Li Chongshan could already see the tall city walls of Yancheng in the distance amid the heavy snow.

Li Chongshan turned to Batusu who had been following him closely and said: "Lin Jianyue is in this city. Marshal Ba, what do you think he is thinking? Is it excitement, fear, or helplessness? I really want to meet Lin Jianyue.

, but I guess he doesn’t have the courage.”

Batusu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Han people have a game called chess. I have seen your Majesty play with the envoys of the Qin Dynasty. I also like this game very much. There is a rule in it, that is, the king cannot meet the king, otherwise he will

The winner has been decided and it's over. Of course, comparing Lin Jianyue to a king is a way of exalting him. How can he be compared with His Majesty?"

Li Chongshan didn't care and said: "I heard Didi Shiha say that Uncle Su Hedai and Lin Jianyue met on the battlefield, so how could they meet? It couldn't be that Lin Jianyue used some magic! So Su Hedai

My uncle was defeated and died."

"At that time, Lin Jianyue was still far away from the title of king. He could only be a general. Of course, generals and generals could meet. Your Majesty, as long as everything goes well, right here, at this moment, your Majesty will be blessed by the eternal heaven.

But if you beat Lin Jianyue from king to general, maybe Lin Jianyue will surrender? Then I must congratulate Your Majesty."

Li Chongshan laughed loudly and felt that it would be very appropriate to let Batusu control the Central Plains in the future. His decision was very wise. It was obvious that Batusu understood the Han people and their culture better than Hachi.

Lin Jianyue in the city was neither excited nor scared, but worried.

He was afraid that Sun Zhengyi would not fully understand what he meant, but would use Pu Jinzhong's troops as bait and victims. In that case, Sun Zhengyi's military power would be restricted in the future. Such people are very dangerous. Lin Jianyue is not willing to do this, and Sun Zhengyi is unwilling to do so.

Zhengyi is a talent, not an ordinary talent. His strategy and military strategy are much better than those of other generals. He will be of great use in attacking the north in the future. It will be difficult for Lin Jianyue to find someone like Sun Zhengyi again.

"Mr. Liu, with Sun Zhengyi's ability and the current favorable conditions, defeating Ha He's army is not a big problem. The key is that after the defeat, should he come here to join forces to attack Li Chongshan or directly attack Kaifeng Fufeng to the north?

Living in Li Chongshan’s retreat?”

"Your Highness, Sun Zhengyi has about 120,000 men. After defeating Hahe, let's count it as 100,000. The 40,000 cavalry plus Zhou Qing's 45,000 troops total less than 200,000 people. They cannot stop Li Chongshan.

It is very likely to cause heavy losses, so I suggest that we bring Li Fei back and jointly attack Li Chongshan, which is safer."

"I think if I keep dragging Li Chongshan like this, he must be waiting for Li Fei's cavalry to come over, and also waiting for Long Jie's Wuwei Army to come over, so that we can decide the outcome in a battle. If it doesn't go as he wishes, Li Fei and I won't

Prepare to be transferred back. There are no large groups of enemy troops on Jingdong Road that can be ignored. Let Sun Zhengyi and Li Fei directly

Join forces and sweep across Kaifeng Prefecture. If Li Chongshan dares to run away, I will attack with the whole army and fight Li Chongshan with Sun Zhengyi in the wild. Even if there will be heavy losses, we will definitely be able to cripple Li Chongshan and attack the northern resistance in the future.

It’s not big, and such an opportunity may not come again in the future.”

Liu Bingyun shook his head and said: "I don't know why Your Highness is so anxious. Now, there is no need to be anxious, let alone take such a big risk. To be honest with Your Highness, I originally wanted to threaten Pu Jinzhong with superior force after defeating Hahe, but I have no choice but to

Xiong and other leading generals responded, and they will be able to solve all the dissidents north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River in one fell swoop.

How much potential will we have at that time? Even if Jiangnan does not support it, we can still complete the great cause of expelling the Tartars. Li Chongshan is shameless and he can run away! In the end, it will inevitably fail, not to mention that by then, the Jinning Army and the Liu family will have

To solve the problem in Hedong, no matter in every aspect, we have reversed the situation and gained the upper hand."

