Chu Ning sent Guo Zhijie to send a letter to Murong Yunji with the main purpose of persuading him to surrender. Even though all kinds of foreshadowing were planted, she was still worried that Murong Yunji would forcefully drive the people to the city wall to help defend the city in the end.

Between the army and the army is war.

But between the army and the people, it is killing.

Chuning didn't want his army to massacre the people in the name of defending the people.

Therefore, before the war, she wrote to Murong Yunji, clarified the general situation of the world, and also pointed out the current situation of Murong Yanguo, and was even willing to compromise—as long as Murong Yunji surrendered, Chu Ning was willing to let them return. Grassland, even knowing that they will make a comeback in the near future...

After writing the letter, Chu Ning couldn't help feeling that she was indeed a bit of a woman's benevolent, knowing that Murong Yunji would not surrender, but following this superfluous thing.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of a guard calling for a report came from outside the tent.

Chu Ning glanced at Liang Qiuyue, Liang Qiuyue understood, and asked the guard to report.

"Reporting to the envoy, a letter has just arrived from the Nine Provinces Bodyguard Company."

Liang Qiuyue took the letter box, waved her hand to signal the guard to go out, then opened it, took a look, handed it to Chuning, and said, "It's a letter from Master Bai."

Chu Ning opened the letter and applied wax, first checked the handwriting and seal, and only after confirming that it was Bai Su's personal letter did he prepare to take a closer look.

Just at this time, Wei Jing came over with the battle report.

Chuning quickly read the battle report, came to the military map hanging in the tent, looked at the word Chang'an, and pondered, "Finally Liu Yuanhai can't take it anymore?"

"Liu Yuanhai forcibly conscripted 30 sons from the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi, with an army of [-]." Wei Jing said in a deep voice, "I intend to attack Hanoi County."

"It seems that Liu Yuanhai's subordinates also have capable people. They don't move sooner or later, and they wait for us to attack Jinyang." Chuning said with emotion, and then cut to the point: "If Liu Yuanhai wins Hanoi County, he can form a alliance with Hexi. With the momentum of the corner, it is close to attacking Shangdang, intercepting our flanks, and restraining us from attacking Jinyang City."

"It's far to the east, enter Jizhou, and point your sword at Youzhou and Donglai." Wei Jing said: "We must keep Hanoi County."

Chu Ning nodded, and said, "I remember that there are only four mixed battle battalions left behind in these two counties?"

A mixed combat battalion with five combat divisions under its jurisdiction, counting logistics, scouts and various miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers, there are about 2000 people.

"Yes, there are two battalions in Hanoi County, led by Ji Feng and Zhang Huai." Wei Jing added: "The two battalions of Shangdang are led by Yang Houde and Zhao Tieniu."

Chu Ning thought: "Ji Feng is a veteran trained by General Xiao, and he has studied in Liutao Academy for a long time. He should take the initiative to join Zhang Huai to guard Hanoi. Even if he can't defend Hanoi, he can grasp the situation and bring his soldiers back."

The soldiers of the Guards Army were trained with great painstaking efforts. If possible, Chuning did not want these soldiers to suffer any losses—of course, she also knew that these people, as soldiers, have experienced battlefields, and death and injury are inevitable. Therefore, every year, I would go to the Temple of Heroes of Souls to worship regularly, and let the Quanzhen Sect hold a grand Dharma meeting for the soldiers who died in battle.

"But Zhang Huai and Zhao Tieniu are new generals." Wei Jing worried, "I'm afraid they will act impulsively."

"Don't worry, people from the Military Judicial Department and the Suwei Department are watching, so you can't be impulsive." Chuning was more relieved, and said optimistically: "Besides, they still have soldiers with them."

Only then did Wei Jing think of the situation in which the various roles in the army restrain each other, and he couldn't help admiring Chuning even more—could it be that she had expected this situation a long time ago, so she set up so many unheard of roles to reduce the independence of the general? Power decision-making power, to prevent the general's brain from making actions that are unfavorable to the battle situation?

……

After discussing the military situation, Chu Ning and Wei Jing led the troops out of camp and set out, cooperating with other troops, and slowly approaching Jinyang.

Murong Yunji led his lieutenant generals and relatives to inspect the fortifications on the city wall, scouts from all sides came to report: "Seventy miles away from the east city, a large number of Liaodong Iron Armored Army appeared, flying the flag of General Xiao."

"A large number of ambushes were discovered hundreds of miles away from the southern city. It is unknown who the main general is..."

