Chapter 229 Yanmen County
Dongjun, the city lord's mansion,
"Young Master, I'm guilty..." Zhao Yun knelt on one knee and leaned on the ground with a dragon gall gun in his hand, not daring to raise his head.
Ye Yang sat upright at the table, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and said, "Zhao Yun, you are finally back. I've brought it back. What news has been given to me."
Zhao Yun lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I have a heavy trust from the young master, but I have not been able to intercept the pre-Qin Iron Cavalry in the Qingyun Mountains."
"What."
Ye Yang suddenly stood up and said, "The pre-Qin iron cavalry is covered with scars, and the speed of moving must be unfast. You have failed to chase and kill them with four thousand elite Vermilion Bird cavalry. You... aren't you kidding me, if these 40,000 pre-Qin iron cavalry are not eliminated, our Dongjun City will be in danger."
"This, the young master can rest assured."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Zhao Yun raised his head and said, "When I arrived at the west side of the Qingyun Mountains, I found that all the pre-Qin cavalry had been massacred in the canyon, and none of them survived. Even Meng Jun died under the gun of the mysterious master. His throat was stabbed through with a gun, and there was no trace of battle at all."
"Still Meng Jun to death with one shot." Ye Yang frowned: "Who is so strong? He can kill a starry sky strongman in one turn. Zhao Yun, have you found out?"
"Yes, young master, I checked the horse hoof marks of the opponent's battle formation and the broken weapons abandoned, and found that it was the most elite overlord cavalry in the Chu army camp. The elite iron cavalry brought by Xiang Yu from Jiangdong was about 20,000 people, very elite, comparable to the Suzaku Cavalry."
"Xiang Yu,."
Ye Yang suddenly stood up, his eyes cold, and he laughed: "Finally, can't Xiang Yu help but take action? Humph, there are not many people in the world who can kill Meng Jun in one blow, and Xiang Yu is one of them. That's right. If it were Xiang Yu, everything would be explained."
Zhao Yun nodded: "Yes."
At this moment, the government reported that
"General Wang Lie asked to see his lord."
"Come in."
With the sound of footsteps, Wang Lie wore a red cloak and walked in majestic, holding a battle knife in his hand, with a proud look on his face, and said with a smile: "Sir, I have completed half of the mission. In the Qingyun Mountains, we have captured nearly 20,000 Suzaku beasts. Liu Meng and his men are still continuing to capture. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be able to collect 50,000 Suzaku Iron Cavalry within 7 days. At that time, the iron cavalry under the command of the Adult will be equipped with Suzaku beasts. Now, 20,000 Suzaku cavalry are resting in the camp of Hengshan County, waiting for dispatch."
"Very good." Ye Yangxi said: "Thank you for your hard work, sit down and have a cup of tea first..."
Wang Lie nodded: "Thank you sir."
...
After tasting a bit of strong tea, Wang Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, our strong defeat of Wang Li's army this time should be considered as a breath of excitement for the Allied Army. Next, it depends on how Xiang Yu does. Xiang Yu has the courage to fight against ten thousand people, and Zhang Han will probably not be his opponent. Zhang Han's defeat is only a matter of time. It is best to prepare early before Xiang Yu takes advantage of the victory to defeat the Qin army."
"Oh, what's the preparation?" Ye Yang was surprised.
Wang Lie grinned: "In the Chu Army Alliance, all the princes were ulterior motives. Xiang Yu was arrogant, arrogant and looked down on talents. Once he defeated Zhang Han, Xiang Yu would definitely seize all his military achievements and gained his own military power. Perhaps he would even attack His Majesty Huai of Chu. The Lord was the General Zhendong granted by King Huai, which was equivalent to King Huai's right-hand man. Once Xiang Yu wanted to inherit the emperor's order, he would be a thorn in Xiang Yu's eyes and a thorn in the flesh. Therefore, once Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han, his next goal would be us, and we must make plans early."
Ye Yang smiled with approval: "Okay, Wang Lie, you can see it very thoroughly. Yes, maybe Xiang Yu will not attack us, but Fan Zeng, the adviser under Xiang Yu, is a cunning man. Under his instigation, Xiang Yu is extremely likely to use troops to us. However, I think with the 100,000 elite troops in our Qingshan Fortress, it is enough to resist Xiang Yu's army."
Wang Lie shook his head and said, "Sir, if Yi Yu gets Zhang Han's 200,000 troops, do you still think that Qingshan Camp can withstand the iron hoofs of the Xiang family army?"
Ye Yang pondered: "Probably not, then what should we do?"
Wang Lie grinned: "Simple, sir, look at the map. After Xiang Yu took down Julu, there were two choices: one was to go straight to Guanzhong and the other was to attack Hengshan County from the east. Therefore, once Zhang Han was defeated, we must respond immediately and snatch a large piece of fat from Xiang Yu's mouth."
