Chapter 404: Assemble
In the early morning of the next day, the front hall of the East Palace, the main hall of the meeting.
Huang Yuchen stood outside the front hall early and waited quietly. At this stage, the new guards and guards in the palace, no matter how they don't think about it, they also know that Huang Yuchen can't be a simple general, there must be a high-level of the East Wangfu where he appears, and Huang Yuchen's identity is almost about to come out. It's just that the death of the young son of the East Mansion has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people who don't know just think that Huang Yuchen is a new high-level of the palace, and he has any special ability.
Huang Yuchen was the first to arrive, and the second one who came was his second brother Huang Yongning, the three Huang Yanghui, and the two city lords Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan. Xiao Yibo was still in charge of recruiting in Pingjin City, and there was no way to go to the palace, but Huang Yuanwu's order had been issued, and the construction of fortifications near Pingjin City had now begun to be implemented.
Following Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan was Ding Jiang with an expressionless face. When he learned that Kou Long was killed in Zhu'an City, he was heartbroken, although the two did not deal with each other on the surface and grabbed each other's merits, but they were real comrades-in-arms for more than ten years, sharing life and death. Kou Long's death was a great blow to Ding Jiang, who had been depressed and unhappy for the past few days, with no smile on his face. His injuries were almost healed, as most of them were skin injuries that could heal after a period of rest. It's just a wound in his heart, and he doesn't know when it will heal.
Regarding the fact that Kou Long was resurrected by Tianqing City with the Death Qi Method, Huang Yuanwu did not tell too many people, except that he and Huang Yuchen listened to Ye Guan tell him, and only Huang Yongning knew a little about it. Because this matter is so shocking, the best option is not to spread it.
Before everyone reached the antechamber, two guards stepped forward and opened the door of the antechamber, and everyone rushed in, sitting on the chairs on the left and right of the antechamber. The rules of the East Palace's Mansion are not so big, and everyone is relatively casual, but they know that Huang Yuanwu may announce some big moves today, so everyone is preoccupied.
Huang Yuchen didn't take a seat, he walked straight to the front seat in the middle, and stood respectfully behind the first seat with a calm face. In recent days, he has had the most contact with the third brother, and the second brother has not seen him many times because he is in charge of the affairs of the army. As for the eldest brother Huang Yuanwu, since he came back, Huang Yuchen has never seen him, he is bored in the study every day, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
In the past few days, Huang Yuchen has been unrestrained, and even went to Rongbao City, which is not far away, with his third brother. When Ye Guan left, the follow-up matters of Rong Bao City were arranged in an orderly manner, Rong Bao City was operating normally, and Ye Guan's team had governed Rong Bao City very steadily, and the residents in the city did not have the slightest feeling that a war was about to start, and they had been living a comfortable life.
The two brothers stayed in Rongbao City for a day, and when they left, the third brother Huang Yanghui told him that he was fighting bloody battles on the front line to protect the comfortable life of the people in the rear city, and he could give everything for this.
The third brother Huang Yanghui gave himself the feeling that he had always been a reckless man, he only knew how to shout and kill, he was fine on weekdays, and he was just wandering around after training. It wasn't until now that Huang Yuchen knew that in the third brother's heart, there were things that he absolutely had to protect. These occupy an absolute position in the third brother's heart.
There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, and for a moment, when he heard the voice in the back hall, Huang Yuchen immediately retracted his thoughts, turned his head to look, and saw that Huang Yuanwu was wearing a suit of armor and was walking up from the back hall, and behind him, there were two people, these two people were dressed a little strangely, and they didn't seem to be in the army.
Huang Yuanwu stepped forward, glanced at Huang Yuchen, and did not speak, but Huang Yuchen saw some changes in the eldest brother's face, this change was indescribable, his eyes were more determined, and the bloodshot in his eyes seemed to be more.
Sitting down in the first seat, everyone in the hall got up one after another and saluted Huang Yuanwu, who waved his hand slightly and motioned for everyone to sit down.
The two people who followed Huang Yuanwu stood silently aside, their faces calm, because the two of them were dressed differently, Huang Yuchen took a few more looks, these two people were wearing tight robes, they looked very capable, their breath was symmetrical, and they looked like they were cultivated. When Wang Fuzhong had these two more people, Huang Yuchen didn't know at all, and he didn't know what the eldest brother meant by calling them over.
