Lin Ye had concluded that Qian Liao could be fought for when he was preparing to lead his army south.
Otherwise, he would not have arranged for Jinwu to come to Guo Geming's side. After all, he wanted to fight Liu Tingsheng first.
Xiang Jinwu is his eldest brother, the eldest brother of all the hat swordsmen. It is self-evident how important his identity is. Being here is enough to show that Lin Ye attaches great importance to Qian Liao.
In addition to being Lin Ye's eldest brother, Xiang Jinwu's identity is also the Assistant Minister of the Office. This identity is important and high enough for Qian Liao.
The reason why the emperor agreed to Lin Ye's recommendation and let Xiang Jinwu enter the office was that Lin Ye had already made a judgment at that time. The emperor knew Xiang Jinwu and what Xiang Jinwu had been doing these years.
The swordsman in the bamboo hat was Lin Ye's strong support, and the emperor also allowed Xiang Jinwu to enter the office.
This actually explains the problem quite a bit.
It was at that time that Lin Ye determined that the emperor had long known about the existence of the bamboo hat swordsman, and it was even very likely that the emperor had created the bamboo hat swordsman.
In other words, the Dou Li Swordsman already existed before her mother-in-law adopted Lin Ye.
There can only be one reason why Lin Ye left Wuwei County and the swordsman in the hat gradually appeared in the field of vision.
They are all waiting for Lin Ye to grow up.
They must also include the Emperor.
Under Xiang Jinwu's arrangement, Qian Liao successfully eliminated the generals of the barbarians, ordered his subordinates to disarm the barbarians and closely guard them.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Jinwu took Qian Liao and left the camp and arrived at a small town dozens of miles away, where Feng Xiu had been waiting for several days.
Feng Xiu originally wanted to lead his army back to block Liu Tingsheng's return, but he only received Lin Ye's military order when he returned.
Lin Ye asked Feng Xiu not to intercept Liu Tingsheng, but unexpectedly led his army to conquer the pass between Jiangzhou and Nanzhou from within.
In this way, Qian Liao's entry into Jiangzhou became extremely smooth.
Soon after Feng Xiu and Qian Liao met, they negotiated terms.
After returning from the small town, Qian Liao discussed it with Xiang Jinwu again. He wanted to tell his generals about this matter, but he could not tell them all. He could only find the most loyal generals of Qian Liao. As for the others, they could destroy them.
Let’s talk about it after meeting Guo Geming.
A group of people talked in depth for nearly a night and worked out an extremely complete plan.
After another seven or eight days, Qian Liao sent someone back to deliver a message to Guo Geming, saying that he had joined forces with Liu Tingsheng's team to surround Feng Xiu.
The defenders of Qingshan City split half of their troops and planned to rescue Feng Xiu.
At this time, it was the best time to capture Qingshan City. In order not to miss the opportunity, Qian Liao hoped that Guo Geming could personally lead his army to capture Qingshan City.
After the news was sent back, Guo Geming was overjoyed.
He said several times in succession that Mr.
Guo Geming's subordinates congratulated him one after another.
As long as he takes Qingshan City and eliminates the main force of Coward, Lin Ye will only have 20,000 people left, and it is impossible for him to do anything in Jiangzhou, which is crisscrossed by waterways.
At that time, Liu Tingsheng was also severely weakened. After destroying Feng Xiu and then destroying Liu Tingsheng on the way, the overall situation of Jiangzhou would be stable. Sitting on the land of the two states, Guo Geming would be stable.
Guo Geming did not dare to delay, so he assembled a team of 70,000 to 80,000 people and hurriedly left Nanzhou and entered Jiangzhou.
Along the way, Guo Geming did not dare to delay for a moment, lest something unexpected happen again before arriving at Qingshan City.
In order to lure him into taking the bait, Qian Liao sent three groups of people back to report that Feng Xiu had been completely blocked, but Liu Tingsheng might want to bring back Zhou Wanggeng's 50,000 to 60,000 people to attack Qingshan City.
