Chapter 433: The Sword Points to the Imperial Capital
Xiao Yibo surprisingly did not refute Huang Yuanwu's words. He quietly looked at the young man in front of him, and there was a hint of vicissitudes on his firm face. After a few months, Huang Yuanwu had grown from a general who was the only one to a real commander. Xiao Yibo nodded secretly and felt very relieved.
There is indeed none of the four descendants of the Dongwang Mansion.
"What should you do later when you lead your troops to the imperial capital? Let them open the city and hand over Yang Qin?" Xiao Yibo still asked the question in his heart. He didn't think too much about these things. He only knew that in the full struggle, strength is the most important thing. Without enough strength, he would be ruthlessly eliminated.
Huang Yuanwu smiled slightly at Xiao, but did not directly answer his question. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle Xiao, I know what you think, but this trip to the imperial capital is afraid that I really cannot achieve this goal. The first priority of this trip to this time is to delay time."
"Oh..." Xiao Yibo frowned, sat back on the chair with great anger, then looked at Huang Yuanwu and said, "You can do it. If I don't need my old bones, I won't go." After that, he stood up, turned around and went out, without saying a word.
Huang Yuanwu looked at Xiao Yibo's back, the originally strong back, and had lost a lot of weight. Over the past few months, Xiao Yibo has almost carried out all the matters of preparing military and horses in the East Prince's Mansion with his own strength, including cleaning up the enemy spies inside the Prince's Mansion. He was really tired.
"Uncle Xiao has changed a little recently." Yu Sheng's voice came in an untimely manner, and his voice was very low: "Whatever he was thinking in his heart, you and I know that he values friendship the most in his life. He knows the news that the old prince died in battle. It is not appropriate that he did not lead Pingjincheng's troops to kill the God Capital without authorization."
"I know." Huang Yuanwu nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Xiao can see more clearly in the current situation than us, he just won't say it."
Xiao Yibo's figure disappeared in the front yard and left the yard. Huang Yuanwu sighed softly, and then asked Yu Sheng: "Are the troops ready?"
"The 150,000 troops you want have gathered outside the city." Yu Sheng returned: "The 50,000 cavalry are all elite, and the food, supplies have been distributed. Little Prince, are you sure that this expedition does not require long-term supplies?"
"No need." Huang Yuanwu said: "No accident, within twenty days, the army will return, and this time we go to the imperial capital, there should be no war. Emperor Zhengchu is not a fool. He has dragged our Eastern Palace for so long, and he will not be confused at this critical moment. Although we all know that we will inevitably face each other in the end, now is not the time."
"Once he has obtained the throne, he will definitely attack us." Yu Sheng was still a little worried, but there was no good solution. He has been thinking about this matter recently, but there is no way to solve it. Whenever this time, he missed Ye Guan very much, but Yu Sheng didn't know that Ye Guan might never come back.
"Things are not as simple as imagined. Look, Yang Qin is definitely not a good-looking lamp. He will force himself into the death realm, which is absolutely impossible." Huang Yuanwu's eyes were deep. He always believed that the leader of the guards who suddenly rebelled was definitely not as simple as it seemed. He must have a bigger plan to implement, because the current situation in the imperial capital seems to be very unfavorable to him. If he had not made any moves after he obtained the imperial capital, Huang Yuanwu would never believe this.
"How about Yuchen?" Unable to figure out these things, Yu Sheng simply stopped asking, changed the topic and asked Huang Yuchen.
"He is still like that, he has been in a coma for almost a month. His injuries have been healed, but he has not woken up." When it comes to Huang Yuchen, Huang Yuanwu also had a headache. No one can explain Huang Yuchen's condition now. Whether in terms of meridian Dou Qi or physical condition, Huang Yuchen has returned to his peak state. He has no physical problems at all, but he has been in a coma and has not woken up at all.
Liu Xing'an and Qi Zhengye have been guarding Huang Yuchen's side, almost inseparable, but even he and he have never seen such a situation.
Generally, people who are seriously injured and unconscious will have some disordered breath. If a practitioner is a practitioner, the Dou Qi in the meridians will become messy. But Huang Yuchen's condition is different. His breath is calm and there is no trace of chaos. The Dou Qi in the meridians flows normally. There is no problem with each cycle, but he just can't wake up.
"I brought him to Pingjin City this time because I was a little worried about putting him in the royal palace." Huang Yuanwu said in a deep voice: "Although the attack on Tianqing City has been calmed down, the person who spyed on the secrets of my royal palace is still there, Yuchen's identity has been made public. After I leave, the royal palace will no longer be safe. Brother Yu, you..."
Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuanwu's eagerness to speak but stopped, and immediately nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."
"Huh..." Huang Yuanwu let out a long sigh, and then he said to himself, "Things are much more complicated than imagined. In this world, there is really a heaven beyond heaven and there are people beyond man."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, he looked at Huang Yuanwu and fell into deep thought.
...
Huang Yuanwu and his guards repaired the city for a day, and the next morning, the army set out.
