Thief Emperor

Chapter 174: Breaking through in an instant! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Li Yun has been stationed in Qiantang for several months. During these months, the injuries of his soldiers have been healed, and those who could not be healed have been given a sum of money to allow them to return home.

Moreover, with Pei Zhuang training these hundreds of people, although Li Yun has lost nearly three hundred soldiers now, the combat effectiveness of the remaining six or seven hundred people is even higher than before.

After all, Pei Zhuang is one of the great masters in the capital. Compared with a talented person like Li Yun, Pei Zhuang's teaching is much more meaningful.

After all, his strength can be copied, but Li Yun's strength is difficult to copy.

Now, since Su Sheng had informed Li Yun that he was going to Yuezhou, Li Yun would naturally not fail to give face to the Major General. The next day, their six or seven hundred people had almost packed up, and Li Yun went to the county governor's office to bid farewell to Master Pei Huang.

Although he disapproved of Pei Huang in his heart, he had a good relationship with Pei Zhuang, and Qiantang was very close to Yuezhou, and they might become neighbors in the future, so he still had to give him basic respect.

If there is any falling out, it will be in the future.

After meeting Pei Huang, Master Pei was very polite. He bowed to Li Yun in return and said with a smile, "Captain Li, are you leaving so soon?"

"The general has summoned me, so I have to go."

Li Yun exchanged a few polite words with him. When he was about to say goodbye, Li Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Earlier in the Yuezhou camp, Master Pei mentioned that when Mr. Gu Wenchuan came to Xuanzhou, it was me who led the way for him and took him to Shidai."

"It's in the past."

Pei Huang waved his hand and said, "That rigid old man is so annoying. Let's not mention him."

County Magistrate Pei smiled and said, "If Captain Li hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it."

The two of them laughed and let the matter go.

But it’s hard to say what they are thinking in each other’s hearts.

After a few more polite words, Li Yun said goodbye and left. Pei Huang was very considerate and sent him all the way to the gate of the government office. Then he bowed to Li Yun and said goodbye: "I look forward to the success of Yuezhou. Pei will hold a banquet in Qiantang to entertain the three armies."

Li Yun clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank Master Pei on behalf of the general."

After saying this, the two separated at the gate of the yamen.

Pei Huang put his hands behind his back and watched Li Yun go away without moving for a long time.

After a long while, he returned to the yamen with his hands behind his back.

"I made a mistake last time."

…………

The next day, Li Yun and his party set out to leave Qiantang City. After walking out of the city gate, Li Zheng couldn't help but look back at the big city and sighed: "What a great city! It's much bigger than Qingyang and Xuanzhou."

Li Yun smiled dumbly, patted his shoulder, and said, "No matter how big the city is, it has nothing to do with us now, don't think about it."

He looked towards Yuezhou and said slowly: "In the future, everything will be there."

After that, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Keep going!"

Hundreds of people marched along the official road towards Yuezhou.

Because they were not in a hurry, they walked thirty miles a day and then rested. On the fourth day, they arrived at the Yuezhou camp. After entering the camp, Su Sheng personally greeted them and arranged a place for them to camp.

While the subordinates were setting up camp, Li Yun looked at Su Sheng and said with a smile, "Just now, as we were walking along, I saw some soldiers looking at us with a strange look in their eyes. I guess they were all feeling uncomfortable."

"Why do you care about them?"

Su Sheng said carelessly: "In this battle of Yuezhou, who among those people has made more contributions than you, brother Li? You blocked Zhao Cheng in Qiantang, causing the main force of Zhao Cheng's army to be crippled. This is a great contribution."

"Now that you have returned to the Yuezhou camp, no one has the right to make irresponsible remarks."

Su Sheng patted his chest and said, "If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will tear his mouth apart!"

Li Yun smiled silently.

What Su Sheng said was still too exaggerated.

Although the people under his command had made great contributions, General Su had already reported them for their previous contributions, so that account could be considered settled.

Now, here in the Yuezhou camp, the siege of Yuezhou City has lasted for several months, and the siege has never stopped. People are dying every day. They have paid a huge price, but have not seen any results yet.

At this time, Li Yun and others came over, which was somewhat suspected of picking fruits.

This is not something that Su Sheng can resolve with just a few words. Li Yun will also feel uncomfortable as they are in a different place.

However, Li Yun did not intend to fight for the credit. He came here just to join in the fun.

After all, Qiantang is not a place to stay for a long time, and Yuezhou...

If he could be appointed as the Sima of Yuezhou.

Thinking of this, Li Yun looked at Yuezhou City which was vaguely visible not far away.

