Several men in black suddenly appeared near the Yecheng city tower. The nerves of the soldiers on duty suddenly became tense. The next moment, arrows were attached to the big bows.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Far away from the city was Murong's camp, and judging from the way these people were dressed, they didn't look like they were from Murong's tribe.
who are they?
Could it be Murong Bu's detailed work?
Clusters of iron arrows glowed silver under the moonlight, pointing coldly at the people below the city.
Although the moonlight made the cold arrow clusters shine, it still couldn't reflect the human face clearly. Holding the words "One of our own!"
"Open the door quickly!"
The soldiers holding torches finally arrived, and when the fire flickered, they saw the leader holding a square object in his hand.
"This is……"
After seeing clearly what that thing was, Xiao Bing suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"quick!"
"Open the city gate quickly!"
"I'm going to report to the general!"
"General!"
"Oh no, General!"
"Something big happened!"
Fu Pi and Zhang Hao were reminiscing about the past in the room when they saw a soldier running towards the courtyard gate with chaotic steps, shouting as he ran.
I was shocked immediately.
"What happened?"
"Say it!"
Fu Pi was a little younger, and he left the veteran Zhang Hao behind with a few strides. As soon as the soldier ran into the yard, he fell to his knees with a plop.
He was breathing heavily, and at the critical moment, his tongue was tied.
The soldier was speechless for a long time, holding his hand in a hurry, sweating on his forehead.
"what happened?"
"Say it quickly!"
"Is it someone from Murong's department who called in?"
The soldier shook his head desperately and his breathing finally became smoother.
Then he stammered: "No...it's not..."
"It's General Fu Zuan from Jinyang who has defected here!"
Fu Pi was immediately stunned.
"Fu Zuan?"
"How can it be!"
"I was still thinking that if it didn't work out, I could go to Jinyang and join him. Why did he come here first?"
Reporter:......
When they saw Fu Zuan's token, the soldiers guarding the city were stunned. They naturally knew they wanted to let Fu Zuan into the city.
but……
Now Murong's army is not far away and is watching eagerly. If the city gate is opened at this time, it will definitely arouse Murong's suspicion.
If you take advantage of the chaos and attack, you will cause serious trouble.
He had no choice but to run down a few thick hemp ropes from the tower and throw them in front of Fu Zuan.
General, you can only climb up on your own.
Fu Zuan didn't know what was going on. Of course he knew that the current situation in Yecheng was not very good, but he couldn't tell how bad it was.
On the way, he came from Jinyang and saw Dingling people, Qiang people, and Murong people scattered everywhere. Some of them were slightly stronger, so they joined together and captured the city.
Those who were less powerful would plunder villages and towns to make themselves satisfied.
The Northern Territory, which had been peaceful for twenty years, has once again fallen into the quagmire of chaos and war.
This made Fu Zuan feel frightened and melancholy.
However, in his imagination, the situation in Yecheng should not be too bad. After all, Fu Pi was different from him. He had been guarding Yecheng for a long time and had strong soldiers and horses. Most people should not dare to provoke him.
This made Fu Zuan, who had been defeated all the way from Chang'an to Jinyang, think of defecting.
However, looking at the situation, the situation in Yecheng is not very good either.
However, Fu Zuan couldn't figure out how serious it was that the soldiers were so cautious, not even daring to open the city gates, and letting people into the city so secretly.
Just as Fu Zuan ran down from the city gate tower, he saw Fu Pi's figure, and beside him was the veteran Zhang Hao.
It wasn't until this moment that Fu Zuan felt a little calmer.
Fu Pi is a man who is brave but not resourceful. However, with the veteran Zhang Hao here, this city should be saved!
His Fu Zuan is also safe.
"Wei Changgong, why are you here?"
"Just a few people?"
There were only about thirty people in Fu Zuan's group. Fu Pi was very disappointed. He thought that if Fu Zuan came to join him, he would bring at least several thousand troops with him!
Fu Zuan said angrily: "It's not easy to have these few people."
"General, Jinyang has been captured by Ding Ling and Zhai Bin!"
"I have no choice but to come to you!"
"Jinyang is also lost?" Fu Pi also panicked.
This was originally the escape route he had left for himself!
Fu Zuan sighed repeatedly: "Yes!"
"I didn't expect it at all. I originally heard that Yao Qiang's team was stationed around Chang'an City and was determined to capture Chang'an. I thought Jinyang could escape the disaster and relax a little."
"Unexpectedly, although Yao Qiang did not expand eastward, Ding Ling people fought all the way."
"You can't even defeat Ding Ling!" Fu Pi was shocked.
