Chapter Ninety-Nine: Parting

"Then according to the princess, the appearance of this army is a great threat to us"? Song Xuan is a veteran, thinking more long-term, Yan and Chu will not be able to avoid a war in the future, and the appearance of this army makes Song Xuan feel a feeling of being targeted by a beast.

"Is there a threat, it can already be seen through the defeat of our Yan army this time, and you see, my Ji Nan Prefecture is here, and the army of 100,000 people of the Jin State is opposite Ji Nan State, relatively speaking, we are very close to the Jin State, so why did this kind of army appear on the side of our Yan army."

"Through their tactics, I think they are more like the Chu army," Xie Jiao, who was standing behind, suddenly interjected,

"How so"? Song Xuan and Wei Yingluo both looked at Xie Jiao.

"When we attacked Qingyun City in Chu State before, although their resistance was very fierce, we clearly sensed that the remaining troops in Qingyun City of Chu State were less than 30,000. However, Ye Beijiang, who had injured his hand that night, didn't know why he launched a fierce attack on our army with the Chu army defending the city overnight, and he used torches on the city wall to tie arrows to shoot out for lighting."

"In the meantime, their attack was like a death, as if there was something behind us that they were extremely concerned about." Xie Jiao, who had experienced that battle, told his guess.

Song Xuan and Wei Yingluo suddenly felt that this army must be inseparable from the Chu army, but how the Chu army quietly planted an army into their rear became an unsolved mystery for them.

"If it is the Chu army, then it will be clear why the Jin army will suddenly attack us, it seems that there is another great general on the Chu side, and we must be more careful when facing the Chu State in the future."

After listening to them for a long time, Song Xuan, combined with his own understanding of Ji Nanzhou, quickly became clear about the reason why Xie Wang's battle was really defeated.

"Oh, General Song, can you tell us about it", hearing Song Xuan's words, Wei Yingluo suddenly became interested to see if her own conjecture was the same as Song Xuan's thoughts.

"Princess, please see, although we can see from the map that the border between Jinan Prefecture and the Jin State is very tight, but there is still a large area in the middle, the Yishui River passes through the border river of the Jin State Our Jinan Prefecture, both sides of the river are a dense jungle, and it is basically no problem to hide 20,000 horses."

"The people who dare to make such a decision are by no means idle, because if they do so, they may be discovered by the Jin Kingdom and us at any time, and once they are discovered, they basically have no chance of living, but the person who made this decision not only succeeded, but also turned the entire tide of the war."

"If I'm not mistaken, presumably this army must have arrived here not long before the war, otherwise it will be exposed after a long time, and their initial goal was not to attack from behind our army, but to provoke a dispute between us and the Jin State and break the loose alliance between our two countries." Song Xuan pointed to Ye Yunyi on the map where they had been hiding.

"If I were here, I would divide my troops into two ways and attack the Jin State and our Jinan Prefecture at the same time, taking advantage of the night, it is already difficult to judge, and if I am attacked, whether it is us or the Jin State, we will not think that this is the trick of the Chu State, but suspect that it is the other party who made a move, which is why the Jin State suddenly violated our alliance and launched an attack on the flank of our army."

Song Xuan is worthy of being called a man who is known as the god of war, his grasp of the battle situation may not be as daring to break the rules as Xie Wang, but he is definitely the clearest grasp of the entire battle situation, and through the details of the spider silk, he has already guessed Ye Yunyi's original action trajectory.

"The person who came up with this plan must not stay, otherwise it will be a huge threat to our Yan Kingdom", Song Xuan finally said.

After listening to Song Xuan's analysis, although Xie Jiao personally experienced the war, he also felt a chill in his back afterwards, a person who dared to make such a plan had a heart and strategy that very people can compare.

Xie Jiao secretly made up his mind, next time, he must defeat the person who made this plan, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, he has always thought that his military talent is already the most outstanding generation, but he did not expect to be given a profound lesson by others, which also aroused Xie Jie's fighting spirit, and the next time he met, he would never die.

Yan Guo's side had already guessed Ye Yunyi's idea of commanding Qingyun City's battle, but Ye Yunyi's side was unconscious, even if he knew, he didn't worry too much, after all, a strategy like this, Ye Yunyi, who came from later generations, came easily, and after using it once, he wouldn't use it a second time.

On the side of Qingyun City, when Ye Beijiang's injuries were almost healed, there was also news from Chudu's side that Qu Taishi and several of their ministers had come to the side, first raising Ye Beijiang's title by a large margin, and then there were all kinds of rewards, although most of them were vain.

The most practical thing is the reward for the soldiers of Qingyun City, basically those who survived this battle have been rewarded more generously, which can be regarded as the compensation of the imperial court for the soldiers of this battle, after all, the imperial court basically did not contribute much in this battle, so after the victory, the small half of the treasury was directly taken out and rewarded to the soldiers.

Qu Taishi also followed Ye Yunyi's suggestion and appointed Xuan Ke as the guard general of Qingyun City, but the position could not be compared with Ye Beijiang, which was already a reward that others could not match, and he became famous in a battle and directly became one of the generals of Chu State.

And the existence of the Iron Army made the imperial court have to take it seriously, so it had to re-compile the origin of the Iron Army, so that the Iron Army was directly included in the jurisdiction of Qingyun City, in fact, this is only temporary, even Qu Taishi understands very well that the Iron Army is afraid that he will only obey Ye Yunyi's orders, so what Ye Yunyi says is what it is, and he can't let the Iron Army who has made such a great achievement chill.

