On horseback, Meng Kuo paid attention to Ju Wentai's eyes and looked embarrassed.
He didn't expect that there was really no Vietnamese army stationed in the city in front of him.
He was cautious before, for fear that he would march rashly and enter the city and be ambushed by the Vietnamese army.
In embarrassment, Lin Feng called softly: "General Ju, take the remaining cavalry to the south gate and go straight to the palace!"
Hearing this, Ju Wentai withdrew his gaze from Meng Kuo and said: "Your Majesty, the last general suggests that you wait for a while, otherwise the last general will leave with the iron horse, and the emperor and General Meng will lose protection, if the Vietnamese army has conspiracy and tricks, the emperor is in danger!"
This trip only brought 10,000 iron cavalry, Feng Yi has already led half of the iron cavalry to leave, if he leads half of the iron cavalry to leave, Ju Wentai is afraid that there will be Vietnamese troops nearby.
Even if there is no ambush of the Vietnamese army, if dozens of scattered Vietnamese troops appear, or scattered civilians appear, they may threaten Lin Feng and Meng Kuo.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng's expression was firm, and he secretly grabbed the horse chopping knife, the blade was unsheathed, and he commanded sharply: "General Ju, do as I instruct, don't care about my safety."
"Your Majesty!"
If Ju Wentai disobeyed, he was really worried about Lin Feng's safety.
"General Ju, you can lead the troops to the city with peace of mind, the emperor is safe, and there is someone to protect you!" Meng Kuo reminded, not to mention that it is impossible to have no crisis, even if there is a crisis, wouldn't the iron cavalry who went to the city quickly get out of the city and rescue the emperor?
"Okay, General Meng, you have to protect the emperor!" Ju Wentai bowed his head, did not ramble any more, and led the cavalry to move forward quickly, heading towards the imperial city.
The south gate was controlled, and Ju Wentai led the cavalry to charge and kill and enter the city without much effort.
Except for the panic of the people, Ju Wentai led the troops in the city without encountering any obstacles.
At dusk, a large number of Yan troops broke into the city, attacking and defending all parts of the city, and there were also iron horsemen who stayed outside the city and set up camp.
Lin Feng, Cao Aman, and Luo Da broke into the palace with blade warriors and completely controlled the palace.
After a blade caught the chamberlain and palace maid who had no time to escape, Lin Feng personally interrogated him, and learned that Han Rongguang, Qin Yue, Qin Qiong, Han Shankui and others had indeed evacuated overnight.
Seeing the cooked duck flying away from his eyes, Lin Feng was depressed in his heart, but he was helpless.
When he came with his troops, he was already a cavalryman.
Zhu didn't have time to rest in the future, so they went to the palace one after another, hoping to discuss the next military affairs with Lin Feng.
In the imperial study, Lin Feng was not in the mood to appreciate the prosperity of the palace, so he discussed the next decision with the generals.
"Your Majesty, the last general has inquired in detail, when Han Rongguang fled last night, he took away the silver and grain stored in the treasury to protect the members of the royal family of the Yue Kingdom on the march. The spies reported that the Vietnamese army had only more than 20,000 men, escorting a lot of money and food to protect the royal family, and the team was bloated, and the march was bound to be slow. On the left side of the study, Feng Yi strode out of the queue and suggested to Lin Feng.
The Vietnamese army is mostly infantry, and protects money and food, the members of the royal family march, as long as the opponent's marching route is determined, the difference between the two armies is one day, Feng Yi believes that it will take one day to easily catch up with the Vietnamese army.
"Your Majesty, General Feng's proposal is right, Han Rongguang abandoned the city and fled, he will definitely lead the army to Huangyu Mountain to join the main force under Han Yanxi's account, and the cavalry will chase wildly along the way, and they will definitely be able to easily catch up with the other party, seize Han Rongguang and get money and food, and capture the members of the royal family of Yue Kingdom!" Ju Wentai suggested that he very much agreed with Feng Yi's idea of traveling long distances to pursue the Vietnamese army.
