Bright Spring

Having said that, An Nanguo has never set up a relatively large organizational system here.No one knows exactly what happened; maybe because of the supply problem, it is difficult for the Annan government to maintain for a long time?

The surrounding mountainous areas are populated by Yao, Miao and other tribes, who often rebel; Annan is also a place with many minorities, and it is difficult for them to receive enough taxes from minorities.

But the current Emperor Zhu Gaoxu of the Ming Dynasty had just ascended the throne, so he immediately ordered to set up guards in the Lang Son area.The government of the Ming Dynasty not only mobilized troops from Dongguan (also known as Thang Long, now Hanoi) to garrison fields and build a city here; Division, ignoring the loss along the post road supply here.

Liu Sheng walked all the way, and stood on the hillside to look at the map for a while, not only feeling in his heart: there is a person who is himself the commander of the army as the emperor, at least it will save a lot of trouble in fighting.Only those who know how to fight do not need to seek the opinions of the ministers, and they can understand where the military is important.

But Liu Sheng didn't say it, because Zhang Fu was still not very happy.The coach looked at the mountains and rivers and the army on the post road with a serious face, his expression made people a little afraid, and he didn't dare to make mistakes easily.

The Ming army at the foot of the mountain, including the Weisuo army and the soldiers of the supply battalion, has a total strength of only tens of thousands of troops, but marching on this post road between the mountains and forests is still very large, and the mighty team can't see the beginning and the end.

The mountains and forests on all sides were very quiet. The Ming army controlled the entire area, and there were no accidents in the march.Only the movement of the army was inexplicably shrouded in a majestic and solemn atmosphere.

The footsteps of Buqi are like some kind of musical instrument ensemble, maintaining a uniform rhythm, marching neatly amidst the sound of cowhide drums.Donkey carts, wheelbarrows, and the army seemed to fill the entire valley, and the fog and dust in the midair mixed together like clouds.

Zhang Fu seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and turned to Liu Sheng and said, "Our army is not strong enough. Marquis An Yuan came up with a brilliant idea in front of His Majesty, and even divided up more than 2 troops."

This old man finally expressed his unhappiness in his heart. Liu Sheng had already guessed what was going on, but he couldn't confirm it, so he felt relieved now.

It turned out that Liu Sheng thought that he had a good personal relationship with Zhang Fu.After all, they fought the King of Han's army together and surrendered together, and they usually have contacts with each other about what they do at home.However, Liu Sheng suddenly felt that any friendship is just wishful thinking; in Zhang Fu's heart, only military merit is the most important.

Perhaps Zhang Fu was not too happy about his achievements in Mongolia and Liu Sheng last year.

Liu Sheng said calmly: "The last general is just making a suggestion, isn't it all the Holy One who makes the decision?"

"Huh..." Zhang Fu let out a soft sound from his nose, "There is no danger along the way from Langshanwei to Annan. The Marquis of Anyuan insisted on taking the sea route. Do you understand the sea affairs? More than 2 soldiers, if they meet When the sea is not calm, if there is any mistake, I will see how you explain it."

But Liu Sheng didn't buy it, and continued to refute: "The general doesn't understand, but the eunuch Hou Xian patted his chest. That time in the Rouyi Palace, the commander was also present. Hou Xian didn't say anything, the north of Qinghua It’s a bay, blocked by Qiongzhou (Hainan Island) and Leizhou Prefecture to the east, so there’s not much wind and waves; the wrecked ships of the navy from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian can also come here, not to mention the ships from the capital?”

Zhang Fu frowned and looked at Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng looked at him for a while.Zhang Fu didn't say any more.

As long as Liu Sheng does not disobey the military orders, he is not afraid of Zhang Fu at all.Because he has worked with Zhang Fu for a long time and knows Zhang Fu too well.

This person is a bit hypocritical and often very unkind. For example, when Zhang Fu felt that the King of Han was in a weak position, he directly arrested the governor of the King of Han, Shi, and sent him to the capital to ask for credit.But Zhang Fu is a qualified military general, he will not abolish the public for personal reasons and affect the battle situation. During the "Ping-Han War" period, Zhang Fu disliked too many people, and he didn't do much.

