Chapter 620: The Forbearance


Shi Hu did not die, although he could only talk and move his fingers after cultivating for a period of time, he was still tenaciously alive.

Dingxiang has been besieged for a year and a half, during which the plague broke out in the city, except for the group of people hiding in Miyagi, most of whom survived, and the rest of the place has basically become an area similar to that of the ghosts.

How many people are still in the palace city, and the Han army can even know Shi Hu's health status, and it is also clear how many people there are.

When the Longteng guards were full, there were 3,000 armored cavalry and 8,000 mounted heavy infantry, and Shi Hu led the army to retreat to Dingxiang, leaving 2,500 mounted heavy cavalry and about 6,000 mounted heavy infantry, and some troops were assigned to his sons in the middle, waiting for Dingxiang to be besieged by the Han army, and the Longteng guards dropped to 1,700 mounted heavy cavalry and 4,000 mounted heavy infantry.

During the year-and-a-half-long siege, Shi Hu was unable to give any orders most of the time, and the Dragon Guards did not participate in battles other than defending the palace, that is, there was no great loss.

After the outbreak of the plague, Miyagi was affected somewhat, but Fu Yu dealt with it relatively timely, and did not let the plague spread, and the Dragon Guards did not die much, but those miscellaneous servants and palace maids suffered heavy casualties because of their isolation from the patients.

Fu Yu is too often of Shi Hu.

And Taichang, who is actually an official position in charge of sacrifices and education, can also see a little bit from his management of the palace city, and the fragmented and the Shiqian Zhao Kingdom, which may be destroyed at any time, is really not many people are willing to work hard.

Liu Yan is going to send Shi Qian Zhao Guo on his last journey, and Ran Min also wants to put an end to his past disgrace, and it is a little difficult to destroy Yan on this side of the battlefield.

Many official positions in the Han State were established without appointment, and not everyone could bear the credit of destroying the country, especially a strong country like Murong Yan.

Liu Yan originally wanted Ran Min to enjoy the credit of destroying Yan, so that Ran Min would have enough merit to improve the food yip.

Ran Min may not have realized Liu Yan's good intentions, and it is not strange for his character and political sense, but it is a little difficult for Liu Yan to arrange a successor.

Ji Chang deliberately reminded Ran Min, but when he was about to speak, he was pulled aside by Sang Yu and didn't know what to talk about.

The rest of the people who saw it had different faces, and they all completed the communication in a silent star-gaze, and it seemed that everyone had their own careful thoughts.

"Since the hussar general is going to Dingxiang, the king may not have to go in person" Sang Yu didn't know what to say to Ji Chang, Ji Chang was standing aside, but he was close to Liu Yan, and after saying a seemingly reasonable nonsense, his expression turned hesitant: "General Zhengdong not only has to face Murong Jun's main force, but also has to guard against the three subject states of the peninsula, and I am afraid it will be difficult to preside over the overall situation of destroying Yan." ” Liu Yan hesitated that Lu Tai could not control the overall situation, if Ran Min did not stay to preside, then only he would stay personally.

"Xintinghou is also in Yandi" Yu Yi said with a smile: "Xintinghou led the army into the grassland, destroyed Tuoba Xianbei in a war, shocked Rouran and did not dare to participate in the Central Plains War, and forced Xiliang to surrender, which shows that his ability is extraordinary." ” is talking about Xie Ai's series of achievements, if you purely look at the battle results, it is really suitable to preside over the battle of Yan Annihilation.

It's just that Xie Ai is not a general in the military, and there is an official position in the Imperial History Mansion over there, although he is a marquis, but the "weight" is still insufficient.

After all, Lu Tai, the general of Zhengdong, is also in Yandi, how can there be any reason for General Zhengdong to be an auxiliary general Xu Zheng wanted to speak many times and stopped.

Isn't he, the captain, also in Yandi, fully qualified to preside over this battle to destroy the country, but because his qualifications are too sufficient, even he himself can't ask for his life.

It's a very real thing, it's all a captain, and then he will make a contribution to destroying the country, and then what will Liu Yan want to reward for his credit Hussar general Ran Min made a contribution to destroying the country, the big deal is to be promoted to general, and it is reasonable to add some more food yips, as the first military general, the official position of Taiwei has not been promoted, just increasing food yi is completely inappropriate, and being promoted to Chehou will also break the balance of the aristocratic system of the Han State.

In the face of Yu Yi saying those words, some people let out a "hehehe" laugh, they knew too well what Yu Yi was thinking.

