I’m The King Chapter 768: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (40)

Yuyang County is now a mess, and the three forces are twisted together. Among them, Kong De is in the most dangerous situation. He has two enemies, Zhou Changshou and Ye Zhen. Perhaps, Zhou Changshou was the most embarrassing. He had the right to choose whether to fight Kong De or not. He simply let Kong De go and let him return to Tianhe County to add chaos to Gao Yuan. But the problem is, next, he will Faced with the possible big mistake of losing the whole city and other important towns in five cities instead of gaining nothing, his situation in the country is not good, his prospects are bleak and he may even be charged with crimes and imprisoned, which may harm his family. Now, he does not have Zhao Mu Such a big umbrella covers the top of the head. Ye Zhen, on the other hand, is the most subtle. If Zhou Changshou chooses to let Kong De go and come back to fight him, his plan will fall into nothing, which will make Gao Yuan face difficulties in Tianhe County. If the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses returned to Tianhe, the Yan Dynasty would be able to muster troops several times larger than the Zhengdong Army, and have the capital to fight a decisive battle with the Zhengdong Army. As for the advantage of the East Army, only the mobility advantage of the 10,000 cavalry is left.

This is a gamble, you can win everything, or lose completely. Of course, for Zhengdong Army, it can't be regarded as a complete loss, because now he holds the whole city, as long as he keeps these cities, Zhou Changshou will survive in fishing. Yang couldn't stay still, at least, the Zhengdong Army could get Yuyang, but Langya definitely couldn't keep it.

This gamble was such that Zhou Changshou was unwilling to have nothing and became the biggest loser in this gamble.

When Ye Zhen was in charge of the whole city, ready to deal with Zhou Changshou's possible counterattack, he also came out one after another to inquire about all the movements of Yuyang. After several days of suffering, he finally got what he wanted the most News, Zhou Changshou and Kong De are at war!

Ye Zhen let out a long sigh of relief. Zhou Changshou was still unwilling to lose everything, if he wanted to grasp the last straw, he only needed to defeat Kong De. Control the whole territory of Yuyang, so what if Ye Zhen wins the whole city? It's not like he has to leave with his tail between his legs in despair.

When Ye Zhen got the news, he felt that every pore was open and he was laughing loudly. Kongde has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he himself is a battle-tested veteran. It is not easy to defeat him. Even if the elite Zhao army under Zhou Changshou's command is more powerful than Kongde, but he wants to defeat him. To win is not something that can be done in a short time. The longer the time, the more beneficial it will be to the Zhengdong Army. Of course, the more dangerous it will be to Zhou Changshou, because he is fighting in a foreign land.

Naha led an army of 3,000 people and moved towards the battlefield. He came here not to participate in the battle, but to warn both sides. By the way, let's take a look at the end of this battle. Can you grab a little bit of money by taking advantage of it?

Jicheng, the atmosphere is getting more and more tense every day, outside the city. The army of the Eastern Expedition Army is stationed. Although there are no signs of siege, the number of troops is increasing day by day. This can only explain one thing, that is, the armed forces in Tianhe County are about to be defeated by the Eastern Expedition Army. Swept away, the troops who came later were to wipe out these armed forces. Tianhe County now has two big cities except Tianhe County City and Jicheng. The rest of the places have all fallen into the hands of Zhengdong Army.

Military pressure is still secondary. After all, there are more than enough troops in the city to defend the city, and it is unlikely that the opponent will forcibly attack the city. Gao Yuan is full of plans, but there are only 20,000 troops, of which 10,000 are cavalry, but 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 severe battlefield is adopted Control has concentrated all resources, but there is only one big piece of pancake. Every day, a piece of this pancake will be bitten off. How many days can this small pancake last? The food supply to civilians has been reduced again and again, until now, even life has become a problem. According to Chunyuyan's knowledge, Jicheng can last for a month at most, and after a month, even the army will run out of food.

Ji City is very large. Although Gao Yuan's cavalry patrols every day, the communication in the city has not been cut off. The news from Langya and Yuyang is still flowing into the city. The reinforcements from Langya County could no longer be counted on. The Zhengdong Army sealed off Xintian, and the General of the Hu Division, Wang Chang, was unable to attack for a long time. Instead, he was defeated by Tie Xuan, the Second Army of the Southern Group Army of the Zhengdong Army, who followed up. Now Hu Yanchao He could only try his best to maintain the situation in Langya, and was in a stalemate with Ye Zhong's southern army. Ye Zhong even sent a troop directly into Tianhe, which showed that he had enough strength to do it, and from another aspect, it also showed that the situation in Langya was tense.

