Hearing that Yangcheng could be captured in seven days, Kang Xingye nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied at the moment.
"I give you a month, and you have to arrive in Zheyang County no matter what. Can you do it?" Kang Xingye asked.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, give me a month, and I will be able to capture Zheyang County!"
In Uqaida's view, about ten days are enough to capture Nanfeng City and Yangcheng. As for Zheyang County, it is estimated that it will take less than three days. As for him saying a few more days, that is because There were other things he wanted to do.
"General Wu, don't talk too much. Do you know the purpose of Gu's visit?" Kang Xingye looked at Wu Guida with a smile.
"How dare you, the general, presume to guess His Highness's intentions? I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will inform you." Uqaida bowed his hands.
Kang Xingye is still very satisfied with Wu Guida. This person is not only a literary scholar, but also a martial artist in the realm. This is also a rare all-round talent in Beimang, and he is also the only commander-in-chief in Beimang!
"Mr. Gu, show General Wu the images of Xincheng in Zheyang County," Kang Xingye said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Mr. Gu saluted and gently grabbed a shadow stone with his right hand.
As the photographic stone emits a white luster, the entire new city of Zheyang County is reflected in the military tent.
"Your Highness, what is the name of this building? Why can't I feel any literary power?" Uqaida asked, looking at the closed wall.
"General Wu, I just heard that this thing is made of something called cement. I don't know the specific details." Kang Xingye said helplessly.
"Does this city wall want to be built so high?" Ugeda asked in shock.
"About that. I heard that the lowest city wall is seven and a half feet long, and the highest one is over ten feet long..."
Hearing the prince's words, Ugueda was stunned. He wanted to say, is this a game? Their catapults can only throw the highest city wall that is six feet high, and the basic city walls are five to six feet high. How can this stone hit that high...
Even if they can throw it seven to eight feet, the same trebuchet will be exposed to the attacking range of the defenders...
"General Wu, are you confident in taking this city?" Kang Xingye asked calmly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, it will take time." Uqaida replied respectfully.
"How long?" Kang Xingye asked.
"If the supplies are sufficient and the modified catapult is available, it will take at least three months."
In fact, Uqaidah still had the courage to boast about Haikou. After all, he really didn't have the confidence to take over the new city. It didn't mean that they couldn't climb the city wall, but that the catapult could not cover such a high city wall. If it relied on a sea of people, Go to the pile, it is really an astronomical number.
"How long will it take at most?"
"The general does not dare to answer, and cannot answer!" Ugeda said with his hands in hand.
Kang Xingye nodded slightly. He did not expect Wugueda to take Zheyang County immediately. Anyway, it would be good to arrive in Zheyang County within a month. He tapped his fingers on the desk and then looked at Gu Xingchen.
At this moment, Gu Xingchen also understood that it was time to stand up and quickly said: "General Wu, if we can help you disintegrate the opponent from within, are you confident in taking this city?"
"If this is the case, I will be confident of taking over this city, but I don't know how this young gentleman plans to disintegrate it." Ugeda asked Gu Xingchen.
For Ugeda, although Gu Xingchen was just a civil servant, it was definitely not easy for him to be under the prince's control, so he immediately asked him for advice as a gentleman.
"General Wu, you're welcome. My father is Gu Yongnian. You don't need to salute like this." Gu Xingchen returned the salute.
When he heard that it was Gu Yongnian, Wu Guida did not dare to take back his saluting hand. You must know that he was the great hero of Beimang and the king he would look up to in the future!
Seeing that Wu Guaida still maintained his salute, Gu Xingchen didn't care about this and continued decisively: "When I go back, my father will find a way to send people to take over the defense of Zheyang County. When the general attacks, the city gate will naturally be for the general. And open."
"If it is true what Mr. Xiao said, Wu will be able to capture the new city of Zheyang County in less than two days!" Wu Guida promised.