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile: "May the big fat meat is...the land of Wei and Zhao."
"That's right."
Wang Lie reached out and pointed to a small blood-red dot on the map and said, "Sir, three hundred miles away from Hengshan County are the county towns on the border of Zhao State. Yanmen County, the city of Woyang, Zhongling, Wuzhou, Pingcheng and other cities in Yanmen County are strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once Yanmen County is taken down, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the land of Yan State and the land of Zhao State. We can traverse the northeast and control the King of Yan, so that it can be used by us."
Ye Yang nodded: "Well, it's a place where military strategists must fight for. With our strong Suzaku Cavalry, we arrived within half a day and attacked within half a day. It seems not difficult. However, this may also cause us to be attacked from both sides. Is it worth it for a mere Yanmen County?"
"worth."
Wang Lie said sincerely, "There is a Qingyao Mountain in Yanmen County. This is a natural ore mountain. It is rich in a kind of ore iron called 'Qingyao Stone'. Smelting Qingyao Stone can obtain very pure iron tools. The sharp blade made of Qingyao Stone is very sharp and can cut stones and divide gold. Do you still remember the scene when our Suzaku Cavalry and Wang Li's Iron Cavalry attacked? Our weapons are not sure enough to cut the armor of the other iron cavalry. Therefore, once we control Yanmen County, we will mine and melt the Qingyao Stone and let the Suzaku Cavalry equip the weapons made of Qingyao Stone. Why worry that the Suzaku Cavalry cannot dominate the world for you."
Ye Yang was excited when he heard this: "Okay, then, we must take down this Yanmen County."
"Well, it's better not to be late..." Wang Lie paused and said, "I have learned that Xiang Yu had sent Zhonglimei to lead a scout cavalry to Qingyao Mountain in Yanmen County. Obviously, Xiang Yu also intends to be Qingyao Mountain. Once he gains control of Qingyao Mountain, he will have an absolute advantage in weapons."
"good."
Ye Yang held the iron cavalry tightly, stood up, and smiled and said, "Send an order to pack up and leave 30,000 people to defend Dongjun. The rest followed me to Qingshan Fortress in Hengshan County overnight, preparing to set out for Yanmen County."
"yes."
...
In the palace,
When Ye Yang found Mingyue and Yun Xiaoxi, he found two strong girls discussing the laws of cultivation. Yun Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yang with some concern, and only felt relieved after finding that he had no defects.
Mingyue looked at Ye Yang and said, "I heard that you sent someone to the Qingyun Mountains to intercept Meng Jun's troops."
Ye Yang shook his head quickly: "No, how could I be the kind of person who is different from others?"
"Hmph." Mingyue questioned a little and said, "Ye Yang, you are not allowed to lie to me."
"Of course not..."
Ye Yang smiled and said, "However, when the 40,000 iron cavalry you want to protect, when entering the west side of the Qingyun Mountains, they were intercepted and killed by Xiang Yu's overlord cavalry, without leaving any one. Look, I said, if I don't kill, naturally someone will kill them. There are countless unjust death souls under the sword of these 40,000 iron cavalry in the pre-Qin period, everyone will be killed. Xiang Yu has killed them now. Mingyue, should you do your best to heaven and teach Xiang Yu a lesson that boy who doesn't know how high the sky is."
Mingyue was stunned: "Xiang Yu, that Xiang Yu from Jiangdong."
"That's right."
"snort."
Mingyue snorted lightly, held the staff and said, "Then I'm going. How can such a cruel and tyrannical person be appointed as the general..."
Ye Yang couldn't help but shake his head,
"What kind of expression do you have?" Mingyue glared at him.
Ye Yang said: "Mingyue, you are so stubborn and simple. What kind of master is that you are so relieved to let you go down the mountain alone. I am worried that if you go to the Chu army camp, you will easily be deceived by Xiang Yu's advisers Fan Zeng, Chen Ping and others..."
Mingyue smiled dissatisfiedly and said, "Why, wait and see, I will definitely convince Xiang Yu to convince others with virtue and not commit murder in vain."
As he said that, a green luster floated under Mingyue's feet, floating into the sky, flying straight towards Julu County,
...
Yun Xiaoxi looked up at Ye Yang and said helplessly: "Why are you laughing like this? You deserve a beating..."
Ye Yang tried his best to close his ears and said, "My sister Mingyue is indeed an idiot. She actually went to find Xiang Yu. It's okay, let Xiang Yu teach her a lesson. Humph, the people from Qinglin Mountain are all this kind of temperament? If they weren't for their strong strength, they would have been taken back by the state government as concubines."
Yun Xiaoxi smiled meaningfully: "Oh, do you also want to take Senior Sister Mingyue to a concubine?"
Ye Yang fought a cold war: "Why...why, Xiaoxi, we are ready to set off immediately and go to Hengshan County to meet Yan Yao, okay?"
"Um."
Chapter completed!
