After Li Hongwu finished this, he hurriedly ordered his generals to count the remaining soldiers and horses, and soon after, all the generals reported back one after another, saying that there were still about 120,000 soldiers and horses. When Li Hongwu heard that there were still so many soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, thanks to the fact that the cavalry of the Yanyun Army is not here, otherwise, the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Yue Li Dynasty will suffer even more heavy losses! Li Hongwu still has 120,000 soldiers and horses, and Shi Liancheng used only 30,000 soldiers and horses for pursuit, and the number of troops can be said to be four times that of Shi Liancheng, but Li Hongwu has no intention of fighting back, and only wants to flee for his life! In fact, now he is not only thinking like this, everyone in the Vietnamese army has become a frightened bird, and no one wants to turn around and fight with Yan Yunjun, just want to flee back to China as soon as possible. This may also be the characteristic of the Vietnamese army, it is particularly rampant when fighting a good battle, but once it loses the battle, the morale will be wiped out in an instant, and the only thing that is focused on escaping for his life will not be able to contain it at all!

Li Hongwu let out a long sigh and muttered, "I didn't expect that the invincible war elephant army we were facing would collapse like this!" ”

A subordinate general said with trepidation: "Those cattle they released will actually be on fire, is this the demon law of the Han people!" Everyone looked terrified.

An officer suddenly crashed in and shouted, "Oh no, no! Yan Yunjun is here again! Everyone was shocked, and Li Hongwu shouted: "So fast!?" As if in response to his words, there was a thrilling rush from outside, followed by chaotic shouts from within the city. One of the generals was shocked and shouted, "What's going on, is the city lost!" Before the words fell, I saw an officer covered in blood rush in, and without saluting, he hurriedly said: "No, it's not good!" The city has been breached! ”

Everyone was furious, Li Hongwu grabbed the officer and shouted hysterically: "You are talking nonsense! Yan Yunjun is not an immortal, how could he break through the city! ”

The officer said hurriedly: "They, some of them are mixed with our rout, not long ago they suddenly attacked the city gate, and the Yan Yun army outside the city came in!" Li Hongwu was shocked and speechless for a long time. The sounds of fighting and chaotic shouts outside grew louder and louder. A subordinate general hurriedly said to Li Hongwu: "Prince, hurry up, or it will be too late!" Other generals chimed in. Li Hongwu frowned and shouted hysterically: "I'm not leaving!" Our Great Viet Army is invincible! is invincible! The generals looked at each other and were secretly annoyed: Why did the prince still say that these things were useless at this time!

Li Hongwu shouted: "We still have 120,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to defeat the opponent's 30,000 horses!" If our hundreds of thousands of horses are chased by their 30,000 horses, won't it make the world laugh! When did our Great Vietnamese Army ever be so! When the generals heard this, they fell silent, and some impulses could not help rising in their hearts.

Li Hongwu suddenly pulled out his sword, raised it high, and shouted: "The Great Vietnamese Army is invincible in the world!" The generals were shocked, and they couldn't help but pull out their swords and raise them high, shouting: "The Great Vietnamese Army is invincible in the world!" Li Hongwu pointed the treasure knife out of the door and shouted: "Everyone follow me and destroy Yan Yunjun!" The generals shouted in unison.

Li Hongwu and others rushed out of the camp and gathered troops and horses to counterattack. Under the encouragement of Li Hongwu and others, the officers and men of the Vietnamese army slowly walked out of their panic and began to fight back. The 120,000 Vietnamese troops came from all directions to besiege the Yanyun army that had invaded the city, and the situation gradually began to become unfavorable to the Yanyun army.

Yan Yunjun was iron-blooded, killing step by step, stepping on the corpses and blood of the Vietnamese soldiers and constantly advancing, and the Vietnamese soldiers fell one by one, like wheat straw harvested by a harvester! The courage mustered by the Vietnamese army was gradually crushed by the iron-blooded, ruthless, fierce and brave Yan Yun army, and began to retreat! When Li Hongwu and the others saw this, they were shocked, and shouted at the top of their voices to motivate the soldiers to work hard! However, the officers and men of the Vietnamese army were afraid of the strength and ruthlessness of the Yanyun army, and they did not listen to Li Hongwu and others at all, and they still continued to retreat, even if Li Hongwu slashed and killed several officers who escaped, it was to no avail!

