Chapter 275 Li Bin: No matter how you say it, the advantage is mine!
"Father, do you think Li Bin deliberately allowed his subordinates to be defeated?"
Mu Yan felt a little unbelievable, "This is too ridiculous. How is this possible?"
"Based on my understanding of Li Bin, this person is a very utilitarian person. He has the ability and brains. He can fight on the battlefield for three days and three nights for fame, and he can also climb on the ice and sleep in the snow to endure the bitter cold. This kind of thing
, it’s really possible that he can do it.”
Mu Cheng said in a deep voice, "Think about it, after the last southern expedition, the survivors of the Southwest were beaten into pieces by the then King Qi and Zhang Fu who joined forces to defeat the survivors of Jiaozhi. Li Bin has been working in the south for many years. He knows very well that this time
Although the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a strong national power at that time, if a war really broke out, it would be fine in the north, but there would not be many troops in the southwest.
Your Majesty cannot pay too much for Annan Province. If you really try your best to conquer the south at all costs and end up making ends meet, even if you recapture Annan Province, it will not be of much benefit."
Having pinpointed the imperial court, do you think Li Bin would do this?"
If he is really allowed to succeed, then the imperial court will lose both his wife and his troops this time, and cultivate a king of the southwest in the southwest."
Mu Yan murmured: "If that's the case, it's like the imperial court has removed all obstacles for Li Bin, spent a huge amount of money and troops, and placed a thorn in his pillow. The key is this thorn.
I still can’t pull it out, but if I pull it out, my hand will bleed.”
Mu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Of course, I came up with this all on my own. There is no real evidence, it's all my wild guesses."
Even though he said that, Mu Cheng felt more and more that it was very possible.
But he didn't want to believe it. He would rather believe that Li Bin really committed a military taboo, rather than having a premeditated plan.
He did not want to believe that his comrades who had fought alongside him had now abandoned the imperial court for the sake of profit.
…
Thanh Hoa Province, Annam, Lam Son.
Pingding Wang Lili was a little surprised and confused: "The Ming army's general Li Bin wants to have peace talks with us. What does he mean? Isn't he afraid of being accused of collaborating with the enemy by the Ming emperor?"
At this time, Li Li could be said to be very proud of himself. He had just launched an army and led his troops to a complete victory. With outnumbered enemies, he even killed two high-ranking generals of the Ming army, causing the Ming army to suffer heavy losses.
Annan's rebels were extremely rampant in Thanh Hoa Prefecture, and even surrounded the Western Capital City, the former capital of Cochin. The Ming army did not dare to fight back. At the same time, the 25-year-old nature of the Cochin survivors also came to the fore, and more and more people
Joining the rebels, the entire Annam Province is now considered a lake.
But Li Li did not lose his eyes because of the short-term victory. He knew very well that the Ming army was not easy to provoke.
Leaving aside the Qi King Zhu Gaojie and the British Duke Zhang Fu who were frightened by the news of the Cochin people they fought before, let's just talk about the current commander of the Annan Province, Li Bin, which is not a good thing.
But now, the Ming army actually took the initiative to apply for negotiation with them, which is really strange.
after all……
In the past, Zhu Gaojie and Zhang Fu always pushed them to the ground and beat them. How had there ever been any peace talks?
The Ming people called the Cochin people "barbarians", but in the eyes of the Cochin people, the Ming people were more like a group of fierce and cruel barbarians.
"Your Majesty, could it be that Akito is using a trick to trick us into entering the city and then..." The person next to him made a gesture of cutting his throat.
The speaker was named Ruan Lai, who was both civil and military and proficient in Chinese. His father was captured by the Ming army and was exiled to the Central Plains. When Ruan Lai sent his father to Zhennan Pass and returned to Thang Long, he was arrested by the Ming army and put under house arrest for many years.
After returning to the southwest, Ruan Lai defected to Li Li and assisted Zuo Qi in the rebellion in Lam Mountain. He became Li Li's most effective adviser and close friend.
Li Li frowned slightly: "You shouldn't. That Li Bin of the Ming Army is not an idiot. He can also use such crude means?"
Ruan Lao shook his head: "Your Majesty, sometimes the more sophisticated methods appear deliberate, and the simpler methods can confuse the enemy. This makes me predict your prediction of my prediction."
Li Li lightly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
He felt since he was a child that he was the son of destiny, the one chosen by God to redeem Jiaozhi, and that he was destined to become the emperor of the southwest.
He doesn't have an outstanding mind, and he doesn't understand very mysterious tactics, but he has amazing courage and weird luck.
