"General, there is still one day's journey to reach the city of Donglin Yi." Jiao Nianzhu came over to tell him, and he also wanted to ask Qin Tianze's thoughts.

Qin Tianze was holding the map in his hand at this time, of course he knew where he should go, but he was thinking about where to fight.

"I know, I'm just wondering if Donglin is ready, if Yicheng doesn't have any troops, it can be easily taken." He looked at the map seriously and answered Jiao Nianzhu.

The trouble of taking the initiative to attack is to plan how to attack, and also to plan which city will be next, Qin Tianze prefers to compete with the enemy army on his own territory.

If it weren't for Zhao Yujiao, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask the emperor for orders to attack Donglin.

"General, then rest more tomorrow morning, and then attack Yicheng directly, you can camp there, and you can also see Duan Youshu's movements." Jiao Nianzhu said his thoughts.

Qin Tianze nodded, and then ordered: "There are also some newly trained soldiers here, and they all tell them that they should not disturb the people when they enter the city, and they will give me a share of An'an, if they are found to be bullying the people in the city, they will be dealt with by military law."

"Knowing the character of the general, I have already ordered this, and those veterans will also look at some new arrivals." Jiao Nianzhu has already arranged all of this.

Seeing that Jiao Nianzhu had already ordered all this, presumably the rest had been done, Qin Tianze was also relieved.

"Xie Ling'er is still obedient? Remember, you can't let her follow you to the battlefield tomorrow. "Qin Tianze still has to consider Xie Ling'er's safety now.

"How could I let her go to the battlefield with me, it's too dangerous, I can't afford to be responsible for an accident, Zhou Linmo is afraid that he wants to kill me." Jiao Nianzhu knew the measure, of course he wouldn't take Xie Ling'er with him.

Seeing him say this, Qin Tianze was also relieved, he was afraid that Jiao Nianzhu would be softly ground and hard by Xie Ling'er, so he agreed to him and brought Xie Ling'er to the battlefield.

He didn't think that Xie Ling'er was weak, he was afraid that Xie Ling'er would have an accident and make Zhou Linmo suffer.

"Do you have any news about Linmo?" As soon as Jiao Nianzhu went out and took Xie Ling'er on patrol, Xie Ling'er suddenly asked.

She has always been worried about Zhou Linmo in her heart, afraid that something will happen to him.

Hearing Xie Ling'er suddenly ask, Jiao Nianzhu shook his head, he didn't want to lie to her, it was Zhou Linmo who really didn't have any news.

He was now wondering if it was wrong to let him go alone, Jiao Nianzhu was also worried about him, but he still comforted Xie Ling'er, "It's okay if he's so smart, don't worry about him, he will definitely appear in front of you safely when the time comes." ”

Of course, his words could not dispel Xie Ling'er's worries, but he still smiled, "He is indeed smarter than you, but you must know that it is useless in the face of absolute force, but I believe that he will be fine." ”

Jiao Nianzhu didn't continue, but she was doubting herself: I'm not smart or stupid, why is her expression as if she was saying that I am a fool compared to him?

"I'm going to attack Yicheng tomorrow, Xie Ling'er I want you to remember, don't rush forward with them, you can't play a big role alone, don't have an accident with you when that guy from Linmo arrives." Jiao Nianzhu looked at Xie Ling'er very seriously.

His seriousness made Xie Ling'er nod unconsciously, and when he reacted later, he also knew that he couldn't make trouble at this time.

"I understand, I am content to be able to follow the army, I don't need to go forward and charge, and I also know that the general and you are for my safety." Xie Linger is not the kind of person who does not listen to persuasion.

"Then I'll rest assured, I still have business to deal with, so you can stay here."

"Am I not going to follow you?" Xie Ling'er is still unwilling.

Jiao Nianzhu explained: "I'm not going to patrol, I'm going to assign tasks."

Hearing his explanation, Xie Linger also stood where she was and didn't follow her, she knew that there were some things that she couldn't meddle in, and she didn't know how to meddle.

Noon on the second day

Jiao Nianzhu asked his subordinates to tell their soldiers that they would have enough for lunch, and the first battle would begin in the afternoon.

Yicheng

"What should we do, our 20,000 people, General Qin can easily attack it, and he is only three miles away from us." A man walked over worriedly.

Looking at his movements, the general defending the city only felt uncomfortable in his eyes, and immediately reprimanded: "It's annoying to turn around, can you make Qin Tianze withdraw from the army like this?" Dream that the emperor will fight this battle, and he won't send anyone here, how can I resist. ”

Speaking of the latter, his mood was not good all of a sudden, and for Qin Tianze's army, there was no resistance at all.

"Then what should we do, just wait for him to come and then the soldiers will fight desperately?" He began to panic, but after thinking about it, he still said his words, "General, or we surrender." ”

When the general defending the city heard this, he immediately said: "If we surrender, how can you let the people of Donglin talk about me and say that we surrender without a fight, are we cowards?"

These people pay attention to reputation, and if they really surrender, their reputation may be gone.

"But general, with our 20,000 people fighting hundreds of thousands, can we be famous for eternity if we are defeated? Maybe both of us have had our heads cut off. He said with a little sadness.

"General, don't you think about your family? Isn't it for the sake of the families of these 20,000 soldiers? Heaven and man are separated forever, and they will never be able to see each other. He then went on to add, disturbing the heart of the defending general.

Speaking of his family, the heart of the general guarding the city also began to waver, they had all heard of Qin Tianze's name as the god of war, and there was no one who did not cherish his life, but surrendered, he thought that he was scolded for no reason after all.

"General, maybe your surrender will make people say that you can bend and stretch, after all, there is no hope in this battle, and our resistance is a senseless struggle."

He just wanted the defending general to make a plan, so that he wouldn't follow these people to his death.

After hearing this person's words, the general defending the city was also completely shaken, of course he was unwilling to die, and then asked, "Is there really no one to blame us?"

The man immediately nodded.

"Okay, adjutant general, you can take the surrender letter and go to General Qin, I believe that General Qin is a person, he will not deal with the people in the city." The defending general also quickly made a decision to surrender.
