After three rounds of drinking, Shi Bi said: "General, after a few battles, the Vietnamese army has surrendered more than 50,000 prisoners. How should this be handled? ”

This is also a matter of concern to many generals. The Vietnamese army must be used to surrender troops, but how to use it so as not to be counterattacked is very particular.

More than 50,000 troops surrendered, and if they were to build a disorder, or to defect before the battle, it would be very troublesome.

Li Luo had already made up his mind and said, "First, make them braided their hair. Second, the acting imperial court temporarily granted the official position of degraded general. Third, the banner of 'Loyal Yuan New Vietnamese Army' was awarded to let the soldiers and civilians of Annam know that they were traitors. ”

"Fourth, they were promised benefits that once Annam was pacified, they could share the land of the princely and wealthy clans of Annam. Fifth, let them serve only as sword and shield bearers and pikemen, and they were not allowed to be armed with stone cannons, bed crossbows, iron armor, bows and arrows. Sixth, there must be a prison army for more than 1,000 households. Seventh, military rations are provided on a daily basis. Eighth, defection and sitting. Shi Chang defected and killed a hundred households. 100 households defected, 1,000 killed..."

Li Luo said more than a dozen in one breath, which can be described as leaky.

His combination of punches is a combination of the experience of Meng Yuan controlling the Han army, the Manchu Qing controlling the Green Battalion, and the Japanese army controlling the puppet army.

It can be said that once this method is implemented, even if Annan wants to rebel, it will be difficult and there will be many concerns.

After a few battles are fought, stained with the blood of their own compatriots, and after they are willing to fall, they can become a shameful butcher's knife, helping the Yuan army to kill all the hard bones of Annan, and finally leaving people who are willing to be obedient to the people.

The hard bones are dead, and when the Tang army conquers Annan again, it will be just a change of master for the Annan people, and they will not resist fiercely.

Li Luo's most insidious trick is to learn from the Manchu Qing's "shaving hair and making it easy to wear", which is also the most shameless method of the Manchu Qing.

Today's Han army and Han officials also imitate the Mongolian army's "hair braids", and even use Mongolian names. Especially in the northern Han army, the proportion of braided hair was higher.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang to set things right, the Han people would have been turned into Hu.

Li Luo felt that saying that the Mengyuan Manchu Qing Dynasty was sinicized was mostly obscene. From the beginning to the end, the Mongol and Manchu Qing retained their own writing, clothing, names, and customs, and they were barbaric and strong. If you really want to sinicize, what's the matter with braided hair and money rat tail?

How could those women who crossed over to the Qing Palace fall in love when they saw the money rat tails of their brothers? Not spicy eyes? The taste is a bit heavy.

Whether the Han army of the Yuan Dynasty wore braided hair or changed its name to Hu, it was not forced by the Meng Yuan. But the Manchu Qing Dynasty's shaving was easy to wear, but it was forced.

Li Luo just wants to use this trick on the Annan people and fight poison with poison. Do unto your enemies as you would have them do unto you.

"Forcing them to wear braided hair?" Shi Bi's eyes lit up, Li Luo said more than a dozen things just now, most of which he had thought of. But he didn't expect this.

Shi Bi himself also wore braided hair. Although he is a Han Chinese, he is an "old sonu". Even Li Luo also has two braids, but Li Luo has not shaved his head, and he is not a real braided hair.

Shi Bi admitted that Li Luo's move was very powerful. After the army was demoted to braided hair, it was not tolerated by the soldiers and civilians of Annan, and they could only be honest and effective.

The generals also agreed after hearing this, and even said that the general was thoughtful and well-planned, and the army could only obediently obey Fan Yunyun.

Li Luo said that he would do it, and on the spot, he asked Wu E and a group of Vietnamese generals to be called to see the celebration banquet.

As soon as Wu E and the others came, they were a little panicked and saluted Li Luo and the generals.

"The last general has seen the great generals, and he has seen the generals. I wonder what the general commanded? Wu Er asked with a humble look.

Today, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese troops were defeated, Chen Rixian fled, and Chen Guojun was beheaded. This made Wu E even more afraid of the Yuan army and even less confident in the Yue army.

Even, he was extremely glad that he saw the opportunity quickly and surrendered early.

