Chapter 176: Turn enemies into friends
Is it a war or a marriage...
This question lingers in the mind of the enclave leader, making him hesitate.
The first thing to do in the battle was that his safety was not guaranteed at all. At this moment, he was guarded by the two killing gods, Ye Guan and Liu Yuan. If he wanted to deliver the news, it would be a fool. Even if the news could be transmitted and the army attacked Wufeng City, he would probably die in many lives. At this moment, the chief of the enclave was very regretful, regretting his underestimation of the enemy, and at the same time regretting why he easily listened to the Northern King's plan, putting himself in such an embarrassing situation.
Previously, Ye Guan used the thunderous force to control himself, and then issued a series of orders to let his city guards put down their weapons one after another, and the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion took over the city defense. At this moment, the three thousand city guards were probably thinking that the enclave had surrendered to the East Prince's Mansion and had no intention of fighting. Ye Guan's methods can be seen.
Now I heard the battle report on the front line again. Although the first front battalion of our side is used to restrain the enemy's troops and its combat power is not very strong, it is simply terrifying that the Eastern Prince's Mansion can achieve a 10 to 20 battle loss. I just don't know how many people this enemy army has, but relying on the information I received before to analyze, the enemy's army must have a small number, at most it has the same force as the first front battalion.
Even if the troops are almost the same, the proportion of damages in the battle is too scary. If this army is really killed at Wufeng City, even if tens of thousands of troops on its side can wipe out their opponents, they will suffer heavy losses.
If you want to...
The enclave leader thought of this and looked at Ye Guanyun's calm face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Not long after the enclave was unified, the enclave was launched this time, intending to help the Northern King drag the Eastern Palace to death. The order was issued, and many generals opposed it, forced themselves to suppress it, and then implemented the current plan. At this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. More than 100,000 troops that could be called in the enclave had already attacked. In addition to the 40,000 elite troops outside the city and the first battalion that had been completely wiped out, 40,000 elite troops had also been sent at the Blackstone Bridge to retake the Blackstone Bridge. On the way to Wufeng City, there were several ambush camps, not elite troops, but there were 30,000 to 40,000 troops in total. The enclave was vast and sparsely populated and occupied a large area. Even if the order was issued at this moment and it would take two days to reach the Blackstone Bridge. When the news came, the war was afraid that it would be coming to an end.
What's more, if his orders change every day, he would never have expected any impact in the army. However, it is foreseeable that there will definitely be dissatisfaction with the generals, and it is very likely that the army will disrespect the orders as a whole. If such a thing really happens, the unity of the enclave will probably be broken.
If you fight, your life will be lost. If you are harmonious, your dignity will be lost.
The enclave leader was in a dilemma and could not make a decision for a while.
Although Ye Guan gave him a reason that he could not refuse, the enclave soldiers were definitely not the opponent of the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion. If the East Prince's Mansion really took a breath and the enclave was destroyed, it would be a matter of time. But the enclave leader was full of thoughts at this moment and could not make a decision.
Ye Guanyun was calm and gentle. He glanced at the chief of the enclave. Seeing his hesitant look, he smiled slightly, and knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Before coming to the enclave, Ye Guan had already practiced what would happen in his mind. What happened now did not exceed his expectations. The enclave leader hesitated, and Ye Guan had already understood it.
"Sir, please don't hesitate." Ye Guan chuckled at the chief of the enclave and said, "Even if the chief does not give orders and does not choose, someone will help the chief choose after tomorrow."
"Hmm?" The enclave leader was stunned when he heard this, looked at Ye Guan in confusion, and asked softly: "Lord Ye, what does this mean?"
"Ask the leader to fight and be harmonious, what I asked about is the leader's attitude, not the situation outside." Ye Guan smiled and said, "No matter whether the leader fights or be harmonious, the battle in Wufeng City is inevitable now. The leader's decision will control your own life and death and work with the Wufeng City method to avoid the loss of the enclave people. This plan has no meaning from the moment he is controlled.
It is meaningless to the chief of the enclave, but it does not mean that it is meaningless to all the enclave soldiers. Among the enclaves, there are still many generals who strongly oppose surrendering to the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Surrender without a fight is regarded as a shame and will never be accepted.
