In this era, the forces recognize people, and the so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, which is the truth.

And Wang Jun is the king of Youzhou, so Shi Le carried Wang Jun, not only quickly took down the Youzhou army in this city, but also knocked on the gates of many cities with him, and directly let Shi Jun take over.

Zu Ti and Zhao Hanzhang, who received the news, divided their troops into two routes, attacking Youzhou all the way from the east road, involving Wang Jun's two sons, so that they could not turn around and gather their troops;

All the way, they attacked from west to northeast, first recovering Jizhou, and then entering Youzhou.

Tuoba Xianbei sent out 50,000 soldiers and horses, and his cavalry was fierce and fierce, and he took down twelve cities in three days.

The three-way army attacked the deep part of Youzhou at the same time, and then surrounded the Xiongnu with the Zhao army of Beigong Chun, Zhao Ju and others.

If there is a map, it can be seen that the six thick red lines are gradually approaching Luxian County, where the Xiongnu were stationed at this time.

At this time, Lu County is not calm.

Liu Cong led the Xiongnu army to retreat to Lu County and resisted Zhao Ju at risk.

Of course, they not only occupied Lu County, but also occupied several county towns next to them, almost half of Yan Kingdom, and then one-third of Fan Yang Kingdom next door.

He didn't want to confront Wang Jun at this time, and for him, there was not much benefit except for one more enemy.

But he really couldn't help it, Zhao Hanzhang was pressing step by step, Beigong Chun and Zhao Ju's offensive was too fierce, and the new ancestor in Jizhou was also very powerful, and he suffered losses in several fights.

And that person is quite ruthless, the surprise attack may not be as good as Beigong Chun, but his strategy is above Beigong Chun, where he has passed, several places have been cleared by strong walls, and some places are too late, he can also quickly hide most of the people and food, so that they can't find it.

When they sent troops, they used to bring only a small amount of grain and grass, and then they requisitioned grain and grass on the spot, but this time they were struggling step by step, and they could not plunder enough grain at all.

Coupled with Liu Yuan's death, the imperial court was forced to leave and annex the state, and there was no food and grass support at all.

Liu Cong couldn't beat it, and he didn't have enough food and grass to defend it, so he could only retreat.

The persimmons picked up the soft pinch, and after thinking about it, at this time, they can provide them with food and grass, and the only one who can let them stay temporarily is Youzhou.

Of course, the people of Youzhou do not have much food, they are experiencing drought and locust plagues that are rare in decades, and I heard that the victims have eaten each other, and they cannot squeeze food and grass from them.

But Wang Jun has.

Legend has it that Wang Jun collected a large amount of grain and hid it separately in various granaries, so Liu Cong chose to fight Wang Jun directly, wanting to take over Youzhou from him.

Youzhou has a dangerous location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as he defeats Youzhou, he can stop the Zhao family army according to the danger.

As for Wang Jun to stop him, Liu Cong snorted coldly, he couldn't beat Zhao Hanzhang, and he was still very confident in beating Wang Jun.

But he didn't expect Liu Yi to come back suddenly.

He didn't come back alone, he also brought back Jin Chen, one of whom was named Wei Jue, and Liu Cong had heard of his name.

Liu Yi came back to persuade him to surrender.

He said to Liu Cong: "Fourth brother, we are now at the end of the road, you can't take the whole clan to die, as long as you surrender, Zhao Hanzhang will give us a piece of land to live in, just like when the ancestors migrated to the state." ”

Liu Cong was angry, "And then there are people staring at you when you go in and out, is it the same as being a slave all your life?" ”

Liu Yi said: "No, Zhao Hanzhang promised me, she treats me like Han people." ”

"How can you believe what the Han people say?"

