Chapter 1035: Pursuing while Victory
Yang Luochen slowly returned: "Master Mu, have you heard of the Snow Feather Palace? Could it be that the strong wind is the territory of the Snow Feather Palace, so the Baiyun Sect usually doesn't come here."
Mu Ye said with a smile: "Boy, the Xuanmen is originally the same qi and branches, if your matter is seen very seriously by the disciples and grandchildren of Jian Xuan, as long as there is a place for the Xuanmen, it is useless for you to run anywhere, it is estimated that the Baiyun Sect will not trouble you, and I am afraid that Taiming has already dealt with it for you."
"As for this Xueling Palace, Lao Tzu doesn't know, let me tell you, Lao Tzu has been locked up by the sword for a thousand years, Lao Tzu doesn't know what is going on here, you kid hurry up and finish the things here, find a sect if you can, so that you can know more"
Yang Luochen thought about it, the first thing is to calm the wind, and then find a sect as Mu Ye said, Baiyun Sect doesn't want that doesn't mean that other sects won't accept it, and when the time comes, it will be good to have a detailed understanding of the cultivation realm.
Yang Luochen, who returned to Jucheng, restored his original outfit, replaced Miao Xing, arranged some matters, and finally relaxed. At night, in the courtyard of Young Master Kun Yao's house, there were only Young Master Haoyang, Yuan Tang, Miao Xing, Miao Yue and Yang Luochen at this time.
Young Master Haoyang asked, "Brother Yang, if you hadn't made a move during the day, we would have died in that person's hands." What the hell is going on? Did the Cultivation Realm intervene?"
Yang Luochen shook his head and said: "No, those are evil demons, I don't know why they want to participate in this war, the people of Xueling Palace have already dealt with it."
Yuan Tang asked excitedly: "You said Xueling Palace, is it really Xueling Palace?"
Yang Luochen didn't know why Yuan Tang was so excited, nodded and asked, "Yes, what, do you know about Xueling Palace?"
Yuan Tang slowly returned: "There are not many people who know about the Snow Feather Palace, because the Snow Feather Palace has not asked about mundane things for hundreds of years, and the Snow Feather Palace was still recruiting disciples in the Wind before, I don't know what the reason is, I haven't heard the news of the Snow Feather Palace for hundreds of years, and I also heard from the young lady."
Yang Luochen was interested in such a Xueling Palace, but he asked a lot, Yuan Tang and Young Master Haoyang both said that they didn't know, and Yang Luochen had to wait for Young Master Kunyao to come back and ask.
As for the incident during the day, Yang Luochen rarely mentioned it, firstly, he had not figured out what was going on, and secondly, the matter of the cultivation realm was rarely mentioned in front of mortals, so as not to cause turmoil.
However, Yang Luochen remembered what Li Chao seemed to have said to Yuan Tang before he died, and asked, "Brother Yuan, what did Li Chao tell you before he died?"
Yuan Tang said with some embarrassment: "Except for the word 'moon worship', I didn't have time to listen to the others, and I was shocked by that person."
Yang Luochen was thoughtful, Yuan Yuan mentioned to Yang Luochen what the landlord was before he left, plus the moon worship, he already knew something in his heart, and Miao Yue on the side said coldly: "Moon worship building"
Yang Luochen nodded, and then said: "I didn't expect that the Moon Worship Tower is not only mysterious, but also has such evil arts, it seems that we must always pay attention to the movements of the Moon Worship Tower in the future."
Young Master Haoyang and Yuan Tang didn't know what the two of them were talking about at all, Yuan Tang asked, "Baiyue Tower, what kind of organization is this, why haven't I heard of it before?"
Yang Luochen said slowly: "Don't worry about this moon worship tower for now, they are very mysterious, we know very little news, there is no information in the intelligence at all, we can only take one step at a time." Or think about what to do next?"
Everyone fell silent, Yang Luochen looked at Miao Xing, Miao Xing said: "This big victory, the Li Dynasty killed itself, and there were 100,000 troops, originally I wanted to pursue with the victory, but I thought that if the 100,000 troops did not surrender sincerely, we would be in trouble at that time."
