Chapter 53: The Demon King

The army is not fast or slow all the way, Tiannan County has no military strength now, and Cai Guo's army is in Tianjingjun, so he is not worried about being raided by the enemy. There was nothing to do along the way, just the matter of training the Tiannan Army, this is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and the commanders of the Xiong Jun faction in the past were busy with this matter day and night.

After two days of marching, the army arrived at Rongcheng.

The city was guarded by 500 troops, and the city lord did not flee, and greeted him very politely after the arrival of the army.

The city lord was very polite, but Li Yunyi was not polite, like a mountain bandit crossing the border, the military rations in the city and the grain hoarded by the rich families were all loaded and taken away, and the five hundred soldiers in the city were directly collected and taken away. The city lord didn't kill him, leaving him to recruit recruits to guard Rongcheng on his own.

The army stayed in Rongcheng for a long time, and did not go north, but to the northwest, aiming directly at Guicheng in the northwest. Xiong Jun: They don't understand a little, Li Yunyi is going to sweep the cities one by one? What are you doing with so much military ration? Are they going to be sent to the front line? They have become a grain transportation brigade?

There are also those incorporated armies, which have no combat effectiveness at all in a short period of time, and once they fight against Cai Guo's army, what role can these incorporated armies play? In addition, there is another point, these things must not be hidden, it is estimated that it will not be long before it spreads throughout Jingguo, and then the Huya Army will be notorious, and Li Yunyi's reputation will be stinky.

In addition to supervising the whole army, Xiong Jun has recently changed his tricks to send all kinds of things to Su Yunyi every day, each meal is a few dishes, and he will also send some fresh melons and fruits in the city by chance. It's a pity that Su Yunyi hardly eats much, but he is cheaper than Chunya and Jiang Xiaocicada.

Two days later, the army arrived in Guicheng.

In the same way, like the locusts crossing the border, the food in the city was collected, and the more than 700 troops in the city were absorbed, leaving the city lord who wanted to cry without tears.

A letter of complaint was also sent to Jingcheng like snowflakes, and the war that occurred in Tiannan County became a piece of music and passed to Li Yunyu's desk. The big battle on the side of Black Rock City may break out at any time, all the troops on both sides are gathered near Black Rock City, and the court is in chaos every day, Li Yunyu and some military ministers are so busy that their butts are smoking, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen in Tiannan County?

Wu Qi was in Black Rock City, and after getting the news, he immediately wrote a book, and pressed his handprint with blood behind him, asking Li Yunyu to call the shots for him. He was fighting bloody battles on the front line, but Li Yunyi rioted in the back and killed his only son, how could he be calm?

The fryer in the hall is up.

Countless ministers have played one after another, asking Li Yunyu to remove Li Yunyi's status as the prince and convict him of treason, and everyone in the Panorama Country can be punished.

Of course, there were also some courtiers who expressed different opinions, they said that Li Yunyi's army was obviously heading north, maybe he wanted to gather all the troops in Tiannan County to fight the enemy together?

This statement was sprayed by many important ministers, the strongest force in Tiannan County was in the hands of Wu Qi, and the rest were some stragglers, and they still had to resist the enemy?

There are even conspiracy theorists, saying that Li Yunyi has committed treason, and he is helping Cai Guo to engage in civil strife, saying that Cai Guo has given Li Yunyi the title of king......

Such a major event soon spread from the court to the people. The people were immediately indignant, and the whole country was resisting the enemy, but the seventh prince Li Yunyi was fighting among himself and killing his own people. How could such a prince not arouse the disgust of the people, and many people even changed Li Yunyi's name, not King Yi, but Demon King.

Li Yunyu did not remove Li Yunyi's status as the prince in the end, he was the regent and did not have this authority. He issued a royal decree to the world. said that the national disaster was at the head, let Li Yunyi not mess around, let him stop, if he continued to do evil, the court would not be able to tolerate him, and the entire Jingguo would not be able to tolerate him.

Li Yunyi ignored it completely, continued to lead the army to march quickly in Tiannan County, and after leaving Guicheng, he marched towards Yangcheng in the north, and his faction was obviously to sweep all the cities in Tiannan County.

......

Tianjing-gun, 100 miles east of Black Rock City.

There was a small town here, but at the moment it was occupied by a dense army, and the tents outside the town were undulating, and there was no end in sight. All the troops of Cai Guo were assembled here, and Wang Tai, the general of Cai Guo, was sitting in the town, and he was the generalissimo of Cai Guo and the supreme commander.

It has been ten days since all the troops of Cai Guo were assembled here, and according to the original plan, the army had already begun to attack Black Rock City. As long as Black Rock City is defeated, Jingcheng will be exposed to the iron hooves of Cai Guo's army. Once Jingcheng is captured, Jingguo will be equivalent to destroying the country.

