When Murong Ke heard this, he was a lot happier in his heart, Murong Jun transferred Murong Ping back to Jicheng, which was equivalent to handing over all the main forces of the entire Yan Kingdom to himself, this trust made Murong Ke feel very comfortable, and made him more determined to hold the Yishui defense line, so as to ensure the safety of the capital Jicheng.

"Fourth brother, the second brother first transferred 50,000 recruits to us, and now, he has transferred Uncle Ping back to Jicheng, and then, we can let go of our hands and feet." Murong Ba said excitedly.

Murong Ke nodded and said: "Second brother has transferred almost all the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Yan Kingdom to Yishui, and the responsibility on our shoulders is one more weight, in this battle, no matter what, we must defend Yishui, and we must not let the Jin army cross Yishui, thereby threatening the safety of Jicheng." ”

"Second brother, don't worry! With the Yishui moat, our army will definitely be able to block the attack of the main force of the Jin army. Murong Ba said confidently.

Subsequently, after some consideration, Murong Ke personally designed a powerful conical chariot and asked his craftsmen to build it immediately.

The conical chariot designed by Murong Ke is not a chariot in the traditional sense at all, but a big guy similar to a siege chariot, in front of the conical chariot is a huge baffle, which can block the fire of the enemy's bow and crossbow, so as to protect the safety of the operating soldiers, in the middle of the huge baffle, a conical attack head is installed, and on the top of the attack head, a layer of metal is wrapped to increase the power of the impact.

Behind the frontal shutter of the conical chariot was a heavy crossbar, on the bottom of which five sets of wheels were mounted, and ten handles protruded from the left and right ends of the crossbar. Each handle is five feet long and can accommodate two to three soldiers to operate, and ten handles are twenty to thirty soldiers.

Murong Ke planned to use this kind of chariot to attack the Jin army's Qiyue array, and believed that he would definitely be able to break through the chariot defense circle of the Qiyue array, so as to break through the Jin army's Qiyue array.

In order to have a surprise effect. Murong Ke let the craftsmen under his command. Secretly build a conical chariot in the tent to prevent the cone from being discovered by the Jin scouts, so that the Jin army can be prepared.

The Jin army and the Yan army on both sides of the Yishui River were actively preparing for war. And in the direction of Jiankang City. There was also a tense atmosphere. Of course, this tense atmosphere was not caused by the envoys of the Yan Kingdom, who had not yet arrived in Jiankang City at this time.

And this tension arises. It was completely caused by Huan Wen, the southern king of the Great Jin Dynasty, who turned out that during the Northern Expedition of Hua'an to the Yan Dynasty, Huan Wen's Jingzhou Army was attacking Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and was responsible for quelling the foreign rebellion in the southern frontier, and Yin Hao's Yangzhou Army was also recovering the original Wei forces in Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

It can be said that the three armies of the Great Jin Dynasty are all carrying out combat operations, and they are all relatively large combat operations.

Now, although Hua'an's combat operations in the north are frequent, they still have a fierce confrontation with the two armies of the Yan Dynasty on both sides of Yishui, while the Huan Wen army has broken the alien rebellion in Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and completely controlled Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and after stabilizing Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, Huan Wen did not lead the main army back to the hinterland of Jingzhou, but directly led the troops into Jiangzhou in the southeast of Yangzhou.

Jiangzhou is between Yangzhou, Jingzhou and Guangzhou, belongs to the rear hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty, the interior is relatively stable, and does not border with any hostile forces, therefore, Jiangzhou's armament is the most relaxed, especially the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi served in Jiangzhou Thorn History for several years, but also focused on people's livelihood and cultural construction, for military construction is fundamentally able to save the province, so that the total strength of the entire Jiangzhou has never exceeded 10,000 horses, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers have not been replaced for many years, which can be said to be the weakest state in the military strength of the Jin Dynasty. Such a weak state naturally did not dare to prevent Huan Wen's main army from stationing, so Huan Wen and his main troops and horses soon occupied Jiangzhou and approached the south of Yangzhou.

Of course, Huan Wen rashly entered Jiangzhou and coerced Yangzhou, not to blatantly rebel, but to take advantage of the opportunity of encircling and suppressing a group of bandits inside Jiangzhou, leading the army to cause a de facto occupation, and using Jiangzhou's lax armament as an excuse, he asked to defend Jiangzhou in order to expand his own power.

In this way, in addition to the existing vast Jingzhou, Huan Wen also has Jiaozhou, Guangzhou and Jiangzhou, and his power has increased a lot, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command has reached 300,000, which can be described as a huge force that is fearful.

The Huanwen army occupied Jiangzhou, which made the ministers of the scholar clan in the direction of Yangzhou frightened, and because of the strong strength of the other party, the imperial court had to agree to let it occupy Jiangzhou, and on the grounds of the meritorious service in pacifying Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, he vigorously rewarded Huanwen and the soldiers under his command.

However, Huan Wen was not satisfied with these, in order to further expand his power, he went to the imperial court to impeach Yin Hao, the assassin of Yangzhou who had been defeated repeatedly, and asked the imperial court to remove the incompetent Yin Hao.

