The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 296
For such a result, Li Yuan felt very aggrieved. At the end of the battle, he actually caused a heavy casualty.This is undoubtedly a traumatic injury for the already weak Li family.So far, the Li family, which originally had tens of thousands of troops, suffered more than half of the casualties in this Northern Expedition, and now only has about 5000 troops left.What made him even more resentful was that the Hengshan Army suffered no more than [-] casualties in this series of battles.In this crisis, the Hengshan Army can be said to have benefited the most, not only gaining the land of Anzhou for nothing, but also enjoying the huge amount of money, food and materials given by the Li family.

But Li Yuan didn't dare to make any remorse at all. Jishan Pass was still in the hands of the Hengshan Army, and his passage to Huazhou was still in the hands of the opponent.Therefore, even in this battle, the Hengshan Army sat back and watched the two armies fight, and did not dare to reprimand them too much for the delay in responding.He could only suppress his anger and swallow this bitter fruit.

Now that the war was over, Li Yuan couldn't wait to take control of Huazhou as soon as possible, so he invited Lin Yifan to have a meeting to discuss the agreement.

Lin Yifan naturally understood Li Yuan's urgency, but Luo Feng, who had entered Huazhou, hadn't sent any news yet, so for the present plan, he could only delay it.

Therefore, Lin Yifan temporarily avoided Li Yuan's request to see him in the name of dealing with military affairs.After a few days, it was not until the south brought news that they knew what happened to Luo Feng after he went south.

After Luo Feng went south this time, he was extremely bold, with 5000 troops non-stop all the way, and captured several counties in a row, only to be noticed by the counties and counties in Huazhou.Seeing that the city could not be breached, Luo Feng turned to attack the countryside outside the counties.With the assistance of Chen Dengke, the evil gentry and bullies were arrested wantonly, their homes were ransacked, property was distributed to the common people, land deeds were burned, and the land was distributed to tenant farmers.Then raised the flag of rebellion and recruited militiamen, but in a few days, the proletarians and refugees from all over the world responded one after another, gathered under Luo Feng's banner, and quickly recruited two to three thousand people.

Soon, the rebel army attacked everywhere, attacked the countryside, and continued to absorb the local poor and helpless people.During this half month, tens of thousands of horses gathered.Relying on these tens of thousands of horses, Luo Feng began to plunder the city and plunder the surrounding counties.After conquering the county seat, Luo Feng did not embarrass the officials and people in the city, he just led his troops to search the treasury and blackmail the noble family of the sergeant in the city.Then, with countless money, food and materials, as well as various craftsmen, they withdrew outside the city, and the county town was still handed over to the court officials.

The entire three counties to the north of Huazhou were under the leadership of Luo Feng. After he surrounded the county with tens of thousands of troops, he sent people to the city to negotiate with the county guard and ordered the city to hand over the required supplies before the attack could be avoided. Battle of the city.In the end, due to the situation outside the city and the pressure from the aristocratic families in the city, the governors of the three counties had to do their best to search for money, food and materials to meet Luo Feng's request.

Luo Feng was still not satisfied with the steady flow of materials being transported to Jishan Pass. His eyes had already set on the vast and fertile land south of Xiaoshui River. This is where the essence of Huazhou lies, and it is also where the state capital of Huazhou is located. To win this place, the money, food and materials are several times the previous income.In order to win this place, Luo Feng had to look forward to the war in the north and try to delay it as much as possible to buy time for him to attack Huazhou.So, he wrote a letter of information and sent someone to hurry up and send it to the adults.Then he crossed the Xiaoshui River south with an army that had swelled several times, and set off for the center of Huazhou.

After reading Luo Feng's report, Lin Yifan couldn't help crying and laughing, he didn't expect that he would end the war so quickly.Now Li Yuan came to see him every day, and wanted to let them open the passage of Jishan Pass and let them enter Huazhou.Now seeing Luo Feng's request, he himself is very moved. The capital of Huazhou is prosperous and prosperous. If Luo Feng captures this place, Hengshan will have no difficulty in accepting the people of Anzhou.

