Chapter 347: Truce
The Yan Kingdom has not yet reached the point of destruction, and it is only Murong Jun who has been defeated, and Murong Chui and Murong Ke have retained considerable strength.
And this battle also exposed many internal problems, and the powerful and powerful eyebrows with the Murong family.
In the end, the foundation is still not strong.
If it weren't for Li Yue's whimsical raid on Shuzhou, if he wanted to end this battle, I am afraid it would not be so easy.
Blocking the army of the Murong clan has proved the strength of the Liang State.
And after this battle, within a few years, the Yan army did not have the strength to go south.
Liang Guo will also usher in a golden opportunity period for development.
Li Yue was not polite to Murong Jun, he set up camp with great fanfare, slowly moved south, and Shuzhou rushed out of a cavalry, but he only dared to hang far behind.
The 5,000 cavalry of Yuewan from the west rushed to the scene, and they also did not dare to attack.
Just escorted the Black Cloud Army all the way south.
Walked to Wuyuan and met a scout team head-on, "Your Highness, Murong Ke led 20,000 horsemen straight to Lukou!" ”
Murong Ke's raid on Lukou at this time really made Li Yue unexpected.
When Lukou was in the middle of being weak, Murong Ke did have a chance, and once he captured Lukou, he would block himself to the north of the Lutuo River.
Of course, these are all theoretical, and what kind of battle will be fought depends on the performance of both sides.
Lukou's deer Bo is not an ordinary person.
"Murong Ke is really a thief." Cui Hong said with a smile.
"This man is indomitable!" Li Yue thought of Bo Wu, who died at his hands and was seriously injured, and his heart was gloomy.
It was Chen Duan and Bo Wu who desperately dragged Murong Ke that gave Li Yue the opportunity to defeat Murong Jun.
However, this is a war, and in the face of the Yan army at its peak, it is impossible for his side to lose nothing at all.
If this road continues, more people will fall.
"Order, posthumously seal Chen Duandong Guanghou, Pingshang Shushi, and then give him a nickname, Honglu Division will spread his merits, and add one of his sons to Heiyunlang, and stay in the palace city."
That's all he can do, and I don't know how Bo Wu is doing now.
The Black Cloud Army returned to Lukou, and Murong Ke also stopped marching towards Lukou and led the cavalry to catch up.
The iron rider roamed the mountains and fields, dragging a long line on the distant horizon.
A posture that is ready to attack at any time.
After several battles with the Yan army, Li Yue had a lot of experience, the cavalry was not invincible, and the well-trained elite infantry was not a cavalry at all.
Li Ling 5,000 Jing Chu foot soldiers, killed 80,000 Huns on their backs.
In history, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty formed a glaive array with thousands of foot soldiers and beat tens of thousands of iron horsemen in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
And cavalry has too many restrictions, terrain, climate, logistics, and so on.
In terms of cost, raising one cavalryman is equivalent to raising four or five foot soldiers......
Of course, cavalry, as a mobile force, also has certain advantages, such as running thousands of miles and fighting in a roundabout way.
But who says that foot soldiers can't ride horses?
The Han counterattacked the Xiongnu, many of whom were foot soldiers on horseback.
Moreover, compared with the steppe peoples, the cavalry itself is a short attack and a long one.
There is a world of difference in the amount of energy invested by the two sides.
It is not that there is no development of cavalry at all, but that we must not invest too much energy, and at this stage there is no excellent horse-producing land and good breed horses, and the cost of developing cavalry is too great.
The war horses grown in the Central Plains are difficult to compare with the Hetao and Mobei horses.
And improving the war horse is also a long process.
With this energy, it is better to create more elite foot soldiers and rely on the heritage of the Central Plains to push it over.
Nakamoto is known as a foot pawn.
While pondering, the infantry army was already in formation, with spears like a forest, and the cavalry was cruising on the left and right flanks, pushing towards the southeast.
