"This is actually not difficult." Huang Yuchen smiled at Zhuang Lexian and said, "It's like what you told me about the world and the world. I just know the psychology of both of them and their bottom line."

"With this, it's not difficult to guess what actions they will do."

"Well, I admit that I am not as good as you when I understand other people's purposes on the battlefield." Zhuang Lexian sat casually on the snow beside him without feeling cold at all.

Huang Yuchen walked to him and sat down, and said, "Actually, it was your previous words that woke me up. I can't think of everything too simply. It's not that easy to restore Qitian."

"No one in the world recognizes our Dongwang Mansion, and my eldest brother Huang Yuanwu. Therefore, we must make steady progress and advance step by step."

"You should teach me more about winning the hearts of the people in the future."

Huang Yuchen said these words sincerely. He was really good at Zhuang Lexian in these aspects.

No matter how smart he is, he still has limited experience due to his age. Unlike an old monster like Zhuang Lexian, who has seen everything and experienced everything.

Zhuang Lexian knows better what people in this world want than Huang Yuchen, and Huang Yuchen knows better what his opponent is thinking than Zhuang Lexian.

The two can completely complement and fit each other in these aspects, which is something that Huang Yuchen had never imagined before.

"Don't count on me." Zhuang Lexian said: "When you have a big city, I will live my life of living a life of devotion. You can do whatever you want to win the hearts of the people yourself, and I won't."

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he laughed. He knew Zhuang Lexian's temper and said nothing, but he had already recorded it in his heart.

At this moment, Huang Yuchen was sent a feedback from the servants in his heart, and had found traces of the advance of the team of troops and had found the position where Shi Fei was sitting now.

Huang Yuchen determined the current position of the feeder through the fluctuations in his heart, and then looked up at Zhuang Lexian and said, "After an hour, it will be here."

"oh?"

Zhuang Lexian immediately became interested, sat upright, rubbed his hands, and said, "I haven't moved for a long time, I can have fun this time."

"Let's hide for a day first, and let's wait for Shi Fei's second attack to start."

Huang Yuchen smiled slightly, sat cross-legged on the snow, and began to circulate the energy in his body in the ice and snow, and went to practice.

Zhuang Lexian was bored by the way. He could not practice in this way at all. He could only look left and right without doing anything, and finally could only lie in the snow and sleep.

For monks of the level of Huang Yuchen and Zhuang Lexian, the ice, snow and coldness can no longer invade their bodies, and there will be no impact on their bodies. Everything is just like usual.

…………

Mingyuan City Shifei was in a heavy mood.

This person who has been a frontier official for ten years in Qi Tian finally waited for his opportunity.

Qitian is full of wind and clouds, and the imperial capital is hanged in the throne. Although Huang Yuanwu, the young prince of the Eastern Prince, has become Qitian's new emperor, it will inevitably be replaced by others.

As for Shi Fei, who took ten years to climb from a small official to the position of the city lord, who is the emperor, actually has nothing to do with him.

Taking advantage of the turbulent stage of praying for the sky, he wanted to use his trump card to win more benefits for himself as much as possible.

Ten years of career as an official in the frontier made him understand that the encounter before him was once a lifetime.

He had enough flattery, enough to look at others' eyes, and enough to have enough to have the days when he could not make decisions on his own as a city lord.

Therefore, while others were still watching, Shi Fei became one of the first to recruit soldiers and horses.

Long before the rebellion of the Three Kings began, when the Western Prince's Mansion borrowed his Mingyuan City, he knew that the opportunity belonged to him had arrived.

Immediately, Shi Fei sold his property and began to recruit soldiers. He bought a huge manor outside Mingyuan City to train troops secretly, and waited for a day of chaos in the empire.

And a few months ago, he finally waited for this opportunity.

The rebellion of the Three Kings was quelled, and the Eastern Palace finally won. Pray for heaven to change its master, and the world was in chaos.

Shi Fei gathered his troops as fast as possible, completely took down Mingyuan City where he was, killed all the officials who did not obey his orders, and held Mingyuan City firmly in his hands.

But even so, he was not satisfied.

He thought, if one day the capital storms and he only had such a few trump cards in his hand, would the Empire settle the score later?

Therefore, he expanded again. This time he no longer used Huairou methods, but instead plundered the surrounding villages and towns, forcibly recruited troops, and expanded the power in his hands.

Moreover, when the Xiwang Mansion retreated, many of the remaining troops of the Xiwang Mansion passed by Mingyuan City and were also incorporated by Shi Fei.

Therefore, when he was the strongest in his hands, there were 70,000 troops, which was the largest warlord within a radius of thousands of miles.

Now that the empire is weak, he gathers his troops and expands his forces under the banner of rising. While expanding, his ambitions have also increased little by little.

What he didn't expect was that two months ago, the Western Prince's Mansion would make a comeback!

This time, the Western King Emperor Chengbi went on an expedition in person, entering the hinterland of Qitian, gathering down his remaining troops, and growing their power. He even occupied several cities and took steps forward.

It seems that we must really launch our formation and compete with the imperial capital.

After hearing that Shi Fei had absorbed part of the Xiwang Mansion army, after hearing that the Xiwang returned, he actually left Shi Fei's army and went to surrender. Overnight, his 70,000 troops turned into less than 60,000.

Shi Fei had been raising troops for the Xiwang Mansion for two months. In the end, the Xiwang Mansion not only did not have a word of thanks, but also sent someone to send a message to him to surrender!

