Gao Shishi received a message from Huang Zhiting on the 21st day of the first lunar month, telling him that Langshan had conquered and asked him to consider whether to push the headquarters forward to Langshan at his discretion.

At that time, Gao Shishi was still a little hesitant, not because he was afraid that Langshan would not be safe, but because he had no soldiers - he only had Gao Zhang's 300 families around him, and he didn't want to mobilize the officers and troops, so the words of going south to Langshan seemed a bit "strong and weak".

Gao Zhang was bitten by a scrub worm last time, and he recuperated for half a month after being poisoned, so he did not go on an expedition with Gao Heng, but stayed by Gao Shishi's side. He felt that it didn't matter if he went to Langshan, because even from his point of view, he felt that Huang Zhiting could not have any disrespectful behavior towards Gao Pragmatic.

In fact, there is no need for him to say this, Gao Pragmatic himself knows that he just doesn't want to be strong and weak. However, after two days of delay, Gao Pragmatic felt that he had to move forward, because Cen Ling also came with news that Gaoping had been occupied, and that Gaoping's Mo army had been defeated, and it was expected that Tonghua would be captured in three days.

According to Cen Ling's plan, after he took Tonghua, he would not immediately go south to take Taiyuan, but first go southwest to take Xuanguang.

This idea is understandable to be pragmatic, and this advance plan is equivalent to a right hook, squeezing the Mo army in the northwest direction to Taiyuan or even Shenglong.

That is to say, after Cen Ling considered squeezing the Mo army to Taiyuan or Shenglong, he and Huang Zhiting, even including Gao Jue, surrounded the main force of the Mo army in the north, and then wiped it out in one fell swoop.

He is very bold and courageous. But Gao pragmatic likes it very much.

Now the Mo army in the north should not be the elite of the Mo army, and it is a good plan to wipe it out in one fell swoop and then wait for the main force of the Mo army to return from the south to help. Otherwise, the north has not yet been cleared, and the main force of the Mozambican army in the south has rushed back, not that it must not be able to fight, but it must be more troublesome.

In particular, Gao Pragmatic has always been worried about turning Annan into a rotten land full of rebels, after all, "General Lin Dengwan" is not a joke, and Gao Pragmatic had a headache when he saw such a name.

Before, only Lang Son had completed the breakthrough, and Gao Pragmatic could still stay in Siming Prefecture to wait and see the situation, but now that Gao Ping has also conquered, there is nothing to say about the forward movement of the headquarters.

With 300 Jiading, he joined the first batch of 2,000 reinforcements from the Huang family, and Gao Shishi arrived at Langshan through Zhennan Pass.

However, at this time, Huang Zhiting left - when she sent the news to Gao Shishi, she had already led the army to fight Changqing Mansion.

Since all the troops of Changqing Province were lost in the Battle of Lang Son, Huang Zhiting's battle to capture Changqing was much smoother, to be exact...... There was no fighting. Changqing's soldiers "transferred" to Jingbei Mansion after receiving the news that the Ming army was moving south, and Huang Zhiting directly took Changqing.

And Cen Ling's second battle report was also sent, he said two things, one is that Tonghua has been successfully won, and the other is that on the way to Xuanguang, he has learned the news that Xuanguang originally had more than 20,000 troops, but now he directly abandoned Xuanguang and went to Taiyuan.

Cen Ling proposed that after he took Xuanguang, he would go east to Taiyuan after a day of rest, and asked Gao Pragmatic to order Huang Zhiting's troops to cooperate with the westward advance and besiege Taiyuan with him - he thought that if he took Taiyuan, the northern part of Annan would no longer have the power to resist, and then he would be able to ascend to Longcheng with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.

Gao pragmatically thought about it for less than half a pillar of incense, and then decided to continue southward and go directly to Changqing Mansion to meet Huang Zhiting.

Judging from the current battle situation, except for the battle of Langshan, the Mozambican army of Annam still showed due tenacity, and the rest of the battles were all devastating, and the Mozambican army either failed after a little resistance, or simply fled, and did not have the courage to fight with it at all.

