With the addition of Peng Ziliang's forces, Chen Yunxuan's forces suddenly owned two counties.
We are only halfway to taking over the four counties of Xiangnan.
Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan changed their original plan and decided to lead their troops directly to attack Yongdao County south of Lingwu County.
Of course, while leading the army to attack, you must also arrange for people to stay behind.
On the Wangchen County side, the two left Wang Shenghan, Ye Moqing, Su Ruoxue, and Shen Xingyao to defend.
As for the newly acquired Lingwu County, the two chose to keep Zhang Yanwu, Peng Wenyu, Xiaojiu and Axiu.
As a result, the remaining Lin Tongxi, Chen Yunxuan, Peng Ziliang and Yue Lingyun followed suit to attack the remaining two counties.
The first place to be attacked is Yongdao County, whose governor is Du Liu, a local powerful family.
His son Du Neng was quite talented and was in charge of government affairs.
As for military affairs, they are under the charge of his general Rong Daoxing.
Chen Yunxuan led his troops to the city of Yongdao and tried to persuade them to surrender.
"Taishu Du, Mao Dehui has now led his army to annihilate the Wen family army, and has also sidelined Ding Nanjing's successor, Ding Qicong."
"We sincerely invite Governor Du to join our army and defeat Mao Dehui together!"
"I wonder what Governor Du thinks!"
Lin and Chen's confidants took loudspeakers and shouted to Governor Du on the city wall.
Du Liu looked at the army below, wondering whether to surrender to Chen Yunxuan.
For the aristocratic families, they actually don’t care who is the ruler.
As long as they are allowed to govern this place, they will submit to them.
But... surrendering too many times is not a good thing after all, and you don’t have to surrender to every attacking force.
"My son, what do you think?" Du Liu looked at his son Du Neng. He has always been smart and he should be able to give more worthy advice.
Du Neng thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer: "Father, there's a saying that goes 'A wise bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses a master to serve.'"
"The heroic leader Ding Nanjing is dead. Although Ding Qicong has succeeded him as the governor of Xiangzhou, he is not a wise leader."
"His power was controlled by Mao Dehui and Pang Xiang behind him."
"Joining them would make the position more delicate."
"Although Chen Yunxuan's power is good, it is still no match for Prime Minister Xiahou in the north."
"Of course, even if we surrender to the Chen army now, we can still find an opportunity to surrender to Prime Minister Xiahou later."
"Whether to fight or surrender, I leave it to Father to decide."
After listening to Du Neng's opinion, Du Liu wanted to surrender even more.
But his general Rong Daoxing was not happy about it. He insisted on fighting the enemy no matter what: "My lord, if we surrender like this, won't those rats look down on us!"
"If we must surrender, we must be given generous treatment."
"In my opinion, it would be better to send me to fight him first."
"If we win, it will prove that Chen Yunxuan's army is not worth mentioning and is not worthy of surrender."
"If you lose, it's not too late to surrender later."
Rong Daoxing's words were not brainless, but were made with selfish motives.
You should know that he is one of the best generals in Xiangzhou and possesses the strength of a sixth-rank martial master.
It’s a pity that Rong Daoxing never had any chance to be of use, and he could only suppress bandits.
If Du Liu surrendered like this, he might have to follow him to guard Yongdao.
In this case, when will he ever be able to make a breakthrough?
"You are right... I, Du Liu, have worked in Yongdao for many years. It would be embarrassing for me to surrender like this." After much deliberation, Du Liu finally decided to send Rong Daoxing to fight.
After hearing Du Liu's order, Du Neng ordered his soldiers to beat drums and blow trumpets.
It was both to boost Rong Daoxing's morale and to remind the other party that he refused to surrender.
The confidant knew that his attempt to persuade the capitulation had failed, so he turned back to the tent and reported the matter.
"In that case, let's fight them and let the four counties of Xiangnan see the strength of our army!" After Chen Yunxuan finished speaking, he continued to issue an order: "General Yue, I order you to lead your troops to defeat the enemy!"
"Yes, I obey your command!" Yue Lingyun clasped his fists and then organized the army.
At this time, Rong Daoxing led the army out and confronted the troops organized by Yue Lingyun.
"I am General Rong Daoxing of Yongdao. Do you dare to fight me?" Rong Daoxing shouted to the enemy army while holding a big axe.
"Ha! You dare to challenge me with such strength? You are overestimating yourself. Since you have offered me your heads, I have no choice but to accept them." After saying that, Yue Lingyun rode his BMW and rushed towards the enemy.
The BMW he rode was named Zhaoying, and was red all over. It was a gift from the owners of the five major martial arts schools in Guangyang County. It could travel a thousand miles a day and was extremely fast.
Before Rong Daoxing could react, Yue Lingyun arrived in front of him.
A long spear came at him, and Rong Daoxing hurriedly blocked it with his axe, which shook him so much that he almost couldn't hold the weapon steadily with his hands.
This person is so terrifying that he has already surpassed the sixth rank of Martial Sect!
Rong Daoxing really wanted to surrender, but it was he who suggested attacking the enemy, and it would be too embarrassing not to fight a few rounds.
Helplessly, for the sake of face, he had to cheer himself up and prepare to continue the duel with Yue Lingyun.
"The thief will die!" Rong Daoxing swung his axe, ready to deliver his strongest blow.
But Yue Lingyun didn't give him any extra chance to perform. He drove Zhaoying over and attacked with all his strength again.
After just two rounds, Rong Daoxing fell off his horse and died at the hands of Yue Lingyun.
Rong Daoxing, lying on the ground, stared at Yue Lingyun with his eyes wide open.
He had never expected that such a powerful person would emerge from the southern part of Xiangzhou...
After Rong Daoxing's death, the army collapsed.
The main general is dead, what's the point of fighting?
