the other side.
After the battle at Yanluo Mountain, Qin Ze stayed at Yanluo Mountain for several days. After all, too many enemy troops were wiped out in this battle and the battlefield needed to be cleared.
In addition, Qin Ze has been sending people to search for the missing Jin Jiande. Whether it is mountain caves, cliffs and other crevices, or the corpses of killed enemy soldiers, they have been searched over and over, but still cannot be found.
This made Qin Ze understand that, as he had guessed before, Jin Jiande most likely escaped Yanluo Mountain from a certain cliff.
Although it was a pity that he could not find Jin Jiande, even if he was allowed to escape, Qin Ze knew that he could escape but the monk could not escape the temple, and he would eventually go to Jinling.
The roadblocks previously used to block Yanluo Mountain needed to be cleared and moved. Qin Ze also ordered people to clear the roadblocks these days. His goal remained unchanged, and he continued to move south to attack the capital.
After a few days, Qin Ze successfully left Yanluo Mountain through the opened road with the countless points he had accumulated and the 400,000 troops he already had.
Qin Ze actually didn't have that many of the million-strong army that Shan Yi mentioned before. A lot of his points were used to exchange for various combat equipment, which was an astonishing consumption.
In addition, there is no need for so many soldiers and horses. Too many soldiers and horses will only appear redundant. If there are many people, you will have to eat, and the movement will be slower.
Because of the increase in the number of soldiers and horses at this moment, the speed of march has slowed down a lot, but the slowdown has not affected the momentum of advancement at all.
After leaving Yanluo Mountain, an army that had recently wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses was walking on the road, and no one was surprised by its power.
Before they even entered Yuyuan City, the first city outside Yanluo Mountain, the defenders in Yuyuan City were already frightened.
Previously, when they received Jin Jiande who had escaped from Yanluo Mountain, they learned about the battle at Yanluo Mountain from his mouth. Jin Jiande's embarrassed and frightened appearance was seen by the local commanders and city lords.
This is the son of the current King Qing!
After experiencing that battle, they all ended up like this. One can imagine how brutal and bloody the battle that took place in Yanluo Mountain was.
When they saw that Jin Jiande didn't even dare to stay for a long time and hurriedly took some soldiers and horses from the city to escape, everyone understood that when Qin Ze came out of Yanluo Mountain, he was probably going to sweep down the mountain.
And the words Jin Jiande left behind before leaving made the two adults with the highest official positions in Yuyuan City fall into entanglement and panic.
Jin Jiande said this:
"You guys, stop the traitor for me!"
——
At this moment, in the palace of the city lord of Yuyuan City.
In the lobby, the current Lord of Yuyuan City, Ning Tai, sat on the throne, looking at Sun He, the commander of the army, with a frown on his side:
"General Sun, this is counterintuitive..."
As soon as he said this, he hurriedly changed his words: "That army is on its way, what should we do?"
Sun He's face was gloomy. He pondered for a moment and then said:
"Yes, the scouts said they had left Yanluo Mountain a few days ago, and there were a lot of soldiers and horses." He hesitated.
Ning Tai touched his somewhat white beard, stared at Sun He's tangled face and said:
"General Sun, you don't have many soldiers and horses at your disposal."
"Look, this can..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun He raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and said, "Master Ning, is it possible that you want to..."
Ning Tai interrupted: "What am I? I didn't say anything, General Sun."
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, falling into silence.
The two cups of tea placed on the table were now cold, but no one picked them up.
The two people with sad faces sat in their chairs, both lost in thought.
At this time, a soldier came quickly. After seeing Sun He, he immediately whispered a few words in his ear. Sun He's expression changed after hearing this.
Ning Tai, who was on the side, saw his expression and already guessed what was going on.
Sure enough, before he could ask, Sun He said in a deep voice: "Go down."
Ping withdrew his men and looked at Ning Tai solemnly: "Master Ning, the army is not far from our Yuyuan City."
Ning Tai's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up and walked to Sun He's side, whispering:
"Since the end of the battle at Yanluoshan, we haven't seen any troops sent by the imperial court. Even if they were sent on the road, it would be too late."
"Now, I see..."
Speaking of this, he stared into Sun He's eyes and shook his head.
Sun He opened his mouth, his throat rolled, and then his face straightened up, as if he had made up his mind. He whispered:
"As I see it, those who know the current affairs are heroes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stared at Ning Tai with a sharp look on his face, taking full precautions.
But the next moment, a heroic laughter came from Ning Tai's mouth: "Well said!"
"Your Majesty, in accordance with the will of heaven, raising the army is a righteous act. The world has been suffering for a long time. Your Majesty's move is what everyone expects!"
"Now he is approaching Yuyuan City. He is here to rescue us!"
Sun He was dumbfounded, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, although he was commanding the army in Yuyuan City and still had some troops on hand, he did not want to fight Qin Ze at this time. Even if he stayed in the city and did not leave, that was absolutely impossible.
After all, Anyang County can be said to be impregnable. Even Xiaoru had many times more soldiers and horses than he did, but even so, the city was still destroyed and people were killed.
What's more, in the battle at Yanluo Mountain not long ago, Qin Ze was able to turn defeat into victory and kill them all, despite the joint annihilation of the imperial court and the barbarian army.
After these few battles, except for the generals in the DPRK or the military towns where a large number of soldiers and horses are located, who else dares to fight Qin Ze?
If you can't beat him, there's only one end.
Jin Jiande was in such a mess that day, but he still said, "You guys, stop the traitor!" This is really crazy.
In fact, the moment he heard this that day, Sun He even felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
This is simply a fantasy!
There are so many people who can't defeat him. How can I, with my small Yu Yuan City commander's troops and horses, stop Qin Ze?
What is the difference between this and going up the mountain of swords and going down to the sea of fire?
Because of this, when Sun He heard about the army coming out of Yanluo Mountain, his first reaction was to surrender.
Although Yuyuan City is not big, there is a family in the city, so it is impossible to escape. The only way to go is to surrender.
In fact, he had been worried that Ningtai would be rebellious after he said he had surrendered...
But now it seems that he has the same idea, and he has even started to hang a banner for the prince.
This scholar's ability to adapt to the wind is really great.
Thinking of this, Sun He smiled slightly and followed suit:
"Master Ning is right. Your Majesty is raising the flag of justice now to save the people of the world. How can we help others!"
"I think we should just open the city gate and let the prince in!"
Ning Tai raised his eyebrows and said loudly:
"How can this be done!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun He's expression changed.
But the next moment, Ning Tai waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty has come all the way from Beiliang to save the people of the world. How can we just wait in the city like this?!"
"This is too rude."
Sun He's expression changed again, and his eyes widened.
Ning Tai's face was solemn and he continued:
"General Sun, you and I should go with people outside the city to welcome the prince into the city."
"Don't lose your etiquette!"
Seeing Ning Tai's righteous words, Sun He fell to the ground in admiration.
"Yes, Lord Ning is very considerate." Sun He handed over his hand.
