Chapter 485: A catastrophe is coming
Looking at Pingxiang from the south and north of Guangxi Town, the original tall and majestic city has been in ruins.
The fire burned for three days and three nights before it could be extinguished, and more than 30,000 people in Pingxiang County were slaughtered after the Annan army entered the city.
The Li clan originally did not plan to kill them all in this way, but the resistance of Pingxiang County was too tenacious, and the defenders of more than 1,000 people, relying on bows and crossbows and long knives, let more than 30,000 Annan troops spend half a month here, which can be regarded as heavy casualties.
In order to alleviate the pressure from the army, Ruan Tan Wei ordered that the knife would not be sealed for three days and that the army would slaughter the city.
Ruan Tan Wei, as the inspector of the Annam Li Dynasty, was enshrined as the Duke of Vietnam, ranked as the third duke, and this time he led troops to China in the name of the general, in the name of the suzerain, in the name of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the actual purpose is nominal and everyone knows, that is, to alleviate the famine that has lasted for three years in Annan, and to go north to Guangxi to plunder.
Otherwise, it has been five years since Qianming was gone, and Annanguo is only coming to take revenge now, is the nervous reaction a little slow?
Before coming, the lord of the Li Dynasty told Ruan Tan Weiqian to loot a batch and leave, and not to stay too long, because he was reacted by Huaxia, but he couldn't eat and walk!
matter
Ruan Tanwei sneered, and when he burned down Pingxiang County, it was already impossible to end.
Retracting his gaze, he no longer looked at the city that had been burned to ashes, but turned and walked towards the big tent.
"General, Huaxia must have received the news, is it time for us to return to the court," Chen Yuanshu, the chief of staff, followed Ruan Tanwei's side, and with one mouth, the class master returned to the court.
Ruan Tanwei stood up and turned his head to look at the former Qianming official: "Are you so afraid of that Wang Qi?" ”
"After all, its reputation is outstanding, so I have to take precautions," Chen Yuanshu said in a low voice: "My subordinates suggest that we immediately lead the army south and return to China, and then write a letter to the Huaxia Council, saying that the slaughter of Pingxiang was not intentional on our part, and we ask for forgiveness from the kingdom, and we will personally bind the guilty ministers to the north."
Ruan Tanwei ignored Chen Yuanshu's words, but walked straight back to the big tent, where the five soldiers were waiting at this moment.
"The last general meets the general!"
"Excuse me,"
All the etiquette of Annam is copied from the Han culture, so there is nothing surprising about it.
Ruan Tanwei sat on the chair and drank a cup of tea before turning his head to look at Chen Yuanshu: "Coming to this point, there is no way back, from the moment the city was slaughtered three days ago, it will not die!" ”
Don't slaughter the city, have no food, die yourself.
If the city is slaughtered, the whole army will survive, and there will be a chance!
All the gains and losses, but he was not forced to a dead end, Ruan Tanwei knew what situation he was in now, so he looked at Chen Yuanshu's gaze with a hint of coldness: "So now, don't mention the question of whether to descend or not, think about how to fight!" ”
When several generals in the tent heard this, they all turned their heads to each other and whispered, obviously they were a little afraid of a protracted battle with the Ming army.
After all, it was you Ruan Tanwei who ordered the slaughter of the city, not us, Huaxia wants to ask about the crime, mainly to ask you, what do you have to do with us?
"How?" Ruan Tanwei's gaze swept over everyone: "Do you think that Wang Qi will let you go?" A city of 30,000 people was slaughtered, and General Ben went out alone to convict, do you think he will accept it? ”
"Now, only by uniting as one and beating back the first army sent by Huaxia can we deter the enemy, so that we can have the right to speak and live! And now Huaxia is not stable internally, the former Ming forces and other anti-Wang Qi forces are eyeing each other, if we can connect with them and work together inside and outside, I don't believe it, he Wang Qi is really like a god, can he wipe us all out? ”
"The last general will obey!"
"Lord Chen," Ruan Tanwei looked at Chen Yuanshu: "Didn't some former Ming relics contact you last year, wanting our country to send troops and fight on behalf of the sky, can you still get in touch?" ”
"If you go back to the adult, the little one will send someone to find it."
At this moment, the guards ran in from outside the tent, holding a roll of newspaper in their hands: "My lord, the latest news from Huaxia has sent troops!" ”
"So fast, how many people?" Ruan Tanwei was shocked when he heard this, and immediately got up, while Chen Yuanshu on the side stepped forward to take the newspaper in surprise and looked down.
The news of Huaxia's dispatch of troops was still found in the newspapers it issued, which was really a bit of a joke.
After a while, Chen Yuanshu had already finished reading the newspaper, and the horror in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.
"What?" Ruan Tanwei's voice also became extremely low.
"The newspaper said," Chen Yuanshu's voice trembled slightly: "The newspaper said that Huaxia will send the senior councilor Lu Yu to personally lead the troops, a total of 10,000, to Guangxi in the south, and the destination is Shenglong Mansion, the target"
"What?" Ruan Tanwei had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Extinguish, destroy the country," Chen Yuanshu's voice was dry and hoarse.
Thump!
Someone in the tent directly weakened his legs when he heard this, and he fell to his knees on the ground, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak.
For a while, the tent was full of fear.
"Silence!" Ruan Tanwei shouted angrily: "Are you waiting for me to be inferior to that Li Changjie?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare!" The tent was full of silence.
And Chen Yuanshu, who knelt directly on the ground, was bitter in his heart - you are not Li Changjie, are you still Wanyan's?
Li Changjie was the eunuch of the Zhao and Song dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty, the eunuch of the Li Dynasty in Annan, and the most famous event was to lead the army to attack the Song Dynasty, led by Li Changjie to attack the border of the Song Dynasty, and successively captured Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Nanning of the Song Dynasty.
Li Changjie's most eye-catching action in the entire war was to carry out a massacre. After the capture of Yongzhou (now Nanning), because Zhizhou Su Mian was unwilling to surrender and committed suicide, the military and civilians in the city "no one surrendered", so Li Changjie "slaughtered more than 58,000 people, and more than 100,000 people died in Qin and Lianzhou, Chang Jie and others captured the people of Sanzhou and returned."
Later, the Song Dynasty sent 80,000 men south to attack Annam, and the two sides fought hard for several months, and finally they were exhausted and shook hands.
Therefore, on the side of the Li Dynasty, it was not the defeated side.
Therefore, Ruan Tanwei had the words to compare himself to Li Changjie.
"Even if he Wang Qi is in person, I'm not afraid!" Ruan Tan Wei said confidently: "The land of Annan is hot and hot, and the northerners are uncomfortable, he came with 10,000 people, I let him destroy them all here, and 100,000 people came, and I am not afraid of him in the elephant herd and field battles!" also let him know that I Ruan Tanwei is amazing! ”
"Order, immediately return to the court!" Ruan Tanwei's eyes looked to the north: "I also have to start preparing for the big battle!" Lu Yu is just a little-known boy, and this battle will definitely be the time for me to become famous! ”
Looking at Ruan Tanwei's already confident look, only Chen Yuanshu's heart sank to the valley: Then Lu Yu can be a henchman under Wang Qi, is it mediocre?
