my unparalleled way

Chapter 778 Expedition
In the early morning of the next day, Lin gathered his army at four o'clock, and once again divided his troops from Gancheng to attack from the east and the west.

But this time, their goal is no longer a certain city or two, but plans to recover all the cities along the route that are close to [-] miles away.

This is an expedition, even if Mu Zheping is not around, Lin Si will still fight.

Sooner or later, the Southern Qi would come to reinforce them. When facing the new Southern Qi army, Lin Si would not allow 20 enemies to remain in his rear.

But if there is no Mu Zheping, even if he divides his troops into two groups, he will not take the risk of letting the rest lead the troops to fight all the way to the Northwest Theater, after all, there are still heavy troops from the Southern Qi Dynasty there.

The specific arrangement of this division of troops was somewhat incomprehensible to the generals of the interior army.

The 15 internal army was divided into three parts by Lin Si.

1 people stayed in Gancheng, and 8 people attacked to the west, led by General Li Mu.As for the last 6 people, under the command of Lin Si, they marched eastward all the way.

The 4000 members of the Beigu clan were also divided into two, with 2000 following Li Mu and 2000 following Lin Si.

This arrangement was originally nothing.

Although Lin Si's troops are relatively weak, everyone has already been convinced by Lin Si's command level.

Even if he only brings 3 people, everyone will still have full confidence in him.

But in terms of senior generals, Lin Si was so divided that everyone couldn't understand.

Fan Xing, Jiang Qi Yuxun and more than a dozen senior generals of the internal army were all brought by Lin Si's side.In addition, even Jia Rong, Xue Chen, Tan Xiu and others are no exception.

As for the other army, Li Mu's West Route Army had only Mu Zheping, Ye Hong, Nie He and a few generals above the fourth rank, and the rest were middle-level officers.

In the eyes of the generals of the internal army at this time, Li Mu and Ye Hong were the only two real senior generals along the way.As for Mu Zheping and Nie He, in their eyes, they are just two powerful practitioners.

Only Li Mu and Ye Hong understood the intention of Lin Si's move. All the senior generals of the West Route Army were removed by Lin Si, just to allow Mu Zheping to take control of this army as quickly as possible without hindrance. .

General Li Mu of the Fu Army, in previous years, mostly reported his duties in Xiancheng, the capital of the king. He had very little experience in commanding troops on the border, and he did not have any outstanding achievements.

Although his military rank is very high, both Lin Si and himself know very well that his ability to lead troops is actually quite ordinary.

On the other hand, perhaps because he has stayed in the Xiancheng military headquarters for too long, he is well versed in the all-round tricks of officialdom, otherwise he would not be able to climb to his current position.

This person is not a general who is used to fighting, but he was sent by Yueshan as Lin Si's number one 'helper' in the army.The reason is simple, he is a smart person, he knows what to do to satisfy Yueshan, and he knows what not to do.

Yueshan sent him here not to advise Lin Si, guide Lin Si, or even teach Lin Si, but to support Lin Si.

Li Mu knew exactly what he should do.

Before that, Lin Si asked him to stay in the city and send troops to Luanshan. These orders seemed incomprehensible until the results of the battle came out.However, Li Mu, whose military rank was not inferior to Lin Si's, never had any objections, and he faithfully carried out Lin Si's orders.

He didn't care about the outcome of the war at all, nor did he care about military exploits and military power.All he wanted was for the future Moon King Yue Lianshan to be satisfied with him.

In fact, even though Lin Si knew that his level of fighting was not high, he would never treat him badly in the future.

In a sense, Li Mu's 'vision' was countless times farther than Song Zhenhai and others.

Before sending out troops this time, Lin Si had already explained to him in advance, and he knew what to do next.

Give Mu Zheping and Ye Hong enough opportunities to perform their duties, so that the middle and lower ranks of officers and soldiers will trust them and obey them.

As for Mu Zheping's commanding ability, he didn't know, and he didn't intend to explore it.

