On September 11, Song Yu's army arrived at the foot of Gushan County.
At this time, the Gushan County Magistrate reviewed the situation, opened the door to ask for surrender, and presented the official seal and household registration documents.
Once this incident came out, it was a big blow to the reputation of the Linjiang Li family.
After all, Gushan County is where the Li family started. Although most of them later moved to Linjiang Prefecture, the influence left in Gushan is still extraordinary.
Now, even Gushan County is not optimistic about the Li family and has taken the initiative to surrender. How will the people of the Linjiang family view the Li family?
Affected by this, the other two counties surrendered without fighting when Song Yu's troops came to the city.
By September 16th, the armies of Song Yu and Ye Hongyan had met at the foot of Linjiang Mansion City, preparing to complete their achievements in one battle.
Outside Linjiang Mansion, there are continuous camps, divided into squares according to the guards, with large flags erected on them.
The one in the middle is Song Yu's handsome flag, standing proudly, commanding the generals.
At the head of Linjiang City, Li Xun looked down. The flags were like a forest, mighty and majestic, but his own general was snatched away by God. His face was pale, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
As early as a month ago, when he heard the news of Li Rubi's defeat in the army, Li Xun had become much older. In the past few days, the continuous bad news came, which hit the old man hard.
It turns out that Li Xun's body is relatively healthy and his face is rosy.
Now, he looks haggard, and the hair on his head is completely white, as if he is dying.
But at this time, the hatred of killing his son surged violently in his chest, and it was so hot that he gained some strength in his limbs.
His eyes were red and he glanced around. The people behind him were shocked when they saw this scene.
Just listen to it. Li Xun's sneer came: "What are you afraid of?"
"Although Song Yu leads an army of five thousand, how can we, Linjiang City, be so easy to defeat?"
"We have imprisoned the heads of each family again, and collected all the villagers to protect the courtyard. Including the previous garrison, there are also two thousand."
"With the help of the city, we will definitely let Song Yu, the traitor, lose his troops and generals"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone is in a big uproar, this is imprisoning the clan leader. All the private soldiers were recruited, but the Linjiang family was severely offended. The Li family's basic reputation in Linjiang was greatly offended. Destroyed all at once.
And competed with Song Yu's army. If the casualties were heavy, Song Yu would not see much blood after breaking the city, but this time, their escape route was almost cut off.
Li Xun looked at Song Yu¡¯s camp below.
I couldn¡¯t help but sneer: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have been rushing for eight hundred miles to ask for help from the imperial court and the state. Don¡¯t forget. I am a serious Linjiang prefect¡±
"In less than two months, the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court will come down. As long as our army can defend for two months, Song Yu will be allowed to fetch water with a bamboo basket, and he will also sacrifice his life to be buried with my son!"
Thinking of Li Rubi's death, Li Xun's anger grew stronger and stronger.
He couldn¡¯t help but laugh wildly: ¡°Haha haha When the time comes, the big deal is, if I offer Qinglong Pass and Linjiang Mansion, then my Li family will still be loyal ministers. The reputation will not be damaged!¡±
"But that Song Yu must die without a burial place."
"I wish I could cut this boy into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart"
He is in a crazy state of mind, and is almost no longer the calm and wise person he was before.
The people below stared at each other with their eyes wide open and their mouths open.
Li Xun¡¯s move is to completely give up on the road to hegemony.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also a clever way to survive.
After two major defeats, the Li family has long lost the possibility of being swept away. Moreover, they have completely hated Song Yu. If Linjiang City is destroyed, the lives of the entire family will be in danger.
It would be better to ask the imperial court to intervene. As long as the complaint is severe, the imperial court and the state will not want to see someone unify Wu Nan.
Although the imperial court was somewhat beyond its reach, the state and animal husbandry side would definitely send Texas soldiers to quell the chaos.
Qinglong Pass is in the hands of the Li family, so they can open the door and hunt down the thieves.
Although the thoughts of the Li family are already known to everyone, at least there is no trace of backlash on the surface. At worst, they can still keep their official position.
But Song Yu¡¯s side had done all the most rebellious things, and they had to fight to the death with the state soldiers.
In this way, you can also borrow someone else's help to avenge your son's murder!
For this reason, even if you offend some aristocratic families, what are you afraid of? Anyway, whether the Li family will settle down in Wu Nan in the future is still open to question.
This is a plan to end together.
If it succeeds, then both the Li family and Song Yu will completely lose their hope of competing for world hegemony.
The people below thought carefully and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Sighing secretly at Li XunOld and spicy, this is really difficult to deal with. It seems that he has not lost his mind because of the loss of his beloved son.
Some people who had other thoughts in mind could not help suppressing them.
Li Xun looked at this scene and smiled with satisfaction. He looked at the camp below with fire in his eyes.
¡¡
Song Yu¡¯s army camp.
Song Yu, dressed in military uniform, patrolled the military camp. From time to time, he said something to Ye Hongyan and Li Dazhuang beside him.
At this time, a soldier came forward, half-kneeling and reported: "Commander, the people from Baiyun Temple are here!"
"Okay! Take the big tent with you, we will be here shortly."
Song Yu said with a smile, the power of Baiyun Temple in Wu is indeed very important and intricate. Build up a huge network of relationships.
