Chapter 242: Eastward Expansion

The capital of Zhao was originally in Xiangguo.

In the second year of Zhao Jiaping, Zhang Bin once said that Shile: Handan Xiangguo, the old capital of Zhao, is in danger of relying on the mountains, and the situation is solid, so you can choose the second and the capital.

Shile then chose Xiangguo, because of the location of the place, the north depends on Youyan, the right side of the generation, and the south of Jiluo.

Then cut the world for the twenty-four counties of three states, build the city of Xiangguo, the city wall can lie on the cow, so it is called the city of the cow, there are four sub-cities outside the city east and west, north and south, after 18 years of construction completed.

At its peak, the population of Xiangguo was as high as 700,000.

It is the most important nest of the Qianren people, and its status is no less than that of Yecheng.

Now there are more than 100,000 Ran Wei troops gathered under the city of Xiangguo, and there is no end in sight.

However, the Wei army continued to attack for more than 20 days, but only broke through a sub-city, and the people in the city burned themselves to death, and the Xiangguo was as stable as Mount Tai.

Many of the people in the city were "countrymen" who were recovered from Yecheng, and they were desperate for Zhao, even if Ran Min re-established Da Danyu and incorporated the Hu people, he was unmoved and resolutely resisted.

Ran Min oversaw the army fighting to the death, digging tunnels and building earth mountains, but they could not be defeated.

Then he built houses outside Xiangguo City, strengthened the barracks, and turned over the ploughed land, thinking that it was long-term.

Under the walls of Xiangguo, there were piles of rotting corpses, and the city was also dyed dark red.

On the city wall, the banner of the word "Zhao" is wantonly waving in the cold wind.

Ran Min felt a burst of irritability in his heart, since he ascended the throne, he has been like a bamboo, he has conquered everything, he is invincible, and he sees that Zhao has his last breath left, but Xiangguo can't be attacked no matter what.

And he obviously felt that the morale of the Wei army was not as good as before.

"Your Majesty, Yanzhou is here." Fa Rao relied on the technique of weft and gradually got reused by Ran Min.

This expedition, leaving Wang Jian in Yecheng and taking him north, shows the importance he attaches to him.

"Read." Ran Min was not very interested.

"Chen Yueyan: Your Majesty is attacking Xiangguo in front, but the Murong clan went south and invaded the eastern counties of Jidong, but in fact, he secretly peeked into the situation of Xiangguo, if Your Majesty can't break Xiangguo, I am afraid that the Yan thief will stop in a blink ......of an eye."

Hearing this, Ran Min was even more irritable, "What does he want?" ”

"Send troops north to resist Murong Jun!" Fa Rao quickly glanced at the bamboo slip and said succinctly.

However, in his heart, he slandered Yanzhou's poor acid, and he couldn't even give up a piece of yellow silk.

"Oh?" Ran Min's irritable mood calmed down a bit.

The Black Cloud Army and the Yan Army were at war, and he couldn't ask for it.

"Li Dudu is a little loyal." For the sake of the face of the cart of money sent by Yanzhou, Fa Rao said a good word.

Yanzhou gifts are not happy, others give him ten cars, hundreds of boxes, only Yanzhou is the poorest, a car of money, not a piece of gold.

However, Farao is still quite trustworthy, and if he accepts other people's things, he will definitely get things done.

"Loyalty?" Ran Min sneered, "If he was really loyal, he wouldn't have met with my sword soldiers in Lu County last year!" This time I went north, but I took advantage of it. ”

Fa Rao hurriedly said: "Although it is a mistake, it is also beneficial to Your Majesty." ”

Xiangguo couldn't be attacked for a long time, Murong Jun watched in the east, Yao Yizhong did not move his troops in Hutou, and Shi Kun gathered the rout of the Cangting Battle in Handan, and won 40,000 people.

The situation was slightly bad for Ran Wei.

Ran Min didn't have the leisure to deal with the Black Cloud Army for the time being, "Edict, Feng Yue is the governor of the Eastern Metropolis, fake festival." ”

Li Yue stopped in Liyang for more than half a month, and the Black Cloud Army patrolling Hebei gathered one after another.

Chen Liu's granary also crossed the river and arrived, and Liyang became the former place of the Black Cloud Army in Hebei.

After the capture of Yangcheng, the soldiers took turns to rest for a month and a half, reunited with their families, and their fatigue was relieved.

It was not until after the autumn harvest that they began to patrol all over the country, and hunting could also relax their minds, otherwise the Hun Liu clan and the Xiongnu Zhao Shi clan would not be tired of it.

