The 30,000 Langshan army, like a long snake, accompanied by tens of thousands of people, rushed through the checkpoint and entered Pingxiang County.

And the Ming army camps in various places, the generals who should have been strictly guarded, at this moment, are silent.

I could only watch the procession meandering forward from afar.

And these people, where is just a march, but more like moving, countless carriages and horses, materials and gunpowder covered with felt cloth, and artillery pulled by horses, every Lang Son officer and soldier carried a marching quilt on their backs, with a kettle and gunpowder bag hanging from their waists, with a long knife, a bag of dry food tied to their legs, and a fire gun behind their backs, they were obviously also on guard, the long knives in their hands did not leave their bodies, and there were cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion on both sides to observe on both wings, and the rear and front teams had special combat personnel, and the guns did not leave their bodies, loaded with gunpowder, in case of emergency, can immediately counterattack, while giving the Chinese army enough time to respond.

A steady stream of carriages and horses, transported by specialized people, followed closely by the army, pushing carts of grain and various supplies, slowly wriggling, crushing this official road, one by one.

When it was time to eat, an order was given, and then everyone sat down cross-legged on the spot and took out dry food, which was the kind of sun-dried fried rice, or boiled and dried dried meat, and a kind of dry cake, which was harder than a stone, and needed to be soaked in water before it could be swallowed. This kind of marching ration is difficult to swallow in terms of taste and nutrition, and the only advantage is that it is easy to preserve, not perishable, and can be eaten even for ten days and half a month. It is also easier to carry, as long as you soak the water in the kettle and eat it, it will not be a problem.

Military rations. It has been manufactured and supplied in batches by the Hao family's workshop. In order to meet the needs of the army. If you let the army take responsibility yourself, you don't know how much trouble it will have.

Relying on this army, what they are best at is to endure hardships and stand hard work. Usually practiced, what kind of hardship has not been suffered, their endurance has always been extraordinary.

Therefore, with just one order, everyone sat on the ground in a small team, took out the dry food in their bags, someone was responsible for fetching water, and then set up a bonfire on the spot. The latte basin boiled hot water, everyone first filled their own kettle, then took their own lunch box and put it in hot water, soaked it in dry food, and then half a column of incense time, everyone filled their stomachs, took a short rest, and then set off.

The most important thing for the Lang Son Army is the rules, in the words of a scholar. It's a ceremony. The so-called etiquette means that all qiē comes according to the rules, there are rules for eating, and there are rules for practice. There are rules for sleeping, even if it is a march, it is also by the Tiance Mansion according to some old habits and experiences in the past. A set of special rules has been formulated and promulgated for implementation. Once implemented, these things. It is imprinted into everyone's bones and has become a part of their lives.

The march continued, and under the noses of the imperial horses, although it was not majestic, it was still full of spirit.

Naturally, the officers and soldiers in the vicinity did not dare to slack off, and many rangers went back and forth in the vicinity, but when they were only close to a mile away, they had to circle in place, and they were also afraid of causing trouble, so they were only responsible for monitoring, and they never dared to breed conflicts.

Looking at these ridiculous rangers, Hao Fenglou, who was riding on a tall horse, couldn't help but laugh.

Now it has penetrated dozens of miles into Guangxi, and in a few days, the army can arrive in Guilin, and this Guangxi is thousands of miles away from Jinling, and the people here can't be the masters, so they have to ask Pegasus to ask the court to deal with it, and wait until they go back and forth from the court, after Zhu Gaosui and the ministers of the court consulted, I am afraid that there will be no reply in ten days and half a month.

And by that time, he had already gained a foothold in Guilin and even the whole of Guangxi, and it was easy to ask God to send God, so Zhu Gaosui took an empty King Gui out in order to appease the Hao family, and now what he has to do is to get the benefits of reality.

The Hao family has been operating in Guangxi for many years, here is close to Langshan, Shinong industry and commerce, are closely related to the Hao family, and have become a community of interests, as long as they arrive in Guilin, and have a strong mass base, then Zhu Gaosui, now at this juncture, is it a fait accompli caused by himself, or is he a painful experience, and he is determined to turn his back?

Most likely, they will still swallow their anger.

