Taiyuan, Shanxi, Yan Baichuan's official residence
"What did you say? Li Peiji was killed and Gui Sui fell into Han Ling's hands?”
When Old Yan heard the news, he was stunned.
This was something he had never expected.
Eight to nine thousand cavalrymen against five to six thousand infantrymen, and they were completely defeated by the enemy. Even their commander was killed. What was going on?
Most importantly, Han Ling had killed Li Peiji.
This was a big deal.
One warlord killed another warlord. This kind of thing had never happened anywhere else except for Sun Chuanfang in the 20th year.
But now, it had happened.
"Baichuan! It seemed like Han Ling was quite ambitious! He actually publicly broke our rules. It's time for us to make preparations!"
Zhao Daiwen didn't answer Old Yan's question. Instead, he sighed.
"Are you saying that we can't do it now unless we take Nanjing? Otherwise, we won't have the extra energy to do this!”
Old Yan thought for a moment and shook his head in refusal.
He understood Zhao Daiwen's intention. He wanted to mobilize his forces to eliminate Han Ling first. Otherwise, it would not be good to let him cause trouble from behind.
"Baichuan! Do you really think so? Han Ling had only spent a month and a half, less than two months, and he already had such an army. More importantly, I also received news that Han Ling didn't just send two regiments to attack Gui Sui, but three regiments, over 8,000 people.
Do you still think he's a minor illness?"
Zhao Daiwen stared at Old Yan.
"Three regiments? Where did he get so many soldiers? How did they expand so quickly? Could it be a group of farmers?"
Old Yan couldn't help but frown.
"I don't think so! It was said that these three regiments had participated in the attack on Gui Sui. To be able to take down Gui Sui, it meant that they still had combat strength and were not too weak. If we don't hurry up and deal with it now, we'll be in big trouble after we take down Nanjing!”
To be honest, Zhao Daiwen admired Han Ling.
In such a short period of time, they had gathered an army of eight to nine thousand people, and they were even able to eat up Li Peiji's army.
This was definitely not a coincidence. It could be considered luck.
That was also a form of strength.
Therefore, he valued Han Ling very much.
Old Yan didn't say anything immediately after hearing that, but weighed the pros and cons.
After a while, he said,"I think we should leave Han Ling alone for now." We'll establish our advantage first, then turn around and attack Han Ling.
Otherwise, if we attack Han Ling now, it will not be good for our side.
Right now, our main forces are stuck at the front line.
If they transferred too few people, they would probably be eaten by Han Ling.
Instead of damaging our reputation, why don't we get rid of the enemy in front of us first!”
After weighing the pros and cons, Old Yan decided to fight Nanjing first.
After all, this was the most urgent matter at hand.
"Sigh! Up to you! He just hoped that Han Ling would not develop too quickly! Otherwise, even if we get rid of the one in Nanjing, we will have another one in our rear.”
Zhao Daiwen said worriedly.
"Haha! Ci Long Gong, you worry too much! They were only in a corner now! No matter how it developed, it would not develop well. When we have free hands, they won't be a concern!”
"Principal, two days ago, Han Ling took down Gui Sui and shot Li Peiji to death!”
Dai Li stood respectfully in front of the chairman. Yes! After all, this was not only his superior, but also his principal.
"Killed Li Peiji?"
When the chairman heard this, he could not help but frown.
"Yes, I am! He killed Li Peiji on the spot!"
The chairman didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he said,"Let's not say anything. Where are the people you sent now?"”
"We're almost at Gui Sui! They will probably arrive tomorrow!"
Dai Li knew that the chairman valued this information very much, so he remembered these things by heart.
"Yes! Don't be in a hurry to see Han Ling after you arrive at Gui Sui, wait a few days first!”
The chairman also had some thoughts about this.
Han Ling had killed Li Peiji, so he would definitely be attacked by all the warlords in the country.
At this time, he wanted to rope Han Ling in and make him his own. He could not scold him for breaking the rules.
On the contrary, he had to keep quiet at this time. He would only stand up for Han Ling when he was scolded by the whole country.
From here, he could achieve the goal of calming his heart.
As for the reason for Han Ling's absolution, the chairman had already thought about it.
He knew why Han Ling wanted to kill Li Peiji.
Because Li Peiji wanted Han Ling dead, this could be considered a personal grudge.
The chairman's prediction was indeed correct.
On March 4th, Han Ling killed Li Peiji.
On March 7th, many newspapers across the country began to denounce Han Ling.
People like Yan Baichuan, Li Zongren, and Liu Xiang all started to support Li Peiji and crusade against Han Ling.
"Butcher! Killing the head of a province, Li Peiji, for personal gain is a lunatic."
"The most evil warlord! If you rashly kill the head of a province, you should commit suicide to apologize!”
"China's most hated military tyrants killed the provincial head for their own benefit. They should mourn for Li Peiji for three days!”
....
Han Ling became famous in an instant.
However, he was scolded and became famous. Countless people asked Han Ling to commit suicide to apologize. At the same time, there were also people who asked Han Ling to mourn for Li Peiji.
Some people thought that Han Ling should support Li Peiji's family.
In any case, there were all kinds of voices of crusade.
People like Feng Yuxiang were even clamoring to send their troops back to the city after they dealt with the current soldiers and get rid of the scum Han Ling.
