The battle in Guangyuan shocked everyone.
South Vietnam was shocked by Chen Cheng's incompetence! Now everyone in the court agrees that Li Changjie, a eunuch, is still able to defeat the Song Dynasty without the power to fight back. He built a Jingguan in Yongzhou City to declare the great power of Vietnam.
Chen Cheng led no fewer soldiers than Li Changjie, but he was beaten to pieces by a few men who didn't even have clothes to wear. Thirty thousand elite soldiers were killed or injured, and only a few of his followers escaped!
Chen Cheng actually has the nerve to come back, he might as well just die!
Nanyue's face has been completely humiliated by this guy!
What kind of thing is Nong Zhigao? He is the defeated general of Nanyue. Both father and son asked Nanyue to capture him alive. Everyone used to abuse him. How could Chen Cheng lose to such a person!
What upset everyone the most was that he actually had a reason! Because the enemies he saw were not just a few thousand, but tens of thousands! And these people are not Nong people, but Han people! He concluded that reinforcements from the Song Dynasty had arrived, and he was defeated by the Song Dynasty. What crime was he guilty of!
The people in the court became even more angry, but what about the people in the Song Dynasty? Didn't they also lose to the eunuch Li Changjie in Yongzhou? The Song people are neither indestructible nor invincible. They can lose to the Khitans and the Dangxiang people, but why can't they lose to the South Vietnamese!
The Yushi Yanguan kept asking Chen Cheng, but who is Chen Cheng? This trip is just to reap the benefits and prepare for promotion in the yamen. It doesn't matter if they don't have to work hard. These people also plan to add insult to injury. Even if they beat a dog, it depends on the owner. His father was Chen Siqing, a powerful figure in the imperial court. As the second-largest figure in the military, second only to Liu Qingtan, who would dare to do anything to them?
When Chen Cheng was imprisoned for his crime, everyone knew that the final outcome would either be to punish him for meritorious deeds or to let the matter go. Unless they committed the serious crime of treason, no one could do anything to them.
Everyone was discussing whether to send troops to attack Nong Zhigao. Different voices appeared in the court, and the matter of ensuring victory was also fermented at this time!
South Vietnam is experiencing internal and external troubles at this time!
Although Baosheng is a poor and remote place, it is at the forefront of the border with Dali. Its location is so important and special that it can be razed to the ground overnight without leaving a trace. Such behavior itself is full of mystery!
If it is to attack South Vietnam, the enemy will make a big fanfare. If it is bandits and bandits, then when did they have such a large group of bandits in South Vietnam? It is not an easy task to destroy a town in one night without anyone noticing!
At least, even if they send 10,000 South Vietnamese soldiers, they may not be able to do it as neatly as this group of people!
The South Vietnamese court had sent capable officers to investigate the case, but after several days, no useful information came back, which made all the officials even more suspicious!
The imperial court has already lost 30,000 troops. If another army is sent to fight against the Song Dynasty at this juncture, a group of bandits will really appear in the country, which may endanger the safety of the imperial court. Should we take this risk?
South Vietnam and the Song Dynasty did not have much hatred to begin with. They even started this war just for the sake of face and Guangyuan gold. However, they had already received ten thousand times the benefits of the gold mine in Yongzhou, so why should they return the favor? Do you want to let the country suffer for the sake of face?
These ministers discussed and discussed, and finally decided that the court should both fight against external forces and maintain internal peace. In this case, it must take care of both ends!
The failure of Guangyuan allowed them to see the horror of the great northern country. In fact, they had heard more or less that the reason why Yongzhou could win was not because of how strong they were, but because of the civil strife in the Song Dynasty. Their elite soldiers Being used in Anei, Yongzhou City only had 3,000 farmers recruited temporarily. It took them half a year. If their forbidden army came, could the South Vietnamese army withstand it?
Three thousand farmers taught them how to behave, as well as the group of Taiwanese grassroots in Guangyuan. No one believed that they were from the Song Dynasty. They were definitely local braves recruited by Nong Zhigao. They could not defeat South Vietnam. How to fight?
Although the South Vietnamese people don't talk about it, they know better than anyone else how powerful the people of the Song Dynasty are! Although they have not won on the northern and western fronts in recent years, the strength of Liao and Xixia has been greatly reduced, but the Song Dynasty is still the Song Dynasty, and it will never change.
On the contrary, it makes people more in awe!
Taking care of both ends, the South Vietnamese sent Li Changjie, who was ordered to regain the dignity of South Vietnam on the northern front. They also planned to ask Chen Cheng to commit crimes and let him find out what happened in Baosheng! This matter was promoted by the three auxiliary ministers, and the opposition voice of the court was slightly smaller!
Everyone who is an official knows that there are some things that people in the court cannot know, but some people among the people have the ability to know. The Chen family is such a person!
What the Chen family thinks is that they may not be able to win against people from abroad. How can they still have opponents in their own country?
