After Yanfeng's army fled into Wan County, Li Ruoyu did not rush to attack.
He didn't have enough troops, but he could chase them down. If he really attacked, he would only expose his shortcomings. He might even be able to let Yanfeng's army escape.
In order to bluff, he had all the tanks circle around Wanxian to confuse Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang.
Long Wenzhang's 2nd Brigade also sat in trucks and circled around Wanxian County, firing bullets at the city from time to time.
The dust and bullets from all directions frightened Yan Feng's army. Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang thought that they were surrounded by at least a hundred thousand soldiers.
However, they did not know that there were only 20,000 people surrounding them.
Under such pressure, Yan and Feng finally compromised. In order to leave Sichuan alive, they shouted in the city, hoping to sit down with Li Ruoyu and discuss anything.
The compromise of Yan and Feng was exactly what Li Ruoyu wanted.
His troops were already exhausted to the extreme. Even if they were ferocious wolf soldiers, they were not made of iron.
Moreover, his military strength was indeed limited. The entire southwest had just been unified and was still unstable.
If they killed Yan Feng and his brother, their territory would be immediately divided up by Zhang Hanqing and Old Jiang, which would be very disadvantageous to Li Ruoyu.
The best way was to sit down and negotiate.
Letting these two go back could continue to balance the warlords. This way, Li Ruoyu could be at ease to consolidate the southwest provinces and truly consolidate his strength.
However, he was not in a hurry to negotiate.
Before his main force arrived, he wanted to keep Yanfeng's army in a state of panic. This way, he could increase their psychological pressure and also not expose his weakness.
A day passed quickly. Under the immense pressure, Yan Xishan even personally went up to the city wall and shouted, hoping that Li Ruoyu would be rational and sit down to talk.
Li Ruoyu was too lazy to pay attention to them. He let Yu Xiaoqing's 1st brigade replace Long Wenzhang's 2nd brigade and continued to run around Wanxian County. He also let the tanks bombard Wanxian County. Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang were so anxious that they ran around the city.
At night, Liao Lei's 32nd division and Li Benyi's 1st division arrived.
Li Ruoyu immediately ordered them to surround the entire Wan County. Two hundred cannons were aimed in the direction of the enemy's escape.
After everything was ready, Li Ruoyu sent someone to inform Yan and Feng that he agreed to negotiate.
Early the next morning, Yan and Feng arrived outside the city, feeling both nervous and excited. Li Ruoyu had already set up a table between the two armies and only brought a few followers with him.
Yan and Feng didn't dare to bring too many people. They each brought four guards over.
"Brother Li, nice to meet you!”Yan Laoxi greeted Li Ruoyu as if nothing had happened.
Feng Yuxiang was a straightforward man. At this moment, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.
Li Ruoyu glanced at the two of them coldly." You two are my seniors. You've been in the martial arts world for longer than I've been leading troops." I won't waste any more time talking to you. Since we're negotiating, let's talk!”
Yan and Feng sat down quickly. Yan Laoxi said,""Brother Li, there must be a misunderstanding between us."
"Yes, yes, yes. We were all instigated by others, so we came to fight in a moment of confusion. Brother Li, don't misunderstand us. We really treat you as a brother!”Feng Yuxiang hurriedly said.
Li Ruoyu looked at the two of them who were eager to get away with it. He knew that the two of them had already deeply believed that they were surrounded. Otherwise, they would not be so humble.
Li Ruoyu smiled coldly." I don't care why you're here. A fight is a fight." I lost so many brothers, how should I settle this debt? You won't go over just because you said a few words, right?”
Feng Yuxiang immediately said,"We'll compensate you!"”
Yan Laoxi's eyes twitched when he heard that.
He would definitely be the one to pay the compensation. The Northwest was so poor that Old Feng couldn't afford it.
Now that the two of them were in the same boat, they would definitely have to pay for the compensation themselves. Yan Laoxi gritted his teeth and thought that Old Feng was taking revenge. He was waiting for him.
Li Ruoyu nodded." It just so happens that I'm short of money too. How much do you want to pay?"”
Before Yan Laoxi could say anything, Feng Yuxiang immediately asked," Is 50 million enough? If it's not enough, we can still make up for it!”
Yan Laoxi wished he could beat Feng Yuxiang to death. Fifty million was almost equivalent to Shanxi's annual income. Feelings are not your money, so why do you have to force me!
Li Ruoyu nodded in satisfaction." It's rare for you to be so sensible. Then, 60 million. Pay me back and I'll let you go!" If you don't pay, look around!”
Yan and Feng immediately looked around and saw tanks surrounding Wan County like steel behemoths. Their cold muzzles were aimed at Wan County.
"My subordinates love to fight!" "If you don't compensate them, they don't mind using your lives to pay for it!" Li Ruoyu said casually.”
Yan Laoxi swallowed hard. Although money was important, his life was also important.
If he didn't go back now, who knew what would happen in Shanxi?
"Quickly nod your head!" Feng Yuxiang urged.
Yan Laoxi glared at him angrily and then shouted at Li Ruoyu,""Alright, 60 million. I'll definitely deliver it within three days!"
In Nanjing, when Old Jiang saw the battle report from the front line, he was so shocked that his jaw almost hit the ground.
"The four southwestern provinces have all been occupied, and even Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang have been defeated?”Old Jiang looked at Chen Cheng in disbelief.
"I don't believe it either, but it's the truth!" Chen Cheng nodded helplessly.”
"Mother Xi Pi!" Old Jiang sat down on the chair and said, I really underestimated Li Ruoyu! This kid's ability is not only the number one valiant general of the Gui Army, but also the number one valiant general of China.”
His eyes were filled with deep worry."I seem to have done something terribly wrong. I really shouldn't have compromised with him like that. Raising a tiger is a disaster!”
