Chapter Seventy-Three: Your Majesty, the Minister Has Returned!
Yuan Shaojun's defeat became more and more obvious, and even Lu Bu began to become anxious.
Zhang Liao and others have begun to persuade Lu Bu to return to the state, to the extent that it is now, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and no one can blame it.
If you really can't take the eldest lady back to Bingzhou, can you still not listen to your father as a daughter?
Everyone looked at Jizhou, when will the army taken by Luo Yan return to Guandu?
That army will have a great influence on the course of the war and the fate of the people who follow.
In Jizhou, Luo Yan is deep in the quagmire of war.
Jizhou was too flat, and after Youzhou was broken through, the northern part of Jizhou soon followed.
Fortunately, the Zhao State has been founded, and the cohesion has been greatly improved, and the Zhao State Shi clan opposes the invasion of the Yan State and still stands on the side of the Zhao State.
After Luo Yan returned to Yecheng, he began to organize a rebellion against the invasion of Yan.
But the effect is really not good.
He is not an unborn military genius like Han Xin, and it is impossible to use a partial army to break through the northern countries, he can only do his best to block the footsteps of the Yan Kingdom in the south.
But in the plains, the cavalry is king.
With more and stronger cavalry, Yan State came and went between the cities of Zhao State, constantly attacking Zhao State's grain routes and population, and the most important thing was to destroy the ruling order.
In this case, many of the cities of Zhao Kingdom have become lonely spots, and it is inevitable that the power that Luo Yan can call on will decrease.
There are a lot of cavalry in Luo Yan's hands, but the real armored cavalry is not too many, and the tactics of dealing with encirclement and reinforcement are a little difficult to resist.
Youzhou is the sixteen states of Yanyun in later generations, and its importance can be imagined.
Zhao Guo, who lost Youzhou, is like a house with leaky wind everywhere.
As a tinker, Luo Yan is like using a brick to plug ten holes, no matter how fast he plugs the holes, there will always be air leaks.
It is quite a great degree to be able to achieve this degree now, and the command ability of the trial and matching has played a very important role in it.
The news of Guandu kept spreading to him, and the situation became more and more critical day by day.
After he returned to Yecheng and took away a large number of troops, in countless rushes, even after passing through Yecheng, he did not go back, and he had the spirit of Dayu controlling the water three times and not entering the house.
All his energy was focused on how to make Yan retreat, until Luo Yan finally had some ideas after the arrival of the princes' coalition army.
……
When Yan Lin heard that Luo Yan was going to talk to him, his expression could only be described as wonderful, but in the end, Yan Lin still agreed to Luo Yan's request to talk, which was regarded as giving Luo Shi a face.
After the two met, the atmosphere was not very bad.
Luo Yan first asked why Yan Lin wanted to attack Zhao State, and Yan Lin did not shy away from it, and directly told what Gongsun Chan said.
"Gongsun Chan ......"
Only then did Luo Yan know who did all this, but she didn't expect it to be Gongsun Zhan, and recalled Gongsun Zhan's brave battles over the past few days.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect Gongsun Zan to be very poor as a monarch, but he has the talent of a man of vertical and horizontal ranks."
For his own selfish desires, he was able to provoke a war between the two countries, so that Zhao and Yan would perish together.
The foreign ministers really have to admire Emperor Yan, you have such a courtier under your command. ”
Yan Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Why did Gongzi Yan say this?" ”
Luo Yan still had that emotional expression, and asked lightly: "Is His Majesty Emperor Yan sure that he will be able to capture the remaining land of Zhao State?"
Is His Majesty Emperor Yan willing to confront my Zhao State in Jizhou all the time?
How many years can the grain and grass in His Majesty Emperor Yan's country last? ”
Yan Lin's face was a little unsightly, but he still said: "This is not to worry about Gongzi Yan, when my Yan country is exhausted, Jizhou must have been starving all over the place, and the country will not be a country." ”
Luo Yan smiled when she heard this: "Yes, this is exactly what I said, this is exactly what I am worried about for you."
If it comes to that point, the demise of the Zhao State is probably doomed.
But what is Yan Guo up against?
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and the princes of the Han Dynasty.
I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't know yet, the alliance of the Han princes has come to the land of Henan, and when the Zhao State is destroyed, you will face a complete Han family.
The foreign minister is really worried about your Yan Kingdom, can you really hold on to these lands now?
What will these Han princes do in the face of another emperor?
That was unimaginable to the foreign ministers.
Does Gongsun Chan know this?
It is also unimaginable to foreign ministers. ”
Yan Lin was taken aback when he heard this, his eyes froze, and he felt that what Luo Yan said was right, but he still said: "Gongsun Bogui is right, Gongzi you are right, so what is wrong?"
Can't I, Dayan, neither attack nor retreat?
It's better to directly say that my Great Yan can't exist in this world, and the people of Yan Kingdom won't agree with this. ”
Luo Yan knew that it was absolutely impossible to get Yan Lin to spit out what he had in his hand with a few words.
