Chapter 422: Entanglement
After these battles, the most seriously injured was Tuoba Shi Yijian.
Not only did he lose his starting place, Daijun, but even his younger brother Tiefu turned to Fu Jian, which can be described as a great loss of vitality.
But after seeing that Di Qin defeated the Yan army "easily", he was itchy and gathered 20,000 cavalry, ready to try.
Fortunately, Tuoba Shi Yijian still had self-knowledge, and sent envoys to Yecheng, first, to ask for advice, and secondly, to ask for troops to be sent together.
Lu Polou was able to defeat Pingxi because Zhang Hao contained Murong Chui's main force in Bingzhou, otherwise he would not be able to win so easily.
"Daijun is the land of the Tuoba family's Longxing, now it is a swallow thief, the king of Dai is difficult to sleep and eat, the soldiers of the Murong clan are tired, and the grain and grass in the country are not enough, it is a good time to send troops, I don't know what King Liang wants?" The messenger's eyes twinkled.
Even they saw the predicament of Yan Guo.
Two or three years ago, Murong Jun's army was strong and strong, with sufficient grain and grass, and an army of 200,000 people went south at every turn.
And in the few major battles this year, whether it was a raid on Daijun or a support for the Tiefu Ministry, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people......
It is completely inconsistent with the style of the previous wealth.
Of course, it may also be that Yan Guo is accumulating strength and preparing for next year's decisive battle.
In this era, grain and grass are not a big problem at all, as long as you put down the bottom line, there are still a lot of things you can eat.
In that year, Shi Le moved from Xiangyang to Hebei, ate himself all the way, entered Hebei, and captured Yecheng.
In history, after Yan Junsheng captured Ran Min, he immediately besieged Yecheng, and the Wei army had no food and grass, and the more than 100,000 palace maids left by Shi Hu at the beginning became all in the belly......
The Yan army had many war horses, and successively captured hundreds of thousands of livestock in Ele and Daijun, and the grain should still be maintained.
In the first year of Yongxing of Ran Wei (350), that is, the year when Ran Min became the emperor and led 100,000 elites to attack Xiangguo, Murong Chui attacked Youzhou, and Wang Wu of Youzhou of Zhao and Deng Heng, the general of Zhengdong, were defeated and retreated to Lukou, causing Shihu to accumulate tens of millions of stone grain and grass into the hands of Yan State.
This grain was enough for the Murong clan to squander for a few years.
"The time has not come, no decisive battle, Dai Liang is thousands of miles apart, the beginning and the end can not echo, I hope that Your Excellency will return to the king, the current situation, it is advisable to fight strongly, train the elite, he will fight together, and the king can take revenge!" Li Yue politely refused.
The fact that the Qin army can defeat the Yan army does not mean that Tuoba Shiyi Jian can defeat Murong Trai.
Besides, Lu Polou won, but also wasted the strength of the two tigers, his head was pinned to the crotch of his pants, and he led the elite formation to kill the general Ping Xi to win the battle.
Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the winner will be defeated.
Tuoba Shiyijian's army of 50,000 can't even win against other people's 20,000 horses, and now he has gathered 20,000 cavalry, and he wants to recover Daijun?
Obviously, he wanted Li Yuelai to be the wronged leader, and he hid behind his back......
"The hatred of the country and the family must be avenged, and the king of Liang is willing to help the outsiders of the Fu family, but he is unwilling to help the king, which will inevitably hurt the people of the country." The messenger did not give up yet.
"Your Excellency's words are serious, isn't it for the sake of acting for the king to help the Fu clan defeat the Tiefu Department and the Yan army?" Li Yue frowned, and the other party was a little nonsense.
Isn't it for Tuoba Shi Yijian to do so much?
The messenger was speechless and retreated.
Tuoba Shi Yijian is a typical rich second generation, the country of the country is his father Tuoba Yulu down, defeated the Helan Department, invaded the Hetao Tiefu Department, the west and Wusun's hometown, east to the west of the Great Xianbei Mountain, known as the cavalry millions, dominated in the Northern Desert.
