The reconstruction and renaming of Yongle City, for Liu Minxing, can be said to be the first time that Ye Qing personally sent him, and naturally, he also knows very well in his heart how important the reconstruction of Yongle City is for the entire Northland. It is even clearer that once he can build Yongle City to Ye Qing's satisfaction, then he, Liu Minxing, can be regarded as truly entering the core power range of the Northland.

Although they are now learning from Liu Minxue, they have served as pacification envoys in each of the three roads of Hetao, and the dispatch is sufficient, but whether it is him or Liu Minxue, they actually know in their hearts that up to now, they have no way or opportunity to use a dispatch to make Ye Qing believe in their abilities and regard them as henchmen.

The drizzle in Yanzhou did not mean to stop, but Ye Qing, who had rested for a day, had to lead the army of planting flowers in the rain.

The heavy rain muddy all the roads and paths, even the flower planters, who are known for their light horses, walked on the muddy road, it was very difficult, and when the hour came, they could only walk a few miles.

Between the two counties of Menshan and Yanchang, a straight official road went straight forward lonely, crossing the hilly-like steep slope in front, and below it was the dotted Song military camp tents, lying quietly on the ground in the heavy rain.

From time to time, you can see some cavalry leading their horses between the camps, and from time to time, you can also see some foot soldiers, patrolling the whole camp.

Wang Chong and Xie Lun were raised by Liu Keshi, although the two are military generals and the commanders of the Longcheng Barracks, but like Liu Keshi, they are rookies who have never really been on the battlefield.

Since arriving at the area designated by Ye Qing and setting up camp, the two of them have deployed the 30,000 horses in their hands in every step according to Ye Qing's explanation, and they did not dare to mix their own ideas into it, which shows how heavy the pressure on the two of them is in the face of the menacing Jin people.

So when Ye Qing arrived at the Longcheng Barracks, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the gloomy expression that was originally similar to that of a rainy day also turned from cloudy to sunny as soon as they saw Ye Qing, and they became a lot more relaxed.

The entire Longcheng barracks, now plus the 5,000 kinds of Huajia army brought by Ye Qing, is only 35,000 people, and now the 100,000 army of the Jin people will only have four or five days to reach the ferry on the other side of the Yellow River.

took off the armor that had become extraordinarily heavy due to the rain, changed into dry clothes, and when he came out again, Wang Chong and Xie Lun, and Xu Han, the current deputy commander of the Flower Planting Army, were talking very happily.

After seeing Ye Qing come out, the three of them hurriedly got up, and Wang Chong asked a little impatiently: "My lord, I heard that Commander Xu said that Master Liu Keshi Liu has won several battles in the Xia Realm?" ”

"You want to win battles too?" Ye Qing sat down on a chair in the tent and asked with a smile.

I can clearly feel that since Ye Qing entered the Longcheng camp, the originally tense pre-war atmosphere of the entire camp has become relatively peaceful.

If before he came, there was still a tense atmosphere in the entire Longcheng camp, then in just two hours since Ye Qing arrived, the entire atmosphere in the Longcheng camp was obviously much more stable, and the somewhat uneasy tense atmosphere had disappeared unconsciously.

"Of course the last general wants to win. It's just that the last general really didn't expect that Lord Liu would ...... It was even possible to win the Xia people, and it was effortless to win. Wang Chong still couldn't believe that Liu Keshi, a civil official, had made more military exploits than the two rookie generals who had never been on the battlefield.

"Liu Keshi is crooked, whether it is in terms of the number of troops or weapons and equipment, it is stronger than those small groups of Xia people who pass by, if it is such a small group of Xia people, he can't win, I'm afraid that without Lord Ye's hands, Lord Liu will pick off his own head." Xu Han has been planting flowers and the army is not obvious, it is precisely because Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm are too dazzling, so he is on a par with Mo and Zhong in terms of ability, and he has never had the opportunity to lead the army to fight alone.

And this time to meet the Jin people who came to attack, especially the Jin people led by the begging stone lie gods and slaves, for Xu Han, he was already eager to try it in his heart, not to mention that when he first conquered Liao, he had been sent under the command of the begging stone lie gods and slaves.

At that time, in addition to winning each other's trust and enabling them to fight as one against the Khorezmian people, they also hoped to understand the other two's tactics of using troops to fight through each other's generals sent to others.

But in the battle against the Khorezmians, only Ye Qing's killer gun was never used, so when he got the battle of Guanshan, the begging stone martyrs were suddenly pinched by Ye Qing, making it difficult to move forward half a step.

And now, the begging stone lie gods and slaves already know that the only killer weapon in Ye Qing's hand that can secretly kill people, so naturally they will also take precautions.

