The days were not quiet for too long. Three days later, the enemy army came with a large force of soldiers and horses.

Li Yaonan's face was heavy, he didn't expect the enemy army to come so fast, looking at the dark enemy army in the distance, to be honest, if the southeast army didn't come to rescue, he didn't know how long Nanquan could last.

Lin Zhiyuan was expressionless, and his condition was not much better. It was obvious that the enemy army had joined the brigade. All the soldiers in Nanquan added up to only 4 people, how could they resist the enemy's [-] army.

Mr. Wang looked to the southeast all day long and looked forward to it. The disappointment was obvious, and he was anxious and restless. However, time would not wait for anyone, and the situation would not change because of his anxiety. What should come would always come. Now, the situation in Nanquan is imminent, and the enemy army will soon approach the city.

When there is no way out, human potential is endless. Li Yaonan has to admit that although General Wang Can has a lot of selfishness, he does have a way of marching and fighting. The ruthlessness with which he got up was truly admirable.

This battle was fought very hard, facing the enemy head-on, except for a high city wall, Nanquan had no advantage at all. The disparity in manpower caused our army to suffer heavy casualties, and the whole city was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

At this moment, Si Yan couldn't see that he had been tricked a few days ago. He gritted his teeth with hatred and vowed to take revenge. All over the place.

For five consecutive days, the soldiers in Nanquan did not close their eyes. The enemy used wheel tactics to keep them busy.

The atmosphere became more and more serious day by day, despair surged into the hearts of the soldiers, and the determination to fight to the death made Nanquan unite and explode with unprecedented strength.

They persisted for another three days. During the long wait, the southeast army rushed to send people to report that there was still a hundred miles to go.

Li Yaonan's high-hanging heart finally had a solution, he was the one who pulled his eldest brother into the battlefield, and he was the one who left the child and husband behind, if something really went wrong, he dared not think about the consequences.

General Wang Can and Li Dusi finally smiled. They made no mistake in their bet. The victory is close at hand. As long as they persist for one more day, they will win the game.

The news that the southeast army was coming soon spread to every corner of Nanquan. Everyone was full of energy, and the fire of hope was ignited in their eyes.

"Kill—" The enemy army is coming fiercely.

"Kill--" Our army resisted desperately, swords and swords were shadowed on the city wall, blood flowed into rivers, and another day of fighting passed.

The next morning, Lian Jinghui arrived at Nanquan with an army of [-].

The people on the street wept uncontrollably, and the whole city was shrouded in a thick layer of grief.

"Xiao Linzi." After Lian Jinghui got off his horse, he punched Lin Zhiyuan first. This time, this careless junior gave him a big problem. God knows how much effort he spent in order to rush over.

"General Lian." Lin Zhiyuan was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, only the aura on his body became cold and threatening in an instant.

Li Yaonan laughed cheerfully, he didn't expect that elder brother had another nickname.

After a group of people entered the house, they sat for less than a quarter of an hour. The soldiers outside came to report quickly, and the enemy army started another round of attack.

"Damn it." Lian Jinghui swears, puts his helmet on his head, and rushes out of the house, leading the army with a wave: "Open the city gate and kill me."

"Yes!"

The morale of the Southeast Army was high, and they answered sonorously.

Nanquan opened the city gate for the second time, and the enemy soldiers who were fighting were taken aback. In their eyes, Nanquan was a shrinking turtle. Now that the city gate is opened wide, it is not like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, there must be a conspiracy.

Before we could react more, the Jin army had already arrived.

The result of this battle is self-evident. The Southeast Army won a complete victory. The Qiang people adopted a wheel-to-wheel battle style. Each wave of attack only had more than [-] people. Lian Jinghui had a large number of people, and Nanquan finally bullied more than once. , Killed the enemy without leaving a piece of armor.

The majestic and majestic army full of killing, the people in Nanquan City shouted happily.

"Our army has won."

"Our army has won."

"The Southeast Army is our savior."

The common people were excited to see the army return from victory, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, with tears in their eyes, they knew that Nanquan was really saved this time.

That night, the county government prepared a celebration banquet, which lasted until midnight.

