Chapter 614: The Road of Thorns (Part 2)
“No!”
Feng Zhang refused without a second thought.
"You've only been here for a few months? You probably don't even know where Longcheng is! How can you get there!?"
"I know." Ye Yunfeng replied very naturally.
"You——" Feng Zhang was stunned, half believing and half doubting, "How do you know?"
Ye Yunfeng thought, it’s hard to say because when he was at home before, he always liked to stare at the sand table for simulation.
He had indeed not been to Longcheng, but it was an important border town. Before leaving home, Ye Yunfeng had already passed through the northwest and southwest borders.
Although Xiacheng is located in the northwest, it is actually not very far from Longcheng. Especially from the perspective of topography, the terrain between the two places happens to be quite flat, which is convenient for marching.
——He had studied more than just the battle of Tongtian Pass. In fact, King Yannan and Shen Youyan were both famous generals whom he admired very much. He had also reviewed all the famous battles they had fought on the sand table.
Sister knew that he didn't like reading, but she never criticized him too much. It was because of this that he didn't read as many books as his third brother, but he didn't spend all that time playing. Instead, he did things that interested him.
With the map of Longcheng's defenses included in the envelope, he was indeed full of confidence.
"Three hundred people, no! One hundred people! As long as you allow me to lead the team as a vanguard, I promise that I will not let you down!"
Looking at the persistent and determined look of the young man in front of him, Feng Zhang couldn't say anything to refute for a moment.
Compared with the previous few months, the boy in front of him has undergone a complete transformation.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with indomitable courage and determination!
Feng Zhang hesitated.
“But you…”
Ye Yunfeng is only fourteen!
Those people thought he was sixteen, but only Feng Zhang knew that Ye Yunfeng was really still a teenager!
Ye Yunfeng saw his hesitation, looked him straight in the eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "My Lord, are you worried that I can't take on this important responsibility?"
Feng Zhang really couldn't say this.
Although Ye Yunfeng has been here for a short time, he has already demonstrated amazing combat talent.
Going into battle and killing the enemy, fighting wits and courage with the enemy on the battlefield, may take a long time for others to accept, but Ye Yunfeng doesn't need to do that at all.
He seems like a natural born soldier!
If this matter is handed over to him, Feng Zhang believes that he will never make any mistakes!
Feng Zhang was silent for a long time before he sighed, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this is a serious matter and I have to be cautious. If you are not careful..."
Nalong City has now become a den of dragons and tigers!
If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces!
It was precisely because Feng Zhang liked and valued this student he personally taught so much that he was unable to make up his mind!
Ye Yunfeng smiled suddenly.
"Sir, the day I followed you out of the capital, I knew that this was an extremely difficult road to walk. If I were really afraid of death, I wouldn't be standing in front of you at this moment."
Feng Zhang was shocked.
After a long moment, he suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of pride.
"Good! Good! You are worthy of being brought up by me! You are brave, boy!"
His eyes were full of hope, and he patted Ye Yunfeng's shoulder heavily with his rough and heavy hands, and his tone became serious.
"In that case, kid, I'll give you this chance! I'll assign a team to you, and you'll be in charge of it. You'll lead the way as the vanguard! I'll lead the main force behind, waiting for the right moment to strike!"
Ye Yunfeng's eyes lit up surprisingly and he immediately knelt on one knee.
"yes!"
Feng Zhang helped him up and said, "Longcheng must be on full alert. You must be very careful! Xiacheng also needs people. I can only send 3,000 soldiers at most."
His consideration was not unreasonable. Longcheng was in danger, so it was their duty to help, but they must not lose Xiacheng.
Three thousand was the maximum number of troops Feng Zhang could dispatch.
But this is enough for Ye Yunfeng.
Longcheng has been hiding the truth, probably because he has his own concerns.
And this is also the biggest breakthrough!
Ye Yunfeng took the order and turned to leave. "That man is still waiting for me outside the city. I will take a horse to send him there first, and then I will lead people to Longcheng secretly!"
"Wait a minute!" Feng Zhang suddenly called out to him.
Ye Yunfeng turned around and asked, "Does your Excellency have any other instructions?"
Feng Zhang shook his head, took off the sword at his waist and threw it over.
Ye Yunfeng subconsciously reached out to catch it, but when he felt the heavy weight in his hand, he realized something and looked surprised.
"Sir, this sword is not yours..."
"You are a new soldier. Although you have killed enemies and made contributions before, your experience is too shallow and you may not be able to command them." Feng Zhang smiled, "Take my sword! Let's see who will disobey!"
This means handing his power over to Ye Yunfeng.
Ye Yunfeng's heart was shaken and he gripped his sword tightly.
"Students...will never let down the teacher's trust!"
He turned and left, and the north wind blew up the corners of his clothes, making a rustling sound.
Feng Zhang looked at the young man's tall figure gradually going away with a look of emotion.
He hadn't seen such bravery and fearlessness, such youthful spirit for a long, long time...
It seems that bringing him to Xiacheng this time was indeed the right choice!
"You will eventually face the real battlefield, but this day has come much earlier than I thought..."
Feng Zhang murmured.
Those previous ones were just minor fights, and Ye Yunfeng had not actually experienced the cruelest side of war.
It is a danger, but also an opportunity.
Throughout history, countless famous generals have emerged from battles in the midst of swords and blood.
No one can bypass this path, because there is no shortcut to this choice.
However, Feng Zhang is still very optimistic about Ye Yunfeng.
"Maybe this kid can really give me a surprise?"
…
Capital city, Tianlao.
Crash——!
A basin of cold water was poured over him, and the biting cold was like a needle pricking him, instantly waking Gao Yi up.
He shuddered unconsciously, suddenly opened his eyes, looked around with rapid breathing, and his spirit was tense to the extreme.
A lazy voice came from the darkness.
"woke up?"
Gao Yi's heart skipped a beat and he immediately looked forward.
The light in the dim and cold cage was very poor, and he could only vaguely see a person standing in the darkness in front of him.
He couldn't see the other person's face clearly, and could only barely see the edge of the snow-white clothes.
Gao Yi had a vague idea of that man's identity.
“You, you…are…Chen Yanchuan?”
He still remembered that before he fainted, the people who attacked him were from the Black Cavalry Guards, so the person who appeared here at this time was most likely Shen Yanchuan himself!
"It seems that you have a clear mind."
Shen Yanchuan did not deny his guess, but admitted it directly, and there was even a hint of pleasure in his tone.
"That's good. It happens that I don't have much time. Just answer whatever I ask."
He spoke calmly.
"Who is the person who secretly instructed you to go to Qingzhou to stockpile grain?"
