Lin Xiuming led 20,000 cavalry and arrived in Yancheng in less than a month. Unlike the last time, their marching speed was obviously much faster this time.

Arriving at the south gate of Yancheng again, Lin Xiuming was filled with emotions. Last time they rushed to Yancheng in a hurry, they were even prepared for defeat.

As a result, after entering the city, I discovered that someone else, the Northern King, had already wiped out the 300,000 barbarian troops, and the 70,000 soldiers he brought were just porters.

Seeing the south gate of Yancheng open and the people walking on the road, a soldier said next to Lin Xiuming: "General, why do you feel that there is no war in Beijun at all?"

Hearing the soldier's words, Lin Xiuming fell into silence.

The last time they came to Yancheng, the gates of Yancheng were closed, and it was hard to see even a mouse, let alone people, on the road.

Why does Yancheng look so peaceful today? There is absolutely no serious atmosphere of war times.

Could it be that they were late again and the war was over?

Could it be that the 20,000 people he brought with him became a corpse moving team again?

At this moment, a strong man in black and red clothes and a man in blue and coarse cloth appeared at the city gate.

At this time, the man in black and red clothes said: "According to the order of the Northern King, I have been waiting for the general in Yancheng for a long time.

After hearing what the man said, Lin Xiuming immediately got off his horse and walked directly in front of Qin Yushan and Li Rui. He had seen them both in Yancheng last time.

Qin Yushan often helped the Northern King pass messages, so Lin Xiuming became somewhat familiar with him and knew that Qin Yushan was a very important master around the Northern King.

Lin Xiuming said politely at this time: "Master Li, Senior Qin, didn't you say that King Beixian led an army of 200,000 people to go south? Why does it seem that the whole Beixian County is calm now, and there is no war at all in Yelu Nanyan'er?" What does it look like?”

Li Rui said with a smile on his face: "General Lin, the King of North Xian is indeed going to lead an army of 200,000 people south, but this time the prince has placed the battlefield in Tianguang City, so Yancheng seems to be calm."

Lin Xiuming said: "That's it, I thought the war was over."

"By the way, I brought some food and supplies to keep out the cold, as ordered by the imperial court. Here is the list of supplies. Please check them out."

"After you have finished counting the supplies, and if there are no problems, I will take the 20,000 cavalry behind me and rush directly to Tianguang City to assist the prince in resisting the army of the North Xian King."

Hearing Lin Xiuming's words, Li Rui glanced at Qin Yushan beside him. He was obviously waiting for Qin Yushan to speak.

Qin Yushan said at this time: "General Lin, the prince asked me to tell you that the imperial court's 20,000 troops can stay in Yancheng. Yancheng is the second line of defense against the barbarians moving south. It is very important. We need someone with the courage to do so." Soul, strength, strategy, and..."

Before Qin Yushan finished speaking, Lin Xiuming immediately interrupted and said: "Stop, stop, senior Qin, I know what the prince means. Later I will lead the 20,000 soldiers behind me to station where I came to Yan last time. The place where the city is stationed.

Seeing that Lin Xiuming was so sensible, Qin Yushan said nothing more. At this time, Li Rui said with a smile: "General Lin, if you need anything, you can send someone directly to me, and I will definitely find a solution. Satisfy you.”

Lin Xiuming said: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Li."

After that, they stopped talking too much. Lin Xiuming once again led the army to the camp where they camped in Yancheng last time. Lin Xiuming was filled with emotion when he saw that there were traces of their previous camp on the camp.

He knew that nothing would happen to him after coming to Beijun.

The imperial court might as well send him to fight Dawu.

You can't get any military merits when you come to Beijun, so you can only stay in the military camp every day.

At this time, one of Lin Xiuming's confidants asked in a low voice: "General, are we really going to be stationed here? The imperial court has given us a military order at least, asking us to assist the Northern King in resisting the barbarians moving south. If the imperial court knows that we have been at the rear, , staying in Yancheng, not even seeing the barbarian soldiers, I'm afraid there will be many officials in the court who want to impeach you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming smiled, and then said: "The imperial court did ask us to assist the Northern King in resisting the barbarians, but the military order also said that after we come to Beijun, we must obey the Northern King's orders. It was the Northern King who ordered We who are guarding Yancheng must of course obey the orders of King Bei."

After hearing this, the soldiers behind Lin Xiuming thought about it and felt that it made sense.

But how could they bear to keep them in the military camp? The 20,000 soldiers sent by the court to Lin Xiuming this time happened to be the cavalry among the 70,000 soldiers last time.

The last time they came to Beijun, they stayed for so long and did nothing. They just stayed in the military camp every day.

In order not to conflict with King Bei, Lin Xiuming did not let them run around. These soldiers had never felt so boring during the war. They seemed to be imprisoned in the military camp.

They were imprisoned for so long last time, and not long after they returned to the capital, they were imprisoned in the military camp again. To be honest, the soldiers couldn't accept it in their hearts. It was better for them to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

Although most people don't like war, not everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death. Who are the 20,000 people Lin Xiuming leads? They are the elite of Daxia!

They were all killed on the battlefield, and many of them even participated in the war that destroyed the Chen Kingdom. Locking them up in a military camp and not letting them do anything would only make them more violent.

At this time, one of Lin Xiuming's confidants couldn't bear it anymore and said: "General, you are not going to let us stay in the military camp again, are you?"

Lin Xiuming thought about it and felt that it would not be a problem to keep these soldiers locked up, so he said: "While stationed in Yancheng, you can enter Yancheng to relax after the drill, but I would like to remind you that if anyone is in Yancheng If something goes wrong in the city, I, the general, will not miss the old friendship and hand you over directly to the North Prince's Mansion."

Seeing that Lin Xiuming relaxed after agreeing to let them enter Yancheng, the soldiers immediately said in a high voice: "Yes, General!"

Although you can't go to the front line to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, as long as you can enter Yancheng to eat and drink, it is better than staying in the military camp every day.

The soldiers were very happy. Finally, they no longer had to be locked up in the military camp every day like last time.

at the same time.

During the Dawu Dynasty, the Zhengdian Palace was established.

A middle-aged man with gray hair, but who looked to be only in his thirties or forties, was standing in front of the officials to speak to Emperor Wu. At this time, he was the only voice in the entire hall, and his voice was still echoing in the hall. With.

"Your Majesty, twenty years of foreign war have caused countless people to be displaced and their families separated from their families. Now the people are already boiling with resentment. If this continues, Dawu is in danger of overthrowing!"

"In the past, Dawu's external wars were only against some small countries, but the Daxia Dynasty is a thousand-year-old dynasty. Even if they have constant internal conflicts, Daxia's military strength is still not far behind that of Dawu. Even a sick tiger can survive as long as his The teeth are still sharp, so we shouldn’t mess with them.”

"I sincerely request your Majesty to restrain his warlike attitude and send envoys to Daxia as soon as possible to sign a contract with Daxia and end the war!"
