The fourth battle took place more than twenty days after the third, and it was already late February. In this battle, Bandit Jia fought carefully, obviously carefully planned and prepared. The battle began to be the same as in the previous battles, except that the surrendered soldiers were first taken to a camp not far from the defense line for a while, and then taken to Loquat Valley after the battle was over. After reaching a certain number, this group of soldiers immediately counterattacked, killed the guards with their bare hands, took the blades and clothes, and then turned back to the bottom of the mountain to kill. This time, it was still mixed in with martial arts masters, which caught Suoyun off guard, and a bloody battle was launched within the defense line of the Northern Army, and finally under the leadership of Zheng Xiunian and the generals stationed in various mountain roads, after paying a heavy price, all the soldiers surrendered by fraud. One of the soldiers who surrendered to the army cried out in despair before he died: "I don't want to kill you, if I don't kill you, my family will die!"

Subsequently, in the tent of the commander of the Wanqing Mountain North Army, the generals debated on the issue of whether to accept the surrendered bandits and soldiers, and they were afraid that they would surrender by fraud, but it would put our soldiers in a dangerous situation. The argument was inconclusive, and Chen Danqiu, the commander of the Northern Army stationed on the Wanqingshan defense line, did not express his position, nor did Zheng Xiunian, the governor of soldiers and horses specially sent to command the battle of surrender.

After this battle, Zheng Xiunian was almost stationed in the prisoner camp, tirelessly talking to the prisoners, fully understanding the situation of the conscription of the Bandit Jiaguo, and then successively released some prisoners back.

The fifth battle did not meet until the end of March. The bandit Jia side was still cautious, and sent many generals and foggy black barbarians to supervise the battle in the back, and made a strict order that as long as the bandit soldiers dared to strip and abandon their guns, they would be shot immediately. Therefore, almost no soldiers in this battle stripped off their clothes and begged for surrender, and they attacked with vigor, and Zheng Xiunian ordered the defense line to slowly retreat. Just when the battle was in full swing, the rear of the bandit camp suddenly mutinied, many bandit soldiers turned their long lance arrows, and killed the generals and foggy barbarians who were attacking the mountain, and the bandit soldiers who were attacking the mountain also quickly withdrew from the mountain and joined the mutiny team.

Zheng Xiunian regained the retreating defense line on all fronts, and ordered sixty percent of the soldiers to stick to the defense line of Wanqingshan, and forty percent of the soldiers to attack, kill the bandit Jia barracks, and help the mutinous soldiers to chase and kill the bandit generals and the foggy black barbarians. Although the forty percent of the soldiers on Suoyun's side are only about 20,000, compared to the 100,000 soldiers forcibly recruited by Bandit Jia from all over the country, it is too few, but most of the bandit soldiers are unwilling to be soldiers, and they are even more unwilling to attack their compatriots for the foggy black barbarians, they are all forced to come, and there is no talk of military morale at all, after the mutiny, only some bandit generals and about 30,000 foggy black barbarians can not stop the pressure of 100,000 mutinous soldiers and 20,000 Suoyun soldiers, and the barracks of bandit Jia and foggy black barbarians are quickly occupied, and the Wanqingshan front in the section of Suoyun country retreats。

In this battle, Suo Yunfang won a complete victory, annihilated more than 20,000 Wuhei barbarian soldiers, and collected a large number of grain, grass and materials from the Wuhei barbarians and the bandit Jia army. Suo Yunjun took advantage of the victory to pursue, and by the way, recovered some small towns at the foot of Wanqing Mountain. The defense line of Suoyun's army advanced more than fifty miles from the top of Wanqing Mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

After the wind was reported, it was immediately approved: those small towns can be guarded, but they can't be withdrawn, or they should mainly defend Wanqingshan, and they should not lose their troops for this.

The foggy black barbarians quickly organized a counterattack, and those small towns were in no danger, and Suo Yunjun's army withdrew to Wanqingshan after only a few small ambushes. The 80,000 soldiers who had surrendered were still afraid of fraudulent surrender, and except for a few soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to the rebellion and were retained in the northern army, all the others were sent to the south to stock up on the fields. Because of their mutiny, they promised to be released as long as they hoarded the land for a year.

At this point, neither the bandit nor the foggy barbarian soldiers dared to launch a full-front campaign against Wanqing Mountain, and only occasionally launched some battles for local mountain passes. And the Kugga Dynasty also knows that it is a strong conscript, which is unpopular, although the number of troops looks large, but the combat power is extremely weak, and it is forced to be anxious, and it has to bite back, which is completely incomparable with the strong Jia ** team in the past. Therefore, the bandit generals did not dare to force their soldiers to fight against the Three Kingdoms in the middle route, and most of them only assisted the foggy black barbarians in various cities and places across the country to hold on to their territories, and they collected grain and taxes in a threatening manner, and so on.

In mid-June, He Yue recruited Zheng Xiunian to return to the capital to report on his work, representing the end of the battle of surrender.

Historical records: From the first month of the third year of the Jing Rebellion to April, our army fought five consecutive battles with the bandits, annihilating more than 110,000 bandit soldiers, annihilating more than 20,000 foggy black troops, capturing more than 120,000 bandits, and surrendering more than 80,000 people. The battle was commanded by Zheng Xiunian as the governor of the soldiers and horses.

Since then, the situation of confrontation between China and foreign countries in the Fengmeng Continent has basically been established. Although the Three Kingdoms on the Middle Route were surrounded by the Bandit Jia and the Foggy Black Barbarians, neither side dared to cross the defense line of Juanshui and Chilin River and Wanqingshan easily.

