After traveling through the Miaoling Mountains in central Guizhou for more than a month, coupled with more than ten battles with the Ming army chasing behind him, An Kun led the Shuixi coalition army composed of Yi and Miao people to suffer great losses, and now there are less than 30,000 people left. But everything is not a problem, Anshun City is in front of you, and those Ming troops can fight at the end of the crossbow, as long as they enter the city to get supplies, they can defeat those Ming troops in turn.

An Kun thinks very well, but there is often a gap between the ideal and the reality. As soon as An Kun saw the Anshun city wall, he saw that the gate of Anshun was wide open, and tens of thousands of troops rushed out of it.

An Kun is very familiar with the guards in Guizhou, and knows that the guards of the Ming army in Guizhou are not well equipped, most of them are farmers, and those who can really fight are those who command and garrison. But these Ming troops who came out of Anshun City were not like that, they were all wearing bright armor, holding shining weapons, and the composition of the soldiers was all young and strong, and none of them were over forty years old, this was not the Guizhou Ming Army in An Kun's memory.

The Ming army that came out of Anshun City was the army led by Li Chengdong, Li Chengdong had already hit Guangnan Mansion in Yunnan, and the next step was to go straight to Kunming, Sun Kewang's old nest, who knew that the emperor had an edict asking him to go to Guizhou to help in the war. Li Chengdong received the edict and he couldn't help it, the subordinates he led were all Zhu Hongsan's cronies, if he didn't listen to the emperor's orders, these guys could kill themselves and go to Guizhou alone, there was no way Li Chengdong had to turn the direction of the attack and enter Guizhou from Guangnan Mansion through Anlongsi in Guangxi.

Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang was originally in Anlong, but when he learned that the new army in Guangdong was coming from behind, he had no choice but to flee again with his family, and this time he went directly to Yunnan and went to Kunming. Sun Kewang was overjoyed to learn that Zhu Youlang had arrived, and immediately took control of the emperor and established himself as the king of Qin. Then Li Dingguo was named the king of Xining, and Liu Wenxiu was the king of Funan, and under the advice of his staff, he wanted to imitate Cao Cao's method of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" to subdue Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others.

Li Dingguo's original strength was stronger than Sun Kewang, but his descendants suffered great losses in the battle of Guangzhou, and after fleeing from Guangzhou, he returned to Chuxiong Mansion in Yunnan, slowly accumulating strength, and was noncommittal to Sun Kewang's order to let him go to Qujing to set up defenses.

Sun Kewang saw that Li Dingguo did not listen to him, so he had no choice but to transfer back Liu Wenxiu's 80,000 troops in Sichuan, and stationed them in Qujing to prevent the Ming army from Guizhou from entering Yunnan.

Li Chengdong got the secret report of Jinyiwei, and Sun Kewang of Yunnan was on guard, and sighed in his heart: Originally, he wanted to attack Kunming and eliminate Sun Kewang in one fell swoop, but now the emperor let him go to Anshun, this time Sun Kewang can be given time to prepare, and it will be many times more difficult to subdue Yunnan at that time. You must know that the Great Western Army has basically suffered no losses now, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers, while there are only 50,000 Ming troops under his command, so this battle is really difficult to fight.

But there is no way to complain, although Li Chengdong is the commander of the expedition to Yunnan, his officers are all Zhu Hongsan's henchmen, Li Chengdong had to take these 50,000 horses to attack Anshun according to the emperor's wishes.

Li Chengdong captured Anshun in early August, Emperor Yongli ran away, there were only less than 3,000 defenders in Anshun City, Anshun Zhizhou saw that there were tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and did not make any resistance at all, and directly opened the city and surrendered.

What followed was more than two months of waiting, and it was not until October that Li Chengdong received news from the emperor's Jinyi Wei secret agent that the Yi people were finally coming.

Li Chengdong's men and horses are all new forces, and their swords, guns and armor are far superior to these Shuixi coalition forces, and they immediately defeated these exhausted Yi people as soon as they came into contact.

An Kun saw that there was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and he sighed and was about to commit suicide with a knife. But his clan uncle An Chongsheng stopped An Kun.

"An Kun, you can't die! If these Han people want to subdue me Shuixi, they must need people to govern the Yi people, my An clan has been in Shuixi for thousands of years, and the Han emperor will also use your prestige as a consolation envoy in Shuixi! ”

"But uncle, now that we have been defeated, what else do we have to negotiate with the Han people?"

"Millions of Yi people in Shuixi are the conditions, no matter how powerful the Han people are, can they still kill all the Yi people? It's not that I want to change the land in Shuixi. An Kun, it's better to be a rogue official than to die now! ”

As long as you can live, that one wants to die? An Kun listened to what An Chongsheng said and made sense, so he had no choice but to pass on the order to let his subordinates put down their weapons and surrender to the Ming army.

At this time, the 45,000 musketeers led by Zhu Hongsan also caught up, and joined forces with Li Chengdong's 50,000 troops to surround the remaining 30,000 Shuixi Union regiments.

Zhu Hongsan has had a very hard time in the past month and a half, the roads in the mountainous areas of Guizhou are difficult, and in some places horses cannot pass through, so Zhu Hongsan has no choice but to hand over his horses to the artillery unit to pull the cannons, and he can only walk through the Miaoling Mountains. Now seeing that the Shuixi coalition forces in the encirclement have all surrendered on their knees, Zhu Hongsan can't help but be happy in his heart, as long as this group of Yi people is eliminated, the rest is to deal with those Yi people, and his southwest strategy will be half successful.

