Chapter 186: Zheng Yu is coming

The general Zheng in the mouth of the captives is Zheng Yu of Houli Kingdom.

Speaking of General Zheng, we must first talk about the chaos in Annan, because Annan was also in chaos at that time.

At this time, Annam was divided into the Mo Dynasty in the north and the Houli Dynasty in the south (should be the Later Li Dynasty. But the Later Lê dynasty was actually split into two parts.

In 1592, Zheng Song, the general of the Houli Dynasty, defeated the Mo Dynasty in the north, and the Li court of the Houli Dynasty returned to the capital 'Shenglong'. At this time, Zheng Song's power was hot, and he was appointed as "the marshal of the capital and the general government of the country, the father of the king of peace", and held the right to appoint and dismiss officials, levy taxes, draw ding, govern the people, etc., and the status was hereditary, known as "Zheng Zhu", Emperor Li was only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys, and later historians described this situation as "Li Shi is the emperor, and Zheng is in power".

As early as the confrontation between the north and south of Lê Mo, the minister of the Lê Dynasty, Nguyen Jin, saw that Lord Zheng was suspicious of him, so he invited himself out of Hue. Nguyen Jin actively operated in Hue, won the hearts and minds of the people, and later developed into the "Nguyen Lord" regime.

In this way, the Mo Dynasty was formed with Cao Ping as its capital in the north, the Houli Dynasty with Thang Long as its capital in the middle, and the Nguyen Dynasty with Hue as its capital in the south.

Therefore, at that time, the people in that area were also struggling to make a living.

Although the Li Dynasty was the king of the Li Dynasty, it was actually what Lord Zheng said!

Today's Zheng lord is called Zheng Rong, and the general Zheng is called Zheng Yu, who is Zheng Rong's youngest son. Among Lord Zheng's sons, except for the eldest son Zheng Miao, Zheng Yu is considered to be the best.

Zheng Yu is in his early thirties, not only brave and ruthless, but also a little scheming, but not a wine bag and rice bag. And he also has 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands. The swords were neat, but there were no firearms. Among them, the cavalry also happens to be 3,000 people, and these cavalry are already quite a lot. The south is not like the north, there are fewer horses, and there are fewer good horses, like Zheng Yu's three thousand cavalry riding good horses.

The Later Li Dynasty relied on Zheng Yu's 10,000 elite soldiers and Zheng Miao's 10,000 Vientiane soldiers to gain the upper hand in the conquest with the Ruan Dynasty in the south and the Mo Dynasty in the north.

In the first few days, Zheng Yu sent Zheng Rong, the lord of the Later Li Dynasty, to Zheng Rongjian, who should completely eliminate the Mo Dynasty in the north. In this way, it was possible to concentrate all efforts on dealing with the Nguyen Dynasty in the south. And now it is caught in the middle, and both the north and the south must be guarded against. The situation is unfavorable.

Zheng Zhu's eldest son, Zheng Miao, objected, and his reasons were also very good. That Mo Dynasty is easy to attack, because the Mo Dynasty has already been destroyed once. But now that the Mo Dynasty is back up again, the main thing is to have the support of the Ming Dynasty. Attacking the Mo Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops.

The two men began to argue.

Lord Zheng stopped the two of them. said to Zheng Yu, "You can be sure of attacking the Mo Dynasty, it will not work if it takes too long, and the Ming army will definitely support it." ”

That Zheng Yu boasted that he went to Haikou, "Within a month, sweep the Mo Dynasty!" ”

So, Zheng Yu took his 10,000 elite soldiers and forcibly conscripted 60,000 people. Because the entire area of Annam is constantly in turmoil, the local people are also miserable. I heard that I could be promoted and make a fortune by fighting in the war, so some took the initiative to participate. But I didn't expect it. Because the war was progressing smoothly and advancing rapidly, the logistics of food and supplies could not keep up. Except for Zheng Yu's 10,000 elite soldiers, the other soldiers couldn't eat enough, so they could only go around to rob them.

When Li Guo heard it, it turned out to be like this. It seems that Zheng Yu's men and horses are really messy, as long as you pay attention to his 10,000 elite soldiers, you won't be afraid.

And at this time, the spies came to report. said that Zheng Yu's people were almost there.

Li Guo ordered to go down and follow the plan. Get ready for battle!

Zheng Yu, the general of the Houli Kingdom, was riding on a horse, he was very proud, he himself didn't expect the soldiers of the Mo Dynasty to be so resistant, and the battle went so smoothly. Not far ahead, Gaoping, the capital of the Mo Dynasty, is almost here, and laying Gaoping is a great achievement.

