The fall of Kuaizhou meant that the Hong'an defense line had completely collapsed, and there was no strength to delay the Yuan army to poison Yuezhong.

Then, tens of millions of acres of spring rice in Viet Cong will not have a chance to be harvested.

It will take at least a month for the spring rice to mature, and the Yuan army will be able to reach Tianchang Mansion in four or five days at most.

Most of the 300 li in Vietnam and Central China are flatland, and it is the grain-producing area of Annam, second only to the flat land of the Red River. Because the Yuan army invaded last year, there has been no grain for two seasons in the Red River Flats, and the people have withdrawn into the jungle.

In this way, millions of people in the entire Annam point to the spring rice in Yuezhong and the grain in Chang'ancang.

But now, Chang'ancang's grain was robbed and stolen by the Song army, and Kuaizhou fell again. Such a disaster is not a one-way street, how can you get it?

Millions of mouths, what to eat?

If the soldiers don't die in battle, they will starve to death!

"Your Majesty, now there are only tens of thousands of people left in the forbidden army, Chang'an Cang has been robbed, and there will soon be a shortage of food in the army. This battle can no longer be fought, please Your Majesty Taishang immediately issue an order, West Hunt Tianchang Mountain! When Chen Huang was rescued, Li Wenxiu played first.

Chen Guangqi also said: "It's urgent! Please make a quick decision from the imperial brother, Yuan Kou will be in Guli City in a few days! ”

"Father, please decide!" Chen Yu also said anxiously.

Most of Annan's ministers were anxious like ants on a hot pot at this time, and they wanted to cry without tears. But Chen Yiji, the king of Zhao, who has always been eager for peace, is not only not sad, but happy in his heart.

But he was also in a hurry. It's just that he is not anxious about how to defend Da Yue. He is anxious about how to reduce the yuan in order to get the maximum benefit.

The same anxious, but for different reasons. But in the eyes of others, they all thought that His Royal Highness King Zhao was also worried about state affairs, where would they think that he was anxious about the reduction of the yuan?

There are several ministers who have the same thoughts as Chen Yiji, all of whom are members of Chen Yiji's party and belong to the capitulation faction.

Even, the minds of these ministers are even more unbearable than Chen Yiji. Chen Yiji is just for the throne, hoping to become the second king of Goryeo after the fall of the Yuan.

And these ministers have long had the idea of changing their courts. They are officials in Dayue, aren't they also officials in the Yuan Court? As long as there is an official to do and money to receive, who is the official not to do? As for what will happen to Da Yue, what does it matter to me?

At this time, many ministers were thinking of seeking peace, but most of them were for the sake of Dayue.

A minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is no war now, and there is a shortage of soldiers and food. Weichen thinks, can we reopen the discussion? ”

Another minister also raised his head and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Dayue has been defeated again and again, for the sake of today's plan, peace is the best policy!" Weichen thought that he should agree to the conditions of the Yuan court, cancel the era name, change it to a province, and follow the story of Goryeo. ”

Then, several more ministers came out in favor of the peace request.

What they were worried about was that even if they agreed to the Yuan court's request for peace, the Yuan court would not agree. When the battle came to this point, people with vision could see that Da Yue couldn't go on. The best ending is to retreat to the mountains and forests and become the court in the mountains.

Chen Yiji heard that a minister proposed to fully agree to the conditions of the Yuan court, and immediately became nervous. While secretly scolding the minister who proposed peace, he hoped that the emperor would not agree.

If the Emperor agrees to sue for peace, what else will he do? Da Yue is indeed going to surrender, and he should indeed follow Goryeo, but it should be led by him Chen Yiji, not the emperor Chen Huang.

Chen Huang seemed to have suddenly turned into an old man, his face was desolate and desolate, he suddenly picked up the jade Ruyi on the case, and smashed it with a "snap".

"The jade is broken, and it doesn't change white!" Chen Huang shouted, "I swear to fight the Tartars to the end!" ”

"Hanlin Academy is waiting for the edict!"

