The shocking changes in Zhongxing Mansion had reached the Yuan army camp long before Wei Mingling Gong got the news. Although Li Chengye organized a friendship meeting of the 'Gansu Legion and the Tubo Legion', it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Many important military outposts are well manned. And the knife was unsheathed, and the firearms were in an open state. As long as an unexpected situation occurs, the Yuan army can immediately send a large army to attack the Xia army head-on.

However, until now, the Xia army on the opposite side did not have the courage and courage to counterattack.

"Lord Wang, after several months of rushing to make a system, the Quartermaster Department has rushed to produce enough sheepskin rafts, enough for the whole army to cross the river." , Dong Bo, the quartermaster of the Gansu Legion, reported to Li Chengye.

The Quartermaster Department is a fat man, in charge of the supply of military supplies for the first army. Dong Bo was able to take on this errand, in addition to his own efforts, he also won the favor of Li Chengye.

Although the influence of the Liang Wangfu on the army is limited, it is not at all. In addition, Li Chengye was also from the army before, but he was born in the border army. But with his own courage, he made a name for himself in the border army. Later, after the army was restructured, a large number of border troops were incorporated into the corps. This also made many border soldiers secretly feel that King Liang is their own family.

Therefore, in the army, especially in the Gansu Army, Li Chengye's words still have enough weight.

Of course, the more important reason is that Li Chengye has given Li Chengye enough real power to overcome public opinion. Although there were still many constraints in the Liangwang Mansion at the beginning, with the start of the Yuanxia War, Gansu Province, as the eastern province of the Great Yuan, must have enough ability to make the most appropriate and appropriate response before Ma Lu's order arrived.

This is also Li Chengji's intention when he deliberately named Li Chengye as the King of Liang.

At present, after three years, the evaluation of Li Chengye by the Dayuan officialdom, Li Chengji has handed over the important military and political affairs of the entire Gansu Province to Li Chengye with full authority. Even the Gansu Army and the two battalions of soldiers and horses in Tubo were also at his disposal, which fully demonstrated Li Chengji's trust in this half-brother.

For such a low-ranking official position as the chief of the quartermaster's department, Li Chengye can also recommend his own people to the top, so that he can be appointed.

It's just a high-ranking officer, and he can't be replaced at will. This also involves the bottom line of the imperial court, which can easily cause suspicion. Li Chengye has no intention of being self-reliant, so he naturally will not touch his head. So I know what it means to be proportionate, and what it means to accept it when I see it.

Although appointing oneself in this way is a bit of a suspicion of cronyism, I have to admit that I am easy to do. Li Chengye's efforts in running Gansu Province for so many years have changed the situation of desolation, chaos, and no one in the population after the great migration, and officials who are handy are indispensable.

In this battle against Xia, although the above meaning is to focus on stability, neither Xia nor Mongolia dare to covet the Gansu province of Dayuan. But the specific way to do it is up to Li Chengye to do it.

Like the last time he used the fake rebellion in Longedingli to lure Xia Jun into Ganzhou, it was a suggestion he made to Ma Lu after consulting with the officials in the prefecture.

Although many innocent people died in this turmoil, some local officials expressed their dissatisfaction with the officials. But until now, the ministry has not even said a few words of reprimand, which is enough to show the attitude of the ministry, and even the cabinet and Lee Seungji.

Therefore, the officials who were still a little cautious did not dare to stumble on the Liangwang Mansion. Li Chengye's military and political circles in Gansu Province have also become more and more unshakable. Now in the officialdom, some people even privately say that Gansu Province is already a 'small court'. There is no need to pay taxes, and officials below the fourth rank are mainly recommended by the Liangwang Mansion.

But in the absence of suspicion from the cabinet and Lee Seung-ji, this voice can only mumble a few words behind the scenes, and cannot ascend to the hall of elegance.

Li Chengye, who was studying the arrangement of troops, turned around when he heard this, and said to Dong Bo: "There is chaos in Zhongxing Mansion, and the battle of crossing the river is about to happen. You first have someone go down and get pen and paper ready and write something. I think there will definitely be surprises on Xia Jun's side. ”。

At night, both sides of the Yellow River are quiet. The torches lined up along the riverbank were also gradually lit. Both sides of the Yuan and Xia sides were on guard against each other, so the riverbank was the focus of defense. It's just that compared to the Xia army, the Yuan army's defense does not seem to be so close.

Suddenly, the fire on the side of the Yuan army grew up. The soldiers of the Xia Army, who had been vigilant, immediately reported the news. After a few breaths, the name of the prince will know. But before he could respond, Jebe's military order arrived. Let him beat the drum immediately, and let the Xia army guard against the Yuan army to cross the river.

On the side of the Yuan army, it is obviously well prepared. Hundreds of sheepskin rafts lined up along the riverbank, and soldiers carrying baskets of arrows on their backs were cutting on the tower at great speed.

Knock knock knock······ The sound of drums mixed with the crashing of the river water spread throughout the Yuan army camp in the night. But Li Chengye and many generals did not have any worries! Because they dared to cross the river without hesitation like this, it was originally to alarm the Xia army.

"Qianhu, the Yuan army crossed the river so magnificently, I'm afraid there are other plans!" , Wei Ming Linggong stood beside Jebel, and said with doubts on his face.

Jebel is not clear about this. After all, there must be a demon when things go wrong, but who knows what kind of demon it is?

"Don't we know that the Yuan army must have other plans. But Xia Jun is too useless, and we can only respond to all changes with the same. Duoto's bruised lips closed one by one, and he was so angry that he said goodbye to his face, and he didn't bother to say more.

At this time, the Yuan army had gradually moved away from the river bank and slowly rowed towards the Xia army. The banks of the Yellow River have turned a corner here, and the water flows relatively fast. Only Lanweidu, where they are located, has been silted up by the river and a large shoal, so that the current is relatively gentle.

The water level of the river is also shallower than in other places. Originally, there was a pontoon bridge here, but after the Xia army withdrew, the pontoon bridge was burned. The river was very wide, and the archers on the Xia army's side were ready to shoot, but they didn't let go.

It wasn't until the Yuan army was about to reach the middle line of the river that the sound of arrows breaking through the air pierced the night sky.

Each arrow was smeared with fire oil, and at this moment it was ignited and turned into a rocket. But the Yuan army did not move forward and put out a hot air balloon in the shape of a basket. Under the nose of Xia Jun on the other side, it slowly rose into the air.

The sheepskin rafts were also connected together, lined up in a large pontoon boat. And throw the iron rope under the water to fix the sheepskin raft on the surface of the river.

On this big night, the Yuan army made this one, and everyone in the Xia army knew nothing about it. It wasn't until the large basket rose above their heads and threw out a large pile of paper that they didn't know the purpose of the Yuan army.
