Three days later, Lin Taipu cooperated with Xiao Ruxun, the defender of Hepinglu Fort, to ambush the Litu tribe of captives and defeat them. They killed Kuaibai's adopted son Kuaiyun and captured no one but no livestock.

General Da Shen was so mesmerized, how could it be so easy to follow Lin Tailai and achieve great victory? Is fighting so easy?

After the victory at Pinglu Fort, Lin Tailai led his troops to leave in a hurry, detouring outside the border wall again and returning to Huamachi.

Here, Supervisor Lin met Governor Ye Mengxiong.

At this time, the army transferred from other towns by the imperial court had not yet arrived, and Governor Ye was still hesitating between attacking and defending, undecided.

Supervisor Lin strongly advocated using existing troops to immediately start a counterattack.

After all, the sooner the war ends, the less damage and losses will be caused.

Supervisor Lin advised Governor Ye: "The rebels seem to be very powerful at the moment, but in fact their offensive has reached its end!

The most powerful men under Kuai Bai and his son are actually only a few thousand private soldiers.

Although the rebels occupied the Forty-seventh Fort in Hexi, they actually did not have that many reliable troops to guard it.

Many defenders just happened suddenly and were caught off guard and found it difficult to resist.

Moreover, they still had a sense of luck in their hearts, thinking that if they were treated as a mutiny and appeased, then they would be fine.

Therefore, the people on the rebel side are not submissive, and as soon as the army arrives, everyone will rebel again."

One advantage of Governor Ye is that he listens to advice better than Governor Zheng.

So Governor Ye personally took charge of the crucial Huamachi, and ordered the supervisor Lin Tailai and Guyuan Town's deputy general Li Yu to station in Lingzhou, Hedong.

In addition, he ordered guerrilla general Zhao Wu to lead a partial division to contain the rebels in the southwest and prevent the rebels from continuing southward.

After the rebels captured Hexi, they rested for a while and then attacked Hedong. Lingzhou City was the first to bear the brunt.

Kuaibai's dream is to imitate Li Yuanhao's old story in Xixia, so he must establish territory in Hedong.

In mid-March, outside Lingzhou City, Lin Tailai and Li Yu defeated the rebels led by Kuai Chengen and achieved a great victory in Lingzhou.

Da Shen who participated in the war will be intoxicated again. Can a great victory be the same as eating and drinking?

Lin Tailai and Li Yan then led their troops to advance and counterattack to Hexi.

After the headwind situation appeared, the rebel coach Kuai Bai could not sit still in Ningxia Town and personally led his army to attack Yuquan City occupied by Zhao Wu.

Thinking of defeating the weaker southwestern division Zhao Wu first, and then going back to fight Lin Tailai and Li Yu.

However, Zhao Wu also held on in Yuquan City, leaving Kuai Bai in a dilemma.

At the end of March, Lin Tailai and Li Yan led their troops to Yuquan in time, and defeated the rebels in a flanking attack.

After the great victory in Yuquan, Kuai Bai fled back to Ningxia Town and could not escape.

Da Shen will be mesmerized. From Xining to Gansu and then to Ningxia, what is the experience of five major victories in half a year?

No wonder Taipu Lin said when he was in Xining that if he was promoted based on military merit, he would not be promoted even to the chief assistant!

But Lin Tailai could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After running around for hundreds of miles for a month, he finally achieved all the great victories in the early stage.

No, it successfully accelerated the victory process and reduced the trauma of war.

From then on, the rebels completely lost their offensive capabilities, and the government troops easily recaptured the Forty-seven Forts in Hexi except Ningxia Town.

At this point, the first phase of the Wanli Ningxia War has basically ended, nearly a month earlier than the original history. This is Lin Tailai's contribution.

Ningxia Zhencheng, also known as Yinchuan in later generations, is a majestic city in the northwest today with tall and solid walls.

Although the Kuaibai rebels lost their offensive capabilities, they huddled up and were able to muster 20,000 troops to defend, and there were also cavalry wandering outside to support them.

With the existing officers and soldiers participating in the war, they really do not have the ability to attack Ningxia City, not even to besiege it.

If you don't have several times the strength of the defenders, don't even think about attacking the city.

Moreover, the war has started too fast, and now the government and army are almost unable to provide food and grass.

Therefore, for the time being, we can only wait for the troops from other towns mobilized by the imperial court to come to support us before we can proceed to the next stage of the siege battle.

It is reported that the imperial court has appointed Ma Gui to lead the Datong Town troops, Li Rusong to lead the Xuanfu Town troops, and Dong Yikui to lead the Yansui Town troops to Ningxia for support.

At this time, Governor Ye could finally feel relieved.

At least the situation was brought back as quickly as possible, and I have lived up to the great trust of the imperial court. I believe His Majesty the Emperor will be very pleased!

While resting and preparing for the war, Governor Ye compiled the first phase battle report and sent it to the court.

The great victory at Pinglubao on the northern line, Lin Tailai, Xiao Ruxun and Dayun;

The great victory in Lingzhou on the southeastern line, Lin Tailai, Li Yu and Dayun;

The great victory of Yuquan on the southwest line, Lin Tailai and Li Yu, Zhao Wu and Dayun.

After reading the battle report, the emperor and courtiers slowly raised a question mark in their hearts.

Who is commanding the battle in Ningxia? Why is Lin Tailai everywhere?

Is Governor Ye Mengxiong’s task just to write battle reports?
