When Wang Meng heard this, the corners of his mouth showed a satisfied smile, the construction of the generals was completely consistent with what he thought in his heart, at this moment, it was indeed difficult to reinforce Lukou City, and a raid on Gaoyang City north of Lukou was indeed a good means, in this way, it could not only defeat the Murong Ping army that was holding Gaoyang City, but also cut off the throat of Murong Ke's main army retreating north.

However, the main army of the Yan State under Murong Ke may quickly evacuate at any time, so Wang Meng's army must run to the direction of Gaoyang City as fast as possible, if it is one step later than Murong Ke, it will be wasted.

Wang Meng looked at several generals under his command and said loudly: "Generals, Anxi City is about two hundred miles away from Gaoyang City, our army must arrive in Gaoyang City within two days and immediately launch an attack on Gaoyang City, otherwise, it is very likely that all the Yan army will be calmly evacuated." ”

"What the general said is extremely true, we will definitely mobilize the soldiers with all our strength, and we will arrive in Gaoyang City within two days, and there will be no problem."

"General rest assured, we will go all out, and within two days, we will be able to reach Gaoyang City."

The ministries will say one after another.

Seeing that his subordinates were all warlike, Wang Meng nodded with satisfaction, and said with a straight face: "Pass the order, and the army will immediately set off and attack Gaoyang City." “

"Yes, General." The generals shouted the order, and immediately led their soldiers and horses to rush in the direction of Gaoyang City.

In the direction of Jicheng, the main army of 30,000 led by Tuoba Shiyiqian himself had arrived on the outskirts of Jicheng and immediately began to camp.

Now. Murong Jun, the king of Yan, has also ordered his important ministers to go to the camp of the Dai army and invite the acting king Tuoba Shiyiqian to enter the palace of the king of Yan.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Yan sent important ministers to invite the king to the palace." An acting general reminded softly.

Hearing this, Tuoba Shiyigan said softly: "I know, I will change into my dress and go to the palace with the minister of Yan State." After saying that, with the help of his subordinates, he changed into a shiny dress.

After walking out of the big tent of the Chinese army, the minister sent by Murong Jun, the king of Yan. I've been waiting for a long time. Tuoba Shiyiqian greeted him with a smile and made a great polite gesture.

"Acting King, Jicheng is guarded by the warriors of my Great Yan Kingdom, you don't need to bring so many warriors into the city." Seeing Tuoba Shiyiqian, he was followed by hundreds of soldiers on behalf of the country. The envoy of the Yan Kingdom reminded softly.

The generals under the command of Tuoba Shiyi Qianqian heard this. There was a little bit of anger on them. The envoy of the Yan State made such a request, which was clearly distrustful of the soldiers of the country, which was a defensive mentality.

But. Tuoba Shiyigan didn't care about this, and immediately ordered his soldiers to stay in the camp, and only led a dozen generals and fifty guards into Jicheng.

After entering Jicheng, Tuoba Shiyiqian and his entourage, under the leadership of the minister of Yan State, went directly to the Yan Palace, and soon arrived at the gate of the Yan Palace.

Murong Jun, the king of Yan, had already ordered his subordinates to open the gate of the Yan Palace, and was standing at the main gate of the Yan Palace, waiting for the arrival of Tuoba Shiyiqian.

Seeing that Murong Jun, the king of Yan, greeted him in person, Tuoba Shiyiqian was very happy, and stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "King Yan personally greets him, how can I bear this?" ”

Murong Jun, the king of Yan, smiled and said politely: "The acting king is here in person, how dare this king not come out to greet him in person?" Come, the king of the king, please. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and asked Tuoba Shiyigan to go to the main hall of the palace.

"Okay, King Yan, please." Tuoba Shiyiqian also stretched out his hand and said politely, and together with Murong Jun, the king of Yan, walked towards the main hall of the palace of the king of Yan.

The accompanying generals of Daiguo, all accompanied by the generals of Yan State, marched to the main hall, while fifty soldiers were arranged to another location in the palace and entertained alone.

In the main hall of the Yan Palace, after the acting king Tuoba Shiyiqian and the Yan king Murong Jun sat down, they complimented each other again, and then, the good wine and delicious food were served, and the two sides ate and drank for a while before they began to talk about business.

However, for the successive defeats of the Daiguo army and the loss of Shengle City, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, did not talk about it in order to save enough face for Tuoba Shiyiqian, and similarly, Tuoba Shiyiqian did not talk about the several defeats of the Yan army in Zhangshui, so as to save face for Murong Jun.

The main topic of discussion between the two sides is how to work together to resist the attack of the Jin army.

Tuoba Shiyiqian assured Murong Jun that he would definitely stand in the same trench as the Yan State, and said that in the direction of Bingzhou, the scattered men and horses under his command were gradually gathering, and it would not be long before the 50,000 horses would be gathered, so that there would be more forces to use against the Jin army.

Murong Jun, the king of Yan, said that although the Jin army in front of him exceeded the army of Yan, he was recruiting soldiers and horses at the moment, or in a few days, the new army of 50,000 Yan would be formed and immediately put into actual combat to block the continuous offensive of the main force of the Jin army.

On the topic of how to deal with the Jin army, Tuoba Shiyiqian had a pragmatic attitude, and Murong Jun gave up the land in the north of Jizhou and concentrated all his troops and horses to defend Youzhou, so that the supply line of the Jin army was stretched, while the Yan State was fighting with its back to the capital, which had many advantages.

