Liu Cong said that the meaning of this sentence is not on this first merit at all, but to express his feelings.

The last time I chose to accept Yuan Yan generously, Yuan Yan thought of himself as a fool.

If it weren't for Liu Tai's ability to command the troops, even in the dark of night, he still reorganized the army and saved himself from the chaos, Liu Cong really felt that he would die last time.

How could Liu Cong not remember such an encounter, and even regarded it as a heart-wrenching hatred.

Therefore, Liu Cong has an army of 50,000 this time and attacks Yiyang again, and he has only one request, that is, Yuanyan!

And among the people here, whether it is Liu Yao, Liu Jing, Hu Yanyi or Wang Mi, each represents the clan, the old department, relatives, and the Han people.

For them, even if the above position is not promoted, they have basically sat to the extreme that they can sit at this stage.

In such a situation, Liu Cong, the king of Chu with heavy troops, if he can make friends, it doesn't matter what the appreciation is, but it is definitely a great benefit to himself in the political ecosystem of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.

Therefore, basically everyone marked Yuan Yan's head as Liu Cong's political commitment, which is a big gain.

Of course, Wang Mi didn't have much thought at this time, but felt that Liu Cong's promise was still worth fighting for.

However, Liu Yao, Liu Jing, and Hu Yanyi are familiar with the political ecology of the Southern Xiongnu, although the Xiongnu Han State is called Han, but in essence, it is still more Xiongnu components.

There is nothing when it is necessary to call on the Han people, but when it comes to the change of regime, the genes that are rooted in the deep marrow of the Xiongnu will be instinctively stimulated.

Liu Yuan is already old, and no one dares to guarantee how long he can live, and although he has established Liu He as the crown prince, Liu Cong is also a prince with real power, and even Liu Cong is not impossible to take the position of emperor with a fight.

And if it is then, the favor in Liu Cong's mouth will be even more precious.

Soon, Liu Cong organized an attack on Yiyang, and at this time, even if Liu Cong's heart was full of hatred, he was not carried away by hatred, and made the practice of the four generals besieging the four city gates without giving Yiyang a way to live.

Instead, he still chose to surround the three and one, leaving the south gate without an army.

Of course, the next specific siege tasks were handed over to Liu Yao, Liu Jing, and Hu Yanyi, while the remaining ambush tasks at the South Gate were handed over to Wang Mi.

Because of this incident, Wang Mi came back from the military camp and said quite angrily, "Today's war is surrounded by three people and one is competing for generals, and the king of Chu actually doesn't need me to wait for the Han soldiers, but uses the Hun tribe, it's really angry with me!" ”

is the so-called four people fighting for three positions, so naturally whoever doesn't fight will be embarrassed, which makes Wang Mi angry.

After all, in Wang Mi's view, when Liu Cong was in crisis, he led the troops to the rescue, but now there are relatively better tasks that are not handed over to him, and the result is handed over to the other three, which really makes him feel cold.

At this moment, Wang Mi not only has Wang Zhang on the side of the bargaining chips, but also has the long history Zhang Song in charge of making suggestions.

When he heard Wang Mi's complaint, he smiled and said, "General, the King of Chu obviously knows the roots of the general, why don't you believe it!" ”

At this time, Wang Mi retracted a little when he heard Zhang Song's words, and then said: "The king of Chu asked me to send an elite army to ambush outside the city, what if the wall is delayed and the battle is not retreated?" What if someone else had his head cut off first? I'm not delaying my work in vain. 、

Rather than this, it is better to attack the city first and strive to win this feat. ”

Although no matter who knows, winning Yuanyan's head is definitely the first credit, but the problem is that this is equivalent to a gift package, as if buying a lottery ticket is also to donate benefits to the society, who really expects to win the grand prize.

Therefore, in Wang Mi's opinion, the opportunity cost of ambushing outside is too high, and it is better to honestly attack the city in exchange for meritorious deeds.

At this time, Zhang Song spoke, "The King of Chu has cooperated with you, and he knows your ability to command troops.

But the king of Chu did not cooperate with General Jianwei Huyan Sikong and others, so he naturally wanted to use Yiyang to attack the city to try their skills.

And your ability, King Chu must already know, so naturally there is no need to run in! ”

"I see, thank you Zhang Changshi for solving your doubts!" When Wang Mi heard Zhang Song's explanation, he more or less solved some doubts in his heart, but even so, he didn't really want to go around the original way and ambush!

