The Han State planned to destroy the Murong Yan Kingdom in three months, and the plan adopted was to use the three roads as the main attack, and there were several ancillary supporting plans to use the inland to connect the water system at the mouth of the sea.
The Qiushui battlefield is only one of the three main attack routes, and it is only special that Liu Yan is personally in charge, which does not mean that the real main battlefield is here.
The battlefield of Yan has already started to fight two, the battlefield on the western front is currently maintaining a stalemate, and the battlefield on the eastern front is forced to retreat tactically after the defeat of many vassal states.
In general, judging from the situation of the two-front battlefield, the war between the Han State and the Murong Yan State was not a dominant trend, but on the contrary, there were some signs of poor advancement.
"It turns out that because of the king's seat, it attracted about 200,000 enemy troops."
Ji Chang looked like he took it for granted: "The most capable general of the Murong clan is also on the Eastern Front. ” The western front battlefield of Murong Yanguo was arranged around almost the entire Youbeiping County, and the front position of the Han army alone was placed close to 100,000, relying on the dangers of various mountains and rivers to set up defense lines, and the cities on the Han army's possible offensive route were also repeatedly reinforced.
The defense line on land can rely on manpower to accumulate, and the most troublesome thing for Murong Ke is the entire coastline, and naturally there are those navigable water systems.
Murong Ke would receive a lot of battle reports every day, all of which were where the Han army landed in which river system, where the Han army attacked, how many places were destroyed and how many results were achieved, and there were so many similar battle reports that they could be piled up together.
Let's just say that the coastline of the Bohai Sea is so long that there are thousands of miles of coastline, so that Murong Ke wants to defend and there are not enough troops, that is, it is a big problem whether the Han army will come or not, the garrison of a certain garrison will receive the news of the Han army landing somewhere, and the garrison of this place will retreat long before the Han army arrives, and the garrisons of those coastlines are tired of running for their lives or trivial matters, and when they step into too many traps and are ambushed many times, after the loss reaches a certain level, Murong Ke quickly withdraws cleanly.
Murong Ke has no choice but not to withdraw, he has a lot of troops in his hands, but there are too many places that need to be defended, most of the coastal areas that need to be transferred have been transferred, and only a few are left, and it is really time to withdraw if he is completely passive.
Of course, both sides can do setting traps and laying ambushes, but Murong Yanjun is the defensive side, and only by guessing correctly where the Han army will land can there be a basis for arrangement.
As the party with the initiative, the Han army did not have a fixed trajectory and did not go too deep, so of course it took advantage of the boss as the party with the initiative.
In addition to Qiu Shui, Murong Ke's biggest headache and most attention is Wet Shui, most of the troops at hand are arranged in the Qiu Shui defense line, and Wet Water is in the rear, which means that they are sandwiched between Qiu Shui and Wet Water from two directions.
"In view of this, Murong Ke must be worried all the time to cut off the back road."
Xu Zheng pointed to the location of Lingzhi City: "The enemy army has placed heavy troops here, and has been strengthening the city defense since the beginning of last year. ” From the beginning, Lingzhicheng was the military town of Murong Yanguo in the east, and it opened a special canal connecting the city on the east bank of the water, and the Han army tried to use the canal to attack, and the feedback was that a large number of bed crossbows were arranged on that side of the city wall.
"In addition to the bed crossbows, they also ingeniously constructed four sluice defenses, each with a sudden trench."
Xu Zheng really admired those whimsical ideas, and the trench he was talking about was similar to the sudden take-off of a waterfall: "Therefore, even if a boat rushes into it, it will cause the trench to overturn." ” Murong Yanguo has the technology to make bed crossbows, and the technical content is slightly worse than that of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not only the single-shot bed crossbow, but also the three-shot bed crossbow, most of which are used to arrange city defenses, and it seems that Murong Ke also brought some over, which were arranged in some hilltop cities on the east bank of Qiushui A group of people were deliberating, but someone was shouting outside the tent to see them.
The person who came reported to Liu Yan the situation on the front line, saying that Murong Yanjun had set fire again, this time burning a forest that had not been affected before.
Liu Yan guessed the key in an instant, squinted his eyes and said, "A fire caused us to retreat to the west bank and wasted thirteen days, Murong Ke has tasted the sweetness."
In the current years, most of the area has not been developed, it is to maintain a green style, you can see patches of woods everywhere, the Central Plains is like this, Youzhou will be slightly more serious, after all, since ancient times, Youzhou population is far less scarce than the Central Plains.
