The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 155

The guards of Polangguan quickly gave up their resistance and got together under the drive of Hengshan Army.

Lin Yifan brought the captured lieutenant into the meeting room and asked about the situation in Weiyuan County in detail.Only then did I know that the county city was already in jeopardy under the offensive of the rebels.And Xu Shifan's troops have already suffered more than half of the casualties, and they are simply unable to support the county.

"My lord, now that Polang Pass has fallen into your hands, please send troops as soon as possible to rescue the siege of the county." The school lieutenant cried bitterly after finishing speaking, begging.

Lin Yifan quietly digested the information just now, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes, the situation seems to have changed!
Ten days ago, when Mr. Liu sent someone to rush Xu Shifan's rescue letter to Xiayang camp, he was already preparing for his wedding, and he would return to Hengshan in a few days to make arrangements for the wedding.I don't want to, but at this time, I received the news that Weiyuan County was attacked by Anzhou rebels, and Xu Shifan's letter pleading for blood.

The matter was so important that Lin Yifan didn't dare to preside over it, so he hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss it.The result of the discussion was that Weiyuan County had to be rescued. For one thing, Hengshan is still Hengshan of the imperial court. At least for now, Hengshan still needs the tiger skin of the imperial court to cover up. Sending troops to help can at least give the imperial court a good impression; Secondly, if the Anzhou rebels take down Weiyuan County, their strength will increase greatly. At that time, Hengshan will not be able to stand alone.Therefore, due to emotion and reason, Hengshan must send troops.

However, everyone also believed that it was okay to send troops, but not in vain.What Xu Shifan said about opening the Polang Pass and allowing Hengshan to communicate is not enough for Hengshan.It would be safer to directly control Polangguan because of the fear that the court would repent or other changes would occur afterwards.As for whether Xu Shifan will give it or not, hehe, now that he can't protect himself, can he still care about breaking the wolf pass?Even if he doesn't give it, Hengshan must take it regardless of the cost. At least, if Weiyuan County is captured by the rebels, then Hengshan can rely on Polang Pass to stop the rebels from going north.

Therefore, Lin Yifan immediately ordered to mobilize a group of elite soldiers from various armies to form an army of 5000 men; he also mobilized [-] horses from the pasture, and personally led this army, using horses instead of walking, to rush south quickly to help.After nearly eight days of long-distance running, I arrived in Hengshan County.Then after resting in Hengshan County for one night, he appeared in front of Polang Pass.

Now, after Lin Yifan obtained new information, he had to re-evaluate the current situation and what to do to maximize Hengshan's interests.Previously, capturing Polang Pass was considered Hengshan's greatest benefit, but now, it is not necessarily the case. From the news just now, Lin Yifan learned the latest information about the rebel army and Weiyuan County garrison.It seems that the rebels and the defenders have already been beaten to death, with heavy casualties. Now that Hengshan is added, isn't it just like the saying that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit?Perhaps, Hengshan can plan more benefits for himself.

Looking at the captain who was kneeling on the ground and begging, Lin Yifan kindly helped him up, and said righteously: "We are all soldiers of the empire, and we should fight against the enemy and wipe out the rebels; what's more, we should help the country and save the common people. , It is also the righteousness that we soldiers should have. Don't worry, I will immediately order the army to go south to help Master Xu defeat the enemy."

"My lord, Gao Yi, thank you, Lord Lin!" The captain twitched his lips, cursing inwardly, you used despicable means to snatch the Polang Pass, but now you are acting like you are serving the country and the people. Extremely shameless.However, due to the dominance of the Hengshan Army, he had no choice but to express his gratitude with a grateful expression.

"Well, you don't need to be polite, you should also pack up and go south with me to meet Mr. Xu." Lin Yifan laughed.

"Ah?" The captain was taken aback, looked at him helplessly, and said with a sad face, "My lord, the last general was ordered to garrison Polang Pass, this, this..."

"It's okay, I've already taken this test. If you go south with me, I will tell Mr. Xu about it. You don't need to worry." Lin Yifan waved his hand, not taking it seriously.

