Ruan Phuc Bao woke up and found himself in a dark and small box. He was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly, which made Ruan Phuc Luo Min who was sitting in the carriage jump. The Mongolian sweat medicine he packed for Ruan Fu is a specialty of Zhenla. It is said that it can make people unconscious for at least three days. How could it be ineffective!
Nguyen Phuc Luo Min thought to himself, since he woke up, let him go. Anyway, he has left Lang Son City now, and Ruan Phuc Bao has to endure it even if he doesn't want to.
"Uncle, how could you do this to your nephew?" After being released by Ruan Phuc Lomin for a while, Ruan Phuc Bao confirmed that he had been kidnapped by his uncle.
"Bao'er, your uncle and I have no choice but to let you continue to make trouble like this. The country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. For the sake of the clan, we can only make you suffer a little loss." Ruan Phuc Luo Min said as he always said, holding high the banner of the supremacy of the clan. Force Nguyen Phuc Bao to submit.
Ruan Phu Bao saw that his uncle was determined to do harm to him, so he had to find a way to save himself, "Uncle, 30,000 troops from Taiyuan Prefecture invaded Xuanguang Prefecture five days ago. In addition, my nephew also hired 10,000 Pingxiang Prefecture Guards. Attack Ruan Phu Shou from Beijiu Mansion, if you ask your nephew to bow to Ruan Phu Shou, I'm afraid there is no chance!"
"What!" Ruan Phuc Luo Min jumped up in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?!"
Ruan Fubao smiled calmly, "Everything is true."
"What should we do?" Ruan Phuc Luo Min also panicked. He knew better than Ruan Phuc Shou how much wealth Tuyen Quang Mansion had. If 40,000 troops attacked Tuyuan Quang Mansion, Ruan Phuoc Shou would be unlucky.
"Uncle, you should let your nephew go. When the dust of Tuyen Quang Mansion settles, leave the alliance with Guangnan Mansion to your nephew." Ruan Fubao is qualified to say such a thing. He is the eldest son of the eldest son. If it had not been for another uncle Ruan Phuoc Thuy's position as clan leader, no one would have been able to compete with him for this position in terms of qualifications. Now that he has defeated Ruan Phu Shou, it is natural for him to regain the position of clan leader.
Ruan Phuc Luo Min kept a calm face and said nothing. He was thinking about a question, who is more suitable to be the head of the Ruan Phuc family, Ruan Phuc Shou or Ruan Phuc Bao. Nguyen Phuc Shou has been running Tuyen Quang Palace for nearly twenty years, and is the strongest among the three palaces controlled by the Nguyen Phuc family. In the past two years, he was defeated by Lang Son Palace and his strength was greatly reduced. The Fan family of Taiyuan saw an opportunity, so they joined forces to break it. The Xuan Guang incident occurred.
On the surface, it seems that Nguyen Phuc Bao has regained his disadvantage and counterattacked Tuyen Quang with the help of his allies. Nguyen Phuc Thuy is about to be defeated. But what Nguyen Phuc Loc Min thinks about is not who is better at fighting, but who can lead the Nguyen Phuc family to maintain the glory of the clan. Ruan Phuc Shou sat on the throne of the clan leader as a usurper, which not only made the two palace heads who were most qualified to compete for the clan leader recognize his identity, but also led the two palaces to develop together. Compared with the previous clan leader, Ruan Phuc Shou was more courageous and capable.
Nguyen Phuc Bao has little talent in governing the territory. He has been in charge of Lang Son Province for more than ten years, but has not been able to unify the forces of all ethnic groups in Lang Son Province. He has even been ignored by various ethnic groups for a long time. This is evidenced by the fact that government orders are not issued from Lang Son City. In recent years, Lang Son Prefecture has suddenly risen. Nguyen Phuc Luo Min sent people to investigate. The main contributor was Pingxiang Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty in supporting Lang Son Prefecture, which had little to do with Nguyen Phuc Bao.
