When Ruan Phuc was in high spirits, suddenly, another piece of good news came from the front line.
"What? Zheng Thief died of illness?" Ruan Fulin couldn't believe his ears. After the offensive went smoothly, Zheng Jie, a hero of the generation, died of illness at this time.
After receiving the confirmation, Ruan Phuc could not help but look up to the sky and laugh: "God helps me, God helps me..."
This Zheng Jie was ordered to do so during the civil strife of the Zheng family and was attacked by the Mo Dynasty in the north. As a result, he not only regained control of the north and defeated the Mo Dynasty's attack, he even counterattacked, captured Gaoping, the capital of the Mo Dynasty, and killed Mo Jinggong, the overlord of the Mo Dynasty. The emperor Mo Jingkuan fled to the Ming Dynasty.
Afterwards, Zheng Jie began to mobilize his troops for the southern expedition. Several times, he almost defeated the two defensive fronts built by the Ruan family who spent a lot of manpower and material resources. He has always been the most troublesome figure for the Ruan family.
Such a person died of illness during the Ruan family's Northern Expedition. How could Ruan Phucin not be overjoyed!
So, without saying a word, he immediately moved the Chinese army forward and sent an order to his two vanguard generals Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin, ordering them to advance together and sweep away the enemies of the Northern Dynasties.
In the original history, after receiving the order, Ruan Youyi secretly met with Ruan Phucin to discuss ways to defeat the enemy. Ruan Phuc was so happy that he also gave him a golden sword and ordered him to return to the army to fight against the enemy.
As a result, Ruan Youjin was quite dissatisfied when he learned about this matter and felt that his military exploits were greater. However, Ruan Youyi's verbal argument only attracted Ruan Phucin's attention. The reason why he thinks so is that Ruan Youyi has always been better than him in speaking and has quite a reputation.
Therefore, when Ruan Youyi advanced, Ruan Youjin withdrew his troops and returned south. As a result, Ruan Youyi failed to get help from Ruan Youjin and was defeated by Zheng's army.
Originally, the Ruan family's Northern Expedition had already been instigated by the butterfly effect. Therefore, the deepening of the two Ruan family generals did not happen as it originally happened in history.
As a result, the Nguyen family's north was smooth. After Zheng Chi's death, the Nguyen army marched northward, continued to capture Nghe An, and occupied Thanh Hoa, the western capital of the Later Le Dynasty.
This was a great victory that the Ruan family had never had before, and they actually captured the Western Capital.
Ruan Phuc Bin was overjoyed and drove to Xidu, a place where his ancestors had never set foot.
Standing on the top of the Western Capital City, looking to the northeast, Ruan Phuc Lin waved his hand and said boldly: "When can I go somewhere?"
Although he is the actual king of Nanruan, he calls himself Duke Yang, so he calls himself this.
The surrounding ministers, of course, understood where he was referring. He was referring to Shenglong Mansion in the Eastern Capital, which is now the root of the Zheng family and the place where the emperor of the Later Li Dynasty was located.
Therefore, flatterers naturally flocked to him immediately. Anyway, the meaning was the same, saying that Nguyen Phuc was a wise and powerful man who was destined to unify Annan and would surely sit on the throne of the emperor of Thang Long Palace as soon as possible.
Of course, Ruan Phuc Bin was very happy about these flatteries, and even wrote a poem immediately, and then issued an order to send troops to Longfu.
As for himself, he did not go out with the army again. After all, to attack the Zheng family's base, we must also prevent the Zheng family from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Besides, after all, Thanh Hoa is the capital of the West. Even if your butt is not hot, you should enjoy it.
Of course, Ruan Phuc Bin is also always paying attention to the war on the front line.
On this day, he was having a banquet with the officials in the Western Capital Palace. Suddenly, I heard rapid footsteps coming from outside.
A minister heard it first and immediately said to Ruan Phucin: "Sir, with such rapid footsteps outside, it must be that the good news from the front has arrived!"
"Perhaps it's the good news that Shenglong Mansion has already won! The Lord is so happy!" The other ministers were naturally unwilling to lag behind and hurriedly followed suit.
Ruan Phuc was very happy to hear this. In fact, he thought so too.
At this time, apart from the battle against Shenglong Mansion, there were no other major events. And according to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, as well as morale, etc., this battle is also a sure thing.
Thinking that he would soon be able to move to Thang Long Mansion, finally unify Annan, and end the decades of war between the North and the South. He had the last laugh, amidst the flattery, he couldn't help but feel very proud, and laughed immediately. stand up.
At this moment, hurried footsteps had arrived at the entrance of the hall, and a figure appeared. Just a glance, and he saw that he was carrying a flag, which was the flag of the Eight Hundred Miles Emergency. The laughter in the hall suddenly stopped.
Because from the look on the messenger's face, you knew it was not a good news.
"Your Majesty..." The messenger knelt down, maybe he could no longer stand, panting, and reported in a panic, "The Ming army suddenly landed in large numbers in Hue, Hoi An, Quang Ngai and other places. Fall!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone in the hall who heard it, including Ruan Phuc Bin himself.
