Quang Ninh. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was originally the hometown of the former dynasty of the Yue Kingdom, bordering Guangxi Province of the Ming Dynasty, facing the sea in the east, and Tokyo of the Yue Kingdom in the south.

The edict conveyed by Tokyo has been transmitted here quickly, and the local governor of Quang Ninh Ninh Nguyen Li had no choice but to obey Tokyo's edict, while dispatching the local defenders into Tokyo, and on the other hand, he began to implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, burning the grain and grass in the granary that night, and ordering the messengers to pull out the rice seedlings planted in the ridges, at the same time, the whole Quang Ninh has been in chaos.

When the squires and the people saw that the imperial court transferred the army and burned down the granary, coupled with the rumors that the Ming army was about to cover up, for a while, the people were panicked, and countless people fled south, and thieves from all over the country were also everywhere, taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Of course, Ruan Li also knew that Quang Ninh could not hold it, so he retreated to the area of Zhancheng with a team of military horses, and soon, a large number of Ming troops finally began to appear, they killed all the way to Quang Ninh, like a bamboo, in fact, the entire Quang Ninh did not resist the military horses of the Ming army, and the Great Viet State adopted the strategy of strong cadres and weak branches, and all the military horses were deployed to Tokyo, as for Tokyo, they could only choose to give up.

If the Ming army really has 100,000 troops entering, it is better to use the city defense of Tokyo City to confront the Ming army in Tokyo.

The gateway to Quang Ninh was wide open, and a Ming army of six or seven thousand men took it almost without resistance, and then the army continued to move south, besieging and occupying the city.

Ruan Li, who occupied the city, was startled at this time, but fortunately, there were still more than 1,000 people in the city, but he could barely hold on, and what made him feel even more strange was that the Ming army did not attack the city.

The Ming army outside the city did not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, but sent out in all directions to capture the towns along the way.

A small market town not far from the city has become the camp of the Ming army, Liu Chengfeng's line is located here, the atmosphere of the camp does not seem to be tense, but the movement of the army is very frequent, Liu Chengfeng sits in the camp of the middle army, and is reading a military newspaper.

The Da Yue people almost concentrated all their forces, focusing on the defense of Tokyo, and the towns near the Yue country were almost inhabited, and a large number of Yue people fled, abandoning the fields, and the few remaining populations and military horses were also concentrated in the city, ready to hold on.

Liu Chengfeng seemed to have nothing, the Ming army was originally like a bamboo, but now it can't help but be depressed, there is nothing, not even a single ploughing ox left, the supply of thousands of troops is always stable, but this battle is too strong to make people feel that there is nowhere to go.

However, going deep into the territory of the Yue country, rampaging hundreds of miles, thousands of troops, forcing the entire Yue country to clear the wall, it can also be called a brilliant war, but the war has been fought so far, many people think that it is no longer necessary, so several thousands of households have asked to withdraw the army.

The reason for the withdrawal was very simple, if the Vietnamese army retreated into the city, if the siege losses were too great, and the purpose of the war had been achieved, it was better to return to the division and recapture the two counties of Wenshan and Hefu, and the purpose of the war would be achieved. Otherwise, when the Vietnamese people come back, the armies from all walks of life will gather in the north of the Yue country, even if they want to leave, they are afraid that it will be too late.

Liu Chengfeng sat in the big tent, listening to everyone's opinions motionlessly, with a smile on his face.

Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "There is one more thing that has not been done, the Vietnamese army will not perceive our intentions so quickly, and they will not be able to figure out our strength for the time being, they will not act rashly, do you know what Ben Hou killed all the way to this Zhancheng?" ”

Liu Chengfeng asked this question, which confused the thousands of households in the tent.

Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Guangning and Champa are the most productive places of the Yue people, and the Yue people have thirty percent of the grain produced here, and if they take this place, the Yue people will definitely have a shortage of grain and grass, and there will be a famine......

Liu Chengfeng's smile was a little cruel, and he continued: "Although the Annan people are now strong and clear, and the losses are very heavy, we still have one more thing to do to completely contain the Annan people. ”

"I don't know if there is anything else that Master Hou has to do?" At this time, even Li Dongdong was a little confused.

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "Sprinkle salt!" ”

Sprinkle salt...... Liu Chengfeng's method is simply vicious, the so-called salt sprinkling is to sprinkle a large amount of sea salt into the river water of the Yue people to irrigate the fertile land, after being soaked in salt water, a large number of fertile land will be barren and become barren land.

If the Yue State is unable to cultivate grain in Champong, Quang Ninh, and other places within ten years, it will inevitably lead to a reduction in production and a food shortage in the entire country, and an Annan country that cannot even fill its stomach will have no threat to Liu Chengfeng.

This plan was proposed, so that everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, that Quang Ninh is indeed a heavy salt production area, but how to irrigate is a trouble, Liu Chengfeng has already formulated a plan, on the one hand, to arrest the Yue people everywhere, escort them to dig a deep canal along the coast, which is equivalent to connecting the sea water into the river and pouring it into the river continuously.

