Chapter 78

Youdao is the elder brother like his father. Although Yin Yue is at home, he is not the elder brother, but his elder brother is not here. Even if he is here, he is not as the general of the regiment training general. So when he said such words, his younger brother didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his face and quickly apologized to his second brother.

It seemed to be to prove that what Yin Yue said was not false. The Tibby Right Camp and the Tibby Central Camp launched two large-scale attacks, all of which returned in vain, and even the killing was extremely limited. Seeing that such a situation occurred, Jin Li and Tian Xiong had to give up today's siege plan and go back to discuss countermeasures. At night, Yin Yue, who was in the mining pavilion, welcomed the envoy from the city.

Chen Wen came back, and in just three days he took Tangxi County and Jinhua City one after another, and even eliminated the basic force of the rebels. The news of the execution of Ma Jinbao immediately boosted the morale of the Ming army on the Northern Front, and even he himself was no exception.

The rebellion was quickly suppressed, and Yin Yue was quite satisfied with his performance during this period. From Chen Wen's handwritten letter, he could even see the praise of the great man who has been following him to this day.

However, during this period, although Yiwu and Pujiang counties did not have any counter-revolutionaries, some people who were wise and unrestrained in the countryside also emerged. Not only did he have no spare time to assist the garrison in extermination, the war on the Northern Front is also very tense, but he can continue to persist with the terrifying defense of the bastion. The pressure brought by the Qing army's military strength was very great, and more of the reserve troops of the Ming army on the Northern Front, as well as the pressure on food and grass and military supplies became increasingly tense as the Cao Conglong rebellion began, especially the gunpowder consumption had greatly exceeded the previous estimate.

These problems will inevitably affect the development direction of the overall situation, because once the northern front is lost, the Ming army must completely return to defense. At that time, even if the Qing army's attack was temporarily repelled, it would be difficult to have the current initiative when facing the dilemma of fighting on both sides.

When Yin Yue's reply was taken back to the city by the messenger, it was the last day for Lingchi. It was logical that at noon on this day the executioner would stab the last knife and complete the entire punishment. Chen Wen would definitely appear at such a moment, but it was too early, and he was still in the governor's office to continue handling official duties.

After reading the reply, Chen Wen was quite satisfied with the defense work of the northern front. Not only did the guards of the lenipotentiary strictly follow Cao Dian and repair the city walls at night, but Yin Yue, who was mainly engaged in harassment tasks, also had a good understanding of tactical needs. The harassment work did delay the attack rhythm of the Qing army while protecting himself. This can be said to be the last news he had heard in the past half month.

However, Chen Wen was also very helpless about the gap in food, military weapons, and reserve troops mentioned in the letter.
