After Zhang Fu led the army to Annam, because the Vietnamese army was close to the river and the sea, which was not conducive to the land division, the generals were stationed in Xianyou County, Bac Giang Prefecture, and built warships to prepare to attack the Vietnamese army from the waterway.

Before the war, he summoned Mu Sheng and other generals to come to the meeting. After all the generals gathered, Zhang Fu shouted: "Take it for me." ”

The pro-army under the tent immediately rushed forward and tied up the commander Huang Zhonghuada. Huang Zhong exclaimed: "British duke, what crime have I committed, why did you tie me up? ”

Zhang Fu said coldly: "The defeat of the Shengqi River, the loss of the teacher and the loss of the land, your sin is unforgivable, and not killing you is not enough to calm the anger of the people and boost morale." ”

Huang Zhongchao Qianguo Gong Mu Sheng shouted: "British Gong Mingjian, only because the Duke of Qianguo left his post without permission at that time, and the dragons in the army were leaderless, there was such a big defeat, what does it have to do with the last general?" ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he hurriedly got up and saluted Zhang Fushi: "Just because I went out to patrol the village at that time, I didn't expect the enemy to come to rob the camp, it was my fault, please let the British public release Commander Huang." ”

Zhang Fu snorted, ignored Mu Sheng's invitation, waved his hand, and shouted to Huang Zhong: "As the capital secretary, you are responsible for the military affairs of a province, and you dare to quibble?" Push it out and cut it. ”

Zhang Fu's sergeant immediately pushed Huang Zhong out of the tent, and Huang Zhong shouted as he struggled: "As the capital secretary, the military attache of the second rank of the imperial court, you dare to kill me without a holy decree?" ”

The generals looked at each other, afraid that the matter would be big, so they all stepped forward to persuade each other: "The British public is angry, although Huang Dusi has had it, but there is no edict, he killed the general, and it is not in accordance with the law, please spare his life for the time being, and after the request, it is not too late to punish him." ”

Zhang Fu ordered the seal officer to hold high the seal of the general and shouted: "I am ordered to conquer Annan, if the emperor comes in person, His Majesty allows me to act cheaply, if there is anyone who does not obey the order, although the prince will not be pardoned, the situation is a command." ”

The people will hear it. All of them changed color, and they no longer dared to speak.

After a while, the pro-army presented Huang Zhong's bloody head, and Zhang Fuming hung it at the gate of the camp to show the public, in order to set an example. As a result, the officers and men of the whole battalion were vigilant and fearful, and no one dared to use their lives.

Zhang Fu sent a sentry to reconnoiter the movements of the Vietnamese army, and found that the generalissimo of the Vietnamese army, Ruan Ding, led tens of thousands of troops to guard the Taiping Bridge of the Ludu River in Nance Prefecture, which was a barrier for the Great Yue State.

Zhang Fu led his army to the north of Taipingqiao. Deng Ding ordered his younger brother Jinwu general Ruan Shi to lead 20,000 people, set up a fence on the opposite bank, and lined up more than 600 ships to resist the Ming army.

After Zhang Fu led Zhu Rong and other generals to reconnoiter the enemy's water village by boat, his face was gloomy, and he said to the generals: "The Vietnamese army's water village is tight, and it is difficult to break the enemy for a while, what are the generals' clever plans?" Let's hear it. ”

Zhu Rong sighed: "It's a pity that we are not Zhuge Liang, and we can't borrow the east wind, otherwise a fire will burn the Vietnamese army's water village to ashes." ”

Commander Chen Xu said with a smile: "Commander Zhu, our army is on the north bank, if you can borrow the wind, you should also borrow the northwest wind, otherwise our army will be burned to ashes." ”

When the generals heard this, they all laughed: "Commander Chen is really good at laughing, this is the weather in August, how did the northwest wind come." ”

Zhang Fu frowned and said: "When I was leaving, Your Majesty told me to fight quickly, now it is August, so the northwest wind should not enter the winter, how can this wait?" ”

Zhu Rong comforted him and said: "Don't worry, this battle on the river, the heaviest wind direction, the southeast wind is blowing these days, which is not conducive to me, when the wind is calm, I will fight again, and I will definitely be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang Fu sighed and said, "That's all there is to it." ”

In the Vietnamese army camp opposite, Ruan Dinh also discussed with his brother Nguyen Shi how to fight the enemy.

