The further south you go, the more difficult it becomes, with dense forests, humid air, fog covering the sky, and dark green foliage covering rocks and mud.

Jiaozhi, located in the Red River Valley, during the Chunxi period of the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty canonized Li Rixian of the Li Dynasty as the king of Annam, and then renamed the Kingdom of Annam. Later, the male heir of the Li dynasty was cut off, and the daughter succeeded to the throne and gave birth to a son, Chen Rixuan, and then turned into the Chen dynasty, in addition to claiming to be the king of China, and to other countries, he was called the emperor.

As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Annan experienced serious civil strife, his cousin Li Jichen usurped the throne, Chen Tianping, the grandson of the former king of Annan, asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di sent the governor Huang Zhong and his deputy Xue Yan to lead 5,000 soldiers to send him back to Annan to succeed to the throne, but he did not think that Li Jichen set up an ambush, not only killed Chen Tianping, but also killed Xue Yan.

Zhu Di was furious when he heard the news, and immediately sent Zhu Neng to lead an army of 800,000 (with a very high bragging component) to conquer Annan, with Zhu Neng as the chief commander and Zhang Fu as the deputy commander. After all, Zhang Fu had no experience in leading troops to fight independently, so Zhu Di specially asked Zhang Fu to follow Zhu Neng to exercise.

The miasma in the Annan area was more serious, and Zhu Neng contracted a disease not long after he arrived and died in the army; For a while, there was no suitable general who could serve as the coach, so Zhu Di directly asked Zhang Fu to become a regular and changed from deputy coach to coach. Although Zhang Fu was the first time to lead troops to fight independently, he knew how to scheming and power, and beat Li Jichen and others to flee.

The pacification of Annam meant that the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties was recovered; Zhu Di was very happy and directly named Zhang Fu as the British duke, Zhang Fu can be said to have gained fame and fortune in this battle, and sat firmly in the number one position under the buttocks.

Not long after the Annan Rebellion was pacified, there was another rebellion, and Zhu Di sent Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo, to quell the rebellion, but he was defeated; Zhu Di sent Zhang Fu over to continue to quell the rebellion.

Zhang Fu won many battles, Annan was defeated repeatedly, surrendered first, and then continued to rebel, which is really a headache.

Lu Chaoyang was a general of the Ming army in Jiaozhi, a while ago the general broke the enemy army in Aizijiang, and Lu Chaoyang's men suffered heavy losses, more than 400 brothers died only a few dozen people, and the battalion officer ordered him to recruit troops nearby.

But this conscription is just two words, but it is difficult to do.

The people are living a good life, who wants to tie their heads to their waists to join the army, not to mention that this place is sparsely populated, and they can't find anyone to catch strong men.

Just when Lu Chaoyang was worried, he suddenly saw a heavenly voice in his ears.

"Excuse me, are you the official in charge of conscription?"

Lu Chaoyang turned around to look, it was a handsome young man wearing a robe and riding a black horse, and next to the young man there was a black-robed man riding a high horse, and the black-robed man covered half of his face with a coarse linen scarf, and he was not too hot.

"Who are you?" Lu Chaoyang couldn't believe it.

"My name is Zhu Shilang, and I'm here to join the army." The boy rolled over and dismounted, smiling shyly.

……

"Where are you?" Lu Chaoyang was a little suspicious.

He has grown so big, and it is the first time he has seen a normal person come to the door to join the army, and ordinary people are not so scared that they pee their pants when they hear about the conscription.

Could it be that it was a small work sent by the enemy?

"I was born in Shuntianfu and my home is in Jinling." Zhu Gaoxian took out the paperwork from his sleeve, "Take a look, this is the guide and evidence for the two of us." ”

Lu Chaoyang took over the documents, and all kinds of anti-counterfeiting marks and procedures were complete, and there was no fraud.

"Is he?" Lu Chaoyang pointed at the black-robed man, a little puzzled.

"Oh, he's my servant Ah Qi." Zhu Gaoxian replied.

He couldn't tell Lu Chaoyang that this was the shadow servant sent by His Majesty the Emperor to protect Zhu Gaoxian.

"You are a young master of Jinling City, and you have traveled thousands of miles to join our army?" Lu Chaoyang was a little skeptical about life.

Who joined the army and brought a servant!

"Official, you can't say anything." Zhu Gaoxian scratched his head and said, "Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures." Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? ”

Lv Chaoyang: "? ”

Why do you think that I, an illiterate person, will understand the poetry you say?

"I don't understand it, but ...... I think you're a pretty good boy. Lu Chaoyang said, "I said in advance, the battlefield is not child's play, and it's still too late to leave." ”

Although Lu Chaoyang wished that a few more soldiers would join the army, he still wanted to persuade the "rich young master who didn't know the height of the sky" in front of him.

It's a pity that such a young son is dead now.

In Lu Chaoyang's memory, none of the people who came for military merit and knighthood were still alive, and the grave grass was extremely strong.

"My lord, I've walked thousands of miles, and I'm not going back." Zhu Gaoxian said.

"No regrets?" Lu Chaoyang asked.

"No regrets."

Lu Chaoyang nodded: "You kid, go, come with me to get the weapon." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhu Gaoxian said, "I came with weapons. ”

Only then did Lu Chaoyang notice that there was still a long strip of objects wrapped in linen hanging behind the young man's waist, and judging by the size, it should be a sword.

"Let me remind you, most of the swords played by your young masters are unsharpened and can't kill people." Lu Chaoyang said.

He had seen a young master from a rich and noble family come to join the army before, he was full of enthusiasm and brought his own weapons. It was only when he got to the battlefield that the young master found that his saber did not strike, and then he was trampled into a pulp by the enemy's cavalry.

These young masters from rich and noble families found a blacksmith to fight a sword, thinking that they were Li Bai who killed one person in ten steps and did not stay for thousands of miles, but in fact, they gave them a real knife with a sharp edge, and they might be able to play themselves to death.

Li Bai's poems are chic and romantic, attracting future generations to yearn for that leisurely chivalrous life.

Alas, it's all Li Bai's fault.

Ming Army Marshal Battalion

Zhang Fu, who was dressed in armor, stood in front of the map of Annan, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

"How effective is the rectification of the army these days?" Zhang Fu asked.

Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo, said: "The battalions have been recruiting troops, but the effect is average, but more than 4,000 new recruits have been added. ”

"More than four thousand...... That's enough, we need to hurry up now and take advantage of the victory. Zhang Fu pointed his finger on the map, "The Chen army is now camped in Siamman and Kunpu, they should have already constructed a defensive front, and if it drags on, our losses in the siege will be even greater." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo, is also a generation of famous generals, but he himself knows that Zhang Fu's talent is far superior to him.

Since Mu Sheng's defeat in the Shengji River, he no longer has the intention of fighting for power and profit with Zhang Fu in his heart, if Da Ming loses the battle because of him again, then Mu Sheng should kill himself and return to heaven.

Now Zhang Fu is responsible for all the affairs in the army, and Mu Sheng's task is to be Zhang Fu's deputy general.

Zhang Fu suddenly remembered an important thing and asked, "That Prince Qi from Jinling City, should the time come?" ”

Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be ...... It's time to arrive. ”
