"Naslunfa abolished all the local officials in the territory and sent his own cronies to manage them. They were also divided into different sizes according to their rank, and distributed to them as hereditary domains. So it is very popular with my own people. After more than ten years of his governance, the country of Luchuan can be said to be rich and strong, with enough soldiers and food, even more so when his father was in power. Feng Cheng finally concluded.

"It's really awesome." Zhu Zhen was fine before, and after listening to the last paragraph, he was also convinced. "He did what the king wanted to do the most, and the country hasn't been messed up yet, it's really a heifer on a plane......"

"What do you mean?" Feng Cheng looked curious.

"It's not interesting." Zhu Zhen coughed and said, "So isn't it, Si Lunfa thinks that by building a city in Yongchang, we are violating the sphere of influence of the Luchuan Kingdom?" ”

"It should be." Feng Cheng nodded.

"It's a fart!" Zhu Zhen brushed down the donkey's face, glared and said: "The territory of the so-called Luchuan Kingdom, except for the Ahong Kingdom of Nalaoshzi, is not all the original Yuan Dynasty's Thirty-six Roads and Forty-eight Dian, as well as Yuangan and Weiyuan Mansions?" In the past, the Yuan Dynasty was managed by officials, but it was just seized by Nasi Khanfa who took advantage of China's civil strife! ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Feng Cheng hurriedly changed his words and said: "The entire so-called Luchuan Country is an inseparable part of my Ming Dynasty. Naslunfa is a sinner who tries to divide and divide the country, and he will be punished by heaven! ”

"That's what it sounds like." Zhu Zhen's expression was slightly gloomy and said, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?" How can my Ming territory allow such a state within a country to exist?! ”

"What the prince said is that the strength of the Luchuan puppet regime should not be underestimated, and we still have to think about it in the long run." Feng Cheng said softly.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen is as good as a stream this time: "Indeed, if you want to eradicate such a big regime in three or two clicks, it is tantamount to a fool's dream." You have to think about what to do. ”

"Yes." Feng Cheng responded.

"Do you think Xipinghou will suffer in the face of such a strong enemy?" Zhu Zhen was a little worried: "Do you want to try to reinforce it?" ”

"I don't need it for the time being." Feng Cheng thought for a moment and said: "First, the 10,000 elite cavalry led by Deputy General Zuo is his old army that has been tempered for thousands of years, not to mention that one is ten, but it is not a problem at all to face three or five times the enemy." ”

"Second, Deputy General Zuo is like a god in his soldiers, even if he can't take advantage, he will never suffer. Thirdly, we have no troops to use...... All the departments of the southern army are fighting outside, the provincial capital originally had 20,000 garrisons, in the rebellion of Yang Tho last month, more than 4,000 soldiers were lost, and now the defense of the city is overstretched, how can there be troops to support Xiping Hou. ”

As he spoke, he paused and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Xiping Hou was originally here to support us. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen nodded in understanding, and ordered in a deep voice: "Inform the Marquis of Yongchang and the Marquis of Yongchang of the situation, and ask them to transfer troops as much as possible, return to the provincial capital, and prepare for a battle with the Luchuan Si clan." ”

"There is news from Xipinghou, I want to report it as soon as possible." Zhu Zhen ordered again: "You also have to send out the selection of forwards to prepare, if necessary, we will send out to reinforce Xiping Hou!" ”

"What about the provincial capital?" Feng Cheng asked worriedly.

"Remember, if you save people and lose land, you will save people, and if you save land, you will lose people." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the last general will remember the teachings of the prince." Feng Cheng chuckled in his heart, knowing that the prince was implicitly criticizing himself, and in the previous rebellion of Yang Tho, he had lost too many troops.

"In addition," Zhu Zhen looked at Hu Xian again and asked, "Where are my uncles?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, my father and they are almost in Guizhou, right?" Hu Xian replied softly.

"Push, let them speed up." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice, and explained to Feng Cheng as he spoke: "The three guards of this king have also been transferred to Yunnan this time. ”

"That's great!" Feng Cheng said excitedly: "There are three guards of the prince in Kunming City, and the ministers can rest assured that they can go on the expedition." ”

"Then you'll have to discuss it with my uncle." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "He didn't fight Yunnan before, so he had a stomach for me, and this time he made a lot of effort to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

~~

As a result, Zhu Zhen and Feng Chengbai were worried, Mu Ying didn't need any reinforcements, so they beat the Luchuan army away and rescued the captured Wang Zhen......

At the end of the month, Mu Ying led 10,000 cavalry back to Kunming City.

"Hahaha, Brother Wen Ying is out of the horse, and it's really a top two!" Zhu Zhen personally went out of the city to greet him, and happily had a bear hug with Mu Ying.

"It worries His Highness." Seeing Zhu Zhen, Mu Ying was also very happy, threw the troops to the deputy general, and entered the city with the prince and returned to the palace of the king of Yunnan.

"The battle report is vague, let's talk about the details of this battle." Zhu Zhen poured tea for Mu Ying with his own hands, and couldn't wait to ask.

"It's not that it's vague, it's really lackluster." Mu Ying took the teacup with both hands and said with a wry smile: "The last general led the army across the Lancang River and arrived in Yongchang, the Luchuan army had already demolished Yongchang City and withdrawn its troops. ”

"I judge from the traces they left that not long after they left, they led their troops to chase after them, and caught up with the Luchuan army that was preparing to cross the Nu River sixty miles away."

"They didn't expect us to come so quickly, and hurriedly lined up on the back of the river, and at the same time sent messengers to negotiate with me, saying that they had no intention of being enemies with the Ming Dynasty, but just hoped that the two sides would continue to take the Lancang River as the boundary, and as long as we did not cross the river, they would be willing to hand over the seal letter granted by the Yuan Dynasty and continue to serve the Ming Dynasty." Mu Ying sighed lightly and said:

"To show their sincerity, they are willing to release Wang Zhen and more than 1,000 captured soldiers and civilians on the spot."

"The last general takes into account that the enemy is outnumbered, and he fights against the water, and if he really wants to fight, our army may not be able to bargain." Mu Ying said softly: "Besides, whether it is war or peace, it is not something that the last general can put his beak." In the end, the general bravely agreed to their request, and after retrieving the prisoners, he allowed them to cross the river. ”

As he spoke, he got up and clasped his fists and said, "If there is any mishandling of the general, please punish His Highness." ”

"Brother Wen Ying, sit down, you handled it very properly, what is there to punish?" Zhu Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "After learning about the strength of this Luchuan country, what I am most worried about is that you don't know their details and suffer their losses." ”

After speaking, he concisely told Mu Ying the information he learned about the Luchuan Kingdom.

Mu Ying's face suddenly changed after hearing this: "No wonder I see that the soldiers of the Luchuan army are wearing bronze armor, holding javelins, and there are war elephants, which are more magnificent than the armies of King Liang and Duan, it turns out that they are the strongest force in Yunnan." ”

"Yes." Zhu Zhen said: "This so-called Luchuan Kingdom has surpassed the concept of Tusi, it is a serious secession regime, we must play the emperor and think long-term." ”

After a pause, he said categorically: "But no matter what, we must completely destroy them!" In my Ming land, there is no such awesome existence. ”
