Huan Wen went to Weizhou to meet Sima Yu, and the two sides chatted happily this time and reached an agreement on the combat goal.

Recover the lost territories such as Chen County and Yingchuan County to relieve the siege of Luoyang, and if there is a chance, there will be a decisive battle with Yan State.

Huan Wen asked to hand over the troops of Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou to him for command, but Sima Yu rejected this plan after thinking about it.

Huan Wen also knew that the other party could not let him get his wish, so he retreated and asked Xu and Yang to send troops to attack Qian County, and Yuzhou soldiers to attack Chen County to respond to his military action.

And he himself sent troops from Nanyang to attack Yingchuan County and open up the passage to Luoyang.

Sima Yu agreed to this plan and issued military orders to the armies of the three places.

Most of the forces of the Jin Kingdom were mobilized, and the situation became tense for a while.

Speaking of the Yan Kingdom, when Murong Ke heard that Huan Wen was out of the mountain, he sighed: "I made a mistake, I only saw that Luoyang had become an isolated city, but I didn't count the impact of the Tang Dynasty's claim to be the emperor on the Jin Kingdom." ”

"In order to prove that he is the orthodoxy of the world, the Jin Kingdom will definitely do his best to fight me. Huan Wen has been lying on the salary for five years, and his sharpness is flourishing, and there are not many chances of winning against it. ”

Murong Qian, the general of the Chinese army, said: "Why should Dazai grow up others to destroy his own prestige, Huan Wen is powerful, and my Yan army is not a vegetarian." ”

Murong Ke shook his head and said, "It's not for fear, we are not prepared, and it is not good for us to start a war rashly." ”

Murong Qian also had to admit this reality, and said helplessly: "Do you want to leave like this?" Luoyang is at my fingertips, and I am really unwilling to give up like this. ”

Murong Ke said: "What can you do if you are unwilling, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." This time, not only Luoyang can't take it, but the land of Yingchuan, Chenjun, and Qiaojun will also be returned. ”

"Bang." Murong Qian hammered the table hatefully: "Tang Guo is not called the emperor in the early years and the emperor in the evening, but he is called the emperor at this juncture, which is really angry with me." ”

Murong Ke shook his head and ordered: "Order King Wu, let him lead his troops to Yingchuan County to stop Huan Wen, and tell him that as long as he delays, there is no need to fight to the death." ”

"Yes."

"Order the defenders of Qian County and Chen County to move all the people away, take away all the property, food, etc., and destroy all the things that cannot be taken away."

"Yes."

"General Murong, you lead people to step up the attack on Luoyang and see if you can break through this city before Huan Wen arrives."

The Yan army's actions were very fast, and Murong Chui rushed to Yingchuan first and set up a defensive line on the front line of Yingshui.

Then he commanded the army to move all the local people, taking away all the food and property that could be taken away, and burning the fire that could not be taken away.

When Huan Wen arrived, what he saw was a ruin, and the Yan army that was waiting for him.

The furious Jin army launched an attack, and the Yan army defended very tenaciously, and on the third day, Huan Wen personally supervised the battle before breaking through the Yingshui defense line.

Murong Chui, who had been prepared for a long time, did not love war at all, and withdrew his troops in advance when he found that something could not be done, and he did not dare to chase after him with the benefit of cavalry.

After that, he continued to harass the Jin army, and the Jin army pursued him and used the advantage of cavalry to escape. When the Jin army withdrew, he fell far behind, waiting for an opportunity to launch a small-scale attack.

Huan Wen knew his intentions, and after two attempts to chase him, he ignored him, and commanded the army to clear the Yan stronghold in Yingchuan and recapture the land.

However, only scorched earth remained in the vast land, and there were few living people to be seen.

At this time, a military intelligence came, and after Huan Wen saw it, his face turned iron-blue.

Xie Yi of Yuzhou sent troops to Chen County to successfully regain the lost territory, although the Yan army took the initiative to retreat, but the achievement of the strategic goal was also a great achievement.

