Sweep the World

"From now on, there will be no forest to burn." Liu Xiang, of course, was in favor of burning forests to hinder the advancement of the Han army. He looked at the frowning Murong Ke and said: "Our army has arranged a large number of bed crossbows in the city. With the advantage of the terrain, it should be able to make it difficult for the Han army to break through."

Around the east bank of Qiushui is a forest area of ​​about four or five miles, and behind the forest area are irregularly distributed mountains. The so-called mountains are actually not connected, they are distributed into a large area, and the mountains are not steep. Many of them are just small hills at all.

In that fragmented mountain area, there are some places that can accommodate the army to fight, and of course it can also provide enough open space to build a camp. The army camp of Murong Yan army is built in it, formed by the army camp and the surrounding mountains. The linkage, based on the distribution of forces, set up a number of horns.

Murong Ke set fire to the forest in order to delay the footsteps of the Han army. The reason why he did this is also a mentality of "I will abandon this site, it doesn't matter how to toss it". It is the Han country who should be worried about the environment.

On Qiushui’s battle line, a 110,000 Murongyan army was placed. After the two sides entered the battle state, Murongyan's army lost more than 2,000 people, and the Han army should have lost four to five hundred people. The two armies combined totaled nearly 200,000, and it took nearly a month for no more than 3,000 people to be damaged. It seems that the intensity of the war is extremely light, but the environmental damage is extremely large.

On the west bank of Qiushui, the forest area cut down by the Han army was at least ten miles around. Timber was only a few of the materials used to build camps, and most of it was stored. The burned forest area on the east bank of Qiushui is very wide. At a glance, the forest area of ​​at least 13 to 4 miles has become ashes, and the dark scorched earth is shocking.

"We... indeed are not very comfortable with mountain warfare." Murong Ke would say this. The two armies have already begun an offensive and defensive war: "Two hills have been conquered in just one day, and the passage will soon be broken."

Liu Xiang could only smile bitterly. The people they arranged at the front of the front were Xianbei, the original Jin people, and many of them were prisoners of war from various nationalities in the Northeast. Those people were not determined to fight, and some soldiers whose family members were hostages in the back were. I want to kill my life but I can't play the Han army.

The two hills that were conquered, one was about 200 meters above sea level, and the other was about 300 meters above sea level. The topography of the two hills is very general, but they have the advantage of being condescending. Murong Ke did not arrange the crossbow as a weapon for the troops that were destined to be consumed. The Han army directly hit the top of the hill with two assaults in one day.

Of course it was Murong Xianbei’s general who commanded the defense of the two hills. Murong Ke’s saying that he didn’t understand mountain warfare was the only one who asked Liu Xiang cautiously: “There are people who are familiar with mountain warfare among Fuyu and Goguryeo. My father does not believe in their loyalty."

By the way, Murong Ke is now the Heng Duke of Murong Yan Kingdom and the title of the duke. The title of Heng Gong is a reward for Murong Jun's support after Murong Jun succeeded to the throne. It is not because of Murongge's outstanding military exploits. It is somewhat ironic.

Murong Xianbei defeated many forces in the process of rising. Yuwen Xianbei was beaten to split on its own. The Duan Xianbei looked no more. The rest of the Northeast countries are only Goguryeo who is lingering and struggling. In the process, it is more than just gaining wealth. And many slaves, the warlords of the hostile forces have not been captured.

The Northeast is a big place. Fuyu, Quwo, Shen, Lou, etc. are also peoples that have been passed down for a long time. Among them, Fuyu, Quwo, and Shen have established their own countries.

"Fuyu and Quwo are mountain countries in themselves..." Liu Xiang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Or maybe family members can be taken as hostages and coerce them to contribute to Dayan?"

Murong Ke raised his brows. He had thought of this a long time ago, but he still felt wrong.

The power of the rise of Han is very fierce. If it is only to dominate the central plains, the influence radiation is still limited. The problem is that Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla in the peninsula have successively turned to Han to make Han. Its influence radiated out, and it also gained a great reputation among the various ethnic groups in the Northeast.

The Northeast countries and various forces were successively attacked by Murong Yan. If Murong Yan remained strong, the Northeast countries and forces would not be able to borrow foreign forces to resist, but now it is not the Han Kingdom invading, and Han is in the Northeast. Does it also have a strong influence?

"My father..." Murong Ke took a deep breath, then spit it out, then said: "What is more worrying is Rushui and the northern line."