On the other hand, a cart of sea salt was put into the lake, which was not far from the salt-producing area, and the Ming army went out to catch thousands of strong men and began to get busy, Liu Chengfeng did not expect to be able to salinize all these fertile fields, but just tried to irrigate as much as possible.

Fortunately, many of the military households brought in were already able to fight on horseback, and they could be used as laborers when they got off their horses. So it's also very easy to do, one command after another is passed out, and it can be executed quickly.

And the generals under this account are also looking at each other, they have seen the war, such a way to fight is unheard of, making people speechless, but Liu Chengfeng's poisonous plan is indeed poisonous enough, this is a desperate strategy, I am afraid that within a year, the Yue people will have a food shortage, once the food shortage, it is bound to be in flames, and the south of the country and the Yue people are feuding, there is no need to make a move, the strength of the Yue people will plummet.

Of course, the abnormal behavior of the Ming army attracted Ruan Li's attention, Ruan Li's face changed when she heard the news, she originally thought that Jianbi Qingye could deal with the Ming army, but the Ming army was more thorough than Da Yue, this was intended to make the Yue people Jianbi Qingye for ten or twenty years.

He hurriedly sent a few dead soldiers to deliver the news to Tokyo, and on the Tokyo side, seeing that the Ming army did not make much movement, he thought that the strong wall had an effect, and the heart of Yue Wang Lihui naturally relaxed, but when the report came, he was stunned at first, and then he was furious.

Fooled...... From various indications, the number of the Ming army is no more than 20,000, it should not be the country to attack, and the Yue people themselves have built a wall and cleared the wilderness, burned an unknown amount of grain, led to how many displaced people, refugees, and killed countless cattle, but now they find that everything they do is in vain, the Ming army actually poured sea water, to completely barren the important grain production areas of the Yue country.

Li Hui was furious, and this anger was naturally vented on the general Zheng Zhen, forgetting that he had made a wrong judgment, thinking that the Ming army was pouring the country to attack, and someone naturally had to carry this black cauldron.

Zheng Zhen's strategy was proposed by Zheng Zhen, and this general direction was also implemented by Zheng Zhen, and Zheng Zhen implemented it so thoroughly that the Ming army had a chance to take advantage of it, of course, Zheng Zhen had to be cleaned up first, so Li Hui issued an edict overnight to arrest Zheng Zhen, on the other hand, it was to mobilize military horses to prepare to encircle and suppress the Ming army.

It's just that there are not many soldiers and horses in the north of the country, so as a last resort, Li Hui had no choice but to decide to transfer 30,000 troops from the border of the southern country to northern Vietnam.

This is really a bit of a last resort, and the northern part of Vietnam naturally has to strictly guard against defending Tokyo, which is related to the country's country, and of course we must not be negligent, so that it is absolutely impossible for the Vietnamese army in Tokyo to attack. And the destruction of the fields by the Ming army in the area of Zhancheng and Quang Ninh, which is also something that Li Hui will never allow, and if this continues, the entire Guangning and Zhan will become barren land, and it will not be fun to have a famine at that time.

In this case, the only way to do this is to send the military horses stationed near Nanzhang Kingdom back to the division.

Just when Li Hui was uneasy, one bad news after another followed, and it was only a month's work, which almost made him vomit blood and died.

When the elite of the border towns of the Vietnamese army rushed to Zhancheng, the Ming army had already retreated, and the Hui division captured Wenshan, Ho Suke, and the five counties of Lang Son, Cao Ping, Bac Giang, Ha Long, and Jinpu in northern Vietnam, making a defensive posture. When the Vietnamese army was planning to recover the counties in northern Vietnam, another bad news came out, and the southern state seemed to have been prepared, seeing that the Vietnamese army's border towns and horses were mobilized, they immediately rose up from the country, gathered more than 40,000 troops, and swept all over western Vietnam, although the Vietnamese army stationed 20,000 troops and horses there, but most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the people of Nanzhang came with hatred, and the momentum was violent, and the Vietnamese army was repeatedly defeated and occupied more than a dozen county towns.

In the past, the Yue people invaded Nanzhang, slaughtered and plundered everywhere, and the Nanzhang people naturally refused to let go of this opportunity, where the Nanzhang people passed, slaughtered everywhere, and slaughtered every city they occupied, the Yue people slaughtered the population of Nanzhang 90,000 in the past, and now the Nanzhang people seem to have a faint momentum of transcendence, and the entire Yue country is already in flames.

There are wandering around the homeless people, the aggressiveness of the southern ruling country, not to mention this Ming army that came from nowhere, no matter which one is fatal to the Yue country, where there is a flash of loss, there is a danger of destroying the country.

And at this time, Mo Zhengyong, the prime minister of the Yue country, also found that things will inevitably worsen if they go on like this, the Yue people can not fight on both sides, in comparison, the threat of the south is more direct, since the Ming army has returned to the defense, then it should immediately send an envoy to the Ming army camp to sue for peace, free up his hands to deal with the invasion of the south of the country, at the same time, the resettlement of displaced people has also become a top priority, if this time and the Ming Dynasty again, the country of Yue will really be over.
