Chapter 249: Traffic Road
At night, the mist was hazy, and I walked along the enclave official road. A shadow of a city appeared in the distance.
Along the way, the entire army did not pass by quickly, but did not stop at all. In the past half day, they also walked about a hundred miles.
"There is Changhui City ahead." Yu Sheng's clear voice came: "This place is well-connected and is a major transportation road. If you occupy this city, you can watch the situation better."
Ye Guan nodded slightly. The map of the enclave had long been familiar with it. Of course, he knew the importance of Changhui City's geographical location.
This small small city can be said to be the main road connecting the cities on the east and west sides of the enclave. The enclave area is very wide and there are other routes for linking, but it does not run through the main road, which makes it easy to walk.
"I'll bother Lord Yu, go and call the door." Ye Guan whispered: "If you can do nothing, try not to use swords and weapons."
"Okay!" Yu Sheng agreed, knocked his horse's belly lightly, and the horse slowly walked forward and headed straight for the gate of Changhui City.
He did not bring any soldiers for the rest of his life, just him.
The remaining soldiers lined up in the road, and none of them had any extra words. A faint sense of silence gathered around them, like a dark cloud.
"Enter the East Prince's Mansion, open the city gate!" Yu Sheng sat on the horse, stopped in front of the city gate of Changhui City, and shouted loudly at the top of the city.
As soon as he finished speaking, a "creaking" sound was heard, and the gate of Changhui City actually opened. This made Yu Sheng stunned, and he was completely unexpected.
It is basically a routine to call the gate in front of the city. Except for the city of oneself, the enemy's city has opened before it can be opened. With the slowly opened gate, Yu Sheng was a little stunned.
Looking at the city again, I saw several people running out of the city. The leader was a fat man in brocade. Seeing his steps running, he was already a little panting.
Seeing a few people coming out, Yu Sheng frowned slightly and then looked back.
Not far away, Ye Guan and Huang Yuchen also saw the opening of Changhui City gate. Huang Yuchen was surprised, but Ye Guan was already in the ancient well.
"Transfer the order, slowly enter the city." Ye Guan whispered, knocking his horse's belly lightly, and slowly moving forward.
The order was issued, and all the soldiers urged the horses and marched forward slowly.
Huang Yuchen was still a little puzzled, not knowing why Ye Guan rashly let the troops advance without understanding the enemy's situation. But after walking forward for a few steps, he realized it.
Before the city gate, Yu Sheng sat on the horse, his weapon was majestic and powerful without anger. In front of him, more than a dozen people fell to his knees, and the leader was a fat man in brocade.
Seeing this, Ye Guan smiled slightly, turned to Cui Chi behind him and said, "General Cui, you lead all the people into the city, take down the main defense location, and others are on standby, and do not harass the people."
"Old order!" Cui Chi got the order and immediately arranged it, but Ye Guan took Huang Yuchen and rode his horse to Yu Sheng.
Huang Yuchen sat on the horse and looked coldly at the dozen people kneeling in front of him, with a cold face. He had no good impression of the city lords of all the enclaves, especially this person who surrendered without fighting.
"This person is the lord of Changhui City, named Yang Yun." Yu Sheng said softly when he saw Ye Guan and the others coming.
At this moment, behind them, the black-armored Iron Cavalry of the East Prince's Mansion followed the official road and entered Changhui City directly, ignoring the intention of the person kneeling on the ground.
Ye Guan's order was very clear. Entering the city, occupying all major defensive locations, and not harassing the people. The implication is that if you encounter resistance, kill.
"Little man Yang Yun, I've seen an adult." Yang Yun knelt on the ground at this moment, his fat body trembled slightly. The dozen people kneeling behind him were all the main figures in the city, including some clan leaders and generals of the defenders.
Yang Yun naturally didn't know Yu Sheng Ye Guan and others, but when he heard about the Eastern Prince's Mansion, he was already scared.
The rumors about the Eastern Prince's Mansion in the enclave have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Changhui City is also located on a major transportation road, and the rumors Yang Yun heard were several times higher than those of other city lords. At this moment, the three people riding on the horse and in front of him also frightened him.
"Yang Yun?" Huang Yuchen raised his eyebrows. For some reason, since he learned that the rebellion of the imperial capital was initiated by Yang Qin, he had no good feelings for those with surname Yang. At this moment, when he heard the city lord's surname Yang, he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.
"Yes, yes!" Yang Yun didn't dare to breathe for a moment, and whispered: "The villain is called Yang Yun."
"The surname of Yang is indeed not a good thing." Huang Yuchen glared at Yang Yun who was kneeling in front of him and said angrily.
Just this sentence made Yang Yun scared to death, and his body kneeling on the ground was obviously trembling even harder. His head was deep down and he did not dare to say another word.
"Lord Yang, don't be afraid." At this moment, Ye Guan's voice like a breeze came, and Yang Yun and the people who were kneeling behind him were relieved. The fear and tension just now seemed to be a little relaxed because of this sentence: "What do you mean by kneeling here with all the respected elders?"
