Chapter 72 The Prince of Qianguo

Seeing that there were more and more native soldiers at the head of Lao Yaguan City, and the casualties of Peng Canglang's Marine Division gradually increased, Peng Canglang ordered "arson".

Several large barrels were dumped on the pile of corpses outside the city wall, and as soon as the torches were thrown, the huge fire dragon of "Boom ......" instantly enveloped the entire city wall, thick smoke billowed out, and the smell of burnt flesh was disgusting.

The northwest wind blew and rushed towards the natives with smoke and scorching stench.

The natives watched the fire grow louder and louder, and they all fell into deep despair.

With a strong desire to survive, the natives burst out with great strength in a state of hunger and weakness, and launched a continuous attack. originally thought that there was hope for survival, but the vicious fire of the Han people completely cut off the hope of survival of the local people.

Wounded and desperate, the natives lay motionless on the ground, surrounded by thick smoke, completely devoid of fighting spirit.

Chen Changming could no longer control the remnants of the army, and the native soldiers who had lost their minds scattered and fled.

Chen Changming glanced at the old crow hatefully, closed the vermilion "Zhu" banner that was noisy by the heat wave, and turned around and left with the personal guard team.

………………

Zhang Pan's 3,000th household, Yu Feixing's 4,000th household, Zhou Zhou's dart division team, and Peng Canglang's sailor division marine corps all went out to strangle the native soldiers who had lost their organization and fighting spirit for dozens of miles from Laoyaguan Pass to Tuguan Town.

By the time the battlefield was cleaned up, a rough estimate showed that there were more than 40,000 casualties, and less than 5,000 were scattered and retreated to the nearby mountains and forests.

The Shunfeng Dart Bureau sent a part of the people to escort the spoils of the battle and escort the wounded soldiers back to the camp under the city of Kunming. The rest of the people followed Zhu Shunming to carry out the ultimate mission of this western expedition.

Zhu Shunming convened a military meeting and issued the next mission goals to more than 100 officers.

Li Ke couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "I just said how can the boss make a loss-making deal?" I see...... I love ......"

Since the Western Expedition, Zhu Shunming's army has either not committed any crimes in the autumn, or it has been like locusts crossing the border, and no grass has grown in the places it has passed.

After tasting the sweetness and excitement of "fighting the enemy", the soldiers heard that they were going to do a bigger vote this time, and they were all gearing up and eager to try.

"Report, captured a group of spies, claiming to be ......" The scout showed a strange expression: "...... Claiming to be the ...... of the Qianguo Mansion"

Qianguo Gong? Zhu Shunming showed a hint of a smile. The prince of Qianguo is in Yunnan, and regards himself as the soil emperor of Yunnan and Yunnan as his own territory.

Now he was driven west by Sha Dingzhou. In order to regain his former power and status, he is willing to pay any price if he wants to come to Qianguogong.

………………

Mu Zhongxian is the son of the prince of Qianguo, but he is not loved by his father Mu Tianbo, so he has to be established as the son of the family because of Zu Xun.

Father Mu Tianbo likes his second son Mu Zhongliang even more. Not only does he always take Mu Zhongliang with him on weekdays, but he also tells his second brother a very good family matter.

Thinking of his brother-in-law's beautiful face, figure, outstanding talent and good family background, Mu Zhongxian hated it so much. Why do you have to give up good things to the second brother?

fled from Kunming City in a panic, was chased and killed by the native army all the way, and was it not after he led the team to fight to the death that he was able to enter Chuxiong without danger?

In Chuxiong, an army of more than 100,000 natives besieged day and night, and his own soldiers stood on the city wall day and night without removing their armor, and his father did not praise him. What about the second brother? He recited poems and painted with his younger siblings, and in the poem, "there is a golden iron horse", he was praised by his father.

Could it be that the Jin Ge Iron Horse in the poem can kill the natives who are besieging the city? Could it be that drawing a general in armor and riding a horse can repel the enemy's attack?

