Chapter 1840: Zhang Gun sacrificed his life to gain loyalty
Zhang Gun and Cui Hong looked at each other. Cui Hong raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, all the major Han families in Hebei are still taking a wait-and-see attitude. No matter what conditions we offer, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it immediately.
Surrender to us, after all, even if we make them kings and prime ministers, if we can't win in Hebei and eliminate Houyan, it will be nothing."
Tuoba Gui said coldly: "With these Han families providing military supplies and manpower, are we still afraid that we will not be able to conquer Hebei? Now the Yan army no longer dares to go out of the city to fight with us. They want to wear us away by defending the city and clearing the country. But
"As long as these Hebei Han people sincerely help us, they will not be able to defeat us."
An Tong smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty is wise. These Han families have dozens or millions of stones of food and grass hidden in their fortresses in the mountains, which is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops for several years. As long as they are willing to
If we are loyal to the Wei Dynasty, it doesn't matter if we spend three years here."
Zhang Gun said calmly: "Shilang Cui made it clear just now that before the outcome is decided, it is impossible for them to clearly stand on a certain side. If they can be made to contribute by appointing officials and making wishes, then Hou Yan would have used them long ago.
, after all, their current status is still the governor of Houyan's state and county."
Tuoba Gui sneered: "Hou Yan? Murong Bao is the loser. Only a fool would stand on his side. From now on, Yan, who was so strong back then, will be defeated by this idiot in one battle. Even his God of War, I, will be defeated by him."
Damn it, if I didn’t have such an opponent in power, how could I have achieved dominance so easily?”
Zhang Gun solemnly said: "Your Majesty, you must not be careless. You said it well when you reprimanded Tuoba Yi and Helan Lu just now. They were so arrogant because of their victory that they suffered such a great defeat, but you have never fought in these years.
Even if we are not victorious, there is still such a danger. As your loyal counselor, I must point this out, even if you kill me for this, I must point it out."
Tuoba Gui nodded: "What I need is your blunt advice. However, you said that I am arrogant. I don't think so. Although Murong Bao is incompetent, Yan State still has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, right?
It is so easy to deal with, so I fully planned this time and mobilized the entire grassland army. More than 400,000 troops went out to destroy Yan in one fell swoop. I also fully considered the strength of Yan State. Now I am not worried about field battles.
I'm just worried that if the siege lasts for a long time, there will be food problems. That's why I want you to recommend famous Han people to cooperate with them. I can retain their existing rights and interests and even give them more. Why is this so arrogant and arrogant?
"
Zhang Gun sighed: "Your Majesty thinks from his own perspective, but cannot think from others' perspectives and standpoints. This way of thinking is very dangerous, arrogant and arrogant, and often lacks such a deep understanding of others.
"
Tuoba Gui frowned and said disapprovingly: "Aren't these Han families not wanting to express their stance before the outcome is decided? Okay, then I will quickly rush the troops to attack and get all the letters first. Then
Isn’t that what I asked He Lanlu to do just now? If he can’t do it, I will attack the city myself!”
Cui Hong sighed: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about this question? Has the Yan army really lost the ability to fight with our army in the field now? Just a year ago, when Murong Chui dragged his sick body to the expedition, they
There are tens of thousands of elite armored cavalrymen who can kill our brave general Tuoba Qian in a single battle. Even His Majesty is planning to move to Mobei to temporarily avoid the Yan army. Why did they fail after just one year?
We no longer have the courage to fight? Could it be that if Murong Chui dies, the Yan Kingdom will really have no generals or soldiers?"
An Tong said coldly: "That's because after Murong Chui's death, his younger brothers and nephews fought for power one by one and could not work together to fight against foreign enemies. Just like the battle of Bingzhou, we originally fought against Murong Nong and Murong Lin
The preparations for a big battle were completely useless in the end, the enemy forces undermined each other and collapsed, just like Tuoba Yi and Helan Lu."
Cui Hong said seriously: "That's because the two kings of the Murong clan in Bingzhou were not convinced by each other, and they were not superior or subordinate to each other. In addition, we suddenly mobilized a large army and caught them off guard. But now
, the strength of our army is completely exposed, and Murong's Hebei is its last heartland. Once it is lost again, it will lose all its foundations in the Central Plains. Even if it retreats outside the pass, it will only survive and there will be no chance of a comeback.
.So they will fight to the death here to resist, and all conflicts and discords will be temporarily put aside."
"Just like the Battle of Yecheng, although the conflict between our two generals led to the failure, Murongde's defense, attack on the camp, use of time, and attack were almost impeccable. His level of military use was as high as that of Murong Chui.
Duo Rang, this proves that if the Murong clan can work together now and not hinder each other, they are still very powerful. Yecheng is just a companion capital, not the main defense force, but among the troops chasing us, the armored cavalry are more than
Ten thousand, this is what our army has seen with our own eyes. The city of Ye has such strength. The Yan army in Zhongshan City will only be stronger. We tried to attack the city a few days ago and returned with a disastrous defeat. But we have such strength but do not fight in the field.
, if we are allowed to run rampant outside, it can only mean one thing, that is, the Yan State now has a very terrible plan, and it may be that it wants to turn around and deal a fatal blow to our Wei Dynasty! "
Tuoba Gui's expression changed drastically. He stood up and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Shangshu, what are you talking about? I have an army of more than 400,000. This is a scale that has never been seen in the grassland. Yan Jun wants to
Fight to destroy me? Are you crazy!"
Zhang Gun said in a deep voice: "Just a dozen years ago, the former Qin King Fu Jian assembled the largest army in history, 830,000 troops, and wanted to destroy Jin in one fell swoop. What was the result? The Battle of Feishui.
His majesty was completely lost, and in less than three years, he died and his country was destroyed. This is a living and bloody lesson, how can your majesty ignore it?"
An Tong said sharply: "Zhang Gun, what do you mean? Comparing His Majesty to Fu Jian, what are your intentions?!"
Zhang Gun took off his hat, his pale hair fluttering in the wind, and said loudly: "I am loyal and loyal, and I will give my advice frankly. If your majesty thinks that this is disrespectful to you and shakes the morale of the army, please behead me.
Everyone, I am afraid that it will be easy for Your Majesty to kill me, but it will not be easy after listening to the loyal advice!"
Tuoba Gui gritted his teeth: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Gun took a deep breath and said loudly: "Send servant tribes to plunder various places, destroy the farmland in the Hebei plain, kill and plunder the cattle and sheep of the tribes in Hebei, while the army secretly set off, and within ten days, it retreated to the west of Taihang. Only by returning to
Only by merging the states will your Majesty be safe, and only then will the Wei Dynasty be safe!"