Therefore, I ask Guo Geming to lead his troops to arrive as soon as possible and not to fall behind Zhou Wanggeng.
Upon hearing the news, Guo Geming became even more anxious and kept urging his men to speed up. This team was so tired that everyone was out of breath.
After Guo Geming led his team to Qingshan City, he happened to see Qian Liao's team rushing through the gate of Qingshan City.
Guo Geming quickly sent someone to ask, only to find out that it was Qian Liao who was worried that Guo Geming would not be able to make it in time, so he simply divided his troops to attack Qingshan City first. When Guo Geming arrived, the gate of Qingshan City was accidentally knocked open.
Guo Geming saw Qian Liao's men rushing into Qingshan City with his troops, how could he still sit still.
Although he did have the ability to lead troops and was suspicious, he never doubted Qian Liao's loyalty, so he led his team to charge towards Qingshan City.
As a result, the moment he rushed into Qingshan City under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, Qian Liao's team squeezed forward and intercepted Guo Geming's team.
Only then did Guo Geming realize that something was wrong, but it was already too late. Countless people came around. After a hail of arrows, most of Guo Geming's hundreds of guards were lost.
There is nothing left to do but surrender.
Feng Xiu and Qian Liao had been waiting in the city for a long time and ordered Guo Geming to be tied up.
Then Qian Liao led his men out of the city, directly into Guo Geming's army, and deceived the generals who led the army, and also deceived them into Qingshan City.
When it got dark, there was still chaos outside Qingshan City. The team brought by Guo Geming did not know what to do and blocked the outside of the city and kept shouting.
Qian Liao was worthy of being called a bold man by Guo Geming, and he left Qingshan City with only a few dozen soldiers.
He loudly announced that Guo Geming was a traitor and had now surrendered to the law. Now General Lin Ye's cowardly army has blocked the way back. As long as everyone surrenders, General Lin Ye will forget the blame.
Someone was making trouble, but Qian Liao rode over and killed him with a sword.
The remaining people were forced by Qian Liao's momentum and threw away their weapons.
Even Feng Xiu didn't expect that solving Guo Geming would be so smooth.
He is relatively upright in his military use, focusing on how to defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield.
Who would have thought that General Lin Ye could use troops like this? He was so weird and unpredictable.
If he hadn't received the military order from the general when he was about to return to the army, he would not have known that an assistant minister from the office of the general went directly to Nanzhou and successfully instigated the rebellion of the first brave general under Guo Geming.
The next thing will be much simpler. All Qian Liao has to do is to stabilize the morale of the army.
He has killed almost all the senior generals in Guo Geming's army and quickly promoted a group of new people.
Then let these generals convene middle- and lower-level officers to discuss matters and preach the court's policies.
Only Guo Geming will be punished, and the others will be treated as innocent as long as they do not rebel. Moreover, the court will launch troops against Lou Fan in the near future. At that time, everyone will be rewarded according to their merits.
In fact, most of the border troops in southern Xinjiang do not want to rebel.
After Qian Liao settled the troops, he ordered the troops not to enter Qingshan City, but to camp outside the city, waiting for the arrival of General Lin Ye.
After Qian Liao stabilized the situation, Feng Xiu led his army to set off again. He also wanted to join the general and eliminate Liu Tingsheng's remaining troops.
However, at this time, Feng Xiu received another military order sent by Lin Ye.
Lin Ye asked Feng Xiu to stay in Qingshan City, and asked Qian Liao to take his loyal subordinates to return the way they came and rush back to Nanzhou.
This time, not only did Feng Xiu get confused again, but Qian Liao was also a little confused.
Xiang Jinwu was worried that something had happened, so he followed Qian Liao's army back to Nanzhou.
After they rushed back in almost twenty days, they discovered that Nanzhou had changed.
General Lin Ye brought 20,000 men with him and fought in Nanzhou after Guo Geming led his troops. Now that Nanzhou is empty of troops, there is no one who can rival Lin Ye.
By the time Qian Liao came back with his troops, Lin Ye had conquered six cities and reached the gate of Nanzhou Prefecture.
