Ye Mingsheng would never have thought that while he was looking at Youyan in Liaoyang, Zhu Sanshan in the distant Dayashan Mountain in Hebei and Henan was quietly paying attention to him...

Although he was a little surprised that in his eyes, Ye Mingsheng, who had no real talent at all and only knew how to flatter his superiors, could actually lay such a large foundation in Youyan, Liaoyang, but this also inspired him, Zhu Sanshan,

Let him believe that if God gives him a chance, he can do better than Ye Mingsheng!

What Zhu Sanshan has to do now is to capture Yingcheng. He knows that the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the officials in Yingcheng will also start to collect grain. In the next month, Yingcheng will collect several grains.

One hundred thousand grains, after being collected, will be transported to Yujing as military rations for the Henan Army.

In today's troubled times, any feudal prince will implement the army-first policy and try his best to protect the food supply of his army. Therefore, even in a year of natural disaster, the share of food collected will not be reduced, which means that the share of food collected will not be reduced.

The overwhelmed farmers will suffer more oppression and exploitation. Under such circumstances, the farmers will undoubtedly be very angry!

And this is the opportunity Zhu Sanshan is waiting for. He wants to get this batch of military rations, capture Eagle City, and use it as a foundation to build an unparalleled achievement!

But Zhu Sanshan also knows very well that although he now has 10,000 people under his command, more than 80% of them are farmers who have just put down their hoes. It will take some time to form combat effectiveness, and there are many people in Eagle City.

A total of five thousand officers and soldiers...

Therefore, if he wants to win a complete victory and win this victory, he must plan carefully, make full use of the anger of the people, win the broadest support, arouse the inner resonance of the five thousand officers and soldiers in the city, and weaken their

Will to fight!

Jinzhong Governor's Mansion

"Master Zhao, what is the situation in the city now?" Liang Hao asked Zhao Jianan anxiously:

Although Luo'an had expected that the Fengwu Army would continue to advance westward, what they did not expect was that the Fengwu Army would move so quickly. Less than a month after the battle at Youyan ended, the Fengwu Army marched towards Jinzhong.

Launch an attack.

This completely goes against Luo'an's strategic predictions. The important ministers and think tanks around Shangguan Hongyuan generally believe that the Fengwu Army needs at least two months of rest before it can reorganize its troops and march westward. Now the Fengwu Army is using

Actions showed them how wrong they were.

After discussing with Zhao Jianan, Liang Hao was ready to leave, but at this moment the Fengwu Army rushed forward and launched an offensive towards Jinzhong. After learning the news, Liang Hao was shocked and subconsciously thought

We need to leave Jinzhong as soon as possible, but considering that the Fengwu Army is advancing very fast, if we leave the city now, we are likely to encounter the Fengwu Army outside the city.

You must know that the Fengwu Army respects the Southern Patrol Court of Sichuan and Shu as the world's orthodoxy, so this means that they and the Fengwu Army are enemies. In addition, they are originally targeting the Fengwu Army this time, so once they are captured as prisoners of war,

If it falls into the hands of the Fengwu Army, you can imagine what the outcome will be!

Just when Liang Hao was wondering whether to run away, Lin Huaiwu's second division had already reached the gates of Jinzhong City, completely blocking the road out of the city, leaving only one answer to the multiple-choice question before Liang Hao.

!

Now the first thing Liang Hao does when he wakes up every day is to pray to God that the Fengwu Army will not attack the city, and that Zhao Jianan and the Yan Army can force back the Fengwu Army's offensive...

·············

After listening to Liang Hao's words, Zhao Jianan, who looked solemn, sighed and said:

"Mr. Liang, the current situation in Jinzhong is better than expected, but it is not optimistic either!"

Hearing what Zhao Jianan said, Liang Hao had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. Zhao Jianan continued to introduce:

"Information from the scouts shows that currently only the Second and Seventh Divisions of the Fengwu Army are attacking Jinzhong, with a total of about 40,000 troops. However, the more than 10,000 people of the Seventh Division are mainly on the periphery of Jinzhong.

Provide cover for the 2nd Division and protect the flanks of the 2nd Division. Currently, only Lin Huaiwu’s 2nd Division is mainly attacking the city!"

"Lin Huaiwu originally wanted to win a quick victory and catch us by surprise. The Fengwu Army's offensive in the past two days was very fierce. The four walls were their main attack points. Although we withstood the Fengwu Army's fierce attack, we were all

Heavy losses and huge casualties!”

