Chapter 579: The Great Army Conquers the Barbarians

I don't want others to interfere in my business. The brown-clothed masked man said coldly.

"I don't want to do much," Yang Muyun glanced at him lightly and said, "I'm just afraid that the time will drag on and I am afraid of accidents, you know, if there is any mistake, who will be the most dangerous person." ”

The brown-clad masked man glared at him fiercely, and disappeared into the night.

At this time, Zheng Yu ran over, looked at the direction where the brown-clothed masked man had disappeared, and turned to Yang Muyun, "Who is that person?" ”

"I don't know." Yang Muyun was thoughtful.

"Don't know?" Zheng Yu's eyes flickered, "You guys look familiar." How could it not be known? ”

"If you know each other well, you don't necessarily have to know who the other person is." Yang Muyun said indifferently.

He ...... Is it my daddy's person? Zheng Yu asked in a low voice.

Yang Muyun's gaze swept towards her, "Miss, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth." "Turn around and walk away quickly.

"Hey," Zheng Yu shouted, "don't you go......"

It was finally dawn, and it was a coincidence that the rain had gradually stopped after a day and a night.

The chaos in the Annan military camp also stopped, and all the soldiers were surprised to find that the commander Zheng Ke, who had fallen ill yesterday, had miraculously recovered, while Ruan Zhi, who had exercised military power on his behalf, was nowhere to be found.

Zheng Ke assigned the generals in the battalion to restrain his subordinates, collect the dead, and treat the wounded. There were not many dead and wounded soldiers in the camp, and some dead bodies of barbarians who attacked the camp were found. But all the palace guards brought by Ruan Zhi were killed, and the corpses were lined up outside Ruan Zhi's tent. The generals looked nervous. Zheng Ke calmly assigned them to take people to search outside the camp.

After the rain stopped, the level of the Xinping River also dropped a lot, and the Annan soldiers would search around in several ways, one of which went downstream along the river. After a short time, they found Ruan's body lying lying on the riverside, and there were several dead bodies not far away. Ruan Zhi still held a knife in his hand, and his body was scarred, as if he had died after a struggle.

The general who led the team did not dare to move the corpse, and hurriedly sent someone back to the camp to report, Zheng Ke soon came, and after seeing Ruan's corpse, he was furious and vowed to avenge Ruan Zhi. Seeing Ruan only die strangely outside the camp, although some generals were suspicious, they couldn't say anything.

After Zheng Ke returned to the barracks, he immediately summoned the generals in the big tent, and he didn't say much, so that all the generals led the whole team out of the camp within an hour and marched towards the upper reaches of the Xinping River.

The 80,000 Annan army marched mightily towards the upper reaches of the Xinping River, all the way with great momentum.

Zheng Zhao remained in the camp due to his injuries. Yang Muyun and Zheng Yu accompanied Zheng Ke and went out with the army.

Looking at the boundless and mighty army in front and back, Zheng Yu glanced at Yang Muyun proudly and asked, "How is my Dayue army compared to the Ming army?" ”

Yang Muyun smiled slightly and did not speak.

"If you don't say it, you're not as big as me." Zheng Yu's masked face lifted upward.

"Your words remind me of an interesting story that happened more than a thousand years ago." Yang Muyun said with a smile.

"What's the story?"

Yoro is arrogant. Yang Muyun said word by word.

"You ......," Zheng Yu glared at him fiercely. Most of Annan's classics come from the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Yu knows many allusions.

"Daddy," she asked her father unconvinced, "you have fought with the Ming people, and you must know very well what the Ming people's army is, they are no match for us, are they?" Otherwise, why would we be driven back? ”

"But after all, they have been entrenched in us for twenty years," Zheng Ke's face was solemn when he mentioned the past, "The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is still very strong, and sometimes they are surrounded and fight to the death until the last soldier." It's my strongest opponent in Dayue. The Zhan people, the Mang, and the barbarians are far from being compared with them. ”

"Really?" Zheng Yu glanced at Yang Muyun, and then asked his father: "You talk about the Ming people so well, then how did I defeat them." ”

"Our Dayue victory lies in the people's hearts," Zheng Ke said: "When the people of Dayue are on our side, the Ming army no longer has a chance of winning." ”

"Hmm......" Zheng Yu didn't seem to understand.

"Yu'er, you don't know," Zheng Ke continued: "Daming is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, with a vast territory and a large population, and its war mobilization ability is beyond the reach of my Dayue. ”

"What Hou Ye said is thought-provoking," Yang Muyun praised: "I have been taught in the next place." ”

"Where, Yang Gongzi is very knowledgeable, Ben Hou is very admired," Zheng Ke said with a smile: "Ben Hou also sincerely hopes that Da Ming can reconcile with my Da Yue, and never make a big deal about it again!" ”

"If the King of Annan and the Marquis are as well aware of the righteousness as they are, and they abide by the courtesy, then my Emperor Ming will definitely send an edict to repair ......" Before Yang Muyun finished speaking, he heard Zheng Yu snort softly.

