Chapter 446: Ploughing the Court and Sweeping the Cave

***

In order to show his trust in Shuixi Toast, Cui Feng put An Ruyi back.

At this time, An Rupan had been in trouble for a long time, and He Tengjiao had no choice but to comfort him and let him take care of his body before entering the city to accept the reward of King Qin.

As soon as He Tengjiao returned to the city, An Rupan hurriedly sent An Jia Zexi Mu Kui to return to Shuixi to create a "rebellion", preparing to withdraw the army back to the old nest tomorrow on the grounds that there was a rebellion in Shuixi, and wait for the Qin army to send troops to Yunnan, and then make plans.

An Ruyi returned to the Shuixi military camp and said to An Rupan: "Daddy, I saw something in the city, Chen Ruizheng, the former commander of Guizhou, was scolded out of the capital by that Ma Liuliang, and that Tang Yue chased him out to persuade him, Chen Ruizheng seemed to have been greatly insulted, and he didn't listen to Tang Yue's persuasion, so he left angrily."

"Wait, Ruyi, do you know what Ma Liuliang scolded Chen Ruizheng for?" An Rupan asked with a surprised expression.

"I heard the discussion of the Qin soldiers in front of the capital Ya because Cui Feng, the general who conquered the south, said that Chen Ruizheng was familiar with the terrain of the southwest and wanted to promote Chen Ruizheng as the vanguard to attack Yunnan;

That Ma Liuliang disagreed, saying that Guiyang was attacked by him, and Chen Ruizheng was captured by him. Cui Feng wanted to promote a prisoner to replace him as a forward general, but Ma Liuliang was not happy, so he scolded Chen Ruizheng;

I also heard that Ma Liuliang is a close confidant of their king, and this time he has made a great contribution to Guiyang, and Cui Feng can't help him, so he canceled the decision to use Chen Ruizheng as the striker, Chen Ruizheng was scolded by Ma Liuliang out of the capital, I saw with my own eyes that Chen Ruizheng's face was so angry that his face was black. ”

An Rupan heard the news and felt that God was helping him, so he sent people into the city to prepare to lobby Chen Ruizheng.

Chen Ruizheng was about to send someone to contact An Rupan, but he didn't expect An Rupan to send someone to find him first.

So, Chen Ruizheng, who originally planned to "recommend himself for a pillow seat". became reserved;

An Rupan's envoy patiently lobbied for a long time, and promised that after he was attached, his status would only be that of the monarch, and Chen Ruizheng reluctantly agreed to cooperate.

But out of prudence, he asked the messenger for a token so that he would not break his promise in the future.

The messenger could not be the master of this matter, so he hurried out of the city to report to An Rupan.

An Rupan felt that Chen Ruizheng was so cautious, but it was more worthy of trust, so he sent a messenger into the city again and gave Chen Ruizheng a piece of topaz carved into the shape of a torch. It is said that this is one of the orders used by Shuixi Tusi to transfer troops in peacetime, and Chen Ruizheng happily accepted it.

The envoy took the opportunity to make another request, hoping that Chen Ruizheng could cooperate with the Shuixi army and quickly seize Guiyang City.

Chen Ruizheng did not agree. Ren said all the good things that the envoy said, and he only agreed to wait for the main force of the Qin army to go to Yunnan before acting.

The messenger replied to this. Considering that the main force of the Qin army was in the city, Chen Ruizheng might have difficulty moving. An Rupan felt that Chen Ruizheng's caution was justified. Therefore, I believe in Chen Ruizheng even more.

An Rupan got this internal response, and he was very happy in his heart, he planned to plan according to the original plan, and return to Shuixi the next day to "quell the rebellion", and wait for the main force of the Qin army to go to Yunnan.

As a result, that night, there were sudden shouts of killing in Guiyang City. An Rupan had just fallen asleep, and when he heard the big movement in the city, he hurriedly got up to watch, but saw that the fire in the city was soaring. Smoke billowed and loud shouts rang for ten miles, sounding like a rebellion in the city.

The 20,000 soldiers in An Rupan's camp were also alarmed, and they all got up, An Rupan ordered the camp to be on guard, and said to An Rushan on the other: "Send someone to inquire and see what is going on in the city?" Just go. ”

An Rupan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his daughter An Ruyi rushed out with a knife in her hand and said, "Daddy, it's not good, it may be that Chen Ruizheng has been recognized." ”

The daughter's words made An Rupan's heart even more ominous, there was a sudden chaos in the city, except for Chen Ruizheng being discovered, and the Qin army encircled and suppressed it overnight, what else could there be.

Mu Crotch Zexi Mu Kui'an persuaded him: "Jun Chang, it's better for us to take advantage of the chaos in the city and send troops to attack the city, maybe there is still a chance in this way, if Chen Ruizheng is exterminated, he will definitely tell his relationship with Jun Chang." ”

"Wait, wait until we find out what is going on in the city." An Rupan hesitated, suffering from gains and losses in his heart, and became a mess.

