Volume 2 Funeral Post Chapter 62

However, half an hour, Zhao Dahai led the army back to the south gate of Yanmen City, and saw that Zhou Dingguo had occupied the city, Zhao Dahai was quite excited, and ordered his officers and soldiers to camp on the spot, and went into the city to see Zhou Dingguo.

Zhou Dingguo saw that he really defeated Zhang Jin'an, and he was jealous in his heart, and remembered that he expected the enemy's strategy to be superior to his own, which aroused his jealousy even more, but it was not good to show the color, so he had to reluctantly smile and say: "General Zhao has good luck, and if he makes this great achievement, the prince will definitely be rewarded." Zhao Dahai said with a smile: "I can't rely on the power of the world, and I don't dare to take credit." However, the general is brave and good at fighting, and conquers this city......" Before he finished speaking, Zhou Dingguo hurriedly said: "We have agreed in advance, you are responsible for ambushing the enemy army in half a way, and I am responsible for attacking the city." Saying that, he smiled, and the implication was that the capture of Yanmen City was his own credit. Seeing him say this, Zhao Dahai smiled and said, "Of course, it is General Lai's work to conquer this city. This battle was the first battle of Zhao, and the victory in the first battle greatly boosted the hearts of our army, and the general made great contributions. Zhou Dingguo couldn't help but flutter, I don't know why.

After Zhang Jin'an broke out, he led dozens of remnants of the defeated army to run all the way south to Taiyuan. He knew that he had lost his teacher and lost his land, and his sin was unforgivable, so he took off his clothes when he arrived at the city of Taiyuan, and entered the palace with thorns on his back to ask for his guilt. Zhao Wang Shihu has already received the battle report, at this moment to see him kneeling in His Royal Highness full of fear and trembling, because he wants the Yan army to attack, this moment is the time to employ people, he wants to avoid the death penalty, but the loss of the city is a major negligence after all, so the living crime is inescapable. Thinking of this, Shi Hu said angrily: "You have lost the city and land, how dare you come back to see me? He expected that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs would advise, so he made a gesture. Sure enough, everyone persuaded him to spare his life and let him make meritorious contributions, Shi Hu pondered for a moment and said sharply: "For everyone's sake today, I will spare your life for the time being." Zhang Jinan hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and Shi Hu said angrily: "Clear rewards and punishments are the first priority of the soldiers." If you have done something, you will be punished. Punish you with eighty military sticks, return to Cloud City to break the enemy on the same day, and if you make another mistake, you will be punished for both crimes. After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the left and right warriors immediately dragged Zhang Jin'an away in front of the court.

Shi Hu continued: "Murong Xiao'er doesn't know the height of the sky, and he has repeatedly offended me, I didn't want to start a war lightly, but he is greedy and warlike, how can I show weakness? All the generals in the palace shouted in unison: "I am willing to make meritorious service for the king to kill the enemy." Shi Hu said: "The Yanmen Gate has been lost, and the Yan army soldiers are pointing directly at the clouds, which is the gateway to Taiyuan, and there will be no more mistakes." After speaking, Shi Yun, the son of Yizi, led the army to gallop through Yunzhong City. Shi Yun said: "My father will sit in Taiyuan, and I will wait for my son to go and capture Murong Junsheng and present it to my father." Shi Hu said with a smile: "My son has the courage of ten thousand husbands, and he will be able to break the Yan army, and when you return triumphantly, you will be rewarded for your father." Shi Yun thanked him and left.