"After we thwarted the Fengwu Army's attempt to win a quick victory, they have now changed their strategy and stopped their frontal assault. Instead, they used their red-coated artillery to bombard and harass us. Although this caused very few casualties to us, it still caused little damage to us.

It had a huge impact on the morale of the army. I organized death squads several times to destroy the artillery positions of the Fengwu Army, but all failed and ended up with a lot of casualties...

·”

At this point, Zhao Jianan paused, raised his head and looked at Liang Hao and said very sincerely:

"Mr. Liang, do you think you can write a letter to General Feng Han in Jinyang and ask him to send troops from Jinyang to support us? Although our Yan army is united now, we are short of food and medicine. If this continues, we will not be able to hold on for much longer.

Long time!"

Hearing what Zhao Jian'an said, Liang Hao was constantly weighing in his mind. Considering his own safety, of course he wanted to agree to Zhao Jian'an's request and let Feng Han send troops to help, but he also knew very well that he was not that big.

With his influence, he could get Feng Han to send troops with just a letter. If he wanted to get Feng Han to send troops, he would have to have Shangguan Hongyuan's order!

As Shangguan Hongyuan's brother-in-law, he certainly knew that Luo'an's strategic focus was now all on Sichuan and Shu. Shangguan Hongyuan was now obsessed with killing the southern patrol court and regaining control of the emperor and the princes.

Therefore, at this stage, Luo'an definitely does not want to open a second battlefield and conflict with the now unstoppable Fengwu Army before the southern patrol court is resolved. This is also the reason why Luo'an wants to support Zhao Jianan.

, they want Zhao Jianan to be a firewall with Fengwu Army.

Therefore, if Feng Han sends troops now to support Zhao Jian'an, he will undoubtedly provoke a conflict with the Fengwu Army. Once the conflict between the two parties expands, it will inevitably affect Luo An's overall strategy of annihilating the Southern Patrol Court.

, then no one knows how the situation will develop next...

But if we ignore Zhao Jian'an's life and death and sit back and watch the Fengwu Army capture Jinzhong, then no one knows what the Fengwu Army is thinking. If the Fengwu Army stops after capturing Jinzhong, it will naturally be a blessing in misfortune, but if

After they captured Jinzhong, if they still want to continue to advance westward, they must not let the Fengwu Army capture Jinzhong too easily!

Therefore, the top priority is to understand the Fengwu Army’s combat intentions. As long as this is understood, the next step can be targeted!

Thinking of this, Liang Hao had a bold idea. Although the Fengwu Army was ferocious, judging from their performance, they were still very disciplined. As long as he carried the banner of Luo'an's envoy, not only his own life safety could be guaranteed, but also his own safety could be guaranteed.

He might even be sent out of the country as a gift. Wanting to understand this, Liang Hao took a deep breath and said to Zhao Jianan:

"I will write a letter to General Feng in Jinyang and introduce him to the situation here truthfully, but it is not up to me to decide whether he can send troops to help!"

"In addition, I plan to send an envoy to the Fengwu Army's military camp to tell them that General Zhao has surrendered to the imperial court. If the Fengwu Army launches another attack on Jinzhong City, it will be regarded as a provocation to the imperial court. Chief Assistant

Ye Mingsheng cannot bear your lord's overwhelming anger!"

At the end, Liang Hao spoke even more solemnly. Zhao Jianan was elated when he said it, with a light of hope shining in his eyes. With only one lonely city left, of course he understood that his last life-saving straw was the reinforcements from Luo'an, although even if

Even if Luo'an sends troops, it may not be able to defeat the Fengwu Army, but if Luo'an does not send troops, then the fall of Jinzhong is inevitable!

In the face of a life-and-death crisis, Zhao Jianan didn't care about dignity and dignity, and simply bowed deeply to Liang Hao and said:

"Then everything will get rid of Mr. Liang!"

···························

···························

While Liang Hao and Zhao Jian'an were discussing countermeasures, a scribe in blue shirt, escorted by a group of Fengwu troops, walked into the Fengwu Army camp ten miles outside the city.

"Tell the general, the people from the coordination office are here!"

Lin Huaiwu, who was staring at the sand table attentively, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes and ordered in a deep voice:

"Bring him here!"