Suddenly, Shi Liancheng rushed through the Vietnamese army with guns until he was in front of Li Hongwu. Li Hongwu was shocked, and immediately subconsciously waved his sword to fight! I saw that the long knife in Shi Liancheng's hand slashed down from top to bottom like a thunderbolt, and Li Hongwu hurriedly raised the treasure knife! There was a loud snap, and the two blades slammed together, and sparks flew everywhere! Li Hongwu's arm immediately became numb, and he couldn't hold the treasure knife anymore, and the treasure knife flew towards the rear violently! Li Hongwu was so frightened that his soul flew away, and then he saw the opponent sweeping horizontally, and the exclamations of the Vietnamese soldiers sounded around him, Li Hongwu desperately dodged, but after all, he was still a step slower, only heard a thud, only felt the cold swept across his chest, and a piercing cold rushed straight to his heart and lungs, Li Hongwu only felt that he was going to die! The whole person involuntarily flipped backwards and fell off the horse.

The surrounding Vietnamese soldiers were frightened and rushed to the rescue, and several Vietnamese generals waved sick monsters to besiege Shi Liancheng. Shi Liancheng shouted in the Vietnamese language he had just learned while wielding his sword and fighting fiercely with the Vietnamese generals: "Li Hongwu is dead!" Li Hongwu is dead! When he shouted, all the Yanyun soldiers also shouted, and for a while, the shout of 'Li Hongwu is dead' resounded in the sky. The soldiers of the Vietnamese army looked towards the place where Li Hongwu was on the move, only to see that Yan Yun was cutting down one of his generals from his horse, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was nowhere to be seen. Everyone believed it and thought that Li Hongwu was really dead, and the Yue army already felt that they couldn't resist the fierce Yan Yun army, but at this time, they were even more terrified, and they couldn't resist it even more, but Yan Yun army attacked even more fiercely! The officers and men of the Vietnamese army could no longer resist it, and they completely collapsed, and the army was defeated like a mountain!

Yan Yunjun pursued bravely and moved forward! Li Hongwu, who was not lightly injured, was carried by the tide of his own soldiers and fled to the west, dizzy, feeling that he was having a nightmare again!

Yan Yun's army defeated the Vietnamese army again, and the Vietnamese army escaped from Fusui and fled in a hurry to the southwest. Yan Yunjun continued the pursuit.

Yelu Hanyu led the army to hurry up and finally arrived in Nanning. However, none of the imaginary bad situations appeared, Nanning City was safe and sound, and I heard that Shi Liancheng led the defenders to successfully counterattack the Vietnamese army under the city not long ago, and the Vietnamese army was defeated like a mountain and fled to the southwest! Yelu Hanyu has been a well-known general in the world since he was the eldest princess of Da Liao, but when he heard that Shi Liancheng had destroyed his opponent's 200,000 army with 30,000 soldiers and horses, he still couldn't help but be shocked!

Yelu Hanyu immediately crossed the Yongjiang River non-stop to support Shi Liancheng. Soon after, the good news came again, saying that Shi Liancheng had defeated the Vietnamese army again in Fusui, and the remnants of the Vietnamese army would continue to flee after defeat. Yelu Hanyu couldn't help laughing, feeling that the problem of Yue Li Dynasty didn't need to be solved by himself! A few days later, the army led by Yelu Hanyu and the army led by Shi Liancheng converged in Gong'an County south of the Ming River. When Yelu Hanyu saw Shi Liancheng, he smiled and exclaimed: "Uncle is really extraordinary, winning more with less, this battle is really beautiful!" Shi Liancheng laughed, "I finally didn't lose Nanning!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to meet my big brother! By the way, sister-in-law, how is the situation in other places? ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "Guangnan East Road, Fujian Road, Liangzhejiang Road, and Jiangnan East Road have all been recovered, and now that Guangnan West Road has been recovered, there will only be one Qiongzhou left!" Shi Liancheng said excitedly: "The Han land is finally going to be unified!" Yelu Hanyu nodded and said, "This is the end of a split, but the beginning of a powerful empire!" ”