Mu Zhongxian's inner dissatisfaction piled up more and more. His sense of crisis also deepened.

My father likes to love his second brother, and he has been with him for a long time, and he has given a lot of rights to his second brother. In the long run, it is not impossible for a father to change his son.

The momentum of the natives besieging the city suddenly slowed down, and the encirclement became lax. Mu Zhongxian keenly felt that things had changed. He automatically asked Ying to lead the team out of the city to listen to the news.

The Turkish army retreated eastward, could it be that there was a change in Kunming? Did the imperial court send reinforcements? Why didn't he contact Chu Xiong's Qianguo Gong?

Mu Zhongxian faintly felt that the hope he had been waiting for for a long time had come.

In the next few days, the nickname "Zhu Demon King" continued to appear in Mu Zhongxian's ears, and the rumors about Zhu Demon King were even more divine.

The imperial court sent King Zhu to Yunnan to kill all the natives of Yunnan. When the Zhu Demon King left Guiyang, he began to kill, killing no one in the west of Guiyang and east of Kunming City.

Zhu Demon King is more than a foot tall, his eyes are like lanterns, his mouth is bright red, bigger than a basin, his arms, legs and feet are thicker than ordinary people's waist and abdomen, and he dances a huge mace......

Soon, Mu Zhongxian was shocked to learn that the 50,000 people of Chen Changming's troops who had returned from Chuxiong to aid Kunming had been annihilated by the Zhu Demon King, and Chen Changming was nowhere to be found.

Mu Zhongxian was surprised and delighted. I didn't expect the little-known Zhu Shunming to have such strength. The good news is that if he can get the support of Zhu Shunming's army, the position of the prince of Qianguo will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Maybe you can still sit in the position of the Duke of Qianguo in advance...... Mu Zhongxian couldn't bear the evil in his heart.

………………

Seeing Zhu Shunming, Mu Zhongxian was surprised.

In addition to being tall, Zhu Shunming looks kind and gentle like a scholar. And Zhu Shunming is too young, too young, too young to be true. This is the Zhu Demon King who made the natives of Guixi and Eastern Yunnan talk about the color change and stop crying?

"General Zhu, on behalf of the Qianguo Mansion, Mu is very grateful to the general for coming thousands of miles to help Yunnan. The city of Kunming was recovered on another day, and Mu became the Duke of Qianguo and was determined to be a general. ”

Zhu Shunming has a soul with rich experience hidden in his body, and when he hears it, he knows that there are unknown dirty things in the Qianguo Mansion. The prince of Qianguo in front of him wants to use himself as a knife to play.

"Shizi is polite. This general soldier came to Yunnan to quell the rebellion of the natives in Yunnan by the emperor's holy decree, which was a matter of duty, and it should not be polite to the prince. ”

"The city wall of Kunming is high and deep, and the guards are deep and strict. The general army tried to attack the city a few days ago, but the result was a loss of troops and no advance. ”

"The court is empty, and no grain, grass, and silver have been allocated. This expedition consumed all the personal money of the general army. Now that the grain, grass and silver were exhausted, the general army decided to withdraw from the army and return to Huguang. ”

Mu Zhongxian was stunned. Unexpectedly, the young Zhu Shunming was not moved by his words at all, but instead retreated into advance, but gave himself a hand.

"Mu still has some belongings over the years, why don't you give some to the general as salary? It's a pity that most of the wealth of the Qianguo Mansion was in Kunming City, and all of them were transported back to Jianshui Prefecture by the damned Sha Dingzhou. ”

"In this way, on behalf of the Changsha guards, Zhu thanked the prince for his generosity." Zhu Shunming bowed his hand to express his gratitude, his expression became much more relaxed, and he smiled slightly.

Then Zhu Shunming continued to knock on the bamboo and said: "The prince is in the Guogong Mansion, with fine clothes and food, carefree, I don't know the hardships of being a soldier, we are all poor." ”

"As long as we give money, we can take any job as soldiers and do anything."
