Xing Fengchi looked at Lin Jianyue who was approaching on horseback in a trance, he knew that Lin Jianyue was very young, but such a young man made Xing Fengchi a little unbelievable, he was just a head at this age, but Lin Jianyue was the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Xing Fengchi is one of the core leading generals of the Liu family in the Hedong Han Army, with nearly 20,000 troops, and it is extraordinary to be valued so much by Liu Jingye, and his ability is not small. Lin Jianyue, as the head of the anti-Hu army, dared to enter Hedong like this, Xing Fengchi was very impressed, without strong ability and strategic courage, he couldn't do it, Xing Fengchi felt that he couldn't do it in Lin Jianyue's position.

Xing Fengchi is going to lead Lin Jianyue's horse, but Lin Jianyue will let Xing Fengchi do this? He jumped off the horse and walked side by side with Xing Fengchi, Liu Yu and others to the city.

"I often hear General Xing's name mentioned by Commander Liu Yu, and he has a lot of respect for the general! In the future, we can fight side by side, I wonder if General Xing is willing to succumb to serve in the Jinning Army? ”

Xing Fengchi replied respectfully: "It is my honor to be able to fight under the command of the Jieshuai, from the reconstruction of the Jinning Army, we can see the eloquence of the Jieshuai, Batusu is the most famous general among the Hu people, and he can only eat ashes in front of the Jieshuai, I believe that the Jieshuai will lead us to restore the Han land to dominate the world." ”

Lin Jianyue stretched out his hands to Xing Fengchi, and Xing Fengchi held each other tightly. Xing Fengchi liked Lin Jianyue's way of accepting him like this.

"Where is General Xing's family? Need to pick it up as soon as possible. Now that he has joined the Jinning Army, he can no longer be under the control of the Hu people. Now in the Central Plains, we can't completely defeat the Hu people, General Liu has a special status, and he can't rebel against Menghu for the time being, and I can't completely guarantee the safety of the Liu family in Hedong. Only after I really defeat Li Chongshan, can the Liu family return, I hope General Xing can understand, and I will also go to Taiyuan to see General Liu in person to apologize. ”

"Everything is subject to the arrangement of the marshal, I believe the Liu family will also understand the marshal." Xing Fengchi was very happy that Lin Jianyue was so straightforward and unconcealed.

After taking a turn on the city wall of Pingyao, Lin Jianyue was very satisfied with this place, and the next thing was how to fight and how to expand the army.

"At present, Liu Hesheng has 40,000 heavy infantry troops there, and I also have 40,000 cavalry here, and I have preliminary self-protection strength in Hedong. However, the Jinzhong region and Taiyuan Prefecture were the core places that the Hu people could not give up, and could not be used as the foundation of the Jinning army. The news of my arrival in Pingyao will soon be known to Batusu, and he will have to come to me, unless he does not want to go to Taiyuan Mansion in Jinzhong. If they come from Fenshui and Fenzhou, we will go to Lund Mansion and conquer Lund Mansion. If we come from the direction of Longdefu, we will go back to Jinju along the Fenshui River, which is to take the Taiyue Mountain area as the grinding heart circle. ”

This is Lin Jianyue's biggest advantage in fighting in different places in Hedong, there is no place that must be saved and protected, and he doesn't care about one city and one place, while Batusu is the opposite. No matter how strong you are, if I don't meet you head-on, you can't help me, you can only run for your life.

"General Xing, I want to appoint you as the deputy commander of the Jinning Army, and Liu Hesheng will lead half of the main infantry force each, and Liu Yu and Li Jiyong's cavalry corps will cooperate in the center, and they will be around the Taiyue Mountains to deal with Batusu. Now that you have 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is best to expand your army to 3 to 40,000 during this gap. I will go to Taiyuan to see General Liu as soon as possible, and the Liu family will fully support you. ”

Xing Fengchi was very excited, if such a tactic was implemented, it would drag Batusu thin and annoying, and the opportunity would come, even if he transferred troops from Hebei again, he couldn't help but be able to help the Jinning army, Xing Fengchi couldn't help but be eager to try, full of confidence.