"In!"

"Intended! Let the people of all walks of life leave their hometowns quickly and enter the mountains nearby! You can't go out of the mountain without an edict! ”

"It is proposed that all the princely clans have stored grain, and from now on, they will all be borrowed into the treasury and allocated in a unified manner!"

"Proposed decree, all the subjects and people of Taishang Wangjing will go out of the city tomorrow and hunt the heavenly mountain with me!"

"Proposed decree, except for the 10,000 forbidden army, 20,000 township troops will follow me to hunt in the west, and all the other soldiers and horses will be paid to Chen Rilian, the king of Zhaowen, and Chen Rilian will be appointed as the governor of the internal and external military, envoys, and generals who resist the capture! Let him be sure to drag Yuan Kou and let the Dayue soldiers and civilians enter the mountain smoothly! ”

Chen Huang issued several holy decrees in a row, and ordered the transfer of the palace treasury, books and classics, and all of them must be loaded early tomorrow morning.

A few ministers who had suggested peace before, where could they persuade them again at this time? I could only obey the holy decree and hurry home to load the salute.

As soon as the holy decree was issued, the entire Guli City suddenly became a mess.

Guli City is the capital of Taishang Wang, the second largest city after the capital division of Shenglong City, and it is the de facto capital division of the Yue Kingdom. There are more than 100,000 people in Guli City, and there are many high-ranking officials and relatives, how can they just leave?

Can't you keep it?

Everyone knew that with the remaining remnants of the army and the food that was about to run out, it was impossible to defend it, and there was no point in guarding it.

In order to suppress the mutiny, Chen Huang all 20,000 forbidden troops entered the city, just in case, and urged the soldiers and civilians in the city to prepare to "go hunting with the west".

Immediately afterwards, dozens of fast horses rushed out of Guli City, carrying their orders to various places.

In the next three days, first the entire Tianchang Mansion, and then the entire Yuezhong, were shocked by the turmoil of "leaving their hometown and entering the mountains", and the people of Yue suddenly fell into a fear like the end of the world.

That night, the entire Guli City was full of chaotic people, whether it was officials or military civilians, all of them were nervously carrying things. Carriages and horses became the most sought-after things for a while.

In the palace of King Zhao, there was also a nervous load of gold, silver, soft and valuables. However, Chen Yiji, as the head of the family, did not have the slightest hint of panic.

"Your Highness, while the city is in chaos now, it's time to leave." A young man sat opposite Chen Yiji and said.

The clothes that this young man wore seemed to be an entourage, but he did not have the slightest consciousness of his entourage.

On the contrary, Chen Yiji was very polite to him.

"Mr. Chen, it's not that this king is suspicious, once this king descends to the Great Yuan, there will be no way out. Mr. Chen has been with Benwang for several months, and he can be regarded as a friend. Could Mr. Chen tell me the truth, can the general really recommend this king to the emperor as the new king? ”

This young man is also surnamed Chen, named Chen Yu, a Qilu person, not only Cui Xiuning's hometown, but also her student.

Spy Chen Yu has been in Annan for a few months, and finally succeeded in getting close to Chen Yiji. With the repeated victories of the Yuan army, Chen Yiji's heart to surrender to the Yuan became more firm, and Chen Yu simply "picked out his identity", saying that he was a person from the Yuan court and was recruited by the general.

Chen Yiji was immediately overjoyed, and treated Chen Yu as a guest, hoping to reduce the yuan smoothly.

Chen Yu despised Chen Yiji's personality in his heart, and said: "Your Highness is relieved. The general will definitely recommend His Royal Highness as the new king, and Chen Yu will never deceive His Highness. ”

That's right, according to the plan, Li Luo will indeed recommend Chen Yiji as the new king, and use Chen Yiji as a puppet to attract the people of Annan to go out of the mountains to be obedient people, and then use Chen Yiji to kill Annan's hard bones.

Historically, the Yuan court originally intended to set up Chen Yiji as a puppet.

