I’m The King Chapter 762: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (34)

Martial law, steel knives and spears, blood, and grain merchants beheaded at Caishikou, when the state power shows its sharp fangs, it is still extremely effective in deterring ordinary people. On the surface, Jicheng seems to be recovering. I found peace, but after closing the door, I couldn't hide the fear in my heart.

A series of decrees were promulgated from the government affairs hall of the palace. The food for every household was collected by a group of soldiers. When all the dignitaries in Jicheng bowed their heads in front of the army, Ordinary people have no power to resist.

With the Lifang as the unit, all the young and strong were organized, and the instructors sent by the army conducted some simple training, even the sitting system, so that everyone honestly began to participate in this city-wide mobilization among.

The enemy army is on the border, and the army must ensure that they have enough to eat. Ordinary people are miserable. The daily rationed food supply can only be boiled with gruel, and it is impossible to eat enough. of.

Jicheng has calmed down on the surface, but everyone, including Ji Ling, knows that under the calm surface, there is often a wildfire that can burn everything, and everything will be melted in the fire. For ashes, but to make this fire never burn, the key at this moment is not inside the city, but outside the city.

The Second Division of the Young Guards Army of the Eastern Expedition Army marched towards the city of Tianhe County, with a mere 5,000 troops, they forced Ji Wugui to retreat inside the city, while the first division was led by Yang Dasha. Set up an ambush, or make a surprise attack, and wipe out all the soldiers and horses stationed in Tianhe County to help the county city one by one. It really turned Tianhe County into an isolated city.

Gao Yuan personally led two cavalry divisions, 10,000 iron cavalry, bypassed Tianhe County City, roared past, and approached Jicheng. Arrived outside Jicheng at the beginning of July, and brazenly set up camp. I saw the high trenches and deep bases of the Eastern Army. Divided into two camps on the left and right, entrenched outside Jicheng, all the high-ranking civil and military officials of Jicheng who went up to watch the enemy looked worried. From the looks of it, doesn't this look like he wants to leave in the short term?

Of course Gao Yuan won't retreat so easily. Although he doesn't want to take down Jicheng yet, in fact, with the strength he can mobilize now, he can't take down a royal capital like Jicheng, but this does not prevent him from wanting to get what he wants from Jicheng. s things. If he can't get enough chips, he will never retreat easily, Jicheng, don't fight. As long as his soldiers and horses appear outside the capital, whether it is military or political, the blow to the Yan State court will be fatal.

"Langya, Yuyang, no matter which one it is, Ji Ling has to spit out one for me, otherwise, I will make it impossible for a single person to come out of his Jicheng forever." In the big tent, Gao Yuan stood Before the hanging map. Use a charcoal pencil to draw heavily on these two places.

"Why don't you want both?" On the one hand, Shangguan Hong entered the army this time with great interest. It went smoothly unexpectedly. To be honest, so far, not only him, but also Gao Yuan was a little surprised. The soldiers of Tianhe County were not only low in combat effectiveness and will to fight, but they also made stupid moves one after another. In just over half a month, the main force of the soldiers in Tianhe County was almost wiped out, leaving the more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in the city of Tianhe County. I'm afraid that even the city will not dare to step out.

"Of course I want both." Gao Yuan spread his hands, "But Lu has to walk step by step. Meals have to be eaten bite by bite. If the appetite is too big, it will break the stomach. Of course, if there is such a I will never let go of this opportunity. In this battle, if Langya and Yuyang are really won, the Yan Kingdom Chaotang will become a candle in the wind, and it will be extinguished at any time in the wind and rain These two prefectures are the important towns of the Yan Kingdom. If we take these two places, only Tianhe will be left, and will be surrounded by Zhengdong Mansion on three sides. The day of destruction can almost be counted down."

"Opportunity, what kind of opportunity is it?" Shangguan Hong rubbed his hands, "If there is an opportunity, we will take it, if there is no opportunity, we can create an opportunity!"

Listening to Shangguan Hong's words, Gao Yuan was a little stunned, it sounded so familiar. Still thinking about this sentence in his mind, He Zhiyuan had already lifted the curtain outside, "Commander, Niu Ben of the Overwatch Council, please see me."

"Niu Ben is here, let him in." Gao Yuan nodded. Niu Ben and Niu Teng are both Ning Xin's confidantes. , but it also made great contributions to Zhengdong Mansion. Till now, Niu Teng is still in Donghu, staying with Ning Xin’s fish, Mugulu. A huge force has been raised. As long as this force is well integrated, it will definitely make the Donghu people's heads hurt. For half a year, the Overwatch Council has been trying to devise thousands of ways to smuggle weapons there. Of course, these weapons were all seized from the Donghu people. The standard weapons of the Zhengdong Army cannot appear there yet. Once the Donghu army stationed there discovers these standard weapons, it will inevitably cause trouble.

"I have met the governor, I have met the commander of the Shangguan!" Niu Ben strode into the tent, wearing only a short jacket, with bare arms, a small head, and his exposed arms were covered with shiny sweat Zhu, at a glance, knew that he had traveled a long distance.

