Wei Feng turned his head to look back, the Wei army's battalion was cold, except for a few rangers in the vicinity, there was no movement, the Wei people learned to be obedient this time, no longer like four years ago in a swarm of swarms in a large camp, but divided into three camps, in a triangle to rely on each other, even if one is lost, the other two can quickly come to help.

The more Wei Feng looked at it, the more confused he became, but even if he wanted to break his brain, he couldn't guess that Tuoba Yi was reluctant to attack Tianjin, which was all forced by Tuoba Yi!

For Wei Feng, the most headache is that he can't figure out Tuobayi's strategic intentions, judging from the large-scale mobilization of Ji and Hebei soldiers and horses, Tuoba Yi does have the intention of fighting a decisive battle with himself, but he just puts on a long-term confrontation appearance, does he really plan to fight with himself? Is Wei's national strength so strong?

Although the Wei State has a strong momentum since the Battle of Hepo, the Yan State is breathless, but the main body of the Wei State is only located in the Hedong, Hebei and Kanto regions, of which the east of the river is blocked, and the grain and grass output can only go south to Luoyang to Ji or Zhongshan, the total journey is about 2,000 miles, extremely long, and at least half of the grain and grass will be consumed on the way to transport a stone, and the general situation is similar to Jiaozhou, although they are the main grain producing areas, they are far away from the main war zone, and the cost of transportation is extremely high!

And Hebei due to Shi Hu's continuous wars in his later years, coupled with the tyranny of the Murong clan, has long been devastated, and he will not be able to recover his vitality within a few years, to say that Hebei can support the long-term battle of more than 100,000 troops, Wei Feng is dead and does not believe it, as for the Guandong with Luoyang as the center, it did not take too long to fall into the hands of Wei, and Yao Xing plundered the local people as much as possible when he retreated. What Wei got was nothing more than an empty shell, and it did not have the ability to support large-scale battles, not to mention the bitter cold in the north, and the grain was ripe every year, which was congenitally deficient compared with Weifeng, which was based on the south!

On the other hand, Wei's current situation is similar to that of Wei Feng, that is, after several years of looting warfare, there is no plunder. To launch a long-term and large-scale campaign, it can only be carried out by relying on its own material foundation. The pace of expansion of the Wei state has slowed down significantly in recent years, on the one hand, because Tuoba Yi is indulging in pleasure, and on the other hand, it also shows that its ability to support war is close to the limit, so Wei Feng does not believe that Tuoba Yi has any intention of confronting him for a long time

'Just. If you don't move, won't the tophag really not move? Do you want to pretend to withdraw from the army to test it? Wei Feng was secretly turning his thoughts. One of the guards rushed over. The water splashed all over his body, and he didn't care about wiping it, so he took out a letter and said, "General." There is Jiankang military intelligence! ”

"Oh?" Wei Feng hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it, his face was cloudy and sunny, and his brows were loose and tight, Liu Xingnan couldn't help but ask, "General, is it related to my father?" ”

Wei Feng said lightly: "Soon after I left Jiankang, your father frequently dispatched troops and horses to concentrate in Xiapi, and captured Langya (now Linyi, Shandong) a month ago, it seems that he was going to attack Nanyan while I was fighting with Tuoba Yi. ”

"Huh?" Liu Xingnan immediately showed disbelief, and said repeatedly: "Hurry up and show Xingnan!" As he spoke, he snatched the letter from Wei Feng's hand!

Liu Yu did make up his mind to attack Nanyan, Jiankang affairs were handed over to Liu Muzhi and Wang Mi to deal with together, he himself brought Liu Yi, Liu Jingxuan, Xie Hui and others to send troops from Xiapi, as for the issue of the imminent end of the court salt industry, after discussion, no one could come up with a better way, but it was impossible to give up Wei Feng, so the final resolution was to maintain the status quo on the surface, but on the one hand, the Wujun salt industry was completely suspended, and the deficit was unbearable, and on the other hand, it was to severely crack down on the illegal salt dealers who colluded with the salt industry in Zhejiang, and at the same time, secretly by the court in the name of a private person to buy salt from Zhejiang Prefecture slightly higher price and then sold in the Jiankang market, so as to save face, but also stabilize the price of Jiankang salt, as for what consequences will bring, can only be God knows.

Similar to salt, the court also bought a large amount of grain from Shanyin in the name of a private person to stabilize the high grain price of Jiankang, although the price of grain in Shanyin could not be as cheap as Panyu, but even if the cost of transportation back and forth was counted, it was much lower than that of Jiankang, and the salt relied on Weifeng Liu Yu was already very unhappy, and now even the grain and rice had to be obtained from Wei Feng, which made him extremely aggrieved, but he had to consume a lot of military food when he went out on the expedition, and if he didn't buy it from Shanyin, Jiankang would not last long and would fall into a food shortage. He didn't expect Jiankang and the Wujun clan to be kind enough to give him grain and grass!

Standing at the head of Kaiyang (Langya County, now north of Linyi City), Liu Yu looked at the north, in fact, the area of Nanyan is very small, it is the weakest of the many forces in the Middle Earth, only a small piece of Shandong Peninsula, the north and Wei are roughly bounded by the Yellow River, Hebei belongs to Wei, originally Liu Yu did not look down on Nanyan, and was not ready to conquer Nanyan, but in the unfavorable situation of Wei Feng's main expedition to Hebei, he had to take the initiative to attack.

