Chapter 440: Stand still

Although Tuoba Yi attacked thistle, not Tianjin, no one dared to take it lightly, after all, Tianjin was only two hundred and forty miles away from thistle.

Yan people do a day of monks hit the clock, a half-dead look, may not pay attention to a corner of the sea is secretly building a city, but the Wei people are different, Wei is like the sky, pioneering and enterprising, once the thistle is broken, will inevitably send people to the sea to inspect the terrain, Tianjin will soon be exposed to the sight of the Wei people, Tuoba Yi is not a fool, naturally can guess the special significance of Tianjin for the whole Hebei and Liaodong.

No one expected that the Wei people would come so quickly, and no one had confidence in whether the Yan people could hold the thistle, because the Wei army was almost invincible in the north, not to mention that it was the 80,000 army led by Tuoba Yi, who may not be as good as Tuoba in terms of political skills, but in terms of military talent, it would not be inferior to Tuoba Jue. ”

After a long time, Wang Daolian said uneasily: "General, Tuoba Jue must have found out about the changes in the Yan State before taking advantage of the situation to attack, and the Ji will definitely not be able to hold under the troops of the Wei State, do you want to temporarily give up attacking Baekje and send troops to rescue the Yan people?" Only when the thistle is in the hands of the Yan people can Tianjin be safe and sound. ”

Wei Feng pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no need to do this, the Yan people are just the mud that can't support the wall, let's send troops to rescue, not to mention whether people appreciate it or not, first of all, they will fall into the quagmire of fighting with the Wei people, on the other hand, my tens of thousands of troops are alone, and it is most dangerous for the lone army to go deep, even if the Wei people are defeated by me for a while, they can send a steady stream of troops to help, how can I fight him?"

Therefore, it is the best policy to hold on to Tianjin. Don't look at Tianjin is just a small city that has not yet been completed, but we have crossbows and ballistas, the Wei people are just looking for death, and the city of Tianjin is the meat grinder of the Wei people, if he wants to cut off my grain route, it is impossible, Tianjin's supplies are all transported from the sea, where does the Wei army come from?

As for the attack on Baekje, there was no need to cancel it, only to dig up the port and build the city as soon as possible. The more certain you are to resist Wei. No matter what, Ji always has a garrison of 30,000 or 20,000, and I don't believe that Tuoba Yi can break through Ji in ten days! ”

It made sense for everyone to think about it, and their faces softened slightly. Liu Xingnan said again: "General." If you rescue thistle. If you can really break the Tuoba Yi with a surprise soldier, the Wei State shouldn't send a steady stream of reinforcements, right? To the southwest of the Wei state, there was the Qin state. Even if the national strength of the Qin State is not as good as the Wei State, it is not too different, in the grassland north of the Wei State, there is also Rouran, I heard that the Wei State has fought with Rouran in recent years, otherwise how can the Yan State survive to this day? You're not rescuing thistles, are you being too conservative? ”

"This" Wei Feng fell into hesitation, according to his nature, of course, it is the most comfortable to have a hearty battle with the Wei army, in fact, what Liu Xingnan said is not unreasonable, but he can't help but consider the consequences, his foundation is in Jiangdong, and now he will fight with the Wei State, what can he get if he wins? If you lose, you will even lose your old book, in short, the gains outweigh the losses.

As soon as Wei Feng was about to speak, Fu Xunying had already noticed Wei Feng's expression and understood that this person was unwilling to take risks, so Ying Ying smiled and said: "Sister Xingnan, I'm afraid you don't know about the situation in the north, Lord Wei has already given the princess of Huayin from Empress Liu to the Rouran chief Lu Dafei and his relatives last year, so there will be no more major wars on the northern border of Wei in a few years."

Although the Qin State turned against the Wei State because Tuoba Jue wanted to marry the princess of the Qin State with a thousand good horses, it seemed that there was a possibility of a big war at any time, but the Qin lord Yao Xing was good at internal affairs, lacked strategy, greedy for small profits, took advantage of the decline and chaos of the Jin State, and repeatedly sent troops to the east, first forcing Hongnong (now Lingbao County, Henan) Taishou, Huashan (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi) Taishou to bow down to the vassals, and further occupy Shangluo (now Shangxian County, Shaanxi), and ordered his brother Yao Chong and Zhendong General Yang Fosong to capture Luoyang, plundered more than 20,000 households in Dingkou and moved to Guanzhong, and also had to inch in, taking advantage of Huan Xuandong to enter Jiankang, The capture of 12 counties such as Nanxiang, Shunyang, and Xinye seems to have seized a large area of land north of Huaishui and Hanshui.

The great enemy of Qin is the Wei State, and the Luoyang area is the natural division between Qin and Wei, separated by the harmless Jin State, Qin and Wei can still be safe, and after each grows, then look for the opportunity of the decisive battle, such a simple truth, how can Tuoba Jue not know? Therefore, he was bent on going east, in order to annex the Yan State, and he could return to attack the Qin State without any worries.

And now, the Qin State took the lead in attacking the land of the Jin State regardless of the undecided strength of the two states of Qin and Liang, which is equivalent to breaking the balance, which is not only a mortal enemy with the Jin State, but also forcing himself to be an enemy of the Wei State in advance. Tuoba Jue is eloquent and strategic, insidious, and the ancestor of my Di people, Emperor Xuanzhao (Fu Jian) can be the male of the north, if Qin and Wei raise sword soldiers, within a year, Tuoba Jue will break Yao Xing, therefore, the general will not move, sit and watch the battle of Qin and Wei is the best policy. ”

Everyone looked at Fu Xunying in surprise, this was really surprised, they were nothing more than two women who turned all beings upside down, but they didn't expect that they would have such insight, and ordinary military advisors didn't have such a level!

