Chapter 97: Something Suspicious

See the fastest updates

If the army of the hundred warring states wanted to advance westward, the first stop was Ernst & Young City, so almost all the residents in the city fled with their belongings, leaving only a city defense force of more than 5,000 people, who were in panic all day long.

Therefore, as soon as the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived, the city lord Yuan Zijin got the news and lined up at the city gate early in the morning to welcome him. When they saw the arrival of the army, they cheered one by one, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

With an army of 800,000, it will be extremely difficult for the hundred warring states to break through Evergreen City. Moreover, after the arrival of the army, all the defense and command rights were handed over to the army, and they, the city guards and city lords, were not responsible.

When the army arrived at Ernst & Young, they were all in high spirits and smiling.

This suddenly made Yuan Zijin feel very strange, ordinary soldiers are about to go to the battlefield, they are all sad, why are these soldiers still smiling so happily?

He secretly thought that the Central Army was really extraordinary, at least its appearance was completely different from other armies.

Chen Dasheng was also in a happier mood, and he made a fortune all the way, but there was no student army in these cities in the back, and the officers and soldiers in the back were addicted to getting rich, so it didn't matter whether it belonged to the city of the prince's power, he would go in and make a fortune when he saw the city. However, the discipline is still very strict, and he will only find the city lord's mansion, and leave when he gets rich, and he will never harass the ordinary people.

After showing the order to transfer troops, Yuan Zijin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone, please follow me into the city." ”

Fortunately, the people in the city have long since fled and become an empty city, although it cannot accommodate an army of 800,000, but it is no problem to live in 450,000 people. The rest were all camped outside the city.

Chen Dasheng and other generals directly stayed in the city lord's mansion, and before they could settle down, they gathered all the generals and Yuan Zijin to start analyzing the current situation.

Li Yunxiao also appeared in front of everyone accompanied by Jia Rong and Ji Meng, this was the first time he walked out of the chariot tent after being injured, although he didn't look alive, but he also had a ruddy complexion, and it seemed that all his injuries were healed.

Chen Dasheng's eyelids jumped suddenly, and their hearts were shocked again, "Nine-Star Warrior!"

But when he thought of the man behind him, he came back to his senses one by one. With such a strong master, it is not surprising that the promotion is so fast.

"Yunxiao, how are you?"

The first one to stand up and ask was Luo Yunsheng, her face was full of concern, "If you haven't replied yet, continue to breathe, you can't help here anyway." ”

Xiao Qingwang and the others all had strange eyes and smiled silently.

Li Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "As the chief of logistics and the commander of the student army, how can I not come to the meeting." It's not cured yet, but it's almost better. ”

Luo Yunshang patted him on the shoulder cordially, and said softly: "Don't work too hard, your body is important." ”

Her idea is very simple, since Li Yunxiao is the disciple of that adult, then when the adult is not there, she must do her best to protect and care for him.

But when he heard it in Li Yunxiao's ears, he was covered in a cold sweat and a little overwhelmed. He looked at Luo Yunshang in horror and thought, "Could it be that she knows my identity?"

Chen Dasheng and the others covered their mouths and snickered, and he shouted: "Yunxiao, come and have a look together." ”

Li Yunxiao was relieved, hurriedly ran over, and sat down beside Chen Dasheng.

Yuan Zijin was slightly surprised, such a young man was also a general, but he knew that many powerful people in the Dao Dynasty liked to send their children to the army to gild. I don't have to do anything, it's purely for tourism, and I'll be added to the knighthood when I go back, so I don't think it's strange.

At Chen Dasheng's signal, he began to describe the current situation.

"The army of the Hundred Warring States has besieged Kunjin City for a total of twenty-seven days, and there is no news from it. Although the army has not yet advanced westward, there are still three small towns in front of Ernst & Young, but they have been occupied by the army of the Hundred Kingdoms. I'm afraid that as soon as the trapped Jincheng falls, it will immediately come to Anyong City. ”

"The three towns are Fengshan Town, Feifeng Town and Yangsan Town, and I have sent people to investigate the deployment of troops in each town, which is about 20,000 people. Since it was impossible to break through these three towns, the news ahead was completely unknown. The exact number of people in the Hundred Warring States is still unknown. But according to my estimates, it should be in the amount of 800,000. ”

When everyone heard this, they all began to ponder.

Chen Dasheng muttered: "The siege has not been taken for more than a month, but they are still holding on, it seems that they plan to directly force the city until the food is exhausted." But there is one biggest suspicion here, and it has been half a month since our army set off. They should have been informed and have taken countermeasures, but at the moment there has been no action. In other words, they are not afraid of our army pressing down, and even the inside and outside should join forces to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

Han Qianfang said: "Yes, this is completely unreasonable. If I am an enemy general with only 800,000 troops, after the opponent's army goes out, I will either forcibly attack the city and strive to break the city as soon as possible. Either go directly to the west and occupy favorable terrain. There is also a situation where it is directly returned to the Hyakwargoku. At present, I don't see any, but just stand still. It's really weird!"