Those who originally belonged to the small court system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty only Huan Wen climbed to the top of the military in the Han Kingdom, but Huan Wen, the general of the expedition to the south, basically did not talk about the same background, and could not be called a member of the "southern faction", but like a "traitor in the middle".

Xie Ai was born in Xiliang, and the former Liangzhou shogunate had a friendly relationship with the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so that the faction from the south and the faction from Xiliang naturally had a sense of closeness, and the officials in the Han State had the opportunity to take care of each other and pull a hand, and it was normal for Yu Yi to recommend it when he had the opportunity.

"Is it necessary to make a difficult decision" Ran Min simply felt that the atmosphere had become a little strange, and he didn't bother to guess what was going on, so he said with a huff: "Since the king is going to Dingxiang, then the Guan Pavilion Marquis will be the main one, and the New Pavilion Marquis will be the auxiliary."

Such a simple thing, Dong Laxi is endless. ” For a moment, the atmosphere was made strange by Ran Min's words.

A "hehehe" sound rose again, whoever looks at it feels embarrassed, when everyone tacitly grabs interests, it doesn't matter if there are people who are "outside", but this person directly lifts the table is not good, it is simply impossible to play happily together.

Liu Yan naturally knew what everyone was doing, and he had long learned to be like a real king, turning a blind eye to certain behaviors and thoughts of his subordinates.

As a king, you really don't have to care about what your subordinates are thinking, what you need is to let your subordinates do something, and getting out of control is nothing more than removal or purge.

In fact, as a king, the two sides are not the same rank at all, and if there is really such a thing of intrigue between the king and his subordinates, it can only be said that this king only has the name of the king and not the reality of the king.

Liu Yan worked hard to be a holy king, and his subordinates had their own interests, so they showed their powers, and he went to be the arbiter, and he was his own referee instead of playing with him personally.

On the premise of not violating the strategic direction he specified, the game between his subordinates is actually a kind of balance, and the civil and military officials really want to work together, either the monarch and the minister form an antagonism, or the worse should be a change of dynasty.

There is no exaggeration, any power is suppressed, it has always been the east wind that overwhelms the west wind, the king is weak and the subordinates are strong, even if all the ministers are loyal, but some of the governing concepts that conflict with the king will inevitably have contradictions, and there will be confrontation with contradictions.

"Your Majesty."

Ji Chang glanced coldly at all his colleagues and said to Liu Yan, "The hussar general's proposal is reasonable. ” It's not reasonable, Lu Tai was suppressed on the front line of Ma Jieshui, but Ma Jieshui is not in the territory of Murong Yanguo.

Xie Aicai is in the territory of Murong Yan Kingdom, especially since half of Murong Yan Kingdom has fallen.

How can there be a master who will be suppressed outside the enemy country, but the adjutant general will lead the army to rampage through the territory of the enemy country.

If such a master-deputy relationship really exists, it also reflects the incompetence of the master.

As a king, Liu Yan needs to maintain the dignity and prestige of his subordinates, if Lu Tai is the main and Xie Ai is the auxiliary, but Xie Ai is too bright, but Lu Tai is bleak, then Lu Tai will inevitably become a joke.

Once a general becomes a joke, especially if he relies on others to get credit that does not belong to him, it is a big blow to his prestige, and no one will be willing to follow him if his reputation is bad, which means that the general is basically useless.

Therefore, Ran Min, a person who has no political sense and doesn't care about interpersonal relationships, said something that was basically not considered, which is probably excusable, but Ji Chang seconded it more than just agreed.

"Tai'an stays as the coach, and Heng'an and Mingda are the deputy generals."

Liu Yan can actually continue to stay, but there will be a trace of forced stay, which is naturally undesirable for the king.

When he saw that someone had something to say, he made a brutal decision: "That's it."

For a while, no matter who had anything to say, they could only bow down and salute: "No" With a new appointment, it is not Liu Yan who can finish the matter with his mouth open, but the prime minister needs to write down the edict, which will be stamped by Liu Yan himself, and then conveyed to the officials, and it is also necessary to notify the whole army before a series of processes can be completed.

Liu Yan didn't stay in Yandi, and if Ran Min went to Dingxiang, he didn't have to go in person, so returning to Xiangguo became a necessary choice.

Before setting off, Liu Yan summoned Tuoba Shi Yijian, who quickly whipped over to meet him.

Tuoba Shiyi came quickly and set off immediately after being summoned, and when he came to the military camp that night, he was not immediately summoned when he asked for an audience.

