Things are coming
After Su Fei accepted the order, he immediately led his troops and horses to Yucheng.
When Su Fei was showing off his power under Yucheng City, the news of the Han army's attack on the pasture and the letter asking for help were also sent to Yucheng Palace one after another.
King Yu Cheng looked at the two letters and newspapers in front of him, and his expression became serious.
Soon he ordered to summon his cronies into the palace.
"What do you think the Han army wants?"
King Yucheng asked after informing all his cronies.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Yu Cheng said, "Your Highness, the Han army is acting like this, I'm afraid Na Chanfeng has reached an agreement with the Han army!"
The first thing that Yu Chenggong Xiang thought of was that Gengchen went to the Second Master to ask for an audience with Zhang Yue some time ago.
"What the Palace Minister said is true. I also received a message the day before yesterday that the troops under Guishan City are being mobilized frequently!"
The person speaking at this time was General Yu Chengzuo.
When King Yu Cheng heard this, he said seriously, "So, the Han army wants to attack me, Yu Cheng, together with Chan Feng?"
At this time, General Yu Cheng was about to speak but stopped.
King Yu Cheng noticed his movements keenly, "What do you think, General Right?"
When King Yu Cheng asked, the right general stood up and said, "Your Highness, do you think that the Han army has no plan to attack me, Yu Cheng?"
King Yu Cheng asked, "How can you see it?"
Right General Yu Cheng said, "Your Majesty, in the information sent by the command department, does it mention that the Han army dispatched trebuchets?"
King Yu Cheng shook his head and said, "That's not true!"
Yu Cheng's right general said, "If the Han army wants to attack Yu Cheng, it is impossible not to carry siege weapons...especially the trebuchet!"
As Right General Yu Cheng spoke, he thought of the terrifying scene when the Han army trebuchets attacked the city in the past.
At this time, Yu Chengzuo General said, "The Han army is currently dispatching cavalry. Maybe the siege weapons are among the rear troops!"
Right General Yu Cheng said, "That may be the case, but according to the intelligence, the Han army's chief guard only brought 3,000 troops into the second division this time..."
"Besides, the Wusun Kingdom has surrendered to the Han. If the Han army wants to attack Yucheng... the Wusun people will definitely go south!"
At this point, the right general turned to the Prime Minister and asked, "I wonder if the Prime Minister has received any information about the Wusun people going south?"
The palace minister shook his head and said, "That's not true...but why did the Han army suddenly send troops to attack the ranch?"
The right general stared at the left general, and then said: "The Han army's move is probably to warn and punish me, Yu Cheng!"
Palace Minister Yu Cheng also thought of this at this time, and he also looked at the left general with dissatisfaction.
When the Zuo General saw this, he naturally knew that both of them believed that he had sent troops to rob the Second Division Ranch, which led to what happened today.
Although he felt aggrieved in his heart, he did not dare to argue.
The orders were given by oneself and the troops were mobilized by oneself, so naturally one has to shoulder the blame.
King Yu Cheng listened to the discussion of several people and tapped several cases with his fingers.
After a long time, he raised his head and said to everyone, "It seems that the Han army has no plan to attack Yu Cheng this time!"
At this point, he paused for a moment and then continued, "What do you think about the pasture matter and whether we should send troops to rescue it?"
The right general stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, do you want to start a war with the Han Dynasty?"
King Yucheng shook his head when he heard this and said, "Yucheng is just a small country, how dare you go to war with the Han... He thought of the rumored Han army, and he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart."
King Yu Cheng felt quite regretful at this time. He dared to harass Ershi City, but he only relied on the natural barrier between Dawan and the Han Dynasty.
Others were tempted by the conditions and property provided by the Parthians.
Even so, it was just to harass the Ershi City Ranch, and he also ordered not to kill any big man.
What I am afraid of is that the Han army will launch a large-scale expedition to the west as it did more than ten years ago.
But I didn't expect that just by harassing Ershicheng Ranch, the Han army would be dispatched in large numbers.
At this time, Palace Minister Yu Cheng said, "It's better to give up the pasture!"
"Give up the ranch!" General Yu Chengzuo stood up excitedly after hearing this.
"If we give up the ranch, what should I, Yu Cheng, cavalry do?"
Lieutenant Zuo, Yu Cheng, who had been silent until now, said, "I, Yu Cheng, am in trouble all because of An An. Why don't I ask for help from An An?"
King Yucheng said, "Rest in peace? I'm afraid the distant water cannot save the near fire!"
King Yu Cheng's son Wu Chen shouted at this time, "The Han army only has a thousand soldiers... Yu Cheng has 20,000 elite soldiers, why should we be afraid of him..."
Palace Prime Minister Yu Cheng looked at Wu Chen who was shouting, shook his head, and sighed, "Your Highness has never seen the power of the Han army... In the past, the Han army with 700 cavalry forced King Kang Ju to hand over the late king..."
Everyone in the audience sighed when they heard the palace minister talking about the battle between the Han and the Han army in the past.
The only prince, Wuchen, was still unconvinced and said, "I, Yu Cheng, defeated the Han army twice in the past..."
"Besides, I, Yu Cheng, only had 3,000 soldiers and horses back then, but now I have 20,000 troops... How can we be the same!"
At this time, Captain You also supported, "What the prince said is not unreasonable. Although the Han army is strong, I, Yu Cheng, am not weak either..."
After weighing it in his mind, General Zuo said, "What the prince said makes sense... We can send people to negotiate with the big man..."
King Yu Cheng was naturally reluctant to part with the ranch, and finally decided to send people to Ershi City to negotiate with the Han.
…
Gengchen had already returned to Guishan City.
"Marquis Yunyang wants me, Dawan, to capture Marakanda within a month?"
Chan Feng frowned tightly.
"Yes, I think this is an opportunity for Dawan to rise!"
Gengchen drank wine and talked at the same time.
"Marakanda is now in the hands of the Parthians. Attacking Malakanda may lead to war with the Parthian Empire!"
Before Chanfeng could speak, the great elder first expressed his worries.
After hearing this, Chan Feng waved his hands and said, "An'an is not a big problem. Now I, Dawan, and An'an are already in a hostile relationship... It's just that Malakanda also involves Kang Ju..."
Gengchen said, "King Kang Ju is too busy taking care of himself at the moment, so he has nothing to fear for the time being..."
Chan Feng nodded, "In this case, we have to think about how to capture Marakanda..."
Having said this, both Chanfeng and Gengchen looked at the great elder.
The Great Elder's family owns a lot of properties in Marakanda, so they may be able to serve as internal agents.
When the great elder saw the two people looking at him, he naturally understood what they meant.
He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can sneak into Maracanda in the name of my caravan..."
Gengchen was not satisfied with this, but asked, "How many private soldiers does the Great Elder have in Marakanda?"
The great elder heard this and said, "There should be eighty private soldiers..."
Chanfeng said with great joy, "This way we can capture Marakanda..."
Next, the three of them carefully discussed their action plan.
Soon a plan to attack Maracanda was completed in this small room.
Early on the third day, a caravan of about 400 people slowly walked out of Guishan City.
At the same time, an army of 3,000 men in the southern part of Dawan also began to secretly move westward.