Since Song Yu sent out troops, a steady stream of information has been sent to the official document table, and he knows almost every move of the Li family.
Before, several counties in Gushan surrendered without a fight, thanks to Baiyunguan's bribery and internal response.
Of course, the most important thing is that Song Yu is now powerful, and Linjiang Mansion has weak defenses, and has lost confidence. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to be persuaded.
Song Yu and Ye Hongyan completed their tour of the camp and returned to the main tent, where they saw a man in gray clothes already waiting.
When this man saw Song Yu, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I've met Lord Jiedushi!"
"Well! How is the situation in Linjiang Mansion recently?" Song Yu waved her hand, exempted the man from the courtesy, and asked.
"Li Xun, the prefect of Linjiang, hosted a banquet last night for the heads of Linjiang's aristocratic families. At the banquet, he suddenly turned against him and imprisoned all the heads of the families, and also recruited all his private soldiers"
"It's a good decision, but as a result, the Linjiang family has been severely offended. It's just a matter of survival!" Song Yu commented lightly, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"
"Li Xun seems to have made some changes. He sent a messenger to the state to pray for reinforcements!" This news was just found out before, but it was extremely important. Song Yu was shocked.
He also understood that before, it was the Li family who locked the Qinglong Pass to isolate outside interference, and the Wu Nan War was the only way to avoid outside influence.
But if the Li family opens and closes the door, the situation in Wu Nan will be disrupted immediately.
After all, Song Yu still only has the land of two mansions. He has not unified Wu Nan, and his soldiers and food wages cannot compete with the state.
"Does Li Xun want to destroy both the jade and the stone?" Song Yu sneered.
???????????????????? However, at this time, the various places in Wuzhou were not very stable. If the state pastor wanted to mobilize soldiers, it would not be a matter of one or two days. It would take at least a month for the state soldiers to reach Wu Nan.
If Linjiang Mansion and Qinglong Pass cannot be captured before then, the situation Song Yu will face will be very unfavorable.
Even if you come up with a clever plan to defeat the state soldiers, you will still lose your troops and generals, it will take a long time, you will lose your time, and there will be no chance of success.
But looking at the man in gray below, Song Yu smiled again.
"You, Baiyun Guan, have no urgency after hearing this news. You must have already had a countermeasure. Let's talk! If it can be done, this town will not hesitate to reward"
The man in gray clothes saluted and said: "Your Majesty, your discernment is as bright as a torch, but this is not our idea, but God's blessing."
"The Linjiang family is dissatisfied with what Li Xun has done, and is willing to surrender to the general and offer Li Xun's head!"
"Although Li Xun has imprisoned the head of the family, there are our people among the guards. The private soldiers can be disrupted and reorganized, or they can be connected in series, and they will be launched soon."
The influence of the Linjiang family is not small. It is inevitable that the Li family will be infiltrated as they are newly arrived. Baiyun Temple is also interested in it. As a middleman, it connects all parties. The Li family is the turtle in the urn.
"Good!" Song Yu nodded.
He looked at the man in gray again, with a hint of amusement in his expression.
"Zheng Xuan, Li Rubi, I'm still your student, but you turned against me and sent a message to our army. If Li Rubi were still alive, the expression on his face would be very exciting!"
The man in gray clothes originally bowed and was described as wretched, but now that he heard these words, he straightened up and his original aura changed drastically.
I saw that this man had a strange face. Although he was dressed in gray clothes, he could not conceal his aura of wealth and elegance.
Taking a step back, it¡¯s still the same timid servant as before.
Taking a step forward, his eyes were like morning stars, and he looked extraordinary.
This person is none other than Zheng Xuan, Li Rubi¡¯s teacher and an outer disciple of Baiyun Temple. Now he acts as the contact person between Baiyunguan and Song Yu.
Zheng Xuan's face remained unchanged and he said: "I took Rubi as my disciple, and it was just to follow the order of my master. This boy is quick-thinking, and he is also a good scholar. It's a pity that he can't compete with the destiny.""This is also his fate"
He bowed his hand again and said, "The general is responsible for the destiny of heaven and carries the fate of all people. How can we not come to help and bring peace to the troubled times?"
"This is a great righteousness. I can only throw away the previous section!"
Song Yu nodded, "Most of your words come from the sincerity. It is extraordinary for a scholar to understand his own mind clearly."
This Zheng Xuan has a very high reputation in the Wuzhou literary world. If he is properly used, he can withstand an army of ten thousand.
What he did before was also commissioned by Baiyunguan. Since Song Yu could even take Baiyunguan under his command, he had no prejudice against Zheng Xuan.
But, I still have some disdain for this character.
Thinking about it in his heart, he refused to say anything and asked instead: "When can the Linjiang Family be launched?"
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Tomorrow is the opportunity to break the city. The general can make preparations early and go to the east gate"
Back to business, Zheng Xuan also returned to his previous state, meticulous.
After both parties had discussed the details and agreed on a code, Zheng Xuan bowed and left.
"Commander! Is this Zheng Xuan okay?"
Ye Hongyan stepped forward and asked. He comes from a gangster background and has always been disgusted with scholars.
Especially, this Zheng Xuan, who was Li Rubi's teacher, still betrayed the Li family and groveled, which made him even more disdainful.
I couldn¡¯t help but feel a little worried, so I stepped forward to remind him. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
