"Your Highness is wise." Zhang Shengye arched his hand, "But when the scout came back, he happened to meet Suo Zhen, the envoy of Zhang Qiang." ”

"Emissary?" Li Yue didn't have to guess to know what Zhang Qiang's envoy was doing.

Only Liang Guo can deter Fu Jian.

Li Yue was a little moved, Fu Jian transferred the main forces of Puban and Tongguan in order to attack Liangzhou, and Deng Qiang and Fu Fei were also transferred.

Guanzhong is empty like never before.

If Wang Meng of Hedong raided Pusaka at this time, the chance was very great, and now it is the season when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the Yellow River is frozen, which is useless.

Breaking through Chang'an is equivalent to breaking Fu Jian's foundation and getting rid of a potential opponent in the future.

If you develop for a few more years, you can also destroy the Yan Kingdom.

Yuewan's assassination was actually a watershed in the Yan Kingdom, and the innovation failed, and it officially began to decline from the peak.

The longer the time drags on, the greater the contradiction in the Yan Kingdom.

Qin, Jin, and Yan, if you kill any of them, it will be a pattern of the Liang family dominating in the future.

"Tell me what to see." It is impossible for Li Yue not to be moved.

Are there any real allies in these years? It's just subservient to immediate interests.

Suo Zhen was born in Dunhuang Suoshi, is one of the top two celebrities in Liangzhou, once admonished Zhang Chonghua, and his reputation is far and wide.

"Meet King Liang, now Fu Jian's elite is exhausted, Guanzhong is empty, it is a God-given opportunity, Fu is insatiable, once he grows, he will be the fierce enemy of King Liang one day, if King Liang sends troops, Liangzhou is willing to belong and recognize Liang as the suzerain!" Suo Zhen was very anxious and didn't say a word of nonsense.

Although Fu Jian retired from the army, Zhang Qiang's situation was even more difficult.

The counties in the country did not listen to the orders and urgently needed support from outside forces.

After Zhang Zuo usurped the throne, he directly proclaimed himself emperor, and he had fallen out with Jiangdong, so he could only find Liang Guo.

The existence of Liangzhou has a certain value, which can contain Fu Jian.

However, after Li Yue weighed it, he still gave up this tempting idea, Zhang Qian was not that material, he was not Fu Jian's opponent at all, and there was no point in assisting him.

Second, Guanzhong is full of Qiang, Qin has a public opinion base, Wang Meng's 50,000 new army may be able to break through Chang'an, but it is difficult to completely pacify Guanzhong, and when the time comes, it will fall into a two-front battle, not only can not destroy them, but make enemies with them, neither Qin nor Yan.

To be a person should be down-to-earth, not half-hearted.

"What Your Excellency said is very true, but the danger of Liangzhou is not outside, but inside, Liang Yan is fighting, there is no time to look west, and the lonely whip is beyond reach, now Fu Jian has withdrawn from the army, your country should work hard to clean up people's hearts." Li Yue declined.

Liangzhou's strength is not bad, as evidenced by Fu Jian's inability to gnaw Guzang.

At this time, Liu Ying opened the tent and entered, glanced at Suo Zhen, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the Yan Army Fu Yan is going south." ”

Li Yue got up from the Hu bed, "The military affairs are busy, and I have no time to entertain Your Excellency. ”

"Yui." Liu Ying gave up.

"Say goodbye ......" Suo Zhen looked disappointed, but he didn't lose his manners, and followed Liu Ying down.

Li Yue immediately summoned the generals and asked, "How are the soldiers resting?" ”

It has been four or five days since the truce, and since Murong Ke is not coming, Li Yue will go to him.

If the mountains are not enough, I will go to the mountains.

It must be right to stare at Murong Ke in this battle, these days are all sunny, and the winter is high, neither cold nor hot.

"The morale is high, and you can fight!" Xu Cheng arched his hand.

"You lead an army of 10,000 as the vanguard, and the lonely relatives lead an army of 40,000 to take Baixiang!"

"Command!"

Xu Chengbu rode out first, and Li Yue prepared later.

If you can't win a small victory, then come a few more times and accumulate small victories into big victories.