Other generals also have the same idea as Wu E.

"Come on, serve wine to General Wu and the others, sit!" Li Luo sat on the main seat with a smile and said.

"General Xie gives wine!" Wu Er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said a sentence like a ghost: "The last general congratulates the general on his victory!" ”

When the generals of the Yuan army heard this, they all disdained it, but they were also more relieved.

Congratulations on my victory? Is this what an Annam person should say? Li Luo looked at Wu E, who was very big and dignified, and the more he looked at it, the more obscene he felt.

Li Luo suddenly pointed at Shi Bi and said: "This is Shi Shuai, a famous general of the Han Army of the Great Yuan, a veteran among the generals of the Han Army, and is deeply trusted by the Great Khan. General Wu, don't look at Shi Shuai's braided hair, you think he is a Mongolian nobleman. ”

Shi Bi smiled, a little smug about what Li Luo said.

What do you mean? Wu E looked at Shi Bi and saw that this person was dressed like a Mongolian general, but his facial features were different from that of a Mongolian general.

Wu E found that this Shi Bi only had a short hair on his forehead, and the hair on the top of his head and the back of his head was shaved and cleanly shaved, which looked like a monk at first glance. However, he is not a monk. Because there is a loop on both ears, braided into two finger-thick braids.

It's ugly, brutal and weird. Even if a beautiful man with outstanding demeanor has this kind of hairstyle, he will definitely not look good.

Wu E faintly felt a little bad, and his smile stiffened unconsciously.

Sure enough, Li Luo said: "Wearing a scarf is a bad habit of the country. Braided hair is the elegant government of the Great Yuan. General Wu, what do you think of this handsome? When Li Luo said this, he wanted to vomit.

"It's... The general's words... Nature makes sense. "Where does Wu E still not know what Li Luo means? This man with hypochondria is not stupid.

Li Luo said with a smile: "General Wu killed Ruan Xuan, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, thanks to Dayuan, it can be said that those who know the times are Junjie, and the future is limitless." Since General Wu thinks that Ben Shuai is reasonable... Hehe. ”

Wu Er scolded secretly in his heart, reasonable fart, what kind of braided hair is the elegance of Dayuan, why don't you shave your hair yourself? How ugly is it that you can't see?

But at most, he can only scold in his heart, how dare he show the slightest dissatisfaction?

"The general Jin Yu said good words, and the last general was taught. It's just that... The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it..."Wu E said boldly, but his voice became smaller and quieter, and finally it was like a mosquito buzzing.

Li Luo picked up his wine glass and no longer spoke, but looked at Wu E lightly, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.

When Wu Er saw Li Luo's gaze, he was frightened, and he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, but now that the drop has fallen, why do you still care about your hair? It's really sorry for my ancestors to shave my hair, but if I don't shave my hair, how can I survive?

"General, curling hair and scarves is a bad habit of the country, and braided hair is the elegant government of the Great Yuan. The last general is willing to braid his hair and think that his subordinates are set an example! Wu E finally let go.

Several other Vietnamese generals looked at each other, and seeing Wu E's statement, although they scolded in their hearts, they had to say that they were willing to braid.

Li Luo turned his head to look at Ye Sudie'er, "Deputy Marshal Zuo, this matter is related to the Mongolian hairstyle, so it is better for Deputy Marshal Zuo to issue it instead of the imperial court." ”

He won't give this braided hair order. Annan is the future land of the Tang Dynasty in the plan, how can Li Luo be willing to leave such an obvious stain?

Ye Sudie'er grinned: "Then I will also order Sudie'er." ”

Soon, the Yuan army, in the name of Ye Su Die'er, officially ordered the surrendering army to make them braided their hair.

After Su Die'er gave the order, Li Luo secretly ordered the Yuan army to monitor the camp to prevent chaos.

In fact, the captives of the surrendered army did not have armor and weapons, and even if they made a rebellion, they were only sent to death in vain.

At night, a group of generals who had already braided their hair appeared in the camp to tell the Dharma, persuading them to shave their hair and braid.

Finally, there were still people who resisted.

"The head can be broken, but the hair cannot be shaved!"

Some of the soldiers who were unwilling to shave their hair rushed out of the camp with a clamour. Then, as soon as they rushed out, they ushered in the rain of arrows of the Yuan army, which had been prepared for a long time.