The second person who was shocked was Nong Zhigao himself!
He didn't expect that he just found a military advisor, but he didn't expect that the situation of the battle would turn around so quickly!
He used to be Nong Quanfu's strategist, and his dead ghost father would listen to whatever he said. However, after actual combat tests, it was found that his little tricks could not deceive even ghosts, and the Nong people even let him take him into hell. , there were countless casualties, and Guangyuan was seriously injured.
After his second failure, Nong Zhigao learned the hard way and conducted a profound analysis and self-examination of himself. Finally, he had to admit his shortcomings in ability, which further contributed to his firm idea of looking for a business partner. It was also his good luck that he met a business partner. Huang Shimi, who escaped from Yongzhou.
Huang Shimi's first action was the incident of Buddha's birth, which successfully allowed Nong Zhigao to attract countless supports and gain strength far beyond that of Nong people. The next move made Nong Zhigao avenge his humiliation. Nong Zhigao was both happy and excited. Only then did he realize that his previous strength was so weak, and it turned out that the South Vietnamese were not completely invincible!
His thinking is that if the South Vietnamese have been defeated by him, and the South Vietnamese have defeated the Song people, then he will have the ability to dominate the world. .
God, he gave him a gold mine, and he also gave him Huang Shimi. Isn't it just a sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick, which can bring peace to the world!
It turns out that fighting can be so simple. There are more than 30,000 people, and two battles are over. He couldn't believe it when he saw the corpses in that place. This was the masterpiece of the grassroots soldiers he recruited. These South Vietnamese soldiers were all He was fully armed and his equipment was countless times better than theirs!
He absorbed the weapons and equipment left by the South Vietnamese soldiers, and his strength increased countless times!
For guarding Guangyuan, is his contribution truly worthy of the invitation he submitted to the court? .
The third person who was shocked was the Song Dynasty.
Since Lu Zhihan got the invitation form from Nong Zhigao, he didn't hand it over at all. Instead, he stuffed it under the foot of the table where the concubine was playing mahjong and went to pad the table!
What kind of status does Nong Zhigao have that he dares to openly bargain with the imperial court? If Lu Zhihan turns in his request form, he will definitely get ridicule and accountability from his colleagues!
The imperial court does not want to cause trouble, but Nong Zhigao is a restless master!
This guy has rebelled twice before, and yet he dares to openly claim to be king. Just for his ridiculous behavior in the first two times, he was taken to the vegetable market and beheaded ten times. Now he actually wants a reward from the court, don't you? Don’t people have any brains?
This stupid guy actually picked up another army and went to war with South Vietnam.
He had heard about Guangyuan's discovery of gold. It was just a piece of gold nugget. Lu Zhihan was not even in the mood to ask.
The Song Dynasty lacked everything except money! It’s just a few taels of gold, what’s there to be jealous of! But then he heard that there was another Buddha statue incident. From here on, he smelled something unusual here, and his intuition told him that Nong Zhigao was going to do something big again!
Sure enough, within a few days, he openly said that he wanted to take revenge and crusade against South Vietnam. The two groups of people were like dogs eating dogs. Unexpectedly, South Vietnam also had a brain problem, so he really stimulated people and sent an army over!
In one battle, South Vietnam was defeated miserably!
Behind this series of events, the top official in Guangnan's border area felt the cold sweat behind his back!
The South Vietnamese couldn't even defeat a group of Nong people without swords, but the city of Yongzhou fell into the hands of the South Vietnamese. If people in the court knew about this, his official career would really be over!
He has been waiting for these months.
He was waiting for an official letter from the court, most likely to remove him, but in the end it didn't come. Should he take the initiative to write to the court to regain the lost dignity and honor? He doesn't like Nong Zhigao. Such a person can defeat South Vietnam, so what's the difference between South Vietnam and a pile of dung?
He was shocked that South Vietnam's real strength was so weak!
His intuition from many years of fighting in the officialdom told him that after this battle, things would be turbulent again!
Liang Chuan spent a few days rectifying it, and through underground channels, he used the money he robbed in Baosheng to buy a lot of supplies in South Vietnam.
In the public, he also heard the news that Nong Zhigao fought with South Vietnam and won a great victory!
I never expected that Nong Zhigao and Huang Shimi, two people in a nest of snakes and rats, could really accomplish great things!
He thought the news was false at first. After all, he had the main force in his hands. How could those Han people do something that no one else could do?
But after asking around in many places, everyone agreed and all spoke in the same caliber. Only then did he know that Nong Zhigao had really accomplished something big!
What's even more frightening is that he heard a big thing. After Nong Zhigao's great victory over South Vietnam, he had ordered his troops to go south, preparing for a decisive battle with South Vietnam! When Liang Chuan heard the news, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted! Did this kid win a battle and let the victory go to his head? Guangyuan is his home court and he has an advantage no matter how he fights. Now he wants to go south. Does he think he is really the God of War?
