Zheng Zheng, the king of Xiding, said this, Zheng Hongkui, who was originally quite depressed, couldn't help but feel new hope.

If their own soldiers and horses can really help Zheng Zheng and destroy the Mo clan that occupies Gaoping in northern Annan with Zheng Zheng's army, it should not take too much time.

Then, Zheng Zheng will have no reason to refuse himself, so he can only obediently send troops to assist, and enter Guangxi with his soldiers and horses to attack the Tang army stationed in Guidong.

What's more, although Gaoping, where the Mo clan is based, is only a corner of the place, it is a very important place, this is located at the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi, how to really capture this place quickly, there is no doubt that it will cause a major threat and obstacle to the future actions of the Tang army.

Because, after the two Zheng coalition forces took Gaoping, they could completely enter Yunnan and fight against the soldiers and horses of the ninth town of the Tang army who were fighting in eastern Yunnan, and they could also enter western Guangxi from here, so as to completely isolate the combined attack of the soldiers and horses of the two towns of the Tang army.

It can even be said that if these two points are not achieved, with the prominent wedge of Gao Ping, the Tang army will be very afraid of its eastward advance in the future, and eventually make them chaotic without a fight, thus creating very favorable conditions for their own defeat of the Tang army.

Zheng Hongkui thought of this, a smile appeared on his face, he coughed lightly, and said slowly: "King Xiding, the conditions proposed by your country may not be impossible to consider, but if our army wants to attack Gaoping together with your troops, it needs to reach Annan by sea before it can act, in this case, the cost of this road will ......."

"Don't worry, angels! Your army has come to my Annam, and this harvest of silver, grain and grass can be borne by our country. In addition, as long as we can successfully defeat the Mo clan, our country should also give another heavy gift to reward your army for helping from afar. Seeing that Zheng Hongkui seemed to have the intention of agreeing, Zheng Zheng's eyes lit up.

Zheng Hongkui smiled: "So good! However, this matter is one yard at a time, and in the future, your army will attack the Tang Army in Guangxi together with our army, and our army will still give your army full support as the conditions just mentioned. ”

Zheng Zheng looked happy, nodded hurriedly, and said: "The angel's words are very reasonable!" In this case, the two countries will form an alliance and face the enemy together, and there will be no more objections. ”

Next, Zheng Zheng ordered a feast to entertain Zheng Hongkui and his party.

Subsequently, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zheng discussed in detail and finally agreed on a specific agreement for the two families to form an alliance and jointly resist the Tang Army.

The content of the agreement is mainly as follows;

1. After Annam formed an alliance with the Hongguang court, the Zheng family first sent 50,000 elite soldiers from the sea to Annam, and then joined up with the main force of Annam of 30,000 in Thang Long City to attack the Mo clan that occupied Gaoping.

2. The Zheng family sent troops to attack and destroy the Mo family, and Annan was responsible for all its money, food, and straw to ensure that the logistics of the army were safe.

3. As soon as the Mo clan was destroyed, Zheng Zheng sent 30,000 elite soldiers, together with Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses, to go to western Guizhou together, preparing to jointly attack the soldiers and horses of the second town of the Tang army stationed in eastern Guidong.

4. If the Tang army is annihilated and Zheng Zhilong's troops recapture Guangxi, Zheng Zhilong will fulfill the agreement and assign the territory of the Tang army occupied by Annan's soldiers and horses to Annan. Therefore, in the battle of attacking Guangxi, the money and food of the Annan army were all supplied by the Zheng army.

5. If there is further cooperation between the two militaries in the future, on this basis, detailed talks can be held in the next step.

The agreement was established, and Zheng Hongkui set off to return to China and go to Zheng Zhilong to return to his life.

After listening to Zheng Hongkui's narration, although Zheng Zhilong was slightly dissatisfied with Zheng Zheng's request for them to help Annan defeat the Mo clan first, he was quite satisfied with Zheng Hongkui's overall plan.

In these years, I can't bear the child, I can't fight the wolf, that Zheng Zheng, the king of Xiding, is also a character killed in blood and fire, and there is not enough benefits, how can this guy be tempted to agree.

So, Zheng Zhilong quickly agreed with Zheng Hongkui, and then he sent Zheng Hongkui as the main general and Zheng Cai as the deputy general, leading 50,000 elite soldiers to set off from Fuzhou by sea ship and go all the way to Annan.

Zheng Zhilong calculated clearly in his heart, and now the soldiers and horses of the second town of the Tang Army are 50,000 elite soldiers on the east road of Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Chenggong in the east, and 50,000 elite soldiers on the west road of Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai in the west, plus 30,000 elite soldiers in Annan as assistance, a total of 130,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of the second town of the Tang army who are only 40,000 people and stationed in three places together should be captured.

And for the elimination of the Mo clan who occupied Gaoping, Zheng Zhilong was even more confident.

