"Who are you!" Nan Jiyun raised his bow and arrow and pointed it at Zhang Wu.
With Nan Jiyun's archery skills of being able to pierce a Yang with a hundred steps, Zhang Wu would be dead if he shot an arrow from such a distance.
However, Zhang Wu said without fear: "I am an unknown person under the command of King Jianning!"
"King Jianning?"
Nan Jiyun had a puzzled look on his face.
Before he followed Zhang Xun, he was just a low-ranking general, but after following Zhang Xun, he went on expeditions east and west, never feeling stable for a moment.
Suiyang was besieged for eight months. Food in the city was cut off, and contact with the outside world was cut off.
Who is King Jianning?
He Lanjing stepped forward and said: "General Nan, King Jianning is your Majesty's biological son, and he has been granted the title of Longyou."
Nan Jiyun looked at Zhang Wu with confusion.
King Jianning was granted the title of Longyou, could he still interfere in Suiyang's affairs?
And where did the army that Wu Sui brought in this chapter come from?
However, after hearing that they were not rebels, Nan Jiyun's complexion improved a little.
Zhang Wu's next words surprised Nan Jiyun again.
Zhang Wu said: "The soldiers of Bianzhou admire the general's courage and hate the traitors of the puppet Yan. Now they have followed me and raised troops to save Suiyang!"
Nan Jiyun was shocked, this army is the Bianzhou Army?
Nan Jiyun was still worried about Zhang Wu, and he asked again: "Since General Zhang said he wanted to save Suiyang, why did he come to Huai?"
The bow and arrow in Nan Jiyun's hand were still aimed at Zhang Wu, but Zhang Wu said with a smile:
"The Bianzhou army only has tens of thousands of people, and the puppet Yan army is powerful. The Bianzhou army alone may not be able to save Suiyang."
Zhang Wu stared at Nan Jiyun and said, "I came to Huaihe to borrow troops from the Linhuai Jiedu Envoy."
"Borrowing troops?"
Nan Jiyun and He Lanjing were both stunned.
God's "borrowing" troops, is there such a thing as borrowing troops?
Zhang Wu continued: "General Nan, I will hand over the army to your command. Can you be sure of borrowing troops from Helan Jiedushi?"
Helan Jing's whole body was chilled, but Nan Jiyun put down his bow and arrow and said, "What's so difficult about this! Helan Jing entered the Ming Dynasty and was a villain who only wanted fame and reputation. What should he fear from the soldiers led by such treacherous and hypocritical people!"
Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Then I will hand over the army to the command of General Nan!"
Nan Jiyun said: "I don't need so many people. I only need five hundred elites to borrow soldiers from the old thief Helan!"
"Okay! Then I will lead the army to meet General Nan outside Linhuai City!"
Nan Jiyun selected 500 people from the Xianden camp, and Fan Wu was among them.
He didn't say much, he just led five hundred people to kill Linhuai City.
Fan San stood next to Zhang Wu and said: "Zhang Shuai, can General Nan really conquer Linhuai with 500 men?"
Zhang Wu said with a smile: "General Nan has courage that no man can match. Helan's advancement to the Ming Dynasty is not something that can be defeated with just a few clicks. Let's just wait for the good news here!"
After saying this, Zhang Wu actually sat down cross-legged and waited for Nan Jiyun's good news.
He Lanjing's position wavered. He did not follow Nan Jiyun to rebel against his uncle, but he was not prepared to help his uncle.
Zhang Wu asked He Lanjing: "Are you He Lan Jinming's nephew?"
Helan nodded.
Zhang Wu asked again: "Why do you want to follow General Nan to defend Suiyang?"
He Lanjing lowered his head and said: "I am not talented enough to be a Jinshi like my uncle. I have wasted my time and have not made any achievements."
"Now that the world is in turmoil, I don't want to waste time with my uncle."
"When the country is in trouble, we should be loyal to the country."
"My uncle also often says that I am stupid, but I have heard the words of sages since I was a child, and I really can't settle down in Linhuai!"
He Lanjing suddenly asked: "Am I not stupid?"
Zhang Wu said, "It's like your uncle, who reads the books of sages but forgets all the teachings of sages and only knows how to fight for power and gain."
Zhang Wu said calmly: "It is the nature of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans."
"But your uncle clearly has a large army, but he is jealous of talents and Zhang Xun's achievements. Zhang Xun wrote twelve consecutive relief letters in eight months, but your uncle ignored them. This is no longer an ant greedy for life, but a mistake for the country.
A traitor to the people!"
"The only bad thing in the world is that there are too many refined egoists like Helan Jinming, and there are too few people like you who are willing to contribute to the country."
He Lanjing lowered his head, of course he knew what Zhang Wu said was right.
Uncle refused to save Suiyang, not only because he was afraid that Xu Shuji would seize Linhuai, but also because he was afraid.
If the siege of Suiyang is solved, Zhang Xun will definitely be put into important use by the imperial court.
The uncle was jealous of Zhang Xun's ability and achievements and deliberately did not save Suiyang.
He Lanjing remained silent as he watched five hundred elites mount their horses and rush towards Linhuai City.
While the two were talking, Nan Jiyun rode a war horse and took the lead and rushed back to Linhuai City.
Nan Jiyun galloped directly into the city gate, raised his hand and shot two arrows at the mechanism that closed the city gate.
Before the soldiers guarding the city could react, Nan Jiyun had already rushed into the city gate with 500 people.
Over at Helan Jinming's house, the Jiedushi Master was still listening to elegant music while eating a sumptuous meal.
Nan Jiyun is a guy who doesn't know how to appreciate others. If he wants to go back to Suiyang and die, then let him die.
He Lan was not afraid of the imperial court's blame when he entered the Ming Dynasty. His mission as Linhuai Jiedushi was to guard Linhuai.
