If the army of the Hundred Warring States was going to march westward, the first stop would be Anyong City, so almost all the residents in the city fled with all their belongings, leaving only a city defense team of more than 5,000 people, who were in constant panic all day long.
So when the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived, the city lord Yuan Zijin lined up at the gate of the city to welcome him early in the morning after receiving the news. When they saw the arrival of the army, they cheered one by one, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With an army of 800,000, it would be extremely difficult for the Hundred Warring States to break through Anyong City. Moreover, after the army arrives, all defense and command power will be handed over to the army, and they, the city guards and city owners, will not have to bear the responsibility.
When the army arrived at Anyong City, all of them were high-spirited and smiling.
This suddenly made Yuan Zijin feel very strange, ordinary soldiers are about to go to the battlefield, they are all frowning, why are these soldiers still smiling so happily
He thought to himself that the Central Army is really impressive, at least its appearance is completely different from other armies.
Chen Dasheng was also in a happier mood. He made a fortune all the way here, and these cities in the back would not be part of the student army, and the officers and soldiers in the back were all addicted to getting rich, so it didn't matter whether it was a city that belonged to the prince's power or not. get rich. However, the discipline is still very strict, they will only look for the city lord's mansion, and leave when they get rich, and they are never allowed to harass ordinary people.
After showing the military transfer order, Yuan Zijin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone, please follow me into the city."
Fortunately, all the people in the city had fled long ago, and it became an empty city. Although it still couldn't accommodate an army of 800,000, it was no problem to house 400,000 to 500,000 people. The rest are all camped outside the city.
Chen Dasheng and other generals directly moved into the city lord's mansion. Before they settled down, they called all the generals and Yuan Zijin to start analyzing the current situation.
Accompanied by Jia Rong and Ji Meng, Li Yunxiao also appeared in front of the crowd. This was the first time he had stepped out of the chariot tent after being injured. Although he didn't look alive, his complexion was rosy, and it seemed that his injuries had all healed.
The eyelids of Chen Dasheng and the others twitched suddenly, and their hearts were shocked again, "Nine-star warrior!"
But when he thought about the person behind him, he came back to his senses one by one. With such an extremely strong expert, it is not surprising that the promotion is so fast.
"Yunxiao, how are you?"
The first one to stand up and ask was Luo Yunshang, her face was full of concern, "If you haven't responded yet, continue to adjust your breath, you can't help here anyway."
Xiao Qingwang and the others all had strange eyes, smiled and said nothing.
Li Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "As the chief of logistics and the commander of the student army, how can I not come to the meeting. Although I haven't recovered yet, I'm almost fine."
Luo Yunshang patted him on the shoulder kindly, and said softly: "Don't work too hard, your body is important."
Her idea is very simple, since Li Yunxiao is that lord's disciple, when that lord is not around, she will do her best to protect and care for him.
But in Li Yunxiao's ears, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he was a little at a loss. He looked at Luo Yunshang in horror, thinking: Does she know my identity? No way! Don't guess about this kind of thing, even if I tell it myself, no one will believe it.
Chen Dasheng and the others covered their mouths and snickered, and he shouted: "Yun Xiao, come and have a look together."
Only then was Li Yunxiao relieved, hurried over and sat down beside Chen Dasheng.
Yuan Zijin was slightly surprised, such a young boy is also a general? But he knew that many dignitaries in the court liked to send their children to the army to be gilded. You don't have to do anything, it's purely for tourism, and you will be promoted as soon as you go back, so I don't think it's strange.
Under Chen Dasheng's signal, he began to describe the current situation.
"The army of the Hundred Warring States has besieged Kunjin City for 27 days, and no news has come out. Although the army has not yet moved west, there are still three small towns in front of Anyong City, but they have already been occupied by the army of the Hundred Warring States. It means that as soon as Jinjin City falls, they will immediately come to Anyong City."
"The three small towns are Fengshan Town, Feifeng Town and Yangsan Town. I have sent people to investigate the deployment of troops in each town, and it is about 20,000 people. Since it is impossible to break through these three towns, the front I don’t know anything about it. The exact number of troops in the Hundred Warring States is still unknown. But according to my estimation, it should be around 800,000.”
After hearing this, everyone began to think deeply.
Chen Dasheng pondered: "The siege has not been taken for more than a month, but they are still holding on. It seems that they intend to force them until the food in the city is exhausted. But here is the biggest doubt. It has been half a month since our army set off. They should have already received the news and took countermeasures, but so far, they have not taken any action. In other words, they are not afraid that our army will overwhelm them, and they will even cooperate with the outside world to wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Han Qianfang said: "Yes, this is completely unreasonable. If I were an enemy general with only 800,000 troops, after the opponent's army set off, I would either forcefully attack the city and strive to break through the city as soon as possible. Favorable terrain. Another situation is to return directly to the Baizhan Kingdom. At present, there is no such thing, but just stand still. It is really strange!"
