"Xiangcheng?"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was startled, and then said happily: "Yang Wenyue, Governor Yang, came very quickly."

"Governor Yang?" Chen Yongfu was stunned for a moment, then realized it and said, "Superintendent, the Xiangcheng County garrison is not under Governor Yang."

Sun Chuanting's expression froze: "Isn't it Yang Wenyue?"

No wonder Sun Chuanting thought that the Xiangcheng garrison was Yang Wenyue's subordinate. Sun Chuanting had long known about Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu's 'death in battle', but he didn't know that there was a Ying Yi involved.

All I know is that after Ding Qirui died, Yang Wenyue was left in the south.

The information lag made Sun Chuanting unclear about the causes and processes of the Nanyang War. He only knew that the imperial army experienced a major defeat in Nanyang, and that was all.

When he heard Chen Yongfu talking about the garrison in Xiangcheng, he thought it was Yang Wenyue who sent troops after receiving his message.

Chen Yongfu said: "The supervisor must know about the defeat in Nanyang."

Sun Chuanting nodded: "I received news earlier that Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu were defeated and even themselves died. Your Majesty then became more and more urgent in urging, leaving me helpless."

Chen Yongfu did not dare to answer, and only said: "Due to military pay, Governor Ding and General Zuo led their troops to the south. In Nanyang, they fought against the bandits Hao Yaoqi, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and others. The Huguang soldiers were defeated. The two generals and Hu Dawei died. But what the governor didn't know was that after the Huguang soldiers were defeated, there were people who could turn the tide and defeat these arrogant bandits."

Speaking of this, Chen Yongfu could not help but speak in a sour tone: "That's Ying Yi. After King Zhou and Governor Gao found out about it, they promoted him to be the commander of the Nanyang Guard, and they don't know how your majesty will reward him..."

"Ying Yi?" Sun Chuanting's eyes flashed with wonder: "Where did this person come from? Is he so powerful?"

Chen Yongfu said: "But he is just a fool from Ye County. Zheng Yunzhi, the magistrate of Ye County, promoted this man to lead the army in times of crisis. This man was also brave and brave. He defeated tens of thousands of thieves with less, and defeated tens of thousands of thieves with five thousand young men. Even Liu Zongmin, Thieves like Hao Yaoqi were beheaded by him..."

Chen Yongfu is naturally envious. These thieves are all names on the sea arrest list. Killing one of them is a great achievement! If he, Chen Yongfu, could kill these few, he would be able to leap up into the blue clouds and fly straight up.

Although Chen Yongfu said it simply, Sun Chuanting could not conceal his surprise.

Sun Chuanting and Liu Tie are also old rivals, and they often fight against each other. The thieves in his hands basically did not benefit, but it was also because Sun Chuanting had the support of the court and regular troops at his disposal.

Now I suddenly heard that someone used five thousand young men to kill tens of thousands of refugees. It seemed that they were not followers of the refugees, otherwise Zuo Liangyu and Ding Qirui would not have died. This was already a feat—he thought he couldn't do it.

"If this is true, he is a strong general." Sun Chuanting beat his chest after being surprised and said in frustration: "If I knew that this person was stationed in Xiangcheng, I would have sent someone to contact him long ago!"

Then he quickly asked: "I wonder how many soldiers and horses there are in Xiangcheng now?"

Chen Yongfu said: "I'm not sure about the details, but it's around 10,000."

"Ten thousand..." Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and said decisively: "I will send someone to contact you immediately!"

Then he called the soldiers, gave some instructions, and ordered them to rush to Xiangcheng.

After that, Gao Jie said: "I don't think this person may have much ability. Supervisor, the Huguang soldiers fought against the thieves. Although they were defeated, they would definitely cause huge casualties to the thieves. I'm afraid this person can kill Hao Yaoqi and other thieves. I took advantage of Huguang Bing."

