July 17, Daming Guangnan West Road, Yongzhou, Youjiang Road. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yongzhou was originally the place where the Han family and many southwestern barbarians lived together, in order to facilitate management, the former Song Dynasty set up Zuojiang Road and Youjiang Road on the basis of Yongzhou, Zuojiang Road is adjacent to Dali and Ziqi, and Youjiang Road is the Qinzhou barrier.

The directions in which the Xuanwu Army and the Yongzhou Army were assembled were actually Zuojiang Road near Dali and Qinzhou near the sea respectively, so that an obvious pincer offensive could be formed when attacking Annan, making it difficult for Annan's already small forces to block the attack on both sides, and he had to shrink his defense. Throughout the ages, for Annam, a small country that is often in turmoil and does not accept the kingship of the Central Plains, it has adopted such an offensive method, which can approach the capital of Annam, Thang Long Mansion as quickly as possible.

As long as it can break through the Lang Son line in a short period of time, the entire Thang Long province will be in no danger.

But what really makes Ma Yan anxious now is how to find the main army of Chen Guojun who has lost a trace. In recent days, the torrential rain has made the roads muddy and difficult to walk, and Annan has always relied on the harsh terrain and local numerical advantages to win against the Central Plains Dynasty, so Ma Yan knows very well that the Annan monkeys under Chen Guojun must be indispensable, and even the number should be in twenty or thirty thousand.

But the huge twenty or thirty thousand people disappeared like this, and anyone would feel depressed, even the old general Ma who had been fighting all his life was no exception.

Wiping a handful of the rain from his face, Ma Yan didn't care to find a dry place to hide, let the rain continue to flow down his cheeks, and said coldly with his saber in his hand: "Why hasn't the sentry sent out an hour ago come back yet!" ”

The road was muddy, and several commanders simply gave up their horses, strode forward, and saw that the old general Ma had anger on his face, and hurriedly surrendered his hand. Ma Yan glanced at them: "Is there any news from Qinzhou and Zuojiang Province now?" ”

"Comfort, it's raining too much, and our people haven't come back yet." A commander said with a bitter face, "And there is no trace of the Annan monkey so far, I'm afraid we will really lose it if we continue like this." ”

Ma Yan stomped his feet with hatred: "Tens of thousands of people have lost it, what are you doing to eat!" Those tens of thousands of people should be able to find them even if they are sprinkled on the left and right rivers! ”

A Marquis Yu hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Pacify, I have always heard that Chen Guojun is cunning and changeable in his use of soldiers, could it be that the people of Annan are not in Youjiang Road at all." After all, once our army from Zuojiang Road and Qinzhou comes back, he won't be able to go back! ”

Slightly stunned, Ma Yan slowly clenched his fists: "If this is the case, then Chen Guojun is really not in vain." Just what does he want to do? Obviously, she has already entered Youjiang Road, could it be that it is just to contain the Yongzhou army, but with only tens of thousands of people, does she still want to break the other Xuanwu army? ”

Another commander replied in a deep voice: "Pacify, the Annam monkeys have placed 100,000 troops on our border, basically their main force is here, although Chen Guojun led the attack on Youjiang Road is not much, but once it is connected with the front line of Langshan, even if the Xuanwu army is a rare elite, I am afraid it will suffer, especially now that it has been raining for two days!" ”

Walking briskly up the hillside not far away, Ma Yan didn't care about the wind and cold at the heights, but just fixed his eyes on the south. The green mountain is faint, and he has been thinking about the southern extension in front of him, and he doesn't know what kind of murderous secret is hidden behind this green mountain. On the left and right sides of the hillside, the soldiers of the Yongzhou Army, who had been exhausted from the march for several days, stood silently, looking at Ma Yan with tired but trusting looks.

General Ma Lao has been sitting on Quang Nam West Road for so many years, and has led them out of trouble again and again, so they believe in Ma Yan and believe that Ma Yan can lead them to defeat these damn Annan monkeys.

"Chen Guojun picked a good time." Ma Yan muttered, his gray beard had been wet by the rain, making the old man look a little haggard, "Shuzhang, you are a rare general that you have seen, and it is difficult for you to get over now, I hope you will not fall into Chen Guojun's trap." ”

Several commanders and Yu Hou hurriedly caught up, and their eyes were full of inquiry.

Ma Yan made up his mind and ordered loudly: "Collect the team, return to the defense of Taipingzhou, and the left wing of the Yongzhou army, and advance in the direction of Qinzhou, but you must be very careful on the road, once there is any trouble, someone will report it immediately." ”

"Pacify, let's retreat?" Several people are a little puzzled, Taiping Prefecture is already the center of the Youjiang Road area, and it is still in the north of here, at this time, what is the difference between gathering the army and retreating from Taiping Prefecture, you must know that the Xuanwu Army of Qinzhou is estimated to have entered Annam, and the retreat at this time is undoubtedly a sign of cowardice.

Ma Yan said in a deep voice: "When it rains hesitantly, the army hesitates, which will inevitably damage morale, it is better to go back to Taiping Prefecture directly to repair, and Shuzhang learned that there was no trace of Annan people on Youjiang Road, so he naturally understood that Chen Guojun was running for him." ”

Several commanders stopped talking, and they all watched the horse.