Everyone also nodded in agreement, but Yang Luochen said: "It's okay, those surrendered troops have been scattered and distributed to the names of various generals, the prince has been defeated, if he is given the opportunity to recuperate, he will be relieved in the future, and there will be more deaths." What's going on with the other four cities?"
Miao Yue said slowly: "According to the instructions of the young master, we found the grain channel behind them, and then with the cooperation of Niu Guang, we cut off their grain route and burned their granary. Then we went to the four cities to walk the rumors, and the news of the destruction of the grain and grass was walked out, and the defenders of the four cities could not eat all day long."
"After a rebellion, the defenders of the four cities had no choice but to retreat, and by the way, they looted the valuable things of the four cities, and now the four cities have fallen into our hands, but the pacification work has not yet been carried out, and the people are starving to death."
Yuan Tang also continued: "The Li Dynasty thinks about attacking the city all day long, and there is a thought of the grain road, this time he also suffered a loss of quick success, if it weren't for cutting off their grain route and messing up their military morale, I'm afraid it would be a vicious battle, with countless casualties."
Young Master Haoyang also nodded yes, if it was in the style of Emperor Mang, he would have been all over the wilderness a long time ago, and the blood would flow like a river, thanks to Yang Luochen's many ghost ideas.
Yang Luochen got up and said: "In this case, Miao Xing, you and His Highness do a good job of pacifying, and by the way, subdue the hearts of the surrendered troops, after five days, leave 50,000 to defend the city, and the remaining 150,000 soldiers will be divided into five routes, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and approaching Tianfeng City."
Miao Xing said on the side: "Young master, will it be too tight, in case something happens......
Yang Luochen shook his hand and said: "It's okay, you have to believe in the Fourth Highness, remember to cooperate with Your Highness to do a good job of pacification after the war, and those civil officials will be handed over to you."
The two nodded, and the group dispersed. Five days later, Yang Luochen took over Shake Qu City with 50,000, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers went to the north in four ways.
Along the way, the city was attacked, and the camp was unstoppable, and in half a month, more than 20 cities were connected, and it was not far from Tianfeng City.
This road is very smooth, some cities know that the army of the young master Haoyang is coming, and they open the door and surrender before the battle, and the stragglers will be reorganized and contained all the way, and in half a month, the army has increased from the original 150,000 to 300,000.
Faced with this situation, the prince's side was in a hurry, and gathered an army of 400,000 to resist, and the army met in the valley plain, and another big war was about to break out, and the two sides were tense and faced off for half a month, but they did not dare to make a move, but they only harassed each other on a small scale.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Luochen summoned all the generals to discuss the matter, a huge sand table was placed in the middle, and the layout of both sides was presented on the sand table, and the generals below were gossiping about their opinions, and Yang Luochen was quietly standing in front and listening.
Suddenly, someone outside came to report the "report...... General, Your Highness has urgent documents"
Yang Luochen hurriedly called the man in, this time it was Miao Ting who delivered the letter, she took out the letter in her arms and handed it to Yang Luochen, and waited quietly on the side.
The big tent became quiet for a while, Yang Luochen opened the letter and looked at it, frowned slightly, and then slowly said to all the soldiers: "Your Royal Highness has sent a letter, the second prince is coming with an army of 200,000, and five cities in the east have fallen, ask me about my countermeasures." Tell me what to do."
The big tent exploded at once, and some people advocated that the 400,000 of the crown prince should be destroyed first, and let the four highnesses hold on, and then turn back to rescue them when this side was finished; some people advocated that a part of it should be sent to reinforcements, and this side could not retreat, otherwise the more than 20 cities captured would be sent away; and some people advocated withdrawing the troops and solving the army of the second prince first.
The big tent became lively again for a while, Yang Luochen still didn't say a word, and suddenly someone came to report again, and the prince sent out 5,000 soldiers and horses to provoke.
Yang Luochen immediately sent a general to lead five thousand to meet the battle, the letter in his hand was tightly in his hand, and he turned his head and asked Miao Ting in a low voice: "Does Miao Xing have a countermeasure?"
Miao Ting whispered in Yang Luochen's ear: "The eldest sister said that the second prince sent troops this time, and she can't eat it accurately, let me ask the young master what to do?"
"Strange?"