Is it okay?The school lieutenant roared in his heart, if he let the adults know that he handed over the Polang Pass to the Hengshan Army, he would probably cut himself down with a single knife.But seeing Master Lin looking at him indifferently, with a cold light in his eyes.He swallowed involuntarily, and the thousands of complaints finally turned into one sentence, "The general will obey."

After resting in Polang Pass for a few hours, Lin Yifan led the Hengshan Army and more than [-] garrisons into the Pass to the south, leaving a team of soldiers and horses in the pass to guard the closed gate, waiting for the new garrison dispatched by Hengshan to take over the pass.

Along the way, the army slowly went south, and at the same time, many scouts went south to investigate the situation of the county.Five thousand mounted infantry accompanied the Polangguan garrison on foot, marching at a very slow pace. For this reason, the captain asked Hengshan more than once to bring out some of the extra horses for them to travel, so that they could reach the county town as quickly as possible.But Lin Yifan disagreed. It was a joke. These horses are precious resources. They not only carry a large amount of food and grass, but can also be used as transfer horses when necessary.Because of this, it was possible for the Hengshan infantry to cross five or six hundred miles to enter the Polang Pass in just ten days.What's more, at this time, the county city is still fighting fiercely, and the two sides still have the strength to fight. If I rush over there in such a hurry, wouldn't I be asking for trouble and falling into the quagmire of war?
Therefore, Lin Yifan ordered to march thirty miles a day, and set up camp.At the same time, someone was sent to notify Xu Shifan of his arrival and let him try his best to hold on.At the same time, through Xu Shifan's mouth, he told the people in the county that Hengshan came to help, so they must hold on.Then, the two sides continued to fight until they were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.

Sure enough, a few days after Lin Yifan notified Xu Shifan, the morale of the precarious county was restored in an instant.

In front of the big tent, Li Yuan was leaning on crutches, with a sickly face, looking at the top of the city with red eyes, coughing unceasingly, with a look of doubt on his pale face, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, could it be that their reinforcements are here?" But where are the reinforcements coming from?"

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, Li Yuan thought for a while and then ordered to send scouts nearby to investigate whether there were reinforcements ambushing them.

Finally, after capturing several garrison soldiers for interrogation, Li Yuan learned that there was another force called the Hengshan Army in the north.But for this Hengshan Army, these soldiers also know very little about it. They have no way of knowing the details of the opponent and the strength of their troops.And as far as he knows, there are still some bits and pieces of information he heard from the Golden Werewolf. It seems that the Golden Werewolf suffered a lot from Hengshan; After the bandits were suppressed, there was no more news. Could it be that all this has something to do with the Hengshan Army?

Li Yuan thought about it and didn't dare to make a conclusion easily. However, since they dared to come to rescue, their power must not be too weak.Now both the enemy and us have been battered and exhausted.At this time, a mysterious reinforcement appeared, which immediately gave him a strong sense of crisis.Now that the battle has failed and there is another powerful enemy, what should be the next step?
Li Yuan felt physically and mentally exhausted when he thought that the current battle was so stalemate and unable to win.I couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in my heart. Could it be that this battle is doomed to fail?
No, I can't retreat. If I retreat, I and the whole family will be lost forever.Li Yuan roared in his heart, but at the same time he was also afraid that the county must be taken down, regardless of the cost. Only when the county is taken down, can he have the capital to negotiate with the other party.He believed that the Hengshan Army formed its own system and had long been separated from the imperial court, and now it was just a tiger's skin disguised by the imperial court.Since he is not loyal to the court, he will have his own demands and interests.In the final analysis, in fact, it is just a person along the way with myself.

That being the case, there is still room for discussion. Presumably they don't want to, so they will tear themselves apart with the court soon, right?Then, it is necessary for my own side to survive. As long as I exist, I can block the direct contact between the imperial court and them, so as to support the bandits and make the imperial court have to hold their noses to admit their existence.Haha, in that case, I still have a chance.Li Yuan was ecstatic in his heart, and then, his expression froze. The premise of all this is to win the Weiyuan County, and then he is eligible to negotiate.otherwise. . . .

"Order the whole army, at sunset today, the city must be broken, otherwise, come and see me!"