If he captures the members of the royal family of the Yue Kingdom and seizes the wealth of the Yue Kingdom, even if Han Yanxi leads the Yue army to garrison Huangyu Mountain and deploy defenses in the vast waters, it will be a grasshopper after the autumn, and it will not be able to jump for a few days.
On the other hand, the Yan army, which obtained a large amount of money and food, made sufficient preparations for the conquest of Wu.
Meng Kuo didn't say anything, but looking at his expression, he didn't want the Yue royal family to slip away under the nose of Yan Jun.
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate, time is running out, there is a good opportunity to take measures, you have to find an opportunity to annihilate the Vietnamese army, the difficulty is doubled." Feng Shihu urged.
In the dragon chair, Lin Feng waved his arm, swept all the Chinese books of the dragon case on the ground, grabbed the huge map next to him, examined it in detail for a moment, and said loudly: "From the imperial city to Huangyu Mountain, it takes a day and night for the cavalry to travel quickly, last night the Vietnamese army withdrew, almost a day and night ago, according to the speed of the infantry march, it is definitely not yet reached Huangyu Mountain, but from now on, the cavalry pursues, almost catching up with the Vietnamese army under Han Rongguang's tent near Huangyu Mountain.
In addition, Han Yanxi blocked the road to Huangyu Mountain, and Han Rongguang may have a dead end in front of him!"
After that, Lin Feng dragged his chin and said with a smile: "Feng Shihu, Feng Yi, you take 100,000 iron horsemen, set off tonight, if you can completely annihilate the Yue army, capture Han Rongguang, Qin Yue and other generals, and the royal family of Yue Kingdom, get the money and food of Yue Kingdom, and reward 20% of the levy army for this expenditure!"
"This...."
"Your Majesty...."
"Feng Shihu, Feng Yi, is there anything wrong?" Seeing the second general hesitate, Lin Feng asked.
Feng Shihu strode out and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong, is the reward a little too much?"
"Yes, the treasury of the Yue State is 20% gold and silver, and it may be as much as a million, or even a million." Feng Yi was a little anxious and said to Lin Feng.
In the dragon chair, Lin Feng was not stingy at all, and said loudly: "The iron cavalry pursues the Vietnamese army, it needs to continue to march urgently, meet the Vietnamese army, and must fight non-stop, you should know how difficult it is.
If the iron cavalry is delayed, let Han Rongguang lead the army to slip away, no matter how much grain the Yue national treasury has, it will be dishonorable with us, so what if we seize the money and grain of the Yue country and reward the iron cavalry with some money and grain!"
Hearing this, Feng Shihu, Feng Yi suddenly realized, stared at Lin Feng and bowed slightly, Feng Shihu said: "The emperor can rest assured, the last general will lead the iron cavalry, and will never let the Vietnamese army escape."
"That's right, the last general promised the emperor that he would definitely capture Han Rongguang and the others alive and recapture the money and grain of the Yue Kingdom!" Feng Yi bowed to Lin Feng and said, his expression was unquestionable.
Lin Feng waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to march quickly, not to delay time.
Feng Yi, Feng Shihu turned around and strode away, Lin Feng turned to Meng Kuo and said: "General Meng, lead the mechanical army to defend the city to the death, General Ju, in the name of me, send an order to the merchants of the vassal states, no matter who they are, they must not contact Han Yanxi, if anyone dares to sell food and weapons to Han Yanxi privately, they will be punished as the crime of collaborating with the enemy."
"Yes!" Meng Kuo, Ju Wentai bowed and said.
Han Yanxi led the main force to hide in the area from Huangyu Mountain to Osprey Crossing, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese troops consumed a lot of grain and grass every day, and could not get enough food and grass to replenish, in the long run, the Vietnamese army would inevitably be in a situation of lack of food and clothing, and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese troops would eventually fail to attack.
Feng Shihu, Feng Yi hurriedly left the palace and arrived at the barracks, Feng Yiduan sat on horseback and said to the guards beside him: "Beat the drums, assemble, there will be a general to convey."
"Yes!"