"Gather everyone over, there are a few things to say. Just as Huang Yuchen was thinking about these two people, he heard Huang Yuanwu say something in a deep voice, and he hurriedly withdrew his mind and listened carefully to Huang Yuanwu's words.
Huang Yuanwu sat on the first seat, sitting upright, not angry and arrogant, with no expression on his face, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said again: "There are some things that don't have to be hidden." Now it is clear that the father has died in battle in the imperial capital, and there are no bones, and the culprit is Yang Qin, who now occupies the imperial capital. ”
This matter, everyone here has heard of it, but it has never been said publicly, this matter is an open secret in the Dongwang Mansion, and there is also a tacit understanding among the high-level people, they all know each other, and they don't talk about this matter, but they don't know what Huang Yuanwu means by saying this now.
For a while, in the hall, there was no sound, and everyone looked at Huang Yuanwu, waiting for his words.
"The enclave plan failed, because Tianqing City behind the scenes of the enclave has made a move, he threatened the lives of all our soldiers in the enclave to let Commander Ye join Tianqing City, Commander Ye has joined Tianqing City in a helpless situation, and now, there is no news. Huang Yuanwu continued to speak and said about Ye Guan.
Regarding Ye Guan's joining Tianqing City, not everyone is clear, including Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan, only the Huang Yuanwu brothers know Ye Guan's exact whereabouts, and Huang Yongning has always been difficult to talk about this matter, after all, he is the commander-in-chief of the enclave plan and has been responsible for all matters in the entire enclave. But in the end, this matter failed, but Ye Guan was in danger alone, and every time he thought about it, Huang Yongning felt embarrassed.
He lowered his head, his mood very complicated. Ye Guan went to Tianqing City, he originally thought that his eldest brother would not make it public, but now that he said it, he didn't know what his intentions were.
"Because of the relationship between Commander-in-Chief Ye, all the soldiers in the enclave were able to withdraw, and for the enclave, our royal mansion's plan was a complete failure. Huang Yuanwu continued: "Telling you this is to make everyone clear about what the palace is facing now. ”
Saying that, Huang Yuanwu got up, frowned slightly, looked at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, Yang Qin, the enemy of the palace, is still in the imperial capital. A large sect in the territory of Qitian has more or less joined in this turmoil, wanting to get a piece of the pie in the chaos of the empire. Even the northern tribes are also ready to move, and there is a faint trend of making a comeback. My Eastern Wangfu is favored by the emperor, and there are hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, if I am still indifferent in such a situation, how can I be a minister, how can I be a son!"
As soon as Huang Yuanwu's voice fell, everyone instantly understood his intentions, this time he called everyone over, Huang Yuanwu's meaning was to enter the imperial capital.
Liu Yuan and Huang Yanghui immediately got up, clasped their fists, and said in a deep voice: "If the little prince intends to attack the imperial capital, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"
Huang Yuanwu glanced at Liu Yuan and Huang Yanghui, waved his hand slightly, motioned for the two to sit down, and then continued: "In the enclave, Tianqing City is about to move, I don't know what is planned, although the Blackstone Bridge in the enclave has been destroyed, there is no guarantee that the rear is foolproof. At this moment, although my palace is strong and strong, and there is enough food and grass, once the war starts, it will not happen overnight, so I will gather everyone to discuss the matter. What to do in the face of the situation before and after. ”
After speaking, Huang Yuanwu looked around at everyone and sat back. Huang Yuchen listened inexplicably behind him, when Ye Guan left before, he had a long talk with his eldest brother, although he didn't understand what he heard, but he also knew that Ye Guan had designed the direction of the East Wangfu behind him to the eldest brother. There is everything about how to deal with the enclave Tianqing City, how to keep the Dongwang Mansion in the chaos of the empire, when to attack, how to develop the depth of the strategy, and how to expand. Why are you in such a hurry for so many high-level deliberations now?
After Huang Yuanwu finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought. They didn't know much about the enclave before, especially Liu Yuan and Yu Sheng, the battle ahead was obviously going well, but Huang Yongning suddenly ordered the whole army to retreat, in order to let the two come back, he did not hesitate to say that he and Ye Guan were not on good terms. At the time, I was a little confused, but now I finally know that it turned out that Tianqing City was making trouble behind it.
