Outside the city of Thanh Hoa Mansion, the Mo camp in the north.

"The Wu army is coming?"

In the handsome tent, the candle flame is dim, and after Mo Jingdian, the king of Qian of the Northern Dynasty, kneels in armor and sits on the table, the curtain table in the tent is simple but exquisite, and it is spotless everywhere.

On the table of the real power of the Northern Dynasty, in addition to the war reports from all walks of life, there are only two volumes of the art of war, which are the "Secret Biography of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Sect" written by the famous general Chen Guojun more than 200 years ago.

The open book is full of annotations, which is in line with Mo Jingdian's experience in several southern expeditions, and even transcends the wisdom of the original book.

Mo Jingdian put down his pen, and faintly heard the sound of the roaring cannon in Guteng County in the distance, he frowned slightly, and did not speak, and several generals who rushed to the tent did not dare to make a sound, only his cronies signaled to the herald to order him to retreat outside the tent and wait.

The Wu army in his mouth is the Ming army.

In the middle of October, Lin Manjue led his troops to shuttle through the mountains and forests near the left of Qinghua to attack everywhere, and the unsuccessful results also attracted Mo Jingdian's attention, but he couldn't be sure who came at that time; Later, Deng Zilong's troops attacked several unlawful attacks along the coast, which convinced Mo Jingdian that this was the second enemy to join the campaign besides the Southern Dynasties.

But only this time, the battle from Guteng County made him confirm that this was indeed the Ming army, but it came in a big way.

King Qian of the Northern Dynasty, who was over fifty years old, changed his slightly comfortable sitting position, his right hand covered his left fist, his fist was clenched, and his cheeks were tightened, he was thinking about a question, why did the Ming army attack at this time, what virtue did the Southern Dynasty have, and how could the Ming army be invited to help in the war?

"It's been twenty-nine years since my brother died of illness."

The generals in the account didn't know why Mo Jingdian mentioned the first emperor Xianzong at this time, at this time it was in a time of crisis, but Mo Jingdian's prestige in the Northern Dynasty was unmatched, and no one dared to interrupt him. ”

"The old man remembers very well that Zheng Jian of the Southern Dynasty was in power at the beginning of that year, and the crown prince of my Northern Dynasty and King Hong competed for the throne, and it was stormy. For three consecutive years, he made two northern expeditions, which I could not stop, and then Nguyen Huang went out of Hue, so that my northern dynasty was unable to attack southward, and then in another eleven years, he made seven northern expeditions, and each time put me in danger. ”

"The Northern Dynasty lost Hue and Thanh Hoa, and lost more than 100,000 soldiers, but I didn't dare to kill myself, because I didn't have the face to see my brother under Jiuquan."

"Your Highness!"

Hearing this, a group of uniformed generals beat their chests and feet, and were stopped by Mo Jingdian raising his hand, and said: "Until four years ago, Zheng Jian also died, and it was my turn to lead the division of the Northern Dynasty to the south, four years, four southern expeditions, they were busy with infighting, Zheng Jian's eldest son ran north, and the second son Zheng Song seized power, which is my confidant." ”

"Ruan Huang fled to the south to recuperate, and now Ruan Tiwei and Thanh Hoa are already turtles in the urn, and they are the closest that our Northern Dynasty has succeeded in the Southern Expedition."

Mo Jingdian's palms, which had begun to show their old appearance, were trying to hold something, he clenched his fists, his eyes were straight, and he almost asked from between his teeth: "At this time, why does Wu Jun come to crusade against me!" ”

"Truce. Lobbyists were sent into Guteng County with heavy gifts, and took advantage of this opportunity to withdraw soldiers and horses from Guteng County to Hexi, asking them what they were going to do and what the insatiable Wu people wanted. ”

This encounter started very confusing for Mo Jingdian, there was no way, Chen Mu's sailors walked faster than the soldiers and horses on land, Ruan Ti had not yet led the defeated army back from Yi'an, and Yu Dayou's offensive had just been introduced to Thang Long, and there were still hundreds of miles away from Thanh Hoa.

There were no war letters or letters, and tens of thousands of men and horses of the Ming army, with strong ships and artillery, entered the front battlefield of the Northern and Southern Dynasties unscrupulously, and this kind of thing was unthinkable in the eyes of Mo Jingdian, the most outstanding commander of the Northern and Southern Dynasties at this stage.