After all, under the heavy pressure of the Zheng clan in Annan, the Mo regime has survived, like a candle in the wind. If his own 50,000 elites attack with him, I believe that it will be easy to capture such a small Gaoping, and it will not be a problem at all.

Just after Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zheng signed the alliance agreement, the details of the Mo family's placement in Shenglong also quickly reported the content of this agreement to Mo Jingyao, the head of the Mo family in Gaoping City.

Gaoping City, Mo's Palace.

The pavilion is high, the windows are shaded, the secluded room is curved, and the four are turned around. The red palace wall surrounds the palatial palace, and there is a garden outside the palace, with lush flowers and trees, and thousands of green bamboo poles. There is a lotus pond next to the garden, the green water floats, and the lotus fragrance blows on the face.

This is the palace built by the Mo family in Gaoping Mengquan, looking at this luxury, where is it like lying on the salary to taste the gall, cheer up the atmosphere? You must know that the Mo clan is only based on the land of Gaoping, and the finances are very tight, but they are not thrifty at all, and they spend a lot of money to build palaces and temples, which is really amazing.

In addition to this palace, the head of the Mo family also built Donglin Temple and Yuanming Temple in Mengquan, "making a T-character, the left and right corridors, and the back hall monk's room is in Yan" can be described as a poor and extravagant desire, sparing no financial resources and manpower.

It is precisely because of Mo's extravagance and erosion that they were the first in the history of the Li Dynasty to completely disappear. Even his descendants were not allowed to stay in Vietnam, and had to return to China to earn a living in various places, and in modern society, even Xinjiang has villages formed by the descendants of the Mo family.

Mo Jingyao, the head of the Mo family, was also taken aback after listening to the secret envoy's report, and an inexplicable chill rushed from his back to the top of his head.

He waved his hand in annoyance, and the envoy withdrew like a frightened rabbit.

"Humph! The Zheng family is despicable and reluctant, stealing power and abusing the people, which is already pointed out by Wanfu, and people and gods are angry. Such an unrighteous thief should be punished by everyone on this day, so as to solve my hatred. But I didn't expect that at this moment, this thief colluded with foreign enemies and wanted to preempt me! This, this really annoys me! Mo Jingyao slammed the desk angrily, his beard trembling with anger.

His son Mo Yuanqing also frowned when he heard his father's complaint, and then he said hesitantly: "Father, even if the Zheng family is hateful and hateful, how can they be scolded to death by us in vain?" I also hope that my father will dissipate his anger and nourish himself, and quickly find a way to deal with it. ”

Mo Jingyao sighed again: "Now that the situation is so critical, there is a good way to think of it for my father's safety!" Think of me Mo's, just according to this high level, the soldiers are outnumbered, how can I be the opponent of the two Zheng coalition forces! In my opinion, if these two thieves really come together to attack, for the sake of my father and you, I am afraid that the only way to save my life is to abandon the city and flee to the Ming Realm. ”

After Mo Jingyao finished speaking, he sighed again and again, with an extremely depressed expression.

It's just that at this time, his son Mo Yuanqing's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and said to Mo Jingyao urgently: "Father, since the Zheng family can ask for foreign aid, then why can't my Mo family follow suit?" You know, just north of our army's territory, there is an excellent helper! ”

"Oh? What do you mean? ”

"Father, think about it, the Zheng clan can join forces with Zheng Zhilong's department, so why can't we join forces with the Tang army in the north?" Mo Yuanqing's eyes were blazing, and his voice was vibrating: "Now in the Ming Kingdom, the Tang army is dominant, and the Tang King Li Xiao has two emperors in a row, and he is a very powerful minister, and his power is like an invisible monarch." Such a character and the soldiers under his rule should be the best external aid for my Mo clan. What's more, now that the Tang army is fighting with the local Tusi in the eastern part of Yunnan, which is very close to our Gaoping, if an envoy is sent to seek sincerity and give up conditions that are enough to make him tempted, then the Tang army will definitely move because of the benefits and agree to come to the aid of our country. As long as the Tang Army comes to help, everything will be worry-free for our country. ”

Mo Yuanqing's words made Mo Jingyao nod again and again, and a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face: "My son's strategy is very good." It's just that, in your opinion, what strategy can be used to impress the Tang army and let them smoothly send troops to help me Gaoping? ”

Mo Yuanqing groaned slightly, and then quickly replied: "Father, this gold and silver treasure is going to be given away vigorously. If you can't impress Tang Jun, we can learn from him the truth that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. ”

"Cold lips and cold teeth?"

"Yes, father, didn't you listen to what the secret envoy said, now the two Zheng coalition forces have taken down my Gaoping, but it's just that the Zheng family has no worries. Their real goal is still the Tang Army in Guangxi, and they want the two Zheng troops to join forces and destroy the Tang Army in Guangxi together. They made such a good calculation, we can tell the Tang army all of them, and then the Tang army will weigh the severity, and finally agree to enter our country to resist the attack of the two Zheng coalition forces. Mo Yuanqing said hurriedly.

