Chapter 401: Arrangement
Ye Guan heard this and smiled at Huang Yuchen, without saying anything, and his expression was unanimous. The normal guess would be like this. If Tianqing City really had some confinement that prevented them from leaving the enclave, he might have a chance to leave. But Ye Guan knew in his heart that things would never be so simple. He wanted Huang Yuchen to think about it this way, so that he would also alleviate his worries.
Huang Yuchen saw Ye Guan's appearance and felt that his guess might be good. Even if he comforted him, Huang Yuchen was willing to believe that Ye Guan had a way to get out of here.
Huang Yuanwu, who was standing beside him, frowned and did not stretch his face. He could hear what Ye Guan said, "Where is Tianqing City?" How could he go whenever he wanted to go or whenever he wanted to go.
"Senior Ye..." Huang Yuanwu spoke, wanting to say something else, but Ye Guan waved his hand gently and signaled him not to say anything more.
This matter has been done and can't be separated by casually. Tianqing City seized this stall and threatened Ye Guan to join. Even if Ye Guan saw any flaws, he would be helpless. Most of the troops in the Eastern Palace were in the enclave. As long as Ye Guan changed his mind, they would take action immediately.
"I won't talk about this." Ye Guan's face was relaxed, looking at Huang Yuanwu, then at Huang Yuchen, and laughed: "The matters in the enclave have been completed and cannot be changed easily. Later, after all the troops are withdrawn, don't consider the matters in the enclave in a short period of time."
Huang Yuanwu looked at Ye Guan with a frown, feeling very complicated, but Ye Guan was talking about the truth. Even though he knew the current situation and even knew the possible omissions in Tianqing City, the road was already done. Ye Guan had no choice but to enter Tianqing City, and he could only be the best choice now. With a large number of elite combat powers threatened, no one could bet on the safety of the East Prince's Mansion.
"How is the matter in the imperial capital?" Seeing that Huang Yuanwu did not say anything, Ye Guan asked Huang Yuanwu and turned the topic to other directions. He came back to meet Huang Yuanwu this time, mainly to help him arrange future affairs and to ensure that the Eastern Prince's Mansion can stabilize its position in the shaky situation.
Huang Yuanwu was in a complicated mood and looked at Ye Guan, paused for a while before speaking: "In recent days, the Northern King's Mansion has taken an advantage in the front battlefield, forcing the Southern King and the Western King to unite. There is no news within the imperial capital, and it is unknown who Yang Qin is now inclined toward him."
Ye Guan thought for a while and said, "Yang Qin is sinister and vicious. Now in the imperial capital, he is afraid that there will be little danger. He has occupied the imperial capital for a while, but he has not taken action for a long time. I don't know what he is thinking."
Speaking of this, Huang Yuchen suddenly thought of something and said, "The storm in the imperial capital was almost caused by Xu Feng. So does this Yang Qin have anything to do with Xu Feng?"
"It is impossible to figure out what Xu Feng's purpose is." Ye Guan whispered: "The primary goal of the royal palace is to protect itself, waiting for the army to withdraw. With the troops returning from the northern border and the new recruits join, the royal palace will have 300,000 troops. With these soldiers here, it is not difficult to protect the country and the people. If any royal palace wants to attack us, it must also consider the consequences."
"Xu Feng... is not that simple." Huang Yuanwu sat aside and whispered: "I'm afraid this person is having some purpose when he contacts Yu Chen. It's not a secret that Yu Chen is still alive."
Ye Guan turned his eyes to Huang Yuchen and said in a serious tone: "This Xu Feng must be for the secrets on you. Remember to protect yourself and not trust others too much."
Huang Yuchen nodded. Of course, he knew that Xu Feng who suddenly appeared must have a purpose, but he couldn't tell some things clearly, because what happened to him was really incredible. No one would believe it if he said it. Moreover, Huang Yuchen has not yet figured out the secret of it. Some of the words Xu Feng and him are still a little confused.
