None of the enemies are fools. They will all realize that interrupting one's own ascent is the most critical point. Who will really let oneself enter Luoyang and become a dragon?
In order to seduce or force Governor Yu Fan to go to Luo, Ye Qing did not expect to exert much power. He only used the same strategy as Yuan Shao to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Even if he failed to take the opportunity to kill, the two men in Yanzhou Jingyang's home base were short of troops, and there was no possibility of a sneak attack on Xuzhou from behind.
.
Now that Hulao was about to be broken, it was too late for these two people to go back all the way. Even if Ye Qing knew that he could not kill these two people, he felt that it was the right time to throw these two people away like old rags.
With this decision, a dark net emerged from the void, wrapping around the four-clawed dragon, and the boiling red energy condensed into a trap.
Qianqian let out a soft "Ah" and looked back at Ye Qing, only to hear him smile coldly: "You can't stand without breaking, madam, don't be afraid, this is only temporary, things will be different after breaking through."
"But if there is another assassination..."
Ye Qing smiled: "Isn't there a wife who protects me?"
Qianqian's eyes were red, she nodded and held his hand tightly.
Holding her hand, Ye Qing looked into the distance. In the distance, it connected the Yellow River to the north and the mountains to the south. It looked like a long red dragon in the night, facing the continuous lights of Hulao Pass.
There is a faint confrontation of luck between a dragon and a tiger.
Strong embankments are formed on both sides. This is due to the thick loess alluvial layer in the Central Plains and Hebei. The soil for the earth wall is naturally obtained from the trenches. It is the cheapest building material, and its performance and life span are all important.
Whether the ramming is strong or not, or to put it further, all depends on whether the labor force for ramming the earth is enough and whether the time of ramming the earth is in place.
Many rammed city walls are as hard as iron and have a lifespan of decades. Hulao Pass, for example, has a lifespan of hundreds of years. The Zhidao, a military highway built by the Qin Empire to go north to the grasslands, was still so hard that no grass could grow even two thousand years later.
Residents are accustomed to using transportation.
Ye Qing does not have such high requirements for the quality of the earth embankment. He only requires that it can be used in one day. The corresponding time requirement for ramming earth is greatly reduced. And from the perspective of ramming earth artificially... is there anything more than 500,000 men?
Even this group of princes are "loyal people" who brought themselves to Liangshangluo. When he launched the appeal, Ye Qing was thinking about how to use this huge resource in the name of the alliance leader... Even if it is temporarily used, it is extremely terrifying.
If we don't let them be busy and share the pressure now, in half a month they will have to bear the trouble of taking care of food and drink.
At least for now, it is completely free to drive, so if you don't use it, it will be in vain. So at night, it is the turn of 30,000 people to be responsible for filling up the soil, and even maintain a certain concentration of attacks, taking advantage of the number of people to the extreme.

Yu Fan looked at the hills seven miles away to the south: "Do you think Ye Qing felt it?"
"Mostly he feels it, but he must save Luoyang, huh... Time is his biggest enemy. This situation is far from before. He created his own predicament himself."
Mr. Kou took a long breath and said with a smile: "We are just pushing this to form a killing situation... At most, we can let him eliminate the killing situation, but he can't eliminate the time."
Yu Fan frowned: "This is what I don't understand. You can obviously fake it, go to Hebei to join forces with Gongsun Zan, and immediately form the Central Plains, sweeping Hebei. So what if all three million people in Luoyang die?"
"As long as we seize the world and enter the feudal state, this amount of popularity will only be converted into 300,000 people. What is it compared to 8 million Yingzhou?" Yu Fan assessed the risks and benefits of Ye Qing's move. In his opinion,
Zhili, this sworn enemy, is definitely not a stupid person. If this is the case, wouldn't he be worse than a fool as he is always being suppressed?
Mr. Kou fanned himself and analyzed: "Perhaps considering Jizhou Guangzong, the home of Taiping Road in the Julu area, Ye Qing should be very afraid of this group of forces."
Yu Fan shook his head: "This is a reason, but it can actually be avoided. To put it simply, even if the four states of Hebei are broken into pieces in your own hands, it is better than being well preserved in the hands of the enemy... What you can't get, with
What gives others a chance?”
"If I were Ye Qing, and I could directly gather the sweeping momentum in a short period of time, even if I could withstand the explosion on Taiping Road, I would have to use the power of Yu, Xu, Ji, Qing, You, and the six states first... Oh, and Jingbei is also included.
We have already reached six and a half states. We will crush Yanzhou and Yangzhou first... I don’t know if we can defeat the evil spirits and Yin soldiers in the end. At least we have cleared out the governor and myself, Yu Fan, and even killed them directly in Xiatu, and returned.
Is there anyone else on earth worthy of being the lord of Yingzhou?"
Yu Fan said with a hint of cruelty towards others and himself: "I have always thought that Ye Qing is essentially the same as me, and his intentions can be seen in many of his actions, but this time I can't understand what he is thinking... yet
Is there anything more important than Yinghou?"
At the end of this evaluation, he couldn't help but put himself in someone else's shoes and speculate: "Or... is there something special about Luoyang?"
Mr. Kou's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The information he had participated in and learned was extremely extensive. After careful consideration, he calmed down and said: "The only doubt is that the immortal descended. According to the announcement afterwards, the descending point was Luoyang, but the details will not be disclosed to the mortal world. Our hands are
There is no such information, so the Lord will have to wait until he returns to earth to find out through the heavenly channels."