As soon as the garrison was assembled, the scouts rushed to report, Xu Cheng set out, Murong Ke also moved, abandoned Baixiang, the big cart pulled the small car, divided into two parts, one retreated to the house county, and the other retreated to Gaoyi in the west.

The people and horses who retreated to the house county were obviously captured strong men, and there were as many as 50,000 of them.

It was Murong Ke's elite who retreated to Gaoyi.

Xu Cheng rode 10,000 steps, fearing an ambush, did not dare to pursue, and returned to Baixiang.

Li Yue's army rushed to Baixiang to meet Xu Cheng.

"This must be Murong Ke's plan to lure the enemy!" Xu Cheng arched his hand.

Indeed, the direction of Murong Ke's retreat is Zhongshan County, and the east of Zhongshan is Fanyang, so the transfer of grain and grass is easier, and the Yan army in Jicheng can support it at any time.

And when Li Yue went north, there was always the risk of being besieged by the Yan army from all sides, and he had to guard against Murong Ping, Murong Jun, and Fu Yan cutting off the rear grain route.

"Return to Ren County and continue to besiege Xiangguo!" Li Yue quickly adjusted his strategy.

Attack what it will save, and defend what it will attack.

Instead of chasing Murong Ke and running, it is better to let him relieve the siege of Xiangguo.

The weather is good these days, and the siege equipment can exert its power, and to break through Xiangguo is to pull out a nail on the top of Yecheng's head, and you can also attack Zhongshan and Changshan two counties here.

As soon as the army retreated to Ren County, more than 1,000 light horsemen of the Yan army arrived, rushing back and forth outside the camp.

Li Yue ignored them, and the next day, pushed the siege equipment under the city of Xiangguo.

Since the battle is steady, it is necessary to make all preparations, and before the battle begins, the shilling soldiers arrange the antlers, dig trenches, and pile up earthen fortresses to prevent the Yan cavalry from galloping.

Nearly 100,000 people worked together, and the fortifications were formed in less than half a day.

Xiangguo is not comparable to Bairen City, Shile spent eighteen years to build, extremely strong, Murong Jun learned the lessons of Taifengzi City, and made a lot of preparations in the city.

"Your Highness, when is it time to attack!" The injury on Zhang Hao's waist is just better, so he can't wait.

Li Yue glanced at the eager soldiers behind him, "Wait for Murong Ke." ”

Siege reinforcements, siege is fake, reinforcements are real.

Almost all the scouts went out to reconnoiter the movements of the Yan army in the north.

But Murong Ke remained motionless in Gaoyi, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and he just didn't go south.

Li Yue wanted to besiege the city and send reinforcements, but Murong Ke wanted to use Xiangguo to consume the strength of the Black Cloud Army, and when the Black Cloud Army was exhausted, one blow would be fatal!

After fighting so many times, they are already familiar with each other's styles.

What Murong Ke is thinking, Li Yue can predict through the battlefield situation, and similarly, what Li Yue is thinking, Murong Ke can roughly guess.

On the wall of Xiangguo, the Yan soldiers were shouting insults, and all kinds of filthy voices were unbearable.

The soldiers were furious and begged for battle.

Li Yue looked at the towering city wall, although the Yan army was insulting, but also prepared, the city head was waving flags, and the morale was strong, "What's the hurry, they will scold, you don't have a long mouth?" ”

Zhang Oyster took the lead, rushed to the place where he shot under the city with more than a thousand parts, and scolded at the head of the city.

The soldiers took off their pants while scolding, and they didn't treat the Yan army in the city as a human being at all.

But no matter how insulting they were, the defenders of the city could not live or die.

Li Yue doesn't care, he can't be angry and start a division, and he can't be embarrassed and cause a war, it's all a pastime, just waiting for news from the east and west.

Three days later, the scout finally brought back what Li Yue wanted, "Your Highness, the king of the capital led an army of 60,000 to the north. ”

Wang Meng wants to capture and merge the state, and there are three ways to go.

First, take Luliang Mountain from the west, but the mountain road is rugged and supplies are difficult, and the Yan army casually blocks a mountain pass, and Wang Meng will lose his ground.

Second, go up the Fenshui River, step by step, and attack one city and one place.

Third, he entered the party, got out of the pot pass, and fought Murong Chui head-on, and finished his work in one battle.
