Inside the Imperial City of Jinling City.

The Shangshutai Yamen is also the only one among the vast majority of Nanli yamen that set up the Yamen in the imperial city.

However, if you set up a yamen in the imperial city, it will inevitably lead to some sarcasm.

Especially the Shangshutai yamen, if it is a talented Shangshutai yamen, even if it is in the imperial city, it can still gain a foothold.

However, just what Ren Shangshuling said now is almost meaningful. This Ren Shangshuling was originally from the imperial examination and was highly expected by Emperor Li. When he had not joined the Shangshutai, he still had some talent.

However, since he entered the Shangshutai, somehow, a talented young man has become as timid as a mouse, making frequent mistakes in front of Li Di. Even some trivial matters and low-level mistakes that no one can imagine can happen several times every day in this person's hands.

Therefore, since the Shangshutai Yamen became the chief official, the Shangshuling, who had a reputation as a young prime minister, now can only run back and forth, and even dare not speak out in front of everyone.

The officials in the Shangshutai Yamen were usually because of the chief officials, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground when they met other colleagues.

Most of the officials at the Shangshu Desk are composed of young people, mainly fresh blood, and rarely have some older faces.

After all, even the Shangshu Ling is just a blue official robe. She is so old. How many people who have been in the officialdom for many years will come to Shangshu Ling?

Li Yifu is an exception.

When he was twenty-one, Li Yifu won the top scorer in the imperial examination in Nanli that year. He was unparalleled for a while and attracted the envy of many scholars.

With these people's envious and admiring eyes, Li Yifu joined the disciples of Emperor Li without hesitation, because it happened that the last round of his imperial examination was presided over by Emperor Li himself.

Therefore, Emperor Li is also considered a master of Li Yi Mansion. This causal relationship was inevitably hit by the fresh blood of the Li Emperor's sect after the imperial examination in Li Yi Mansion.

As for these rumors, Li Yifu laughed and invited him to the palace. After paying homage to Emperor Li, the edict of Emperor Li the next day came down.

Li Yifu, the new top student in the subject, was appointed as the governor of Jiangxia County.

The magistrate of a county, this official position is already a good treatment for the new top scholar, especially as the magistrate of Jiangxia County. As the northern gate of Nanli, Emperor Li actually felt relieved and handed him over to a newcomer to govern and serve as the magistrate.

After the edict was released, many people were puzzled by the treatment of Li Yifu.

Although the position of county magistrate is good, as the top scholar in the imperial examination in this class, Li Yifu can clearly join the Sixth Ministry. Even if he starts from the grassroots level of the Sixth Ministry, he will eventually stay in Jinling. Now he is suddenly released from Jiangxia. Many people think this is a stumbling block to Li Yifu.

In the second year after Li Yi's mansion took office, the Central Plains countries formed a coalition force, uniting the Northern Empire, the Beigen Kingdom and the Xikun Dynasty, and launched a mighty offensive against Nanli.

As the county magistrate of Jiangxia County, Beidamen, Li Yifu naturally led the way and ordered the civilians to strengthen the city defense and dig trenches overnight. He also immediately sent a letter of help to the camp of a Nanli Main Battle Corps nearest to Jiangxia County.

The letter of help was of course sent to Jinling.

However, at that time, Jinling was at the critical moment of alternating imperial power. Several princes, such as the current King of Nanyue, only had the throne that was only one step away from him. As for Li Yifu's letter of help?

Shi Shen Da Haier.

When Feng Buping and Zhou Dunyi asked for the order of the late emperor and asked the eldest prince Li Dunmin to ascend the throne, the letter of help buried in the Shangshu Desk of Li Yi's mansion was found again.

But at that time, more than half a month had passed since Li Yifu sent a letter of help to Jinling.

Jiangxia had only more than 6,000 permanent troops at that time, and as for the garrisons in other border counties, there were very few. Even if the main combat legion rushed in time, it would be a drop in the bucket in the face of the huge number of military forces of millions of coalition forces.

At the beginning of the war, the territory of Nanli was full of war and fell everywhere. The Central Plains coalition forces rushed to Jiangxia City without much effort.

The main battle legion was also due to the strange orders from Jinling and the wrong judgment of its military leader, and the speculation that the Central Plains coalition would enter Nanli from different routes in batches, resulting in the Nanli Main Battle Legion, which had a population of 9,000, being destroyed on the front line.

This is also the only main battle legion in Nanli that was completely wiped out in modern times. Even the number was lost in the war and became a victim of the battle for imperial power in the rear.

After the Central Plains coalition destroyed Nanli's main battle corps, its momentum increased sharply. For a moment, counties and cities across the border of Nanli were surrendered. Jiangxia County was left with only an isolated city in the county Jiangxia City, supporting the last pass of Nanli.

After taking down Jiangxia County, the Central Plains coalition could invade the hinterland of Nanli and take all the wealth and population of Nanli for their own possession.

Even when Li Yifu learned about the war on the front line, he did not immediately lose his courage. Li Yifu quickly calmed down, and continued to urge the reinforcement of the city defense, while constantly gathering the scattered soldiers retreating from the front line.

Finally, when the Central Plains coalition forces arrived at the city of Jiangxia, Li Yi's mansion had almost 8,000 available soldiers on hand.

Coupled with a collection letter from Li Yi Mansion, thousands of young and strong people in Jiangxia City joined the army.

It barely forced the garrison of Jiangxia City to reach a defender of ten thousand people.

There are many defenders with ten thousand people. Even in Jiangxia City, which has a vast and strong city, there are still quite a lot of defenders with ten thousand people.

