Like the Battle of Thorn City, hundreds of thousands of troops of Qian Zhao were defeated, and they have been in a state of collapse ever since.

The same is true of this battle, Yan Guo went for most of his life and was trampled under the feet of Liang Guo.

Although it still occupies Jicheng, it is surrounded by Liang on three sides, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured.

Li Yue set up five teams around Jicheng, Jia Jian Zhen guarded Shuzhou, Xu Cheng Town Fanyang, and Lu Bozao Town Le'an, which was also the place where Deng Huan's troops resisted the Yan army.

Qin Biao is in Yong, and Mijin is in Yongnu.

Whether Murong Ke retreated north to the grassland or went east to the Bohai Sea, he was blocked.

With a slight move, the five people arrived.

"The minister thought that Jicheng could be used as bait to lure Yan Guo's manpower and material resources to go west, and in less than two years, Liaodong's national strength could be consumed, and then the eastward march would get twice the result with half the effort."

When no one else was there, Wang Meng said what he thought in his heart.

Attacking Liaodong from the Central Plains was not a simple matter.

Youyan back to the desert in the north, into the Yishui, west to the military capital, east to Liao, long snake with plug, dangerous land multiplication.

Without large-scale cavalry, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the past.

Today's Liaodong is no longer a wild place in the Qin and Han dynasties, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Jin Dynasty, a large number of Hebei people avoided Liaodong, which promoted the development of the local area, and the Yan Kingdom, Goguryeo, and Buyeo were all strong for a while.

In the second year of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty (37 BC), the Buyeo people Zhumeng established the Goguryeo Kingdom in Xuansu County.

In the fifth year of Yongjia (311), Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and attacked Anping in eastern and western Liaoxi in autumn and August, cutting off the water and land passage from the peninsula to eastern Liaodong.

Two years later, in the winter and October, he invaded Lelang County and captured more than 2,000 men and women.

In the second year of Jianxing (314), in autumn and September, it invaded the county in the south.

If it weren't for the strong rise of the Murong clan, Goguryeo would basically annex the entire Liaodong.

"The Kanto region is stable, the money and food are sufficient, the armor and horses are complete, and there is no disturbance around, so you can enter the map!" Li Yue was much more cautious.

The lessons of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in history cannot be ignored.

The ambition of the Murong clan to enter the Central Plains was defeated, and they could only shift their focus back to Liaodong and fight Goguryeo dog-eat-dog.

The two sides divided the winners and losers, and Li Yue almost unified the northern country.

Prioritize.

Murong Chui was struggling to catch his breath in Taiyuan, his young father-in-law Tuoba Shiyi was in constant commotion in Monan, and Fu Jian attacked Liangzhou on two roads.

Li Yue is aggressive, and the others are not idle.

After the Murong clan was disabled, the biggest threat was Jiangdong.

After Huan Wen took charge of Jiangdong, he strongly implemented the Gengxu Tu Break, and the results were remarkable.

Today's Jiangdong is by no means the Jiangdong of Wang Xie Xunyin's time.

And Huan Wen has always been ambitious, he is definitely not satisfied with a county duke, he wants to follow Sima Yi's old path, only the Northern Expedition, establish meritorious service......

"First west, then south, then Liaodong!" Li Yue rode on a horse, overlooking the mountains and rivers of Hebei, and his chest was full of pride.

Wang Meng arched his hand and said, "The minister thinks it's inappropriate." ”

"Why?" Li Yue probably guessed what he meant, and when he talked about the general trend of the world several times, Wang Meng did not advocate attacking Jiangdong.

"Jiangdong has the Yangtze River moat, full of talents, is the orthodoxy of the world, the same lineage, although the Liang swept the north, but most of the people under their command are Jin people, the people pity the Jin, may not do their best, rush south, will only make Jiangdong up and down the same heart and hatred of the enemy, this Han Zhao, Zhao Zhao did not dare to invade the south." Wang Meng looked serious.

"Daliang has the favor of the mandate of heaven, is it not as orthodox as Jiangdong?" Li Yue frowned.

The Sima family has done so many things that lack morality and smoke, but now they can't move because of the word orthodoxy?

Li Yue was naturally unwilling.

