Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Guan Yu Ying's words are serious. I know what you are thinking. Go back to Lang Son Palace and tell the master of the palace that you should step back." Since Guan Chongguang has made the guarantee, Yu Jia'ao does not want to say anything disappointing at this time.  , and retreated.

    In order to demoralize the enemy troops in Pingge City, the Lang Son Army tied the captured Taiyuan soldiers into a string and displayed them under Pingge City.  Fan Huisheng got the report and quickly went to the city to watch. Soon, he found a familiar face among the prisoners in the city. A cold air rushed from his back to the top of his head. He slowly sat on the ground with his feet trembling, "It's over, it's all over!"

    Fan Huisheng saw many generals he had single-handedly promoted. Since these people became prisoners of the Lang Son Army, it meant that Taiyuan Mansion had lost at least five thousand soldiers and horses, and these soldiers and horses were all the most elite in the mansion.  After losing these elite soldiers, no matter how many soldiers and horses are left in Taiyuan City, they will not be able to withstand the Lang Son Army. This army cannot be withstood by numbers.

    Fan Huisheng's fall was the last straw for Pingge City's tortured camel. Hundreds of defenders fled across the city that night. Guan Chongguang magnanimously let go of the encirclement, allowing them to easily achieve their goals.

    The siege lasted for half a month, and the time was approaching the end of the year. Zhou Shixiong personally escorted the 300 chariots that had been built to arrive at Pingge City.  "Your Excellency, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my duty." In the big tent, Guan Chongguang led several generals to report to Zhou Shixiong, focusing on describing the battle of Bange Town and taking out the list of prisoners of war to show his merit.

    "Well done!" Zhou Shixiong was very happy. The tank he designed could achieve such brilliant results, completely beyond his expectation. Of course he was very happy.

    Guan Chongguang pointed at Pingge City in the distance and said with a smile, "Sir, there is another good news. These Tianpingge City defenders have almost run away. All it takes to capture Pingge City is a letter from Jiutianwen.

    Fan Huisheng saw the Lang Son army increasing its troops in the city, while the defenders of Binh Ge City fled in large numbers, knowing that the defeat was certain.  But he knew better that the Lang Son Army didn't care if the soldiers escaped. He wanted to escape but it was impossible. The Lang Son Army did not launch an offensive for so long, just to force him to surrender.

    Fan Huisheng knows his own affairs. The last time he lost Taiyuan City, the leader of the palace, Fan Ganji, was no longer trustworthy. This time he lost Pingge City. There will be no good fruits when he returns to Taiyuan City. What will be the consequences of the defeat?  Think more.  But Fan Huisheng couldn't surrender in a hurry. This was not only a matter of face, but also a matter of reputation.  In this day and age, those who know the current situation usually do not end well.

    Fan Huisheng wanted to surrender but was afraid of face. When he received the surrender letter from the Lang Son Army, he finally found a ladder to go down. Fan Huisheng cooperated very well and put on a show in front of his subordinates to let them know that he, Fan Huisheng, was surrendering.  It's for the sake of my subordinates.  Regardless of whether the play was performed well or not, the news of Fan Huisheng's surrender was a fatal blow to Fan Gandhi, the leader of Taiyuan City. He couldn't figure out how Fan Huisheng dared to surrender to the enemy. This was unscientific.

    Fan Huisheng not only surrendered to the enemy, but also dedicated the entire city of Binh Ge to Lang Son Prefecture, giving Lang Son Prefecture a foothold in Taiyuan Prefecture. Whether Fan Gan was willing or not, Lang Son Prefecture could use Binh Ge City to encroach on Taiyuan Prefecture.  .

    Van Gandhi was not in the mood to be angry at this time. Two of his generals were killed and the other surrendered. Only 30,000 of the 50,000 soldiers were left. The most elite soldiers were completely damaged, making Taiyuan's combat power just a number. It could not compete with Lang Son.  There is no force to compete with the army.  The only thing Fan Gandhi could count on was the reinforcements from Shenglong Prefecture. If Zheng Zai sent troops to help defend Taiyuan Prefecture, I believe Ji Hongchang would not dare to risk falling out with Shenglong Prefecture and continue to attack Taiyuan City.