Liu Yi asked: "She can't be trusted, can my brother guarantee that he can grab Youzhou?" ”

He said: "When you fought Zhao Hanzhang alone, you were defeated and retreated, and at this time, with Wang Jun behind, under the attack of the north and the south, how could you confidently grab Youzhou and keep the Han Kingdom?" ”

"You are young, you have never been on the battlefield, and you rarely grow the morale of others here and destroy your own prestige."

Liu Yi said: "Although I have never been to the battlefield, I will listen to my uncles discuss politics, which is not my family's words." ”

He persuaded: "Since Zhao Hanzhang was born, she has never broken her promise, why doesn't my brother give it a try?" ”

Liu Cong didn't want to listen, so he drove Liu Yi out, if he hadn't tried his best to stop it, in fact, Liu Cong would have wanted to cut Wei Jue off the sacrificial flag.

Liu Yi was also disheartened, knowing that it was useless to persuade Liu Cong again, he could only contact Liu Huanhuan and other ministers.

Wei Jue came forward instead of Zhao Hanzhang and made a promise on the side after Liu Yi's persuasion, and many ministers favored Liu Yi.

It's not that they look down on Liu Cong, it's that they don't have much confidence in the current situation.

Liu Yi is right about one thing, they can't beat Zhao Jiajun in singles, how can they be undefeated after provoking Wang Jun?

The reason why they were able to capture these dozen cities was not that they were too powerful, but because the Zhao family army did not attack at the beginning, and when they retreated into Youzhou, a large-scale peasant rebellion broke out in Youzhou, and the victims were scattered, Wang Jun was too busy to take care of himself, and the Zhao family army did not continue to approach for some reason, but surrounded the border of Youzhou, watching them connect more than a dozen cities.

Now that Wang Jun has assembled a large army to fight against them, as long as the Zhao family's army advances into Youzhou, they will be attacked by the north and south, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of extermination.

So now there is another way to go, and many people are thinking about it.

Listening to Liu Yi's meaning, the worst result is just to return to the state a few decades ago, when he just moved into the state.

But that's better than being exterminated directly, or driven out of the fortress all the way, right?

So everyone quietly planned to change the leader.

Liu Cong was not Liu Yuan's preferred heir in the first place, and he killed the monarch and ascended to the throne, which was not orthodox in the first place.

Counting, whether it is identity or favor, Liu He should be the emperor after Liu He.

So the ministers led by Liu Huanhuan got together and wanted to change the emperor.

It's just that they haven't discussed what to do.

Liu Cong seemed to sense the danger and acted more and more impatiently, he wanted to kill Wei Jue, but was persuaded by Liu Huanhuan and other ministers with the rule that "the two countries will not fight each other".

Liu Cong was about to drive Wei Jue and the others out, so Liu Huanhuan and the others worked hard to persuade Liu Cong to consider surrendering, and was almost killed by Liu Cong with a knife.

Since then, no one has mentioned this matter in front of Liu Cong, and Wei Jue has also left Lu County, but before leaving, he has already discussed the surrender with Liu Huanhuan and others.

Wei Jue left on the front foot, and the news that Wang Jun was captured on the back foot came, and Youzhou had fallen into the hands of Zhao Hanzhang.

When Liu Huanhuan and the others heard this, they originally wanted to delay it for a while, but they couldn't help it at this time, and they entered the palace and said to Liu Cong on the same day, "After thinking about it carefully, I feel that Your Majesty's concerns are correct, we have been at war with the Jin State for many years, and we have already become mortal enemies with that Zhao Hanzhang, and surrendering at this time is to tie our hands, so we can't surrender." ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he praised it, "That's exactly the reason." ”

"The King of Beihai is bewitching the public, and leaving him outside will inevitably affect the hearts of the people and the army, so it is better to temporarily detain him in the palace and release him after we have all captured the Yan Kingdom."

Liu Cong thought about it for a while and responded, so he asked people to invite Liu Yi into the palace, afraid that he would not come, so he found a reason, saying that it was for Empress Dowager Shan to celebrate her birthday in advance.