Gao Jie was born as a thief and was already unruly. Hearing Chen Yongfu talk about Ying Yi, he felt very uncomfortable. Maybe a little jealous. But what he said may not be unreasonable.

Sun Chuanting nodded slightly: "What you said is not bad. But now I am fighting alone. If I have Xiangcheng to support me, it will not be a disadvantage after all."

Just now Sun Chuanting sent someone to Xiangcheng, but Chen Yongfu didn't say anything. At this time, he said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

He said: "Supervisor, there is no doubt that Ying Yi will have strong soldiers and generals. At the end of the Nanyang War, the general also had some knowledge. It is said that at that time, several groups of bandits easily defeated Zuo Liangyu and then came to Yuzhou. Supervisor Ding fled out of the city. He was intercepted and killed by thieves outside the city. At that time, Ying Yi led his troops to attack and captured and killed all the thieves inside and outside Yuzhou. If there is still any doubt about the Nanyang war, then this person later went north to Xiangcheng and first They attacked Li Yan with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then Luo Rucai with 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. They were both victorious. They beheaded Li Yan and Luo Rucai and overthrew their troops. Li Chuang was so frightened that he cowered. There was no advantage to be gained at that time. "

"oh?"

Sun Chuanting was even more surprised: "According to what you said, this person is really amazing!"

Then he said: "Then why is it 'not easy'? With the support of this person, it will not be difficult to defeat Li Chuang."

Chen Yongfu sighed: "But there are thieves stationed in Yuzhou. Previously, the governor led troops to attack the thieves. Li Chuang divided his troops into two groups, one to attack the governor, and the other to garrison in Yuzhou. This road to Yuzhou was clearly In order to contain the garrison in Xiangcheng. These rogue thieves belong to the bandit general Yuan Zongdi, and there are always more than 100,000 of them. If the governor wants Xiangcheng to respond, Yuzhou will have to consider it."

Xiangcheng, Yuzhou, and Jiaxian are adjacent to each other in a roughly triangular shape. Xiangcheng is in the south, Yuzhou is in the north, and Jiaxian is in the west.

Jiaxian County is closer to Yuzhou and farther from Xiangcheng. If Xiangcheng wants to send troops to Jiaxian, Yuzhou will definitely take advantage of it.

After Sun Chuanting heard this, he suddenly had a clear idea in his mind.

He frowned and said, "It's really not easy."

He said: "Xiangcheng already has a small number of troops. If we all go out, we will open up the door to the south. If we divide our troops, we will be unable to catch them and be taken advantage of by rogue thieves."

Chen Yongfu said: "The supervisor is wise. It's not just that. Here, Nanyang turned the tide. Although Zheng Yunzhi was the first to do the battle, it was Ying Yi who actually fought. Before, he was just the official of Qianhu appointed by Zheng Yunzhi. Although later, King Zhou and Governor Gao gave him a guard commander, but if he doesn't get a royal decree to clear his name, I'm afraid he will have doubts in his heart and won't do his best."

When Sun Chuanting heard this, his dark and thin face suddenly showed a stern expression: "Since he is a subject of the imperial court, how dare he not do his best?"

But then his voice changed: "But Mr. Chen's words are not bad. Only when the name is correct can the words be correct. If the name cannot be corrected by the court, there will indeed be doubts in the heart. In this way, I will write a letter and ask someone to send it over, so that I can move it. If love is understood with reason, he will definitely put the justice of the world first."

Although Sun Chuanting was outspoken, he was not without brains.

Especially at this critical juncture, if Xiangcheng's soldiers and horses are available to support them, they will be more certain of defeating the intruders. This is not the time to act impulsively. To deal with such a strong player, the main thing should be to win over him. If you put on official airs and only use moral principles to suppress it, it will definitely have the opposite effect.

Therefore, as a colleague, as if reminiscing about old times, he spoke softly and moved him emotionally, wrote a letter, summoned soldiers, and sent the second wave to Xiangcheng.
