As long as he seizes all the time to pass the news back, whether it will be war or peace in the end is not what he can worry about.
Jin Yuanbao showed a contemptuous smile at the retreating figure of the selenium and copper commandery envoy, stood up slowly, and slowly swayed his body to find Lin Yi.
The strong and domineering temperament before disappeared without a trace, and he returned to the look of the dandy fat guy before.
Lin Yi was noncommittal about Jin Yuanbao's report. Anyway, whether to fight or not, and whether to reconcile or not, it didn't matter to Lin Yi.
This meritorious service is enough for him to gain a great say in Hongshang County.
One day later, the envoy from Setong Commandery asked to see him again and expressed his willingness to cede five cities on the front line of northern Xinjiang and bear the military losses of Hongshang Commandery in this war.
The specific amount will be discussed when the contract is formally signed.
The reason why it is so refreshing is actually because of Heimei County.
The troops of Heimei Commandery, who were originally going to attack Hongshang Commandery, stayed at the junction of the Three Kingdoms for unknown reasons after receiving the news of the defeat of Selenium Copper Commandery.
And there is a vague intention to launch an offensive against Selenium Copper County.
If the war between Hongshang Commandery and Se-Copper Commandery expands in northern Xinjiang, Heimei Commandery will most likely tear up the agreement with Se-Copper Commandery, take the opportunity to attack Se-Copper Commandery, and form a cooperation with Hongshang Commandery.
On the other hand, another county adjacent to Se Tong County received a handwritten letter from Sima Zhengxin of Hongshang County, and also had a vague intention to send troops.
If we hold on to the front line of northern Xinjiang, other aspects will collapse. The best choice for the Selenium and Copper County is to give up voluntarily, shrink its strength, and then seek the possibility of diplomacy.
No matter what the people of Selenite County thought, from Lin Yi's point of view, this expedition was already a complete victory and a complete success!
In the conference hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Yi summoned his inner circle, including Liu Ziyu and Song Shaopeng, and held a small meeting.
"The military advisor did a good job in the negotiations this time, allowing Selenium Copper County to cede five important towns in northern Xinjiang. In the future, if they want to invade our Hongshang County, the difficulty will skyrocket."
Lin Yi started by praising Jin Yuanbao, with a smile on his face and a very good mood: "The next step is to take over the matter of the five ceded cities. This matter cannot be delayed and must be implemented as soon as possible."
"Deputy Commander Wu, you will make the overall arrangements. Commander Li will assist Deputy Commander Wu. In terms of manpower, we will first transfer some from Huoyang City, Duoyou City and Feidu City, and then add the Royal Capital garrison. We can't give them any chance to regret and delay. Chance."
"The military advisor continues to negotiate with the Se-Copper Commandery to negotiate the amount of war compensation. The scout battalion led by Ling will have to work harder and pay more attention to the Se-Copper Commandery's movements around those five cities."
"The main direction of Commander Zhang's Tingfeng Camp is Hongshang County. During our march this time, Selenium Copper County and Heimei County exposed many spies lurking in the country, as well as some traitors seeking glory. The higher-ups, Tingfeng Camp must dig out these moths and kill them!"
Lin Yi arranged the tasks one by one, and everyone whose name was called bowed to accept the order. Liu Ziyu looked eager to try, but it was difficult to ask for the task.
He had the title of supervising the army, and it was not convenient for him to lead the army. He finally got a chance to realize his dream, but who knew that he would be in vain again.
Lin Yi glanced at Liu Ziyu and felt quite helpless. He originally wanted to take him for a good training, but he didn't expect that the Selenium and Copper County surrendered directly... There seemed to be no way out.
As for Song Shaopeng, he didn't have any other thoughts. Anyway, he would go wherever Lin Yi went. As the deputy commander of the personal guard battalion, he could just follow the commander.
"Commander! The general has a request..."
Zhang Yiming suddenly spoke, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on the little fat face: "...it's some private matter of the general, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
"The official business has been finished, now you just have to say whatever you want!"
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. Zhang Yiming can be regarded as following his old man, and some small things naturally don't matter.
"That's it. The leader of the Tingfeng camp of the general is in charge of the country, so the general wants to leave first and go home to have a look... Yunying City is on our way back. The general hasn't been home for a long time, so..."
Zhang Yiming was a little hesitant, but actually it wasn’t a big deal, it was just going home to visit relatives!
Lin Yi thought for a moment and realized that Yunying City was indeed on the marching route, but it was not considered a necessary route.
It was only because Yunying City was on the Royal Capital's recruitment list that it was included in the marching route.
If Lin Yi had marched normally, he would have spent an extra half day to a day, taking a slight detour to Yunying City to recruit soldiers and food.
But Lin Yi didn't take the usual route. He took the guard camp to take a small route, and the main force of the royal capital's garrison led by Wu Yucao didn't go to Yunying City either.
At that time, the war situation was urgent, and Zhang Yiming would definitely not be able to go back to visit relatives.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, and Lin Yi has led his troops to achieve a rare victory in decades, Zhang Yiming has the idea of going home to take a look.
As the saying goes, if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night.
The old Zhang Xiaopang didn't do well in the Jianchun Sect, and he was actually very average in Yunying City. Apart from being rich, he really didn't have much face.
Things are different now!
Under General Zhenglu's command, Tingfeng Camp Commander, even the lord of Yunying City, would probably be lowered!
"That's right! Zhang Tong will go to Yunying City first, and then I will take the guard battalion to Yunying City... By the way, where is Fei Daqiang?"
When Fei Daqiang was mentioned, Lin Yi was also angry and funny. Word of what this guy did had already spread, so Lin Yi naturally heard about it.
To be honest, Fei Daqiang did a really good job. The problem is that he harvested such a large amount of food and grass, enough to feed an army of 50,000 for several years!
But the war was already over before my own rear troops even reached the battlefield!
This is very embarrassing!
Should we continue to ask him to bring food and grass?
There is indeed a need for food and grass supplies in the five cities of the Swallowed Selenium Copper County, but those are supplies for the expeditionary army. If they are distributed casually to the border troops, it would not sound good if they were told!
If it is concocted casually by someone who is interested, it will be evidence of Lin Yi's crime of buying people's hearts and trying to support his troops and respect himself.
Of course, Lin Yi wouldn't care about such boring things, he just finds it troublesome.
"Coming back to the commander-in-chief, Commander Fei has not arrived at Yunying City yet. Judging from the current itinerary of the rear army, Commander Fei will almost arrive at Yunying City one day after Commander Zhang returns to Yunying City!"
Ling Hanxue's scout battalion knew more about this information, so they immediately answered Lin Yi's question.
"Just in time! Commander Zhang returns to Yunying City. When Commander Fei comes, let him wait for me there!"
Lin Yi thought for a moment: "Maybe I will arrive at Yunying City before him. No matter what, let him go to Yunying City to wait for orders."
"yes!"
Zhang Yiming agreed loudly, secretly excited in his heart, and couldn't wait to go back to Yunying City to visit his parents and family.