The problem lies in the direction of the county.

When the combined forces of Xu and Yang attacked Mengxian, a Yan army suddenly appeared behind them, and they were caught off guard and were crushed by the rear army.

The Yan army in the city saw that reinforcements came, and they also killed the Jin army from inside and outside.

Fortunately, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Xi was a capable person, and he stabilized his position to kill the enemy, but the plan to attack Qian County had to be postponed.

After inquiring about it later, I learned that the Yan army that suddenly appeared was withdrawn from the direction of Chen County.

At this time, everyone still didn't understand that the Yan army gave up Chen Jun not because they were afraid, but because they wanted to concentrate on fighting the Yang and Xu coalition forces.

If you really annihilate this Jin army, you will be able to take Xuzhou by chance, and it doesn't matter if you have Luoyang or not.

After understanding Yan Guo's plan, everyone was scared into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Xi Su tried his best to turn the tide, otherwise it would be difficult for Xuzhou to fall into the hands of Yan Guo at this time.

Even if it can be recaptured later, it is estimated that the people will also be moved.

Then the combined forces of Xu and Yang began to accuse the Yuzhou army of letting go of the enemy army and causing them to be attacked by surprise, and should be punished.

The Yuzhou army is not to be outdone, the enemy who was beaten away by us ran to you, how can you blame us? Being attacked is your incompetence.

Then the lawsuit between the two sides went to Sima Yu, and Sima Yu could only appease the two parties with the mud.

Both sides, busy with the lawsuit, stopped the military operation and put on a posture of not giving up.

Seeing the ins and outs of the matter, Huan Wen's face turned pale, and he sneered: "In order to find an excuse for the troops of Yu, Yang, and Xu to strike the troops, they actually let the Yan army attack their own rear army. ”

"It's really a good means, and it's also a ruthless heart, aren't you afraid of playing with fire and self-immolation?"

Huan Chong's expression also changed, and said, "No, how dare they take such a risk?" ”

Huan Wen said: "What don't you dare, I guess it must be the newly recruited new army that will be attacked, and Xi Su and the others have long been secretly waiting for it." ”

"This time, Xu and Yang's losses are less than one-tenth of what they reported."

Huan Chong's face also became ugly, and he said, "They ...... What a ......."

Huan Wen said coldly: "Regardless of them, I was not prepared to get their help this time, so I just didn't hold back." ”

"Tomorrow we will send troops to the north, first relieve the siege of Luoyang, and then recapture the land of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuchang...... Then he pointed straight at Yecheng and completely defeated the Yan Kingdom. ”

Huan Chong was a little hesitant, but he had never disobeyed his brother's will, and still conveyed this military order.

In the direction of Luoyang, Murong Ke looked at the bloodstains on the city's head and sighed: "Shen Jin is really a strange person, and he can't use it for me." ”

Murong Qian said ashamedly: "The last general is incompetent, please punish Dazai." ”

Murong Ke comforted: "Luoyang is a strong city in the world, and the Jin army has the will to die, and it is beyond the power of man to take it overnight, so the general should not be ashamed." ”

Murong Qian said: "General Xie is magnanimous. ”

Murong Ke said: "Huan Wen should be almost here, and we should also go." ”

Then an orderly retreat of the whole army was ordered.

When the defenders at the head of Luoyang saw the enemy withdrawing, they let out an earth-shattering cheer, and then sent a representative to meet Huan Wen.

After a few years, Huan Wen entered Luoyang City again and was warmly welcomed by the people of the city, but there was not much joy on his face.

The Yan Kingdom moved most of the people away, and all the grain was also taken away. He had to be unable to get supplies here, and he had to take out some military rations to help the people.

If he wanted to continue the Northern Expedition, he had to rest in Luoyang and wait for the rear army rations. Otherwise, the Yan army didn't have to fight, as long as he kept pulling and waiting for him to run out of food, he could win without a fight.

And if he stays in Luoyang for too long, the Yan State side will be ready to defend, and the difficulty of his Northern Expedition will increase many times.