People in this world are only willing to be hungry ghosts, and no one wants to be hungry ghosts.
Luo Yan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, during the Bang Zhou period, the Qi State used the Yan State as a buffer and barrier against Donghu, and Zhou Tianzi was even a great feudal prince, just to serve as a fence to defend the Zhou royal family.
If you don't want to have a direct conflict with the Han family, then the best way is to let Zhao Guo act as a buffer between you and the Han family.
Zhao Guoshou is in the south of Jizhou, just like the foreign ministers are now fighting for one city after another.
If the princes of the Han family wanted to attack, they would have to shed blood.
By the time I face you, I'm afraid I'm exhausted, won't you be able to win the battle then?
Destroying the Zhao State, what you have to face is endless resistance.
The prestige of the king of my Zhao Kingdom, is there still anyone in this world who does not know?
If you are willing to let the seeds of the Yuan clan stay in Yecheng, we can use the current territory to divide the territory, this is for you.
Wouldn't it be a better result? ”
Luo Yan reasoned with the facts and told Yan Lin that he had completely attacked the disadvantages of Zhao State.
Or that it is impossible for him to completely capture the state of Zhao, because Cao Cao and Liu Bei will enter the territory of the state of Zhao.
In this land, only those who have the support of the Yuan clan can seize Jizhou faster.
If you want the Yuan family not to quickly throw herself into the Han family, then the Yan Kingdom will stop here, and then move forward to harm others and harm yourself.
Yan Lin glanced at Luo Yan a few times and said, "Gongzi Yan, Zhao Guo has no future at all, are you willing to join my Yan Kingdom?"
I am willing to give you the position of Prime Minister.
You should know that when my Yan Kingdom occupies Jizhou and Qingzhou, you will have the luck of swallowing the world.
Now that I think about it, maybe God is the one who loves my Dayan, and I am the Son of Heaven who inherited the heavens? ”
Luo Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, your words shouldn't be for a Luo family, since ancient times, where is there a Luo family who serves the second master?" ”
Yan Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed slowly, "This is a widow, yes, where is the Luo family who serves the second master?"
Let's make an agreement according to what Gongziyan said. ”
After saying that, Yan Lin left directly, and after Luo Yan informed the trial of the news, the trial said urgently: "Childe, this Yan Lin has just betrayed our covenant, how can you trust him now?" ”
Luo Yan sighed when she heard this: "Yes, how could I believe him? How could I fall twice on the same mistake?
Yan Lin can be persuaded by Gongsun Zhan, can be persuaded by me, it is difficult to guarantee who will be persuaded next time.
But is there any other way than that?
If our army can no longer withdraw from Jizhou, the king will lose his life, you see the king's heirs, which one can fight against Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yan Lin?
It's okay to be a peaceful monarch.
In this kind of world of great controversy, if the king dies, there will be no hope for my Zhao Kingdom at all.
I led the army back to Guandu and re-established the defensive line along the river.
If it was just Cao and Liu, there might not be a way, but since there was a coalition of princes, they might be able to rebel against a few people and destroy the Han family together.
South.
Yecheng and Jizhou will be handed over to you, the requisitioned Jizhou Qingzhuang may not be enough in the field, but it is enough to defend the city, you must be careful Yan Lin, he is capricious and may break the contract again. ”
Hearing Luo Yan's words, the judge knew that Luo Yan had considered all aspects, and this was already the last resort, so he said: "The match must guard Jizhou, and the governor of the capital can rest assured, anyone who wants to seize Jizhou must step on the corpse of the trial." ”
As the army of Yan gradually retreated for hundreds of miles, a long no-man's land was separated between the two sides, and Luo Yan led the army back south.
As he passed through Yecheng, he seemed to see a very beautiful woman at the top of the city from a distance.
Even from such a distance, he still guessed, "That's Mi'er." ”
Zhen Mi looked at the army of Zhao State, a high Zhao flag, a high Luo flag, she knew that the husband she thought about day and night was in the army.
But Luo Yan has something big to do.
The housekeeper from the Luo clan who was also his personal captain said in a low voice: "Son, it's not too much to rest after Yecheng and meet his wife. ”
Luo Yan was silent, and after a long time said, "No, the soldiers have never returned home. ”
With that, he said to the soldiers in the ranks, "You don't have to follow me, go and protect Madame." ”
The soldiers didn't speak, but left the barracks, and after leaving the barracks, the outside changed from a strong man to a strong woman, who was a spirit soldier without flesh and blood.
The army bypassed Yecheng and continued to advance, while the envoy took the first step towards Guandu.
Luo Yan encouraged the soldiers who had been in battle for a long time and looked a little tired, and his own spirit tightened.
Since the beginning of the Great War, the infinite burden has been on him, almost no less than the burden on Yuan Shao.
He wanted to know, what is the situation of Guandu now?
I heard that Yan Liangwen died in battle.
Will the army still be able to withstand the attack?
O king, I have returned with a great army!
Are you okay?
