At the same time that An Bangyan took almost the nobles, local officials and troops in the entire Muoge city to evacuate Dafang and move north, Luo Ganxiang led his own soldiers to wear green seedlings and Mo's Wei's wolf soldiers from Guangxi to conquer the Shuixi Yi barracks in Jinjichang.

The 3,000 Yi soldiers stationed in Jinjichang did not receive the order to evacuate Dafang, on the contrary, under the leadership of the Tusi head of Jinjichang, in order to defend the royal city of the Yi people, they resisted desperately, even if their leaders were hacked to death by the wolf soldiers who rushed into the village not long after the battle, still no one turned around and fled.

Behind the Golden Rooster Farm is Dafang, that is, the royal city of the Shuixi Yi people, and they have no way to retreat.

But what they didn't know was that the elites of the Shuixian clan, whom they had been bent on defending, had withdrawn.

And because they did not retreat from the battle to the death, thousands of Yi people who had lived in the mountain valley of Jinjichang for generations were also slaughtered by the red-eyed soldiers who wore green seedlings and Guangxi wolf soldiers.

At noon on 23 June, Zhu Xieyuan, Xu Chengming, and others stationed in Huangnitang received Luo Ganxiang's battle report, and when they learned that they had taken Jinjichang, Zhu Xieyuan immediately ordered the whole army to march westward.

As soon as Zhu Xieyuan and the others arrived at Jinjiyi, Luo Ganxiang led Mo Keji and Wei Ang to meet them, and as soon as they met, Luo Ganxiang said: "Lord of the Qi Ministry!" The lowly rank has just received the news from the sentinel, and Dafang took people to the city, and it was also dark above the Muoge Mountain City, where the Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion of the Shuixian Clan was located! The sentinel climbed up, but he had reached the bottom of the city without seeing any guards!

"The sentry reported that one of them may have gone to the empty city! An Bangyan is afraid that he has already escaped! ”

Zhu Xieyuan was taken aback when he heard this, and the situation he was most worried about was that An Bangyan led the Shuixi army to be broken into pieces and fled without a trace, and when he heard the news, he was suddenly a little stunned.

The purpose of his repeated attacks on all sides is to surround and block Xuan Chongming An Bangyan, and then personally lead the main force to come and annihilate them all.

Now that Yu Chongming is dead, only An Bangyan is left, if he is allowed to escape like this, it will not be a failure, repeating the mistakes of Wang Sanshan back then.

Although he has already mobilized the army to repair the post road, and logistics and transportation are not a problem, but if he personally leads the army deep into Shuixi, if it is protracted and futile, no matter how much money and food he has, he can't afford to spend it?

Thinking of this, Zhu Xieyuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know from the sentry detectives, where did An Bangyan and the others flee?" ”

Luo Ganxiang knew that this issue was important, so he immediately said: "The sentinel sent by the lowly official went south to bypass Dafang City more than ten miles away, and did not see a single soldier.

"In the opinion of humble duty, An Bangyan and his Muorg rebels are afraid that they have fled north!"

When Zhu Xieyuan heard this, he pondered.

At this time, Xu Chengming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, said: "Lord of the Ministry! If An Bangyan escaped the Liuchong River to the south and fled to the Zhijin Cave, then we are afraid that we will have to go through a lot of trouble!

But if he fled to the north with his men and horses, and fled to the area of Datunchang and the Chishui River, then he would have killed himself! Can't escape! ”

Seeing that Guizhou Chief Military Officer Xu Chengming swore this, Zhu Xieyuan immediately asked: "How can General Xu say this?!" ”

"Lord of the Ministry, north of Chishuiwei, there is a garrison led by Deng Xi, the deputy chief soldier of Sichuan, although the strength is limited, but there is no problem in holding on to Lin Zhou for ten days and a half!

"And to the east of Chishuiwei Datunchang, there is an army of 20,000 people who are expected to serve as warriors, and they are also an iron wall!

"As for the west, from Zhenxiong to Bijie, Hou Liangzhu, the chief soldier of Sichuan, and Lin Zhaoding, the chief soldier of Yunnan, led more than 10,000 troops, which have been in business for a long time, and they may be insufficient to advance with their troops, but if they divide their troops and strictly guard against death, I am afraid that An Bangyan will also be difficult to break through!

"What's more, my army is only more than 100 miles away from Bijie, light and fast, two days away, as long as Bijie is a moment, the adults are generous, and the whole army is besieged on all sides, and at that time, it is expected that he An Bangyan will be difficult to fly with wings!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xieyuan pondered for a moment, nodded emphatically, and then said: "Luo Ganxiang, you lead the Miao soldiers of the headquarters and the wolf soldiers of Mo's and Wei's to be generous tonight!" Send more scouts to Bijie as soon as possible!

"If the festival is not down, the siege can be done! If Bijie has been lowered, order Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding to leave a partial division to guard Bijie, and rate the main force north to Chishui! ”

After saying this, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Xu Chengming and Liu Zhaoji, and said: "General Xu quickly sent people to the direction of Hongtu River overnight, and sent more messengers to contact Wu Zhiwang, so that he didn't have to come to Dafang again, but he could go straight to Datunchang!"

"As for the deputy commander of Tiance Wei Liu, you will lead the Tiance Wei soldiers to make a hard trip, and they will be accompanied by An Long to Muoge Mountain City!

