Chapter 931: Forcing the City

In fact, Shi Yuan could completely let Baihua write a fake holy decree in the name of Jinyi Palace to make this Nanqing army submit, in that way, he would save a lot of trouble, as long as this Nanqing army did not intend to rebel, he would definitely obey this holy decree, but he did not do so. As for the reason, there is nothing else: first, he doesn't really want the title of "General Pingnan", what he wants is to really master the Nanqing army. Second, if you do this, it will be easy for people to see through it, or cause dissatisfaction among these people, in which case, it will be counterproductive.

And in order to achieve these two points, it is definitely not possible to use this means of covering your ears and stealing the bell. Only fast and iron-blooded means are the most direct and effective!

When Shi Yuan picked up the earthen gun in his hand, Xia Lingcang didn't know what Shi Yuan was going to do, and still looked at Shi Yuan with some disdain, as if he was signaling that in this Yangzhou City, his Shi Yuan's words were not good.

"General Xia, I, Shi Yuan, will never ask for help, today I am going to enter this Yangzhou City, if you insist on blocking me, then don't blame me for being unkind!" Shi Yuan said, his fingers already on the trigger.

"Hahaha......" And after he finished speaking, Xia Lingcang laughed out loud, as if the humiliation he had suffered in the Nanqing army for so long had only been vented on Shi Yuan.

It's just that he stopped halfway through the laugh. With a roar, I saw that a stone in front of him suddenly exploded in all directions!

Shi Yuan finally pulled the earthen gun in his hand, and the violent sound made the horses under his crotch slightly frightened. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, and immediately after he started, he immediately pulled the reins, so there was no big mess.

Of course, he didn't think about what to do with this Xia Lingcang, after all, he was the commander of this local army. If this just came and killed a commander, if he was so powerful, I am afraid that he would have gone too far, after all...... This is just the beginning.

The stone he had struck was not very strong, of course, because the power of the earthen spear was now only able to penetrate armor at medium and close range. But this was enough, looking at the expressions on the faces of Xia Lingcang and the others, it could be seen that they were suppressed.

"General Xia, do you think it's your head or this stone is hard?" Putting the earthen gun away again, Shi Yuan said gracefully, as if ...... I didn't look at these local troops outside the city at all.

Although Xia Lingcang was suppressed, he was also a commander before, if he was so frightened, he would naturally be a little unable to say it. Although he didn't know what kind of weapon Shi Yuan was holding in his hand, he expected that Shi Yuan would not dare to kill himself!

"Shi Yuan! You're threatening me! If so......"

"General Xia, don't exalt yourself, I'm not threatening you. It's just that...... I'm giving you orders! If you dare to stop me again, I still have the means! ”

Shi Yuan didn't give Xia Lingcang a good look, and he didn't even give him the steps down. Because that's not what he's supposed to do.

And just when Xia Lingcang's face turned red, and he was about to be annoyed and angry, Baihua, who had been standing on the side without speaking, spoke, "Two generals, there shouldn't be any need to do this, right?" Now that the enemy is currently in the crosshairs, it should be the matter of retreating from the enemy, right? ”

Baihua was wearing men's clothes at this time, looking like a delicate-looking scholar. Hearing her words, Xia Lingcang turned to look at her, and he realized that this might be a step to go down.

"Who are you? How dare you ......"

He originally wanted to ask who Baihua was, but before he finished speaking, Baihua had already thrown a token in his hand. Xia Lingcang took the token and looked at it, but saw that the word "Jinyi Palace" was written on the token.

"I am the Palace Master of the Jinyi Palace. This time the situation is serious, and the emperor specially sent me to assist General Shi, and I have the right to cut first and then play! General Xia should know what kind of place this Jinyi Palace is, right? ”

If Shi Yuan was singing blackface before, then she was singing redface again and gave Xia Lingcang the steps. This sentence is both envy and power, and Xia Lingcang should weigh it carefully. Unless he wants to rebel, ...... You have to be obedient!

Of course, Xia Lingcang of Jinyi Palace had heard of it, but what he didn't know was that this organization, which had always been extremely mysterious, and the ministers of the court and the central government only heard its name and did not see its form, why did it appear in such a place? And...... This palace master of the Jinyi Palace is inevitably a little too young, right?

But the token in his hand is real! Don't...... This Shi Yuan can do all this in Jinling City, all relying on the power of this Jinyi Palace? If so, then what is the identity of this Shi Yuan?

Xia Lingcang didn't quite understand it in his heart, but now he didn't have time to think about these things. Because when Baihua takes out this token, it means that he needs to make a choice. It's a step, and if he doesn't get down it, things will continue to stalemate......

"Since there is an order from the emperor, then I will obey it!" Xia Lingcang didn't think about it for too long, and finally chose to come down from this step. Because this matter should be dealt with by Liu Dabeard.

Seeing this, Shi Yuan glanced at Baihua, and then raised the corners of his mouth in unison...... As things stand, things are going well. But they understand that this is just the first step, this Xia Lingcang is just the commander of a local army, and there is a bearded Liu in Yangzhou City. And even if Liu Dabeard can be subdued, how to make the tens of thousands of soldiers under him obey is the most crucial ......

In the city of Yangzhou, Liu Dabeard had just received the news that Shi Yuan had led people to Yangzhou. Although the entire south of Yangzhou City is now guarded by the local army led by Xia Lingcang, as the temporary commander of the three armies of Nanqing, he still has his own means.

Before, he felt that Shi Yuan wanted to pass through the tens of thousands of refugees, which would be a difficult thing, and he felt that Shi Yuan wanted to come to Yangzhou, and it would take some time. But I didn't expect it to be so fast......

Although he didn't want to see Shi Yuan, he obviously couldn't help him now. Since it is unavoidable, then you can only take the initiative! After getting the news, he counted the people, and like Xia Lingcang, he wanted to give Shi Yuan a dismount.

It's just that before he reached the south of the city, he heard a bang...... This roar reminded him of the weapon called "Lei Zhenzi" in Shi Yuan's hand. Listening to those who came from Jinling, this "thunder shock" will make such a roar...... And now that he heard the sound, he began to feel uneasy......
