"Your Highness!" Ji Guangda rode his horse to Shen Yong's side, leaned over and whispered in Shen Yong's ear.
"The spies discovered a large number of soldiers on a small road about 10 kilometers away. They should be the capital's troops."
Shen Yong raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of the path.
Tsk!
I didn't realize that Yi Zhengjin is so proactive.
Calculating the time, Yi Zheng Jin Gang returned to the capital and tried to get Emperor Tianwu to agree to let him lead his troops out of the city.
Yes, Yi Zhengjin is still a useful person.
At least it can be used at critical moments.
"Don't worry about it."
Chen Yong twitched the corner of his lips and said, "Speed up and head to the capital."
Ji Guangda looked at Chen Yong's expression, his eyes lit up, and he understood immediately.
"yes!"
The capital's army had left the imperial city, which was indeed a good thing for their siege.
He was a little worried that these people would surround them from behind.
But seeing Shen Yong's calm look, he guessed that perhaps the person leading the troops had some relationship with Shen Yong.
He just said it.
Every time King Qianhuang wanted to capture a city, he would make some arrangements in advance.
It doesn't make sense that such an important matter as attacking the capital should not be deployed.
I guess King Qianhuang went out of the city alone that day to arrange this matter.
The Shen family has been entrenched in the capital for so many years, so they must have some connections.
At a command, the Golden Armored Army, which had just finished lunch, accelerated and set off again.
The soldiers from the capital on the path over there listened to the rumbling of horse hooves coming from afar, saw the ground shaking slightly, and sat on the ground without daring to move.
The loud sound of horse hooves made the deputy generals look confused.
"Commander-in-chief." One of the deputy generals felt a pang in his heart and blinked his eyes as he looked at Yi Zhengjin.
"There's something wrong with the sound of horse hooves."
Judging from the sound of horse hooves, there are at least tens of thousands of cavalrymen.
But General Fan only led 50,000 soldiers with him, and only 1,000 cavalrymen.
Because of the famine, many horses died in the capital.
The horses assigned to General Fan were not very fat and strong, but were of below average quality.
How could such a weak horse produce such intense hoof sounds while running?
Based on his years of experience, these horses are definitely top-notch horses.
The other stunned deputy generals all looked at Yi Zhengjin.
Of course they also heard that there was something wrong with the sound of horse hooves.
Yi Zhengjin's mouth twitched twice, and he rolled his eyes at his lieutenants.
"Just by listening to the sound of horse hooves, I knew how critical General Fan's condition was."
"No need to think, these horses must have been loaned to General Fan by people from Danyun City and Menglan City."
"Ah, it's not easy to save General Fan's life."
Ahhhh!
What does Shen Yong want to do?
With such a big fuss going on, he didn't know how to fool people anymore.
He just didn't believe that the mediocre people didn't notice them.
Since they have discovered each other, can't they just walk over quietly?
Just by listening to the intense sound of horse hooves, you can tell that the horse is very strong.
Yi Zhengjin's eyes fell on his mount.
Looking at the horse's skinny and exposed body, he sighed silently.
The deputy generals followed Yi Zhengjin's gaze and looked at the horses on the side of the road, and their heads all drooped.
Comparing people will make you angry, and comparing horses will make you tired.
The sound of other people's horses' hooves galloping was so pleasant to the ear, while their horses were so tired that foam was drooping at the corners of their mouths, and their grunts were a little hoarse.
The deputy licked his cracked lips and suggested,
"Commander, when we arrive in Danyun City, leave these horses there and let Danyun City take care of them for a while."
"It's not convenient to bring horses with you to the mountains."
The fact that Danyun City can raise horses so well shows that Danyun City has obtained sufficient fodder from the south.
These local officials are really clueless.
There is so much fodder, but why don’t you transport some to the capital?
Haven’t you seen that the horses in the capital are all skinny and bony?
Yi Zhengjin raised his eyelids and glanced at the deputy general, then said, "Hmm."
"Let's talk about it when we get to Danyun City."
Shen Yong suddenly sped up. He estimated that he didn't even need to go to Menglan City.
Looking at the soldiers whose faces were pale from hunger, he wanted to take them to the gate of Menglan City to get some relief porridge.
When he thought of 150,000 soldiers rushing to the city gate to get porridge, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
This scene...
I guess he won’t even be able to drink the porridge and will even be beaten.
Yi Zhengjin sighed, listened to the sound of horse hooves getting farther and farther away, stood up and patted his butt.
"Let's go!"
This place is still a little too close to the capital, let’s walk a little further.
.......
Dreamland City....
Ning Zhifu frowned, put his ear to the cell wall, and listened carefully to the noise outside.
"Have all the soldiers in the city left?"
Five days ago, there was a rumbling sound in the city that lasted for the whole morning.
He was so scared that he couldn't figure out what caused the noise.
When he asked the jailer, he just rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Four days ago in the morning, the sound of war drums rang out in the city.
Then there was a burst of intense horse hooves.
He guessed that Shen Yong had led his troops to attack the capital.
It had only been three or four days since he captured Menglan City, but he was already impatient to attack the capital. It was simply wishful thinking for such a person to dream of sitting on the throne.
He just doesn't like mediocre people.
How can we attack without making proper arrangements?
