Chapter 46: The Beginning of the War

Xuan Qi knew that since Patriarch Yan had put down his words, if he didn't agree, I was afraid that he would have to return empty-handed on this trip. Without the support www.biquge.info of the Yan clan and his family, the army wanted to march in South Vietnam, which was high in the mountains and dense forests, and the land was full of miasma and poison, and I was afraid that even if it paid a great price, it would not be able to go.

Yuqing looked at Xuan Qi fixedly, although he was unmarried and willing to commit himself to this man with a wife and children, but he was rejected many times, but he actually liked this man even more. Thinking about it, he still blushed a little, although the clan has never objected to young men and women falling in love freely, Yuqing never thought that he would be so infatuated with a man, so he dared to say it in public. Xuanqi's martial arts are not bad, he doesn't look very handsome, he just doesn't hate it, but he just likes him, and there is no reason to talk about it.

"Princess Yuqing!"

"Don't call me princess, call me Yuqing!"

"Well, there are much better men than below, the world abounds, why do you bother?"

"Except for you, the rest of the men are in front of Yuqing, but dung!"

"This ・・・・・・ has a wife and children in the next family, I'm afraid I will wronged Princess Yuqing!"

"It's all said, call me Yuqing!"

"Okay!

Seeing that Xuan Qi was finally willing to call his name, Yuqing suddenly smiled, and said with a smile: "As long as I can be with you, Yuqing is not afraid of grievances." Besides, Yuqing believes that one day, you will really like Yuqing. ”

Looking at Yuqing's fiery eyes, Xuan Qi couldn't help but shudder.

Before nightfall, Luo Wen finally returned to the village, and took Ji Ying's hand and deliberately walked around in front of Xuan Qi. Xuan Qi was helpless, so he simply closed his eyes and couldn't see it.

"Did you promise Sister Yuqing?"

Xuan Qi nodded.

"Then why didn't you promise me?"

Xuan Qi shook his head.

"We don't have to fight this battle, cousin, shall we go back!"

Xuan Qi shook his head.

"You idiot, why should you sacrifice yourself?"

Xuan Qi didn't move.

"Okay! If you have someone to love, I won't have anyone to love? Ji Ying, say, do you like me?"

"This ・・・・・・"

"What, what, you're still not a man?"

"I like it!"

"Be louder, I can't hear you!"

"I like you!"

"Why are you so loud, the whole village hears it. ”

"I ・・・・・・"

"What am I, go, fall in love with my senior sister, and be angry with this stinky man!"

"Wenwen, you slow down, you can't see the road clearly when it's dark・・・・・・"

Early in the morning of the third day, Patriarch Yan knocked on Xuan Qi's door and handed Xuan Qi a note, and a beautiful handwriting fell into his eyes, but there was only one sentence: Everything is decided by Patriarch Yan. Signed: Li Zhilan of Zhenbei Wangfu.

Xuan Qi knew that even if this matter reached his grandmother and his father and mother, it would be the same ending, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly at the moment.

"I'm going to be the groom, give me a smile!" Patriarch Yan seemed to have finally sold his daughter, and he smiled so hard that there was only a slit left in his eyes.

Then the two went to see Yuqing together, but they were both stunned by Yuqing's words.

"From this day forward, you are my man. However, it remains to be tested whether I can become my real man. From now on, to the pacification of South Vietnam, it will be your testing period. Yuqing looked at the two men in front of him in a daze, and continued: "You can go down the mountain, remember that Yuqing is waiting for you here!"

Seven days later, Xuanqi returned to Kunming, and reinforcements from all over the country began to arrive one after another.

With the issuance of military orders one after another, the Battle of Pingnan finally officially began. As soon as she returned to Kunming, Luo Wen became serious. Xuan Qi deliberately handed over the important task of news liaison in various places to Luo Wen and Luo Lin's sisters and brothers, first, the two of them are familiar faces in Yunnan, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble; second, the kung fu of the two, with the guidance of Xuan Qi, a famous teacher, is now considered good, even if they are surrounded by a small number of troops in South Vietnam, the chance of getting out is relatively greater.

The 800,000-strong army was divided into three routes: the 300,000-strong army on the middle route, under the personal command of Xuan Qi, attacked from Kunming and Yishan, the 200,000-strong army on the western route, commanded by Qian Chaoxian, who came to the aid, and attacked from the Erhai and Yongchang areas, and the eastern route was commanded by Luo Lie and attacked from the Nanpanjiang area.

However, the three-way army did not fight for success, and according to the established plan, it was always consistent and pressed south. Once twisted into a rope, the army of the Celestial Empire is naturally not the opponent of the South Vietnamese army, and the South Vietnamese army can only rely on the dense forests of Yunnan and constantly resist. As the local ethnic groups joined the war, the South Vietnamese lost even their geographical advantage.

On 19 February, the Western Route Army defeated the South Vietnamese Army, and the South Vietnamese Army retreated more than 50 miles into the mountains. That night, with the cooperation of the Bai Ni clan, Qian Chaoxian personally led 20,000 strange soldiers to appear behind the South Vietnamese army. In this battle, two generals of the South Vietnamese Army were killed in battle, with more than 30,000 dead and wounded, and had to retreat in a panic and retreat straight to the south of the Lancang River.

On the morning of 21 February, Luo Lie commanded a large army, forcibly crossed the Nampan River, and fought hard with the South Vietnamese army in the mountains and forests. Four hours later, the South Vietnamese army retreated and headed south along the hills. Luo Lie's army pursued all the way until dark. The South Vietnamese army had no choice but to retreat to the city of Van Son to rest and recuperate. In this battle, the South Vietnamese army suffered more than 45,000 casualties, but Luo Lie's army also suffered more than 14,000 casualties, which can be described as tragic.

On 22 February, Xuan Qiqin led a large army along both sides of Dianchi Lake all the way south, driving the South Vietnamese army out of the area of Fuxian Lake in one fell swoop. The South Vietnamese army retreated all the way south, retreating straight across the Red River Valley, relying on the natural dangers of the valley to stabilize its position.

In the following days, the South Vietnamese army relied on natural hazards, and the two sides were in a situation of confrontation for a while. At this time, Luo Wen sent news that the lord of Nanyue had sent 200,000 troops to help Yunnan in the starry night. Xuan Qi was not in a hurry, and strictly ordered the three armies to suspend the attack.

Xuanqi handed over the command of the army to Liu Tongcheng, the deputy general of Yunnan, and he took 50,000 foot soldiers to the edge of the Red River overnight, and after converging with the 30,000 Yi soldiers brought by Ji Ying, they went west along the Red River valley together.

On the evening of the second day, Xuan Qi led an army of 80,000 to a narrow place in the river valley, and immediately ordered all the soldiers of the army to rest in place for a night. A group of soldiers rushed around for a day and a night, but they never closed their eyes, and soon fell asleep.
