Chapter 894: Murong Jun plans to go south
In the direction of Jicheng, Murong Jun naturally quickly learned that Hua'an was going to conquer Qingzhou in person, which made him feel very nervous, after all, Yao Xiang of Qingzhou had already defected to the Great Yan Kingdom in name, and he was regarded as the general of the Great Yan Kingdom, and Hua'an's personal crusade against Qingzhou was equivalent to a crusade against the Great Yan Kingdom, and once Hua'an occupied the entire Qingzhou, his strength would become stronger, and the threat to the Great Yan Kingdom would be greater.
Murong Jun absolutely cannot tolerate Hua'an's conquest of Qingzhou, this is his bottom line, and it is also the bottom line of the Great Yan Kingdom, in order to prevent Hua'an from conquering Qingzhou in person, Murong Jun convened his subordinate generals to discuss the strategy of coping.
In the Yanwang Palace in Jicheng, Murong Ke and other generals all gathered together and waited for Murong Jun's arrival, before Murong Jun arrived, they were already together, began to talk about the situation in the direction of Qingzhou, and argued from time to time.
Soon, Murong Jun walked into the main hall, and the generals immediately stopped arguing, and looked up at Murong Jun, waiting for Murong Jun's lecture.
Seeing that the generals were already talking about the situation in Qingzhou, Murong Jun nodded, looked at the generals, and asked directly: "The generals have been talking about it for so long, do you have a countermeasure to deal with the situation in Qingzhou?" ”
"Your Majesty, General Yao Xiang took refuge in my Great Yan Kingdom, and he is the general of my Great Yan Kingdom, this time, Hua An personally led the troops to recruit General Yao Xiang, which is to crusade against my Great Yan Kingdom, and my Great Yan Kingdom must respond, so as not to let others think that my Great Yan Kingdom is easy to bully." One of the generals said loudly.
"That's right, Wang, the main force of our army has been trained for a long time, and it just took the opportunity to kill Yishui and launch an attack on Yecheng, so that Hebei will be taken in one fell swoop." One of the generals said loudly.
"Your Majesty, give the order to attack! The last general is willing to be the vanguard. A senior general clenched his fists and pleaded.
Apparently. The generals of the Yan State were very indignant about Hua'an's personal expedition to Qingzhou, and they were confident enough that their main army could completely defeat the Xie Ai Army in Hebei and occupy the entire land of Jizhou and part of Sizhou.
See the subordinate generals. Murong Jun was naturally very happy, and at the same time, he was also very confident, and thought that the army of the Great Yan Kingdom could completely defeat the Xie Ai army.
"Fourth brother, do you think our army should take this opportunity. Launch an attack on Yecheng and occupy the whole of Hebei, and what are the chances of our army winning? Murong Jun looked at Murong Ke and asked.
Murong Ke frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Don't hide it from the second brother, if Hua'an's main army personally conquers Qingzhou, our army should indeed launch an attack in the direction of Yecheng." In this way, it can relieve a certain amount of pressure on General Yao Xiang in the direction of Qingzhou. In addition, as long as the soldiers and horses south of the Yellow River do not cross the river to reinforce, our army is at least sixty percent sure that it can defeat Xie Ai's troops and horses. ”
Murong Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was naturally impossible for Hua'an, who was south of the Yellow River, to reinforce Hebei. After all, they were all used to attack Yao Xiang, that is to say, when Hua An personally led the main force to attack Qingzhou, it was the time when their Great Yan Kingdom captured the whole of Hebei.
"Fourth brother. How many soldiers do you need? Murong Jun looked at Murong Ke and asked.
Murong Ke thought for a while, looked at Murong Jun, and said: "Xie Ai is a famous general of the Jin army, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command, if our army wants to defeat him, we must prepare more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, of course, the more soldiers and horses, the greater the chance of victory." ”
Obviously, Murong Ke wanted to obtain more soldiers and horses, so that he could be more comfortable when attacking Xie Ai's army.
When Murong Jun heard this, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "All the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in my Dayan Kingdom will be allocated to you, which is more than 300,000, but you must defeat Xie Ai and occupy the entire Hebei." After speaking, he looked at Murong Ke.
Murong Ke nodded, and said, "Second brother, don't worry, if there are more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to take the entire Hebei." ”
Murong Jun was very happy to get Murong Ke's promise, at this time, he was already fantasizing about the scene after getting the whole of Hebei, and he was full of confidence in it.
"Your Majesty, this time we sent troops to Hebei, in addition to strengthening, we should also outwit it, so that we can exchange greater benefits for smaller losses." A subordinate general said.
When Murong Jun heard this, he felt that it made sense, and to win it was natural to send the main army to attack the land of Hebei, and to outwit was naturally to win over allies and deal with Hua'an together.
"What you mean is that this king contacts the king of the south and asks the king of the south to attack together with our army." Murong Jun said softly.
