But for some reason, the Ming army blocked the mountain pass for dozens of days, did not fight, retreated and did not retreat, and seemed to be waiting for reinforcements, which made Longqing soldiers finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But then Feng Li realized that something was wrong, this soldier had more food and less food, and he was trapped in the mountains and had nowhere to find food, so all the soldiers and generals had already eaten the bark and grass roots.

Due to the large number of people, only four or five days later, the bark and grass roots on the mountain are gone, and in desperation, I can only endure the pain and order to slaughter the horses to satisfy the hunger, so that it has been mixed for three days, but there are no more horses to kill, but the reinforcements of Tianbo Mansion still have not arrived, but the brothers who are on guard in front come to report, saying that the Ming army has suddenly increased its troops by 34,500.

"Keep watching. ”

Feng Li sent away the sentry brothers, asked the generals to gather, pointed to the brothers who were paralyzed on the ground around and said, "At this time, the reinforcements have not yet arrived, and the messenger must have killed them halfway." In a few days, we'll all starve to death here. I want to take advantage of the slack of the Ming army and break through tonight, and if I can go out one by one, I can't sit still. ”

As he was talking, the brother who was guarding in front came to report again, saying that two armies under the banner of Longqing had come out of nowhere, and they were fighting with the officers and soldiers outside the mountain, as if they were about to rush into the mountain.

"Is it ......?"

Feng Li just wanted to say that it might be the reinforcements from Tianbo Mansion who had arrived, but when he heard the sudden sound of killing outside the mountain, his face was suddenly happy, and he laughed: "The sky is endless, and I am Longqing." Brothers, reinforcements from the old battalion must have arrived. ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw twenty or thirty horsemen running into the mountain, but it was Hu Yanli and his own soldiers, and they shouted loudly: "General Feng, each person will fill the hunger first, even if it is to moisten the mouth, the army will arrive later." ”

After that, he jumped off his horse with his own soldiers, took one hundred and forty or fifty bags of pimped gruel from the horses, and gave them to the trapped brothers one by one to drink a few sips to satisfy their hunger first, and said that they would let everyone drink wine and nibble on chickens and ducks in the evening, so as to touch the joy of the chief manager.

After drinking gruel here, and the battle outside the mountain had also been completed, Feng Li saw Hu Yanli, Zhang Zhong brought 2,000 soldiers and horses and more than 100 carts to eat and drink, only to know that it was the chief manager's happy wine.

He was rejoicing in his heart, and two armies had entered the mountain, but he also recognized that one was Azaguri and the iron-headed monk with an army of 2,000 horses, 4,300 infantry, and a hundred archers, and the other was an army of 1,000 horses, 500 archers and shieldmen, and 5,000 insignments.

The two support armies captured more than 8,000 Ming troops, occupied the camp of the Ming Dynasty outside the mountain, and there were 170,000 stone grains and hundreds of cattle and sheep.

Feng Li was overjoyed, so he led the army out of the mountain and into the camp, killed cattle and sheep, buried pots and cooked rice, let the soldiers and horses rest in the tent, and then sent a few brothers to spy on the movements of the Ming Dynasty.

These four Longqing soldiers and horses plus the Ming army, there are also 27,800 people in one place, Feng Li ate and drank with the generals in the main general's tent, and said happily: "This is really the sky has eyes, help me Longqing not die." Earlier, I was trapped in Minsi, and after a few battles, there were less than 200 people, including the wounded, and I thought this was the end. I don't want Zhang Yun and the two generals to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to rescue, then he will naturally come back to life. But when I got to the mountains, the grain was eaten, the bark was gone, the grass roots were dug up, and all the horses that could be killed were killed, and I saw that I was in a desperate situation, and suddenly you three soldiers and horses came, which made me blink an eye with fifteen more generals, twenty-seven or eight thousand brothers. In the evening, the whole army ate and drank, one was to drink the great manager's happy wine, and the other was to break the Ming army. ”

When the people heard this, they took a break and recuperated and found a way out.