As for Suiyang, that is beyond the scope of Helan Jinming.
As long as Linhuai is defended, Helan's advance to the Ming Dynasty will be a great contribution to the court.
Only the living can receive the credit.
Just when Helan Jinming cursed Nan Jiyun to die in the battle with Suiyang City, the housekeeper suddenly rushed in in panic.
Seeing that the housekeeper ruined his mood, Helan Jinming said angrily:
"When you were so flustered, did you forget your family rules?"
The butler knelt on the ground, performed a full salute, and then said: "Jie Shuai! That Nan Jiyun is back again!"
"Hey, has he figured it out and wants to join the commander-in-chief?"
But the housekeeper quickly said: "Nan Jiyun led hundreds of soldiers and entered Linhuai City!"
What!
Helan Jinming no longer cared about his demeanor, he stood up directly and asked:
"Then Nan Jiyun only brought thirty cavalry to break out and ask for help? Where did these hundreds of elites come from?"
"Ignore this, please put on my armor quickly!"
But before the housekeeper could get the armor, the school captain guarding the mansion rushed in in a panic and said:
"Jie Du Envoy's Mansion! Nan Jiyun led troops to attack Jiedu Envoy's Mansion! The Jiedushi Envoy's Mansion has been surrounded!"
Helan Jinming completely lost his grace. He smashed the wine glass and said to the captain: "Aren't there two hundred guards in the mansion? As long as we wait for the soldiers in the camp to come over, Nan Jiyun will not be a problem with the thieves!"
Helan Jinming was still conscious. He said to the captain guarding the mansion: "Keep it, you must keep it!"
He then said to the steward: "Go, open the treasury in the mansion, and give all to the soldiers guarding the Jiedu Envoy's mansion!"
Helan Jinming's performance was excellent, but he met Nan Jiyun.
The one who was able to break through Yin Ziqi's hundreds of thousands of troops, and only two of his thirty men were injured, shows Zhang Xun's combat effectiveness.
Although the Jiedushi Mansion was built according to the specifications of a fortress, Nan Jiyun was a top military commander who had experienced many battlefields. He did not attack the manor directly, but led his elite men to climb over the wall from the side courtyard.
There was no suspense about the ensuing battle. Nan Jiyun chopped down the soldiers guarding the gate, and the Bianzhou soldiers rushed into the Linhuai Jiedushi Mansion.
Fan Wu followed Nan Jiyun all the way through the government office, and finally caught Helan Jinming in the backyard, who had changed into servant clothes.
Looking at Nan Jiyun whose helmet was covered in blood, Helan Jinming almost fainted.
Nan Jiyun said: "After a short separation, why is Helan Jiedushi's demeanor not as good as before?"
At this time, Helan Jinming was wearing the clothes of a servant, and most of his long-maintained beard had been cut off. He was completely different from the Jiedushi who had just talked and refuted Nan Jiyun at the banquet.
At this moment, Helan Jinming did not have the demeanor of a celebrity before. He just begged: "General Nan! I will send troops to rescue Suiyang immediately!"
Nan Jiyun shook his head and said:
"The war in Suiyang has reached this point because you and other national traitors are too selfish."
"The only bad thing about this world is that there are too many smart people."
After Nan Jiyun said this, he stepped forward and stabbed Helan Jinming in the chest.
Helan Jinming never thought until his death that Nan Jiyun would dare to kill the Jiedu envoy conferred by the imperial court!
He was the imperial censor of the current dynasty, the envoy of Linhuai who was given a Jingjie by the imperial court!
Nan Jiyun, a martial artist, actually killed someone on the spot!
Nan Jiyun looked at Helan Jinming's eyes that were gradually losing focus and said:
"If a 'smart person' like you is left here, he will definitely interfere with the rescue of Suiyang."
"If I don't kill you, how can I stabilize the morale of the Linhuai army?"
"When Suiyang is rescued, Nan is willing to plead guilty to the court!"
"Please ask Helan Jiedushi to take the first step!"
After saying this, Helan Jinming finally breathed his last.
Fan Wu, who was following Nan Jiyun, said: "The general killed well!"
Nan Jiyun sighed and said: "When you report back to General Zhang, just tell him that Helan Jinming has been killed by me and ask him to take care of it."
Next, Zhang Wu led the Bianzhou army into the city and took control of the Linhuai military camp.
Zhang Wu sent an order to the Linhuai army, and Yin Ziqi, the puppet Yan general, sent an assassin to assassinate Linhuai Jiedu envoy Helan Jinming in an attempt to seize Linhuai city.
The fake Yan's craftsmanship was discovered by Nan Jiyun, the Suiyang guard general who came to ask for help. General Nan killed the fake Yan's assassin.
It's just a pity that Helan Jiedushi has been killed by the pseudo-Yan assassins.
Zhang Wu marched to Suiyang under the banner of Helan's advancement to the Ming Dynasty!
Zhang Wu also supported Helan Jinming's nephew He Lanjing as the envoy of Linhuai Festival and stayed in charge of the Linhuai military festival.
Immediately afterwards, He Lanjing swore a blood oath on the high platform and merged the Bianzhou army into one.
The two armies elected Xu Shuji as the marshal of Henan Province. Xu Shuji also said that he was old and ill and entrusted all the affairs to Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu organized three thousand knights from the two armies together, appointed Nan Jiyun as the attack envoy, and gave all the cavalry to his command.
Zhang Wu also mobilized all the water transport ships parked in Linhuai City and recruited civilians to accompany the army to supply supplies.
The two armies have a full strength of 20,000 people, plus 20,000 civilians recruited from Pengcheng and Linhuai. It is announced that an 80,000-strong army will march towards Suiyang along the Bian River!