"The king is a little too weak to the Ming Dynasty," Zheng Yu said dissatisfiedly: "He has repeatedly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to ask the Ming Emperor to issue a decree to crown the king." According to me, even if the Ming Emperor is not sealed, isn't the king also the king of my Dayue? Why did you send someone to Daming to ask for advice? ”

"You don't understand this girl," Zheng Ke shook his head, "The king did this in order to take the initiative to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, and if he can get the official canonization of the Ming Emperor, it will be the Celestial Empire's recognition of my Dayue, so that the Ming Emperor's intention to conquer my Dayue will be extinguished forever." ”

"Oh......" Zheng Yu nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Master Hou," Yang Muyun asked quietly, "Is it appropriate for you to make such a big deal about the conquest of the pot?" ”

"I just want them to know," Zheng Ke looked ahead with a proud gaze, "what my soldiers are pointing at, they will attack everything." They have no way out but to surrender. ”

————————————

The army of Annam marched westward, all the way green hills, strange rocks, gurgling water under the feet, and the scenery was very beautiful. However, the officers and men were like a great enemy, and they did not care about appreciating them at all.

At the forefront is the Yi'an Dao Army led by Tao Fangjin, Tao Fangjin is the son of Tao Gongxu, the famous general of Annan, who served as the governor of the rear army and commanded the Yi'an Dao Army. When the city was conquered, the Yi'an Dao army led by him did not fight any hard battles, but this time, Zheng Ke sent him to the front.

Along the way, he was apprehensive

Hey, when Ruan only took Zheng Ke's military power, he was very close to Ruan only for a while, and it was the Yi'an Dao army under his command that clashed with Zheng Zhao's Tietu army. After this incident, Ruan only trusted him very much, and last night at the most critical moment of Ruan Zhi, Pei Duwei first thought that Tao Dudu could protect this Ruan Marquis, so that his subordinates hurriedly sent Ruan only to Tao Fangjin's camp, but who knew that he was intercepted by Yang Muyun.

Ruan died alone, and Tao Dudu was the most nervous, not knowing how Zheng Ke, who had returned to military power, would treat him. Sure enough, Zheng Ke used Zheng Zhao to recuperate from his injury and let him lead the Yi'an Daojun to play the forward.

The officers and soldiers of the Yi'an Dao Army all held large rattan plaques nearly one person high in both hands, and walked forward cautiously, there was no road in front of them, only a wild grass lodging, as if it had been stepped on, at most two people were allowed to pass side by side, and the army would be vulnerable to such a formation, Tao Fangjin frowned tightly, and ordered the team to stop advancing.

Tao Fangjin carefully looked at the surrounding terrain with his eyes, the Xinping River gradually narrowed here, winding up, although the river is also overgrown with weeds on both sides, shrubs and horizontal trees, but the comparison is wider, what is more rare is to travel in the shallow river water, you can avoid the endless pits, bamboo nails, lassoes, tripping bamboo guns, thorns and other obstacles in the jungle rocks, those difficult to find, headache small organs can not only seriously hinder the itinerary of the army, but also allow soldiers to reduce morale due to a large number of killings.

Tao Fangjin immediately ordered the army to move downwards and trace its source up the river.

The width of the Xinping River here does not exceed the ordinary stream, the depth of the water is not more than the knee, the width can be rowed a bamboo raft, although it twists and turns, from time to time there are slippery boulders that are washed by the water flow to block the way, and the speed of the army is much faster than on it.

The Cunpen barbarians are fierce and good at fighting, for hundreds of years have been fighting with the Annan people, Annan Chen Dynasty Xianzong period of the large-scale expedition to the west, subdued many tribes, including the Cunpen barbarians, Chen Xianzong was proud, let people carve a "Mourning Prison Ji Gong Mo Cliff" on a stone cliff in the upper reaches of the Xinping River.

Yang Muyun stopped at the foot of the cliff for a long time when he passed by, and was amazed by the strong regular script engraved on it. The Annan dynasties used Chinese characters, and Yang Muyun naturally watched them with relish.

As soon as the army of Annam came, the Cunpen barbarians surrendered on their knees, but as soon as the army withdrew, they reverted to their old ways and continued to attack the villages, counties and towns of the Yue people. Cunpen Man is good at arranging mechanisms between mountains, rocks, grass and trees, this Tao Fangjin knows, but he also knows that the barbarians will never let go of setting traps in the river, so he ordered the soldiers below to be on full alert, in the air, in the dense mountains and forests on both sides, and even the pebbles underwater, for fear that something will suddenly burst out of it.

When the spies in front of him reported that there was no danger, he was relieved to let the team move on.

"How could the Cunpen Barbarians be stupid enough to attack our army's camp?" Tao Fangjin was puzzled along the way, "Are they all impatient?" "What's especially strange is that there weren't many casualties among the other sergeants, and Ruan Wei and the dozens of palace guards around his camp all died cleanly, leaving not a single living mouth, as if this group of barbarians had come specifically to find Ruan Zhiqi.

"Could it be ......" He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and only prayed silently, hoping that when the Cunpen Man saw the Annan army coming, he would abandon his sword and gun and surrender, so that he could avoid a disaster of swords and soldiers.

His expression was in a trance, and suddenly the branches in front of him shook violently, and a strange howl sounded, and the soldiers who were caught off guard screamed and fell.
