Chapter 540: The Second Battle of Annam

Zhu Houhuang didn't know much about the specific situation on Annan's side, and he was handling the issue of sending troops in an orderly manner.

The first person to be dispatched was none other than Yu Dayou, who was guarding Da Nang.

Yu Dayou sent people to contact Zheng Sui in the south and Chen Zhen's old department.

When Zhu Houhuang went to war with Franc Ji, he lost control over Annan's internal affairs. At this time, the internal situation in Annan changed rapidly, and Mo Dengyong and the Zheng family fought continuously, along with Zheng Sui and Tieshanbo's old department, they were also implicated here.

First of all, Zheng Sui formed an alliance with Zheng Huaixing. However, the covenant between the two sides is weak.

Zheng Sui was unwilling to be Zheng Huaixing's subordinate. When Zheng Huaixing fought against Mo Dengyong, Zheng Sui was bent on recuperation, and even attacked the old Chen clan in the south. The old Chen clan was scattered, so that Zheng Sui was defeated again and again, and Zheng Sui's losses in the north were made up for in the south.

But Zheng Huaixing's victory over Mo Dengyong was the opposite.

Don't look at Zhu Houhuang's intervention, Mo Dengyong is only left in Haiyang. There were less than 30,000 soldiers. But these are all Hai Duong's disciples. Zheng Huaixing sent troops from Thang Long to attack Hai Duong and fought a very tragic battle of Hai Duong under Hai Duong City. Mo Dengyong held it up, of course, there was naturally Dongyong's handwriting behind it.

Mo Dengyong defeated Zheng Huaixing. This is what Dongyong is happy to see, hoping to balance the strength of both sides, but he never expected that Zheng Huaixing is also a masterpiece. But so there is no resilience. This is related to Zheng Huaixing's background, he is a son of Zheng Suiyan, and he is also very good, he has been a child of other people's families since he was a child, and he has a certain amount of merit in civil and martial arts.

Growing up, I barely knew what failure was. Even the disaster of the Zheng family's extermination, with his efforts, turned things around. gave Mo Dengyong a hard time.

But he was still too tender.

If he is given enough growth, maybe Zheng Huaixing will be able to surpass Mo Dengyong in the future. But a dead genius is not a genius.

Mo Dengyong can save most of his men after the defeat of Thang Long and return to Haiyang.

But after Zheng Huaixing's defeat in Haiyang, he couldn't hold his position at all, of course, this also has something to do with Zheng Huaixing's soldiers.

Except for the Zheng family army, which was filled with Zheng's children, the other armies under Zheng Huaixing's command were still under Mo Dengyong's command a few months ago. Although the soldiers of this era were all soldiers and ate food, there was not so much senseless loyalty. Whose job is served, whose words are heard. It's just that they have such a relationship with Moh, which makes them even less burdened by surrendering.

When Zheng Huaixing was under Haiyang City, there were nearly 100,000 troops. But after being defeated by Haiyang, Mo Dengyong selected the last elite in Haiyang City, which was about 10,000. bit Zheng Huaixing's rear army, from Haiyang to Shenglong, Mo Dengyong defeated Zheng Huaixing three times in a row, and defeated Zheng Huaixing's army.

When Zheng Huaixing returned to Shenglong, Zheng Huaixing only had thousands of Zheng disciples in his hands. Mo Dengyong entered Shenglong from the secret passage again, and did not give Zheng Huaixing a breather at all, a set of combination punches, and hammered Zheng Huaixing to death.

Sometimes it's just a move between the winner and the loser.

This is also the reason why Mo Dengyong must kill all the Zheng family. If the Zheng family is not killed, once the Zheng family is resurrected, it will be difficult to do. And this little emperor is a restless person, instead of trying to find a way to intrigue with this little emperor again, Mo Dengyong simply changed to an emperor, anyway, there are countless descendants of the Li clan of Annan. Isn't it hard to find a puppet?

With Mo Dengyong's reign in Shenglong again, the prefectures and counties in the north and south of Annan almost fell in the wind. The prefectures and counties already had a large number of officials promoted by the Mo family. No matter who is in power, it is impossible to kill all officials. Basically, whoever is on top listens to whom. Mo Dengyong gained a firm foothold in the north, and there was one person who immediately felt that the edge was on his back, it was none other than Mo Dengyong's defeated general, Zheng Sui.