Although Gao Pragmatic people are not on the front line, I can't figure out whether this is because the Mo army is too weak or the wolf soldiers are too strong, or just because Mo Chaonan has drawn out all the elite soldiers and strong generals, but in one sentence: it is impossible to stop the Cen and Huang coalition forces in North Annan now.

If there is any resistance, it is only Taiyuan.

But if you fight Taiyuan, Gao Pragmatic must go, otherwise Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling will have similar status, and the strength in their hands will be different, who will have the final say at that time?

Gao pragmatic didn't want the two armies that could have exerted ten percent of their combat power to fail the battle, so he couldn't grind anymore now, and he had to go directly to the front line to personally command - personal command may not be able to talk about it, but he must personally make decisions and give orders.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, Gao pragmatic arrived in Changqing. Huang Zhiting led Guinan Tusi and generals out of the city to greet him.

When he arrived in the city, Huang Zhiting first reported the results of the battle, and in the battle of Langshan, the Eastern Route Army won a total of 3,427 ranks of the Annan Army, captured 5,439 people, and estimated that 3,400 or 4,000 people would escape.

There are two main directions for its escape, one is to flee in the direction of Gyeongbuk and Thang Long, and the other is to flee in the direction of Haelong in Ampang. That is to say, all the way to the southwest, all the way to the southeast.

Gao Shi originally came here with a reward of silver, of which the first level was five taels of silver, a total of 17,135 taels of silver; One captive was worth two taels of silver, a total of 10,878 taels of silver.

At the same time, in view of the fact that there will be no reward from the imperial court for the merits of each toast this time, he also directly rewarded the silver, but he did not ask about the specific distribution of the reward, and only directly took the reward of 20,000 taels of silver to Huang Zhiting, and she would judge the distribution of the merit and report it to herself for approval.

This is obviously to continue to improve Huang Zhiting's prestige, of course Huang Zhiting will not refuse, and no one in the toasts has questioned this decision - the toasts are not stupid, now it is obvious that Gao Zhitai's trust in Miss Huang is clear, who is willing to jump out and sing blackface?

Besides, looking at it now, it seems that there is still some unusual friendship between the two of them, reminiscent of the two of them who used to walk alone for thousands of miles before...... These Guinan toasts were originally mixed with Siming Mansion, and now they have to worry that Miss Huang will suddenly become Mrs. Taitai at some point, which will be even more offensive.

After settling the issue of rewarding silver, Cen Ling's report on the battle situation came again, saying that his troops would set off to march east on February 23, and asked Huang Zhiting's troops to go west to meet him immediately after receiving the news, and besiege Taiyuan.

Well, he didn't know that Gao Pragmatic had arrived in Changqing.

Gao pragmatic is not hypocritical, after asking Huang Zhiting's meaning, she also thinks that it is feasible to encircle Taiyuan, maybe Taiyuan is lost, and the Shenglong side may lose confidence in resisting.

So he left 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the back road of Changqing Mansion, and the army continued to march towards Taiyuan.

Before arriving in Taiyuan, more unexpected news came, this time the news came from Thang Long City by Gao Jue, Gao Jue sent by the Gao family Ding excitedly said to Gao Shishi: Mo Mao Qia Kaicheng welcomed Gao Tuanzuo into Thang Long City, and announced in public that the Great Tomorrow soldiers were coming, not to punish the Mo family, but to help the Mo family sweep away the Li rebel Zheng thief!

Mo Maoqia even said that the "subordinate army of the Annam Metropolitan Commandery" and himself would be under the direct command of the Guangxi Governor, and that he was "eagerly looking forward to Gao Gong's visit to Thang Long to command the overall situation."

Gao was stunned, and Huang Zhiting opened her eyes wide, as if she suspected that her ears were broken.

Mo Maoqia: This is ...... Surrendered?

Huang Zhiting whispered in Gao Shishi's ear: "Guess what I thought of? Remind you, it's an idiom. ”

"Uh......" Gao pragmatically said tentatively: "Oak Yang Yujin? ”

Huang Zhiting was stunned for a moment and complained: "What, I haven't heard of this." ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "Okay, what do you think of?" ”

Huang Zhiting said seriously: "Recognize the thief as a father!" ”

The smile on Gao Shishi's face suddenly froze, and he looked helplessly at Miss Huang, who was snickering.
