Chapter 309: Escalation of the Fighting
When the 20,000 troops led by Ye Guan entered Zhu'an City, a series of unbelievable things happened, and at the same time, in the territory of the enclave, the second half of the district, Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan, were like a bamboo.
The two of them led the team separately, drove straight in, and in a few days, they took several cities, almost did not encounter any resistance, and the cities in the second half of the entire enclave seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the Dongwangfu army, and then the city surrendered.
This also made Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan's progress very fast, and they were about to take the entire territory of the enclave.
Huang Yongning has been in Wufeng City for the past few days, and has been receiving good news from Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan, but there has been no news from Ye Guan, and his heart is full of things.
The most important points of the enclave, Blackstone Bridge, Wufeng City, Leyang City, Qiuchang City.
Now the Black Stone Bridge and Wufeng City are under control, and only Qiuchang City and Leyang City remain. Tian Yuanbai, the lord of Leyang City, is upright and dedicated to the people, which coincides with the concept of the East Palace, and does not need to be conquered by force. Therefore, the top priority of taking down the entire enclave is only Qiu Changcheng.
Before setting out on the expedition, several people had analyzed in detail what might happen in Qiu Changcheng together, and found out that the city lord Shen Tuyan might have clues that there might be a hidden master behind him, plus Shen Tuyan would do whatever it took to achieve his goal, and regarded the people as ants, and the people behind him were likely to cultivate death and cultivate to a high level, so they sent Ye Guan, who had the highest ability and cultivation, to go, but a few days had passed, and there was no news, which made Huang Yongning a little anxious.
Wufeng City, calm and calm. Ten thousand defenders are stationed, and there is no force in the enclave that can threaten Wufeng City.
Every day, Huang Yongning would go outside the main hall of Wufeng City to feel the fluctuations of the formation inside the main hall.
The thick power of nature overflowed from the main hall, and Huang Yongning stood outside the main hall, looking at the faint fluorescent barrier outside the hall, frowning slightly.
In the past few days of observation, he did not find any problems with this large array from the outside, and all signs showed that this array was no different from the ordinary Gathering Source Array, but it was much larger than the ordinary formation.
This formation was arranged by the combined efforts of three Venerable-level powerhouses, if they were just to gather the power of nature, Huang Yongning would never believe it. Besides, after the formation was arranged, why did the defensive barrier be arranged outside, if there were no secrets in it, why bother.
Since entering the enclave, Huang Yongning has always had a faint sense of crisis in his heart, which feels a bit mysterious, obviously now the Dongwang Mansion has an advantage in the enclave, but this sense of crisis has never disappeared. I wanted to catch it, but I couldn't.
This feeling made Huang Yongning a little irritable, and Ye Guan had no news, which made him feel even worse.
Previously, he reported the progress of the enclave to Huang Yuanwu, but there was no follow-up. I don't know how to proceed after taking the entire territory of the enclave.
Sighing softly, Huang Yongning returned to the temporary office of Wufeng City, Liu Tianyi, the lord of Wufeng City, has been working here for the past few days, diligently.
After Huang Yongning took over Liu Yuanzhen to guard Wufeng City, Liu Tianyi became more diligent, dealing with matters all night every day, and solving the things that Wufeng City had been squeezing one by one, which also made Huang Yongning have a not bad impression of Liu Tianyi. Although Liu Tianyi is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, he is a good hand at handling things.
It's just that Huang Yongning also has the same question, how did a person like Liu Tianyi dominate the entire enclave, and how could such a greedy person who is afraid of life and death be able to lead a large army and fight on the battlefield? You must know that the war in the enclave has lasted for thousands of years, but Liu Tianyi was born out of thin air, and in a very short period of time, he should also be a figure similar to the king of the east, but from the point of contact, his level is far from enough.
Huang Yongning entered the front hall of the mansion and sat straight on the first seat, Liu Tianyi handled the official documents, and was in the front hall, and when he saw Huang Yongning coming in, he got up and saluted respectfully.