A scout rushed into the camp and reported: "Commander of the cavalry, the remnants of the Vietnamese army have fled back to the country over the 100,000 mountains!" ”

Shi Liancheng said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, let's chase it!" Now that the Vietnamese army has suffered heavy losses, the morale of the army is weakened, and my sister-in-law has brought a large army, which is a great opportunity to attack the Yue Li Dynasty in one fell swoop! ”

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "Our army's plan is only to recover the Liangguang region, and if we want to capture the Yue Li Dynasty, we are not fully prepared. Moreover, the officers and men of our army in the north are really not adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south, and now there are many sick people in the army, and they are increasing every day, even if they are not sick, they obviously cannot play the level of peacetime, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced! Therefore, now is not the right time to attack the Viet Li Dynasty! Shi Liancheng felt that what his sister-in-law said made sense, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "Then, now let's focus on pacifying the Jiangnan place!" ”

Yelu Hanyu nodded, "Yes." Jiangnan has just experienced the flames of war, and our army has just entered Jiangnan, and the people still have some doubts about us, and some people are only afraid that they still have delusions. We must not be careless, we must handle the Jiangnan issue carefully! If something goes wrong, you and I won't be able to explain it to my eldest brother! Shi Liancheng nodded with a smile, hugged his fists and said, "But according to my sister-in-law's orders!" ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Since this is the case, I am not welcome. Uncle, please work hard again and lead your soldiers and horses to Leizhou to cooperate with the naval army to capture Qiongzhou. Shi Liancheng hugged his fists and promised, and said: "Without further ado, I will lead the army immediately!" He immediately left the camp, and soon after, Shi Liancheng led his 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses towards Leizhou.

As soon as Shi Liancheng left on the front foot, Zhao Heng's messenger arrived on the back foot. When he saw Yelu Hanyu, he immediately bowed and bowed, and said humbly: "Princess Qiqi, the villain is specially ordered by Shen Yu to ask Lord Shen to come to meet the princess!" Princess Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! Yelu Hanyu smiled and asked, "Aren't you Zhao Heng's envoy?" Why did you say that it was on Shen Yuqiu's orders? Presumably there is some good news for Shen Yuqiu, right? The envoy bowed with a flattering face: "Lord Shen said that he has always wanted to make contributions to Yan Yun and Yan Wang, but he has never had a good opportunity, and now he finally seized the opportunity, so he immediately decided to do a big thing!" ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Oh? It seems that Lord Shen has finally lived up to King Yan's expectations of him! The envoy said with a smile: "A few days ago, Lord Shen and the prefect of Qiongzhou suddenly launched a mutiny, and Zhao Heng, who did not know the mandate of heaven, as well as all the members of the royal family and the squires of the Shi clan, were arrested. The villain is here to report to Niangniang on behalf of Lord Shen and Lord Prefect! Lord Shen and Lord Shen will soon lead soldiers and horses to escort Zhao Heng and others to come to offer victory! Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Very good! Lord Shen and the prefect of Qiongzhou have made such a contribution, and the palace will report it to King Yan! The messenger was overjoyed and bowed, "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "You go back and tell Lord Shen about them, and ask them to escort Zhao Heng and the others to see me as soon as possible." The messenger bowed and promised.

Yelu Hanyu said: "If there is nothing else, you can go." The messenger replied and bowed and withdrew from the camp.

The gaze turned to the palace of the Viet Li Dynasty.

The emperor of the Yue Li Dynasty and the ministers kept receiving good news from the front line, and they were all very excited, thinking that the day when the Yue Li Dynasty would enter the Central Plains had finally come! For many days, the ministers of the Yue Li Dynasty frequently entered the palace to ask the emperor to be honored, and the emperor's concubines were fantasizing about living in the legendary Central Plains Imperial Palace! Inside and outside the palace, there was a scene of excitement and joy everywhere! And the folk are also the same jubilant, the folk is a lively scene, the firecrackers imported from the Central Plains are uninterrupted all day long, many people spontaneously go to the tavern to drink and celebrate, some young women of just the right age to marry, openly claim to marry the warriors who conquered the Central Plains!

