Luo Yu, who won a great victory in the naval battle, invited Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan, two big traitors, as well as a group of their subordinates, to participate in the celebration on the flagship.

Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan were very happy. Although they only transported grain and grass and did not participate in naval battles, since they were with Luo Yu, the credit would always be shared.

"Oh, today's naval victory, it's all up to Luo Wanhu's command, and the soldiers are like gods!" Zhu Qing got on the flagship and said with compliments.

Zhang Xuan also smiled and said: "Luo Wanhu can destroy Hu Xun, a fierce god of the sea, with a little tricks, he is really a good general and a wizard in naval warfare." Zhang admired it very much. ”

When it comes to official positions, both of them are also three-grade households, but they are very polite to Luo Yu.

The two were once thieves across the sea, and because they helped the Yuan army destroy the Song Dynasty, they were awarded high-ranking officials. When they were pirate kings, they were defeated by Hu Xun more than once in the East China Sea of Annam, and they were almost wiped out by Hu Xun.

Today, seeing that Hu Xun, the fierce god of the sea, was destroyed by Luo Yu, of course they are very open.

Luo Yu raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Today's naval battle is a great victory, thanks to the two officials of ten thousand households to help the general confuse Hu Xun. Yes, Luo Moute held a banquet in the Chinese army to thank the two for their help. This military feat, Luo will naturally take on the two names. ”

Zhu Qing laughed, "Brother Luo is really interesting!" Righteous enough! Brother, I have made a note of your love! After speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup, looking very hearty.

"Brother Luo, my brother is a rough man, and he doesn't say words of gratitude, it's all in the wine!" Zhang Xuan also said arrogantly.

The two of their subordinates also raised their wine glasses and drank bitterly!

At this time, everyone was drinking on the deck, and the sea breeze was blowing, and it was really uncomfortable.

At this moment, Luo Yu, who was still smiling a moment ago, slammed his wine glass and shouted, "Do it!" ”

The pro-soldiers on the deck drew their knives together and shouted, surrounding Zhu Qing and the others, who were in a daze.

The incident happened in such a hurry, Zhu Qing, Zhang Xuan and the others didn't have time to react at all, and they didn't understand what was going on until the knife was on their necks.

"Brother Luo! Why are you doing that? Zhu Qing asked in surprise.

Zhang Xuan shouted: "Luo Yu, what do you want!" We are the officials of the imperial court, and the dignified three-grade shipping is ten thousand households! ”

Luo Yu stood up with a sinking face, "What are you doing?" Of course I killed you! You will not suffer a loss, and you will play the court and repay you for your death. ”

After all, Zhu Qing was a big pirate back then, and he also calmed down at this time and said: "Luo Wanhu, Zhu asked himself if he had no grievances with you, why did he kill me?" ”

Until now, he didn't think that Luo Yu killed him to rebel. Even if Luo Yu rebelled, he wouldn't be guilty of killing himself with all his heart.

Luo Yu sneered, "Why? For your ships, for the grain and grass you transport! Kill! ”

As soon as Zhu Qing and the others heard the answer, they felt a pain in their necks, and then they saw a blood line rushing out, and they heard a burst of wind and rain in their ears.

Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan, whose necks were cut, covered the wound in horror that gushed blood like no money, their eyes were round, and their legs were desperately kicked.

"I am so unwilling to ......" At this moment, before they died, what the two thought of was nothing else, but the gold and silver treasures of the family, and their beautiful wives and concubines.

Is...... I can't help it.

Luo Yu looked at the corpses of Zhu Qing, Zhang Xuan and others in disgust, and ordered: "Throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" ”

A subordinate general said: "General, the food and ships of the transport fleet are easy to handle, but what about the Cao soldiers above?" Do you want to kill them all? ”

Luo Yu nodded, "These Cao soldiers are all Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan's private soldiers, and they were also pirates before. Kill them all. ”

The general said: "What about the Huguang Water Division?" ”

Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said: "The Huguang Water Division is the Yuan Army Water Division, of course he must take the opportunity to destroy it, this is the meaning of the lord." According to the lord's plan, after annihilating the Annan Water Division, Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan, as well as the Huguang Water Division, were all cleaned up! ”

This time, the only remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Huguang Water Division also participated in the Battle of Halong Bay. was Luo Yu's ally before, but now he has become Luo Yu's enemy.