I didn't want to think that in the afternoon seven days later, Shen Zhongzhu and the others came with more than 1,800 people and more than 3,000 troops to find them one after another.

This made Feng Li overjoyed, and he added dozens of generals and more than 5,000 soldiers and horses.

When he was happy, the brother who went to Guanghaiwei to pick up the ship came back, saying that there were no ships on the shore, and asked the local people for several years, and they all said that the officers and men who guarded the ship first recruited two or three hundred local young men to escort the ship together, and then after a battle with the officers and men of Guanghai, they disappeared.

Feng Li shouted when he heard this: "It's bitter." ”

He spit out a mouthful of thick blood and cried loudly, so shocked that the generals hurried to persuade him.

I only heard him say: "It's not a pity that Feng died, but today without those ten clippers, thirty cannons, two thousand taels of gold, and five hundred thousand taels of silver, that is a crime that deserves death. ”

After speaking, he wept bitterly, and the generals persuaded him until he held the lamp, and then he stopped crying, and ate and drank in the main tent.

Within three days, the brothers who had been spying on the military situation reported one after another, saying that more than 72,000 soldiers and horses from Zhen'an, Nanning, Lianzhou, Gaozhou, Xunzhou, Pingle, Liuzhou, Qingyuan, and Guangnan were gathering here and threatening to exterminate foreign officers and soldiers in a war.

Feng Li was shocked to hear that the enemy was approaching, and hurriedly raised his tent to discuss with the generals about a good plan to break the enemy, and a brother came to report, saying that Huyan Feixue and Tuba had brought four partial generals, and 6,600 soldiers and horses arrived.

"It's really heavenly. ”

Feng Li shouted happily, and just welcomed Huyan Feixue and Tuba into the tent, and then heard that Han Dezhong and Ye Xiaodong had arrived in the camp with a thousand horse troops.

"It couldn't have come at a better time. ”

Hearing that the troops were coming, Feng Li hurriedly led the generals to greet him, and just after a few words of affection, there was a report from Tanma, saying that more than 1,000 officers and soldiers came from the direction of Mingsi, and there were still four or five miles away from the camp.

Feng Li listened to Han Dezhong and Ye Xiaodong with a thousand horse troops out of the camp to meet the battle.

Who would have thought that this was a rout army that had retreated from Mingsi, and it was constantly attacked by the people along the road, and it was already panicked, so hungry and thirsty, and how could it be fighting to fight.

At this time, seeing Han Dezhong's horse army rushing over, "Hula"

Surrender all at once.

The surrendered army was brought back to the camp and asked, only to know that it was just dawn today, and Mingsi City was suddenly attacked by heavy artillery fire, the camp and the government were all blown down, and a large part of the city wall was also blown down.

Feng Li listened, thinking that most of the soldiers and horses attacking Mingsi City were Bai Zizong's sailors, so he ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and set up the village, bypass the soldiers and horses of Jiufu, and go to meet Bai Zizong's sailors, and then turn back to prepare for the battle against the Jiufu army.

But Feng Li was wrong this time, it was not Bai Zizong's sailor who captured Mingsi City, but a small leader of his infantry army, Ning Mill, who already had 1,7800 soldiers and horses at this moment.

"There's yours. Ning Milling, this army will be handed over to you. ”

Feng Li praised his subordinates, and at that moment, Ti Ning Mill was promoted from a small leader to a partial general, and half of Mingsi's 3,000 troops were assigned to Sun Litang and Fang Shichuan's troops, and then all the artillery was distributed around the city, and the people in the city were asked to help repair the city wall.

Then Shen Zhongzhu led 2,000 troops to guard the west gate, Fang Shichuan led 2,000 troops to guard the east gate, Ning Mill led 2,000 troops to guard the north gate of the town, and Sun Litang led 2,000 troops to guard the south gate.

After the dispatch, he himself and Huyan Feixue, Tuba, Zhang Lin, Yun Biao, Lei Tianbao and other 20 generals, with 8,000 horse troops, 35,000 infantry troops set up two camps 25 miles from the east of the city, and sent several groups of sentry cavalry to spy on the enemy, and prepared to resist the Jiufu army at ease.

