Shi Chong continued to lead the army to kill in the direction of Yecheng, when he was in Yuanxiang, he received Shi Zun's edict, seeing the content of the edict sincerely, Shi Chong hesitated, he felt that Shi Shi and Shi Zun were his younger brothers, Shi Shi had died, it was impossible to resurrect again, if you fought to the death with Shi Zun, it was an outsider who saw the joke.

After thinking about it again, Shi Chong planned to lead his army back to Jicheng, and told his generals his thoughts, but the generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all thought that it was impossible, because rebellion is such a thing, either don't do it, and if you want to do it, you have to do it to the end, otherwise, sooner or later, you will die.

Seeing that his subordinates all asked to continue to go south, Shi Chong's thoughts were shaken again, and he hesitated again, and his general Chen Xian even said that it was a heinous act for the king of Pengcheng to kill the king and set himself up as the emperor, even if Shi Chong led the team back to Jicheng, he would lead his men and horses to continue to march south to pacify Shi Zun's traitors.

With such a resolute attitude of his subordinates, Shi Chong made up his mind and continued to lead the main force of his men and horses to kill Yecheng.

Seeing that Shi Chong led the army to continue south, Shi Zun once again sent a message to Shi Chong, with more generous treatment, to go to Shi Chong to lead the army back to Jicheng to guard against the Yan army.

However, at this time, Shi Chong had already ordered the determination to kill Xiang Yecheng, and he did not listen to Shi Zun's explanation, and continued to lead the army south, passing through Changshan County and entering Zhaoguo County.

Seeing that Shi Chong insisted on going his own way and was not far from Yecheng, Shi Zun gave up the method of persuasion and decided to use force to completely eliminate Shi Chong.

Facing Shi Chong's more than 100,000 elite army, Shi Zun sent Wu Xinggong Shi Min and Li Nong. Led 100,000 elite soldiers in Yecheng to attack Shi Chong, preparing to fight to the death with Shi Chong.

After some preparations, Shi Min and Li Nong led 100,000 elite soldiers out of Yecheng and marched all the way north, where they encountered Shi Chong's main force at Pingjian City in Zhaoguo County.

Both sides were the elite men and horses of the Zhao State, and the battle had just begun to enter the white-hot stage, and the battle situation was extremely tragic, with a large number of corpses piled up around Pingthorn City.

After a fierce battle, the army under Shi Min was superior, and the main army of Shi Chong's department was defeated. The casualties among the officers and soldiers of the department were extremely severe. Even Shi Chong himself was captured by Shi Minsheng and escorted to Yecheng.

Shi Zun was very angry at Shi Chong's rebellion, so he let Shi Chong commit suicide. and buried alive the 30,000 elite soldiers under Shi Chong's command.

These 30,000 soldiers are the elite men and horses of the Zhao State, who are mainly warriors of the Qiang nationality. Just buried alive in one go. For the entire Zhao State, it was an extremely heavy loss, in a certain way. The vitality of Zhao Guo was greatly damaged, and the battle losses of both sides during the battle, after this battle, Zhao Guo's strength was indeed weakened a lot.

In Longcheng in Liaodong, because Murong Hao, the king of Yan, had died, the prince Murong Jun naturally inherited the mantle of Murong Hao and was named the king of Yan by the court of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Soon after Murong Jun, the king of Yan, ascended the throne, Zhao State underwent a series of changes, which made the generals and ministers under his command a little unable to sit still, and some important ministers thought that this was a good time to go south to the Central Plains, and successively made suggestions to Murong Hao, asking to lead the army south.

Murong Jun rejected his subordinates on the grounds that his father was not long after his death and the country was not suitable to use troops, but in the face of more and more subordinates asking for war, Murong Jun felt that it was necessary to gather important generals and discuss them well, so as not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In the Yanwang Mansion, Murong Ke, Murong Ba, Feng Yi, Mu Yugen, Murong Ping and other important figures were all present and sat on both sides of the main hall.

Murong Jun, the king of Yan, sat on the throne, looked at his subordinates, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the Zhao Kingdom is in turmoil, and the people of the Central Plains are suffering. ”

Murong Ba first said: "Second brother, right now, Zhao Guo, first Liang Qian rebelled, lost a lot of national strength, and then Shi Zun killed the monarch to stand on his own, and then Shi Chong led 100,000 elites to Yecheng to fight, the loss is huge, only the elite soldiers who were buried alive are as many as 30,000, and our army has as many as two or three hundred thousand, enough strength to go south, in this Shi clan is the weakest time, it is the time for our army to march into the Central Plains, miss this opportunity, once Zhao Guo survives the turmoil and becomes strong again, or there is a hero who occupies the Central Plains in advance, Our opportunity is lost, Liaodong is tired, and it won't last long, so the second brother still has to plan early! ”

When Murong Jun heard this, he felt that there was some truth, but he was still a little worried, after all, although there were turmoil in Zhao State one after another, but the foundation was thick, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if Zhao Guo has gone through many turmoil, but its strength is still not to be underestimated, especially in the direction of Youzhou, there are still a lot of defensive forces, these defensive forces are stationed at important checkpoints, blocking the road of the Yan army to the south, and some weakly defended sections are rugged and difficult, which is not conducive to the march of the army.

