Qin Lifeng, a great hero in Yanzhou, the Vietnamese army retreated, and the Mongolian people attacked. This person gathered the defeated soldiers and village soldiers in Yanzhou, and formed a village to defend themselves. When the Mongolian army passed by, they tried to attack Qin Lifeng, who was in Pinghu, but they returned in disgrace. At that time, the Mongolian army was eager to gather in Cangjiang, so they temporarily let Qin Lifeng go to Pinghu. They originally planned to destroy the Vietnamese army and then turn back to clean up Qin Lifeng. Unexpectedly, this trip was on the road of no return. When they escaped, they no longer had the energy to clean up Qin Lifeng.

By chance, Qin Lifeng's reputation in Yanzhou was fulfilled. The former Dayue officials of Yanzhou fled in panic with the retreat of Congliang Su Can, leaving behind the people of Yanzhou. However, Qin Lifeng stepped forward and protected the safety of many people. This made Qin Lifeng's reputation in Yanzhou for a while. The Mongol Yuan suffered a crushing defeat and could no longer have the ability to effectively rule Yanzhou. He could only concentrate his troops to defend Yanzhou City and surrounding important roads.

Qin Lifeng himself knew his weight. The Mongolian army gathered about 20,000 cavalry in Yanzhou. Although he had a lot of troops, no less than 20,000 in total, he could not help him. As for the people of Yanzhou who were counting on him to recover the lost territory, he could not help him.

As the situation of the Mongolian army gradually improved, Qin Lifeng's life began to be sad. The Mongolian army did not want to fight with this person at this time, but only asked him to provide 100,000 kilograms of grain and grass every month so that they could be safe. For the Qin family in Pinghu, Qin Lifeng agreed without hesitation. In the area under his control, it was not difficult to provide 100,000 kilograms of grain and grass every month.

But now, the Northern Army is here! Looking at Li Fugui's greetings from the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, Qin Lifeng frowned.

See or not?

If the Mongolian army was a tiger, then the Northern Army was also a cheetah. And now he can only be regarded as a wild wolf at best.

No matter how strong the wild wolf is, it will not be a rival to tigers and cheetahs, but the problem is that he is now sandwiched between tigers and cheetahs.

"Father. This Li Fugui brought a few people to us to Pinghu to show off his power. He really doesn't know how to live or die. We have given him great face if we ignore him." Qin Zuojin said angrily.

Qin Lifeng glanced at his eldest son, "Li Fugui only has a thousand men, but behind him is the entire Northern Expedition Army. Even his Fifth Battalion of the Northern Expedition Army is not something we can afford."

"Father, Li Fugui's Fifth Battalion has more than 20,000 troops and horses, distributed throughout Yanzhou. He also has to deal with the 20,000 Mengqi in Yanzhou City. He has no spare energy to deal with us, so he is here to ask us. Since we have asked for us, why should we be polite to him? Moreover, in this situation, we don't have to be polite to him!"

"Oh. It seems that you have a lot of insights. Come on, let me listen." Qin Lifeng smiled and put Li Fugui's bowing stickers on the table and looked at Qin Zuojin.

"Father. Now the main force of Dayue is withdrawing, and on this northern land, it has become a battle between the Northern Expedition Army and the Mongolian Army. Although the Mongolian Army was defeated in Cangjiang, it is the power of a country after all. Although it has suffered heavy losses, it is far from being hurt. Yun Zhao may not have the upper hand in this confrontation with the power of the Northern Expedition Army. Therefore, we have become the targets they want to win over. Father, if we choose the side station, it would be bad if we choose the wrong one!" Qin Zuojin said.

"What do you mean is that Yun Zhao's Northern Expedition Army cannot defeat the Mongolian army?" Qin Lifeng thought about something.

"At least in Yanzhou, the Mongolian army has the upper hand. Meng Zai gathered 20,000 cavalry in Yanzhou City. Now that Li Fugui's troops are dispersed, it is easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy. If the news of our interactions with them is obtained by the Mongolian army, it will inevitably offend the Mongolian people. At that time, our Qin family will be in trouble!"

"According to what you said, we will choose the team of Mengren!"

"Father, we don't stand there! In Yanzhou, both families have to beg us. How can the battle between the Mongolians and the Northern Army be decided in three or two years? The longer the time, the stronger our Qin family will be. So let the two families fight!"

Qin Lifeng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why do we offend the Northern Army? Li Fugui is coming to worship the mountain, which gives me enough face!"

Qin Zuojin picked up the bowing post and said angrily: "Father, is he here to worship the mountain? He is simply here to recruit surrender!"

"After Jin, our Qin family is also a great tyrant in Yanzhou, but in the eyes of officials, it is also a piece of fat. We are deeply suffering from the scorching of officials. This time, my life-threatening bet finally gave the Qin family a chance to turn things around. In times of troubled times, we will rise quickly and lose quickly. If we are not careful, we will never be able to recover. Whether in the eyes of the Meng army or the Zhengbei army, we are still just a small piece of miscellaneous. Don't think too high. Li Fugui is so arrogant, but he is proud.

