Chapter 565: The End
Under the city of Nanding.
Nanding City is outside Ninh Binh City, as a large rear area for supplying Ninh Binh. The atmosphere at the moment is extremely tense.
Mo Dengyong stood under the city of Annan with a blue face.
It's the third day.
Mo Dengyong collected less than 20,000 defeated soldiers.
Moreover, these 20,000 are truly defeated soldiers, and all the organizations that have been lost, only a few hundred households, have maintained an intact organization.
It has been said that war is a matter of organization. These armies, which have lost their organization, are completely scattered and have no combat effectiveness at all, and if they want to restore their combat effectiveness, they must be reorganized and trained.
Not to mention, the issue of combat effectiveness. The issue of soldiers alone is a huge problem for Mo Dengyong.
How old is Annan. Tens of thousands of soldiers were lost in one day, and tens of thousands of troops were conscripted. I don't know when. How many people are there in the whole country, and how many young people can be supplied?
If the first problem that Mo Dengyong faces is that the army has lost its combat effectiveness, then the second problem is the depletion of soldiers. However, more serious than these two problems, the more serious problem is the backlash of the people.
In this battle, Mo Dengyong was defeated, not to mention what would happen to the north, the cities between Thanh Hoa and Thang Long would be fluctuating. Mo Dengyong even doubted Nanding, he suspected, maybe when he woke up, those wall grasses sold them to Yongjun.
"Nanding, I can't stay." Mo Dengyong said secretly in his heart.
He immediately decided to leave Nanding.
Just when Mo Dengyong hurriedly retreated.
Zhu Houhuang is also facing a big problem, either anything else, or the plague.
The plague of the Mo army was much more powerful than Zhu Houhuang thought. And it's in the annoying rainy season, and the battlefield is not over, and the rain is pulling up again.
The land that has never been dry, and the rainy days that have never been sunny for three days, have brought great trouble to Zhu Houhuang.
The Mozambican army is miserable, but the people of Annam will be even more miserable, this big battle.
In this war, the plague, which was originally confined to both sides of the war, has spread to the people.
With Ninh Binh as the center, a plague is about to break out.
Although Zhu Houhuang knew that the army was chasing Mo Dengyong now, he would definitely be able to beat Mo Dengyong to the ground, but he could only choose to give up.
Zhu Houhuang handed over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Yu Dayou. However, he went to Ningping City with Doctor Xue and Doctor Wen.
However, when he was at the city gate, Divine Doctor Xue blocked Zhu Houhuang and said, "Your Highness, don't go deep into the dangerous place." ”
Zhu Houhuang still values his body, and after thinking about it, he said, "Doctor Xue should also take care of his body. ”
Zhu Houhuang sent a team of soldiers to send Dongyong's medical team into the city.
The results of Yu Dayou's cleaning up the battlefield also came out. In this battle, the Blade Battalion was almost abandoned, and about 1,000 people died in the battle. There were only about 4,000 people who actually went into battle, and they could lose 25% of the battle. Fortunately, the army has been victorious and has been pursuing, and the soldiers are relatively less sensitive to casualties.
However, the captives made Zhu Houhuang even happier, and among the nearly 40,000 captives, 10,000 were beheaded, which can be described as a great victory. However, there is one thing that still makes Zhu Houhuang feel troublesome, the dead must be buried immediately, and they can't add any more burden to the already intractable plague.
It's still an easy thing to do.
The most troublesome thing for Zhu Houhuang was that there were a large number of patients among the captives.
These 40,000 captives are all young and strong, all of them are young and strong with military literacy, and they can become usable soldiers with only a little integration. Zhu Houhuang added an Annan soldier to himself.
It's just that the plague is spreading, and it will implicate the Yongjun itself at any time.
"This kind of thing, we can only wait for Divine Doctor Xue and them to come out, and then we can do it." Zhu Houhuang said helplessly.
After all, interlacing is like separating mountains, although he can propose heavy isolation measures, but it is better to let these doctors come to really cure the plague.
It's just that he never thought that the situation was wrong. Because Divine Doctor Xue didn't choose to come out at all.
"Your Highness. Doctor Xue begged to see him at the head of the city. ”
"What?" Zhu Houhuang said: "What's the matter? ”
"The little one can't say clearly, please go down and take a look."
