Zhao Hanzhang led an army of 20,000 to Shangdang, even the two cities of Gaodu and Hyun, and finally converged with Mi Ce Yuanli in Changzi County, and then divided his troops to attack the cities of Shangdang County and Wei County, with a posture that was bound to take down Shangdang County and Wei County;

At the same time, Zu Ti also received a letter from Zhao Hanzhang, and he divided his troops from Jizhou into two parts, one to the west and one to the south, to encroach on the territory of Shile and the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.

When Shi Le received the letter, Zhao Hanzhang and Zu Ti had taken up half of his territory, but the Jin State did not please him, he occupied one-third of Yanzhou's territory, which was much larger than Shangdang County, but the geographical location was not worth mentioning.

The party is extremely important, of course Shi Le is not willing to discard it, and his advisers are also reluctant, and they have persuaded him to return to the party.

Zhang Bin had a different opinion, and said to Shi Le: "It is too late for the general to go back at this time, and if he goes back at this time, not only will it be difficult for Shangdang to recapture, but I am afraid that the cities of Puyang, Liqiu and Baima that have been attacked will also be lost." ”

Shi Le trusted Zhang Bin very much, and hurriedly said, "Please also ask Mr. to save me!" ”

Zhang Bin said: "It has come to this point, the general might as well make a mistake." ”

He said: "Occupy Yanzhou, capture Emperor Jin, kill Gou Xi, and then exchange the heads of Emperor Jin and Gou Xi for Shangdang." ”

Zhang Bin said: "Zhao Hanzhang's reputation is too good, she will be defeated here, Emperor Jin is in our hands, she doesn't dare to disobey." ”

Shile himself was a bandit and a scoundrel, and he never thought of people very well, and asked directly: "What if she doesn't obey?" ”

Zhang Bin paused for a moment and said: "If she is not threatened, then we will occupy Yanzhou, attack Yuzhou from Yanzhou, why not change places with her?" ”

Schle thought he was right, and although the topography and location of the Shangdang were more favorable to them, they ...... Yuzhou is also good, this is the Central Plains.

Shi Le immediately endured the heartache and summoned his henchmen: "Send a message to the Governor of Dadu and ask him how long he will lure the enemy, Zhao Hanzhang is about to cut off our back road." ”

Shi Le urged: "Let him counterattack immediately, and say that we will do our best to help him!" ”

"Yes!"

There are wars everywhere, the exchange of information is not smooth, a letter may take the lives of a dozen post soldiers to be delivered, some letters will disappear quietly, and with the post soldiers, no one knows where they and the letter disappeared except them.

The army can only recognize the post soldier as killed after a period of time without receiving feedback.

Since Zhao Hanzhang arrived in Shangdang, it has been very difficult for information exchanges, except for the passage from Yuzhou to here, which is quite safe, and there is no news of letters from other places.

However, from the letter from Yuzhou, it is known that the battle in Yanzhou and Sizhou is very fierce, Fu Tinghan and Zhao Erlang have attacked several county towns around Pingyang City, and there is a tendency to the north, and now Pingyang City is almost isolated.

And Beigong Chun single-handedly pulled Liu Yuan and Shi Lefen's troops to attack Luoyang, as long as they wanted to retreat and return to Pingyang City, Beigong Chun would bite them to the death.

This is also one of the reasons why Fu Tinghan and Zhao Erlang were able to recover other cities in Pingyang County so smoothly.

The second is that Fu Yi sent troops from Chang'an, surrounded the west gate of Pingyang City, and attacked with the Zhao army at the south gate, so that the army in Pingyang City had no time to take care of the city outside.

Yanzhou is also very smooth, I heard that Gou Xi won several battles in a row, and took back several cities occupied by Liu Cong, but Shi Le also ran to attack Yanzhou, leaving half of his men to storm Yuzhou.

Xun Xiu and Mi Ce's lieutenant generals are not very good at other abilities, but it is still possible to defend the city, especially with the back of Yuzhou, which is rich in resources, Fu Tinghan has given them a lot of trebuchets and bed crossbows in the past two years, and Shi Le's army has failed to take Mengxian and Ningling several times.

Zhao Hanzhang was bent on taking advantage of the fire to rob and take down the Shangdang, and divided his troops with Mi Ce and others to attack it, and he took down a city every once in a while, and he was very happy.

It was also for this reason that the letter sent from Yuzhou was delivered to Zhao Hanzhang in two places.

Zhao Hanzhang had just taken Tunliu County, and was standing on the city tower watching the soldiers martial law streets, and her subordinate officials went down to appease the people.

Today's Shangdang is dominated by Hu people, especially in Tunliu County, where the number of Hu people is more than that of Han people, so this city is more difficult to fight, and it took 12 days to beat the city.

At this time, many people have hatred for her in their eyes, Zhao Hanzhang doesn't mind, they are Xionghu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, when Shile was in power, they had a higher status, and they could avoid being sold and driven by Han soldiers as slaves, so it was normal for them to hate her.

However, she didn't want to please them.

Since Tunliu County was beaten down by her, it is necessary to follow her rules.

In troubled times, Zhao Hanzhang changed the Huairou policy in Sizhou, Yuzhou, and was very strict in the management of Ji County, Wei County and Shangdang County.

When a young man with a beard waited for the soldiers to approach, he suddenly pulled out a dagger and was about to stab him, but Yuan Li, who was standing on the side, found it in time and kicked the person over.

He was furious, didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and directly drew a knife and cut off the person's head, blood gushed out, Fan Ying, who was standing beside Zhao Hanzhang, was startled, turned his head slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Envoy, do you want to warn him?" ”

"No need," Zhao Hanzhang said coldly: "The other party used a knife against our soldiers, and they should be killed." ”

Fan Ying bowed her head and answered "yes", and when she saw an embarrassed messenger running to the city tower under the leadership of a personal guard, she stepped forward to catch it.

After asking two questions, she immediately led someone forward, "Envoy, it's a letter from Yuzhou." ”

Zhao Hanzhang retracted his gaze, swept over the messenger, took the letter he sent, and asked while opening it: "Why, Yuzhou's road to here is not easy to walk?" Why are you so embarrassed? ”

The messenger hadn't even breathed yet, and when he knelt down, he almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly said: "Envoy, something happened in Yanzhou, this is an eight-hundred-mile urgency." ”

When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he couldn't wait to tear the fire seal slowly, so he directly tore open the envelope, and it was urgent for eight hundred miles, that is, when Liu Cong attacked Yanzhou, it only took six hundred miles for the imperial court to ask for help from all over the country.

Zhao Hanzhang unfolded the letter, swept it at a glance and ten lines, and was speechless for a long time.

Fan Ying saw that her face turned pale, so she asked with some concern, "Envoy?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang clenched the letter in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Go and invite Mr. Ming to come to the middle account to discuss the matter, as well as Mi Ce, Yuan Li, Zeng Yue, and Li Tianhe, please come over." ”

"Yes." Fan Ying hurriedly went to order.

Zhao Hanzhang summoned a pro-soldier and said: "Help him go down and have a good rest, and let the military doctor show him." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Hanzhang took the letter into the main tent, and when she saw Ming Yu waiting there, she handed the letter over directly, "Your Majesty has been captured." ”

Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly took the letter and read it.