Fifty thousand soldiers were in a mighty manner, leaving the city wall being built, entering the vast Gobi Desert, and heading straight to the imperial capital.
Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo stood on the head of Pingjin City, looking at the team gradually moving away, the expressions on their faces were a little heavy.
Huang Yuanwu's expedition this time may change the current situation. If you are not careful, the Eastern Prince's Mansion will become the target of public criticism. But the current situation is like this, but you have to go there.
The new emperor ascended the throne. Even though he knew that he was a puppet emperor, should he respect the new emperor or oppose the new emperor? These two paths seem to be not so peaceful.
The Qitian Empire is about to change the sky, and there is no doubt about this. As for what will become later, no one knows.
Huang Yuanwu took away 50,000 new soldiers who had completed the new training this time. These soldiers received Xiao Yipeng's devil-like training and were already full of confidence in taking the battlefield.
Pingjin City suddenly lost 150,000 soldiers, and suddenly became much deserted. Xiao Yibo glanced at Yu Sheng who was standing beside him and whispered: "The recruits still need to continue to recruit. We are afraid that our current troops are still far away."
Yu Sheng nodded gently when he heard this, and then said, "But now, what we lack is not troops, but time."
Then, the two of them went down the city wall and went to work on their own signs.
Yu Sheng was responsible for the continued construction of the city wall on the edge of the Gobi Desert, while Xiao Yibo was responsible for what he was best at, training.
The current development model of the Eastern Prince's Mansion does take time. The southern territory is vast, and it is blocked by a towering mountain range between it and the Qitian Empire. There is no road for mutual access, which makes the entire vast southern territory a unique line.
With such a vast land, there are not many tribes living on it. Although the land in the southern border is vast, most of them are undeveloped virgin lands. Most areas are covered with jungles, including many poisonous insects and beasts, and swamps and mist. This is one of the reasons why the tribes in the southern border have not been able to grow and grow for a long time.
It is impossible for the Eastern Prince's Mansion to complete the development of the Southern Kingdom without decades. This is why, the strategy set by the old prince was to take the enclave first. Although the Southern Kingdom is a very good strategic depth, all the contexts need to be rebuilt, which takes too long. In this long period of time, no one can tell what will happen to the entire empire.
But now, the facts before Huang Yuanwu are like this. Enclaves will definitely not be able to march again. If the matter in Tianqing City is not eliminated, the enclaves cannot be affected by the Eastern Prince's Mansion. It takes time to develop the southern border and establish a city to reproduce and survive.
Huang Yanghui did a very good job in the southern border, and the location of the main city had been selected. He was in preparation for construction. He did not know the turmoil that had happened in the royal palace, but just regarded it as a small matter and did not take it to heart.
He deeply understood how important it is to develop the Southern Kingdom to the Eastern Palace. Although he has been conquering all his life and is a powerful general on the battlefield who is looking down on the battlefield, he is not sure of letting him rest and recuperate. In addition to the 50,000 soldiers, there are also millions of people who have been recently drawn from the hinterland of the Eastern Palace by Huang Yuanwu. These people are now temporarily living in the only city between the Southern Kingdom and the Royal Palace, which seems very crowded.
Huangyanghui had to let more people live outside the city, cut down the surrounding trees to build houses and build new cities. After all, opening up new territory cannot be completed overnight, it is a lasting task.
The first group of craftsmen responsible for building the city have arrived at this location under the protection of the troops. Their current work is mainly to cut down trees, prepare all the things to apply, and to level the open space between the mountains.
Such work is heavy and inefficient, but it is something that has to be done. It is extremely important to build a city that cannot be settled.
Huang Yanghui has always been on the front line and lives with all the craftsmen and soldiers. In addition to commanding construction, he also took the battle personally. After all, compared with ordinary people, cultivators are much faster in terms of strength and efficiency.
As for the three people Huang Yuanwu arranged to pretend to be Huang Yuchen by his side, Huang Yanghui was always with him. He knew the importance of these people. If someone really stared at Huang Yuchen, he would definitely have actions after getting the news.
On this day, the wind was sunny, and there were many tents at the foot of the Nanjie Mountains and in the jungle, in a dense temporary living area.
These white marching tents are very conspicuous in the green area of the jungle. In one of the inconspicuous tents, Huang Yanghui is resting.
This time he came out, he did not bring the general's tent. In order to get more supplies, he himself chose this small marching tent. This often appears in his daily marching, and his subordinates have long been used to it.
The vicinity of the rest and reclamation area has been cleared and temporary fortifications have been established, mainly to block wild animals from the jungle. The southern area is rarely visited by people, and there are no strangers except the city a hundred miles away.
In the distance, under the mountains, many workers were working, and a large area of forest had been cut down. Now they are building rock walls at the foot of the mountain, which will be a long project.
In the morning camp, there were no people, and a large number of workers were working at the foot of the mountain, and most of the rest were preparing. The entire camp was very quiet.
