    "So few? What does Zheng Zai want to do!" Fan Huisheng just ordered his troops after hearing this, and couldn't figure out what Zheng Zai had in mind.

    "Sir, I think Zheng Zai wants to use the name of Thang Long Mansion to scare you away. After all, Zheng Zai is the nominal leader of the Northern Vietnam Dynasty. If you fight with the troops of Thang Long Mansion, I am afraid that he will be the leader of rebellion.  It's a promise." Guan Zhongguang was indeed a scholar who had been in the officialdom. He immediately grasped the key points and exposed Zheng Zai's plot.  []

    "Things like committing rebellion were very serious in the Ming Dynasty, but the palace master has never done anything to cause rebellion in Jiaozhi, so who really cares!" Fan Huisheng didn't see it that way. As the former general of the Taiyuan Prefecture,  I have seen countless edicts issued by King Ping'an in order to mediate the fight between Taiyuan Prefecture and Xuanguang Prefecture. If this is called committing rebellion, the Fan family of Taiyuan Prefecture has done so eight hundred times.

    "What both of you said makes sense. Why don't we go meet this Mo Chongtang and see what Zheng Zai's idea is." After discussing for a while, no solution was found, Zhou Shixiong came up with an idea, and everyone followed the order and left.  .

    Early the next morning, four hundred chariots formed a formation under Taiyuan City and drove southward under the escort of 5,000 Lang Son troops. Standing on the top of the city, Fan Gandhi sighed silently and said nothing.  Return to the city.  A few days ago, the Lang Son Army arrived at Taiyuan City. Ji Hongchang sent someone to deliver a letter to Fan Gandi, which made two demands.  First, return Nguyen Phuc¡¯s prisoners of war and compensate for the losses.  Second, cede Pingge City and Heping Mansion.

    These two demands seem excessive. In fact, Ji Hongchang has already hinted that he does not intend to exterminate Van Gandhi.  The prisoners of war of the Nguyen Phuc family were originally the trophies of Ji Hongchang, and they belonged to Ji Hongchang just like Haupinh Mansion. If you, Van Gandhi, want to seize other people's things, you will have to pay the price if you can't defeat them.  Cession of Pingge City is also the proper meaning of the title.  The only thing that confused Van Gandhi was the issue of compensation. He had never heard of war compensation.

    Although there are nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City, more than 10,000 of them are from Pingge City.  But Van Gandhi was not interested in sending troops out of the city to confront the Lang Son Army. He did not want to lose all his wealth.  Because he finally saw the giant monster, the chariot, that his men were talking about after escaping.

    Four hundred chariots were arranged in twenty square formations and conducted a parade under Taiyuan City. The Taiyuan soldiers on the city were so cold that they were as silent as cicadas.  They could not imagine how they could withstand the impact of these giant monsters with their flesh and blood bodies, let alone what they would do in the face of the overwhelming volleys of spears.  Just a patrol around the city by the Lang Son Army brought the morale of Taiyuan soldiers to an all-time low.  Under such circumstances, how could Van Gandhi send troops to fight? It was not fighting, it was going to die.

    Fan Gandhi pinned his last hope on Zheng Zai, and Zhou Shixiong was not in a hurry to attack Taiyuan City. Anyway, he had enough food and grass, so it would be good to save a few lives.  Moreover, Zhou Shixiong's purpose was not to occupy Taiyuan Prefecture, but to force Fan Gandhi to surrender.

    Mo Chongtang is about fifty years old, with a dark and thin build and a goatee. If he hadn't been wearing fish scale armor to show his status, no one would be able to connect this bad old man with the general.  "Mo Li, Mo Zhi, have you found out the news about Taiyuan City and the master of Lang Son Palace?" Mo Chongtang led five thousand soldiers and horses into Taiyuan Palace, rested in the ancient hard city in the south of Taiyuan Palace, and sent two of his own  The two sons inquired about Taiyuan City and Ji Hongchang respectively.