Zheng Yu is the youngest among the brothers, but he looks down on his elder brothers. However, the whole of Annam followed the example of Huaxia, and even the succession and succession of the throne were inherited by the eldest son according to the method of the Central Plains, which made Zheng Yu very dissatisfied, although the inheritance was not the throne, but the head of the family, with different names and the same authority.

Therefore, as long as the Mo Dynasty is destroyed, Zheng Yu's prestige will overshadow his eldest brother Zheng Miao, and maybe he still has a chance. What's so great about that Zheng Mill? Isn't it just the elephants in the team who win the battle? What kind of ability?

Zheng Yu was thinking about it, someone came to report, saying that Gaoping, the capital of the Mo Dynasty, had arrived, but there was an army of the Mo Dynasty gathered outside Gaoping City, and it was thought that he was going to fight a decisive battle with us.

Zheng Yu urged him to step forward, and sure enough, he saw a mess outside Gaoping City, among them, there was the royal flag of the Mo Dynasty in the team.

Zheng Yu put his mind at ease and was happy in his heart, what he was most worried about was not that the Ming Dynasty would send troops, because this war was very fast, and the Ming Dynasty would definitely not have time to react, what he was worried about was that Mo Zhengkuan, the king of the Mo Dynasty, had run away!

Why was the capital of the Mo Dynasty built in Gaoping now? Isn't it because Gaopingli is close to Guangxi? First, the Ming army can be protected, and second, if it is really impossible, it can run to the Ming Dynasty. Now the royal flag of the Mo Dynasty is here, which means that Mo Zhengkuan did not run, and he just wiped out the clan of the Mo Dynasty.

Therefore, Zheng Yu was in a hurry, he ordered everyone to attack, and on the other hand, he led three thousand cavalry to quickly kill the Wang Qi of the Mo Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Houli Dynasty rushed forward frantically, because Zheng Yu said very clearly just now, defeating the army of the Mo Dynasty and killing Mo Zhengkuan, the soldiers of the Houli Dynasty could burn and loot in Gaoping. You must know that it is the capital of the Mo Dynasty, and there are countless gold and silver treasures in it!

Seeing that Mo Chao's soldiers seemed to be about to run, the soldiers rushed even more urgently.

And Zheng Yu also rushed with 3,000 cavalry, Zheng Yu is very experienced, in previous battles, as long as he killed the cavalry, the enemy was defeated, and the situation today seems to be the same.

Mo Zhengkuan, the king of the Mo Dynasty, was reluctant to go out of the city to face the battle, he had already packed his bags and was ready to evacuate from Gaoping and defect to the Ming Dynasty. This Li Guo's team looks good, but no one can say what it is.

But Mo Zhengkuan could only take the remnants of his army to face the defeated general, because Li Guo sent someone to invite him to go, and he asked for it.

Looking at the melancholy on Mo Zhengkuan's face, Tu Shaoxuan, the pacification envoy of Guangxi, said, "You don't have to worry, then Li Guo is just letting you lure the enemy, and he is not really fighting, as soon as the flag sounds, you can just run back along both sides." In this way, I am with you! ”

Hearing that Tu Shaoxuan was with him, Mo Zhengkuan felt a little comforted, and Li Guo also specially sent a hundred cavalry to protect the two people.

Seeing the soldiers of the Houli Dynasty coming over, Mo Zhengkuan was about to run, only to hear the sound of a knife in Cangchang, and the hundred cavalry who protected them drew their knives.

"No retreat without an order!" The leader shouted.

Mo Zhengkuan didn't dare to move at all, because the appearance of the cavalry leader was very scary, he was a one-eyed dragon, with an eye patch tied obliquely around his head, and he buzzed when he spoke!

It's none other than Wang Da Stick.

Fortunately, only after a while, the horn sounded, and all the Mo Dynasty soldiers ran backwards along both sides, only Wang Da Stick took the Wang Banner of the Mo Dynasty and ran back quickly. Some of the Mo Dynasty soldiers who were also running in the middle were immediately shot to the ground by bows and arrows, and they faced Li Guo's army.

Li Guo had already given an order, and there could only be one person who ran backwards in the middle, and that was Wang Da Stick, no one else, Tu Shaoxuan and Mo Zhengkuan, all of them were shot to death, so as not to disrupt the formation.

Seeing the soldiers of the Mo Dynasty fleeing one after another, Zheng Yu was in a hurry and ordered the soldiers to "chase!" Chase after Wang Qi! (To be continued)
