He could only seize the time and send the news back. Whether they would fight or make peace in the end was not something he could worry about.
Jin Yuanbao looked at the Messenger's back with a disdainful smile. He slowly got up and walked to Lin Yi.
The domineering aura from before had disappeared without a trace, and he had returned to his former appearance of a good-for-nothing little fatty.
Lin Yi didn't comment on Jin Yuanbao's report-it didn't matter if they fought or not.
The merit this time was enough for him to gain a great right to speak in Hongshang Commandery.
A day later, the messenger from seitong Commandery asked to see him again. He expressed that he was willing to give up five cities on the northern border and bear the loss of military expenses in the war.
The exact amount would be discussed when the contract was officially signed.
The reason why he was so forthright was actually because of the black charm Commandery.
The troops of the black magic Commandery, which were originally going to attack the Hongshang Commandery, stopped at the border of the three commanderies after receiving the news of the defeat of the seitong Commandery.
He also had the intention to attack the selencopper Commandery.
If the war between Hongshang Commandery and seitong Commandery expanded in the northern border, the black magic Commandery would probably tear up the agreement with seitong Commandery, take the opportunity to attack seitong Commandery, and cooperate with Hongshang Commandery.
On the other side, another Commandery that was adjacent to seitong Commandery received a letter written by Sima zhengxin of Hongshang Commandery and had the intention to send troops.
If they defended the northern border, they would also collapse in other areas. The best choice for seitong Commandery was to give up, withdraw their forces, and then seek diplomacy.
No matter what the people of seitong Commandery thought, from Lin Yi's point of view, this was a huge victory!
In the meeting room of the city Lord's mansion, Lin Yi gathered his trusted men, including Liu Ziyu and song shaopeng, for a small meeting.
"The military counselor has done a good job in the negotiation this time. Seitong Commandery has ceded five key towns in the North. In the future, it will be more difficult for them to invade our Hongshang Commandery."
Lin Yi started off with a compliment, a smile on his face as if he was in a good mood."Next, I'll take over the five cities that have been ceded. This matter can't be delayed. It must be carried out as soon as possible."
"Vice commander Wu, you will make the arrangements. Commander li will assist vice commander Wu. In terms of manpower, take a portion from fire sickle city, curl Flower City, and Fei Du city. After that, add in the guards of the Royal capital. We can not give them a chance to regret and delay."
"Military counselor, continue to negotiate with seitong Commandery and settle the amount of war reparations. Commander Ling's Scout Camp will have to work harder and pay more attention to the movements of seitong Commandery around the five cities."
"Commander Zhang's tingfeng camp is mainly heading towards Hongshang Commandery. During our March, many spies and high-level officials in selenbronze Commandery and heimei Commandery were exposed. We must find and kill all these vermin!"
Lin Yi assigned the tasks one by one, and everyone bowed to accept the orders. Liu Ziyu was eager to try, but he couldn't ask for a mission.
It was not convenient for him to lead the Army with the title of Army supervisor. He finally had a chance to fulfill his dream, but who knew that it would be in vain again.
Lin Yi looked at Liu Ziyu helplessly-he'd wanted to give him some training, but the seitong Commandery just surrendered ... There was no other way.
As for song shaopeng, he didn't have any other thoughts. He would follow Lin Yi wherever he went. As the Vice commander of the guards, he only needed to follow the commander.
"Marshal! This general has a request ..."
Zhang Yiming suddenly spoke, and his chubby face looked a little embarrassed,""It's a private matter, I don't know if I should say it?"
"I've already finished my business. You can speak now!"
Lin Yi smiled as he nodded. Zhang Yiming was an old man who had followed him for a long time, so he didn't mind small things like this.
"It's like this, this General's surveillance camp's commander has seized the country, so this general wants to leave first and go home to take a look ... Yunying city is on our way back. This general hasn't been home for a long time, so ..."
Zhang Yiming stammered. It wasn't a big deal. He was just going home to visit his family!
Lin Yi thought about it. Yunying city was indeed on the military route, but it wasn't a necessary route.
It was only because Yunying city was on the capital's draft list that it was on the March route.
If Lin Yi was leading the Army normally, he would spend half a day to a day's time, taking a detour to Yunying city to recruit soldiers and food.
However, Lin Yi didn't take the normal route. He took the guards unit along a small path, and the main force of the capital's Garrison led by Wu yucao didn't go to Yunying city either.
At that time, the war was urgent, and Zhang Yiming could not go back to visit his relatives.
Now that the situation was settled, and Lin Yi had achieved a rare victory in the past few decades, Zhang Yiming wanted to go home.
As the saying goes, wealth does not return to its home, just like a night walk in silk clothes.
In the past, Zhang xiaopang did not do well in the sword spring sect. In fact, he was also very ordinary in Yunying city. Other than being rich, he did not have much face.
But it was different now!
The commander of tingfeng camp under the banner of the general of Conqueror, even the Lord of Yunying city, would have to bow down to him!
"It's approved! Commander Zhang will go to Yunying city first. I will also go to Yunying city with my personal guards unit ... Oh, where is Fei daqiang?"
Lin Yi didn't know if he should laugh or cry at the mention of Fei daqiang-the guy's deeds had already spread, and Lin Yi had naturally heard of it.
To be honest, Fei daqiang had done a good job. The problem was that he had plundered a large number of rations, enough for 50000 troops to eat for several years!
However, the battle had already ended before his rear Army had even reached the battlefield!
This was very awkward!
Should she continue to let him send over the rations?
After swallowing the five cities of the seitong Commandery, there was indeed a need for food supplies. However, those were the resources of the Expeditionary Army. It would not be nice to casually distribute them to the border Army!
If someone were to mess this up, it'd be evidence that Lin Yi was trying to buy people's hearts and gather troops for himself.
Of course, Lin Yi didn't care about something as boring as this. He just thought it was troublesome.
"Commander-in-Chief, commander Fei has not arrived at Yunying city yet. Given the current schedule of the rear Army, commander Fei would arrive at Yunying city one day after commander Zhang returns!"
Ling Hanxue's Scout Camp had more information on this, so she answered Lin Yi's question immediately.
"Just nice! Commander Zhang, go back to Yunying city and wait for commander Fei to come. Let him wait for me there!"
"Maybe I'll get to Yunying city before him. I don't care, let him wait for me there." Lin Yi said after some thought.
"Yes!"
Zhang Yiming agreed loudly. He was secretly excited and couldn't wait to go back to Yunying city to visit his parents and family.