After thinking about it again, Murong Jun expressed his worries, and when Murong Ba heard this, he said that although Zhao's left-behind troops in Youzhou occupied a dangerous checkpoint, there was turmoil in the direction of Yecheng, which would inevitably cause fluctuations in the hearts of the soldiers, and some soldiers missed their hometown and had no intention of fighting at all, as long as the army of Yan Guo arrived, it would inevitably collapse, even if the Zhao army relied on the checkpoint to defend it, it would definitely not be able to hold it.

Murong Jun was still hesitant, but the idea of sending troops to the Central Plains was stronger.

General Feng Yi hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Hu has just died, and before he can see it, his descendants can't wait to fight for power and profit, Yecheng is in chaos around it, and the people in the Central Plains have fallen into the abyss, looking forward to the king raising troops to save, if the king leads his troops south, first capture Jicheng, and then point directly at Yecheng, show off his strength, promote morality, care and appease the people of the dead country, the people of the Central Plains will definitely help the old and the young to meet the king, and hope that the king will immediately send troops south. ”

Huang Hong, who was engaged in Zhonglang, said: "Your Majesty, the minister watches the sky at night, and sees that the Taibai Star is visible in the sky, and Jupiter stays in the north of Aldebaran, which is the fulfillment of the inevitable acceptance of the mandate of heaven in the northern country, and the king should send troops south to the Central Plains to uphold the will of heaven." ”

General Mu Yugen also hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the people in the Central Plains have had enough of the rule of the Zhao State, and they all want to change the monarch to rule in order to get rid of the dire crisis and suffering, this is a golden opportunity, we must not miss it lightly!" At present, after years of development, my Dayan has become increasingly powerful in the country, and the number of soldiers and horses in the country has reached hundreds of thousands, which is enough to go south, so the king should not hesitate. ”

"Second brother, according to the news from the scouts, the Jin court is also secretly preparing at the moment, and it is possible to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains at any time, if the Jin family is allowed to occupy the Central Plains in advance, we will be passive, so let's send troops as soon as possible!" Murong Ke also spoke.

Seeing that all his subordinates supported going south to the Central Plains, Murong Jun finally made up his mind and said loudly: "Since the destiny of heaven belongs to my Dayan, how can this king refuse?" From now on, prepare supplies for the south to the Central Plains. ”

"The king is wise." Seeing that Murong Jun accepted the construction of the Central Plains in the south, all his subordinates were overjoyed.

Subsequently, Murong Jun appointed Murong Ke as the general of the auxiliary state, Murong was rated as the general of the auxiliary country, Yang Wu was the general of the auxiliary yi, and Murong Ba was the forward general, and selected more than 200,000 elite soldiers in the country, trained day and night, and entered a state of imminent battle, and all kinds of war materials were constantly preparing to serve the Central Plains in the south.

In the Great Jin court in the south of the Yangtze River, hearing that the civil strife in Zhao was not stopping, there was jubilation up and down, Huan Wen's Jingzhou army and Chu Li's Yangzhou army both entered a state of imminent battle, and prepared to march north of the Huai River to recover the lost territory.

As soon as the Jingzhou Legion sent a partial division, the Yangzhou Assassin of Zhao gave up Shouchun, went out of the city and surrendered to Huan Wen, and Chu Li of the Yangzhou Legion led 30,000 elites and drove directly into Pengcheng.

In the northern region, due to the influence of turmoil, many people fled south with their children and entered the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Yangzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army protected them and allowed them to enter Jiangnan safely, so as to increase the people's power in Jiangnan on a certain distance.

However, because the Yangzhou and Jingzhou legions were not too far from the core area of Zhao, the advance was quickly intercepted by the main army of Zhao, so that it could not advance further north, and the 200,000 remnants of the Jin Dynasty who had crossed the Yellow River fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness, and all of them died.

Hearing that all the 200,000 remnants of the Jin Dynasty had died, Chu Pei, the general of Zhengbei, was very remorseful, and regretted that he became ill, and his health became deteriorating.

In the direction of Wudu City, the 30,000 main force and 60,000 reserve troops led by Hua An have arrived outside the city and camped on the spot, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses under Yang An's command, in addition to the 5,000 men and horses stationed in Shichang City, the remaining soldiers and horses have all come to converge.

In this way, the soldiers and horses under the direct command of Hua'an already have more than 100,000 horses in the direction of Wudu City, and the remaining four partial divisions have also entered the predetermined position, and are waiting for Hua'an's order to launch an attack on Zhao State at any time.

"General, scout urgent." Hua'an was studying the map, and his own soldiers rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Bring it up."

Hearing the order, the pro-soldiers handed the letter into Hua'an's hands.

Hua An took the letter and looked at it, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently, and the content of the letter was the latest information in the direction of Yecheng.

"Big brother, there is good news in the direction of the Central Plains." Seeing Hua An smiling, Wang San hurriedly asked.

Hua An replied: "Yes! There was a big incident in the direction of Zhao Guo, Peiwang Shi Chong led more than 100,000 elites, and more than 100,000 elites under Shi Zun's command fought a bloody battle in Pingjiao, both sides suffered heavy losses, and finally Shi Zun won, Shi Chong was forced to commit suicide, and all the 30,000 elite soldiers under his command were buried alive! ”

"What, all 30,000 elites were buried alive, it is really worthy of Shi Hu's son, and the methods are so vicious." Wang San sighed quietly. (To be continued......)