If he could be appointed as the Sima of Yuezhou, Yuezhou would become his territory.

While thinking about these miscellaneous things, the central army tent was already in sight. Su Sheng did not go in, but smiled and said, "My father has been in a bad mood these days. He scolds me every time he sees me. I will not go in. You go in by yourself."

"Come find me when it gets dark, I'll buy you a drink!"

Li Yun blinked and said with a smile: "Major General, is drinking allowed in the army?"

"No."

Su Sheng laughed: "Let's drink secretly." Li Yun shook his head slightly and turned to enter the big tent. In the big tent, General Su was looking at a map. Li Yun took a quick glance.

It seems... this is no longer a map of Gangnam Road.

"Your subordinate Li Zhao pays homage to the general."

Su Jing then put down the map in his hand, looked up at Li Yun, then his eyes fell on the map again, and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

Li Yun thanked him and found a place to sit down. He took another look at Su Jing's desk and confirmed that the map was not the map of Jiangnan Road. He smiled and said, "It seems that the general has a plan for the Yuezhou Rebellion."

"It will take only ten days to break the city."

Su Jing looked calm and said, "If we had attacked by force, we could have taken the city last month, but I didn't want to hurt too many people."

As he spoke, he looked at the map again and continued, "The chaos in the Central Plains has spread from Puzhou to several neighboring states, and it seems to be getting worse. I don't have time to stay in Jiangnan Road for long. After we break through Yuezhou City, I will clean up the scattered rebels..."

As he spoke, he looked up at Li Yun and said, "It will probably fall on your head."

Li Yun was ecstatic in his heart, but his face showed no expression. He just lowered his head slightly and said, "I am from Jiangnan West Road. It is my duty to clean up the remnants of the rebels in my hometown."

Su Jing thought for a moment and continued, "The imperial court's documents have not come down yet. I cannot guarantee whether this will be successful or not."

"If it doesn't work, I will take you to the Central Plains."

Li Yun smiled and said, "The general has made outstanding contributions. Is it necessary for the court to offend the general by recommending a provincial governor?"

Su Jing snorted and didn't respond.

After a while, he looked at Li Yun and changed the subject, asking, "During your time in Qiantang, what do you think of Pei Huang?"

"I haven't had much contact with him."

Li Yun thought for a moment and said, "But..."

He looked at Su Jing and said slowly: "This Mr. Pei seems to have had a lot of contact with the local nobles in Qiantang during this period."

Hearing this, Su Jing looked up at Li Yun, then lowered his brows again.

He did not care much about the affairs of the Qiantang nobles. It was just a few tens of thousands of strings of money and some livestock, and they were all used in the army. At this moment, no one in the court could say anything to him.

General Su thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't he try to win you over?"

Li Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "How can a nobleman from a thousand-year-old family take a small figure like me seriously?"

Su Jing snorted again after hearing this, and then stopped asking about this topic. He said, "The general attack on Yuezhou will be launched in the next few days. You can take your subordinates to rest for two days. After a few days, you will also participate in the general attack."

Li Yun thought for a moment and said, "General, our battalion should support the main force of the battalion."

Su Jing looked at Li Yun with some surprise, then nodded and spoke.

"No need. You will just follow me and serve as my temporary guard."

Li Yun nodded quickly.

"Yes."

…………

Five days later, the weather was clear.

General Su stood in front of Yuezhou City, looking at the somewhat dilapidated Yuezhou City in front of him, with an expressionless face, and waved his hand.

"Siege!"

At this moment, all of Su Jing's forces were concentrated in Yuezhou, totaling more than 20,000 people.

However, with so many people, they naturally attacked the city in batches, and most of them were not on the front line. They were deployed by Su Jing around Yuezhou to prevent the rebels from breaking out of the city and escaping the encirclement.

There were only two or three thousand people in the first wave.

But even so, the scene can be described as spectacular.

Li Yun was less than a hundred feet away from Su Jing. He was with Li Zheng and Zhou Liang, staring at Yuezhou intently.

Captain Li turned around and looked at Li Zheng and the others, and said with a serious face: "Watch carefully, it's rare to see a siege scene. See how General Su arranges the manpower and the siege rounds."

"Second...Second brother..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Zheng.

Li Zheng pointed in the direction of Yuezhou City and murmured, "The city has been broken..."

Li Yun looked back in confusion, only to see that not far away, the army had launched a general attack for only an incense stick of time, and the gate of Yuezhou City had been broken.

Li Yun was stunned and couldn't help but look in the direction of General Su.

This old man...

How long did you leave the water on?
