Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Looking north to Pingxiang from Nanguan in Guangxi Zhen, the originally tall and majestic city is already in ruins.

The fire burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished. More than 30,000 people in Pingxiang County were massacred after Annan's army entered the city.

The Li family did not originally intend to kill them all like this, but the resistance in Pingxiang County was too tenacious. The defenders of more than a thousand people, relying on bows, crossbows and long swords, allowed the Annan army of more than 30,000 people to spend half a month here. , which can be regarded as heavy casualties.

In order to relieve the pressure from the army, Ruan Tanwei ordered that the sword should not be sealed for three days and allowed the army to massacre the city.

Ruan Tanwei, as the captain of the Li Dynasty in Annan, was granted the title of Duke of Vietnam and ranked among the three Dukes. This time he led troops to China as a general in the name of restoring the Ming Dynasty, the suzerain country.

But in name only, everyone knows the actual purpose, which is to alleviate the famine that has lasted for three years in Annan, and to go north to Guangxi to plunder.

Otherwise, Qian Ming has been gone for five years, and Ananguo has only come to take revenge now. Is his nervous reaction a bit slow?

Before coming, the leader of the Le Dynasty told Ruan Tanwei Qian that he must plunder a batch before leaving. He must not stay too long. If the Chinese side reacts, he will not be able to eat and walk around!
This matter
Ruan Tanwei sneered, starting from the time when Pingxiang County was burned down, there was no way it could end.

He withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the city that had been burned to a pile of ashes, but turned around and walked towards the tent.

"General, the Chinese side must have received the news. Is it time for us to return to the court?" Staff officer Chen Yuanshu has been following Ruan Tanwei's side.

Ruan Tanwei stopped and turned to look at the former Ming official: "Are you so afraid of Wang Qi?"

"After all, his reputation is so great that he has to be careful," Chen Yuanshu said in a low voice: "My subordinates suggested that we immediately lead the army back to the south, and then write a letter to the Chinese Parliament to express that the massacre of Pingxiang was not ours. If you are interested, please forgive me for a moment or two, and we will personally bind the guilty minister to the north."

Ruan Tanwei ignored Chen Yuanshu's words and walked straight back to the tent. At this moment, his five soldiers were waiting inside the tent.

"The general will pay homage to the general!"

"Forgive me,"

All the etiquette in Annan are copied from Han culture, so there is nothing surprising about it.

Ruan Tanwei sat on a chair, drank a cup of tea, and then turned to look at Chen Yuanshu: "At this point, there is no retreat. From the moment of the massacre of the city three days ago, we will not stop fighting!"

If you don’t massacre the city, you will die without food.

If the city is massacred and the whole army survives, there will be a chance!
All the gains and losses are just that he was not forced to a dead end. Ruan Tanwei knew what situation he was in now, so he looked at Chen Yuanshu with a hint of coldness: "So now, don't mention the issue of whether to surrender or not. Think about how to fight!"

When several generals in the tent heard this, they all whispered to each other and discussed in low voices. It was obvious that they were a little afraid of a protracted war with the Ming army.

After all, it was you, Ruan Tanwei, who ordered the massacre of the city, not us. When China wants to question you, it mainly asks you, what does it have to do with us?
"What?" Ruan Tanwei glanced at everyone: "Do you think Wang Qi will let you go? A city of 30,000 people was slaughtered, and I, the general, go out alone to convict people. Do you think he will accept it?"

"Now, only by uniting as one and fighting back the first army sent by China can we deter the enemy. Only in this way can we have the right to speak and survive! Moreover, China is not stable internally now. The former Ming forces and other anti-king forces The Qi forces are eyeing them. If we can connect with them and work together internally and externally, I don’t believe that Wang Qi is really like a god and can he kill us all in one fell swoop?”

"General, I will obey your orders!"

"Master Chen," Ruan Tanwei looked at Chen Yuanshu: "Didn't some former Ming Dynasty elders contact you last year, wanting our country to send troops to fight against heaven's rebellion? Can you still contact me?" Just send someone to find him."

At this moment, the personal guard ran in from outside the tent, holding a roll of newspaper in his hand: "Sir, the latest news is that China has sent troops!"

"So fast, how many people are there?" Ruan Tanwei was shocked when he heard this and stood up immediately, while Chen Yuanshu on the side was surprised and stepped forward to take the newspaper and looked down.

The news of China's dispatch of troops was found out from the newspapers it published, which was really a bit of a joke.

Not long after, Chen Yuanshu had finished reading the newspaper, and the horror in his eyes was obvious.

"What's the matter?" Ruan Tanwei's voice also became extremely low.

"The newspaper said," Chen Yuanshu's voice was slightly trembling: "The newspaper said that China will send Lu Yu, a high councilor, to personally lead troops, totaling 10,000, to go south to Guangxi, with the destination of Shenglongfu, the target..."

"What?" Ruan Tanwei had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Destroy, destroy the country," Chen Yuanshu's voice became hoarse with meaning.

thump!
When someone in the tent heard this, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, his face turned pale and he could not speak.

For a moment, the tent was filled with panic.

"Quiet!" Ruan Tanwei shouted angrily: "Do you think I'm not as good as that Li Changjie?"

"Subordinates don't dare!" Everyone in the tent was solemn.

Chen Yuanshu, who was kneeling directly on the ground, felt bitter in his heart - you are not Li Changjie, are you still the Wanyan family?
Li Changjie was an eunuch during the Zhao and Song Dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty and the Li Dynasty of Annan. The most famous incident was that he led troops to attack the Song Dynasty. Li Changjie led the navy to invade the borders of the Song Dynasty and successively captured Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Nanning in the Song Dynasty.

Li Changjie's most notable action during the entire war was the massacre. After Yongzhou (now Nanning) was captured, because the prefect Su Yan was unwilling to surrender and committed suicide, "none of the soldiers and civilians in the city surrendered", so Li Changjie "slaughtered more than 58,000 people, including those who died in Qin and Lianzhou" With more than hundreds of thousands of people, Chang Jie and others captured people from three states and returned them.

Later, the Song Dynasty sent 80,000 people south to attack Annan. The two sides fought hard for several months, and finally, exhausted, they shook hands and made peace.

Therefore, as far as the Li Dynasty is concerned, it is not the defeated side.

That's why Ruan Tanwei just said what he said about himself compared to Li Changjie.

"Even if Wang Qi comes in person, I won't be afraid!" Ruan Tan Weiqiang said confidently: "The land of Annan is very hot and miasmatic, and many people from the north are uncomfortable. If he comes with ten thousand people, I will let them all be destroyed here. If he comes with a hundred thousand people, I, Xiangqun and Yezhan, are not afraid of him either! Let him know how powerful I, Ruan Tanwei, am!”

"Send the order and return to the court immediately!" Ruan Tanwei looked towards the north: "I have to start preparing for the war! Lu Yu is just a little-known boy, this battle will definitely make me famous. when!"

Looking at Ruan Tanwei's already confident look, only Chen Yuanshu's heart sank to the bottom of his heart: How can it be mediocre that Lu Yu can become a confidant under Wang Qi?