After some twists and turns, the next day, 50,000 prisoners of war had their hair braided. The remaining thousands were beheaded for resistance.

After that, Li Luo, on behalf of the Yuan court, awarded the 50,000 surrendered troops the military title and battle flag of "Zhongyuan Xinyue Army".

On behalf of the Yuan court, he temporarily set up five Zhongyuan Xinyue Army Wanhu Mansions, appointed Wu E and others to be reduced to 10,000 households, and promoted a batch of 100 households. Then, Li Luo personally selected dozens of people to serve as overseers.

After the establishment of the 50,000 households, the "Zhongyuan Xinyue Army" was equipped with leather armor and swords and guns, but they were not allowed to be equipped with other ordnance.

In this way, even if the New Vietnamese Army rebelled, it could be easily exterminated and suppressed.

Finally, Li Luo gathered the New Vietnamese army and inspected them in front of the Yuan army. After that, an order was issued on behalf of the Yuan court.

All the new Vietnamese troops who were loyal to the Great Yuan and helped the Great Yuan to exterminate the Chen Dynasty could be rewarded for their military merits, and even participated in the distribution of land for the princes of Annam.

With this order, the morale of the army gradually stabilized.

These 50,000 troops were mainly used to participate in jungle cage tactics. Thirty thousand Tusi barbarians alone are really not enough.

In the afternoon, Li Luo officially ordered the construction of a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

Luo Yu's sailors had recently captured many of Annam's merchant and fishing vessels, and had almost swept away all the ships along Annam's coast. At this time, Luo Yu ordered the sailors to block the mouth of the river and the bay, and at the same time connected the merchant and fishing boats to form a pontoon bridge to facilitate the army to cross the river.

And Chen Guohui, who was defending the other side of the Baiteng River, finally found out the news of Chen Rilian's defeat and Chen Guojun's death.

Chen Guohui, who heard the bad news of the defeat, was shocked and sent a fast horse to report to Guli City, while reinforcing the defensive fortress on the riverbank overnight.

There are only 50,000 people under his command now, and without the assistance of a sailor, it is really difficult to resist the Yuan army that controls the river and the sea to cross the river.

Since the annihilation of the naval division, Chen Guohui felt that the battle was becoming more and more difficult to fight, and he did not have the feeling of resisting and instigating the capital last time.

Li Luo stood at the head of the city, looking at the warships and the Yuan army that were still busy on the sea nearby, and his heart was very porcelain.

The Vietnamese army could not stop him from crossing the river at all.

The sailor division is in his hands, the sea power, and the river control are all in his hands, how can the Vietnamese army stop it?

According to Li Luo's strategy of crossing the river, the naval division was divided into three, carrying 3,000 cavalry on each road, landing from any place where it could land, and after going ashore, harassing the Vietnamese army of Jiangfang and looking for opportunities to attack.

With such a long coastline and the Vietnamese army preparing in a hurry, how can they fortify everywhere? There was simply no way to prevent the landing of the Yuan cavalry troops.

When the three-way cavalry landed, they rushed to the back of the Jiangfang Vietnamese army.

Then, let the 10,000 troops be the vanguard and attack the Jiangfang Vietnamese army through the pontoon bridge.

This battle is too easy to fight.

The Baiteng River was not wide, and the Yuan army's naval division filled the mouth of the Baiteng River with a large number of captured Annam ships. By the third day, a pontoon bridge half a mile wide had been formed.

Chen Guohui could only watch the pontoon bridge be built. He planned to send death squads carrying fire oil to rush down the river bank and burn the pontoon bridge. Or launch rockets to burn ships, however, the pontoon bridge of the Yuan army was still a hundred steps from the other side of the river, and it never extended any further. The Vietnamese army was separated by a hundred paces of the river, and there were no boats, so there was no way to take the pontoon bridge.

Moreover, although the Yuan army moved a lot, it did not launch the battle to cross the river, as if it was waiting for something.

Day 4.

"Report! Your Highness, tens of thousands of cavalry were found in the rear, which should have been sent to the coast by the Yuan Army sailors in the past few days, and they came to us. Tanma quickly came to report to Chen Guohui, his face full of panic.

What the? Chen Guohui was shocked.

