"Alas... If we had also sent troops to respond, we would have been able to at least fight to help the loyal generals this time! ”

Ling Tong sighed, in front of him, He Ji's face did not change, and said: "What was done at the beginning, now that the time has passed, what is the use of saying it now?" ”

Listening to the words between the two, it can be roughly seen that the contradiction between Ling Tong and He Ji seems to have been resolved, and this matter is still when Lin Xiu went west to welcome refugees and passed through the boundary of Xiangcheng to make trouble, in the face of such a new general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, if Ling Tong and He Ji and other county military lines do not work together to maintain their own strength, once Lin Xiu has the heart to get involved in the military affairs of Zhucheng, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is integrated, Ling Tong and He Ji will definitely bear the brunt, the light one will follow his army, be willing to be a subordinate, and the heavy one... It is estimated that it is a head change, after all, no general wants to have a few jackals near his couch.

"What are you two doing here? Recently, the drought has been severe, and there have been robbing incidents in many counties and townships. ”

The county guard He Du came in angrily, and He Ji and Ling Tong immediately got up: "My lord! ”

He Du was upset and irritable, when the Northern Barbarians went south, they had already tossed the Northern Xinjiang undecently, after the Northern Barbarians retreated, they did not wait for the boundaries of the cities to recover their vitality, stabilize the people's food and clothing, and there was civil strife in the imperial power, and now the Northern Xinjiang is not an exaggeration to say that the people are not living.

"My lord, those rogues have been expelled from the realm by us, and now they are operating in the border of the city, so we don't need to do much!"

He Ji responded, and Ling Tong also answered: "My lord, those rogues are quite shrewd, they are at the junction of Lincheng and Xiangcheng, if we attack, they flee to the border of Lincheng, if we don't attack, they will loot in the counties and towns at the junction, if you don't want to solve this matter, sooner or later you will have problems with the Lincheng officials, besides, I heard that the war in Zhongdu is over, Lin Xiuchi has made meritorious contributions to Feng'en, I am afraid that kid will go further..."

Speaking of Lin Xiu's name, He Du also hesitated for a moment, for the showy general who was born in a cheap businessman, he had already seen it, a year ago in the Western Realm refugee incident, this kid more than 1,000 people slapped the two battalions of Xiangcheng in the face, Ling Tong and He Ji were defeated by him because of discord, but even if the two are now like brothers, if they really want to go to Lin Xiu's Bei'an Army again, I am afraid that they will also be in vain.

Seeing that He Du was silent for a while, He Ji said: "My lord, the rogue bandits, but Er'er, the boundary matter, it is better to turn a blind eye!" Of course, a certain school will also be sent to garrison nearby, if the thief does not know what is good and bad, and commits a crime, it will definitely be punished severely! ”

Yanzhou City.

King Yan sat alone in the main court, looking at the empty pavilion, King Yan's heart was broken like a knife, thinking that he was full of spirit when he came, 200,000 troops, and the generals were full of bravery, but now he is alone, and there is the Zhongdu army chasing behind him, which is really sad to the extreme.

"Your Highness, the Chinese army has been integrated and can leave!"

He Qi came in and said, King Yan raised his head slightly, and asked, "The pursuers outside the city have retreated?" ”

He Qi shook his head: "Your Highness, the chasing soldiers outside the city, the last general has his own arrangements, now His Highness just goes east to Jianghuai, to our place, Jianghuai millions of people, 100,000 with armor brave, not afraid that Dongshan will not be able to get up!" ”

Hearing this, King Yan's heart ached and he cried unconsciously, which made He Qi's heart worry: "Your Highness, don't do this, now the Chinese military camp has five thousand people in addition to the men and horses who are resisting the pursuing soldiers, which is enough to ensure that Your Highness returns to Jianghuai safely, please don't delay it any longer!" ”

Outside the city, Gao Chonglian was ordered by Emperor Xia Wu to temporarily organize 10,000 people in the city defense army and the forbidden army, and completely replaced the Bei'an army to chase, looking at Yanzhou City, Gao Chonglian's heart is more than enough and his strength is insufficient, nearly a year of civil war, has already exhausted the strength of the generals in the capital, I thought that the Yan thief retreated, and the army in the capital could rest, but I didn't expect Emperor Xia Wu to suddenly give an order and order him to pursue, which was really an accident in an accident.

"General Gao, although the Yan army was defeated, the rest were brave, in addition to hundreds of silver-armored troops, there were also one or two thousand elite cavalry, if we really chased it, I am afraid that we will be defeated and injured!"

Qi An, as the supervising envoy of the army, whispered and said, "How can I not know, but why did Your Majesty order us to chase after us?" If this order is carried out by the Bei'an Army, the chances of success are much greater! ”

"Alas... The emperor's heart is unpredictable! ”

Qi An whispered: "In this battle, King Yu has been in the limelight, and the Bei'an Army is even more successful, Your Majesty... It's hard not to think about it! ”

Zhengde Palace, after the defeat of the Yan army, Emperor Xia Wu's dignity rose again, in the face of the ministers and hundreds of officials, Emperor Xia Wu's voice was repeated, some of the courtiers who were unwilling to be loyal from the heart at first trembled at this time, and when Emperor Xia Wu's eyes focused on them, these courtiers were eager to find a crack in the ground to drill in, in order to avoid the emperor's prestige, but Emperor Xia Wu's heart to the courtiers had long been clear, before it was hindered by the westward advance of the Yan King, the war was unknown, but now the Yan King was defeated, and even the Yong Prince of the Zhongdu Xungui was killed in the chaotic war, Those who want to take refuge in the Yan King have lost their help, and Emperor Xia Wu can dispose of these duplicitous bastards to his heart's content.

Half a moment later, a group of forbidden soldiers escorted dozens of courtiers outside, and those ministers who were alone only let out a sigh. After disposing of the thorn in the eye, Emperor Xia Wu retreated from the dynasty and returned to the Qianqing Palace, Du Ruting said: "Your Majesty, King Yu has been kneeling outside the palace for two hours!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Wu frowned: "The war is chaotic, let him kneel!" ”

Du Ruting felt a pang in his heart, and said with a sigh of relief: "Those foreign generals are now in the Beicheng campus, and their Li Army and Bei'an Army have been placed in Dongying outside the city by General Yu Changhai!" ”

"Foreign Army!"

Emperor Xia Wu said to himself: "Send the order to the imperial dining room, give it a reward banquet, wait for these trivial matters to be dealt with, and pass the order to the generals of the foreign army, so that they can meet them like a palace!" ”

According to the rules, Lin Xiu and Zhang Qi can only bring a personal cavalry team here, and the number of people cannot exceed 20 people, so that most of the generals and soldiers can only camp outside the city.

"General, half a moment ago, the imperial gate ordered to send a reward banquet to the imperial dining room in the palace, and Shi Baohe, the general of the forbidden army, invited you to the banquet!"

Tang Chuanwen whispered, Rao is Lin Xiu shook his head: "I won't go for such a false thing, thank you to General Shi Baohe on my behalf, and give another letter of thanks, hand it over to the imperial order, and hand it to the palace!" ”

After the words fell, Lin Xiu sat in front of the low case again, looking at the battle damage book handed over by Zhao Yuan of the former army and Cheng Da of the rear army, Lin Xiu's heart was like a sting of thousands of swords, and it was difficult for him to breathe in pain.

In this battle, nearly 19,000 soldiers of the Bei'an Army died 8,000 and 4,000 were wounded.