"This is stormy and the battle situation is unknown, and I must keep the safety of these soldiers and listen to my orders!" Ma Yan said in a deep voice, "Retreat." ”

The old man didn't say anything more, just turned around slowly, silently looking at the mountains and fields that had been washed by the wind and rain over and over again. After following the old general Ma Yan for a long time, these commanders also understood his stubborn temperament, so they didn't dare to say more, but just ran down the hill quickly to gather the team.

And General Ma reluctantly took one last look at the mountains and rivers, and the rain seeping into his mouth from his face was tinged with a wisp of saltiness.

After so many years, the old man actually shed tears.

Ma Yan's heart was sour, and he slowly walked down the hill, his steps staggering.

This wind and rain can't cut off all the troops here, in Guangnan West Road, Daming still needs fire.

At this moment, a sentry broke through the wind and rain and came in a hurry, which soon attracted the attention of most people, and the sentry did not hesitate at all, found the position of the old general, simply jumped off the horse, and ran forward in three steps and two steps:

"Qi Yu appeased, the Xuanwu Army was commanded by General Li to retreat, and all the departments of the Xuanwu Army have now retreated to Qinzhou, strictly defended, and specially ordered his subordinates to come and report."

The horse was stunned for a moment, and let out a long sigh in the wind.

Uncle Zhang, you didn't disappoint someone after all.

"Kill!" A Ming soldier roared angrily, and the Pu knife in his hand slashed across the neck of the Annan soldier in front of him, and blood gushed out, dripping on the muddy ground. In the wind and rain, countless figures were intertwined, the snow-bright blades were stained with blood and rain, the originally verdant grass had been trampled by pairs of trampled feet, and there were only fallen corpses and flowing blood on the ground.

I don't know who gave the order, the spearmen of the Ming army behind slowly moved forward, and the sword and shield hands, which were already difficult to support, were finally able to withdraw.

"General, the monkeys of Annan are biting us to the death, and they can't be killed at all." A commander rushed up the hillside not far away against the wind and rain, since the appearance of the Annan people, Li Fu has been standing on this hillside, facing the wind and rain just staring at the flesh and blood battlefield below, "These Annan monkeys are very flexible, along the hills in this area, our sons and daughters are not even their opponents." ”

"Being able to trek and assault in the rain is also an elite selected in every way." Li Fu said in a deep voice, "Tell the front, no matter how big the casualties are, be sure to take the hill on the left flank." Even if it is difficult for us to repel these Annan monkeys for a while, we can't let them press and fight. ”

The commander hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "General, it's not that the brothers can't beat it, but that there are too many of these Annam monkeys, and they can't be killed cleanly, and only our Chinese army, the rear compartment and the Jingjiang army are left behind. ”

"The left and right compartments are not movable." Li Fu waved his hand and looked intently at the bloody battle in the wind and rain, "Now the enemy is dark and I am clear, if all the Xuanwu army is pressed up, I am afraid it is with Chen Guojun's mind." After such a big battle, I really didn't believe that Chen Guojun would watch a play in Youjiang Road, not to mention that General Ma Lao also said that there was no trace of Chen Guojun's main force in Youjiang Road. ”

"What does the general mean, then Chen Guojun has already come over in person?" The commander shivered in the wind and rain, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or cold sweat behind him.

Li Fu's eyes were cold: "What we met, I'm afraid it's Chen Guojun's main force, I thought that the Annan monkey who retreated from the army would not have the courage to catch up, who would have thought that they were really underestimated." But does Chen Guojun think that the Xuanwu Army is so easy to deal with? ”

The commander was stunned and looked at Li Fu.

"Tell the rear carriage and the Jingjiang army that they can't take the high hillside on the left wing, so they will wait for a certain military law to deal with it." Li Fu pressed the sword in his hand, Huo Ran turned around and walked down the mountain, "If they can't take it down, then so-and-so will take so-and-so's personal guards into battle!" ”

Suddenly remembering something, Li Fu continued: "In addition, send someone to Youjiang Road to tell General Ma Lao that at this time Annan's heart is empty, please Lou Zhan to attack from Zuojiang Road, no need to hesitate, and General Ma Lao will come to support with the rest of the main force!" ”

"General, this ······" The commander did not react suddenly, looked at Li Fu, the Xuanwu Army was the main attack, who would have thought that now it would become the object of rescue, for whom for a while are somewhat acceptable, after all, the Xuanwu Army is invincible on the battlefield, even the Mongolian Tartars have not been afraid, a few months ago the attack on Dali is to break through the dragon head pass with their own strength, within a few days let Dali become the place where the red flag of the Ming Dynasty is flying, and now it is the turn of the Xuanwu Army to ask for help.

"The Annan monkeys are prepared, we can't be careless." Li Fu said in a deep voice, "Go quickly!" ”

Looking at the figure of the commander who disappeared in the wind and rain, Li Fu exhaled a long breath, Chen Guojun, do you think that what you bite is really just the tail of the Xuanwu Army that has no time to retreat, if so, then you can't help but underestimate a certain Li Fu.