To put it mildly, Youbeiping County is really full of forests, especially the forests on both sides of the hill water are more widely distributed, resulting in the need to cut down a large area of forests if you want to establish a camp, and you basically have to touch the forest if you want to enter.
"The hussar general had sent a Qu into the forest before, and nearly two hundred men could not be withdrawn."
Liu Yan put down the battle report in his hand and did not show too much emotion: "The formation of a fire in that forest will hinder us for at least seven or eight days.
What new discoveries have been made by the scouts sent out to explore the way?"
Xun Xian recently undertook the task of sorting out intelligence, and immediately replied: "No." ” Having said that, the situation here is like that, there are dense forests everywhere, it is rare that there will be any formed roads, even if there is, Murong Yanjun has already arranged defenses, and with Murong Ke's tightly guarded posture, it is almost impossible to sneak attack by taking a detour.
"It is reported that Murong Xianbei only let Tuoba Shiyijian be stationed on the northern line, except for the remnants of Tuoba Xianbei, Murong Xianbei did not strengthen Tuoba Shiyijian's command."
Xu Zheng said that those just mean the same thing, whether it is Liu Yan or Lu Tai, the Han army in both directions has become a partial division to contain Murong Yan's army, and the one who can really make a contribution with one blow is on the battlefield on the northern front: "Your Majesty, the invasion of the Praetorian Guard can be regarded as smooth" Liu Yan's brows couldn't help frowning, and his frowning expression made the military tent fall into absolute silence.
The Praetorian Guards on the northern front were originally going to invade Zhang's Liangguo, and when they approached Guzang for about 300 miles, they turned around and drove eastward, entering the grassland abandoned by the Tuoba Dai army all the way to the east, and after an eight-day march, they arrived at the north bank of the Shalamulun River in Zuoleshui.
Before the arrival of the Praetorian Guards, Tuoba Shi Yijian had already found out in advance, and before that, he contacted Tuoba Xiu again, and begged his sister with extreme humility and trepidation, saying that Tuoba had already removed the country, and he had no intention of staying.
Since Tuoba Xiu and Liu Yan met, at the beginning, all kinds of resistance and contempt, waiting to become Liu Yan's woman, can be said to be a qualified woman, and even becoming one of the four concubines of the Han State is also living up to the title of Concubine De, usually not interfering in national affairs is only one of them, involving the Han State and the Tuoba Dynasty can also put on the position of being the concubine of the Han State, it can be said that there is nothing to find fault with as a wife, but as the daughter of the Tuoba family, it makes Tuoba Shi Yijian and other family members feel angry.
Tuoba Daiguo's provocation to the Han State and the actual entry into a state of war, it is one thing for the two countries to fight and who will die, and if you dare to challenge, you must be psychologically prepared to destroy the country, Tuoba Xiu is very clear about this.
She began to worry about it later, it was the fear and worry caused by Ran Min's wanton killing in Bingzhou and Shuozhou, and she was afraid that Tuoba Xianbei would have the same fate after the defeat.
The extermination of the country and the extermination of the race are two different things, before Tuoba Shi Yijian did not plead, Tuoba Xiu begged Liu Yan several times in secret not to implement the extermination policy of the Tuoba clan, Liu Yan actually would not treat Tuoba Xianbei like he did with the Qiang tribe, and the follow-up capture Tuoba Xianbei was not killed, Tuoba Xiu thought that his plea had a good result, on the one hand, he felt sorry for Liu Yan, and on the other hand, he was really relieved.
After Liu Yan agreed to the surrender of some Tuoba Xianbei, Tuoba Xiu was very self-disciplined and did not interfere anymore, and even Tuoba Shi Yijian pleaded again without replying, but Tuoba Shi Yijian obviously did not have hope for his unconscionable sister.
Tuoba Shi Yijian did it very simply this time, building a lot of bridges across the river in Zuoleshui in the early days, and built them in spite of Murong Xianbei's repeated inquiries, waiting for the Praetorian Guard to approach within a hundred miles, Tuoba Xianbei was an ally with Murong Xianbei one moment, and the next moment Tuoba Xianbei raised his sword at the previous ally.
Before contacting the Han army, Tuoba Shi Yijian made a black hand against Murong Xianbei, and then contacted the Han army.
It should be said that Tuoba Shi Yijian's goal in a certain aspect has been achieved, Liu Yan is happy to quickly open the defense line of Murong Yanguo's northern front, with Tuoba Shi Yijian as the pioneer, the battle on the northern front went surprisingly smoothly, and the Praetorian Guard did not attack Tuoba Xianbei.
"Ahh There is one counts as one, and I was basically stunned when I learned what the situation was on the northern front.