Chen Dasheng's heart moved, and he called him by name: "Huang Hong, tell me your opinion." ”

Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on him, Huang Hong was slightly nervous, after all, his identity was still in a relatively embarrassing position, but he quickly recovered, and thought deeply: "I also secretly paid attention to it when the army of the Hundred Warring States passed through Baitou Town, it was indeed around 800,000, and it should not exceed 1 million. After the Golden Lion Legion retreated, it is not clear whether they sent any more troops. But when our troops withdrew, they did not occupy the town of Paekdu, but only really borrowed the road. So I don't expect that there will be any reinforcements in the future, and the number of people currently surrounding Kunjin City should be 800,000!"

Chen Dasheng nodded with satisfaction, this Huang Hong does have some brains. He wondered: "If it is really 800,000 troops, what is their purpose? Could it really be to lure us out and cooperate with the eldest prince in the capital?"

Xiao Qingwang said: "If it was a month ago, there might have been this possibility, but now Qin Yang's power has basically collapsed, even if the country makes any big moves, it will not be able to recover." So this argument doesn't hold water. ”

"It's really puzzling, it seems that someone must be sent to break through the blockade of the three small towns and send someone in to understand the situation. ”

Chen Dasheng's gaze wandered around everyone, and suddenly his heart moved, "Yunxiao, do you have any opinions?" For this junior, he no longer dared to have the slightest contempt.

Li Yunxiao smiled slightly: "I really don't understand marching and fighting, but I just think it's strange." The three points that Uncle Han said just now are either to attack, or to advance westward, or to retreat, why can't you just wait for the rabbit to wait for us, and when we come, we will be wiped out together?"

All the generals showed strange looks, and some even had to hide their sneering expressions. Chen Dasheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You really don't understand, our army is pressed in, not to mention that they have the absolute upper hand in numbers, even if they are weak, under the attack from both sides, they are difficult to fly." Unless there are several times the strength of our army, we dare to wait for the rabbit. ”

Li Yunxiao frowned, and said coldly: "The marshal is thinking about the number of troops, but not the quality? What if they are 800,000 warriors?"

"800,000 warriors, you can figure it out!" Han Qianfang said with a smile: "Your 2,000 student army is already an outlier. ”

Xiao Qingwang's expression moved, and he spoke: "Yun Shao just said that high-end martial artists should be taken into account. ”

Li Yunxiao glanced at King Xiao Qingwang and chuckled, "Exactly." An army of 800,000 is an extremely powerful existence in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of warriors, such a soldier can defeat 100,000 with the personal strength of King Xiao Qing. If there is a Martial Sect of the Liuhe Realm on the other side, then one person can kill a million troops. ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, although they all believed that it was impossible for the other party to have a strong Martial Sect, but if there were more Martial King Martial Monarchs, it would be extremely troublesome.

Li Yunxiao smiled: "I'm just analyzing a situation, and it's actually unlikely." If this was the case, then Kunjin City would have been broken long ago. In fact, I think there is only one possibility, that is, the purpose of the army of the hundred warring states is not to siege the city or occupy the territory. ”

Chen Dasheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Yunxiao's words are reasonable! If the Hundred Warring States dispatched such a huge military force, if they didn't want to conquer the city, then what was their intention? The most important thing at the moment is to understand their purpose! Ding Baike?"

A general hurriedly stepped out and said, "The last general!"

Chen Dasheng ordered with a grim gaze: "I order you to select three hundred elite soldiers, and quickly go to investigate all kinds of information of the hundred warring countries, and you must not let go of the slightest, and report back immediately if you have any news!"

"Yes!" Ding Bai immediately ordered to retreat.

Chen Dasheng ordered: "Yuan Zijin, you lead all the city guards to be responsible for the army's diet, daily life, and logistics. The rest of the people went back to wait for the order, waiting for Ding Bai to find out that he was planning. ”

After the adventurous meeting was dismissed, each of them looked for a place to press down. Anyway, the city is empty, and whoever occupies it will belong to whomever it is. Li Yunxiao had already sent Ji Meng to occupy the courtyard of a large household, which was enough for a few of them to live.

After returning to the small courtyard, Li Yunxiao only felt uncomfortable, turned around and said, "Teacher Luo, I've already arrived, no need to send it, you can go back." ”

Luo Yunshang looked down at the small courtyard, stroked her hair, and said indifferently: "I haven't found a place to settle yet, you guys are big enough, I'll live here." ”

"Huh?" Li Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, "This is not good, it is already full, not enough ......"

Mengwu happened to come out, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she immediately said happily: "It's okay Yun Shao, just let Teacher Luo live with me, it just so happens that the bed in my room is very big." ”

Li Yunxiao glared at her fiercely, and said angrily: "Your bed is big, isn't it? Why don't I come and squeeze with you?"
