When the Guanzhong army marched to Yancheng, Yancheng had been built into a fortified city by Yue Ming, which was comparable to the capital of a country in the Western Regions, which was daunting. However, since the Guanzhong army has been fighting for several years, it has seen countless fortified cities, and now it is just that the troops are not enough, so how can they withdraw their troops because of the solidity of Yancheng?

After learning that the Blazing Sky Army did not send troops to its Qiancheng alone, Long Jun was overjoyed, so he arranged for the Guanzhong Army to camp ten miles outside the city, build the city with ice and snow, and prepare to spend it here with Yue Ming, so as to win time for the Blazing Sky Army in Longyang, seize the subject countries around its Qiancheng, and isolate its Qiancheng and Qiuzi Kingdom.

On the second day, the soldiers of the capital protection of Yancheng saw that a city of ice and snow was suddenly built in the distance, and the whole army was full of fear, especially the people of the Western Regions who believed in the gods, and even regarded the Guanzhong army as an army sent by the gods. Fortunately, Yue Ming heard about Long Jun's deeds, so he ordered people to spread rumors in the army, saying that the Guanzhong Army was an army sent by the Night Demon, which was intended to take the people of the Western Regions to pay tribute to the Night Demon, and the royal families of the countries who died at the hands of the Guanzhong Army were examples. Hearing this rumor, the army of the Western Regions was really murderous, swearing to resist the invasion of the Guanzhong army to the death, and supported until the heavenly army came to help.

I have to say that the people of the Western Regions are ignorant, when Long Jun heard the news, he couldn't help but have a sense of ridicule, he didn't expect that he Guanzhong Army was actually called an evil demon by the other party. Fortunately, in dealing with this kind of person, Long Jun has more tricks, so Long Jun began to order people to make altars outside Yancheng, and the army on Yancheng was stunned, and the angry Yue Ming sent troops out to attack the altar army several times, until Zhao Yunzhen beheaded Yue Ming's generals, and Yancheng did not dare to send troops out to make trouble at will.

But to Long Jun's surprise, after that, the atmosphere in Yancheng changed suddenly, not only did he not send troops out of the city to attack the Guanzhong army, but even at some point, the soldiers at the head of Yancheng City applauded the Guanzhong army, making Long Jun's head mush. Seeing that this matter could no longer have an impact on the other party, in desperation, Long Jun had no choice but to give up this idea, ordered people to use local materials, and began to manufacture siege equipment to put pressure on the other party.

However, no matter how the Guanzhong army made siege equipment in front of the other party, Yancheng did not even have a reaction. Seeing this situation, Xun You couldn't help but worry that the other party would use a clever plan to hide the sky and cross the sea, and make a detour to attack Weili and other places through the Green Ridge River, so he informed Long Jun of the worries in his heart. Who knew that after hearing this, Long Jun said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, Gongda, Yue Ming is not a fool, if he sneaks up on Weili and other places at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving it to us?" If this matter was known to those remnants of the Western Regions, he Yue Ming would not want to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, and even his army would fall apart. ”

Xun You suddenly realized when he heard this, and then asked, "What does the lord mean that once Yue Ming captures Wei Li, it will be equivalent to proving to the world that he actually has the ability to stop our army, but because of selfishness, he allows our army to wreak havoc in the Western Regions?" ”

"That's pretty much it! Don't forget that he also has a group of soldiers summoned from the Western Regions, so in this matter he can only have an excuse to occupy the subject countries that are being ravaged by our army. On the contrary, if he dares to reveal his ambitions before this, then the remnants of the people, regardless of the subject country, will have hatred for him, even above our army. So as long as Yue Ming wasn't a fool, he wouldn't have exposed his ambitions so early. Speaking of this, Long Jun paused, glanced at Xun You meaningfully, and then nodded at Xun You with a wry smile.

Being seen through by Long Jun, Xun You smiled shyly, he didn't expect to slap the horse's hooves for the first time, it seems that compared with Guo Fengxiao, he is still a lot more tender. So Xun Yu smiled and explained, "Isn't it too boring to watch the lord, in addition to practicing martial arts or writing these days, the rest of the time is sitting there in a daze." ”

Hearing this, Long Jun rolled his eyes fiercely, saying that he was bored, and I was afraid that Xun Yu would be able to say this. After glancing at Xun Yu angrily, Long Jun explained softly, "I was in a daze, wondering why the defenders of Yancheng had changed. The reason why I can see what you say is because I thought about it a long time ago. But I do have a trace of worry in my heart, and I feel that the other party is not so simple. Yue Ming has been dominating the Western Regions for so long, it is impossible for him to be incompetent. But I don't know if you have noticed it, the emotions shown by the Yancheng army from beginning to end seem to be deliberately shown to us, especially after the loss of troops and generals, the morale of the army does not rise or fall, which is confusing to people. ”

Hearing the words 'can't touch his head', an idea suddenly flashed in Xun You's mind, which made him tremble like an ice cellar. Unlike before, this time he was really frightened, so Xun You turned his head and looked at Long Jun in a daze, and said word by word, "Lord, Yue Ming may really go for a sneak attack." ”

"Endless?" Glancing at Xun Yu helplessly, Long Jun turned around and walked back to the table, muttering boredom in his mouth. However, when he stood on the couch, Long Jun turned around abruptly and asked with a solemn expression, "You mean that his target is Long Yang?" ”

