It was already afternoon when Ying Yi arrived at Shoushan.

If he was the only one, he would have been half an hour at most, but Zhang Silingen followed him, although he was also a fast horse and light ride, it would have been much slower.

"Master!"

Zheng Wu stood up and beat his chest, his eyes no longer like before.

Zheng Wu was the son of the Zheng family. Now he is called Ying Yi's lord. Seeing only the fanatical appearance of many soldiers around him, Ying Yi couldn't help but feel happy.

The human Taoist platform, the great and wonderful use of the human Taoist list, is fully reflected in the army.

The soldiers' fighting spirit is clear at a glance.

Ying Yi nodded: "Go in and talk."

After entering the camp, Zheng Wu immediately reported the news from the bandit army: "There are nearly 10,000 bandit army, all old, weak, sick and disabled. From Kaifeng, they will arrive in Xiangcheng before dark. General Zhu came from Xiangcheng to discuss with his subordinates earlier. If the lord has not arrived, he will fight with the lord. If the lord has arrived, he will listen to the lord's orders."

Ying Yi felt relieved after hearing this. No wonder Zhu Bingkun didn't see him and said, "You took Xiangcheng?"

Zheng Wudao: "When his subordinates led their troops here, they found that Xiangcheng was an empty city, so they divided their troops to occupy it."

Ying Yi nodded: "Since it is an empty city, it's okay to occupy it. It just so happens to be at the horns of the Shoushan Mountain, watching each other. The bandits are about to be dark? What's the situation now?"

Zheng Wu said: "It's about an hour before dark, so I'll just wait for the night and don't receive the report."

Ying Yi smiled and said, "I have led my troops north to Kaifeng Prefecture this time, and I plan to have a fight with the thieves. Once the thieves arrive, it doesn't matter if they try the quality. Nearly ten thousand old people and weak people make a whetstone to sharpen my blade."

Zheng Wu and the generals of the camp were overjoyed.

They are eager to fight - the humanitarian list. Although only 900 people in the army are on the list, the news has spread all over the world. Killing enemies to make meritorious contributions and increasing humanitarian aura can be seen. If you are not afraid of being greedy or going on a business trip, everyone wants to fight and everyone wants to make meritorious contributions.

The fighting spirit in the army was fierce, and Ying Yi was happy to hear it. He talked to Zheng Wu for a moment, and asked him to be fully prepared, so he went down the mountain to Xiangcheng County.

When I arrived in Xiangcheng County, I saw the whole city of grass and trees, which were indeed depressed.

Zhu Bingkun had already received the news and brought a group of generals to greet him. After entering the city, Ying Yi asked, "Where has the thief army been?"

Zhu Bingkun hurriedly said, "Maybe there were some mistakes."

"oh?"

Ying Yi's heart turned: "Can the bandits notice it?"

Zhu Bingkun said, "My lord is wise. At noon, I found that the bandits had reached fifty miles away. The last general thought that he would reach Xiangcheng County before dark, and planned to ambush the soldiers in Xiangcheng. Zheng's general sneaked outside Xiangcheng and waited for the bandits to enter the city and then attacked inside and outside. Unexpectedly, after noon, the bandits' speed slowed down. The night he had just received was not collected, saying that the bandits had stopped twenty miles away and were staggering."

After hearing this, Ying Yi laughed: "After all, it's a flat mountain north of Xiangcheng, and it's not easy to be noticed if you don't hide it at night."

Zhu Bingkun nodded, a little bit of a pity: "If the bandits don't know and are at a loss, our army will definitely win a big victory."

Ying Yi smiled and shook his head: "Although the strategy is good, what's the point of fighting with him head-on? Is your soldiers not as good as those of a mere thief?"

Zhu Bingkun and others all laughed.

Ying Yi waved his hand: "I have won a great victory since I became an army, but I am lucky. This time, the fight with the treacherous soldiers is the time to test the soldiers. This bandit soldier cannot come. If I don't have to go there, I will go there. There is no need to be anxious. I will have a good rest tonight. I will go to the camp and eat it tomorrow."

Since Ying Yi seized power, he has won many victories, and the soldiers who have been defeated in his hands have about 80,000 soldiers and soldiers. But the decisive factor is not the army, but Ying Yi himself.

But the conquest of the world cannot be achieved by only one person. The quality of the army needs to be tested by practice. This time, when we lead the troops south, Ying Yi decided not to take action and hand over the war to the army without taking action.

The ones who came were the old, weak, sick and disabled. Try your hands first, dip some blood and sharpen the blade.

"Tomorrow, you will be full of your nests, and there will be no hidden worries behind your left and right, and you will not be afraid of any loss in the foothills." Ying Yi said: "You should ask someone to tell Zheng Wu quickly."

...

Li Yan stationed his troops twenty miles north of Xiangcheng because he found some clues.

Although Ying Yi's night is not collected, although he hides his movements, as Ying Yi said, it is smooth again in broad daylight, so how can people not notice it?

Li Yan's eight thousand soldiers were under his command. Although he was old, weak, sick and disabled, he had a standard camp with only a hundred people, but he was elite, unlike the old and weak.

Li Yan was born as a juren and his family was originally a wealthy family. When he was resenting the thief, he brought his trusted servants, which were these hundred people. Although he was not valued by the thief, he did not have tens of thousands of troops under his command, and if there were any wars, he would be temporarily allocated, but he relied on these hundred people, and he had excellent training, and the thief army was not inferior to the old camp.

The one who noticed that Ying Yiye was not in sight was Li Yan's servant.

"The officers and soldiers came so quickly."

Li Yan saw clues and did not dare to move forward rashly, and stationed his troops on a small hill. He and Hong Niangzi stood on the top of the hill, condescending to the top, sighing: "I rushed to hurry up, but I didn't expect that the officers and soldiers would still be one step faster."

"Are you sure you are an officer or soldier?" said the Hongniangzi: "Maybe they are refugees."

Li Yan shook his head and laughed: "It is clear that the officers and soldiers are not taken away at night, so where are they refugees? If my family had not been sharp-eyed, they would have been hidden. Such caution would have been impossible for them to be refugees. I think the officers and soldiers have occupied Xiangcheng at this time. Our army is old and weak, and if we advance rashly, we will suffer losses. I have asked someone to turn back to Kaifeng and ask for help from the King of Chuang. I just hope that the King of Chuang will dispatch troops as soon as possible, otherwise..."

He looked worried.

Li Yan was a smart man, and he had already noticed something wrong in his heart. Niu Jinxing told him that Ding Qirui, the troops of the Ming army, came from the south and asked him to station Xiangcheng and guard the important roads north. But now I think about it, it is obviously a bit unusual.

He didn't say anything - half of his hundred people were sent to him as a survey, and more than twenty people have disappeared in the past half day.

Where did you go? Mostly you died.

He had never missed the Ming army, but the Ming army's night failure is probably not as powerful as it is.

I can see the whole leopard. Are the soldiers coming from the south really Ding Qirui’s Huguang soldiers?

He didn't even expect to ask for help from the King of Chuang. When the news came back here, the first person to know was not the King of Chuang, but Niu Jinxing. Will Niu Jinxing report the King of Chuang immediately and send him more troops?

There was a heavy heart in his heart.

"Maybe I was really wrong..." He sighed in his heart: "After all, the thief is a thief. He is very thief and cannot be changed. Forget it, since I have embarked on this path, I will never look back. So I fought for this life. As a warning, I only hope that Niu Jinxing can put the overall situation first..."