Old sword

Speaking of it, because it takes time to transmit the news, the news of Tuoba Shiyijian's anti-water has not been transmitted to Murong Ke, and even the news that the Han army has approached the dragon city two hundred miles has not been transmitted.

Murong Ke had reason to worry about Rushui. Murong Xianbei wanted to make Rushui an unwalkable water system more than once. The chain linking the river and the shipwreck to make artificial reefs were more difficult than they thought.

No kidding, it is really difficult to block the river with the current technology. It is not only resources and labor that need to be considered. If some technologies are not mastered, it can only achieve half the result with half the effort.

Murongyan has mastered the smelting technology, and the number of domestic craftsmen is not small, but their craftsmen still need to be responsible for the ordnance of the entire army of the country. Drawing out their hands to build the iron chain means that some ordnance must be stopped.

Let’s talk about the shipbuilding of Murong Yanguo. They have been under attack and destruction by the Han army since they wanted to build a shipbuilding base. There are ships that can survive to complete the trial voyage, most of them attracted the Han warships as soon as they got out of the dock. As a result, it took so many years to build a navy with a scale of more than forty Laughing Warships.

Under the premise that human resources could not reach, Murong Yanguo knew that the water system with the Bohai Sea was a big threat, and it was difficult for humans to break the navigation channel. In the end, only the construction of the dam was started. The dam project was not smooth sailing. Under the constraints of the dam, the dam must be dug in an emergency.

"Northern Line?" Liu Xiang said puzzledly: "The Tuoba clan was forced to eliminate the country by the Han King. The original king must hate the Han King..."

In the eyes of most people, the Tuoba Daiguo was forced by the Han to abandon its territory and travel far. Tuoba Shiyijian took the remnants and went to Murong Yanguo, so naturally Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Yanguo should stop. In a common position to target Han.

With a common enemy, Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei are not rivals of the Han country. First, the Tuoba clan retreated to the Xianbei grassland. Later, the Murong clan also planned to migrate across the country. They have agreed to deal with Rou together next. However, Donggao Che, how can they be regarded as close allies, right?

"Han is too strong!" Murong Ke was full of jealousy, and said solemnly: "It's not just that Han has swept the countries one after another, but Ben Gong said that it is strong, referring to Han Wang Liu Yan's endless ambitions for the territory."

As a Liu Xiang who studied Confucianism at a young age and then became a great Confucian, his attitude towards Liu Yan is very complicated. How many times he worships Liu Yan to sweep foreign races to restore the dominance of the Han family, but he disagrees with Liu Yan’s attitude towards all races. Especially the militant soldiers who rejected Liu Yan.

In Liu Xiang's view, the restoration of the dominance of the Han family is certainly a gratifying thing. It is not only that the status of the Han family is no longer a beast, but the reality is that they have received more respect from their masters.

Among the Confucian factions, there are factions without borders and nations. This faction is divided into camps based on culture, which means that the white point is the "Yi Di and Hua Xia, then Hua Xia; Hua Xia and Yi Di, then Yi Di Zhi" set, regardless of blood ties, only the cultural identity.

It can’t be said that the statement "Yi Di and Hua Xia, then Hua Xia; Hua Xia and Yi Di, then Yi Di Zhi" is wrong, because this school of Confucianism has not taken a right position at all. It does not matter whether it is actively integrated or passively integrated. This is usually the case for Confucian scholars who have no psychological burden after foreign races gain power.

For some people like Liu Xiang, they may have been forced to work for Murong Xianbei at first. After being favored or treated, they would not regard themselves and their oppressed colleagues as similar people, and then they tend to want to. To change Murong Xianbei's mentality, whether it is subtly or not, what I want is that Huaxia culture becomes the mainstream of Murong Yanguo, and from top to bottom, Murong Yanguo will be transformed into a country with Huaxia culture as the mainstream.

Similar to the fact that there are many scholars who want to change the culture and living habits of foreign races after they have taken refuge in foreign races, and some of them have been shockingly successful. It is really difficult to judge their merits and demerits. The most successful is the ruling class of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Sinicization is probably the most crippling thing about "I Daqing" after accepting culture and creating "1 brainwashing, 1 **** and 1 power" to create a group of slaves.