    "Father, Taiyuan City was besieged by the Lang Son Legion, but there was no fighting between the two sides." Mo Li was responsible for inquiring about Taiyuan City. Unfortunately, he left a little early. If he had left a day later, he would have seen four hundred tanks.  The trip is a spectacular sight.

    "Father, the head of Lang Son Palace, Ji Hong Chang, is the adopted son of the former head of the house, Nguyen Phuc Bao. After Nguyen Phuc Bao was assassinated by Nguyen Phuc Loc Min, Nguyen Phuc Bao's sister, Princess Taiping Nguyen Phuc A Giang, promoted him to power. Ji Hong Chang  When he first became the head of Lang Son Palace, he joined forces with Taiyuan Palace to attack Tuyen Quang Palace. Ji Hongchang personally led the army to defeat Tuyuan Quang City and killed Nguyen Phuc Bao's enemy Nguyen Phuc Thu. After the Civil War broke out, Ji Hongchang put aside the past and let go of his relationship with the Nguyen Phuc family.  In the battle, he sent troops to resist the Li Dynasty's attack, and achieved good results in several palaces in the south. It is said that Zheng Zhuang's defeat and escape was the work of this palace master."

    Mo Li¡¯s information was brief and contentless, while Mo Zhi¡¯s information was rich and colorful, covering almost all major events during Zhou Shixiong¡¯s time.  Mo Chongtang listened to the reports of his two sons expressionlessly, and asked coldly, "What do you think Zheng Zai had in mind when he sent his father to Taiyuan Mansion?"

    The two brothers looked at each other, and Mo Li replied, "Father, Zheng Zai doesn't have a good impression of his father. I'm afraid it won't be a good thing to suddenly entrust him with an important task this time."

    Seeing that his father had no reaction, Mo Zhi took over what his eldest brother said, "Sending troops to fight has only two outcomes, victory or defeat. Zheng Zai only gave his father five thousand troops to defeat the famous Lang Son Army, huh."

    Mo Zhi replaced the answer with a cold snort. Mo Li and Mo Chongtang both nodded slightly, agreeing with his opinion.  Neither the father nor the son are new brothers on the battlefield. They will not be superstitious about bullshit praises such as undefeated famous generals. They have fewer troops than the other party and their support is comparable.Mr. Fang, the morale is poor compared to the opponent. It is enough to have one or two of these three points, let alone all three.

    "Of course you have to find a scapegoat to take the blame if you lose. My father is the most suitable scapegoat." Mo Chongtang stood up and told the fate of the defeat. The two brothers smiled bitterly.

    "Actually, there is a third outcome of the war, but few people have the opportunity to see it, and that is a tie. Don't even think about a situation like being a father." Mo Chongtang believed that Zheng Zai would not dare to do so anyway.  Kill yourself. After all, Zheng Du's body is still cold. If Zheng Zai kills Mo Chongtang, all the old ministers Zheng Du in Shenglong Mansion will die. Zheng Zai cannot afford such a loss.

    But Mo Chongtang was even more angry. He had spent his whole life fighting in the north and south to build a great reputation, and then a little brat like Zheng Zai planned a defeat to hurt his reputation. No one could bear this kind of cowardice, let alone Mo.  Chongtang.  If Mo Chongtang is given 10,000 troops, although there is no guarantee of victory, he will certainly not lose easily.

    "Hey, why are you thinking so much? Since you are bound to lose, then just lose happily. Mo Li, Mo Zhi, you two are waiting in the ancient hard city. I will go to Taiyuan City to see the power of the Langshan Army.  ." Knowing that there are no ifs in this world, Mo Chongtang put aside the entanglement in his heart and ordered.

    "Father!" Mo Chongtang's decision frightened his two sons. They knew what it meant without even thinking, and how could they not be in a hurry.

    "Calm down, my father has taught you to follow orders and prohibitions since you were young, haven't you learned it yet?" Mo Chongtang shouted, never expecting that such a thin body could produce such a big deal.  Mo Li and Mo Zhi fell to their knees, crying and loudly receiving orders.

