Wang Meng thought for a moment and said softly: "Back to the king, the combat power of the main cavalry of the Daiguo is quite strong, which is not much different from the main cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, and it is also a strong opponent of our army. ”

When Hua An heard this, he paused for a moment, and said: "Shengle, the capital of the Daiguo Kingdom, has been broken by our army, and the morale must have suffered a great setback. ”

Wang Meng replied: "Your Majesty, the army of Daiguo is all cavalry, although it was completely defeated by our army, but it only takes a certain amount of time to assemble again, Tuoba Shiyi Qianqin led 30,000 troops to reinforce Yan State, it is enough to show this, our army occupies an absolute advantage, but it should never underestimate the enemy." ”

Hua An looked at Wang Meng approvingly, and said: "General Wang is right, although our army has an absolute advantage, it is absolutely impossible to underestimate the enemy. ”

When all the generals heard this, they all nodded in approval, and a big melee with the main cavalry of the Yan army on the south bank of Yishui caused great casualties to each other, the strength of Wang Meng's army has been sharply reduced to 80,000, the cavalry under Deng Qiang and Wang Wu is only 15,000 people, and the personal guard army under the command of Wang San has lost more than 1,000 horses, and the Wudang Fei army under the command of Zhuge Xiong has not fought with the Yan cavalry in close combat, so there are almost no losses.

In this way, a big melee on the south bank of Yishui, the Jin army lost a total of more than 20,000 soldiers, which can be described as a considerable loss, of course, the loss of the Yan army is also huge, and the loss of soldiers and horses will not be less than 20,000, and the large loss of the iron rope cavalry, which is the absolute main force of the Yan army, has dealt a great blow to the Yan army, and among the 20,000 horses lost by the Yan army, at least half of them are the most elite iron rope cavalry.

After learning about the huge losses of the cavalry under his command. Hua'an decided not to attack the north bank of Yishui for the time being, but to use a period of preparation to reorganize and train the already damaged cavalry units under his command.

Due to the fact that the collection of war horses could not be in place in a short period of time, the scale of the cavalry of the various departments under Hua'an could not reach the original level, among them, the 80,000 horses of Wang Meng's army remained unchanged and were reorganized, and half of the 30,000 cavalry of the Deng Qiang army were lost. It was decided to expand by 5,000. To make it reach the scale of 20,000 cavalry, Wang Wu's army was also reorganized to the scale of 20,000 horses, and the more than 1,000 horses lost by the pro-guard army should be replenished first.

At the time of the reorganization of the damaged cavalry units, in addition to the more than 1,000 men and horses of the pro-guard army. It is from outside the main force. The rest were drawn from the reserves.

And so it goes. After some reorganization, the main cavalry under Hua'an will reach the scale of 140,000 horses, plus 40,000 charioteers and 40,000 main infantry. There are a total of 220,000 main troops, in addition, the 50,000 horses of the reserve corps are transferred to supplement the main force with 20,000 horses, so there are only 30,000 horses left.

If you count the nearly 50,000 horses under the command of Pu Jian, who have been attached, the total strength of the Jin army has reached 300,000 horses, of course, the reliability of Pu Jian's army is difficult to guarantee, therefore, Hua'an's attack on the Yan army on the north bank of Yishui will not give too much consideration to the factors of Pu Jian's army, so as not to completely fail the attack on Yan because of Pu Jian's yang and yin.

On the north bank of Yishui, the army of Yan also made active preparations, and was ready to rely on Yishui to resist the further northward advance of the main force of the Jin army.

The reinforcement of the Dai Guo army made a slight change in the decline faced by the Yan State, and strengthened the confidence of the Yan State soldiers to resist the Jin army.

However, the Jin army still occupies a lot of advantages, which makes Murong Jun, who is sitting in Jicheng, very worried, once the Yishui defense line is broken through by the Jin army, Fan Yang is bound to be unsafe, and once the Jin army captures Fanyang City, it will follow the line of Zhuo County and Liangxiang to the foot of Jicheng, so that the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom will be within the attack range of the Jin army, and once this happens, the consequences will be quite strict.

What worries Murong Jun the most is that the tribes such as Goguryeo and Buyeo on the northern border of Yan State, seeing the main force of Yan State and the main force of the Jin army confronting each other, stirring up trouble from time to time and creating friction on the border, Murong Jun knows very well in his heart that these tribal forces are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity for the main force of Yan State to collapse, as long as the main force of Great Yan State is lost, they will attack Yan State from the border, so as to regain the land that belongs to them and was seized by Yan State.

In the face of such a grim shape, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, was like a thorn in his back, and he had even begun to think about how to make peace with the Jin army, and use Yishui as the border between the Yan State and the Great Jin.

Murong Jun told his confidant ministers what he thought in his heart, and in the face of such a grim situation, all the ministers of the Yan State agreed to make peace with the Jin army, but they were all worried that the Jin army would not agree to use Yishui as the boundary, after all, the entire Youzhou and Pingzhou further away originally belonged to the Great Jin, and it was almost difficult to make the Great Jin give up recovering the two northern states when the Jin army gained an advantage.

