Following the official road of the enclave, Ye Guan led 20,000 soldiers to move forward slowly. He was not in a hurry. Qiu Chang City was surrounded by mountains and the mountain road was rugged, and his troops were all cavalry. When entering Qiu Chang City, the combat effectiveness would be weakened. Although he could not find a good way to solve the current situation, he still had to calculate in his mind how to arrange it after entering Qiu Chang City.

Moreover, Qiu Changcheng must have tightened a string now, and he will wait for him to lead his troops there. The longer the string is tightened, the more beneficial it will be to our side.

If the Dongwang Mansion had not taken the enclave as soon as possible and carried out the next move, Ye Guan wanted to surround Dongxuan City and spend ten days and half a month first, so that all the mentally tense people in Qiuchang City would remain in a highly nervous state. In the long run, there would be a good effect.

After the internal people are almost exhausted, they will be dispatched to harass them from time to time, so that they will not be able to relax for a moment. In this case, the defenses within the entire Qiuchang City will be relaxed. At that time, the attack will be twice the result with half the effort.

But now it is not possible. The whole world of praying for trouble is in a turmoil. If the Eastern Palace is not ready before the battle in the imperial capital is over, then what is waiting for the Eastern Palace may be a bleak ending. At that time, let alone avenge the old prince, it is all different to whether there is an Eastern Palace.

Ye Guan closed his eyes lightly and rode on the war horse. He looked like he was sleeping, but in fact he was always calculating in his heart.

He knew clearly that the orders on his shoulders were extremely heavy, and Huang Yongning putting them on him was a helpless move. This time he entered the enclave, the battle of Qiu Changcheng was the top priority. After taking Qiu Changcheng, he almost announced that the enclave plan was successful.

His hidden injury was suppressed by him to the lowest point, and as long as it did not explode, there would be no big deal. Now the only thing Ye Guan was worried about was the person after Shen Tuyan. If that person was really a master of practicing death energy and wanted to deal with the Eastern Prince's Mansion, then he might be the only one who could compete with him.

Although all the generals in the army have cultivation levels, several of them are all high-level martial artists, and are considered rare masters. However, if they really face the people who practice death energy, they are afraid they will not be enough.

But if you really fight that person head-on, the winner is second. As long as you use all your strength, it will inevitably cause hidden injuries in your body. At that time, the injury will explode and may directly lead to death.

Ye Guan is not a person who is afraid of death. On the contrary, he was ready to die long before he came to the enclave. But what he was worried about was Qiu Changcheng, an enclave, and the 20,000 soldiers who are following him now.

"If possible, let's negotiate and resolve it." Ye Guan closed his eyes and said in his heart: "I hope that the previous guesses were all out of thin air. The person behind it is not practicing death energy. As long as it is not practicing death energy, the matter will turn around."

The troops slowly moved forward, and the front army opened the way. Ye Guan was in the central army. 20,000 soldiers slowly marched towards Qiuchang City, and finally arrived near Zongqiu Mountain on the evening of the second day.

Ye Guan ordered the entire army to stop advancing. He came to the pass of Zongqiu Mountain, looked at the winding official road in front of him, and stretched straight into the distant mountains, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The mountains around Zongqiu Mountain are lush and the mountains are not towering, but they are also steep and upright. There are many valleys in such mountains. The valley areas are very easy to set up. For Shentuyan, it has reached a desperate stage. As long as you have a little brain, you will inevitably set up an ambush on the road to Qiuchang City, in order to slow down the attack of the Dongwang Mansion, and to use all means to kill the living power of the Dongwang Mansion as much as possible.

After a while, Ye Guan ordered the army to set up camp at the Zongqiu Mountain Pass, and at the same time, two teams of soldiers were stationed to occupy the high points of the mountain pass, and to warn each other. Then he sent two teams of scouts to order the simple clothes to travel, not to ride horses, and go deep into the Qiuchangcheng area to find out the way ahead.

Afterwards, the entire army stationed at the Zongqiu Mountain Pass and blocked the entire official road. Outside the camp, several horse-resisting horse-resisting gates were also quickly established, everything was orderly and extremely fast.

Along the way, the army of the Dongwang Mansion did not encounter any obstacles and was smooth sailing. Because they walked slowly, the soldiers did not feel tired. However, Ye Guan still divided the 20,000 soldiers into three shifts, one of them was responsible for camping, and the other two were responsible for patrols to prevent possible sudden attacks.

If it were normal, although Ye Guan was very cautious in leading his troops, he would not have thought of this today. It was just because this battle was too important to the Eastern Palace, and Ye Guan had to be cautious.

Especially in the face of Shen Tuyan who was doing everything he could, Ye Guan was even more careful. Although this person did not show any extraordinary ability to command troops when he was fighting with Yu Sheng, later analysis showed that this person may have created more deaths to meet the needs of the people behind him, so he adopted the life-demanding method, which made Yu Sheng successfully break through.