"Okay, what I want is the general's words!" Kang Xingye smiled, and he said boldly: "If the general can capture Zheyang County within the specified time limit, I will let my father reward the general as a man with heavy troops. Lord of the vassal!"
After hearing the words of the prince, Wu Guida immediately knelt down on one knee: "The general thanked His Highness the prince. The general is willing to accept the military order. As long as the words of the young gentleman come true, the general will definitely take Zheyang County!"
Kang Xingye nodded with satisfaction. This was what he wanted. As long as their Beimang army could capture Zheyang County, then his bet with Xu Que would be realized. By then, he would be the first to unify the mainland. The First Emperor!
"Lao Gu, please leave your things." Kang Xingye said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Mr. Gu took back the image stone, then took out two cloth bags and placed them in front of Ugeda.
"Your Highness, what is this?..."
"General Wu, here are the new armors made by Gu for your three thousand cavalry. With these things, the blood clouds of ordinary military formations can be offset by half, and then you can easily defeat the Great Yan defenders!" Kang Xingye said.
"General, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince. Within four days, I will guarantee to capture Nanfeng City!" Ugeda thanked him again.
Kang Xingye stood up and said, "Well, perform well. If you really succeed, I guarantee that the day when you will be crowned king is right around the corner!"
Wu Guida bowed heavily, and then personally sent Kang Xingye and others away.
After Kang Xingye left the military camp, he turned his head and asked, "Xingchen, do you know why I am eager to capture Zheyang County?"
"Although Xingchen can guess a thing or two about the prince's plan, he still doesn't quite understand it." Gu Xingchen replied.
"You are just smarter than your elder brother." Kang Xingye shook his head and smiled: "Gu made a bet with Xu Que. He said that Gu's Beimang army could not take Zheyang County, and then he said that although Beimang's army was brave, it would not be able to defeat Zheyang County. We can’t reach Zheyang County within two months!”
"Is this happening?" Gu Xingchen was very curious: "Then he is sure to lose?"
"Yes, I feel the same way, but I always feel that something is not right." Kang Xingye thought for a moment and said: "This person can control the entire court in the capital, and he can also prevent those Dayan officials from taking action. This shows that this person There must be something about people that we don’t know.”
"Your Highness is suspicious of Xu Maofeng's army?" Gu Xingchen asked.
"This is just one of them. Although no one knows where this army is, there is no guarantee that it will be a winning move." Kang Xingye replied.
"And what else?"
"The second is the appearance of Maguan Xing. Don't you think this person's sudden rush to help Nanfeng City has a certain purpose?" Kang Xingye asked back.
"The guard is now Li Changfeng. Even if Ma Guanxing enters Nanfeng City, he must obey Li Changfeng's orders. Moreover, Li Changfeng and Ma Guanxing are not the same people at all. Even if Ma Guanxing wants to resist, it will not help, let alone have any purpose." Gu Xingchen answer.
"Having said that, we have to be on guard. It would be best if everything goes well. If something changes, your elder brother needs to be prepared in advance." Kang Xingye said.
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness, if something unexpected happens, my eldest brother's chess piece will definitely help General Wu."

Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
After the night run, Xu Que sat on the desk and waited for Sister Ye to arrive. He wanted to get out the fifth grade mathematics textbook today, but found that Huang Qianying had been playing with the vernier caliper, so he decisively gave up this idea. After all, this The object measuring device is so far ahead of the times, so it’s natural that Huang Qianying likes it.
Just when Xu Que was bored, a figure suddenly appeared opposite him. This time Xu Que saw clearly how Sister Ye entered his study...
Oops, practicing martial arts is really a good thing. Not only does the six senses improve a lot, but it is also much easier to capture some things!
Just when Xu Que felt good about himself, Sister Ye suddenly took out a wooden box and placed it in front of Xu Que.
"Didn't I just give the banknote a few days ago? Why did another one come?" Xu Que looked at Sister Ye in confusion.
"This is not a banknote, but information about the person you asked us to check!" Sister Ye explained.