These days, with the news that Qingyun City has been defended and the Yan army has been shattered in various parts of Chu State, several states and counties that had tried to support Qingyun City before were completely panicked, they had really calculated that Qingyun City would be defeated in this battle, but the slap in the face came so quickly that they were not prepared at all.

After Qingyun City won the battle this time, it was inevitable that they would be a dead end, and at this time, the county guards of several states and counties panicked and kept writing to the court, trying to get the court's forgiveness.

Now the imperial court has free hands, and it is easy to clean them up, at this time, the county guards are repentant, and at the same time they see Lanze County and Yunfeng County's eyes are red, and the support of Lanze County and Yunfeng County, although they did not make much effort, they only ended up in the end, but they also won the favor of the court, after all, sending charcoal in the snow is often more worthy of recognition than icing on the cake.

So in recent days, several other states and counties have either secretly and frantically used money to curry favor with the ministers of the DPRK and the central government or to see if they have daughters of the right age, and they have been constantly marrying with the Xu family and the Yun family in Lanze County, what Xu Tingwei doesn't know is that he hasn't returned home yet, and the family has already set no less than five family affairs for him, if he knows, it is estimated that the family will not dare to go back.

And the Yun family is okay, after all, people's family backgrounds are there, not ordinary people, and they can't afford to climb high.

"Father, I see that Qingyun City's side has basically come to an end, Xuan Ke is also very good to take over the task of Qingyun City's guards, in two days, I decided to leave for Chudu, I have been away from home for so long, it is a bit like Ye Bo's cooking."

Ye Beijiang, who was almost healed from his injuries, was already sitting in the position he was sitting in at this time, and unhurriedly sorted out the things to be explained to Xuan Ke, including the military expenses over the years, the loss of troops, and the plan for the construction of Qingyun City.

Anyway, now that the injury is almost healed, you can prepare these aftermaths at the last time, and it will not be in vain that you have worked hard for more than ten years to take root in Qingyun City, and it will be convenient for Xuan Ke to take over.

"What year is it? I almost forgot that when I came to Qingyun City, it was still the twenty-first year of Gaozu's reign in Anping," Ye Beijiang raised his head, which had already appeared a small handful of white hair, and the autumn sun fell on his somewhat old face through the window, looking at Ye Yunyi, who had already cleaned up at this time.

"Father, today is the sixth year of Yongxing, and you have already asked it for the sixth time", Ye Beijiang, who was timid in his hometown, asked Ye Yunyi about the time over and over again, afraid that this was untrue.

"Yongxing for six years, it can be regarded as going back, Yunyi, wait for you to send these things to Xuan Ke, presumably he will use them in the future, I won't go, I have to say goodbye to the brothers who fell in Qingyun City, you don't have to look for me, I know the time, I must come back on time." Ye Beijiang looked at the drunken sunlight outside the door, walked out of the position of the desk, and said.

"Okay, then I'll go over there first and see if there's anything else I haven't prepared, so I won't panic."

Ye Yunyi, who walked out of the door, glanced back at the back of the person who was slowly walking into the distance, he had always been a towering figure before, and now he has become a lot more rickety, he didn't let himself go to him, I was afraid that he wanted to say goodbye to this place where he had lived for a long time, and if he had some private words, he would have to talk to the fallen brothers.

Now Qingyun City has been recuperated for almost a month, and has roughly returned to its former appearance, the reinforced city is still difficult to cover up the former war, but it is a much quieter city than before, every living person cherishes the time in front of them, and the breath of harmony and freshness surrounds this city that came out of the baptism of war.

Maybe there will be more wars in the future, and even later, it will be covered in the dust and lost in history, at least the Qingyun City at this moment is engraved with the tribulations and glory of the Chu State.

"Time is easy to get old, the years have passed, Brother Ye, don't leave it here, when you return to Chudu, you must remember to look for me, or when you pass by Lanze County, remember to enter my Xu Mansion and sit, maybe after I go back today, I estimate that I will be grounded by my father for a period of time, and I can't drink with you."

Under the gate of Qingyun City, Xu Tingwei said with emotion that now he is going back with his soldiers from Lanze County, when he came before, he secretly carried his father behind his back and came with a military talisman privately, and now that Qingyun City is over, he should also take these soldiers back and accept his father's punishment.

The reason why he couldn't go the same way with Ye Yunyi was because Lanzejun and Chu were not in the same direction, and after coming out for so long, he still took most of Lanzejun's "belongings" with him, and when he thought of his father's frightening face, he was very scared.

Also, he led the troops out to fulfill the promise he made to that woman, and now he has fulfilled his own, and now he can't wait to go back to that place and find her to fulfill her promise, although he knows that her heart is not here with him, but he is still full of expectations.

"Okay, if I have time to pass by, I'll come. Brother Xu, this time is a great favor, I don't know how to protect it, if there is something that needs help in the future, just come to the Ye family, although my Ye family has withered a lot over the years, but general things can still help."

"Where to say, life is rare to have a confidant, you and I are very compatible, what is the big favor, besides, I believe that even without our arrival, you can still solve the current dilemma."

"It's different, if it weren't for these soldiers from Lanze County, I guess it's a different matter whether I can see my father again? I wish Brother Xu a safe journey, return to Chudu as soon as possible, and then we will have a good time."

"Okay, Chu will not be seen or dispersed."

"See you or leave".

Ye Yunyi bid farewell to Xu Tingwei's mighty army of 30,000 Lan Ze County at dusk, and silently watched their distant figures disappear at the end of their sight.
