Chapter 234: Tianqing City
Seeing this, Ye Guan immediately pulled the reins of the horse, stopped the war horse, and at the same time raised one hand, and all the sergeants stopped one after another.
Cui Chi in front of him, saw a team of sergeants stopped in front of him from a distance, and immediately issued an order, the army immediately stopped advancing, and when he could see the people in front of him, Cui Chi was overjoyed, and immediately rode forward, until Ye Guan and the other three people were in front of him.
Turning over and dismounting, Cui Chi knelt directly on one knee and said loudly: "The last general, Cui Chi, meet City Lord Ye and City Lord Yu!"
Ye Guan nodded lightly, his face was full of smiles, Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen, when they saw the dense black-armored iron horses of the East Wangfu in the distance, a heroic heart immediately surged into their hearts.
Seeing reinforcements, they are finally not alone.
Not only Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen, but all the black-armored iron horsemen who had participated in the previous battles had a sense of relief at this moment. With so many reinforcements arriving, no matter what you do in the future, you have the bottom in your heart.
"General Cui, get up. Ye Guan smiled and looked at Cui Chi.
Cui Chi immediately got up, his face was full of excited smiles, he didn't expect to meet Ye Guan and Yu Sheng so soon, he wanted to lead the team of people and horses to advance directly from the enclave official road one by one.
"Well, this is not the place to talk. Ye Guan saw Cui Chi get up, and said softly: "Lead all the sergeants, let's go to the next city together and make a little repair." ”
"The last general's order!" Cui Chi immediately clasped his hands into fists, saluted Ye Guan and Yu Sheng, turned over on his horse, and returned to the team.
Ye glanced at Yu Sheng, and from Yu Sheng's eyes, he saw an excited look. Not only for the rest of his life, but almost all the sergeants had the same look.
The previous battle was too aggrieved. Although his own side greatly damaged the confidence of the enclave sergeants with few casualties, and killed more than 10,000 enemies. But the number of people was too small, and the rest of his life had to use all his means, so he spit out the encirclement, and the remaining 2,700 or so troops were originally going to enter the Wufeng City area and fight a decisive battle. But I don't want to go around the road.
Not only did he meet Ye Guan halfway, but under the leadership of Ye Guan, he also joined up with the reinforcements of the brigade.
At the moment, the situation in the enclave can be said to be very good.
Ye Guan almost single-handedly took Wufeng City, and defused the defenders in front of Wufeng City. Leaving Liu Yuan to guard Wufeng City can be said to be foolproof.
On the frontal battlefield, Yu Sheng greatly defeated Shen Tu Yan's army, and at this moment, Shen Tu Yan's army was exhausted, and he was still bent on surrounding Yu Sheng's troops in the Wufeng City area.
In terms of the city wall, with tens of thousands of reinforcements from the East Palace, and a veteran Sha Shaoyuan, who is good at defense, it can be said that it is solid.
If you wait until the army of the Eastern Wangfu returns and enters the enclave, the matter of the enclave can be calmed down.
At this moment, there was an inexplicable excitement in everyone's hearts.
Walking slowly on the official roads of the enclave, the pace of the army was not fast.
This is Ye Guan's intention, he wants to let the news go farther. This news is the surrender order issued by Liu Tianyi.
If you can not fight, try not to fight, which will not only reduce the casualties of your own soldiers, but also reduce the prejudice of the people of the enclave against the Dongwangfu.
According to Ye Guan's memory, not far ahead, he arrived at a city in the enclave, Tianqing City.
Tianqing City, surrounded by water on three sides, backed by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The area of the city is very large, and there are fertile fields in it, so it can be self-sufficient. This place is very well populated, and it is one of the few high-class cities in the enclave.
Legend has it that the enclave Tianqing City once produced the power of the Venerable, and this Tianqing is the name of the power of the Venerable. It is rumored that he single-handedly diverted two large rivers to flow through Tianqing City, irrigating the fields of Tianqing City, turning the originally arid land into fertile land, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment.
In the long history, there is no longer the original appearance of the time, and some are just legends.
Tianqing City is not on the official road of the enclave, and this city has not joined the unified enclave empire. In the entire enclave, Tianqing City was like a holy land, and even Liu Tianyi had never had the idea of Tianqing City.
Ye Guan chose this city, and he also had his ideas.
The rumors that the East Wangfu was in the enclave were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if he really took so many soldiers to the unified city of the enclave, not only would it not help in this matter, but it was also likely to have the opposite effect.
And Tianqing City is different, this is a city independent of the enclave, and it is clear that Tianqing City has a very high status in the hearts of the people of the enclave, after all, it is a city that has been rumored to have a venerable person. If Tianqing City can stand on the side of the East Palace, it will be great.
A short distance along the official road, there is a fork in the road, and in the distance, the sound of the waves of the rushing river can be faintly heard. Ye Guan did not hesitate, took the army, and walked straight in the direction of Tianqing City.
