Chapter 373 Annan
"Don't be too tight-lipped. Judging by Qin Liangyu's posture, he won't give up until we are killed."

Pu Mingsheng said grumpily, he didn't seem to be in a very high mood.

In other words, after being surrounded for so long, even though they were not attacked by the opponent, there were still many deaths.

Seeing that the supplies hoarded by one's own side are about to be exhausted, and the other party has no intention of evacuating at all, no one will be in a good mood.Thinking of the long road ahead and not knowing what to do, Pu Mingsheng's mood became even worse.

"Lao Sha, it's time now, so stop hiding it! If Qin Liangyu doesn't leave during the New Year, I'm afraid we really have no way out!"

"I have a road in Cochin. The risk is a little higher, but it is suitable for our current situation." Sha Yuan saw that Pu's reputation was not in high spirits, so he didn't hold back.

"Cochin? What do you mean?"

"I once had some friendship with Zheng Kai, the younger brother of Marshal Zheng Jie of the Houli Zheng family. If we can't stay in Ami Prefecture, we will go to Wangnong Mountain. If Qin Liangyu doesn't give up, we will go to Jiaozhi. No matter how powerful Qin Liangyu is, Is it possible that we can still hit Jiaozhi?"

"Will they accept us?" Pu Mingsheng asked with some concern.

"Why not? Right now they are confronting the Ruan family, and Zheng Bing is eager to expand his strength. Both you and I have thousands of elites. Going to him will definitely increase his strength, unless his head is flooded, he will not accept it." Sha Yuan looked determined.

"Then when are we going?"

"Wait a minute, the people I sent have been away for more than 20 days, and when they come back with news, we can just play by ear!"

"Your people? When did you leave? Why don't I know?"

"Didn't I tell you this?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I want to surprise you." Sha Yuan casually said.

Pu Mingsheng naturally didn't believe what he said, but the current situation is stronger than others. If the road that Sha Yuan said works, then there will be no worries.

Sha Yuan was actually unwilling to tell Pu Mingsheng, because if he fled with great fanfare, he would naturally attract Qin Liangyu's attention, and the other party would definitely not let them escape, and would definitely pursue him closely.At that time, the risk of running away by oneself will also increase, which is not wise.What's more, he himself was not ready to go.

But as the situation worsened little by little, he found that Qin Liangyu, or the court was determined to kill them this time.Then there is no way to stay in Yunnan, because no matter where they flee, Qin Liangyu will definitely catch up with them.In the end, he made up his mind and decided to leave Yunnan, go to Jiaozhi, and join the Zheng family.

The Zheng Jie that Sha Yuan was talking about was the head of the Zheng family who occupied the northern part of Jiaozhi during the Zheng-Ruan dispute, that is, the Zheng family who defeated the Mo family and became the overlord of the north.Speaking of the Zheng-Ruan dispute, we have to talk about the situation in Jiaozhi at this time.

At this time, the nominal lord of the Hou Li Dynasty was Li Shenzong, while Zheng Bing was the Grand Marshal Zong Guozheng, titled Master Qingwang.

Judging from his position and title, this Zheng Yi is not an easy person.That's right, Li Weiqi has always been in a state of being ostracized, a bit like Cao Cao's "holding the emperor to command the princes" back then, or even worse.

Zheng Bing inherited the position of Master Zheng in the third year of the Great Ming Dynasty. As soon as he came to power, he asked the Ruan family to be a minister and pay tribute, but the Ruan family refused.Coupled with some previous quarrels, the conflict between the two parties became irreconcilable.

In the summer of the seventh year of the Great Ming Dynasty, the year Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne, Zheng Bing officially sent troops to the south. The battle lasted for several months, and neither side got any advantage.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Zheng Bing's title was changed again, and he became Generalissimo Zongguozheng Master Qingwang.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, that is, this year, Zheng Bing launched another sea offensive, but was defeated by the Ruan family again.

Logically speaking, the Zheng family controlled an important location in Jiaozhi: the Red River Plain in North Vietnam.This is the essence of Jiaozhi, with abundant population and high food production.

The strength of the Ruan family in the south is far inferior to that of the Zheng family, but they can get in touch with foreigners, especially the Portuguese, which allows them to purchase more advanced European firearms and employ European military experts in the city defense.

Furthermore, due to the narrow terrain of Jiaozhi, it is difficult to move through large corps from north to south.From now on, as long as the Ruan family holds key fortresses, even if the Zheng family's hundreds of thousands of troops move south, they will not be able to break through the defense line.

Therefore, in the past few years, the Zheng family has not found any advantage from the Ruan family. This is why Sha Yuan is sure that if he and Pu Mingsheng lead the army to defect, they will definitely be valued by him.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After more than 20 days of trekking, the men sent by Pu Mingsheng finally came to Shenglong.

"What's your name?" Zheng Kai sat on a grand master's chair carved from rosewood, condescendingly looked down at Sha Kui who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and asked indifferently.

"Return to General, the younger one is named Sha Kui." Sha Kui replied lying on the ground without daring to raise his head.

"I heard from the people below that it was Sha Yi who asked you to come?"

"Yes, General. My master asked me to come here and report something important to the General."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Kai became curious.

He and Sha Yi only met once, so it's really not a good relationship when it comes to friendship.I don't know why he hastily sent someone to find him.

"My master was afraid that the young man would be clumsy, so he specially edited a book and asked the general to read it. After the general reads it, everything will become clear." After finishing speaking, Sha Kui took out an envelope from his pocket and held it over his head.

Zheng Kai ordered his servants to present the letter, tore open the envelope, and opened it to read.

The letter was written in Chinese characters. As a Jiaozhi noble, Zheng Kai could naturally understand the writing of the suzerain country.The content of the letter was not much, but Zheng Kai finished reading it in a moment. He put down the letter and began to think deeply.

In his heart, Sha Yi denounced the dark corruption of the Ming court, and the excessive expropriation of local Han officials in Yunnan. He described himself as a victim who was persecuted to the point of nowhere and had to rise up.He said that he had been heartbroken by Daming, and he admired the great reputation of the Grand Marshal General Guozheng Master Qing Wang, and he was willing to lead thousands of soldiers and more than 1 people under his command with his friends to surrender to Houli and seek refuge with Lord Zheng. Can be accepted by Lord Zheng.

Rao Sha Yi said the hype, Zheng Kai also saw a message from the letter.

Sha Yi rebelled, and most likely failed.

As a last resort, he thought about leading his subordinates to surrender to his own side.

Zheng Kai's first reaction after reading it was to refuse, just find any reason to drive Sha Kui away in front of him.But after thinking about it, his brother had to decide this matter.So he was silent for a while and spoke:

"This matter needs to be reported to the Generalissimo, and he will decide. You wait here first, and I will meet the Generalissimo."

After all, he got up and walked out quickly.

All the way to Zheng Bing's Marshal's Mansion, it is said to be the Marshal's Mansion, but its actual grandeur is no less than that of Li Shenzong's bedroom.

Zheng Kai saw his elder brother after a servant's notification.

"Brother. There is a chieftain in Daming who wants to join us."
