He Huanzhi's army went out for more than half a month. During this period, the 50,000 Qiannan troops he led successively recovered 12 cities in three prefectures of Xinggu County, and their numbers continued to increase. The lost land recovered accounted for half of Xinggu County.
.
News of the retrieval of lost territory from the front continued to spread, and He Huanzhi's reputation gradually improved. People began to appear among the people to blame him. The reason for these people was very simple. They claimed that He Huanzhi's defeat earlier was due to a sneak attack by the Dali rebels and a hasty attack.
Fighting will lead to defeat.
Now that preparations are sufficient, the rebels have been defeated and fled. In just over half a month, Xinggu County has taken over half of the county. Some people predict that within one month, Xinggu County will be recovered, and within two months, all the territory will be lost.
recover.
Seeing that the recovery of the lost territory of Xinggu County was close at hand, Anyi City was full of joy and laughter. By coincidence, the quarrel between Ling Yun and He Huanzhi was also revealed by someone who was interested. However, this time the trend changed drastically, and most people began to lean towards He Huanzhi.
Some extreme people spoke rudely to Ling Yun and even exchanged harsh words... They seemed to have forgotten who helped them repel the rebel vanguard and who forced Li Xiuran to die in battle.
The most unbelievable thing is that some people secretly threw things, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even feces and urine at the soldiers guarding the city... just because they were not Qiannan soldiers, and because their chief general had had a bad time with He Huanzhi.
...Fortunately, Ling Yun had previously issued an order not to harass the people, so the Nanyi Army did not fight back, but in the end, it was the officers and soldiers of the Nanyi Army who suffered.
When Ling Yun knew the news, he was naturally furious. He secretly found out who was in charge. Finally, he found out the truth and found out that this incident was all caused by He Huanzhi.
He Huanzhi was at the front, but he was unwilling to settle down. He sent people back to spread the word about the war at the front to the people, in order to completely clear his reputation, and deliberately discredited the Nanyi Army and encouraged the people to go south.
The Yi army defenders threw dirty things.

The soldiers who defended the city were humiliated. After learning the whole story, Ling Yun wished he could kill He Huanzhi, but due to his identity and the fact that he was leading troops to fight in the front, he had no choice but to give up.
If we can't catch the culprit, but if we catch the person spreading rumors, isn't it easy to catch him?
As a result, Ling Yun ordered that the leader of the rumor spread be arrested and tortured, making his life worse than death.
In addition, all those who throw things will be caught and severely punished depending on the seriousness of the case.
In this way, this matter has been settled, and those who are interested do not dare to openly provoke, and at most they will curse behind their backs.
When He Huanzhi knew that all the people he sent out had been taken over by Ling Yun, he gritted his teeth in hatred. However, this matter was his fault, and he did not dare to openly settle the score with Ling Yun. He could only grit his teeth, swallow it in his stomach, and bear it alone.
One month after He Huanzhi's expedition, all Xinggu County was recovered. The people in southern Guizhou were elated and celebrated throughout the city. The people also continued to brag about He Huanzhi's ability to lead the army.
Just when the people in southern Guizhou thought that He Huanzhi would be able to regain all the lost land in southern Guizhou in two months, the war ahead quietly took a surprising turn, catching everyone by surprise.
"Master Yun, it's not good..."
Not knowing what happened, Guo Yixiu rushed to Ling Yun's study and heard his voice before he saw him.

When Guo Yixiu entered the door, Ling Yun couldn't help but tease, "What on earth is going on? It makes you so anxious?"
Guo Yixiu took a breath and said, "Master Yun, something big is happening ahead."
"If you have something, please tell me slowly!"
Ling Yun still kept smiling and remained calm.
Guo Yixiu took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried his best to calm down, "Master Yun, something big happened. He He Huanzhi, for some reason, was ambushed by the rebels. An army of 50,000 to 50,000 was defeated by an army of 20,000 rebels.
The army was defeated. According to reports from our people, the battlefield ahead was littered with corpses. The Qiannan Army suffered heavy losses and only less than 3,000 people escaped."
"What? You mean..." Ling Yun's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, obviously shocked by the sudden news.
Then he lowered his head and muttered, "The 50,000-strong army in southern Guizhou was ambushed by the rebels, and only less than 3,000 people escaped?"
After digesting it, Ling Yun raised his head and asked with suspicion, "Yi Xiu, is this...is it true?"
Guo Yixiu nodded heavily, "General, it's absolutely true. Our spies witnessed it with our own eyes."
The news of a victory in the battle was still being sent back, and now the bad news of the defeat was sent back. One after the other, the contrast was like a chasm, which was unbelievable. Even if his spies saw it with his own eyes, Ling Yun still insisted on this news.
Skeptical attitude.

But what happened next forced him to believe it.
"General, General Wu wants to see you!"
Li Jianhui's voice floated in from the door. Hearing these words, Ling Yun's heart sank to the bottom.
Wu Feichen's request for a meeting is most likely the same as Guo Yixiu's.
Think for a moment and let go of your emotions.
"Let's go to the front room!"
As he said that, the two of them walked towards the front hall one after another.
"General, trouble, trouble..."
As soon as Ling Yun entered the front hall, Wu Feichen saw this and immediately walked up, muttering as he walked.
"General Wu says what he has to say directly."
Ling Yun still hoped in his heart that Wu Feichen came to him for the same thing as Guo Yixiu.
"General, a great defeat, our army has suffered a great defeat!"
Wu Feichen looked up to the sky with eternal hatred, his chest was broken and he stamped his feet.
Ling Yun's expectant heart dropped sharply, and he paused and said, "Please tell me in detail, General Wu, please!"
Wu Feichen used his hands and feet and said emotionally, "I said from the beginning that He Huanzhi is a waste, and his ability to lead troops is worthless. They just don't believe it, they don't believe it... Now, 50,000 troops, a total of 50,000 troops...
Damn it, damn it, as a general, he was defeated and captured, why didn't he hang himself?"
The more Wu Feichen talked, the more excited he became. He wished he could kill He Huanzhi. He only heard him say, "How can He Huanzhi, a loser, have the face... to be captured? If I were at the scene and didn't say a word, even if it was dealt with by military law, it would be impossible."
He must be shot dead. This shameful guy is simply a disgrace to our Qiannan Army..."