You have to be confident. He has a background and a backer. What do we have? All we have is this small chip in our hands. Some of you are right, that is, we must bet the chips against the winners. At present, whether it is the Mongol Yuan or the Northern Army, we still can't see who wins or loses for a while. We naturally have to put away the chips and see the right time, but there is no need to offend people. I must meet Li Fugui, and I don't look at the monks and the Buddha's face! Yun Zhao still has to give his face."

"Where is the Mengren? Li Fugui came over with such a big fanfare, but Mengren wouldn't know."

"So what if I know? If they are capable of destroying Li Fugui, I will naturally send them food as usual. If they dare not send troops, I will save even 100,000 kilograms of food and grass. I will give these food and grass to the Northern Army! I think Li Fugui is here, that's what it means!"

"Why do the Mongols want to cause trouble for us?"

"Daughty! The army of the Northern Expedition is here, will the Mongolians still focus on us? They should think about how to deal with the army of the Northern Expedition is now. We are too late to win over! Will they care about these 100,000 kilograms of grain and grass? They must be our attitude!" Qin Lifeng shouted. "Open the middle door and welcome Li Fugui."

Li Fugui was wearing casual clothes, not even wearing a knife, but only brought two guards. He stood outside Qinjiazhuang with swagger. Looking at the majestic Qinjiazhuang, Li Fugui shook his head repeatedly, "Is this a village there? It's just a castle. I think even Pinghu County is not as solid as him. Tsk, there are also sub-forts and guards. I guess there should be secret passages below to connect to the main fort. No wonder when the Mongolian army passed by, it was not easy to take it down. This Qin Lifeng is not simple. This city cannot be built in just a few days!" Li Fugui looked back at the guards behind him and praised.

"No matter whether he is strong or not, if he is not convinced by our Northern Expedition Army, the general will come and destroy him in a few seconds!" A guard said disdainfully: "The Northern Expedition Army is invincible. Can this small village still be defeated? General, the people here are not good things to transport food and grass to the Mongolian army. Why are you so polite to him?"

Li Fugui shook his head and said, "You can't say that. When the Mongolian army was approaching, Qin Lifeng was still in a strong position to gather troops to fight against his opponents without surrendering. At least he was much better than those fleeing officials. As for now, well, it can't be generalized. He can't beat the Mongolian army, and he can't blame him for his grievances, right? As long as he is still concerned about Dayue, we have to give people a way out!"

"The general is wise. The villain does not understand these principles. The villain knows that whoever is the enemy is the bad guy, and the bad guy will be chopped down!" said the guard.

Li Fugui laughed, pointed at him, and then clicked himself, "So, I have become a general, you are just a guard!" He glanced away from Qinjiazhuang and said to himself: "It looks similar to Anqing's stone fortress. If you really fight, it's not easy to deal with!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the gate of Qinjiazhuang rumbled open, and two rows of soldiers ran out in a row, and the guards behind Li Fugui were startled and touched the hilt of the knife with their hands.

Li Fugui narrowed his eyes and stared at the open village gate. After the soldiers, an old man with long robe smiled and led a large group of people out of the village. Before he could walk out of the village gate, he had already clasped his fists and bowed repeatedly, "General Li arrived and failed to greet him. It was really Qin's crime. Li led the Pinghu family and gentry to apologize to General Li!"

Li Fugui laughed and greeted him. "Old Master Qin gave him face, Li was flattered, disturbed, disturbed!"

Yizhou, Qin Yiliang Pu four prefectures established the envoy's office, Yao Changkun welcomed Yun Zhao who returned from Boyang, Luzhou to inspect.

"I've seen the Grand Governor!" After not seeing each other for several months, Yao Changkun lost a lot of weight.

He reached out and helped Yao Changkun up and down. Yun Zhao looked up and down for a while and said, "Thank you for your hard work, this messy stall is really going to make you exhausted!"

"The governor trusts, Changkun dares not do his best? Governor, please, there is nothing here, please forgive me!" Yao Changkun welcomed Yun Zhao into the hall. However, there was a banquet in the hall, without any delicacies. There was nothing except a few big bowls containing some pork and vegetables.

Yun Zhao sat down with a smile, "That's great. I remember when I was in Yunjiazhuang, this braised pork could only be eaten during festivals!

The two sat opposite each other, and after a few cups of Rinlie's burning knife, the fatigue of running around for days disappeared under the burning of the strong wine, "You still have wine here, it's good!"

"Governor, this was stolen from the doctor!" Yao Changkun laughed and said, "There is a huge shortage of food in the four states. I have already ordered a ban on making wine. These things were brought from Jingzhou. Cheng Qun imposed a material embargo on us, especially grain. Under the supervision of the Jingzhou Navy, he actually thought that these wines were smuggled, and it was only enough for us to disinfect the wounded. The distribution in the army would be insufficient. If the Governor had not come, I would not have been willing to take it out and drink it!"

"Is it so difficult to be so embarrassed?" Yun Zhao pondered for a moment, "What is Cheng Qun trying to do?"

"Governor, Changkun has understood the matter until today. Cheng Qun doesn't want us to win! He is buying time for himself!"

Yun Zhao's eyes flashed, "You mean, Cheng Qun is not willing to be convinced?"

"It's true, otherwise it would be hard for me to imagine why he sent Baotaowei to Xiangzhou at this moment!" Yao Changkun nodded and said, "His goal is the central and western regions!"