Gao Yuan poured a bowl of water from the table and handed it to Niu Ben, "Let's drink some water before we talk. Seeing you like this, I'm afraid you came here by running all the way. Don't worry, don't worry."

Niu Ben did have an important matter to report, but seeing Gao Yuan's calm expression, he subconsciously calmed down. His eyes were full of respect, and he didn't feel anything when a person like him deliberately showed kindness, but Gao Yuan's casual actions that didn't seem to have any gold content moved him even more, because he was from Gao Yuan. In his eyes and demeanor, he couldn't feel any deliberation, it seemed that this was an extremely ordinary movement.

But it's such an extremely ordinary action, when someone like Gao Yuan does it naturally, it makes people fall in love with it even more.

Putting down the bowl, Niu Ben looked at Gao Yuan, "Captain, there has been a change in the Yuyang incident. The nail we buried in Zhao*zhong contacted us secretly. After I received the news, I sent someone to warn General Ye Zhen. On the one hand, I will personally report to the governor.”

Gao Yuan's heart trembled slightly, "What's wrong on the other side of Yuyang?"

"Zhou Changshou is ready to send troops. If Kongde receives the order from Jicheng to retreat, there is a great possibility that he will be caught off guard by Zhou Changshou. Zhou Changshou also wants Yuyang." Niu Ben said, "This It was completely unexpected in advance, and it completely disrupted the pre-war arrangement of the governor."

"Zhou Changshou? Interesting!" Gao Yuan walked around in the big tent a few times. Looking back, he looked at Shangguan Hong and Niu Ben. "I thought that Zhao Mu was dead. This Zhao Mu's dead hall would definitely be a man with his tail in his arms. I didn't expect him to have such big thoughts. It seems that this person is also unwilling to be lonely. A big official, to share the power vacuum left by Zhao Mu after his death?"

"It's very possible." Shangguan Hong nodded, "Zhao Mu's forces in Zhao*fang are intertwined. Although he controlled a part of the military power and joined hands with Jing Rufeng, his prestige could not be compared with Zhao Mu's. If Zhou Changshou really took Yuyang in this battle and made such a great achievement, he might indeed take advantage of Zhao Mu's remaining shadow. , becoming another member of the Zhao State who will stand against the above two people."

Gao Yuan turned around a few more times, looked at Shangguan Hong, and said with a smile: "That's it. Shangguan, didn't you say that there is no opportunity before, and you have to use the creation machine? This opportunity is here. Niu Ben , after you rest for a day, go directly to Hejian and tell Ye Zhen to make good use of this opportunity. Zhou Changshou goes to attack Kongde, and he can go to raid the whole city and gather all his troops. The ground is empty. Take it for me in one fell swoop, and copy Zhou Changshou's retreat. Hehe, think of a way to see if you can reveal to Kongde a little bit of Zhou Changshou's plan to raid Kongde at a critical point in time. , Kong De is not a good opponent, the two of them are fighting to the death, so let's make a profit and block Zhou Changshou's way back."

"Yes." Niu Ben replied, but his face was quite distressed, "Captain, this operation is extremely difficult!"

"Naturally, it's difficult." Gao Yuan didn't care, "But I believe that Ye Zhen can grasp this speed well. I want to pry Langya from Jicheng first, and then go to get Yuyang. You tell Ye Zhen What I mean is, let him plan the rest. He is a general in charge, so he should have this kind of courage, look at Zhou Changshou, this kind of courage is no small feat!"

Just when Tianhe County was in the dark, a large sea ship docked on a secret pier in Fenzhou, which is near the sea, was already ready to go.

This ship has just been launched, and this trip is to test the performance of the ship as an excuse, but the person who will be installed on this ship is not trivial. This person is the former Yan Guo Taiwei Zhou Yuan.

After returning to Fenzhou, Zhou Yuan stopped his flags and drums. It seemed that he completely regarded himself as a man of the mountains. He didn't care about court affairs or foreign affairs. It seems that he has completely surrendered, but this time, when the old man suddenly exerted his strength, Cao Tianci in Fenzhou discovered that this old guy seems to be not simple.

Cao Tianci once thought that it would be very difficult to secretly transport Zhou Yuan out of Fenzhou, but when it came to Zhou Yuan, it became a very easy task. When boarding this large ship and slowly sailing away from the pier, the Fenzhou officials still did not respond.

What Cao Tianci thought was the hardest thing turned out to be the easiest thing.

"I just left like this, and I don't know if I will be able to return to my hometown alive to have a look in this lifetime?" Sighing deeply, his eyes are full of nostalgia and reluctance.

"You will have a chance to come back soon." Cao Tianci on the side smiled and said: "Lieutenant Zhou, it's windy on the deck, you'd better go back to the cabin and rest!"

Zhou Yuan chuckled, "I have been a soldier all my life, how can this little wind do anything to me, you can rest assured of my body, even if I am going to die, I will finish this matter before I die. Yes, don’t call me Taiwei in the future, from now on, I’m already a traitor of Yan, if you think I’m getting old, call me Mister Zhou, I’ll be satisfied.” (To be continued ~IndoMTL.com~ If you like this work.
