At a position fifty miles away from Anxi City, Murong Ke's 100,000 main forces set up camp and prepared to rest for a day before continuing to march towards Zhongshan County.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Murong Ke seemed a little worried, the big war was imminent, and he was worried not only about Ran Min's 8,000 elite army, but also about the Jin army south of Bingzhou and the Yellow River.

Nowadays, most of the area of Bingzhou is occupied by the Jin army, Sizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou south of the Yellow River are stationed in a large number of Jin troops, behind the Wei State, hundreds of thousands of Jin troops are eyeing the tiger, although Murong Ke is confident that he can defeat Ran Min and destroy the Wei State, but in this way, the Yan army is bound to be lost, and once the main force of the Jin army takes advantage of the weakness, the Hebei area obtained by the Great Yan State at a huge cost has become the bag of the Great Jin, and this kind of sacrificing himself to make wedding dresses for others is a thing, Of course, Murong Ke was extremely reluctant to do it.

"Fourth brother, what are you worried about?" Seeing Murong Ke's brows frowning into a big pimple, Murong Ba asked softly.

Murong Ke breathed a sigh of helplessness, and said, "My Great Yan Kingdom has spent a huge price, even if I can defeat Ran Min, I'm afraid it will be a wedding dress for someone else!" ”

"Make wedding dresses for others, the fourth brother is talking about the Jin Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River!" Murong Ba Zhengse said.

Murong Ke nodded, looked at Murong Ba, and said, "That's right, what I'm most worried about is not Ran Min, but the main force of the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops south of Bingzhou and the Yellow River!" According to the detailed report, the main force of the Jin army south of the Yellow River is 300,000 horses, and the 100,000 Jin soldiers and horses in Bingzhou are not to be underestimated. With this person stationed in the state and the army, it is a great threat to my Dayan Kingdom, and this person has to guard against it! ”

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, the fourth brother, my Dayan Kingdom and Ran Min fought a bloody battle, but the main force of the Jin army watched from the wall, which clearly made it clear that I wanted my Dayan Kingdom and Ran Min to attack each other and lose both, and then, they would sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, no. I, Dayanguo, can't make a wedding dress for the Jin army. It's better to discuss with the second brother, retire for the time being, and then think of a good strategy. Murong Ba said loudly.

Murong Ke nodded and said loudly: "The main army will not move for the time being. You rush to Jicheng. Inform the second brother of the enemy. The second brother will definitely have a way to deal with it. ”

Murong Ba was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Fourth brother, what will the second brother do?" ”

Murong Ke smiled. replied: "Don't ask so much, you will know when you see the second brother, time is pressing, you have to go back quickly, and you must not delay for a moment." ”

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I'll set off." Murong Ba took the order and left the big tent of the Chinese army.

Subsequently, Murong Ba led a personal guard of nearly 100 people and rushed to the direction of Jicheng at the fastest speed.

After Murong Ba left, Murong Ke only sent a few dozen scouts to the direction of Zhongshan to explore Ran Min's reality, and the main army was stationed in place and did not move at all.

Murong Ke sent scouts to investigate Ran Min's reality, and Ran Min naturally also sent scouts to closely watch Murong Ke's every move, seeing that Murong Ke's main army was stationed fifty miles east of Anxi City, and had not moved in the slightest for many days, Ran Min felt very strange, and the generals of the beggar army under his command did not understand Murong Ke's intentions.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the last general, Murong Ke, this kid is scared, and his legs are weak, haha!" A beggar army general laughed and teased.

"Hahaha!" All the beggar generals laughed along.

Ran Min looked at the generals under his command and said loudly: "Murong Ke is not moving, most likely to probe the reality of our army, but since Murong Ke is temporarily holding his troops, then our army can rest assured that it is good to collect food, and in addition, send more scouts to keep an eye on Murong Ke's main army." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals clenched their fists and received their orders.

Subsequently, Ran Min and his 8,000 beggar guards collected the grain and grass needed by the army near Anxi City and Weichang City to prepare for the eastward march of the army.

In the main hall of the Yanwang Mansion in Jicheng, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, was discussing state affairs with several old ministers, Murong Ba suddenly arrived and broke into the main hall in a hurry.

Seeing Murong Ba breaking into the main hall in a panic, Murong Jun was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, didn't you order you to go to Zhongshan County and exterminate Ran Min?" How did you get back to Jicheng? After speaking, his eyes glared at Murong Ba, and there was a slight trace of anger in his heart.

"The second brother is angry, the fourth brother asked me to come back, I have something important to report." Murong Ba clenched his fists and said.

Murong Jun's anger decreased slightly, and he asked, "Fifth brother, if there is something important, you can say it quickly!" ”

Murong Ba hugged his fists and said: "Second brother, according to the latest detailed report, the main force of the Yangzhou Army of the Jin Army has arrived in Yanzhou, the Yangzhou Army has also entered Qingzhou, and the famous general Xie Ai of the Liang State has led 100,000 troops, which has occupied most of the Bingzhou and entered the Xinxing County of Bingzhou. After speaking, he looked at Murong Jun.

