The Wei army guarding here suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

By occupying Tongming Pass, the Yan army opened a troop transport channel to the Northern Continent, which could continuously send the army to the front line and into the territory of Wei.

Yan and Wei faced each other for the first time, and Yan had the upper hand.

Receiving this news, although Feng Miaojun was in a heavy mood, he was not flustered. The rout of Tongming Pass was expected, it was a bridgehead for the two armies to confront each other, and if the Yan army couldn't even capture it, this war would be a joke.

The question now is, how will the new summer react?

Feng Miaojun privately negotiated a mutual aid agreement with Yun Kui, but the people of Xinxia did not know about it. The current Yanwei War is not directly related to the Xinxia people, and if she insists on participating in the war, it will inevitably arouse the opposition of Xinxia and even the land.

The queen has been in power for more than eight years, and many old ministers can understand her inclinations and intentions. She summoned a few important ministers, and Xiang Wang Yuan said: "King Yan attacked Wei at this time, but the battle of Tongmingguan was still smooth, and if it was time to overcome difficulties, there would be criticism in the country." My king will learn from it. ”

That is to say, to change the will of the people. Feng Miaojun's fingertips tapped a few times on the armrest, "Sure enough, an opportunity is needed." ”

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Fortunately, the common people generally have a hatred for Yan Guo, and it is not impossible to take advantage of it. ”

Feng Miaojun has the heart of joining Wei to resist Yan, and Wang Ting will naturally gradually guide public opinion in the past few years, and give Yan Guo more negative comments, because the general public's impression of Yan Guo is "there is no blood and deep hatred, but it is extremely annoying".

However, the basis of the joint dispatch of troops by Wei and Xia was that the dislike of the common people for the Yan State must prevail over the hatred of the Wei people. Is this possible?

Before finding a breakthrough, Feng Miaojun did not plan to act rashly.

......

The western part of the Hokuriku is full of war, but the central and eastern parts are calm.

The eyes of all living beings were focused on the battlefield of Wei, but except for Wei and Yan, other countries and forces were all indifferently watching.

Time passed little by little in this strange pattern, six months.

The Yan army, which had been able to break through by blitzkrieg and surprise attacks at the beginning, entered positional warfare after entering the vast hinterland of central and southern Wei, and began to struggle.

This is also a necessary stage for almost all major powers to go to war. In order to avoid this massive consumption of personnel, money, armament and time, the Wei State once came up with a surprise attack on Inzi City and killed the father and son of the king of Yu to end the war and put it into practice, but now the Yan army can't draw a gourd in the same way-

In order to prevent the same accident from happening to him, Xiao Yan had made all preparations in advance, and Wang Cheng was as well guarded as an iron bucket, and the Yanren assassins couldn't find a chance.

In this case, the march of the Yan army can only be carried out step by step, following the classic mode of "attacking-occupying-defending". This means that the army must be left to protect the achievements everywhere you pass, otherwise the cities and transportation channels that were finally captured will be snatched back by the Wei people in a blink of an eye.

With the two sides almost evenly matched, such losses are unprecedented.

As the new Xia Xiang Wang Yuan said, Feng Miaojun received a secret report from the Yan court, and the opposition to the attack on Wei was high in his country, and there was one crucial point:

This time, the magnates of the Yan Kingdom also expressed their opposition, believing that the attack was too hasty and that Dayan was not ready.

In short, the Yan King insisted on his opinion in the midst of opposition, so the morale of the Yan army, which was struggling with difficulty, was slightly demoralized after penetrating deep into the enemy's territory.

Looking at the Wei army again, it already occupies the moral high point of resisting aggression and defending the country, and it is fighting at home, and it has the advantages of time, location, and people, so the front line is still pressed back to the south for more than 100 miles, recovering many lost ground.

Feng Miaojun was slightly relieved when he saw the battle report. General Hong also nodded and said, "If you want to swallow Wei, the Yan State should be at least five times stronger than it." I don't know why King Yan is so anxious? Now that the Yan army has fallen into a stalemate too early, it will be even more unfavorable to it in the long run. ”

Feng Miaojun has promoted many young courtiers to entrust them with important responsibilities over the years, and Liang Yu took over the post of auxiliary political servant as Fu Lingchuan's deputy. This person has a keen mind and the ability to touch and bypass, but he was only twenty-eight years old at the time, so he couldn't help but ask for advice: "Last time, Yan attacked Xi, and the whole country was warlike;

"Of course, persimmons have to be pinched softly, but this is not the main reason. Feng Miaojun nodded to Fu Lingchuan, "Fu Qing will come on." ”

The stakes of this should indeed be known to the ministers, Fu Lingchuan said: "Do you know how long it took for Yan to annex other countries before it invaded Xi?"

The ministers calculated in their hearts, and only then did they have a humane: "It seems that it has been ten years." ”

"Fifteen years. Fu Lingchuan said, "Cultivators are in high positions in the Yan Kingdom, and there are twelve cultivators in the generals alone, with the deepest qualifications, the highest official positions, and the most generous rewards over the years. The so-called one person ascends to heaven, and their clansmen, protégés, and even old friends also benefit, either in a high position or on the side of the rich. According to our statistics, more than seventy percent of the wealth of Yan Kingdom is in the hands of this small group of wealthy magnates. ”

After a pause, he continued, "King Yan and his subordinates are all cultivators, and they have a long lifespan, and their thrones and official positions have not been changed for a long time. Over time, the strong will always be strong. In this way, it is not easy for newcomers to make a name for themselves. ”

Everyone is an old oilman in the officialdom, and they understand it when they hear it.

The greatest power, the best resources, and the most wealth are all monopolized by these long-lived cultivator families, and the cake is so big that even if the latecomers have talent and ability, it will be difficult to get a piece.

Unless......

Unless the cake suddenly gets bigger.

"If the newly promoted civil and military generals want to get official positions and be rewarded, they must have merit. And in the peaceful and prosperous times, it is not easy to take credit. There is only one most direct and brutal way. ”

Liang Yu understood: "War." ”

If you win a war, you will have military merits, and only when you have military merits can you rise to the top and go to the monarch to earn rewards.

It is said that there are talented people in the country, but "talented people" must have a chance if they want to dominate the scene, otherwise they will always be crushed to death by their predecessors.

Before the invasion of the Yan Kingdom, there had been no external expansion for fifteen years, and the nobles had a strong desire for this, and of course supported the war.

"In the same way, Yan Guo has made a lot of profits from Xi and Pu, but before it has been digested, it will start the next war, and people are naturally unwilling. ”

Although the Xi Kingdom had decayed before its demise, and the Pu Kingdom had been divided before it was annexed, they were still a large country on the northern and southern continents. ()
