Chapter 115 Heading to Flame City (Second Change)
ps: Ho Ho, I want to collect it!
....................................

Huang Yun couldn't help but not pay attention!

From Lingyun City to the south to the imperial city of the Yanniu Kingdom, there were only two important cities.

There was a city called Tsing Yi City. Whether it was the defense, the guards in the city, or the strength of the troops, this city could not attract Huang Yun's attention.

It can be said that the flattening of Tsing Yi City can be done in one day and one night.

The only city that worries Huang Yun is Lieyan City, which is located between Lingyun City and Qingyi City.

In fact, it's not that Huang Yun doesn't know Yan Ming, it's just that Huang Yun doesn't want to mention anything else.At first, Yan Ming was just a commoner, but under Huang She's guidance, he rose through the ranks and earned the title of General Lieyan.

It can be said that no one dared to provoke him when he was in Huanghuang's vassal state, because his backer was Huang She, the entire Huanghuang's vassal state.However, Yan Ming is indeed very capable. His level of leading troops in combat is almost invincible in the territory of the Mangniu Kingdom.

Because of this, he was very popular in Huanghuang's vassal state at that time, and Huang She even planned to let Huang Yun include Yan Ming's most beloved granddaughter into his family and become the future imperial concubine.

However, under Yan Ming's opposition, Huang She had no choice but to give up, otherwise Huang Yun and Yan Ming would be a family.

Huang Yun still remembers Yan Ming's unruly look when he refused, and his dissatisfaction with Huang Yun's desire to marry his granddaughter.

However, these are not the reasons why Huang Yunji hates him. What Huang Yun hates the most is this old guy. In his later years, he began to be greedy for life and afraid of death.

At the beginning, the Yellow Emperor belonged to the country, so he still had a place in the face of Luan Xing's attack.

Even if Yundan rebelled against the enemy and opened a defensive hole, as long as Yan Ming, the Lieyan General at that time, led his troops to intervene in time and wipe out Yundan, the defensive front could be healed again.

Unexpectedly, facing Yundan's attack, Yanming chose to surrender without a fight, took the initiative to take refuge in Yundan, and took refuge in the second-level Luanxing Empire.And joined the ranks of exterminating the Yellow Emperor's vassal states.

After the secondary vassal kingdom of Luan Star left, they originally wanted to let Yan Ming go to Luan Star together. However, Yan Ming rejected Prince Luan Star's request on the grounds that he was old and weak and could not perform meritorious service for the prince, so he stayed in Luan Star. Cow belongs to the country.

At that time, Yan Ming's military strength had not suffered any losses, and he had deep trust from Prince Luan Xing. Therefore, after comprehensive judgment, Zhou Yanniu still gave him the title of General Lieyan, and at the same time changed the original Bamboo Leaf City to Lieyan City.He also promised Yan Ming's family that they would be the masters of Fiery City for generations to come.

"Your Majesty, although there are rebellions everywhere in the Mangniu Kingdom, no one dares to provoke them near Lieyan City, let alone make trouble. All this is because of General Lieyan's reputation and strength." Ma Zhong thought for a while, and analyzed He said: "The most important thing is that when His Majesty leads the army to go south, they have to pass through Raging Flame City. If you can't capture Raging Flame City, then it is impossible to enter the belly of the Mangniu Kingdom, let alone reach the imperial city."

"That's right." Huang Yun nodded, agreeing with his words, "Then based on Ma Aiqing's opinion, what do you think the ruler of the country should do?"

"Your Majesty, this minister is a person who knows the current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat when watching General Lie Yan." Ma Zhong looked at Huang Yun and said, "As long as Your Majesty forgets the past and gives a certain promise, I am willing to go to Lie Yan City in civilian clothes. My own three-inch tongue persuaded General Lie Yan to surrender."

"Are you going?" Huang Yun frowned and said, "You are the lord of a city appointed by the lord of our country. What you are going to do is how to make the people in Lingyun City eat well and wear warm clothes instead of worrying about it. These."

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about. If you don't have anything, you can go back and settle down." Huang Yun frowned and said.

"No." Ma Zhong shook his head helplessly, and then left the City Lord's Mansion.

After Ma Zhong left, Huang Yun's stomach wandered around the City Lord's Mansion.After a long time, Huang Yun stopped in his tracks and looked at the Shushan River where he was leisurely tasting tea: "From your point of view, what is the chance of success for Ma Zhong's words?"

"From my point of view, the Mangniu Kingdom is at its final moment and will be destroyed at any moment, and General Lie Yan most uses an elite army from the Mangniu Kingdom to station in Lieyan City, so General Lieyang Yanming must have plot." After making a detour, Shu Shanhe said, "I think he must be judging the situation, choosing the most promising force, and then taking refuge in the other party."

"So I guess that as long as the news of His Majesty's capture of Lingyun City is known to General Lieyan, then he will definitely re-evaluate His Majesty's strength and abilities." Shushanhe shook, and the list of people he had just persuaded to surrender said: "When the time comes , as long as your majesty grants amnesty to some people as he did just now, Yan Ming will definitely be able to surrender."

"Oh, you really think so?" At this time, Huang Yun had already made a calculation in his heart.

Huang Yun is not a short-sighted person. On the contrary, he is a very shrewd person. He knows how to use his own strengths and weaknesses appropriately, and knows how to make use of the actual situation or people at the time.

"Your Majesty, are you willing to let Lord Ma Zhong go to persuade Yan Ming to surrender?" Shu Shanhe said excitedly.

"No, Ma Zhong is in charge of Lingyun City's affairs, and he has a heavy responsibility." Huang Yun shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Shu Aiqing has a natural dexterity and infinite knowledge. Nothing better."

"Ah!" Shu Shanhe opened his mouth wide. He never dreamed that he would visit the general of the enemy country and serve as a diplomatic envoy.

You must know that in this era, people engaged in diplomacy, once they speak something wrong, they are very likely to be cut off mercilessly.

The enemy never cherishes the messenger's life.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen..."

Huang Yun interrupted Shu Shanhe's words and said with a serious face: "Since the Lord of the country has made a decision, you can't let you continue to quibble. Go back to me immediately to prepare. You will be one step ahead tomorrow morning, bringing gold and silver jewelry with you. Lieyan City persuades Yan Ming to surrender."

"but……"

"Could it be that you can't resist the edict?" Huang Yun stared.

"Don't dare, don't dare..." Shu Shanhe wiped the sweat from his forehead and then left the meeting hall.

After Shu Shanhe left, Huang Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled evilly for a while.Usually, Shu Shanhe looked unpredictable, as if he was a master of the outside world.

In fact, Huang Yun already hated his appearance, that's why Huang Yun wanted to scare him carefully for the first time.

If Huang Yun couldn't restrain him, how would he use it in the future?
That's why today's scene happened.

The next day, early morning!
Huang Yun took Shu Shanhe as the vanguard envoy, and led some infantry to deliver congratulatory gifts to the city of flames.

At noon, when the sun was high, Huang Yun led the follow-up troops to Raging Flame City at a speed of walking for three hours and resting for an hour.
