The news related to the Yan State came to Tuoba Yi one after another, which made him itchy and unbearable, but he could only sit back and watch the good time pass in vain, and the Yan State was ruled by Feng Ba, and in just a few months, he even gave a heavy hand, revitalized the government, purged the officials, persuaded the agriculture and mulberry, and the province was thinly paid, set up Taixue, attached importance to education, calmed the turmoil internally, and showed favor to Rouran and Khitan externally, which has initially stabilized the situation in the Yan Kingdom.

In fact, the turmoil in the Yan Kingdom was the best time to attack Longcheng before, but Ji's troops were pinned down by Tianjin, unable to move, compared with missing a great opportunity, what is even more worrying is that Tuoba Yi set a three-year deadline for removing Tianjin, two years have passed, but there is no clue!

Tuoba Yi walked around irritably with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows were tightly twisted, and the eldest grandson Fei also had a gloomy face, looked at Tuoba Yi, shook his head and sighed: "King Wei, if you want to break Tianjin, the best way is to lure the defenders out and ambush and encircle them with superior cavalry, but since you took office as the assassin of Youzhou, all the methods you can think of have been used, such as exposing the grain road, sending Zhongshan, thistle Miaoling women appearing nearby, and many other ways, but the Tianjin defenders do not enter the oil and salt, that is, they shrink in the nest and do not come out, hey~~ According to the old man, It's better to tell the truth to the Lord, if you take advantage of the Lord's pleasure, you won't have much of a problem thinking about it. ”

Tuoba Yi said without thinking: "It's been two years since I came to Tianjin, and now I have 80,000 troops in my hands. Will the bureaucrats talk about it in private? Lone can't afford to lose that person, and then talk back, even if Lone is retired. But in the past two years, the Lord has become more and more moody, who knows when the Lord will be happy? And who can guarantee that it will not suddenly turn against the other? ”

The eldest grandson Fei groaned: "Does King Yiwei mean to attack forcibly? ”

"Hey~~" Tuoba Yi also sighed helplessly: "What else can you do if you don't fight?" Fortunately, there are only more than 10,000 defenders in Tianjin, and my 80,000 army has sent 70,000 troops, so it is expected that it will not incur such a crushing defeat as last time. ”

Changsun Fei smiled bitterly: "Even if you can break Tianjin, at least thirty or forty thousand people will be killed, and you must fight quickly, I heard that General Nawei in the Huan Xuan Dynasty soon after the Jin Dynasty established himself, he sent troops from Guangzhou to take Hunan and Jing Erzhou." and a surprise attack on Wuguan. forced Yao Xing to give up the land of Nanxiang, Shunyang, Xinye and other twelve counties, and then took advantage of the rebellion to march into Yizhou. General Jiangshanwei of the Jin Chamber has already made up two thirds. There are nearly 200,000 troops under his command. Among them, there are as many as 100,000 direct troops, and the strength has risen greatly!

According to another detailed report, General Wei exercised soldiers and horses day and night in Jiangling. It is expected to be a trip as late as next year!

Between Qin, Yan, Wei and Liu Jinu, although the Qin State was taken by General Wei, but since Liu Bobo stood on his own, the Qin State has fallen into the encirclement on all sides, if General Wei sends troops into the pass, not to mention that he will directly face the more than 100,000 elites of the Qin State, even if he destroys the Qin State, Guanzhong will also be attacked on three sides, and will contain most of his troops and attack the Qin State, now is not the time!

In addition, in the Yan Kingdom, because the Yan lord Murong Xi is dead, and the powerful minister of the Yan State, Feng Ba, and General Wei also have a bit of old feelings, so General Wei has no reason to kill Yan. As for Jiangdong's Liu Jinu, and General Wei not only did not tear the skin, but also traded, within a few years, the possibility of the two armies fighting, if the old man is not mistaken, General Wei will send troops next year, the goal should be to attack thistle, so King Wei might as well press the troops, wait for General Wei to come to attack, relying on the strong city to defend, and then ask His Majesty to send troops from Hebei, multi-pronged, in one fell swoop! ”

"This" Tuoba Yi showed an obvious color of intent, according to the proposal of the eldest grandson Fei, it is a safe policy, he roughly estimated, if Wei Feng dares to come, he is sixty percent sure of winning, but all this is based on assumptions, how can Wei Feng not come? The point is, there is only one year left in the three-year period, and his time is running out!

After a long time, Tuoba Yi shook his head: "General Changsun's words are good, but the surnamed Wei may not attack this next year, if we attack Tianjin again next year, if we don't conquer it for a long time, if we are not careful, we will exceed the deadline, how can we explain to Your Majesty?" ”

The eldest grandson was silent, according to common sense, the most taboo to set a time limit for marching and fighting, Tuoba Jue has been through a hundred battles, it is impossible to be unclear, but he set a three-year period, putting Tuoba Yi in a disadvantageous situation, and I don't know what he thinks.

Today's Tuoba Jue is becoming more and more arbitrary, and the advice against the ear is becoming more and more difficult to hear, and now almost no one dares to speak out, and those who offend Long Yan will lose their official positions at the least, and their lives will be lost at worst!