The general said: "Not only that, Pu Jian, who is stationed in Lukou, has a more ambiguous attitude towards my Dayan Kingdom, this person is not really taking refuge in Hua'an, this time the main force of our army is attacking Hebei, it is completely possible to send Pu Jian to contact Pu Jian first, so that Pu Jian can stick to Lukou City and not confront our army head-on, and our army will naturally send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to garrison near Lukou City, so as to prevent Pu Jian from suddenly repenting and attacking our army." ”
"That's right, Pu Jian is in this person, he can indeed fight for it, then do it, you immediately send someone to contact Pu Jian, and ask him not to be the enemy of my Dayan Kingdom, otherwise, our army's 300,000 troops will definitely break through Lukou City and kill them without leaving a piece of armor." Murong Jun said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will do it." The general clenched his fists and turned to leave the main hall.
"Your Majesty, if General Yao Xiang can hold out in Qingzhou for a longer time, it will be very beneficial for our army to take Hebei, we must inform General Yao Xiang of our army's intentions, and let him work hard to hold Qingzhou, and drag the main army of Hua'an, so that the Xie Ai Army will not be the opponent of our army without the reinforcement of soldiers and horses south of the Yellow River." A subordinate general said.
Murong Jun nodded and said, "You said well, this matter will be handed over to you, go now." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general clenched his fists and took the order, and then left the main hall of the Yanwang Palace.
Subsequently, Murong Jun discussed the specific details of the operation with several subordinates under his command, analyzed the possible countermeasures of Hua'an, and came up with better countermeasures for the possible countermeasures of Hua'an.
This time, Murong Jun made up his mind to devote all his elite forces to the battle of attacking Hebei, so as to occupy the entire Hebei in one fell swoop, realize the desire to expand the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, and finally occupy the entire world.
In order to alleviate the pressure of attacking Hebei, Murong Jun not only contacted Huan Wen and lured Pu Jian, but also sent his henchmen to Mobei to borrow troops from Tuoba Shiyijian, who was entrenched there, to further strengthen the force of attacking Jizhou and prevent Zhao Wu and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command from reinforcing Jizhou.
Murong Jun of Yan State, in order to take the opportunity to take the land of Jizhou, can be described as painstaking, and in the direction of Luoyang City, Hua'an is also actively preparing for war.
Due to the direction of Luoyang City, there are only 150,000 main forces, and if you want to attack Qingzhou, you have to take away some soldiers and horses, so that the soldiers and horses defending Luoyang City are bound to be insufficient, for this reason, Hua'an decided to urgently recruit 100,000 militia in the direction of Luoyang City, these militias have received basic military training in peacetime, for this reason, as long as they are gathered together, they can quickly form combat effectiveness, and when the situation in the direction of Luoyang City is not so tense, these militias can be dismissed immediately, and returned to their respective hometowns to continue farming.
Hua'an believed that with the strength of more than 100,000 main forces and 100,000 militiamen, it was enough to hold Luoyang City and dozens of nearby cities, so that Hua'an could attack Qingzhou without any scruples.
"Wang, Xizuo has just sent back the news, the king of the south has led the main army of his department to leave Xunyang City, and headed to the north of Jingzhou, it seems that he is going to Xiangyang City, in addition, some soldiers and horses in the south of Jingzhou have also begun to move to the north, and these movements seem to be aimed at Luoyang!" Wang San walked into the hall and reported to Hua'an.
When Hua An heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, although this was already in his expectation, but he didn't expect that the Jingzhou army would move so quickly, and it would start to transfer troops to the north of Jingzhou so quickly.
Hearing such news, Hua'an was very glad that he had already begun to recruit militia near Luoyang, otherwise, with only more than 100,000 main troops, the pressure would be great.
"The main force of the Jingzhou army is transferred to the north of Jingzhou, which has caused a lot of pressure on the soldiers and horses near my Luoyang City, it seems that Huan Wen is clearly trying to contain our army and not let the main force of our army attack Qingzhou calmly!" Hua An looked at Wang San and said softly.
Wang San nodded, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, since the main force of the Jingzhou Army has begun to advance north, do we still want to attack Qingzhou?" ”
Hua An thought for a while, and said softly: "Although the main force of the Jingzhou army has begun to advance northward, our army has recruited 100,000 militiamen in Luoyang City, and the Jingzhou army may not dare to attack Luoyang, besides, our army attacks Qingzhou, this king only needs to lead 30,000 main cavalry to converge with the main army of Yanzhou, and there is no need to mobilize too many soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, so that even if this prince leads the army to attack Qingzhou, the defensive soldiers and horses of Luoyang City also have 120,000 main forces and 100,000 militiamen, a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, This is enough to deter the Jingzhou army, besides, the king plans to quietly lead the troops to reinforce Yanzhou, so that the Jingzhou army will not know the fact that the king has left Luoyang City. ”
"Your Majesty, how can this be hidden?" Wang San frowned and asked.
Obviously, Wang San felt that as long as Hua'an led the troops out of Luoyang City, the fine work sent by the Jingzhou army would definitely find out about this matter, and would send the news back to Jingzhou as soon as possible, so that the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou army would know about this incident.
Hua An smiled and said: "Now our army has recruited 100,000 militiamen around Luoyang City, the scene is more chaotic, our army's 30,000 cavalry leaving Luoyang City will not attract much attention, in addition, although this king has left Luoyang City, he can find a stand-in!"