At its peak, the former Zhao Liu Yao and the later Zhao Shile all asked him for peace.
In the Mobei training and martial arts, there is the intention of stepping on the Southern Xia, but unfortunately at the peak, by the Empress Dowager Qi (Queen Tuoba Lu) jealousy, assassination, this infighting, Xianbei leaders dozens of people were killed, Tuoba weakened.
The Helan Department took the opportunity to cause trouble, and Tuoba Shiyiqian and his brother Tuoba Huai fled to Houzhao ......
The Tuoba Department is nominally the co-owner of the grassland, but it is not worthy of the name.
The country that has not gone through blood and fire has never been so strong.
Li Yuexuan immediately thought of another problem, the Qin army was as tenacious as iron, the Liang country was as stable as Mount Tai, and the only thing that could be bullied around the Yan country was Dai Guo, and the persimmon was soft and pinched.
Tuoba Shiyijian has become the softest persimmon in the north, but it is still entangled, and if it is not good, it will stimulate the Murong Ke brothers.
The capital of Daiguo is located in the northwest of Yanmen and Daijun County, two or three hundred miles apart, almost one step away......
"It's really uncomfortable." Li Yue couldn't sit idly by and watch this young and willful father-in-law perish, so he sent an envoy to let Fu Jian take care of it, and it was best that the Qin army of Pusaka and Feng Yi could move to deter Murong Chui of the state.
There is only so much that can be done, Tuoba Shi Yijian has to touch the stone with an egg, and Li Yue can't help it.
Fortunately, Tuoba Shi Yijian was really scared by Murong Trai, and gathered 20,000 horsemen, and when he saw that the Black Cloud Army did not move, he was also a little calmer.
With such a toss, July passed in a blink of an eye.
The autumn harvest in August is coming.
On all sides, all the noisy forces quieted down and reaped the crops in the fields.
Decades of war and hunger have formed a tacit understanding among everyone.
Even the thieves in the Yan Kingdom are honest.
Generally speaking, natural disasters will be connected with man-made disasters, and harvests will be linked to harvests, and the two years have been good, with occasional minor disasters being quickly pacified.
Last year there was a small harvest, and this year it is a big harvest.
There was a heavy snowfall at the beginning of this year, and Li Yue had a hunch.
The reform of the Liang State has borne fruit in this autumn, the population, fields, mountains and forests, and rivers have all been released from the hands of the nobles......
Needless to say, the north and south of the river are the traditional grain-producing places and the foundation of China.
The tuntian in the Huaishui basin also ushered in a small outbreak, and it is estimated that 6 million stone rice can be harvested, and the rice yield is not as good as that of millet, but it tastes better than corn and has high nutrition.
White rice and white noodles are longer and meatier.
However, there are gains and losses, in this era rice has not been improved, the yield is not as good as millet, one of the major advantages of corn is that it can be used as intensive feeding for livestock and war horses.
It is mainly millet and wheat in the north and south of the river, and there are many kinds of beans and mulberry in the dry fields in the mountains and hills, while the climate in the north and south of the Huaihe River is warm and moist, the water network is dense, and the rice is the mainstay.
This bumper harvest made Li Yue more confident.
Although the land tax was reduced, the Liang State had a large area of tuntian, the so-called tuntian, in fact, it was state-owned land, which was cultivated collectively by slaves on a large scale, which was easy to manage, and the harvest was good.
According to the budget of the household department, 19 million stone of grain can be collected this year.
There are some household registration books left in the Yecheng treasury, more than 50 counties in the country during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Donghai County has an annual income of more than 500,000 stones, and the Han Dynasty has recovered about 30 million stones in a year.
After the continuous development of the Wei and Jin dynasties, this bumper harvest was close to the heyday of the Han Dynasty.
The main problem is that there is a lack of population, many areas are not developed, and how much land can be controlled by the population.
But population recovery is a long process that will not happen overnight.
