"Two adults, this mission is very important, it can only succeed, not fail!" After assigning the task to Fang Zheng and Ma Ying, Li Yuntian's face turned cold, and he said to the two of them with a cold expression, "Otherwise, the people of Sanjiang City will be under the threat of the rebels."

"Rest assured, the commander-in-chief, you must do your best, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" Fang Zheng knew the importance of this sneak attack on Anliang County, and after Anliang County was taken, it would be used as a barrier for Sanjiang City, so that Sanjiang City would not directly face the rebels, so he stood up, bowed his hand at Li Yuntian, and said solemnly.

"Lord Commander, so is his humble position, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent!" Immediately, Ma Qi, who was sitting on the side, also got up and saluted Li Yuntian respectfully.

At this moment, the two of them didn't know Li Yuntian's true purpose of taking Anliang County, using Anliang County as a barrier to Sanjiang City was just one of the reasons, and more importantly, Li Yuntian wanted to use the battle of Anliang County to tell Li Li, the Ming army in Sanjiang City was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by him, and he would pay a heavy price if he wanted to capture Sanjiang City.

This will be an important bargaining chip for Li Yuntian to negotiate with Li Li, and only if Li Li is jealous, then Li Li will honestly sit down at the negotiating table.

"This sortie must give the rebels a deterrent." Li Yuntian saw that Fang Zheng and Ma Qi looked like they were at home, bowed their heads slightly, and then said coldly, "Divide a group of men and horses, ambush them on the way to Lilian Prefecture, and annihilate the fleeing rebels." ”

"Remember, there is no extra food in the hands of this official!" As he spoke, Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and he said meaningfully, his expression extremely indifferent.

"Humble duty understands!" Fang Zheng and Ma Qi were slightly stunned when they heard this, the two of them had already heard the meaning of Li Yuntian's words, Li Yuntian meant not to be captured, but he said it more tactfully, so he glanced at each other and bowed to Li Yuntian, and replied in a deep voice.

"Let's go down and prepare." Li Yuntian showed a smile on his face, and waved his hand at the two, he didn't want to be taken prisoner is forced by the form, now that the rebels are in full swing, he must show a tough posture to the rebels, this is war, either you die or I live, there is no mercy at all.

Fang Zheng and Ma Qi bowed their hands to Li Yuntian, left in a hurry, and went to the former military camp in Sanjiang City to arrange relevant matters.

The two were very familiar with the former army battalion, not only because the soldiers of the Beijing Army and the Jiaozhi Local Guard Station in the former army camp were their old subordinates, but when Li Yuntian reorganized the Sanjiang City troops, the two of them were assigned to the former army battalion as staff generals, and personally participated in the reorganization process.

After nightfall, the troops of the former army battalion, under the leadership of Fang Zheng and Ma Qi, hurriedly left Sanjiang City, hurried to Anliang County, and soon disappeared into the quiet night.

Li Yuntian stood on the city gate tower to see off the soldiers of the former army camp, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face sank like water, he hoped that Fang Zheng and Ma Qi could take Anliang County smoothly, only in this way can the current predicament of Jiaozhi be solved, otherwise once the rebels mobilize troops to besiege Sanjiang City, Jiaozhi's already extremely critical shape will be worse.

Among the generals of the counterinsurgency army led by Li Yuntian, only he and Liang Shaojie, the right deputy commander-in-chief, and Han Wei, the guerrilla general, followed Li Yuntian to Jiaozhi, and Wang Jian and others marched together with the large army of Xiaowu.

Li Yuntian asked Liang Shaojie to sit in Taiyuan City to ensure the smooth flow of military and political affairs in Taiyuan Mansion, and Han Wei supervised the collected stragglers in Xuanhua City.

In fact, Qin Kun very much hoped to go to attack Anliang County, after all, this was the first battle he encountered after coming to Jiaozhi, but Li Yuntian told him that this battle was a "battle of dignity" for the Jiaozhi defenders, so the two had to stay in Sanjiang City and wait for news.

There was another reason why Li Yuntian did not let Qin Kun go to Anliang County, he was worried that the young and vigorous Qin Kun would make meritorious contributions and disrupt the deployment of Fang Zheng and Ma Qi, and then he would not be able to annihilate the rebels to the greatest extent possible, and it would also leave a rift in the relationship between the two sides.

Along the way, Qin Kun admired Li Yuntian more and more, and the complicated affairs of Jiaozhi were magically smoothed out by Li Yuntian one by one, so that the tense situation in Xuanhua Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and Sanjiang Mansion was quickly eased.

Moreover, Li Yuntian unexpectedly wanted to attack Anliang County, where 30,000 rebels were stationed, which really shocked him.

In Qin Kun's view, now that the enemy is outnumbered, the top priority of the Ming army is to defend Sanjiang City with all its might, accumulate strength and wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but Li Yuntian did the opposite, attacking instead of defending, and his courage was far greater than he imagined.

Obviously, the battle situation of Sanjiang City is related to the battle situation in Jiaozhi, once Sanjiang City is lost, the Ming army will fall into a comprehensive passivity in Jiaozhi, and may be driven out of Jiaozhi by the rebels in one fell swoop.

