    "What father-in-law, what father-in-law!"

    He Fengsheng almost stumbled into the camp of the supervisor He Luyao and his father-in-law. As soon as he entered, he loudly said: "Something big has happened, something big has happened."

    He Luyao, who had just recovered from his illness and was still weak, was a little surprised. He had never seen He Fengshenghui so panicked: "What happened? Did the rebels come in?"

    "The rebels didn't break in, but they were about to break it."

    He Fengsheng's words caused He Luyao's expression to change suddenly.

    He had been ill for a long time, and he did not have the energy to ask about what happened on the battlefield. When He Fengsheng said this, he suddenly became anxious: "What happened?"

    "The seventy-two battalions of the Thirteen Families of the Rebels met in Xingyang and jointly promoted Ni Yingxiang as the leader of the rebels. They then divided their forces into four groups, with the main force taking Huoqiu and Yingzhou and heading straight for Fengyang!" He Fengsheng told what happened.  Read it again.

    "That's fine!" He Luyao's voice was so anxious that he raised his voice: "Fengyang is the central capital, and the important place where the imperial mausoleum is located. Once it falls into the hands of rogue bandits, the consequences will be disastrous. Where is Commander Hong? Are we just going to let it go?"

    He Fengsheng said: "Commander Hong has ordered the Five Tigers guerrilla general Ding Yunyi from Taiwan to lead eight hundred elite cavalry to Yingzhou to intercept the rogue bandits. He has also ordered the deputy commander-in-chief He Renlong and Ai Wannian to lead the main force.  Rescue Fengyang.¡±

    "That's good." He Luyao breathed out: "I know Ding Yunyi. He saved Eunuch Wang Chengen and won the trust of today. Has he arrived in the Central Plains?" At this point, he suddenly felt a little strange.  : "Since Commander Hong has rescued him, why is Mr. He still so panicked?"

    He Fengsheng hurriedly said: "Ding Yunyi has been setting off with eight hundred elite cavalry for a long time. I am afraid that he has already fought a bloody battle with the rebels in Yingzhou. But I just got the news that the main force led by He Renlong and Ai Wannian was blocked by the rebels.  After arriving at Huo Qiu, he has been reluctant to attack for seven days. Counting the time, Ding Yunyi has been in Yingzhou for seven days. Counting the Yingzhou garrison, there will never be more than 5,000 men.  But there are tens of thousands of rebels. If we don¡¯t send troops, it will be too late!¡±

    "Seven days?" He Luyao stood up with an "ooh": "That's unreasonable, Feng Yang is missing. Neither you nor I can escape the relationship. They have been lingering in Huoqiu for seven days, what do they want to do? Do they want to wait for Feng Yang?  The sun is broken, are you all being taken to the execution ground? Come on, let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll go find Hong Chengchou myself!¡±

    With that said, he walked straight out of the tent. He Fengsheng followed him and hurried out.

    The soldiers outside Hong Chengchou's camp saw He Luyao and Supervisory Army coming. They were about to step forward to say hello, but He Luyao had already cursed: "Get out!"

    Rushed into Hong Chengchou's camp.  Seeing that the commander-in-chief was discussing the military situation with his subordinates, He Luyao opened his mouth and said: "Commander Hong, my neck has been washed, and I am waiting for the emperor to cut it. Have you washed your neck?"

    As soon as I saw Eunuch He coming, who had just recovered from a serious illness.  Hong Chengchou was extremely surprised when he opened his mouth and said something like this: "Eunuch He, what are you talking about? I wonder what Hong has committed?"

    He Luyao sneered: "The bandits are about to enter Fengyang. How long are your two deputy generals planning to stay in Huoqiu? Did they all fall to thieves while waiting?"

    Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou felt relieved: "Originally, I wanted to inform the supervisor, but the supervisor recovered from a serious illness. Hong did not dare to disturb him. Since the supervisor was here, Hong informed them one by one.  The rebels defeated Huoqiu and Shouzhou. I ordered Ding Yunyi to rescue Yingzhou, and ordered He Renlong and Ai Wannian to reinforce later. However, the main reinforcements were blocked by the thieves in Huoqiu.  We can¡¯t win. Look, this is the battle report from the two deputy commanders.¡±

    He Luyuan didn't even look at it, but after hearing Hong Chengchou's explanation, her anger subsided: "Commander Hong, I want you to retreat temporarily. I have something to say."

    Hong Chengchou hurriedly asked his men to go out. When only the two of them were left in the camp, He Luyao said: "Director Hong, I don't know what you are thinking, but one thing is that if Fengyang is broken, everyone will  Fengyang has become a governor, and the heads of officials, big and small, can't be saved. You have a lot of troops and shoulder the heavy responsibility of suppressing thieves. In addition, Anhui has nothing to do with you, so it's hard for the emperor to punish you, but you want to  "Have you ever been delayed for such a long time in Huoqiu and missed the opportunity to rescue Yingzhou? Even if the Holy Master doesn't say it, how will he feel about you in his heart?"

    Hong Chengchou knitted his brows together, and He Luyao continued: "I'm afraid that He Renlong and Ai Wannian have the same mentality. You are responsible for wiping out the Central Plains bandits. Anhui has nothing to do with you. Everyone sweeps the door.  Snow, don't worry about the hundreds of thousands of rogue bandits. If the attack becomes fierce and they turn around and fight you, their own strength will be greatly damaged. With this kind of thinking, dragging them along.  It¡¯s not surprising that we don¡¯t want to move forward.¡±

    Every word He Luyao said was on point, and so did Hong Chengchou.?Distinguishing, listening to He Luyao continue: "Sooner or later the bandits will be wiped out. Now that the Holy One wants to use you, there is naturally nothing you can do about it, but what happens after the bandits are destroyed? If Fengyang is destroyed, if the imperial mausoleum is destroyed  Damn it, do you think your Majesty will let you go as soon as he thinks of this matter? Yuan Chonghuan was so powerful back then, and he was regarded as a pillar of the imperial court. But the Majesty wanted to kill him, but he just wanted to kill Commander Hong. Is this an exception?  You may end up worse than Yuan Chonghuan. You have to know that the bandit escaped from your side after all!"