    Zheng Zai rescued 20,000 direct troops, and also took 20,000 troops from Heping Prefecture, which was regarded as the compensation given to him by Fan Gandhi.  As for Zheng Zai not moving the 40,000 Nguyen Phuc clan prisoners of war, one reason is that the Nguyen Phuc clan has not yet been truly extinct, and Zheng Zai must consider the reaction of the Nguyen Phuc clan.  Another concern is that as the heir to Prince Ping An, Zheng Zai would easily arouse the resentment of the various prefectures in Northern Vietnam if he seized the soldiers of the prefectures under his jurisdiction. Zheng Zai did not want to become a ruler that everyone reviled, so it would be better to be softer.  necessary.

    Ji Hongchang¡¯s reaction was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Zheng Zai received the news that Taiyuan Prefecture was attacked. At first, he thought that Fan Gandhi wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble and annexed Lang Son Prefecture.  Zheng Zai did not believe that Langshan Prefecture dared to take action against Taiyuan Prefecture.  But the urgent distress letter sent a few days later made Zheng Zai finally believe that Van Gandhi had not lied to him.

    There is no benefit to Zheng Zai from rescuing Taiyuan Mansion, and Zheng Zai's direct troops do not have a good impression of Taiyuan Mansion. Just look at Hu Hao's expression.  "Haha, this old guy has his day, he deserves it!" Hu Hao laughed while holding Van Gandhi's letter asking for help, not caring that his brother-in-law's face was getting uglier.

    Zheng Zai knew that his brother-in-law was a fool, but Hu Hao's reaction also represented the emotions of the soldiers who had been captured by Taiyuan Mansion. If they were sent to rescue Taiyuan Mansion, the result would probably be better than not sending them.  But Zheng Zai knew that he had to take some actions, otherwise the various prefectures in the Northern and Southern Dynasties would be destroyed.?How can you be sincerely loyal to yourself?  A weak King Ping An would definitely not be able to intimidate the masters of various palaces.

    "Hu Hao, stop making trouble. Van Gandhi has to be saved anyway. Let's see who is better." Zheng Zai thought for a while but couldn't think of a suitable way, so he stopped Hu Hao, who was still enjoying himself.  Hao.

    "Brother-in-law, I won't go. If you ask me, it would be best to send Mo Chongtang for this matter." Hu Haoren was a little confused, but he was not a fool. He knew that his brother-in-law Zheng Zai's decision was the right one.

    "Mo Chongtang?" Mo Chongtang is the number one general under Zheng Zai's father Zheng Du. He was responsible for forcing the palace to seize power. Even a wise and powerful man like Zheng Song was defeated. This shows Mo Chongtang's ability.  Not small.  But Zheng Zai doesn't like Mo Chongtang, just like Mo Chongtang doesn't like Zheng Zai.  Mo Chongtang attaches great importance to ethics. He believes that eldest son inheritance is the only magic weapon for family continuity, and the idea of ??selecting talents is nonsense.

    Zheng Zai¡¯s legitimate son is technically the eldest son, but Zheng Lisheng is more than ten years older than Zheng Zai. He has been helping his father Zheng Du since he was a child. He became the head of Beijiang Mansion all on his own merit.  Mo Chongtang was more optimistic about Zheng Lisheng, so he naturally despised Zheng Zai. Now that Zheng Zai's rise to power was a foregone conclusion, he would certainly not forget who had opposed him.  After the heir to the throne was determined, Zheng Zai immediately kicked Mo Chongtang away and put Hu Hao in charge of the Shenglong Mansion soldiers. He also kicked out all the generals promoted by Mo Chongtang and arranged for them to go with Mo Chongtang.  Zheng Du built a cemetery.

