(PS: The previous chapter extra, uploaded to the group last night.)

A line of autumn geese fly south, and the sky is clear and lofty.

If someone looks down from the perspective of a geese, he can see people fighting each other on the land of Hedong.

In the first half month after Zhang Zhengyuan entered Hedong, he caught the Mongols and the Jiang family off guard and recovered many cities and fortresses.

But when they recovered, the war gradually became stalemate, and every hill, bridge, and fortification were repeatedly fought over by both sides.

The Mongols won the war experience, brave individual soldiers, and skilled archery and horse skills; Zhang Zhengyuan's imperial guards won the warriors' good equipment, sufficient supplies, and the soldiers' lives.

The Khaxiongling, located east of Taiyuan, took the Khaxiongling, and the east of Taiyuan City was not at risk to defend. Zhang Zhengyuan gathered 70,000 people to defend the enemy here. The commander of the Mongolian Eastern Route Army, An Bahai, personally led the Mongolian and Chiang Kai-shek coalition forces to attack and kill Xiongling.

This pass must be taken down, otherwise, if you bypass the Khaxiong Ridge and attack Taiyuan, you will definitely be attacked from both sides and back.

In the hall of Zhang Zhengyuan's camp, all the generals surrounded a sand table and were pointing with sticks to discuss the war.

The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and a personal guard hurried in, clasped his fists and said, "General, Taiyuan Liu Magistrate and Commander Wang Taiwei came to ask for a meeting."

"The commander is called the Grand Marshal..." Yue Peng snorted coldly.

Zhang Zhengyuan waved his hand and smiled, "Taiyuan is a big city, and Wang Zhi is a powerful general who is a descendant of a famous family. It is understandable to call Taiwei a great general."

"We fought here for four days and four nights, but we didn't see a reinforcement or a feather arrow or a thief's bird, and we didn't see it!"

Zhang Zhengyuan looked at his subordinates who hated the enemy and shook his head and said, "It's a big deal. I won't come to the door. It's okay to see what's going on. Let them come in!"

Yue Peng snorted coldly and turned his head. If it weren't for the fact that he could not cause more trouble now and was afraid of forcing them to the side of the Mongols, the generals in the tent would have been dissatisfied with the walls of Taiyuan City.

Most of the people in Taiyuan City were Hedong officials who abandoned the city and fled in other prefectures. They had no strength to separatist government, but they had a dream of separatist government. If Li Xin had not cheated the court and left Taiyuan, they would have been punished.

The two officials in Taiyuan City entered the festival one after another. Although they were nominally the highest-level officials of Taiyuan City, they were actually just agents. In Taiyuan City, they are now tyrants who have been removed from various places, and they actually control Taiyuan.

These people once wanted to join Li Xin, but Li Xin was too rigid and was determined to serve the Great Qi court in name only. After thinking about it, they still chose to wait and see, choose the leader and join.

The atmosphere in the hall was very tense, and many people looked at them with their arms and cold eyes. The two of them were a little confident and not very nervous.

"You two are here, I wonder what you are doing?" Zhang Zhengyuan asked.

Liu Gongfu bowed and said with a smile: "We have been trapped in Taiyuan for several months. There have been a lot of refugees in the city. In addition, in the autumn harvest season, large areas of crops are abandoned and the grain storage has been exhausted. I heard that the grain transport vehicles of your army are constantly traveling, and the wealthy land in the capital, and the supply of the local area for a hundred decades, there must be some surplus grain. Now we are here, and we borrow some food for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City."

The casual smile he smiled, the military generals present wanted to kill him. Forget these birds sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, they dared to come and ask for food from the frontline soldiers.

In the past, when wars were fought, the army was not the army collecting grain on the spot and showing off the tasks to the people of the prefectures near the battlefield. Now they are loyal and brave Hou Renyi, who supplies food and grass from the capital. The people in Taiyuan are still embarrassed to reach out, which is simply a big deal.

Zhang Zhengyuan's face was as deep as water, only his eyebrows were raised slightly, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "My 100,000 men traveled thousands of miles to survive the upside down of Hedong. Instead, he would take out military rations to support you?"

Wang Zhi was different from Liu Magistrate. His expression was always very smelly. Before Zhang Zhengyuan finished speaking, he snorted: "There are more than 100,000 troops withdrawn from various places in Taiyuan City. If there is no food or grass, it will inevitably be mutiny. You are also leading troops. Don't you understand this? Chen Shou really doesn't know what it means. He sent a baby to lead the army, and even called it supporting me. I'm not going to give food today. If you don't give it, just take your troops out of Hedong."

"What did you say!"

"I have a way to say it again!"

"Kill him!"

......

The generals in the tent were angry, but the two people in Taiyuan were not afraid at all.

The Taiyuan City where they are located is located behind the Shaxiong Ridge. If Taiyuan sends troops to attack Shaxiong Ridge and attacks on both sides, the more than 100,000 people in the Killing Xiong Ridge will be in a turtle in the jar.

"What if I don't give it to you and don't leave?" Zhang Zhengyuan's qi cultivation skills were good. By this time, there was no sign of getting angry.

"Then I am not capable of restraining my 100,000 hungry soldiers. They were anxious to do something they shouldn't do. At that time, as long as you don't regret it."

As soon as these words were said, Zhang Zhengyuan was already interested in killing. If the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City really attacked from behind, they could not only attack on both sides, leaving themselves in an isolated and helpless situation, but they could even easily cut off their food channels.

He coughed lightly and said, "If you can't restrain your subordinates, do you think I can restrain my subordinates? If they do anything to you, I will be helpless."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few generals behind him had already looked bad and drew their swords in their hands.

"You dare!" Wang Zhi shouted angrily, and before he finished speaking, a steel knife slashed down on his head.

He was also from a military general family, so he quickly turned over and avoided it, but was slashed on his shoulder with a knife.

The blade entered the bone and made a creepy sound, which made him howl desperately.

Yue Peng stepped on his belly and pulled the knife from his shoulder, another general had already cut off his neck.

The smile-faced tiger seemed to be Liu's prefect. He was so scared that he was out of control and had incontinence by this sudden change.

His eyes were wide open, his voice was like a chicken strangled by his neck. He made a few strange sounds, and he was stabbed from behind and his heart was chilled.

A mouthful of blood was spurted out from his mouth, his eyes turned to his back, and he died.

Zhang Zhengyuan looked at all this coldly, and after the death of others, he said in a deep voice: "Deduct the people they brought, leave 20,000 people to guard the pass, and the others followed me to raid Taiyuan."

"Is Taiyuan so easy to fight? It's better to withdraw back to the capital and wait for the Zhongyong Hou to give his orders!"

"These two people were crazy. The city must have thought we didn't dare to take action, so they pretended to open the city gate in the name of sending food. In Taiyuan, there were mixed fish and dragons, and no one was in command of each other. How could they defeat me? Take all the food in the camp and hold hundreds of hidden soldiers at the city gate, and Taiyuan can get it."
