Ran Wei has already lost Zhongshan County in the north, and if even Changshan is gone, Yecheng will become more and more isolated.

Murong Jun moved the capital to Jicheng, looking down on Jizhou, and the hearts of the people in Hebei were floating.

Just a few days ago, Zhao County Taishou Li Taiju surrendered to Murong Jun, and Xianbei disciple He Buku Wei Guanwei led 780,000 troops from the Shangdang to defect to Yan State.

Yan Guo is like the sun, and it eats Hebei one bite at a time.

Hebei counties either stood on their own or surrendered to the Murong clan, and the territory of Ran Wei became smaller and smaller.

The most powerful Yan State did not move, but did not start, while Ran Wei, who ran out of oil, has been mired in the quagmire of war, and has been fighting since the beginning of the country......

"Liu Xian was defeated twice, and in a few months, he was able to gather 70,000 troops again?" Ran Min became irritable.

A defeat of Xiangguo almost killed Ran Wei, and he has not yet caught his breath, and Liu Xian has been defeated one after another, with 30,000 killed in the first battle and 10,000 killed in the second battle.

The lost equipment, grain and grass, and elite did not come out of nowhere.

In the battle of Weishu and Lucheng that year, Zhuge Liang beheaded Sima Yi with 3,000 heads, and the Guanzhong was shaken and Luoyang was frightened.

But Liu Xian not only did not perish, but became more and more energetic and stalked Ran Min to the death.

"If the minister's expectations are not bad, it must be the support of the Murong clan in the back!" Liu Qun arched his hand.

Hou Gong surrendered to the Murong clan, and Zhongshan County fell into the hands of the Yan State, which means that the Xiang State has its back against the Murong clan.

"Liu Xian, this thief has repeatedly disturbed me, and now he has come out of the lair, and I should take his head!" Ran Min rolled up his sleeves and said murderously.

Liu Xian shrank in Xiangguo, and Ran Min really couldn't do anything about him, but his departure from the city this time was an opportunity for Ran Min.

"Liu seems to be supported by the Murong clan, Your Majesty must not be careless!" Wang Jian also persuaded Ran Min to come.

"In the field battle outside the city, who is my opponent in the world? If this battle can't solve Liu Xian and Xiangguo in one fell swoop, Murong Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops will go south, and the situation will be even more difficult! Liu Xian's 70,000 people are just herdsmen in the north, how can they fight against me? I have made up my mind, and those who dare to admonish will be killed! Ran Min glanced at everyone.

All voices of exhortation were gone.

Jiang Gan, the new general appointed by Ran Min, and others assisted the crown prince Ran Zhi to guard Yecheng, personally led 8,000 cavalry, resolutely went out of the city, and went straight to Changshan to meet Liu Xian's 70,000 army......

Outside the Yanzhou Mansion in Yecheng, more than 100 Black Cloud soldiers stood majestically with their swords.

Although they didn't wear armor, the killing aura of the elite of a hundred battles could be glimpsed from their eyes.

In the past, the people all admired it, and recently, it has been rumored that it was the grain and grass supported by Yanzhou that allowed Yecheng to tide over the difficulties, and the eyes of the people looked at the Black Cloud soldiers more friendly.

However, among the pedestrians who came and went, in addition to the common people, there were also some meticulous and secret agents, trying to get close to the mansion, but they were all frightened away by the vigilant soldiers.

Yecheng is the capital of Zhao and Ran Wei, and it is naturally indispensable to hide the meticulous works of the major forces.

They were extremely concerned about the relationship between Yanzhou and Yecheng, but they couldn't get within twenty steps of the mansion.

In the mansion, on the second floor of an attic, Chang Wei looked relaxed, and was not depressed because Ran Min refused to summon him, "In terms of military affairs alone, Your Majesty is not wrong to go on this expedition, if you can capture and kill Liu Xian in one fell swoop, then Xiangguo can be broken, and the dilemma of Yecheng will be solved." ”

Liu Qun sighed, "You don't know, since the founding of the country, Your Majesty has been bent on fighting and killing, not farming, and the country is empty. ”

As Shang Shuling, he naturally knows Ran Wei's current situation best.

