Chapter 248: Journey

What was passed to Sha Shaoyuan was a handwritten letter from Huang Yuanwu.

The letter mentioned that Huang Yongning and Huang Yanghui had returned to the Eastern Prince's Mansion and brought back 170,000 new forces. After learning the news of the enclave, they will use the shortest time to lead Huang Yongning to enter the enclave to assist Sha Shaoyuan in consolidating the results they have achieved.

At the same time, Sha Shaoyuan was reminded to pass this message to the front line and into Ye Guan's hands, so that he could know what was going on.

As for the enclave prisoners of war, Huang Yuanwu ordered Sha Shaoyuan to take care of the situation given by Liu Tianyang and confirmed that there would be no mistakes.

A letter that conveyed the message was not many words, but Sha Shaoyuan looked at it with brilliance.

The army of the Dongwang Mansion has finally returned.

After learning that Huang Yongning would lead the main force of the Eastern Prince's Mansion to the enclave soon, Sha Shaoyuan clearly felt relieved.

At this moment, the confiscation of prisoners of war weapons has come to an end.

As Liu Tianyang said, the 40,000 soldiers under his command had lost the meaning of fighting and abandoned their weapons, without any intention of resisting.

The work of collecting weapons was also going very smoothly. Two brigades of soldiers sent back to transport a large amount of war materials and piled them in a corner of the camp at this moment.

The enemy's camp had no other sounds. The soldiers guarding outside did not step into the enemy's camp before receiving Sha Shaoyuan's orders.

Sha Shaoyuan stood on the city wall, looking at the camp of the enclaves in the distance, his eyes moved slightly, and then turned around and ordered. After a moment, four brigades of sergeants walked out of the camp and rushed straight to the enemy camp.

Immediately, Sha Shaoyuan ordered again to leave on war horses.

When they reached the edge of the enemy camp, four sergeants unfolded their formation and surrounded the camp. Then they picked up the weapons they carried with them and began to dig out the lawns around the camp.

Forty thousand surrendered soldiers are a big burden for any army. Sha Shaoyuan could not arrange too many soldiers to take care of them, even if the other party had no weapons and had no intention of resisting. However, things on the battlefield changed rapidly, as a veteran of a hundred battles, Sha Shaoyuan would definitely not take this risk.

Time passed by little by little. The next morning, a gulf that was two meters wide and more than two meters deep appeared around the enemy camp. The soldiers of the Eastern Palace used one night to turn the entire enemy camp into an isolated island, leaving only one path, and this path was blocked by the black-armored iron cavalry of the Eastern Palace.

Sha Shaoyuan sent someone to ask Liu Tianyang before, saying that the food and grass in the camp were enough for 40,000 people to use it for about ten days. In this way, although this siege seems a bit stupid, it is still a good way to do it once and for all.

After a night of tossing and fighting, the forty thousand soldiers in the enclave had no movement, and the entire camp was quiet and lifeless.

Seeing this situation, Sha Shaoyuan let out a sigh of relief.

Who would be willing to surrender without fighting? But these enclave soldiers no longer had a reason to fight.

The Dou Qi collapsed and his morale was low, but no one left the camp.

After doing all this, Sha Shaoyuan felt that a big rock in his heart had finally landed. What was left was waiting for Huang Yongning's reinforcements and the report on the front.

The 30,000 soldiers in Sha Shaoyuan's hands must not leave the Black Stone Bridge. If they leave at this time and are removed from the enclave, all their previous efforts will be wasted.

Looking at the trace of whiteness in the sky, Sha Shaoyuan stood on the city wall, leaning against the battlements, and a smile appeared on his face.

Ye Guan and his party, the total number of troops entered 20,000, quickly left the area of ​​Tianqing City and returned to the official road of the enclave.

According to Ye Guan's instructions, the troops were heading directly to Qiu Changcheng. However, the speed of progress was not too fast, as if they were waiting for something.

Huang Yuchen rode on the war horse and followed Ye Guan silently, reflecting the sunset, walking on the official road of the enclave, with some confusion in his heart.

According to his estimate, the situation in the enclave is now very clear. The only ones that can effectively resist the army of the Dongwang Mansion were Shen Tuyan and Tian Yuanbai. After leaving Tianqing City, they should set off immediately and rushed to Qiuchang City as quickly as possible to catch Shen Tuyan off guard. But to his surprise, the troops were moving slowly, which made him wonder.

"Zei Ye." In the army, Huang Yuchen could not call Ye Guan the senior: "Why do we need to go to Qiu Changcheng as our fastest way?"

This sentence was also what the general Cui Chi wanted to ask. According to his idea, for the enclave, one city should be pushed forward one city at a time, no matter how many twists and turns he was.

Ye Guan turned around and looked at Huang Yuchen, smiled slightly and said, "Don't hurry, wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Huang Yuchen asked with a slap in his eyes.