"In the end, I plan to capture the southwest corner of the plain basin in the east of the river such as Ci, Jiang, and Zezhou as the foundation of the Jinning army, backed by the Yellow River, bordering the northwest road of Beijing, and connecting them into a piece, and can get the support of our Yellow River naval army and the Central Plains army. If this continues, Hedong will inevitably attract and drag a large number of troops from the Hu people, and can also isolate the Hu army in Guanzhong, and the entire strategic advantage will be obvious. ”

Xing Fengchi thought about it carefully, so that victory was in sight, and immediately said: "Once the goal said by the commander is achieved, the Liu family can officially raise a counter-flag to recover Hedong, and they can also threaten Hebei, and the Central Plains can also launch a large-scale counterattack." It's really good, defeating the Hu people is just around the corner. ”

Lin Jianyue smiled: "How can it be so easy? Do you know how many Hu army there were in the Central Plains, Hebei, Hedong, and Guanzhong in Han alone? More than a million! Outside the Guan, troops can be transferred at any time, and before I get the manpower and material resources of Jiangnan, I still can't beat the Hu people, such as Hedong, and it is the limit to be able to raise about 150,000 to 200,000 troops. You can't be ambitious, you can take it one step at a time, you need to keep accumulating momentum, you can't rush forward, but I'm confident that I'll win in the end. ”

After besieging the city for half a month, Lin Jianyue never appeared, and Batusu already felt a little bad.

Soon he received news from Jinzhong that Lin Jianyue had occupied Pingyao County, an important town in Jinzhong, and threatened Taiyuan Mansion.

Batusu couldn't help but sigh, Su Hedai failed not unjustly, Lin Jianyue seized the opportunity and the fighter was too strong, he actually dared not to hide in the Taiyue Mountains, but to go around in circles with himself on the outside line, and adopt such a combat method, it can be said that he used his strengths and advantages to the extreme, with the complex and changeable terrain of Hedong, Batusu understood that his existing military strength could not help Lin Jianyue.

The army can not hold on for a long time outside, and Taiyuan in Jinzhong cannot give up, with the current situation of troops, it can only shrink the defense, avoid being broken by each one, and hold the most important Taiyuan Jinzhong Longde Mansion.

Batusu was very angry, the Han people were still unreliable, they had entered the Han land for so many years, and they still hadn't really conquered the hearts of the Han people, otherwise Lin Jianyue's first army would not have been able to hold out for so long near the poor Taiyue Mountains, and the more he fought, the more he fought, it must have been supported by the local gentry in Hedong.

Batusu is one of the supreme commanders of Menghu, this time to Hedong actually has a big strategic purpose, as long as Lin Jianyue is surrounded or defeated Lin Jianyue, the Longjie army of the Central Plains Xinyang Army will move, once they move or cross the river to support Lin Jianyue, there is a chance to annihilate Lin Jianyue's department in one fell swoop, before leaving Batusu told Li Chongshan his thoughts, Guanzhong Kaifeng and even Hebei have made corresponding preparations, but unfortunately even when Lin Jianyue is in danger, the main force remaining in the Central Plains is still as stable as Mount Tai, motionless.

After thinking about it, Batusu found that he still had one last chance, and immediately recruited the deputy general Mu Chun, asking him to lead tens of thousands of foot soldiers to stop the siege of Yueyang County, and hurry to Yindiguan and nearby Huoyi County, and be sure to hold it for one to two months. At the same time, he ordered Aricha to abandon Cizhou, lead the army back to Ji County on the border between Longdefu and Jinzhou, form a line with Dieshuha, and keep an eye on the main force of the first army of the Longjie Army in the Taiyue Mountains, and if they dare to come out, they will unite with Mu Chun to defeat them. He led the main force of the Hu army to fight back to Jinzhong in the same direction of Lin Jianyue's march to find Lin Jianyue for a decisive battle.

This is to make the greatest use of the terrain and troops, but unfortunately the only thing he missed was the more than 10,000 Han troops who came from Jinzhong to work and did not make efforts, and they failed.