"Tianqing City has given me three days, tomorrow is the deadline, and they will come to find me at that time." Ye Guan instructed Huang Yuchen, turned his gaze to Huang Yuanwu again, and whispered: "Before this, I will tell you in detail about the matters of the royal palace."
As Huang Yuanwu nodded softly, Ye Guan began to tell him the direction of his mind. Based on the current situation, the main threat facing the Eastern Prince Mansion still comes from the direction of the imperial capital. As for the enclave, there is almost no need to think too much about it now. If Tianqing City cannot cross the enclave, ordinary troops cannot cross it with the Black Stone Wall alone. If the masters of Tianqing City can be dispatched, even if they make careful defense, it will be useless.
Therefore, Ye Guan placed the focus of the arrangement behind the palace inside the palace. The twenty cities under the rule of the Eastern Palace had almost no protection ability for the imperial capital. Crossing the vast Gobi Desert in Pingjin City, you can directly enter the hinterland of Qitian. This vast Gobi Desert has no danger to defend. Ye Guan planned to build fortifications near the main city of Pingjin City to resist possible attacks from the imperial capital.
Twenty cities are integrated into one, and there is no problem with the East Prince's Mansion being self-sufficient. The south of the Prince's Mansion is a vast area with sparse population. A small number of people can be moved to the southern border to establish a new city, and prepare for a protracted war. Now the depth of the enclave is no longer there, and the southern border has become the only choice. Although it is not as good as the enclave and has ready-made cities and residents, it is also a helpless choice.
Keeping a large number of people away from the frontline as much as possible is the main direction of Ye Guan’s strategy. The fundamental reason for the country lies in the people. It cannot protect the people in the country, and don’t think about the future development.
Fortunately, the southern territory is still vast, and there is no large force until the distant plateau. Almost all the scattered forces have been transformed under the command of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. It will be a long process to develop south, but this is a step that must be taken.
After the fortifications were built near Pingjin City, the army was stationed near Pingjin City. The royal palace left more than 100,000 troops to defend against possible threats from the northern border and enclaves. Production continued to develop internally. In recent years, the eastern palace was in good weather and sufficient food and grass, but once the war started, the consumption was even greater, and these had to be guarded against.
Ye Guan made a careful plan for Emperor Yuanwu. These plans had been considered in his mind for a long time. The main direction was to defend the main and not send troops to the imperial capital easily. When the situation in the imperial capital was not yet settled, it was unwise to attack rashly. Now the imperial capital is still under Yang Qin's control, and no one of the three kings guarding the border was able to conquer it alone, unless the three kings decide the victory or defeat. As the huge Qitian, the garrisons in various provinces have not yet moved, and there may be changes in this.
The Three Kings and Yang Qin, even the heads of various provinces, may change at this time. The turmoil in the imperial capital has lasted for so long, and more and more people are about to move.
Ye Guan has been discussing plans with Huang Yuanwu. Huang Yuchen was a little confused when he listened on the side and couldn't understand many things. He actually didn't care much about these things. What he cared most now was actually related to Xu Feng.
He had a vague feeling that the current development of the situation is likely to have something to do with Xu Feng. This person is really mysterious. Even if he had contacted him a few times, he could not see the person's thoughts clearly.
It is not difficult to take down the other two kings and push the Northern King to the throne according to his current power. Even if he said that it is not difficult to let his elder brother Huang Yuanwu be the emperor. But until now, this person seems to have been watching, not knowing what he is thinking.
Before he knew it, the lights were on. Ye Guan and Huang Yuanwu's discussion lasted for a long time, which may be related to the survival of the Eastern Palace later, and Ye Guan later may not be able to participate. Therefore, Huang Yuanwu was very attentive and worked very carefully, integrating his own ideas with Ye Guan's ideas as much as possible to find a better direction.
During this process, Huang Yuchen no longer stood aside, but sat next to Huang Yuanwu. Listening to the discussion between the two, he could not get a word.
After a while, the two of them discussed all the details, including all the possible situations later. Of course, things that exceeded the scope of the royal palace's ability will no longer be considered.
