Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 97 New City Lord!
More than a thousand cavalry troops set foot on the return journey.

The commanders of the cavalry didn't know why their master had changed his appearance, and even changed his person, but the current master has a higher title and a higher rank. Not only did more than a thousand people have no objection, but their enthusiasm was even higher.

When Ye Yan came here, he was training and marching forward, and his speed was much slower. This time, the speed of the return trip was much faster.

Traveling almost three hundred miles a day, he returned to Chuishui City in two days.

On the day of arriving in Chushui City, all the officials of Chushui City, big and small, went out to greet him.

The imperial city order has ordered the post office to send Ye Yan's appointment back to Chushui City. The change of owner of Chushui City is a foregone conclusion. This is the first time for the new city owner to come to Chushui City. Naturally, all the city officials will come out to pay a visit together.

"Second prince, I have fulfilled my mission and returned." Ye Yan jumped off the horse a hundred meters away, handed the horse to the people around him, and ran over quickly by himself.

The show that should be done is still to be done, after all, he has not really become Lan Qiyu's brother-in-law yet.

Lan Qiyu looked at Ye Yan with a confused face, is this man my brother-in-law?He couldn't figure out what he was talking about, so he nodded mechanically, quickly grabbed Ye Yan's hand, and led him to the officials.

Ye Yan waved his hand to tell the officials not to compliment.

After clearing his throat, Ye Yan said: "The court has sent back the news, right? I am General Zhuge Xiaoliang, the newly appointed Zhengyuan Marquis and Weiyuan General. From today on, Chuishui City will be commanded by me. I am the former city lord." Lan Quan committed the crime of treason, but the monarch remembered that Chuishui City had stood at the border for many years and continuously resisted the invaders, so he did not pursue him and his accomplices. I think everyone is smart and should understand what I said."

Ye Yan looked around, looking at the people around him with unfriendly eyes, all the people being targeted were frightened, and all he looked at were those who Ye Yan pretended to be Lan Quanshi and kept showing affection to him a while ago.

"I also have no intention of pursuing the case, but from today on, Chuishui City has entered a state of combat readiness, and all ministries have begun to work hard to prepare food and fodder. Anyone who violates the rules will be subject to military law!"

The Zheng Kingdom is about to make a move recently, and five hundred miles east of Chuishui City is the Zheng Kingdom. Once a war breaks out, Chuishui City will bear the brunt. The monarch said that he would not give Ye Yan troops, which meant that the sergeants of Chuishui City would be under Lan Qiyu's command.

In this way, if he wins the battle, Lan Qiyu will be well-mannered, but if he loses, Ye Yan is unworthy of being in charge of the military. Otherwise, how could the monarch of Nanli hand over a big city to an outsider, and he is not afraid of leading troops to rebel!
After dismissing the crowd, Rou Ning and Lan Qiyu walked forward and looked at Ye Yan with some doubts.

"Why do we need to go into a state of military readiness? Who are we going to fight with?" Lan Qiyu asked puzzled.

Rou Ning also looked at Ye Yan eagerly, wanting to hear his explanation.

"Can Da Yan send troops to harass me these days when I'm not here?"

Lan Qiyu shook his head.

"Can Zheng Guo send troops to harass him?"

"No, but there is friction with Yu Cheng."

Yucheng is located a hundred miles south of Chuishui City, but it is a full six hundred miles away from Zheng Guo. Why go there?
You don't need to run for a hundred miles, don't you need to bring food?
After thinking about it, Ye Yan probably understood Zheng Guo's idea. He planned to use troops on two fronts, using suspicious soldiers to encircle Yucheng instead of attacking it. Yucheng is a big city in Nanli, but the garrison is less, only about 5, not [-] Ten thousand people can't beat them at all.

But Chuishui City is different. The height of the city is no more than three feet, and the ladder can be used to climb the city wall, but there are [-] troops in the city, and there are no [-] soldiers and horses.

