Lin Yi galloped all the way and arrived in Hezhou in the middle of the night.
At this moment, there were constant patrols of officers and soldiers carrying torches in Hezhou City. They also stopped Lin Yi for questioning. The atmosphere was very tense, and it was obvious at a glance that something big had happened.
Lin Yi returned to the branch hospital, and the guard at the gate couldn't help shouting excitedly when he saw Lin Yi.
"Prince Lin is back! Go and report to Master Zeng..."
Lin Yi jumped off his horse in front of the mansion gate and asked the guard leader.
"Has Beifu ever attacked us?"
The guard leader said excitedly: "King Lin, the Beifu invaded yesterday. However, Young Master Zeng led his troops to intercept the Beifu people in Fengshan Forest. We fought with the Beifu for more than two hours.
We fought until dark. In the end we won! We won..."
We won!
This voice rang in Lin Yi's ears and in his heart.
Lin Yi was very happy about the great victory in Hezhou.
Lin Yi patted the leader's shoulder and said, "Great!"
It turned out that Qin Dingfang led people to Wangren Mountain to ambush Lin Yi and others, while Ximen Xuan led nearly 3,000 people to sneak attack Hezhou and tried to eliminate the heroes in the southern border of Hezhou. Fortunately, Lin Yi had already made arrangements. The heroes in the southern border of Hezhou were led by Zeng Tengyun and Zhou Lianghua.
With the help of his brothers and sisters, they set up an ambush in Fengshan Forest, eight miles away from Hezhou, and gave the Beifu troops a head-on attack.
Lin Yi entered the mansion in an excited mood.
At this moment, all the lights in the branch are brightly lit.
There are experts patrolling everywhere in the house.
There are still many people running around and arranging to treat the wounded.
When these heroes from the southern border saw their southern king, they all rushed forward. They were excited and reported the battle of Hezhou to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi saw that almost all of them were injured, which showed that the battle yesterday was tragic.
Lin Yi also told them about the great victory at Wangrenshan, and the heroes burst into cheers. The southern border won two battles at the same time, and they all understood that if they continued to fight like this, they would be able to invade Beifu soon. They would win the final victory in the battle between the north and the south.
Then Lin Yi came to Zeng Tengyun's residence.
Zeng Tengyun has heard the news and came out.
Lin Yi saw that Zeng Tengyun's body was bandaged in many places, and blood was continuously printed from the wound wrapping cloth. Zeng Tengyun was also covered with bruises from this battle.
Lin Yi took a few steps forward, and then embraced Zeng Tengyun excitedly.
Lin Yi said loudly: "Good brother, this battle affects the overall situation! Thank you for your hard work! Young Master Zeng is so powerful!"
Lin Yi was concerned about the situation in Hezhou, and Zeng Tengyun was also concerned about the situation in Wangrenshan.
Zeng Tengyun said hurriedly: "Don't flatter me, tell me about the situation at Wangren Mountain!"
Zeng Tengyun also knew about the decisive battle between Su Qinghou and Wang Huihui. Zeng Tengyun was also helpless about this. He could only hope for a good result.
Lin Yi said: "After a fierce battle between Mr. Hou and Brother Wang, both of them were unable to fight anymore. Mr. Hou shouted to the sky on the spot that the grudge between the Su and Qin families was settled! Then we started a fierce battle with Qin Dingfang and the others. After the battle, Qin Dingfang led
The elite force was almost destroyed. Also, Li Tianlang was killed by me on the spot!"
These good news also made Zeng Tengyun feel more excited. Zeng Tengyun said loudly: "It's perfect! It's so damn happy, so damn happy! Haha. If this continues, it won't be long before we can invade Beifu..."
Zeng Tengyun held Lin Yi's arm and entered the house.
After the two sat down, Zeng Tengyun told Lin Yi the details of the Hezhou War. The entire fierce battle was thrilling, no less than the Battle of Wangren.
