Both the Dianshi and the officials were shocked. The former hurriedly asked, "Why is this happening in the Ming Dynasty? Since we just lamented that heroes have no use, isn't this a God-given opportunity? If we can resist Fang Jun's army, it will be a great achievement. Zhao Guogong will definitely not be stingy with rewards. Officials It's easy to get promoted to level three, so why go out of the city and surrender? Once Zhao Guogong learns that the Ming Dynasty surrendered without a fight, he will definitely be furious, and I'm afraid he will be severely punished!"
He believed that this was a good opportunity. As the saying goes, "When the country is in trouble, we will recognize good generals, and when we are in trouble, we will recognize loyal ministers." It is when the situation is urgent that we can see who are capable ministers and officials and who are incompetent.
Fang Jun led his army to attack thousands of miles to aid the East Palace, which shocked Guanlong and caused panic and low morale. If Fang Jun could be attacked at this time, he would naturally become famous and resound throughout the world!
Li Yifu almost lost his temper. He flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "The Duke of Yue is extremely talented and famous, and the soldiers under his command are an army that has fought hundreds of battles. This attack has traveled thousands of miles from the Western Regions to aid the East Palace. He is loyal, brave, and has unparalleled integrity. It’s time for us to open the door to welcome you, kneel under the horses’ hooves and sincerely rely on you. How can we ignore our loyalty and help the tyrants to do evil? If you dare to say such rebellious words again, don’t blame me for being unkind and handing you over to the Duke of Yue!”
After saying that, he strode out of the government office without looking back and went straight to the city gate.
Sniping Fang Jun?
It’s just a ridiculous dream! The soldiers under Fang Jun were fearless and victorious in every battle. Even the cavalry of Xue Yantuo and Tuguhun could not move them in the slightest. Instead, they were beaten to pieces. No matter how unruly and confident Li Yifu was, he did not dare to raise the slightest bit of "win in battle" The extravagant hope of ".
What's more, he and Fang Jun have known each other for a long time. Although he was "favored by giving clothes" in the past, for some reason, Fang Jun always had an undisguised hostility towards him later, and his fear and vigilance were obvious.
If someone else were to attack Fang Jun in Jingyang, even if he was defeated in the end, Fang Jun would probably just tie him up and throw him aside. But now it is his Li Yifu who is guarding Jingyang. God knows whether Fang Jun will kill him with one blow after breaking the city. Already...
…
In the wind and snow, tens of thousands of cavalry were pressing towards Jingyang City like a mountain. The small city wall was surrounded by cavalry all over the mountains and plains. It was like a rock in the ocean tide, which could be completely annihilated by one wave.
Fang Jun did not make a detailed siege plan. The current situation was urgent and the troops were very fast. Although they urgently needed the grain and fodder from Changpingcang in Jingyang City to supply the army, they could not stay for too long.
"All armies move forward and attack the city walls from all directions. The city will be captured within half an hour. The first to reach the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be promoted to two ranks!"
Fang Jun gave an order loudly, and the whole army was so excited that they howled with excitement. Their morale was high. Countless cavalry whipped their horses and rushed towards the city.
The iron hoofs trampled the ice and snow on the ground, the whole land was trembling slightly, and the towering city walls were crumbling!
Then, the gate of Jingyang City was opened from the inside. Officials in the city, large and small, wearing various official robes, quickly walked out under the guidance of one person. When they saw the charging cavalry approaching, they all turned pale with fear. , the timid one even knelt on the ground with his legs weak...
"Uu——"
Countless war horses galloped over and reined their horses together in front of the city gate. Their majestic momentum was matched with sharp swords and guns, and they were filled with murderous intent!
Li Yifu tried his best to calm down, bowed his head to the ground, and said loudly, "Li Yifu, the humble magistrate of Jingyang County, leads the city officials to welcome the Duke of Yue!"
The cavalry looked at each other, surrendering now?
It should be noted that Fang Jun had just offered a very high reward, and the first comers were treated well. However, in the blink of an eye, the county magistrate left the city and surrendered, making everyone's excitement disappear in an instant.
I really want to kill this weak-minded county magistrate with one knife, and then continue to attack the city regardless...
Li Yifu clearly felt the vicious and malicious glances around him, and became more and more timid. He could only bow deeper and said loudly again, "Welcome the Duke of Yue!"
The Jingyang officials behind him were also sweating profusely. In front of him were the countless proud warriors who had won consecutive battles against the Hu cavalry. Even if they just rode their horses without moving, there was still an invisible force of iron-blooded killing force. The anger rushed to his face, and he seemed to be able to gallop forward at any time, swinging the sword high...
Fortunately, after a while, when all the Jingyang officials were frightened, the cavalry in front of them separated to both sides, revealing a passage, and Fang Jun lined up and came out surrounded by his own soldiers.
Li Yifu let out a long sigh of relief and bowed his head to the ground again, "I am humble enough to meet the Duke of Yue!"