This is where he is inferior to Chen Rilian and Chen Guojun. Chen Rilian and Chen Guojun saw at a glance that the Yuan army would definitely use the naval division to carry part of the cavalry to find an opportunity to land, and attack the Yue army defending the river from behind.

In fact, because both the sea and the river were controlled by the Yuan army's naval division, the Vietnamese army on the opposite bank of the river could not prevent the Yuan army from crossing the river. The only way to prevent the Yuan army from crossing the river was to fight a decisive battle with the main force in Jiangbei.

Why didn't Chen Rixian take advantage of the Yuan army to cross the river and "attack halfway", and had to fight a decisive battle in advance? Because "half-crossing and attacking" is a utopian dream. How stupid can the commander of the Yuan army be to give him the opportunity to attack halfway? What a pawn knows, the general doesn't know?

And Chen Guohui is different. He was really fantasizing about the Yuan army giving him the opportunity to attack halfway.

But now, he knew there was no chance.

Of course, Chen Guohui can put up a formation to respond to the cavalry of the Yuan army rushing from the rear, but in this case, how can he prevent the Yuan army from crossing the river?

Behind is the cavalry of the Yuan army, and in front is the Yuan army crossing the river, most of which is the end of the annihilation of the whole army. Chen Guojun and Chen Rixian joined forces with more than 300,000 troops, but one died and one was defeated. How could he be an opponent of the Yuan army?

"Give up guarding the river and retreat into the mountains! Fast! Chen Guohui is not incompetent, after judging the situation, he immediately made the wisest choice.

Retreating into the mountains and preserving the vitality is the best policy.

"Your Highness...", the generals were in a hurry.

Chen Guohui said angrily: "Are you going to disobey? Retreat into the jungle! ”

"No!"

Half an hour later, when the cavalry of the 9,000 Yuan Army arrived violently, they found that the 50,000 Vietnamese troops defending the river bank had withdrawn into the mountains not far away.

"I ran away... Damn it! The Mongol general, who commanded the army, only felt a punch in the air.

Li Luo also felt very sorry when he learned that Chen Guohui had slipped away without fighting. This Chen Guohui, although not as good as Chen Rilian Chen Guojun, is not a mediocre talent.

Since the Baiteng River is destined to be undefended, it is the best choice to retreat into the mountains and forests to preserve the vitality.

"Order, the army crosses the river!" Li Luo gave an order, and the Yuan army and the Xinyue army crossed the river mightily.

Of course, not all Yuan troops crossed the river.

As the Anxing City where the Jiangbei camp is located, 60,000 soldiers and horses were left behind, including 10,000 Xinyue troops and 10,000 cavalry, commanded by Shi Bi.

60,000 soldiers and horses, relying on Anxing City, independently took on the task of the Jiangbei battalion, which was enough for the time being.

In addition, there are more than 4,000 party soldiers in Anxing City who are cultivating and are regarded as things in Li Luo's pocket.

During this time, Li Luo cared for the remnants of the party, and from time to time he took two party women to visit them in the party camp, and also encircled Li Yi, Yeli Sili and other party generals, and won the love of the party army.

Because Yeli Duobu is still the same clan as Yeli Sili, Li Luo took advantage of this relationship to make the two become brother and sister. The two party women acted as Li Luo's representatives, showing goodwill to the party and the army as much as possible.

Of course, the two women didn't know Li Luo's purpose. In Li Luo's words, the reason why he took special care of the remnants of the party was for their sake. This statement moved the two women greatly.

In the eyes of Li Yi, Yeli Sili and others, the reason why Li Luo took special care of them was because the two party women were members of the Li family.

When Li Luo left, he promised to send a boat to send the remnants of the party to China for repairs within half a month.

The remnants of the party no longer wanted to fight for the Yuan court in Annam, and of course they wanted to return to China to repair. So I am very happy about Li Luo's promise.

However, they don't know that the so-called return to China is not to return to Mengyuan.

After dividing the troops between the north and the south, Li Luo personally led the main force across the river.

After converging with the 9,000 cavalry on the opposite bank, the total strength was as high as 140,000. Among them, 60,000 were cavalry, 40,000 infantry, and 40,000 were the new Vietnamese army.

The remaining 10,000 sailors continued to blockade the coast.