Yu Fan came back to his senses and smiled: "Yes, I am overthinking it. No matter what Ye Qing's purpose is, all he needs to do now is to block it secretly and make it fail."

"This can't go on like this," a Taiping Taoist priest said through gritted teeth on Guancheng.
The special envoy's eyes flashed and he did not respond immediately.
The entire coalition army on the opposite side could not be said to be in a strict and orderly manner during the night battle, but they remained orderly in the big scene and there was no chance of a sneak attack at night.
The sky lantern cluster's nighttime arrow array attack was obviously designed to target the magic power of magicians like them.
In this general battle situation, the 170 Taoist priests on Taiping Road are already at a disadvantage in total and consume a lot of mana, but the magicians on the opposite side always have sufficient mana. If all the 300 magicians on the opposite side obey Ye Qing, they can take advantage of the night
Launching a large-scale raid can completely offset the Hulao Pass Magic Formation...
Fortunately, the three enemy groups of magicians are not of the same mind at all, and there are less than a hundred who can actually obey Ye Qing's attack.
A few real people secretly rejoiced, but most Taoist priests were not so calm, because their mana had been exhausted to the dangerous level on the battlefield.
"I originally thought that it would be enough to fight against these one hundred, but Liu Bei plotted against several parties, and they were at each other's throats."
"Liu Bei is extremely cunning, I'm afraid there is another conspiracy behind him..."
The special envoy listened for a long time, until many Taoist priests looked at him, and then he uttered one word: "Stop it."
"Uh, where is Marshal Hu?"
"We have done enough. In the overall situation, someone will always have to sacrifice something...it can't be us."
The Taoist priests breathed a sigh of relief. Mana is the foundation of life and the foundation of life. Isn't it just a sacrifice to waste mana like this? Don't they take their Taoist priests seriously?
They ran away from the city walls one by one.
The Taoist communication was very fast, and Hu Zhen on the city gate tower soon got the news that the Taoist priests had retreated from the city. This attitude of beheading first and beating later made his eyes cold. He stared at the Taoist who had sent the message for a while, and finally just sighed.
He breathed: "Order all the soldiers to withdraw from the first line of the battlements, and the crossbowmen to take shelter in the arrow towers at the top of the city."
"What if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack the city?"
"It's almost dawn, let him attack if he attacks." Hu Zhen roared angrily. He came back to his senses under the cold eyes of his subordinates and slowed down his voice: "We...even Cao and Sun were fooled by Ye Qing all night.
He has no intention of attacking the city at night...tonight is not the time he chose for a general attack."
"When will that be?"
How did he know that Hu Zhen was impatient and waved these generals to go down: "Anyway, just for a day or two, be careful."
All the generals looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"At the critical moment of the battle, I have to resist even if you are trying to save someone's life. Anyone who doesn't retreat before the time line will be killed."
"yes"
After the generals went down, Hu Zhen cursed secretly and turned around to tell the Taoist priest who had sent him the message: "Keep the communication channel with the opposite side and notify me at any time if the situation changes...especially about the levee..."
At this time, covered by the spiritual mist, a small team also rushed to the bank of the Yellow River and buried some spiritual stones that glowed with the faint water, faintly connecting the two banks...
And some eyes were paying attention in the darkness, retreating silently, passing the message everywhere. Just like this, under the dim stars and moon before dawn, the undercurrent surged inside and outside Guancheng.
On a hill in the distance, a person looked up at the sky full of stars.
It was a really clear night. The sky was densely dotted with stars, bright and dark. After staring at them for a long time, the man sighed: "If I had such a starry night on earth, I wouldn't be afraid."
The night is vast and the stars are twinkling.
After setting the time, he saw a red dragon-shaped aura rising into the sky not far away. This person clearly witnessed it and smiled slightly: "The red dragon is rising. From this, we can judge that this Ye Qing is still alive in the lower world.
It has really become a trend. This Ye Qing has risen from the ground and climbed all the way up, from being a scholar to being a scholar, from being a self-promoter to being second in the rankings. One of his essays has already entered the eyes of the superiors, and he is already an extraordinary person."
"The results of repeated achievements in the future were beyond expectations. No wonder he applied on the same day, and the Heavenly Court readily gave him the blessing land general, and allowed the world under the earth to evolve into the world of this book."
At this point, the man paused, showing that he was a little emotional, and pondered for a moment: "The states are still in the early stages. Now it seems that this state is turbulent, but it has reached the middle stage and is nearing the end."
"Although Ye Qing has taken some advantage, judging from his current performance, he is very good in both military affairs and economics. He has the qualifications of a king. I don't know how many people above him are happy and how many are confused.
,How many people invest?”
"Dacai originally had a lot of energy, so he left some room, but for the sake of the overall situation, if there is a better choice, how difficult is it for God to change his destiny?"
"It's just that, having said that, there are still many thresholds to pass, and there is one right before my eyes..." Before the man could finish his words, he saw a red light suddenly shot out from the sky. This red light was completely different from the red dragon, and the color was like blood.
, the light was blazing, and there was a faint sound of killing, approaching the red dragon.
Near the red dragon, two more murderous intentions rushed out, and they cooperated internally and externally.
Seeing this, the man just smiled and said nothing more.