Miao Ting continued: "Young master, the eldest sister said, didn't the second prince promise us not to participate in the battle between us? Why did you go back on your word, could it be that it was to deceive us from the beginning, Liu Fa's death and that letter were a hoax from the beginning. In addition, there was no movement after they took the five cities."
Yang Luochen thought about it, now it is really a dilemma, fighting to the death with the prince, the rear will definitely be lost, if the army is withdrawn, the more than 20 pools captured are equivalent to giving up, and all the hard work is in vain.
Yang Luochen felt that something was wrong after thinking about it, and the big tent became quiet, waiting for the news of the battlefield ahead.
An hour passed, the two sides retreated, and the generals who had gone to meet the enemy returned, exhausted, kneeling on one knee in the center of the big tent and saying: "Marshal, the enemy has been repulsed, and the Lord will be rescued by them, and the casualties are not great."
Yang Luochen appeased for a while, and then said: "Generals, go back first, Rong Benshuai think about how to deal with it"
All the generals retreated, and only Miao Ting was left in the big tent, Yang Luochen said: "You say, the Fourth Highness has a letter but Miao Xing doesn't, Miao Xing should think of a way."
Miao Ting smiled slightly and said, "It's still the young master who understands our eldest sister." The eldest sister said that the five cities were deliberately given to them to avoid casualties, and the army of the second prince came to attack, which seemed to stab us in the backbone, but in fact, it was to test whether we were prepared."
"The 100,000 troops originally deployed in the east have all been evacuated, and our virtual and real parties don't know yet, His Royal Highness sent a letter to let the young master know about the rear, and the eldest sister asked me to ask the young master, whether the second prince will fight or not. ”
"If you fight, you will have to face a two-sided attack, if you don't fight, what decision should you make, Liu Fa's matter can be known, the second prince does not have the heart to unite against the prince, but what exactly is the idea, the eldest sister still doesn't know"
Yang Luochen thought about it for a long time, there is still no good way, let's offend the two parties, there will be some trouble at that time, if we don't fight, once the second prince tastes the sweetness and finds out our hypocrisy, the rear must be a bitter battle, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of the city.
In fact, the main problem is that Yang Luochen has no one under him, and those generals of Gale can indeed do it, but let them lead the army to resist the army of the second prince Yang Luochen is still not at ease, Miao Xing is resourceful enough, but he has never been on the battlefield in person, Yang Luochen is not at ease, and some doppelgangers are not at ease.
"How is the strength of the second prince?"
Miao Ting said honestly: "The eldest sister said that the strength is not as good as the prince, but it should not be underestimated, there is a resourceful person in it, that is, the Xiongtian who has never shown up."
Yang Luochen thought hard for a long time and there was still no result, and he had the idea of retiring from the army in his heart, it doesn't matter if he can't win now, he can come again, if he loses the foundation of Young Master Haoyang, there is no chance of making a comeback.
"Retirement? yes, retreat" Yang Luochen's mind flashed, and he said to himself. Then he looked at Miao Ting with a smile and said: "Miao Ting, I will write a letter to you, you take it back, I will go back to deal with the affairs of the second prince after I deal with the affairs here."
Miao Ting looked puzzled, why did Yang Luochen, who was originally frowning, actually smile when he said that he was retiring from the army, is it also glorious to retiring from the army? But she didn't ask much, anyway, Miao Ting didn't care about this.
After finishing the letter, Yang Luochen sent Miao Ting, and hurriedly hurried all the soldiers to come to discuss the matter. Mu Ye asked in Zhihai: "You kid, what the hell do you have to think again, you won't really withdraw from the army, will you, then when will this battle last?"
Yang Luochen said slowly in Zhihai: "Master Mu, don't be impatient, according to my estimate, in less than two years, this battle will be over, and you will be able to cultivate with peace of mind when the time comes."
Mu Ye didn't speak anymore, and soon all the generals arrived at the central tent, and Yang Luochen said: "Give a general, this marshal has decided to withdraw the army, if His Highness's foundation is lost, even if we win this battle, we will have no place to live, so we still withdraw and fight to the death next time."
Many generals were stunned, but the military order had been issued, and they didn't dare to have any more opinions, Yang Luochen arranged a lot of things to withdraw from the army, and asked those generals to go down and tell all the soldiers to pack up and retire tomorrow.