At night, after some careful arrangement, Luo Yu secretly surrounded the Huguang Water Division. Then he sent a flag message to Xie Jing, the commander of the Huguang Water Division and the coastal military and civilian chief, and asked Xie Jing to bring the main generals to discuss the matter of reporting the victory.

Xie Jing is the son of Xie Youkui, and his ancestor is Xie An. But because he has lived in the area of the Li Dynasty for a long time, he has long been monstrous. Like many toasts whose ancestors were Han and later barbarians, Xie Jing is also such a toast. And it's a rare toast who commands the water division.

Xie Jing heard that Luo Yu was looking for him to discuss the matter of reporting the victory, and immediately went to the flagship of the Fujian Navy Division with great interest. Today's victory in Ha Long Bay, his military exploits cannot be bypassed no matter what.

However, Xie Jing took a few generals, but after he left, he did not return for a long time.

At night, the Fujian Navy Division suddenly moved, and whether it was the Cao soldiers of the Maritime Wanhu Mansion or the Huguang Water Division, they were all killed.

Luo Yu surrounded more and less, and suddenly attacked. When it was almost dawn, the Cao soldiers of Haihai Province and the only remaining 3,000 Huguang Water Divisions were all killed.

Blood stained the waters of Halong Bay in the East Sea of Annam.

The Huguang Water Division and the Haihai Cao Soldiers, until they died, did not understand why friendly troops who were both Yuan troops and fought side by side during the day would suddenly attack them. How would they know that the Fujian Navy Division is called the Yuan Army, but it has actually become the Tang Army, which is like an iron bucket operated by Li Luo.

As soon as the Huguang Water Division was destroyed, the real sea power of the Yuan Court was even more insignificant.

The attack took place on the sea, and at night, and it was impossible for outsiders to know what was happening.

So, Luo Yu wrote a chapter according to Li Luo's arrangement, and boldly forged the military situation with confidence and reported to Dadu.

was originally a beautiful victory, but Luo Yu wrote it as a difficult victory.

In the report, the battle of Ha Long Bay was extremely tragic, but fortunately, it was early to be taught by the general of Zhengnan, so that he won a complete victory, and completely annihilated 20,000 people of the Annam naval division.

However, the convoy was intercepted by the Vietnamese army, and all of them were killed due to the lack of naval combat capabilities of the convoy. Even Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan sacrificed their lives for Dayuan.

The 500,000 stone grain of the shipping fleet, as well as a large amount of ordnance and supplies, all sank into the sea.

Huguang Water Division Wanhu Xie Jing, bravely used as a bait, was surrounded by the Annan Water Division and annihilated, Xie Jing died in battle.

The Fujian Navy Division also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

Fortunately, God blessed Dayuan, not only was the Annan Navy Division annihilated, but Hu Xun was also killed by the Navy Army. Since, the sea route is unobstructed also!

However, due to the loss of grain, grass and ordnance, it is hoped that the imperial court will re-collect 500,000 stone of grain and grass and reallocate ordnance supplies.

After Luo Yu finished writing the chapter, he sent his subordinates to Dadu by boat, and at the same time arranged for the captured warships, transport ships, military rations, ordnance, and prisoners to be sent back to Haidong.

At this point, not only did the Annan Navy Division be successfully killed, but the first pot of gold of the Southern Expedition was also earned.

Luo Yu couldn't help but be a little excited, this is 500,000 stone grain, more than 200 warships, hundreds of transport ships, and thousands of Annan prisoners.

Just the supply of ordnance that the Tang army intercepted and embezzled, there were 5,000 war horses, 1 million feather arrows, and 10,000 pairs of armor!

A sentence was written on the recital and it sank into the sea, and it was all owned by the Tang Kingdom.