As for Yuyang, it is even more tense. The Zhao army led by Zhou Changshou suddenly intervened, making the situation there extremely complicated. After defeating Kongde, Kongde could not find a way out. Later, Ye Zhen's subordinate Naha led thousands of troops and horses to intervene in the battlefield. Such an army that no one could explain clearly made both sides stop fighting In such a strange situation, Yuyang actually stalemate.

Yuyang can't count on it anymore.

These two most important armies of King Yan were calculated to death. Can Jicheng still count on other states and counties? The states and counties are all claiming that they are raising troops, food and grass, or that the reinforcements are already on their way, but God knows where they have gone. Anyway, until now, Jicheng has not seen a single reinforcement.

There is no good news, but there is another stunned news from Fenzhou. Zhou Yuan has disappeared, not only Zhou Yuan, but the entire Zhou clan of Zhou Yuan's lineage, all disappeared without a trace Yan Lingwei, who was belatedly aware of his disappearance, finally found out that Zhou Yuan's disappearance had an inseparable relationship with the Supervisory Office of the East Zheng Army.

This made Yanling even more inexplicably angry.

Ning Zecheng's daughter, Ning Xin, defected to the Zhengdong Army, which has already made him lose face, but after all, there is still a gap. No matter which country Yuan took refuge in, it was better than going to Zhengdong Army, but judging from the information collected so far, Zhou Yuan probably really went to Jishi City.

In the main hall, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, but all of them are shrouded in an atmosphere of despair. According to this form of development, Gao Yuan doesn't need to attack Jicheng at all, and he will starve Jicheng until he can't stand it , had to open the city gate, or fight to the death with the opponent, or surrender.

"Let's negotiate!" Chunyuyan came out and looked at Ji Ling, the King of Yan, who was sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty, Jicheng can't hold on any longer. Even now, people in Jicheng are starving to death. If we keep going, more people will starve to death. At that time, our army will not only be unable to go to the city to defend against the enemy, but also unable to fight outside the city. Instead, it will all be used to suppress the resistance of the hungry people in the city. Make it."

"Negotiation?" Tan Feng took a deep breath, "Shoufu, do you know what Gao Yuan wants? If he is the king's throne, can this be given to him?"

Chun Yuyan 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 right now, what he wants is Langya and Yuyang." The two counties, otherwise, the current situation would not be like this, Gao Yuan did not mobilize He Lanxiong's troops in Panshan, this is to leave room for it, you must know that the current Donghu is completely unable to launch an attack on Zhengdong Army."

"Without Langya and Yuyang, am I still a big swallow?" Tan Feng asked back.

"Without Langya, Yuyang, and Dayan, there is still half of the country, and there is still the possibility of a comeback. If this stalemate continues, not only Yuyang, Langya, but also Jicheng will be lost. Without Jicheng This big swallow is not a big swallow anymore!" Chunyuyan roared loudly, the most vulnerable chief assistant of the big swallow in the past few decades started to surge at this moment, his beard and hair fluttering, his teeth and claws fluttering, everyone was used to this forever Gentle and elegant, the civil and military officials who were full of diplomatic rhetoric and the chief assistant were stunned.

Tan Feng turned his head away and stopped talking. In fact, he didn't understand what Chunyuyan said, but he just couldn't be reconciled. Even though it was the last moment, he was still looking forward to a miracle. , hoping to stage a shocking reversal, but now, everything is clearly shattered, neither Hu Yanchao nor Kong De can play such a superhero.

"If Jicheng doesn't want to stage a wave of rebellion by hungry people, don't want to stage a scene of changing sons to eat, and don't want to stage a tragedy of cannibalism, then negotiate with Gao Yuan and agree to his request in exchange for his retreat." Chun Yuyan turned to the throne Above, Ji Ling bowed deeply.

"Let's talk, let's talk, Chunyu Shoufu, you are in charge of this matter, Doctor Tan is deputy, send Gao Yuan away as quickly as possible." Ji Ling stood up and dropped this sentence Then, he flicked his sleeves and staggered away from the throne.

Besides Jicheng, in the camp of the Eastern Conqueror Army, Gao Yuan finally got the result he wanted most. Jicheng finally couldn't bear the huge pressure, and had to bow their noble heads in front of him. When Chunyu When Yan and Tan Feng appeared in his central army tent, Gao Yuan's eyes collided with Tan Feng, and sparks flew everywhere. The two were friends, fought side by side, and talked about everything together. But in the end, they embarked on the road of confrontation. Today when the two meet again, Gao Yuan sees the victor condescending, while Tan Feng is unruly and unconvinced.

Langya and Yuyang are what Gao Yuan wanted. When Chunyuyan directly threw out these two negotiating conditions, and took out the king's order stamped with the seal of King Yan, these two counties were placed under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion from then on. When the time comes, the negotiation will be a matter of course. (To be continued)