Feng Yi and Feng Shihu glanced at each other, and Feng Yi reminded: "General Feng, the emperor is bound to get money and grain from the Yue Kingdom, and a certain suggestion does not need to lead 100,000 iron cavalry, 50,000 iron cavalry is enough. Bring the rest of the cavalry with you, one man and two horses, so that the pursuit is faster."
"General Feng, your suggestion is good, but the emperor ordered 100,000 iron horsemen to go out on the expedition, starting from the imperial city, heading to Huangyu Mountain, we have never stepped into this area, will there be a Vietnamese army left behind, it is difficult to predict, the emperor rewards the whole army, for the royal family of the Yue country, the treasury money and grain are bound to be obtained, we must not have an accident." Although Feng Yi's suggestion was good, Feng Shihu did not accept it.
The army is about to set foot in an unknown area, whether there will be danger, whether it will be ambushed by the Vietnamese army, all this is unpredictable!
"That's right, the emperor is far-sighted and more far-sighted than us!" Feng Yi bowed his head and didn't say much.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In the midst of the chaos, the deafening snare drum sounded not far away.
The soldiers, who had just eaten dinner and had no time to rest, suddenly heard the sound of rapid military drums, and the iron cavalry quickly assembled from all directions.
After about half a pillar of incense, after the iron cavalry was concentrated, Feng Shihu nodded to Feng Yi and said, "Old General Feng, you come to convey the emperor's order!"
Feng Yi bowed his head, the prancing horse rushed to the front of the cavalry, sat on the back of the horse and swept the iron cavalry in front of him with cold eyes, and shouted: "In recent days, the army has been marching continuously and rapidly, and annihilated 60,000 Vietnamese troops.
Tonight, I will summon everyone temporarily, because there are 100,000 urgent matters."
Hearing this, the cavalry that had just assembled whispered to each other and muttered in a low voice, not knowing what had happened.
Feng Yi raised his hand to signal the iron cavalry to be quiet, and said loudly: "Today, we came to the Imperial City of Yue Kingdom and occupied the Imperial City, but we were fled by the royal family of Yue Kingdom with Yue money and grain.
Remember, the Vietnamese army led millions of taels of silver and grain to flee, and the emperor remembered that everyone marched and fought for two days, and the hard work was high, so he announced that if the Vietnamese army was chased and killed, the prince of Yue was captured alive, and the other party's money and grain were seized, and the millions of taels of gold and silver, of which 20% were rewarded to the iron cavalry who went out tonight.
The general has roughly estimated that if the money and grain of the Yue Kingdom are recaptured, each iron rider participating in the battle will receive at least ten taels of silver, or even more."
"General, does the emperor really reward so much?" In front of the army, there was a Zhonglang general who couldn't help but ask Feng Yi.
In the battle, the Yan army had a lot of generals, but they had never promised so many rewards as they did tonight.
Not only was the Zhonglang General in front of him puzzled and didn't believe Feng Yi's words, but many iron horsemen behind him also muttered continuously, doubting Feng Yi's words.
Millions of silver are by no means a small amount, and it is too surprising and surprising to be rewarded to the generals at once.
Feng Yi raised his head and glanced at the Zhonglang General in front of him, and said, "You don't have much time to follow Ben Jiang, when will Ben expect you to pass. What's more, the emperor has always been true to his word, a million taels of silver are only, if he can't catch up with Han Rongguang, he can't kill 20,000 Vietnamese troops, and it's also a bamboo basket."
"General, the last general believes in the general!"
"The general gives the order, there are no enemy troops that we can't catch up with."
"That's right, general, don't delay, can you catch up with the Vietnamese army, if you don't try, how can you know?
After Feng Yi assured the iron cavalry in front of him, all the iron cavalry soldiers dispelled their worries, and one by one they were full of fighting spirit, eager to immediately jump out of their horses and chase in the direction of the Vietnamese army.
Seeing the ignition of the battle intent of the iron cavalry in front of him, Feng Yi pulled out his horse chopping knife and shouted: "Go out!"
