Chapter 955: Next Steps
In the early morning, the restoration of Yifeng City walls had been basically completed. After a night, Huang Yuchen did not receive any information from the breeder.
It seems that the Xiwang Mansion really gave up Yifeng City, but Huang Yuchen felt something was wrong.
Not only was there no trace of the Xiwangfu troops found to the north, but the direction of Zhangyang City was also very quiet, as if reinforcements were not excluded at all.
The existence of Yifeng City seems to be like dragging Mingyuan City to make them unable to do other things.
After a night, Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, and he couldn't figure out the problem.
Because the information is not perfect, Huang Yuchen didn't know some things at all, but the implementation is like this now. If the Xiwangfu really gave up Yifeng City, the actions they made before seemed to be just doing things.
Huang Yuchen was wondering if there was such a possibility.
The Xiwang Mansion deliberately lured the Mingyuan City Division to attack Yifeng City, in order to send troops to Mingyuan City, so that other places would no longer cause trouble for the Xiwang Mansion.
The Xiwang Mansion threw out the entire Chihong Mountain area as bait to lure Mingyuan City to come to Yifeng City, but the real purpose of the Xiwang Mansion was in other directions.
But now, no matter what, they are just speculations. Without intelligence support, any speculation and deduction have no factual basis.
Huang Yuchen had actually obtained all the things he wanted to obtain when he was dispatched this time. Now he occupied Yifeng City, and the Mingyuan City army was also under his control.
There is only one Zhangyang City left in the entire Chihong Mountain area. This city is surrounded and there is no road to the outside world. The final choice is probably to surrender to Huang Yuchen.
Just as Huang Yuchen was thinking about this question, a series of steps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Report!"
Huang Yuchen looked up and frowned.
"explain!"
"Report to the Prince, the criminal Shi Fei fled from prison last night while the defenders were unprepared, and now he is missing!"
The school that came in immediately responded loudly to Huang Yuchen. After hearing the news, Huang Yuchen suddenly frowned.
This matter was ignored by him.
Shi Fei surrendered, and his sins were hard to clear. Huang Yuchen planned to deal with Shi Fei after he completely controlled Mingyuan City.
But I didn't expect him to run away overnight.
Last night, the whole city was busy repairing the city wall and strengthening the defense, and no one was willing to do so.
Huang Yuchen's survivors were also sent out, and no one was guarding them.
"Who guarded the prison last night? I brought me to see me!" Huang Yuchen frowned.
A Shi Fei is actually not worth mentioning, but the information in his mind is still very valuable.
If Shi Fei goes to the Western Prince's Mansion, it will be very threatening to Huang Yuchen now.
After all, Shi Fei is more familiar with the situation in Chihong Mountain than Huang Yuchen. He has always been the lord of Mingyuan City, and there are many people in the army who are his confidants.
Now Shi Fei has escaped. If he encourages the Western Prince's Mansion to make a comeback, it will pose a great threat to Huang Yuchen.
Huang Yuchen frowned, and then two soldiers pressed a sergeant and walked in. The sergeant entered the martial arts palace and knelt directly on the ground without saying a word.
"Is it your prison last night?" Huang Yuchen looked at the sergeant kneeling on the ground.
The soldier was already trembling with fear. He just kept kowtowing and forgot to say anything.
"When did the Shi Fei discover that he disappeared?" Huang Yuchen asked.
"This morning, someone went to the prison to deliver food and found that the prison gate was open. Then he found that Shi Fei was missing."
"What are you doing as a guard at that time?" Huang Yuchen looked at the sergeant kneeling on the ground again, and his heart was filled with anger.
The man was trembling all over and couldn't say a word. He knew that he had made a big mistake and would definitely not be able to survive.
"When Shi Fei found out that this person was sleeping, not because he had been drugged, but because he couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep to death!"
The two sergeants who pressed the sergeant looked angry.
This is the first time they have done something in front of Huang Yuchen, and they are doing something big about defending the city.
Such a mistake at this time will make Huang Yuchen doubt the entire Mingyuan City troops. This is no longer a problem for him, a soldier himself.
"Pull it down and follow the military law!" Huang Yuchen frowned and gave the order directly.
The two soldiers pulled the soldier straight down. The soldier was already trembling and had no resistance at all. They let them drag him down directly.
Then, the soldier was killed in the city of Yifeng City and was confused.
At such a critical moment, he saw that he lost the key prisoner, which had an impact on the entire situation, so it was naturally impossible for the sergeant to survive.
But Shi Fei, the guard, only released one person, which was also Huang Yuchen's negligence, or in other words, the negligence of all the generals in Mingyuan City.
From this small matter, Huang Yuchen saw many problems.
