Chapter 1685: The old woman, Empress Dowager (2)
His Majesty said that if the Yongzhou Garrison collectively disobeyed the order, he would tell them that the Duke of Wei had come back to life.
Your Majesty, you can predict things like a god! The seal-bearing eunuch took a deep breath and said, ”
“This is Lord Wei’s order!”
After he finished speaking, he found that the hall had suddenly fallen silent. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Everyone was looking at him without saying a word.
His gaze was very strange, indescribably strange.
After a few seconds, the veins on Yang Yan’s forehead bulged as he said, ”
“You’re making fun of us?”
He swore that if this damn eunuch dared to admit it, he would Pierce his chest with his spear in front of everyone.
The seal-bearing eunuch was from huaiqing and had seen many things. He was not afraid at all and said,
“Duke of Wei has been resurrected today. His Majesty has personally summoned his soul. If you don’t believe me, you can verify it when you return to the capital.”
The hall was in an uproar.
Everyone’s expression was different. Some were ecstatic, some were confused, some were shocked, some were suspicious, and some were excited …
Zhang Shen muttered,
“If Wei Yuan is really resurrected, I agree to retreat to the capital.”
Since Wei Yuan was in charge of the Army, the decision to retreat to the capital was not a desperate one. It was a death wish.
But no one believed him.
Wei Yuan had already died in Jingshan city, so how could he be revived?
At this moment, everyone in the hall heard yang qianhuan say, ”
“He’s not lying!”
Many pairs of eyes immediately focused on the back of the white-robed Sorcerer’s head.
Yang Yan quickly asked, ”
“You used the aura observation technique?”
You didn’t seem to have turned your head … Xu Erlang and the others added in their hearts.
Yang qianhuan chuckled and said in a slow, anxious tone, ”
“No, I didn’t. But …”
He deliberately paused for a moment to attract everyone’s attention.
She really wanted to hit him … The veins on the backs of Yang Yan and the others ‘hands bulged, and they couldn’t help but hold their weapons tightly.
Yang qianhuan didn’t care what the others were thinking. She was as calm as an old dog as she replied, ”
but I’ve seen Wei Yuan’s body in Song Qing’s Secret chamber. I also know that Xu Qi ‘an has been trying to resurrect Wei Yuan.
Oh, it’s the Wei Yuan that Xu yinluo resurrected … Everyone came to a sudden realization.
The doubts in the hearts of Yang Yan and Jin Luo disappeared.
If Xu Qi ‘an was resurrecting Wei Yuan, then it was indeed much more believable than the seal-bearing eunuch’s explanation of His Majesty personally summoning the soul to resurrect Wei Yuan.
Li Mubai heaved a sigh of relief and looked at everyone.
“Then, what do you all think?”
“Let’s retreat!” Fu Jingmen immediately said.
On the spot, everyone chose to leave Yongzhou. Yang Yan and the others were even a little impatient to return to the capital and see Wei Yuan.
Yang Yan, Chen Ying, yang qianhuan …
The seal-bearing eunuch pointed out all the trusted subordinates of Wei Yuan and the Empress, as well as the act tough King, and said, ”
“You have other missions, so you don’t need to return to the capital with the Army.”
Yang Yan and the others looked at each other and said, ”
“Do you have any orders, Lord Wei?”
The seal-bearing eunuch took out a silk pouch and said with a smile, ”
“They’re all inside.”
The eunuchs could leave as they pleased, but the withdrawal of the Army was a cumbersome task, including but not limited to gathering troops, moving weapons, money, and food, and destroying the bed crossbows and cannons that could not be brought along.
As the Yunzhou Army was just fifty miles away, in order not to alert the other party, they could not bring the civilians and evacuate on a large scale.
Therefore, the garrison did not alarm the common people, but Xu Erlang let Miao Youfang lead the team to bring all the Squire and officials who had money and food.
Those who didn’t want to leave would be convinced by reason.
Other than that, li Mubai ordered people to make scarecrows and place them on the city wall to confuse the scouts of the cloud region’s Army.
………..
Dawn, the time when the sky was at its darkest.
The cloud region Army, which had already finished gathering, quietly approached Yongzhou City under the cover of the Army.
A Scout with a decent cultivation base used his powerful eyesight and a telescope to look at the top of the Yongzhou City wall. He saw the densely packed figures standing in the darkness.
“Hiss, that’s not right …”
The Scout gasped and said to himself, ”
why did their numbers suddenly increase by several times? did they expect us to attack the city? ”
Normally, there wouldn’t be too many guards on duty at the top of the city wall. Most of the soldiers were resting in the barracks at the bottom of the city wall to ensure that their physical condition was at its peak.
It was the Scout’s job to be on guard.
The Scout turned to his companion and said, ”
“Go back and report that the situation at the top of the city wall is not right. There is a large number of people on night duty, and we are afraid that there is a trap.”
He was worried that his movements would be predicted in advance, and the defenders would be fully prepared, even having formulated an attack plan.
The scouts quickly headed to the cloud region’s Army to report the situation. To be cautious, the Army stopped and sent out Scouts to gather information.
As time passed, the sky gradually turned white in the East, and the dark sky turned blue.
At this moment, the cloud Prefecture’s Army realized that something was wrong. The people standing on the city wall were actually straw men.
Straw doll?
In the tent, Qi Guangbo’s heart sank when he heard the report.
“Send a winged cavalry warrior to investigate the situation.”
One of the riders from the Vermillion Bird Army rode his winged cavalry and charged towards Yongzhou City. After circling the city for a long time, he returned to the cloud Prefecture’s Army and gave a reply:
Da Feng’s troops had left Yongzhou and the barracks were empty.
Qi Guangbo no longer hesitated and sent his Army to the city, easily taking down harmony Prefecture.
After some exploration, they discovered that the DA Feng Army had taken away grain, gold, silver, military equipment, and destroyed large machinery.
Only hundreds of thousands of Yongzhou civilians were left.
………..
In the Barbican.
Xu Pingfeng, who was dressed in white, was not surprised by Qi Guangbo’s report. He said, ”
“Wei Yuan is going to compete with me in the capital.”