    Hong Chengchou took a breath of air.  He Luyao sighed and said: "You don't know Ding Yunyi, I know. He saved the life of Wang Chengen. Once he has a problem, will the prince let you go? It's you, Commander Hong, who can see him every day."  Your Majesty, is it more effective for you to speak in front of your Majesty, or is it more effective for your Majesty to speak in front of your Majesty? Sir, please think about it carefully!"

    "Thank you for the reminder, supervisor. Without supervision, Hong almost missed important events." Hong Chengchou is a smart man.  Although it had been confirmed that the rogue bandits were moving eastward, Hong Chengchou did not take it seriously.

    Indeed, if Fengyang is destroyed, it will be a catastrophe, but if the court wants to settle accounts, it will only be blamed on Anhui officials and has nothing to do with their Central Plains army.  As long as he was responsible for killing all the rogue bandits in the Central Plains and restoring Henan, Shaanxi and other places, even if he was accused of letting the enemy advance eastward, the court would not embarrass him too much, and in turn gave him greater rights to continue to hunt down the rogue bandits.

    Therefore, his focus is to block Sichuan and prevent rogue bandits from entering Sichuan.  To the east, they chased the rogue bandits, cut off the communication between the rogue bandits and the battlefield in the Central Plains, and then used troops one by one to put down the rogue bandits.  As long as the Central Plains can be stabilized, the bandits entering Anhui will not be a concern.

    Furthermore, he has dispatched 800 elite cavalry commanded by Ding Yunyi, and two deputy commanders, He Renlong and Ai Wannian, to lead the pursuit, so the court can also communicate.  As for whether Fengyang can hold on, that is Fengyang's business.

    Because of this, when he heard that there were heavy rebel troops stationed in Huoqiu, he did not rush He and Ai to march quickly. He only asked them to monitor the rebel army and prevent them from returning to Henan.

    As for Ding Yunyi¡¯s life and death?  Hong Chengchou didn't take it to heart at all.

    Now that He Luyao told the stakes, Hong Chengchou broke out in a cold sweat: "Come here! Send me an order to congratulate Renlong and Ai Wannian on dispatching troops quickly. Within three days, no, within two days, we must defeat the rebels and march into Yingzhou.  There must be no mistake! If we can¡¯t take Yingzhou within two days, don¡¯t blame me, Hong Chengchou, for falling out!¡±

    "Commander Commander, I'm worried that He Renlong and Ai Wannian won't risk their lives so easily!" He Luyao said worriedly.

    Hong Chengchou nodded: "Yes, He Renlong's life was saved by Ding Yunyi that day. He has always regarded himself as the most powerful general in the imperial court. He almost died that time, which he brought as a shame. Forget it, the supervisor will stay here and I will take care of him personally."  The soldiers went to Huoqiu to supervise the two battles. "

    "Thank you for your hard work, Commander-in-Chief." He Luyao breathed out heavily.

    Hong Chengchou knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to neglect at all. At that time, he ordered his cavalry and rushed to Huoqiu at night.

    After receiving the news that Hong Chengchou was personally supervising the battle, He Fengsheng was not at all relaxed.  It has been seven days. Ding Yunyi has resisted the rebel army in Yingzhou for seven days.  Is Yingzhou still in the hands of the imperial court?  Is Ding Yunyi still alive?

    There is no news coming from the front.

    Although he thinks Ding Yunyi is murderous, the court currently lacks such generals. If he has any shortcomings, his relatives will be hurt and his enemies will be happy.

    "Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing his thoughts, He Luyao comforted: "Hong Chengchou personally led the troops to supervise the battle. I hope Huo Qiu Danxi can return to the court. I just hope they can get to Yingzhou in time."

    "I hope so, I hope so." He Fengsheng couldn't feel relaxed at all: "Father, it's been seven days. Eight hundred cavalry have resisted tens of thousands of troops. How can we resist?"

    He Luyao sighed: "Yingzhou still has thousands of defenders, so you won't lose Yingzhou to the bandits so easily, right?"

    He Fengsheng smiled bitterly, He Luyao was just comforting herself.  Although He Fengsheng was a civil servant, he also knew that trying to resist the massive rogue bandits with Yingzhou's military strength and weapons was simply a dream.

    "Ding Yunyi cannot die." He Fengsheng murmured: "If he dies like this, who will be willing to work for the court in the future? He defeated Zhang Xianzhong with 300 cavalry, which was a rare victory for the court in recent years. The morale of the army was greatly boosted.  If he dies because he cannot get reinforcements to rescue Yingzhou, father-in-law, this will chill the hearts of all the soldiers."

    He Luyao's eyes were also full of worries: "Why did the Holy One transfer Ding Yunyi to the Central Plains? Various forces here are intertwined and are trying to attack each other. Otherwise, the bandits would have been determined long ago, and he was not here"Well, this is not the time.  I think Wang Gongzheng is trying every means to persuade the Holy One. I just hope that Ding Yunyi can go back as soon as possible before it's too late.  "

    Ding Yunyi came to the wrong place and at the wrong time, but he came anyway.

    " Moreover, at this time, Ding Yunyi and his brothers have fallen into a desperate situation!  !  ~!