You know, in the past, Fu Zuan was considered a brave general in the Di Qin army, with considerable strength.
How could he end up defecting?
Regarding this issue, Fu Zuan obviously didn't want to say more. He just sighed repeatedly and boasted a few words about how Zhai Bin was a villain and had deceived him.
No matter what, now that things have come to this, Fu Pi can only take him in.
Fortunately, Fu Zuan's entry into the city did not arouse the vigilance of Murong's tribe who was not far away. This was considered a blessing in misfortune.
Now that Fu Zuan is here, he can also help him fend off Murong's tribe.
His subordinates finally had generals who could be sent out, and Zhang Hao was no longer the only one.
"Wei Changgong, do you know that the situation in Yecheng is also as urgent as a spark?"
Fu Zuan had already thought of it and remained silent. Fu Pi then said, "Look at the hill over there."
The two of them stood on the tower and looked into the distance. What was originally a tall hill looked like a small ups and downs from the direction of Yecheng.
"There is Daosong Mountain." Following the direction of Fu Pi's finger, Fu Pi finally found the target.
"It's just a small hill, what's so strange about it?"
Fu Pi sighed: "Murong's tribe, Murong De and Murong Hong, who came out of Chang'an City and planned to run north, are now stationed on that hill."
"They said they want to use the road from Yecheng to return to Dragon City."
"What?"
Fu Zuan was so surprised that his eyes almost fell out!
"Murong Bu is here too?" The voice also changed.
"Isn't it true that I just stepped out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den again?"
Fu Pi nodded: Yes, yes!
Looking north, north of Yecheng is the place where the Great Yan Dragon thrived, Dragon City.
Today, the most powerful general of Dayan, Murong Chui, is guarding this place with a man worthy of a hundred.
Desolate, dilapidated, and deserted are perhaps the best words to describe Dragon City at this time.
This city, which symbolized the prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty, was gradually abandoned after the Great Yan Dynasty's business grew bigger and bigger, went deep into the inland, and finally made Yecheng its capital.
"I think Yecheng is better. Uncle, we should go south, the conditions are better there." Murong Chong shuddered and thought, this poor place is really cold!
The wind is biting!
It's only been a few months and the weather has become like this. I really want to go back to Chang'an.
Murong Chui had no intention of paying attention to him at all. Ever since Wang Mi, an official of the Jin Dynasty, returned Murong Chong to him during the Battle of Xiangyang, Murong Chui had always been cold towards him.
Just as an elder, let him live.
Murong Chui hated this person even more than Wang Mi and the others.
A waste!
It will only bring disgrace to the Murong family's face.
Murong Chong, however, did not feel Murong Chui's indifference towards him at all, or in other words, he was accustomed to such indifference.
The skin is itchy but the flesh is not itchy.
I saw him shrinking his neck, and then said: "I think Murong Hong and the others are also interested in Yecheng. Why don't we join forces on both sides and capture Yecheng?"
"In this way, the north of Zhanghe River can be connected together!"
It’s all our Dayan’s territory!
The situation is great!
"Don't be impatient yet."
As soon as Murong Chui opened his mouth, Murong Chong became happy.
There's drama!
"Yecheng, we always have to go."
"but not now."
Still have to wait!
Murong Chong was extremely disappointed.
From this point of view, he still has to endure hardships in the bitter cold place of Longcheng.
He sniffed. When will days like this end?
Yecheng.
Murong Chui also wanted to go back. It was the former capital of Dayan and a strategic location. As long as he could recapture Ye City.
The situation in Dayan can be stabilized.
They had received a letter from Murong De two days ago, informing them that they had arrived outside Yecheng and were only waiting for Murong Chui's order to act together.
But now, Murongde and others are forcibly stationed outside Yecheng under the pretense of passing by.
Observing Fu Pi's movements, it seemed that he did not dare to act rashly.
Of course Murong Chui also wanted to use troops, but he did not believe Murong Hong and others.
This group of people had just escaped from Chang'an City. He had no idea how many men and horses they had and how powerful they were in Longcheng.
According to Murong Chui's understanding of Murong Hong, maybe they have already started fighting, and he will pretend to be peaceful with Murong Chui.
The purpose was to lure Murong Chui to Yecheng and rescue him from the siege.
Murong is too old and scheming to be fooled by him.
To this end, Murong Chui specially sent powerful spies to investigate the situation near Yecheng.
He absolutely does not believe what others say. Only what he sees and hears can be used as evidence. This is the experience he has gained from countless battles in the army for many years.
Very precious.
At this moment, he heard the sound of running up the tower, and the footsteps were so familiar that Murong Chui immediately knew who it was.