Murong Jun was stationed thirty miles east of Yanmen City at this time, and he was at odds with Zhou Dingguo and Zhao Dahai. On this day, Murong Jun discussed the next move with the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army, and was about to plan to capture Yunzhong City, when he heard that Shi Yun had come to the aid of Yunzhong, Murong Jun said: "The Yunzhong guard Wu Deben is an incompetent person, and he has always been at odds with Zhang Jin'an, and now Zhang Jin'an has fled, and Yunzhong has become a lonely city, I thought that it would be effortless to capture Yunzhong City." I didn't expect Shi Hu to send a tiger general, that Shi Yun is as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox, and Cheng is a fierce enemy, so we have to renegotiate the plan. When they heard this, they were silent. At this time, one person said: "According to my humble opinion, it is better to give up the capture of Yunzhong City, and the army will make a detour and go straight to Taiyuan, and it will be a great success." Murong Jun was taken aback, and when he looked up, this person was Yao Zhiyuan.

Yao Zhiyuan smiled and continued: "This is a direct strategy to attack the Yellow Dragon, that Shi Hu never expected that our army would be in danger and use this trick." Murong Jun pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have always been cautious with my troops and never take risks, this plan is too risky. If Taiyuan is not conquered for a long time, then our army will be trapped under the city, unable to advance or retreat, unable to advance or retreat, delay for a long time, and the grain and grass will not continue, what should we do?" Yao Zhiyuan said: "The gist of this plan is a fast word, the army gallops all the way to the south, does not entangle with the enemy troops along the way, and goes straight to Taiyuan under the starry night, so that the enemy will have no chance to breathe, Shi Hu is on the verge of a desperate situation, won't he be bound?" Taiyuan is the lair of the stone tiger, and the city is inevitably high and deep, and our army has rushed thousands of miles to attack Taiyuan, which is a tired division, and he waits for work at ease, so how can Taiyuan be able to Like? Murong Jun said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to guard Yanmen and wait for the times to change." The generals were puzzled, and said one after another: "What's more?" Murong Jun had already planned in his heart, and smiled without saying a word.

At this time, there was a lot of noise in the General's Mansion in Chang'an City, and everyone was arguing. Above the main hall sat a general with leopard eyes and beard, staring at the short and sturdy man under the hall with a serious expression, while the man looked around with his head held high, nodding and praising in the face of the crowd's discussions, sometimes shaking his head and sighing. After a while, the general waved his hand, and everyone instantly quieted down, and the general opened his mouth and smiled: "The prince of Yan sent Your Excellency to my Chang'an to lobby, but you can know that there is no one in Yan Country." When he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. The man raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "The general is wise and shrewd, don't you hear that Yan Zi made Chu? Moreover, I heard that the general had accompanied Zu Li on the Northern Expedition in the past, and General Zu's prestige was only six feet long, but he was still a famous general of a generation. Zu Ti is like this, the general respects him like a father, and the same is true below, why does the general see it?" Before he finished speaking, everyone reprimanded him one after another, and one of them said loudly: "General Zu is the pillar of the world, a person like a god, we all respect him like a god, how can Your Excellency call him by his name and compare himself in vain?" The man smiled and said: "General Zu's name moves the world, and he really has no disrespect in the world, and he does not dare to compare with his face, and the appropriate talent is just to make sense." The general said, "Your Excellency is skillful and eloquent, and you are worthy of the duty of a messenger." And he ordered a seat for him. This person is Nanxiangzi, the envoy of the Yan army, and the general is Wang Shanxin.

Wang Shanxin continued: "Murong Shizi's soldiers are full of food, and it is just a matter of raising his hand to fight Zhao, so why do we need to send troops to participate in the war?" Nanxiangzi said: "The wise see the danger invisible, and the wise see the disaster before it sprouts." Zhao State has repeatedly invaded you and me, its meaning is clear, Chang'an and Yan are each other's lips and teeth, the so-called household is broken, the hall is in danger, and the lips are dead, my lord Murong Jun rose up to fight back, and the sky should be responsive, and the general should send troops at the same time to protect people to protect themselves. Shi Hu is tyrannical and unreasonable, people and gods are angry, and the righteous people in the world can ask for it, and General Wanwang should not hesitate anymore. Wang Shanxin also understood the reason, and remembered that he had a brotherly alliance with Yan State, so he had decided to send troops to attack Zhao.
