"Little prince. Hearing Huang Yuanwu's words, General Sha Shaoyuan frowned slightly, and replied in a low voice: "Now there are only 40,000 troops in the camp, and it is dangerous to survey and defend the Canglan River...... There will be holes in the defense. ”

"Little prince. Another general took a step, clasped his fists with both hands, this general looked like a middle-aged man, tall and mighty, with a dark complexion, more than eight feet tall, wearing armor on his body, looking at the extraordinary bravery, this person's name is Cui Chi, is Sha Shaoyuan's deputy general, and he is also a veteran of the battlefield, with great achievements. I saw him take a step, hugged his fists and said: "What the Shajiang army said is right, these 40,000 troops survey and defend the enclave to attack, if there are 10,000 less troops, enter the enclave, if you can hand over safely, everything will be fine, if you can't hand over, only 10,000 troops, entering the enclave is like a mud cow entering the sea, it can't play a key role, if the enclave army comes to attack at this time, I'm afraid my Dongwangfu will be in danger." ”

The remaining six generals are all reconsidered. Their worries are not unreasonable, the mission of all the garrison generals is to defend the East Prince's Mansion, and when the old prince left, he gave orders. Moreover, there has been a confrontation between the Dongwangfu army and the enclave for a long time, and they know the situation of the enclave very well, not to mention the 10,000 horses that enter it, even if all the 40,000 horses stationed in the enclave enter the enclave, the people of the enclave will not be able to hand over all the cities if they do not resist.

Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly, looked at the eight generals below, and said in a deep voice: "At present, there is no war between the north and the south, to the north to the endless sea, all the enemy forces have been ambushed, and they have long been calmed down, to the south of the Songshan Mountains, there is no one for thousands of miles, at this moment, my Dongwang Mansion only needs to defend the Canglan River, besides, Yang Hui has gone out to collect the sergeants, and he is rushing back at the moment, and he will arrive in a few days, and the sergeants will return to the camp and expand the defense, what is there to fear?"

As soon as Huang Yuanwu said this, everyone was silent and stopped talking. They knew in their hearts that since the little prince said so, it was already a decision had been made, the king of the east was not there, Huang Yuanwu was the king of the east, and none of the soldiers would contradict his order, nor would they touch the mold of Huang Yuanwu head-on.

It's just that in Sha Shaoyuan's heart, he still feels that this matter is faintly dangerous.

It is no secret that the East King was besieged, and most of the generals knew about it soon after Huang Yuanwu knew the news, and the East King's order: All the children will wait for the day and swear to return to the country. It is also deeply imprinted in the hearts of every general.

But the king is a king, he will be a general, no matter how resentful he is in his heart, he must obey the military order, which is the style of the Dongfu army all along.

The Dongwangfu has been in trouble for decades, fighting in all directions, and laying a great territory for praying for the sky. This has nothing to do with the strict discipline, loyalty, and courage of the Dongfu army, and the clear distinction between the upper and lower levels.

And what Huang Yuanwu said is also true, after years of fighting, the expansion of the East Mansion has seen the end, the east has hit the Canglan River, the north has hit the endless sea, all the forces before the coast, villages and towns, and self-contained small countries have been returned to the command of Qitian and included in the territory of Qitian. To the south, the area is extremely wide, there is a towering mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, and the power of the Eastern Mansion has also touched here, and the north of the mountain range is full of the territory of praying for heaven.

The twenty cities under the rule of the East Wangfu are in the endless Hainan, the west of the Canglan River, and the north of the nameless mountain range.

It is about a thousand miles away from the endless sea, and there are dozens of cities, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Qitian Empire, here, to the twenty cities of Dongfu, but there is still a valley of natural danger, for Dongwangfu, in the north, there is no war.

In the south, before reaching the Endless Mountain Range, the cities and countries were scarce, all of them had been conquered, and the time to be conquered was still short, the war had just subsided, they needed to recuperate, and there would be no threat to the Eastern Palace, in the south, there was no war.

At present, there are only two directions that threaten the Dongwang Mansion.

To the east, the Canglan River, the Black Stone Bridge, the enclave.

To the west, thousands of miles of fertile fields, gentle hills, beyond the twenty cities, there are no mountains, a small number of jungles, gurgling rivers, and in the west, it is the hinterland of prayer.

At this moment, the other three kings are taking care of themselves, fighting for the priority of entering the imperial capital, and Xiao Yibo and Yu Sheng are currently under the rule of Pingjin City, the westernmost part of the Twenty Cities, training soldiers and building blades, and the recruits originally trained in Wuxing City also continue to practice under Ye Guan's arrangement. Even if he is transferred away for the rest of his life, Xiao Yibo will still guard the west, and he has soldiers and food under him, and he is not afraid of others invading.

And the enclave in the east is the top priority in the plan behind the East Palace, and the strategic depth must be taken, which all the generals know well.

It's just that the long-term confrontation has made all the generals know the enclave very well in their hearts, and 10,000 horses entering the enclave are indeed like mud cows entering the sea, and they can't make any big waves. If these 10,000 horses and the three city lords were all lost in the enclave, it would be an unbearable loss for the entire Dongwang Mansion.

It is precisely because of this that the two generals, Sha Shaoyuan and Cui Chi, said that the border defense was overstretched, and reminded Huang Yuanwu from the side that it was extremely dangerous to do so.

But Huang Yuanwu knew in his heart that with his understanding of Ye Guan, if he didn't have some certainty, he wouldn't send such news back. Ye Guan must have known that the troops in the Dongwang Mansion were empty at this moment, and he could mobilize at most 10,000 horses, but he still sent back the news.

