Chapter 456: Each Mind (Three Watches)

Seeing the stout rebel leader looking at the jewelry box in a daze, several rebels behind him wanted to come to check what was in the box, and the rebel leader noticed the actions of the rebels and hurriedly closed the jewelry box, the less people know about this matter, the better.

"Let them go." Then, the stout rebel leader glanced at the private room that Cai Fu entered, quickly made up his mind, waved his hand at the rebels behind him, held the jewelry box and hurriedly left the restaurant with his rebels, and went to report to Li Hai.

After the conversation just now, as well as the domineering momentum that Cai Fu expressed, this rebel leader felt that Cai Fu's origin was not simple, and it seemed that he also had a good personal relationship with Li Hai, otherwise how could he give Li Hai such a generous gift?

Therefore, he chose Mingzhe to protect himself and no longer provoke the pretty woman, although the pretty woman was beautiful and delicious, but the guy who angered Li Hai and ate on his head was gone......

The pretty woman looked at the rebels downstairs a little blankly, and did not react for a while, and then looked at the private room that Cai Fu entered with a puzzled expression, she didn't understand why Cai Fu was not related to her and why he would save her.

After hearing the gurgling sound made by those rebels when they hurriedly went downstairs, Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile, Cai Fu has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is worthy of being a sophisticated and sleek old Jianghu, but he just put on his official prestige, and he frightened those rebels in a few words.

Afterwards, Li Yuntian drank all the hot water in the teacup, led Cai Fu and the others out of the private room, and prepared to set off for the rebel camp, he didn't want to delay too much in Fengmu Town.

"Thank you for your help just now." As soon as she left the room, the pretty woman walked over, bowed her hand at Cai Fu, and respectfully saluted Cai Fu.

"Girl, now that there is chaos outside, there is a Ming army's control area in front, and there is a constant battle with our righteous army, so you might as well postpone going north."

Cai Fu couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian when he heard this, Li Yuntian smiled and returned the salute to the pretty woman, reminded her, and then walked downstairs quickly.

Although Li Yuntian doesn't know what the purpose of the pretty woman going north this time is, judging from the current situation, the pretty woman is not suitable to continue to move forward, the more closely the rebels in front of her, whether she is a spy of the city country or not, she may be entangled by the rebels again, and it will not be easy to get out at that time.

From Li Yuntian's actions, the pretty woman had already seen that Li Yuntian was the leader of the rebels in front of her, and Liu Mei looked at his back with a slight frown, vaguely feeling that Li Yuntian was likely to be an important figure in the rebels.

"Miss, what shall we do?" At this moment, a big man dressed like a man standing next to the pretty woman stepped forward and whispered in her ear.

"Keep up with them." The pretty woman groaned for a moment, then made a decision, her eyes flashed cold, and she chased after her quickly.

"This brother, please wait a minute, I have just arrived here, I am not familiar with the place here, and now that I can't move forward, I hope to start with my brother, and there will be a good response on the way."

At the door of the restaurant, Li Yuntian got on his horse and was just about to leave, when the pretty woman came out of the restaurant, came to him and said with a smile.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, he felt very surprised, he felt that this pretty woman didn't seem to like rebels, but now she took the initiative to follow him in rebel clothes, there was some strange smell in it.

"If the girl has the intention, she is welcome." After a deep groan, Li Yuntian smiled at the pretty woman, and agreed quietly, he wanted to see what the purpose of the pretty woman was.

"Thank you, brother!" The pretty woman's heart suddenly rejoiced, her eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and she arched her hand at Li Yuntian again, and thanked her coquettishly.

Although the pretty woman did a good job of hiding the fluctuations in her mood, this subtle change in her expression still did not escape Li Yuntian's eyes, Li Yuntian keenly caught the flash of light in her eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he could conclude that this pretty woman must have some unknown purpose in approaching him.

On the way to Anliang County, Li Yuntian and the pretty woman walked side by side, chatting while walking.

Perhaps because she lives in the Indochina Peninsula, the pretty woman has a hearty personality, and there is no taboo between men and women who are not kissed, and she talks and laughs with Li Yuntian.

During a conversation with a pretty woman, Li Yuntian learned that her surname was Wu, her name was Wu Qian, and her family ran a medicinal herb business in Hue Province.

According to Wu Qian, her father thought that sooner or later the rebels would capture the areas north of Jiaozhi that were under the control of the Ming army, so he asked Wu Qian and a cousin to go to Taiyuan Mansion to find Wu Qian's cousin, hoping to make arrangements in advance with the help of Wu Qian's cousin in order to seize the local medicinal herb market.

Logically speaking, Wu Qian's statement is not flawed, but Li Yuntian feels that she is not telling the truth, and her name is also fake.

The reason is very simple, Wu Qian looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old, and her words and deeds invisibly reveal a sense of arrogance, which shows that she must be taken care of by her parents at home on weekdays, and her father must know that there is a lot of danger in the north, and he should not let Wu Qian, who is regarded as the pearl of his palm, go to danger.

Of course, Li Yuntian would not think that Wu Qian was coming for him, he went to see Li Li this time is the top secret of the Jiaozhi Ming Army, and the only person who knows about this matter is Lei Ting, and it is impossible for Wu Qian to know about this matter in advance.

