Murong Hao whispered a few words again, and Huang Youdao agreed one by one, kowtowing and saying goodbye. Out of the Yanwang Mansion, Huang Youdao quickly whipped his horse and headed west.

At this time, it is the beginning of the plum moon, the mountains and rivers and the earth are all recovering, and the north of Qinhuai is full of spring, and the flowers are red and willow green.

Murong Jun's army left Longcheng and marched for several days, reaching the eastern suburbs of Jizhou. Zhang Chengfang, the general of Jizhou, had already gone out of the city for five miles to set up a banquet to greet him, and Murong Jun was overjoyed to see him, and regardless of the fatigue of the saddle horse, he took him with the car and led the army into the city together. Zhang Chengfang also knew that the army was going out at great speed, so he did not prepare for the night camp, so he had to wait for the prince and the army to eat and drink. Sure enough, after lunch, Murong Jun ordered the army to pull out, and when leaving, Murong Jun told Zhang Chengfang: "This expedition to Shihu in the west must be a vicious battle, Jizhou is my rear, and the stakes are huge, you must be careful when you stay in Jizhou." Zhang Chengfang has been with Murong Jun for a long time, and he is his confidant, knowing that Murong Jun's intention is to beware of Murong Ke, the fourth prince of Liaodong City, and Murong Chui, the fifth prince of Zhongshan City, to prevent these two from taking advantage of the opportunity of the prince's army to secretly make trouble, Zhang Chengfang replied respectfully: "The prince can rest assured, his subordinates will do their best to guard the rear for the prince." Murong Jun said with a smile: "I have a general sitting in Jizhou, and I have no worries." The two said something else, and Murong Jun got on his horse and led the army out of the city.

Half a month later, the front army has arrived in Yanmen County, the forward general Zhou Dingguo ordered the troops to divide into three routes, from the north, east and west to surround the city, intending to drive the enemy army to the south of Yunzhong City, the deputy general Zhao Dahai admonished: "This move is too risky, if the enemy army can not hold out, and I divide the troops into three ways, the lack of troops will inevitably affect the siege." Zhou Dingguo said with a smile: "This city is surrounded by me on three sides, I expect that he will flee south, and General Zhao doesn't have to worry about it." Zhao Dahai still felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "Even if the enemy army abandons the city, it may flee to Zhongshan City, if it is annihilated by the five princes, wouldn't it ruin the plan of the prince?" Zhou Dingguo's face sank, and said: "You Hugh take the prince to press me, this expedition, I am the main striker, you are the deputy striker, how to arrange the troops is the master of the general." Seeing him say this, Zhao Dahai had no choice but to say: "Since the general insists on refusing to listen to persuasion, then please allocate me 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will first go to ambush fifty miles south of the city and act with the camera." Zhou Dingguo said coldly: "I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, but after I capture Yanmen, the credit must be all mine." Zhao Dahai said goodbye and led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the south of the city. Zhou Dingguo then ordered the army to divide into three roads, and surrounded the city wall from three sides, leaving only the south gate.

The defender of Yanmen City is Zhang Jin'an, a general under Shi Hu, who is brave and good at fighting, and has many good strategies, which can be called both civil and military. He saw that the Yan army was fierce, and it was difficult to find fighters for a while, so he stuck to the city, avoided its edge, and waited to move. Suddenly, he heard the soldiers report that the city was surrounded by the Yan army on three sides, Zhang Jinan was startled at first, and after a while, his eyes rolled and he smiled: "So very good, the enemy general is so, God really helps me, see how I break it." After that, a small part of the defenders in the city continued to blare at the head of the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses broke through to the south gate in the middle of the night, and went straight to Zhongshan City, which was a hundred miles to the south.

On the second day, Zhou Dingguo was thinking about the military situation in the tent, and suddenly heard that the spies reported that the defenders of Yanmen had fled from the south gate, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I have already made a bamboo in my chest, and I expect that the enemy will flee south to Yunzhong City, as I said." The city in the clouds is only a few dozen miles away from Yanmen, and it is the closest city to Yanmen, and if the enemy does not go here, will he give up the near and seek the distance and go elsewhere?" Then he ordered a large army to attack the city.

At this time, the defenders of Yanmen were only a few hundred, so how could they be the opponents of the Yan army? After a fierce battle, the Yan army successfully attacked Yanmen. Zhou Dingguo was full of pride, that is, he taught people to write a good report, prepared the battle situation and results in detail, and sent it to the Chinese army camp as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhang Jinan led the defenders of Yanmen to rush to Zhongshan City at full speed. I never thought that I would encounter a team of men and horses ambushing on the middle of the road, it was the Yan army led by Zhao Dahai. The two armies met on a narrow road, and when the fierce battle was in full swing, Zhang Jin'an took the lead and rushed left and right, and the direct killing was inextricably linked, and the blood stained the armor, but the Yan army was waiting for work, and the morale was flourishing at the moment, under the command of the main general Zhao Dahai, everyone was desperate to kill the enemy, and the situation gradually became unfavorable to Zhang Jinan. After a while, the Yan army became more and more courageous, Zhang Jinan saw that it was not good, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to the west to kill, and then dozens of people followed him and fought and retreated, and finally killed the bloody road, fled west in a hurry, and the rest of the troops saw that the main general fled, and they had no intention of fighting, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The Yan army won a great victory, and Zhao Dahai sent a message to Murong Jun on the one hand, and on the other hand, he organized the troops into a team of three people and a team of five people, and escorted them back to Yanmen City.

Murong Jun was discussing the military situation in the camp of the Chinese army, and when he heard that there was good news from the front army, he was busy ordering someone to enter the account. When the man saw Murong Jun, he knelt down and reported: "Marshal, the former army has broken through Yanmen City, and General Zhou has sent a villain to report the victory." As he spoke, he offered the good news with both hands. Murong Jun said happily: "This time to attack Zhao, the first battle was won, which is really gratifying. After that, he took the good news and unfolded it, the joy gradually faded, and then his face became solemn. When the generals saw him like this, they didn't know what they meant, and suddenly saw Murong Jun slamming the good news on the table, and said, "Zhou Dingguo mistook me. The generals were momentarily puzzled. Murong Jun thought in his heart that Zhang Jin'an, the defender of Yanmen City, and the defender of Yunzhong City have never been on good terms, Zhang Jun will definitely not go there, and in addition to Yunzhong City around Yanmen, there is only Zhongshan City to go, with the ability of Zhang Jin'an, he will be like an ant in front of Murong Chui, in this way, wouldn't my fifth brother make another contribution? Thinking of this, Murong Jun stood up and ordered: " Although our army took the city of Yanmen, in order to annihilate the main force of the enemy, the defenders of Yanmen broke through from the south gate, which caused great difficulties for our next march to Taiyuan, so it must be intercepted and annihilated on the spot. When the generals heard the words, they asked for help, and suddenly heard someone outside the tent report that the good news came, everyone was puzzled, Murong Jun ordered him to enter the big tent, and the future people took the good news and took a look, but before they finished reading it, they couldn't help laughing, and at this moment the generals were even more ignorant. After reading the good news, Murong Jun said with a smile: "I thought that all the generals under my account were all outstanding people in the world, but I didn't expect that there were even better ones. General Zhao is brave and resourceful, and he can be of great use. "After that, he passed on the two good news to the general for reference. Then Murong Jun immediately wrote a letter and taught the people to send it back to Yanmen.

Zhou Dingguo ordered people to post a notice of peace in Yanmen City, and when he heard that Zhao Dahai had returned from a great victory, he couldn't help but sneer: "I have captured Yanmen, and the defenders have fled to Yunzhong City.
