Liang Yan confronted each other, and the strategic position of the state became increasingly prominent.

Xiangguo, Changshan, Handan, Yecheng and Bingzhou are also a mountain away.

The Yan army couldn't take the Liang State, so its eyes naturally focused on the annexation of the state, and once the annexation was captured, the predicament of the Yan kingdom would be gone.

Even if the Liang State cannot be destroyed for a while, it can annex the Xiongnu in the Hetao to the west, and compete for the rich Hedong to the south, and at the same time form a geographical suppression of the Liang State.

The Liang State set up the capital in Yecheng, and the Yan State could send an army to besiege it for several years, cutting off the connection between Yecheng and the Central Plains.

Even if Yecheng can't be captured, the Liang Kingdom will be torn apart.

The breath of great war once again permeated the land of Hebei.

And Liang Guo's innovation has also taken the most critical step.

The foundation of the noble and powerful is the county system, and the abolition of the county is equivalent to the abolition of the "county hope" of the noble and powerful of the noble clan.

Since it is the withdrawal of counties and the division of states, it is necessary to check the land, and the nobles may not care about the "county hope", but they must be taboo to check the land.

Although Wang Meng, Cui Jin, and Chang Wei have cleaned up many illegal heroes in various places, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net, and the land has been clarified, which means that they have to bear more taxes.

Li Yue looked at Taishan's battle report, and Liu Gaozhi's performance was extremely outstanding, and he almost relied on him to establish the victory.

According to the military merit system, Liu Gaozhi has the merit of slashing the enemy and breaking the enemy, and he has been promoted to the fifth rank of knight, and he has been promoted to three levels in a row, which is the length of the song.

Sun Yuan's original intention was to rely on Mount Tai to defend himself, and he dragged on and disrupted the process of innovation, but he was quickly defeated by the Black Cloud Army.

All the Haoqiang in the Central Plains were also quiet.

On the bright side, no one dared to resist the implementation of the withdrawal of counties and states.

However, this is also a huge project, and it is difficult to complete it in a short period of time.

Chang Wei made overall planning in Shangshutai, Cui Jin was responsible for the inventory of Qidi, and Wang Meng was responsible for the core of the Central Plains.

Everything is in order, but things are never smooth sailing.

"Your Highness, Huan Wen led 30,000 elites north to Wancheng, Zhu Xu's 7,000 troops were the vanguard, stationed in Ye County, and the armies of Murong Ke, Murong Ping, and Mu Yugen gathered in Changshan one after another." Zhang Shengye brings the latest news.

Huan Wen is different from Yin Hao, if it weren't for his lack of interest in Guanzhong, Fu Shi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass this level.

Even if Huan Wen finally chose to withdraw from the army, he also dealt a heavy blow to Di Qin, and the crown prince Fu Chang and the prime minister Fu Xiong both died indirectly at his hands.

Cui Hong said: "Could it be that Huan Wen wants to go on the Northern Expedition again?" ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten! Luoyang is the former capital of the Jin Dynasty, the tombs of the Sima family are here, Huan Wen took Luoyang, the prestige was greatly inspired, and no one in Jiangdong could resist it. Li Yue didn't care too much.

When Yao Xiang was asked to take over this place, it was for today.

In today's situation, Liang and Jing Xiang are still allies.

"Is Yao Xiang willing to give up Luoyang?" Cui Hong asked the most critical question.

Yao Xiang is a hardcore ally.

Huan Wen's northern expedition to Luoyang, Liang Guo could not stay out of the matter.

Last year, Liang Yan battled, Yao Xiang fully supported.

Now that he is in trouble, Liang Guo is indifferent, which will chill the hearts of his allies.

"Envoy to Luoyang, let's see what Yao Xiang means first." Li Yue felt that the problem in the south should not be big, and Yao Xiang had never thought about running Luoyang, his mind had always been in Hedong and Guanzhong.

"Fu Jian is dead, Fu Sheng has succeeded to the throne, it is a good time to enter Guanzhong, why not support Yao Xiang's westward advance?" As long as Cui Hong does not involve the interests of the family, he is still relatively reliable.

Li Yue pondered for a while and said: "Although Fu Jian is dead, the essence of the Fu family is still there, but I am afraid that Yao Xiang is not an opponent." ”

Fu Jian left Fu Sheng with a very complete team.

