"Ran Min was defeated and is missing?" Li Yue looked at Zhang Shengye.

"Ran Min abandoned the camp and went to fight, and was fighting with Yao Xiang and Shi Kun. Yue Wan suddenly came out and the Wei army was caught off guard. Shi Zhi of Xiang State took the opportunity to send troops to capture the Wei army camp. The Wei army lost ground and was surrounded on all sides. The entire army of 100,000 people was wiped out.

!”

Zhang Shengye's words caused silence in the hall.

Although Ran Min was expected to lose, it was unexpected that he suffered such a tragic defeat.

Ran Min got to where he is today thanks to his illustrious martial arts. Now that he failed on the battlefield where he was best at, the blow to Ran Wei was fatal.

From Ran Min's rise, he proclaimed himself an emperor and established a country, and it only lasted about a year and three months.

Its rise is booming, and its demise is sudden...

"All matters in the east are decided by the general." Li Yue rushed to Jia Jian and handed over his hand.

The three counties of Jidong have a large territory, and the Heiyun Army cannot achieve comprehensive defense, so the best way is to rely on local powerful forces to jointly resist the Yan Army.

"Don't worry, Commander, as long as your subordinates are there, Bohai will be there!" Jia Jian quietly changed his position.

In the past month, Li Yue used various means to win over the powerful men of Bohai, and gained a lot. The powerful men who stayed were basically those who were unwilling to submit to the Murong family.

Jia Jian has a high reputation and popularity in Jidong. With him around, Li Yue can basically feel at ease.

"It doesn't have to be like this. If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land. If you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. If nothing can be done, the general can lead the people to cross the river and avoid Yanzhou." Li Yue made the worst plan.

This battle also showed the true strength of the Murong family.

Even without Murong Ke, Murong Chui destroyed Ran Min's 100,000-strong army...

The Lutuo River cannot stop the Yan army from marching south. Maybe this winter, the river will freeze and the Yan army will make a comeback.

"Captain..." Jia Jian sighed.

"And Lukou, please pay more attention to him and try to be harmonious with him."

"I know." Jia Jian bowed his hands.

Chang Wei, who was on an envoy to Lukou, has not returned yet, which makes Li Yue a little worried and doesn't know what happened.

At present, Ran Wei is undergoing drastic changes, and Li Yue has to return to Chenliu.

Wang Wu was able to become the governor of a state and command an army of tens of thousands, so he was not so short-sighted.

We can only let Xiao Zuo slowly explore.

After everything was settled, Li Yue led his army back to Chenliu.

At this time, the news of Ran Min's defeat spread throughout the north and south of the river, and countless people in the north dragged their families and families southward.

But this time he did not go to Jiangdong, but to Yanzhou.

Li Yue felt relieved. The people's eyes were bright and his efforts in the past two years were not in vain.

After last year’s accumulation, Yanzhou has become full of vitality.

Looking at the ragged and skinny refugees, Li Yue ordered the Black Cloud Army to cook porridge, drive away wild animals, and escort them south.

Yanzhou officials had already contacted various major ferries south of the Yellow River to send waves of refugees to Chenliu.

School officials secretly visited various places, and no more robberies and killings of refugees occurred like last year.

The powerful people knew about the existence of school affairs and became more disciplined.

Yanzhou is developing towards what Li Yue hopes it will be. Maybe in three years, maybe in five years, it will be completely different. Unfortunately, in these troubled times, the situation has changed suddenly, and so much time is not given at all.

Just after returning to Chenliu, bad news from the north came again.

Ran Min's 100,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and he was nowhere to be found.

Ran Yin, the king of Taiyuan, was rewarded by Ran Min with a thousand Hu captives, who were taken captive and escorted to the state of Xiang.

Among those captured were Sikong Shi Pu, Shangshu Ling Xu Ji, Chariot and Cavalry General Hu Mu, Zhongshu Li Lin, Zhongshu Superintendent Lu Chen, Shaofu Wang Yu, Shangshu Liu Qin, Liu Xiu, etc.

