Chapter 163: Black Stone Gate

Little Prince. After hearing what Huang Yuanwu said, General Sha Shaoyuan frowned slightly and replied in a low voice: There are only 40,000 troops in the camp now, to explore and defend against the natural danger of Canglan River. If 10,000 troops are transferred, there will be loopholes in the defense.

The little prince. Another general took a step, clasped his fists with his hands. The general looked tall and mighty, dark-faced, and more than eight feet tall, wearing armor. He looked extremely brave. The man was named Cui Chi, and he was Sha Shaoyuan's deputy general. He was also a veteran on the battlefield and had great military achievements. He took a step and clasped his fists and said: The Shajiang Army was right. If these 40,000 troops were missing another 10,000 troops to attack the enclave, if they could enter the enclave, everything would be fine. If they could not be handed over, only 10,000 troops would enter the enclave like a mud cow entering the sea and would not play a key role. If the enclave army attacked at this time, I am afraid that our Eastern Prince's Mansion would be in danger.

The remaining six generals were all reconsidered. Their concerns were not unreasonable. The mission of all the garrison generals was to defend the Eastern Palace. When the old prince left, he issued an order. Moreover, the Eastern Palace army and the enclave had been confronting each other for a long time. They knew very well about the situation of the enclave. Not to mention the 10,000 people and horses that were stationed in, even if all the 40,000 people and horses stationed in the enclave entered the enclave, the people in the enclave would not be able to hand over all the cities if they did 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. Go north to the endless sea, all the enemy forces are killed and have already subsided. Towards the south, Songshan Mountains, no one is there for thousands of miles. At this moment, our Eastern Palace only needs to defend the natural danger of Canglan River. Moreover, Yang Hui has gone out to collect the soldiers and is rushing back at this moment. He will arrive soon. The soldiers return to the camp and expand their defense. What's the terrible thing?

As soon as Huang Yuanwu said this, everyone was silent and stopped talking. They knew in their hearts that since the little prince said this, he had already made a decision. If the Eastern King was not there, Huang Yuanwu would be the Eastern King. None of the soldiers would refute his orders and would not be intimidated by Huang Yuanwu.

However, in Sha Shaoyuan's heart, he still felt that there was a hidden crisis in this matter.

It is no longer a secret that the Eastern King was besieged. Most generals knew about it shortly after Huang Yuanwu learned the news. The Eastern King's order: All the children are waiting for the battle and swear to restore the country to the death. It is also deeply imprinted in the hearts of every general.

But the king is the king, the general is the general. No matter how angry he is in his heart, he must obey the military order. This is the style of the Eastern Prefecture Army.

The Dongwang Mansion had been in charge for decades and fought in all directions, and had built a huge territory for Qitian. This was related to the strict discipline, loyalty, bravery in combat, and clear distinction between the top and bottom of the East Mansion army.

What Huang Yuanwu said is true. After years of fighting, the expansion of the East Mansion has seen the end. It has reached the bank of the Canglan River in the east, and to the endless seaside in the north. All the forces and villages before the coast have formed their own small countries, and have surrendered to Qitian's command and included in Qitian's territory. To the south, the area is very wide, with a steep mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. The forces of the East Mansion have also reached this place. The north of the mountains are full of Qitian's territory.

The twenty cities under the rule of the Eastern Prince’s Mansion are located in the endless Hainan, west of the Canglan River, and north of the unknown mountains.

It is about a thousand miles away from the endless seaside. There are dozens of cities and all of them are under the jurisdiction of the Qitian Empire. Here, there are twenty cities in the East Palace, but there are also natural dangers in valleys. For the East Palace, there are no wars in the north.

In the south, before reaching the endless mountains, the cities and countries were sparse, and they had all been conquered. The time for conquest was short. The war had just ended. They needed to rest and recuperate, and they would not pose any threat to the Eastern Palace. In the south, there was no war.

At present, there are only two directions that pose a threat to the Eastern Prince’s Mansion.

Going east, Canglan River, Black Stone Bridge, and Enclave.

Going west, thousands of miles of fertile land, gentle hills, and beyond twenty cities, there are no mountains, a small number of jungles, gurgling rivers, and the west is the hinterland of praying for heaven.

At this moment, the other three kings were too busy to fight for the priority of entering the imperial capital. Moreover, Xiao Yibo and Yu Sheng were currently under the rule of Pingjin City, the westernmost part of the twenty cities, training soldiers and creating weapons. The new recruits who were originally trained in Wuxing City were also continued to practice under Ye Guan's arrangement. Even if Yu Sheng was transferred, Xiao Yibo would still guard the West, with troops and food under his command, and would not be afraid of others' invasion.

However, the enclave in the east is the top priority in the plan behind the Eastern Palace. The strategy depth must be taken, and all the generals know this.

It was just a long confrontation that made all the generals understand the enclave very well. Ten thousand people entering the enclave was indeed like a mud cow entering the sea and could not make any big waves. If all these ten thousand people and the three city lords were lost in the enclave, it would be an unbearable loss for the entire Eastern Palace.