"Ah, ah, this..." Yang Yun was obviously panicked when he heard Ye Guan's question, so he didn't dare to look up and hurriedly said: "All subjects in Changhui City will supply the Great Lord of the East Palace."
When Yu Sheng heard this sentence, he showed a playful expression. He turned to Ye Guan and said, "Senior Ye, I will follow the troops to enter the city first and arrange a defensive sign." Then, without waiting for Ye Guan to reply, he directly urged the horses to join the army and entered the city.
Ye looked at Yu Sheng without saying a word, then looked at Huang Yuchen next to him. At this moment, Huang Yuchen was looking at the gate of Changhui City, not knowing what he wanted to write anymore.
"So, Lord Yang, are you going to surrender to my Eastern Prince's Mansion?" Ye Guan chuckled, looked at Yang Yun in front of him, and asked softly.
"Yes! Yes!" Yang Yun nodded like pounding garlic and said, "Submit the East Prince's Mansion, surrender with integrity, and take all the subjects of Changhuicheng to surrender sincerely."
"Then Lord Yang, please get up." Ye Guan still had a smile on his face, as if what happened now was within his calculations. His tone was like spring breeze, but no one could refuse.
When Yang Yun and others heard this, they staggered to stand up one after another, but they just stood respectfully and did not dare to make any moves.
"My soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion need to be temporarily stationed in Changhui City. Please ask Lord Yang to lead the way and introduce to me the basic situation of Changhui City?" Ye Guan said with a smile when he saw several people standing up.
"Yes!" Yang Yun nodded quickly, but looked at the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion who were still entering the city continuously, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Wait for the soldiers to come in first, we are entering." Ye Guan said: "At this time, why not introduce the elders to me and basically tell the city that you are in the city?"
Yang Yun nodded immediately, his fat body turned, and said, "Sir, these people are the leaders of our Changhui City, this is the head of the Lin family."
Yang Yun pointed to an old man over fifty years old. The old man looked very energetic, but he was wearing a brocade robe, but his color was much lower-key than Yang Yun's.
"Head of the Lin family." Ye Guan sat on the horse and bowed slightly to the old man. The old man obviously didn't realize that Ye Guan would suddenly salute him, and hurriedly replied, looking a little hasty.
"The Lin family mainly operates grain stores, miscellaneous cloth and other businesses in Changhui City. They are well-managed and pay the most monthly taxes." Yang Yun saw that Ye Guan was polite and eloquent, so he said a few more words.
As soon as he said this, Huang Yuchen clearly saw that a bitter smile flashed across the face of the old man surnamed Lin.
Afterwards, Yang Yun introduced the other six people again, three of whom were also business families in the city, who respectively dealt with miscellaneous items, medicinal materials, hotels, etc. The remaining two were generals of the defenders of Changhui City.
When Yang Yun introduced these people, Ye Guan bowed one by one, but Huang Yuchen could clearly feel that none of the seven people brought out by Yang Yun came voluntarily. Yang Yun kept playing tricks in front of Ye Guan and brought out all the prominent figures in Changhui City, which obviously was not at ease.
Although he thought so in his heart, his face did not show it. In Huang Yuchen's opinion, these are all irrelevant trivial matters. There will be people in every city and family forces. This is basically common sense, and it is no big deal.
But Ye Guan was polite and greeted everyone with a smile.
After about one stick of incense, all the soldiers entered the city. Ye Guan then spoke and asked Yang Yun to lead everyone into the city.
Yang Yun was in front and led the seven people behind him to the city, and Ye Guan and Huang Yuchen rode their horses and followed behind. During this process, Ye Guan and Huang Yuchen had no intention of getting off the horse. Yang Yun and his group had no temper at all.
After entering the city, the main street opposite the city gate was densely filled with black armored iron cavalry. All the soldiers faced the houses on both sides, with a look of silence and solemn look on their faces.
Changhui City is not a big city, but it is much larger than Changxiang City. The buildings in the city stand tall, but the streets are deserted and there is no pedestrian.
But it is no wonder that a large group of black-armored iron cavalry from the Eastern Prince's Mansion will be shocked if anyone sees it. Moreover, Yang Yun must have notified the whole city as soon as possible.
Seeing the soldiers riding quietly on horseback on both sides of the road, Yang Yun was frightened, but he kept walking straight to his city lord's mansion.
After entering the city, Huang Yuchen looked back and saw that the top of the city had been occupied by soldiers from the East Prince's Mansion, but at the top of the city, he could not see the shadow of Yu Sheng.
"Squeak..."
As Huang Yuchen and Ye Guan entered the city, the soldiers responsible for guarding the city gate slowly closed the gate of Changhui City.
Along the way, on both sides of the road were full of soldiers from the East Prince's Mansion. Each soldier was extremely quiet, riding quietly on his horse, facing the building in front of him.
Walking forward not far, I saw a square that was not large in size, but at this moment it was full of people, hundreds of black-armored iron cavalry, surrounding the entire square.
Huang Yuchen's eyes narrowed and he immediately stepped forward.
