After several contacts, the Wei envoy and Tan Lun discussed plans to deal with the Qin army's rebellion.

Tan Lun also took the opportunity to put forward his own request, that is, after this severe damage to Qin's rebellion, the Wei State must take out 100,000 stones of grain and grass and 100,000 taels of silver as the food and grass and military pay for the "Zhao Army".

Simply put, it is the "Zhao Army" who contributed their efforts, and the Wei State paid and grain.

Although the Wei envoy did not agree at once, he said he wanted to report it to wait for approval from the peak.

But Tan Lun knew that the people of Wei would agree. Their plan has now reached this point. So much money and food have been spent. Spending a little more is nothing to the Wei State, which has a rich family.

After the two sides signed a simple memorandum, Tan Lun began to dispatch troops and arrange arrangements. With the cooperation of the Wei special envoy, he set up his pockets, waiting for Lin Yi to come with his men.

After Lin Yi took the camp from Sanshui County, he led 30,000 troops and rushed north to Yan'an Prefecture.

This time he still appointed Lin Feng as the forward general. Lin Feng was so grateful that he knelt down and said that if he failed again this time, he would come to see him without Lin Yi's military law.

Lin Feng learned from his mistakes and did not dare to advance lightly this time, but instead marched very cautiously. Scouts and horses sent out one after another to keep a detailed search within five miles of the road ahead.

Especially the mountains and forests on both sides of the road are the key search targets.

However, in this way, the army's speed of marching will inevitably be much slower, and it can travel up to more than thirty miles a day.

Although Lin Yi was anxious, he knew that he had been moving slowly with such a big fanfare, the bandit army must have received the news long ago and had been prepared for defense. It was impossible to have a sudden attack from a soldier.

But he also knew that he would rather be slower and more steady than fail.

Otherwise, the morale of this pieced together army would really collapse.

The 30,000 troops under his command are composed of three parts: 10,000 Yulin Left Guards, who are the direct descendants; 10,000 local government soldiers; and 10,000 village heroes who were temporarily pieced together in various counties in North Guanzhong.

The left guard of Yulin is undoubtedly the core, and the local government soldiers are still useless.

As for the ten thousand village heroes, they were simply used as coolies and cannon fodder, and Lin Yi never expected them.

If you experience another failure, the ten thousand townsmen and the ten thousand palace soldiers will definitely collapse first, and the morale of his ten thousand direct imperial guards may plummet.

The first failure brought by Lin Feng and the confrontation with Li Xu's village camp have seriously affected the morale of these originally proud and reserved Royal Guard soldiers.

Especially the fact that Lin Yi was unable to do anything to Li Xu, who was following the crime, has shaken the prestige he had established in the army for many years, and the eyes of many soldiers and generals quietly changed when they looked at him.

These can naturally be felt by the sensitive and proud Lin Yi.

However, these soldiers were still respectful and did not have any rudeness to him, and he was not easy to get angry.

But the consequences of this matter have begun to gradually show.

Along the way, there have been even a phenomenon of wandering to become a deserter.

Although the number of people was not large and was quickly dealt with by military law, this was a very bad sign.

This shows that the soldiers he brought out have begun to distrust this war and his commander.

The morale of the army in the age of cold weapons was largely maintained by the Lord's future. Once the soldiers began to feel distrustful of the Lord's general, it would have extremely bad consequences.

Although most soldiers still look very stable, this is enough to make Lin Yi alert.

Therefore, he can only focus on stability and take every step forward. As long as there is no accident on the road, he will be confident that he can quickly break through the defense of the bandit army and recover the Yan'an city.

At that time, the previous failures can be counterproductive, and the morale of a plummeting decline can also rise quickly.

Then he took advantage of the great victory of regaining Yan'an Prefecture City and took the opportunity to regain other county towns, pushing them all the way, and the success of the quelling of the rebellion is just around the corner.

However, there were no ambushing along the way. Although some people were watching from the side during the march, they were all spies from the surrounding robbers and bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings, for fear that this imperial army would kill them by the way.

Lin Yi had no intention of dealing with these little fish, but just ordered the army to continue to advance northward.

Seven days later, the army entered the Longdong area, recaptured the two cities of Ning County and Zhengning, and then went east to the boundary of Yan'an Prefecture, and headed straight to Yijun County.

It is said to be regaining, but in fact, Ning County and Zhengning County have basically become two empty cities after being harmed by the thief army.

After Zhengning took a break, Lin Yi ordered the army to march towards Yijun County.

The 30,000 army headed north in a mighty way, and Gao Huzi had already received the news.

Gao Huzi naturally would not disperse his limited personnel in these county towns to fight Lin Yi to the death, so as soon as the army arrived at the city, the gate of Yijun County was opened.

Dozens of county soldiers who were originally wearing tattered Qin army robes opened the door and surrendered directly.

These people surrendered to the bandits when the bandits captured the county town. Now that the bandits have left, they have turned back to the Qin army and have taken the initiative to open the door to surrender anyway.

Although Lin Yi disliked these people's integrity, he knew that he could not kill them. Otherwise, if the news spread, the county towns in the future would not surrender easily.

Although it is very simple to beat, there is no need at all.

After resting for a day in Yijun County, hundreds of villages were left to guard the guards, and the army continued to advance northward.

Within just ten days, Huangling, Luochuan, Fuxian and Ganquan were all recovered, and the process went smoothly and was unremarkable.

All the vanguards of the army appeared under the city and the gate opened.

If Yan'an Prefecture had not been dominated by mountains and the roads were rugged and difficult to travel, the time would have been shortened by half.

Seeing the Qin army flags being planted again, the morale of the soldiers also rose a lot.

Under the influence of generals at all levels, the bandit army saw that the imperial army was powerful and knew that it was not an opponent, so they all fled after hearing the news.

The soldiers were all very happy. They didn’t have to fight, just follow the marches, and they could still remember their military merits in the future. This is a good thing.

The soldiers were very happy and the generals were relieved, but Lin Yi's brows became tighter and tighter.

Although we also saw some sporadic thieves along the way, we did not see any trace of the elite Wei army that Lin Feng mentioned.

The invisible enemy is the most terrifying thing. The Wei army must be hiding somewhere, waiting for it to reveal its flaws and then suddenly launch a fatal blow to itself.

Lin Yi was very sure that if this army really existed, he would definitely do this.

So he had been waiting for the emergence of this elite Wei army along the way, but for more than half a month of continuous marching, there was no sign of that army at all.

This cast a heavy shadow in Lin Yi's heart.

Where did they go?