And the overlord style of starting a war as soon as he shows up is even more disgusting.

When the news of Mo Jingdian's request for an armistice reached Guteng County, the battle situation was not clear enough, because the Ming army's offensive against the county camp had not yet fully begun, but the victory of the Ming army was a matter of time, and Chen Mu was also very happy that Mo Jingdian could understand the current situation and stop the war.

"Why did the Ming army come to Annan, after your general went back, he would ask the envoy of the capital of Annan, why did they kill the envoy of the Nanyang Military Mansion of the imperial court?"

The Commander of Annam was the title of the Ming Dynasty to the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and it was also the title and official position of the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty when he had been paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty. After Mo Dengyong's rebellion, he begged to surrender to the imperial court, and as punishment, Annan was reduced to a subordinate state to a dependent territory, and the king became the commander of Annam, and the thirteen provinces were also thirteen divisions.

In fact, it is still included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but this land is actually not controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Mo Dengyong's descendants also called him a minister externally, and he called himself the emperor of Jianyuan internally.

The negotiation was done by the subordinates, the soldiers and horses were stationed in Guteng County, the military affairs were guarded by Deng Zilong along the west side of the river, Chen Mu climbed the watchtower and looked at the river, Mo Jingdian was not idle.

The negotiations were held in Guteng County, the two armies temporarily ceased fighting, and the two sides faced each other with the Chen Bu military formation across the river, and Mo Jingdian was obviously ready to fight if the peace talks failed.

Under Chen Mu's telescope, there were constantly Northern Korean soldiers from the direction of Thanh Hoa Province, bypassing the high mountain to the west of the river, and marching from the narrow road at the foot of the mountain to the riverbank to set up a formation.

Even in the farther direction, the ships from the sea reported that Mo Jingdian's main army besieging Thanh Hoa gradually loosened its mouth in an afternoon and began to move to the northeast, with the intention of retreating by land if the battle failed.

Deng Zilong fiddled with a seven-foot glaive knife in the battle, and the wooden pole alone was about to catch up with his height, and the big knife weighing more than ten pounds was wielded in Deng Zilong's hand, and the small tree with a thick bowl mouth was cut off with a knife, and he really couldn't help but chop, and Chen Mu watched it with relish.

Picking up Deng Zilong's interlude, Chen Mucai walked down the watchtower and asked, "Where is your eyebrow knife, how do you use this?" ”

Deng Zilong saw that Chen Mu was coming, handed the glaive knife to his soldiers, and said to Chen Mu: "Their knife is heavy, it is used by foot soldiers to cut horse legs and elephant trunks, the knife is heavy and heavy, not a horse battle long knife, I inquired, Mo Jingdian has a rushing force under his command, so he uses this." ”

"My eyebrow knife is only nine pounds, and it is already a heavy knife on the horse, they can't get on the horse, if the sergeant wears heavy armor, the charge should be broken, but it is a target for the bird gunner."

Deng Zilong clapped his hands as he said and said, "How handsome, do you still want to fight?" ”

"Look at them." Chen Mu really didn't expect that Deng Zilong was to test the enemy's strength, he thought it was a momentary itch, and said: "Pan Gongji will not be moved when he hears my promise to protect Yi'an and Qinghua for him, he and Zheng Song of Qinghua will definitely have a contradiction, and now he must let Mo Jingdian cease fighting, and he must not let him raise the dragon." ”

"If he doesn't want to, he'll keep fighting."

Chen Mu looked at the camp set up by his banner army along the river, turned his gaze back to Deng Zilong and said, "Further weaken Mo Jingdian's prestige and strength, otherwise it will be difficult for others to take over Shenglong." ”

Deng Zilong looked at the other side and was worried, and said: "Once the war starts again, our flag army will definitely rush across the river, but it is easy to be flanked by the enemy, so send some troops to the other side?" ”

"You and I have gone together, I plan to let General Lin lead his troops to take a boat, and once the battle starts, he will lead his troops to disembark on the other side of the river, so that the offensive and defensive situation will be easy, and we will wait to flank them!" ./14_14088/