In Lin Si's plan, when Mu Zheping fights all the way to the edge of the Northwest Theater and completes this tens of thousands of miles long expedition, he will have a very high prestige in the hearts of these 8 people.

……

The two expeditions went very smoothly in the early stage.

On the first day alone, Lin Si had already broken through four cities in a row, heading east for [-] miles.On this road, the Southern Qi defenders in the cities along the route would collapse at the touch of a finger.

This is a very normal thing, and now there are only 20 people left in the Southern Qi army in the middle.

These armies were too scattered, and the number of defenders in each city was only a few thousand, and the few were only a few hundred. How could it be possible to stop Lin Si's 6 people?
Along the way, Lin Si and the others hardly experienced any decent battles, they just crossed the city and returned.

He didn't leave any troops in these cities to guard and manage them, because there weren't that many people at all.

The next day, Lin Si simply divided the only 2 troops into three groups.2 people from Fan Xing's route, 2 people from Jiang Qiyuxun's route, [-] Beigu people from each route, and [-] people from Lin Si himself in the last route.

The three roads ran parallel to the east at the same time, and the Southern Qi defenders in the cities along the route almost fled.

As for the western front, Mu Zheping's progress is also very smooth.

With Li Mu's support, he also divided the [-] army into three groups. Ye Hong, Li Mu and himself each led the way, and the same way was unimpeded.

When the time came to the third day, the two armies had marched four to five thousand miles to both sides respectively, and no less than fifty cities had been recovered, and the situation in the entire northern occupied area was very good.

Although many cities were recovered, they annihilated not many Southern Qi troops. So far, less than 2 Southern Qi troops have died at the hands of the two expeditionary forces.

Especially after the second day, they never met any resistance again, and the Nanqi people seemed to have been completely beaten out of courage.

But Lin Mu knew very well that the two expeditions could not go on so smoothly forever.

Although the Southern Qi Army in the north is sparsely distributed, it still has 20 soldiers. Their strength is actually higher than that of the Inner Army.

Now they are sweeping towards the east and west, and hardly encounter a single Southern Qi soldier. The reason is self-evident, these scattered Southern Qi troops are already beginning to gather.

They will inevitably block their own side somewhere in the front.

In Lin Si's original plan, these Southern Qi troops were nothing to worry about, because the Yue Kingdom's army already had more than 15 internal troops.

There are also nearly 35 Northern Army. Excluding the 20 that Song Zhenhai took away, and the remaining 15 in Guangcheng after World War I, there are still 20 Northern Army that have not yet been sent to the frontline.

They had been guarding the border towns of the Nanqi-occupied area before.

Now Lin Mu's two-way expeditionary force has quickly recovered a large area of ​​territory, which is no longer a 'border', and these northern troops can go directly out of the city and go north.

With the addition of the 20 Northern Army, no matter how much the Southern Qi people roiled, they would not be able to make any waves.

Before Lin Si set off on the expedition, he had already sent people to give orders to the northern army generals in the cities along the route to go north.

however……

It is now the third day. Of the nearly 6 northern troops stationed on the eastern front, only [-] followed the order and came to Taicheng, where he is now, to join him.

As for the other 4 people, they are still standing still.And their reasons were surprisingly consistent. The Southern Qi army in the north had not been completely wiped out, and the army should not act rashly. Otherwise, once the Southern Qi people went south, the hinterland of the Moon Kingdom would suffer a devastating blow.

"Heh, Song Zhenhai is really impeccable. He already thought that I would dispatch these 20 people." Regarding all this, Lin Si had a clear understanding of everything.

How could he fail to see that Song Zhenhai must have notified the 20 troops in advance.

Otherwise, how would the remaining people have the guts to disobey the orders of their own coach?

What army can't act rashly?If the Southern Qi people entered the hinterland of the Moon Kingdom now, they would be courting death.The hinterland of Yue Kingdom is not without resistance, and when Lin Si seals their escape route back to the north, where can the people of Southern Qi escape?

This is just an excuse that Song Zhenhai taught them in advance.

The real reason was that they were more willing to listen to Song Zhenhai than to listen to their coach.
