Chapter 940: Shi Fei's ambition
"It's not that hard. Huang Yuchen smiled at Zhuang Lexian and said: "It's like you told me about the world's affairs in the world, I just know the psychology of both of them, and I also know their bottom line." ”
"Knowing this, it is not difficult to guess what kind of move they will make. ”
"Well, I confess, I'm not as good as you when it comes to understanding the purpose of others on the battlefield. Zhuang Lexian sat casually on the snow beside him, not feeling cold at all. Huang Yuchen walked up to him and sat down, and at the same time said: "Actually, your previous words woke me up, I can't think about everything too simply, it's not so easy to restore and pray for heaven." ”
"In this world, not everyone recognizes our Dongwangfu and my eldest brother Huang Yuanwu. Therefore, it is necessary to move forward steadily and step by step. ”
"In the future, you still have to teach me more about winning over the hearts of the people. ”
Huang Yuchen said these words sincerely, he really artificially Zhuang Lexian is better than him in these aspects.
No matter how smart he is, because of his age, his experience is limited, unlike an old monster like Zhuang Lexian, who has seen and experienced everything.
Zhuang Lexian knows what people in this world want better than Huang Yuchen, and Huang Yuchen understands what his opponent thinks better than Zhuang Lexian.
The two can completely complement and fit together in these aspects, which is also something that Huang Yuchen couldn't have imagined before.
"Don't count on me. Zhuang Lexian said: "When you have a big city, I will live my days of drinking and drinking, what to win the hearts of the people or something, you do it yourself, I won't." ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he smiled, he knew Zhuang Lexian's temper, what he said was not good, but he had already written it down in his heart.
At this moment, Huang Yuchen received feedback from the feeder in his heart, and he had found traces of the advance of the team, and had found the position where Shi Fei was sitting now.
Through the energy fluctuations in his heart, Huang Yuchen determined the location of the current feeder, and then looked up at Zhuang Lexian and said, "After an hour, it will be here." ”
"Oh?"
Zhuang Lexian immediately became interested, sat up straight, rubbed his hands, and said, "I haven't moved for a long time, this time I can have a good time." ”
"Let's hide for a day, and everything will wait for Shi Fei's second attack to begin. ”
Huang Yuchen smiled slightly, sat cross-legged on the snow, and just began to operate the energy in his body in the ice and snow, and went to cultivate.
On the side, Zhuang Lexian looked boring, he couldn't cultivate in this way at all, he could only look left and right with nothing to do, and finally could only lie in the snow and sleep.
For monks of the level of Huang Yuchen and Zhuang Lexian, this ice and snow cold can no longer invade the body, let alone have any impact on the body, everything is just the same as usual.
............
Mingyuan City Shi Fei, his mood was a little heavy.
This person who has been a frontier official for ten years has finally waited for the opportunity that belongs to him.
Although the little prince of the East Palace, Huang Yuanwu, has become the new emperor of the heavens, it is inevitable that he will be replaced by others.
And for a person like Shi Fei, who has climbed from a small official to the position of city lord in ten years, who is the emperor actually has little to do with him.
Taking advantage of the turbulent stage of praying for the sky, he wants to rely on the hole cards in his hand to strive for greater benefits for himself as much as possible.
Ten years of official career in the frontier made him understand that the opportunity in front of him was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He was fed up with flattery, fed up with looking at others, and fed up with the days when he couldn't make his own decisions when he became the lord of the city.
Therefore, when everyone else was still waiting, Shi Fei became one of the first people to recruit troops.
Long before the Rebellion of the Three Kings began, when the Xiwang Mansion borrowed his Mingyuan City, he knew that the opportunity that belonged to him had arrived.
Immediately, Shi Fei sold his property, began to recruit troops and horses, and purchased a huge manor outside Mingyuan City to secretly train troops, waiting for the day of chaos in the empire.
And a few months ago, he finally waited for this opportunity.
The rebellion of the three kings subsided, and the East Wangfu finally won, praying that the heavens would change hands and the world would be in turmoil.
Shi Fei gathered his troops as quickly as possible, completely took down Mingyuan City where he was located, killed all the officials who did not obey his orders, and firmly held Mingyuan City in his hands.
But even so, he was not satisfied.
He thought that if one day the situation in the imperial capital calmed down, and he only had such a few hole cards in his hand, would he be settled by the imperial queen.
Therefore, he expanded again, this time no longer using Huairou methods, but wantonly looted the surrounding villages and towns, forcibly conscripted troops, and expanded his power.
Moreover, when the Xiwangfu retreated, many remnants of the Xiwangfu passed by Mingyuan City, and they were also absorbed by Shi Fei.
Therefore, when he was at his strongest, he had 70,000 horses, making him the largest warlord within a radius of 1,000 miles.
Now that the empire is weak, he has wantonly gathered people to expand his power under the banner of rising, and while expanding, his ambitions have also increased little by little.
What he didn't expect was that two months ago, the West Wangfu would actually make a comeback!
This time, it was the Western Emperor Chengbi who personally went out to fight, all the way into the hinterland of Qitian, collected the remnants of his army, and his power continued to grow, and even occupied several cities, step by step.
Looking at it like this, it is really going to launch a formation to compete with the imperial capital.
After hearing that the king of the West had returned, Shi Fei had absorbed a part of the army of the Western Prince's Mansion and went to take refuge, and overnight, his 70,000 horses became less than 60,000.