But even if Zheng Guo defeated Yucheng, it would be useless. There was Chuishui to the north of Yucheng and he could rush to help at any time, and Youcheng was watching in the south. Youcheng was powerful and far superior to Chuishui. Zheng Guo would not take risks and put the first battle in Youcheng. City, in this case, the only possibility is to attack Tarui.

With the help of the siege of Yucheng, a strategy was used to divert the tiger away from the city of Chuishui, and then take advantage of the vacancy to enter and take down the water in one fell swoop!
Ye Yan explained this to the two of them, and the two looked at Ye Yan with admiration. Although they didn't know if it was right, they felt very powerful and reasonable!

"Brother-in-law, since you have seen through Zheng Guo's purpose, do you already have a plan to deal with it?" Lan Qiyu looked at Ye Yan expectantly.

Although he, Lan Qiyu, sometimes has some unrealistic ideas, but he is still very self-aware of himself. He has neither the ability to govern the country nor military talent.

But he has a good place, that is, he is good at listening to other people's opinions.

But this is enough. Thinking about the previous life, the great emperor Liu Bang was either a commoner who didn't know a single word, or because he was good at employing people and listening to other people's opinions, so he conquered the world of big men.

Lan Qiyu didn't want to be a monarch, but he didn't want Nanli to suffer.

"I'm sorry, I really have no other way but to bet that Zheng Guo won't attack within three months." Ye Yan laughed.

"March? Recently, I have been receiving urgent reports from Yucheng. I am afraid that the attack will take less than half a month. According to my brother-in-law, I will attack Chuishui City within a month at most."

Ye Yan lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it. I will go to Zheng Guo to lobby. As long as we can win the peace of March, we will take the initiative to attack Zheng Guo."

"Wouldn't this be too benevolent?" Lan Qiyu said with some embarrassment.

"Soldiers never tire of deceit."

Lan Qiyu didn't speak anymore. Ever since Ye Yan revealed that he was his brother-in-law, he couldn't make decisions about many things. But he was happy with this. It was best not to worry about anything and let him be safe and sound. Just be a prince, wait for the eldest prince to take over, seal yourself a peace, and let yourself live happily.

It was because of Lan Qiyu's thoughts that the Nanli monarch had such a headache. Otherwise, the two sons would have a battle of wits and courage, and he would sit high in the temple and act as a referee to arbitrate their actions.

But the current situation is that the eldest prince, Lan Taiji, can only be established as the monarch, which leads to the fact that all the ministers, Lan Taiji, are very close, and his own orders are not easy to use.

Ye Yan continued to talk about some of his thoughts with the two, and they walked towards the City Lord's Mansion together.

Come to the place where Lan Quan is being held.

At this time, Lan Quan had returned to normal state, but Ye Yan imprisoned him here and was not allowed to go out, but there were a lot of books in this room, which didn't make Lan Quan bored to the point of collapse, not to mention Sui Wutian's frequent visits. Come in and deliver food to him, and chat with him at the same time.

Recently, Lan Quan has figured it out. Ye Yan will definitely not let him out, but he doesn't want his ideals to be shattered. There are countless tactics in his heart. And so they fell.

So every day when Sui Wutian came to deliver meals, Lan Quan would explain the art of war to him, and he didn't care whether he could understand it or how much he could learn.

Today, when Ye Yan came, it happened that Lan Quan was explaining the art of war to Sui Wutian. Ye Yan stood outside the door. At first, he was a little disdainful, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became. His body bent slightly to show his respect. I regret beating Lan Quan before.
boom!
The door opened, and Ye Yan appeared in front of the two of them.

The frightened Lanquan trembled all over his body, even with countless tactics in his heart, seeing this person still made people tremble constantly.

Just as Ye Yan was about to speak, Sui Wutian immediately knelt on the ground and begged Ye Yan not to torture Lan Quan any more.

Ye Yan was upset for a while, and said, "Fortunately, I'm not Cao Cao, otherwise you should leave today with your head."