He was in such a hurry that he didn't bring many people with him in order to be deferential, and was arranged to freshen up, and he waited until it was dark before he was summoned.

What Liu Yan saw was a Tuoba Shiyi Jian dressed in Han clothes, and the middle-aged Tuoba Shiyi fitness was about 1.6 meters tall, but the body bones were a little big, and they looked very strong.

When Tuoba Shi Yijian entered the big tent, he immediately knelt on his knees and made a five-body bow to the ground, honestly without saying a word.

"Get up."

Liu Yan didn't make a move to stand up to greet him, let alone bring any kind smile, and didn't even let Tuoba Shi Yijian sit down, but stared at Tuoba Shi Yijian with a panicked face, and said expressionlessly: "If it weren't for Zaixiu's face, you should be killed." ” Tuoba Shiyijian's cheeks twitched and he knelt on the ground, acting like a man without bones.

But those who know his past experience know one thing, he is definitely not a person without bones, on the contrary, he is a person who is good at patience and movement.

In fact, Tuoba Xianbei's royal family is not necessarily very brave and good at fighting, but when it comes to tenacity, there is really nothing to say.

From Tuoba Xianbei's weakened dormancy, to the avoidance when he was oppressed by Murong Xianbei, no matter how difficult the situation was, it did not make Tuoba Xianbei fall apart, which is enough to prove that at least Tuoba Shiyijian is not an incapable person.

This time, Liu Yan did not let Tuoba Shiyi get up, and the tent was quiet for a while.

Liu Yan'an sat in place and watched the papers, and from time to time he would pick up a pen and write something.

Tuoba Shiyijian, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to move, maybe because he was nervous, or maybe the temperature in the tent was a little hotter, and soon his forehead was covered with sweat.

The silence was broken by Xun Xian who opened the curtain and walked in.

When he came in, of course he saw Tuoba Shi Yijian kneeling on the ground, but he didn't look too much at it, and walked to the case in front of Liu Yan with some documents in his arms, and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhengdong has an urgent report." ” The so-called emergency report is a bit complicated, including Murong Jun's withdrawal of troops, turmoil in Goguryeo, and the three sides of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla in the coalition are uniting.

The area belonging to the territory of Murong Yan is not too large, at best, it is a length of 1,500 miles in depth, and the width should be within seven or eight hundred miles.

Murong Ke's collapse happened two days ago, and if the distance is calculated, even if there are no more people who don't want to die, it is impossible to notify Murong Jun within two days, and then the urgent report sent by Lu Tai was sent five days ago, and the time was before Liu Yan defeated Murong Ke.

"Goguryeo," Liu Yan sneered on his face: "It's a test of whether the Han has the intention of annexation, and colluding with Baekje and Silla is nothing more than telling the widows that they are not without the strength to fight." ” Obviously, Murong Yan must have had secret ties with Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, but the Han state seemed too powerful for those countries on the peninsula to dare not resist directly.

It was probably because those countries on the peninsula did not dare to resist that Murong Jun felt that something could not be done, and Murong Yanguo's Eastern Route Army would prepare for evacuation.

"You are marching to Dragon City" The object of Liu Yan's questioning was Tuoba Shi Yijian, and Tuoba Shi Yijian, who had been paying attention, finally dared to raise his head when he heard the question.

Tuoba Shiyijian's kneeling position has an obvious wet piece, he supports the carpet with both hands and raises it slightly, probably after kneeling for a long time, his limbs are numb and trembling slightly, and he tried his best to stabilize before he replied respectfully: "King Qiqi, after marching into Longcheng, he marched in the direction of Da Liaoshui. ” The Praetorian Guards on the northern front and the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry after surrender, they were divided into several parts in the back, mainly cutting off the traffic of various roads, and approaching Longcheng was only incidental.

The main force of Murong Yan's army was divided into east and west, and only the necessary garrisons were left in the territory, and it was heard that Murong Ba was in command The current battle situation on the entire northern front is somewhat chaotic, and everywhere is encircling, pursuing, intercepting, and making breakthroughs, and the Han army has not achieved the strategic goal of completely cutting off.

The Han army on this side of the Qiushui battlefield will then advance directly to the northern front, aiming at the location of Da Liaoshui, seeking to block Murong Jun's back road.

"It might be a little too late."

Liu Yan slowly stood up, signaled Tuoba Shi Yijian to get up and beckoned, first walked to the shelf where the map of mountains and rivers was hung, and waited for Tuoba Shi Yijian to get closer, and then asked coldly: "Are you willing":
