Chapter 951: Murong Jun was disappointed
Hua'an's strategy to deal with Yan was naturally to use guò's continuous military confrontation to gradually consume Yan's national strength, so that Yan gradually became weaker, and once Yan became weak, it would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Central Plains.
Wang San and Zhuge Xiong glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked about the strategy for dealing with Yan Guo.
Hua'an didn't hide it, 1510 will Xie Ai and his own countermeasures, told the two, the two of them heard this, they both thought it was a good way, although this will also consume their own strength, but Yan's national strength is weak, it is difficult to withstand continuous consumption, and Hua'an's area is already very large, enough to maintain hundreds of thousands of troops, and the continuous consumption on the front line, so, as long as the confrontation continues, in the end, Yan will definitely fail completely.
"Since the king has decided to adopt a long-term confrontation to reduce the national strength of the Yan State, then, in addition to the soldiers and horses under General Xie's command to adopt a confrontation strategy, should the soldiers and horses under General Wang in Liaodong also take a defensive position." Zhuge Xiong said softly.
Hua An nodded and said: "That's natural, General Wang Wu has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, if he fully occupies the entire Liaodong, his troops will inevitably be scattered, and it will also stimulate small countries such as Goguryeo in the north on a certain distance, so it is very likely to be defeated, and if he only occupies a corner of the southern part of Liaodong, and sends some troops and horses from time to time to harass the enemy army in Liaodong, it is a good way." ”
"What the king said is very true, in this way, our army will definitely win." Wang San said happily.
Subsequently, Hua'an officially dispatched his henchmen to send an order to the direction of Liaodong, so that Wang Wu's army could hold the southern area of Liaodong in order to contain the soldiers and horses of the Yan State, so that the Yan State would face military pressure from two directions at the same time.
Of course. Wang Wu has always been stationed in the southeastern part of Liaoning, and has no intention of launching an attack on the hinterland of northeastern Liaoning, so it coincides with the strategy that Hua'an wants to require.
After receiving Hua'an's will, Wang Wu insisted on his strategy even more. Stick to and operate the area around Nanguancheng, and closely monitor every move in the direction of Liaodong.
In the pill capital city, Murong De looked anxious, he had been waiting in the post house for many days, and Gao Zhao still did not give any answer, which made him feel very strange, after all, even if it was a military matter, there was no need to discuss it for so long. This seems to be very problematic.
In order to urge Gao Zhao to reply, Murong De asked to see Gao Zhao again, but Gao Zhao refused to see Murong De on the grounds that he was unwell and needed to recuperate, and said that he would summon Murong De in person after he was better. And gave Murong De a satisfactory answer.
But when Gao Zhao's body will get better, Murong De is completely unclear. If we keep waiting like this, how long will we have to wait? At this time, Murong De had a premonition that Gao Zhao was deliberately evading and did not want to form an alliance with Yan State.
Murong De looked very anxious and went to see Yao Xiang. wanted Yao Xiang to work with him to find a way, but Yao Xiang felt that he had no good way to persuade Gao Zhao to form an alliance with Yan, and said that he had just taken refuge in Goguryeo. Gao Zhao didn't trust him very much, so he couldn't help Murong De at all.
At this time, Murong De was very helpless, so he had to report Gao Zhao's intention of deliberately delaying to Murong Jun of Jicheng, so that Murong Jun could understand the situation in Marudu City and give further instructions.
Gao Zhao's sudden physical discomfort was naturally deliberately disguised, and he wanted to delay the alliance with Yan in this way, so that Goguryeo's main army did not have to go to the south of Liaodong to fight, so as to keep the tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses that Goguryeo had.
Of course, Gao Zhao can also directly refuse to form an alliance with Yan State, but it is a bit too hurtful to do so, after all, Yan State's current strength is still far above Goguryeo, if he offends Yan State too much, Goguryeo may have great trouble in the future, and he is not completely sure how big the ambition of the Wang Wu Army is, in case the Wang Wu Army really kills the border of Goguryeo, he still has to consider dealing with the threat with Yan State.
Murong De's report was quickly sent to the palace of Jicheng and handed over to Murong Jun, the king of Yan.
Knowing that Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, deliberately delayed the issue of forming an alliance with Yan on the grounds that he was not feeling well, Murong Jun was very angry and angrily threw the letter on the ground of the main hall.
Seeing that Murong Jun was in a bad mood, all the courtiers above the hall lowered their heads and said nothing.
"This Gao Zhao is really hateful, at the beginning, the king was soft-hearted for a while, and he did not completely destroy Goguryeo, and now, this Gao Zhao is not grateful, and he actually perfunctory this king with a child's play, which is so hateful." Murong Jun scolded loudly.
Obviously, for the perfunctory attitude of Goguryeo King Gao Zhao, Murong Jun has become a little unbearable, and has a tendency to want to send troops to attack Goguryeo in one fell swoop, of course, at this time, the soldiers and horses of Yan State are all restrained by Xie Ai's army, and they are not able to use troops in the direction of Goguryeo, otherwise, with Murong Jun's character, he would have sent an elite army of soldiers and horses to kill the capital city.