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the hall suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop clearly.
Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound, and the glass wine glass in Ruan Fulin's hand fell to the ground, making a sound and shattering on the ground.
Stirred by the voice, Ruan Phulin came to his senses, immediately turned into a ferocious face, and shouted sternly: "What did you say? Say it again?"
He really couldn't believe it. The Ming Dynasty had never intervened in the situation in Annan. Why did it suddenly send troops? And if the Ming Dynasty sent troops, why didn't they send troops from the northern border, but suddenly landed from the sea?
Also, why did the Ming Congress attack his home base when his troops were at their most empty when he had mobilized all the country's troops for the Northern Expedition?
To be honest, even if I beat him to death, I would never have thought that he would be attacked by the Ming Kingdom first, and it was also when his troops were empty. At this time, it was really the wrong time!
He couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand!
So much so that although he heard clearly, he didn't want to believe it. He would rather think that he was deaf and heard wrongly!
The messenger thought that what he said was not clear enough, so he quickly repeated the report in a clear and concise tone, breaking Ruan Phuc Bin's illusion: he had indeed heard correctly, and the Ming army suddenly attacked his home base where there were no troops.
After confirming the news, Ruan Phuc Bin sat back in his seat, feeling as if his energy had been squeezed dry by something. Just sitting there, muttering to himself: "Why, why is this happening, why..."
The great sadness under the great joy made it still a little difficult for him to accept this fact.
The Ming Dynasty has always been a big mountain pressing on Annan's head. Fortunately, apart from the ambitions of the founding emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the subsequent emperors did not look down on Annan at all, and because of this, Annan was able to establish an independent country.
If the Ming Dynasty really wanted to capture Annan, even if Taizu of the Li Dynasty raised troops to resist the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely be suppressed in the end. Who made the Ming Dynasty so big and had so many troops!
As long as the Ming Dynasty does not care about it, there will be a dispute between the north and the south in Annan. They all hope that one day they can destroy each other and become kings in Annan.
Unexpectedly, when Ruan Phuc Bin was about to realize the Ruan family's wish, the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent troops!
If Ruan Phuc Bin was still confident before the Northern Expedition, even if the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack him, he would still be able to resist. Maybe it could be delayed until the Ming Dynasty could not bear the losses and take the initiative to withdraw its troops.
But, how could it happen at this time if he is so immortal?
No matter what Ruan Phucin thought, after he came to his senses, of course he was not willing to let it go like this. He quickly asked his ministers: "My lords, what can I do now? If anyone has a good strategy, tell me quickly, and it will be important." reward!"
However, he was the only one speaking in the hall. After he finished speaking, all the courtiers lowered their heads, as if they had not heard what he said.
Obviously, no one can do anything about it!
"Trash, a bunch of trash!" Ruan Fu was furious when he saw this situation. He stretched out his hand and knocked everything on the table in front of him to the ground. Then he roared and shouted, "What's the use of raising you, trash?" …”
Hearing him cursing like this, some ministers couldn't stand it anymore and quickly came up with an idea: "How about... why don't we send someone to see the generals of the Ming army and ask about the situation, why are they sending troops to attack us?"
"Yes, the Celestial Empire is very concerned about face. Maybe they will retreat in panic after being questioned!"
"..."
Hearing their words, Ruan Phuc Bin couldn't help but became furious and shouted: "If you say you are trash, you are trash. Now that the Ming Dynasty has sent troops, how can you easily retreat? Don't forget, that traitor Mo Dengyong brought Annan back It was sold to the Ming Dynasty. In name, our Annan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. What reason can they give for sending troops? Maybe it is to suppress the rebellion!"
Obviously, his mind was relatively clear, and he had almost guessed the excuse for the Ming army to send troops.
When he said this, his ministers fell silent again.
In the end, it was Ruan Phuc Bin who made the decision on his own and immediately sent an order to withdraw troops from the front line and return to their home base.
No matter what, the old nest cannot be lost, and it must be taken back if it is occupied by the Ming army.
In order to fear that the morale of the frontline troops would be chaotic, he did not say anything about the situation in the rear, but he only asked the frontline troops to withdraw without reason.
After Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin received the order, they felt a little baffled. They were about to capture Shenglong Palace and victory was in sight. Why did they have to withdraw their troops?
To be honest, they were a little hesitant.
However, three gold medals in one day urged the two of them to withdraw immediately.
In desperation, Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin led their troops and had no choice but to withdraw.
………………
Zheng Zha died of illness, and Zheng Zha took over his power and became the new generation of Lord Zheng. This is also a capable master. In the original history, he took advantage of the contradiction between the two generals of the Ruan family, seized the opportunity, turned defeat into victory in one fell swoop, and drove the Ruan family back to the south.
However, in this plane, due to the huge difference in strength and no opportunity to take advantage, they could only defend Shenglong Mansion and struggle hard.
What he never expected was that when the Ruan army gained the advantage, they suddenly withdrew.
This news really made him unbelievable, so he immediately rushed to the front line to check the situation.