He wanted to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and conquer from the south to the north to unify the world!
A smile appeared on Li Li's lips, and he said confidently: "Contact me, the leaders of the various armies in Cochin, and in the name of my pacification of Wang Li Li, call them to attend the meeting with Li Bin!"
…
"What is this idiot Li Li doing? Does he think he has won the battle and is invulnerable to everything?"
Pan Liao looked at the letter in his hand and was a little confused, "Let's go and talk to Akito together. Is he crazy?"
When the Southern Expeditionary Army captured Yi'an, Chen Jikuo's Taifu Pan Jiyou surrendered and died of illness before he could enjoy the good life. His son Pan Liao became a "Yue Nuqian" and was appointed by Zhang Fu as the prefect of Yi'an. In order to
To claim credit from his new master, Pan Liao conquered the dangers of Chenhuazhou's mountains and rivers, just like Zhang Song presented the "Topographic Map of Western Shu" to Liu Bei. After receiving this information, Zhang Fu decided to march with his troops and win consecutive battles.
Facts have proved that Pan Liao was still a Jiaozhi boy at heart. When he saw that the situation in the southwest was not good, he immediately served his country loyally and became a rebel. The rebel army under his command is one of the most powerful rebels in the southwest today.
The general beside him asked: "General, do we want to go to the peace talks?"
Pan Liao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "We have to go. Even a fledgling brat like Li Li dares to attend this peace talk. If I don't go, won't it damage my reputation and make others think that I am cowardly?"
"
The generals around me were numb when they heard General Pan's words. When did you, Pan Liao, have a reputation?
First, he became a national sinner, and then he became a Ming Dynasty son. He was either a traitor or on the way to becoming a traitor. Pan Liao himself thought that he was serving the country with loyalty, but in fact, he had become the laughing stock of the Southwest.

Outside the Western Capital City, a strange scene appeared.
Li Bin, the Marquis of Fengcheng, the commander of the Ming army, sat in the main seat, and the other seats were all rebels and bandits from all walks of life in Annan Province. Officials and bandits sat at the same table.
Not long ago, they were fighting to the death, but now the brothers are happily discussing peace talks.
However, within a few miles of this table, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed, including the Southwest Army and the rebels. If there is a slight spark, these tens of thousands of troops will be slaughtered.
Li Lili asked first: "Master Li, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. What are you calling us here to discuss?"
He spoke the Central Plains dialect. To be precise, the Jiaozhi people present knew some Central Plains dialect, but they were not very proficient in it, but they could understand it.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not set up a Chinese language college in the southwest, it still worked hard to promote Chinese and tried to tame the second and fifth generation of the Jiaozhi people, although the effect was minimal.
Li Bin nodded slightly and said: "You are all outspoken and sincere, so I won't stop talking nonsense. I gather with you all to tell you that you and I have an enemy that we need to deal with together. I think we should
Let’s unite and deal with this enemy first, and then discuss other matters.”
Pan Liao smiled disdainfully: "What a bullshit enemy, just kill them together!"
Li Bin glanced at Pan Liao and said, "General Pan, the enemy I'm talking about is the court of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaojie, and the emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. Are you sure you can kill them?"
In his words at this time, he no longer showed any respect for the imperial court, and even dared to call the prince and the emperor by their first names.
Pan Liao was stunned for a moment and shut his mouth obediently.
He already has a shadow on Zhu Gaojie.
After Pan Liao came to the Ming Dynasty, he helped the Ming people fight against the Cochin people, and he understood better than anyone else how terrifying Zhu Gaojie was in fighting.
He can accurately deploy the various battalions of the army to hundreds or even dozens of steps! It is terrifying to let each soldier have a clear division of labor and be able to do it without leaking on the battlefield!
On the battlefield,
Who cares who you are, you can't hear anything after you have a red eye, but under the command of Prince Qi, everything seems to be like a chess piece on a chessboard, and you can go wherever you are told, and Pan Liao can be seen.
He is a worldly person, but he has never seen such an outrageous scene.
After seeing the horror of King Qi's troops, Pan Liao felt a heavy burden in his heart. At that time, he was still a friendly army with the Ming army, but what if he and Prince Qi were enemies?
I don’t even know how I died!
Li Bin said seriously: "Although the relationship between us is not harmonious, for us, Zhu Gaojie is our common enemy."
Li Li felt it was a bit ridiculous: "You want to join forces with us to push back the Ming army...well, push back the Ming court army?"
The generals of the Ming army gathered together the leaders of the rebels and wanted to join forces with them to fight against the Ming army?