Before his people could find out the situation clearly, the west gate suddenly opened, and in the hazy firelight, I saw many people rushing out of the city, wearing the costumes of the Ming army, and there were bursts of gunfire in the city gate, and the "Ming army" continued to fall to the ground at the city gate, and the battle was very fierce from a distance.

There were 2,000 "Ming troops" who rushed out of the city before and after, and it was really the Qin army in black armor that chased and killed behind.

One of the Ming soldiers rushed to the camp of the Shuixi Army, and shouted outside the camp: "Lord Xuanxiang, save us, the matter has been revealed, my family Chen Commander asks the Xuanzhi to send troops to respond quickly, Lord Xuanfeng, save us quickly."

To save, or not to save?

An Rupan is faced with a dilemma, if he doesn't save it, he sacrifices Chen Ruizheng's 2,000 people in vain, and his collusion with Chen Ruizheng will also be exposed.

Saved, he was about to start a war with the Qin army immediately, the strength was similar, and he responded in a hurry, or on flat ground, his 20,000 troops drilled through the mountains and forests, which fought on flat land, and he couldn't even put the formation, and An Rupan really didn't have much chance of winning.

Faced with a dilemma, he had not yet made a decision, and the two thousand "Ming troops" had already rushed towards their camp in a chaotic manner, shouting for help while running, and the sound was like a wave.

"Daddy, the Qin army chased and killed Chen Ruizheng, the matter must have been exposed, Daddy, give the order quickly, we can't sit idly by, but we must not let them enter the camp."

Everything came too suddenly, there is no room for An Rupan to think about it carefully, two thousand soldiers and horses is a lot of strength, since sooner or later he will have to tear his face with the Qin army, he really shouldn't give up these two thousand soldiers and horses.

An Che and other Mu Kui also urged again and again, An Rupan bit it, pulled out the knife and said: "Let Chen Ruizheng retreat to the outside of the camp, pass my order, and meet the enemy immediately." ”

The torches in the Shuixi military camp are bright, and the copper drum is ringing, but the night outside the camp is vast, although the "Ming army" and the Qin army also have torches, but not much, and the distance is very blurry, only to see the Qin army chasing behind constantly swinging knives and slashing, and the "Ming army" in front of them screams constantly, and they are cut to the ground one by one.

An Ruyi cautiously proposed not to let this "Ming army" enter the camp, with a precautionary intention in his heart. However, under the pursuit of the Qin army, this "Ming army" scrambled to crawl through the trench outside, crowded under the gate of the village in the north, and kept shouting to open the gate of the village, and the scene became a mess.

The Shuixi Army in the village is preparing to fight against the Qin army.

Suddenly, the "Ming Army" hugging under the wall of the wall suddenly dispersed, and the Shuixi Army in the wall had not yet figured out what was going on. Rumble! Rumble! Earth-shattering explosions sounded one after another, the wooden gate was blown into the sky, and the Shuixi army inside was killed and injured, screaming again and again;

Before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the scattered "Ming army" rushed up again, rushed into the village, and cut down people when they saw them.

The Qin army that was killed afterwards swarmed in, and the stunned Shuixi Army could not organize a decent resistance at all, and soon collapsed

In this battle, An Rupan and his daughter, as well as An Rushan, An Che and other eight Mu Kui were captured, 20,000 Shuixi troops suffered more than 2,000 casualties, more than 16,000 were captured, and less than 2,000 were able to escape.

The total strength of the entire Shuixi Tusi is about 30,000, and overnight, nearly 20,000 were lost, plus An Rupan and others were captured, for Shuixi, such a blow is undoubtedly fatal.

An Rupan intended to collude with Chen Ruizheng to rebel, and the human and material evidence was there, which could not be denied, and the Qin army was famous for smearing the crusade.

The next day, Cui Feng immediately sent 2,000 troops to the north, joined Song Ping of Xifeng, and escorted An Rupan to Wujiang Pass to force his second son An Kun to surrender.

In addition, six armies of soldiers and horses, each with 1,000 men and horses, led by Chen Ruizheng and other generals who were familiar with the terrain of Shuixi, quickly pounced on the various rivers in Shuixi with the power of great victory, and ploughed the court to sweep the caves.

The 10,000 troops brought by Cui Feng were all carefully selected, most of them were people from southern Jiangnan, Xiangxi and other places.

At present, in addition to the three or four thousand soldiers and horses in the northwest of Chishui, Bijie, and Qixingguan, the remaining soldiers and horses in each Zexi are mainly some old and weak women and children.

Militarily, they have already mastered the absolute advantage, and next, Cui Feng and they have to face how to deal with the Yi people in Shuixi.

There are two or three hundred thousand Yi people in the entire Shuixi, and if they continue to live in the deep mountains and old forests of Shuixi, even if the Great Qin sends officials to govern, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel again after recovering their vitality in the future
