Chapter 176: Turning Enemies into Friends [Third Update]
Is it a war, or is it a peace......
The question haunted the enclave leader's mind, making him hesitate.
War, the first to bear the brunt, his own safety is not guaranteed at all, at this moment is guarded by Ye Guan and Liu Yuan, the two killing gods, if you want to deliver the news, it is simply a fool's dream, even if you can pass the news out, the army will attack Wufeng City, in the process, I am afraid that how many lives will be lost. At this moment, the leader of the enclave was very remorseful, regretting his underestimating enemy, and at the same time regretting why he would easily listen to the strategy of the Northern King and put himself in such an embarrassing situation.
Previously, Ye Guan used the power of thunder to restrain himself, and then issued a series of orders to let his own city defenders lay down their weapons one after another, and the soldiers of the East Wangfu took over the city defense. The means of Ye Guan can be seen.
Now I heard the battle report from the front again, although the first forward battalion of my side was used to contain the enemy's troops, and the combat power was not very strong, but in any case, the Dongwangfu was able to achieve a battle loss of one to twenty, which was simply appalling. It's just that I don't know how many people there are in this enemy army, but relying on the information I got before, this enemy army must not be many in number, at most the same strength as the first front battalion.
Even if the strength of the troops is almost the same, this battle loss ratio is too terrifying. If this army is really killed under Wufeng City, even if the tens of thousands of troops on their side can completely annihilate the opponent, they will suffer heavy losses.
If you want to make peace with ......
Thinking of this, the leader of the enclave looked at Ye Guanyun's breezy face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Not long after the unification of the enclave, this time he used his own strategy, intending to help the Northern King drag the Eastern Wangfu to death, and when the order was issued, many generals held opposing opinions, so they forcibly suppressed it, and then implemented the current plan. In addition to the 40,000 elites outside the city at the moment, and the first battalion that has been completely annihilated, 40,000 elites have also been sent to the Blackstone Bridge, intending to recapture the Blackstone Bridge, and on the way to Wufeng City, there are still several large camps in ambush, not elite men, but there are also 30,000 or 40,000 troops in total. The enclave is vast and sparsely populated, covering a huge area, even if an order is issued at this moment and transmitted to the Blackstone Bridge, it will take two days at the earliest, and by the time the news arrives, I am afraid that the war is nearing its end.
What's more, if he changed his orders overnight, he couldn't have imagined what impact it would have in the army. However, it is foreseeable that there will definitely be dissatisfaction among the generals, and it is very likely that the army as a whole will not respect the order. If such a thing really happens, then the unification of the enclave is probably going to break down.
If you fight, your life will not be guaranteed, and if you are peaceful, your dignity will be lost.
The leader of the enclave was in a dilemma, and he couldn't make a decision for a while.
Although Ye Guan gave him a reason that he couldn't refuse, the enclave sergeant was definitely not the opponent of the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion, if he waited for the East Prince's Mansion to really breathe a sigh of relief, it was only a matter of time before the enclave would be destroyed. But the leader of the enclave was so full of thoughts at the moment that he couldn't make a decision.
Ye Guanyun was light-hearted, glanced at the leader of the enclave, saw his hesitant appearance, smiled slightly, and already knew his thoughts in his heart.
Before coming to the enclave, Ye Guan had already rehearsed what was going to happen in his mind, and what was happening now did not exceed his expectations, and the leader of the enclave would hesitate, Ye Guan already knew it.
"Your Excellency, Chief, need not hesitate. Ye Guan Chong chuckled at the leader of the enclave: "Even if the leader doesn't give the order and doesn't choose, after tomorrow, someone will help the leader choose." ”
"Huh?" The leader of the enclave was stunned when he heard this, looked at Ye Guan in confusion, and asked softly, "City Lord Ye, what do you mean by this?"
"When I ask the leader about war and peace, I ask about the attitude of the leader, not about the situation outside. Ye Guan smiled and said: "Regardless of whether the leader fights or makes peace, now, the battle of Wufeng City is inevitable." The Chief's decision will determine your own life and death, and the life and death of the people of Wufeng City. ”
When the leader of the enclave heard Ye Guan's words, he fell into deep thought.
He understood.
What Ye Guan said basically responded to his previous worries. Yes, at this moment, it is war or peace, and it is no longer up to me.
In front of Wufeng City, the army is pressing, 40,000 elites are ready to go, if they really order to surrender, the generals outside will definitely not listen, if they know that they are captured, they are afraid that they will attack the city as soon as possible, and their own life and death, in the eyes of the enclave generals at that time, is no longer so important. The generals in front of them are likely to mutiny, and the rest of the armies that are fighting or preparing for war in the distance are even more likely to mutiny, and an order to surrender is likely to cause panic in the entire enclave, and the order to surrender must not be given.
In any case, even if the army of the Eastern Wangfu arrives in Wufeng City, the battle of Wufeng City is inevitable, and in this process, all he can do is to defend the people of Wufeng City and his own lives.
Now, he regretted a little that he sent all his descendants to the front line to protect Wufeng City, but most of them were soldiers who conquered during the battle.
Originally, I thought that there would be no changes in Wufeng City, and it would be nine out of ten. But now, because he underestimated Ye Guan and Dongwangfu, he put himself in such a situation.