No matter how you hear this, it sounds a bit ridiculous!
Li Bin nodded: "Your Excellency is indeed very smart, and that is exactly what I mean."
Li Li was a little confused: "Aren't you... a Mingren? Why do you want to fight against the imperial court with us?"
Li Bin smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I have become a sinner of the imperial court. If Zhu Gaojie comes to the southwest, the first thing he will do is to chop off my head to stabilize the morale of the army."
Li Li suddenly realized it, and at the same time he felt a little proud.
Hey, we Cochin people are still very promising. If we beat the enemy to pieces, doesn't it mean that we Cochin people have the qualifications to conquer the world?
Pan Liao asked with some uncertainty: "You mean, Prince Qi of the Ming Dynasty, is going to take command to conquer our southwest?"
Li Bin corrected him: "To be precise, he is no longer King Qi, but the crown prince of Ming Dynasty."
Pan Liao asked: "Don't care whether he is King Qi or the prince, is that Zhu Gaojie coming to attack our southwest?"
"Well, that should be the case. After all, if the imperial court wants to regain the southwest, only Zhu Gaojiu is the most suitable person." Li Bin said, "But the problem is not big. Although the imperial court should send Zhu Gaojiu to the southwest, he will not be able to bring many troops.
I am the chief general of the Ming Dynasty in Annan Province. I know the situation of the Ming Dynasty better than you. When Zhu Gaojie came to the southwest, he could only bring an army of 30,000 to 40,000 troops at most, or even less than 30,000 to 40,000 men. And the total number of our people is ten
An army of thirty thousand.
No matter how you put it, the battle strength is 130,000 versus 30,000, so I have the advantage!"
Even Zhu Gaojie can't win this battle!"
Hearing Kang's impassioned remarks, Pan Liao immediately stood up, clapped his hands and applauded: "Well said, that's damn good. You go ahead and fight. I'll withdraw first as a courtesy."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Bin frowned and asked, "General Pan, what do you mean?"
Pan Liao turned around and said calmly: "Being an enemy of Zhu Gaojie is the stupidest choice. In the words of you Han people, this is called seeking death. If you are willing to die, you will die yourself. I will not join them.
Farewell."
He didn't hesitate at all and ran away.
What a joke!
Fighting with someone who can direct the army to move dozens of steps during war?
Are you afraid that the left brain is not fully developed and the right brain is completely underdeveloped?
Life is so wonderful. Isn't it good to live? Why do we have to die by ourselves?
…
Pan Liao's departure caused everyone present to fall into silence, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Before the battle was over, someone threatened to surrender, and morale fell to a low point.
Faced with this situation, Li Li said loudly: "Haha, Pan Liao is as timid as a mouse. He is always so scared when he sees the enemy. When Zhang Fu came to attack us, he didn't show any fear.
He surrendered hesitantly, but now it seems that Pan Liao is only getting less and less courageous!"
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha."
"ha?"
Although everyone present laughed, there was no hint of joy.
Pan Liao is indeed timid, but it does not mean that Pan Liao is really a fool.
In contrast
Pan Liao has great foresight and makes the right choice every time.
When Zhang Fu led his troops, Pan Liao surrendered without a fight. Facts have proved that his choice was very correct, because except for Pan Liao, most of the other generals of the Chen Dynasty in Jiaozhi died in Zhang Fu's hands.
Even Chen Jikuo, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, was captured by the Ming army.
【In view of the general environment,
Being able to scare Pan Liao like this, no matter whether there was something fishy or not, was enough to show that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was really capable.
Li Bin said calmly: "At this point, I think you have no better way. Unless you are willing to wait for Zhu Gaojie to come to the southwest and defeat us individually. Otherwise, we can only unite."
Li Li seconded: "I think so too, do any of you object?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and after much hesitation, they finally agreed.
Li Bin was right, they had no other choice.
Together, the Ming Dynasty's court will come to fight them.
If they don't unite, the Ming Dynasty's court will also beat them.
The difference is that without unity, they have no chance of winning.
Before the storm arrived, eighteen rebel generals from the southwest formed a coalition with Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng. According to Li Bin's plan, it was supposed to be the "Twenty-Route Coalition". However, due to Pan Liao's first departure, only the remaining
The "Nineteenth Route Allied Forces".
The Nineteenth Route Allied Forces do not have a common leader. They each command their own troops. The Ming Dynasty and the Jiaozhi survivors have been fighting for so many years. Even if they are united, they cannot have much trust in each other. Everyone is suspicious of each other. How can they be willing to do so?