Liu Xingnan couldn't help but say: "Sister Xunying, you surprised Xingnan too much, I didn't expect you to see the situation in the world so accurately, but Xingnan didn't understand a little, don't blame Xingnan for being outspoken, I heard that it was you and Sister Lou'e who proposed that Murong Xi camp in the valley, and that valley is a Jedi, you won't fail to see it, right?" ”

Fu Xunying threw a wink at Wei Feng, and said angrily: "Who would have thought that the general would have the courage to attack Murong Xi for thousands of miles?" Even Tuoba Jue didn't dare to go deep into the hinterland of Yan with light horses, and a person like the general couldn't find a second one in the whole world, how could he be extrapolated by common sense? ”

Saying that, Fu Xunying put her delicate body into Wei Feng's arms, and said: "The concubine boldly guesses again, if the general takes power in the Jin Kingdom, he will definitely not let Yao Xing go, can the concubine guess wrong?" ”

Wei Feng was in a good mood, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, Yao Xing did his best to do some things like chickens and dogs, and I heard that he also colluded with Bashu Haoqiang, and he took it today, and he will pay it back with his life." ”

Fu Jiao'e also stepped forward, leaned to the other side of Wei Feng, and said with a smile: "The concubine wishes the general to pacify the Huan clown as soon as possible and become the lord of Jiankang, in fact, the concubine and Xunying have been longing for Jiankang for a long time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xingnan immediately put aside his opinion on Sister Hua, and shouted hard: "Sister Xunying, Sister Lou'e, Xingnan is most familiar with Jiankang, and if there is a chance in the future, Xingnan will take you to shop." ”

Wei Feng shook his head and said: "Liu Xingnan, I can't go to Jiankang in a few years, because after Huan Xuan's ambush, Jiankang will inevitably fall into the hands of the Beifu Army, what I want is Jiangling, Jiankang will temporarily give your father to run for a while, when the time is ripe, I will go down the river from the upper reaches of the river, what else can your father do except be captured?" Okay, let's go back, Tuoba Yi won't send someone over until he takes off the thistle, but the progress of this construction will be accelerated. As he spoke, he put the sisters in her arms and turned to walk back

In the next period of time, the construction site can be described as miserable, twelve hours a day, each person is only given three hours of rest, even the capitalists in the early days of the industrial revolution must give a thumbs up, praise Wei Feng strongly!

This is no longer a matter of exploitation, but to squeeze every cent of value, if these Goguryeo people knew in advance that the Dao would fall into such a miserable situation, I am afraid that a considerable number of them committed suicide when the city was broken, and they couldn't resist if they wanted to, everyone worked together in a group of five people with ropes, and there were Jin soldiers waiting for the battle overhead, as long as anyone dared to communicate with each other, they would immediately shoot an arrow!

Under brutal pressure, Chiang Xuan led an army of 10,000 on July 28 to Baekje with 24,000 prisoners, but after his return on August 25, there were only 13,000 men left on the construction site!

Fortunately, he brought back 25,000 fresh troops, including Baekje's magnates, civilians and captured soldiers, and the king of Baekje, King Acui, was also captured alive, so that Wei Feng pushed him to the beach and beheaded, in addition to labor, Jiang Xuan also brought back about 15,000 Baekje women, including nearly 1,000 queens, princesses, lang girls and powerful women, all of whom were distributed to meritorious soldiers, and received more than 600,000 stone of grain and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and other livestock, and other gold and silver are not worth mentioning, far less than what they got in Silla, this is no way, Baekje was plundered by Goguryeo several times, and it was also necessary to pay tribute to Goguryeo, and the country could no longer squeeze oil and water except for Dingkou.

Wei Feng quickly arranged the new labor force, and the construction progress was indeed greatly accelerated, according to the plan, the city and the port should be completed by mid to late October.

On the same day that Jiang Xuan returned, Ji had fallen five days ago, and Tuoba Yi was pacifying the people in the city, and now the Wei State did not need to slaughter prisoners of war, but instead used Huairou means to win the hearts of the people of Yandi.

"Stomp and tread~~" Suddenly a fast horse galloped over, and Tuoba Yi could see clearly that this was one of the scouts he sent to explore the way when the city was about to break.

After a short time, the scout fell off his horse, and Shi Li said: "King Yuwei, the last general will find someone building a city on the seashore two hundred and forty miles east of thistle, and this city is being built against the coast, so I have come to report it!" ”

"Oh?" Tuoba Yi's brows furrowed, and his eyes shot out a thick puzzlement, at that time, few people would set the city on the coastline, and generally the city built on the coast would shrink one or twenty miles inland, even if it was a big trading city like Panyu, it was not close to the sea, because living by the sea, the perennial humidity was unbearable, and the invasion of the sea tide would also damage the city, who would it be?

Tuoba Yi asked, "How many are there?" Where did it come from? What else do you see? ”

The scout replied: "The last general did not see where it came from, there were tens of thousands of soldiers on the other side, and the last general did not dare to get too close, but behind the city stretched all the way to the sea, and tens of thousands of laborers seemed to be digging the pool, and the last general suspected that the earth and stones used to build the city were taken out of the pool."