Huang Yongning glanced at him, and his doubts became even worse.
......
Pray for heaven, East Palace.
After sending Huang Yuchen away, Huang Yuanwu could finally breathe a sigh of relief and start dealing with some thorny problems.
First of all, the generals who surrendered to the enclave should be properly resettled one by one, these people are the indigenous generals of the enclave, and there are still many places to rely on them when they take the enclave in the future. And their leader, Liu Tianyang, after entering the Dongwang Mansion, seemed to have returned to his own home, drinking and chatting with his generals every day in the mansion that Huang Yuanwu had arranged for him, as if he didn't care about the enclave at all.
This change made Huang Yuanwu find it interesting, Liu Tian raised 40,000 mercenaries, surrendered without a single knife or shot, and even took all the generals to the boundary of the Dongwangfu, not worrying that the Dongwangfu would be unfavorable to him, as if all this was logical.
Although he found it interesting, Huang Yuanwu didn't have much contact with Liu Tianyang, a high-ranking general in this enclave, because he had more important things to deal with.
On the front line of the imperial capital, there was a battle report.
The rebellion of the Three Kings suddenly entered the final stage. The king of the north has a tendency to win a big victory, while the king of the west and the king of the south are losing and retreating, even if the two sides join forces, they have no ability to compete.
The scout reported that a few days ago, several Changhongs suddenly appeared on the battlefield of the Empire, shooting at the camp of the West King and the South King respectively, and reappeared a moment later, returning to the camp of the North King, suspected to be a Venerable-level master.
Such a change made Huang Yuanwu's brows furrowed, and his heart was shocked.
After chatting with his uncle Xu Xiuping, Huang Yuanwu realized that the sect realm was likely to be involved in the imperial battle, and there were many top masters among them. But I guessed that the other three kings were in contact with each other, and they had their own hole cards with each other, even if it was the East Wangfu, there were also seniors in the sect world to help, not to mention the other three kings who had been fighting on the front line.
But things are beyond Huang Yuanwu's expectations, in terms of absolute combat power, the Northern Wangfu occupies an absolute advantage, and the Changhong in the mid-air that the scouts saw before must be a Venerable master, and there is more than one.
Things have come to this point, and the situation is very clear.
The king of the north, with the intention of pointing directly at the throne of the emperor, he had been forbearant before, colluding with the king of the west and the king of the south to send troops to kill the god capital, and the east palace sent troops to the king of Qin, Yang Qin rebelled, the king of the east died in battle, the emperor died, and then the border of the east palace was frequent, he was too busy to take care of himself, the enclave war was in a stalemate, Huang Yuanwu was attacked in the east palace and almost died, and now, several venerable masters suddenly appeared. Everything has the shadow of the North Palace.
In other words, there is the shadow of Xu Feng.
Huang Yuanwu sat in the study, holding his forehead with his hand, looking at the letter placed on the desk, his brows furrowed.
Everything is directed at the North Palace, and Huang Yuanwu knows that it is the first strategist of the North Palace, Xu Feng, who planned all this.
It's just that until now, he doesn't know what Xu Feng's real purpose is.
If he only had the intention of helping the Northern King ascend to the throne, then when he came to the East Palace, he would definitely not spare his life. You must know that the king of the east died because of this incident, and the revenge of killing his father is not shared, no matter who planned this matter, the entire east king's mansion will not die. However, Xu Feng did not be ruthless to himself, otherwise, with the original Venerable Master, even if he had the protection of the secret guard, it was still very possible to kill himself with injuries.
But if Xu Feng's purpose is not this, what will it be......
Moreover, why can the Northern Wangfu gather many Venerable masters to work for it, the Venerable masters are already considered to be the top combat power in the world, they are familiar with the art of the five elements, they fly in the sky, and they have a long life. In this world, it can be said that the wind is windy, and the rain is rainy, what is the great thing that the Northern Wangfu has come up with, so that several Venerables can work for them, so that regardless of their identity, they go straight into the secular military camp to threaten a border king.
