When Ren Tianxing commanded the 400,000 Yan army and arrived at the three counties of Yanbei, the Jin army had already captured Leize County, and the former army even crossed Yisu County and arrived at Shuangtang County.

Ren Tianxing led the Yan army to fight with the former soldiers of the Jin army first, the scale of the battle was not very large, seeing that the Yan army had a lot of troops, the Jin army took the initiative to retreat, and then, Ren Tianxing took advantage of the situation to advance to Yisu County, and the main force of the Jin army launched a decisive battle in Yisu County.

The strength of the two sides is equal, and the strength is almost the same, and what is competing at this time is completely the strategy and command ability of the two commanders, Ding Feng and Ren Tianxing.

The battle between the two armies of Jin and Yan has come and gone, and there have been no less than ten small battles, both sides have their own victories and defeats, and they also have casualties, and it seems that they are fighting on a comparable footing, but after all, the Jin army is fighting in a different place, and the Yan army is fighting on the mainland, and it has a draw with the Jin army under the advantage of geography and people, which is obviously slightly inferior to the Yan army.

However, the Yan army led by Ren Tianxing was already the best wave of Yan army.

On the other side, the 400,000 Yan army with Bu Ying as the leader rushed to Bianyang County, but the Yan army had not yet arrived in Bianyang County, but was halfway through the road, and was unbelievably attacked by the Jin army.

It was the Seventh Army of the Jin Kingdom that could invade the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom with lightning speed and dare to attack the 400,000-strong army.

The biggest feature of the Seventh Army is that it is fast, it has passed through several counties and counties in the Yan Country all the way, it is like entering a no-man's land, and the local armies have not had time to organize an effective interception, and the Seventh Army has already galloped through.

When the Seventh Legion had already launched a surprise attack on the Yan Army, the urgent military information sent by the officials from all over the Yan Country finally reached Bu Ying's hands, which means that the degree of the Fifth Army at that time had already exceeded the degree of the Yan State to transmit information. This point is too terrifying, and it also makes Bu Ying dumb and can't say how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis.

The sneak attack of the Seventh Legion did not kill or injure many Yan troops. Their purpose is not to fight to the death with the main force of the Yan Army, their goal is the Yan Army's accompanying food, grass and armament materials.

After a surprise attack. Most of the Yan army's grain, grass and military resources were destroyed by the Fifth Army, and the Yan army's march was also slowed down.

The attack on the Yan army this time has nothing to do with Bu Ying's ability, after all, he is a man, not a god, it is impossible to be an unpredictable prophet, no one would have imagined that in his own country, in a place where there is no hostile situation, he can be attacked by a large number of enemy troops?

The 400,000 Yan army commanded by Bu Ying had already lost a move before they had even made contact with the main force of the Jin army. was dragged to death in the Yan Kingdom.

As for Jin Zhuo's Yan army, it was the most difficult way to fight, and they faced 400,000 You troops.

It may be that the successive defeats in Youdi have left a shadow on the psychology of the Yan people, and this time against the You army, the Yan army also seems to be cautious, even in their own territory, they are cautious to the point of taking every step of the way.

But even so, the Yan army still suffered heavy losses.

For the Yan army, which was fighting cautiously, Yin Kai didn't even pay attention to it, and the unified army directly bypassed the Yan army. Straight into the hinterland of the country.

On the battlefield, I am afraid that only You people dare to fight like this, and they are not afraid of their own logistics supply lines being cut off, and they are not afraid of going deep into the enemy's territory and falling into a heavy encirclement. It's a rampage regardless of the disregard.

Yan Jun originally planned to hold You Jun back so that he could no longer invade the Yan country, but he didn't expect You Jun to make a move.

This time, the Yan army panicked. If this You army is allowed to invade the Yan country, I don't know how many cities will be slaughtered. How many civilians were killed and wounded, and even the 400,000 You army could hit Zhaoyang in one go.

At this time, even if the Yan army is unwilling to engage the You army head-on, it will not work. Jin Zhuo could only give the order, and the whole army pursued Youjun.

As a result, seeing that the Yan army was no longer holding the camp, but the whole army was chasing after him, Yin Kai immediately killed a horse pistol, turned around, and started a decisive battle with the pursuing Yan army.

On the one hand, it was prepared for an easy battle, and on the other hand, it was forced to rush out of the battle helplessly, and the final result can be imagined.

