The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 262

Just as Hengshan was preparing for the upcoming war, the expected messenger finally arrived.

This time it was Ye Hongyu from the Li family's faction who came here, and now Li Yuan relies heavily on this think tank in order to seize Huazhou.With Ye Hongyu's assistance, the Li family's forces are gaining more and more advantage in the attack on Jishan Pass. If there is no accident, Jishan Pass will be broken in a month or two.

But unfortunately, when the news of the imperial court's upcoming Northern Expedition came, Li Yuan's ambition to take over Huazhou was declared bankrupt.In order to resist the attack of the imperial army, he had to withdraw the army gathered at Jishan Pass and build a defense line on the southern border.At the same time, he tried his best to recruit young and strong into the army, hoping to increase his strength in a short time.

Li Yuan, who took advantage of the chaos when the Golden Werewolves invaded the south, knew that his own strength was no match for the imperial army.Among the heroes of Anzhou, the strength is only for the powerful forces, only their own Li family and Hengshan, and the rest of the forces are not worth mentioning.What worries him the most is that his own forces are in the south of Anzhou, adjacent to Huazhou, facing the front of the imperial army.If Hengshan didn't have a view of the big picture and chose to sit on the sidelines, then his family was doomed to be wiped out under the powerful offensive of the imperial army.Therefore, Li Yuan had no choice but to send people to lobby, hoping to unite with Hengshan to jointly deal with the threat of the imperial court.

After nearly ten days of running around, Ye Hongyu finally entered the Xiazhou Grassland and was rushing to Xiayang City.Along the way, he was very surprised by everything in Hengshan.The road along the way stretched straight and wide into the distance. Caravans and pedestrians rode on horseback. They were busy and cheerful, and there was no sign of despair and fear before the war.On both sides of the road, there are endless wheat fields, and the golden waves of wheat are surging with the wind, just like the waves of the blue sea.

Seeing this scene, everyone around Ye Hongyu was stunned. There was no dilapidated scene after the war, but it was as stable and prosperous as a paradise.Hengshan has such a large-scale wheat field, I am afraid that there will be no fear of famine in the coming year.I heard the description of the people who returned from Hengshan before, and thought it was an exaggeration to incite the hearts of the people.I don't want this kiss to be even more exaggerated than the rumors.Compared with the dilapidated image under his own rule, he couldn't help but blushed slightly, feeling ashamed.

"My lord, this Hengshan Mountain is actually so rich. I never thought that the previous rumors are true. You can see wheat fields everywhere. They, how did they do it?" The entourage at the side showed envy and doubts. He looked at Ye Hongyu and asked.

"Hmph! If this Hengshan hadn't been lucky enough to get supplies from the Golden Werewolves, how could they have the leisure to reclaim the land? Even so, when my uncle captures Huazhou, the mere Hengshan is nothing to worry about." At this moment, a The young man in his 20s glanced sideways at each other and snorted coldly.

"Mr. Li Duan's words are reasonable. Hengshan has indeed been able to survive today with the resources of the Golden Werewolf." Ye Hongyu smiled lightly, complimented him, and continued, "However, Lin Yifan, the lord of Hengshan, is also amazing. Under the current situation, don’t be in a hurry, be content with dormancy, concentrate on developing people’s livelihood, and lay a solid foundation. Just imagine, everyone, we have been walking along the way, and what we see is the well-being of the people, the busy business travel, the continuous arable land, the prosperity of all industries, and the convenient transportation Waiting for the scene, all these scenarios are enough to make Hengshan stable and prosperous inside, with a solid foundation. If it can survive the danger of the imperial court's Northern Expedition, Hengshan is bound to soar into the sky. Therefore, we must do our best to help the Lord seize Huazhou as soon as possible. Relying on Huazhou's population wealth and fortified cities and dangerous passes, we can block Hengshan's soldiers."

"Sir, are you serious?" Li Duan was quite dissatisfied, and said proudly, "My Li family has now recruited tens of thousands of young men. As long as they are trained, there will be tens of thousands of troops in their hands. Hengshan only has [-] soldiers and horses. How dare you Come to attack my Li family?"

