After being contacted by the people sent by Xiao Ruxun, Chen Lu knew that Xiao Ruxun was not dead.

Xiao Ruxun not only did not die, but had secretly sneaked back to Burma Town, and was planning to go north to defeat Shen Yi.

Xiao Ruxun also told him about Shen Zheng's conspiracy to abolish the emperor, as well as the current emperor's situation and so on.

Including his own situation.

Xiao Ruxun warned Chen Luan, the relationship in your body cannot be erased, the best ending is to return to your hometown, and the worst ending is unimaginable, is this what you need?

Join me! This is the only way, let's join forces to go north, take Guangdong, and then raid Shen Cheng's hometown from the sea, capture his relatives and relatives, give him a little color, and then cut off the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, give him a heavy punch, and in the future, we can continue to go north, capture Tianjin Wei, and directly surround the Beijing division and kill the national thieves to rescue Your Majesty and make an immortal achievement!

You can get anything you want!

Xiao Ruxun knew that Chen Lan liked money, so he promised to send him money, knowing that he liked to be an official, then he would give him the wish to be an official, all in all, he hoped that Chen Lan would join his team, clean up Shen Cheng together, and take his fate into his own hands.

Chen Lan was silent for a long time after reading the letter.

"When will your Xiao Dashuai's sailor go north?"

He asked the envoy.

"It depends on when Admiral Chen is ready."

"Let Xiao Dashuai send troops, and I will help him catch Dai Yao and take Guangdong! But there are a few people, I am going to kill with my own hands. ”

"Yes."

Chen Lin joined.

Cen Dalu's side can't be persuaded by the way of the general, he is not a general, he is a toast, but he simply has a good relationship with Xiao Ruxun, he has fought together and established a relationship of mutual trust.

So Xiao Ruxun promised him money and food, and even promised him his future official position, telling him that Xiao Ruxun could win Yunnan and Guangdong, but he needed to lead his wolf soldiers to help Xiao Ruxun take Guangxi, and then assist in the Northern Expedition.

For these Tusi, the improvement of political treatment and the acquisition of money and food are the greatest needs, of course, they are not without brains, they know the strength of the Ming court, although Xiao Ruxun explained the reason, but Cen Dalu could not promise him through these few words, he is responsible for the safety of the entire tribe.

So Cen Dalu's reply to Xiao Ruxun was - I can't help you now, you can't say anything, I have too many people to worry about, but I won't go out to fight you, if you can really take Yunnan and Guangdong and prove your strength to me, I will send troops to help you.

With my Cen someone's prestige and face in Guangxi, it is not difficult to help you occupy Guangxi.

Of the four secret letters, Xiao Ruxun received three affirmative replies and one wait-and-see reply, which was much better than expected, and as a result, his plan to go north was basically successful.

"Ji Xin, aren't you worried that they will leak your plan and report you after they reject your offer?"

Yuan Huang was puzzled by Xiao Ruxun's mysterious self-confidence.

"The situation of the Ming generals is too bad, what good impression can they have on the civilian officials? Besides, they all understand the truth of the death of the lips and the cold teeth, and they also have the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox, if I fail, will they have a good end? They are not stupid.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if they want to denounce me, it doesn't matter, I have sent more than one person to contact them, if they denounce me, I can first Shen always know that he launched an attack before, but he will encounter a little resistance, and the men and horses in their hands have a few catties and taels, I am clear. ”

Yuan Huang didn't speak anymore, and looked at Xiao Ruxun with satisfaction, adding a little confidence to the military action of the Northern Expedition to Fengtian.

On June 23, Chen Yongbin's letter of persuasion was delivered to Nan'an, Burma, and the messenger who delivered the letter was captured and locked up by the soldiers of the Zhennan Army.

Tell Chen Yongbin to start a war if he wants to, and the Burmese town will never give in to Shen Yiyi.

On the 30th, Chen Yongbin received a reply from Yuan Huang, sighed, and knew that this battle had to be fought, just at this time Yunnan's war preparations were almost completed, 22,000 soldiers were ready to go, and the people who transported grain were almost ready, so Chen Yongbin gave an order, and the army was mobilized.

