The reason why Jiazhou City was lost this time was because the Lin family looked down on this so-called rebel army. If Wang Yancheng embraced the city and held it, with the 4,000 people in his city, to be honest, it would not be easy for the Eastern Army to defeat it. Here, maybe Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing can rush to the city wall, and the four thousand people can basically consume them. On the city wall, Ye Pei opened fire and killed nearly two hundred people, which is already a rare record, and if four thousand people want to win with one or two people, it may need a figure who has become an immortal.

Even if Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing rushed forward to open a gap for the people behind, it would still be much easier for four thousand people to defend six thousand people. Three times as much as the enemy can forcibly attack the city, which means that as long as the number of troops defending the city is not less than one-third of the opponent's, then there is a chance to defend the opponent's strong attack.

But Wang Yancheng did not choose to do this, he chose to invite reinforcements to fight head-on. This time, the Lin clan's passive engagement caused them to not know who the invading enemy was. According to the tradition of the Dongfang Clan's generals, it is indeed unlikely that there will be any high-end combat power. It was this idea that allowed the Lin clan to eat the bitter fruits of their own seeds in the early days of the war.

When Zi Qingrong saw Ye Pei coming back covered in blood, her eyes were red and she was about to cry, Ye Pei hurriedly flashed to her side and said with a smile: "Don't cry, this is all other people's blood, not mine." ”

Ziqingrong held back her tears: "Really?"

Ye Pei said: "That must be true, do you look like I'm injured?"

Zi Qingrong thought about Ye Pei coming back alive, believed this statement, nodded and said, "That's okay, you go and change your clothes and I'll wash it for you, and the blood stains on your body can still be washed." ”

Ye Pei nodded and smiled: "Then thank you, madam, but let's pack up and prepare to enter the city first, there is still a group of troops waiting at the city gate." ”

Of course, Ye Pei's statement that she had no injuries on her body was fake, but they were all skin injuries that would not affect anything.

On the other side, Zhuang Tianlan also reacted similarly to Zi Qingrong, and Jiang Zhongqing, who had let go of the killing move, looked even weaker than Ye Pei, which made Zhuang Tianlan even more worried.

When Yang Tianrui arrived at the battlefield, the battle was nearing the end, Liu Ziwen told him the whole story in detail, and he also admired Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing even more. At this time, Yang Tianrui laughed and said, "Don't worry, two brothers and sisters, the two of them are very good." If it weren't for the two of them shining this time, whether they could win this battle would have to be talked about. ”

Ye Pei shook his hand: "Brother Yang has won the award, so let's quickly pack up and take over Jiazhou City." ”

At night, Dongfang Boyi, Yang Tianrui, Liu Ziwen, Ye Pei, Jiang Zhongqing, and several generals of the Xiao and Yin clans sat at the head of the city of Jiazhou and drank.

The people of Jiazhou City actually don't have anything to do with this. As the border city of the Lin clan's territory, they didn't taste much of the sweetness of the Lin clan's rule, and they didn't pay a penny less in taxes, and the matter of Dongfang Boyi also attracted the sympathy of the people, and they still had a good impression of this young lord of the East. The dilapidated golden branches and jade leaves are the easiest to attract the pity of the kind-hearted lower-class people. In addition, the Eastern Army did not enter the inner city after entering the city, and only high-level figures led a small number of troops to clear the remaining personnel of the Lin clan, so the people really had no reason to hate them.

"The following has already counted the losses in this battle, our army has lost 1,245 people this time, 539 seriously wounded, and more than 2,000 minor wounded. Liu Ziwen said.

Yang Tianrui nodded and said, "That is, there are still about four thousand available combat power left." ”

Ye Pei said: "Then I think we can stay in Jiazhou City for a while first. If 4,000 men forcibly continue to fight...... This Jiazhou city is unguarded, and the strength of 4,000 troops is also very limited, so it is easy for us to fall into a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. ”

Yang Tianrui nodded: "Brother Ye Xian is reasonable. Brother Jiang Xian, what do you think?"

Jiang Zhongqing shook his head and said, "I don't understand this, I just need to follow Brother Pei to fight." ”

Ye Pei smiled and continued, "We can't stay here to the death, then this crusade will have no meaning. First of all, we need to wait for the conscription of the Xiao clan and the Yin clan, and secondly, to win such a battle, we can already send envoys to contact other tribes that are not dealing with the Lin clan and invite them to send troops together. This battle can tell them that our combat power is extraordinary, and I believe that they have far fewer worries. Moreover, in the past, the Dongfang family had a very high reputation in the Lin family's territory, and the young master of the Dongfang family rose up, presumably those people would be very willing to respond. It's just that once such a large-scale alliance is formed, Brother Yang, you can't show up easily. ”

Yang Tianrui muttered: "I'm also thinking about this problem. Although only one of the top combat power of the Lin clan Lin Hezhi has died, there are still a lot of high-end combat power, and I will need to come forward sooner or later, but if I come forward to cause dissatisfaction among other tribes, it will be too variable. ”

Ye Pei thought for a few seconds and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry, I have a way." ”

"Oh?"

......