It's just that Wang Tai didn't order the attack, and the army has been a little restless recently, and I don't know what Wang Tai is thinking.

There are 80,000 troops gathered here, and every day of stay will consume countless more food. And if you don't attack early, will you wait for Jingguo's side to be completely prepared before attacking? At that time, I don't know how many soldiers of Cai Guo will be killed or wounded.

Cai State, like Jing Guo, is a third-class vassal state of the Southern Chu Dynasty, and its own military strength is weaker than that of Jing State, and the 80,000 troops here are the strength of the whole country. The two countries lost a lot of troops in the war, and now they can still gather 80,000, which is the army that can be mobilized in the country. If this battle is lost, Cai Guo's life will not be easy.

"Rustle!"

Eight armoured generals gathered outside a courtyard, and after the sergeants had passed the ceremony, the eight generals entered the courtyard. Inside, a huge map hung on the wall of the hall, and an old man in civilian clothes was looking at it with his hands behind his back.

"See the General!"

The eight generals gave a military salute, Wang Tai did not turn back, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite." ”

Several generals got up, and seeing that Wang Tai did not turn around, they did not dare to speak more. After standing in silence for a moment, a general couldn't help but ask, "General, we... When will the troops be dispatched? If we continue to drag on, the morale of the army will drop terribly. ”

The rest of the generals chimed in, and Wang Tai waited for a moment and turned around. Although his hair is gray, his face is like that of a middle-aged man, full of red light, and his skin is very good. He was not angry and arrogant, glanced at a group of generals and said: "I don't send troops, so naturally I have my reasons." ”

A group of generals were a little helpless, and Wang Tai didn't speak, but sat down and flipped through the official documents.

After waiting for a moment, when a group of generals were about to retreat, a lieutenant rushed in and presented an official letter on one knee. Wang Tai picked it up and looked at it a few times, his face became gloomy, he threw the official document on the table, and said, "Look at it, you will know why I didn't send troops." ”

One of the generals picked up the official document and glanced at it a few times, and his face was suddenly full of consternation, and he handed it to the rest of the generals to look at, and all the generals changed their faces after reading it.

One of the generals couldn't help but exclaim: "The army riding the blood wolf??The army of the Wu clan is destroying our grain routes and granaries?Isn't the Wu tribe always in the Nanban Mountain Range?Why are they attacking us?"

"Does the Wu Clan want to die?"

A general said murderously: "Little Wu Clan, a thousand years ago, was almost wiped out by our human army, and after a thousand years of recuperation in the Nanban Mountains, he dared to run out and be a demon? ”

"Don't talk this!"

Wang Tai slapped the table and said: "The terrain of the Nanban Mountains is complicated, and it is useless for you to bring 100,000 troops in, what is the use of saying this? Six days ago, I received the news of this mysterious blood wolf army, and I have mobilized the green cavalry and the purple cavalry to clear it. If this mysterious blood wolf army is not defeated, our rear is unstable, how can we start a war?"

"No wonder!"

A group of generals suddenly realized, no wonder the two cavalry left suddenly, and their feelings were to encircle and suppress this mysterious blood wolf army. Wang Tai's approach is right, if the rear is unstable, the front will start a war, it is easy to have big problems, and if it is not done well, the whole army may be wiped out. Once the grain route is cut off, the 80,000 army will have no food to eat, and they will starve to death without the Jingguo army attacking.

The green cavalry and the purple cavalry were the two strongest cavalry of the Cai State, and both had 5,000 people. According to the intelligence, there are only about 1,000 blood wolf cavalry, and 10,000 cavalry go to encircle and suppress 1,000 cavalry, isn't that a good way to capture? When the blood wolf cavalry is defeated and the grain route is restored smoothly, there is no hurry to attack Heiyan City again, anyway, the Jingguo army will not be able to escape.

"Go back to camp!"

Wang Tai waved his hand and said, "Don't spread the news about the blood wolf cavalry, and settle their own soldiers." Some troops can be mobilized to collect rations in the vicinity in case of emergency. When the good news comes, I will order a general attack. ”

"Whoa!"

The eight generals retreated, Wang Tai looked at the map on the wall with his hands behind his back, his eyes stayed on several cities in Dongyuan County, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he muttered: "Is it really the Wu Clan? This doesn't make sense, how can the Wu Clan help Jingguo? If it's not the Wu Clan, then whose army will it be? Can domesticate the blood wolf, this is a great means." Hmph, no matter what kind of army it is, since you dare to come, don't leave, Jingguo...... Must perish at the hands of General Ben!"
