Seeing that Hua An'an had made up his mind, Zhang Yu couldn't say anything, but he reminded Hua An that if the imperial court kept pressing step by step, he must not sit still and die in anger like Zu Li, and when necessary, he could solve the problem by thunderous means.

Hua An naturally would not die of grief, so he nodded and agreed to Zhang Yu, and asked Zhang Yu to probe the tone of the generals under his command to see what his subordinates had to say about the decision of the imperial court, so as to determine the next course of action.

######

In the palace of Jicheng, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, did not look very good, in fact, since he learned that the Jin army had reinforced Yecheng and blocked the army under his command from moving south, he had not been in a good mood.

Although Murong Jun believed that the warriors of the Great Yan Kingdom were extremely good at war, and he himself was very ambitious, he still did not dare to order an attack on Yecheng for the sake of safety.

At present, the main force of Yan has entered Jizhou, among them, Murong Ke's troops and horses have occupied the strategic Xiangguo, only about two hundred miles away from Yecheng, cavalry raid, two days can reach Yecheng, Murong Ping led the army, also arranged in the direction of Lukou, the Wei general Wang Wu suppressed the immobile, had to rely on Lukou City to defend it.

The army of Yan formed an absolute advantage over Wei, but the Jin army of more than 100,000 men and horses suddenly reinforced Yecheng, so that Murong Jun's plan to pacify Hebei was completely disrupted. He has never dared to make up his mind to turn against the Jin army, and he originally planned to claim the title of emperor after occupying Hebei, but he also did not dare to think about it again.

At this moment, Murong Jun stood in front of the topographic map of Jizhou, and according to the layout of each army, he analyzed the strategy to break the deadlock in Jizhou, and the army of Yan under his command had occupied part of the central and northern parts of Jizhou, and Murong Ke's army had arrived in Xiangguo City in Sizhou.

However, although Murong Ke's army advanced quickly, it formed a lone army to go deep. The disadvantageous situation of the two wings being surrounded. Directly in front of Murong Ke's army, there were naturally the Jiang Gan Legion and the Hua'an Legion in Yecheng, while behind Murong Ke's two wings were the Suhai Legion and the Wang Wu Legion, that is. Su Hai, Wang Wu, and Jiang Gan three armies. Hold on to three cities. The main army of Murong Ke formed a zigzag encirclement in three directions.

Of course, in Murong Jun's opinion, the Wei army was not to be feared at all. Moreover, Su Hai was contained by Zhang Jin and Cao Fu in Changshan, and Wang Wu was also restrained by Murong Ping in Lukou, Murong Ke's main army could completely ignore the threat of the left and right flanks, and directly take the frontal enemy seriously, just rely on Jiang Gan, who stayed in Yecheng, was not the opponent of the Yan army at all, but Jiang Gan was a vassal to the Great Jin Dynasty one step earlier, and invited the main army under Hua'an, so that the Yan army would become extremely difficult to attack Yecheng, and even, it would be a huge military adventure.

Seeing that Murong Jun had been frowning, Minister Yang Wu hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, at present, a comprehensive confrontation situation has been formed in the area of Jizhou and Bingzhou, the army of Daiguo was pinned down by Xie Ai's army and could not reinforce Jizhou, Cao Fu and Zhang Jin, who surrendered to our army, contained the soldiers and horses of the Wei army Suhai, and the men and horses of the auxiliary general were even more pressed to the Wei general Wang Wu could not move, and the main force of the auxiliary general was confronted by the Jin and Wei coalition forces, and the confrontation between the four roads and horses has formed a dead chess, at this time, what is consumed is patience and national strength, After so many years of accumulation, my Great Yan Kingdom has become more and more powerful, and I can afford to spend it, so the king doesn't have to worry too much. ”

When Murong Jun heard this, he was a little displeased, and said: "There is some truth in what Aiqing said, but look, it is not a way to consume it like this, our army must break this deadlock and occupy all of Jizhou as much as possible, so that we can further expand the strength of my Dayan, and then dominate the world." ”

"Wang Shangxiong's talent is strategic, it is really the blessing of my Great Yan Kingdom, and Weichen will do his best to find a breakthrough to crack this flag of death." Yang Wu clenched his fists and said.

Murong Jun pointed to the direction of the middle road and said loudly: "The main force of our army in Xiangguo has 130,000 soldiers and horses, and according to the scouts, around Yecheng, Jiang Gan has gathered 50,000 troops, and the reinforced Jin army has 110,000 horses, and the two armies have a total of 160,000 troops, which is 30,000 more than the main force of our army. ”

"Does the king mean to send reinforcements from the rear to increase the strength of our army to more than 160,000, so as to overwhelm the Jin and Wei coalition forces in terms of troops?" Yang Wu hurriedly asked.

Murong Jun shook his head and said softly: "No, no, no, if all the reserve soldiers and horses are pressed, the rear of our army will be empty, and the army in front will also lack backing." ”

"If it weren't for the increase in troops, what did the king mean?" Yang Wu asked with some curiosity.