"Okay, since you, Luo Feng, have the confidence to win Huazhou, I'll give you a month. I hope you won't let me down." Lin Yifan murmured holding the letter and standing with his hands behind his back.

In the days that followed, Lin Yifan finally met with Li Yuan, but he raised a new view on the matter of the agreement.The two parties had to continue negotiations on the content of the agreement.

Li Yuan had no choice but to be patient and ask Lin Yifan to pay back the money on the spot, and even made concessions on some of the conditions in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible.But Lin Yifan pressed on with every step, without any intention of taking a step back.

Half a month later, Lin Yifan knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer, because Li Yuan was impatient and had doubts about the Hengshan Army's delay. He must know about the Huazhou matter soon.

Therefore, Lin Yifan sent people to the south to inform Luo Feng that no matter whether he had taken Huazhou or not, he would return north immediately.Then Li Yuan was formally notified that the agreement would be based on the current negotiated conditions, and Hengshan agreed to pass the agreement.

Li Yuan, who was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, was both surprised and happy when he heard the words. He didn't know why the Hengshan army gave up his request at this time, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. Jun turned his face.Therefore, he immediately went to meet with Lin Yifan, and signed the agreement under the witness of everyone from the two armies.

After signing the agreement, Li Yuan ordered tens of thousands of troops to go south immediately, preparing to formally take over Huazhou.

At this time, under the city of Huayuan Mansion in Huazhou, an army of 1 hedgehogs gathered here.At this time, there were only less than [-] defenders in the city, and it was still facing the dilemma of lack of soldiers and armor.As a result, the tens of thousands of people temporarily recruited have no fighting power at all, and hundreds of thousands of officials and people are panicked, not knowing when the city will be destroyed by the enemy.

Looking at this big city, Luo Feng felt unsure, because he now has 1 troops under his command, and no more than [-] of them can actually fight. The rest are militiamen recruited during this period and have no combat experience. to speak of.And this city wall is high and deep, and there are many defenders. If you want to take it down in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will be difficult.Now that the one-month period has come, presumably the urging of the adults is already on the way, and he has no time to take down this city at all.

There was no other way, Luo Feng had no choice but to repeat the old trick again, sending people to the city to negotiate and blackmail.Unexpectedly, the state shepherd of Huazhou was quite stubborn, not only rejected the envoy's request, but also chopped off his head and hung him on the city wall.This move completely angered Luo Feng, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack the city, and vowed not to stop until the city was captured.

Just when Luo Feng attacked Huayuanzhou City, the Li family's army had already arrived outside the Jishan Pass, and the assembled [-] soldiers and horses were impatiently preparing to go south.But Qin Yuanhao, who was in charge of guarding the Jishan Pass, had already received a secret report from his lord, asking him to delay as much as possible the pace of the Li family's army going south.Regarding this, Qin Yuanhao also knew the seriousness of the matter. Now that Luo Feng had reached the capital of Huazhou, countless money, food and supplies had been piled up in the pass. If Li Jiajun found out, he would probably go all out and fight himself.Therefore, Qin Yuanhao used various reasons to make things difficult for Li Jiajun, so that he could not advance an inch at the Jishan Pass. Li Yuan was so angry that he had to send someone to the north to ask Lin Yifan for customs clearance documents.It took several days to go back and forth.

And in the border of Xining County in the west of Huazhou, in the snow-covered mountains and forests, tens of thousands of people in ragged clothes and unkempt faces suddenly appeared.He was wearing an imperial military uniform, and it was the remnant of the imperial army that fled into the mountains.

Cao Ziyan's face was pale, dusty, and frostbitten. When he walked out of the mountains, he couldn't help but screamed to the sky, tears streaming down his face.This Northern Expedition, he completely failed, nearly 20 troops were almost lost to Anzhou, and now he escaped from the sky, but at present, there are less than [-] remnants and defeated generals.

"Lin Yifan, I, Cao Ziyan, swear to the sky that I will not kill you in this life, and I swear that I will not be a human being!" Cao Ziyan drew out his sword, pointed it at the sky, and roared sharply.
