A few days later, the supplies sent from Hanhai City arrived, and Yuan Qing took his leave and headed north with the border troops.
Lin Ye said that he would let his Wu Lingwei continue to rest in the Donglin Gorge, but not long after the border troops left, Lin Ye took Wu Lingwei straight to Hanhai City.
Even his subordinates didn't understand this operation.
At this time, Lou Fan's army had been defeated and nothing happened in Hanhai City. Lin Ye took Wu Lingwei and ran to Hanhai City instead of going north. This made no sense.
What is even more incomprehensible is that after arriving at Hanhai City, Wu Lingwei did not stay long, let alone rest.
Lin Ye first went to the Yamen of Hanhai City and asked the Yamen to put up a notice calling on the big families in Hanhai City to lend all available horses to Wu Lingwei.
Of course these people are not willing to borrow it casually.
But Lin Ye's message to the Hanhai City officials was that you'd better leave it alone.
Then Lin Ye took Wu Lingwei and did something shocking.
robbery.
Wu Lingwei's team forced their way into the homes of wealthy families and took away all the available horses without explanation.
Dongbo horses are not available in ordinary people's homes, but they must be in the homes of these wealthy families.
Yuan Qingze also thought about borrowing some horses from these wealthy households for use in battles.
However, due to the relationship between the two countries, some people came forward to discuss it, but it was not possible. Everyone said they were willing to borrow horses, but in the end they found that they only had three or five horses at home.
The wealthy households in the city spent a long time gathering together a few hundred horses, which was of no significance to the war situation.
Every household said they only had these horses, firstly because they were worried that they would not be able to get them back if they lent them out, and secondly, they did not dare to expose them for fear of being held accountable later.
After all, even in Dongbo, war horses cannot be raised too many.
Lin Ye directly skipped the step of negotiation. When he informed the officials of Hanhai City, he had already led his men to seize the horse.
Lin Ye said, I will give you an IOU, and the big jade will be returned to you in the future. If not, you can go to Geling to find the emperor to complain.
When he broke into the first house, he encountered some resistance, and Lin Ye ordered not to beat anyone to death.
Well, it's just that you're not allowed to kill anyone.
This kind of behavior, at least it doesn't look like a group of good people.
How could a good man, a teacher of justice, do such a thing?
Once the first family was overthrown, the others behind them did not dare to resist.
Lin Ye actually went from house to house to write an IOU, and then took the stolen horse and broke into the treasury of Hanhai City.
In addition to taking away a large amount of armor and equipment, there was also dry food, but the money in the treasury was not touched, not even a single copper coin was used.
After grabbing these things, Lin Ye left Hanhai City with more than 6,000 Wu Lingwei and headed southeast.
He didn't go to the north or Xiantang. He went all the way to the southeast as if he had escaped.
In fact, that's what the people in Hanhai City said about him.
Before escaping, he also robbed the wealthy owner of the city. This kind of thing is of course outraged by both humans and gods.
The image of Dayu's soldiers and the friendly relationship between the two countries have all changed because of Lin Ye's order, at least in Hanhai City.
"General."
Although Xu Haoran, the thirteenth senior brother, did exactly what Lin Ye ordered, he still couldn't figure out why he had to go all the way to the southeast.
He asked: "What are we doing to the southeast at this time?"
Lin Ye said: "Do big things."
Xu Haoran was even more puzzled.
He thought that if he wanted to do great things, become famous, achieve great achievements, and achieve great achievements, why shouldn't he go to Xiantang City?
In this battle, if Wu Lingwei can make a name for himself in Xiantang City, then he will truly be admired by the world.
"What's going on in the southeast?"
"There is nothing now, but there will be in the future."
Lin Ye explained briefly, and then urged his men to speed up their march again. Walking southeast from Hanhai City, you will pass through the territories of many tribes.
Lin Ye was just like in Hanhai City. When he passed a tribe, he announced that their war horses would be requisitioned. If he was not sure about their horses, he would take the strong men with him.
He was polite at first, but later he realized that being polite was of no use, so he just became more aggressive.
Wherever it passes, each tribe must send one-third of their young men, otherwise they will be forced to come.
In this way, Lin Ye's team snowballed and grew bigger and bigger. Half a month later, he was more than a thousand miles away from Hanhai City, and his team had reached more than 20,000 people.
When there were still a hundred miles away from the Dongbo border pass in Dongjiang, Lin Ye ordered the team to stop and rest for a day before setting off again the next day.
He personally selected about 3,000 people and put them into military uniforms of the Loufan people.
These clothes were ordered to be left behind by Lin Ye when he was guarding the Donglin Canyon.
These three thousand people, under the banner of Lou Fan, went directly to the border.
Now this Guancheng has been controlled by Lone Bamboo. When Lou Fan's army marched north, Lone Bamboo did not dare to advance. He only took advantage of the situation to seize Dongbo's border pass and the towns near the border pass.
Lin Ye's team encountered several patrol teams from Lone Bamboo during the next hundred miles or so.
Lin Ye asked someone who could speak Lou Fan to negotiate with them, but he only said that the team was broken up in Donglin Gorge and came back to find General He Lianyu.
After Helianyu was defeated that night, he led his cavalry and fled southeast back to Guzhu.
He knew that he had no chance to go to Xiantang again, and even if he had the chance to go, he would not dare to go.
The marshal of this southern expedition is his eldest brother Heliancang. In order to calm the public anger, Heliancang will never let him go.
If he is spared, Emperor Loufan will not spare the Helian family.
He simply took nearly 20,000 cavalry back to Guzhu, retreated 10,000 steps, and said that in the worst case, he would become a local prince in Guzhu.