He was wondering how many people in this army were loyal to Shi Fei.
With so many soldiers in the city, why didn’t anyone see Shi Fei escaping?
Yifeng City is so big. If no one saw it at all, Huang Yuchen would definitely not believe it.
But this is no longer the time to investigate this matter.
Shi Fei's escape will definitely lead to a series of chain reactions. It's okay if Huang Yuchen doesn't move now, but if he moves, he will inevitably cause panic. This is the biggest taboo among the troops.
Although Huang Yuchen has obtained command of the entire army and has allowed these soldiers to accept him to a certain extent, things are not as simple as it seems. If Huang Yuchen wants to completely control this army, he still has a long way to go.
All the soldiers in the hall went down. Zhuang Lexian walked out from the side and asked Huang Yuchen softly: "Do you want me to get him back?"
Huang Yuchen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "There is no need. It may be a good thing for us to escape."
"You are really awesome. He knows a lot of things, and he knows everything that you don't know now." Zhuang Lexian said.
"It is precisely because of this that I say this is a good thing." Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and said, "If Shi Fei did not attack, how could I know who is finally me and who is loyal to him in the army?"
When Zhuang Lexian heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.
Huang Yuchen was right, things have two sides. Shi Fei's escape may cause some unnecessary trouble, but for Huang Yuchen, this may not be a bad thing.
If Shi Fei encouraged the Western Prince's Mansion to come and conquer him, Huang Yuchen would immediately know who was loyal to him and who was rebellious in the army.
But now Shi Fei has just escaped, and even if he goes to surrender to the Western Prince's Mansion now, he will not be able to make a comeback immediately.
What Huang Yuchen needs to consider now is whether to keep Yifeng City or completely destroy Yifeng City, and return to Mingyuan City.
According to strategic considerations, Yifeng City is still very useful.
If the Western King's Mansion makes a comeback, Yifeng City is the only way to go. Leaving some defenders here can also give the rear more time to prepare.
But when we were discussing before, what the generals said was not unreasonable.
Now Zhangyang City has not surrendered. If you want to occupy Yifeng City, you must mobilize food and grass from the direction of Mingyuan City.
The safety of the food road is a problem with the five-day distance between the two cities.
If you want to defend Yifeng City, then Zhang Yang City must be taken down.
Only by completely occupying the entire Chihong Mountain area can Yifeng City show its role, otherwise, this city will be just a useless person.
"Tell me the order to order all soldiers to repair the troops on the spot, and leave no more than one hundred soldiers on the city walls."
Huang Yuchen thought for a while, and then gave an order.
The school outside heard the order and bowed to Huang Yuchen and ran down quickly.
Huang Yuchen finally decided to attack Zhangyang City, and he could not wait for Zhangyang City to surrender.
Before Zhangyang City surrendered, many other things might not happen. It is safest to hold the city in your own hands.
The soldiers of Mingyuan City made a long journey and began to attack the city near Yifeng City. After the siege, the city was restored. It was at the end of its strength and now it must be repaired.
There is no difference between a force without strength and a group of mobs.
Huang Yuchen planned to give the soldiers two days of renovation, and then he brought some of his troops to Zhangyang City, but he had not yet decided who would defend Yifeng City.
Huang Yuchen was not familiar with these generals in Mingyuan City. They had just surrendered, so Huang Yuchen could not hand over such an important transportation route to a general who had just surrendered for a while.
But this time Huang Yuchen came out, only Zhuang Lexian and twenty living people followed him. Zhuang Lexian was not a general at all. It would be better to let him die if he wanted to defend the city.
But when Huang Yuchen attacked Zhangyang City, he had to take action on his own, and this matter suddenly became his trouble.
There are too few people available at hand, and it has always been a problem facing Huang Yuchen.
The newly surrendered generals have not yet gained the trust of Huang Yuchen, so he cannot give them to them, and his own people are not around now.
Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and suddenly a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Zhuang Lexian was glanced at by Huang Yuchen and his whole body trembled. A bad premonition surged into his heart. He immediately said, "What are you looking at? Your eyes are so sinister?"
"Lao Zhuang, I'll discuss something with you." Huang Yuchen rubbed his hands and looked at Zhuang Lexian.
"Don't! Don't talk, I don't agree!" Zhuang Lexian immediately stood up. When he saw Huang Yuchen's expression, he knew that he was not at ease.
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Aren't you afraid of heaven and earth?" Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and smiled.
"Don't, I'm afraid of you." Zhuang Lexian quickly waved his hand and said, "Can you be more normal? Just say what you want to do, don't look at me with this look."
"Can you go back to Chikang City and get Wang Junliang for me?" Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and expressed his thoughts.