    Most of the 5,000 soldiers who followed Mo Chongtang on the expedition were the personal soldiers of Mo Chongtang and his confidants. Mo Chongtang left all these people to his two sons and set off with only 2,000 new soldiers. That night, Mo Li and Mo  Zhi led three thousand men to leave the ancient hard city and headed west.  Two days later, Mo Chongtang's two thousand soldiers and horses were surrounded by the Lang Son Army during the march. They were completely wiped out in a battle. Mo Chongtang committed suicide and died.

    Zhou Shixiong initially thought he had encountered the leading troops of Shenglong Mansion, but when he arrived at Guhard City, he realized that the previously destroyed army was all the troops of Shenglong Mansion, and the rest had already escaped.  "General Fan, what's going on?"

    Fan Huisheng smiled bitterly. He didn't know what was going on. He had followed Ji Hongchang in the Chinese army since the expedition and had never been anywhere. When the two thousand soldiers and horses were surrounded and annihilated, Zhou Er and Yu Jia'ao were in command.  Later, I only heard that two thousand enemy soldiers were wiped out without any prisoners. When the Lord of the Palace asked him this, he couldn't answer.

    "Go and capture some of the defenders of the ancient hard city." After the ancient hard city was defeated by Zheng Zai, Fan Gandi did not send a large army to guard it, but expressed his surrender to Zheng Zai with actions. The hundreds of Taiyuan soldiers who stayed in the city,  Seeing that the Lang Son Army was so powerful, of course they ran away completely. Zhou Shixiong couldn't find anyone even if he tried to look for them.  As a result, Mo Chongtang, a fierce general in the Northern Vietnam Dynasty, died silently and in a weird way.

    "Retreat the troops." They came with great fanfare to fight the troops of Shenglong Mansion, but the result was like this. Zhou Shixiong led his troops back to Taiyuan City in confusion, and continued to surround Fan Ganji and bow his head. Zheng Zai could not get accurate information, so he could only  I vaguely heard that the Lang Son Army annihilated a group of Thang Long soldiers and horses, but the specific situation is unclear.

    When the chariot battalion returned to Taiyuan City, Fan Ganjie knew that it was over. Regardless of whether Shenglong Prefecture sent troops to rescue them, Taiyuan Prefecture had no hope.  After thinking hard for a day, Van Gandhi sent people out of the city to negotiate peace with Lang Son, hoping that Ji Hongchang would save him some face, and Van Gandhi was willing to spend money to redeem Binh Ghat.

    "Sir, actually it doesn't matter whether you occupy Pingge City or not. With the strength of Lang Son Prefecture's soldiers and horses, it will be easy to capture this city. It would be more cost-effective to ask for more food and money." After two years as the governor of the state, the official  Shigemitsu is more like a bookkeeper, and he pays more attention to money than others.

    "You and your descendants are almost greedy for money. You are more greedy for money than me." Fan Gandi relented, Zhou Shixiong was in a good mood, and it was a rare joke that he had become an official.

    "Sir, you are not a rich man and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. The iron ore and coal mines in Lang Son Province are yours and you don't have to spend money to buy them. But the miners must be paid, and the craftsmen in Dingli City must also be paid.  Since the beginning of the Civil War, trade routes have been almost cut off, and now even rats are not willing to live in the warehouses of Lang Son Province. If you don¡¯t get more money to go back, you won¡¯t be able to have a good year this year!¡±

    Since Guan Chongguang left Pingxiang Prefecture, most of Pingxiang Prefecture's income has been taken by Wang Zunde. Only part of the land tax is the food of the Zhennan Hou Mansion. Wang Zunde dare not touch it, but the Zhennan Hou Mansion raises a large group of women.  The land tax is just enough. Generally speaking, Pingxiangzhou is officially weaned.

    "Isn't that right? I know that trade routes are cut off, but the medicinal material business in Pingxiangzhou is the exclusive business of the Zhennan Hou Mansion. Isn't it possible to earn enough to support the family?" Zhou Shixiong arranged for a female disciple to manage the pharmaceutical factory, and two famous products became popular.  In theory, it is impossible to make money in Guangdong, Guangxi, Cochin and other places.