At this time, Qian Liao's admiration for Lin Ye could not be increased.
Twenty thousand people.
With only 20,000 people, Lin Ye first destroyed Qin Kaikai's 100,000-strong army, and then Liu Ting'an's 60,000 elite troops. Everyone thought he would bring 20,000 people into Jiangzhou, but who would have thought that he would dare to bring 20,000 people with him?
The men came to Guo Geming's house.
After Qian Liao met with Lin Ye, he was instructed by Lin Ye to go to Zhouzhi City to persuade him to surrender.
Originally, the number of defenders in Zhouzhi City was not large, but when the cowardly army approached the city, people became panicked.
At this time, General Qian Liao came to persuade him to surrender. He also learned that Guo Geming was dead. The people in the city knew that the situation was over, so they opened the city gate of the prefecture.
Lin Ye entered the city and settled the people in the city.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye used thunderous means to take away all the important subordinates Guo Geming had left in the city.
Those who deserve to be killed must be killed.
Early the next morning, Lin Ye ordered notices to be posted throughout the city. As long as they were ordinary people in the city, they could go to the designated place to receive a piece of money to provide for the people, and food was distributed to each household.
Anyway, the money and food were not from Lin Ye, they were all obtained from Guo Geming, and Guo Geming's money and food were obtained from the people of Nanzhou, so this can be regarded as taking from the people and using them for the people.
In just three days, Lin Ye stabilized the situation in Nanzhou.
Then he and Qian Liao talked deeply for half the night, and Qian Liao admired Lin Ye even more.
The next day, Qian Liao dispatched his generals and took over the southern border defense.
In the next few days, Lin Ye kept summoning the squires and people from major families in Nanzhou.
According to his temperament, none of these people actually wanted to stay, but he was eager to rush back to Geling City, so he could only focus on appeasing them.
Moreover, if he knew that he was going on a killing spree in southern Xinjiang, Ning Weimo would probably jump on his feet and curse in the street.
From the perspective of striving for stability, it is obviously inappropriate to launch a killing spree in southern Xinjiang at this time.
Some of these people are sincerely willing to support Guo Geming's rebellion, and they also want to gain huge benefits from it.
Part of them had no choice but to do so. What could they do on Guo Geming's territory?
After these people were calmed down, the situation in Nanzhou was finally stabilized.
The other half are the border troops.
Guo Geming transferred a large number of border troops, and now the entire southern Xinjiang defense line is slightly empty.
After Lin Yezai and Qian Liao's people successfully took over, he went there in person, inspected for about half a month, and comforted the soldiers in southern Xinjiang.
These things are actually not difficult to do, they just take time.
After returning from patrolling the border areas, Lin Ye said goodbye to Qian Liao. He asked Qian Liao to guard southern Xinjiang until someone came to replace Qian Liao.
He also said that he would personally ask the court for merit for Qian Liao, and gave Qian Liao a guarantee that as long as he went on the northern expedition, he would definitely take Qian Liao with him.
Of course, we must also tell Qian Liao that he will never betray General Qian's loyalty.
Qian Liao was also greatly moved by Lin Ye's frank meeting. When Lin Ye left, he personally sent Lin Ye dozens of miles away. He only returned to Zhouzhi City after knowing that Lin Ye repeatedly dissuaded him.
After bidding farewell to Qian Liao, Lin Ye left Nanzhou with his timid men and rushed to Jiangzhou day and night.
His sudden arrival really shocked Feng Xiu, because Feng Xiu never expected that the general would come in from behind him.
He thought that the general was still in the north, but who would have thought that the general had already eliminated all the rebels in Nanzhou.
Castle Peak.
Lin Ye urged his horse to the city gate, raised his head and looked at this majestic city. At this time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
It has been quite a while since we left Geling this time. Although it was a little faster to deal with Guo Geming than Lin Ye expected, it still lasted almost ten months.
Next, we have to deal with Liu Tingsheng, and we must do it quickly.
If we don't go back to Geling soon, then my aunt...
