Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 431
On the third day, as night fell, a cold light flashed over Qinghuan City, and the messenger sword-feathered eagle instantly rushed into the waiting hands of the snare messenger.

Soon the letter reached Zhao Gao.

When Zhao Gao appeared at the Prince of Chu's mansion, Li Yuan, Jia Xu, Meng Tian, ​​Yuwen Chengdu, Zhong Limei, Ma Chao and other senior officials were already waiting here.

At this time, Li Yuan was sitting on the main seat, with a majestic face, showing a solemn majesty with wisps of domineering air.

All the generals sat at attention, not squinting.

Zhao Gao reported directly:

"Your Highness, the Qingmu City army began to leave the city this morning. Tang Cangtuo is the commander-in-chief, and Lei Zhengwu, Lu Houhong, Ding Qingming and other generals have a total of 40 troops heading to Fengzhou. Through the information from Xu Heng and Anzi, it has been determined that King Yu is hiding In the army.

The three major forces of the Lianzhou Alliance, Ice and Snow Pavilion, Yundu Valley, and Fengxue Tower, with a total of 50 troops, also followed.

Now the net is tracking their whereabouts all the time. "

The 40 plus 50 troops make up a full 90 troops.

This made Song Kong, Zhou Xuan and others take a breath of cold air.

Originally, they thought that even if King Yu sent troops to Fengzhou, it would only be three to four hundred thousand at most, but they did not expect that he would send half of Aoki City's troops.

Then can they still ambush King Yu's army?

Since they sent so many troops, it would be better not to ambush them, but to attack Aoki City directly.

However, Aoki City still has 90 million troops, which is difficult to break.

This is how to do?
Everyone looked at Li Yuan with worried eyes.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan smiled, looked at the worried eyes of everyone and said confidently:

"Haha, now that the matter is over, Gu won't hide it from you anymore. Gu secretly reached a cooperation with the eldest princess, and now the imperial army is our ally!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Yuan in surprise.

"Your Highness, are you serious about this?"

Xu Kuang and Song Kong couldn't help but ask, if it is true, the chance to defeat King Yu is right in front of them!

At the end, Ran Qi looked at Li Yuan with bulging eyes and looked expectantly.

"Of course!"

Li Yuan pointed far away and said with a slightly proud look on his face: "The eldest princess wants to defeat Yangzhou and Liangzhou, and Gu wants to defeat King Yu. Our goals are the same. Three days ago, the imperial army secretly rushed to Lianhan Mansion. We plan to Meet at Yunhan Gorge and ambush King Yu there!"

Xu Kuang, Song Kong, Liu Qingquan and many other venerables opened their eyes wide with a flash of fire.

Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Fang Shiyuan, Song Zhi, Leng Tao and other generals all had a fierce look in their eyes and were full of fighting spirit.

Ran Qiba, who was at the back, clenched his fists and looked excited.

Li Yuan scanned everyone's expressions and continued:
"The imperial army has a total of 50 troops. It is necessary to ambush and completely destroy King Yu's 90 troops. Gu plans to send 50 troops out of the city and leave 30 troops to guard it!"

As soon as Li Yuan's words came out, many generals frowned and looked worried.

Fang Shiyuan hesitated and said: "Your Highness, Qingmu City still has half of its troops. If we send 50 troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult for these 30 troops to defend it."

Song Zhi, Leng Tao and other generals nodded one after another. There were at least 90 million troops in Aoki City.

"No problem, Yunhan Gorge is a decisive battle. Huanqing City only needs to be guarded for a few days. When we take down King Yu, the army in Qingmu City will be nothing more than a handful of scattered sand, not to mention that we are still in Qingmu City. There is no need to be afraid of the Anzi and the eldest princess!" Li Yuan rejected the suggestions of these generals with a wave of his hand.

Fang Shiyuan, Song Zhi and others could only nod their heads after hearing this.

Li Yuan's aura changed, his gaze became sharp, and a majestic aura circulated.

Everyone's faces straightened up and their expressions became solemn.

Li Yuan's face was solemn, but his momentum was extremely strong, and he ordered loudly:
"Meng Tian!"

"The end is here!"

Meng Tian, ​​who looked calm, took a step forward.

"You will lead an army of 50 to Yunhan Gorge to join the imperial army!"

"Yes!"

"Zhongli Mei, Ma Chao!"

"The end is here!"

Zhong Lizhen and Ma Chao took a step together with sharp expressions on their faces.

"You two are the commanders of the battle, leading the Silver Dragon Legion and the Snow Lion Legion to follow Meng Tian!"

"Yes!"

"Fang Shiyuan, Song Zhi!"

Fang Shiyuan and Song Zhi took a step forward excitedly and said respectfully.

"The end is here!"

"You two are deputy generals, assisting Meng Tian in commanding the battle."

"Yes!"

"Song Hai, Liang..."

"The end will be..."

Seeing the generals being appointed, Xu Chu opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Yuan eagerly.

"Xu Chu, Guan Sheng, Leng Tao, you will be in charge of Huanqing City."

"Yes."

Xu Chu said weakly.

Guan Sheng and Leng Tao looked serious.