Zhu Houhuang immediately went to the city to take a look. Seeing that Doctor Xue was in the city, his white hair was gently blown by the wind, Doctor Xue said, "Your Highness, the old minister will meet you." ”
Zhu Houhuang said: "Divine Doctor Xue, why don't you come out, there are still many patients waiting for you outside." ”
Doctor Xue suddenly paused and said, "The minister can't go out." The situation in the city was extremely serious, and the people had already begun to die in large numbers. Anyone who enters the city must be quarantined, and His Royal Highness is requested to block the city gate, and no communication between the inside and outside is allowed, and all the necessary materials are hoisted from the city. ”
Zhu Houhuang heard that the city was so serious, and said, "Since Divine Doctor Xue is so dangerous, you should come out first." ”
"The heart of the doctor's parents cannot sit idly by. Outside the city, my disciples can do it. If something happens to the minister, please close the city for a year and then open the city gates. Divine Doctor Xue said slowly.
Zhu Houhuang immediately had a bad premonition. The situation in this city was serious beyond Doctor Xue's expectations, and it was also beyond Zhu Houhuang's expectations.
Mo Dengyong doesn't know medical skills, but there is no doctor as clever as Doctor Xue around him. The only way to know about the plague is to control it and not to control it.
Mo Dengyong left in time, otherwise after the plague broke out, Zhu Houhuang would have won without fighting.
It's just that at this moment, he is gone, and this mess can only be left to Zhu Houhuang.
In such a situation, how could Zhu Houhuang pursue the Mo army?
Zhu Houhuang said: "Withdraw the troops." ”
As a last resort, Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to withdraw his troops. The army withdrew to the camp in turn, and the prisoners were placed in the original camp of the Yongjun army. The Yong army did not withdraw to Thanh Hoa, but withdrew to the east of Thanh Hoa and bordered by the sea.
Zhu Houhuang transferred Ruan Runchen back from the rear and appointed him as the city guard of Ningping. Prisoners, beware of the plague.
He knew that he would not have a chance to play again until the rainy season was over.
The battle for Annam is over.
The rest of Zhu Houhuang's work is to integrate the southern part of Annan, and Zhu Houhuang is not here to survive.
The southern part of Nghe An is divided into three major parts, the Thanh Hoa area, the Nghe An area, and a large area south of Nghe An, which is now Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An is under the control of Zheng Sui, and a large area south of Nghe An is under the control of Wang Yangming.
However, among the three regions, Thanh Hoa has the most developed economy and can give Zhu Houhuang the greatest support, and all the food in this confrontation with the Mo army is supported by Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An can also provide some food support. The combination of Nghe An and Thanh Hoa gave Zheng Sui the background to fight against the north, but as for the narrow passage between the mountains and the sea under the control of Wang Yangming, it was a chicken rib.
When Zhu Houhuang saw Wang Yangming's first sentence, he said: "Master Wang, Gu handed over Annan to Mr., can Mr. take down Annan for Gu?" ”
Wang Yangming said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness. The minister will definitely take Annan for His Highness. ”
Zhu Houhuang said: "Master Wang, do you have anything to do alone?" ”
Wang Yangming said: "The minister thinks that the current situation is not appropriate to squeeze the local scholars of Annan too much. ”
Zhu Houhuang said: "Gu understands what you mean, Wang Shi is in Annan, Gu wants to choose a minister for Dongyong to sit in charge, does Wang Shi think Zheng Sui is okay?" ”
Zheng Sui was transferred from Annan, and after he arrived in Dongyong, it was like a fish out of water, and there was no Zheng Sui, a person who could not unite the Qinghua family group. It will be easier for Wang Yangming to deal with Qinghua.
However, although Wang Yangming is not in Dongyong. But Dongyong is in the hands of Wang Yangming's disciples, and once Zheng Sui passes, there will inevitably be conflicts.
The two sides checked and balanced each other, so that Zhu Houhuang had more room for maneuver.
Wang Yangming said: "Your Highness is a good intention, but how did Your Highness transfer Zheng Sui from Qinghua. ”
That's where the difficulty lies. Although Zheng Sui was nominally subordinate to Zhu Houhuang in Thanh Hoa, he was still the lord of one side. And after leaving Thanh Hoa, he became a subordinate.
That's where the difficulty lies.
But then Wang Yangming figured it out, and now is indeed a good opportunity to move Zheng Sui.
Because of Zhu Houhuang's victory over Mo Dengyong's aftermath, as well as the threat of the spread of the plague, this is a good time to move Zheng Sui, especially the plague that is still spreading.