In order to probe Wu Qian's details, Li Yuntian seemed to inadvertently ask Wu Qian some knowledge of medicinal materials when he was talking and laughing, and Wu Qian answered them all fluently, without revealing the slightest flaw, and seemed to be prepared:

Since Hue Mansion is thousands of miles away from Sanjiang Mansion, and Taiyuan Mansion is under the control of the Ming army, it is naturally difficult for the rebels to find out her identity for a while.

Besides, if Wu Qian was prepared carefully, even if she went to Taiyuan Mansion and Hue Mansion to investigate, then she could not be sure that what she said was the truth.

When Li Yuntian was testing Wu Qian, Wu Qian also probed Li Yuntian's background side by side, but to her disappointment, Li Yuntian did not leak, and she did not gain anything.

The closer to Anliang County, the more rebels they encountered along the way, and their expressions were stern, which made the atmosphere gradually become dull and depressing.

The rebels have now besieged the county seat of Anliang County, and all kinds of siege equipment have been prepared, just waiting for Li Li's order to launch a fierce offensive against the county seat of Anliang, and the county seat of Anliang can be captured within three days.

Li Li had already written a document to General Dingnan in Anliang County to surrender, telling General SΓΉ that as long as General Dingnan surrendered, he would guarantee that the soldiers and civilians in Anliang County would be unharmed.

It's just that the general Dingnan in the city disappointed Li Li, and imitated Genghis Khan back then, and replied to Li Li with two short sentences: "If you want to fight, I will fight!" ”

Although there are only six words, these six words have fully revealed the determination of the young general Dingnan to fight the rebels to the death, which makes Li Li can't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Among the Ming troops encountered on the battlefield of Jiaozhi, the general Dingnan sent by the imperial court was the most headache for Li Li, he thought that the other party was young and vigorous, and he did not live up to his name, but he never expected that in less than a month, he would have won two big battles in succession, which made him have to be impressed.

When Zhang Fu conquered Annan, he brought the ace firearms unit formed by Emperor Yongle - Shenji Battalion, and defeated the war elephant troops commanded by Li Jichen, the emperor of Annan.

The seemingly brave and invincible war elephants suffered heavy casualties in the face of the continuous fire and heavy artillery fire of the Shenji Battalion, and they turned around and ran backwards in fright, only to disperse the Annam troops who were following behind.

Because the Shenji Battalion belonged to the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, usually stayed by the emperor's side, and was controlled by the most reliable nobles, and the rebellion in Jiaozhi did not arouse enough attention from the court, neither Wang Tong nor Liu Sheng brought the Shenji Battalion.

Now that Li Yuntian came to Jiaozhi, the Ming army immediately used firearms, which had to make Li Li feel worried, he was not afraid of the Shenji Battalion coming, no matter how to say that the Shenji Battalion was only so many people, and Jiaozhi was mountainous, with high trees and dense forests, which was not conducive to the Shenji Battalion fighting.

What worried Li Li was Emperor Xuande's attitude towards quelling the Jiaozhi rebellion, if Emperor Xuande was determined to quell the rebellion, then the rebels would have to live a hard life for a long time.

What is particularly important is that Emperor Xuande, in his anger, is likely to put down the face of the Celestial Empire, and issue an edict to let the neighbors of Jiaozhi occupy the city and Zhenla to assist the Ming army in quelling the rebellion, and the rebels in Jiaozhi will be exposed to the enemy at that time.

Compared with the Ming army that came from afar to quell the rebellion, the soldiers of Champa and Zhenla were adapted to mountain warfare, and they were more or less enmity with the previous Annan, once they got the edict of Emperor Xuande, they would definitely attack the rebels in Jiaozhi with all their might, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, although the rebels now have an absolute advantage in Jiaozhi, not only have they even obtained the city of Jiaozhou, but also besieged the county town of Anliang, where the general Dingnan is located, the rebels are undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the long run, and they cannot be compared with the Ming army in terms of population, technology and economic strength.

It is precisely because of this that Li Li found Chen Wei as a guise to disguise Chen Wei's identity as a descendant of the Chen dynasty of Annan who was feudal by the Ming Dynasty, so that Chen Wei could inherit the Annan Kingdom, and Jiaozhi would also break away from the territory of the Ming Dynasty and continue to become the Shu State of the Ming Dynasty - Annan.

It's a pity that Li Li's wishful thinking failed, and when he sent the envoy to the capital to meet Emperor Xuande and Chen Wei was still on the way to Beiping City, Emperor Xuande, who had learned that Liu Sheng was defeated, had already issued an edict to quell the rebellion, and the envoy he sent and Chen Wei were naturally detained in Daming.

For Li Li, if he wanted to win this war with the Ming Dynasty, he had to fight a protracted war with the Ming Dynasty and "drag the Ming army to death" in Jiaozhi, so that Emperor Xuande and the civil and military ministers of the Ming court retreated.

As for whether Emperor Xuande will issue an edict to let Zhancheng and Zhenla assist in quelling the rebellion, Li Li is not too worried, he knows that the officials up and down the Ming court have no bad face, unless it is a last resort, otherwise Emperor Xuande will definitely not issue an edict to let Zhancheng and Zhenla, who are vassal states, send troops to intervene in the battle of Jiaozhi, after all, this is the internal war of the Ming Dynasty, and if you ask for help from the two vassal states, where is the power of the Ming Dynasty?!^!