"Tell me, how is the situation in Yecheng?"
The soldier in soft armor adjusted his breathing and said calmly: "Murongde did not lie. They indeed set up camp on the outskirts of Yecheng."
"The general stayed outside the city for a day and heard the two parties shouting to each other. Murong De indeed said that he wanted to use the road to Yecheng to return to Longcheng."
"But Fu Pi didn't believe it."
Murong Chui sneered and said, "I guess Fu Pi still has some brains."
If he opened the city gate or allowed Murong Hong to borrow a passage outside the city, it would be difficult for Murong Chui.
Yecheng, of course, should belong to him, Murong Chui.
Murong Hong and Murong De have to step aside!
"Go tell Murong Chong that we will set off for Yecheng early tomorrow morning!"
It’s time for his Dayan number one general Murong Chui to take action!
…………
Ten days later.
On the banks of the Zhangshui River, the Beifu army, which had been marching for ten days and nights, finally arrived at a place they had not set foot in for many years.
Not only had the soldiers in Beifu never seen this mysterious city, but even Liu Yu, who led the troops, had never experienced the scenery of the North at all.
This is completely normal. He is only eighteen years old and a young man. Before he went to Beifu, he was an ordinary farmer.
He has a certain reputation in Jingkou and can only make ends meet.
But now, with the surging waves of Zhangshui right in front of him, Liu Yu was filled with emotions and passion was stirring in his chest.
He really wanted to rush to the other side of the Zhang River and capture Yecheng!
It's a pity that the troops he brought were too few.
It was not enough to shake the defenders of Yecheng.
What are the people in Murong's department doing?
Seeing that Zhangshui was still clear and not too polluted, Liu Yu could guess that there was no large-scale fighting in Yecheng.
The vicinity of Zhangshui was a place where many battles were fought in ancient times, and because Yecheng strangled the important water of Zhangshui, it became the focus of competition for many powerful powers.
Not far from the city tower in Yecheng is the Zhang River.
If there was a large-scale battle inside and outside the city, just the blood of the injured and dead soldiers would be enough to turn the Zhang River red.
There were even sporadic corpses of soldiers found in the river.
However, Liu Yu observed for a long time and found nothing.
"General Liu, when will we cross the river?" At this moment, this is the question that Yang Baihua is most concerned about.
Along the way, they encountered difficulties and obstacles, but most of them were successfully cracked by Yang Baihua. The main reason is that most of the area south of Zhangshui River is still under the control of Di Qin.
Although this control is not particularly strong, it is generally stable.
Along the way, from Xuzhou to Yanzhou, Yang Baihua was never idle.
The current situation in Diqin can be said to be quite critical. Although each town can still protect itself, it can only protect itself.
Many small disputes occurred occasionally inside and outside the city. Yang Baihua tried to mobilize some troops from the towns along the way, or simply mobilized several teams of troops to rescue Yecheng, but failed to mobilize many.
There were only a thousand people scattered here and there.
Are these people enough to fill the gap between their teeth?
Not to mention the tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Murong's tribe, even the Beifu soldiers in front of them couldn't cope with it.
Yang Baihua was very anxious, hoping to lure Liu Yu to the other side of Zhang River as soon as possible to rescue Fu Pi in Ye City.
Unfortunately, he just wasn't fooled.
I saw Liu Yu turn over and jump off the horse, and said neatly: "General Yang, there is no hurry. Let's rest for the night and cross the water tomorrow."
"We have been marching day and night. We are tired and exhausted. Look at the people you brought with you. They are all exhausted. In this state, even if we managed to reach the foot of Ye City today, we will still be unable to win."
Yang Baihua was speechless.
What Liu Yu said is also true.
Looking at the soldiers behind them, although the queue is relatively orderly, everyone's face is full of fatigue and tiredness.
It's time for the soldiers to take a good rest.
Yang Baihua had no choice but to agree first. After learning that the soldiers who were resting at the same place tonight were about to receive an amnesty, they quickly dispersed. Some set up camp and some made fires to cook.
Along the way, they were exhausted physically and mentally, and their endurance had reached the extreme. If they were not allowed to rest and were forced to challenge them under Ye City, they would only be able to return without success. They might even retreat in an instant and be defeated like a mountain.
.
This person is difficult to deal with!
Liu Yuzi went to take charge of the settlement of the soldiers in Beifu. He was very busy shuttling between the camp and the soldiers.
He almost does everything by himself and is extremely attentive.
This was completely different from him who kept his word and kept his serious face on the march.
Yang Baihua couldn't help but sigh like this.