    "Yes, Mo Chongtang has a bad temper but is very capable. I know that my brother-in-law is not on the same page with him, so it would be best to leave this troublesome matter to him. If it's possible, Fan Gandi will take care of his brother-in-law, but if not, it's Mo Chongtang.  Brother-in-law, please tell me if you are right." Hu Hao spoke clearly and logically. Zheng Zai looked at him in surprise, not believing that these words were said by him.

    "Hu Hao, who taught you these words?" Zheng Zai was not polite to Hu Hao and directly asked the root cause.

    Hu Hao scratched his head, "Brother-in-law is really awesome. He knew right away that I couldn't say such a thing. My sister told me that. She said I couldn't help my brother-in-law with my thick head. My sister didn't want to lose my brother-in-law's face because of me.  I came up with this idea."

    "Mei'er? No wonder!" Zheng Zai was very happy. He had such an intelligent beauty to worry about for him, so there was nothing to complain about.

    "Brother-in-law, my sister won't let me tell you this, so you can't tell me everything." Zheng Zai ignored Hu Hao's nagging and wrote a document, "Hu Hao, then go and get this order."  Go to Mo Chongtang and ask him to act according to your orders." Zheng Zai was somewhat forgiving and ordered Mo Chongtang to lead five thousand soldiers to Taiyuan Mansion, and did not let him go empty-handed.

    In order to show that he attaches great importance to Taiyuan Prefecture, Zheng Zai also held a very grand ceremony to worship the general, and delivered a speech similar to an appeal at the ceremony. One was to cheer up Van Gandhi, and the other was to hope that the prefectures of Vietnam and North Korea would see him.  Determination.  As for whether Mo Chongtang could help Fan Ganji out, Zheng Zai did not consider it.

    Shenglong Mansion was carrying out a face-saving project with great fanfare. Zhou Shixiong quickly received a tip. With the latest information sent by Masan's people, Zhou Shixiong convened a meeting with his subordinates.  "General Fan, who is this Mo Chongtang?"

    Zhou Shixiong, Guan Chongguang and others were all serious Ming people, and their understanding of Jiaozhi was very superficial. They had never heard of Jiaozhi heroes like Zheng Song in Pingxiangzhou. If they had not come to the development base of the Northern Dynasty by fate, they might not have even heard of it.  I don¡¯t know anything about Le Chao, Mo Chao, or Nguyen Phuc.

    Fan Huisheng quickly stood up and saluted, "Reporting to the master of the palace, Mo Chongtang is the first general of Shenglong Palace. Well, it should be said that he was the first general of Zheng Du's period. After Zheng Du's death, Zheng Zai had already rushed him to build the cemetery. I don't know.  Why does the palace master ask about this person?" Fan Huisheng surrendered the city, and Zhou Shixiong generously rewarded him with the title of city guard. As for which city to be officially sealed, it still depends on the outcome of the war.

    "Five days ago, Zheng Zai paid homage to the general in Shenglong Mansion and sent Mo Chongtang to lead his troops to relieve the difficulties in Taiyuan Mansion. I have never heard of this man's name, so I asked him." Zhou Shixiong was very polite to the surrender faction.  I hope that I can encounter capitulationists every time. It is hard to say whether it will be reused.

    "Ah! May I ask the master of the palace, how many soldiers and horses does Mo Chongtang command?" Fan Huisheng was shocked by the news. Others didn't understand Mo Chongtang, but he knew it very well.  If it weren't for Mo Chongtang's outstanding ability, Zheng Dong would never have been able to secure the throne of King Ping An.  Fan Huisheng once sent troops with Mo Chongtang to attack the Li Dynasty. He had seen Mo Chongtang use troops and was very afraid of this man.

    "The message said to send 30,000 troops, but my people only saw about 10,000 troops leaving the city. It is estimated that there are less than 10,000 people." Ancient wars relied heavily on food and grass. An army of 10,000 people had to be cared for when eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping.  It's not as expensive as modern families taking care of an only child, but the ratio of 28 to 20 is already the lowest.

    ps: I became a disaster victim yesterday, I¡¯m sorry.