On 1 July, Chen Yongbin entrusted the government affairs to his subordinate officials, and then led his army to Yaoguan.

On 3 July, Chen Yongbin received news on the march that the Zhennan Army had sent troops to attack Tusi on the Yunnan border.

On 6 July, Chen Yongbin led his army to the Yaoguan area.

At the same time, Chen Yongbin's outpost reported to him that the Zhennan Army had been found more than ten miles ahead.

"The rebels are extremely combative, and they have been stationed in Burma for many years, and they are extremely familiar with the terrain of Burma.

I intend to personally lead a group of men and horses to guard Yao Pass, Deng Zongbing led the troops to garrison Panzhihuadi, and Liu Zongbing led the troops to assist in the defense, and the mutual horns made the rebels unable to attack, the two general soldiers, what do you think? ”

Chen Yongbin camped in Yaoguan and held a military meeting.

Deng Zilong and Liu Wei glanced at each other.

How can he do it if he doesn't get out? Guarding the gate, we can't take him down directly, can we?

So how about we sing a double reed together and let him play?

Good! That's it!

After years of competition and cooperation, the two have cultivated a considerable tacit understanding, and a double reed is sung.

"Back to Futai, the last general thinks that the strategy of Futai is very good, in the face of such a situation, our army should hold on, the rebels have strong combat effectiveness, and the equipment is not bad, and now they take the initiative to attack, compared with the inevitable reliance.

However, Burma is poor and weak, lack of food and food, as long as we stick to Yao Pass so that the rebels cannot pass, it will not take a month, the rebels will inevitably run out of food and retreat, and our army will advance again, and it will be able to go down with a drum! ”

Deng Zilong suggested.

Chen stroked his beard and groaned and nodded slightly.

"Old general, you are too careful, if Xiao Jixin is still there, we are still afraid of him, but Xiao Jixin is dead, the rebels are angry, it is already the end of the crossbow, this kind of army is not vulnerable at all, Futai, if the last general says, you should take the initiative to attack, defeat it head-on, and go down with a drum!"

Liu Wei raised objections, which were in direct opposition to Deng Zilong's opinions.

Chen Yongbin pondered for a while, and seemed to feel that what Liu Wei said was not necessarily unreasonable.

"That's a mistake! The so-called mourning soldiers will win, the rebels suddenly lost their commander, and it has become a mourning army, if we wait for the column to attack at this time, wouldn't it just hit the tip of the gun? The march of the great army has been exhausted by this point, and it is time to rest, how can it rush into the army at this moment? ”

Deng Zilong retorted again.

Chen Yongbin thought about it and felt that what Deng Zilong said made more sense.

Liu Wei still disagreed.

"The rebels have always had the reputation of being good at fighting, you and my army have fought with Xiao Thief, if we retreat and do not fight at this time, the soldiers think that we are cowardly, and they will not dare to fight! The imperial court is looking forward to good news like Ganlin, at this time, we are waiting to retreat without fighting, what should the imperial court think? ”

Chen Yongbin suddenly realized that Liu Ling had hit the nail on the head.

The imperial court is still in a hurry to punish the Xiao Ruxun clan and solve all the hidden dangers!

At this time, if he can't send troops as soon as possible, in case Shen is always dissatisfied, he Chen Yongbin's situation will be embarrassing.

Although Chen Yongbin is currently full of suspicions about the coup d'état in Beijing, he still chooses to accept it in the face of the holy decree and the order of the military department.

In this case, it is necessary to do things well, and you can't leave a handle for Shen Zhengyi, otherwise you will be very passive when you meet in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yongbin spoke decisively.

"What the old general said may not be unreasonable, but at the moment, Ben Fu thinks that what Liu Zongbing said is the key, so let's attack! Take down the rebels as soon as possible, solve this war as soon as possible, and let the people of Yunnan rest more and fight tomorrow! ”

Chen Yongbin made a decision.