What is strange is that Feng Li waited for more than 20 days in a row, and the soldiers and horses of Jiufu did not wait, but waited for another Longqing army, that is, Geng Biao, Murong Fei, Wang Jie, Yin Guanghai, Gu Huo, Zheng Ba, Lu Feng, Wei Yang, Qu Jing, the chief general of the three armies in Pukou, Yan Zheng, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to capture Zhen'an, Nanning, and Lianzhou, received more than 7,400 defenders, and recruited nearly 3,000 recruits.

By this time, Longqing had 65,600 soldiers and horses, 70 or 80 generals, and the four cities of Mingsi, Zhen'an, Nanning, and Lianzhou, and also had the strength to attack Gaozhou, Xunzhou, Pingle, Liuzhou, Qingyuan, Guangnan and other cities.

Since Longqing soldiers had a city to defend, Feng Li naturally would not give up in vain, thinking that this was a great opportunity for the young master to accumulate capital, so he invited the generals to the lobby to discuss the establishment of a business.

"Generals, although the young master is the little prince, but the prince is Yijun, Concubine Li Guifei is afraid that the young master will compete with the prince in the future, and she wants to kill my young master in her dreams. Before leaving, the chief steward repeatedly told us to plunder the banner of Longqing and plunder the city, train the soldiers and horses, appease the people, and accumulate capital for the young lord to compete with the prince in the future. Today we have the four cities of Mingsi, Zhen'an, Nanning, and Lianzhou, 65,600 soldiers and horses, 10 clippers, 30 artillery pieces, more than 40,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and what to do in the future, I want to listen to the thoughts of the audience. ”

Nanning General Zalixi said: "Commander, Mingsi, Zhen'an, Nanning, and Lianzhou are not very populous, and they have always had little food, and it is difficult to raise a large army. If you want to stay for a long time, you have to capture Quang Nam first. Because there is a large granary in Quang Nam, it can be eaten by our army for three years. The boss, the defender of Quang Nam, Seinfeld, is the brother of the last general. If the boss can trust the last general, the last general will not bring a single soldier, and is willing to go to Guangnan to persuade him to surrender and let Seinfeld come to the coach. ”

Feng Li laughed when he heard this, and immediately nodded in agreement, and Zalixi thanked him and left.

Shen Zhongzhu said: "Boss, the little nephew thinks that the top priority is not to attack the city, but to appease the people of the four cities to win the hearts of the people first, open up wasteland and cultivated land, accumulate grain and grass, recruit generals, and train male divisions, I don't know what the boss wants?"

Feng Li laughed again when he heard this, and immediately nodded and accepted, and also named Shen Zhongzhu as a general, Lei Tianbao, Lei Tianba, Geng Sibei, Murong Youcheng, Gu Xiulan, Wei Qingshuang, Jiao Jiyun, Jiao Jizhong, Jiao Jiwen and other forty-eight juniors as partial generals, and pulled out 5,000 soldiers and horses to be led by him.

"Zhongzhu, you are an assertive child, then do it boldly, and lead your troops wherever you go to attack the city and conquer the land, and establish merit. ”

Shen Zhongzhu had already had this idea, and after listening to Feng Li's words at this time, he immediately thanked him, took the Thunder Sky Leopard and their forty-eight generals out of the hall, and ordered a thousand horse troops, five hundred archers, three thousand infantry troops, seventy carts of grain and grass and three artillery pieces out of Mingsi City.

And Feng Li made the local officers and soldiers unpredictable, and adopted a strict strategy, and soon played the "Generalissimo of Longqing Soldiers and Horses"

After discussing with the generals in the tent for a while, let Huyan Feixue and Tuba bring 4,000 soldiers and horses to guard Zhen'an, Han Dezhong and Ye Xiaodong with 4,000 soldiers and horses to guard Nanning, Sun Litang and Fang Shichuan with 4,000 soldiers and horses to guard Lianzhou, and he himself and Yan Zheng personally led Geng Biao, Murong Fei, Hu Yanli, Wang Jie, Yin Guanghai, Gu Huo, Zheng Ba, Lu Feng, Wei Yang, Qu Jing, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Lin, Yang Biao, and Ning Milling with 22,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Mingsi Mansion, ready to meet more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in the nine mansions.