When Murong Jun heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said softly: "Why, the army of the Jin State has also launched an attack on the Wei State, and it has occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou so quickly, it is fast enough!" After speaking, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Second brother, it was not the Jin State that launched an attack on the Wei State, but the generals such as Zhou Cheng and Zhang Yu south of the Yellow River of the Wei State all surrendered to the Jin State, and the Jin army got nearly half of the land of the Wei State without spending a single soldier, and now, the Jin army south of the Yellow River has 300,000 soldiers and horses, which should not be underestimated!" Murong Ba said truthfully.

When Murong Jun heard this, he was furious in his heart, and said angrily: "How can this be true, the main force of our army has been unable to conquer under Lukou City for a long time and has lost a large number of men and horses, but the Jin army can easily recruit the generals of Wei and obtain such a large piece of land without a single soldier, it is really angry with this king, why is this?" Why? ”

"The king doesn't have to be angry, my Dayan Kingdom will dominate the world sooner or later." An old minister hugged his fists and comforted.

Murong Jun looked at Murong Ba and asked, "Fifth brother, fourth brother asked you to come back, is it just to sue me about this?" There was a slight anger in his tone.

"Second brother, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and my Dayan Kingdom must be on guard against the Jin army! The fourth brother said that in the face of this unfavorable situation, the second brother will definitely have a way to resolve it, so let me come to ask for advice. Murong Ba said truthfully.

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Jin army sits on and watches the tiger fight, the intention is indeed very suspicious, it is not difficult for my Great Yan Kingdom to defeat Ran Min, but it will definitely suffer a lot of losses, at this time, if the main force of the Jin Army takes advantage of the weakness, it will be extremely unfavorable to my Great Yan Kingdom! The matter of defeating Ran Min must be considered in the long run. "An old minister, clenching his fists.

When Murong Jun heard this, he fell into deep thought, after decades of continuous development and growth, the strength of the Great Yan Kingdom was enough to defeat the hungry and exhausted Ran Min regime, but after defeating Ran Min, he would not be able to face the hundreds of thousands of main soldiers and horses of the Jin army alone, and for this, he felt a headache.

Seeing that Murong Jun was in distress, an old minister clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, my Dayan must not let the Jin army take advantage of the fisherman, it is better to return the main army to Youzhou for the time being, so that Ran Min will free up his hands and march south of the Yellow River to recover the territory occupied by the Jin army, I don't know, what does the king think?" ”

Murong Jun said angrily: "How do you know, after the main army of my Great Yan Kingdom retreats to Youzhou, Ran Min will definitely send troops south of the Yellow River, if Ran Min and the Jin Kingdom take the Yellow River as the boundary and recuperate in Hebei, after a few years, Ran Min will have all the food and food, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to my Great Yan Kingdom." ”

"Yes! Second brother, Ran Min is brave and good at fighting, it is extremely difficult to deal with, if he is allowed to recuperate, after a few years, it is really difficult to predict what the situation in Hebei will be, so Ran Min must not be allowed to have a chance to recuperate, and the main army cannot evacuate Jizhou. Murong Ba hurriedly said.

When a minister heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, with the strength of my Great Yan Kingdom, it is already a little difficult to fight against Ran Min alone, if you want to guard against the threat of the Jin army, you must have more soldiers and horses, if the country can fight side by side with our army, you will definitely be able to defeat Ran Min quickly, and you will have enough strength to deal with the threat of the Jin army after the war." ”

"Yes! Wangshang, in recent years, under the leadership of Daiwang Tuoba Shi Yijian, Daiguo has successively subdued the Baibu, Dugubu, Gaoche Zhubu, Tiefu Ministry, Ding Lingbu and other people, the strength is not what it used to be, there are more than 100,000 standing troops under his command, and the reserve is not less than 100,000. Another minister said.

Hearing this, Murong Jun nodded, and said softly: "Acting King Tuoba Shi Yijian is a hero, if you want to persuade him to send troops, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing!" ”

"The king doesn't have to worry, my Great Yan Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom are related by marriage, besides, the 100,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom have occupied most of the land in the state, and it is not far from Shengle, the capital of the Dai Kingdom, I believe that the Dai King will be willing to form an alliance with my Great Yan Kingdom to jointly deal with the threat of the Jin Kingdom." An old minister said.

"Second brother, it is better to immediately send an envoy to Shengle City, form an alliance with Daiguo, and ask the Daiwang to send a large army to the south with our army." Murong Ba said loudly.

Murong Jun nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said: "You are right, at the moment, forming an alliance with Daiguo is the only way out for my Dayan Kingdom, this matter is so decided, fifth brother, you immediately return to the camp, let the fourth brother stand still for the time being, in order to wait for the reinforcements of Daiguo, Yang Wu, you personally go to Shengle Palace to discuss the alliance with the acting king." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Second brother, don't worry! I'll go back to the camp. ”

Yang Wu and Murong Ba successively received orders.

"Report, Your Majesty, the envoy of the country has entered Jicheng." At this moment, the news came that the envoy of the country had entered Jicheng.

Murong Jun and his ministers were overjoyed when they heard this, and guessed that the arrival of the envoy on behalf of the country must be related to the threat of the Jin army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come with this king to meet the envoy of the country." Murong Jun said, strode out of the main hall, and outside the main hall, personally waiting for the arrival of the envoy of the country. (To be continued......)
