Beauty and the Bodyguard

Looking at Zhang Yiming's previous status in the Jianchun Sect, we can see how weak the Zhang Weibing family's influence has become.

So as soon as Zhang Yiming introduced Lin Yi's identity and title, Zhang Weibing subconsciously wanted to kneel down.

How could Lin Yi really make him kneel down? He quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Weibing's arm through the fine iron fence.

"Uncle Zhang, there is no need to be polite. Yi Ming and I are superiors and colleagues in the army. Privately, we are brothers. That is true! You are an elder. If you are polite, you will offend me."

"Commander...His Royal Highness Wangsun..."

Zhang Weibing was a little incoherent.

He really didn't expect such a scene to happen.

He was imprisoned, his property was taken away, and his family was destroyed. He was almost in despair!

Lin Yi suddenly appeared and called him uncle... Why does it feel like he's dreaming?

"Commander! The Lord of Yunying City framed my family and imprisoned the general. Please make the decision for the general!"

Zhang Yiming doesn't care about his father, but first files a complaint in front of Lin Yi. That bastard Huo Jingtian, wait for death!

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi just smiled and shook his head: "I won't care about this, you guys can handle it yourself!"

Zhang Yiming was surprised, what? Commander, you don’t care?

No, Senior Brother Sima, brother! If you don't care, I can't handle Huo Jingtian!

Lin Yi turned around and motioned to the people next to him to open the cell door, personally welcomed Zhang Weibing out, and then continued with a smile: "Huo Jingtian intends to rebel, and he is probably not dead. Uncle Zhang will work harder in the future, and temporarily let Yun Take up the burden of Yingcheng!"

Zhang Weibing and Zhang Yiming, father and son, looked confused. What does this mean?

"I am the commander-in-chief of the war in Northern Xinjiang, and I have the power to make decisions on the fly. Huo Jingtian is suspected of treason, and it must be a conspiracy of the enemy! No matter whether he is still alive or not, he cannot continue to be the city lord of Yunying City. From now on, Uncle Zhang will be Yunying City The new city lord!"

Zhang Weibing continued to be confused. His family was about to be destroyed, but he suddenly became the lord of Yunying City?

It’s so unreal!

You are really dreaming, right? !

Zhang Yiming reacted quickly. Knowing that Lin Yi did have this power, he was overjoyed and bowed and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Commander!"

With Lin Yi's words, the Zhang family would rise from an ordinary rich man with mineral wealth to the aristocratic class of Hongshang County!

Although the position of commander of Tingfeng Camp is no weaker than that of the city lord of Yunying City, it is only effective in the military.

After the class, if the Royal Capital garrison returns to its duties, it is not certain whether Tingfeng Camp can still be retained!

"Between you and me, there is no need to be polite. Let's go out first!"

Lin Yi waved his hand carelessly.

Of course, the stronger my younger brother's family is, the better. Not to mention whether they can provide help, at least they can live well even if I leave in the future.

The prison was never a place to talk, so Lin Yi quickly walked out with Zhang Yiming and his son.

Just for a moment, Song Shaopeng and the cavalry from the Guards Battalion appeared on the street in the distance again.

The evil aura was a little stronger, and there was more blood on his body. It was obvious that Huo Jingtian's pursuers were finished.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the rebels have been annihilated. The Guards Battalion killed 1,073 enemies, and the rest were all captured! The head of the rebel leader Huo Jingtian is here!"

Song Shaopeng rode up to Lin Yi, dismounted neatly and picked up a human head that was still bleeding.

It was Huo Jingtian, the lord of Yunying City who was trying to please Lin Yi just now.

Lin Yi just glanced at it and stopped paying attention to Huo Jingtian's head: "How is the damage to the guard camp?"

In fact, there was no need to ask. With a quick glance of his consciousness, Lin Yi knew that there were many casualties in the Guards Battalion.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, forty-one people were killed in the Guards Battalion, twenty-three were seriously injured, and minor injuries...there are no statistics!"

Song Shaopeng was a little ashamed. He led 700 men into the battle, and nearly 10% of them were seriously injured and dead. Although it was nothing compared to the enemy's casualties, it could be considered a great victory anywhere!

But comparing the previous battles led by Lin Yi, the gap is huge!

In the battle of annihilation of a thousand people in front of the prison, not a single person in the Guards Battalion was injured. It was a complete victory!

Looking further ahead, in the attack on the camp in Huoyan City and the ambush battle halfway through Duoyuan City, under the leadership of Lin Yi, they faced dozens of times the number of enemies, and the casualties were not huge!

"The injured brothers will be treated well, and those who died in battle will be buried generously, and their pensions will be doubled! The merits we deserve must not be less!"

Lin Yi was silent for a moment and gave the order in a low voice.

The Guards Battalion already has the prototype of a super strong army, and in the process of growth, casualties are inevitable.

If Lin Yi had led the team just now, he might have kept these soldiers alive, but again, Lin Yi was not a nanny and could not take them with him forever.

When Lin Yi leaves in the future, the guard camp will still face these!

"Thank you, Marshal!"

Song Shaopeng thanked the dead and wounded soldiers, and also thanked the living soldiers.

He didn't think there was anything wrong. The purpose of the guard camp was to protect Lin Yi.

It is impossible for the coach to be at the forefront every time there is a war, so what else do they need as a guard battalion?

"City Lord Zhang, I will leave the takeover and aftermath of Yunying City to you. I will temporarily ask Commander Zhang and Deputy Commander Song to cooperate with you. I hope the situation in Yunying City can be stabilized as soon as possible!"

Lin Yi turned to Zhang Weibing (Zhang's father). When dealing with official matters, it is not appropriate to use personal addresses.

Zhang Weibing understood this, so he immediately bowed and accepted the order.

"I'm going to do it now, I will definitely live up to the commander's expectations."

Zhang Yiming and Song Shaopeng also bowed and agreed. The three of them quickly got into the mood and began to take over the entire Yunying City.

Those Huo Jingtian's confidants knew that this matter was serious, and the person they offended was Sima Zhongda, one of the top figures in the entire Hongshang Commandery.

The timid ones have packed up their filial piety and fled or hid secretly, while the bolder ones directly took the initiative to join Zhang Weibing, hoping to be able to make meritorious deeds and, with good luck, retain their original status.

Yunying City gradually returned to normal amid the turmoil, and early the next morning, the influence left by Huo Jingtian had been basically eliminated.

The common people below even thought that it would be better to replace Zhang Weibing as the city lord.

Near noon, Fei Daqiang and his vast rear army finally arrived at Yunying City and met up with Lin Yi.

In addition to food and baggage, Fei Daqiang actually brought 70,000 to 80,000 cattle and sheep.

These are not dark spiritual beasts, but normal domestic meat.

Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

Not counting these cattle and sheep, the food and grass for an army of 50,000 people is almost enough for three years!

If it really takes three years... I'm afraid they'll all rot, right?

Lin Yi himself didn't expect that putting Fei Daqiang in charge of logistics would lead to such a big battle.

Along the way, this guy has recruited more than 25,000 troops, which is not too much. They are all within the scope of the recruitment order.

But if grain transportation, herding, craftsmen, etc. are all counted as auxiliary troops, this army will directly exceed 60,000!
