Along the way, Li Wei and Hu Hai talked and laughed, just like a close friend for many years, Hu Hai did not doubt him, just took this opportunity to ask Li Wei about the use of artillery, Li Wei did not hide his selfishness, anyway, he was also thinking blindly, it belonged to a bottle less than half a bottle dangling, and it didn't matter if he taught Hu Hai.

When the generals saw that Hu Hai was so close to him, they were even more suspicious in their hearts, and classified Hu Hai into the category of Li Wei's party.

The army advanced all the way to Banqiao Town, which was still far away from Yunnan City, and saw a group of former Yuan officials on the road to greet them, and Li Wei, Hu Hai, Zhang Yi and others were all surprised.

Mu Ying sent someone to come forward to contact, and after a while, his subordinates replied, only to know that this was Youcheng Guanyinbao, who was sitting in Yunnan, and Liu Cheche Buhua, who participated in politics, and others who came to surrender.

Guanyin Bao watched the mighty master of the Ming Dynasty from afar, and was glad that he had made a choice, King Liang ran away by himself, and threw him in the city to let him defend the city, he was not stupid, so he would not do this death-seeking thing, and when King Liang took people away, he led people out of the city to welcome him.

After Mu Ying got the confirmation, she ordered someone to bring them over.

When Guanyin Bao arrived, he immediately raised the official seal and shouted: "Guanyin Bao, the right under the command of the former Yuan Liang King, welcome the Ming Wangshi!" ”

Fu Youde was not there, Mu Ying accepted the salute on behalf of the army, and then asked, "What is the situation in Yunnan City now?" ”

"General, the former Yuan Liang King heard that the king was coming, frightened and fled, the people and soldiers in the city were ecstatic, thank the Ming Wang Shi for driving away this tyrannical and arrogant dog thief for us, I follow everyone's wishes to welcome ten miles, welcome the king to enter Yunnan ......"

Guanyin Bao Balabala scolded King Liang as a thief and showed loyalty to Mu Ying.

Hu Hai and other generals despised it, and at the same time they were a little disappointed in their hearts, this guy surrendered directly with the whole city, then they would have no military merits to gain.

Li Wei thought it was very good, just go directly to the city and surrender without fighting.

Mu Ying patiently listened to the ramblings of Guanyin Bao and the others, and asked again: "Where did King Liang flee?" ”

"I saw them fleeing in the direction of Jinning Prefecture, and it seemed that they were going into the mountains to hide." Guanyin Bao sold the old owner without hesitation.

Mu Ying nodded slightly, and then ordered He Fu to lead people into the city with Guanyin Bao to take over the city defense.

Guanyin Bao didn't play tricks, everything went well, and the Ming army easily took the central city of Yunnan.

After stabilizing the situation in the city, Mu Ying immediately set off to Jinning Prefecture to hunt down King Liang.

In the mountains of Jinning Prefecture, King Liang and a group of wives and concubines lived in a grass hut, and Zuo Chengjin donkey and some soldiers accompanied the guards.

The gorgeous clothes on the bodies of King Liang and others seem incompatible with this environment.

"Lord Wang, there is news from my subordinates that Guanyin Bao's dog has surrendered the city, and the Ming army is marching here, what should we do?"

The golden donkey asked aloud.

King Liang's face turned pale, hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly: "You say, if we surrender, will the Ming army accept it?" ”

The golden donkey was stunned when he heard this, he didn't have this idea, but they had killed several envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty before, although there were also reasons for being persecuted by the Northern Yuan, but after all, they did it, and the Ming court could really spare them?

"I'm afraid, hey!" The golden donkey shook his head, whether others believed it or not, he didn't believe it anyway.

When King Liang heard this, the last bit of hope in his heart was also extinguished, and he was suddenly discouraged, knowing that there was no way to escape, so he took his wife and children to hang himself that night.

On the second day, when the Ming army found them, the golden donkey and the guards sacrificed the body of King Liang.

Mu Ying looked at King Liang, who was dressed in a python robe and was already dead, and couldn't help but admire:

"In fact, as long as he surrenders, His Majesty will still treat him leniently, I didn't expect him to be so strong, he would rather die than surrender!"

Li Wei and Hu Hai and other generals also nodded lightly, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed very tolerant of generals and prisoners, and even still let them serve in the army, which was also a gentle strategy, under this strategy, many nobles in the Northern Yuan Dynasty who could not stand the hardships of the grassland took the initiative to take refuge.

As soon as the words of the two of them fell, King Liang's corpse suddenly twitched, and everyone was shocked! The golden donkey, in particular, was so frightened that he exclaimed in a trembling voice that hid far away:

"Corpse! The prince is cheating the corpse! ”

His exclamation immediately caused a commotion, and Li Wei was also startled, and hurriedly hid behind Hu Hai.

Mu Ying shouted to stop the commotion, frowned slightly, and ordered someone to come forward to check.

After some investigation, his subordinates replied: "Master Hou, you are already dead, it may have been because of the muscle spasms caused by the cold just now, which is a normal phenomenon. ”

Everyone was crawling out of the pile of dead people, and naturally they were not afraid of the accidental twitching of the corpse, and the riot quickly subsided.

Li Wei also walked out of Hu Hai's body, looked at King Liang's corpse again, thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and said to Mu Ying:

"I see, he wanted to ask you why you didn't say it earlier!"

Mu Ying: "? ”

……

Chishui River, Guo Ying Chen Huan led an army of 50,000 to gather here, but was blocked by King Liang's subordinate Shi Bu in the Chishui River, they did not have Li Wei's powerful artillery, nor did they have as many troops as the main force, so they could only fall into a state of confrontation with Shi Bu.

However, their task was originally to contain, so they could be regarded as completing the task.

When Qujing was lost and the news of the Ming army's northern aid came, Shibu directly led people away, and Guo Ying and others finally joined Fu Youde.

Two days later, Fu Youde returned to Yunnan with Guo Ying and others, and joined Mu Ying's army, plus Guo Ying's 50,000 people, the strength of the Ming army reached 250,000, excluding the casualties of these battles, there were more than 200,000 people.

The army set out in September and basically took Yunnan in only three months, which is really invincible and unstoppable.

Fu Youde immediately ordered someone to deliver the good news to Beijing, and Li Wei took the opportunity to write a letter and asked him to bring it to Zhu Yuanzhang together.

Now that the New Year is approaching, he wants to go home for the New Year, in this letter, he sincerely expressed his longing for An (xiao) Qing (qing), and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to let him return to Beijing early.

Due to the delay of the Internet, he waited for seven or eight days before he received a reply from Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was just four words: stay honest!

In addition to letting Li Wei stay honest, Zhu Yuanzhang also issued instructions to the army, although the army now occupies a dangerous place, but the surrounding Tusi is still not attached, and rebellions often occur, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Fu Youde to build a city while conquering and suppressing, and set up the Yunnan capital and the political envoy.

After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, the Ming army only rested for a few days before starting to fight everywhere.

Hu Hai, Zhang Yi and others each led tens of thousands of troops, divided into various cities in Yunnan, Mu Ying also personally took Li Wei to conquer the city, although Li Wei was not interested, but his Song Zhong and others were very active, without his supervision, they took the initiative to win countless military merits for him.
