At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Xia Yun, you are despicable!"

After realizing that this was Xia Yun's trap, Pei Xingyuan let out a roar mixed with extreme unwillingness.

And at this moment, he had to admit in his heart that he had lost.

Faced with Xia Yun's cunning military and political tactics, he had no ability to fight back at all.

without any exaggeration.

Even though he had served as the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu for many years, in front of Xia Yun, he was as immature as a child!

"Come here, quickly take all the rebels in the hall away, break their legs, and send them to the capital in prison tomorrow morning!"

After getting the confession from the disgusting Xu Miao, Xia Yun was too lazy to waste any more time talking to Pei Xingyuan and the others.

And to be on the safe side, in case these people had other ideas on the way to the capital, Xia Yun simply ordered their legs to be broken.

"Grand Marshal, we know we are wrong! We believe that the Grand Marshal will show mercy!"

"I am willing to hand over all my property, please show some mercy, Marshal!"

"Xia Yun, even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"

"..."

When a group of personal soldiers entered the hall and almost dragged Pei Xingyuan and others out of the hall, various shouts came from Pei Xingyuan and others' mouths one after another.

In response, Xia Yun just shook his head and then completely ignored the matter.

"Pass on my order. From today on, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces are under martial law. Without my order, no one, including scholars, farmers, merchants, businessmen, or peddlers, may enter or leave the two provinces at will!"

While the army was enjoying the celebration banquet, there was no sign of relaxation on Xia Yun's face.

The battle in the Hexi Corridor is not over yet.

Now they have merely suppressed Pei Xingyuan's rebellion.

To be more precise, this battle with the barbarian troops was the real prelude to the climax!

"All civil and military officials in the province must be aware that this war with the barbarian army concerns the country and society of our Liang Dynasty, and the life and death of thousands of people in the Dawn!"

"If anyone colludes with the barbarians or communicates with foreign countries during the war, they will be killed on the spot!"

Then Xia Yun's gaze swept across the civil and military officials in the hall.

At present, almost two-thirds of the civil and military officials in Gansu Province are here.

"Don't worry, Marshal! I and others will fight to the death!"

Qin Tianye was the first to stand up, clasped his hands together, and responded with great respect.

At this time, the rest of the people saw this and walked out from both sides of the hall. They bowed their hands and clasped their fists, and a burst of uniform voices came out of their mouths.

"Don't worry, Marshal! I and others will fight to the death!"

……

Half a day passed in a flash.

When it was evening and the moon was about to cover the earth, Xia Yun appeared on the city wall of Shuodong City.

In the past few hours, hundreds of thousands of troops had a delicious meal at the celebration banquet.

At the same time, Xia Yun also lifted the prohibition on alcohol.

Looking at the thick dark clouds gathering in the sky, Xia Yun had a premonition that in the days to come, the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command would hardly have the peace and tranquility they had today.

As the saying goes, a storm is about to come.

What Xia Yun was worried about at the moment was Chen Jingzhong's army that had been besieged in Shuoxi City for many days, and the 100,000 cavalry commanded by Chong Heihu and Zhao Xinlei far away in Mobei Mountain.

According to his plan.

After the army's final rest night in Shuodong City today, he will lead all the troops to the front line of Shuoxi City early tomorrow morning.

Once the army arrives at Shuoxi City, it means that the war has reached its final climax.

"Sir, I have received a letter from General Xiang Wentian."

Just as Xia Yun was on the city wall, thinking about the final battle, Qin Tianye suddenly came behind him and brought the latest news.

"read."

Xia Yun did not turn around, but only uttered a few words faintly.

"General Xiang Wentian has sent a letter saying that he has led a modern mechanized force to the Mobei Mountains and is expected to rescue all 100,000 cavalrymen within two days."

"Also, ask General Wentian for permission. After rescuing the 100,000 cavalrymen, I hope the Marshal will allow him to lead all the soldiers in Mobei Mountain and rush directly to Shuoxi City."

Qin Tianye spoke one after another and told the contents of Xiang Wentian's letter.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yun responded without thinking.

"Immediately send someone to inform Xiang Wentian that I agree with his battle plan. After rescuing the 100,000 cavalry, immediately lead all the troops to reinforce Shuoxi City!"

There was a hint of satisfaction in Xia Yun's eyes. In the past few months, Xiang Wentian had been staying in Dai County.

However, even so, Xiang Wentian did not abandon his skills in marching and fighting.

Only a day or two had passed, and Xiang Wentian had already led his troops into the Mobei Mountain area.

You know, although the means of transportation used by the 30,000 troops under Xiang Wentian are new tanks.

But if Xiang Wentian were replaced by other generals, they might not be able to have the same strong military qualities and execution capabilities as Xiang Wentian!

"Okay, Marshal."

Qin Tianye nodded, and then took out a letter from his arms.

"General, the battle report from Shuoxi City was sent back at noon today. Currently, the number of defenders in Shuoxi City is less than 60,000. In the next few days, the enemy is expected to launch a new round of fierce attacks on Shuoxi City."

Qin Tianye directly stated the contents of the letter.

So far, the defenders led by Chen Jingzhong have been holding out in Shuoxi City for as long as a month!

But this is Chen Jingzhong's limit.

Once the casualties of the troops further increase, it will inevitably cause the morale of the troops in Shuoxi City to collapse!

Once the morale of the army collapses, a crushing defeat will follow.

"Pass the order down. Tomorrow morning, all the troops in Shuodong City will move to Shuoxi City."

In response to the emergency news from Shuoxi City, Xia Yun only gave one response.

But it was this response that made Qin Tianye suddenly excited.

"Yes, handsome!"

Qin Tianye responded and accepted the order. Just from this order, he knew that the final battle in the Hexi Corridor was about to begin!

……

The next morning.

The order for the entire army to march out had already been issued in advance.

Therefore, as soon as the sun rose, nearly 300,000 troops in Shuodong City were fully equipped.

Including more than 20,000 troops under Pei Xingyuan who were previously captured by Zhao Wuji.

Under Xia Yun's order, these 20,000-plus captured troops were granted amnesty and placed under the command of Zhou Sheng.

When the sun rose completely from the east, the army set out in a mighty manner.

In addition to nearly 300,000 troops, almost all civil and military officials in Gansu also accompanied him.

Since they were more familiar with Gansu, Xia Yun also ordered them to be taken along on the march.

Zhao Wuji, the county magistrate of Shuodong City, continued to stay in Shuodong City.

However, Xia Yun did not leave him idle, but appointed Zhao Wuji as the chief clerk of food and fodder for the Western Expedition.

Responsible for the central dispatch in Shuodong City, receiving the food and fodder shipped from the capital, and at the same time transporting the food and fodder to the front line of the army.
