Chapter 428 Prestige

Ming Di flew up, and many soldiers subconsciously looked up.

Yin Chang also looked up.

In these two days, he made the most critical choice in his life, from being Li Quan's ally to Ding Haijun's subordinate.

He is convinced that this choice must be right, but the specifics will depend on the development of the Ming Dy after it takes off.

The worry hidden on his face was seen by Zhang Rong standing beside him.

Yin Chang was born in a big man who produced smuggled salt, while Zhang Rong was the leader of smuggled salt. The friendship between the two has lasted for more than ten years.

Zhang Rong laughed and said, "Relax! Just let you see the majesty of our Ding Navy with your own eyes!"

Previously, the Ding Navy defeated the Mongolian army in Shandong and Liaodong. Although the momentum was terrifying, it was the Mongolian army who suffered the knife after all.For the surrounding forces in the three states of Denglei, this kind of record is surprising, but not intimidating.Those who can gather strength in this world, who doesn't have a bit of guts, who doesn't have a bit of unruly temper?

Outstanding heroes such as Li Quan were aroused by the prestige of Dinghai to fight, and then decided to cooperate with Hebei Jinjun to counter Dinghai's expansion momentum.

However, with the development of this battle, Dinghailing's south division swept Mizhou and Juzhou, and now it has penetrated into Yizhou, and it seems that it is about to hit Haizhou and hit the Song people in the Southern Dynasty.And its main force on the West Road is even more terrifying, and it's okay to win many cities and military states.Yidu Mansion, which has long been the resident of the Shandong Commanding Army Division, is such a strong city, equipped with thousands of elite soldiers, and it only lasted for one day!
All Li Quan was terrified by this.

How can it be?How did the Navy do it?
Liu Qingfu is a veteran general that everyone is familiar with. He is by no means incompetent, and his subordinates are by no means weak soldiers.Not to mention, there are soldiers sent by servant San Anzhen to help.

They just lost so simply that they couldn't explain it at all!
Previously, Li Quan gave up Weizhou and Zizhou one after another. What he said to his subordinates was to lure the main force of the Ding Navy to go forward. To recover the lost ground, I will take everyone to the three states of Denglai to eat and drink spicy food.

However, Yidu City was lost in one day, and Ding Haijun continued to advance, directly blocking the Beiqing River.So, what is the significance of Li Quan's previous statement?Isn't that a joke?Who do you want to deceive?

Li Quan's army is composed of many township leaders who have their own strength.The hometowns of these township tyrants changed hands, and the fighting spirit of the subordinates was unshakable.

Later, there was new news... Pu San Anzhen is going to negotiate with Guo Ning?

It is impossible to get back what is exported on the battlefield by lip service. The warriors know this truth best.

However, the Hebei people are foreigners anyway, they can only gain a little bit more benefits, or get a little bit less benefits, and there will be no loss no matter what.

Who will be the loser? Do you even need to ask?

Such a situation is a terrible blow to Li Quan's prestige.

Li Quan is a very smart person. He knows that this situation must not continue. Only a victory that turns things around can save the situation. There is no other way out.That's why he made the bold decision to lead his troops to raid the negotiation site between Guo Ning and servant San Anzhen while his family's prestige was still there.

Of course, this blatantly risky operation itself will raise new doubts.

Li Quan couldn't care less.He chooses to act as soon as possible, winning or losing depends on an instant.In this case, even if the subordinates have doubts, it is too late to transform into actual actions.And after this raid has achieved results, their own prestige will inevitably skyrocket, and the loyalty of their subordinates will be unshakable.

His judgment was not wrong at all, and his decision was worthy of his status as a hero.

When his prestige is still there, his subordinates really can only cooperate with the risky fight.

But Yin Chang has other options.

Strictly speaking, Yin Chang is not even Li Quan's ally, but Yang An'er's partner of the Red Coat Army.He cooperated with Li Quan to raise troops last year, also because of Yang An'er's call.

Later, Li Quan himself occupied the military prefectures in the north of Shandong, just like a semi-independent branch of the Red Coat Army, while Yin Chang was Li Quan's subordinate in name, but in fact, it was Yang An'er who used it to check and balance Li Quan. a pawn.

