Chapter 592: City Lord
Huo Bingyan teased: "It's not because of my brother-in-law. ”
Yuan Fang was stunned: "What does it have to do with me?" ”
Huo Bingyan explained: "Now who in the entire empire doesn't know that you are the brother-in-law of all female soldiers, brother-in-law, everyone sees how we female soldiers are, to be honest, it was because of General Xia Liang that we female soldiers were able to maintain our dignity and avoid persecution, and brother-in-law, you have done more for us, and now we can not only become soldiers in a dignified manner, but also gain the trust of His Royal Highness, and there is no mess of things before, and both treatment and prestige are unprecedented, With a brother-in-law like you, who wholeheartedly protects female soldiers, what do they have to fear? At most, it's just a tiring point of training. ”
Huo Bingyan said a lot, and her words were very subtle, and Yuan Fang heard the meaning of those words deliberately treated by her, such as those messy, in fact, it means the meaning of the existence of female soldiers at the beginning, the Eastern Sage Empire was one of the best powers in terms of economy, military strength and population, will such a country lack soldiers? Of course not, but why is there such a force as female soldiers? I believe everyone can guess it, so I won't say much about the policy reasons, and I don't have to be blocked.
Let's put it this way, the original female soldiers were actually obscure military prostitutes, despised by others, even if they have the opportunity to break away from the military in this life, it is difficult to remarry, unless they are incognito, but now it is different, with the support of Yuan Fang, a strong big man, female soldiers are soldiers, nothing else, they have the dignity of soldiers and the respect of the people, uh, it seems to be a bit far-fetched, let's get down to business.
After a discussion with Xia Yi and the girls, in the end, Yuan Fang definitely fought for the opportunity, and also made some benefits for the soldiers who followed him for so long, all of which should be the benefits of birth and death, especially Yuqing and Xia Yi, who have always stayed by their side, and their combat exploits are basically insulated from them. The Taiji army went all the way to the north, and the baggage troops turned south after crossing the river, and the speed of both sides was not fast, but they also met victoriously at dawn.
This time, Tang Jian brought a lot of heavy grain and grass, a large part of which the carriage carried this heavy siege equipment, in addition to the ladder tower, there are also a lot of iron trebuchets, yes, Yuan Fang is planning to take advantage of the emptiness of Guangyuan City's troops to attack Guangyuan County, once Guangyuan County is broken, the other four counties are like fat sandwiched in the middle of a hamburger, and they can be eaten at any time, of course, on the contrary, Guangyuan County is also in the gap of the Ningyuan Empire, bearing the same risk, but Yuan Fang is not too worried, With the main force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army guarding it, it was a fool's dream for the Ningyuan Empire to recapture Guangyuan City.
After converging with the logistics baggage troops, it was repaired for a morning, and set off at noon, in the southwest direction, aiming at Guangyuan City.
At the same time, Tang Jian's main force and Shi Ping's department, which had cleaned up the battlefield, directly adjusted the direction and rushed to Guangyuan County after receiving Yuan Fang's order, and the three troops would converge in the city, and at the same time, Shi Ping divided his troops into 5,000 and set off to intercept and kill the other party's scouts and messengers outside Guangyuan City, blocking the information channels of Guangyuan County and Anping County as much as possible, as for those displaced people who fled, they were also driven back to Guangyuan City, and let these people bring back the news, the army of the Eastern Sage Empire only attacked the city and would not harass the ordinary people, which was specially explained by Yuan Fang.
In the city lord's mansion of Guangyuan City, the city lord Wang Yong frowned, these days, there are too many things that make him troubled, first of all, Prince Dugufeng came, and his rights as the city lord were hollowed out, and Wang Yong, who was originally angry, gradually got used to the kind of leisurely life that did not ask about the world after such a long time of adaptation.
But just a few days ago, a group of extremely shameless guys came to the Eastern Sage Empire, and during the negotiation, they actually released arrows to sneak attack, resulting in the injury and poisoning of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and what made Wang Yong even more helpless was that His Royal Highness the King of Qin actually died of poison the next day, and the prince died in Guangyuan City, as the city lord of Guangyuan City, Wang Yong knew that he was in a catastrophe, and when he was almost desperate, he went to His Royal Highness and miraculously survived, Wang Yong was overjoyed, but the matter was not over, another day passed, His Royal Highness the Prince was poisoned again, and confessed his last words, and then, Ling Hu, Pang Ying and Gao Shun led the elite out of the city to avenge His Highness, but there was no news until yesterday when the messenger came to report that General Gao Shun was besieged and broke through in the shallows of the Tianxing River, so that the city lord could send troops to support.
Wang Yong's mood was very complicated at that time, it is said that the other party has at least 50,000 horses, of which the cavalry is close to 20,000, and Guangyuan City, now there are only less than 20,000 city defense troops, even if you add some miscellaneous cards, it is only about 25,000, send troops to support? How much to send? Five thousand or ten thousand? In Wang Yong's opinion, even if all the soldiers in Guangyuan City were sent, Gao Shun would not be able to be saved, and Guangyuan City would also need troops to defend it, but he could not see death without saving him, so Wang Yong summoned all the officials to come to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the matter, and the location was next to Prince Dugufeng's spiritual room.
Wang Yong's idea is very simple and clear, rescue can, but the premise is to ensure that Guangyuan City leaves enough troops to protect itself, as a result, the generals came to the conclusion that the city defense is extremely empty, unable to divide the troops, this conclusion is not expected by Wang Yong, decided to protect themselves, but they are worried that Gao Shun will successfully break through, once he returns to the empire, he will definitely accuse himself of a crime of not saving himself, so after some discussion, everyone decided to secretly dispose of the messenger who asked for help, as if this incident had never happened, They had never seen the letter asking for help, so even if Gao Shun came back alive, they would have something to say.
I don't know if Wang Yong is unlucky or Dugufeng's time has not arrived, Dugufeng, who was already dead, actually came back to life, and it is different from before, and it is no different from before being poisoned, what is even more sad is that the conversation of Wang Yong and others was coincidentally and unfortunately, all the words of the prince were included in the ears of His Royal Highness, Prince Dugufeng was suddenly furious, broke into the door and was furious, vowing to kill him quickly, which scared Wang Yong and a group of officials and generals.
Just when Wang Yong and the others were silent, begging for mercy, things took a turn again, and Dugufeng, who was like a return to the light, was poisoned again, spurting blood on the spot and falling to the ground without a sound.
Wang Yong and the others looked at each other, and after a long time, they came back to their senses, and ordered someone to move Dugufeng's body back to the bed in the mourning room, and specially ordered his confidants to guard it strictly, for fear that His Royal Highness the prince would come back from the dead again and blame the officials and generals of the city.