However, the so-called new king is not what Chen Yiji thinks at all. Li Luo would never suggest that the Yuan court should appoint Chen Yiji as the king of Annam. Under the great victory of the Yuan court, Annan will never be treated by Goryeo again.

Annam, like Japan, will directly become a province. A new province that constantly resisted and was constantly suppressed by the Yuan army until the blood of resistance was drained.

When the Yuan court garrison kills all the hard bones of Annan, and then the Tang army marches south, it will be easy to pocket Annan.

So, what exactly does Li Luo plan to suggest that Yuan Ting establish Chen Yiji as the king?

It is the king of Jiaozhou.

The king of Jiaozhou and the king of Annam are both kings, but the difference is known to the country bosses.

The king of Jiaozhou is just a title, the same title as the king of Yunnan and the king of Zhennan in the Yuan Dynasty.

But King Annam is the king of a country. Can this be the same?

Li Luo promised to recommend Chen Yiji as the new king, but he didn't say what kind of king he was.

Seeing that Chen Yu was so sure, Chen Yiji immediately became more relieved, and said with a smile: "Then the king has thanked the general for his recommendation and support." Brother Chen, this king is a person who remembers the old and remembers well, and when this king becomes the new king, he will definitely not treat Brother Chen badly. ”

Chen Yu pretended to be happy, "Then thank the king first." ”

Chen Yu's title changed from "His Royal Highness" to the king, which made Chen Yiji very useful when he heard it.

"Okay, then we'll leave in the evening." Chen Yiji said, "There are also a few ministers who will go with this king." ”

The Ximen guards were his subordinates, and they had long been persuaded by Chen Yiji to reduce the yuan together. Therefore, Chen Yiji did not reduce the yuan single-handedly, but with 3,000 forbidden troops.

In the middle of the night, while the city was still in chaos, Chen Yiji's motorvoy came to the West Gate. Lin Yannian, the guard of the West Gate, who had already received the order, immediately opened the West Gate, led his troops and horses, and escorted Chen Yiji to the north to find the Yuan army.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Chen Huang, who was so busy, that he got the news that Chen Yiji, Lin Yannian and several ministers had defected.

"Chen's scum! Rebels and thieves! Not worthy of the Taizong bloodline! Chen Huang was so angry that he almost vomited blood and fainted.

However, Chen Huang is not a deaf person after all, and he knows very well that he can't pursue Chen Yiji. There were originally only 20,000 forbidden troops in the city, Lin Yannian took 3,000 away, and there were 17,000 left.

This idea soldier really can't be consumed.

There was also a consideration that Chen Huang couldn't declare, so he didn't give the will to pursue Chen Yiji in the end.

In case Dayue can't turn the tables and his father and son are martyred, then Chen Yiji will descend to the yuan, get a Goryeo treatment, and keep the Chen family temple alive, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

After all, although this fifth brother is a shameless scum, his surname is Chen after all.

If you really want to get to that point, then if you don't pursue him today, it can be regarded as giving him a chance and giving Chen a chance.

Even if it is a retreat for the Chen Clan Temple.

Chen Huang is a Ming monarch in the history of Annan, and his mind and pattern are definitely not comparable to Chen Yiji. Some of the things he considered were also difficult for his courtiers to understand.

"Today, I know the difficulty of Xuanzong! Suzong Lingwu is self-reliant, and Xuanzong recognizes it. It's not that he can't abolish his emperor's title, but for the overall situation of countering the rebellion, he really doesn't want to hear it. Chen Huang sighed secretly, and his heart was desolate.

Early the next morning, after the Chen father and son sacrificed to the Taimiao, more than 100,000 people in Guli City braved the drizzle to go out of the southern city under the organization of the Annan Imperial Court, and the mighty "West Hunting" Tianchang Mountain.

This road is in a hurry, and at first glance it is a team of refugees.

Chen Huang and his son received the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, took the scarf and hat, and rode a horse.

Many people looked back at Guli City and burst into tears.

I don't know when I will return. I don't know if I can come back.