The Yan army was once again defeated by the You army, and the 400,000 army was chased by the You army for more than 100 miles, and finally all of them were defeated and retreated to the area of Fengwu, the county town of Shiling County.

Seeing that the Yan army was cowering inside and outside Fengwu and avoiding the battle, Yin Kai commanded the You army and attacked all the cities and counties around Fengwu, and finally left only the city of Fengwu, which seemed to be planning to trap the Yan army in Fengwu.

The Yan army with Jin Zhuo as the leader can't fight now, and can't defend this lonely city, so in the end they can only ask Zhaoyang for help and ask the imperial court to send reinforcements.

The three places are at war, and the war situation in the three places is not favorable to the Yan country, Ren Tianxing and the Jin army are fighting frequently, the loss is very large, in the imperial court to ask for reinforcements, although the Buying department has not yet fought with the Jin army, but the grain and grass and military funds were attacked, to the imperial court to ask for grain and grass and military funds at the same time to be able to compete with the cavalry of the fifth army of the Jin country, Jin Zhuo is even more miserable, was killed by the You army defeated, not to mention, and is now trapped in Fengwu in Shiling County, at any time there is a danger of annihilation.

For the current predicament, Yin Xiang and the Yanguo court are anxious and helpless.

Now, there are less than three combatable regiments that can be requisitioned in the Yan Kingdom, and most of them are new soldiers, how should these 200,000 soldiers and horses be divided, whether it is for Ren Tianxing, or for Bu Ying or Jin Zhuo? If these more than 200,000 soldiers and horses are sent out, Zhaoyang will almost become an empty city, once an enemy army sneaks over, Zhaoyang will not say resist, and he will not even have the ability to protect himself, and the imperial court will not sit and wait for people to slaughter?

The princes and nobles in Zhaoyang City unanimously opposed sending out the last remaining soldiers and horses, but if they didn't send reinforcements, the three-way army commanded by Ren Tianxing, Buying, and Jin Zhuo would not be able to withstand the enemy, how could this be good?

Now, Yin Xiang has no idea at all, in the case of the enemy's large-scale pressure, any opportunism is useless, even if there are all kinds of political scheming and intrigues, it is useless at this time.

In the past few days, Yin Xiang has really felt the strong pressure, this is not a question of whether she can keep the throne, but Yan Guo has come to the point of life and death.

On this day, late at night, Yin Xiang still didn't sleep. In the study of the royal palace, he flipped through the battle reports that came back from the front. There are so many battle reports, and they have to be put together so high. None of them were good news, all of them were urgent documents.

The battle reports from all walks of life can be summed up in two words. But Yin Xiang can't afford to send reinforcements at all now, no matter what, the capital is the top priority, and it is impossible to send all the soldiers out without leaving a single soldier.

Yin Xiang stood up, sighed faintly, and paced back and forth in the study in a distraught mood. At this moment, a palace maid walked in from outside, and Fu Shen said, "King, General Xue is asking to see you outside the palace!"

"Who?" Yin Xiang didn't react for a while. Looking at the palace maid who reported the news with a frown, the palace maid cautiously replied: "It's General Xue Rongxue!"

"It's him!" If the palace maid didn't say Xue Rong's name, Yin Xiang would almost forget about this person's existence.

Xue Rong was also a famous general of the Yan Kingdom, but it has declined in recent years, and the factor that caused his decline was the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, the Jin State used troops against the Mu State, and the Yan State sent troops to reinforce the Mu State, and the commander of the Yan Army at that time was Xue Rong, and as a result, in the battle with the Jin Army, Xue Rong suffered setbacks again and again. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat back to the Yan State, and the Mu State was successfully annexed by the Jin State.

After returning to China, Xue Rong, who was the general of the defeated army, not only suffered a cold reception from Yin Ji, but was also demoted. From a dignified general to a celebrant general.

General Si Li is similar to General Zhendian, but he just has an empty title and has no real power. Not to mention the power of the army.

Xue Rong, who had been silent for so long, suddenly came to see him, and Yin Xiang was quite surprised. Originally, she didn't want to see Xue Rong, but after thinking about it. After all, Xue Rong was also a generation of famous generals, and it is not impossible to listen to his views on the current predicament.

After thinking about it, she nodded and said to the palace maid, "Please invite him to the study!"

"Yes, my lord!" the maid agreed, bowed and withdrew.