There are quite a lot of capable ministers and fierce generals, Fu Fei, Fu Shuo, Fu Huangmei, Deng Qiang and others are famous, and under Yao Xiang, except for one Yao Chang, others are also middle-class.

originally won most of the cities in Hedong, but was pressed and beaten by Zhang Ping, Zhang Oyster and his son, and even Anyi was lost.

Yao Xiang couldn't even get Zhang Ping, let alone attack the Fu clan.

Cuihong touched his nose, "Let Yao Xiang try it......"

A few days later, Yao Xiang's reply arrived, he didn't want to abandon Luoyang so easily, and he was not ready to counterattack the attack, so he decided to break hands with Huan Wen first, after all, there are not many people in Huan Wen, only 30,000 or 40,000 people.

Yao Xiang has an army of sixty or seventy thousand, if he doesn't touch it, how can Yao Xiang be willing to give up Luoyang?

There is more or less contempt for Koto in the letter.

Two years ago, Yin Hao's Northern Expedition, a place of chicken feathers, was pressed by Yao Xiang and Zhang Yu to rub on the ground.

The grain and ordnance stored in Jiangdong were handed over, and Yao Xiang returned to his peak state in one go.

Now the Huanwen Northern Expedition, in his opinion, is a sheep into the mouth of a tiger.

Yao Xiang waited for work, refused to defend the strong city and Xiongguan, had more soldiers and enough food, how to see how big the chance of victory was.

"Yao Xiang is too light." Li Yue sighed.

Cui Hong smiled: "His Royal Highness doesn't seem to be optimistic about Yao Xiang? ”

"Yao Xiang uses soldiers, loses more and wins less, doesn't know how powerful Huan Wen is, and he must plant a heel."

"Yao Xiang's defeat will only rely more on His Highness, which is not a bad thing." Cui Hong has become more and more of a black strategist.

"Lone sent another letter to persuade him to retreat to Hanoi, Huan Wen would not stay in Luoyang for a long time, and it would not be too late to return to Luoyang after he withdrew from the army." For the sake of the past situation, Li Yue decided to pull him again.

Cui Hong didn't dwell on this issue, "The minister thinks that the big trouble is not in the south, but in the north, this battle Murong Ke is in person, the plan is not small, Your Highness must be careful." ”

In the last war, it was Murong Jun and Murong Chui who were defeated, not Murong Ke.

Now that Murong Ke has personally set out to fight, this big battle is no small no matter what.

"Could it be that he is trying to interrupt our process of innovation?" Li Yue thought for a while.

It doesn't seem like much.

Murong Ke stationed troops in Changshan, then he had to attack Julu or Yecheng.

Yecheng is as solid as a rock, from a military level, it is impossible to break through from the outside, and there are Liyang and Fangtou behind it, how many troops does Murong Ke have to fill in?

"No, Murong Ke's purpose this time is probably not us!" Li Yue's gaze shifted westward from the location of Changshan on the map, passed through Taihang Mountain, and landed on Bingzhou.

"Merge states?" Cui Hong was surprised, "Murong Ke, Murong Yugen, and Murong Ping are here, this time Zhang Ping is in trouble!" ”

After the capture of the annexed states, the Yan State gained a geographical advantage over the Liang State.

The rise of the Liang State severely curbed the expansion of the Yan State.

However, from the perspective of the overall environment, the Yan State is still on the offensive, and the Liang State is on the defensive because of innovation and internal purge.

Murong Ke picked a good time.

If Li Yueruo led his troops to compete with him and annexed the state, with more troops, the domestic innovation would inevitably be affected, and with fewer troops, he was not Murong Ke's opponent.

There is more than one Murong Ke in Yan Kingdom, but also Murong Chui, Yue Juan, Murong Jun and others, all of whom are battlefield generals.

"Maybe Zhang Ping...... Can you stop Murong Ke? Cui Hong's voice didn't have much confidence.

Since Murong Ke led the troops, he had only been defeated at the hands of Ran Min, but he was the final winner, and his opponents without exception suffered heavy losses.

Li Yue didn't forget that Bo Wu and Chen Duan both died at his hands......
