    After the Waking of Insects, the Nanling area gradually entered the rainy season. On the day Emperor Longwu was kidnapped, it started to rain non-stop.  There was no sunshine from morning to night every day, and the sky was always gloomy. The drizzle was intermittent, and it was always dripping wet. It felt cold and unbearable. Emperor Longwu felt as depressed as the weather.  Feeling cold.  On the night when he was kidnapped, the furious Emperor Longwu suddenly fell ill with high fever, which shocked Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong. Fortunately, after timely medication, his condition quickly stabilized, and he only needed bed rest.  Emperor Wu lay there from morning to night, with a straight face, unwilling to talk to anyone, but he was a tough-minded man, and had no intention of committing suicide from the beginning. Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong saw that he had calmed down.  , no longer tied his hands and feet, but sent someone to stay by his side.  Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong were in a very good mood. They went to Daozhou to act as kidnappers. Not only did they kidnap Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng back, but they also had Tang Laihe, Wang Kun, Ma Jixiang and others as additions, and they rescued  The arrested Chu Xun official's bold adventure was a great success. After joining the follow-up troops, he was temporarily out of danger. As long as he returned to Huguang safely, no one could stop Emperor Longwu from going to Nanjing.  The only regret is that the prince was not found.  When Yao Qisheng heard about this incident, he repeatedly exclaimed that it was a pity: "The two generals were so close that they did not capture Tang Wang Zhu Yuxuan together. Since the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, Tang Wang has become very important and should not fall into the hands of others." Tan Tan  Xiao slapped his thigh and said regretfully: "Oh, I was only looking for the emperor at that time, but I didn't think about this relationship! Otherwise, why don't we just go to Daozhou again and kidnap His Highness Prince Tang back?" Ming Dynasty  Few emperors in the past dynasties lived long. Emperor Longwu was nearly fifty years old and suffered from various physical problems. It was difficult to say how many years he could live. Having Tang Wang Zhu Yuxuan in his hands would be an extra layer of insurance.  Zhou Guodong disapproved: "Forget it, let's go to Daozhou now, how can Prince Tang still dare to show up? He can't be found wherever he hides, and his trip is in vain. Hehe, it's actually not a big deal. If you can't find him all the time,  When he becomes the crown prince, he will most likely adopt one from the side clan. " Tan Xiaoyu felt uneasy and asked, "Will He Wuzu and Chen Zizhuang support the Tang Dynasty? " Yao Qisheng shook his head and smiled: "Wait until the emperor arrives in Nanjing safely.  After paying homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum and announcing it to the world, the integrity of the imperial court is no longer in dispute. As long as He Wuzu and Chen Zizhuang are not crazy, they will not dare to support the Tang Dynasty. " Tan Xiao knew that the other party was right, but he still wanted to argue.  : "That's not certain. If He Wuzu and Chen Zizhuang insist on supporting the king of Tang, what can you do to him?" "You can't do anything to him. Just watch him defeat himself." Yao Qisheng was not in a hurry.  Annoyed, Wenyan smiled and said: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. Zhu Yuxuan competes with Brother Nai for the throne, which is against the rule of law. As long as he dares to declare his accession to the throne, everyone will betray his relatives. When he comes to Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, etc.  With four flags raised, the message can be decided" "In order to avoid unnecessary friction, the Chu army bypassed Daozhou County and crossed diagonally from the northwest, preparing to go to Lingling. However, just halfway through, scouts were sent to explore  According to the report, the troops of Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen blocked the road to Lingling, and raised the flag of King Qin to rescue them. The troops were divided into three groups and were pressing towards the Chu army. They were clearly heading for Emperor Longwu.  At the same time, the news that Emperor Longwu was kidnapped by Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong quickly spread throughout the nearby state capitals, and various forces responded in different ways. The civil and military officials under Emperor Longwu almost unanimously expressed their strongest opinions towards Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong.  Strong condemnation, among which Xiong Wei, the governor of Hunan, has the highest official position. As for Su Guansheng who is far away in Guangzhou, and Wan Yuanji who is still in Fujian, no news has been received yet, but the King Qin army sent by Su Guansheng to meet them has already arrived in northern Guangdong.  In the Nanling area, when I heard that Emperor Longwu had been kidnapped by the Chu army, he immediately stopped advancing and stationed heavy troops at various passes in Nanling. It was obvious that he had a cautious attitude of "go slowly, watch and pass three times".  As a result, the Chu army was in an embarrassing situation surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the space for movement was very small, with almost no room for detours. According to the Chu army's previous tactical principles, if the enemy in front was strong, they should retreat.  To advance, or to flank the flanks, to mobilize the enemy through mobile warfare, so as to find fighter planes and jump out of the enemy's encirclement. However, Liu Wenxiu's tens of thousands of Western troops were behind him, and his flanks were the Nanling Mountains with difficult terrain. He used retreat as a route to advance and flank.  They are all blocked, and the only way to break out is to fight a bloody path forward.  This battle seems inevitable and must be fought!  ¡°However, Tan Xiao still wants to make one last effort.  "Damn it, Liu Fangliang and Dang Shousu, these two white-eyed wolves, used to prey on me and take advantage of me. Now they have turned around and beat me. It's simply unreasonable." Tan Xiao scolded Yao Qisheng and told him  Said: "Your pen is the sharpest. Write a letter for me, scold these two bastards Liu Fangliang and Dang Shousu, and then tell them that as long as they let us go, it will be a great achievement. Wang Junmen is now the leader of the employing people.  At that time, they were welcome to rejoin the Chu army.  "The Chu army is now in a very dangerous situation. Emperor Longwu is like a powerful magnet, attracting Liu Wenxiu's tens of thousands of Western troops to pursue him. If Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen are entangled again, there may be real dangers.  The danger of annihilation of the entire army was a threat in the end, so Tan Xiao finally put away his bad temper and planned to say a few soft words to Liu Fangliang and Dang Shousu in an effort to turn the conflict into friendship and overcome this difficulty. "Writing letters won't work.  Let me go there myself. Liu Fangliang owed me a favor back then at the gate of Jingzhou City.  "Zhou Guodong also knew that the situation was dangerous and planned to take the risk to meet Liu Fangliang. The Chu army is now trapped in the mountainous area of ????Nanling. Both Liu Danghe's camp and Liu Wenxiu's Western Army have experienced hundreds of battles.  The elite troops are also a powerful enemy for the Chu army, and the opponent¡¯s strength is several times that of the Chu army. The chance of winning this battle is slim. ¡°You can¡¯t go!  "Tan Xiao's attitude was very firm and Zhou Guodong was not allowed to take risks. "During the Battle of Huguang, Liu Fangliang was trapped under a tight siege under Jingzhou City. Thanks to Zhou Guodong's timely arrival to rescue him, he saved his life, as well as thousands of his subordinates. However,  This matter has been going on for a long time, and it was difficult to persuade Liu Fangliang to change his position based on his personal friendship. In the end, Yao Qisheng wrote a letter to Liu Fangliang in the name of Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, and sent it to Liu Fangliang's army by messenger.  At this time, the two armies were not far apart, and the envoy rushed back on the same day. However, he did not bring back the good news that Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong were expecting. "Liu Fangliang tore up the letter and said that he would chop it up.  He took my head off, but quietly put me back.  The envoy looked a little scared and said: "Liu Fangliang also asked me to bring back a sentence. As long as we let the emperor go, he will get out of the way."  " " Nonsense!  Liu Fangliang is indeed a thief. He has become a robber again. He wants to pass by from now on and leave money to buy the way, right?  I worked so hard to bring the emperor here, why should I let him get away with it?  Tan Xiao was already very conscious of being a kidnapper. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to escort Ma Jixiang over: "Old Ma, I want to borrow something from you, but don't be reluctant to part with it."  Ma Jixiang rolled his eyes and asked cautiously: "What does General Tan want to borrow?"  " Tan Xiao smiled brightly: "I'll lend you your head. I got into trouble with the kidnapping. Now I want to break up the vote!  " He cut off Ma Jixiang's head with a knife and sent someone to Liu Fangliang's army. At the same time, he sent a letter with only one sentence - retreat twenty miles, otherwise Wang Kun's head will be sent next time.  Then came Tang Laihe, and finally Emperor Longwu. ¡°Such false threats are too obvious, and I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t scare Liu Fangliang.  "Yao Qisheng felt that Ma Jixiang was still useful. It would be too wasteful to kill him like this. The Chu army could not kill Emperor Longwu easily. This kind of threat with a fierce look and a soft heart was meaningless. "This is called losing the enemy but not losing the formation, do you understand?  "Tan Xiao is like a gambler who plays psychological warfare. He knows that Liu Fangliang has a good hand, but he still insists on opening the cards to see his hole cards. That's how I am. I'm such a fool. I will compare my cards with you no matter what.  , don¡¯t try to steal the chicken in front of me: ¡°Just killing one Ma Jixiang, of course, won¡¯t scare Liu Fangliang. I just used Ma Jixiang¡¯s head to tell him, don¡¯t make me anxious, otherwise, at worst, we will be separated and I will chop him down.¡±  Give him the emperor's head" Facts have proved that Tan Xiao's threats are quite effective. Although Liu Fangliang does not believe that he really dares to kill Emperor Longwu, there are no eyesight on the battlefield. Once the war starts, how can he defeat thousands of troops?  Ensuring Emperor Longwu's safety on the battlefield was a difficult problem for Liu Fangliang. Although he did not retreat twenty miles as Tan Xiao said, his advance slowed down. He did not dare to do so because he did not have a foolproof strategy for the time being.  The current situation is to press too hard on Tan Xiao. For Liu Fangliang and others, Emperor Longwu cannot make any mistakes. If Tan Xiao is forced to use drastic measures, it will complicate the problem.  , it would be difficult to remedy the situation. Liu Danghe agreed that the safest way would be to lure Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong to Ningyuan, defeat them in one fell swoop, and then quickly rescue Emperor Longwu. At the same time, Tan Xiaohe and  Zhou Guodong suddenly accelerated his march and marched straight into Ningyuan. "As long as we pass through Ningyuan, we can get out of the Nanling Mountains and leave Liu Fangliang behind. Everyone, let's send the Buddha to the west. Can we successfully send the emperor to the west?"  Nanjing, it depends on this battle!  "Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong have been battle-hardened veterans for the past few years. They just looked at the map and knew that King Qin's army would not ignore Ningyuan, a transportation hub, and would definitely be there.Heavy troops are deployed here to guard it, but the Chu army has no other choice now and must break out from Ningyuan.