The only time people thought that the incident of coercing public reports for personal gain was to deal with He Fu; but the truth later became known, He Fu did have a different intention, and Zhang Fu did not wrong him...

The army gradually arrived at the flat area near Lang Sonwei, and each army chose a place to camp.The generals entered the Acropolis and came to the temporary camp of the Chinese Army.

Soon there was a military general who came to Xingyuan of the Central Army to report the matter. The person who came was Li Bin, who seemed to be very familiar with Zhang Fu.Liu Sheng knew that Zhang Fu was in command of Annan when Yongle conquered Annan, and it seemed that Li Bin was Zhang Fu's old unit; Liu Sheng didn't come that time, so he didn't know much about the situation, so it was just a guess.

Li Bin brought Huang Zhong's letter.

The current deputy governor of the Annan Dudu Mansion (the governor is the king of Annan) is Huang Zhong, who was on the side of the abolished prince during the civil war in Ming Dynasty; and refused the surrender of the Han Palace many times until the capital was broken I had no choice but to obey the imperial edict.But the emperor did not cleanse these people, and still let Huang Zhong lead the army in Annan; probably because Huang Zhong was Zhang Fu's old department, and he still recognized Zhang Fu as a benefactor.

The relationship between them made Liu Sheng feel that the Holy Majesty and Zhang Fu seem to be the same kind of person nowadays, and generally they would not deal with someone just because of their likes and dislikes.

Li Bindao: "Captain Huang has said several times in a row, or he will confess his mistakes in front of the commander-in-chief, claiming that he has owed the commander-in-chief."

While opening the letter, Zhang Fu immediately asked, "What did he do?"

Li Bindao: "Dudu Huang withdrew the garrisons of Bac Giang and Tsz Son (now Bac Ninh Province, Vietnam). Now the post road between Dongguan (Hanoi) and Lang Son Guard has been cut off, and the only way to communicate is to detour from the west.

Since last month, the rebels have marched northward in many ways, with more and more troops and fierce attacks.Neither the Dongguan Mansion nor the Lang Son Guard dared to abandon it. Dudu Huang was worried that his troops would be scattered and defeated, so he abandoned Beijiang and other places, and gathered troops in Dongguan and Lang Son to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.Later, these places were all occupied by the rebels, and Governor Huang felt that he could not justify retreating without fighting, and he knew that he was wrong..."

Zhang Fu reacted indifferently, with a look of indifference.He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he felt that the matter was not serious.

Li Bin said again: "Since this month, the rebels have successively gathered heavy troops in two places. One is in the lower reaches of the Yellow River (Red River) in Dongguan Mansion, threatening the key areas of Dongguan. The other is in Beijiang Mansion, where the rebel generals It was Ruan Shuai; they got the news from nowhere, as if they knew in advance that the reinforcements would come from Lang Son Guard."

Zhang Fu quickly ordered: "Send people to go back and tell Huang Zhong, and immediately mobilize the main force to cross the Yellow River, control the coast of the Dongjiang (a tributary of the Red River east of Hanoi), and burn all the boat bridges."

Li Bin was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that he heard it wrong, he hurriedly asked: "The commander-in-chief, Huang Dudu doesn't need to stick to Dongguan City?"

Zhang Fu frowned and asked back: "If Huang Zhong doesn't leave Dongguan, who will cut off the retreat of the traitor Ruan Shuai?"

Li Bin bowed and bowed, and reminded in a deep voice: "In the southeast of Dongguan Mansion, there are a lot of rebels, maybe a hundred thousand..."

Zhang Fu said coldly: "Aren't you still in Dongguan?"

"Yes, yes." Li Bin could only clasped his fists in agreement.

Zhang Fu turned to look at Liu Sheng: "There are more than 2 people in the Marquis of Anyuan, and they will set off tomorrow. After leaving the Langshan Mountains, they will go straight to Zhiling Village. You must first let the vanguard take a boat bridge to cross the Taiping River, and then Attack Zhiling Village in a detour from the east. This way crossing the river will not be disturbed, and it will save you crossing the river a few times."

Liu Sheng came to Annan for the first time, and he was not as familiar with Zhang Fu; Liu Sheng couldn't remember some small place names and specific areas.He hurriedly dug out a map, looking for the place mentioned in Zhang Fujun's order.

