The four words of burnt are no longer enough to describe the state of the city lord of Linchang and Yin Dongyao at this time.

Three days ago on the night, he received a briefing on the attack on King Xiaoming's escort in Qushui County, and then during the day, he got detailed information.

The one who rushed to attack the canal was the second battalion of Jinjia and Kuishan that should have been stationed at Dachong Pass in Liangzhou.

At that time, when Yin Dongyao saw this intelligence letter, his brain buzzed, and he sat on the chair for a long time.

The two old camps guarding the house, Dachong Pass is gone, and they are obviously going to King Xiao Ming to take such a big risk.

Yin Dongyao, who has been dealing with the Liang Army in the east for half his life, has a keen intuition, and he thinks that King Xiao Ming is definitely more than lucky this time.

Soon, the next secret letter confirmed his conjecture, and the intelligence showed that the second battalion of Jinjia and Kuishan had only rested for one night, and had already left Qushui County and returned to Dachongguan.

Yin Dongyao keenly judged that there were only two results in such a situation.

King Xiao Ming is either dead or captured.

There is no other possibility, if King Xiao Ming escapes, the two old battalions of the Liang army will definitely search the whole city, and they will not rest all night before setting off to return.

After thinking about this fact, Yin Dongyao seemed to have lost his soul, and he didn't eat or drink for a day and a night.

Just as he was pondering how to explain to Zhou Shikai, a battle report was delivered to his desk again.

The thousand-man cavalry team organized by Dingyuan City encountered an enemy army that appeared out of nowhere on the way to the Hegudao battlefield, and was almost completely annihilated.

At this moment, Yin Dongyao was completely panicked, and sent out more than a dozen teams of scouts in one day, asking them to thoroughly understand the situation and report back quickly.

But just now, before he could wait for the scout's return, he waited for news that had completely broken him.

A grain squad was robbed at Ba'an Mountain, and according to the soldiers who had fled, the enemy troops were scattered all over the mountains, at least tens of thousands.

This time, Yin Dongyao didn't have to wait for the scout to come back, and he could probably figure out what was going on.

After the Liang army raided the canal, it did not return to defend the Dachong Pass, but some of them continued to advance westward, with the purpose of cutting off the grain road, thus affecting the battle situation of the Hegu Road.

This series of bad news and murderous news made Yin Dongyao fall into an ice cellar, he felt that his future was dark, and he was afraid that it had become a luxury to save his life under the wrath of King Ming.

Just when he was without a master, General Liu Baiming, who was in charge of sitting in the rear of the Eastern Army, arrived, which made Yin Dongyao seem to grasp a life-saving straw and go out in a panic to greet him.

"Brother Liu, I'm looking forward to you."

Liu Baiming looked at Yin Dongyao's cowardly look, and secretly laughed in his heart, but he also put on an anxious appearance on the surface, turned over and dismounted in a panic, and almost rolled to the ground.

"Brother Yin, is it true about His Highness?"

In fact, Liu Baiming is a resolute inverted rock faction in the Eastern Army.

For this Xiao Ming King who can only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, fish and meat people, he Liu Baiming is a thousand and ten thousand to look down on, this time I heard that Zhou Yan's life and death are uncertain, he drank happily at home for two days.

But in front of Yin Dongyao, the city lord of Linchang who relied on his whiskers to take the throne, he still had to pretend to be grief-stricken, as if his own son was gone.

Yin Dongyao looked at Liu Baiming's appearance and secretly scolded him for being cunning and cunning, but he was not to be outdone, and he actually cried out loud with a grin.

"If Your Highness has three longs and two shorts, I won't be alive, I don't have the face to see Lord Ming."

Yin Dongyao, as the lord of Linchang City, is in charge of the government affairs of Jingqi Dao, no matter whether King Xiao Ming is dead or captured, he cannot escape the blame.

But the most important thing in front of him now is the problem of the grain road being cut off in Ba'an Mountain, if the eastern army fighting in the Hegu Road is cut off from food, then he will not have ten heads enough for Zhou Shikai to cut off.

As soon as Yin Dongyao talked about the grain robbery, Liu Baiming's expression instantly became solemn.

Originally, he had only heard about King Xiao Ming, but he didn't expect that the Liang army would actually kill the hinterland of Jingqi Dao, which made him feel tricky.

And unlike the attack on King Xiaoming, the grain road was cut off by the Liang army, and he, as a town guard, had to bear a lot of responsibility.

If the front-line soldiers are defeated because of the problem of transporting grain, then his Liu Baiming's good life will come to an end, after all, under the nest, An has finished his eggs.

Now, he, Liu Baiming, and Yin Dongyao have completely become grasshoppers on the same rope, and it is difficult to be a brother.

But at this time, Liu Baiming suddenly thought about it again, isn't this 10,000 Liang Army here to give him military merits?

In this battle of Hegudao, he was left behind in this big rear to watch his family, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, but now it's okay, Liang Jun ran to the door by himself.

At this time, there were 10,000 elites and 50,000 stragglers in Linchang City, Liu Baiming decided to leave only 10,000 stragglers to defend the city, and the rest went out with him to kill the enemy.

Fifty thousand against ten thousand, there is almost no possibility of defeat.

"Brother Yin, has the news of our grain truck been hijacked to Hegu Road?"

"Of course not, I'm ...... Didn't I think about discussing it with you, Brother Liu? News of His Highness's accident, I ...... I'm holding it down, too. ”

Liu Baiming sneered, "Hmph, how can Your Highness's affairs be suppressed?" If the prince finds out a few days later, will you be fine? ”

Yin Dongyao hurriedly said: "That...... So what to do? ”

"Hurry up and write a letter of guilt and send it to Hegu Road overnight. Then, we have to find a way to eat this Liang army in Ba'an Mountain, so that we can be regarded as guilty and meritorious! Otherwise, neither of us will want to live! ”

"Then General Liu is going to personally lead the troops to the battle?"

"Nonsense! Your own head, of course, must be protected by yourself! In a hurry, Liu Baiming no longer pretended to be polite to Yin Dongyao.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to write a letter of guilt, thank you General Liu for reminding me."

After speaking, Yin Dongyao was about to turn around and go to the study to write a letter, but was stopped by Liu Baiming again.

"Wait! There is another thing, you hurry up and arrange it, during this time, Linchang City implements a curfew, every day from midnight to the next day, the people are not allowed to go out of the house, violators will be arrested immediately! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll do it." Yin Dongyao, who was already completely panicked, only had a mess left in his head, and now he will only do whatever Liu Baiming says.

Looking at the city lord of Linchang who walked back to his house in despair, Liu Baiming spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "These literati are all fucking waste. ”

After saying that, a cavalryman in the distance quickly came to listen to the order.

"Pass my order, the defenders in Linchang City, all begin to assemble, I ask that before dark, the school field is assembled, and those who dare to delay will be engaged in military law!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of his subordinates leaving in a hurry, Liu Baiming felt a sense of pride in his heart for no reason.

He sits firmly in the top five positions in the Eastern Army, isn't he a Liang army of about 10,000 people, who don't know whether to live or die?

This cool army, he Liu Baiming is settled.

What he didn't expect was that Yin Dongyao had a hand in this matter.

Yin Dongyao didn't tell him that the Liang army team of nearly 10,000 people was most likely one of the old eight battalions of the Liang army.