Zheng Xiunian became famous in the first battle, especially in the fifth war, the strategy of attacking the heart, the plan of discord, and the surprising victory, which made the generals admire. After the debriefing, he was promoted two levels in a row, from the sixth-rank army to the fourth-rank deputy commander, and temporarily led the troops in the northern camp of the Gyeonggi garrison.

Zheng Xiunian came back, saw his five-month-old daughter, very happy, according to the Zheng family's character ranking, named his daughter Zheng Rui'an, in the troubled times, not seeking wealth, but seeking stability.

Zheng Xiunian saw the wind dye, and only smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Feng Ran only replied lightly: "It should be." Then he split the conversation, and only talked about how cute An'er was, how funny, and doting on his face.

Since He Yue dispersed the dynasty in advance, caught Feng Ran in the Commander's Mansion, the two tore their faces, and after the words were opened, He Yue really said what he said, no matter when Feng Ran sneaked into the Commander's Mansion, He Yue never appeared again, but it seems that the subordinates of the Commander's Mansion are serving people more and more, and soon after the wind dye comes, someone will serve tea and snacks; when the tea is cold, it will be brewed and replaced over and over again; when the wind dyes come at night, they will not serve tea, and it will become white fungus soup or lotus seed soup, red date soup and the like; they don't care about removing the cold ones again and again and replacing them with hot ones; every once in a while, someone will remind them to take a walk, relax and refresh their muscles and bones, don't get tired of sitting; and if they don't wait for dark, they will light lamps and candlesWhen the wind dye is about to leave, there will be a subordinate who will carry a lamp and candle to the corner gate...... Feng Ran naturally knew that it was not the subordinates who could serve him, but there was just such a person who silently cared about him and was good to him. Once or twice, when the wind was in the study, I heard the man's footsteps approaching gently, and then he paused outside the study, stopped for a long time, and then left softly again.

But Feng Ran didn't know what to do, he didn't mind "eating" with He Yue, but He Yue refused to "eat" with him, between them, except for the monarch and ministers, except for eating, Feng Ran didn't know what He Yue wanted.

From the first month to June, Feng Ran and He Yue have also met a few times, but every time they meet, He Yue is far away from Feng Ran, for fear of provoking Feng Ran. The two of them also discussed military, political and state affairs in a serious manner, and did not involve a word in private affairs at all.

Through He Yue, Feng Ran commanded the dark department to infiltrate the Gangjia court and assassinate the high-ranking officials and important ministers of the Gangjia in order to counter the assassination of the Three Kingdoms in the middle of the road.

Then Feng Ran mobilized his soldiers through He Yue, infiltrated the vast rear of the bandits, launched a riot, and established more than a dozen bandit hills of all sizes by the mountains and rivers, and from time to time went down the mountain to kill the bandits or foggy, and contained a lot of troops. Many people in the Fengmeng Continent were overwhelmed by the persecution of the double exploitation and oppression of the bandits and the foggy, and constantly caused many spontaneous small riots.

All of a sudden, bandits of all sizes in the rear of the bandit were widely infested, real bandits and fake bandits were rampant, the common people were miserable and displaced, the fertile and flat Tianluyuan and the northern part of the Zaoqiu Plain were abandoned on a large scale, and in the first half of the three years of the Jingchao rebellion, it was almost foreseeable that there would be a serious famine in the country that was about to come.

After Feng Ran asked for permission to He Yue, he sent a reliable person to the north and got in touch with Cai Tonghe and Ran Qiuyang. As for overthrowing the bandits, after driving away the foggy black, the relationship between them can be discussed again.

After receiving Zheng Xiunian's urgent report from the front, Feng Ran sent out a secret department through He Yue to rob and kill several large camps where the families of important soldiers were imprisoned, and stole the conscription rosters from various places and burned them, secretly relieving the worries of the soldiers in front of the bandits, and only then did they mutiny.

Kankan is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, this time, He Yue did not pretend to be the only name of Zhuang, but asked the harem imperial dining room to make a lot of moon cakes and dishes, and distributed them to the courtiers. The reward for the wind dye is different, and the servant directly sent four food boxes to carry all kinds of festival things. The only lonely old man in the village was merciful, and he took the initiative to invite the only one in the village to come to Rongyuan to eat cakes and admire the moon together. Zhuang only likes the pickles made by Ji Ziyan, and knows that Ji Ziyan originally grew up in the north, so he especially likes to remember the old things in the north with Ji Ziyan, and when he talks about it, both of them have tears in their eyes. Zhuang is the only frequent visitor to Rong Yuan, so he doesn't avoid suspicion.

In the midst of the war, in a corner of peace, everyone gets together and has a peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival, which is particularly cherished. Feng Ran looked at the courtyard, there were old, young, men, and women, and it was the most comfortable Mid-Autumn Festival he had in these years.

Sitting in the small courtyard and watching the moon for a while, Ji Ziyan and An Ge'er cleaned up and fell asleep, and the three men discussed the current situation for a while, and talked nonsense for a while, and when they arrived at the beginning of the year, they dispersed. Zheng Xiunian was in the military and went back to Beiying. Feng Ran saw that it was so late, Zhuang Wei had to be escorted by a few people, and he was afraid that he would be plotted by Bandit Jia's killers, so he personally sent Zhuang Wei back to the Commander's Mansion.

When he arrived at the corner gate of the Commander's Mansion, Zhuang Wei asked Feng Ran if he wanted to enter the mansion to sit down. Feng Ran thought, he came here, and he was not sleepy anyway, so he went into the house to approve the official documents.

Feng Ran entered the mansion and went all the way to the study, and saw He Yue walking out with a few imperial guards and personal attendants.