It is precisely because of this that the two generals Sha Shaoyuan and Cui Chi told me that the border defense was difficult 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 had no certainty, he would not have sent such news back. Ye Guan must have known that the troops in the Eastern Palace were empty at this moment, and at most ten thousand troops could be mobilized, but he still sent the news back.

According to this analysis, these ten thousand people are crucial to Ye Guan.

Although there are few people, it depends on who is using it and who the general is.

In the Dongwang Mansion, except for the talented people of the Dongwang, all of them are top-notch in literature and martial arts. Only Ye Guan and Ning Yi can be called generals and good talents. In the hands of Ye Guan, these ten thousand troops will definitely play a surprising role in winning.

Besides, Huang Yanghui and Huang Yongning are about to return and bring back a large number of soldiers from the East Mansion. With the vitality, they can be dispatched to the enclave immediately. If these ten thousand troops enter, they just need to defend the Black Stone Bridge, open up the road, and take down the enclave, and it will be like taking objects from a bag.

The order was passed! Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly, and saw that the eight generals had no words, shouting loudly.

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

Sha Shaoyuan and Cui Chi obeyed the order.

General Sha and General Cui immediately shouted loudly.

I ordered you two to act, order 10,000 troops, select all the elite troops in the battalion, prepare food and grass, and prepare for the war. Huang Yuanwu ordered loudly, without anger, and his power would be revealed, and his kingly temperament would be revealed without any anger.

The last general ordered the order! The two generals shouted in unison.

The other generals were prepared to guard against each other and defended themselves. There were no mistakes in the few days before the army returned.

Respectful order!

OK. When Huang Yuanwu saw that all the generals were obeyed, he nodded and said: Please stand up, General Sha stay, and the rest of the people, please retreat.

After Huang Yuanwu said this, all the generals stood up. Except for Sha Shaoyuan, the other seven generals bowed and slowly stepped forward.

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

Shajiang Army, let’s sit down. Huang Yuanwu smiled at Sha Shaoyuan and asked the old general to sit down.

Xie Xiaogong and Sha Shaoyuan bowed to Emperor Yuanwu, then sat down, looked at Emperor Yuanwu with concern, and said: Xiaogong, you are so hurrying and dispatched 10,000 troops into the enclave. The old minister was still a little worried.

I knew that Shajiang Army was worried. Huang Yuanwu said softly: However, it had been a while since General Ye entered the enclave, and the news came out. He sent back the seal of the enclave leader. With this seal, he opened the gate of the enclave city, took down the Black Stone Bridge in one fell swoop, and opened the path to enter the enclave. Besides, I believe in General Ye's ability.

Needless to say, General Ye, General Ye, said: The old minister also believed General Ye, but there were too few people and horses. The enclave was very wide. These ten thousand people entered the enclave and entered the mud cows and sea, and they were afraid that they would not be able to make any waves.

These ten thousand men are the vanguard army. Huang Yuanwu looked at Sha Shaoyuan and whispered: This time I arranged for Shajiang Army and Yu Sheng to go together, mainly for two purposes.

When Sha Shaoyuan heard this, his eyes lit up and he didn't say anything. He looked at Huang Yuanwu with his eyes shining brightly.

After entering the enclave, you need to stay at the city wall of Shajiang Army to ensure that the Black Stone Bridge is connected. When Yanghui returns, I will immediately ask him to lead his troops to the enclave. At that time, hold the seal and take down all the enclaves along the way. If there is any disobedience, attack the city directly and attack Wufeng City. Huang Yuanwu’s voice is not loud, but every word and sentence is clearly transmitted into Sha Shaoyuan’s ears.

Yu Sheng led the remaining troops straight to Wufeng City. Within a few days, he cooperated with General Ye to take down Wufeng City. At that time, the army was approaching and cooperated inside and outside. Even if the enclave leader had many means, he would not be able to use it.

When Sha Shaoyuan heard this, his eyes shone brightly.

Huang Yuanwu's strategy is a good strategy, but this strategy is extremely dangerous. If there are any mistakes in any place, it will be defeated.

He now understood why he let himself let go of all the things at the garrison and went to the enclave with the army, and also understood why he quickly transferred the Yu Sheng to the front line.

All of this is because of this fact that Huang Yuanwu did not hesitate to send the most experienced generals in the Eastern Palace to do this.

After thinking for a moment, Sha Shaoyuan immediately understood what Huang Yuanwu meant.

On the surface, the troops were dispatched to Wufeng City, but in fact, in order to trick the Black Stone Bridge and open up all the roads.

Holding an enclave seal in hand, it is not difficult to open the door, but it will definitely take some effort to take over the defense of the Black Stone Bridge.

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

I will also notify the Lord of Yu Sheng about taking down the Black Stone Bridge. Huang Yuan Wudao: This is the top priority of this expedition. The old general only needs to do this and don’t think about anything else.

Upon hearing this, Sha Shaoyuan stood up straight, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Sir."

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

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

Huang Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief. The place had been arranged. He stepped out of the camp and returned to the Eastern Palace.
