge my Dayan to form an alliance with Goguryeo. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have memorized it, and I will definitely be able to complete this task." Murong De said confidently.

Subsequently. Murong Jun also consulted with his courtiers about other important military situations, and sent his most elite personal soldiers to protect Murong De to Goguryeo.

After a night of preparation, the next morning. Murong De led a team of soldiers and horses, left Jicheng, and ran towards the direction of Du Maru City at the fastest speed, in order to speed up the speed of the march as much as possible, the team was equipped with two horses, so that the rotation of riding could maximize the speed of the march.

On the north bank of Yishui, Murong Ke's Chinese army tent, the main general Murong Ke and his subordinates, all gathered together to discuss important military information, yesterday, Xie Ai's army launched two rounds of medium-sized combat operations to force the crossing of Yishui, however, it was repelled by the Yan army, but this action sent a clear signal, that is, Xie Ai's army has planned to break through Yishui, and drove straight in, and this naturally also attracted great attention from Murong Ke and other Yan generals, after all, if the Yishui defense line is broken, The gateway to Youzhou was opened.

"General, the enemy launched two rounds of forced crossing operations in succession yesterday, although they were repelled by our army, but this has completely demonstrated the attitude of the enemy army, it seems that the enemy army will not stop until it breaks through Yishui." A subordinate general looked at Murong Ke and said.

"Yes! General, the enemy is determined to break through the Yishui defense line! Another subordinate chimed in.

Obviously, the generals under Murong Ke's command were all aware of this and were deeply worried.

Murong Ke thought for a moment, looked at his subordinate generals, and said: "Generals, don't worry, the enemy's main force has been driving straight for more than a thousand miles, the logistical pressure has gradually increased, and the advantage is no longer obvious, if the enemy wants to break through our army's Yishui defense line, it is definitely not an easy thing, our army has enough strength to hold the Yishui defense line." ”

Obviously, Murong Ke is full of confidence in holding the Yishui defense line, and believes that as long as he works hard, the Yishui defense line is an unbreakable and solid defense line.

"The general is right, as long as the officers and men of our army are united, they can completely hold the Yishui defense line and ensure that Youzhou does not fall into the hands of the enemy." One of the generals chimed in.

"General, now, our army is firmly established, but the treasury is empty, if the enemy continues to confront our army on the south bank of Yishui, it will be a great drain on the national strength of our Great Yan Kingdom!" A general in charge of logistics said worriedly.

When Murong Ke heard this, he nodded, and said: "What you said is that the general also has concerns in this regard, if the confrontation continues, the national strength of my Great Yan Kingdom will be completely dragged down, but if our army gives up the Yishui defense line, the enemy army will drive straight in, and the consequences will become more severe, so no matter what, our army must do its best to defend the Yishui defense line, and we must not let the Yishui defense line be broken by the enemy." ”

"Yes, General, I'll do my best." The generals said excitedly.

"The general doesn't have to worry too much, the confrontation between the main forces of the two armies is a huge drain on the national strength of our Great Yan Kingdom, and the consumption of the enemy army must be even greater, so there is no need to worry too much at all." One of the generals said loudly.

Obviously, this general felt that Xie Ai commanded so many soldiers and horses, the daily need of grain and grass is a large amount, and Xie Ai's soldiers and horses need grain and grass, Hebei direction can not be fully provided, most of the grain and grass also rely on the reinforcement of Guanzhong, so, continuous long-distance transportation, Hua'an's strength is also a great test, of course, he would not have thought that Hua'an has sent Li Shuqu in Hebei to carry out large-scale water conservancy construction, so, in a very short period of time, Hebei's grain can not only be self-sufficient, and, can also be a good supply of the army, so that the soldiers and horses of the Xie Ai Legion can get enough food and grass nearby, and then effortlessly gain a foothold on the south bank of Yishui.

Murong Ke nodded, and said with a straight face: "Now, our army is already at a disadvantage, if we can do our best to negotiate peace with the enemy army." ”

"What the general said is, however, only by first frustrating the enemy's spirit, can the enemy army negotiate peace with my Dayan Kingdom!" A subordinate general said.

Murong Ke nodded and said, "What I said is that as long as our army can hold the Yishui defense line, the enemy army will realize that the army of our Great Yan Kingdom still has strong combat effectiveness, so that they will willingly negotiate peace with me." ”

All the generals nodded in approval.

Subsequently, Murong Ke discussed with his subordinates how to deal with Xie Ai's army's forced crossing of Yishui.

######

In the camp of Xie Ai's army on the south bank of Yishui, Xie Ai and his subordinates were standing on a high platform in the camp and looking in the direction of Yishui.

Standing on the top of the high platform, you can see most of the deployment of the entire Yishui defense line, which can be described as an excellent command and reconnaissance platform.

"General, you see, now the deployment of our army and the deployment of the enemy army have shown a-for-tat situation, if our army wants to break through the Yishui defense line, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing!" A general looked at the Yan army camp on the north bank of Yishui and said loudly.

When Xie Ai heard this, he smiled slightly, and said: "You are right, the army of Yan has deployed a thorough defense on the north bank of Yishui, and yesterday, the two exploratory attacks sent by this general were completely defeated, which is enough to show that the defense of the Yan army is very tight, and it is difficult for our army to break through the defense line of Yishui in a short time." ”

Obviously, Xie Aitong Guò tried twice, and had learned about the deployment of the Yan army on the north bank of Yishui, and came to the conclusion that it would not be possible to break through the Yishui defense line in a short time.

"General, since the Yishui defense line is difficult to break, should our army take a detour back to the rear of the Yan army? In this way, it will definitely be able to catch the Yan army by surprise. A subordinate general said softly.

At the beginning, when Hua An personally led the main army to confront the soldiers and horses of the Yan State in Yishui, the soldiers and horses under the command of Xie Ai and Wang Meng suddenly appeared from behind the Yan army, so as to defeat the army of the Yan State, so it was naturally a very good strategy to detour behind the enemy.

Xie Ai thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It is naturally a clever plan to detour behind the enemy, but at the moment, every action of our army is under the nose of the Yan army, as long as our army sends some soldiers and horses to the upstream direction, the Yan scouts can immediately find out, in this way, they will definitely make a strategy to deal with it, and our army is responsible for the roundabout soldiers and horses, if there are too few, it is not enough to deter the Yan army, if there are too many, it will be difficult for the Yan soldiers and horses on the other side of the river, so it is not feasible to detour behind the enemy." ”

"Then with the general's intentions, how should our army deal with the Yan army at the moment?" The general asked softly.

Xie Ai thought for a while, and said: "Our army doesn't need to be in a hurry, as long as we stay here in Yishui and confront the main army of Yan State, in this way, the national strength of Yan State will gradually be dragged down." (To be continued......)