Walking up to this fork in the road, the sound of rushing water is endless, the road is not wide, and there are up to four knights walking side by side. Tens of thousands of sergeants, on the road, formed a long line, and slowly marched towards Tianqing City.
On both sides of the road, lush greenery, green grass, the river seemed to be in the valley beside it, and the sound of the waves was heard very closely, as if it were right in the ears.
Huang Yuchen only felt as if he had come to another place, which did not seem to be an enclave of Songshan Mountain, but a paradise.
The further they went, the narrower the road became, and in desperation, many sergeants rode their horses onto the meadow.
The hills on both sides are not too high, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, everything seems to be silent in the golden light, accompanied by the clear sound of the waves, a simple and majestic city, appeared in the distance.
Tianqing City is built under a high mountain, surrounded by mountains and waters. From a distance, under the golden sunset, the whole city seemed to exist in the clouds, and a mist was shrouded.
Ye Guan gently pulled the reins and stopped the horses. Immediately, all the sergeants, including Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen, stopped their horses one after another.
Twenty thousand sergeants stopped near Tianqing City and looked at Tianqing City from afar.
The place where we are now resembles a valley, but the hills on both sides are not high, and there is a vast plain in the middle, which is enough for 20,000 soldiers to station. On the other side of the hill is a large river that flows endlessly, and this place is more suitable for camping.
"All the sergeants are camped in place, Yu City Lord, Deputy General Ma, and please enter Tianqing City with me. Immediately, Ye Guan turned his head, looked at Cui Chi behind him, and said softly: "General Cui, I still bother you, stay in the camp and wait for us to come out." ”
Cui Chi was stunned when he heard this, he still had a lot to say to Ye Guan, and then opened his mouth and said: "City Lord Ye, there are still many things that the general has not yet told City Lord Ye......"
"I guessed it. Ye looked at Cui Chi and smiled: "Where I met you, there is a city behind you, if I guess correctly, this city has been occupied by you, and there has been no resistance, right?"
Cui Chi was stunned for a moment and said, "How did City Lord Ye know?"
"The sergeant you brought, though dusty, but there is no evil in his body, must have been through the battle, and the place where we met was higher than the time and place I calculated, proves that you passed through the city without encountering any obstacles. In this way, you did not encounter any resistance in the previous city, and when you left, you left a lot of defenders, I guessed correctly. ”
Cui Chi immediately nodded and said: "Lord Ye Cheng is like a god, what you said is right, we passed through the previous city, and indeed did not encounter resistance, after crossing the city, in order to protect the way out, the last general did leave the defenders, a brigade." ”
Ye Guan smiled lightly when he heard this, and immediately asked, "How is General Sha?
"There was no fighting. Cui Chi immediately replied: "It's also strange to say, the general of the enclave obviously has several times the military strength of our side, but he did not attack, and only sent scouts to inquire about the news. General Sha prepared everything, but the enemy army did not attack. Later, the reinforcements from the palace came, and the number of sergeants guarding the city wall increased several times, and when I received the order to enter the enclave, I passed by the enemy's camp, and they did not have the slightest intention of hindering us, and let us go. ”
Hearing this, Ye Guan thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and smiled at Cui Chi: "You take the sergeants, wait for me here for two days, and after two days, if I don't show up, you will immediately take all the sergeants back to the city wall." ”
After that, Ye Guan didn't care about Cui Chi anymore, and rode straight forward on his horse.
Yu Sheng glanced back at Cui Chi, smiled at him, glanced at the four captains who followed him, didn't say anything, rode his horse to follow Ye Guan, and walked in the direction of Tianqing City.
Huang Yuchen was confused, he didn't know what Ye Guan wanted to do. His identity at the moment is a deputy general, and the main general will look forward to Ye Guan for the rest of his life, and he naturally can't say anything in front of people. I had no choice but to keep up with the two in front of me.
Cui Chi was stunned for a while, and saw that Ye Guan and the other three had gone away, so he ordered to camp in place.
As it got closer and closer to Tianqing City, the face of the entire city was clearly visible.
The city wall is about ten zhang high, looking simple and elegant, the years have left traces on the city wall, but there is no sign of slashing and axe, this day Qing City, it should not have been a war for a long time.
The city gate was still not clear yet, just looking at the approaching city wall and the towering mountain in front of him, Huang Yuchen felt that something was not quite right.
A strange feeling wandered in Huang Yuchen's heart, making him always feel that something was not right, but he couldn't say anything.
Tianqing City in the afterglow of the sunset, more and more majestic magnificent, look at this building, and pray for the Emperor of Heaven is not far behind. But why did Liu Tianyi avoid Tianqing City when he unified the enclave? Could it be that there is some secret here that no one else knows?
Walking on the road, Huang Yuchen kept thinking about this matter, and there was no answer left and right, so he opened his mouth and asked Ye Guan: "Senior Ye, what are we doing here in Tianqing City?"
Ye Guan turned his head and glanced at Huang Yuchen, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and said softly: "Come and meet the real leader of the enclave." ”
Huang Yuchen was shocked when he heard this.
"The real chief?"