Li Yuan ignored Xu Chu's emotions and looked at the venerables.

"Xu Kuang, Xu Xiong, Wei Shan, Song Yaohui, Song Yaoyang, Song Kong, you six venerables will go with Meng Tian and follow Meng Tian along with your own powerful Tianwu realm men and follow Meng Tian's orders."

"Yes."

"Yuwen Chengdu, Li Mu, Liu Qingquan, Liu Chenfeng, and Jia Xu will guard Huanqing City together with Gu."

"Yes!"

"…………"

After all the assignments were completed, Li Yuan looked at the last remaining Ranqiba.

Li Yuan's solemn expression softened a little, and he looked at Ran Qiba with a smile:
"Elder Ran."

"Subordinates are here!"

Ran Qiba saw everyone's sharp eyes directed at him, especially Li Yuan's smiling eyes. Suddenly, he was excited. He looked at Li Yuan nervously in his heart, and cold sweat continued to break out from his back.

Could it be that what he did was discovered?

Ran Qiba quickly recalled everything during this period of time in his mind.

"You know the terrain of Lianhan Mansion clearly, so you also follow Meng Tian to Lianhan Mansion."

"Yes!"

Ran Qi raised her chest and raised her head, speaking in a loud voice.

He was so relieved inside that he was almost scared to death by Li Yuan.

With a smile on his face, Li Yuan continued to the crowd: "Everyone, today I will introduce another general who guards Huanqing City."

Everyone's eyes moved when they heard the words.

"Step!" "Step!" "Step!"

Outside the lobby, footsteps gradually sounded as Li Yuan's voice fell.A military general with a heavy back, a strong body, a big sword in his hand, and a stern face slowly walked into the lobby.

"Yan Liang!"

Xu Chu's eyes suddenly bulged, and the expressions of the others also changed, but not much. They had already seen His Highness's mysteriousness, and they just sighed inwardly where did His Highness recruit another general.

"That's right, this is the general Yan Liang who was sent to Fengzhou by Gu before. Since the alliance with the imperial army, Yan Liang has been sent back by Gu."

"Yan Liang has met everyone!"

Yan Liang was wearing exquisite black armor, his voice was deep, he was holding his fists, and his eyes were full of dark color, making everyone feel that this person was extraordinary.

Everyone returned their salutes one by one.

"General Yan Liang, long time no see."

Jia Xu, who had never spoken a word, smiled kindly when he saw Yan Liang.

"I have admired Military Master Jia for a long time." Yan Liang's face moved slightly and he said solemnly.

"Yan Liang, if you have a chance, come and have a fight?" Xu Chu's eyes showed a strong fighting spirit and his tone was complicated. He had never fought against Yan Liang in his previous life.

"Okay!" Yan Liang looked at Xu Chu and narrowed his eyes.

After Yan Liang continued to introduce each other to generals such as Yuwen Chengdu, Ma Chao, Guan Sheng, and Fang Shiyuan.

Li Yuan didn't have any extra words. He coughed lightly and returned to the topic:
"We will set off early tonight. I wish you all a triumphant return!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Everyone shouted in unison, with a fierce look in their eyes and full of momentum.

One by one, the generals strode away with solemn expressions. The troops under their command had been preparing for the attack two days ago.

Ran Qiba also had a serious face and was very urgent in his heart. He needed to immediately convey the news to His Highness that Huanqing City was sending troops out of the city. Once he followed the army out of the city, he would have no chance.

....................................

At noon, with the scorching sun in the sky, in Qingmu City, in Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Yu, who had "disappeared" among the people in Qingmu City, was sitting peacefully in the bamboo pavilion. Tang Muhui on the side reported:
"At this time, all our scouts hidden within thirty miles around Huanqing City have not been heard from. The King of Chu has sent an army out of the city secretly."

"Is there anything strange happening to the three brothers and sisters of the Fan family?"

Prince Yu didn't even raise his head and said calmly.

"No, they are very honest. Beiming Cangtuo keeps an eye on them." Tang Mu said.

"Where are Song Jiang and the others?"

Tang Mu still shook his head: "Song Jiang still looks seriously injured. Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others are guarding him. Lu Junyi has sent his most trusted subordinate Yan Qing to keep an eye on them."

Although Li Zongyi led most of his men to leave, Song Jiang had been heavily investigated by various lords and determined that he had been seriously injured. Because of Song Jiang's special nature, Song Jiang and his men were allowed to stay here.

In addition, Beiming Cangtuo has taken refuge with King Yu, and it can be said that the entire Aoki City is under King Yu's surveillance.

"Ah."

King Yu said calmly, with a calm expression.

"Step!" "Step!" "Step!"

The sound of rapid footsteps in the distance was heard. King Yu and Tang Muxun looked away and saw a bodyguard walking quickly with a letter in his hand.

"Your Highness, I have news about Ran Qiba."

Tang Mu's eyes were filled with joy, and he quickly picked up the letter held by the bodyguard and handed it to King Yu.

After Prince Yu took the message in his hand, he opened it and saw that his calm eyes finally became confused, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"It seems that the fifth brother's goal is still in Aoki City!"

