Chapter 955: Next Steps

In the early morning, the repair work of the city wall of Yifeng City had been basically completed, and after a night, Huang Yuchen did not receive any information from the feeders.

It seems that the Xiwang Mansion has really given up on Yifeng City, but Huang Yuchen feels that something is not quite right.

Not only was there no trace of the Xiwangfu troops found in the direction of the north, but the direction of Zhangyang City was also very quiet, as if reinforcements had not been excluded at all.

The meaning of Yifeng City's existence seems to be to drag Mingyuan City so that they can't do other things.

After a night, Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, he couldn't think about this question clearly.

Because the information is not perfect, there are some things that Huang Yuchen doesn't know at all, but now the implementation is like this, if the West Wangfu really gave up Yifeng City, the actions they made before seemed to be just a show.

Huang Yuchen wondered if there would be such a possibility.

Xiwangfu deliberately lured Mingyuan City Shifei to attack Yifeng City, in order to let Mingyuan City send troops, so that there would be no other places to make trouble for Xiwangfu.

The Xiwang Mansion threw out the entire Chihong Mountain area as a bait to lure Mingyuan City to the vicinity of Yifeng City, but the real purpose of the Xiwang Mansion was in other directions.

But for now, in any case, it is still just speculation, and without the support of intelligence, any speculation and deduction have no factual basis.

Huang Yuchen has actually obtained everything he wants to obtain this time, and now he occupies Yifeng City, and the army of Mingyuan City is also under his control.

In the entire Chihong Mountain area, there is only one Zhangyang City left, and this city is surrounded, there is no road to the outside world, and the final choice is to surrender to Huang Yuchen.

Just as Huang Yuchen was thinking about this problem, there was a sudden burst of footsteps outside the door.

"Report!"

Huang Yuchen raised his head and frowned.

"Say!"

"Report to the Prince, last night the criminal Shi Fei escaped from the prison while the defenders were unprepared, and now he is missing!"

The little colonel who came in immediately shouted at Huang Yuchen in return, and after hearing the news, Huang Yuchen's brows suddenly furrowed.

This matter made him ignore it.

Shi Fei surrendered, he couldn't help himself, the sins on his body were difficult to wash away, Huang Yuchen planned to clean up Shi Fei after he took full control of Mingyuan City.

It's just that I didn't expect him to run away overnight.

Last night, the soldiers of the whole city were busy repairing the city walls and strengthening the defense, and no one wanted him to fly.

Huang Yuchen's feeders were also sent out, and there was no one to guard them.

"Who guarded the prison last night, bring me to see me!" Huang Yuchen frowned.

A Shi Fei is actually not enough to worry about, but the information in his mind is still very valuable.

If Shi Fei went to take refuge in the West Palace, it would be a threat to Huang Yuchen now.

After all, Shi Fei knows more about the situation in Chihong Mountain than Huang Yuchen, he has always been the city lord of Mingyuan City, and now there are many people in the army who are his henchmen.

Now that Shi Fei has fled, if he instigates the Xiwang Mansion to make a comeback, it will pose a great threat to Huang Yuchen.

Huang Yuchen frowned, and then, two soldiers pressed a sergeant and walked in, this sergeant entered the martial mansion, knelt directly on the ground, and did not say a word.

"Last night was your prison?" Huang Yuchen looked at the kneeling sergeant on the ground.

The sergeant was trembling with fright, and he only kowtowed so vigorously that he forgot to speak.

"When did you find out that Shi Fei is missing?" asked Huang Yuchen.

"Early this morning, someone went to the prison to deliver food, and found that the prison door was open, only to find that Shi Fei was missing. ”

"At that time, what were you doing as a guard?" Huang Yuchen looked at the sergeant who was kneeling on the ground again, and his heart was on fire.

The man trembled and couldn't say a word, he knew he had made a big mistake and would definitely not survive.

"When I found that Shi Fei was not reduced, this person was in a coma, not because he was drugged, but because he couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep!"

The two sergeants who pressed the sergeant up looked angry.

This was the first time they had done something in front of Huang Yuchen, and it was still a major matter of defending the city.

At this time, such a mistake would make Huang Yuchen suspicious of the entire Mingyuan City troops, and this was no longer his own problem as a sergeant.

"Pull it down, do it according to military law!" Huang Yuchen frowned and gave the order directly.

The two sergeants dragged the soldier straight down, but the soldier was already trembling and did not resist at all, so the two of them dragged him down.

Subsequently, this sergeant was corrected on the spot in the city of Yifeng City, and his life was lost in a daze.

At such a critical moment, he lost a key prisoner, which had an impact on the whole situation, and it was naturally impossible for this sergeant to live.

But the caretaker Shi Fei only let one person go, which was also Huang Yuchen's negligence, or rather, the negligence of all the generals in Mingyuan City.

From this little thing, Huang Yuchen saw a lot of problems.