The place marked Zhiling County was found immediately, it was very conspicuous, it was at the confluence of four rivers.

The north-south flow is the Taiping River. As Zhang Fu said, first cross the river to the east of the Taiping River, and then go directly to Zhiling County by land;

Liu Sheng had to show a look of admiration.

Zhang Fu said again: "After the Marquis of Anyuan took Zhiling Village, he first stationed troops for several days to control the northern section of the Taiping River; River (the river north of today's Haiphong City) came to meet the artillery baggage and headed for the mouth of the sea."

Liu Sheng clasped his fists and bowed, "The last general has orders!"

Chapter 737 A Happy Enemy General

From Langshanwei to Beijiangfu, the post road is less than two hundred miles.The march of Zhang Fu's army was unstoppable; the weather was good these days, and there was only one rain on the road, and the army maintained a marching speed of more than forty miles every day.It is estimated that within four to five days, the army will approach Beijiang City.

The right deputy general of Zhengyi, Heyang Hou Yin Desheng, led the army under Zhang Fu this time; but he really hated Zhang Fu, the coach, and his old department, Huang Zhong.

Back then, Yin Desheng was still a young child, admiring those heroes who have been chanted in ancient and modern times, and his blood would boil with enthusiasm when he sang the song "The place where the crown is leaning on the railing with anger"; he was always ready to serve the court and make contributions.But Yin Desheng was poured cold water on the battlefield for the first time, teaching him to gradually recognize the reality.

He first followed Huang Zhong and was ambushed by the Annan Army at Qinzhan, and then fought bloody in Duobang City.I'm afraid Yin Desheng will never forget the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood piled up under the city wall for the rest of his life.And all of this is just for the military exploits of those above.

At that time, Zhang Fu and Huang Zhong ordered the soldiers to form a team of hundreds of households, to go forward and continue to climb the ladder and build soil, and go up to die!Yin Desheng is a hereditary [-]-family member, and there are more than [-] living brothers under him. After one day, there are only a dozen people left; he is still lucky, and there are only one or two members left in some hundred-household teams.

Now Yin Desheng came to An Nanguo again.When he revisited his hometown, he seemed to see the enemy army above his head again, densely packed arrows, rolling logs, and boiling dung in the air; corpses piled up below, and the back road blocked by the law enforcement team and his own people.People were crying and roaring in despair on the ladder, and their voices seemed to be in their ears, which made people feel terrified.

"Marquis of Heyang?" Zhang Fu's voice woke Yin Desheng from his distraction.

Yin Desheng, who was sitting on horseback, turned his head according to the sound, and saw the people and horses like a dragon among the flat rice fields, and the firecrackers and spears were densely packed, like a forest that had lost its leaves.Not far away, Zhang Fuzheng looked back at him.

"Marshal." Yin Desheng cupped his fists and said, but there was no fluctuation in his words.

Zhang Fu said: "Is the Marquis of Heyang dissatisfied with the use of troops by this commander?"

Did you see it?However, Yin Desheng didn't have much dissatisfaction with Zhang Fu's deployment this time, he just had a problem with Zhang Fu.

Yin Desheng said: "If the commander-in-chief has a military order, he will definitely obey it."

Zhang Fu nodded, and asked again: "I heard that the Marquis of Heyang was also in the army during the campaign against Annan during the Yongle period?"

Yin Desheng replied: "It is true that the last general once fought in Duobang City."

"Duobang City?" Zhang Fu was surprised immediately, "That siege was fought by my subordinates, and the troops led by the Holy Master (Zhu Gaoxu) did not participate in the attack on Duobang City. Aren't you a general from the Yunnan Garrison? "

Yin Desheng said: "The last general belongs to the Yunnan guard. At first, General Huang Zhong was ordered to escort Chen Tianping, and he transferred troops from the Yunnan guard, so the last general was on the list of conscripts; after we were ambushed near Qinzhan, Huang Zhong's troops kept going They were not disbanded. Later, in the Annan campaign, Huang Zhongbu was led by the commander-in-chief (Zhang Fu), and the last general served in the commander-in-chief's East Route Army."