After using his brain for a long time, Ye Guan's face also showed fatigue. He looked at Huang Yuchen and chuckled, "Yuchen, do you feel bored?"
Huang Yuchen shook his head and said, "It's not boring, I just don't understand it very much. The arrangements of my seniors are almost foolproof. But... we must go to the imperial capital, so when will we have this opportunity?"
"When Yang Qin takes action," Ye Guan chuckled, "This person is insidious and scheming, and it is absolutely impossible to completely commit to any party. He knows that no matter whether any party occupys the imperial capital, he as the culprit will not have a good end. Later, the most likely thing he can do is to choose a prince and ascend the throne under his auspices, so that he can have the full legitimate order of Qitian army to break the siege of the imperial capital. However, the chaos in the imperial capital has lasted for so long, and no provinces have taken action. This is probably involving many forces in the game. It is not so easy for him to get out of trouble easily."
"And, according to my calculations, the Northern Palace should have the ability to completely destroy the other two royal palaces. The reason why they did not do this may be because Qi Tian's other forces are among them. The Northern Palace is not sure that after entering the imperial capital, they can get the greatest benefits."
Ye Guanwei told the story. Huang Yuchen was still a little confused when he heard this, but he still couldn't get into such a big deal. He thought about killing the imperial capital as quickly as possible and killing Yang Qin to avenge his father. But obviously, this is not the time now.
"Report!"
At this moment, a sound of reward came from outside the tent. Huang Yuanwu's eyes narrowed and he said loudly: "Report."
Then, a small school entered outside the camp, knelt on one knee, and shouted: "Return to the little prince, a large number of our soldiers appeared outside the camp, and they retreated from the enclave. General Sha Shaoyuan asked the little prince what to do."
Ye Guan heard this, looked at Huang Yuanwu, laughed and said, "Ren Zijin is back."
"Go and tell General Sha, open the camp and welcome the soldiers in." Huang Yuanwu ordered the school to go to the small school, and the school took the order and retreated. Then Huang Yuanwu stood up and said to Ye Guan: "Senior Ye, let's go and welcome it too."
Ye Guan nodded with a smile on his face. After a long conversation with Huang Yuanwu, he told all the arrangements in his heart. Now he had no worries and was in a much better mood. He then stood up and left the camp with Huang Yuanwu, while Huang Yuchen followed behind the two.
Ren Zijin and Tu Xingping merged into one place in Zhu'an City and exited Zongqiu Mountain from the route in the process. During this process, no accidents occurred, and there was nothing peaceful along the way. The soldiers of Zongqiu Mountain who were originally fighting with them seemed to have evaporated overnight, disappearing without a trace. In order to ensure safety, the two did not move forward at full speed, but remained on alert. Therefore, the time to the Black Stone Bridge was much later than Ye Guan.
Huang Yuanwu and Ye Guan personally welcomed the returned troops. After seeing Ye Guan, the two generals were overjoyed and put down the big stone in their hearts. General Ding Jiang was seriously injured and was in a coma along the way, without any sign of awakening. After the clinic checked, his body was not seriously injured, but he was unconscious and would recover soon.
There were less than 20,000 soldiers who returned this time, but they were all elites from the royal palace. Ye Guan was very pleased to see these soldiers returning safely. Tianqing City still kept its promise and did not make things difficult for them.
The soldiers entered the camp and settled down late at night.
The camp was very quiet. The soldiers who had traveled a long distance entered a safe area. The fatigue of several days swept over and fell into a deep sleep. In the entire camp, only the patrol soldiers were constantly patrolling.
Ye Guan and Huang Yuanwu returned to the tent, and there were many delicious food on the table in front of them. Including Huang Yuchen, the three of them were in a much better mood.
I haven't had a meal like this for a long time. Huang Yuanwu held a wine glass in his hand and looked at Ye Guan who was having a meal in front of him, and his mood was still a little complicated.
Just as the few people were enjoying this rare leisure, a few red fluorescent light suddenly appeared in the big tent.
Ye Guan gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, smiled, looked at Huang Yuanwu, and whispered: "It seems that time has come."