At this time, Xie Hui hurriedly rushed over and saluted Liu Yu: "General, according to the news from Guanggu, Nanyan discussed more than ten days ago, and the general Gongsun Wulou strongly advocated sending troops to defend Daxian Mountain, which is in dangerous terrain, not to fight with our army quickly, and to find an opportunity to travel south along the coast with light horses, cut off our grain route, and then garrison Liangfu (now Yingfoshan, Shandong) to defend the army, and go down the mountain to flank our army.

But last year, Murong Chao, who succeeded to the throne of the usurped emperor, thought that the Southern Yan Kingdom was rich and strong, and there was no need to show weakness, so he issued an edict to abandon Daxian Mountain, and wanted to fight with our army with superior cavalry, and ordered to withdraw the defenders of Juxian and Liangfu Zhucheng, and return to the army to build a city in the pass, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and wait for our army to break through the pass and enter. ”

Liu Yuluo groaned, then waved his hand and said: "Murong De is scheming, cautious and cautious, if he is alive, he will be based on Daxian Mountain, our army is facing Xiongguan, it is extremely difficult to take Guanggu, but it is a pity that Murong De died of illness last year, and Murong Chao has countless travels, extravagant expenses, compared with Murong Xi, the former lord of Northern Yan, he is really a handsome man for a while, and there is no distinction between them!"

Hum! Self-abandonment danger, the general doesn't know how he came up with it, this is the day to kill him, self-inflicted evil can't live! But the march to Guanggu is not in a hurry, at present, the soldiers and horses of Hebei have not moved, and it is not too late to break Guanggu when General Wei and Tuoba Yi divide the victory or defeat! ”

"Oh? Why? Xie Yan was puzzled.

Liu Yu said with a confident smile: "If General Wei is defeated, and I am victorious, there is no need to say much, but if General Wei breaks the Tuoba Yi, the prestige will inevitably rise, but after I destroy Nanyan, I can capture the Yan lord Murong Chao and behead Jiankang, this is a grand event that has never been seen in my dynasty since the founding of the country, you think, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiankang, the voice is bound to surpass!" ”

"Oh~~ The last general understands!" Xie Hui suddenly realized: "General Wei's breaking of the Tuoba Yi is naturally an immortal feat, but how can it be compared with the general, you captured the lord of a country and beheaded him in the capital?" The general really has a high opinion, in fact, the last general feels that if General Wei is unfortunately defeated, you can send troops to attack Jing and Zhejiang, and the rest of General Wei will surrender without a fight! ”

"Hmm~~" Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's still far away to talk about these things at present, let's wait patiently for the news from Hebei, however, there may be hurricanes on the sea in two or three months, and General Yu Wei is not good for transporting grain from Shanyin, so this decisive battle must be fast!" ”

Xie Hui's eyes showed a look of expectation, and he also followed Liu Yu to look due north.

The entire Beifu army was waiting for news from Hebei, and Lu Xun and Xu Daofu in Wuchang were also discussing the matter.

It's just that their intelligence is obviously not as timely as the Beifu Army, and in the palace of the state capital, Lu Xun muttered: "General Wei left Jiangling and didn't return for half a year, and I don't know what the results of the battle were, and the detailed work sent to the north has not been sent back with a quick message, I'm worried!" ”

Xu Daofu said noncommittally: "Brother-in-law is worried that General Wei will be defeated by Tuoba Yi?" ”

Lu Xun smiled bitterly: "Jiangzhou seems to be safe at present, but in fact, it is because General Wei and Liu Jinu are in a delicate balance, but once this balance is broken, no matter who it is, the first thing to take is Jiangzhou, Futang, don't forget, you and I have a grudge against the Beifu army to kill He Wuji, if General Wei is defeated in the hands of Tuoba Yi, Liu Jinu will go all out to attack my Jiangzhou before taking Jingzhou, although we dare not slack off in the exercises, but compared with the Beifu army, after all, it is still a little worse!" ”

Xu Daofu pondered: "Whether General Wei can break the Tuoba Yi or not, it is useless for us to speculate here, but my brother-in-law's worries have to be guarded against, otherwise, once we get the news of General Wei's defeat, we will immediately pour the people of Jiangzhou to attack Jingzhou, and then recruit the rest of General Wei, only in this way can we compete with Liu Jinu!" ”

Lu Xun squinted and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Futang's words are reasonable, otherwise it is not enough to get rid of the disaster, I heard that General Wei's wives and concubines are quite good, especially the snatching of Empress Fu and Fu Zhaoyi from Murong Xi's hands."

Before Lu Xun finished speaking, Xu Daofu's face changed greatly: "Brother-in-law, don't do it, you and I have a bad reputation, and if you take away people's wives and daughters again, you will be spurned by the world, and you will also hold a grudge against the rest of General Wei, otherwise what's the use of taking Jingzhou?" What's more, some of these women are from the Gaomen Jia clan, involving a lot of people, and their brothers-in-law want to achieve great things, these women not only can't move, but also must be offered to a high court, and it is right to treat each other with courtesy! ”

The green light in Lu Xun's eyes flickered for a while, and it took a long time before he reluctantly said: "Okay, according to your words, but what if General Wei breaks the Tuoba Yi?" ”

Xu Daofu said helplessly: "Although Liu Jinu has moved to Langya, it is not a problem to destroy Nanyan with the strength of the Beifu army, but Nanyan is weak after all, and it is not as good as General Wei who recovered the whole territory of Hebei after breaking Tuoba Yi, so please ask my brother-in-law to listen to a word of persuasion, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, in this way, you and I may be able to get a wealth and wealth, otherwise, once General Wei comes to the door, I will be reduced to a prisoner at the lightest, and my head will fall to the ground!" ”

"Hey~~" Lu Xun sighed, a little unwilling, and a little helpless! (To be continued......)
