On June 20, the capital of Anguo was finally overwhelmed by the heavy pressure of the Dongqing Division, and the head of the city held high the white flag and once again bowed to the Dayi Heavenly Empire. Subsequently, the monarch withdrew the 50,000 horses stationed in the territory of Dayi Guangxi.

The Guangxi army lost the help of Anguo, and in addition to the Donglan camp, its troops in Nadi, Guishun, Nandan and Ensi had been brutally suppressed by the Dayi Southwest Army, so their vitality was greatly damaged.

After several battles with the Donglan Army, the Dongchang Seven Men and Horses successfully blew up the arsenal of the Dongchang Army.

Min Rui carefully drilled the topographic map of Donglan, and asked the local Tujia people to inquire, and finally took Leng Qingtang's suggestion and forced all the remaining more than 40,000 troops into Donglan Tiandang Mountain.

The Dongqing Water Division and the Jinyi Guards of Leng Qingtang camped at the foot of the mountain.

The reason why Tiandang Mountain is named "Tiandang" is that it has the meaning of "blocking" and has its special topography characteristics.

This mountain is high and steep, and there are few birds and animals in the mountain, and there are many different wood miasma.

The ridge pass on the south side of Tiandang Mountain is high and steep, but the mountain road is wide, just for people and horses to enter and exit; In the north of the mountain, there is a curved bow-shaped sinkhole, which is bottomless and insurmountable to the world.

The army was forced into the mountains, lacking drinking water and food supplies, and could not survive for several days.

Leng Qingtang believes that since it is a mountain and there is only one entrance and exit, it is most wonderful to strictly guard this place and besiege the enemy.

Sure enough, two days later, the spies from Dongchang brought back news that the broken bones of horses could be seen everywhere on Tiandang Mountain.

Three days later, the news said that there were no horse bones on the mountain, and many people had died eating poisonous weeds.

Leng Qingtang knew that now that the army had eaten all the war horses and had no food, it was really at the edge of life and death.

Later, Leng Qingtang selected a number of eloquent people, took them into Tiandang Mountain, and instructed them to take turns to shout to the army.

Leng Qingtang wanted the leader of the army to know that the Wan clan, who had paid for the military salary, had deceived the monarch and had been beheaded all over the place, and now the emperor was open to the army, intending to recruit him as the regular army of the imperial court.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and on the eighth day of Leng Qingtang's entry into the mountain, the army sent someone out to see Leng Qingtang and submit a surrender to him. The female leader of the tribe, Mi Mucha, personally led the team out of Yingdong Factory and worshiped at the foot of Leng Qingtang.

In order to prevent fraud, Leng Qingtang only led Mrs. Yi and the five hundred troops down the mountain, and the rest stayed on the mountain to rest and wait for the food supplies from the Celestial Empire to be sent up the mountain.

From afar, he saw Min Rui leading the men and horses to line up in front of the Eastern Qing military camp, and there was a palpitating aura of slaughter around the camp.

Leng Qingtang knew it in his heart, and walked over step by step with his face as usual, and hugged his fist at Min Rui:

"Grandpa Guo, Mrs. Yi has accepted the invitation of the imperial court, and is willing to lead a team into Yunnan to fight against Boku and protect the land of the Heavenly Dynasty."

"Hmph," Min Rui smiled darkly, and the corners of his eyes were faintly hideous:

"I lost my arsenal, and I was hungry for more than ten days, and now I'm afraid it's a fake surrender!"

Leng Qingtang was full of patience and waved his hand:

"There are only five hundred troops coming down the mountain, and their leader is here, so Grandpa Guo doesn't have to worry."

"Mudcha? This is what the king is looking for! Come on, tie me up—"

Min Rui suddenly drew his sword, and his men rushed up, surrounding Mrs. Qi.

Leng Qingtang raised his eyebrows and shouted:

"Wait! What does this mean, Lord Wang? ”

"What do you mean?"