Zheng Sui had no doubt that once Mo Dengyong gained a firm foothold, he would immediately send troops south to eliminate him.

The current ruling center of Annam has always been centered on Thang Long, on the Red River Plain, many places in the south have been regarded as wild places, and the Thang Long area, in Zhu Houhuang's view, is not inferior to some inland prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, and the further south you go, the more desolate it becomes. When it comes to the area south of Da Nang, it is not much different from Champa China.

Such an economic environment determines that whoever controls the Red River Plain will control Annam.

And Yu Dayou's first move was to send someone to contact Zheng Sui and the old Chen family. To fight with them against Mordenyong.

Zheng Sui naturally knew that the Battle of Haiyang was greasy, and although Annam was a small country, there was no shortage of political intrigues. Especially in Annan's special chaos in the past few decades, all those who can hold high positions have been trained, ruthless and poisonous. Zheng Sui understood Yu Dayou's mind very well, but he would not refuse this, he decided that there were some things that the people below couldn't say clearly, so he simply drove lightly and went to Haiyun Pass to see Yu Dayou.

The sea clouds close.

Today's Haiyun Pass is no longer what it used to be.

Yu Dayou sits in Da Nang and attaches great importance to the Da Nang and Haiyun Pass defense lines, and Haiyun Pass is the key point among the key points. even threw a lot of military spending on Haiyun Official.

Today's Haiyun Pass has long since lost the traces left by Zhu Houhuang's siege, and the entire city has a new look.

Yu Dayou sat opposite Zheng Sui and said, "Master Zheng, you are really courageous. Aren't you afraid that I'm not good for adults? ”

"Haha." Zheng Sui smiled lightly, Zheng Sui and Mo Dengyong are the same generation, they are already over forty years old, this era can be called an old man, and there are some gray colors on their heads. said: "If you don't do anything, Zheng is just the day he will die, is there any difference between dying today and dying in the future?" Mo Lao'er regained the ascending dragon and fought for hegemony in the north, your Royal Highness can't sit still. ”

Yu Dayou smiled lightly, avoiding the topic of talking about Zhu Houhuang, and said: "Mo Dengyong is Lord Zheng's long-cherished enemy, Mo Dengyong is powerful, isn't Lord Zheng dangerous, Your Highness is willing to fund Lord Zheng and make a come---back."

"It's like a battle in Haiyang?" Zheng Sui asked.

"No, my Royal Highness only needs Lord Zheng and Chen Bing to go north to attract the attention of the Mo Clan, and the rest of My Highness will come by himself." Yu Dayou said.

Yu Dayou's various arrangements were not reported to Dongyong, and Zhu Houhuang gave Yu Dayou the right to make decisions at the beginning. The matter of supporting Mo Dengyong in the Battle of Haiyang was presided over by Yu Dayou.

Zheng Sui said: "Okay, His Royal Highness King Yong's good intentions, how can this official not accept it, but just for this one thing, there is no need for this official to take a big risk to come here." ”

Yu Dayou was also a little surprised, and asked, "So, what do you mean?" ”

Zheng Sui said: "I want to know, how did His Royal Highness King Yong arrange for Annan? ”

Zheng Sui is a smart person who never believes that there is no free lunch in the world. King Yong's interference with Annan during this period of time, after a little analysis, he knew that King Yong must have an intention against Annan, but what is this attempt? Zheng Sui still can't figure it out. So he had to ask. Asking this question is not Zheng Sui's deep love for Annan, but the opposite is to defend Annan to the death. Zheng Sui saw that if Mo Dengyong defeated King Yong, at that time, Mo Dengyong would go south, he would never be able to fight against it, if King Yong defeated Mo Dengyong, what did King Yong want to do to Annan, wouldn't he do whatever he wanted?

So Zheng Sui decided to sell himself at a good price, so he asked Yu Dayou, what are Zhu Houhuang's intentions for Annan? Do you want to collect it as a territory, or something else?

It's just such a thing, Yu Dayou can't say clearly, but he knows Zhu Houhuang's mind very well, for the land, Zhu Houhuang is never too little, although Zhu Houhuang did not say that Annan must be included as a territory, but if Annan is included as a territory, it is definitely a great achievement, and it will only be rewarded, not punished. Yu Dayou took a sip of tea lightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Zheng, what do you think His Royal Highness has for Annan?" ”
