Expedition to Qingzhou, south of Fenzhou, at noon, the small city of Baishui.

A cavalry quickly stopped fifty meters below the city wall, ignoring the extremely nervous Yuan army soldiers on the city wall, and said loudly: "I am Yan Biao, the deputy general under the command of General Zhou Bo of Xihe, the general has an order, and the door will be opened and surrendered within three hours, and the disobedient will be blamed when the city will be destroyed!" ”

There was a commotion on the city wall, and looking at the Xihe army with less than 300 horsemen on the city wall, they were also terrified to the extreme.

Since the Erdenet was broken and Subutai was killed, the surrounding state cities were all panicked to the extreme, and a few foreign races launched a desperate raid on the Xihe army that came from the attack, but they could not shake the Xihe army that was in high morale at this time, all of them became the spoils of the Xihe war, so several times, the alien races living in the nearby state cities of Fenzhou and Ganping Prefecture fled one after another, completely extinguishing everyone's luck psychology, and many towns fell to the wind.

In less than half an hour, the city gate opened with a creaking sound, and many people walked out of the city, old and young, dressed extraordinarily, and the leader was an ordinary robe, which was the city lord of Baishui City and the families of various families.

"Baishui City is good enough to wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Army, and if you are sluggish, please calm the anger of the Heavenly Army!" The city lord of the roe head rat walked out of more than 30 meters, and then knelt down violently, and his respectful attitude really gave people goosebumps.

"We are waiting for the arrival of the heavenly army!"

Seeing that the city lord was like this, the heads of the families behind Liang Youzuo were afraid of angering these killing gods, so they quickly knelt down.

Yan Biao and the three guards behind him looked at each other with interest, and there was a slow sarcasm in their eyes. But it's rare to open your mouth to hit the other party, and I've seen too many along the way, and I don't know how many people are shameless than Liang Youzuo. The really admirable diehards have been beheaded by others before they can attack, and they have been paid tribute to them, but Yan Biao himself has not encountered resistance, and now it is no longer strange.

"Leave half of the people to camp outside the city, and the rest follow me into the city!" Yan Biao turned sideways and ordered the guards on the left, and after speaking, he looked at Liang Youzuo and said, "This city lord." Don't kneel, what to do with you depends on my father-in-law. Now, you'd better lead the way! If you do a good job, you will make meritorious service, meritorious service. Got it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The general please, please inside, if there is a place where the hospitality is not considerate, please also ask the general to be gracious! Liang Youzuo suddenly got up quickly, bowed his head flatteringly, and then led the way in front.

Such a thing happened in various states and counties, and since the capture of Erdenet, the main force of the Yuan army deliberately retreated from the surrounding state cities. Instead of engaging with the Xihe Army, they requisitioned and transferred a group of young and strong and soft people. A large number of people and assets were lost to the Xihe Army. On the one hand, the pace of the Xihe Army was delayed in this way, so that the Xihe Army had to stop digesting what it had gained after annexing the state capital, and could not attack other places.

On the other hand, even if they don't want to admit it, these things do mean to buy road money.

If all the destruction is complete, nothing is left, and the Xihe army gets nothing, then the Xihe army will not have to care about anything, so how can it give up, and then it will naturally impact the periphery, even if it is only a small unit, the damage and loss to the Yuan army will be far greater than now.

"Huh, the main force has retreated to Hanzhou to rest, and this Wentai City is empty! However, I believe that it will not be long before this Wentai City will be more prosperous. ”

In the inner house of the governor of Wentai Town, a young man pushed the door out, this person was Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan did not return to Hanzhou with the army to rest, but secretly stayed in Wentai City to prepare for the plan of the expedition to Outer Mongolia. And in order to confuse the Yuan Dynasty and attract the attention of many forces, after capturing Erdenet, Zhang Yuan let the main force leave under his own banner.

The inner house was empty and uninhabited, Zhang Yuan walked to the garden next to him slowly, ignoring the servants around him, and only waited for a moment before Wu Jincao hurried over.

"The last general, Wu Jincao, see the lord!"

"Get up and sit down!" Zhang Yuan waved away the servants disguised by the guards and agents, and signaled to Wu Jincao: "I won't stay long this time, let's talk about the situation in Wentai City in the past few days when I am away." Has any anomaly been detected in the mansion? ”

"Back to the lord, three forces sneaked into the mansion and retreated without being noticed! There have been no forces coming in the past two days. ”

The main force of Xihe left Wentai City, and the construction of Wentai City did not stop, it is everyone who will find the importance of Wentai City, and at this time, Xu Rong did not retreat, it can be said that it is the emptiest moment in the entire Wentai City, spies from all forces naturally flock to Wentai City, or ambush, or search for any abnormal places, this original mayor's mansion will naturally not let go.

"Good!" Zhang Yuan nodded, expected, but completely relieved, and then asked, "What about the front line?" ”

"With the breakdown of Erdent, the morale of the Yuan army has plummeted, and they have no intention of fighting, the main force has taken the initiative to retreat and give up the land of Yizhou, and General Ba Dinghan has divided his troops into two roads, and has now occupied Linzhou, as well as the boundary of Xiaobanfuzhou! And General Zhang Guan and Li Dai's vanguard has arrived at the border of Lingzhou a few days ago, and it will not take a few days for good news to come. After a short rest for a few days, General Xu Rong sent the partial general Zhou Boqian to march quickly into Qingzhou, connecting three cities and ten towns in one day, and countless small villages! ”

"General Xu Rong sent General Xu Ze to scatter around Fenzhou to collect the people from all over Fenzhou, or move to the direction of Wentai City or move to Erdenet and near Lingkou Pass! And send General Mengshi to lead the mountain barbarians into the Cloud Mountains! Heading to Zhizhou, there is no news from General Mengshi yet! ”

“……”

Wu Jincao told Zhang Yuan everything from the general to the details, Zhang Yuan sat on the stone bench and listened quietly, and did not interrupt Wu Jincao's words.

By the time he had finished speaking, more than an hour had passed.

Zhang Yuandao: "Very good, from now on, you can start sending elites to explore the road to Outer Mongolia!" And, arrange in advance, after Chen Qing and Rui Jinqi arrived in the Yuan Dynasty, hide their traces! ”

It can be said that if it weren't for this time Ruijin Banner delayed the footsteps of Wuliang Hetai, Zhang Yuan would not be able to calmly arrange it in Sichuanzhou, and wait for the Outer Mongolian Iron Cavalry to send it to the door.

Therefore, in this expedition to Outer Mongolia, Zhang Yuan first thought of the troops he had to bring with him, which was Ruijin Qi, and I believe that this time, Ruijin Qi will give full play to their true strength. (To be continued......)