The Nguyen Phuc clan cannot allow someone else¡¯s puppet to be the head of the family. Ruan Phuc Luo Min believes that the elders of the clan will agree with his point of view. Ruan Phuc Bao, who relied too much on external forces, was crossed out from the list by Ruan Phuc Luo Min a long time ago.
Nguyen Phuc Luo Min is in pain. Psychologically, he is closer to his nephew Ruan Phuc Bao, but from the perspective of the clan, he cannot let Ruan Phuc Bao succeed. For a large clan to undergo a power transfer, it is not just a matter of electing a leader. The exchange of interests and integration between the various forces will take time. If it does not take three to five years, the new clan leader will not be able to truly grasp the power. However, the current situation is that there is no Time, even if Ruan Phuc Shou is not outstanding, at least he is the head of the family that the Ruan Phuc clan has accepted.
"Bao'er, uncle, I can't help you anymore." Ruan Fuluomin knocked on the car window with his crutch, and a big man opened the door and walked in, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Gather all the vehicles, let's ride away, and kill him!" Ruan Phuc Luo Min didn't even look at Ruan Phuc Bao, who looked frightened, and stood up and walked out of the carriage. Behind him came Ruan Phuc's muffled cries for help and struggles. Soon, the big man got out of the carriage and said, "Master, do you want to burn these carriages?"
"No need." Ruan Phuc Luo Min glanced at his car indifferently and shook his head.
Two and an hour later, Shan Yuming led a thousand soldiers to chase the convoy, but found nothing except the body of the palace master. Shan Yuming sent half of his men to continue chasing the murderer, and he drove the cart back. The news of the palace lord's murder must be informed to the princess as soon as possible, because the princess was the second in line to succeed the palace lord.
Not long after we turned back, Ruan Phu A Giang came over on a little white horse. When he saw the body of his elder brother, Ruan Phu A Giang looked at it quietly for a while without saying a word, and then ordered to go back to the city.
"Inform Hongchang of the news as soon as possible." This was the first thing Ruan Fu Ajiang said after returning to the city. Ma San nodded heavily, "Old madam, please rest assured, Ma San will personally handle this matter." thing."
That night, Nguyen Phu A Giang came forward to host the auction. She spoke softly and smiled with a perfect demeanor. No one could see anything wrong with her. As for why Nguyen Phuc Bao did not appear, Nguyen Phu A Giang's explanation was , "Eldest brother has sent his uncle off, and it won't be back until a few days at the earliest."
Ruan Phu Ajiang did not waste any words to explain to the three palace masters. He just sold Benson to Quang Ninh Palace and Kuik Kun to Taiyuan Palace according to the planned plan. The two towns received 300,000 taels and 450,000 taels respectively. silver. As for resources such as minerals and forests, Gao Fu presided over the auction, and several big bosses were not interested in caring about them. After receiving 50,000 taels in benefits, the head of Guangning Palace returned Benson to Lang Son Palace, and Taiyuan Palace finally took over. Zheng Lisheng watched the whole process and received a red envelope of 10,000 taels.
On the third day of October, the Pingxiangzhou Guards had surrounded Langba City for three days. Zhou Shixiong led four thousand troops of the Zhennan Guards and Pingxiang Guards to sneak into the middle area between Xuanguang City and Langba City on the first day of the lunar month and quietly Waiting for reinforcements from Xuanguang City.
Six thousand soldiers and horses surrounded Langba City, which made Ruan Fujun, who was in charge of Langba, frowning. Last time, he made a prompt decision to withdraw from Kuai Kun, and was publicly praised by his father Nguyen Phuc Thuy for the first time. He also asked Nguyen Phuc Chi to thank him, which made Nguyen Phuc Chi, his legitimate son, lose face. Later, Ruan Phuc Shou promoted him to be the Lord of Langba City, pretending to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but actually handed over Tuyuan Quang City to Ruan Phuc Chi, clearly telling him that no matter how good you are, you are still a commoner and there is no chance.
Ruan Fujun, who thought he would be the lord of Langba City for the rest of his life, found that he had a chance to stop being the lord of the city. However, his life might not be guaranteed even if he was not the lord of the city. Although the army under the city was under the banner of Lang Son Prefecture, Ruan Fujun knew the origins of these people very well. There had never been any government soldiers equipped with full sets of armor in the Northern Dynasties. These people must be the Ming Dynasty Guards in Pingxiangzhou.