And Liu Tai looked at Wang Mi hesitantly and took the initiative to say, "It's better to let Tai lead the headquarters to go for my uncle!" ”

When Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, he nodded and said: "This kind of thing is an ambush, you should have let a few but elite troops go, your troops are the elite of our army, and if you are willing to make such a trip, it will naturally be better, but it will only hurt you!" ”

When Liu Tai heard this, he shook his head at Wang Mi and said, "Maybe you can catch Yuan Yan with good luck!" ”

Wang Mi heard Liu Tai's words, but smiled, but also asked Liu Tai to make a detour to the south to ambush.

Liu Tai didn't have much nonsense, received enough naan cakes and a big jacket from Wang Zhang, and set off to the farther south of Yiyang City to start an ambush.

After all, it's already October, and the weather in the north is quite cold, even if it's not cold enough to snow.

If it weren't for this, Wang Mi wouldn't have scolded him, after all, this environment is really uncomfortable outside.

Of course, such news naturally fell into Liu Cong's hands quickly, and Liu Cong nodded to make such an arrangement for Wang Mi.

At least from Liu Tai's performance all along, letting Liu Tai ambush in the south can make Liu Cong feel a lot more at ease.

And Yiyang is not a big city after all, even if Yuanyan was actually prepared after the Xiongnu Han army retreated.

But even so, Yuan Yan also estimated that the Xiongnu would not come to attack until at least next year, and he didn't expect the Xiongnu to be so unreasonable, that is, the war would not stop at all.

As for the supply of the war, although the logistics will also supply a part, a large part is still the Han Chinese.

Of course, the Han people at the bottom naturally can't supply it, but some local Han families and wealthy families, if they obediently supply food, it is naturally easy to say, but if they don't supply food, 50,000 troops will come down, and no dock fort can resist!

Wubao did give the northern Han people a barrier against the Xiongnu, but Wubao did not fight against the regular army of the minority regime, because the state power really wants to destroy you, even if you have a city, you can't resist it, let alone Wubao.

The dock fort really resisted those unorderly routs and bandits, and even some of the dock forts were so strong that the regular army had a kind of idea that it was not cost-effective to uproot the dock forts, and it was better to let the Han people in the dock forts take the initiative to hand over the hostages and be safe with each other.

How to keep the regular army of ethnic minorities in trouble, but not to rise to the level of political problems, is the political position that Wubao, a rather special kind of wealthy manor economy, has been looking for in the period of the Wuhu Rebellion.

Just like this, the owners of the dock fort almost showed the posture of the grass on the wall to the fullest, while making a false and wrongful relationship with the minority regime, and on the other hand, colluding with the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime, which is basically the way to surrender to whichever side is stronger.

At this moment, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom defeated Wang Kuang in the Battle of Changping, and gained the initiative on the battlefield in the strategy with the Jin army, which still had a great impact on many local families.

Don't say it, when Liu Cong came over, they would take out food with a buckle and a rope to show that they supported Wang Shi, the main purpose was not to let Liu Cong's army target him because of the lack of food.

And Yuan Yan didn't count this layer in the end, or his vision was not long-term enough to see the impact of the Battle of Changping in the Jin and Han Dynasties.

Compared with Chun Yuding, how smart he is, he ran directly to Luoyang in the name of reporting the good news and did not come back.

At this moment, Yuan Yan conscientiously commanded the defense of the entire Yiyang, guessing in his heart where the army of the Xiongnu and Han would attack and where to attack, and he could also defend Yiyang to the greatest extent, and then delay until the arrival of reinforcements.

Yuan Yan thought that he had done a good job in psychological construction, but this time Liu Yao, Liu Jing, and Hu Yanyi all fought three sides.

Everything needs support, a good defense in advance, and the strength accumulated in the hands can be consumed in almost a day.

The most important thing is that in just one day, the psychological expectations established by the Yiyang soldiers due to the sneak attack on Liu Cong collapsed even more comprehensively, especially when the Huns rushed to the city to fight them head-on, and the city was almost breached.

Yuanyan's ambition was complacent, and the attack and defense were defeated in just one day.

At this moment, Yuan Yan clearly realized the gap between the county soldiers under his command and the Xiongnu Han army.

Last time, Chun Yuding and Cao Wu attacked Liu Cong, but they were pushed back by Liu Tai, and Yuan Yan thought that Chun Yuding and Cao Wu were really bad, so he didn't stop Chun Yuding from leaving, and let him take away a lot of soldiers.

But this time, he really fought with the army of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, and Yuan Yan found that the other party was so cruel that he looked like a beast.

And the county soldiers under his command are just sheep who want to guard the sheepfold, not even a dog!