The officials behind him also shouted in unison, "See the Duke of Yue!"
Fang Jun sat upright on his horse and looked down at Li Yifu, who had his head lowered in front of him. He was a little surprised. Didn't this guy join Changsun Wuji? Why did he become the magistrate of Jingyang County again...
However, this was not the time to reminisce about the past. He waved his hand and ordered, "I'd like to ask Magistrate Li to lead the army into the city for repairs. I have been running for thousands of miles and am short of food and fodder. Please cooperate with us in opening the Changping Granary to replenish food and fodder. The East Palace is the official seat of the empire." Shuo, we are currently under siege by the rebels and are in critical danger. I am eager to rush to Chang'an to rescue you. If anyone delays the army's schedule and violates the plan, don't blame me for punishing them severely with military law!"
Li Yifu hurriedly said, "I don't dare to humble my position! All the officials in Jingyang are loyal to your majesty and the prince. They work hard and die without mercy! I just lament that the rebels are powerful, and we are responsible for guarding Jingyang, so we can just stay in peace and defend Jingyang. That's it." I feel ashamed that I have betrayed the emperor's favor! At present, the Duke of Yue is rushing thousands of miles to come to his aid. He is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and his loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon. Naturally, we will fully cooperate with him, but we have orders and we will do anything!"
Behind you is the official lady of Jingyang! I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen you so shameless. You had previously vowed that the East Palace had no future, and you were trying to find ways to make a contribution in front of Zhao Guogong. In the blink of an eye, you have become a loyal supporter of the East Palace...
Fang Jun didn't care. Although he didn't know that Li Yifu had previously told his agency that he wanted to attach himself to Guan Long, he was the person who knew Li Yifu best in this era. No matter how much he talked about it, how could he not know that he was cunning, cunning, and cunning? A capricious character?
Immediately with a wave of his hand, the soldiers under his command were divided into two. One part drove straight from the city gate and entered Jingyang City. First, soldiers rushed to various streets and alleys, loudly announcing that the Youtun Guards were stationed, and strictly ordered the merchants and common people in the city to stay in their homes and not move around in order to ensure peace. To appease the people.
Then the army went straight to Changping Granary, opened the warehouse door, and replenished the food supply.
The other part did not enter the city at all, bypassed Jingyang City and crossed the Jingshui River, then rushed southward and went straight to the Dongwei Bridge.
Fang Jun stayed in Jingyang City and took his troops and Jingyang officials to Changping Granary. He dismounted his horse and went inside to inspect. He was relieved when he saw mountains of grain and a warehouse full of grass.
The army traveled long distances, was lightly armed, and had run out of food and supplies. If it could not receive supplies in time, it would be unsustainable, which would not only lead to a sharp drop in morale, a sudden drop in combat power, but also the risk of collapse.
Fortunately, the Changping Granary has plenty of food, which can support a battle of more than 100,000 people.
Li Yifu respectfully accompanied you and said cautiously, "The Duke of Yue's thousands of miles to come to your aid will surely boost the hearts of the people in the world and make them more determined to support the East Palace. The Guanlong rebels are afraid of your reputation, so they must be in chaos and their morale will plummet." The Duke of Yue will surely be able to stabilize the world, eliminate rebellion, and achieve great military exploits!"
These words are not flattery.
Although he was rejected by the Guanlong disciples and had to submit to Jingyang City, he was always paying attention to the situation in Chang'an. Guanlong is powerful, and now it has united many clans in Hedong and Hexi. With strong military strength and tyrannical fighting power, they captured the imperial city and besieged Taiji Palace. Victory was within easy reach. The East Palace was already at the end of its power, and its defeat could only happen in an instant.
However, Fang Jun led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack thousands of miles and suddenly appeared in Guanzhong, which suddenly changed the situation.
He previously believed that even if Fang Jun returned to Chang'an, Dingtian would severely inflict heavy losses on the Guanlong rebels, but he would not be able to support the East Palace to turn defeat into victory. After all, there was still a huge gap in strength between the two sides. But seeing with his own eyes the majestic appearance of his cavalry, and even the elite Hu cavalry accompanying them, I immediately felt that the victory or defeat of both sides was no longer so certain.
After all, no matter how many people the Guanlong army has, the lack of regular troops is a fatal weakness. However, Fang Jun's soldiers are capable of hundreds of battles, and their combat power is really too strong...
Fang Jun stood in front of Changping Granary with his hands folded, watching the soldiers carry out the grain and fodder. Listening to Li Yifu's words, he smiled half-heartedly and said, "County Magistrate Li has extraordinary talents and outstanding abilities. Why did he go back to Jingyang as soon as he got around?" Serve as county magistrate?”
Previously, Li Yi Mansion had already been the Ten Thousand Years Order. Although they were all the lords of the same county, their ranks were very different, and their power and status were very different. If they took a step further, they could directly enter the center, and at least become the Minister of the Sixth Division, which would have a bright future.