Murong Jun hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "What's the situation with Ran Min, is he still unwilling to surrender?" ”

When Yang Wu heard this, he immediately understood what Murong Jun meant, it turned out that Murong Jun's intention was to persuade Ran Min to surrender, so that the 100,000 Wei army in Jizhou would surrender to Yan, so that Murong Jun's 50,000 army could be drawn out to reinforce Murong Ke's main army, thus forming a 180,000 main army, and the surrender of Jiang Gan, Wang Wu, Su Hai and other soldiers and horses could form an elite army of 100,000 for him to drive, so that Murong Jun's southward army would have a strong strength of 280,000, So many troops are enough to defeat Hua'an, and first fully occupy Jizhou and Sizhou north of the Yellow River, and then, you can fight with Daiguo on both sides, with several times the number of soldiers and horses to break the Xie Ai legion, and then let the Daiguo army occupy all the annexed states, so that after several years of recuperation, the Yan Dynasty coalition army can continue to go south, all the way west into Guanzhong, all the way south to Jiangnan, and finally get rid of Daiguo, the establishment of a unified Dayan Empire.

Although Murong Jun's idea was good, Yang Wu secretly shook his head, and clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Ran Min is a hard bone, and he will not surrender to the death, I am afraid that the king's plan to surrender will not succeed." ”

was poured a basin of cold water on his head, Murong Jun looked very unhappy, looked at Yang Wu, and said loudly: "This king risked losing peace with the Dai Kingdom and wanted to give Ran Min a way to live, why did he refuse to surrender?" Does he still doubt the king's sincerity? ”

Yang Wu shook his head lightly, hugged his fists and said: "The king is angry, Ran Min is extremely ambitious and domineering, such a person, since he has chosen to be the emperor, he would rather die than surrender on his knees, besides, at the moment, Daiguo is the most important ally of my Dayan Kingdom, Ran Min killed Tuoba Invincible General, Daiwang Tuoba Shiyijian can't wait to eat Ran Min's flesh and drink Ran Min's blood, if the acting king learns that the king has surrendered Ran Min, he will definitely be separated from Dayan, so, the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Murong Jun's mouth, and he said softly: "Ran Min has wolf ambitions, do you think this king will really let Ran Min go?" This king is just an expedient measure, recruiting Ran Min, in order to let several generals under Ran Min take refuge in my Dayan, and when our army breaks through the main force of the Jin army, Ran Min and his henchmen and generals under his command cannot stay. ”

When Yang Wu heard this, he finally understood Murong Jun's intentions, paused, and hugged his fists and said: "The king is thoughtful, and Weichen admires, but Ran Min's hard bone is really difficult to gnaw, if he swears to die, won't the king's plan be realized." ”

Murong Jun pursed his lips and said loudly: "Go, go to the prison cell, this king will personally persuade Ran Min to surrender." After speaking, he strode out of the palace and walked in the direction of Jicheng's cell, with Minister Yang Wu following closely.

In the direction of Jicheng, the cell where Ran Min was held was not very far from the Yan Palace, so Murong Jun and his party entered the cell not long after leaving the palace.

Murong Jun walked into the cell and subconsciously covered his nose, the smell in the cell was really unpleasant, making him, a person who was used to fine clothes and food, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Under the leadership of the jailer, Murong Jun and his entourage arrived at the cell where Ran Min was held, this is an extremely dim cell, through the gap in the iron fence, you can clearly see a figure sitting cross-legged, this is Ran Min, although Ran Min's hair has been scattered, but the figure sitting cross-legged is still upright, giving people an unshakable momentum.

"Open the prison door, and the king will bring the prisoner to trial." Murong Jun ordered softly.

When the jailer heard the order, he immediately opened the cell door and entered the cell first.

Murong Jun sighed and strode into the cell, followed closely by Yang Wu and the others, and entered the cell together.

Hearing that someone had entered the cell, Ran Min didn't bother to open his eyes, and reprimanded softly: "You don't have to wait for a long time, I won't bend my knees and surrender to the barbarians." ”

Seeing Ran Min sitting with his eyes closed, claiming to be the Son of Heaven and despising the Great Yan Kingdom, Murong Jun's heart suddenly swelled with huge anger, but in order to persuade Ran Min to surrender, Murong Jun deliberately suppressed this anger so that it would not flare up.

"Ran Min, it's this king who has come to see you, I can't imagine that after so many days, you are still so energetic." Murong Jun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ran Min suddenly opened his eyes, glared at Murong Jun, and said loudly: "It's all right, you don't need to bother." ”

Seeing Ran Min once again claiming to be the Son of Heaven and despising himself, Murong Jun's heart swelled with great anger again, and pointed to Ran Min's head, shouting: "Ran Min, you are just a slave person, a dog raised by Shi Hu, how are you qualified to be the emperor, don't you have a little shame?" After saying that, he turned his back angrily.

"Hahaha!" Ran Min laughed a few times and said, "A barbarian like you can still be called a king, but as a hero of China, why can't I be called an emperor?" After speaking, his eyes were full of anger and glared at Murong Jun.

Murong Jun was furious when he heard this, he knew that Ran Min would never surrender, so he ordered loudly: "At noon tomorrow, send Ran Min outside the city to be beheaded." With that, he strode out of the cell. (To be continued......)
