Chapter 153: Darkness Chen Cang

After the combined forces, Yi's army was not in a hurry to attack in the direction of Changzhou to the east, but expanded horizontally to the south.

In this way, it can shorten the distance with Jiang Lin's 500,000 army, keep it away from the capital, and even if it is found that the capital is trapped, it will not be able to return to the division.

In the process of expanding southward, Wan Shufang secretly pulled an army towards the Jedi, and made a detour from the periphery of the Jedi to Changzhou City.

After the agreement, everything was arranged by Wan Shufang, Yi Jiuxiao took his leave, and he wanted to return to Changzhou City to monitor the movements of Jiang Guo's army.

It also took eight days for Yi Jiuxiao to fly outside Changzhou City, but he was not in a hurry to enter the city.

It's okay to go into the city now, so it's better to scout outside the city, maybe you will gain something.

Sure enough, after Yi Jiuxiao took a turn outside the city, he really made a discovery.

He found an army of about 10,000 men stationed in the east and north of the city.

It seems that within this month, the troops of the state city adjacent to Changzhou City have already arrived in advance.

According to what the scholar Huang Xun said, the state cities should draw a total of 400,000 troops, which should be too early.

So Yi Jiuxiao stayed in a market town on the eastern outskirts of the city, and he judged that the eastern suburbs would have the most troops.

It is better to live in the suburbs than in the city, and it is very convenient to practice various martial arts, especially archery, and there are places in the suburbs.

And in the small inn in the city, you can only practice the exercises on the Open Heaven Scripture every day, and the movement is not too big.

Time flies very quickly in cultivation, Yi Jiuxiao has been living in the suburbs for a month, and he checks the military situation every day.

During this month, the army in the eastern suburbs of Changzhou increased by 20,000 men, and the northern and southern suburbs by 10,000 each.

In the council hall of the palace, Princess Jiang Lin was furious, and Dazai and the military department Shangshu, who were standing below, did not dare to speak.

Two months had passed since the military headquarters issued the order, and only 70,000 troops had arrived outside the city, which was still far from the 45th army.

Recently, Jiang Lin was anxious, she wanted to lead the troops to set off one day earlier, go to fight Wan Shumad, and defeat him.

There is news from the front that two state cities have been lost, because the news is delayed, and now there must be more than this number.

"What's the use of all of you? From today onwards, you will all leave Beijing for me, go to the states to urge the soldiers and horses, and give you another month, if you can't urge 400,000 people, you don't have to come back. ”

A huge coercion emanated from Jiang Lin's body, this was the coercion of the Yuanying Realm, how powerful.

Dazai Pang Jing and Bingbu Shangshu Xiangyuan did not dare to resist at all, and in fact it was difficult to resist, so they quickly fell to their knees.

The emperor Jiang Yu sitting above couldn't stand it, but there was no way to take his sister Jiang Lin.

"Pang Jing, Lu Xiangyuan, you two go down, go to the rest of Shangshu and Shilang, you Jindan masters have to go out of Beijing to urge the troops in various state cities, you can't sit and wait, those state cities may not know the priority, so they delayed, go down." ”

The two of them hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, and almost crawled and fled, not daring to stay in the temple for a moment longer.

After leaving the palace, Pang Jing and the others hurriedly went to find other Shangshu and squires, and then escaped from Changzhou City together to urge the army.

The two of them agreed to wait until they got the news that Princess Jiang Lin had left Beijing before returning to the court, and the emperor didn't ask them when they would come back anyway.

They all know the princess's temper, and if they get angry, they may be beaten to death, and if they die, they will die in vain.

There were only two brothers and sisters left in the hall, and Jiang Yu saw that her sister was still angry, so she smiled bitterly.

"Sister, in a month, if the soldiers and horses outside are not ready, I will give you 80,000 forbidden troops, and Changzhou will leave 20,000. ”

There are a total of 100,000 forbidden troops in Changzhou City, because Jiang is strong, and the rest of the countries only have 80,000 forbidden troops at most.

Originally, Jiang Yu was going to give Jiang Lin 50,000 forbidden troops, but now it is difficult for the outside soldiers and horses to gather for a while, so she can only promise to give her 80,000.

In fact, in his heart, he didn't have much hope for Jiang Lin's troops, he just did his best and obeyed the destiny of heaven.

"Then thank you brother, I still like the forbidden army, if you can give it to me, it's the best. ”

Jiang Lin's face finally showed a smile, she was in the royal family, of course she knew that the combat power of the forbidden army was much stronger than that of the defenders of the state city.

"Eighty thousand is the most, otherwise Changzhou City will become an empty city. Emperor Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly.

In the month that followed, there was a steady stream of troops from all over the country, more than in the previous two months combined.

I don't know if it was the credit of Dazai Pang Yasui and the Shangshu and the squire urging him, or he arrived on his own.

In the eastern suburbs of the city alone, there were 140,000 troops, in the southern suburbs of the city there were 50,000, and in the northern suburbs of the city there were 60,000.

The cumulative garrison in the three directions has reached 250,000 people, and the number of Jindan generals has also reached more than 200.

Yi Jiuxiao thought it was still early, there were still 200,000 people left before the scheduled forty-five people, and it would be at least a month before they arrived.

A few days later, the armies to the south, north, and east of Changzhou City began to move and converge to the west of the city.

As soon as he saw the army start to move, Yi Jiuxiao wondered a little, could it be that he had acted in advance?

How did he know that Princess Jiang Lin was impatient, and she was about to set off after seeing the twenty-fifth army outside the city.

