Wang Dongxu agreed so readily. Unexpectedly, the original conversation made Ling Yun think that this guy would be difficult to deal with. He never expected that he agreed to his proposal with just a few words.
Ling Yun chuckled and said with a smile on his face, "Since General Wang has no objection, let's send troops!"
Why did Ling Yun have to attack Liaocheng? This is because the Mang army occupied Liaocheng. Without the barrier of Liaocheng, the Daqian army could not stop the Mang army's cavalry. The current situation of the Mang army was equivalent to taking the initiative in the war. As long as the Mang army If people want to attack a certain city in Pingyang, or even Pingyang Mansion, they may be threatened by attacks from Mang people anytime and anywhere, which will cause great harm to Pingyang.
Ling Yun could not sit idly by and ignore this situation, otherwise he would definitely be criticized by the court and even held accountable.
Especially old foxes like He Yushan, who originally lacked the means to impeach themselves, and now that the Mang army captured Liaocheng, it was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
Although the fall of Liaocheng was not Ling Yun's fault, Emperor Qianxi ordered him to go to Pingyang to resist Da Mang. The purpose was to let him defend Pingyang. Whether he could defeat Mang's army was secondary.
As long as he defended Da Mang's attack, he would be a great hero. Emperor Qianxi was happy to see it. However, if he allowed the Mang army to break the city during the period of resisting Da Mang, it would be nothing more than proving to outsiders that he could not reach Pingyang even a little bit. The effect would be the same with or without him, and he would even be blamed for the fall of Liaocheng on him...

Regardless of that outcome, it was not the outcome he wanted.
Don't seek merit, but seek no faults.
By doing this, at least Emperor Qianxi would not be disappointed.
But now that Liaocheng was lost, he suddenly panicked. In addition, the military generals from all over Pingyang were so self-respecting that they would not obey his orders at all. Their orders were ineffective. It was extremely difficult to organize an army to attack the Mang army. There is no hope in the blue sky.
Now, Wang Dongxu's boldness has given him hope.
As a result, five thousand vanguard troops, led by Wang Lipei, launched a tentative attack on Liaocheng.
When I arrived near Liaocheng, I found that the south gate of Liaocheng was tightly closed. The flag of the Mang Army was hoisted on the gate, and dozens of corpses were hanging above the gate. If I looked closely, it was not difficult to see that there were dozens of corpses hanging there. , are all soldiers of the Nanyi Army, because their armor is particularly eye-catching, and you can tell them apart just by looking at them.
This scene aroused the anger of the soldiers of the Nanyi Army.
"Damn it, the damned reckless soldiers... are so cruel. They killed our brothers and hung them on the city. They deserve death. I want to kill them, kill them all..."
"Kill, kill the reckless man and avenge the brothers."

"We must kill them all, avenge our dead brothers, and then hang them on the wall..."
Listening to the continuous angry voices of the soldiers, Jing Zishi suddenly felt like his heart was cut by a knife. Especially when he saw the familiar corpses on the city wall, he felt extremely painful, because these people all came with him. , they died, and he was still alive.
This is not only a shame, but also a guilt...
Huang Huayang comforted him from the side, "General, this is not your fault, it is Peng Shiju and Bao Longxing's fault. What we can do now is to cheer up and avenge our dead brothers."
"revenge?"
Huang Huayang nodded heavily, "Yes, that's right, avenge the dead brothers!"
Jing Zishi was silent for a while, then looked forward and murmured to himself, "Yes, the only thing he can do now is to avenge them..."
Jing Zishi's eyes gradually became firmer, and a heart of revenge kept growing in his heart...
"Wang Lipei."
"The end will be here."

"General Huai Li, that's right." The soldier nodded in response.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
After hearing this, Wan Yanli laughed loudly, without caring about the others at all. He took a drink from the wine bottle, then looked at the crowd and said arrogantly, "Brothers, did you hear that? Did you hear what he said? ?"
Pointing at the soldier who was speaking, he said disdainfully, "This man actually said that Ganren attacked our army. Doesn't he know that I have already killed all the Ganren?"
Then he said boldly, "Even if the Ganren reinforcements arrive, so what? In my eyes, the Ganren are just ants, and wherever I go, they are the corpses of ants."
Holding the wine bottle, he held it up with both hands and asked loudly, "Tell me, am I right?"
The people around him hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, General Li is right. Ganren are just ants. Just pinch them with your hands and you can crush them to death. Why should you be afraid?"
It is not difficult to see from their conversation that they regard Gan Ren as an ant and take control of Gan Ren's life at will, as if they can easily end Gan Ren's life with just a little move, without any effort.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
Hearing everyone's agreement, Wan Yanli was in a good mood and laughed again. He cared as much as he wanted to and did not take the soldiers' words seriously at all.