The grain sent by Yanzhou can only save the immediate need, but cannot solve the long-term predicament.

However, when he said this, Liu Qun suddenly thought of the more than 100,000 maids in the palace, and when Shi Hu forcibly recruited them, it was not just for personal sexual pleasure.

And this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and the initiator is not Hu Ren, but Zhang Fang, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Chang Wei said: "In this battle, Your Majesty may have good news to pass back." ”

"Why?" Liu Qun was a little strange, and he didn't know why Chang Wei had so much confidence in Ran Min.

In fact, Chang Wei knew Ran Min earlier than Liu Qun.

"The Hu people of Xiangguo have long been exhausted, and the 70,000 army may not be able to take it out, Liu Xian has been defeated repeatedly, and the mediocre people, provoked by the Murong clan, have come out of the lair, this way to take death is also, Your Majesty's eight thousand cavalry are enough to sweep it, so you don't have to worry, you and I should promote the alliance between the north and the south, and protect the people of the northern country." Chang Wei changed the subject.

"Your Majesty insists on going your own way, how difficult is it for the alliance between the north and the south, if the Murong clan has been leading and not triggering, Your Majesty will sweep the Xiangguo, and you will lead troops to cross the river if you can't say it......"

After the Xiangguo was breached, Ran Min would never allow Li Yue to step on Hebei with one foot.

Yecheng is not far from Chenliu, at least closer than the distance to Jicheng.

For Ran Min, the annexation of Yanzhou has the strength to fight with the Murong clan.

Similarly, for Li Yue, swallowing Yecheng would have enough population to contend with the Murong clan.

Chang Wei frowned, this was the last thing he wanted to see, "If that's the case, what about Ling Jundang?" ”

Liu Qun walked to the attic window lattice, looked at the unusually clear sky in autumn, and his eyes became extremely deep, "When the Chinese society and the people of the world are the most important!" ”

This sentence is understood in reverse, who does not focus on the Chinese society and the common people in the world is the object of abandonment.

Fangtou.

Li Yue was also surprised when he heard that Liu Xian had raised troops so quickly.

This person is like a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, since the beginning of this year, he has launched three major wars in a row, and it is definitely unreasonable for no one to support him.

Wei Shan said: "Mr. Chang has no news back until now, could it be that Ran Min disagrees?" ”

"Don't worry, let's see how this battle goes." Li Yue was not worried at all.

Ran Min will figure it out.

Time is on your side, and the more it drags on, the more favorable the situation will be.

Looking at this matter on the other hand, Ran Wei had just had a dislike with Yanzhou, and Liu Xian jumped up, attracting Ran Min's hatred and directly alleviating the friction between the two sides.

Yanqing Erzhou needs time, and Li Yue is also trying his best to gain time.

If he can survive another year, even if Ran Min really turns his face, Li Yue will not be afraid.

"The southern states and counties are all surrendered to Jiangdong, Yin Haotun soldiers Shouchun, will carry out a large-scale northern expedition, Yanzhou...... I'm afraid that I will suffer from the pond fish. "Since Wei Shan received the miscellaneous general, he has also begun to pay attention to the general trend.

Li Yue laughed, "Yin Hao's Northern Expedition shouted from the year before last to this year, have you ever seen him send troops?" When he sends troops, the world will be a different situation, don't worry, wait for him to come. ”

The celebrities in Jiangdong have always been less successful than they have failed.

Anyway, Li Yue only remembered that from the Sixteen Kingdoms to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, only Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty succeeded in the Northern Expedition!

"What the governor said is very true, Li Nong's 20,000 troops scared off Chu Li's 30,000 elites, what can Yin Hao's Northern Expedition do?" Wei Shan laughed along.