At the end of the day, Zeng Tengyun said again: "After the war, we counted the casualties. We found that more than 1,300 people died in Beifu, and more than 200 people died. We also suffered nearly a thousand casualties. Even the little boy almost died. In the end, Ximenxuan and his remaining soldiers were defeated.
He ran away in a hurry. Also, this battle was really dangerous. We almost lost!"
Lin Yi said: "What's going on?!"
Zeng Tengyun picked up the tea and drank it all. He wiped his mouth and said, "Damn it, it turns out that bitch Du Youxin is here too. Not long after we started fighting, suddenly a piece of green smoke rose from the north and south and filled the field.
The brothers in the periphery smelled the smoke and soon became weak and collapsed. The people in Beifu had taken the antidote beforehand, so the smoke would not harm them. When I saw this situation, my heart suddenly sank. I thought to myself
, it’s over. And they are all fighting in one place, and it is difficult to evacuate. At this critical moment, clouds of light red smoke also rose from that direction and filled the air. Then the red smoke absorbed all the poison in the green smoke.
Got it..."
Hearing this, the mysterious Du Youhen suddenly flashed in Lin Yi's mind.
Lin Yi said: "It's Du Youhen! She saved you!"
Zeng Tengyun said: "I was wondering who helped us at first. Then I thought about it, in the whole world, when it comes to using poison to a state of perfection, it is the Du sisters. I never expected that the elder sister harmed us and the younger sister saved us. This
It's all thanks to Du Youhen this time. She is simply our great benefactor. If I see her, I will thank her profusely. Otherwise, it will be completely over. Now I am scared when I think about it..."
It makes Zeng Tengyun feel frightened just thinking about it, which shows how dangerous it was at that time.
Lin Yi was also very sad.
The Battle of Hezhou was even more shocking.
Lin Yi originally thought that Du Youxin would follow Qin Dingfang to Wangren Mountain to deal with them, because almost all the elites in the southern border went to Wangren Mountain. Qin Dingfang would definitely use all his means to catch them all.
Lin Yi and Zuo Chaoyang also thought of a strategy to deal with Du Youxin.
As a result, Du Youxin participated in the Battle of Hezhou.
Lin Yi also made a miscalculation.
It's really a foolproof plan.
If Du Youhen hadn't helped, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Zeng Tengyun added: "Ximenxuan was defeated miserably, and the Beifu branches in several towns also abandoned their defenses. They retreated for eighty miles. Now the head of Xiaohua has led people to investigate. If there are no traps, I am preparing to attack all those towns.
After occupying it, our territory became even larger. Finally, we occupied the door of Beifu's house."
Lin Yi thought for a moment, and he understood that Ximenxuan abandoned these towns to shrink his power around Fengxiang to defend Beifu.
Now it doesn't make much sense to compete with Beifu for territory.
The ultimate goal is to destroy Beifu.
Lin Yi said: "There is no need to send people to occupy those towns that Beifu abandoned."
Zeng Tengyun said in confusion: "Why? This is a great opportunity. You can seize it without losing a fight."
Lin Yi said: "Brother Zeng, our ultimate goal is not to compete for territory. Although we won two games in a row, we suffered a lot of casualties. If we occupy these towns, we will have to send people to guard them. This will spread our strength even more. We
Just seize this key area in Hezhou and rest for a while, then we will go north and attack Beifu!"
Zeng Tengyun thought it made sense, and said: "Okay! You are the King of Nan, you make the decision!"
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Yi went to visit his seriously injured uncle and Zeng Xiaotong. Although both of them were seriously injured, their lives were not in danger, so Lin Yi felt relieved.
On the third day after Lin Yi arrived in Hezhou, Feng Liancheng personally sent Zhao Wei to Hezhou to meet Lin Yi.
Zhao Wei was very angry now.
Of course, he didn't dare to get angry at Lin Yi.
Zhao Wei said to Lin Yi: "Prince Lin, General Feng and General Shangguan have invited me."
Lin Yi understood that Feng Liancheng and Shangguan Minghong already knew that he had killed Li Tianlang in public.