In the face of the dignified formation, the Yan army jumped and left, not daring to engage in battle.
Li Yue continued to the west, but Murong Ke and Yuewan's cavalry followed, like flies.
Li Yue simply ignored them, and slowly went west, to Raoyang, and Murong Ke caught up.
But not 20,000 cavalry, but 1,000 cavalry, two horses for each man.
Far away, they shouted in unison: "Please tell King Liang." ”
After chasing so far, it turns out that you just want to talk?
Li Yue suddenly had a sense of absurdity, which made the guards shout back, "No time." ”
It's all red-eyed, what else to say? It's just you living or dying.
But Murong Ke was not gone, and directly sent several horsemen to chase closer, "The general of the auxiliary country has something important to discuss with King Liang." ”
"If you want to fight, then come to fight, why bother? Get out of here. ”
"Doesn't His Highness care about the captives?" The messenger was in a hurry.
Murong Ke killed Chen Duan, and there were also many prisoners in his hands, and Dong Yan was still in their hands.
These soldiers who shed blood and sweat for the country can no longer let them shed tears.
"See you." Li Yue sighed and led a thousand guards to meet him.
The scouts were carefully guarded on all sides.
Murong Ke was dressed in silver armor, and his white cloak fluttered behind him, "King Liang is like a god with his soldiers, and he is deeply admired." ”
Seventy or eighty steps apart, Li Yue could barely see his handsome face, all the men of the Murong family were like this, not to mention women, "If you have something to say, you and I are in the military." ”
Murong Ke laughed loudly, "King Liang is quick to talk, after this battle, within a few years, it will be difficult to have a big war, why don't you stop the army and make peace and exchange prisoners?" ”
How much strength you have, how much respect you can get from others.
This also shows from the side that the continuous attack of the Yan State is also in a weak stage.
Li Yue stared at Murong Ke's overly handsome face, "How to exchange?" ”
Murong Ke said: "From now on, the two countries have taken Lutuoshui as the boundary, our army has released 4,000 captives and General Dong Yan, and King Liang has released General Yangqi, how about 4,000 captives?" ”
"Your Excellency is really a child."
It is impossible for Yang Qi to surrender himself, and the entire Yang clan is in the Yan Kingdom, assisting the three generations of the Murong clan.
It doesn't make much sense to kill him, there is no shortage of scholars in Yan Country.
If they killed Yang Yan themselves, they would definitely kill Dong Yan.
Anyway, Dong Yan is also his supporter, and his death is also a big loss.
Internal problems can be solved internally, and if Dong Yan dies in the hands of Yan Jun, he will be sorry for those soldiers who fought for the country.
"His Royal Highness King Liang is not also exhausted." Murong Ke laughed.
"The captives can be exchanged, the two countries strike the army and make peace, then there is no need, you and I will not die, there is no need to make these false things, in the next big war, this king will capture you, and I hope that Your Excellency will serve my Daliang at that time."
One Wang Meng, plus one Murong Ke, try to ask who else in the world can be opposed.
But this is just a fantasy after all, and a character like Murong Ke will never surrender on his knees.
"At most two years, 100,000 iron horsemen will be introduced to break through Jizhou, and then a place will be prepared for King Liang in Jicheng." Murong Ke made no secret of his murderous intentions.
"Okay, this king is waiting for you in Jizhou!" Li Yue is very ambitious, and it is a great blessing to be able to compete with such a person.
I am afraid that two years later, the national strength of Yan State will be thrown away by Liang Guoyuan.
Throwing down the cruel words, Murong Ke turned around and left.
Li Yue also returned to the army.
Sure enough, the Yan army stopped following and retreated, and the battle came to an end.
Block the Murong clan's blow to the country, take Lukou, basically complete all the strategic ideas, the east gate of Jizhou is closed, and there is no need to worry about the Yan army driving straight in.
And after this battle, Liang Guo has undoubtedly become the new overlord of the world!
