On September 24, Wang Anshi suddenly found Lin Yuan, and it turned out that the million units of coal they had purchased from Pingdingshan had been withheld by the lord alliance in Nanyang.

"It's the opposite!"

Lin Yuan was furious when he heard the news, he didn't trouble this group of lords in Nanyang, but this group of people came to the door by themselves.

I think it's because of the recent strife in various places, and these people also want to jump out.

It's a pity that they forgot that what they provoked was Lin Yuan, who was almost the first in power except for the three major camps.

It seems that it is necessary to teach this group a lesson.

On September 25, Lin Yuan swore to go on the expedition.

This time, he wants to personally lead the white horse righteous servants and give the Nanyang lords an eternal pain.

The generals on this expedition include Zhao Yun, Xin Qiji, Lin Chong, and Shan Xiongfei.

The sky-fighting eagle Li Ying was also in Wushan City, however, Lin Yuan did not take him with him, but appointed him as the garrison general of Wushan City to maintain law and order at home.

Li Ying has the [Tianfu] skill, as long as he lives well, Lin Yuan's territory wealth growth rate is guaranteed to be 5%.

With such a God of Wealth, Lin Yuan couldn't offer it, how could he let him go out to fight.

In the early morning of September 27, the army entered the Nanyang territory.

"Ding! System Prompt: You have entered the Nanyang Territory, in the territory of hostile forces, please be careful. ”

Nanyang belongs to the plains.

Since entering Nanyang, it has been a flat river, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

There is no longer a mountain barrier from Jingchu.

This is also the reason why Lin Yuan only carries cavalry.

"Report! 30 miles ahead is Shinno Castle! "Tanma reports.

I didn't expect to arrive at Shinno City so soon.

Xinye Castle belongs to the border city of Xiangyang and Nanyang, and is classified as the Jin Kingdom, with a maximum of 20,000 people.

"Xinye projectile land, take Xinye, as a bridgehead for us to attack Nanyang, which general can take it for me?"

Lin Yuan looked at the several generals beside him.

"The last will go!" Shan Xiongfei was the first to stand up.

Since he took refuge in Lin Yuan, he has been recuperating from his injuries, and he has not yet made an inch, so he is somewhat anxious.

The three generals of Zhao Yun also have the meaning of giving credit, and there is no competition.

"Good!" Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I'll ...... with you 5,000 white horses."

"The end will only be 2000." Shan Xiongfei directly interrupted Lin Yuan's words, and actually made this request.

"Hehe, General Shan is really a master of art and boldness! Good! I'll give you 2,000 soldiers, and you can go and make meritorious contributions quickly. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Shan Xiongfei was overjoyed, carrying an eight-edged Jinpeng stick, and set off with two thousand cavalry.

At this time, Zhao Yun and the other generals took out the map and discussed.

"Lord, after taking Xinye City, there are three roads to choose from, one to the east to take Tangzhou City, and one to the west to take Dengzhou City, if you don't care about anything, you can go north for a long time, and you can go straight to Nanyang City."

Lin Yuan looked at the map and began to think.

The area of Nanyang is larger than that of two Suizhou.

From ancient times to the present, it has been a battleground for soldiers.

The lord of Nanyang is the Nanyang Liu family, and this family is one of the Ten Lao families.

At that time, when Lin Yuan captured Zhang Bangchang alive, the family sent people to intercept and kill him, and he was beheaded by him.

The contradictions between them also arose from that time.

Lin Yuan sent troops this time, only brought cavalry, and it was very difficult to attack the city, so it was impossible to attack the city.

This time he is going to kill, large-scale killing, killing Nanyang Liu's fear.

If you want to kill, you have to fight.

If you want to draw out the forces of the Liu clan in Nanyang, you only need to surround Nanyang City and make the illusion that you want to attack the city.

Siege point reinforcement!

Take advantage of the mobility of the White Horse Righteous Servant to strike hard at all enemy troops who dare to leave the city.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the Battle of Shinno Castle began.

Shan Xiongfei took advantage of the habit of opening the city gate at 5 o'clock in the morning every day in Xinye City, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders in the city, and directly led 2,000 white horse righteous servants into the city.

Easily captured Shinno Castle.

When the army led by Lin Yuan arrived, Xinye City had already been taken.

"My lord, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

In the city lord's mansion, after Shan Xiongfei saw Lin Yuan, he knelt down directly on one knee and handed over the city lord's token.

"General Shan, please get up!" Lin Yuan helped Shan Xiongfei up, "General Shan won the first battle, and he will be credited!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Shan Xiongfei was very excited, and Zhao Yun and other generals were also congratulated again and again.

Lin Yuan took the city lord token and confirmed the possession.

"Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations, you have captured Shinno Castle. ”

Although Shinno Castle is only a first-class county town, it is extremely wealthy.

The silver treasury in the city actually has 1.84 million taels of silver, which is more than the inventory of many county towns.

The reason why I can save so much money is also related to its location at the junction of Nanyang and Xiangyang.

In this special area, traders from the north and south must pass through Shinno Castle, or stay, or rest, and the wealth can be accumulated.

"Come on, bring people up!" Under the beckoning of Shan Xiongfei, the former city lord of Xinye City was escorted up.

He is a glamorous young man who is very handsome.

Lin Yuan asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Liu Xi!" The young man replied honestly.

"So, you're from the Liu family?" Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

The young man nodded, not at all arrogant.

Lin Yuan was suddenly a little surprised.

Doesn't it mean that the children of these big families are all arrogant and unruly? Why does the other party answer whatever he asks? Shouldn't you be stubborn?

Lin Yuan didn't know that when Shan Xiongfei took Xinye City, he captured the City Lord's Mansion and killed all the generals under the young man's command, so that he couldn't be arrogant.

Lin Yuan asked a few more words, then waved his hand and motioned to take Liu Xi down.

"Let him tell all the troops in the cities of Nanyang."

"Yes!" Shan Xiongfei carried Liu Xi and went down in person.

And it didn't take long for all the information to come out.

Nanyang County mainly has 8 cities: Tangzhou City, Dengzhou City, Neixiang City, Zhenping City, Miyang City, Sheqi City, Nanzhao City, and Nanyang City.

Together with the two passes of Fangcheng Pass and Xixia Pass.

There are a total of 11 large cities in Nanyang County.

Moreover, Nanyang City belongs to the second-level county town, which is one level higher than Wushan City in Lin Yuan.

Tangzhou City and Dengzhou City are also first-class county seats.

The rest of the cities belong to the third-level county seats.

The degree of its prosperity can be imagined.