Shi Fei raised soldiers for the Xiwangfu for two months in vain, and in the end, the Xiwangfu not only did not have a word of thanks, but also sent a message to him to return!
How can there be such a truth in the world?
These family funds were saved by his Shifei little by little, how could he let people do it casually, he did all this not to compete with the imperial capital, but to better protect himself in the troubled times.
In Shi Fei's eyes, the West Palace, will definitely not be the opponent of the imperial capital, sooner or later, the imperial capital will be relieved and take all the West Palace.
If you can beat him the first time, you can beat him a second time.
Therefore, Shi Fei used the big chess to counter the rebellion and made a big move against the Xiwangfu with great fanfare.
He is not the only one who thinks the same as him, the more he goes into the interior of the Qitian Empire, the more cities there are, and the more big cities there are, among which there are many warlords like Shi Fei.
It's just that Shi Fei was more unlucky, and when he didn't have full wings, he met Xiwangfu head-on.
But it's okay, at the same time, there are also the city lords of several other cities who are fighting against the West Palace.
Shi Fei was not angry, so he summoned people and horses to fight a battle with the West Palace.
After a battle, Shi Fei actually won! He almost expelled the troops of Xiwangfu from the boundary of Chihong Mountain, leaving only two cities.
A Zhangyang City, a Yifeng City.
After this battle, Shi Fei's troops were left with less than 50,000 left.
Recently, he has been worried about this as well.
There seems to be a problem inside the Xiwang Mansion, the main force has been transferred away from the vicinity of Chihong Mountain, Yifeng City and Zhangyang City have become isolated cities, and without the main army to defend, they must not be Shi Fei's opponents.
How can I not see the importance of Yifeng City and Zhangyang City, as long as Yifeng City is taken, Zhangyang City will not be attacked, and then in the entire Chihong Mountain area, only his Shifei family will be dominant.
However, things were not as easy as he thought.
Recently, after marching into Yifeng City, after leaving the city, Fan Liao, the general of Ekang City, rebelled back, and returned to Ekang City with less than a thousand sergeants.
Many sergeants privately discussed that this Shi Fei was not the orthodox empire, and that they were fighting for Shi Fei's private forces, rather than a real counterinsurgency.
Now the emperor's younger brother appeared near Chihong Mountain, declaring that he was orthodox and had the holy will of the current saint, and his identity was unquestionable.
There are such rumors in the army, which is the biggest headache for Shi Fei.
Because the sergeant below may not know the truth of this matter, but his division is completely clear.
And he also clearly knew that this prince was called Huang Yuchen, and he even had a portrait of Huang Yuchen. And now that Huang Yuchen is in Ekang City, he is completely clear.
Therefore, Shi Fei felt heavy and conflicted.
If the family foundation he laid was given to this prince for no reason, he would definitely not be willing to do so.
But if he doesn't respect the prince, then he is a rebellion on the surface, he himself is nothing, and if the army below is unstable, what should he do?
It happened that the door of the West Palace's Mansion was opened, and Yifeng City and Zhangyang City were at his fingertips, and he would not give up such an opportunity.
Therefore, Shi Fei chose to go out first, and then take Yifeng City and Zhangyang City first.
After taking two cities, he will have the capital in his hands, and even if he sees the prince Huang Yuchen, he will also say.
He is not a rebellion, but to regain the lost territory for the empire, I heard that this prince is only seventeen years old, I am afraid that he is just a hairy boy who has not dried up, how can he understand the major affairs of the world.
When the time comes, he will know that he will be moved by emotion and reason, persuade him, and let him stay in his own city, won't he have a legitimate reason to conquer other cities?
When the time comes, in the name of the emperor, all the benefits will fall into his pocket.
The seventeen-year-old young prince only had a few retinues around him, and there was peace?
However, what makes Shi Fei's heart heavy now is not this prince Huang Yuchen, but what happened on the battlefield.
The waves of scouts he had sent to Yifeng City had never returned, and he had no idea what was going on in Yifeng City.
But even so, he must take Yifeng City, after all, this is the place where his dream began, and only by taking Yifeng City can he achieve the idea in his heart.
Become the greatest military law of Prayer Heaven, become the general who commands the soldiers and horses of Prayer Heaven, and become the pillar of Prayer Heaven!
He even thought of the young prince's tears of gratitude after he took the prince to regain the lost territory.
After the day, his exploits are big enough, and when the time comes, the new emperor will still not be the emperor Yuanwu of the East Palace, isn't it just his words?
Thinking of this, Shi Fei strengthened his eyes and ordered the troops to move forward quickly and go straight to Yifeng City.
However, Shi Fei is not a fool, he knows the power of Xiwangfu, so in the process of the army's advance, he kept shooting scouts to investigate, and finally when he was only half a day's journey away from Yifeng City, he figured out the situation of Yifeng City.
From the outside, it's empty!
Shi Fei smiled at the corner of his mouth, how could he believe such an obvious deception, so he ordered the troops to speed up their march and camp in front of Yifeng City!
It's just that Shi Fei's series of actions, in fact, were expected by Nie Yun, the guard of Yifeng City, and what was waiting for Shi Fei must not be a hospitable hospitality.
Soon, Shi Fei's vanguard troops walked out of the vast bushes and saw Yifeng City standing on the riverside in the distance.
According to Shi Fei's order, the troops immediately set up camp on the bank of the river, cut down the surrounding trees, and began to prepare siege equipment.
And all this did not escape Zhuang Lexian's eyes.