Seeing that Long Jun understood what he meant, Xun Yu nodded heavily, and then hurriedly ran to the edge of the map, pointed to the north of Qiancheng, and said in a condensed voice, "Previously, our army always thought that the other party and Wusun were hostile, but never thought that the two sides might have formed an alliance. Previously, Meng Qi had a joke about why Yue Ming didn't throw all the sand bandits and horse thieves to Wusun, who had been fighting against the Duhufu, but instead scattered around the Western Regions to plunder the caravans. It wasn't until now that his subordinates understood why Yue Ming didn't do this. ”

"It's worthy of an old fox, Song Yi's death is probably also the same as Wusun and Duhufu!" At first, Tianwang learned from the people of the Western Regions that there were rumors that Song Yi died at the hands of Wusun, and at first Long Jun thought that Song Yi wanted to leave a constraint for Yue Ming to prevent Yue Ming from expelling his descendants after Song Yi's death, so he was releasing this rumor. Unexpectedly, Song Yi wanted to use this rumor to hide the relationship between the two, so that the soldiers of Wusun could be used as a strange soldier in the Western Regions.

"I'm afraid that Song Yi should have this ambition after the Qiang rebellion, firstly, to prevent the imperial court from recovering the Western Regions, and secondly, to deal with the Xianbei and other tribes who are eyeing the Western Regions. After all, no one would have thought that the two sides who were hostile to each other would be allies, but we didn't expect that this back hand would be left to us in the end. ”

After Xun You finished speaking, Long Jun had already walked to the vicinity of Yutu, staring at the vicinity of Yu Ninghe on Yutu, thinking about the location of the other party's ambush on Long Yang, and how he should solve this matter. After being silent for a long time, Long Jun narrowed his eyes, pointed to the vicinity of Yu Ninghe, and said hatefully, "There is no other way, we can only forcibly get rid of the army left behind in Yancheng and rush to the aid of Yu Ninghe, otherwise the Blazing Sky Army is very likely to face more than ten times the strength of the other party." ”

In fact, the two people present knew that once they forcibly rushed to Yuliaohe, then it would be absolutely impossible for the Yancheng army to let go of the Guanzhong army easily, and they would definitely bite the tail of the Guanzhong army, and then the Guanzhong army would fall into the encirclement of the Western Regions coalition army. But if you don't rescue the Blazing Sky Army, don't say whether Long Yang will die in Liaohe, after the other party finishes cleaning up the Blazing Sky Army, how will the more than 10,000 Guanzhong Army deal with the opponent's counterattack?

"This is a conspiracy, no wonder Yue Ming has always allowed the second prince to wreak havoc in the southwest and strictly guard against our department, it seems that he is planning for today, and wants to use our hands to sort out the Western Regions and become a country of its own."

Is it a conspiracy? Indeed, Yue Ming's plan was not bad, it happened to hit Long Jun's seven inches, and it was impossible for Long Jun to let the other party encircle and suppress the Blazing Sky Army. Even if this plan is successful, he can easily pocket the results of the Guanzhong Army, and as long as it is rumored afterwards that he has sent troops to support the mountain country, how can the remnants of the people of the countries not miss him?

With a sigh of relief, Long Jun forced himself to calm down, and then said calmly, "Regardless of whether he is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, now we must find a way to send a message to Long Yang and let him temporarily avoid the enemy's edge." In addition, we also have to find a way to evade Yancheng's surveillance and support the Blazing Sky Army, or take Yancheng within two days, approach it Qiancheng, and force Yue Ming to return to defense. Otherwise, we will have only one way to retreat from the west. ”

Hearing this, Xun You's face was embarrassed, how difficult it was to take Yancheng in two days, let alone withdraw from the army. The Guanzhong Army's westward expedition, although the grain and grass were not used much, did not cause any trouble to Chang'an, but since the westward expedition, the losses of the Blazing Sky army can be said to be a great injury, especially the loss of more than half of the Dragon Tiger Wei in the battle of Juyanze, if this does not give an explanation to Guanzhong, I am afraid that the morale of the Guanzhong army will drop to a point where it is difficult to study in the next two years. And after the failure of this Western Expedition, if Guanzhong is sending troops to the Western Regions, the price may be even higher than this time.

Just when the two were worried about this, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao Lianjue arrived. Without waiting for Long Jun to ask what was going on, Ma Chao said with a happy face, "Master is overjoyed, just now the messenger came to report that Uncle Xiao has recovered his essence, and he is rushing across the desert to Yancheng at this time!" ”

"Exquisite?" Hearing the name of this subject country, Long Jun and Xun You's eyes lit up, and then laughed wildly, wishing to think that Long Yang would go north along the Yuliao River after solving the detention of Mi, but he didn't expect Long Yang to go the opposite way and directly enter the vast desert, completely disrupting Yue Ming's deployment, but at the same time, it also gave Yancheng's Guanzhong army a chance to win.

Speaking from the heart, this is also the instruction left by Long Jun when he trained the Blazing Sky Army, all battlefields are training places, otherwise how would ordinary troops dare to cross such a dead place as the desert. So Long Jun crossed his fists and palms, and said with great joy, "Since this is the case, then our army will go all out to meet the defenders of Yancheng and strive to take this city within seven days." ”

"Whoa."
