Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Yuanhui led four thousand cavalry back to the edge of Taizhou City.

Yue Fei shot a loud arrow into the sky. After hearing this, the soldiers at the top of the city stood up and looked outside the city.

Liu Yuanhui took the bag containing Deng Yuanjue's head from Xing Ai, dismounted and walked towards the edge of the city.

After walking a dozen steps, he stopped and raised the bag in his hand.

The soldiers at the top of the city didn't know what he wanted, so they all bent their bows and aimed arrows at Liu Yuanhui.

Then Liu Yuanhui shouted: "Your coach Deng Yuanjue is dead! You must surrender as soon as possible! Those who surrender can do it individually, and each of them will be given fifty taels of silver. If you continue to resist, there is only one way to die! Go on!"

After Liu Yuanhui said this, he kicked Deng Yuanjue's head onto the city wall.

After a while, the soldiers at the top of the city were heard shouting loudly: "Monk Deng is dead! Monk Deng is dead..." There was joy in his tone.

A few minutes later, the Taizhou city gate slowly opened, and the soldiers in the city walked out of the city gate and surrendered.

Liu Yuanhui smiled slightly and turned back to the formation.

"Zhao Youliang obeys the order!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Tomorrow, give 500,000 taels of silver brought from Yuezhou City to these surrendered troops!"

"As ordered!"

"Be angry and obey orders!"

"My subordinates are here, go immediately to purchase military rations for the army! Each person is allocated an average of three days of dry rations to bring with him!"

"As ordered!"

"Yue Feilinchong obeys the order!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Bring the army into the city immediately! Have a good meal and rest! The army will set off tomorrow morning! Anyone who makes trouble or bullies the civilians will be killed!"

"As ordered!"

Liu Yuanhui's handling of the aftermath of Taizhou City can be described as thunderous.

The West Route Army on the other side obviously did not go so smoothly.

The West Route Army, which had just captured Yuhang City, was supposed to rest and recuperate after capturing Wuzhen two days ago, but Gao Qiu urged them in every possible way. The army did not stop at all, and then rushed to Yuhang City in the east overnight.

The terrain in Yuhang is complex and the march is difficult. The Yuhang defenders, who had obtained Gao Qiu's intelligence, had already placed traps on the march route of the West Route Army - iron caltrops, animal traps...

The Liangshan army moved slowly, and finally reached the gates of Yuhang City, but the baggage and food in the rear were attacked again.

In the helpless predicament of a shortage of food and grass, Song Jiang could only order an attack on Yuhang City.

Yuhang City, built with a mountain on its back, repelled Liangshan's seven or eight attacks with only 6,000 defenders.

Song Jiang had no choice but to send his brothers Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, who were good at climbing cliffs, to climb up Yuhang City from the rear cliff at midnight to launch a surprise attack.

It's a pity that Gao Qiu informed General Yuhang of this military situation early.

The brothers Xie Zhen and Jie Bao were ambushed during a sneak attack. In the end, they were both hit by rolling stones thrown by Fang La's defenders and fell off the cliff.

In a rage, Song Jiang once again ordered the entire army to attack the dangerous Yuhang City.

In the end, it was Hua Rong who shot Yuhang City guard Li Tianrun after firing three hundred steps.

In Yuhang alone, Liangshan killed more than 8,000 people and injured countless others.

The leaders Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Zhang Qing and Lei Heng also died under the city wall.

Although everyone in Liangshan suffered heavy casualties and won all the way, their morale was low and they slowly moved towards the next destination-Shezhou.

News of Liangshan's heavy casualties continued to reach Fang La's ears.

He walked to the map and felt more relaxed the more he looked at it.

The imperial court now spends most of its troops on the defense of the Yanyun area. There are no more troops available. The Liangshan army is getting smaller and smaller. Victory is just a matter of time.

As for those cities, hey, give it to them if you want it!

As long as Liangshan is defeated, he can conquer the south of the Yangtze River.

After keeping a low profile for another two to three years, he will be able to invade Bianliang and ascend to the throne. Who cares about those broken cities!

After reading the map, the proud Fang La immediately came to Linglunxuan to talk to Li Xiaoxiao.

"The slave family sees that Shenggong is full of joy. Has anything good happened recently?"

"Hahaha, the little girl really has a pair of discerning eyes! There have been many good news ahead recently! How can I be dissatisfied?"

"The Holy Duke is referring to the war against the imperial army?"

"Yes."

"I wonder where the officers and soldiers are now?"

"We should have arrived at Shezhou City by now!"

"Oh, I just ask that the trouble doesn't come to Hangzhou!"

"Little girl, don't worry! Now the army has lost countless soldiers and is at the end of its war effort! Shezhou City will be their burial place! Hahahaha!"

"A few days ago, the Holy Duke was looking sad, but now he is so happy! Xiaoxiao really feels sorry for the Holy Duke! But Xiaoxiao is puzzled as to why the situation of the battle suddenly changed. I wonder what clever trick the Holy Duke used?"

"The matter has come to this, I don't have to hide it anymore! Little girl, Liu Yuanhui has his plan, and I also have my ladder!"

"how do I say this?"

"Liu Yuanhui planted the spy Mo Xuan on my side, but little did he know that I have a more powerful spy on his side!"

"Oh? I have never heard of the Holy Duke mentioning this before! I wonder who this person is?"

"It's not that I don't trust the little girl, it's just that it's not convenient to reveal this person's name! Just know that he is a corrupt official. I give him silver every year, and he delivers military information to me. We each get what we need, and there is no other intersection! "

"Xiao Xiao is just curious. Shenggong can say whatever he wants, and it's reasonable not to say anything! Did you just say that he was a corrupt official? Could it be that he was a county magistrate?"

"Hahahaha! The little girl is a woman after all, and her vision is still a bit narrow. How can a county magistrate be worthy of communicating with me?"

"That's not a governor, is it?"

"It's smaller! It's smaller!"

"Could it be someone from the imperial court?"

"Well! This is a bit of a sideshow!"

"There must be all high-ranking officials in the imperial court! Xiaoxiao doesn't quite understand!"

"Hahahaha? In fact, he is..."

"Ok?"

"Hahaha! I won't tell you!"

"What a bad person the Holy Duke is! He actually made fun of the slave family!"

Fang La chatted and listened happily with Master Li.

After he left, Master Li immediately darkened his expression and gave Dabai a look.

Dabai nodded and released the parrot that delivered the message out of the window. The brief introduction in the letter was clear - "Shezhou is in urgent need, Fang La is working carefully: a high official of the imperial court."

The animals used by the Dark Moon Division to convey information are all raised by their respective members.

Dabai's parrot only needs to send a message to someone once, and it can always sense the person's location.

So no matter where Liu Yuanhui is, the parrot can find him accurately.

Liu Yuanhui set off from Taizhou with his cavalry at dawn and headed north.

Just after noon, the four thousand cavalry had already replaced a group of horses and marched for three hundred miles.

"Brothers, you have worked hard! But we can't stop now! I have received military reports that the West Route Army is currently suffering heavy casualties! If we had provided support earlier, the West Route Army would have lost fewer lives!" Liu Yuanhui said loudly to everyone.

"We are willing to listen to Marshal Liu's orders! We will not hesitate even if we die!" Everyone replied loudly.

At this time, Dabai's messenger parrot landed on Liu Yuanhui's shoulder.

Liu Yuanhui raised his hand to stop the army behind him.

"The entire army dismounts and rests for half an hour!"

After giving the order, he grabbed the parrot and sat alone under a tree.

Opening the letter, Liu Yuanhui frowned.

The military information in the letter is so brief, but the content is like thunder!
