Chapter 23: All parties scolded
Taiyuan, Shanxi, Yan Baichuan Official Residence
"What did you say? Li Peiji was shot dead and Gui Sui fell into Han Ling's hands?"
When Lao Yan heard the news, he was stunned.
This was something he had never expected.
Eighty or nine thousand cavalry faced five or six thousand infantry, but they were defeated by others, and even the commander was killed. What was going on?
The most important thing is that Han Ling killed Li Peiji.
This is an extraordinary event.
One warlord killed the other warlord. This kind of thing has never happened in other places except Sun Chuanfang who has done it in the past two years.
But now it happened.
"Baichuan! It seems that Han Ling is very ambitious! He actually publicly destroyed our rules. It's time for us to prepare!"
Zhao Daiwen did not answer Lao Yan's words, but said with some sigh.
"You mean that it's not possible at the moment. Unless we conquer Nanjing, we won't have the extra energy to do this!"
Lao Yan thought about it but shook his head and refused.
He understood what Zhao Daiwen meant, that was to mobilize troops to wipe out Han Ling first, otherwise it would be a bad idea to let him make trouble behind him like this.
"Baichuan! Do you really think so? Han Ling only had a month and a half, and in less than two months, he had such troops. And the most important thing is that I also received a piece of news that Han Ling's attack on Guisui was not just the force of two regiments, but the force of three regiments, with more than 8,000 people.
Do you still think he is Xiaoji?"
Zhao Daiwen stared at Lao Yan.
"The forces of the three regiments? Where did he get so many troops? Why did he expand his army so quickly? Could it be a group of farmers?"
Lao Yan couldn't help but frown.
"I don't think so! It is said that these three regiments have participated in the battle to attack Guisui. Being able to win Guisui means that they are still combat-capable and will not be too weak. If we don't hurry up and deal with it now, we will have great trouble after we take Nanjing!"
To be honest, Zhao Daiwen really admires Han Ling.
In such a short time, a unit of eight or nine thousand people was formed, and Li Peiji's troops were also able to eat.
This is by no means accidental, even luck.
That is also a kind of strength.
So he now attaches great importance to Han Ling.
After hearing this, Lao Yan did not immediately publish anything, but was weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, he said, "I think this is the case, so I don't care about Han Ling for the time being. Let's establish our advantages first, and then turn around and beat Han Ling.
Otherwise, if we beat Han Ling now, it will be bad for us.
Now our main players are trapped on the front line.
If there are fewer people who are drawn, they will probably be eaten by Han Ling.
Instead of just destroying our reputation, it is better to solve the enemy in front of you first!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Lao Yan decided to fight Nanjing first.
After all, this is the most urgent task at hand.
"Oh! Let it go! I just hope Han Ling doesn't develop too fast! Otherwise, even if we solve anyone in Nanjing, when we look back, one will grow up behind us."
Zhao Daiwen said with some concern.
"Haha! Duke Long, you're worried too much! They are just in Guisui now! No matter how they develop, they won't develop much better. When we free up our hands, they won't be worried!"
"Principal, Han Ling had already captured Guisui two days ago and shot Li Peiji!"
Dai Li stood in front of the chairman and was very respectful. Well! After all, this was not just his boss, but also his principal.
"Have Li Peiji killed?"
When the chairman heard this, his brows frowned.
"Yes! Li Peiji was killed on the spot!"
The chairman did not speak after hearing this, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he said, "We don't have any words. Where are the people you sent now?"
"It's almost time to Guisui! I guess it will arrive tomorrow!"
Dai Li knew that the Chairman attached great importance to these news, so he kept these things in mind.
"Well! Don't rush to see Han Ling after arriving in Guisui, a few days later!"
The chairman also thought about these things.
Han Ling killed Li Peiji and would definitely attract unanimous attacks from all over the country.
At this time, if he wants to win over Han Ling and take Han Ling for his own use, he cannot scold Han Ling for breaking the rules.
On the contrary, he had to speak out at this time. When Han Ling was scolded by the whole country, he would stand up and speak for Han Ling.
From here, achieve the goal of calming down.
As for the reason for excuse Han Ling, the Chairman had already thought about it.
He knew why Han Ling killed Li Peiji.
Because Li Peiji had thought about letting Han Ling die, this can be said to be a private revenge.
The Chairman's prediction is indeed correct.
On March 4, Han Ling killed Li Peiji.
On March 7, many newspapers across the country began to attack Han Ling.
Like Yan Baichuan, Li Zongren, and Liu Xiang, they all began to unanimously support Li Peiji and attack Han Ling.
"Butcher! Killing Li Peiji, the chairman of a province for his own selfish interests, is crazy."
"The most evil warlord! If you rashly kill the chairman of a province, you should commit suicide and apologize!"
"The most hateful military and clan in China, who kills the provincial chairman for his own benefit, should be mourning for Li Peiji for three days!"
Han Ling became famous for a moment.
It's just that he was scolded for being famous. Countless people asked Han Ling to commit suicide and apologize, and some people asked Han Ling to filial piety for Li Peiji.
Some people also believe that Han Ling should support Li Peiji's family.
Anyway, it was the voice of various slaughter.
Feng Yuxiang and others were even more clamoring to wait for the current soldiers to solve the problem and immediately send troops to Guisui to deal with the scum Han Ling.
Chapter completed!