This period of Wu Huluhua was the first time that Hu people stepped into the Central Plains to become rulers, and their ruling methods were mainly violent and cruel. Because it is the first time that Hu people have entered the Central Plains, it is not like the younger generations can be heartless to take refuge in foreign races. It is more or less twitchy and psychologically burdened. It is precisely in this way that another group has appeared, that is, refuge. The aliens tried their best to make their master the ruler of the Central Plains, and used this result to prove their vision. The prince of the devil is a summoned beast

Without Liu Yan’s emergence, those cultural people who took refuge in foreign races would have succeeded one after another, and they had gained prosperity and reputation for serving the foreign races, and created a glorious example for the younger generations. Another thing is absolutely shameful, distinguishing the good foresight after the success of the alien race, and the blindness of the alien race without success.

"Fight for at least two more months..." Liu Xiang's psychological burden is quite heavy now. He belongs to the group of people who tried their best to instigate Murong Xianbei to go south, so he did it just to prove his own vision, but he obviously couldn't do it now. He tried his best to conceal the disappointment and frustration, and said: "Two months are big enough for Yan to evacuate the evacuees."

Murong Yanguo decided to move the whole country seven months ago. It was because they recognized the strong rise of Han and determined Liu Yan's determination to attack them. They discussed and argued again and again. Whether they wanted it or not, they knew that it was difficult to contend with Han. There is an act of national migration.

What I have to say is that Murong Xianbei's rise was not a fluke. In addition to his ability and strength, it was also because he was able to face himself up, and he was able to act decisively when he had to make a decision.

"If there are no accidents, I should be able to fight for two months." As soon as Murong Ke's voice fell, someone outside shouted for seeing him, his face changed, and he shouted: "Come in!"

The curtain opened, and the person who came in was Ju Yun. He looked somewhat embarrassed, and his face couldn't help but panic: "Henggong, a large number of Han troops landed from Rushui. Except for Lingzhi city, most of the way along the way has been wiped out. ."

What is Murong Ke afraid of? Early on, he was afraid that the Han army would use Rushui to cut off his back. It was not that he had not made various arrangements. When he heard that most of the arrangements except for Lingzhicheng were smoothed out, he was furious when he didn't believe it.

Liu Xiang immediately asked: "How many Han troops are there?"

The person in charge of the Rushui Front is Ju Yun, who is a member of Murong Yanguo. The official position of joining the army is big or small, depending on what he is responsible for. He was once a member of the army under Murong Jie's personal control. After Murong Jie died, he continued to receive the attention of Murong Jun and Murong Ke.

"Suddenly there was a big move in Rushui..." Murong Ke thought about more things. It was no longer the key to how many Han troops appeared on Rushui. He said solemnly: "Tuo Ba Shiyijian and the king, What's the news?"

After all, no matter how many Han troops launched an offensive from Rushui, as long as Zhicheng was still in the hands of Murong Yanguo, then Murong Ke would have no way of retreating. He is not a general who only pays attention to the local area, he also has an unimaginable concern about the overall situation. Hearing the actions of the Han army in Rushui, he instantly thinks that the overall situation of the national war must change.

The expression on Ju Yun's face was very ugly. He personally led his troops to fight the landing Han army. Unsurprisingly, he was defeated. He was chased for dozens of miles later. The first thing he thought of was to inform Murong Ke. I didn't care about other things, and even just guessed how many Han troops there were in Rushui, instead of knowing how many Han troops came.

"You will die!" Ju Yun knelt immediately, knocking his head on the carpet: "Henggong, please give the final group of troops, and the final will definitely pay for it!"

Murong Ke no longer cared about Ju Yun~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He was walking back and forth with a gloomy expression. I don’t know how long it took to go back and forth. The first sentence he stopped was: "Ju Yun, now we start from the west line. You will preside over the war."

Ju Yun looked up in disbelief.

Liu Xiang on the side was confused at first, and then there was an expression of great fear, and he didn't know what he was talking to himself.

"My father left you with 40,000 people. Do your best. You can hold on for as long as you can. If you can't hold on, you can surrender to the Han army in ten days." Murong Ke said and looked at Liu Xiang: "Chang Shi, you Should I go to another place with my father, or stay?"

Liu Xiang was still confused by Murong Ke’s words, especially the sentence that Ju Yun could surrender ten days later. In his opinion, Murong Ke might not insist on surrendering if he didn’t say Ju Yun like that. Murong Ke It is impossible for Ju Yun to surrender if he takes the initiative to say that.

"The villain...the villain..." Liu Xiang was a bit uncomfortable when he said, and he took a deep breath: "The villain naturally follows Henggong."