However, this breakthrough was successful, and to Ye Guan, it seemed that Shen Tuyan did it deliberately. However, he did not say these words to anyone, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

The construction of the simple camp took a very short time. Just the first night, a simple camp appeared at the entrance of Zongqiu Mountain. A bonfire was lit in the camp, and the surrounding area should be filled with red.

The battalion was tightly garrisoned, and all the soldiers were divided into three squads and patrolled the battalion from time to time. Several teams of scouts wandered outside the battalion to search for clues around.

Ye Guan was sitting in a simple tent, sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding a classic in his left hand and a piece of dry food in his right hand, and eating quietly.

A candlelight was placed on the small table in front of Ye Guan, emitting a slight glow, jumping from time to time, making the tent look bright and dark.

Ye Guan did not arrange a guard for himself, only Xu Bao stood quietly outside the account. Because he knew that if someone came to kill him at this moment, it would not be possible for a few guards to deal with it.

Holding the classics in his hand, Ye Guan gradually became fascinated by it. This was his rare leisure time. He only had this little time to eat every day, so he could do something he liked.

The classics in his hand are a wild enclave book, which writes about some legends and bizarre things that appeared in the enclave. Ye Guan was quiet and interesting to read, but he did not believe in the legends written in this classic, and just took a joke.

A moment later, outside the camp, a sergeant knelt on one knee and whispered in the account: "It's the matter."

Ye Guan looked up, glanced at the tent door, put the last piece of dry food in his hand into his mouth, swallowed it quickly, took another sip of tea, and then said, "Come in."

Ye Guan's tent did not put down the curtain. He could see the situation outside the tent at a glance. The person coming was a scout, and it should be an investigation from the left and right, and there was a result.

The scout followed the order and stepped forward a few steps, knelt in front of Ye Guan on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Report to General Ye, the area around the camp has been investigated for more than ten miles away, but no suspicious points have been found."

Ye Guan thought a little bit, the scout's reward did not exceed his expectations, but he was still a little worried and asked, "You can find out clearly. There are traces of people passing through the mountain paths and dense forests on both sides. Are there traces of traps on the left and right roads?"

"I have carefully investigated the surrounding area. The surrounding area is deserted and the nearest village is about fifty miles. I am afraid that there are not many hunters coming to this mountain. Now it is wartime, so no one has come." The scout said respectfully.

"We are outsiders and are not familiar with the terrain and humanities here. We should be extra careful when exploring." Ye Guan nodded slightly and instructed: "You inform the scouts that after an hour, go out to investigate again. This time, we will extend forward ten miles and do not let go of any clues."

"Ode to the Lord!" The scout immediately clasped his fists and took the order and left.

Ye Guan was so cautious that the scout not only did not disagree with it, but also attached great importance to it. It was just because Ye Guan had a strong reputation and had the title of unparalleled wisdom and plan, so he was so cautious that his subordinates naturally did not dare to slack off.

After waiting for an hour, only a quarter of an hour later, several teams of scouts set out again. At Ye Guan's order, the scope of the investigation extended forward ten miles, almost walking around the surrounding wilderness.

Since the camp was established, Ye Guan always had a feeling that this feeling was faint, but it was real. Ye Guan had experienced many battles, and he knew very well that this feeling often indicates danger. This was the feeling accumulated in hundreds of battles, mysterious and mysterious, but it helped Ye Guan escape from danger more than once.

Two hours later, late at night.

The bonfires were extinguished in the camp, and only the torches near the camp gate were still on. Except for the patrol sergeants, the rest of the sergeants were resting.

In Ye Guan's camp, a faint candlelight was still on. Just a quarter of an hour ago, except for the scouts who went deep into the interior, all the scouts had returned to the team. They searched for a radius of thirty miles and found no suspicious traces. It was really rare to see people moving around here, except for many wild beasts that were coming out of the night.

Ye Guan is now thinking, and he feels something is wrong.

The place where I chose to camp was on the official road, blocking the Zongqiu Mountain Pass. This was the official road and the only road to the Qiongqiu Mountains in Qiuchang City. It was impossible for me to say that there would be no traces nearby. But the facts were in front of me, and the scouts reported that there was no sign of people moving around thirty miles around, and even on the official road, there was no footprint.

This made Ye Guan frown slightly. The current situation was a bit unreasonable.

If something goes wrong, there must be something wrong.

However, no enemy ambush was found or traps were found on the side of the official road. Within 30 miles, no traces of enemy activities were found.

"This Shen Tuyan doesn't even have a secret whistle?" Ye Guan frowned slightly, unable to think of what the sign of Zongqiushan pointed to.