Jiang Huang Jiang Yu could only keep his promise and gave Jiang Lin 80,000 forbidden troops, and after the armies on all three sides gathered, the forbidden army also left the city.

Yi Jiuxiao, who was hiding in the western suburbs of the city, had already guessed the result as soon as he saw 80,000 forbidden troops coming out of the city.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, the fewer forbidden troops in the city, the better, and the less difficult it would be to attack Wan Shumad in the future.

Jiang Lin's willfulness helped Yi Jiuxiao and Wan Shumad in disguise, making Jiang Guo closer and faster to the road to the destruction of the country.

Eighty thousand Jiang State's royal forbidden army, 250,000 miscellaneous troops from various state cities, and thirty Jindan masters, under the leadership of Jiang Lin, drove south and rushed to Lezhou City, which was occupied by Yi State.

In the past two or three months, the Yi army has been led by Li Rui.

Even in Yi Guojun, no one knows the true whereabouts of Wan Shufang, let alone Jiang Guo.

In order to keep it secret, Li Rui told the generals that Wan Shumad was in retreat and broke through the realm, and it would take half a year to make a comeback.

During this period, Li Rui did not advance to the west, but laid a state city in the north and south directions of Lezhou City.

After conquering, 20,000 city defenders were left in each of these two state cities, and the rest of the people and horses gathered in Lezhou City and stopped.

Li Rui also had a few expeditions in the capital, and the news that Jiang Lin led the army out of the city was quickly received by him.

There is a distance of 20,000 miles from Changzhou City to Lezhou City, and Jiang Lin's army will take three months to arrive at the earliest, so Li Rui is not in a hurry.

At this time, the 100,000-strong army led by Wan Shumad was marching to the south of Jiang State, within 500 miles from the Jedi.

This place is deserted and inhabited, and it is not clear what it is to meet the explorers by chance, because Wan Shufang replaced some of the sergeant's equipment with Jiang Guo's.

The military uniform was found from Lezhou City, and it was originally from the defenders of Lezhou City, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Wan Shufang has been walking for more than two months, and he is traveling all the way, with all his might.

There was no baggage in the team, and all the grain and grass were packed in two thousand rings, which were accumulated over many years.

Even so, it was not very fast, and since the team had made a detour of nearly 20,000 miles, the road around the Jedi was not easy to walk.

In addition, there are many mortal soldiers among them who need to rest, so the team is still 18,000 miles away from Changzhou City.

After Jiang Lin led the army to leave Changzhou City, Yi Jiuxiao also left, not to track Jiang Lin, but to find Wan Shumad.

Because he speculated that the army led by Wan Shufang was walking around the Jedi, he must not have known the news that Jiang Lin had left Beijing.

At first, Yi Jiuxiao flew south from Changzhou City, and after reaching the vicinity of the Jedi, he flew west along the Jedi.

Finally, six days later, he found Wan Shufang's army, which was 16,000 miles away from the city of Changzhou.

Yi Jiuxiao informed Wan Shufang of Jiang Lin's rest when he left Changzhou City, and Wan Shufang calculated the distance and time, which was also just right.

After explaining clearly, Yi Jiuxiao returned to Changzhou City, and he needed to monitor the movements of Changzhou City.

When he returned to the outside of Changzhou, he found that there were more troops stationed outside the city, but they were soon moving westward.

It is estimated that it was sent by the state cities, but when it was too late, he could only chase Jiang Lin's army behind.

Because Wan Shufang was still far away from Changzhou City, Yi Jiuxiao went to the city first, and he wanted to see the garrison in the city.

He quietly approached the perimeter of the forbidden army camp and swept it with his divine thoughts, and there were indeed more than 20,000 forbidden soldiers left in the camp.

Originally, those troops who arrived later could enter the city to replenish their strength, but Jiang Yu didn't like these miscellaneous troops, or thought that there was no need to worry about the city, so they let them chase Jiang Lin for reinforcements.

The news of Dazai's departure with various departments and squires was also hit by Yi Jiuxiao's detectives, because the matter spread in the city.

Yi Jiuxiao let out a long sigh, it seems that the sky is destroying Jiang Guo, everything is so coincidental.

At the mortal inn in the city, he lingered for more than ten days, and when the news was almost over, he left the city.

There was a reason for rushing out of the city, he was afraid that Jiang Guo would find out the traces of Wan Shu's crazy army, and once the city gate was closed, he would not be able to get out.

He had to be outside the city, and without his help, with the fortification of Changzhou City, the cost of breaking through was very high.

This time, he went out of the city from the south gate and lived in the southern suburbs, because Wan Shufang's army came from the south and could meet just in time.

After staying outside the city for about ten days, and seeing that there was no movement outside the city, and no army was coming, he flew south.

Eight thousand miles away from the city of Changzhou, he found the army of Wan Shufang, who had left the periphery of the desperate situation and marched towards the city of Changzhou.

After falling, he met with Wan Shumad and asked about the military situation, but he was not disturbed during the march.

The key is that some of the people in the Wanshu Crazy Army have changed into Jiang Guo's clothes, and they are also playing Jiang Guo's flag.

It is also difficult to find out any differences in the states and counties along the way, and even if some people are suspicious, they don't dare to ask more, they all pretend not to know.

After passing the Jedi, there is the post road, and the marching speed is much faster, and it is estimated that it will be more than 20 days to reach Changzhou City.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Yi Jiuxiao also put his mind at ease, and flew back to the southern suburbs of Changzhou City again.
