Li Yunze frowned slightly. King Pingnan's team did not arrive so quickly.
The spies came every half an hour to report the news there, so the people who came could not be King Pingnan's men.
Then who sent these 100,000 troops?
King of Xia? Or King An?
There are not many people in the world who can dispatch an army of 100,000 at once.
Li Yunze squinted his eyes and thought, could he be from Dingbeihou?
Thinking of this, he said to Ye Mingxuan: "Brother, you talk to Guard Song and Head Guard Lin, and I'll go over and take a look."
Song Rui hurriedly said: "Your Highness, let me follow you. If the enemy comes, all the more than a hundred people I brought can join the battle."
"Okay, then you follow my elder brother to the city wall and wait while I go to find out the details of the other party. We can discuss anything after I come back."
Li Yunze did not refuse his kindness and went out after making the explanation.
Ye Yutong was already waiting outside with his horse. The two of them rode out of the city without saying anything.
"Peace, can you guess who it is?"
Li Yunze still missed her, "Most of them are from Dingbeihou, or they are King Xia and King An, but there should be no one else."
Ye Yutong also prefers that the visitor is a soldier from the North.
She suggested, “If Marquis Dingbei is here to help us, then this is a great opportunity.
How about we take this opportunity to attack the capital, kill Li Yunhao, and take the throne back to you. "
Li Yunze shook his head, "Tongtong, King Pingnan has been on the battlefield for decades and is very good at fighting. Moreover, he is cunning and cunning.
If it hadn't been for his prestige and the ambitions of King Liang and King Xia, it would have been impossible to wait and see and not take action until now.
This time we were able to capture five cities in a row, which also caught him off guard.
Now that he is on guard, it is impossible for us to easily capture the capital. "
Seeing that Ye Yutong was a little disappointed, he smiled and said: "Although we won't be able to regain the throne for a while, we can take this opportunity to occupy a few more cities."
Ye Yutong sighed softly, "I thought it was too simple. King Pingnan has more than 300,000 troops. Even if Dingbeihou and Li Yunhang help each other, this battle will not be that easy to win.
Moreover, there are King Xia and King An who are watching closely behind. Those two people probably still want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then sit back and enjoy the gains after we both lose. "
"Tongtong, it doesn't matter, just fight slowly. This is not something to be rushed.
Now with the help of Li Yunhang and Dingbei Hou, it is much faster than my original plan.
Aren’t King Pingnan’s troops arriving soon? Let me see their strength this time before making the next decision. "
Li Yutong smiled and nodded. In fact, she was not in a hurry, she just felt sorry for Ping An.
He and Uncle Lin had endured this for so many years. If they could have killed King Pingnan and Queen Mother Qiao earlier, they would have killed her.
The two of them can also let go of the hatred in their hearts as soon as possible and no longer have to bear so much pressure.
The two of them rode on horseback for about two-quarters of an hour when they saw a huge army coming this way.
Leading the charge on horseback were Li Yunhang and Shen Erlang, the second son of Dingbeihou. In the middle was Ye Dafeng on horseback.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and seemed to be having a great time.
Ye Yutong said in surprise: "Why is my father with them?"
Li Yunze looked at his father-in-law, who was surrounded by Shen Erlang and Li Yunhang, and said with a smile, "I must have met him on the road."
Shen Erlang saw the two of them first, and immediately got off his horse and saluted, "Shen Congwen sees His Highness the Crown Prince, and sees the Crown Princess."
"General Shen, please get up quickly."
Li Yunze helped him up kindly, and immediately saluted Ye Dafeng, "Father-in-law."
"Ping An, why have you lost so much weight? Is there not enough food to eat?" Ye Dafeng looked at his son-in-law and said distressedly.
"Father-in-law, I have grown taller, so I look a little thinner. In fact, I eat more.
And we are not short of food. We have not finished eating what we brought. Today, Chief Song asked his men to send more than a hundred carts of food and grass. The food from my uncle's side should be arriving soon. "
Ye Dafeng felt relieved now, "You are open to eating the grain. This year's harvest is good, and the output on our mountain is 20% higher than last year. I will bring you two hundred carts this time, and I will send another batch after a while."
Ye Yutong waited until they had finished chatting, then said with a smile: "Dad, why are you here in person?"
Ye Dafeng then looked at his daughter carefully and saw that she was not thinner, but just darker, so he smiled gently and said:
"I'm worried about you, and I think the food you brought will be almost finished, so I'll send you some and see if there's anything I can do to help.
You kids are doing such a big thing, your mother and I are so worried at home every day that we don't even dare to sleep. "
Ye Yutong took his arm and said coquettishly: "Hey, dad, what's there to worry about? You and mom still don't know what we are capable of?"
Ye Dapeng looked at his daughter acting coquettishly with him with a smile on his face, and the heart that he had been holding on to for a while was finally relieved.
Although he knew that his daughter was protected by gods, he and his wife could not help but worry.