Ran Wei was almost wiped out, and all the people in the country were wiped out.

Shi Zhi struck while the iron was hot and ordered General Liu Xian to lead an army of 70,000 to counterattack Yecheng.

Duan Gong of Fangtou moved his gaze from south to north, preparing to attack Yecheng.

Ran Wei was in a state of ruin.

The only good news is that there is still no news about Ran Min.

Although there were rumors everywhere that Ran Min had been killed in battle, none of them were confirmed.

He is tall and tall, and his equipment and horses are more conspicuous. If he were to fight to the death on the battlefield, he would definitely be found by the barbarians and show off.

There is no movement in the north now, which means that Ran Min is no longer in their hands.

However, after this battle, even if Ran Min survived, Ran Wei's time was basically running out. He had fallen from the peak to the bottom and no longer had the strength to compete with the Yan Kingdom.

Shi Pu, Lu Chen, and Liu Qin are not ordinary people. Behind each surname is a force from the north.

"The whole army took turns to rest for three days. After ten days, the army gathered and followed a certain person to the north!" Li Yue looked at the wind and clouds rolling south from the north, which finally pushed him to the forefront.

The impact of Ran Min's defeat was extremely far-reaching.

Jiangdong was also sharpening his sword and mentioned the Northern Expedition again.

"No matter what, Yecheng and Guangzong cannot fall into the hands of the barbarians!" Cui Jin's face also became unusually determined.

"This is natural. If Ran Min can't survive, it's up to us to take over!"

The Central Plains is a land of hundreds of battles. If you don't advance, you will perish.

To the south of Yanzhou are Jiangdong and Jingxiang, two stable forces with no room for development. Guanzhong is the home base of the Fu family. The only place where they can make progress is Hebei.

It can be said that Yecheng is Li Yue's only chance.

If you fail to capture Yecheng, you will either be stabbed to death in the back by the Jiangbei Expedition, or you will be trampled to death by the iron hoofs of the Murong family in the future.

Li Yue gave an order, and the whole territory of Yanzhou was preparing. Food, grass, ordnance, and young men and women all gathered towards Chenliu.

After Heiyunjun briefly spent a few days with his family, he returned to the army.

The Confederate army happily came from all over the country with food, armor, and weapons. In every battle, they made huge gains, including war horses, equipment, women, fields, money, and food.

Through the infiltration and influence of Honglu officials, the Yanzhou Army gradually broke away from its status as a powerful tribe and began to favor Li Yue.

There are only two things in Yanzhou now: preparing for war and preparing for farming.

Fortunately, a large number of refugees continued to move from Hebei, which added a lot of manpower to Yanzhou.

The only thing Li Yue is waiting for now is Yecheng's order for help.

Shi Pu, Lu Chen and others were captured, but Liu Qun escaped safely back to Yecheng. Along with Dong Run, Zhang Wen and others, the Black Cloud Army had unprecedented influence on Yecheng.

Looking north and south of the river, the only one who can save Yecheng is Li Yue!

Chen Liu's 50,000 troops were ready to go.

However, instead of receiving a letter asking for help from Yecheng, a secret letter arrived with no signature and unfamiliar handwriting.

There are only six words in the letter: Your Majesty has replied, please do not move!

This secret letter was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

"The person who used Zhangcao is an extraordinary person. It is most likely true. Since His Majesty is alive, our army must not act rashly." Cui Jin repeatedly tried to figure out the secret message.

Calligraphy was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and a person's calligraphy was a person's face.

People who can write well will never have a low status.

Now that Ran Min is back, Li Yue is not in a hurry to go north, "Then just wait and see what happens."

Asking you to go and coming uninvited are completely different concepts.

When Dong Zhuo was invited to Luoyang by He Jin, he got out of hand.

The major factions in Yecheng include not only the Beggar Army, but also the Black Cloud Army who boldly marched north. Even if their intentions are good, they will be criticized.