"Eighty miles outside the west city, there is a Liaodong army rushing towards Jinyang. Judging by its momentum, there are about [-] people, flying the Chu character general flag..."

……

"Siege three towers and one..." Yang Boqi, Murong Yunji's lieutenant general, could not help but change his expression after hearing the scouting battle report, and said through gritted teeth, "Liaodong wants to forcibly besiege Jinyang City? Even though we are in a state of battle, we have not underestimated my country of Great Yan!"

It is indeed too small. Although he has been fighting with Liaodong in recent years, and his army has suffered a lot of losses, before Shangdang, Taiyuan, Daijun and other places are not lost, Murong Yunji has been replenishing the army. Now there is only one isolated city of Jinyang left, but there are as many as 13 troops withdrawn, of which more than [-] are elite armored troops.

Sun Tzu said: "Ten means encircling it, five means attacking it, and twice it means fighting." The army garrisoned locally, the army that Liaodong can mobilize to storm Jinyang City is no more than [-] to [-] at most.

The [-] troops were divided into three sides to encircle Jinyang, with [-] in the middle and [-] at most on the left and right flanks—nearly double the number of soldiers defending the city than those who attacked the city. How dare the Liaodong Army come to attack?I don't know whether the Liaodong Army is too confident, or whether the favorable battle situation in the past two years has given them the illusion of invincibility, and even made them so arrogant.

Murong Zixu also felt that the Liaodong Army's heart was too big, but he didn't dare to underestimate it. After all, he had already been beaten in the face. He just analyzed the situation and said: "The Liaodong Army may not be underestimating my Dayan. It's too long, and I'm besieged on all sides, and the soldiers are exhausted, so I have to rush to a showdown with me."

Yang Boqi heard the words and said: "What Sikong means is that the Liaodong Army is fighting in a different place... can't bear it anymore?"

"It's possible, but not necessarily." Murong Zixu turned around and said to Murong Yunji: "Just now I received the news that Liu Yuanhai intends to send troops to seize Hanoi County, and Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other large and small forces have heard the news and are discussing to join forces to attack Qingzhou. .”

Qingzhou is now in the hands of Liaodong, and Donglai County is an important stronghold for Liaodong's army to march westward to the Central Plains. If all forces can take Qingzhou, it will cut off the Liaodong army's retreat.Therefore, the Liaodong Army can only transfer its troops to protect Qingzhou if it forcibly captures Jinyang City and ends the battle of Bingzhou as soon as possible.

"The news is good news." After hearing Murong Zixu's news, Murong Yunji shook his head and said, "Brother Zixu forgot two people."

"Who?" Murongzi asked in vain, then his expression changed, and he came to his senses, "Wei Chuyan from Liangzhou?"

"There are also Yan Lingge and Fengming's iron cavalry." Murong Yunji said: "Back then when Dayan lost Liaodong, Fengming's iron cavalry made great contributions. Ming Tieqi never showed up..."

"There is no banner ambush in the south of the city, could it be the Fengming War Department?"

"Absolutely impossible." Murong Yunji deduced: "If there are cavalry in the south of the city, there is such a big movement of people eating horses and chewing, how could it be possible to hide until now, and only to be discovered by the scouts when they took the initiative to come out?"

"What does Brother Yunji mean?"

Murong Yunji asked back: "If we don't fight and flee, or abandon the city after defeat... where should we go?"

Murong Zixu thought about it: "The east, west and south have been encircled. If we abandon the city, we have to flee to the north and return to the grasslands to recuperate in order to plan for the future..."

"The grassland is vast, without a guide who is familiar with the road, the Central Plains army dare not go lightly, it is indeed suitable for recuperation." Murong Yunji shook his head and sighed: "What if Fengming cavalry ambushed outside Yanmen Pass?"

"..." Murong Zixu heard the words, his knees softened, and he almost couldn't stand still: "So, the Liaodong Army is not surrounded by three queues at all? Are they not afraid of being trapped on all sides, but they will arouse the anger of my Yan generals? Bloody, fight to the death with them?"

In the siege of the Central Plains, the emphasis was on encircling the three ques and one, that is, enclosing the three sides, leaving a retreat for the enemy, and letting the enemy know that there is still a retreat, so that they will not insist on defending the city and fighting to the death.

But the Liaodong army went in the opposite direction, besieging and killing them on all sides, trying to wipe them out.

It's terrifying to think about it. The people in power in Liaodong were able to hold their breath so calmly and hid an army for two years just for this last battle.