No matter what Yang An'er said, he was also the leader of the anti-thieves with power and influence all over Shandong. This kind of political means was definitely not lacking.

But since Yang An'er died, the regime of the Red Coat Army fell apart.Why did Yin Chang follow Li Quan all the way to Hei?

The Red Coat Army and the Jurchens have been hostile for so many years, and when Yin Chang was under the jurisdiction of the Binzhou Army, he only made false claims with the Jurchens.But when Li Quan saw that the situation was not right, he directly took refuge in the Hebei Xuanfu envoy of the Jurchen, and even brought tens of thousands of horses to fight side by side with him... How can this be called Yin Chang?
He really can't accept it!

Even if he had to rely on a powerful family, could he only choose to be servant Anzhen?Under the command of Dinghai Jiedushi Guo Ning, isn't Geng Ge, Shi Poli and others living a good life?
These two people are both former members of Yang An'er and occupy high positions in the Ding Navy.In the past year, Yin Chang often exchanged letters with them in secret, listening to them talk about the various developments in the three states of Denglai.

Since the beginning of this year, he has also met several times with Zhang Rong, Guo Ning's capable subordinate.Zhang Rong didn't try to win them over. The topics discussed by the two sides had never been related to military affairs. They just used Dinghai's maritime business routes to secretly reach some cooperation in the salt industry.

All these contacts have accumulated over time, but the steelyard in Yin Chang's heart is constantly shaken.

When the situation continued to deteriorate, Li Quan was always ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to Guo Ning, so his ideas became more and more beautiful, and his planned strategies became more and more dangerous.

Yin Chang saw all this in his eyes.

At the same time, Zhang Rong was sent to Binzhou by Ding Naval Records Department, and visited again to ask for an interview, prompting Yin Chang to make a decision that was completely different from Li Quannan.

Compared with Li Quan, who started in Yidu and Weizhou, Yin Changcai is a local ghost near Binzhou. Once he makes up his mind, there are too many things he can do.

When Li Quan led his troops across the Beiqing River and sneaked hard in the complex terrain, he had already lost the qualification to be regarded as an opponent by Guo Ning.

Pu San Anzhen turned her head and looked around.

To his surprise, Mingdi flew up and down again, but there was no special change around Tieling Terrace.And thousands of elites under Li Quan's command trudged through the muddy water, shouting like a tide.The long knives each of them held aloft reflected the sun like white spray rising from the top of a wave.

They were getting closer and closer, and some of the soldiers who rushed to the front had already stepped on the solid ground, and their speed suddenly accelerated.

Pu San Anzhen saw Li Quan's figure, and seemed to be able to feel Li Quan's stubborn and fierce eyes from a distance.He saw inside the enemy army, someone was running while preparing to draw a bow and set an arrow.

There was still two miles between the two sides, and the arrows couldn't be shot temporarily, but it didn't hurt to make preparations early.So the soldiers guarding around the platform took their shields one after another and lined up side by side.

"Ahem..." Pu San Anzhen felt that his throat was a little dry, and he asked Guo Ning: "Where is the prestige? Where is the prestige?"

"There." Guo Ning pointed.

The direction indicated by Guo Ning was on the other side of the Beiqing River, and the direction of Anding Town where Li Quan's troops set up camp.In addition to the elite of the headquarters who followed Li Quan, there were tens of thousands of his subordinates, as well as the old small battalion where the family members of the army were housed, all of them were there.

Li Quan's troops marched in the reed marshes yesterday, trekking [-] to [-] li hard.But that was to avoid the eyes and ears of Pu San Anzhen's sentry cavalry, so he made a deliberate detour.The straight-line distance between the camp and Tieling Terrace is actually about five or six miles, not very far.

But it's not close, even if Pu San Anzhen tried his best to look around, he could only see the continuous gray fortress, like a silhouette.

At this time, behind the continuous silhouette, there was a sudden wave of ups and downs.

The scale of this wave is more than ten times larger than what Li Quan has in front of him!More than ten times more violent!
In an instant, the tide poured into the silhouette, reverberating wantonly.The entire camp where Li Quan belonged was stirred up into flames and chaos.