"Hehe, my lord, there is a saying in the art of war. Soldiers are expensive and elite, not many. Moreover, I don't believe that Hengshan only has [-] soldiers and horses." Ye Hongyu smiled slightly and patiently explained, "Hengshan's greatest advantage lies in cavalry. Even if there are only [-] troops, if they are all cavalry, they will be more than enough to fight against us. My son, I can vividly remember the day when Hengshan's army was in danger, the strength of Hengshan must not be underestimated."

After hearing Ye Hongyu's words, Li Duan couldn't help being startled, and then he remembered the power and power of the fifty thousand cavalry soldiers when they approached the city that day, and he was terrified at that time.But now that the words have been uttered, it is natural that they cannot be taken back, so they can only snort angrily, "It was just a trick that day, and they took advantage of the emptiness. If our army spreads out the formation, we will surely win the battle."

Ye Hongyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing in his heart. The lord's nephews and nephews are all mediocre people, and they really have no power to succeed.

After a few more days, everyone finally came to Xiayang City.At this time, Lin Yifan had been notified earlier that he knew that Ye Hongyu was coming, so he came to the gate of the city to greet everyone.

"Haha, sir, are you all right?" Lin Yifan walked forward enthusiastically, clasped his hands and said with a smile.

"It's a great honor for Ye to have Master Lau Lin in his arms." Ye Hongyu quickly replied, "I was amazed by what I saw on the way this time. I didn't expect that His Excellency has so many talents under his command that he manages Hengshan in an orderly manner, just like a paradise. Ye I really admire him."

"Where is it, sir, you are overwhelmed." Lin Yifan said modestly with a smile, "Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Han Song, the Prime Minister of Hengshan, Mr. Han."

"I have admired Mr. Ye's name for a long time. It is really a pleasure to meet you today." Han Song's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward and smiled.

Ye Hongyu sized up the second person in Hengshan, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that Mr. Han is Mr. Han Song, the former doctor of the court's official department?"

"Oh? You recognize me?" Han Song looked at him in surprise.

"Hehe, Ye is just a commoner, so I don't know your lord. It's just that I stayed in the capital before and heard about your lord's feats, so I remembered it." Ye Hongyu said with a smile, "My lord's generous speech last year caused a sensation in the capital. Numerous scholars all praise you for your integrity and integrity. Even I, my blood boiled with enthusiasm at that time, and I deeply believed it. I don’t want you to have been reviled by the court, which shows how stupid the court is, which makes people indignant.”

"Mr. Ye's reputation is too high, alas." Han Song couldn't help feeling sad and sighing when the past was brought up.

Lin Yifan was very embarrassed to see it. He didn't expect Mr. Ye to become friendly with Han Song as soon as they met, which immediately aroused his sympathy, which is really amazing.Hastily staggered the topic and introduced other people to him.

After being introduced one by one, everyone went to the government office together, where there was a reception banquet to cleanse them up.

After eating and drinking enough, Ye Hongyu couldn't wait to explain the purpose of coming, hoping to have a meeting as soon as possible to discuss the union of the two.

"Lord Lin, the imperial army is pressing down on the country. Both you and I are in danger of overthrowing the nest. We must weigh the importance, and I hope you think twice." At the end, Ye Hongyu looked directly at him and said earnestly.

After listening to the other party's lobbying, Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "I heard that Patriarch Li has been recruiting troops these days, and his strength has expanded to more than [-]. Could it be that this strength can't stop the imperial court's advance?"

Ye Hongyu smiled wryly, "Master Lin, why bother to be sarcastic. Although our army is numerous and powerful, it is not as good as the imperial court's elite in all battles. My lord's expansion of troops is just to be able to resist the attack of the imperial court army as much as possible. If the two of us If the family cannot be united, the imperial army will definitely invade the territory of Anzhou. If my Li family dies, how can you survive alone, my lord?"

"Mr.'s words are wrong. I, Hengshan, are by no means unable to resist the imperial court." Han Song chuckled, and said slowly, "Only relying on the Polang Pass, we can block the imperial army to the south of the Polang Pass. At worst, we will give up our prestige Yuan County is."
