The situation in Health City has entered a relatively calm period. Huan and Wang Xun have been quieter recently, and have not caused any major turmoil due to the humiliation of Hualinyuan. According to the information from Junjie's intelligence website in the foreign army, Huan Wen has sternly written a letter to Huan, the incompetent brother, asking him to restrain his behavior and fulfill his responsibilities. Huan seemed to be afraid of being anxious about this elder brother. Sure enough, from the first five days from May to late June, he has safely fulfilled the responsibility of the guard commander.

The results of Han Mu, Xie An and Wang Tanzhi and others' research and analysis are that Huan Wen's battle to attack Yuan Jin is imminent. Only at this critical moment can Huan Wen handle the chaos in the capital without flawlessly and adopt a relatively conservative strategy to maintain superficial balance.

During this period, Han Mu did a lot of things, and the important ones were two major things.

The first thing was to find a way to make money with Xie An's secret assistance. Xie An used his clever hands to dig a certain share from the court's official salt transaction and handed it over to Han Mu to operate.

The transport of salt transport in the country was the most basic lifeline for the country. However, the Great Jin Dynasty was different. Only 40% of the real government operation was actually operated by the imperial court, and the remaining 60% were divided up by the major gentry. The part that Xie An helped Han Mu to seize was also dug out of the 40% occupied by the imperial court. Although the total amount was only half a century, only half a century brought Han Mu nearly 300,000 yuan in income per month, which was enough for Han Mu to maintain the additional cost of the sound shooting camp and the operation of the Han Mansion.

Two percent of the Xie family, two percent of the Huan family, one percent of the Langya Wang family, half of the Han Mu, and half of the other gentry, plus three and a half of the imperial court, the big fat meat of salt transport was divided into quiet. The Xie family and the Huan family also occupied the part of the canal transport.

Han Mu roughly calculated their income and was shocked. These companies made more than one million yuan in these two items every month. These borers! Han Mu sighed very much, and did not think that he had become one of these borers.

The second thing is that Sima Rong, the commander of the foreign guerrilla army stationed in the Yanque Lake area of ​​Zhongshan, had already secretly communicated with Han Mu. The scene in Hualinyuan deeply hurt his heart. He was the son of Sima Yu, the minister of regent. His noble royal blood was destined to be unable to suppress his hatred for Huan Wen's party. After Han Mu learned about Sima Rong's heart through the intermediary, he secretly came to him for a long conversation three times, expressed his interests, and completely fought for this person.

Thinking of this, it was a bit risky. Although Sima Rong was a centrist, if Han Mu fought for him came into the ears of Huan Wen's party, the conflict between the two sides would inevitably intensify. This move might stimulate Huan Wen to take the risk of usurping the throne and seeking power. However, once the matter succeeded, the benefits will be huge, and from then on, the balance of power in the capital was completely reversed.

Originally, after the commander of the Da Neiwei was replaced by Huan's Secret, the balance of power became more than 30,000 central guards in the imperial guards and three foreign troops and the Duwei Mansion, and nearly 40,000 large guards. Now, as one goes up and down, the situation has become an active situation of 40,000 to 30,000; the benefits and risks have always been proportional. Han Mu recommended Yuan Gang to join the guerrilla army, and thus the situation has become more stable. This period of time is probably the most comfortable and comfortable life that Han Mu lived in the capital.

Outside the important northern town of Jinyang City, more than 10,000 troops of General Yang An and Deputy General Mao Dang were already at the city, and they set up camps ten miles west of Jinyang City. Yang An ordered the camps to be built in the surrounding open spaces. The dense camp tents looked overwhelming, and it seemed that the main army had already arrived at the city of Jinyang. In fact, two of the third battalions were empty, but they were all put on flags. The patrolling soldiers brought rolling smoke and dust, which was difficult to tell whether it was true or false from a distance.

Yang An followed Wang Meng's instructions and made a tall general flag, with a large character Wang waving in the tent of the Central Army camp, which further provided false judgments to the enemy's scouts.

There were more than 20,000 defenders in Jinyang City, and the general guarding the city was Murongzhuang, the king of Donghai, Yan State. This matter was overwhelming, and Murongzhuang couldn't sleep or eat.

He never expected that the Qin army would go far and wide to Jinyang City from the north road, and cursed the general of Fu Bi and the priest. The Taifu Murong Ping had an inaccurate information and foolishly drove 300,000 reinforcements to Huguan to resist the enemy.

At this moment, he was standing on the city wall urging the civilians in the city to strengthen the city defense. The people who sent out to ask for help had set out a day ago. At that time, the Qin army had just emerged under the city. If they marched from Huguan to Jinyang for urgency, it would take about three days to arrive. He could hold on until the reinforcements arrived. Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and kicked a civilian who was carrying the landblocks to patrol the city walls.

Yang An was not anxious. He first ordered the army to rest for a day and cut down trees to make siege equipment. He and Mao Dang studied the terrain around Jinyang. With the current situation, it is not difficult to attack and break it. The difficulty lies in the fact that it is not broken, and it is forced to call for reinforcements. After all, 300,000 Yan troops were placed there, and even if you were asked to kill, they would be sore and weak, not to mention that the fact is not as easy as imagined.

To attract the Yan army to go north, waiting for an opportunity to eliminate some of the living forces, biting off the piece of meat one by one, he was anxious. Yang An's eyes were wandering on the map, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed at a place on the map and said, "It's this."

Mao Dang looked at the place and understood, "General, wise, I will go to the field for a survey."

Yang An nodded, and Mao Dang went out with a dozen personal soldiers and rushed out of the camp, heading south.

On the first day of July of the sixth year of Jianyuan, the battle to attack Jinyang officially began. From the time of the year, the Qin army launched a fierce attack on Jinyang with powerful artillery crossbows and giant catapults placed high. The fire of these artillery crossbows and catapults was amazing. Within an hour, the city walls were bombed and many places were collapsed. Qin infantry soldiers rushed over. The Yan army guarding the city fought to the death and repelled the Qin army. By noon, the Qin army suffered more than 600 casualties, while the Yan army had at least 3,000 people slept underground. Half of the city wall to the west was bombed beyond recognition and collapsed more than a dozen places.

Seeing that the Qin army had only dispatched more than 10,000 people, Murongzhuang could not hold it back for half a day. He was anxious and at the moment of helplessness, the soldiers suddenly came to report that the Qin army stopped attacking and was withdrawing from the camp.

Murong Zhuang was overjoyed. When he went up the city, he saw the Qin army fleeing back to the camp in a panic and closed the camp.

He laughed and said to himself, "Wang Meng is stupid. If he works harder, he will abandon the city and flee. But he retreated at this time." While instructing him to repair the city walls quickly, he sent out the second group of explorers who asked for help again. He had suffered this time and knew that this time he was lucky. If reinforcements did not come, Jinyang would be broken sooner or later.