King Yu casually handed the letter to Tang Mu.

Tang Mu's eyes moved slightly, he quickly took the letter and looked down.

The contents of Ran Qiba's letter clearly stated the 50 troops, generals, and venerables who went to Yunhan Gorge from Huanqing City, as well as the 30 troops left by Li Yuan, Yuwen Chengdu, and Jia Xu to guard Huanqing City, and they also In particular, Li Yuan secretly recalled Yan Liang from Fengzhou and guarded Huanqing City with Xu Chu, Guan Sheng and others.

After Tang Mu read the content of the letter, his first reaction was the same. He nodded and said:

"The purpose of the imperial army is to defeat us. It is best to leave us all in Lianzhou."

"And the King of Chu's goal is to drive us back, either defeat us or force us to leave Lianzhou."

"So he kept Yuwen Chengdu and Jia Xu, and transferred back Yan Liang from Fengzhou, which reflects his true intention, which is to break through Qingmu City!"

"As for the 30 troops guarding Fengding Town, we have not seen any signs of their troops leaving the city."

"So we can guess that King Chu's inner determination to destroy us with the imperial army is not strong. For King Chu, Fengzhou's defense is unbreakable. Here he broke through Qingmu City, causing Beiming Cangtuo and others to escape. The Lianzhou Alliance was defeated miserably. Without the power to resist, he will win this battle, and no force will interfere with his control of the four states."

Tang Mu's eyes flashed and he analyzed carefully.

The general guarding Fengzhou is Lu Bu. The king of Chu did not transfer Lu Bu back, but transferred Yan Liang back. This shows that the king of Chu is not worried about the situation in Fengzhou and chooses to let Lu Bu continue to guard it. It also shows that Fengzhou will not send a large army to Yunzhou. Hanxia goes to battle.

Huanqing City only has 30 troops, which is also a sign of weakness to Qingmu City.

The 50-strong army plus the ambush by the imperial army was enough to defeat the army they sent openly. If Aoki City learns of the ambush of King Yu, the remaining troops of King Yu in Aoki City will immediately go to Yunhan Valley. Support, then King Chu can take advantage of this opportunity to attack Qingmu City in one fell swoop.

Tang Mu said, "Your Highness, should we let General Tang and the others go around the main road to intercept the 50 troops sent by Huanqing City, and attack them from behind with General Du Longcheng behind them, so as to destroy the 50 troops!"

King Yu's eyes flashed, and finally he slowly shook his head and said:
"No, if the guess is correct, King Chu's scouts have been tracking General Tang's whereabouts. If Meng Tian notices General Tang's sudden changes and leads his troops to retreat to Huanqing City, then the success will be in vain."

King Yu looked calm. Why did he devise this plan? Wasn't it just to defeat the imperial army and the King of Chu in one fell swoop?

If the King of Chu senses something and keeps hiding in Huanqing City, even if they defeat the imperial army, they will have no choice but to withdraw from Lianzhou and rush back to Yangzhou.

After all, Yangzhou is also facing the threat of imperial troops.

King Yu stood up slowly, looking brightly in the direction of Huanqing City in the distance. After seeing the news about Huanqing City, he could finally feel relieved.

King Yu flicked his white sleeves and clasped his hands behind his back. His whole person naturally showed an elegant temperament that pointed the country and criticized Fang Qiu:
"Continue to execute the plan and let Luo Shouren and Beiming Cangtuo secretly send troops out of the city at night. In the end, only 20 troops will be left to guard the entire Aoki City.

Even if the King of Chu wants to take Qingmu City, what if we let him take it!
After we eliminate the main force of the million-strong army ambushed in Yunhan Valley, how can a mere 30-strong army stop us! "

"Yes!"

Tang Mu leaned over and said respectfully.

When Tang Mu raised his head, the figure of Prince Yu had already disappeared...

........................

Zhongzhou has a vast territory and abundant resources, and Zhongyang Mansion is a relatively large one among the eighteen mansions in Zhongzhou.

After Liu Jin spread the news about Fang Wukui, he also planned to go to the Zhongzhou border to wait for news about the Lianzhou war.

Just as Liu Jin was flying at high speed in the sky of Zhongyang Mansion, three figures exuding the aura of the Venerable intercepted him.

In the sky, Liu Jin's figure stood upright, looking at the three venerables in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his voice was gentle:

"Liao family, Liao Mulong, Liao Muhu, Liao Mubao!"

The three venerables in front raised their brows when they heard Liu Jin calling out their names directly.

In the middle, Liao Mulong, who exuded the aura of the peak Dharma Master Realm, joked:

"As expected of the famous Eunuch Liu, I wonder where Eunuch Liu is?"

"Why, I still need to report to you where our family is going!"

When Liu Jin saw the attitudes of the three people, his heart condensed, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

The Liao family is the top power hidden in Zhongyang Mansion.

Liao Muhu, who is nine feet tall and has a stout body like a ferocious tiger, folds his arms with a smile on his ferocious face:
"I dare not report it, but we are just acting on orders and bringing Eunuch Liu to Lianzhou!"

Liu Jin's face changed slightly...