It didn't take long for Xue Rong to walk in from outside. Seeing Yin Xiang, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "The last general, Xue Rong, see the king!"

"General Xue, please get up!" Yin Xiang waved his hand slowly. After Xue Rong got up, she asked casually, "I don't know what General Xue has to do when he asks to see Ben Shuai late at night?"

Xue Rong's face was straight, and he said: "The last general is worried about the battle situation ahead, so he took the liberty to ask for a meeting late at night, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

Yin Xiang nodded, and asked straight to the point: "Presumably General Xue also has some understanding of the current war situation, my country is currently short of troops, and he is overstretched, does General Xue have a good strategy?"

Xue Rong slowly lowered his head and whispered, "This ......"

Yin Xiang raised his head and said, "There are no outsiders here, just say anything General Xue has to say!"

Xue Rong pondered for a moment, Fang said: "The king wants soldiers, it's not nothing, the king originally captured the family army of the princes of the Twelve Roads as laborers, and sent them to build the Tianshang Great Canal, although they confiscated their weapons and equipment, but they are soldiers after all, as long as they don't become old, weak, sick and disabled, their combat power is especially good, as long as they put down their hoes, put on their armor again, and pick up weapons, they can immediately be sent to the battlefield to fight and kill the enemy." ”

Xue Rong's words reminded Yin Xiang that, yes, those family troops who were pulled to serve as laborers could indeed turn them back into soldiers on the battlefield. After Xue Rong finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, Xue Rong sighed secretly and continued: "King, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Yin Xiang's face was happy, and her nerves relaxed a lot, and she said with a smile: "General Xue has something to say. ”

Xue Rong said: " Even if our country now pulls all the laborers of the Tianshang Canal to the battlefield, it will not change the current predicament of our country, the two armies of Jin You are the best at conquest of the army that the last general has ever seen, if these two armies are enemies of each other, they will inevitably lose both, but if they join forces in one place, they can sweep the world, no one can beat them, now, the two armies of Jin You have obviously joined forces, even if our country sends more troops, it is difficult to compete with the Jin You coalition army, not to mention, the Jin country is now only eight army corps, behind it, there is a stronger fourth army and the Iron Lion Army......”

The joy that had just appeared on Yin Xiang's face disappeared, and was replaced by a face full of worry. Xue Rong's words are certainly not good, but it does not mean that they are unreasonable, Yan Guo is now almost at the limit, and Jin Guo still has a lot of trump cards in his hands that are useless.

Is it possible for the Yan State to single-handedly resist the Jin Kingdom and the huge forces associated with the Jin Kingdom? Not to mention, there are also murderous and barbaric You people standing with the Jin people now.

The more Yin Xiang thought about it, the more she had a headache, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead lightly, and asked, "That's according to General Xue's opinion." What should we do now?"

Xue Rong looked up at Yin Xiang and wanted to say something. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. He lowered his head, bit his lip tightly, and remained silent.

Seeing his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yin Xiang was anxious, and said in a deep voice: "What time is it now, General Xue can just say it if he has something to say, stop babbling!"

Xue Rong turned his heart sideways and said, "There is only one way out for today." It is...... Drop!"

"What?" Yin Xiang wondered if her ears had misheard, and she stood up, her apricot eyes wide open, glaring at Xue Rong directly. Xue Rong dared to say surrender in front of him, was he too bold, or did he feel that he was too easy to deceive?

"Smack!"

Yin Xiang, who was standing there, was stunned for a while before he suddenly slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Xue Rong, you are so bold. He persuaded the king to surrender to the enemy......"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xue Rong hurriedly explained: "The king misunderstood, what the last general said was not to surrender to the Jin people or the You people, but to surrender to the Jin King Zhao Yu. ”

"Huh?" The anger on Yin Xiang's face slowly turned into a daze. I didn't understand what Xue Rong meant by this.

Xue Rong said: "Lin Haotian has always been under the banner of recovering the fief for Zhao Yu, fighting in the south and in the north, and annexing countries everywhere. Now my country surrenders to Zhao Yu and surrenders me to Zhao Yu. In this way, Lin Haotian has no excuse to attack my Yandi. Naturally, the war also stopped. ”

Yin Xiang narrowed her eyes and said in a condensed voice: "But if you do this, in the future, there will be no Yan Country in the world!"