Although the Yuan Court suffered a lot of losses, it would definitely not blame Luo Yu and Li Luo, not only was they not guilty, but they were meritorious. Because after all, the total annihilation of the Annan Navy Division is still a great victory after all.

It's a big deal to re-collect grain and grass, and allocate ordnance. Although these materials are a lot, they are really nothing to the Great Yuan Dynasty.

And that's just the takeaway from his side.

Another Tang army sailor pretending to be the Song army also carried Zhao Zhong's 5,000 soldiers and horses, as well as 3,000 Han township troops, and ordnance sent by the king of Annam.

The gains of the two fleets combined, even more impressive.

"Someone!" Luo Yu ordered, "Return to Guangzhou and raise the second batch of grain and grass military supplies!" ”

…………

"Ma Shilang, aren't you going to fight Qiongzhou? Why don't you go through Qiongzhou and not enter? ”

At this time, on the Tang fleet led by Liu Tuo, Song General Zhao Zhongzheng asked Ma Xuanli with some doubts.

Okay, let's fight Qiongzhou first, and then Guangzhou. But what's the matter, after beating Qiongzhou, there is no intention of staying?

Is it to fight Guangzhou? But I didn't go to Guangzhou.

Ma Xuanli replied with a sigh: "General Zhao, I just received the military information, and it turns out that the former Japanese Army and Naval Division was not defeated, but a plan to lure the enemy. Hu Jingluo led the fleet in pursuit, but the result was a great defeat. Hu Xun is also dead, and the Annan Navy Division is finished. ”

What the? Is the Annam Navy Division finished? Are you done with nonsense? How can it be?

Zhao Zhong was a little hard to believe. Hu Xun is a good general in naval warfare, he has guarded the East China Sea in Annan for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as a god needle in the sea, why was the whole army wiped out?

Li Jiao also said: "Brother Zhao, the news is true. The Annan Naval Division was completely annihilated, and the arrogance of the Yuankou Naval Division soared. You say, how can we still fight Qiongzhou? ”

Zhao Zhong nodded helplessly, the Annan Navy Division is finished, and the Yuan Army Navy Division will definitely run rampant in the South China Sea, not only can it not fight Qiongzhou, but it must also retreat to protect itself.

Ma Xuanli sighed gloomily: "Hey, God really can't help me." Today's plan can only temporarily avoid the edge of the Yuan Army's naval division. ”

Li Jiaodao: "Tens of thousands of troops are chasing us. We can't go south directly, we can only boldly go north first, and then go around in a big circle to confuse the Yuan army. ”

When Zhao Zhong heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he was convinced of it at the moment. How did he know that he was going to be sent to Haidong, not Java?

Ma Xuanli and Li glanced at each other without a trace, and the two spies were tacit.

That's what the teacher said. She said that when a person gets the hang of an agent, once they use it, they find that the subject becomes stupid.

Actually, it's not that the subject becomes stupid. In the words of the teacher, only the routine is charming. The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, and the routine in an industry is very confusing to the layman.

Agents not only have to trick others, but also counter-routines.

…………

The news of the annihilation of the entire Annan Navy Division finally reached the Ancient Rite City of Tianchang Mansion two days later.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it suddenly shattered the confident monarchs and ministers of Annan.

The Sailor was defeated...... Never before defeated, the navy army made Hu Xun and died in battle!

How can it be? How could it be!

When it was confirmed that the news was correct, the Annan monarchs and ministers of Guli City suddenly panicked.

is an ordinary person, and he also knows what it means to be overthrown. For Annan, this is completely unbearable pain.

"Damn it! Mistakenly, it's a big deal! Nearly 20,000 sailors were wiped out! How big is this! On the Renshou Palace, Emperor Chen Huang was so heartbroken that he stomped his feet with hatred.

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to send troops to hold the coast and resist the landing of the Yuan Kou Lu Division from the east coast." Tai Lieutenant Chen Guangqi said, "The minister thinks that we should send an additional 30,000 forbidden troops and 50,000 township troops, and then rush to repair the fortress and stick to the coast." ”

The east coast of Annam was already defended by land divisions, but there were only 20,000 or 30,000 men. Now that the sailor is dead, it is inevitable to vigorously strengthen the land division guarding the coast.