The leader of the enclave sighed and said softly: "Ye City Lord has good means, I am convinced." Wufengcheng gave up resistance and was willing to surrender to the East Palace, and after the battle was over, I issued an official order, and I myself would personally go to the Black Stone Bridge to wait for the handover of the East Palace. ”
When Ye Guan heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "In this way, Ye Mou will thank the leader for not killing all the people of Wufeng City." After that, Ye Guan clasped his fists with both hands and gave a deep salute to the leader of the enclave, and when the leader of the enclave saw this, he hurriedly returned the salute, and the air was busy: "City Lord Ye is serious, I want to thank City Lord Ye for not killing." ”
"Now that the city lord has chosen to surrender, then the rest of the matter will be simple. Ye Guan chuckled lightly and said in a deep voice: "I also ask the city lord to give an order to close the city gate for the time being, and the city lord needs to go to the prison in person to inform the enclave sergeant who has been escorted this news." After doing this, I also asked the chief to issue a city lord decree to inform the entire Wufeng City of the surrender. ”
Hearing this, the leader of the enclave nodded slightly, and since he had already made a decision, he no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order.
Later, he will definitely do what Ye Guan said, and try to avoid the lives of the people in the enclave, this strategy, from the moment he was controlled, no longer made sense.
Just because it doesn't make sense to the Enclave Boss doesn't mean it doesn't mean it doesn't mean to all the Enclave Soldiers. Among the enclaves, there are still many generals who strongly oppose the surrender of the Eastern Palace, and surrendering without a fight is regarded as a shame and absolutely unacceptable.
Asked Liu Yuan to convey the enclave leader's order to close the city gate, the enclave leader and Ye Guan got up and went straight to the prison of Wufeng City.
As early as when they were disarmed before, the sergeants defending the city already felt that Wufeng City had surrendered, and they had no will to fight, and at this moment the leader of the enclave entered the prison and told them about the surrender, which did not cause any waves among the sergeants.
The leader of the enclave is also the lord of Wufeng City, and the defenders of Wufeng City are all descendants of the Wufeng City Lord. The leader of the enclave ordered all the sergeants to take up arms and defend Wufeng City together with the sergeants of the Eastern Palace. None of the enclave sergeants resisted.
Wufeng City is their home, even if Ye Guan took absolute control of Wufeng City, he did not make any moves in the city, but maintained the previous appearance of Wufeng City, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. Even the vast majority of people don't know that Wufeng City has changed hands. This news reached the ears of the soldiers of Wufengcheng, and they did not have any disgust towards Dongwangfu and Ye Guan himself.
Besides, it is also the order of the enclave leader to take up arms when they get out of prison, they are still loyal to the enclave leader, and the enclave leader is still the city lord of Wufeng City, and this will never change. Ye Guan also promised in public that if the East Wangfu took over Wufeng City, everything before would not change, and even if the East Wangfu entered the enclave, it would choose another place to build a city, and would not seize an inch of Wufeng City.
In this way, the defenders in Wufeng City have changed from enemy troops to friendly troops. The leader of the enclave, who has gone from being an enemy to an ally.
This series of changes may seem a little strange, but it is reasonable.
The leader of the enclave is thinking about the future of the whole enclave, and he used to plan to lure the East Wangfu into it, but also for the long-term development of the enclave, thinking that the general trend of the East Wangfu has gone, and after he surrenders, the position of the leader is not guaranteed. But after contacting Ye Guan, he realized that his previous thinking was very narrow. Even if the Dongwang Mansion was at the end of the crossbow and dispatched the whole army to engulf the entire enclave, it was still captured. And the North King gave himself this idea, which was nothing more than to drag down a part of the new force of the East King Mansion by himself, so that he could better let go of his hands and feet on the frontal battlefield.
Moreover, Ye Guan promised that even if he surrendered, the position of the leader of the enclave would still be his own, and the Dongwang Mansion would only occupy the enclave in name, but would not really participate in the internal governance of the enclave. In addition to the normal food and salary, the Dongwang Mansion will not take a penny more. As the strategic depth of the East Palace, the enclave is what the East Mansion hopes to see most is a peaceful handover, rather than a raging war.
As for why he didn't directly order all the sergeants to lay down their weapons, Ye Guan and the leader of the enclave had almost the same idea.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. If the order to surrender is really issued at this moment, not only the battlefield of Wufeng City, but also the entire enclave will be involved in the boundless war, and the enclave, which has just been unified, will fall into division again.
What the leaders of the Eastern Wangfu and the enclave want is a unified enclave, not a city and a pool.
The gates of Wufeng City were closed, and after the order of Wufeng City to surrender to the East Wangfu was announced in the city, it did not cause an uproar in the city.
Because the leader of the enclave is still there, the leader of the enclave, leading the soldiers of Wufeng City, unified the entire territory of the enclave, and his majesty in Wufeng City is equivalent to the majesty of the East King in the East Palace. His command is his will.
Since then, the defense of Wufeng City has begun to be interspersed with shifts, and each squad of sergeants has been fused and formed by the defenders of Wufeng City and the sergeants of Dongwangfu in order to better complete the defense matters.
And the leader of the enclave can now finally return to his dormitory and rest.
At night, the bright moon is in the sky, and the lights in Wufeng City are already bright.
Ye Guan sat in the main hall of Wufeng City, his face sinking like water.
He did everything he could in Wufeng City, and he did it to the extreme. What happens outside depends on the rest of your life.
If the rest of his life can maintain his combat effectiveness and kill near Wufeng City, then Ye Guan and Yu Shengli should join forces with the outside, and the outside defense sergeant will be caught off guard, and the battle of Wufeng City will be safely won.
When Ye Guan was thinking about the future movements, for the rest of his life, with a group of troops, after repairing, he took advantage of the night to follow the mountain stream path and march in the direction of Wufeng City.