The torrential rain was pouring down, densely weaving diagonally in front of me, and the raindrops hit the mud and constantly rippled.

Li Fu gritted his teeth: "Pro-guards, come with so!" ”

On both sides of the hillside, there were already murderous sounds.

————————————————-

After the Midyear Festival, the autumn mood of Nanjing City is getting deeper and deeper.

A cup of fragrant tea was placed on the table, and Ye Yingwu sat silently on the pavilion of this water pavilion, not knowing what he was thinking, and the ginkgo tree in front of the pavilion was already slowly falling off leaves. On the table beside Ye Yingwu, a lonely twist and turn seemed extremely abrupt.

I don't know when Hui Niang walked to Ye Yingwu's side, stretched out her hand and gently picked up the recital, and after taking a look, she said in a deep voice: "Daming and Annan went to war, and the Mongolian Tartars really couldn't sit still. No wonder my husband has been silent for the past two days. ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Kublai Khan is also the master of a generation of eloquent strategies, whether it is the battle of Dali or Ezhou, it is the highlight of his life, and since Kublai Khan ascended the throne, although it seems that he has been defeated repeatedly, but those who really understand know very well that behind this defeat, is the increasingly constricted power of the Mongolian Tatars, who are silently waiting for the opportunity, just like wolves waiting for their prey to relax on the grassland." ”

"Husband is taking himself as a prey?" Hui Niang said with a smile.

"Wolves can take any animal that catches their eye as prey, and a certain nature is no exception." Ye Yingwu waved his hand lightly, "What's more, if Kublai Khan wants to destroy my Ming Dynasty, it's not a day or two." It's just that this time it really made him find the right direction. ”

The smile on the corner of Hui Niang's lips gradually converged, and she looked at the song again: "What does the husband mean, the Mongolian Tartars have made trouble in the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty this time?" ”

Stretched out his hand and knocked on the piece signed "Hubu Shangshu Xie Fangde", Ye Yingwu's voice was a little low and tired: "The former Song Dynasty looks very rich, but in fact, people who know the roots understand that this wealth is to hide the wealth from the people, and the rich are not the treasury but the people, and the second is to rely too much on foreign trade. It's more than worth the cost. ”

"The Mongol Tatars have not controlled the Central Plains and Hebei for a long time, and they are still barren, in fact, a certain opening of trade towns is not so much to collect the money of the Mongol Tatars, but to control the choke points of the Mongol Tatars, so that the Northern Expedition will not be frustrated in the future, and the gold and silver that can be exploited from here are still a small number after all," Ye Yingwu took a sip of tea and muttered, "But once the Mongol Tatars cut off the maritime trade route, it will really cut off the source of my Ming wealth." ”

Hui Niang was stunned, and Ye Yingwu's frowning appearance made her feel threatened: "Could it be that the husband has nothing to solve?" ”

After Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, he said in a cold voice: "Yes, yes, but I don't want to do it in a hurry now." But once Kublai Khan wants to make something happen again, then don't blame him for being unkind. Although the Ming Dynasty and Annan are now in full swing, it doesn't mean that my Ming Dynasty doesn't have the skills to deal with Kublai Khan, and the taste of the fire in the backyard doesn't know if Kublai Khan is interested in tasting it. ”

With a shudder, Wang Qinghui looked at Ye Yingwu.

"The last time I saw the real golden prince, this Mongolian prince could already see that his face was full of qi and blood, and I wanted to see if the real golden prince could be stable in Mongolia after he died." Ye Yingwu picked up the teacup, drank it all, and then squatted the teacup heavily on the table, "Every powerful empire collapses internally, if no one wanted to oppose Kublai Khan before, but now, what about a certain Ye Yingwu holding gold and silver in his hands." ”

Hui Niang stepped forward and gently helped Ye Yingwu knead her temples: "Husband is too ruthless." ”

Ye Yingwu closed his eyes, lay comfortably on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "The world is sinister, if you want to find a pure land in it, how easy it is to say, every day I am afraid that when I am with you, I will feel the comfort and joy in my heart." ”

Hui Niang chuckled lightly and didn't say much.

And the footsteps sounded hurriedly, and then I heard Zhao Yunwei, the little witch running in the back house, shouting highly: "Big brother, what you want is here, get up and take a look!" ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned, something you wanted?

After a while, with a strange look on her face, Su Niangqiao put down the tray in her hand, pointed to the black thing on the plate and said: "This is what the household department just presented, saying that His Highness just sent a boat out to find something a long time ago. ”

Subconsciously cast his gaze over, Ye Yingwu's hand trembled slightly.

I haven't seen this dear fellow for over a year.

Potato! Potato!

Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and slowly picked up the thing that was still stained with mud, and burst into tears.

The sailor ship sent out searched for a year, and finally found this treasure in the South Seas.

Zhao Yunwei stood on tiptoe in surprise and stepped forward, while Ye Yingwu reached out and rubbed her little head: "Wei'er, big brother will give you potato beef stew at noon today." (To be continued.) )
