After Murong Chui's death, Later Yan collapsed, and Murong Chui's brother Murong De, after the disintegration of Later Yan, gathered forces and established a new regime. Murong De cut up land on the Shandong Peninsula, and Qingdao, Jinan, Yanzhou and other places were all owned by himself, and the southern Yan capital guangzhou was established.
However, in the shandong territory, the common people are extremely feudal, there are many large households, and there are also many low-key old families, so these big families have lied about the population of their families in order to evade taxes and evade labor, and they have lied about the population of their families. Later, Murong De's men suggested that Murong De search house to house, and as a result, 58,000 more households were newly discovered in Qingzhou alone, and these hidden wealth became the richest period in Southern Yan.
In 405, Murong De died, and he was succeeded by his nephew Murong Chao. However, Murong Chao was a man who was full of fun, and every day he took his harem beauties to hunt, and then arranged for his generals to lead troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and in 409 he captured Suyu and captured thousands of female dependents, causing the people to the south of Pengcheng to be afraid of not taking it, and each family built a dock fort to defend itself.
In March 409, Liu Yu led a large army to attack Southern Yan to the north. He left his troops to deploy while fighting, and I was afraid that others would cut the back road, from Jiankang to Langya, and they all stayed in the army. Someone told Liu Yu that if the Yan people held the fortress, or jianbi Qingye, we drove straight in, I am afraid there will be no return, Liu Yu smiled and said, I have considered this matter, the Yan people are happy, there is no such long-term vision, and they cherish the grass seedlings, and they will not be jianbi Qingye.
Yan has three strategies for up, middle and down
Murong Chao also received the news that Liu Yu's army was coming to attack, so he arranged for his ministers to discuss how to deal with it. Murong Chao had a general named Gongsun Fifth Floor, and he suggested that Murong Chao and the Wu army were fierce and not suitable for fighting against them, and we should occupy the dangerous position of Da Da Da to prevent them, and when the time is long, they will not be able to attack for a long time, and their morale will inevitably drop sharply. Then arrange for the soldiers to cut their back roads, cut off their grain and grass, and we will inevitably win by attacking back and forth from a high height, which is the best strategy.
Or we will hold out the walls and clear the wilderness, burn all the other grain except our own grain, so that the enemy has no grain to eat, we will not be able to hold out, and within a few months, the enemy army will be defeated. If the enemy crosses the Da Da Nang, our army will go out of the city to fight again, which is the next strategy.
After Murong Chao listened, he instead followed the contempt, he did not take it seriously and told everyone that the Wu army would be tired after a long journey, we had the land of the five continents of Eastern Liaoning in Shandong, tens of thousands of cavalry, and when they passed the Da Da, we were out of the cavalry, and we would definitely win. Now that the wheat is sprouting, it would be a pity that the days of the great harvest were ruined.
At this time, the lieutenant Murong Zhen persuaded Murong Chao that if our cavalry went to war, we should also fight in the plains of the plains, and if we went out to fight, we could return to Guannei if we were unfavorable, and if we let the enemy troops enter the pass, the consequences would be unimaginable. But Murong Chao just wouldn't listen!
Liu Yu led the army all the way unimpeded, all the way into the Guannei, Liu Yu looked at it, no one came to fight, haha laughed, the soldiers around him asked Liu Yu, the battle has not yet won why laugh haha, Liu Yu said that we have entered the pass, morale is strong, and you see this field immediately harvested, we have no threat, and there is grain, victory is in hand, there is a reason not to be happy there!
In June, Liu Yu led his army to Yishui, Shandong, and Murong Chao arranged for his generals to guard Linqu. Liu Yu looked at the situation in Linqu and found that the city was empty, so he arranged for a strange army to attack the city from the small road, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and victory was won, and Linqu was captured. Murong Chao fled to Xiaocheng, and Liu Yu sent a large army to surround Xiaocheng.
Hou Qin saw death and could not be saved
The town was besieged and the situation was critical. Murong Hui told Murong Chao that we should ask Later Qin for help, so Murong Chao arranged for his subordinate Han Fan to go to Later Qin for help, and Yao Xing, the king of Qin, brought a message to Liu Yu, I have 100,000 iron horses, if you do not retreat, immediately drive straight into attack you.
Liu Yu didn't listen, and told the emissaries of the Qin army that I had originally planned to destroy Yan and take your Qin state, and now I just let your 100,000 iron riders come and go.
Liu Mu heard that the emissaries of the Qin state had come, hurriedly went to find Liu Yu, and when he found that the emissaries of the Qin kingdom had left, he complained to Liu Yu, why didn't he discuss such a big thing to me, and now he promised the emissaries of the Qin state to go to war, in case the Qin state suddenly killed, what can we do!
Liu Yu looked at Liu Muhahaha, pay attention to the speed of the soldiers in the war, there are 100,000 iron horses who have not come early, and now arrange a messenger to report my military situation, I am afraid that I do not know, it is clear that I still can't take care of it, see me cut yan, he himself is afraid, looking for someone to scare me.
In fact, the situation was the same as Liu Yu thought, Later Qin and Xia Guo were inseparable, there was no time to greet the situation of yan state, and later Later Qin was defeated by xia state, and Han Fan of yan state heard the news that the yan state was about to be destroyed, so he turned to Liu Yu.
In 410, Liu Yu attacked Guanggu City, because Guanggu City was extremely strong, and it took a lot of effort to capture Guanggu City, and it lost a lot of troops, Liu Yu was very angry, and ordered that all the men in the city be executed, and the women were given rewards to the soldiers. After Han Fan heard this, he suggested to Liu Yu that the Jin Dynasty had now gone to the south, and these Central Plains people were the people of the former emperor, and there was no way but to rely on the local strong people to survive, and now if they were all put to death. Then the people of the world will certainly complain, and no one will come to us in the future.
After Liu Yu listened, he felt that Han Fan was right. He changed his attitude and thanked Han Fan for reminding him, but the princes and nobles of Southern Yan were all killed by Liu Yu's orders, and tens of thousands of relatives of the nobles were sold as slaves. Murong Chao was sent to Jiankang and cut.