But Li Yuntian still dared to send troops to attack Anliang County under such circumstances, which was not something Qin Kun could imagine.

"General Qin, two hours later, he led 10,000 rear troops to Anliang County to take over the defense of Anliang County. Remember, the rebels may launch a counterattack, so be prepared to defend the city! After Fang Zheng and Ma Qi and his party disappeared into the night, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, turned his head and ordered Qin Kun.

After a battle with Anliang County, the soldiers of the former army battalion led by Fang Zheng and Ma Qi were absolutely exhausted, so Li Yuntian decided to teach Qin Kun about defending the city.

"Yes." Qin Kun was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fist at Li Yuntian, bowed and replied, which meant that he had a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian then walked away, stretching his waist as he walked, yawning in his mouth, he hadn't slept a good night's sleep these days, and now Fang Zheng and Ma Qi had gone on the expedition, and it was up to heaven to capture Anliang County, so he decided to give himself a big vacation and get a good night's sleep.

Perhaps because he was too tired, Li Yuntian slept until noon the next day after lying down, and when he was eating lunch with Lei Ting somewhat absentmindedly, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

After Li Yuntian heard this voice, he couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked out of the door with a slight frown, the news that could be reported while he was eating was undoubtedly very important, judging from the current situation, it was related to Anliang County.

Seeing this, Lei Ting also looked at the door, with a nervous look on her face, and she didn't know what kind of news the people outside would bring.

"Lord General Yu, General Fang asked the small fast horse to report that our army has successfully occupied Anliang County, the rebels have been defeated and are fleeing outside the city, and our army is arranging troops to pursue and kill."

Under the gaze of the two, a sweaty and panting sergeant walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee at the door, and shouted at Li Yuntian.

"It's been hard all the way, let's go down and rest." Li Yuntian's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and he waved his hand to the sergeant who reported the news quietly, and then ordered the guards on the side, "Prepare a table of wine and food for him." ”

"Mr. Xie." The sergeant who reported the news turned overjoyed when he heard this, bowed his hand to Li Yuntian, got up and left with one of the guards.

"Big brother, congratulations, Shun Lì has taken the county seat of Anliang." After waiting for the sergeant to leave, Lei Ting smiled and arched her hand to Li Yuntian, really happy for Li Yuntian in her heart.

"This is just the first step, the next step is for the eldest brother to let Li Li know that the eldest brother is going to defend Anliang County and let him weigh the pros and cons." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and said with a deep groan.

"Big brother, are you going to Anliang County?" Lei Ting was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, if Li Li mobilized a large army to storm Anliang County, then Anliang County would be dangerous.

Anliang County is just an ordinary city, how can it withstand the attack of the rebels, and the rebels have already mastered some experience in siege in the battle, which is not good for the Ming army.

"Anliang County is only the southern gateway of Sanjiang City, and Sanjiang City is the place that the eldest brother wants to ensure." Seeing that Lei Ting was in a hurry, Li Yuntian said with a smile, "The eldest brother will stay in Sanjiang City and let the stand-in go to Anliang County." ”

"Big brother, if the rebels besiege Anliang County and don't attack it, and send people to attack Sanjiang City, these defenders in the city will not be able to resist their attack." Lei Ting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then realized a problem, and looked at Li Yuntian worriedly.

Fang Zheng and Ma Qi took away 20,000 former troops, Qin Kun took away 10,000 rear troops, and now only 20,000 rear troops are left stationed in Sanjiang City.

"The eldest brother has already given an order, and those stragglers who have been reorganized in Xuanhua Mansion will arrive in Sanjiang City tomorrow, and it will not be easy for the rebels to take Sanjiang City." Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, and told Lei Ting a piece of news.

"I see!" Lei Ting put her mind at ease, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she knew that Li Yuntian was doing things in a measured manner, and she would definitely not make the defense of Sanjiang City empty.

"The eldest brother thinks that Li Li will not sit idly by and watch Anliang County fall to our army, and he will definitely send troops to come, otherwise he will not be able to explain to his subordinates, and there is a good chance that Sanjiang City, which is exhausted by the main force, will be the target of the attack."

Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, smiled and said to Lei Ting, "Big brother has to fight him again so that he can sit down and negotiate according to Big Brother's wishes." ”

"Big brother, there are so many of them, how can you fight them?" Lei Ting felt that Li Yuntian's analysis was reasonable, so she asked curiously.

"Ambush!" Li Yuntian's eyes flashed, and he explained to Lei Ting with a smile, "Li Li knows that Sanjiang City's troops are limited, and after capturing Anliang County, he has even thinned Sanjiang City's troops, he would definitely not have thought that his eldest brother would dare to ambush the rebels, as long as he defeats his vanguard troops, then Li Li will definitely retreat when he is surprised." ”

"In this way, Li Li thinks that the eldest brother is strong and must not dare to act rashly, so the eldest brother can force him to negotiate." Lei Ting nodded again and again when she heard this, and said Li Yuntian's wishful thinking with a smile.!^!