Afterwards, Lian Jinghui severely reprimanded Lin Zhiyuan, and when he received the distress letter from Yunnan, he was speechless and didn't know what to say. After all, Yunnan was not under his jurisdiction, so it was a shame to ask him to lead the army to fight. Lin Zhiyuan could figure out that if he was a little careless, the entire family army might be in danger.

However, the junior brother's letter was sincere and every word was extremely urgent, how could he ignore it, he had no choice but to finally get a transfer order, and it was not too late to hurry, the junior brother was too courageous, this battle was a little The consequences of the mistake were disastrous.

Lin Zhiyuan raised the corners of his lips mockingly, glanced at Lian Jinghui lightly, and said nothing.

Lian Jinghui finished his sentence and laughed dryly twice, determined not to admit it, he was actually very excited in his heart, he had been displeased with the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for a long time, this time he caught the opportunity to add insult to injury.The junior brother is really good, he thinks about the Southeast Army in everything, and his father didn't dote on him in vain.

Li Yaonan calmed down completely, and arranged for the common people to do what they should do. This year's spring plowing must not be delayed. He firmly believed that the Jin army would win the battle. According to what Xiao Fulang said, it seemed that this battle lasted for three full years. Now that he had his eldest brother and the Southeast Army, he thought it would be enough to drive away the Qiang people for a year.

At the same time, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou also began to gather troops. The governor of Yunnan abandoned the city and fled. He didn't have to wait any longer. With the governor being scapegoated, he believed that his guilt should not be too great.It's just that he didn't expect that Li Yaonan would suppress the news of the governor's escape and gave it to him seven full days late.

On the battlefield, every second counts. Seven days doesn't sound like a long time, but it also takes a few days to send a letter, and it takes a few days to rush to Nanquan. The addition of a few days is enough to make the governor lose all opportunities. All calculations are empty.

Under Li Yaonan's management, Nanquan gradually regained its vitality. The Southeast Army won another battle, and the common people celebrated endlessly. As long as General Lian was mentioned, no one would give him a thumbs up.

The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, as a big official of the frontier, has his own news channel. When he arrived in Nanquan, his face was so dark that water could be wrung out, and the southeast army's hand was too long. The sky is rushing, and Nanquan County has sent a total of [-] urgent letters. Why did the governor come only now? It is obvious that the southeast army is farther away.

Governor Yungui's face changed, he knew something bad was going to happen, and when he saw General Wang Shen, he was even more sure of this.

General Wang Shen first saluted the governor, and then said slowly: "The general received an urgent report that the situation in Nanquan is critical. I have waited for a long time without a reply from your lord, and thought I was delayed on the way, so I decided to bring troops to the rescue. I hope your lord Atonement."

Governor Zhao laughed angrily at him, and called out three good words: "General Wang Shen is really capable."

"My lord, thank you." From the moment he led the troops to the rescue, he was destined to be on the opposite side of the governor. In that case, he didn't have to worry about it, and said indifferently: "The news of Nanquan's victory has already been dispatched to the capital. Your Excellency, you don't need to worry. .”

Governor Zhao's face changed instantly, his fierce eyes wanted to eat people: "Wang Rongfa, you are very good."

General Wang Shen smiled complacently: "I can't be praised by adults, I just did what I should do."

Governor Zhao was trembling with anger from his contemptuous attitude. He never thought that there would be something beyond his control in Yunnan.

In fact, these are not the most important. Governor Zhao did not know what to recall, his face turned pale in an instant, and there were big drops of cold sweat on his forehead. Because his wife and brother made the biggest mistake in this Yunnan war, he sent the news I suppressed it, and I wanted to wait for the governor to escape before reporting it. First, I could shirk my responsibility, and second, I could pay off the crime.Unexpectedly, General Wang Can actually sent the news to the capital in advance, and his act of seizing the memorial has now become an ironclad evidence.

Governor Zhao now only hopes that his memorial will be faster than General Wang's, otherwise he dare not imagine how the emperor will be furious when he knows about the war in Yunnan.

However, is this possible?Compared with his memorial, who will reach the capital faster, the answer is obvious without thinking.

Governor Zhao looked frustrated, stared at the proud man in front of him with cold eyes, and said fiercely: "Wang Rongfa privately dispatched troops, and he should be dealt with according to military law." If he can't deal with Lian Jinghui, why can't he deal with a mere general?