Huang Yuanwu felt that his thinking was stuck by something, and he deduced it to this point, and he couldn't take another step forward no matter what.
He could already foresee the rest of the matter, with the defeat of the other two kings, the northern king would enter the imperial capital as soon as possible, so as to enter the imperial city, enter the inner city, and occupy the entire imperial capital. After that, it is to announce to the world that the new emperor will be established, and the right of the northern emperor to pray for heaven at the beginning will reach its peak.
If you become a king or lose a villain, what remains is the crusade against the three kings of the border, and if you don't obey, you will definitely suffer a catastrophe. And among the targets of the crusade, it must include the East Palace.
It is still unclear whether Yang Qin, who suddenly rebelled, was arranged by the Northern King, if so, then between the Northern Wangfu and the Eastern Wangfu will be an endless mortal enemy.
There is not much time left, if you don't send troops before the king of the north enters the imperial capital, after the king of the north enters the imperial capital and improves the city defense, there will be no chance to turn over......
"It's really damn ......," Huang Yuanwu scolded secretly.
Although he saw things clearly, he now did not have the ability to send troops to the imperial capital, and he was against the thief Yang Qin.
The main force of the Eastern Palace, part of which was taken to the enclave by Huang Yongning, is currently in the midst of a campaign, and even if it is withdrawn now, it will take several days. The other part was led by Huang Yanghui to consolidate the northern border defense, and at this moment it has been killed out of the pass and pacified the northern countries again, although the war is progressing smoothly, but if you want to retreat now, it is impossible.
The remaining troops of the Eastern Wangfu are only sixty or seventy thousand troops, and even if these troops are all pushed to the front line, they are by no means the opponents of the Northern Wangfu, and at this moment, there is only one way.
Although Huang Yuanwu was extremely reluctant to choose such a method, he had no choice but to do so.
The idea was decided, Huang Yuanwu took out the secret letter paper and immediately wrote the letter. The same letter was written, and two were written, and scouts were immediately dispatched to the camps of the West and South Kings as soon as possible, and the two kings were invited to open them in person.
From the East Palace, it takes fifteen days to march normally, and it takes at least five or six days to speed up the horse, and Huang Yuanwu only hopes that in these five or six days, the other two kings will not collapse again and again.
In the middle of the night, in the study room of the quiet Middle East Palace, there was a soft sigh of Huang Yuanwu.
Xu Xiuping's whole body was wrapped in a black cloak, and he was about to push open the door of the study, but he heard Huang Yuanwu's long sigh, and he couldn't help but move in his heart and stopped.
Although as a member of the sect, Xu Xiuping is not interested in secular hegemony, and he does not know much about it. But he has seen the recent changes in the sect realm. The sect alliance has existed in name only, this time the chaos in the heavens, all the sects want to share the benefits from it and strengthen their own sects, among the forces of praying for the sky, there may only be the East Wangfu, and there is no sect in the sect realm to take the initiative to contact.
There are two reasons, one is that the East Wangfu is the farthest away from the hinterland of Qitian, and it is very inconvenient to unite. The second is because the Eastern King Huang Yeyu has always drawn a clear line with the sect realm, and since he became the king of the East of the Heavens, he has cut off all contacts with the sect realm.
Xu Xiuping is too clear about these people in the sect world, before coming to the East Palace, Xu Xiuping has already thought very clearly, if the East Palace is a pure land, he will directly move the sect here and continue to cultivate. If not, he will continue to migrate with his apprentices and leave the land of right and wrong.
But when he arrived at the Dongwang Mansion, he got the news of the death of his junior brother Huang Yeyu, and then Xu Xiuping decided that he would not leave without this matter.
Standing outside the study, Xu Xiuping paused, his eyes flickered, and then turned to leave, slowly turning into a little fire and disappearing.
