When the snow became thinner and thinner, Qin Chengen finally waited for news from the capital.

After reading the letter in his hand, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a few deeper, and the whole person looked like he had suddenly aged again.

Han Shicong asked nervously, "What did the Holy Lord say?" ”

Qin Chengen smiled miserably, "Hehe, King Yanyun has won us again, if you don't enter Youzhou, let's pull out the camp and go east!" ”

Han Shicong sat back in his chair sluggishly, and sighed with blank eyes, "It seems that it is indeed difficult to defeat him, I only hope that we can win a complete victory in this Eastern Crusade, so that we can suppress him in the future." ”

Qin Chengen sighed with a complicated expression, "You and I have seen the scene in Youzhou City, and it is only a matter of time before the rise of Youzhou City is a matter of time before the terrain of Liaodong is complex, and although the small country of Goryeo is small, it is under the eyes of Liaojin!" You and I are going, and we should be careful."

On this day, 50,000 horses entrenched outside Youzhou City began to set camp.

On the side of the capital, Zhao Ze had to make the household department make some regressions after venting like thunder!

Although I am still angry, this step back is not unacceptable! In terms of Da Zhao's current treasury, it is actually abundant, but Zhao Ze is unwilling to spend money on Song Yi. But no matter how Yan Yun said it, it was all the territory of Da Zhao, and Song Yi made such a loss to beg for money! Zhao Zeda can pretend not to see it!

But in the long run, if you don't kill the dozen or so old immortal sour Confucians, I don't know how this group of educated scholars will ruin the reputation of the court!

More importantly, you can't let the ignorant students in the capital sympathize with Yan Yun's side, which will have an extremely adverse impact on the capital.

Grain and grass materials, in fact, before the 50,000 army was launched, Zhao Ze, Wang Weishi and others left behind! The dry food carried by those 50,000 people was already beyond the norm, and the capital had already mobilized the follow-up grain and grass, and it could be pulled out as long as something went wrong on Yanyun's side!

So when Qin Chengen's 50,000 soldiers and horses turned eastward, another hidden army of grain and grass also went east in an instant!

As for Yan Yun's so-called money for the construction of the yamen, the household department symbolically sent a little bit and asked the more than ten sour Confucians to go back to Youzhou to recover their lives!

Although there was not much money to be asked for, the task was finally successfully completed, and more than a dozen sour people left the capital in high spirits.

As for kneeling outside the palace gate for almost half a night on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is really not worth mentioning for people like them! There is gold under the knees of the literati, but for some stubborn purposes in the heart, the knees of the literati can also be said to be soft

Sour Confucianism, after all, is also Confucianism.

On the side of Youzhou, although there is no 50,000 troops outside the city, there is not a very good movement from the Dangxiang clan!

Last year's snow lasted a little longer! This has led to some tribes among the Dangxiang tribes who live by hunting, and some people have starved to death and froze to death!

Although such things were common in the Dangxiang clan in previous years, because they heard that the Yeli clan and the Pochao clan had gone to Yanyun to live a good life, some people went to the Tuoba clan patriarch for help when they were cold and hungry. As a result, it was ignored, because the Tuoba clan also had a lot of things happen this year

First of all, it taught a few disobedient younger brothers of the Pochao clan and the Yeli clan, and some strength was also lost between them; The second is that the snow lasted too long, which caused the previous battle to delay the hunting time of the Tuoba clan, which made the Tuoba clan's storage this year not abundant.

However, in addition to the Xiang Li clan, some of the other clans that were not naturally closest to the Tuoba clan began to be dissatisfied, and when the number of deaths increased, some people finally began to flee to Yanyun without being able to bear the constraints of the tribe.

As the number of people fleeing increases, the rise of resentment turns into conflict, causing the Tuoba clan to launch another purge!

This time, more people fled to Yan Yun and followed in the footsteps of the Pochao clan and the Ye Li clan!

When these people were still looking for a way to meet King Yanyun in Yanyun, the four party departments dominated by the Tuoba clan had already chased into Yanyun and started a fight in Yanyun.

Killed all the way to Ulzhou, so the Ulzhou defender Luo Kedi ordered to prevent the two sides from launching a conflict in Yanyun, and blocked the Tuoba clan's offensive with two thousand light horses!

This move made the Tuoba clan very annoyed, and after Luo Ke's enemy sent the fleeing part of the Dangxiang clan into the city, he ordered to attack Ulzhou!

The battle lasted for about three days, and the defenders of the whole city of Ulju were only four or five thousand people, which was difficult to hold, but Luo Kedi was a brave and resourceful general under the banner of the mighty army!

In Ulzhou, the residents of the Ulzhou area have always been loved, and they have mobilized many people in the city, plus thousands of Dangxiang people who have fled, and they have been stunned to defend the tens of thousands of horses of the Tuoba clan!

But although the attack did not last for a long time, the Tuoba clan had already sent people to ask for reinforcements, and Luo Ke's side also sent people to send the news to Youzhou, and also sent a signal for help to the surrounding states

When Song Yi received the news, he was teasing his daughter.

Xiao Wushuang is babbling now, but she can't shout words like daddy, so Song Yi has been teaching her to call daddy.

Hearing that the Dangxiang Tuoba clan was in turmoil, Song Yi's heart instantly tensed, the Xixia people are not easy to mess with, but they finally knew that the enemy side of Luo Ke had not yet been defeated, and he would defend Ulzhou, so he immediately went straight to the courtyard where Cui Wei was doing temporary errands!

And this time, the patriarch of the Nori clan also participated in the discussion!

Fight or make peace, this is the topic of discussion!

The two groups of people have their own opinions, and the patriarch of the Yeli clan, Ye Li Qinchuan, naturally proposed to fight, and because Goryeo is now temporarily unable to use Ye Li Qinchuan and others to go on the expedition! She can't wait to take the lead!

However, some civil officials on the side of Youzhou think that peace is the main thing, after all, this is not a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile, the combat power of the party departments is strong, and I don't know how much manpower and financial resources it will cost to fight for a while! The current Yanyun can't afford to consume it

But on the other hand, Cui Wei and others are in favor of fighting!

Now the clansmen of the Yeli clan have all thrown themselves to Yanyun's side, and the Tuoba clan is so bold that they attack Ulzhou, so they naturally want to teach a lesson! As for peace talks, it should be fought first

Actually, Song Yi thinks so too!

Even if we want to make peace, we must fight first and then speak, but if we want to fight, we cannot be defeated, and we must teach the four party departments a lesson, so that we can get a period of stability and grasp more initiative when negotiating conditions!

But Yanyun's troops are not much, especially in Ruzhou and other places, and the troops cannot be transferred without authorization, and there are four or five thousand people stationed in the city here in Ulzhou because of the precautions against the Dangxiang people, where can there be soldiers?

After thinking about it, he could only transfer about 10,000 people from Youzhou, among which there were several thousand of Yeli's Pochao and others, which could just come in handy.

However, if the troops are transferred from Youzhou, they need to fight quickly, otherwise if there is a lack of troops on the side of Youzhou, it will always be an unstable factor for Song Yi!

This discussion lasted for most of the day, and in the end there was still no clear conclusion, and when everyone went back to rest, Song Yi walked to the place where the patriarch of the Yeli clan lived
