Chapter 521: Secret Departure, Heading South Overnight

Gao Yanqing nodded and said, "Xiao Yuan, why did you come to see me today?"

Yuan Ce immediately stood up and saluted, "Teacher, now that the Yan army is besieging the city, the Kingdom of Yue may be destroyed at any time. Teacher, you hold a high position in the court, and you will definitely be the main target of the Yan army."

"I want to come to see the teacher while he is still alive, drink tea with him and reminisce about the past, so as to put a perfect end to our teacher-student relationship."

Gao Yanqing looked at Yuan Ce with a smile on his face, "Xiao Yuan, you have been an envoy to Yan State for three years. I thought you were here to persuade them to surrender!"

"Teacher, if the students really come to persuade you to surrender, will you surrender?"

"I don't know. I never answer hypothetical questions because they don't make any sense. Since you're here to have tea with me and reminisce about the past, let's not talk about state affairs today."

Yuan Ce nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about state affairs."

……

Five days later.

The Yan army camp outside Hegu City.

Lin Feng sat in the first seat, and below him sat Liu Song, the sword master of the Mirror and Jian Division, Song Dian, the general of the Tiger Guard, Qin Jingyun, the general of the Thousand Oxen Guard, Xu Hui, the Sima of Yuzhou, Li Ming, the general of the navy, and six lieutenant generals of the Heavenly Guard.

"Everyone, according to the latest intelligence from the Mirror and Mirror Bureau, the three armies that are going to support the king have sworn to march out two days ago. Judging from their current marching routes, they will meet in Chengzhou and then head north to rescue Hegu City."

"The three armies have a total of 150,000 people. This is the last army of Yue. As long as we successfully eliminate these 150,000 people, then there will only be one river valley city left."

"According to the marching speed of the three armies, they are expected to meet at Chengfengcheng, the capital of Chengzhou, this afternoon, then head north to Gaozhou, and finally reach Hegucheng."

"This southern campaign is extremely important to our Great Yan. I have decided that the Tiger Guards, the Thousand Bull Guards, and the Flying Sky Battalion will complete it, and the rest of the people will continue to besiege River Valley City."

The opportunity to make meritorious service finally came. Song Dian and Qin Jingyun were delighted and stood up and saluted. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I promise to complete the task."

Gong Yuan and Zhao Xin also stepped forward and bowed, "General, rest assured, the Feitian Battalion will not fail in your mission."

Lin Feng waved his hand with a smile on his face, "You don't need to promise, this Chengzhou battle will be commanded by me personally."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Feng nodded. "The army's march would make too much noise. In order to prevent the Vietnamese army in Hegu City from discovering our movements, I have decided to secretly march south at night."

"After the main army left, the troops to besiege Hegu City were insufficient. General Li, put aside the transportation of food and grass for the time being, and the 20,000 navy under your command will also join the siege."

Li Ming immediately stood up and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Feng immediately stood up and walked in front of Cheng Tianhu and the other three, patting their shoulders. "General Cheng, General Xue, General Gao, General Xiao, the mission of besieging Hegu City is very important. We must not make any mistakes, especially at night. We must be careful of the Yue army sneaking out of the city to attack."

Cheng Tianhu and the other three all clasped their hands together and said, "General, rest assured. Our musket battalion and artillery battalion will complete the mission and will not let a single Vietnamese soldier leave the city."

Lin Feng nodded, "Okay, today's military meeting ends here. General Song, General Qin, when you go back, let the soldiers go back to the barracks to rest. For the sake of confidentiality, we have to travel overnight."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Time flies, and a day is gone in the blink of an eye.

After nightfall, a total of 110,000 troops from the Huwei Guard, Qianniu Guard, and Feitian Battalion began to march secretly, heading south along the official road.

The battle of Chengzhou was fought unexpectedly, so the whereabouts of Yan Jun had to be kept strictly confidential. They marched quickly overnight and secretly bypassed all the cities of Gaozhou. In the early morning of the next day, the army began to enter the northern mountainous area of ​​Chengzhou.

"Xu..."

Gong Yuanyi rode a fast horse from the front of the army and quickly came to Lin Feng, clasped his hands and saluted, "Report to the general, I just asked the local people, and they said that this place is already in Chengzhou."

Lin Feng immediately stopped his horse and shouted loudly: "The army should stop advancing."

"General Song, immediately send out scouts to the front to scout out the enemy situation. Liu Zhangjian, immediately send a pigeon to contact the Jingjian Guards of Chengzhou and ask them to quickly report the whereabouts of the Yue army. General Qin, the soldiers have been traveling all night and are tired. Let them dismount and have a rest and eat something to recuperate."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "General Gong, General Zhao, the two of you follow me to the front to check the terrain and see if there is a place suitable for an ambush."

"Yes, General!"

Afterwards, Lin Feng and his party began to move forward under the escort of Bai Shan, observing the surrounding terrain with binoculars as they walked. However, they did not find any places particularly suitable for ambushes along the way.

Time passed little by little, and Lin Feng and his group soon left the mountains and came to a flat river valley.

Lin Feng raised the telescope in his hand and looked into the distance. He saw a small town ten miles away from the mountain. The town was not big, but there were high walls built around it.

"General, the town at the foot of the mountain should be the Huangjia Town marked on the map." Miyahara said.

"Brother Gong, do you know the specific situation of Huangjia Town?"

Gong Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, I don't know. You have to ask Liu Zhangjian."

Lin Feng nodded, "Let's go, let's go back."

"Yes!"

"Drive, drive, drive..."

Lin Feng and his group ran all the way and soon returned to the Yan army camp. As soon as they dismounted their horses, Liu Song, Song Dian and Qin Jingyun came forward to meet them.

"Your Majesty, we have already figured out the situation of the Vietnamese army. The three armies gathered in Chengfeng City at 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon. However, they did not head north immediately. Instead, they chose to stay in Chengfeng City overnight. They set out from Chengfeng City early this morning and are expected to enter the northern mountainous area of ​​Chengzhou around 3 p.m. this afternoon."

Lin Feng nodded, "Liu Zhangjian, there is a Huangjia Town in the northern mountainous area of ​​Chengzhou. It's a small town with high city walls. Do you know its details?"

Liu Song quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I don't know much about Huangjia Town. I only know that Huangjia Town is the headquarters of the Huang's Chamber of Commerce. Since Huangjia Town is located in the mountains, a high wall was built to prevent bandits from entering the town to rob."

"How strong is the Huang's Chamber of Commerce?"

"It's quite strong and can be considered a large chamber of commerce in Yue State."

"Then why doesn't the Huang's Chamber of Commerce move their headquarters to Hegu City or Chengfeng City?"

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the founder of the Huang's Chamber of Commerce, Huang Youfu, is from Huangjiazhuang, which is now Huangjia Town."

"Huang Youfu was a man who was particularly nostalgic. Before he died, he left behind a family motto that the headquarters of the Huang's Chamber of Commerce could only be located in Huangjia Village. The descendants of the Huang family did not dare to violate the ancestral motto, so they built Huangjia Town in the mountains."