"Governor Zhao means that General Wang Shen should turn a blind eye to the war in Yunnan just like you?" Lian Jinghui sneered, not hiding the contempt in his eyes.

"You..." Governor Zhao was furious.

Lian Jinghui raised his eyebrows without showing any mercy: "I have already submitted the memorial, how to deal with it is up to the emperor to decide, Governor Zhao should take care of himself."

"Don't worry about it, little general, let's wait and see." Governor Zhao hated to the extreme, but he knew very well in his heart that now is not the time to argue, the most important thing is how to dispel the emperor's doubts, snorted coldly, and turned his head Looking at Nanquan County Magistrate: "Lead the way."

"Governor, please." County magistrate Yang was anxious, and walked ahead cautiously to lead the way. According to his selfishness, he actually prefers General Lian, but the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou can't offend him. Become the cannon fodder for Shangguan's confrontation.

Governor Zhao here is racking his brains to think about how to atone for his sins. Over there, the emperor has just finished his morning court, and he is in a good mood today. The fish in Mingwei Academy have already taken the bait. After decades, he doesn't care about waiting for some time, he has a lot of patience now.

But at this time, there was an uproar at the gate of the palace. A soldier rode his horse and galloped, shouting loudly as he ran: "Report—speed up the [-]-mile rush, and the battle in Yunnan will be a great victory."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were in an uproar. Where did the war in Yunnan come from? How could it be a great victory? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before? However, who would dare to lie about such a thing.

The soldier got off his horse, handed in his token, and presented the victory report with both hands.

The guards at the palace gate didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly sent people into the palace one by one.

Not long after, the eunuchs next to the emperor came out, seeing that it was a military memorial, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to the imperial study.

Wang Gonggong took the memorial and sent the little eunuch away. Thinking of the recent political affairs in the court, in order to avoid being angered by the emperor, Wang Gonggong turned his mouth a few times, replaced the good news with an urgent memorial, and said respectfully: "Report to the emperor, Yunnan Speed ​​up and rush for eight hundred miles."

The emperor frowned and asked him to present the memorial. After thinking about it carefully, Yunnan seems to have nothing important to do recently. Seeing the familiar handwriting on the memorial, he felt a little bit of a smile. , but he didn't want any official to bend the law for personal gain, but he only hoped that something serious happened to Li Qing's family.

The emperor didn't care about this memorial. In his opinion, if something happened in Yunnan, there would be governors and governors to submit the memorial, and it would never be the turn of a fifth-rank official.

The emperor shook his head, opened the memorial unhurriedly, and only glanced at it casually, his face suddenly changed, and his mood changed from sunny to cloudy in an instant. After reading the memorial carefully, the emperor was already on the verge of anger, that feeling was like He was slapped a few times and slapped in the face, definitely a slap in the face.

The emperor was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he smashed the inkstone in hand at that time, the anger on his face was undisguised: "Check it out, let me check it hard! I have a group of good officials under my hands." Just now he was still thinking Well, it was not the turn of a fifth-rank official to report on the incident in Yunnan, but he was immediately slapped in the face with a "slap!" If there was no such good news, how long would he be kept secret.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he was obviously very angry. Li Yaonan's memorial was very skillful. He first talked about Nanquan's victory, then the governor's escape, and also said that the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou had not seen him for a long time and had sent more than a dozen distress letters. Lin Zhiyuan, General Wang Can and Li Dusi led troops to come, Nanquan was not easy to fight, so they begged the emperor to send food and grass.

The tone of the objective tone is like the previous secrets, without any embellishments. However, it is precisely because of this that the emperor is even more angry. If what Li Qing's family said is true, how bad is Yunnan? He has already lost several cities. Unaware.

The more angry the emperor was, the calmer his face became. He calmed down quickly and said expressionlessly, "It is said that Prince Lianjun and Marquis Zhenbei will enter the palace."

"Cha!" Eunuch Wang quickly backed out.

The emperor frowned and thought deeply, regretting in his heart, he shouldn't have taken Li Qing's family's reminder to heart, it is really hateful that a large number of officials escaped in a battle in Yunnan, he did not doubt the authenticity of the victory report, but such a major event also You can't just listen to one-sided words, you must send someone to check.