After crossing the Yellow River, Chen Huang stayed by the Ma River, looked back at the ancient rite city, in order to boost morale, facing the surging river, pretended to be heroic and chanted: "Tang Dao cut Chief Hu, look at Kyushu coldly." The ageless heroes are here, and they are across the river. ”

……

"I am the West Mountain Tiger, and the imperial capital is Pingyang. Now go back to the jungle, and roar again..."

…………

On the day of Chen Huang's hunting, Chen Rilian, who had been prepared, received the news that Chang'an Cang was robbed by the "Song Army" on the way to Guli City.

Following the fall of Kuaizhou, what he feared most happened again.

"It's really a disaster, it's a lot of disasters!" Chen Rilian looked up to the sky and sighed.

The robbery of grain in Chang'an warehouse made matters worse.

Now that the Emperor Taishang is hunting in the west, Guli City has become an empty city, and there is no point in him going back.

At this time, he was appointed as the governor of the internal and external military affairs, resisting the capture of the general, and making the festival. It seems to be a high and powerful position, but minus the soldiers and horses that followed the Emperor Taishang's hunt in the west, how many soldiers and horses can he command?

There are 30,000 forbidden troops and 150,000 township troops.

180,000 troops, it seems to be a lot. But Chen Rixuan knew very well that the morale of the Vietnamese army was already low and there was not much combat power left.

Not to mention the rest, when all the soldiers and horses are gathered, he will not have half a month's military rations.

How can this battle be fought!

Yuezhong is a place conducive to the galloping of cavalry, the Yuan army still has tens of thousands of tigers, wolves and iron horses, and there is plenty of food and grass, and it seems that there is no water and soil adaptation, and there is no detection of the epidemic in the Yuan army.

In the past, the miasma that was as fierce as a tiger for the Yuan army, and the water and soil were not adapted, but this time it seems to be ineffective.

With these 30,000 forbidden troops and more than 100,000 township troops, they fought a decisive battle with a 100,000 yuan army with tens of thousands of iron cavalry in Vietnam, and the opponent was the cunning Li Luo, and there was almost no chance of winning this battle.

He, the general who resisted the capture, was actually to drag the footsteps of the Yuan army and cover the chess pieces of the army and the people who transferred into the mountains.

However, he is not an outcast. On the contrary, at this moment, the entire Dayue knows that after the death of Chen Guojun, the king of Xingdao, only he Chen Rixian is qualified and weighty to be this chess piece!

Other generals, if they want to take on this mission, can't do it.

Ten days!

His army rations were only enough for 100,000 troops to eat for ten days, and the entire Vietnamese and Central Chinese people received a notice that it would take ten days to complete the major transfer.

He had to hold off the Yuan army for at least ten days.

All the six million Yue people have entered the mountains, and even if there is a shortage of food, there must be no way to survive.

"Herald! Ben Shuai is in the Tianchang Mansion, and all the soldiers and horses are coming to gather! If you don't do it within three days, cut it! Chen Rilian gave the order and set up camp on the spot.

"Your Highness, I heard that King Zhao defected last night, and it is rumored that he went north to join the Tartars." A general hurried to report to Chen Rilian, "He has no cavalry, he must not go far, do you want to chase him back?" ”

Chen Rilian's heart was cold, as if he had been stabbed.

This fifth brother has finally taken this step. Shame on your fathers and fathers!

"There's no need to chase, it's going to rain, and the mother wants to get married, so let him go." Chen Rixian smiled bitterly. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and it may end up being the only way out for Da Yue.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on it, and peace is not a blessing? Chen Rixian could only comfort himself like this.

On the same day, Li Luo, the general of the southern expedition who won a great victory in Kuaizhou, personally led an army of 90,000 yuan, a traitorous army of 50,000 Vietnamese, a total of 140,000 troops, people like tigers, horses like dragons, and marched south to Vietnam.

Under the galloping of more than 50,000 iron horses, the prosperity of the army really made the wind and clouds change.