If it wasn't for Murong Yunji, I'm afraid that when Yan's army withdraws from Jinyang and goes north, when they leave Yanmen and think that they have escaped the pursuers and let down their vigilance, the whole army will be destroyed.

Even though he was an opponent, Murong Zixu still admired him: "It took more than two years to set up an ambush, such a deep plan, I'm afraid that the envoy didn't come up with it?"

"Mrs. Yan!" Murong Yun sternly said, "Besides her, there is no other candidate."

"Fortunately, brother Yunji saw through the ambush and saw through this situation, otherwise I, Dayan..."

"So what if you see the ambush..." Murong Yunji smiled wryly, "Donghu couldn't escape the situation Madam Yan set up, and my country of Yan might not be able to break it."

More than 30 years ago, during the Eastern Expedition of the Qing Dynasty, Murong Yunji saw and heard with her own eyes that she advised General Yan Bufan, using Youzhou and the Northeast Grassland as a chess game, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers as chess pieces, weaving a A huge net was built to live in Donghu.

More than 30 years later, Mrs. Yan started her journey again, using Kyushu as a chess piece and all living beings as her sons, weaving a net of heaven and earth, and the net is the world!

When Murong Yan State was at its strongest, it only occupied one of the thirteen states in the world - Bing State.

"Whether it can be broken or not, at least you have to break it to know." The leader of Rouran, Anahu, led a group of soldiers to climb up the city wall quickly.

Murong Yunji tilted his head and asked, "Anayu Shanyu means to ask for a fight?"

"This..." Anahu held the horsewhip, coughed dryly and said, "Murong Xianbei and I, Rouran, share the same bloodline, so naturally Anahu wants to advance and retreat with Brother Yunji."

"That's very good." Murong Yunji said: "The Liaodong army besieged Jinyang from three directions. It seems that the momentum is huge and the chances of victory are assured, but in reality it is wide and the battle line is long and controlled everywhere. On the other hand, I, Dayan, seem to have lost the Shangdang. Hedai County and other places actually retreated and gathered in Jinyang to preserve their strength."

Seeing that Murong Yunji didn't mention the Fengming War Department, Murong Zixu couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, and heard Anaru say: "Brother Yunji, did you forget about the Pinggang incident back then?"

"Jinyang City is not Pinggang City, and I am not Gu Wenxiong." Murong Yunji said: "With only [-] to [-] Liaodong Army, it is impossible to besiege Jinyang."

Back then, the eastern Xianbei teamed up to besiege Pinggang City, starving half of the city's population to death, and even many of Gu Wenxiong's subordinates starved to death.

"Brother Yunji, how do you know that there are only [-] to [-] troops in Liaodong?" Anahu retorted, "Have you forgotten the lesson of Goguryeo?"

Goguryeo wanted to attack Liaodong from behind, but the eastern part of Satuiyuan Taili raised more than [-] troops, but was defeated by a female soldier in Black Bone City.

"The lesson of Goguryeo, I will never forget the lesson." Murong Yunji said: "But judging from the current situation, I, Dayan, have an advantage over Liaodong."

"Really?" Anahu said disapprovingly, "Brother Yunji, please tell me."

"Even if the enemy raises [-] troops and comes to besiege Jinyang City, I, Dayan, have the advantage." Murong Yunji said: "The enemy troops come in divisions, and any one of them may not exceed [-] people, but Our army is concentrated in one place, which is one of our advantages."

"The second advantage is that I, Dayan, have the initiative in this battle." Ignoring the surprises of Murong Zixu and Anahu, Murong Yunji continued: "Although we don't know the specific strength of the left and right wings of Liaodong, the Chinese army But there are only [-] soldiers. If I, Dayan, strike first to defeat the Chinese army before the three enemy armies converge, and then attack the west army, Xiao Hongfei in the east will be two hundred miles away from the enemy army in the west. It's too late."

"But what if when we fight the central army, the two armies from the east and the west send troops to rescue each other at the same time?" Anayu wondered, "Isn't it just sending them to the door to kill someone?"

Murong Yunji handed the information sent back by the scouts to Ana Hu, and said coldly: "The enemy army on the east road came from Dai County, and the enemy army on the west road came from Hexi direction, both of them were nearly a hundred miles away from the Chinese army. It will take at least one day to travel all the way... Could it be that one day is not enough for my [-] elite from Dayan to defeat the [-] Liaodong Army?"

The Thirteen States refers to the Thirteen States of the Western Han Dynasty, also known as the Thirteen Governors.