"It is much better to take the initiative to surrender to King Jin and hand over the fief than to be annihilated by Jin You. ”

While speaking, Xue Rong knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "If you continue to fight, it will only increase the casualties of my Yanguo disciples, and it will not help, I hope that the king will think twice, and put the lives of my Yanguo's disciples first!"

Looking at Xue Rong who was kneeling on the ground and crying, Yin Xiang slowly sat back on the collapse and handed over the fief to King Jin, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to destroy the country, but if he didn't do this, would the Yan country be able to survive? I'm afraid it would be even worse, and finally become a river of blood for the children of the Yan people, and it would be difficult to escape the bad luck of destroying the country.

Yin Xiang didn't speak for a long time, her eyes were dull, and her face changed uncertainly.

Seeing this, Xue Rong kowtowed to her again and again, and said urgently: "King, the blood of my Yanguo disciples has been shed enough, and if I continue to fight, not only will the Yandi become rubble, but the blood of my Yanren will also be drained......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Yin Xiang waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Don't say it again, your king has already understood, go down first!"

"The King's ......"

"Go down!" Yin Xiang shouted angrily, her eyes almost bursting with fire.

Xue Rong shivered, didn't dare to say more, kowtowed to Yin Xiang again, and then stood up tremblingly and walked out slowly.

After Xue Rong left, Yin Xiang's tears also fell, and she couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, could it be that the Yan Kingdom, which had been glorious for thousands of years, was really going to die at her own hands?

Xue Rong's admonition was a heavy blow to Yin Xiang, but soon, an even heavier blow appeared.

Within a few days, the second son, Yin Yuan, and the fifth son, Yin Yu, both escaped from Zhaoyang by taking advantage of the turbulent gap in the imperial court.

Yin Yuan fled to the south, colluded with the remaining princes, held high the banner of impeachment of Yin Xiang, and wanted to establish himself as the king and fight against the stormy Yan court.

If Yin Yuan's actions are still within Yin Xiang's acceptance range, then Yin Yu's actions are completely unbearable for Yin Xiang.

Yin Yu did not go south with Yin Yuan, but went north to the Jin country, this incident was too big a blow to the morale of the Yan country and even the Yan army, you must know that Yin Yu is a royal family, is the younger brother of the current Yan King, and his choice to defect to the Jin country is undoubtedly sending a strong message to all the Yan people, the Yan country is no longer good, and the current predicament of the Yan country cannot be described with precariousness, but it has reached the point where it will fall apart soon.

Yin Yuan fled to the south to openly confront the imperial court, and Yin Yu suddenly turned to the Jin State, these two things made the Yan State that had fallen into a desperate situation even worse, especially Yin Yu's defection, which caused many Yan people to drag their families to the north for refuge, and even began to desert on a large scale in front of the two armies.

This is not over, two months later, bad news came from Shiling County, the Yan army trapped in Fengwu was completely annihilated by the You army, and the commander Jin Zhuo and the deputy marshals Yang Zhao and Lu You were all martyred.

After this battle report was transmitted back to Zhaoyang, it was equivalent to giving the Yanguo Imperial Court a fatal blow.

The 400,000 army was wiped out, Jin Zhuo, Yang Zhao, and Lu You were all famous generals of the Yan Kingdom, and even such famous generals were killed in battle, who could still stop You Jun? Who could save Yan Guo?

Now, not to mention that the people of the Yan Kingdom are in despair, even Yin Xiang and the court of the Yan Kingdom can no longer see any hope, and the panic of the imminent destruction of the country is spreading like a plague in Zhaoyang.

The current situation of the Yan Kingdom has reached the point where Yin Xiang must make a decision quickly, whether to use the strength of the whole country to fight the enemy to the death or lay down his arms and surrender.

This time against the Yan country, Lin Haotian has made up his mind, even if he exerts all the strength of the whole country, he will swallow the Yan country in one gulp, and the lowest goal must be to attack Zhaoyang and force the capital of the Yan country to move south, which will greatly damage his vitality.

It's just that the battle went much smoother than he expected, especially the You Army, which was even more competitive than the Jin Army, and frequently won victories on the battlefield in the western part of the Yan Land, marching forward with great triumph and driving straight in, and even played a brilliant record of 400,000 You Army annihilating 400,000 Yan Army, which is impressive.

Originally, Lin Haotian planned to personally lead the Fourth Army and the Iron Lion Army when the battle ahead was unfavorable, but now it seems that there is no need for that, and he can enjoy the fruits of victory in Liuhe. (To be continued......)