Mo Jingyao nodded again and again, then slapped the table again, and made a determined appearance: "What the child said is very reasonable, then the father will send you as a representative to quickly enter Yunnan and negotiate with the Tang army." How can the Tang Army smoothly form an alliance with my Mo clan and join Gaoping, that kid should be credited! ”

Mo Yuanqing hurriedly bowed his hand: "Thank you, father, the child must set off as soon as possible and live up to his mission!" ”

Mo Yuanqing then collected a delegation of more than ten people, and searched the entire Gaoping, which made the people complain, and only then did he get two thousand taels of gold. He hurriedly said goodbye to his father Mo Jingyao, and went west with his envoy all the way to Yunnan.

Originally, Mo Yuanqing and his entourage planned to go to Kunming to ask for a meeting. However, it is also a coincidence that the Tang army at this time, under the leadership of its commander Huang Degong, led the troops to fight near Yuanjiang Mansion. This place is very close to Gaoping, so Mo Yuanqing and his party found the traces of the Tang army and immediately came to ask for a meeting.

So, in an open area outside the valley, Huang Degong, the commander of the Tang Army, officially met with Mo Yuanqing and his party.

Mo Yuanqing first reported to his home, and then hurriedly offered two thousand taels of gold, looking very deferential. Mo Yuanqing saw that Huang Degong and his subordinates had a good impression on their faces, so he immediately knelt on the ground and began to complain loudly.

"Lord Huang, my former ancestor of the Mo family has a will: the luck of the Mo family has ended, and the revival of the Li family is a few days. We should avoid Gaoping, cultivate power, bend to wait for the time, and wait for their destiny to return. Mo Yuanqing pretended to say this with a sad face, but secretly observed Huang Degong's expression and reaction: "Although the name of the Li Dynasty is right, the power belongs to the Zheng Mansion. People who love are more important, and their wind and breath are no different from the four Xuankuan and easy. At the same time, the politics of the ancestors Mingde and Taizheng have not been forgotten by those who are consolidated in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the fortune of heaven has been returned, but the hearts of the people have not been returned to me. Confucian scribes also often shovel and bury the light, isn't it to treat me Mo Zhongxing and respond to the world......"

Seeing Mo Yuanqing saying some meaningless nonsense, Huang Degong couldn't help but frown and interrupted him: "You don't talk in a wordy way, you will have something important to do, but you can pick and choose something important to say." ”

Mo Yuanqing's words were suppressed, and then he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Lord Huang, however, although my Mo clan is located in a corner of Gaoping, the Zheng clan is not dead, and it is really hateful to be bent on causing my Mo clan to die. Just some time ago, the Zheng clan formed an alliance with the Zheng Zhilong Department of the Hongguang Dynasty and prepared to attack our Gaoping together. Pity me in a corner of Gaoping, and there is no dangerous city to defend, if the two Zheng coalition forces come to attack, I am afraid that my Gaoping will be difficult to defend, and the Mo clan will be destroyed! ”

"Oh? Is it? It is rare that Annan Zheng and Zheng Zhilong have teamed up to attack your Mo family. A sneering smile appeared on Huang Degong's face: "So, in order to avoid the death of the Mo family, your Mo family master specially sent you here, hoping to let our army join your department to relieve the crisis, right?" ”

Mo Yuanqing couldn't help but blush when he saw Huang Degong say it so directly, but he rolled his eyes and immediately said: "Lord Huang, there is a way that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the two Zheng coalition forces really capture my Gaoping, it will also be a great threat to your army." Lord Huang, you think that if the two Zheng coalition forces successfully take Gaoping, it will be equivalent to firmly driving a wedge between Yunnan and Guangxi in your country, which will cause quite an inconvenient impact on your army's actions. And I heard that after the two Zheng coalition forces took Gaoping, the next target was the Tang army in Guangxi. They are going to enter Guixi from Gaoping, and then together with the Zheng family soldiers and horses in Guangdong, they will attack the Tang army in Guangxi in two places, if this is the case, then the soldiers and horses of your army in Guangxi will be ......."

Speaking of this, Mo Yuanqing deliberately paused, and he found that the face of Huang Degong, the commander of the Tang Army, had changed.

Mo Yuanqing couldn't help but be proud in his heart, he knew that his own words would definitely be listened to by Huang Degong, and he had to weigh the importance of coming to Gaoping.

Mo Yuanqing struck while the iron was hot, and said hurriedly: "Of course, the Celestial Dynasty is crusading against the army, the righteousness is in hand, and the soldiers are mighty, and the victory is expected." If the two armies can join forces and break Zheng in one fell swoop, this opportunity for my Mo's Zhongxing is also a great opportunity for your army to determine the situation in the southwest in one fell swoop! ”