However, just when the entire Yue Li Dynasty was jubilant, a thunderbolt suddenly came. The news came suddenly, and the army was defeated under the city of Nanning!

When the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Li Dynasty heard the news, they were shocked and inexplicable, and that feeling was as if they were putting the treasure and delicacy to their mouths, but they were snatched away! Everyone felt incredulous, thinking that this kind of thing would never happen, and then everyone unanimously reached a consensus, that is, this news must be fake, it must be a rumor deliberately spread by the Han people! Everyone thinks so, so they are even more anxiously waiting for the good news from the front!

Soon after, the exact news came from the front, but all the kings and ministers of the Yue Li Dynasty were greatly disappointed and at the same time frightened. According to the exact information, the Vietnamese army was indeed defeated by the Yanyun army under the city of Nanning, and it was the 200,000 army that was defeated by the opponent's only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and suffered heavy losses; Soon after, the Vietnamese army retreated to Fusui, and the Yanyun army immediately killed, a vicious battle, the Vietnamese army was defeated again, fled in embarrassment, and no longer able to stabilize its position, and fled back to the country through the 100,000 mountains.

After the shock, the people of the Yue Li Dynasty became angry and shouted hysterically that they would execute all the generals who humiliated the country; And those girls who had previously said that they wanted to marry the warriors of the Vietnamese army changed their attitudes one hundred and eighty degrees, from admiration to contempt; The families of those officers and soldiers in the army felt that they could not hold their heads up, and many of them did not dare to go out all day.

The Yue Li Dynasty was a different story. In addition to great disappointment and anger, the monarchs and ministers were more frightened. Because in addition to the battle situation, the news also said another situation, Princess Yelu of King Yan led the army to pass Nanning! Now that their own side has suffered a new defeat, suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the army and the people has dropped to the bottom, and the Yanyun army has won a big victory, and there is a new force coming, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not take advantage of the situation to attack Dayue, so I am afraid that the matter will be serious!

A minister said in disbelief: "We have an army of war elephants, how come 200,000 soldiers and horses can't beat the opponent's 30,000 horses?!" ”

The other minister sighed with a look of trepidation: "It has long been rumored that Yan Yun is an invincible elite brigade in the world!" Originally, I didn't believe it, but I just thought it was a Han boast, but now I can't believe it! 30,000 defeated 200,000, this, this can only be done by the army of demons! All the ministers nodded in agreement, their hearts full of fear of Yan Yun.

A minister said in panic for a year: "The Yanyun army is so strong, 30,000 soldiers and horses will defeat our army!" Now that Princess Yanyun has led a large army to come, if there is a large-scale invasion, how can we resist it! The ministers were talking, and there was a buzz above the main hall, and everyone's eyes were full of despair, obviously thinking that it was impossible to resist Yan Yun's army. And not long ago, these people were still unashamed to talk nonsense, not only thinking that they had no problem with the Yue Li Dynasty occupying the Guangnan West Road, but also that it was a very simple matter to enter the Central Plains. Seeing that the ministers were all looking like a catastrophe was coming, the emperor couldn't help but get flustered, turned his head to look at a middle-aged Han man in a Confucian shirt standing at the head of the right, and asked nervously: "Prime Minister Tong, what should we do in this situation now?" Should we send someone to sue for peace? ”

The middle-aged Han man, named Tong Yuanliu, was a Han man who lived in the Li Dynasty in Yue. When everyone sees this, they will definitely scold him for being a traitor. Hehe, this statement is true, but in Confucianism, it seems that this is not the case, Confucianism only says loyalty to the monarch, but does not say which monarch should be loyal, so loyalty to the emperor of the Yue Li Dynasty is also in line with Confucian morality.