King Pingnan was a general who spent his whole life fighting enemies on the battlefield.
He had heard this before when he joined the army under King Xia.
King Pingnan was ruthless and his methods of dealing with people were extremely cruel.
Moreover, all of his soldiers are very brave, and his cavalry army is even more frightening.
My children are so young, how can they be the match for that kind of old fox?
The father and daughter were talking quietly next to them.
Li Yunze arched his hands towards Li Yunhang and shouted affectionately: "Brother, thank you very much."
His gratitude was genuine.
He did not expect that Li Yunhang would take the initiative to lead troops to stop the opponent without knowing whether he was an enemy or a friend.
Moreover, the opponent's troops are much larger than their Northwest Army, so this involves taking great risks.
Li Yunze would accept this favor no matter what.
Li Yunhang was a little stunned by his brother's call.
Although the two are cousins, this is the first time they meet.
He looked carefully at the young man in front of him. Although he was only a teenager, he was very dazzling and his eyes were unfathomable.
Standing there, it was like a sword that had just been unsheathed, making people dare not underestimate it.
Although Li Yunze called him brother, he had to understand and gave a big salute to Li Yunze first.
Then he smiled and responded with family etiquette, "I only heard of my cousin's name before, but never had the chance to meet him.
It is a rare fate for us brothers to meet each other in Yuncheng now. When King Pingnan is driven away, we brothers will go have a celebratory drink. "
His words not only stated his position, but also formally surrendered to him.
Although he asked Feiying to convey his attitude a few days ago.
But now that we have met, I still want to tell him personally to reassure him.
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "Okay, then listen to my brother. When the time comes, I will be the host and set up a few tables at the largest restaurant in Yuncheng to entertain a few brothers."
Ye Yutong came over with a smile, "I remember that Brother Shen likes our wine the most. Then I will go to the shop to get a few more jars so that the brothers can enjoy themselves."
Shen Erlang laughed, "Sister, this is what you said, don't go back on it then."
Ye Yutong laughed and teased him, "Brother Shen, as long as you are not afraid of being punished by my sister, you can drink whatever you want. I will definitely take care of you."
Shen Erlang glared at her, "Sister, if you don't complain, your sister will never know that I drink."
Ye Yutong pointed at the 100,000 soldiers behind him and deliberately teased him, "Even if I don't say anything, can you shut the mouths of all these soldiers?"
Shen Erlang said proudly: "As long as you don't talk, I have a way to shut them all up."
Li Yunze glanced at Ye Yutong with a smile, "Don't tease Second Brother Shen. It's been such a hard journey. Let's take these soldiers into the city to rest."
After hearing this, Shen Erlang first glared at Ye Yutong, and then said to Li Yunze in a flattering manner:
"His Highness still knows how to care for people, unlike me, a godfather who likes to complain."
Seeing how familiar they talked, Li Yunhang knew that they must have dealt with each other before, and their relationship was particularly good.
It seems that his guess is correct, Dingbei Hou should have surrendered to the prince's family long ago.
He also laughed and teased Shen Erlang, "General Shen, the Crown Princess is my fiancée's god-sister. Why do you also call me god-sister?"
"My eldest sister-in-law, my wife-in-law, and my third uncle's brother-in-law's wife, all three of them are sworn friends with Tongtong, so I can only call them girls."
Shen Erlang pretended to be helpless and said, then looked at Li Yunhang and said mysteriously in his ear:
"It turns out that your fiancée and Tongtong are also sisters, so we will be considered brothers-in-law in the future. Then we will go to her shop to get drinks together."
Li Yunhang smiled and said nothing.
He would not be fooled by Shen Erlang. Even if he liked drinking, he would ask his wife to get it. He would not do anything like that.
Shen Laoer couldn't see what he was thinking, so he snorted in his heart and ignored this arrogant prince.
Ye Dafeng smiled and shook his head, and said to Shen Erlang: "General Shen, Tongtong is joking with you.
If you want to drink from now on, just go to the shop and get it. I will give you a token later.
If the shop doesn’t have the wine you want to drink, ask the shopkeeper to make it for you. Even if we don’t sell our own winery, we still want your brothers to drink it. "
Shen Erlang quickly raised his hands and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Ye."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Yutong proudly, winking and looking very arrogant.
His lively expression made everyone laugh.
Li Yunze smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's quickly call the brothers into the city to rest."
Shen Erlang immediately jumped on the horse and his face became serious.
Different from the playful smile just now, now he looks like a general about to go to the battlefield.
He waved to the soldiers behind him, and the team slowly moved forward.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Shen Erlang was the son of Dingbei Hou and a famous fighting hero in the North.
I don’t know how many people wanted to bring wine to him and ask him to taste it. How could such a person be short of wine?
The reason for making such a joke was firstly because he valued the sisterhood between Ye Yutong and his wife, and secondly to give face to the Crown Prince.