"yes!"

Following Lin Huaiwu's order, the blue-shirted scribe slowly walked into the tent, bowed to Lin Huaiwu and said:

"Zhang Cen of the Hundred Households of the Coordination Office has met General Lin!"

Lin Huaiwu said directly:

"No need to be polite, what is the situation in Jinzhong City now?"

Although Ye Mingsheng did not say anything explicitly about the Jinzhong War this time, Lin Huaiwu also understood Ye Mingsheng's hint. With his current military exploits, he was directly promoted to the position of commander of the Second Army. It was really a bit reluctant, and he would also be there.

It caused a lot of controversy in the army, so Ye Mingsheng gave him a chance to prove himself!

If Jinzhong is successfully won in this battle, the dispute can be eliminated, and Ye Mingsheng can promote him to the commander of the Second Army, allowing him to be on an equal footing with Yuan Song and Guo Zhiping...

···············

Before launching the attack, Lin Huaiwu was still very confident in attacking Jinzhong. In his opinion, the Yan army had been defeated by Fengwu's army and their morale had dropped to the bottom. This time they attacked Jinzhong.

It’s all at your fingertips, without any suspense!

In the first half of the war, just as Lin Huaiwu thought, the remnants of the Yan Army, who had been frightened by the Fengwu Army, did not put up an effective resistance at all. The Fengwu Army took only two days to continuously capture six of the Yan Army's

They set up a military stronghold and fought directly to the foot of Jinzhong City.

The complacent Lin Huaiwu originally thought that capturing Jinzhong City would be as easy and enjoyable as before, so he started to attack directly, but unexpectedly he hit a snag. He lost more than a thousand people in two days, but still nothing like that.

We won Jinzhong as smoothly as expected.

Seeing this scene, Lin Huaiwu began to realize that something was wrong. He immediately changed his strategy, used red cannons to harass, and then prepared to use the power of the Seventh Division and the Coordination Office to conquer Jinzhong City.

Facing Lin Huaiwu's inquiry, Zhang Cen said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:

"Report to General Lin. Our Coordination Office has received the latest information. Shangguan Hongyuan's confidant Liang Hao is also in Jinzhong City at the moment!"

Lin Huaiwu frowned slightly and asked:

"I have also heard about Liang Hao. What is he doing in Jinzhong City?"

Zhang Cen continued to introduce:

"Shangguan Hongyuan intended to win over Zhao Jian'an and let him stop our army's possible westward advance, so he sent Liang Hao to have a detailed discussion with Zhao Jian'an. It is said that Liang Hao and Zhao Jian'an have already negotiated the details of cooperation, but because of me

The sudden attack by the army has caused Liang Hao to be trapped in Jinzhong City now..."

Hearing what Zhang Cen said, Lin Huaiwu's eyes became serious. This old Shangguan thief has also begun to interfere in Jinzhong's affairs. So in order to avoid long nights and long dreams, it seems that Jinzhong must be captured as soon as possible!

After observing Lin Huaiwu's expression, Zhang Cen continued to introduce:

"Our Coordination Office has made some arrangements in Jinzhong City. The affairs of Liang Hao and Zhao Jian'an will soon be made public. I believe this can cause a certain amount of chaos within the Yan Army!"

Hearing what Zhang Cen said, Lin Huaiwu seemed a little dissatisfied and asked:

"Now that the Yan army is in such a critical situation, can your Coordination Office bribe the general in Jinzhong and ask him to open the city gate and let us in?"

Zhang Cen shook his head and said:

"Because the Yijing City was destroyed before, Zhao Jian'an has already been wary of this matter. Not only are the guards at the city gate all his trusted people, but they are also supervising in pairs to prevent anyone from rebelling. However, our Coordination Office is also actively promoting it.

, we will do our best to achieve our goals!”

"But even if we fail in the end, we still have backup plans!"

"Backhand?"

Lin Huaiwu asked in surprise:

Zhang Cen nodded and explained:

"Well, because we were worried that Zhao Jian'an would destroy the materials in the warehouses in the city when the city was destroyed, we bribed the personnel of the Yan army in charge of guarding the warehouses in advance. The warehouses in the city now store all the grain and gunpowder of the Yan army.

Waiting for other supplies, if it is the last resort, we can set this warehouse on fire. Once the supplies in the warehouse are lost, the Yan army will not be able to continue to hold on...