"What happened two days ago" Ji Chang wanted to ask Liu Yan why he didn't say it, but whether the king knew it or not was one thing, and it was another thing to say it or not, as a subordinate, he had to endure it as much as possible, no matter how reluctant he was.
He smiled bitterly and said to Liu Yan: "The king has given his ministers a great surprise."
Ji Chang was stunned after speaking, not only him, but some of the people who reacted were basically stunned.
The battlefield on the northern front should be seven or eight hundred miles away from the Qiushui camp, and no matter how fast the horse is, it will take three or four days to deliver the news, and it will take the necessary verification during the period, and they are confused about how their king knows what happened on the northern front.
For those who know and those who don't know, Liu Yan has so many secrets that he can never be explored, and after being stunned, he buried all his doubts in his heart, and he desperately wanted to understand what Liu Yan had in mind.
"The widows have accepted the surrender of some of the Tuoba Xianbei, and they will be scattered everywhere as laborers, and when the deadline comes, they will become Han people living and working in peace, and I believe that they will eventually become real Han people."
Liu Yan's meaning was obvious, no matter what it was, he really didn't want to kill Tuoba Xianbei, and later added: "Tuoba Shiyijian will unconditionally accept the widow's arrangement after destroying Yan." ” There was only Liu Yan's voice in the military tent, and those who didn't understand were still stunned, and those who were active started the deduction.

Most people thought that Liu Yan was looking at Tuoba Xiu's sake, and they would also think about the benefits of Tuoba Xianbei's counterattack to Murong Xianbei to the Han Kingdom.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Liu Yanda really didn't want to kill Tuoba Xianbei from the beginning.
Liu Yan knows one thing very well, even if the history has not changed, Tuoba Xianbei carried out self-sinicization in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there is no indelible evil feeling for Tuoba Xianbei.
Let's be more clear and transparent, there is no shortage of Tuoba Xianbei bloodline in the blood of the people of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations, and that is also the reason why Liu Yan alone accepted Tuoba Xiu, the royal family of Tuoba Xianbei, as his own woman, and none of the other foreign races accepted it.
After a long time, Xu Zheng was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the war on the Northern Front" In an instant, whether it was an empty head or a person who was thinking, they all looked at Liu Yan.
It should be said that Tuoba Xianbei's anti-water dealt a very big blow to Murong Yanguo, not to mention that Tuoba Xianbei, who was supposed to be used as a blocker, became the enemy of Murong Yan's army, it is said that Tuoba Shiyijian pulled many officials of Murong Yanguo to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and in a very short period of time, the northern line of Murong Yanguo was really erosive.
Liu Yanle sighed for a moment and said: "I have marched to a gang next to the word Pingqitu, and it has been simplified. ” Pingqi is located in the upper reaches of the Yushui fork, it is about two hundred miles away from the capital of Murong Yan Kingdom, Longcheng, and there is only one willow city in front of Longcheng that can be used as a barrier.
Everyone present knew what Dragon City meant to Murong Yan Kingdom, and knew that the Northern Route Army had already approached Dragon City less than two hundred miles, and one after another began to breathe heavily.
Xu Zheng asked both excitedly and puzzledly: "Your Majesty, Murong Xianbei doesn't trust Tuoba Xianbei so much, right?"
It means that it is impossible for the Murong family not to be wary of Tuoba Shi Yijian, it must be arranged in a targeted manner, how can the northern line corrode so quickly.
Liu Yan actually didn't know what was inside, all he knew was the changes shown on the map in his mind, but he couldn't pretend that he didn't know, so he said: "The Praetorian Guard is the absolute elite of the Great Han." ” Xu Zheng was the first to nod in agreement, and everyone behind him had a sympathetic expression.
"Since the battle on the Northern Front is going so smoothly that it is almost near Dragon City, Murong Ke should receive the news soon."
Sang Yu seemed to be trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, but it was difficult to hide the joy on his face: "Not only Murong Ke's East Road Yan Army, but also the West Road Yan Army led by Yan King Murong Jun, they have no choice but to return to Dragon City."
Liu Yan was hesitant about this.
Murong Yanguo is already making a big transfer across the country, which means that Longcheng is in a state of being discarded, so that Longcheng will not have the high political status and value it once had.
Sure enough, without Liu Yan saying it directly, Xu Zheng told that truth, which made Sang Yu, who wanted to show something, full of embarrassment.
"We have no way of knowing the progress of Murong Xianbei's transfer."
Ji Chang said fiercely: "How to leave the so-called East and West Yan Army is the big thing that your colleagues should rack their brains to think about":
