Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight: the drum horns repeatedly sound sharp (40)
Yuyang County is now a stew of stew, and three forces are tangled into a ball. Among them, Kong De's situation is the most dangerous. He is attacked by two sides and may be attacked by Zhou Changshou's troops and Ye Zhen's troops. Zhou Changshou is the most embarrassing. He has the right to fight with Kong De and not fight. He simply let Kong De's troops leave and let him return to Tianhe County to cause trouble for Gao Yuan. But the problem is that next, he will face the possibility of nothing gained and lose the big mistake of losing all the city and other five important cities. In the country, he is in a bad situation, and his prospects are even bleak.
The possibility of being punished and putting the family in prison was that he would be in trouble. Now, he did not have a big umbrella like Zhao Mu, which was the most subtle. If Zhou Changshou chose to let Kong De leave and come back to fight him, his plan would fall into the air, which would make Gao Yuan face difficulties in Tianhe County. If Kong De's tens of thousands of troops returned to Tianhe, the Yan Dynasty would be able to gather troops several times the size of the Eastern Army and have the capital to fight the Eastern Army. And the advantage of the Eastern Army would be left with the mobile advantage of the Ten Thousand Iron Cavalry.
This is a bet, either winning everything or losing completely. Of course, for the Eastern Army, it cannot be considered a complete loss, because now he holds the whole city and as long as he guards these cities, Zhou Changshou can't stay in Yuyang. At least, the Eastern Army can get Yuyang, but Langya will definitely not be able to keep it.
This bet was that Zhou Changshou was unwilling to have nothing and became the biggest loser in this bet.
Ye Zhen was in charge of the whole city and was preparing to deal with Zhou Changshou's possible counterattack, and he also explored the horses one after another, exploring everything in Yuyang. After several days of suffering, he finally waited for the most wanted news, and Zhou Changshou and Kong De started a war!
Ye Zhen let out a long sigh, but Zhou Changshou was still unwilling to lose everything and wanted to seize the last life-saving straw. As long as he defeated Kong De and controlled the entire Yuyang territory, what if Ye Zhen took the whole city? He had to leave with his tail in shame.
Ye Zhen, who received the news, felt that every pore was open and laughing happily. Kong De had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was also a veteran of a long battle formation. It was easy to defeat him. Even if the elite Zhao army under Zhou Changshou had higher combat effectiveness than Kong De, he wanted to win. It was not something that could be done in a short time. The longer the time, the more beneficial it would be to the Eastern Army. Of course, it would be more dangerous to Zhou Changshou, because he was fighting in a guest place.
Naha brought a unit of 3,000 people and moved towards the battlefield. He went here not to participate in the war, but to warn both sides, and to see if he could get some advantage at the end of this war.
The atmosphere in Jicheng is getting tense day by day. Outside the city, the army of the East Expedition Army was stationed. Although there was no sign of siege, the army was increasing day by day. This can only show one thing, that is, the armed forces in Tianhe County were about to be swept away by the East Expedition Army. The troops coming later were to sweep these armed forces. Now, except for the two big cities of Tianhe County and Jicheng, the rest of the places in Tianhe County have been in the hands of the East Expedition Army.
The military pressure is second. After all, the force in the city is more than enough to defend the city. The possibility of the opponent forcing the city is not high. Gao Yuan is full of plans, but only 20,000 of which are cavalry. However, the situation in the city is not optimistic. The panic is spreading day by day and the food is decreasing day by day. Even if the most stringent battlefield control is adopted and all resources are concentrated, the cake is only so large. Every day, the cake will be bitten off. How many days can this piece of cake, which is not big? The supply of food to civilians has been reduced again and again. Now, even saving lives has become a problem. According to Chunyu Yan's situation, Jicheng can last for at most one month, and even the army will be out of food in a month.
Jicheng is very big. Although the high cavalry patrolled daily, the communications in the city have not been isolated. News from Langya and Yuyang is still spreading into the city. The reinforcements from Langya County are no longer expected. The East Expedition Army sealed Xintian. Wang Chang, the general of Hu's army, could not capture it for a long time. Instead, they were defeated by Tie Xuan, the Second Army of the South Expedition Army, who followed up. Now Hu Yanchao can only struggle to maintain the situation in Langya, and is stalemate with Ye Chong's Southern Army. Ye Chong even sent an army to break into Tianhe directly, showing that he has enough strength to do so, and from another side, it shows that the situation in Langya is tense.