Although Murong Jun was very reluctant to give up the northern territory of Jizhou that he had captured with great difficulty, after listening to Tuoba Shiyiqian's Jianyiqian, he suddenly realized that if he was blindly reluctant to give up, once the main army camp under his command collapsed due to defeat, not only the northern part of Jizhou would be lost, but even the entire Youzhou and Pingzhou would be lost.

Subsequently, Murong Jun urgently dispatched his henchmen to send an order to the Yan army camp on the north bank of Tuoshui, asking Murong Ke to immediately lead the troops to retreat, and withdraw to Fanyang City in the south of Youzhou with Murong Ping's soldiers and horses, and rely on the Yishui River in the south of Fanyang City to confront the main force of the Jin army that was pursuing.

Seeing that Murong Jun planned to hold on to Fanyang City in the south of Youzhou, Acting King Tuoba Shiyiqian immediately said that he would personally lead 30,000 soldiers under his command to reinforce Fanyang City and fight side by side with the main force of the Yan army.

With the help of Tuoba Shiyiqian's 30,000 troops, Murong Jun was very happy, and as a result, the strength of the Yan army was greatly enhanced, and the hope of blocking the Jin army's offensive was much greater.

At this moment, Murong Jun has made up his mind to put almost all the strength of the Yan State into the operation of encircling Fanyang City, and intends to withdraw Murong Ping, transfer the army under Murong Ping to Murong Ke's command, and the newly formed 50,000 recruits will also be allocated to Murong Ke, so that the soldiers and horses under the direct command of Murong Ke will be as high as more than 200,000, plus the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Dai Kingdom, compared with the Jin army, the difference in strength is not very large, and the hope of holding Fanyang City is still very great.

After being full of wine and food, the acting king Tuoba Shiyigan got up to say goodbye and left, and Murong Jun, the king of Yan, personally sent it to the palace gate of the Yan palace to show his respect for the acting king Tuoba Shiyiqian.

After Tuoba Shiyiqian left, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the main army under his command could reach Fanyang City safely, he could ensure the safety of Youzhou.

In the Dai army camp on the outskirts of Jicheng, after the Dai Wang Tuoba Shiyiqian returned to the camp, he immediately asked his soldiers to prepare for departure, and they wanted to immediately reinforce in the direction of Fan Yang City, so as to cooperate with the Yan army and block the attack of the Jin army.

And the reason why Tuoba Shiyigan wants to do his best to help Yan is naturally because once the Jin army defeats Yan, it will become extremely powerful, then, his desire to recover Shengle City and dominate the world will be completely unrealizable, and it is in the interests of Tuoba Shiyigan to support Yan against the Jin army.

After some preparations, early in the morning of the second day, Tuoba Shiyiqian led an army of 30,000 troops to Fanyang City in the south of Youzhou, preparing to arrive at Fanyang City as soon as possible and start building fortifications.

At the Yan army camp on the north bank of Tuoshui, Murong Ke, the commander of the Yan army, learned the news that Wang Meng's army had arrived in Zhongshan County, realized the urgency of the situation, and immediately issued an order for the officers and men of all armies to start evacuating.

"General, the king has just sent a decree asking our army to immediately withdraw to Fanyang City to hold on, and there must be no mistake." Just when Murong Ke's army had just begun to withdraw, Murong Jun's order was delivered in time.

When Murong Ke heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, his second brother finally understood the sinister nature of the current situation, which made him very pleased.

Seeing that Murong Jun ordered to retreat to Fanyang City, Murong Ba was also very happy, and after a pause, Murong Ba asked softly, "Fourth brother, our army is evacuated at this time, what if the Jin army crosses the river and chases after him?" ”

Murong Ke thought for a moment and said softly: "You don't have to worry, I have already made arrangements, if the Jin army is in hot pursuit, our army will definitely make the Jin army pay a painful price." After speaking, he looked at Murong Ba confidently.

Seeing that Murong Ke had already made a plan, Murong Ba was completely relieved, and immediately went to urge his soldiers and horses to retreat to the rear.

At this moment, in addition to immediately leading the army to retreat, Murong Ke also needed to be on guard against the main force of the Jin army suddenly crossing the river to launch a pursuit, so he urgently deployed 20,000 light cavalry on the north bank of Tuoshui.

The task of these 20,000 light cavalry was to block the possible pursuit of the Jin army across the river, and to serve as the rear guard of the whole army, and only after all the horses and horses had withdrawn could they evacuate to the north.

The main army of the Yan State began to withdraw to the north, and such a large-scale operation was naturally quickly discovered by the Jin army scouts, and immediately reported to Hua'an.

Knowing that the main force of Murong Ke's Yan army had begun to retreat one after another, Hua An hurriedly led his subordinates to the high platform on the south bank of the river to observe the situation on the north bank.

Standing on the high platform on the south bank, Hua'an could clearly see the main army of the Yan State on the north bank of Tuoshui, which was evacuating, and the cavalry of the Yan army deployed on the shore.

"Your Majesty, the main army of the Yan Kingdom has begun to evacuate, and our army should immediately launch a pursuit." Deng Qiang pleaded loudly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the cavalry of the Yan Army deployed along the coast is the opponent of our army's Moon Formation. Chen Poyu said loudly. (To be continued......)
