Cao Dahao and Zhang Zisheng played together the next day, asking Su Yan to let them return to the front line.

After Su Yan watched their recital, he also knew that he had snubbed the two of them, so he agreed to their request, and after thinking about it again, he still didn't transfer the two together.

He appointed Cao Dahao as the brigade commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade and went to Shaanxi to take up his post.

After Su Yan's appointment, Cao Dahao and Zhang Zisheng were naturally happy, and then the two made an appointment to have a drink at the Flower Workshop, and after receiving the order from the Ministry of War, the two agreed to make some achievements, and then went north and south.

……

In July, a military newspaper sent from the southwest once again drew the court's attention to the distant frontier.

In June, Sun Kewang resolutely abandoned the presence of Meng Gen, who he had been operating for many years, and abandoned the city to the south with a large amount of gold and silver treasures, food and population, and the puppet general Wang Ziqi also lifted the siege of Meng Yang and led his army south to join Sun Kewang.

Before leaving, Sun Kewang and Sun Zhengqi reluctantly looked back at the city where they had lived for five years, the glorious Qin Imperial Palace was set on fire and burned, and the entire city was also plunged into a sea of fire.

This time, Sun Kewang did not secretly swear before leaving Yunnan that he would one day counterattack back, he looked at the fire, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant, and now he was over fifty years old, his temples were gray, and he could no longer see the courage and perseverance of the past from him.

After watching for a long time, Sun Kewang let out a long sigh, and he said to Sun Zhengqi beside him: "Remember this day, when I hand over Daqin to you in a hundred years, I will definitely lie down and taste courage to avenge today's revenge."

After the two armies converged, before the Xia army noticed it, they drilled into the territory of the Lanna Kingdom, which was unfamiliar to the northerners, and after a few days of the Qin army went south, Liu Wenxiu was able to lead a large army to kill outside the city of Menggen, at this time the city of Menggong had become a ruin, full of white land, no longer prosperous in the past.

Subsequently, the Xia army occupied the area, arrested its inhabitants everywhere, probed the whereabouts of the Qin army, and reported to the imperial court to reintegrate Meng Gong into the jurisdiction of the Yunnan political envoys.

The report received by the imperial court was sent by Liu Wenxiu after he inquired about the movements of the Qin army, and the Qin army only took a few days to cross most of the Lanna Kingdom, and the Lanna monarchs and ministers trembled in the face of the powerful Qin army, and only dared to hide within the strong city walls, watching the Qin army swaggering through their own land.

After the Qin army left, the monarch of Lanna dared to send two emissaries tremblingly, one to the south to Ayutbaya to report the matter to the nominal suzerain, and the other to the north to report to the Northern Celestial Empire, which had entered the country strongly.

When Liu Wenxiu learned about this, he instantly guessed the intention of his brother-in-law, who had known him for many years, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, sighing for Sun Kewang's tenacity.

Guessing Sun Kewang's intentions, Liu Wenxiu decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and he ordered Li Mingzhong of Meng Yang to lead his army south to join him, while sending envoys south to the Lanna Kingdom, and ordered the Lanna Kingdom to open the border with harsh words to assist the Celestial Dynasty Wang Shi in pursuing the rebels.

What happened later was not mentioned in the military newspaper, and it may not have had time to write about it, but the above content was enough to make the court and China talk about it again, and the ministers obviously had not yet gotten out of the habit of being officials in the Ming Dynasty, and many of them criticized Liu Wenxiu's unauthorized attack and set foot on the territory of other countries, believing that Liu Wenxiu's move would damage the face of the Celestial Empire.

Su Yan was almost laughed at when he heard these voices, he also remembered the officials who danced the most, and he noticed that these people who jumped out to criticize Liu Wenxiu were all middle- and lower-level officials, and those high-level officials like the Six Books of Shangshu were all silent.

For these voices, Su Yan waved his hand, and directly demoted them to the place, and said bluntly at the court meeting: "The Duke of Shu is dedicated to the country, how can you allow Er and others to slander and sow discord in front of me, not to mention that the whole world is not the king's land, even if it is a small country in the Southern Barbarians, how can my Daxia soldiers not be able to set foot in it? If he has a whisper, my Great Xia King Division will definitely send troops to levy it, so that the six divisions will move it and take its land!"

Su Yan's domineering remarks suddenly made the court silent, and soon, hundreds of officials praised the emperor's might.

Since Su Yandu supported Liu Wenxiu so strongly, then smart people knew not to jump out to give the emperor eye medicine at this time, and they wisely skipped this topic and discussed Sun Kewang's intention to run south again.

Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the military department, also saw through Sun Kewang's intentions at a glance, he thought that Sun Kewang was going south this time to occupy the magpie's nest and occupy the southern barbarian land to avoid the imperial court's conquest, if the imperial court let Sun Kewang survive as it did five years ago, and the future war would start again, the imperial court would have to pay a greater price than pursuing Sun Kewang now to completely eliminate Sun Qin.

Therefore, Zhang Huangyan proposed that the army should be sent under Liu Wenxiu's command, so that he could pursue Sun Kewang with all his might, so that Sun Kewang would not have a chance to breathe, and even if Sun Kewang fled to the ends of the earth, he should be killed.

Zhang Huangyan admonished like this, not because he had an enmity with Sun Kewang, but an old saying - "There are no two days in the sky", even if Sun Kewang fled to the land of Nanban, he still called himself the Son of Heaven, there can only be one Son of Heaven, Su Yan is a well-deserved Son of Heaven, then Sun Kewang must completely eliminate it.

Five years ago, Sun Kewang was allowed to develop in Menggong, just to be able to find an opportunity to intervene in Southeast Asia, and now that the goal has been achieved, Sun Kewang fled to Ayutoya again, and Su Yan can also make excuses when he is in deep pursuit, and by the way, Lanna and Ayutoya will attack together, so as to maximize Sun Kewang's use value.

Thinking of this, Su Yan agreed to Zhang Huangyan's advice, and ordered the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office to formulate a transfer plan and submit it to him within two days at the latest.

Then, the meeting ended.

Zhang Huangyan and Zhang Mingzhen are very efficient, the two have known each other for many years, and they have fought side by side before, so there is naturally a tacit understanding, so it doesn't take two days, the two entered the palace together the next night and reported the plan to Su Yan to transfer troops.

Considering that there would be a war in Jiaozhi in the future, the military department and the governor's office did not include the second town in the list of those who participated in the war, and they decided to mobilize Lu Shanbo, Liu Zhenguo, and Hou Linzhong, who had stayed in the southwest to assist in the reform of the land, and Hou Linzhong of Pingding, and other soldiers and horses to go south and be transferred by Liu Wenxiu.

After the land was changed and returned, there was no need for the old-style army that had been left behind in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangzhou, and other places to continue to stay, and the transfer of the military department and the governor's palace just perfectly solved the ownership of these two troops and horses.

In addition to these two troops, they also deployed the Sixth Town, which was being formed in the southwest at this time, and if the military operation to pursue Sun Kewang failed, they would divide their troops from the Sixth Town to the south to supplement Liu Wenxiu's military strength.

Su Yan agreed to the transfer plan of the two, and he appointed Liu Zhenguo and Lin Zhong as the deputy generals of the expedition to the south, and ordered the two of them to go south to participate in the war under the order of the governor's office.

In addition, he also granted Liu Wenxiu the right to act cheaply, and ordered him to pursue Sun Kewang with all his might......
