The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 293 Allied Forces Converged Under the City

Lin Yifan was not idle that night, at this time he was reading the information Zheng Han sent from Heishui City.

It turned out that after Lin Yifan led the army southward, Zheng Han personally rushed to Heishui City to sit in town and monitor the movements of the Dingxi Army.

After Murong Jing's Northern Expedition, there was a change.Not only did the envoys sent by Hengshan stationed in Dingxi City be imprisoned and monitored, but the heavy troops deployed in Beishan County and Qingshan County also moved frequently.However, the current situation is fairly stable, and it seems that the Dingxi Army has not made up its mind to start a war with the Hengshan Army.According to Zheng Han's guess, the Dingxi army should be waiting for further movements of the imperial army.As long as the imperial army's Northern Expedition goes smoothly, the Dingxi Army will come out in full force to attack Weiyuan County and Hengshan.

However, seeing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help smiling. The Dingxi Army must have never imagined that the imperial army was completely defeated at this time, losing more than half of it. Whether they can save part of their strength depends on their own mood.If we let them know the current situation, I'm afraid they will retreat to Shazhou in fright, and even send someone to apologize, right?However, you Dingxi Army prepared to take advantage of the fire and loot me when I was in the most critical situation in Hengshan, how could this matter be left alone?If you don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid you won't be in awe of Hengshan.

There is good news, but there is also bad news. As the Dingxi army showed its malice towards Hengshan, the business line between Hengshan and Shazhou was immediately interrupted.Jin Jiuyuan had to rely on his contacts in Shazhou to maintain the circulation of business channels intermittently through smuggling.In this regard, Jin Jiuyuan couldn't help urging Lin Yifan to end the war as soon as possible, and through military pressure, forced the Dingxi Army to reopen the Shazhou trade channel.

After reading the letter, Lin Yifan's complexion became gloomy, and he immediately picked up his pen and replied to Zheng Han about the situation here, asking him to keep on guard and not let the Dingxi Army take advantage of the loopholes.As for business matters, Lin Yifan had no other choice but to wait until the war was over before making any calculations.

After finishing the letter, Lin Yifan picked up another letter, which was a letter from Xiayang City.

In Luo Qing'er's letter, besides introducing the situation in various parts of Xiazhou, it made him feel at ease.The rest of the content used a lot of space to describe some of her usual trivial matters during this period of time, as well as the growth of the child in her belly.After reading the letter from home, Lin Yifan carefully folded the letter, and all the fatigue of the past few days was wiped away.Now he just wants to wipe out the enemy army as soon as possible, and then return to Hengshan, where he has his wife and unborn child.

"Qing'er, don't worry, I'll be back soon, soon!" Putting the letter in his arms, Lin Yifan murmured.

Two days later, Li Yuan led 5000 troops from Jing'an City to this place, and not long after, [-] Li Family Army and [-] Hengshan Army from Pingyuan County also arrived.

Four days later, the Li family's army from Hexi County and Huaiyuan County, a total of 10 soldiers and horses, finally arrived.Today, the total number of troops gathered under the city exceeds 7, of which more than 3 are the Li Family Army, and less than [-] are the Hengshan Army.

Under the county seat, in the big army camp, Li Yuan was full of joy, and held a banquet in the big tent, preparing to wish the great cause of the siege and wipe out the imperial army.In his opinion, this time the imperial army has become a turtle in a urn. As long as it is surrounded, it will not take long for the enemy army to win without fighting because of the lack of food.At that time, the crisis of the Northern Expedition will be resolved, and the Li family will officially take over Huazhou to expand their power.

"Come, come, everyone!" Li Yuan's face was flushed and he was full of energy, not like an old man in his sixties. "Now the imperial army is besieged here by us, and the death period is not far away. When the enemy army is completely wiped out, everyone will be rewarded heavily."

"My subordinates are waiting to thank you, my lord!" All the generals were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately raised their wine glasses and shouted in unison.