Therefore, when the Jin scout played the begging stone lie gods and slaves, and Ye Qing had already led the flower planting army to Yanchang and Gate Mountain, the begging stone lie gods and slaves only smiled slightly, because he had already guessed that the Song people were very important to the Xia country's conquest, but it was not as important as Dajin attacking his rear, which made Ye Qing nervous.

Ye Qing appeared along the Yellow River to meet the enemy, not only did it not make the beggar Shilie gods and slaves nervous, but it made him feel a lot more relieved, after all, with Ye Qing's appearance, it also represented ...... The forces that the Song people can use to resist are nothing more than these.

He didn't believe that Ye Qing still had the need to conceal his strength now, not to mention that there were so many soldiers, and he was attacking Xia again, even if Ye Qing wanted to conceal his strength and raid himself when the war was stalemate, he would not have the strength to allow him to do it at all.

The heavy rain has been falling for four days, and there is still no sign of stopping, and the Qishilie Divine Slaves, who were originally scheduled to reach the other side of the Yellow River, still arrived on the other side of the Yellow River two days later than planned.

However, the Song army's fortifications on the opposite bank were not interrupted because the banners of the Jin army were all over the other bank, as if they did not see the 100,000 Jin army that had reached the opposite bank, and they still continued to defend against the layers of fortifications that the war horses were trampling on.

In the past two days, whether it is Ye Qing or Xu Han, or Wang Chong and Xie Lun, they will continue to inspect the entire barracks, and with the 5,000 war horses sent by Liu Minxing, the cavalry of the Song army has now reached 13,000.

Ye Qing didn't have any concealment from the begging stone lie gods and slaves on the opposite side at all, and laid out the formation of the left and right cavalry and the middle infantry army as the main formation, and came to wait for the begging stone lie gods and slaves to cross the river for a decisive battle.

Naturally, this is also because Ye Qing now only has more than 30,000 troops, and he can't withstand the Jin people attacking from various ferries on the other side of the long Yellow River, after all, if they want to rely on this little bit of men and horses to block the Jin people from crossing the river, then I am afraid that without waiting for the Jin people to make a move, they may be dragged down by dozens of ferries that are two hundred miles long, and thus defeated without a fight.

So Ye Qing made up his mind from the very beginning, whether the Jin people crossed the river from the North Hedong Road on the opposite bank or from the South East River Road, he ignored it, and only identified the area of Yanzhou Mansion, waiting for the Jin people to come here to fight him.

What the Jin people want is to recapture the entire Hetao Third Road and even Jingzhao Mansion, and now it has been recaptured by Ye Qing for more than a year and less than two years, and there are still a large number of Jin people left over from the local officialdom, so no matter how Ye Qing tries to block the Jin people from crossing the river, it is impossible to achieve a key victory that can change the situation of the war, it is better to break the jar like now, and be willing to let the Jin people advance from the two wings into the Yanyan Road, even if it is directly pointing to the two roads of Xiqin and Qingyuan, after all, no matter what, as long as he has been here in Yanzhou, The Jin people did not dare to really advance in a big way, and they must defeat themselves first before they could occupy various cities with peace of mind.

The rain gradually stopped with the arrival of the Jin soldiers, and as far as the eye could see, the Jin soldiers were everywhere like black clouds, the neighing of war horses, and the shouts of all the soldiers could be transmitted very clearly to the ears of Ye Qing and the others here.

"My lord, apart from this ferry, there is a ferry thirty miles upstream, and less than twenty miles downstream, there is also a ferry for the gold people to cross the river. Now look at the Jin people opposite, the number of people is ...... There are no less than tens of thousands, will they ....... Wang Chongji looked into the distance, and asked with some concern while counting the flags of the Jinren camp on the other side of the river.

He had already informed Ye Qing a few days ago, but Ye Qing didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't send troops to destroy a few ferries upstream and downstream, but all of them stayed unharmed, which was completely equivalent to opening the gate and letting the Jin people cross the river to attack without hindrance.

"I don't know." Ye Qing frowned, looking at the Jin soldiers who were constantly shouting and scolding on the other side: "The begging stone martyr god slave should be much more stable now than before, since he knows that I am already waiting for him here, I think he should send a small force to cross the river first to test our reaction." In the first battle, we are only allowed to win and not to lose, so that we can have the confidence to fight with them, if we lose the first battle, it will be difficult for us to win next. ”

"My lord, how about the first battle from the end to the end?" Xu Han was eager to try, and just now he was scolding the Jin army with the strength of one person, and now his voice is already a little hoarse.

The entire embankment of the Yellow River is the four of them facing the Jin army on the opposite bank, so it is conceivable that Xu Han's scolding alone is like a shrew scolding the street, I am afraid that only Ye Qing and the three of them can hear it clearly, as for the Jin people opposite, they can't hear a word, but because of the proximity, I am afraid they can also guess from Xu Han's body language that Xu Han is alone, greeting all the women of all their Jin people, young and old.
