Chapter 29: Nobleman is too quiet

"Report to your highness, three people."
Tietou replied.
"Tell me, what benefit did you get!"
Yue Chen asked loudly.
Tietou said excitedly: "His Royal Highness, my strength has gone from the eighth rank of a soldier to a general."
"Do you know why this is?"
Yue Chen roared, his voice spread throughout the army.
Everyone's ears are erected, and almost all of them have improved, but Mu Yu has not improved as much.
"His Royal Highness, I don't know!"
Iron Head roared.
Yue Chen smiled, and then roared: "Because we are a just army. Our mission is to reduce the destruction of families and to protect more people like you with happy families from harm.
People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Our actions touched the sky and the earth. Even the sky has sent great power to reward you, brothers, defend your homeland, justice will prevail! And I, the messenger of justice on behalf of the heavens, "defend the homeland!" Justice will prevail! "
The soldiers roared.
"Long live your majesty!"
This is the first time that Yue Chen has injected military soul into the army.
This is very important.
The army also needs faith. Only an army with faith can be disciplined, fight heroes, and be fearless.
"Qin Shiyuan, leave twenty brothers and bury the villagers here, and the rest and others, come back to the city with me."
Yue Chen ordered.
The Qing State Army’s offensive took place in just two days.
Yue Chen went out this time, also risking being attacked by the Qing army.
The army didn't have time to rest, and set off overnight, and rushed back to Hongyan City the next morning.
When entering the city, Yue Chen saw many people migrating outside the city.
Yue Chen didn't stop him, let them leave, this was their choice, there was no need to force the people to advance and retreat with him.
When they have achieved a certain degree of morality and governance, they will certainly not leave even if they are driven away.
Leading the troops into the palace, Yue Chen discussed the merits and rewards, and distributed all three hundred sets of red rock armors to the meritorious soldiers.
At the same time, Yue Chen, as the face of all the soldiers, named Xun Yu the first division of his army, the city lord of Hongyan City.
Soon after, Lan Ling sent intelligence: "The army of the Qing State Army has already been deployed, and it will arrive in Hongyan City tomorrow."
The army of Qing Dynasty finally came.
"Wen Ruo, what do you think."
Yue Chen handed the sent information to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu took the intelligence and looked at it, his tone was slightly solemn, and he said calmly: "The enemy's army is too large. The minister suggested and defended."
"Oh!"
Yue Chen said, "Before someone suggested that I send a small group of troops to attack the other side's grain road, do you think this method is not good?"
Xun Yu shook his head and said: "It's not time yet, with so many troops marching, the enemy will definitely protect the Liangdao with heavy troops.
Unless, we can find the location of the forage and raid their forage base.
Otherwise, the small troops sent out will die forever.
Moreover, the quantity is too small to be effective at all, and it will be a pity to die if the quantity is too large. "
Xun Yu pointed to the map of Hongyan City and said: "If Hongyan City is an ordinary city, the minister will persuade His Highness to give up.
But now Hongyan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only a wall on the south side. This is a natural checkpoint, a place where one man must be the gate.
This is a huge advantage for us.
It is unwise to give up such a big advantage and engage in a sneak attack. "
"Yeah! You are the same as I thought."
Yue Chen slowly nodded and said, "Do your best to defend the city. Send more people to mine stones and logs with all your strength to defend the city."
"Your Highness, rest assured!"
Xun Yu bowed with confidence, "Now your Majesty holds 15,000 troops.
There are also powerful generals like General Mu and General Sun. Even if the opponent comes with a hundred thousand troops, Yu is sure to defend Hongyan City. "
"Hahaha, with Wenruo's guarantee, I can rest assured a lot, let go and do it, I will fully support you."
Yue Chen slapped Xun Yu's shoulder and said.
"Yes!"
Xun Yu arched his hands.
"Zhao Tianlong!"
Yue Chen said.
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Tianlong bowed his hands in prayer.
Yue Chen said slowly: "Recently, what are the actions of the nobles in the city?"
Zhao Tianlong replied: "Since each of them has paid for the grain and grass, they have all stayed in the city peacefully, and they haven't noticed any unusual behavior for the time being.
Just..." "Just what? "
Yue Chen said, "You are the royal family of a big country. I know your perspectives are different, so let's just say it."
Zhao Tianlong nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, they are too quiet, this... abnormal."
"Don't secretly send someone out to contact Qingguo?"
Yue Chen asked.
Zhao Tianlong slowly shook his head and said: "No!"
"It's impossible!"
Yue Chen frowned slightly, but he hoped that these people were a little restless.
This shows that these people are still under their surveillance.
Now, it seems to be out of control.
Yue Chen thought for a while, and couldn't think of any clues, but Yue Chen firmly believed that dogs can't change eating shit, and those white sheep wolves who eat inside and out, now see the army pressed down, it is impossible not to make small moves.
The quieter, the more abnormal.
"Xun Yu, what do you think?"
Yue Chen, who couldn't think of the problem, could only turn his eyes on Xun Yu for help.
Xun Yu went out again and said: "His Royal Highness, when Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zan, he couldn't attack for a long time. Finally, he secretly dug a secret road leading to the city outside the city. Taking advantage of the darkness, he attacked the city through secret roads in one fell swoop. Conquered Gongsun Zan."
Zhao Tianlong didn't understand Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zan, but the two words of authenticity made him understand instantly.
"typical!"
Yue Chen patted the table and said, "I actually forgot about it."
In ancient China, the method of digging tunnels has existed since ancient times, starting with Sun Tzu.
Later, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, this method was carried forward by the guerrillas in the North China Plain and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders.
Zhao Tianlong shouted: "His Royal Highness, I will destroy the tunnel!"
"Not urgent!"
Yue Chen waved his hand.
Zhao Tianlong said anxiously, "Your Majesty, once let the enemy come in from the tunnel, hide in the homes of the nobles, and take advantage of the fierce siege to come out from our back, it will be devastating to us. "
"I know, don't worry!"
Yue Chen stretched out his right hand to look at and patted, and signaled Zhao Tianlong not to be impulsive.
Digging tunnels is a terrible strategy.
But if you know where to dig tunnels, then there are more articles you can do.
Zhao Tianlong said, "His Royal Highness, the army will be here tomorrow. Maybe it is too late for us to investigate now. The subordinates suggest that all the nobles should be arrested and tortured to get them out of the tunnel."
"Wen Ruo!"
Yue Chen looked at Xun Yu and said, "Are you sure, before dark, you have found a tunnel in the city."
Xun Yu has the passive skill Wang Zuozhi, and he can feel the movement in his territory. Yue Chen is just wanting to see how this ability is.
Xun Yu smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Qi, I don't need to give your Highness a reply before dark and after a stick of incense."