Later, he took the opportunity to seize Zhen'an, Nanning, Lianzhou, Gaozhou, Xunzhou, Pingle, Liuzhou, Qingyuan, and Guangnan, recruited soldiers and horses, and trained male divisions, laying the foundation for the young lord to compete with the prince in the future.

However, he said that Zalixi had also arrived in Guangnan at this time, and when he saw Song Fei, he said: "General Song, I have surrendered to Feng Li, the commander of foreign officers and soldiers. This person is the department of the little prince Zhu Tianxiao, and there are more than 70 generals, 36,000 soldiers and horses, 10 clippers, and 30 artillery pieces. In the near future, we will attack Gaozhou, Xunzhou, Pingle, Liuzhou, Qingyuan, Guangnan and other cities, can you stop it?"

Seinfeld pondered for a while, shook his head and smiled, "Block, it must be unstoppable." But what is the way to reduce it? Please let my brother explain a thing or two. ”

Zalixi didn't know how to speak, so he told everything he knew, and then said with a smile: "The little prince Zhu Tianxiao is deeply favored by the emperor, and Feng Li is not in the rich Jiangnan to capture the city, but to attack the city and plunder the land here, just for the emperor to accumulate capital for the little prince to compete with the prince after a hundred years." General Song, you and I are not people who covet glory and wealth, and everyone is Bao, why not take the opportunity to invest in building a career under Feng Li, you see?"

Seinfeld felt that Zalixi's words were reasonable, and immediately summoned Li Hao, Shi Kefan, and Jiang Ping, three lieutenants, and said: "I have sincerely surrendered to Feng Li, the commander of foreign officers and soldiers, and dedicated the Guangnan granary to him." If the three of them refuse to surrender, then the general will never embarrass you, etc., the three might as well speak out. ”

Shi Kefan said: "General Song treats me well, and I am willing to surrender with the general." Ma Long, the general of Liuzhou, is very familiar with me, and I can't get used to Zuo Shiqing's approach, I want to go to Liuzhou, but I need Feng Li's cooperation. ”

After talking about his plan, the four of them said that it was very good, and he went to Liuzhou.

After staying overnight, Zalixi took Seinfeld, Li Hao, and Jiang Ping to Mingsi City.

When Feng Li heard that Guangnan had been obtained, he was naturally overjoyed, and set up a banquet in the mansion for the generals to sit with.

Feng Li picked up the wine bowl and saluted Song Fei, and said, "General Song, your soldiers are still your soldiers, and your headquarters is still guarding Guangnan, and this commander can trust you." ”

Song Fei was very grateful, so he said: "Boss, Guangnan is an important granary in the southwest, if Zuo Shiqing learns that I have surrendered foreign officers and soldiers, I will send a large army to attack, then Guangnan is in danger." ”

After hearing this, Feng Li asked Zalixi to lead 4,000 troops to defend Guangnan City with Song Fei, and he took Zheng Ba, Lu Feng, Wei Yang, and Qu Jing to lead 10,000 troops to Liuzhou to deal with Shi Kefan.

Not wanting the army to reach Liuzhou at the end, Shi Kefan had already taken Ma Long and other seven generals out of the city for fifty miles to meet Feng Li's army and entered Liuzhou City.

In this way, in just half a month, Feng Li won the two cities of Guangnan and Liuzhou without blood, ten generals, and 7,600 soldiers and horses.

Seeing that the time had come, Feng Li's Longqing army began to govern the six cities of Guangnan, Liuzhou, Mingsi, Zhen'an, Nanning, and Lianzhou, pacifying the local people, pioneering and accumulating grain and grass, and recruiting and training new people.