Because before this, Hao Fenglou had made sufficient preparations, on the one hand, he sent many envoys to contact the vassal kings of the towns, the court could not be unaware, the Hao family and the vassal kings contacted, although it was only a feint, but before Zhu Gaosui did not completely cut the domain, he would never dare to act rashly, once he turned against the Hao family, between the court and Langshan, there would definitely be a protracted fierce battle, at this time, if the vassal kings took the opportunity to move troops under the banner of avenging the first emperor, Zhu Gaosui would be really troublesome.

Even within the imperial court, Zhu Gaosui has not completely inserted his cronies into the most important positions, and at the same time eliminated some dissidents who are not enough to win trust, Zhu Gaosui obviously needs time.

And this time is when the Hao family earns a little interest first.

Hao Fenglou's purpose is very simple, take Guilin, occupy it, operate it, through Guilin Mansion, completely take down the entire territory of Guangxi, and completely squeeze Mu Sheng's men and horses out of Guangxi, originally the military horses of the imperial court were arranged in the line from Guangxi to Langshan, and now there is an extra nail behind it, how dare they still focus on Pingxiang County as now, they must shrink up, with Jining as the base, to carry out the layout, in this way, Guilin Mansion, and even half of Guangxi, have become a buffer zone in Langshan, not only that, Guangxi is different from Jiaozhi and Dingnan, although there are also mixed Turks and Hans, but the Han people account for the vast majority, which gives the Hao family a sufficient population, the future war with the imperial court, a certain Cheng dù, is a duel of manpower and financial resources, millions of Han people in Guangxi, the increase in manpower for the Hao family, must not be underestimated, even the natives here, and the Siamese people in Dingnan who have not yet assimilated are different, the vast majority of them, although they retain some of their own characteristics, but most of them have been sinicized, more loyal to the Han regime.

And now!

"Lao Tzu is finally here, and I don't plan to leave when I come!" Hao Fenglou thought shamelessly, sandwiched in the team, following the winding team, slowly advancing.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The army passed through the county seat of Pingxiang, but did not enter the city, but went around the city.

It's just that at this time, Mu Sheng, who reacted, had to take measures, on the one hand, he had already sent an urgent report to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would deal with it immediately.

And he himself, such a big thing, but he really can't do it, whether it is war or peace, after all, it is not for him to decide, and the Hao family's 'reason' is also grandiose, and he can't find any flaws.

On the other hand, he took a group of officers and soldiers out of the city.

Going out of the city is naturally to negotiate and make one last effort, hoping that Hao Fenglou can rein in the precipice, and it is also his last warning.

As soon as Mu Sheng left the city, the men and horses of the reconnaissance battalion immediately reported to Hao Fenglou, and Hao Fenglou with a team of guards also greeted him.

Old friends reunited, the two sides are only a few feet apart, the two of their respective guards are sharpening knives, one by one looks nervous, drawing swords and crossbows, for fear of a little mistake, but the two protagonists, but they are all smiling, no matter what, everyone's friendship is still there, back then, the two marched into Annan together, it can be regarded as sympathy, Mu Sheng has also had a lot of help to Hao Fenglou, and Hao Fenglou is also respectful to Mu Sheng.

"His Royal Highness the King of Dingnan, don't come unharmed after a long time?"

Hao Fenglou owed a debt on the horse, and said, "It's okay, but I don't know General Mu, okay?" ”

Mu Sheng sighed, back then, when everyone met, they were roughly on the front line of Guangxi, and now the mountain is still this mountain, and the water is still this water, but I never thought that although things are, people are no longer human.

He said slowly: "It's okay." I don't know if Ling Zun is good? The old man has been stationed in Nanning, entangled in official business, although it is only hundreds of miles away from Langshan, but he has not been able to visit, it is a pity. ”

Hao Fenglou said: "My father is in good health, but General Mu has a heart. ”

Mu Sheng frowned, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Can the Hao family withdraw from the army?" When he said these words suddenly, he regretted it a little, because people had been planning for a long time, how could they withdraw from the army at will. To say such things is really inconsistent with who you are.

Hao Fenglou smiled, with respect on his face, but he said categorically: "The Hao family has no way to retreat, sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

That's right, Hao Fenglou knows his current situation very well, they have no way to retreat, although they are sailing against the current, but there is an abyss behind them, even if he wants to retreat, are others willing to let them retreat bravely? Now, whether it is Mu Sheng or Hao Fenglou, it is actually impossible to be autonomous, everyone is like a boat in the rolling river, the direction is no longer up to them, they can only rely on the impact of this current, drifting, no one can be swayed.