The night was already deep, a crescent moon was in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the battlefield in front of the city, as if it was beyond the heroic souls who died in battle under the sun, and even the large scarlet seemed to have become a little softer.

"Qingrong. ”

"Huh?"

Ye Pei and Zi Qingrong stood at the head of the city blowing the night breeze. The girl's fluttering hair is the most beautiful scenery in the world in the eyes of the teenager, and the dancing figure of the girl's clothes is the girl's most reassuring reliance.

"The next battle ...... What should you do?" Ye Pei looked into the distance, her eyes full of worry.

Zi Qingrong smiled: "I'll follow you, otherwise I won't be able to stay in the city you built." ”

Ye Pei showed a wry smile, "But it's not safe to follow me...... Even if you stay in the camp, where is it safe in the war? ”

Zi Qingrong thought for a while and said, "You will protect me, right?"

Ye Pei nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"

"That's good!" After Zi Qingrong finished speaking, he saw that Ye Pei still had a sullen look on his face, and asked, "Ye Zi, what else is going on?"

Ye Pei said slowly: "I'm thinking...... What should Dongfang Boyi do in this way? Although he will support him as a new king in the future, he has nothing to do during this time, how should he be this king in the future......

Zi Qingrong thought for a while and said, "I have some ideas about this. ”

Ye Pei showed a smile and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Zi Qingrong seemed to be a little cold, and leaned closer to Ye Pei, seeing this, Ye Pei untied the big curtain on his body and draped it on Zi Qingrong's body, Zi Qingrong smiled and said:

"What you're worried about is that he won't be able to convince the people, and he won't be popular with the people. Now, the people's sense of faith in the state is far less strong than that of God, so they can completely use the name of God. If his conquest was mandated by Providence, and his leadership was mandated by Providence, then it would have been easy for people to accept him as the new king.

This first requires his rhetoric to let the people know that he is under the mandate of heaven to control the Lin clan, so that he can capture the hearts of the people. Considering that the people are not easy to deceive, there will definitely be people who question how to get the destiny of heaven, if you can ask Dong Xingyan to show up, then there is a chance that this strategy will succeed.

Of course, when he talks flatteringly, he can't be full of what the destiny is, although the people believe in the star gods, they are always more concerned about their own problems. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the will of heaven with the will of the people, and the so-called heaven sees itself and the people see it, and heaven listens to itself and the people listen, and he must handle this point well. Of course, it's okay for me to write this bragging script for him. ”

When Zi Qingrong was saying this, she didn't look like the weak lady at all, but like a politician with hills and valleys in her chest and stars in her eyes.

Ye Pei's eyes lit up when she heard Zi Qingrong's big paragraph, hugged the beauty fiercely, and said with a smile: "Qingrong, I really didn't expect you to have such a political mind!"

Zi Qingrong returned to such a girlish appearance, and her pretty face was slightly red, "I didn't have a chance before...... You haven't talked to me about this kind of thing......"

Ye Pei smiled very happily and looked into the distance, "Although Dongfang Boyi is still like a puppet, he has already benefited a lot from this cooperation, and whether he can sit firmly in the position of this lord is his own business." It was my fiancée who surprised me more. ”

Ziqing looked at Ye Pei with a smile on her faces, and Shaoqing said, "Ye Zi, you haven't heard me play the piano yet." ”

Ye Pei turned around and said, "Hmm...... Although I see that you have always carried it with you, I really haven't heard you play. ”

Zi Qingrong said: "Wait." So the girl went down the wall, took her harp out of the tent, and returned.

Seeing Zi Qingrong sitting on a small stool fiddling with the piano, Ye Pei smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I still have a piano to give you, the legendary guqin, Lingzhou." ”

Zi Qingrong raised his head and said happily when he heard this: "Really, where is it?"

Ye Pei said: "When I left the river basin, I felt that life and death were uncertain, so I left Naqin in the Holy Sacrifice Domain......

"Oh...... That's ......."

Ye Pei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, tomorrow I will send someone to the Holy Sacrifice Domain, tell Chen Mo to bring the qin, and by the way, let him also bring some people to help me." ”

Zi Qingrong smiled and didn't speak, and then the jade finger stroked the long qin on his lap.

How to describe Zi Qingrong's piano skills?

Far away like the sound of the sky, close like a cyclamen.

The bubbling river water, the heart of a girl.

The iron horse unloads the armor, and the beacon fire scatters the embers.

There is Wen Yu under the moon, and only Fu Qing is in this life. - Ye Pei

The next day, a large number of messengers and messengers set out from Jiazhou to the various tribes. Another is going on a long journey to the Holy Sacrifice Domain. By the way, there was also a letter to the Holy Sacrifice Mountain, asking them to make way for the troops of the Holy Sacrifice Domain. Although Ye Pei was not sure whether Ni Manxiu was in the Holy Sacrifice Mountain, Ni Manxiu once said that Ye Pei's request would be met by the Holy Sacrifice Mountain as much as possible. Although Ni Manxiu was unhappy from top to bottom on the Holy Sacrifice Mountain, after all, he was still sitting in the position of the chief priest, and what he said still had a great effect on the Holy Sacrifice Mountain.