Yuan Yan was extremely frightened in his heart, but he still pretended to be fearless in front of people to patrol the city defense.

Because it's okay to be afraid, but you can't let others see that you're afraid, let alone the people who are afraid!

And this kind of ability to forcibly calm himself down and show what he should perform may be Yuanyan's greatest ability.

At least under Yuan Yan's appeasement, the Yiyang soldiers who fought fiercely did pacify a lot.

But this kind of pacification only lasted for two days, and two days later, in the face of the absolute strength of the Xiongnu Han State, Yuan Yan, who was not very good at leading troops, inevitably saw Yiyang being breached.

Liu Yao held a spear in his hand and personally attacked the city as the first to attack the city, and all the soldiers under his command were inspired.

In one go, he directly captured the city gate, and then killed it directly in the direction where Yuan Yan was.

Yuan Yan sighed helplessly when he saw the city broken, and decisively chose to break through with the few remaining soldiers.

In the final analysis, Yuan Yan is not the kind of military general who fights and kills, let alone a pedantic loyal minister who commits suicide when he sees the city broken.

To be more precise, there is no one in the entire Sima Dynasty who is loyal to the Sima clan at all, and the vast majority of people are either for the sake of the nation, or for duty, or for morality, and they sing about their humanity in this troubled era.

But died purely for the sake of Sima...... That's definitely going to be in the history books.

Now, although the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms have gained momentum, they have not yet raised the contradictions between the Hu and Han countries to the main contradictions.

In such a situation, Yuan Yan couldn't hold Yiyang and chose to decisively break out of the encirclement, even Sima Yue couldn't say anything.

After all, the Jin Dynasty was not the Wei State, and the Jin Dynasty was really quite kind to the scholars.

Besides, if it is a felony to lose the land after trying to resist, then Wang Kuang chooses to surrender, then the Langya Wang clan should have been eliminated by the nine clans a long time ago.

Don't say it, look at how the Han Dynasty treated Li Ling, who surrendered to the Xiongnu, and then look at how the Sima clan treated Wang Kuang's Langya Wang.

You can almost know how comfortable the family was at the end of the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yuan Yan to commit suicide, so he decisively changed the clothes he had prepared in advance, and blended into the soldiers and decisively walked out of the south gate where no one was defending.

The trick of encircling three and one, Yuan Yan naturally saw through it.

If his subordinates have combat strength, Yuan Yan prefers to force his way out to one of the other three ways where the enemy has a large number of troops.

Yuan Yan judged that after the killing, it should be the Great Avenue of Heaven, but the strength of the county soldiers under his command did not allow it.

Yuan Yan was sure that the county soldiers under his command were fighting with these wolf-like Hun soldiers, and he was afraid that if he looked at each other, these soldiers would be completely dispersed, and he could only survive in the chaos.

Therefore, Yuan Yan chose to blend in with the fleeing refugees and routs, and even if there was really an ambush, they would not recognize themselves.

Yuan Yan thought so and did so, but this Liu Yao seems to be a dog, not only is his personal strength quite extraordinary, but even his intuition is terrifyingly strong.

Although he didn't know Yuan Yan's appearance, Liu Yao resolutely chased after the place where there were many people.

If Yuan Yan was not protected by the army, he would be completely unable to protect himself in such a chaotic army, so it was impossible for him to abandon his soldiers.

Several groups of soldiers went to stop Liu Yao, but they were easily defeated by Liu Yao's personal guards, at this moment Liu Yao looked at Yuan Yan who was running in front of him in a panic, to be honest, he didn't know, but Liu Yao didn't care.

Kill them all, and let the soldiers who know Yuan Yan come over to identify it.

Thinking of this, Liu Yao was about to hurry up to realize his plan, but countless arrows shot from both sides made the fleeing Yuanyan army feel as if they had fallen into a trap.

"Lay down your arms and don't kill, lay down your arms and don't kill!" Liu Tai let the soldiers shout like this, and at the same time let the soldiers rush out, but they were killing the rout in front of him.

At this time, Liu Yao only discovered that Liu Tai's helmets, leather armor, and even his body were full of branches of various plants, if they didn't look closely, they really didn't look very conspicuous.

These county soldiers were almost crushed in one blow, Liu Tai looked at Yuan Yan, who was surrounded by his own army, and then looked at Liu Yao and saluted, "General Liu pursued hard, the next thing is to hand it over to our army, this is the south of the city!" ”

"You!" When Liu Yao heard Liu Tai's words, the anger in his heart couldn't help but rise!