"The king is angry, Gao Zhao is just a barbarian, and there is no need for the king to be familiar with this kind of villain." A courtier hurriedly persuaded.
"Yes! Your Majesty, Gao Zhao is just a barbarian junior who doesn't know how to lift, even if there are no soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, my Dayan Kingdom will definitely be able to withstand the attack of the enemy. Another courtier said loudly.
Obviously, several courtiers were trying their best to persuade Murong Jun, afraid that Murong Jun would do something hostile to Goguryeo because of a moment of anger, after all, the situation in Yan State was already very critical at this time, if there was a conflict in Goguryeo at this time, it would be tantamount to digging a grave by himself, and the consequences would be extremely severe.
Murong Jun naturally understands this truth, just now he angrily scolded Goguryeo King Gao Zhao, just to vent, in fact, he very much wants to form an alliance with Goguryeo at the moment, so he is so anxious.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of Wei Chen, Gao Zhao doesn't want to have a bad relationship with my Great Yan Kingdom, otherwise, he would have directly refused to form an alliance with my Great Yan State and expelled our envoys, and the reason for Goguryeo's delay is naturally to preserve his own strength, after all, once Goguryeo forms an alliance with my Great Yan State, he must send a large army to fight with our army, in this way, he will definitely lose a lot of soldiers and horses, Gao Zhao is afraid of losing the soldiers and horses under his command, so he will naturally not form an alliance with my Great Yan Kingdom." A courtier said with his fists clenched.
When Murong Jun heard this, he hurriedly asked, "If this is the case, my Great Yan's attempt to use Goguryeo's soldiers and horses is completely impossible to achieve!" With only the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold Liaodong! ”
Obviously, Murong Jun was still very worried about the situation in Liaodong, and felt that without the help of Goguryeo's soldiers and horses, it would be difficult to block the attack of Wang Wu's army with only the soldiers and horses in the direction of Liaodong, and moreover, the soldiers and horses of Xuansu County and Lelang County, which were used to guard Goguryeo and Buyeo, could not be lightly moved, so that Wang Wu's army could run rampant in Liaodong, which was a situation that Murong Jun was very worried about.
"The king doesn't have to worry too much, the reason why Gao Zhao is unwilling to form an alliance with my Great Yan State is really because, Wang Wu's army is still far away in the south of Liaodong, and there are still hundreds of miles away from the border of Goguryeo, Goguryeo can't feel the threat of Wang Wu's army, so he is naturally unwilling to send troops lightly, besides, Goguryeo's national strength is weak, and the labor expedition may not be able to win, in this case, Gao Zhao chose to delay the alliance with my Great Yan State, which is reasonable, in the future, if Wang Wu's army invades the north of Liaodong, And approaching the border of Goguryeo, Wechen believes that Goguryeo will definitely choose to form an alliance with our Dayan Kingdom, so as to jointly deal with Wang Wu's army. A minister said.
Obviously, this minister considered the issue from the standpoint of Goguryeo, and for this reason, he naturally came up with a more reliable inference.
When Murong Jun heard this, he felt that it made sense, and nodded very approvingly, and said: "Since this is the case, then we have to wait and see what happens, and immediately convey the order, so that the soldiers and horses of the three counties of Xuansu, Daifang, and Lelang are ready for war and ready to reinforce the direction of Liaodong at any time." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." One of the courtiers answered with a fist clenched and immediately went to give the order.
Soon, another junior colonel rushed into the main hall and brought an urgent letter from the Liaodong guard, Murong Jun saw that the Liaodong guard sent an urgent letter, and hurriedly asked the junior colonel to report directly.
When the junior colonel heard the order, he immediately opened the letter and glanced at it, and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Liaodong Guard will ask the king to increase the troops in Liaodong on the grounds that the enemy army has many soldiers and horses, and our army has few soldiers and horses, otherwise, he will not be able to hold the many cities in Liaodong, please choose another capable general." After speaking, he held up the urgent letter with both hands.
When Murong Jun heard this, he was very dissatisfied, the Liaodong guard knew that the Great Yan Kingdom had no troops to adjust, but he asked for reinforcements at this time, obviously deliberately embarrassing Murong Jun, and if Murong Jun did not agree to transfer troops in the direction of Liaodong, he made it clear that Liaodong could not hold it, and asked to step down, such an attitude naturally made Murong Jun very dissatisfied.
Of course, this Liaodong defender also has his own difficulties, after all, there are only less than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and after receiving the 20,000 recruits left by Yao Xiang, there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses.
"Such an incompetent general, what use do you want him, immediately pass on the will of the king and remove the Liaodong guard." Murong Jun ordered loudly.
"Your Majesty, you can't go without generals in the army for a day, if you remove the Liaodong garrison, who will replace you?" A minister hurriedly asked. (To be continued......)