After all, when he pacified Jiaoguang Erzhou, Yin Hao also led his troops to pacify the old Wei State that surrendered and rebellious, but Huan Wen had returned triumphantly, and Yin Hao's soldiers and horses, because of his incompetent command, not only failed to recover the rebellious former Wei ministers, but also suffered great losses, all of Qingzhou and most of Yanzhou were almost in an independent state, for this, Yin Hao did bear an unshirkable responsibility and should be punished.

But the Jin court did not want to punish Yin Hao, because, although Yin Hao was quite incompetent militarily, but he was quite prestigious among the scholars, if Yin Hao was punished, the Yangzhou army would be divided for a while, so that it would not be able to effectively resist Huan Wen, who supported the self-respecting army, and then the entire Yangzhou would fall into the control of Huan Wen.

The imperial court is very reluctant to deal with Yin Hao's crimes, but now Huan Wen, who supports the army and respects himself, has occupied the entire Jiangzhou under the pretext of Jiangzhou's lax armament, and tried his best to impeach Yin Hao.

At this time, in the face of Huan Wen's impeachment of Yin Hao, the Great Jin court was in a dilemma, neither wanting to remove Yin Hao, nor at the same time, not wanting to offend Huan Wen, and discussing for several days, but without any results.

Of course, there were also ministers who asked the army under Hua'an to go to Sizhou to deter the Huanwen army, but at this time, the Hua'an army and the main army of Yan were in a fierce confrontation on the north and south banks of Yishui, and they couldn't withdraw from the south, so they were naturally powerless to deter the Huanwen army that had been stationed in Jiangzhou.

However, soon, the arrival of the envoy of the Yan Kingdom gave the Great Jin Imperial Court a glimmer of hope.

The Yan State, which was originally invincible, now urgently demanded to demarcate the territory of the Yan State and the Great Jin Dynasty with Yishui as the boundary, and decided to pay tribute to the Great Jin court every year in exchange for harmonious coexistence with the Great Jin.

These conditions of Yan made many ministers of the Great Jin court feel very satisfied, and all of them were in favor of negotiating peace with Yan, and then, the envoys of Yan made a large amount of bribes to the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty in Jiankang City, so that the officials of the Great Jin court were more supportive of peace.

The ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty had a detailed discussion with the Empress Dowager Chu Lianzi, and finally, based on the sincerity of the Yan State and the need to balance the Huan Wen army, the two conditions decided to negotiate peace with the Yan State, and decided to let Hua'an and Murong Ke on the front line reconcile and withdraw their respective troops.

Of course, before making this decision, the Great Jin Imperial Court also took into account Hua'an's feelings, and analyzed whether Hua'an would obey the orders of the imperial court, after all, Hua'an, like Huan Wen, is a warlord who supports his own army and respects, and they are both canonized as princes, and it is indeed unpredictable whether they can obey orders.

In order to allow Hua'an to reconcile with the Yan State and lead some of the soldiers to the direction of Sizhou to station, the imperial court first greatly affirmed Hua'an's repeated defeats of the Yan Dynasty coalition army, and gave a large number of rewards.

After the Great Jin court made up its mind, it immediately sent an official and a group of retinues to the direction of Yishui, preparing to convey the court's will to Hua'an.

In Xunyang City in the north of Jiangzhou, Nanwang Huan Wen is waiting for the reply of the imperial court, although he thinks that the imperial court will not be willing to remove Yin Hao, but he will definitely give himself an explanation, after all, the soldiers and horses under his command have developed to 300,000 people, and the more than 100,000 main soldiers and horses stationed in Xunyang City can go straight down the river at any time and take the capital Jiankang directly, with such a strong force as the backing, Huan Wen believes that the imperial court does not dare to perfunctory his reasonable impeachment request at will.

"Your Majesty, news came from the direction of the capital that Yan sent an envoy to sue for peace, intending to divide the border with the Great Jin Dynasty with Yishui as the boundary." A subordinate general ran to Huan Wen's side and reported loudly.

When Huan Wen heard this, his heart was slightly shocked, Yan Guo's quest for peace at this time is enough to show that Yan Guo is at an absolute disadvantage in the direction of Yishui, otherwise, with the eloquence of Murong Jun, the king of Yan, he will definitely not take the initiative to make peace, and once Yan Guo reconciles with Dajin, it will be extremely unfavorable to him, after all, as long as the main army under Hua'an is pinned down in the distant Yishui direction, the main army under his command can deter the imperial court without any scruples, so as to win the greatest benefits for himself.

"What does the court mean?" Huan Wen asked softly.

The general clenched his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has agreed to Yan Guo's request for peace, and has already sent someone to the direction of Yishui to convey the will. ”

Hearing this, Huan Wen fell into deep thought, since he heard that Yan Guo had sent an envoy to sue for peace, he had already guessed the decision of the imperial court, after all, most of the ministers of the imperial court did not like to fight. (To be continued......)