Lin Jianyue sighed: "Mr. Liu, do you know how big the grassland is? It is really too big. How long will it take for us to train cavalry that can compete with Li Chongshan on the grassland? No matter how strong the infantry is on the grassland, it is not that big.

Where to use them. If Li Chongshan's core main force can be eliminated in the Central Plains at once, even if he can train so many in the future, his combat power will inevitably be severely reduced. At that time, even if it is an all-cavalry duel, there is still a chance of winning."

Lin Jianyue only explained the reasons for doing so, and did not explicitly oppose the move to remove Pu Jinzhong from military power. Liu Bingyun couldn't help but be overjoyed, it would be easier to handle now.

Liu Bingyun knew that once Sun Zhengyi's identity was clear and Jingdong Road was cleared again, it would be difficult for Li Chongshan. Batusu would definitely persuade Li Chongshan to immediately withdraw his troops and return to Hebei. No matter what choice he made, it was impossible to retain Li Chongshan.

Lin Jianyue delayed it for so long. Son Zhengyi's role was originally intended to be used on Li Chongshan, but in Liu Bingyun's view, it would be better to use it on Pu Jinzhong.

No nonsense, Li Chongshan first surrounded Yancheng and immediately sent out many small troops. Dozens or even hundreds of rangers went out to burn, kill and loot. As soon as the infantry siege equipment arrived, he immediately began to attack the city, throwing stones.

They had all the machines, which shows how well Li Chongshan was prepared for this battle. As soon as Lin Jianyue's troops and materials were almost exhausted, the cavalry entered the city to massacre the city.

In Wuyang County, which is more than a hundred miles behind Yancheng, Ma Yan stood on the top of the city and saw at least four or five teams of hundreds of horsemen roaring past. They couldn't come to attack the county town. Ma Yan sneered secretly.

In Wuyang and Xiping, the two counties closest to Yancheng, each village did not have only farmers with no military experience.

Instead, many experienced defenders and stocks of swords and guns were transferred from Caizhou, Xuzhou and other further rear counties to join the villagers to organize the people. As long as there are leaders and command, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and the three groups organized

The people of the four villages, with the help of geographical terrain and preparation in advance, can definitely deal a heavy blow to these barbarians.

After learning that Li Chongshan was besieging Yancheng first, Ma Yan immediately rushed from Caizhou to Wuyang County and Xiping County behind Yancheng. He also asked Lin Jianyue for help. He was very good at recruiting troops and successfully led people to burn grain in Kaifeng.

Chen Qu is in Wuyang, and Chen Qu is in Xiping.

Beijing North Road is so big and it is impossible to organize all the young and strong militiamen in the countryside in such a short time, but there is a way to organize the area around Yancheng. Ma Yan thought that as long as he gave Hu Qi a head-on attack when he first came out

, that will inevitably make it converge, and then slowly expand the scope backwards with Yancheng, Xuzhou, and Chenzhou as the center. In the end, it will be difficult for the barbarians to move forward, they will not be able to grab a grain, and there will be heavy losses.

Mengzhai Town, north of Wuyang, has gathered young and strong people from five villages, equipped with swords and guns, and even some armor, but most of them are homemade rattan armor. The people are not in the town, but are scattered and ambushed outside the town.

In the large and small woods, ditches and tunnels, horse trap tunnels were dug along the main thoroughfares outside the town, and were paved with trees and soil. Just waiting for the horsemen to enter the town to rob, they would be disguised so that they could not enter.

There are still smart people in the town who light fires and smoke to make noise. All the wells in the town are poisoned. There are definitely not a few grains. At most, there are a few chickens in conspicuous places to lower the vigilance of the barbarians. It can be seen that

He also has experience and ability in leading young and strong people.

The Hu people came, and there were actually hundreds of them. Naturally, they rushed into the town without hesitation. There was no one or anything, and the Hu people were not stupid. They knew it was a trap, and when they were about to withdraw, their horses fell into the pit.

, there was a panic, the surrounding houses were on fire, and hunting arrows and javelins kept shooting outside the town. The barbarians are also human beings. In the panic, they

How long can we hold on? In less than half a day, the entire army of several hundred people was wiped out. Of course, the young and strong people were also seriously injured. However, the people who survived this short encounter were different. Victory is victory. They will bring their experience and courage to more villages and towns.