In this way, the land division on the east coast exceeded 100,000 people, which could almost prevent the Yuan army from landing.

"Quasi-play!" Chen Huang ordered a little panicked, "Pass the decree and make Chen Guanghui the general of the East China Sea Defense and lead his troops to defend the East Coast!" ”

"Message! The Ministry of War levied 100,000 laborers to repair the fortress on the east coast! ”

"Yes!"

Tongping Zhangshi Li Wenxiu said: "Your Majesty, the sailor is dead, and the Yuankou sailor must go up the river from Halong Bay from the Baiteng River, straight into Gyeonggi, and join the Yuankou Lu Division. A stake barrier should be erected on the side of the Baiteng River. ”

"Quasi-play!" Chen Huang ordered without hesitation.

However, only the next day, the emperor of Annam received the military information that the army of Yuan Kou would leave Langshan again and attack the important places of Gyeonggi in North Vietnam.

This was originally expected by the monarch of Annan. Now the entire Red River Plain has been evacuated, and there is nothing but empty cities and villages. Just like last time, don't let Yuan Kou grab the grain and grass.

But they knew very well in their hearts that Yuan Kou would never make the same mistake last time this time. At the very least, the Yuan Kou at Lang Son Pass will definitely divide his troops and garrison them, and he will not give up easily.

Now that the sailor is gone, everyone knows that this battle is not easy to fight.

Fortunately, the Tianchang Mansion in the central region of Vietnam, and the flat land of the Red River in the north of Vietnam, separated by mountains and jungles, can effectively resist the southward movement of the Yuankou cavalry. As long as the east coast holds, the situation can be stabilized.

…………

At this time, the Chinese army behind Li Luo also passed through the Lang Son Pass and entered northern Vietnam. He stationed 10,000 Han troops and 10,000 auxiliaries at Lang Son Pass.

At least the back road grain road can't be abandoned.

In this way, only 160,000 people actually invaded North Vietnam.

At this time, it was already the rainy season in Annam, and the rain was heavy, and the army was slow, and the infantry could not travel fifty miles in a day.

Li Luo couldn't help but worry when he saw the weather.

As soon as I came to the southern foot of Lang Mountain, I saw corpses everywhere under the gentle slope not far away, as well as the broken battle flags of the Yuan army.

That's where the instigator died in battle. Two or three months ago, the remnants of tens of thousands of troops were all killed there.

"General, please give the order to collect the bones of our army." A color officer will bow and plead.

The other generals also looked at Li Luo together.

Li Luo said solemnly: "Just sacrifice here, and it will never be possible to collect the bones." Now the corpse has not finished decomposing, and the corpse gas is still there. At this time, it is easy to be contaminated with corpse poison and cause a plague. ”

As soon as the generals heard that it was true, they no longer asked for restraint. But soon, some Mongolian cavalry cried first, followed by the Semu soldiers, and the Han army, and many people cried.

In the hazy spring rain, for a time the cry under the mountain shook the sky.

Li Luo couldn't help but think of the Battle of Shenhepi, the Battle of Later Yan and Northern Wei in Shenhepi, due to Murong Bao's command error, the Yan army was defeated, and tens of thousands of elites died.

A year later, in order to avenge his hatred, Murong Chui personally led the elite soldiers of Longcheng to attack Wei. The Yan army passed by Shenhepi again, and saw the corpses of the Yan soldiers who died in the battle last year, and the whole army couldn't help but mourn, and the cry shook the sky. Murong Trai was also sad in his heart, fell ill in the army, and died in the army after failing to leave the army.

This scene is really similar to a scene in history.

Li Luo raised his head and let the drizzle fall on his face, which seemed to be tears in the eyes of others.

Finally passed through Xipingzhou and came to a city called Langzhou City, Li Luo ordered to rest and avoid the rain. While sending people to Siming Prefecture to urge the next batch of grain and grass.