Ruan Shidao: "Brother, taking advantage of the tight southeast wind now, our army is in the upper hand, I will lead the army to kill, and I will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army." ”

Ruan Ding shook his head and said, "No." The newly assembled crowd of our army, without a battle formation, is only conducive to defense and is not conducive to attacking. Moreover, the Ming army had excellent firearms, and most of our ships were converted from fishing boats, so how could they match them. The Ming army came from afar, and the grain and grass were all dependent on the country, and it was difficult to transfer and not conducive to a long-term war. As long as our army holds the fence and does not fight, what can the Ming army do to me? When they run out of food, I will cover up and kill them, and I will surely win a great victory. ”

Ruan Shi nodded, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "Brother is clever, and the famous generals of the ancient times are nothing more than that." ”

Ruan Ding waved his hand and said, "Ashamed, ashamed." Brother has won the prize. ”

Ruan Shi was a little unconvinced: "Brother, Ruan Kang's kid has not made an inch, how did you make him the emperor." ”

Ruan Ding said: "Brother, you don't know, this is also my idea." On that day, I rescued Nguyen Kham on the Tao River outside Thang Long City, and he told me the ins and outs, and at that time the Lê clan was in power, and I was afraid of causing trouble, so I took him to Hue to hide on the Hai Van Ridge, thinking that if the Lê clan pursued us closely, we would flee to the Cham country. Unexpectedly, Chen Tianping was later caught by the Li family, Ling Chi was executed, and the descendants of the Chen family were killed. Later, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Li family, and Zhang Bang visited the descendants of the Chen family. As soon as I had an idea, I asked Ruan Kang to pretend to be Chen Tianping, ready to cheat two Qian Huahua. Before we could act, news came from the city of Shunzhou that the Ming army had killed more than a dozen people pretending to be descendants of the Chen family. The matter has come to this point, I don't do it, I don't stop fighting, I pull up the banner of the king of Rinan, and let Ruan Kang pretend to be Chen Tianping, anyway, no one knows him, and I don't want to make a big noise, so that. After we drive away the Ming army, I will let that Ruan Kangchan stay with me, and I will also taste what it is like to be an emperor. ”

Ruan Shi suddenly realized and said, "Brother, if you become an emperor, you can't forget my younger brother." ”

Ruan Ding said: "That's natural, and I will make you Tongping Zhangshi at that time." ”

On August 15, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon was spent, and the generals came to the Chinese army tent to celebrate the festival with Zhang Fu.

Zhu Rong sighed: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time of reunion, but we are in this foreign country, fighting endlessly, it is really 'looking up at the bright moon and bowing our heads to think of our hometown.'" ’”

Chen Xu still teased him and said, "If you want to return home as soon as possible, pray for a northwest wind from the moon." ”

Zhu Rong really fell to his knees with a thud and prayed to the moon: "Fairy Chang'e is above, accept my worship." Zhu Rong, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, begs you to send the northwest wind as soon as possible, so that I can break the enemy army, so that we can return to our hometown as soon as possible and reunite with our families. With that, he knocked his head on the ground three times.

When the generals saw it, they all laughed dumbly, thinking that he was honest and cute.

Suddenly, the wind direction changed, from southeast to northwest, and the flag in front of the tent was rattled.

Zhang Fu was overjoyed when he saw this, stepped forward to help Zhu Rong up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you can break the enemy in this battle, you should be the first credit." ”

Immediately, he raised his tent to gather all the generals and sent troops to the other side overnight.

At that time, the northwest wind was urgent, Zhang Fudu led Chen Xu, Zhu Rong, Yu Rang, Fang Zheng and other generals to advance by boat, rockets flew together, artillery arrows soared, the Vietnamese army on the other side was also in the Mid-Autumn Festival, was defenseless, the Ming army artillery fire fell in the village, the fence and the ships were ignited, the fire soared into the sky, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, and the Vietnamese army was in a mess when it landed.

The Vietnamese army scattered and fled, was unable to form an army, and was beheaded more than 3,000 ranks. The Ming army captured more than 200 generals such as Ruan Shi and captured more than 400 ships. Ruan Ding fled on horseback.

Zhang Fu led his troops to continue southward, and he was determined to make Jiaozhou, Beijiang, Langjiang, Xin'an, Jianchang, and Zhenman.