In this way, these 10,000 people are very important to Ye Guan.

Although the number of people is small, it depends on who is using it and who the generals are.

In the Dongwang Mansion, in addition to the talents of the East King Tianzong, Wen Taowu is the top, and the people under his command are only Ye Guan and Ning Yi, who can be called generals and talents. This 10,000 army in the hands of Ye Guan will definitely be able to play a surprising role in victory.

Moreover, Huang Yanghui and Huang Yongning are about to return, bringing back a large number of Dongfu soldiers, and with the living force, they can immediately be stationed into the enclave.

"Order!" Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly, and when he saw that the eight generals did not have a single word, he shouted loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the eight generals immediately stood up and knelt on one knee.

"Sha Shaoyuan, Cui Chi listens to orders. ”

"The end will be. General Sha and General Cui immediately shouted loudly.

"Order the two of you to act, order 10,000 horses and horses, select all the elite troops in the battalion, prepare food and grass, and prepare for the battle. Huang Yuanwu ordered loudly, not angry and arrogant, exuding a faint majesty, and the temperament of the king was undoubtedly revealed.

"The last general's order!" the two generals shouted in unison.

"The rest of the generals, prepare their men and horses, strictly guard to the death, and a few days before the return of the army, there must be no mistakes. ”

"Honorable Order!"

"Good. Seeing that all the generals had received the order, Huang Yuanwu nodded and said, "Generals, please get up, General Sha stays, and the rest of the people wait, retreat." ”

After Huang Yuanwu finished speaking, all the generals got up, except for Sha Shaoyuan, the remaining seven generals all retreated and slowly pushed out of the camp.

After withdrawing with all the generals, Huang Yuanwu looked at Sha Shaoyuan who was left behind, and at this moment, Sha Shaoyuan's face was still full of worry.

"Sha Jiangjun, sit down. Huang Yuan Wu smiled at Sha Shaoyuan and asked the old general to sit down.

"Thank you, little prince. Sha Shaoyuan bowed to Huang Yuanwu, then sat down, looked at Huang Yuanwu with a worried face, and said: "Little prince, in such a hurry, sending 10,000 horses into the enclave, the old minister is still a little worried in his heart. ”

"I know that Shajiangjun is worried. Huang Yuanwu said softly: "However, it has been some time since General Leader Ye entered the enclave, and only now did this news come, and sent back the seal letter of the leader of the enclave, with this seal, it is a rare opportunity to open the gate of the enclave, take the Black Stone Bridge in one fell swoop, and open up the passage into the enclave." Besides, I believe in General Leader Ye's ability. ”

"Needless to say, General Leader Ye. Sha Shaoyuan said: "The old minister also believes in Commander Ye, but these 10,000 horses are too few, the enclave is extremely wide, these 10,000 horses enter the enclave, enter the mud cow and enter the sea, I am afraid that I can't make any waves." ”

"These 10,000 horses are the vanguard army. Huang Yuanwu looked at Sha Shaoyuan and said softly: "This time, I arranged for Sha Jiangjun to go with Yu Sheng, mainly for two purposes. ”

When Sha Shaoyuan heard this, his eyes lit up, he didn't speak, he looked at Huang Yuanwu, his eyes were shining.

"After entering the enclave, the Shajiang Army needs to stay on the city wall to ensure that the Black Stone Bridge is through, and when Yang Hui returns with a large group of men, I will immediately let him lead the troops to the enclave, and then hold the seal letter in hand, and take all the enclave cities along the way, if you don't obey, attack the city directly, and fight all the way to Wufeng City." Huang Yuanwu's voice was not loud, but every word clearly came into Sha Shaoyuan's ears.

"Yu Sheng led the rest of the men and horses straight to Wufeng City, and within a few days, he cooperated with General Leader Ye to take Wufeng City, and then the army was pressing, and the inside and outside should be combined, even if the leader of the enclave had more means, he would not be able to use it. ”

When Sha Shaoyuan heard this, his eyes were shining.

Huang Yuanwu's strategy is a good strategy, but this strategy is dangerous and dangerous, if there is a mistake in any place, it will be completely defeated.

He now understands why he let go of all the things in the garrison and go to the enclave with the army, and why he quickly transferred the rest of his life to the front line.

All this is because this matter is so important that Huang Yuanwu does not hesitate to send the most experienced generals existing in the Eastern Palace.

After thinking about it for a while, Sha Shaoyuan immediately understood what Huang Yuanwu meant.

On the surface, the army was stationed to go straight to Wufeng City, but in fact, in order to deceive the Black Stone Bridge and open the way.

With the enclave seal in hand, it is not difficult to open the gate, but it will definitely take a lot of effort to take over the defense of the Blackstone Bridge.

"The old minister understood. Sha Shaoyuan said softly: "Obey the order, the old minister will definitely use all his strength to take the Black Stone Bridge." ”

"I will also inform the rest of the city lord about taking the Black Rock Bridge. Huang Yuan Wu said: "This is the top priority of this expedition, the old general only needs to do this well, and the rest, don't think about it." ”

When Sha Shaoyuan heard this, he straightened up, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Respect the order." ”

After saying that, he nodded at Emperor Yuanwu, turned around and went out.

All the matters were explained clearly, Sha Shaoyuan had nothing to ask, and when he left the camp, he immediately began to arrange matters.

Huang Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief, this place had been arranged, he walked out of the camp and went back to the East Palace.