"It's been three days. I wonder if my father will send someone to rescue me?" Ruan Fuchi muttered to himself as he looked to the southwest. In the past three days, he had eliminated ten groups of people to ask for help from Tuyuan Quang City, and at the same time detailed the invading enemy forces. The number of people and the level of soldiers and armor, I hope my father will try to capture the elite when he decides to rescue.
"Lord City Lord, the Lord of the Palace has sent the eldest son to lead four thousand city guards to rush to rescue. The Lord of the Palace has ordered you to stick to Langba." Finally waiting for the news of the rescue, Ruan Fuchi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ordered, "Four commanders, before the rescue arrives, We must defend Langba City, please." The four captains quickly bowed to accept the order.
Zhou Shixiong's private telescope observed something strange in the distance, and he quickly ordered everyone to hide. He did not plan to block the Xuanguang Army here, but wanted to outflank the Xuanguang Army's retreat and encircle and suppress the supporting army near Langba City.
Looking at the 4,000 Xuanguang troops passing under his nose, Zhou Shixiong couldn't help but sigh, "This rural area is rubbish. They have elite troops and they don't know how to send reconnaissance cavalry first. They just move in piles. How can we win against such an army?" There¡¯s no sense of accomplishment.¡±
This siege was both fierce and uneventful. Ten miles west of Langba City, Ruan Fuchi saw the Ming army waiting in formation. When he ordered the formation to fight, shouts of killing came from behind and he was surrounded by 10,000 Pingxiangzhou guards. , the four thousand Tuyen Quang army was almost wiped out, only Nguyen Phuc Chi and his guards escaped with their horses. Unfortunately, Guan Chongguang, who commanded 6,000 guards to block the way forward, deliberately exposed him to the city of Langba. Ruan Fuchi could only follow the script written by Guan Chongguang and bring the news of the total destruction of the reinforcements into Langba. .
Afterwards, Zhou Shixiong ordered the troops to rest for a night. The next day, Guan Chongguang led four thousand elites to march towards Xuanguang City. Zhou Shixiong kept the camp under Langba City and waited for good news.
"Madam, the two sons of Ruan Fushou are still unwilling to surrender?" Zhu Ying was dragged down by Zhou Shixiong and could not attack Xuanguang City with the main force, so he stayed at Langba camp to accompany Zhou Shixiong. In order to make Zhu Ying happy, Zhou Shixiong gave her the idea of ??sending a message with random arrows. He told the defenders of Langba City that Lang Son and Taiyuan provinces would join forces to attack Tuyen Quang Palace. The 40,000 troops would be able to wipe out all resistance. He hoped that the defenders of Langba City would The army immediately surrendered to the enemy and kidnapped Nguyen Phuc Chi and Nguyen Phuc Tuan out of the city to surrender.
In fact, Zhou Shixiong hopes to trick Ruan Fuchi and Ruan Fuchun into surrendering. In this case, he can take these 6,000 new soldiers to Xuanguang City to help. Three days passed, but a few pawns came to surrender, but there was no movement from Ruan Phuc Chi and Ruan Phuc Chun.
"Ms. Sir, that Ruan Phucchi is Ruan Phucshou's legitimate son. How could the next head of Tuyen Quang Mansion surrender to you so casually? We'd better send people to attack the city. Such a low wall can be breached in a few strokes." After Zhu Ying got married, She is still so out of touch. If the woman's hairstyle hadn't been changed, it would have been difficult to connect her with ordinary married women.
"Forget it, it's better not to kill people if you can. This battle will be won without a doubt. There is no need to do such a thankless thing." Zhou Shixiong fought to the point where he didn't want to die. It was really outrageous. Therefore, God must punish him!
"Master Ji, Manager Ma wants to see you." The guard led Ma San in. Zhou Shixiong knew he was there as soon as he saw his shaky appearance.Question, he quickly stepped forward to support him.