At this time, Li Chengdong of Anshun learned that the emperor was coming, and hurriedly brought his deputy marshal Jin Daoming and several senior officers to meet Zhu Hongsan.

Although Zhu Hongsan was embarrassed, he was in good spirits, and when he saw Li Chengdong coming, he smiled and said: "Lao Li, you have half of the credit for the success of this siege!" ”

Li Chengdong now has his life in the hands of Zhu Hongsan, and he no longer dares to talk to the emperor like before, and when he heard the emperor laughing with himself, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Where, the subordinates are acting on the orders of the emperor, and the credit is all the emperor's majesty!" ”

"Lao Li, you just like to tell the truth, I like you, haha!" Zhu Hongsan shamelessly took all the credit.

Li Chengdong laughed twice with Zhu Hongsan, and then asked, "Your Majesty, now that the Yi people have surrendered, what should we do next?" ”

"Well, that's it! Escort that An Kun up first, and then Lao Li, you take your army to escort the remaining 30,000 Yi people to... Zhu Hongsan looked up and saw that there was a small river running through the city outside Anshun City, pointed to the small river and said: "Take it to the edge of the river, and cut off your head and put it to death!" ”

Li Chengdong was originally a murderous demon king, and the three massacres in Jiading were written by him back then, and now he has killed more than 30,000 people at all. However, Emperor Zhu Hongsan's words made Hou Fangyu very disgusted.

Hou Fangyu was deeply educated by Confucianism, and there was no way to kill or wound him in the war, but now the slaughter of surrendered soldiers is really hurtful.

Hou Fangyu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why did those Yi people kill them since they surrendered? They are also the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Hongsan frowned when he heard Hou Fangyu say this, he was very disgusted that someone opposed his order, the duty of the Military Aircraft Department is to kneel and accept the record, you just need to carry it out, how can there be so much nonsense. In the past, Zhang Jiayu and Zhang Huangyan of the military aircraft department were like this, but you Hou Fangyu was bold? Dare to question the emperor's orders?

But Zhu Hongsan couldn't reprimand Hou Fangyu yet, after all, Hou Fangyu was his brother-in-law, and he couldn't get over it if he broke Li Xiangjun's face.

Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to explain patiently: "Chaozong, now our army is short of food, and the number is limited, I really can't afford to support so many people, plus these Yi people have been fighting with our army for a long time, and the hatred is as deep as the sea, it is not at all something that can be influenced by the Huairou policy, Chaozong, you don't care!" ”

"But Your Majesty, isn't there still military rations in Anshun City?" Hou Fangyu knew that what the emperor said was completely far-fetched, and the number of our army was limited? Now there are 100,000 horses outside the city, and there are less than 30,000 Yi talents, are you afraid that you can't control the Yi people?

Zhu Hongsan heard that Hou Fangyu was still arguing, and said angrily: "Okay, Chaozong, you are my military aircraft, not the imperial historian, do your own thing!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked Li Chengdong to go down to arrange.

At this time, An Kun and a few toasts were pressed up by their hands tied behind their backs, and Zhu Hongsan smiled when he saw An Kun coming: "An Xuan consolation, how is it?" You can't beat my Ming Imperial Army! ”

An Kun's life was in Zhu Hongsan's hands at this time, and he didn't dare to refute, so he had to kneel down and say: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister is really bewitched, so he can't help himself to fight a decisive battle with His Majesty, please spare Your Majesty!" ”

"Oh? Someone is bewitching you? It's the one, let's hear it! ”

An Kun couldn't help it, gritted his teeth and said: "It's the minister's uncle An Chongsheng, he tricked the minister into sending troops!" ”

An Chongsheng was stunned behind An Kun, and it took a long time to react, and scolded: "An Kun, you brute, don't you have to raise troops to recapture the Lu clan?" Why is it counted on Lao Tzu? ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at An Chongsheng, who was thunderous, and didn't speak, just waved his hand, and four brocade guards rushed out behind him, cutting off An Chongsheng's head with a knife in front of An Kun.

An Kun saw An Chongsheng's bloody head and the dead eyes, and silently thought in his heart: Uncle, there is no way, in order to survive, I have to betray you!

After killing An Chongsheng, Zhu Hongsan asked the toasts behind An Kun: "Where are you toasts, and why did you send troops against me?" ”

At this time, a young man on the right of An Kun shouted: "Your Majesty, I am Lu Yinglong, the son of Zhaotong Tusi, and Lu Riguo is my sister, my sister!" ”

Of course, Zhu Hongsan knew who Lu Riguo was, it was An Kun's wife who was robbed, and he slept with Zhu Hongsan for a few months.

"Oh? So you're my brother-in-law? Why did you send troops against me? ”

Lu Yinglong hurriedly said: "I don't know that my sister and Your Majesty have a deep relationship, it's just that my father Luguang was provoked by An Kun, so he sent soldiers to join the Shuixi Alliance, the emperor's brother-in-law, it's all An Kun's fault!" ”

An Kun heard that Lu Yinglong had buckled all the basins on his head in order to survive, his face turned white with anger, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhu Hongsan laughed happily when he saw that these Yi people were fighting in the nest in order to survive.