Min Rui's eyes narrowed, and his eagle-like sharp gaze swept over the man's indignant face, and he coldly threw himself at the frightened Junjun:

"The wild nature of the barbarian wolves is difficult to tame, I'm afraid that if we are full of food and drink for a while, they will swallow us back, so if you kill them all!"

Leng Qingtang twisted his eyebrows: "Zhao'an is the emperor's order, but the prince wants to resist the decree?!" ”

Hatred numbized Min Rui's heart, his scarlet eyes almost wanted to breathe fire, he looked at Leng Qingtang, and suddenly roared:

"You don't want to use the emperor to suppress this king! Yes, what if this king resists? Wan's persecution of Concubine Yu and the death of the emperor's heir, you want this king to accept the enemy's men, unless this king dies first! Come on, kill them all for me—"

Bloody when he landed.

The sound of wails drowning out the movement of metal piercing flesh, and the soldiers' spears were stained with blood.

Min Rui stood in the red light, sniffing the smell of death with his back slightly, and smiled with satisfaction.

He hates, hates the Wan family, and hates this group of soldiers who were raised by the Wan family!

At that time, Guiping received a letter from his daughter, and after hearing that the prince was gone, his heart was extremely painful.

The Wan family overturned overnight, and Min Rui then received a handwritten letter from Queen Qian, which mentioned that Wan Yuyao had bribed the maid of Jingyang Palace and killed her daughter, and then blamed Xu Niangniang of Chuxiu Palace.

This time he was ordered by the emperor to go on the expedition, and Min Rui rushed to avenge his daughter's hatred, and it was his duty to do so.

Now facing the army and their leader, Min Rui once again thought of the enemy Wan clan, and it would be difficult to let go of the hatred in his heart.

"Stop—"

Leng Qingtang roared and drew his saber, and at the same time, the Dongchang guards put up their weapons one after another.

The man raised his hand and rushed into the encirclement, protected him in front of him, and shouted:

"Shi Lei, carry the sword of Shang Fang!"

Shi Lei entered the camp tent in response, and soon came out with a three-foot long sword in his hand.

The sword was a gift from the Emperor, with a wrought gold dragon head on the hilt and 1,880 dragon scales carved on the scabbard, shining with scorching brilliance in the scorching sun.

Leng Qingtang knew that Empress Qian was deliberately trying to embarrass him by sending Dongchang to the south this time, so he asked Emperor Jingxiao for a token before leaving, so that he could be powerful in the military camp and deal with those mud-legged soldiers.

From Shi Lei's hand, Shang Fang's sword was revealed, and Leng Qingtang commanded:

"Min Rui resisted the decree and was disrespectful, and his eyes were unholy, so he took off his armor and tied it up left and right, and beheaded him at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Leng Qingtang, you dare-"

Min Rui roared wildly, turning his face and not convinced.

The three generals of Red, Green, and Purple under Min Rui drew their swords almost at the same moment, ready to fight for their commander.

Leng Qingtang's face was gloomy, and he raised his golden sword high and looked at both sides:

"This governor was ordered to be the prison army, and he held the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, and he saw who dared to move-"

There was silence for a while, and the scene was deadlocked.

Leng Qingtang raised his sword and walked in front of Min Rui, and said righteously:

"Shang Fang's sword is like a saint coming in person, you disobey the emperor's order and kill the generals indiscriminately, do you say that you are a bully, should you not behead?"

Min Rui frowned and slowly closed his eyes, and threw away his weapon with a painful expression.

Leng Qingtang signaled to Bai Qiying, the head of the fourth block, and Shi Lei, the head of the seventh block, and the two of them were ordered to step forward to take off Min Rui's battle helmet and armor, and tied them to the pillar in front of the camp tent with only their middle clothes.

The generals of the three armies of the Eastern Qing Dynasty all knelt down, kowtowed, and pleaded for their commander.

Leng Qingtang ignored this, led Mu Cha and entered the camp tent, and was shocked by the wine banquet.