"Governor, Lord Wei's edict is coming!" Chang Wei was holding a yellow silk.

The military situation was urgent, Ran Min was in the army, everything was simple, he didn't do so many ceremonies, and sent a fast horse to send an edict and returned.

Li Yue spread out the edict, and when he saw the appointment, he was overjoyed.

It doesn't matter if you ask for the governor of the east, but the fake festival is very important.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the right to hold the festival is divided into four classes, and the false festival is frightening, if the emperor comes in person, the festival general can be killed. Envoys can cut officials below 2,000 stones. Holding the festival, in wartime can cut officials below 2,000 stones. On holidays, there is no right to dispose of people in peacetime, and generals who do not obey military orders can be beheaded in wartime.

To deter Jidong Haoqiang, a fake festival is enough.

"Where is Murong Jun?" Li Yue asked.

Zhang Shengye arched his hand and said: "The Yan army rode like the wind, Zhangwu and Hejian all surrendered, Murong Jun ordered Murong Ping to attack Bohai County, but was resisted by Youzhou Assassin Liu Zhun, Bohai Taishou Covenant, Jia Jian and others, and could not be attacked for a long time, in addition, Murong Ke attacked Zhongshan, Zhongshan guarded Hou Gong Jianbi Qingye, and Murong Ke could not attack it for a long time. ”

The Yan army rode south, it was difficult to break through the city, and the two counties of Zhangwu and Hejian should have surrendered directly, otherwise it would not have been so fast.

Zhongshan Taishou Hou Shrine is an unexpected surprise, this person is loyal to Ran Min, can resist Murong Ke's attack, and is also a figure.

There are many heroes and strong people in Bohai County, and Murong Jun is not so easy to eat.

Liu Zhun and Li Yue had already heard about it, and Ran Min Liguo, the two of them responded first.

However, Jia Jian and Li Yue did not have any images.

Zhang Shengye said: "Jia Jian was once the lieutenant governor of the Zhao Palace, and his arm strength is outstanding, and he can open a three-stone bow. Ran Wei established the country, Jia Jian saw that Ran Min was very killed, he was disheartened, abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, and supported thousands of families to defend the fort. ”

As long as he can resist the Murong clan, he is his ally.

"Command the army, set off immediately and rescue Bohai!" Li Yue did not hesitate.

If Bohai County is captured by Murong Jun, the east of Jizhou will be gone.

The soldiers had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for Li Yue's military order.

The army went east along the Yellow River and went straight to the Bohai Sea.

With Ran Min's edict, naturally no one dared to stop him along the way, and Heiyun Junqiu did not commit any crimes.

Entering Qinghe County, there was a Qiang cavalry following behind to peep.

"Hutou is two hundred miles away, and it must have been sent by Yao Yizhong." Chang Wei said.

A few months ago, Yao Xiang's tens of thousands of troops attacked Fangtou, but were defeated by Fu Hong, capturing more than 30,000 people.

If it weren't for Chang Wei mentioning it, Li Yue would almost have forgotten about this person.

"Don't pay attention to it, if he dares to come, he will be destroyed together!"

Yao Yizhong stayed in the lair, Li Yue couldn't help it, but if he sent troops, Li Yue didn't mind letting him taste the knife of the Black Cloud Army.

Yao Yizhong couldn't even defeat the Fu family, let alone fight with the Black Cloud Army.

Sure enough, the more than 1,000 Qiang cavalry just hung behind, and when they saw that the Black Cloud Army had been heading east, they had no intention of going north, so they retreated.

However, the Qiang cavalry retreated, and the Qinghe Cui clan posted it again, killing pigs and sheep to reward the Black Cloud Army that crossed the border.

Cui Jin was in a high position in Yanzhou, and the Cui family welcomed him back to the clan, and with Li Yue's acquiescence, many children of the Cui family also took advantage of the trend to enter Yanzhou for development.

When the Black Cloud Army crossed, they naturally did not miss the opportunity to show their courtesy.

The pigs and sheep offered were not enough, and the Black Cloud Army did not lack these hundreds of livestock, but the information sent by the Cui family made Li Yue's eyes shine.

The Cui family has taken root in Hebei for hundreds of years, and the head snake of the land snake, the deployment of the Yan army, the troops, the logistics supply routes, the mountains and rivers of the Bohai Sea, etc., are all clear.

Even Yao Yizhong's illness in bed was reported......

The hundred-year-old scholar clan is really extraordinary.