Wang Meng said: "Orthodoxy is the name, if the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be successful." Since Yongjia, the Hu people have swept the northern country, rising and falling, the first generation is strong, the second generation is declining, the disaster is Xiao Wall, and the door is full of sudden extinction, all because of the lack of orthodoxy! ”

"I see!" Li Yue's brows furrowed.

The problem is not on the outside, but on the inside.

How many of the Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern and Southern Dynasties can successfully pass on the throne?

Liu Yuan, Shi Le, and Shi Hu were all tyrannical for a while, and as soon as the three of them died, the blood in the country flowed like a river.

Now the strength of Liang Guo is not as good as they were back then.

Another major problem is that the Liang State also absorbed a large number of Yidi such as Qiang, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, etc., and the internal problems were hidden and did not disappear.

In fact, the entire Northern and Southern Dynasties were solving this problem.

If you don't attack, don't attack, first stabilize your own foundation.

Liang Guo's biggest problem is still his weak family background.

"According to the view, can't the beam dominate the world?" Li Yue looked at the vast land, under the spring sun, everything flourished, and the rivers and mountains were so enchanting, attracting countless heroes to bend their waists.

From the day of the founding of the country, it was a hidden long-cherished wish to dominate the world.

Wang Meng laughed, "Jiangdong is orthodox, only limited to the Jin family, and nothing else!" ”

"Know." Li Yue also laughed.

Koto has actually fallen into a strange circle.

The monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, and the powerful ministers are numerous.

It is a matter of time before they are replaced, and without Huan Wen, there will be Liu Wen and Xiao Wen, either rotting until the country dies, or they will be replaced by newly rising forces.

And the newly rising power will dilute the legitimacy of Jiangdong.

There will be no shortage of opportunities for Liang Guo.

The premise is that Liang Guo himself lays a solid foundation and does not fall into the strange circle of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

"Report to His Royal Highness, the whole city of Jicheng was mourned, Murong Jun died of illness, entrusted to Murong Ke, Yang Hu, Murong Ping, Mu Yugen, and the son Murong Wei succeeded to the throne,!"

Just when the army was only more than 100 miles away from Yecheng, the scouts chased after them.

"Murong Jun is dead, and there will be turmoil in Yan's country! In less than two years, Lone will win Liaodong! Li Yue said with a smile.

Murong Ke is the pillar of the Yan Kingdom, but Murong Jun is the foundation of the Yan Kingdom.

The foundation is gone, and the pillars have nowhere to focus.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Murong Jun can maintain harmony with Murong Ke, but Murong Wei may not.

The Yan Kingdom has long been divided into two factions, the innovative forces of Murong Ke, Murong Chui, and Yuewan, the conservative forces of the Zuhun clan and Murong Ping, and the powerful forces such as Yangqi, Feng Yi, Huangfu Zhen, and Mu Yugen.

And Murong Jun's Tuogu is very interesting, Yang Ju, Murong Ping, Mu Yugen and Murong Ke go hand in hand, which means that the power is not held by Murong Ke alone.

It can be seen that Murong Jun wants to play the way of balance, but he is not proficient in learning.

However, with the current situation of Yan Kingdom, internal and external troubles, and the urgent need for power to monopolize figures such as Huo Guang and Zhuge Wuhou, Murong Ke is not used for such a seedling, which can also be seen Murong Jun's jealousy of Murong Ke.

This arrangement will only make Yan Guo more chaotic, and immediately kill Yan Guo.

"The defeat of the Yan Kingdom will start from this!" Wang Meng also agreed with Li Yue's view.

"Send a letter of state to Murong Ke, let him mourn and take care of his body." Li Yue decided to add another fire to Yan Guo, and the national letter was not given to Murong Wei, but to Murong Ke, to test the atmosphere of Yan Guo.

"Hahaha, Your Highness...... Wise. Wang Meng saw through Li Yue's intentions at a glance.

Now it seems that there are many benefits to not fighting Jicheng.

After breaking through Jicheng, Yan Guo will stick to Liaodong wholeheartedly, and it will be difficult to fight in the future.

But leaving Jicheng behind, Yan Guo had to devote his energy to defense.

Fight for the world, regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one place.
