The army of Yan State approached Yangcheng very smoothly. Now the main force of the entire Lingyun State has been basically wiped out, and the remaining ones are just some remnants and defeated generals with no strength.

When we walked into Guangzhou, the gates of the entire city were already open. The king of Guangzhou was bowing at the door, and then the prepared orchestra began to play music. This was considered the highest etiquette in the entire Central Plains region.

"Welcome the Yan Kingdom's Heavenly Soldiers into the city!"

The King of Yangcheng spoke loudly, and the soldiers and ministers behind him also bowed and saluted.

At this time, Yangcheng had already learned about the news of Yan State from the deserters who fled the war. Naturally, they were very sensible and did not do anything weird.

"Enter the city."

Duan Tianming waved his hand. At this time, the Yan Kingdom’s army had been marching for several days after a battle and needed to rest.

The soldiers of Yan State who entered the city frightened the people. They had not yet recovered from the shadow of Lingyun State’s army entering the city a few days ago. Now they saw the soldiers of Yan State entering the city again, and they were naturally very scared.

The armies in the feudal era were basically not kind people. Every time they entered a city, they would take whatever they should. In serious cases, they would even massacre the city. In today's era, this spontaneously formed habit is naturally retained in most countries.

But Yan State obviously would not do so. According to Duan Tianming's guidance of their thoughts, the army came here mainly to liberate the people here, and they would naturally not burn, kill or loot.

"Auntie, please don't go. How are you selling these buns?"

A soldier from the Yan State's Xianzhen Camp who had entered the city was feeling a bit amused and helpless as he watched the old lady hurriedly packing up her things to go back to her house.

"Ah, Junye, if you like it, this bun is for you."

The old lady was very scared, but she still forced herself to smile.

"No, I'll just calculate it based on the prices in Yan Country. These two baskets of buns are only 2 Yan coins."

As he spoke, the soldier took out two relatively clear coins forged from copper. These were the Yan coins that Duan Tianming promoted in Yan State and even the entire Central Plains. After a long period of trade, the Yan coins were now basically popularized throughout Luonan, and had a considerable influence in the surrounding areas. The old lady naturally recognized them.

"Ah! Too many!"

The old lady was a little surprised. These two Yan coins could buy all the buns she had today, but today she only wanted two baskets of buns.

"It's okay, Auntie. We Yan Country soldiers won't take advantage of you."

The soldier hurriedly stuffed the money into the old lady's hand, picked up the two baskets of buns and left.

"As expected of Yan Nation! When will we have an army like this?"

The old lady sighed as she watched the Yan soldiers leaving. The scene of Lingyun Kingdom entering the city a few days ago was still vivid in her mind, and her body trembled every time she thought of it.

Such actions, with the help of newspaper storytellers, quickly spread the image of Yan State soldiers. In order to maintain such an image, these newly joined soldiers will naturally pay attention to their words and deeds. This is a virtuous circle guaranteed by material foundation.

During the long-term training, the ideological education of the soldiers has long been deeply rooted in their hearts. The soldiers are the army of Yan State, the army that protects the people of Yan State, and the army that is loyal to Duan Tianming. This is an indisputable fact that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After a day of rest in Yangcheng, the Yan army quickly marched towards the capital of Lingyun. Now they still have to seize the time and not let the surrounding countries react.

The entire Central Plains region became extremely peaceful, and the entire battlefield fell into a balance. The Yan State army that returned to support Shangyang City had already settled these prisoners, and relevant supplies were sent to Shangyang City in large quantities. The internal cleansing and condensation had also been very complete. In addition, with the supervision of the surrounding soldiers, these prisoners were also appeased.

·····

On March 18, the third year of the Divine Realm, the news that the Yan army was approaching Lingyun Sect and the main force of Lingyun was defeated had spread throughout the Central Plains. At this time, a week had passed since the Battle of the Flower Sea. During this week, the riders throughout the Central Plains were traveling frantically, and all kinds of shocking news reached the ears of various countries.

"We lost just like that!"

In the main hall of Lingyun Sect, the Great Elder was kneeling before the Sect Master.

"One day! Even if we kill 20,000 pigs, we still can't finish them in one day. You said that all the elite troops of Lingyun Kingdom were defeated!"

The clan leader was extremely angry, which shook the foundation of the entire Lingyun Kingdom. They had already suffered two defeats in the direction of Yangcheng, and now their elite soldiers were basically defeated.

"Master, we need to consider how to defend ourselves now. The news just arrived is that the Yan Nation's army has seized our victory and captured Xiling City, our great city to the west. They are now threatening our sect."

An elder said hurriedly.

Now is not the time to get angry. The key is how to overcome this crisis.

“What do neighboring countries say about their reactions?”

The sect leader rubbed his temples. He felt a little dizzy now.

"Neighboring countries say they will go and put pressure on others, but no country will sit idly by and watch a great power rise."

The second elder hurriedly said that this was the only good news at the moment.

“Oh no!~”

The patriarch sighed and continued:

"The recruited soldiers and all the sect disciples have now gathered at Lingyun Sect. Reinforcements from other surrounding sects have also arrived. We should have no problem holding out for a few days."

The leader of Lingyun Sect now has a very clear mind. He knows very well that these combat forces are simply not capable of fighting against elite soldiers. The so-called immortals who have not broken through the fourth level are just serving as food if they are placed in the army. Now they can only wait and see whether the pressure from neighboring countries can help Lingyun Country temporarily alleviate the crisis.

"Let's get ready!"

"yes!"

·····

The Wei army moved first, and the surrounding countries also transferred their troops to the border with Yan. This was an obvious pressure.

"Should we take the initiative?"

In the military tent, thousands of Yan State troops had already arrived at the foot of Lingyun Mountain where Lingyun Sect was located.

"I think that if we can arrange for the 3,000 Danyang troops we have sent back to support the Wei Kingdom, which is preparing to besiege Jincheng, with the well-trained and armed Yan Kingdom troops, we can basically win the battle in one go. And we just need to focus on attacking Lingyun Sect, and then we can achieve the greatest victory in this war."

Luo Wu pointed at the map and analyzed.

"Indeed, Li Fei has already gone back to provide support. As long as we make some arrangements, there will be basically no problems."

Duan Tianming nodded in agreement.

Seconding

The generals in the military camp obviously also supported fighting on two fronts.

After several great victories, the army of Yan State is now very energetic from top to bottom, giving people an overall feeling of being calm no matter what the situation.

This is not a bad thing. This is the wonderful change that Duan Tianming wants to see.