"If the Anbangyan bandit army has withdrawn, occupy Muog on the spot, and if the Anbangyan bandit army resists, then set up camp on the spot and report back quickly!"

The generals knew that the opportunity to make contributions was in front of them, and they had fought hard for many years for this day, and at this time, after listening to Zhu Xieyuan's assignment, they all hugged their fists and promised to take orders loudly.

Before the night came, Luo Ganxiang led his troops to wear green seedlings and Guangxi wolf soldiers and settled in Dafang.

Around the time of the child, Liu Zhaoji also sent people to report that the Tiance guards had already landed in the mountain city of Muoge, and they did not encounter any resistance on the way, and the mountain city was indeed empty!

After confirming these news, Zhu Xieyuan felt relieved and disappointed at the same time.

It has been a year since he was reinstated, and although he had just beheaded Yu Chongming not long ago, An Bangyan would not die, and Shuixi would not be peaceful.

Although Zhu Xieyuan knew that Pingshui West was in a hurry, and the emperor had never urged him, since he took office, he had spent millions of dollars and had not completed the whole work, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in Beijing, has been looking forward to the good news from the southwest for a long time!

He moved his army to widen the post road, and then came with a large army with cannons, with the aim of wanting to annihilate the army of An Bangyan, which was surrounded and compressed here on all sides, in one battle, near Dafang or in the mountain city of Muog.

Now that wish has been frustrated.

But fortunately, as Xu Chengming, the general soldier of Guizhou, said, if An Bangyan fled to the north, then his demise would only be postponed for a while.

Yongning Xuanfu Si has changed the land and returned to the stream, even if An Bangyan takes advantage of the emptiness of the official and military forces in the Chishuiwei area, breaks through Lin Zhou, and enters the jurisdiction of the former Yongning Xuanfu Si's luxurious family, the Yi Miao natives there will not be his help.

It may even be that because he slaughtered the power of the luxury family in Dafang, he incurred the revenge of the Yi soldiers of the luxury family who remained in the Xuanfu Division of Yongning.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xieyuan's mood calmed down a lot.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xieyuan, surrounded by Xu Chengming, Zhao Guoxi and others, led the rear team all the way to Dafang and boarded the Muorg Mountain City.

In the front yard lobby of the Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion of the Shuixian Clan, that is, the front yard hall of An Bangyan's Luodian Palace, Zhu Xieyuan once again convened the generals under his command to discuss the matter.

At this time, he had received the news that Luo Ganxiang's sentry had sent back from Bijie on a post road.

Therefore, all the generals have arrived, and Zhu Xieyuan said directly: "Now that Bijie has been decided, except for Yang Mingkai, the general of the Sichuan army, who led the troops to stay, the rest of the army has gone north to pursue the Bijie deserters led by An Alun and Tushuai Aqi!"

"The reason why An Bangyan fled north is also related to the fact that An Alun led the remnants of Bijie to retreat to the direction of Chishui!

"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the generals are this shareholder wind!

"And the treasury of Muoge Mountain City has almost been relocated by An Bangyan, and the speed of its withdrawal to the north will inevitably be like an old ox breaking a car! This is the time for you to make a contribution!

"The headquarters hereby made a statement, this time to the north pursuit, the soldiers of the various departments have been seized, in addition to the grain, gold, silver, women and other property belong to the soldiers of the headquarters! The main department does not take a penny!

"All ministries can behead An Bangyan's head to dedicate, and the headquarters is His Majesty the Emperor of the Shangshu, please be crowned the official of the world!"

As soon as Zhu Xieyuan's words came out, all the generals were not calm.

An Bangyan has emptied almost the entire Muog, and the gold and silver property he brought with him will inevitably be no less, and the seizure is completely his own, which is enough to stimulate the bloody morale of all departments.

And Zhu Xieyuan said that those who can kill An Bangyan asked for the title of knight, which made Xu Chengming, Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, Wei Ang and others shine.

Captured, for a while, and knighthood is a lifetime or even a lifetime!

"Lord of the Ministry, please be a pioneer!"

All of a sudden, Xu Chengming, Luo Ganxiang and others got up and clenched their fists and spoke, seeking to be pioneers.

"Take Luo Gan's elephant department and the wolf soldiers as the vanguard! Xu Chengming's department was in the center, and Liu Zhaoji escorted the cannon and followed the headquarters to move forward! ”

Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji and Wei Ang have always been pioneers, and when they heard this, their hearts were very excited, and it was hard to say whether they could kill An Bangyan, but whoever was the pioneer would have the opportunity to seize it first.

This may be more tempting than knighthood for the long-impoverished green seedling soldiers and Guangxi wolf soldiers.

After arranging the affairs of the pursuit, Zhu Xieyuan asked Shi Yongan, the Guizhou envoy who had rushed to Guizhou after hearing the news, to stay with An Long to stay in Muog, and then ordered the army to replenish dry food and drinking water and set off as soon as possible.

The order was handed down, and Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, and Wei Ang, each left the wounded soldiers in the camp to take care of the looted property obtained before, and before noon, they led the army north.

Xu Chengming and Zhao Guoxi led the Guizhou army, but they also left all the carriages and baggage, only brought weapons and dry food, followed the pace of the wolf soldiers, and rushed all the way north.