Tuoba Yi obviously understood that the chance of forcibly attacking Tianjin was not great, so he added: "Even if you can't do a quick battle and get the help of the surnamed Wei, but it is better to come early than late, the later he comes, the more fully prepared, and the more unfavorable it is to our army. It can also be used as a precursor to the siege, and two months later, the troops will be sent to Tianjin! ”

Changsun Fei's face showed a hint of bitterness, with the common people as a precursor, this is the atrocity that Shi Hu can do, since the founding of the Wei State, although it is not possible to talk about benevolent government, but it will not kill civilians indiscriminately for no reason, but what else can be done, with elite soldiers to assist in attacking Tianjin, the casualties can simply make people's hearts drip blood, and under the expediency of the two phases, they can only drive the civilians!

Sighing again, the eldest grandson Fei asked, "The last general will immediately arrange manpower, I don't know if there are enough ten thousand people?" ”

Tuoba Yi pondered slightly, then nodded and said, "It should be enough, there is General Lao Changsun." ”

"The last will retire!" The eldest grandson Fei Shili left

After Tuoba Yi explained to Tuoba Jue that Wei Feng might come to help, he obtained the power to control the Hebei armies, and after emergency integration, he gathered 50,000 pure cavalry in Zhongshan, about 280 miles away from Tianjin, and once something happened, he could cross the Yellow River within two days, and Changsun Fei also captured nearly 13,000 people everywhere, including the Yan people, the remnants of the Jin people, the Khitan, Goguryeo, Rouran and other ethnic groups, men, women and children, on September 10, Tuoba Yi personally led 70,000 cavalry and captured the people, and marched to Tianjin.

After five days of marching, the army arrived at the city of Tianjin, now Tianjin is no longer two years ago that leaking wind everywhere miserable situation, in addition to the small scale, has become a decent city, because there are a large number of women in the city, after combining with the garrison, actually gave birth to more than 10,000 newborn babies, has the foundation of prosperity, and the port behind the city, also built a sand embankment about a mile long on the side of the Yellow River, otherwise it will not take a few years, a large amount of sediment brought by the Yellow River will make the port silt up.

On the day of his arrival, Tuoba set up camp and launched an attack the next day.

Different from the previous time, this time there are nearly 1,000 more arrow blocking vehicles, that is, several wheelbarrows are standing side by side, and a strong wooden plank is erected in front of it, which is pushed by the people, and mixed with the arrow blocking vehicles are wooden donkeys, rushing vehicles, ladders and other siege equipment.

"Knock knock~~" A drum sounded in the formation, and all the military formations slowly moved forward.

Jiang Xuan, who was at the head of the city, suddenly stared at him, and sneered: "I didn't expect Tuoba Yi to be so mad that he coerced the people to attack the city, did he think that Lao Tzu would not dare to release arrows?" Huh~~ It's too much to underestimate us! ”

A subordinate general took over and said: "General Jiang, Tuoba Yi suffered a big loss last time, and he will definitely not attack hastily, according to the last general, today is likely to be a tentative feint, and according to the brothers, Hebei soldiers and horses are frequently mobilized, and most of them are concentrated in Zhongshan, about forty or fifty thousand people, could it be that Tuoba Yi still has reinforcements?" ”

Jiang Xuan thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I can't see it, our Tianjin city is small, and there is a dock behind the city, and there is not much difference between besieging with 70,000 soldiers and horses and 100,000, most of the Tuoba Yi wants to lure the general to come to the aid and fight a decisive battle with superior forces!" ”

The general said disdainfully: "That Tuoba Yi can miscalculate, although we only have 15,000 people, but because the rear is near the sea, there is no shortage of supplies, not to mention 100,000 Tuoba Yi, even if it is like Fu Jian, why be afraid of the millions?" It's just to send Tianjin to death! ”

Most people feel the same way.

Jiang Xuan frowned, and thought: "You all come to sum up, Lao Tzu believes that even if the general does not come to help, we can hold Tianjin, but this time Tuoba Yi has mobilized almost all the soldiers and horses of Hebei and Ji to attack, understand from another angle, if you can break Tuoba Yi again, it will be easy to take down Ji and Hebei!"

It's just that with this little bit of soldiers and horses in our hands, there is more than enough to defend the city, and the attack is insufficient, if Tuoba Yi sees the opportunity to retreat, we can only watch, and Wei will lose the battle again this time, and it should not be easy to come to attack after that, which makes it inevitable that the general will have to spend more hands and feet to take Ji and Hebei, so you all talk about it, do you want to send a message to Jiangling to ask the general to come to the decisive battle with Tuoba Yi? Take this opportunity to annihilate the Tuobayi? ”

The city is silent, after all, the stakes are very high, the decisive battle must take all factors into account, a little carelessness will be a devastating consequence, no one can be the master for Wei Feng, and no one dares to take this responsibility!

It took a long time before another general said: "General Jiang, we might as well report the current situation to the general truthfully, how to act, the general has his own measure." ”

Jiang Xuan thought about it, turned his head and shouted: "Come on, prepare a military intelligence, and when the general sees it correctly, he will immediately send it to Jiangling by speedboat!" ”

"Yes!" One of the soldiers galloped away.

Jiang Xuan set his eyes on the city again, the drumbeat under the city became more and more dense, and the forward of the Wei army was getting closer and closer, although the people who started were ordinary people, but Jiang Xuan didn't care at all, the most important thing for the general was the kindness of the woman, not to mention that he was born as a bandit, and the bandit did what he did to rob the common people!

"Put!" Seeing that the Wei army had entered the firing range, Jiang Xuan immediately waved his hand.

In an instant, the stone bullets, giant arrows and eight-inch iron arrows at the head of the city fell like raindrops under the city, and the battle with the Wei army after two years finally kicked off! (To be continued......)