I saw that Tong Yuanliu smiled bitterly and said, "The minister said before that you can't rashly engage in battle with Yan Yunjun!" It's a pity that no one listens to Weichen! ”

The emperor remembered what he had said, and couldn't help but regret it a little, and sighed: "Hey! I didn't expect that the difference between Yan Yunjun and Song Jun would be so big! The same Han people, why do they look like sheep on one side and tigers on the other!? ”

Tong Yuanliu frowned and said: "Then Yang Peng abolished Confucianism and practiced the way of demons, and his actions were similar to those of Qiang Qin back then!" He clasped his fist at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty is familiar with poetry and books, so you must know very well the strength of the Qin State?" The emperor nodded and exclaimed, "The strength of the Qin army can only be described as a demon god!" The Han Dynasty was powerful, but it took decades to defeat the Xiongnu, and if you count from Han Gaozu, I am afraid it will be more than a few decades. However, it only took one year for Great Qin to completely defeat the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu fled far north of the desert, and did not dare to sneak south until the Chu and Han fought each other. ”

Tong Yuanliu nodded, frowned, and said: "Today's Yan Yun is the same as Qiang Qin back then, and the strength of Bingfeng is naturally difficult to resist!" ”

The emperor was taken aback, "According to what the prime minister said, isn't it completely impossible for us to win?" When the ministers heard Tong Yuanliu say this, they only felt that their pride was greatly hurt, and they couldn't help but show displeasure, but when they thought of the record of Yan Yun's army of 30,000 horses defeating their 200,000 army not long ago, they couldn't say anything to refute it. The 200,000 army was actually defeated head-on by the opponent's 30,000 soldiers and horses, what else can be said now?

Tong Yuanliu shook his head and said, "That's not it!" Qiang Qin is so strong, in the end, it is not perished! Everyone was stunned, thinking that this was really the case, although Qiang Qin was as strong as a demon god, but it was the shortest-lived, Qin Shi Huang wanted to be eternal, so he called himself the first emperor, but it only passed on the second, and the huge empire collapsed, leaving a laughing stock for the ages. However, why this happened, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Li Dynasty couldn't figure it out.

Tong Yuanliu said: "The so-called 'extremely rigid and easy to break', although a country like this is very powerful, it will inevitably die on this strength in the end. Such a country is bound to be warlike, and because it is belligerent, it will continue to consume limited national resources, and eventually the whole country will become exhausted, and the people will complain! When this accumulates to a certain extent, it will turn into the flames of an uprising, and this tyrannical country will be completely destroyed! Qiang Qin collapsed in such a fire! Everyone nodded their heads, thinking that what he said was really reasonable! A minister smiled and said, "If you say that, we don't have to be too afraid of Yan Yun!" Maybe it won't be long before the country collapses on its own! Everyone else laughed.

Tong Yuanliu smiled: "This is to the point. However, now that Yanyun is strong, we must pretend to submit to them, so that they will not use troops against us, and at the same time take us lightly. At the same time, we continued to use troops against Champa and other countries, annexed them, and unified the whole of Tiannan! If we can do this, we will have the capital to compete with Yan Yun, and then we will wait, and if we raise the army to go north again, we will have a great chance to defeat Yan Yun! Everyone smiled and nodded.

Tong Yuanliu clasped his fists at the emperor and said: "Therefore, it is imperative to immediately send someone to Yan Yun to ask for peace, we must send a generous gift, and the more humble we are, the better!" As soon as these words came out, some people were unhappy, and one person said angrily: "Wouldn't this greatly damage our Dayue's face!" Some chimed in.

Tong Yuanliu said with a smile: "This is called enduring humiliation. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Wu State, and the Yue King became a slave of the Wu King. However, the king of Yue Gou practiced lying on his salary and tasted his courage, on the one hand, he humbled in the face of the king of Wu, but on the other hand, he secretly gathered strength, twenty years later, the king of Yue finally avenged the revenge of destroying the country, but destroyed the country of Wu! The Yanyun we are facing now is more powerful, so we must have the spirit of King Yue, so that it is possible to realize our lofty ideal of becoming an empire! ”

When the emperor heard Tong Yuanliu's words, he thought so, nodded again and again, and said: "The right prime minister said it too well, I also have to lie down and taste the courage, and finally destroy Yan Yun!" All the ministers bowed together and said, "Your Majesty is wise! The emperor smiled slightly, suddenly frowned, and said, "I am only worried about one thing...... all the ministers showed puzzlement. The emperor looked at Tong Yuanliu and asked, "If Yanyun takes advantage of this opportunity to attack on a large scale, will our army be able to resist it?" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