With nearly 20,000 cavalry in hand, no one dared to mess with him in Guzhu.
Moreover, he is not someone who is easily appointed, nor is he without a chance to make a comeback.
If Lou Fan's army finally breaks through Dongbo, he will lead his troops to respond from the south.
If Lou Fan is finally blocked by Dongbo again, then he will not go back. Anyway, in Lone Bamboo, the King of Lone Bamboo would not dare to provoke him.
When these patrolling Guzhu soldiers heard that Lou Fan was defeated, they did not dare to stop them too much and let them pass smoothly.
When they arrived at Xixia City at the border, the Lone Bamboo Army guarding the city also did not stop them and let Lin Ye and the others in directly.
After entering the city, Lin Ye gave the order and directly attacked Guancheng.
In Xixia City, Lin Ye led his men to fight from one end to the other. There were more than 10,000 Lone Bamboo defenders in the city, but they were in a hurry and had no time to organize themselves, so they were torn to pieces by Lin Ye Chong.
The Guzhu people never expected that the beautiful lady would be so cunning and so bold.
In fact, not all beauties are like this, mainly Lin Ye is like this.
After defeating Guancheng, Lin Ye's team arrived a day later.
Early the next morning, Lin Ye left the border with another 3,000 people, still wearing the military uniforms of the Loufan people, and went directly into Guzhu.
Their journey was almost unimpeded, and they walked hundreds of miles into Guzhu, drawing maps along the way.
After returning, Lin Ye became more courageous.
They directly attacked several small cities. After entering the cities, they just robbed the gold and silver treasures and killed them all the way back.
By the time they returned to Xixia City, the three thousand cavalry and war horses were almost too tired to move, mainly because there were so many camels.
On the city wall, Lin Ye looked down. The team was gathered in the open space in the city, waiting for him to speak.
"The King of Dongbo requested me to lead troops to recapture the border pass that was robbed by the Guzhu people. Now, the city has been taken back."
Lin Ye said: "You are all meritorious people. In the future, the king of Dongbo will definitely reward you based on your merits."
He looked at the men from each tribe.
"What you have to do now is to guard this border. As long as no more Guzhu's troops enter Dongbo from here, you will all be Dongbo's heroes in protecting the country."
When Feng Xiu heard Lin Ye say this, he knew that he was about to say the next thing. For Feng Xiu, this was still a bit difficult. After all, this was not the way Dayu's army did things.
He lowered his voice and said: "If we really send people to rob supplies, if this matter is reported back to Dayu, the court will not look good."
Lin Ye: "I don't care whether the court's reputation is good or not. I have to take care of whether my soldiers are not cold or hungry. It's already November, the weather is getting cold, and our people are still wearing single clothes."
Feng Xiu opened his mouth and swallowed the rest of the words.
Lin Ye said to him: "I am the commander of Wu Lingwei. If the court pursues it, it will naturally pursue me."
He looked at the soldiers below and said: "The people from Wu Lingwei are responsible for staying in Xixia City to repair the city's defenses. The warriors from each tribe..."
Lin Ye looked at the people standing in front. They were all leaders he selected from various tribes.
"Mr. Dongbo promised me that I would directly grant officials to whoever is available, capable, and meritorious in battle. Whoever I say can be a general can be made a general."
He said to those people: "Now, you are all captains selected by me personally. I trust you, so I will hand over the troops of each tribe to you."
"You will take your respective teams and disperse from tomorrow to nearby counties to collect food and supplies, the most important thing is winter clothes."
"Don't harass the people. If I find out, I will definitely kill you. But you can bring back the food and materials in the county government treasury as you please."
"Those who run away from battle will be killed."
"Anyone who rapes a woman shall be killed."
"Those who do not respect orders will be killed."
"Those who rob people of their property will be killed."
After Lin Ye announced the four-kill order, he loudly said: "In each battalion, whoever brings back more supplies and who has made greater contributions will be the first general I appoint."
He waved his hand: "Go and get ready!"
After listening to Lin Ye's four-kill order, Feng Xiu's face became even more ugly.
Among these four killing orders, there is a separate mention of killing those who rob people of their property. If anyone feels that there are loopholes in these four killing orders, they will first target officials from various local governments.
Feng Xiu looked at Lin Ye, eagerly watching.
Lin Ye said: "I know what you want to say. I have sent a team of fifty people to each camp to supervise the battle. As long as the people from each tribe do not go too far, let them do it."
Feng Xiu: "If this matter gets back to Dayu, I'm afraid it will be even more unpleasant."
Lin Ye: "If I don't let them get the benefits, why should they listen to my orders and why should they fight to the death?"
"Now the total number of cavalry from each tribe is 20,000. I, Wu Lingwei, could not suppress them with all their might."
Lin Ye held on to the city wall and said, "At this time, I don't care whether your reputation is bad or not."
Feng Xiudao: "If Helianyu doesn't come back, then this matter will not end well."
"Helianyu will definitely come back."
Lin Ye said categorically: "If Helianyu doesn't come back, I will remove myself from the military position and the team will be handed over to you."
Feng Xiu: "You can pull me down..."
Feng Xiu was not moved at all, but he immediately became excited.
Lin Ye: "Don't you always want it?"
Feng Xiu: "If He Lianyu doesn't come back, all these preparations will be meaningless. You will be dismissed from the army. I will be the general. If the court says who is the general and who is responsible, I will take the blame for you!"
Lin Ye: "You have a dark heart."
Feng Xiu: "Why do you say that to me!"
Lin Ye said: "If you are not dark-hearted, how could you guess my dark thoughts so accurately? I advise you to be kind and stop thinking about these conspiracies all day long. Wouldn't it be better to be more sunny in your heart?"
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