For Tianqing City, Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan didn't have a good impression. Especially Liu Yuan, he still remembers that when he was in Wufeng City, the three Venerables suddenly came to arrange the formation in the city, which was clearly a demonstration to the Eastern Palace. At that time, everyone still felt that there was something wrong with this formation, but now that they think about it, this may be one of Tianqing City's strategies, they just want to make everyone in the East Wangfu suspicious, and then achieve their goals.
In the end, step by step, the forces of the Eastern Wangfu were dispersed, and finally one move was made, forcing it into a dead end, so that Ye Guan had to give in. It's just that there is no news from Ye Guan so far, I don't know what the intention of Qingcheng is to force him to join after spending so much effort on this day.
After a while, Yu Sheng got up, clasped his fists at Emperor Yuanwu, and asked softly: "Little Prince, about the enclave Tianqing City, don't we have any way at all?"
Hearing this, Huang Yuanwu closed his eyes slightly, sighed softly, and said: "Chief Leader Ye has no choice, he said, with his cultivation, in front of Tianqing City, like ants, we, who is the opponent of General Leader Ye who has recovered as before?"
Yu Sheng immediately stopped talking, in the Dongwang Mansion, if you talk about combat power, Ye Guan is definitely a well-deserved first, he has no way, let alone others. How could Tianqing City really have the heart to attack the Dongwang Mansion in the enclave, I am afraid that all the generals who entered the enclave at that time would not be able to escape their fate.
Speaking of this, Ding Jiang in the hall frowned and didn't say a word, he especially wanted to ask Huang Yuanwu for his life, lead a team of soldiers into the enclave, and raze Tianqing City to the ground, but he knew that this was a fool's dream at all. He had really fought with the enclave sergeants, and he also knew the stakes involved, and the tens of thousands of well-trained sergeants that suddenly appeared near Zhu'an City now seemed to be indeed related to Tianqing City. In terms of frontal combat, even the scheming Ye Guan will eventually be calculated, not to mention himself.
Ding Jiang gritted his teeth fiercely and said nothing, he kept this grudge in his heart deeply, and he could only endure it before he had absolute strength.
"Little prince. At this time, Huang Yongning got up, bowed to Huang Yuanwu, and said softly: "In the matter of the enclave, there will be no shirkable responsibility in the end, and I will ask myself to defend the black stone city wall without taking half a step back." ”
Huang Yuanwu glanced at his second brother faintly, and replied softly: "This matter is not your fault, if you change anyone, it is impossible to do better than you, blame Tianqing City for being cunning, we have nothing to do if we want to use such means." I have already chosen the commander of the Blackstone City Wall, so you don't need to say more. ”
Indeed, if you change to any person, it is impossible to do better than Huang Yongning. If it weren't for Tianqing City's sudden movements, it wouldn't be long before the entire enclave would fall under the command of the East Prince's Mansion. But in the world, there is no if, if the Eastern Wangfu really dominates the entire enclave, it will inevitably become the puppet of Tianqing City in the end, and now all the people are withdrawn, which is the best result.
After this sentence, there was a long silence, and everyone had no way to do anything about the situation in front of them. The matter of the imperial capital is not bad, this is an internal matter of the empire, and the battle on the battlefield is what everyone in the East Wangfu is best at, but now there is a Tianqing City behind it, and God knows when they will kill them. If Tianqing City wants to get involved in praying for the sky, the first to bear the brunt is the East Wangfu. At this time, if the imperial capital was dispatched, it would undoubtedly give Tianqing City the opportunity to march into the Eastern Palace.
Huang Yuanwu looked around, and saw that everyone had no meaning to speak, so he couldn't help sighing, and said: "Ning Yining Military Division, he was attacked in Pingjin City, he has disappeared, his life and death are unknown, General Ye led him to Tianqing City, and it is impossible to return in a short time, and the rest of the matter is all up to us." ”
"Yang Hui. Saying that, Huang Yuanwu looked at Huang Yanghui and said softly: "I'll give you a thing, be sure to do it." ”
Huang Yanghui was stunned when he heard this, then immediately got up and arched his hand: "The last general will listen to the order." ”
"I order you to take 50,000 soldiers to the south, expand the territory, establish a city, and establish a depth for the king. Huang Yuanwu looked at Huang Yanghui faintly, and his tone was solemn.