"Report!"

As soon as Li Luo arrived at the city of Langzhou, there was a report from the visiting horse, "The iron cavalry of General Qiyu and General Sudieer has reached the north bank of the Red River, but the bridges have been destroyed by the Vietnamese army." General Yasu couldn't cross the river. ”

Li Luo sat upright on his horse, and the whip was pumped in the air, "Tell Deputy Marshal Zuo, don't cross the river, and don't have to build the bridge!" Let Deputy Marshal Zuo retreat to Qiongjiang City! Wait for Ben Shuai to arrive in Qiongjiang City. ”

"Wow!" The horse immediately turned over and rode away.

"What? Don't let cross the river? What exactly does a great general mean? Deputy Marshal Zuo also received the military order, and he was very puzzled. Anjing Shishenglong City is just south of the Red River, why don't you go to Qiongjiang City instead of the river?

Thinking of this way, the city was undefended, the village had no people, and the Vietnamese army could not see it, and Su Die'er seemed to understand Li Luo's intentions.

"Order, go to Qiongjiang City!" also gave an order, and tens of thousands of cavalry rumbled towards Qiongjiang City.

Qiongjiang City is a big city, and it is also the seat of Qiongjiang Road. However, Qiongjiang City is neither in the mountains of northern Vietnam nor in the flat land of the Red River, but at the junction of the flat land and the mountainous land.

It wasn't until three days later that Li Luo's rear army and Ye Sudie'er's front army converged in Qiongjiang City.

At this time, Qiongjiang City has become a huge military camp. More than 100,000 troops all entered the city, making the dead city, which was originally empty, suddenly very crowded and lively.

The first thing Li Luo did when he entered the city was to order all the departments to inspect every inch of the place to see if there were no tunnels, fire oil and other things that were secretly left by the Vietnamese army, so as not to be plotted.

The official yamen in the city temporarily became the big tent of Li Luo's Chinese army. At the entrance of the original official office, a tall black horsetail Sulu ingot was erected, as well as the blue wolf battle flag.

"Woo-woo-"

"Knock knock—"

"The general has been raised!!"

In the sound of trumpets and war drums, one by one the generals in helmets and armor came to the official office where the big tent of the Chinese army was located, and as soon as everyone entered, they saw Li Luo sitting in the hall.

"See the General!"

Su Dieer and Shi Bi are the deputy marshals on the left and right, and the two of them led the generals to salute Li Luo.

Seeing the generals from different ethnic groups saluting him, Li Luo was very proud in his heart, I relied on my real skills to deceive me to this point.

Who would have thought that this man, who was once the general of the expedition to the east and is now the general of the expedition to the south, and this loyal minister of the Great Yuan, who was given the title of Mergen Badu, would have anti-Yuan thoughts at the beginning?

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Luo began to discuss the military.

"Our army only has half a month's grain and grass, and now you have seen it, the Vietnamese army is hiding, and the people are also hiding. It is absolutely impossible to fight the enemy because of food. Therefore, our army must not go to Thang Long City, nor can we stay in this Qiongjiang City! ”

Shi Bi's eyes moved, and he said, "Didn't the general go east and go to the beach all the way?" ”

Li Luo smiled: "Not bad. Right Shuai really has a spicy gaze. Ben Shuai wanted to go east to Anbang City, firstly, to rescue the party troops trapped in Anbang City. Second, head south along the east coast to Ha Long Bay. ”

Shi Bi couldn't help but high-fived and said, "Wonderful! The general really deserves to be the capital of Morgenbatu! The Vietnamese army was afraid that our troops would land in the waters off the east coast. But unexpectedly, our army went to the sea from the inland instead! In this way, our troops will not need to guard against attacks from the left as they move south along the coast! ”

Li Luo said: "What is more important is that our army will meet on land and water. In this way, the sea route is unimpeded. Our army then established a camp in the south of the Yangtze River and a camp in the north of the Yangtze River on both sides of the Baiteng River. Jiangnan camp strategy Yuezhong, Jiangbei camp strategy Yuebei! ”