But it depends on who the opponent is.

How insignificant it is for millions of Central Plains coalition troops to barely reach 10,000 troops in the face of such a number.

Not only were the people from the Central Plains coalition sneering at Li Yi's overestimation, but even many generals and schoolmen in Jiangxia City thought that this battle was a death-death battle, and even if they fought to the death, they didn't know how many days they could defend.

It is very difficult, even if the Central Plains coalition forces exchange ten for one, Jiangxia City cannot accept it.

However, the Central Plains coalition accepted the number of countries that made them not care about the sacrifice of soldiers at all. Moreover, the troops that conquer cities and lands belonged to some countries with weak Chinese strength in the Central Plains countries. In those Central Plains countries such as Zhao, Wei and Han, the soldiers of their countries would only be dispatched when they were about to pick the fruits.

However, such an approach will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some Central Plains countries in the coalition, but due to the opposition

With Fang Guo’s strength, everyone can only hold back for a while and swallow their anger. Even if they are here, when they return to the Central Plains, the other party can send a large army to attack their country.

The strength of national strength determines their right to speak in the coalition forces.

However, even such a dispute-filled coalition force could still defeat the Nanli border in the early stages of the war. After seven or eight days of war, it could reach the city of Jiangxia.

In the vast north, the state of North Jingzhou in Nanli, in eight days, the entire state of Jiangxia City was only left in Nanli.

Only fight to the death.

When Li Yifu stood on the city gate facing the millions of Central Plains coalition forces that were spread out at a glance, he spoke these four words with a smile in his free and easy tone.

A ten thousand defenders created a miracle that shocked the top leaders of Nanli in the hands of a top governor of Li Yifu.

It blocked the offensive of millions of coalition forces in the Central Plains for thirteen days.

For thirteen days, every day the Central Plains coalition seemed to be desperate, using the lives of soldiers to accumulate the lives of soldiers in Nanli in Jiangxia City.

Ten lives exchange for one life?

No, in the last few days, the guys from the Central Plains Alliance looked at Li Yifu's still standing on the Jiangxia city gate, and they really wanted to eat his flesh and soak his bones.

They are even willing to exchange twenty lives for one.

On the first day of the battle, the Nanli soldiers of Jiangxia were attacked by a coalition forces that were still imposing, because there were more than a thousand soldiers who retreated from the front line in the army.

An atmosphere of fear spread to the defenders. On the first day, Jiang Xia almost lost the control of the city gate. In the end, Li Yifu took the iron sword in his hand and killed the enemy. He forced the morale of the sluggish Nan Li to dissipate, and he paid nearly a thousand people to kill and three thousand people injured, and survived the first day.

This is only the first day.

The first day's offensive had already caused Jiangxia City to lose one tenth of its soldiers and even more than one fifth of its combat power.

But what about the Central Plains coalition?

Yes, they killed many enemies, but whenever some Nanli soldiers on the city gate looked at the millions of coalition troops that were still like dark clouds, they could not raise the courage.

There are too many numbers, that's it, no matter how many people kill it, it can't be killed.

The next day, the defense line outside Jiangxia City had been completely broken through, and the trench was filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides.

The trench half deep was filled with the corpses of soldiers.

As night fell the next day, the attack of the Central Plains coalition forces retreated. When Li Yifu checked the number of soldiers, he looked at the tilted corpses and bloodstains on the city gate.

The perseverance in the eyes of this top scholar, after seeing such a tragic scene, was like the blood stains of the Shura field, which made his eyes shake.

However, Li Yifu quickly put away such wavering.

He is now the supreme commander of Jiangxia City. The last hope of Nanli's north gate is in his hands. Not only the people in Jiangxia City, but also the millions of ordinary people in Nanli behind him. Their lives and deaths are all in one thought.

To defend to the death, only to fight to the death.

The death of 2,33 and the serious injuries of 900 people added another layer of fog that was difficult to dissipate in Jiangxia City.

After the war ended on the third day, Li Yifu was already injured. There was a huge hole on his left arm, and he just wrapped a layer of bandage and stopped doing anything.

He counted the alive defenders in Jiangxia City.

In just three days, the Jiangxia garrison, which had originally had tens of thousands of defenders, is now less than 4,000 warriors, and even these less than 4,000 defenders, each of them is more or less injured.

Those seriously injured people have become the point where they can't even hold weapons.

However, the coalition forces outside the city were still so bottomless.

After three days, there was no news of rescue from Jinling, and Li Yifu's mood had fallen to the bottom.

It was not that he had heard of the situation of Emperor Lao Li, he had already imagined the worst, but when he faced this situation, he was still a little unacceptable.

Watching the soldiers on the front line fight for the future of Nanli, the people in the rear are still fighting for the throne that seems meaningless to themselves now.

Dirty, these political competitions made Li Yifu feel disgusted with those big names for the first time.

After the end of the seventh day of the war, Jiangxia City was already in a shaky state.

There are less than a thousand warable people in the city.

This is the number of serious injuries after entering.

Li Yifu's face was not very good either. The injuries on his left arm had begun to purify, and there was a cut on his cheek. Looking at the Nanli soldiers who were unable to stand in front of him.

He no longer knew how he would deal with tomorrow's coalition offensive.

Closed his eyes, Li Yifu seemed to have accepted his fate.

He relied on ten thousand people to face the offensive of a million troops and held on for seven days, but was defeated by the big men in the rear who were only concerned about fighting for power.

It seems that I have become a victim of political power like the main war legion.

Ha, I don’t know if my chips are really worthless in the eyes of those big guys?