…………

The day before Li Luo led his army across the river, on March 17, the monarchs and ministers of Annan in Guli City finally received a report from Chen Guohui.

The news reported by Chen Guohui is too appalling. Chen Guojun was killed in battle, Chen Rilian was defeated, and the hundreds of thousands of troops commanded by Dayue Shuangbi were actually lost by half! What a deal.

As soon as the battle report arrived at the Taishang Palace, Chen Huang was immediately shocked and angry, and he fainted.

When Chen Huang woke up, Emperor Chen Yu and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all gathered in his dormitory, looking anxious.

"Father, the matter has come to this, you still have to take care of the dragon body!" Emperor Chen Yu said with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body! Da Yue can't live without His Majesty! The ministers fell to their knees.

Chen Huang stood up with his son's support, and said with a dejected face: "Let's all be even, I'm just angry, and it's okay." Tell me about it, what's going on now? ”

Taiwei and Zhaoming King Chen Guangqi said: "The younger brother estimates that Yuan Kou may have crossed the river. Chen Guohui has probably given up guarding the river and retreated into the mountains. ”

What the?

Chen Huang's face suddenly turned flushed, "Give up guarding the river?" He dares! If he dares to do so, I will cut off his head! Ahem..."Before he finished speaking, there was a violent cough.

Emperor Chen Yu hurriedly beat him on the back, his face full of worry.

The ministers also looked worried.

The Emperor Taishang is only more than forty years old, the spring and autumn period is prosperous, and he is well maintained, and his complexion is also very good. can hear the defeat at the front, and it seems to be ten years old in just half a day.

Chen Guangqi pondered and said, "Brother Huang is angry. The younger brother thought that since Jiangbei was defeated, it was no longer possible to prevent Yuan Kou from crossing the river to poison Yuezhong. Bai Tengjiang, in fact, has nothing to defend. Chen Guohui gave up the defense of the river and saved the soldiers and horses, which was a wise move. ”

Chen Huang thought about it, his face looked better, and he asked bitterly: "If you don't have a water division, but the coastal defense army is 60,000 or 70,000 and the Jiangfang army is 50,000, you can't stop Yuan Kou from coming to Vietnam?" ”

Governor Li Kuo said: "How can the coast and riverbank be fortified everywhere? Jiangbei was defeated, and Yuankou's strategy of Yuezhong was a foregone conclusion. Please make plans for Your Majesty! ”

Chen Huang said dejectedly: "The third child died in battle, the sixth child was defeated, and in half a month, it was so far!" Lost in morality? ”

At this moment, suddenly a small yellow door hurriedly came in and handed over a battle report, "Imperial Lord, His Royal Highness King Zhaowen has news!" ”

It's the sixth!

Chen Huang snatched the battle report, read it a little tremblingly, and looked a lot more relaxed.

"Six days ago, the old six were defeated, and the township army was annihilated. He withdrew his troops into the mountains and collected the defeated army of the third child. Now that he is preparing to cross the river in the upper reaches of the Baiteng River, in four or five days at most, the 100,000-strong army of Lao Liu will arrive in Yuezhong. ”

The ministers' expressions were also relieved, which was really a blessing in misfortune. Although King Zhaowen was defeated, he still kept the main force, and collected the defeated army of King Xingdao, and there were even 100,000 troops.

Chen Guangqi said: "Brother Huang, don't worry. When the sixth arrives, there will still be three or four hundred thousand troops in Yuezhong, and the strength of Dayue still exists! ”

Li Wenxiu said: "Your Majesty, Yuankou will arrive in a few days, and the minister thinks that he should give up Guli City and hunt Chang'an in the south." The military affairs of Vietnam and China will be handed over to the lieutenant. ”

To Chang'an?

Chen Huang shook his head again and again, "Yuan Kou hasn't arrived at the Tianchang Mansion yet, so I'll avoid Chang'an?" Where is such morale? I won't go anywhere for the time being, so I'll sit in the Tianchang Mansion and fight to the death with Yuan Kou! (There is also Chang'an in Annam, which is the ancient capital of the Ding Dynasty and the Former Li Dynasty in the south of Annam)

ps: It's the end of the month, ask for a wave of fierce support! Thank you! Urgent!
