In September of the ninth year of Taiyuan (AD 385), the Yan army camp was in Yecheng.
There were only two people in Murong Chui's handsome tent. Murong Chui, who was over fifty years old, had a red face and high spirits, while Murong Lan, who was sitting opposite him, was worried and frowning.
Murong Chui looked at his little sister and smiled slightly: "Alan, you have been away for two years this time. You have worked hard and you have completed your task very well."
Murong Lan shook his head: "My mission has not been completed. I neither assassinated Fu Jian nor retrieved the jade seal. The most important thing is that I did not win over Liu Yu. Please punish me."
Murong Chui waved his hand and said calmly: "I don't expect you to complete these tasks. The jade seal is what Liu Yu is determined to get. Now he has no reason to betray the Jin State because he is not at the end of the road yet, but don't worry Alan
, I believe this is not far away.”
Murong Lan shook his head dumbly: "No, the Jin army is already gathering, and Liu Yu has also returned. With the power of the jade seal, the Xie family can mobilize the country's manpower and material resources, but now we can't even capture Yecheng
, we have been here for nearly two years, and now we have become exhausted. Brother, you may not want to listen to what I say, but you still need to listen to my sister’s advice. Don’t besiege Yecheng anymore. Retreat to Youzhou and Liaodong as soon as possible to accumulate strength.
, there will be a chance to come back in the future."
Murong Chui raised his wine glass with a smile and took a sip: "Sister, do you feel that your elder brother's ability has declined now, and he can't even deal with Fu Pi in this small Ye City?"
Murong Lan's expression was calm: "I didn't think so. The Qin army and the Di people were fighting for survival. The fighting power that broke out in this state was terrifying. In addition, after Zhai Bin died, his nephews Zhai Zhen and Zhai Liao,
They escaped separately, gathered Dingling tribesmen and stragglers, and ran rampant and looted in the Hebei area. Although your army defeated these thieves many times, they always dispersed and reunited. In this way, we have been unable to concentrate all our efforts on attacking Ye. Besides, Ye City's city defense is strong.
, the defense strategy of the people in the city is also good, even the water attack was neutralized, this is God's will and not my fault."
Murong Chui smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Alan was far away in Chang'an, but he knew the situation here very well. How did your military skills improve so fast? Did Liu Yu teach you?"
Murong Lan's pink face turned slightly red and she nodded: "His vision and knowledge are completely different from those a few years ago. Brother, you are not mistaken. This man is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men. He is definitely not what he is now."
Achievement."
Murong Chui laughed loudly: "If she were not a dragon and a phoenix among people, how could our noble Princess Lan fall in love with her and stay with her through life and death?"
Murong Lan stamped her foot: "Brother, how long have you been, and you are still making fun of girls? There is no possibility for me and him. We made it clear when we parted this time. When we meet again, we will be enemies."
Murong Chui's eyes flashed coldly: "I know, that's why I haven't captured Ye City, just so that you and him can be together. It's just a Ye City, it's not worth mentioning. I can capture it anytime I want.
But in order to conquer Liu Yu, it is worth taking it a year or two later."
Murong Lan's expression changed: "Brother, do you mean that you did not attack Yecheng intentionally?"
Murong Chui nodded: "Yes, after you come back this time, I can tell you this plan. Who do you think is our biggest enemy in fighting for Hebei and reviving Dayan?"
Murong Lan said without thinking: "Of course it's Fu Pi from Yecheng, Qin State."
Murong Chui sniffed disdainfully: "Just him? I could break a branch and beat him to death. If I wanted to take Yecheng, I could have taken it a year ago."
Murong Lan was surprised: "Who else could it be? Ding Ling of the Zhai family?"
Murong Chui shook his head: "Although these Ding Ling thieves are extremely cunning and good at escaping, they are not difficult to deal with. If I capture Yecheng and then personally lead the main force to surround them, they will not be able to gain a foothold at all.
, although there are certain accidents, but overall, it is still within my control."
Murong Lan said thoughtfully: "Is that Murong Chong from Guanzhong, the Xiyan Army? I don't think Murong Chong has much ability, but Murong Yong is a powerful character. If they compete with their elder brother for the legitimacy of Dayan, it may be a bit troublesome."
Murong Chui smiled and said: "You are half right. If we don't take Yecheng, we do have the idea of letting the Xiyan Army stay in Guanzhong, because if we take Yecheng in Guandong, the Xiyan Army will definitely return home.
When the monarch is undecided, if they come as a whole nation, there are hundreds of thousands of tribesmen. Not only are they powerful enemies, but they will also fight each other like this, which will repeat the tragedy of the past. Therefore, if we do not take Yecheng, we will force them to continue to fight against Chang'an in Guanzhong.
, it’s a plan of mine.”
Murong Lan smiled and said: "I understand, what eldest brother is most worried about is the Jin Kingdom's Northern Expedition."
Murong Chui took a deep breath and his expression became serious: "Good girl, you finally guessed it right this time. Yes, the other forces are all suffering from scabies. Only the Beifu Army of Jin State is
, is the real strong enemy. In the past, I thought that the Xie family just wanted to preserve the family and follow the example of the Huan family to separate the vassals and stop after occupying the two rivers. But now it seems that my original judgment was wrong. They
When I come back to Hebei, I will be serious about it."
Murong Lan's expression changed: "Because of Liu Yu's persistence?"
Murong Chui shook his head: "This is one thing. In the last battle of Feishui, the veterans of the Beifu Army got a lot of benefits. Not only did they buy land and properties when they returned to their hometowns, they also became some township officials. Those who were oppressed by the township officials before
The common people have become members of the government. Not only are they exempt from taxes, but they can also manage people and live like small landowners. So this time these veterans are eager to fight. Even the common people in other places are also very motivated.
.”
Murong Lan nodded: "I believe this. There are not many people like Liu Yu who are purely for the Northern Expedition, but there are not many people who want to fight for the benefit. Who told them that they won a big victory last time? With the benefits, they will
It will continue. However, I am afraid that the big families will not be happy. This time I heard that the newly recovered areas of the Jin Kingdom did not allocate land to the big families. Instead, they said they would be tax-free for three years, and then we will talk about those families who provide people and food.
, I’m afraid I’ll feel like I’ve been cheated.”
Murong Chui smiled and said: "This is the second point I want to make. The Xie family is really going to go on the Northern Expedition, especially Xie An, because they are having a hard time now, and they must make contributions through foreign wars to get through this.
Hard days.”
Murong Lan opened her eyes wide: "Why are they having a hard time? Since the Battle of Feishui, their Beifu Army has made great achievements. After the war, they recovered a large area of territory, not to mention that Liu Yu took back the Jade Seal this time, and returned
A new achievement has been made.”