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Jin army is reorganizing its troops and horses, and within half a month, it will definitely not launch an attack on the north bank of Yishui, and my Dayan has enough time to send an envoy to Jiankang in the south of the Yangtze River to ask for peace with the Great Jin court." A minister of the Yan army said with his fists clenched.

When Murong Jun heard this, he said softly: "Hua'an, the main general of the Jin army, supports the army and respects himself, even if the Great Jin Imperial Court agrees to make peace, Hua'an, who is the main general, does not agree, it is useless!" After speaking, he frowned.

Murong Jun is telling the truth, Hua'an has been canonized as the king of the north, and he has his own army, if Hua'an is bent on recovering Youzhou and Pingzhou, he can completely ignore the will of the imperial court, after all, the general will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch, as the king of the north with hundreds of thousands of troops, it is entirely possible to ignore the will of the Great Jin court.

"Your Majesty, the Great Jin Dynasty is not only a king of Hua'an, and he is not the only general who supports the army and respects himself, if his blatant disobedience and disrespect are the following crimes, and the other soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dynasty can use this as an excuse to restrain Hua'an, besides, I Dayan has no better way, no matter whether I can succeed in peacemaking, I have to give it a try!" A minister of Yan said.

When Murong Jun heard this, he nodded approvingly, and said with a straight face: "Immediately send an envoy to Jiankang City to sue for peace with the Great Jin Imperial Court, remember, bring more gifts and visit the capital ministers of the Jin State more." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." A minister hurriedly replied.

Murong Jun wanted to use the method of bribing the officials of Jiankang City to get the Great Jin Imperial Court to agree to the conditions of Yishui as the boundary with Yan State, and restrain the Hua'an army on the front line.

Of course, in order to deal with the threat from all directions, Murong Jun made several preparations, in addition to sending envoys to Jiankang City to sue for peace with the Great Jin Dynasty, he also sent several other missions, respectively to Goguryeo and Buyeo and other countries, asking for peace with various countries, in addition to diplomatic means, Murong Jun also carried out fruitful military preparations, after temporarily recruiting 50,000 new soldiers, Murong Jun decided to recruit 30,000 troops again, in order to deal with the increasingly severe threats around.

The confrontation between the north and south banks of Yishui has become more and more intense, and the two sides have sent small units from time to time to take advantage of the darkness of the night to penetrate deep into each other's camps to sabotage and spy on each other's intelligence.

Because the preparations were relatively sufficient, the small forces on both sides could only play the role of harassment and could not inflict great losses on the other side, but this increased the tense atmosphere on both sides of the strait and made the officers and men on both sides dare not slack off at will.

In order to better observe the deployment of the Yan army on the north bank of Yishui, the Jin army erected a number of high platforms on the shore of the south bank of Yishui, and erected several arrow towers on top of the high platforms.

In this way, these high platforms can not only be used to observe the situation on the other side, but also play a defensive role when the Yan State on the other side launches a sneak attack.

After the high platform was built, Hua An led his subordinates to climb the high platform and personally watch the deployment of the Yan army on the north bank of Yishui.

Standing on the high platform, Hua'an can clearly see the north bank of Yishui, the location where the Yan State camp is stationed, and even, you can see the movement and training of the Yan soldiers in the Yan State camp.

"Your Majesty, the army of Yan State is arranging men and horses along Yishui, it seems that they are going to rely on Yishui Tianqian to defend their positions!" Wang San said softly.

"Your Majesty, the formation and training of our army are about to be completed, and then with the help of the Moon Formation, we will definitely be able to repel the army of Yan and occupy the north bank of Yishui." Chen Poyu said.

Hua An did not answer positively, but looked at Yi Shui, who was rolling eastward, paused, and said softly: "Is this Yi Shui?" ”

"Your Majesty, this place is naturally Yishui, and not far from Yishui is Fanyang City." Wang San said softly.

Hua An nodded, looked at Yi Shui, and said: "Generals, this is Yi Shui, when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, it was here that he was separated from Prince Yan Dan, and his friend Gao Yanli played a song for him on the north bank 'Feng Xiao Xiao Xi Yi Shui Han' Now, hundreds of years have passed, Yi Shui is still Yi Shui, but Jing Ke is no longer there, and we can't hear Gao Yuanli's tragic playing." ”

Hearing this, all the generals nodded, the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, they naturally heard it, according to legend, the Qin State successively destroyed Korea and Zhao, and deployed the main army on the south bank of Yishui, intending to attack the Yan State in the next step, Yan Prince Dan in order to save the fate of the Yan State was destroyed, sent assassins Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang, carrying the map of the Qin rebel general Fan Yuqi and the rich land Governor Kang, to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, preparing to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, on the occasion of leaving the Yan State, Yan Prince Dan bid farewell to Jing Ke on the north bank of Yishui, Jing Ke's friend Gao gradually left, and even played a famous song for Jing Ke that has been passed down to future generations, 'The wind is sluggish and the water is cold'.