Yuyang was even more nervous. The sudden intervention of Zhao army led by Zhou Changshou made the situation there particularly complicated. Now Zhou Changshou and Kong De were fighting to the death, and no one could do anything to each other. Zhou Changshou could not completely defeat Kong De, and Kong De could not fight a way out. Later, Ye Zhen's subordinate Naha led thousands of troops and horses to intervene in the battlefield. Such an army that could explain its position made both parties stop fighting. Yuyang actually stalemate under such a strange situation.
Yuyang can't count on it anymore.
These two troops, which were most heavily entrusted by the King of Yan, were all plotted to death. Can Jicheng still count on other prefectures and counties? Until now, the kings of Jicheng have ordered one after another, but all prefectures and counties claim to be recruiting troops, raising food, or reinforcements have set out on the way. But God only knew that they had walked there. Anyway, there has not been a reinforcement in Jicheng yet.
There was no good news, but another shocking news came from Fenzhou. Zhou Yuan was gone. Not only Zhou Yuan, but also Zhou clan members of the entire Zhou Yuan lineage, all disappeared without a trace. Yan Lingwei, who knew it later, finally found out that Zhou Yuan's disappearance was inseparable from the Supervision Office of the East Army.
This made Yan Ling even more angry.
Ning Zecheng's daughter Ning Xin's daughter had already lost face when she joined the Eastern Army, but after all, she was still apart. If Zhou Yuan also joined the Eastern Army, then he would lose more than face. No matter which country he went to take refuge, it would be better than going to the Eastern Army. But judging from the information collected now, Zhou Yuan might have really gone to Jishi City.
There were hundreds of civil and military officials in the hall, but everyone was shrouded in a despair. If they continued to develop in this form, Gao Yuan did not need to fight Jicheng at all. He was hungry and would not endure Jicheng in the end. He had to open the city gate, either fight to the death with his opponent or surrender.
"Negotiate!" Chunyu Yan walked out and looked at the Ji Mahal of King Yan on the throne. "King, Jicheng can't hold on anymore. Even now, Jicheng has begun to starve to death. If you hold on, more people will starve to death. At that time, our army will not only not be able to go to the city to defend against the enemy or go out of the city to fight, but will be used to suppress the resistance of the hungry people in the city. Those who are extremely hungry can do anything."
"Negotiation?" Tan Feng took a deep breath, "Sincere assistant, do you know what Gao Yuan wants? If he is the throne of the king, can this be given to him?"
Chunyu Yan said angrily: "Doctor Tan, I think you are a little confused. Yes, everyone knows Gao Yuan's thoughts. He wants the throne of the king, but at the moment, what he wants is Langya and Yuyang counties. Otherwise, this would not be the situation at the moment. Gao Yuan did not mobilize the Helanxiong troops in Panshan to come. This is leaving room for space. You must know that the Donghu now is powerless to launch an attack on the Eastern Army."
"Without Langya, Yuyang, is my big swallow still a big swallow?" Tan Feng asked back.
"Without Langya, Yuyang, Dayan still has half of the country, and the possibility of a comeback. If this stalemate continues, not only will Yuyang and Langya be unprotected, but even Jicheng will not be protected. Without Jicheng, this Dayan is not Dayan anymore!" Chunyu Yan shouted loudly. The weakest prime minister of Dayan in decades is now in a state of rage, with his hair and beard flying, his teeth and claws, making everyone get used to this civil and military officials who are always gentle and full of diplomatic rhetoric.
Tan Feng turned his head away and stopped talking. In fact, he understood everything Chunyu Yan said, but he was just unwilling to give up. Although at this last moment, he was still looking forward to a miracle. Although he hoped to stage a shocking reversal, now, it was obvious that everything was shattered. Neither Hu Yanchao nor Kong De could play such a superhero.
"If Jicheng does not want to stage a wave of resistance from hungry people, does not want to stage a tragic situation of eating Yizi, and does not want to stage a tragic situation of cannibalism, then negotiate with Gao Yuan." Chunyu Yan bowed deeply to Ji Ling, who had a gray face on the throne.
"Talk, talk, Chief Chunyu, you will take charge of this matter. Doctor Tan, deputy, send Gao Yuan away as quickly as possible." Ji Ling stood up, threw down this sentence, shook her sleeves, and staggered away from the throne.
Outside Jicheng, in the camp of the Eastern Army, Gao Yuan finally waited for the result he wanted most. Jicheng finally couldn't withstand this huge pressure.
Gao Yuan must have Langya and Yuyang. When Chunyu Yan directly threw out these two negotiation conditions and took out the king's order with the seal of the Yan King, the two counties were placed under the jurisdiction of the Zhengdong Prefecture, the negotiations were a natural thing.
