Yunzhou, Yun Wang Yunshan saw the Zongzhou rebellion as an opportunity, and naturally did not want to miss this opportunity. However, Yunshan also had his own enemies. After finally making arrangements, he assembled a large army and prepared to enter Zongzhou in the name of suppressing the rebellion.
Long Tian received news about the mobilization of Yunzhou's troops and the progress, and responded immediately.
Long Tian took Bai Qi and other generals, along with 40,000 troops, to the border city of Hucheng.
A few days later, Long Tian and his party arrived smoothly. The cities passed by Zongzhou were all very honest. Without King Wen, no one dared to cause trouble at will.
King Wen was dead. Regardless of whether they participated in the rebellion or not, the leaders of these cities had to leave a way out for themselves.
"What is the situation in Yunzhou?"
After Long Tian arrived in Hucheng, he immediately summoned Jiang Tong, the lord of Hucheng, and Huo Pengjing, the chief general of the city guards.
The two initially found that they did not participate in King Wen's rebellion. After Long Tian took control of the overall situation in Zongzhou, they also responded immediately.
Although Long Tian could not trust them absolutely, he could only use them temporarily under the current circumstances. However, Long Tian would also make some arrangements and precautions.
"Your Highness, the latest intelligence is that Yun Wang Yunshan is heading straight to Hucheng with 200,000 main Yunzhou troops and 300,000 city guards. Moreover, Yunshan is gathering city guards from various cities along the way."
"Yun Wang is only one day away. I estimate that when Yun Wang arrives tomorrow, 500,000 city guards can be gathered."
Shadow was the first to discover Yun Wang's situation, and Hucheng began to prepare after receiving Long Tian's order.
After all, they were inside Xia State, and the precautions against each other were not that strict.
"How are our troops?"
Yun Wang was coming with great momentum, with a total force of 700,000. The so-called Yunzhou Army was similar in nature and strength to the Zhenbei Army in the northern border.
Such a large army, with Yunshan's personal command, and gathering all the masters of Yunzhou, was also a big trouble for Long Tian.
"Your Highness, in addition to the 40,000 troops we brought, a total of 300,000 city guards have been mobilized in Hucheng and its surrounding areas, as well as in the cities behind."
Bai Qi is most familiar with the mobilization of troops.
The difference in the strength of the two sides is twice as much.
"Your Highness, Hucheng has a special location and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, there are other routes for Yunzhou to enter Zongzhou. If King Yun avoids Hucheng and directly attacks the hinterland of Zongzhou, we are afraid that it will be very troublesome."
Huo Pengjing, the defender of Hucheng, said worriedly.
Not to mention the difference in strength, if they don't fight you head-on, it will be difficult for Zongzhou to deal with it.
"No, if Yunshan shows signs of taking a detour, we will immediately send out a large army and move towards the city of Yunzhou. If he is desperate, we don't have to worry about it and attack Yunzhou directly."
Long Tian's method is simple and crude. If you don't fight me head-on, I will return it in your own way.
However, Long Tian guessed that Yunshan would not do this. If the hundreds of thousands of troops here did not care, he would not attack Zongzhou with peace of mind.
Another point, Long Tian had a guess in his mind, that is, this battle might not be fought.
Now that the news of the rebellion in Zongzhou has been spread, Yunshan has lost his excuse. If Yunshan insists on entering Zongzhou at this moment, no matter what excuse he makes, he will lose the initiative.
Unless Yunshan is desperate.
However, Long Tian couldn't figure out why Yunshan wanted to do this. Is Yunshan really ready to rebel?
But even if he wanted to rebel, his first target of attack should not be Long Tian. Now that Long Tian is staying in Zongzhou, Yunshan will enter forcefully. The two sides will inevitably go to war. Isn't this letting the old emperor take advantage?
No matter what, the necessary preparations must be made, and everything should be prepared for the worst.
In a solemn and tense atmosphere, a day passed.
The next day, the Yunzhou army arrived at the border of Yunzhou. However, surprisingly, the Yunzhou army did not cross the border, but sent an envoy to meet Long Tian and convey Yunshan's invitation. The two sides met at the border.
"Your Highness, Shadow has sent accurate information. There are only 300,000 city guards around King Yun. The most elite Yunzhou army and the remaining 200,000 troops in Yunzhou are currently missing. Shadow is trying his best to find them."
Listening to Cao Zhengchun's report, Long Tian was also thinking about what Yunshan was going to do. The 400,000 troops disappeared and where they went.
"Bring the map."
How can Long Tian feel at ease if he doesn't find these 400,000 troops? Among them, there are 200,000 Yunzhou troops, which is almost all the main forces of Yunzhou.
Yunshan brought so many troops, it would never be a simple meeting. Even if he wanted to negotiate terms, there was no need to mobilize so many troops.
There are two cities beside Hucheng. From Yunzhou to Zongzhou, you can go through these two cities. Moreover, the garrisons in these two cities are about 40,000 to 50,000.Yunshan's sneak attack is definitely unstoppable.
Suddenly, Long Tian saw that in the east of Hucheng, in front of the city called Qingcheng, there was a rolling hill.
"Cao Zhengchun, immediately send the shadow master to investigate this mountain area in detail. If this prince is right, the army of King Yun must be here."
Seeing this mountain, thinking of the disappeared army, and Yunshan's invitation, Long Tian suddenly understood Yunshan's plan.
Go for broke.
Yunshan's plan must be to surprise Qingcheng, and then the army will take a detour to surround Hucheng. At the same time, Yunshan invited Long Tian to meet one day later, and may put forward some conditions. At best, an agreement will be reached.
But this possibility basically does not exist. Long Tian will not give up the benefits he has obtained. Yunshan must be aware of this, so why meet.
To contain and attract Long Tian's attention, facilitate Qingcheng's actions, and even capture the thief and the king, is almost the same as King Wen Xiao Chenghao's plan.
The reason why Yunshan wanted to make a desperate bet was because of Long Tian's existence. At this moment, Long Tian actually controlled Zongzhou and the Northern Territory. As long as Long Tian was captured and then attacked Zongzhou, Yunshan could take this opportunity to directly control Zongzhou and the Northern Territory, and successfully receive nearly 3 million troops from the two states.
If this move could succeed, Yunshan could occupy three states by himself, recruit troops and horses, and it would not be difficult to raise 5 million troops. At that time, Yunshan would have the confidence to face the old emperor.
Moreover, Yunshan believed that no matter how big his move was, it would only attract the army of the court, and other princes would definitely stand idly by.
Even the Northwest King Jin Chengye would not go to war with him because of Long Tian.
Yunshan knew the thoughts of these princes very well.
Such huge benefits made Yunshan take risks and make a desperate bet.
Long Tian finally understood that Yunshan had great ambitions and really considered himself a soft persimmon. No wonder, with Long Tian's reputation, in the eyes of these princes, he was just a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated.