Zhang Fu led the navy to chase to the mouth of the Taiping Sea, Ruan Ding collected more than 300 warships to meet the battle, divided into three teams, all of them were pirates, brave and ruthless, stubborn, rampage, the Ming army could not resist, slightly retreated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Fu shouted, personally led the boat, rushed to its backbone, Ruan Ding saw that Zhang Fu was not afraid of death, led the Chinese army to retreat, Zhang Fu rushed into the enemy formation, but the two groups of enemy ships on the left and right outflanked him, surrounded him in the center, the fire and arrows were fired, and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties.

Zhang Fu ordered the Ming army ships to hook up with the Vietnamese army, and led the crowd to jump onto the enemy ship and fight to the death. Enemy ship artillery fire was ineffective. From noon to dusk, the enemy army was broken and 75 people were captured.

Then Zhang Fu marched into Nghe An Province, and the enemy generals surrendered one after another.

Ruan Ding fled back to Thanh Hoa, and cried to Ruan Kang that the Ming army was strong and it was difficult for him to resist, Ruan Kang was stunned after hearing this, and scolded Ruan Ding: "I am a servant of the Chen family, but you let me be the emperor, and now the army is defeated, how can I be good?" ”

Ruan Ding thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, those Jianwen relics are resourceful, why don't you invite them to discuss countermeasures?" ”

Ruan Kang hurriedly ordered someone to invite Zhu Yunwen and others into the palace to ask questions.

Huang Zhan said dissatisfiedly: "When His Majesty the Emperor uses us, he is a guest, and when he is not in use, he will abandon it like a shoe." Even if it is a clay figure, it has three points of mud. ”

Ruan Kang said with a smile on his face: "If I can retreat from the Ming army this time, I would like to divide the land of the three mansions and the masters as you please." I don't interfere. ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up and asked, "Which three mansions?" ”

Ruan Kang said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the three prefectures of Xuanhua, Taiyuan, and Langshan that border the Ming Dynasty. After the masters had these three prefectures, they had a place to enter, either to the north to attack Yunnan or to the east to attack Guangxi. ”

Zhang Shixing sneered and said, "Your Majesty, you have a good idea, now these three mansions are in the hands of the Ming army." ”

Ruan Kang smiled and said, "I can borrow troops from you." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "I finally trained more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and after being taken away by you, I lost everything. ”

Ruan Ding said on the side: "Chen Zhi, you don't need to say much about the past, the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the Ming army, otherwise our Dayue Kingdom will perish, and it will not be good for you." Do you still want to go into exile? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was silent.

After a while, Huang Zhan said slowly: "For today's plan, we can only use the strategy of delaying the army." ”

Ruan Kang asked, "What kind of plan to delay the army, please discuss it in detail with Master Kongyin." ”

Huang Zhan said: "The emperor sent an envoy to the camp of the Ming army, saying that you are a descendant of the Chen family, and you are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and ask the Ming Dynasty to canonize and dismiss the army twice." The Ming army is far away, which is not conducive to a long-term battle, maybe we can stop the war, and we will wait for the opportunity to move. ”

Ruan Kang said: "Then bother Master Empty Seal to go to the Ming army camp to negotiate peace." ”

Huang Zhan excused himself and said, "It's not proper, you should send Ruan Cheng there." ”

So Ruan Kang called Ruan Cheng over, and Huang Zhan told him that if Zhang Fu, the commander of the Ming army, refused to negotiate peace, you would go with him to go through the history of the Yuan army's three expeditions to Annam, and finally retreat, and he would naturally give in.

After Ruan Cheng heard this, he took the order and left. He came to the camp of the Ming army, handed over Ruan Kang's request for a seal, and explained the intention, Zhang Fu looked at it, and said coldly: "After the people searched for the Chen family, they disappeared, and now where did a Chen Tianping appear, I am afraid that it will be a fraud." The prince of his own country was ordered to seek out the thief, and he did not know anything else. If the lord surrenders, he will carry the coffin in white clothes to the military gate to ask for surrender, and if he fights, he will gather the people to fight, and we will decide the winner. The rest don't ask. ”

After Ruan Cheng heard this, he said to Zhang Fuyan: "Guogong knows that when the Yuan Dynasty was at its peak, it had crusaded against Annam three times, and all of them were defeated. Why? ”

When Zhang Fu heard this, he was in awe and said, "Honorable envoy, please speak, this prince is willing to hear the details." ”