How can this be done in the world?

These family assets were saved up by Shi Fei little by little, so how could he let people go? He did all this not to compete with the imperial capital, but to better protect himself in troubled times.

In Shi Fei's eyes, the Western Prince's Mansion will definitely not be the opponent of the imperial capital. Sooner or later, the imperial capital will recover and take down all the Western Prince's Mansions.

If you can defeat him the first time, you can defeat him the second time.

Therefore, Shi Fei used a big chess to suppress the rebellion and attacked the Western Prince's Mansion with great fanfare.

He was not the only one with the same idea as him. The more he went to the Qitian Empire, the more cities there were, and the more big cities there were, including warlords like Shi Fei.

But Shi Fei was quite unlucky. Before he could fully wing, he met the Western Prince's Mansion head-on.

But it was fine. At the same time, there were the city lords of several other cities who fought against the Western Prince's Mansion.

Shi Fei was dissatisfied, so he summoned people and horses to fight with the Western Prince's Mansion.

After a battle, Shi Fei actually won! He almost drove the troops of the Xiwang Mansion out of the Chihong Mountain territory, leaving only two cities.

One city of Zhangyang, another city of Yifeng.

After this battle, the troops of Shifei were only less than 50,000.

Recently, this is also what he is worried about.

There seemed to be a problem inside the Xiwang Mansion. The main force was transferred from the vicinity of Chihong Mountain, and Yifeng City and Zhangyang City became lonely cities. Without the defense of the main army, they must not be Shi Fei's opponents.

How could it be that I could not see the importance of Yifeng City and Zhangyang City? As long as Yifeng City is captured, Zhangyang City will be destroyed without conquering it. At that time, he will be the only one in the entire Chihongshan area.

However, things were not as easy as he thought.

Recently, he marched into Yifeng City. After leaving the city, Fan Liao, the surrendered general of Chikang City, rebelled and returned to Chikang City with less than a thousand soldiers under his command. There was nothing wrong with this book, but rumors that were originally suppressed in the army broke out again.

Many soldiers privately discussed that this Shifei was not the orthodox empire, that they were fighting for Shifei's private forces, rather than real suppression of rebellion.

Now the emperor's younger brother appears near Chihong Mountain, claiming that he is orthodox and has the imperial edict of the current emperor, and his identity is unquestionable.

Such rumors appeared in the army, which was the biggest headache for Shi Fei.

Because the soldiers below may not know the truth or falsehood of this matter, Shi Fei was completely clear about it.

And he also clearly knew that the prince was named Huang Yuchen, and he even had a portrait of Huang Yuchen. Now that Huang Yuchen is in Chikang City, he is also completely clear.

Therefore, Shi Fei was in a heavy and contradictory mood.

If the family he built was given to this prince for no reason, Shi Fei would definitely not want to.

But if he does not respect the prince, then he will be rebelling on the surface, and he will be fine. If the morale of the army below is unstable, what should he do?

As the gates of the Western King's Mansion were opened, Yifeng City and Zhangyang City were within their reach, so he would not give up such an opportunity.

Therefore, Shi Fei chose to go to war first and take down Yifeng City and Zhangyang City first.

After taking down two cities, he had capital in his hands. Even if he met Prince Huang Yuchen, he would have said some.

He was not rebelling, but gathering lost land for the empire. He heard that the prince was only seventeen years old, and he was afraid that he was just a young boy who had no worries. How could he understand the great things in the world?

Then he would understand it with emotion and reason, persuade him and let him stay in his city, would his Shi Fei have a legitimate reason to conquer other cities?

At that time, if you fight in the name of the imperial emperor, all the benefits will fall into his pocket.

The seventeen-year-old young prince only has a few followers around him, so how can he be harmonious?

However, what made Shi Fei feel heavy now was not the prince Huang Yuchen, but the matter on the battlefield.

The few scouts he sent to Yifeng City before were gone and had no news. Now he has no idea what the situation in Yifeng City is.

But even so, he must take over Yifeng City. After all, this is where his dream begins. Only by taking over Yifeng City can he achieve his thoughts.

Become the greatest military law of Qi Tian, ​​become the general who commands the troops and horses, and become the pillar of Qi Tian!

He even thought of the young prince's gratitude after he took the prince to recover the lost land.

His achievements are great enough. At that time, the new emperor will still be the Emperor Yuanwu of the Eastern Palace. Isn’t it just his words?

Thinking of this, Shi Fei firmly looked at him and ordered the troops to move forward quickly and go straight to Yifeng City.

However, Shi Fei is not a fool. He knows the power of the Western Prince's Mansion, so as the army moves forward, he keeps shooting scouts to inquire. Finally, when he is only half a day away from Yifeng City, he figures out the situation in Yifeng City.

From the outside, there is no one!

Shi Fei smiled at the corner of his mouth. How could he believe such an obvious trick? So he ordered the troops to speed up their advance and camp in front of Yifeng City!

However, Shi Fei's series of actions were actually expected by Nie Yun, the guardian general of Yifeng City, and what was waiting for Shi Fei must not be a kind of hospitality.

Soon, Shi Fei's vanguard troops walked out of the vast bush forest and saw Yifeng City standing by the river from afar.

According to Shi Fei's order, the troops immediately set up camp on the river bank, cut down the surrounding trees, and began to prepare siege equipment.

And all this did not escape Zhuang Lexian's eyes.
Chapter completed!