After King Lianjun and Marquis Zhenbei entered the palace, the emperor immediately ordered them to leave for Yunnan immediately.

The memorials of officials everywhere have always been reported layer by layer. There are only battle reports, and the generals can go straight up to the memorial. It also takes several procedures to go directly to Tianting.

This is the reason why there were so many corrupt officials in ancient times. There are many officials who cover the sky with their hands. It is actually normal for officials to seize memorials. .

Governor Zhao is the unlucky one.

Not long after King Lianjun and Marquis Zhenbei left, the battle report from Yunnan arrived in the capital again. After Li Yaonan retreated to the second line, General Wang Can was the main general. The situation in Nanquan was so critical that he would naturally not let go of the opportunity to complain to the emperor. Shangshu also took the opportunity to report that Lian Jinghui had received a distress letter from Nanquan, and after obtaining the permission of the Shangguan, he led [-] soldiers and horses to rescue him. Due to the inconvenient transportation, he only got the news now.

The Minister of the Ministry of War said this in order to report to the emperor first, lest things would break out and someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.

The emperor was very upset. Governor Zhao was his confidant, and he was there to guard against the southeast army. He knew that the Lian family was loyal, but as an emperor, he would never allow any family to dominate.It's just that Governor Zhao is too disappointing. Nanquan has been in an emergency for so long, but he hasn't sent troops to rescue him.

At this time, the emperor didn't know that the war in Yunnan was mainly due to the defeat of Governor Zhao's brother-in-law, and the Qiang people came from the border in one fell swoop. Now the emperor is only dissatisfied with Governor Zhao's slow action. Of course, he is not satisfied with Lian Jinghui. He was even more dissatisfied, thinking that the southeast army's Yue Zu had stretched his hands too far. However, his mood did not last long. A few days later, Governor Zhao's memorial arrived.

First he pleaded guilty to the emperor, his words were sincere and sincere, and then he reported to the governor about abandoning the city and fleeing. A sense of shirking responsibility.

Sometimes, there are some things that really cannot be compared, and the results are immediate.

The emperor quickly complicated the matter. If Governor Zhao was not at fault, why would he shirk his responsibility?After Lian Jinghui's memorial arrived, all the answers will be revealed.

The emperor almost vomited blood out of anger, at this time he did not blame Lian Jinghui Yuezu for acting as his substitute, the southeast army had already arrived in Nanquan, but there was no news from his governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the emperor did not feel that he was blind and valued such an irresponsible The Governor, he only thought that the situation of more than ten years had changed people, and they were no longer the person he trusted.

As soon as the emperor thought about it, if the Southeast Army hadn't arrived in time, Nanquan might not be safe, and he felt depressed for a while.

With the arrival of Zhezi from Yunnan one after another, the emperor found out that the border general was actually Governor Zhao's brother-in-law. He couldn't understand why his governor of Yunnan and Guizhou ignored the people of Yunnan for his own selfishness.

The emperor was deeply regretful, and seeing that more than half of the officials in Yunnan had escaped, he immediately swiped his pen, and without waiting for Prince Lian and Marquis Zhenbei to report back, he promoted Li Yaonan to guard the road in Yunnan, and promoted many officials. More than half of an official position in Yunnan is vacant. If the position is not assigned, he is afraid that no one will govern Yunnan.

At the same time, the emperor even demoted many officials. Except for the governor of Yunnan who beheaded the public, the rest of the officials who fled from the city were all sentenced to exile, and their nine clans would never be officials.

The emperor believed that this punishment would be more severe than beheading. As the sinners of the family, those officials who escaped would never have a better life!

As for Governor Zhao, after all, the emperor held it up high and put it down lightly, and only demoted him as a general, and now he is of the same rank as General Wang.Before King Lianjun and Marquis of Zhenbei came back, the emperor would not do much to him, everything would affect the whole body, even if General Zhao was bad in every way, being loyal to him was enough to offset many mistakes.

The emperor's anger shocked the entire court. The princes began to rejoice that Yunnan is a barren place, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou is the emperor's confidant. Otherwise, they might not be able to escape the turmoil in the court this time.
