"Another good news?" Yun Xi was a little surprised this time. He had already received a good news just now, how could he have another good news now?

With doubts in his heart, Yun Xi took the sealed box from Wang Xi's hand and asked, "Who sent it?" ”

"Official, the soldiers who heard the order said that General He sent people to Guangzhou City for 600 miles." Wang Xi replied.

"He Rong? He's moving, too? Yes, he has been adrift at sea for more than forty days, and it is indeed time for some movement. ”

But having said that, Yun Xi didn't expect much from He Rong. He Rong's department was located on the coast of Annam, and the purpose of the original assignment of this route of soldiers was to block the way for the Hu father and son to flee south, and they were not expected to make much contribution; Moreover, the news that came on the 23rd of the lunar month was that He Rong was still floating on the sea, but what great achievements could be made in a few days.

"He Rong has probably successfully landed on the coast of Annan, and he has sent a message back to reassure me." Yun Xi said to Zhu Youstew.

But when you open it, Yun Xi's face quickly changed, from very calm to full of joy.

I saw that the fold read: "......, in the early morning of the 24th day of the lunar month, the minister led his troops to land in Pingzhang, and then went south to Xingxian Port, seized it, suppressed 3,000 soldiers in Annan, collected 2,000, and captured five cannons. ”

"Chen Yuanzhi, the chief general of Annan who surrendered, reported to the minister: 'The puppet emperor Hu Hancang is in the city of Yi'an, and there are only 20,000 defenders in the city, so the general should quickly march to attack it. If it is late, the puppet emperor Hu Hancang will detect the landing of the heavenly soldiers, and he will recruit soldiers from all over the city to defend the city, and it will be difficult to settle down. ’”

When the ministers heard this, they could raise 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses to march day and night to the city of Yi'an, and rush to the city at noon on the 25th, and immediately attack the city. The Annan soldiers defending the city were not strong-willed, and the whole army was defeated in the evening, and our army occupied the city. ”

"Hu Hancang, the puppet emperor of Annan, wore ordinary people's clothes after the city was broken, with the intention of being confused, and was discovered by Chen Yuanzhi the next day, and our army has captured his people alive. The minister dared to ask His Majesty whether to send this person to Guangzhou City, or to stay in Yi'an for the time being. ”

“……”

Before he finished reading this letter, his face was full of joy. It's really worth rejoicing, He Rong's troops not only captured the city of Yi'an, but also captured Hu Hancang, the current monarch of Annan. Even though Hu Hancang does not have much power, and the state affairs are still controlled by Hu Jichen, Hu Hancang is the nominal monarch of Annan at this time after all, and it is of great significance to capture him alive, which can greatly deter the civil and military officials of Annan who are still resisting.

What's more, Yi'an City has been captured, and the road for Hu Jichen to lead his troops south has been blocked, as long as the western capital is captured again, Annan can be said to be finished.

Yun Xi couldn't believe this good news for a while.

Zhu Youstew, who was sitting beside him, saw that Yun Xi was first indifferent after receiving the recital, then his expression turned to happiness, and finally to suspicion, he was puzzled, he glanced at the open recital, and then said happily: "Hu Hancang has been captured alive now?" So the battle for Annam is coming to an end? ”

"Now the things that the imperial brother just ordered really have to be done quickly, but I just said that there is no need to be in a hurry. He Rong is worthy of being the hero of the Ming Dynasty, although he has lost the battle before, but as long as he pays attention to it, the Annan soldiers are just chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable. ”

After listening to Zhu Youstew's words, Yun Xi came back to his senses. Even if He Rong was in a hurry to show his face in front of him, he would never dare to spread such a panic, Hu Hancang must have been captured by him before he dared to report like this. Then he smiled: "You really have to hurry." ”

The two of them talked and laughed a few words, and Yun Xi lowered his head and pressed his mind to continue to watch the twists and turns. After seeing it, he wrote: "......, the commander of the mahout guard, Tongzhi, and the military general of Fusang, I also took the lead when the army attacked the city, and was the first to climb the head of the city of Yi'an, slashing and killing countless soldiers of Annan, and dozens of wounds in the body did not retreat. The army captured Yi'an, and I also contributed to it. ”

"General Cao Tai, commanding the troops to defend the north of the city, breaking through the reinforcements of Annan, also made great contributions; Wang Hongming, the mahout elephant guard, and Liu Xun, the hundred,...... "are all written about the meritorious soldiers of this war."

After reading all the book, Yun Xi turned his head and said to Wang Xi: "After you go back, let Hu Yan draw up the decree immediately." ”

"He Rong, the deputy general of the left army of the Annan expeditionary army, broke through the city of Yi'an, and captured Hu Hancang, the monarch of Annan,......, I was very relieved. It is hoped that Aiqing will make another meritorious service, pacify Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Ha Tinh and other places as soon as possible, and end the battle of Annam. ”

"The commander of the mahout guard also knew that I was coming, and made great contributions to the army's capture of Yi'an City, and I added his command and envoy to reward him with gold and silver."

After saying the rewards for Cao Tai and the others, Yun Xi finally said: "When the army pacifies Annan, I will have a reward according to your merits." ”

"Let Hu Yan polish it again, tomorrow morning, that's it, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I won't arrange them to do things, you go back and write down these words that Shu said, and let him show them tomorrow."

Wang Xi agreed, took the two letters from Yun Xi's hand, and bowed and retreated.

At this time, Yun Wei, who was sitting on his left hand, also congratulated him: "Congratulations to the official family, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have captured Yi'an and captured Hu Hancang alive!" The battle for Annam seemed to be coming to an end. ”

But after that, whether to add Zanyi as the monarch of Annan still has to be considered. The Chen dynasty has always been loyal to the Ming dynasty, and it is more appropriate to search for a descendant of the Chen dynasty as the monarch. Although the near branch has been killed by the Hu father and son, there must still be a remnant of the far branch, and a wise man can be selected as the king. ”

Yun Wei was supposed to return to Beijing for the New Year this year, but Yun Xi called him to Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year with him, Yun Wei only stayed in the capital for less than two days, then left the capital and went south, and came to Guangzhou on the 28th of the lunar month.

He prides himself on being a Confucian admirer, and of course Hu Jichen is very opposed to such a rebellious thing, and he also supports Yunxi to send troops to Annan, but he opposes the establishment of Zhu Zanyi as the monarch of Annan.

Yun Xi's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Annan Chen Dynasty, all the people who are listed in the royal family genealogy were killed by Hu Jichen, and most of the so-called descendants of the Chen Dynasty who remain are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is difficult to determine whether they are really descendants of the Chen Dynasty. ”

"Besides, Annan has always envied my Ming Dynasty, and crowning Zanyi as the king is just so that they can bathe in the edification of my Ming Dynasty, isn't it beautiful?"

After hearing Yun Xi's words, Yun Xi wanted to debate again, but Yun Xi didn't have the heart to debate with him, so he left here in a hurry and sat down next to the others.

At this time, everyone already knew about He Rong's capture of Yi'an City and the capture of Hu Hancang, and they congratulated Yun Xi one after another, and Yun Xi also accepted it with a smile.

At the beginning of the day, the Spring Festival Gala, which lasted for an hour and a half, ended, Yun Xi said a few more jokes to everyone and left here.