He was wondering how many people in this unit were loyal to Shi Fei.

With so many sergeants in the city, why didn't anyone see Shi Fei fleeing.

Yifeng City is so big, if no one sees it at all, Huang Yuchen will never believe it.

But this is no longer the time to investigate the matter.

Shi Fei's escape will definitely lead to a series of chain reactions, and now Huang Yuchen is okay if he doesn't move, but a move will inevitably cause panic in people's hearts, which is the biggest taboo in the army.

Now although Huang Yuchen has obtained the command of the entire army, and to a certain extent, these sergeants have accepted him, but things are not as simple as they seem, and Huang Yuchen still has a long way to go if he wants to completely control this army.

The sergeants in the hall all went down, Zhuang Lexian walked out from the side, and asked Huang Yuchen softly: "Do you want me to get him back?"

Huang Yuchen thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There's no need, his escape may also be a good thing for us." ”

"You really have a big heart, he knows a lot of things, some things you don't know now, he knows everything. Zhuang Lexian said.

"That's why I say it's a good thing. Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and said, "If Shi Fei doesn't make trouble, how can I know who in the army is finally me, and who is loyal to him?"

When Zhuang Lexian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't speak again.

Huang Yuchen is right, there are two sides to everything. Shi Fei's escape may cause some unnecessary trouble, but for Huang Yuchen, this may not really be a bad thing.

If Shi Fei instigated the Western Palace's Mansion to come to conquer him, Huang Yuchen would immediately know who in the army was loyal to him and who had the heart to rebel.

It's just that now Shi Fei has just escaped, even if he goes to the Xiwang Mansion now, it is impossible for him to make a comeback immediately.

Now what Huang Yuchen needs to consider is whether to keep Yifeng City, or completely destroy Yifeng City, and return to Mingyuan City.

According to the strategic considerations, this Yifeng City is still very useful.

If Xiwangfu makes a comeback, Yifeng City is the only way to go, and leaving some defenders here can also give the rear more time to prepare.

It's just that when we discussed it before, what the generals said was not unreasonable.

Now Zhangyang City has not yet returned to Shun, and if you want to occupy Yifeng City, you must mobilize grain and grass from the direction of Mingyuan City.

There is a five-day distance between the two cities, and the safety of this grain route is a problem.

If you want to defend Yifeng City, then Zhangyang City, you must take it.

Only by completely occupying the entire Chihong Mountain area can Yifeng City embody its role, otherwise, this city is really just a chicken rib.

"The order was given to all the officers and men of the troops to repair in their place, and to leave the garrison on the city walls, no more than a hundred at a time. ”

Huang Yuchen thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth and gave an order.

When the junior colonel outside heard the order, he bowed to Emperor Yuchen and ran down quickly.

Huang Yuchen finally decided to attack Zhangyang City, and it was impossible for him to wait for Zhangyang City to surrender.

Before Zhangyang City surrenders, there may not be many other things happening, and it is safest to hold the city in your own hands.

The soldiers of Mingyuan City traveled a long way, and began to attack the city again before arriving at Yifeng City, and repaired the city after the siege ended, and it has reached the end of the strong crossbow, and now it must be repaired.

There is no difference between an army without strength and a rabble.

Huang Yuchen planned to give the sergeant two days to repair, and then he led part of his troops directly to Zhangyang City, but he hadn't thought about who would defend this Yifeng City yet.

These generals in Mingyuan City, Huang Yuchen is not familiar with any of them, they have just surrendered, and it is impossible for Huang Yuchen to hand over such an important transportation artery to a general who has just surrendered.

But Huang Yuchen came out this time, only Zhuang Lexian and twenty feeders followed, Zhuang Lexian was not a general at all, let him defend the city, it was better to let him die.

But to attack Zhangyang City, Huang Yuchen had to do it himself, and this matter suddenly became a problem for him.

There are too few people available at hand, which has always been a problem for Huang Yuchen.

The newly surrendered generals have not yet gained the trust of Huang Yuchen, and it is impossible for him to hand them over, and his own people are not around now.

Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Zhuang Lexian was glanced at by Huang Yuchen, and immediately trembled all over, and a bad premonition came to his heart, and he immediately said: "What do you kid look at?

"Lao Zhuang, I'll discuss something with you. Huang Yuchen rubbed his hands and looked at Zhuang Lexian.

"Don't, don't talk about it, Lao Tzu doesn't agree!" Zhuang Lexian immediately stood up, and when he saw Huang Yuchen's expression, he knew that he was not at ease.

"Hey, what are you afraid of, aren't you afraid of heaven and earth?" Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and said with a smile.

"Don't, I'm afraid of you. Zhuang Lexian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Can you be normal, what do you want to do and say it directly, don't look at me with this look." ”

"Can you go back to Ekang City and bring Wang Junliang to me?" Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and said what he thought in his heart.

Zhuang Lexian was stunned when he heard this, and then his brows furrowed.
