Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 316
This mutiny made Li Yue see one thing.

The Yan State also fell into short-term exhaustion. In the past, the Yan army went south, often with 10,000+ troops, and sent troops out of three routes, but this time the scale was significantly smaller.

Feng Yi had 3 troops. Seeing that the situation in Lukou was decided, he immediately retreated without any hesitation.

Before doing it, it would take a few months to be around.

But this does not mean that Yan State is weak.

After Ran Min died, Murong ate no less than Li Yue.

Murong Jun went south and kidnapped 30 or [-] people. This is not counting the barbarians who had nowhere to go and voluntarily surrendered to them.

Both sides are just digesting what's in their stomachs. The next battle will be unprecedented and more brutal than the battle between Murong Ke and Ran Min.

After several generations of management, the Murong family has accumulated a lot of money and is now at the peak of national morale, with strength above itself.

Li Yue couldn't deny this anyway.

"Yan Kingdom traverses the north of the sky, bordering Goguryeo in the east, Zhangping in the west, and Chile and Tuoba in the north. They can be combined vertically and horizontally, and they can attack from far away and close, and encircle and contain the Murong family on all sides."

Crisis is motivation, with a knife hanging above his head, Li Yue's only thought is how to weaken it, surpass it, and annex it.

They could still live in peace with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but they only wanted to settle in Jiangzuo, including Huan Wen, and had no ambition to restore the rivers and mountains.

But with Yan Guo, it is an endless situation.

Murong has already stepped into the Middle Earth with one foot, and he will definitely not go back.

Liu Qun said: "Goguryeo is deeply afraid of the power of the Murong family and does not dare to look west. Zhang Ping is on both sides and will never take risks. Tuoba Shiyiqian and the Murong family are married. It is difficult for these three to change. The only one who can unite is Chi Le also."

Chile is Dingling and Gaoche. When Shihu was in power, he encouraged Yidi to move southward and move into the Central Plains. Chile people also migrated along this tide and settled in a wide area north of Yinshan Mountain and east of Jinshan Mountain.

Constantly moving south to invade the northern border of Yan State.

Zhai Shu, who is active in Hebei, is a Chilean.

"Whether they are willing to besiege Yan or not, they must send someone to try." Li Yue did not believe that Goguryeo was unwilling to take revenge.

Tiaoyou clasped his hands and said, "Tuoba Shiyiqian and Murong's face and heart were at odds, and when Jiezhao perished, Shiyiqian summoned all the tribes in Canhebei, intending to go south, but the chiefs of the tribes were frightened by Emperor Wu Mourning's killing of Hu. Ling did not dare to go south, so Shi Yiqian gave up this idea. Back then, Shi Yiqian asked Murong Hao to marry him, but Murong Huang refused twice. Shi Yiqian felt resentful, arrogant and rude, and invaded Yan. Jun and Murong Ping led [-] cavalry to attack Dai, and Shi Yiqian led his troops to flee from the desert!"

The elders Liu Qun, Tiao You, and Shen Zhong are almost 50 years old, and the younger ones are over [-] years old. They still remember many things fresh.

"So it is!" Li Yue was overjoyed.

Powers such as Goguryeo, Chile, and Zhang Ping are not as good as a Dai country.

Dai Guo's sneaky development over the years has also become a colossus.

Since Tuoba Shiyiqian had the ambition to take over the Central Plains, he would definitely not be of the same mind as the Yan State, and there was a basis for cooperation between the two parties.

"I am willing to be an envoy on behalf of the country!" Tiao You did his part.

Someone took the lead, and others stepped up.

"The minister is willing to go to Goguryeo as an envoy."

"The minister is willing to go to Chile as an envoy."

"I am willing to send an envoy to the state."

"Sure!" Li Yue knew what they were thinking. From Duke Liang to King Liang, Emperor Liang would be the next step. If you don't hurry up to get some credit now, there will not be many opportunities in the future.

If there is something good at the top, the bottom must follow.

Li Yue didn't like luxury, hunting, palaces, or female musicians. He worked hard and late at night just to strengthen the Liang Kingdom. All these people saw it.

If you want to have a place in the new dynasty, you must rely on your merits.

Therefore, Liang Guo's atmosphere is also positive.

Li Yue prepared carriages, guards, and gifts for them, and led a hundred officials to send them out of Yecheng.

In the rise and fall of a country, the role of diplomacy cannot be ignored.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been extremely clever strategies such as combining vertical and horizontal, long-distance and short-term attack.

Almost everything that can be annexed around the Liang Kingdom has been annexed, and the rest are hard nuts.

Even Zhang Ping, who is weakest in strength, has been flourishing in the past few years. According to Xinxing, Yanmen, Xihe, Taiyuan, and Shangjun, there are more than [-] barriers, more than [-] households in Yi and Xia, and six people in armor. The [-] people worshiped the general and set up the town, looking east at Yanliang.

The key point is that Zhang Ping also pays homage to the docks everywhere, and almost surrenders to all the surrounding forces.

As soon as I thought of Zhang Ping, Luoyang and Jinyang sent secret reports to each other. Yao Xiang and Zhang Ping were brothers and formed an alliance in secret.

The two hugged each other for warmth, and their strength was by no means weak.

But then came a question, the two of them wear a pair of pants, who are they going to deal with?Diqin, Yanguo, or the Central Plains?

Li Yue smiled and said: "These days, there are unfed wolf cubs everywhere."

Cui Hong rubbed his nose, "Yao Xiang is quite trustworthy. The Hebei War has not yet been decided, so he should not betray. I think the alliance between the two should be aimed at Guanzhong."

Li Yue always felt that something was going to happen in Guanzhong. After the war in the east was over, it was time for the west. Fu Jian proclaimed himself emperor as soon as he came up, which had aroused great resentment from the surrounding forces.

Murong Jun is at the height of his power, and so far he is only a King of Yan.

There are still many forces loyal to the Sima clan in the west, such as the Zhang clan in Hexi and Sima Xun in Hanzhong.

Zhang Shengye, who was beside Li Yuechong, said, "The scouts and school affairs should keep an eye on them."

"Wei!" Zhang Shengye accepted the order with his hands raised.

In view of Yang Lue's excellent performance in Lukou, Li Yue separated the school affairs separately, not only monitoring the internal affairs, but also responsible for the external affairs.

Scouts are more about battlefield reconnaissance, and more military.

School affairs are pervasive, infiltrating, wooing, propagandizing, spying, gathering intelligence, creating rumors, as long as it is beneficial to Liang Guo, they will do anything.

This has higher requirements for the quality of school affairs, not just cutting people with a knife.

However, with the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Arts Hall, a talent chain has gradually formed.

Since this year, there have been people who have graduated one after another and entered the military, local, and school jobs, starting from the bottom without any privileges.

Liang Guobie didn't dare to say that the upward channel was relatively smooth, and the privileged and powerful class in the country had not yet formed. Even Liu Qun, Shen Zhong, and Tiao You were veterans who only held high positions but not weight.

Besides, the Liang Kingdom is in ruins, and the Northern Kingdom is in ruins, so there is not much interest for them to fight for.

Not only could Li Yue not get much benefit, he even had to borrow the power of powerful nobles.

The Cui family alone contributed nearly 30 shi of grain, not counting other money, silk, ordnance.

The Zheng family in Xingyang, when Li Yue got married, took out [-] sets of various armors at a time.

And this year's rebellion in Yuyang County was also secretly supported by Mrs. Lu.

Other small tyrants have sent troops to assist in all previous wars.

It is currently on the rise, and the external interests are large enough. Naturally, there is no need for these gentry tyrants to involve, and they share common interests with Li Yue.