"Waiting for news from the enclave." Ye Guan chuckled and whispered to Huang Yuchen and Cui Chi: "One day we enter Tianqing City. Including the previous day, Liu Tianyi's surrender order must have covered the entire enclave. All the enclave lords, including Shen Tuyan and Tian Yuanbai, should have received this order. After receiving this news, the hidden problems in the enclave will also be exposed."

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he scratched his head. He knew that Ye Guan was meticulous, but he always felt that he was a little too cautious.

"What's wrong with him?" Cui Chi interrupted: "With my black armored iron cavalry's combat power, it's no problem to capture all the cities in the entire enclave. At this moment, one city after another should be pushed over. In this way, all problems will be solved."

"You have a good idea." Yu Sheng, who was standing beside him, looked at Cui Chi coldly and said, "Otherwise, I will be ready for my position as a general."

When Cui Chi heard this, he immediately shrank his neck in fear and said, "I'm talking too much."

Yu Sheng glared at Cui Chi, snorted coldly, and said, "According to your fighting style, even if our Dongwang Mansion occupys the enclave, we will have to invest a lot of energy to win over the hearts of the people in the enclave in the future. Just start the war, without any benefit."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Cui Chi lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yu Sheng's eyes. He was in charge of 16,000 black armored iron cavalry before, and easily captured a city. He was naturally a little complacent and saw the war in the enclave very shallowly. After Yu Sheng said a few words, he immediately did not dare to interrupt.

"We will reach a city not far ahead." Ye Guan's voice did not change at all, nor did there be any fluctuations in Cui Chi's interruption. It still sounded very comfortable: "We can take the next city so that we can open up the road ahead and behind. If we enter a long-term tug-of-war in the future, we will not be at a disadvantage."

Huang Yuchen probably understood what Ye Guan and Yu Sheng meant. It was not that the Eastern Prince's Mansion did not have the strength to directly take down the enclave, but they were afraid that once the Eastern Prince's Mansion conquered the enclave with force, it would not only not play a strategic role, but it would also be very likely to pull the Eastern Prince's Mansion into a mud. This is not a good thing for the Eastern Prince's Mansion.

Ye Guan finished speaking, and when no one spoke, twenty thousand soldiers were slowly moving on the official road of the enclave. All they could hear was the clear sound of horse hooves.

One hundred miles away, Changhui City.

A man in brocade and jade robe sat in the city lord's mansion, holding two beauties like flowers, watching the singing and dancing in the hall. He was very comfortable while regulating his breath and drinking.

A lewd smile appeared on his fat face from time to time, and his hands moved a few times, causing the beauty in his arms to giggle.

This person is the lord of Changhui City, Yang Yun.

Changhui City is a medium-sized city in the enclave and does not occupy much land. However, because it is a major transportation road, all the cities on both sides must pass through Changhui City, which also makes Changhui City a place of trade, which is quite rich.

This also dragged the blessing of the unification of the enclaves. Before the unification, Changhui City was a four-stop place. If the surrounding cities wanted to attack each other, the first thing they had to fight was Changhui City. At that time, the lord of Changhui City was very good at everything every day. When he saw other lords, he would nod and bow, for fear that if others were unhappy, they would come to the city.

After unification, such hard days are over.

Because of Liu Tianyi's unified strategy, traffic roads like Tianhui City can directly charge taxes and fees from surrounding cities that are traded. Of course, the government of the enclave also needs to withdraw part of this tax and fee, but the rest is enough for the entire Tianhui City to eat.

As a result, Yang Yun's life changed drastically. The previous nodded and bowed, and the caravans around him that needed trade had to give him a smile. Not only that, the city lords who had shown their power in front of him had to put down their posture and show their goodwill to him. Now the two beauties in his arms were sent by a city around him.

Yang Yun touched the beauty in his arms and looked at the singing and dancing in front of him. He felt that the days of immortals were nothing more than that.

"Report!"

With a loud shout, the sound of singing and dancing in the hall was broken. A soldier ran in and knelt straight outside the hall, shouting loudly: "Report to the city lord, urgent order!"

Yang Yun looked at the messenger impatiently, waved down, and the singer band in the hall retreated one after another. The two beauties sitting in his arms were about to get up, but Yang Yun pulled them back, and then touched the two women twice, which caused a burst of giggle.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Yang Yun looked at the messenger in the hall with annoyance, threw down this sentence, and then turned his gaze to the beautiful woman in his arms, with a squinting expression on his face. If it weren't for the messenger being beside him, he would have liked to stick his entire face directly to the softness.

"Report to the city lord!" The commander's tone was quick and he didn't feel abrupt at all, and said, "The leader gave an order to order all cities in the enclave to surrender to the East Prince's Mansion immediately, and there must be no direct conflict with the East Prince's Mansion."

"What?" Yang Yun didn't believe his ears. He widened his eyes, looked at the messenger, and said sternly: "Say it again!"

"City Lord! The leader ordered the surrender of the Eastern Prince's Mansion! Wufeng City, I'm afraid that I have surrendered to the Eastern Prince's Mansion!" The messenger returned immediately.

"Bang..."

The wine glass in Yang Yun's hand fell to the ground, looking shocked.