Let Liu Yuan convey the order of the enclave leader to close the city gate. The enclave leader and Ye Guan stood up and went straight to the prison in Wufeng City.
Long before when they were disarmed, the soldiers guarding the city felt that Wufeng City had surrendered and had no intention of fighting. At this moment, the enclave leader entered the prison and told them about the surrender, but did not cause any trouble among the soldiers.
The chief of the enclave was also the lord of Wufeng City, and the defenders of Wufeng City were all the direct troops of Wufeng City Lord. The chief of the enclave ordered all the soldiers to pick up weapons and guard Wufeng City with the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. All the soldiers of the enclave did not resist.
Wufeng City is their home. Even though Ye Guan took the absolute control of Wufeng City, he did not make any moves in the city. Instead, he maintained the previous appearance of Wufeng City and allowed the people to live and work in peace. Most people even did not know that Wufeng City had changed hands. This news reached the ears of the soldiers of Wufeng City, which made them not feel disgusted with the East Prince's Mansion and Ye Guan himself.
Moreover, after leaving the prison, he picked up weapons, which was also the order of the enclave leader. They were still loyal to the enclave leader, and the enclave leader was still the lord of Wufeng City. This would never change. Ye Guan also promised in public that if the East Prince's Mansion took over Wufeng City, nothing would have changed before. Even if the East Prince's Mansion entered the enclave, it would choose another place to build a city and would not seize an inch of Wufeng City.
In this way, the defenders in Wufeng City changed from enemy troops to friendly forces, and the chiefs of enclaves changed from enemies to allies.
This series of changes seems a bit strange, but it is reasonable.
The leader of the enclave was considering the future of the entire enclave. He used a plan to attract the Eastern Palace to enter the long-term development of the enclave. He thought that the Eastern Palace had already been out of power, and after he surrendered, the position of the Chief was not guaranteed. However, after contacting Ye Guan, he realized that his previous thoughts were very narrow. Even if the Eastern Palace was at the end of his strength, he was able to capture the entire enclave. The Northern King gave him this idea, simply to hold back some of the new forces of the Eastern Palace so that he could let go of his hands and feet on the front battlefield.
Besides, Ye Guan promised that even if he surrendered, the position of the chief of the enclave was his own. The Eastern Prince's Mansion only occupied the enclave area in name but would not really participate in the governance of the enclave. Apart from the normal food and wages that need to be paid, the Eastern Prince's Mansion would not take an extra cent. As the strategic depth of the Enclave, for the Eastern Prince's Mansion, what he most hopes to see is a peaceful handover rather than a huge war.
As for why not directly order all soldiers to put down their weapons, Ye Guan and the enclave leader's ideas are almost the same.
The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. If the order to surrender is really issued at this moment, not only the battlefield of Wufeng City, but also the entire enclave will be involved in endless wars, and the enclave that has just been unified will once again fall into division.
What the Dongwang Mansion and the enclave leader wanted was a unified enclave, not a city and a pool.
The gate of Wufeng City was closed. After the order to surrender to the Eastern Prince's Mansion in the city was announced, it did not cause any uproar in the city.
Because the enclave leader is still there, the enclave leader leads the soldiers of Wufeng City to unify the entire enclave. His majesty in Wufeng City is equivalent to the majesty of the Eastern King in the Eastern Palace. His order is the will.
Since then, the defense of Wufeng City began to be interspersed with shifts, and each squad of sergeants was fused with Wufeng City defenders and Dongwangfu soldiers to better complete the defense matters.
And the enclave leader can finally return to his bedroom and take a rest.
As night comes, the bright moon is in the sky, and the lights are already brightly lit in Wufeng City.
Ye Guan, sitting in the main hall of Wufeng City, his face was as deep as water.
He did everything in Wufeng City and did it to the extreme. He did everything outside for the rest of his life.
If the battle can be maintained for the rest of his life and fight to the vicinity of Wufeng City, Ye Guan and Yusheng should cooperate inside and outside and catch the defense soldiers outside off guard, and the battle in Wufeng City can be safely taken down.