Chen Dasheng's heart moved, and he called out his names: "Huang Hong, tell me your own opinion."
Immediately everyone's eyes fell on him. Huang Hong was slightly nervous. After all, his identity was still in a relatively awkward position, but he quickly recovered and thought deeply: "When the army of the Hundred Warring States passed through Baitou Town, I I also secretly noticed that it was indeed around 800,000, and should not exceed a million. After the Golden Lion Army retreated, it is not clear whether they sent any more troops. But when our army withdrew, they did not occupy Baitou Town, but really just passing through by road. So I don’t expect there will be any reinforcements in the future, and the current number of people surrounding Kunjin City should be 800,000!”
Chen Dasheng nodded in satisfaction, this Huang Hong did have some brains. He wondered: "If it is really 800,000 troops, what is their purpose? Could it be that they are really trying to lure us out and cooperate with the eldest prince in the capital?"
King Xiao Qing said: "It might have been possible a month ago, but now Qin Yang's power has basically disintegrated. Even if the capital makes any big moves, there is no way to recover. So this reason is not valid."
"It's really puzzling. It seems that we must send people to break through the blockade of the three small towns and send people in to understand the situation."
Chen Dasheng's eyes wandered around the crowd, and suddenly his heart moved, "Yun Xiao, what do you think?" He no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for this junior.
Li Yunxiao smiled slightly and said: "I really don't understand marching and fighting, but I just find it strange. The three points that Uncle Han said just now are either to attack by force, or go west, or retreat. Why can't we just sit back and wait for us to come?" Eliminated together?"
All the generals showed strange looks, and some even laughed undisguisedly. Chen Dasheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You really don't understand, our army is pressing in, not to mention having the absolute upper hand in numbers, even if they are weak, they are hard to fly under the attack from both sides. Unless there are several times more Only the strength of our army dares to stand by and wait for the rabbit."
Li Yunxiao frowned, and said coldly: "The commander-in-chief considers the quantity of troops, but not the quality? What if they are 800,000 warriors?"
"800,000 warriors? Thank you for thinking it out!" Han Qianfang said with a smile, "Your 2,000 student army is already an odd number."
King Xiao Qing's expression changed, and he said, "Young Master Yun just said that high-end warriors should be taken into consideration."
Li Yunxiao glanced at King Xiao Qing, and said with a light smile, "That's right. The 800,000 army is extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of warriors, such soldiers can be defeated by King Xiao Qing alone. One enemy is one hundred thousand. If there is a Wuzong of the Liuhe Realm on the other side, then one person can kill a million troops."
Everyone fell silent immediately. Although they believed that the other party could not have a strong Wu Zong, if there were more Wu Kings and Martial Lords, it would be extremely troublesome.
Li Yunxiao said with a smile: "I'm just analyzing a situation. In fact, it's not very likely. If this is the case, then Kunjin City would have been destroyed long ago. In fact, I think there is only one possibility, and that is the army of the Hundred Warring States. The purpose is not to attack cities or occupy land.”
Chen Dasheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Yun Xiao is right! The Bai Zhan Kingdom dispatched such a huge force, if not to capture the city, then what is their intention? The most important thing at the moment is to understand their purpose! Is Ding Bai here?"
A general rushed out and said: "The end is here!"
Chen Dasheng ordered with piercing eyes: "I order you to select three hundred elite soldiers, and quickly investigate all kinds of information about the Hundred Warring States. You must not miss a single bit of information, and report back immediately if you have any news!"
"Yes!" Ding Bai immediately took the order to retreat.
Chen Dasheng ordered: "Yuan Zijin, you lead all the city guards to be responsible for the food, daily life and logistics of the army. The rest of the people go back and wait for orders, and make plans when Ding Bai finds out the news."
After the temporary meeting was over, each of them found a place to press down. Anyway, the city is all empty, and whoever occupies it will belong to him. Li Yunxiao had sent Ji Meng to occupy the yard of a big family, enough for them to live.
After returning to the small courtyard, Li Yunxiao felt uncomfortable all over, turned around and said, "Mr. Luo, I'm already here, there's no need to send it off, you can go back."
Luo Yunshang looked westward at the small courtyard, stroking her hair, and said calmly: "I haven't found a place to stay yet, your place is big enough, so I will live here."
"Ah?" Li Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that good? It's already full, not enough..."
Meng Wu came out just in time, and when she heard the two talking, she was immediately happy and said, "It's okay, Young Master Yun, just let Mr. Luo live with me, it happens that the bed in my room is very big."
Li Yunxiao glared at her fiercely, and said angrily: "Your bed is big, isn't it? How about I come to squeeze with you too? I happen to have no place to live!"