After drinking, Li Yuan was about to encourage everyone again, but Ye Hongyu who was beside him suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, there are still nearly [-] enemy troops in the city, and they definitely won't just sit and wait for death. My lord Wanwang should be more vigilant and not be underestimated. This subordinate has been inspecting the camp for the past few days, and found that many soldiers are lax and lazy, and have no sense of urgency in front of the enemy. This subordinate is deeply worried about this, and I ask my lord to supervise it more."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's face darkened immediately, and he looked at him dissatisfied, "Sir, you are worrying too much. Now that the imperial army is sitting in a sad city, how can they have the morale and combat power to dare to fight our army. What's more, the Hengshan Army cavalry is right beside you. How dare they go out of the city. Even if they dare to go out of the city, our army of [-] people gathered here, can't they beat this group of bereaved dogs?"

"My lord is wise, Mr. Ye, our soldiers have traveled day and night to come here, can't we even take a rest?" A general shouted angrily at Ye Hongyu.

"That's right. Our army also has one hundred thousand troops here, and its strength is not inferior to that of the imperial army. Even if they dare to go out of the city, they are not our opponents. Mr. Ye is really too cowardly and cowardly?"

"Hmph, what I'm waiting for is for them to come out. When the time comes, I'll be able to kill them in one fell swoop and completely annihilate the enemy army. I don't have to waste time waiting for them to surrender." . . . .

Everyone spoke at the same time, pointing their fingers at Ye Hongyu.

Li Yuan was also quite upset in his heart, secretly blaming him for not winking, didn't he see that he was comforting and motivating the generals?You are fine, but you stand up and accuse the generals of not being strict with the army. Doesn't this make them unhappy? "Sir, if you don't understand this military matter, don't criticize it casually. The generals are all good generals, how can you not know? You have offended the generals because of your slip of the tongue, why don't you apologize to the generals soon?"

"Yes, this subordinate made a slip of the tongue." Ye Hongyu looked at Li Yuan in disbelief, and was stunned on the spot.Then, under Li Yuan's aggressive gaze, he had no choice but to lower his head bitterly, bowed to the crowd and said, "Here Ye, I apologize to all the generals."

"Hmph, Mr. Ye is a scholar after all, so don't be ashamed if you don't understand military affairs, otherwise it will be just a joke. I hope you will remember it."

"Haha, well said, how could a pedantic scholar reprimand me as the leader of the army? I really overestimated myself."

"These scholars think they understand everything after reading a few books. If they really want to go to the battlefield, they might be scared to pee their pants. Haha!". . . . .

Amidst the ridicule, Ye Hongyu tightly squeezed the fist in his sleeve, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Li Yuan seemed to see something was wrong, he quickly stopped the generals' ridicule, then looked at him with a smile and said: "The generals are upright, I hope you don't care about it."

"This subordinate understands that I am embarrassing my lord." Ye Hongyu took a deep breath, raised his head, showed a calm expression, and said slowly, "This subordinate is a bit overwhelmed with alcohol, and wants to leave first. I hope my lord will allow me."

"This?" Li Yuan understood his feelings, and felt a little sorry, but at this time the generals were not kind to him, and staying here would only add shame, he might as well go back. "Okay, since sir is drunk, let's go back to the tent and have a rest."

"Thank you, my lord!" Ye Hongyu hurriedly thanked him, then took a big step and left the big tent.

Li Yuan looked deeply at Ye Hongyu's leaving figure, and immediately said softly to an attendant beside him: "You send someone to watch over Mr., and come to report his whereabouts at any time."

"The slave obeys!"

After getting out of the big tent, Ye Hongyu let out a long breath, looked up at the sky, feeling completely bewildered.Before the war is over, the protagonist has already begun to get carried away and carried away.He is becoming more and more impatient with him as a gentleman, and he cannot listen to honest and harsh words.I'm afraid that if he becomes the master of Huazhou in the future, not only will he not be reused, but he may also be in danger of his life.What to do now is the time to make a decision.

However, the sky is big and the earth is big, where is the place to settle down?Suddenly, Lin Yifan's figure appeared in his mind, and he remembered his solicitation words before. "Master Lin is a good enlightened leader. Since Li Yuan can't tolerate me anymore, I can't show my ambitions here. It's better to go and seek refuge with Master Lin." Ye Hongyu thought in his heart, his face gradually became excited, and he thought for a while After a while, he came to the stable and led away a nasty horse.

After a while, a gallop galloped towards the Hengshan army camp.