The weather in southern Xinjiang is much hotter than in the north this season.

Min Rui was tied under the scorching sun, and soon he was sweating profusely, dizzy, swollen and chesty.

"Overseer, let the prince go—"

"Lord Leng is gracious!"

"The grandfather of the country has a distinguished record and is a relative of the emperor, please show mercy to Lord Leng ......"

The cries of the red, green, and purple trio continued, and the howling sound hit the ear drums of Mimucha one after another, making it difficult for her to drink even if she held up the wine glass, and the meal was extremely unsteady.

Leng Qingtang squinted at the woman's expression, and then cast his gaze outside the tent, his lips faintly hooked.

He shouted aloud:

"Pass the order, it's three o'clock in the afternoon, and kill Min Rui!"

Just when the three generals of the Eastern Qing Dynasty were in chaos outside, Yi Mucha got up and walked out of his seat, knelt down sincerely in the face of Leng Qingtang, and bowed his head to speak Chinese that was not very fluent:

"The sinner asks Lord Leng to forgive the prince's crimes, and be generous to the prince as she treats the army. At present, the war in Yunnan is not over, and the first good generals will be passed into the ears of the enemy, and they may be laughed at. ”

Mrs. Yi came forward to intercede for Min Rui, and she was already in the heart of Leng Qingtang.

Although Fang Cai Min Rui's rhetoric is fierce, there is also a certain amount of truth.

The army has been in the land of recklessness for a long time, if this recruitment cannot completely convince the Yi clan, even if it relies on the establishment of the regular army of the Heavenly Dynasty in the future, it will be a disaster again.

Just now, Min Rui ordered people to stab those guns, which just gave the army a dismount.

Leng Qingtang understood the real reason why Min Rui hated the army, and the reason why he saluted him first and then soldiers, on the one hand, was to buy people's hearts to be checked by Qi Mu, and on the other hand, he deliberately killed Min Rui's evil spirit under the pretext of resisting the decree.

In addition, there is another layer of deep meaning, Leng Qingtang is determined to let go of his hatred after this matter has passed, and he will not blame Min Rui for the past.

It is true that Min Rui, as a military academy, deliberately concealed the fact that the former emperor was blocked from returning to the dynasty from Xiyi to Baishuiguan, and did not ask the guards for assistance, which caused the former emperor to be disheartened.

Ran Min Rui is also a rare general in Dayi's command of the water division.

It is imperative to get rid of the culprit Hua Nanze, but after thinking twice about the two sisters of Yunxi and Yunyao, Leng Qingtang decided to keep Min Rui.

Seeing that Mu Cha pleaded for him, Leng Qingtang felt that he had done a very good job as a peacemaker, and he could just accept it when he saw it.

Helping up the Qi family, Leng Qingtang smiled like a bath in the wind:

What Mrs. Yi said reminded the governor that the war in southern Xinjiang has not been extinguished at present, and it is indeed not appropriate to kill the generals. He resisted the order to kill your subordinates, but his wife was magnanimous, which really made Ben Governor admire. ”

Mrs. Yi clenched her fists:

"Lord Leng Du praises falsely, can you let the sinner woman personally untie the prince herself?"

Leng Qingtang's eyes were slightly pale, and he added a few respects to this woman in her early thirties, and nodded frequently:

"Yes."

He turned around and walked out of the tent, strode in front of Min Rui, knocked his head on the ground, and looked solemn when he got up:

"Lord Wang, the Ministry of Men was previously favored by the Wan Clan, and it is no longer a crime to contend with the army of the Celestial Empire. Now the Boku army invaded our border and killed the people, and my clan is also a child of Dayi, please temporarily allow me to make meritorious service with my crimes, and lead my subordinates into Yunnan to charge and kill the enemy.

If the sinner dies on the battlefield, it is the will of heaven, if the sinner does not die, when the Celestial Empire is victorious, the sinner woman will be killed by you, and then please let go of the sons and daughters of the tribe. ”
