Xu Kai was vulnerable to a single blow, and Cangzhou fell in a single battle, and the Yan army was in great momentum.
King Yan immediately ordered the army to march south along the river without stopping.
Soon, Lian Ke conquered Linqing, Guantao and other places. While the Daiming was stationed in the army, a large amount of food and grass for the Confederate army was intercepted. Except for transporting it back to Peiping and using it as military food, the rest was distributed to the local people.
The military adviser suggested burning the food and grass that could not be taken away, so as not to leave a grain of food for the Confederate army.
King Yan hesitated. It was a pity to burn so much food in vain. But the army is about to leave and cannot be taken away. It is too late to transport it back to Peking. Why not burn it and leave it to the imperial army? That doesn't fit with his style of doing things.
