Soon, news of the army's disastrous defeat came back, and Annan Emperor Moore Hong was shocked!
"How is it possible! An army of one hundred thousand! The whole army was wiped out?
Are you kidding me again?
You must be lying about the military situation, here comes someone! Drag this man out and chop him!"
Moore Hong roared.
The man knelt on the ground and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty! What the villain said is absolutely true! At this time, the prince Lin Fan has led the army to Qujing Mansion!"
"The villain estimates that at this time, the entire Yunnan Mansion should be under his control!"
thump!
Moore Hong turned pale in panic and fell on the dragon chair. Their Annan Kingdom was not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty. After all, they only had 150,000 troops.
This time, 100,000 people were lost, and there are still 50,000 people left. How can we fight against the prince Lin Fan?
Moreover, his soldiers don’t have cotton-padded clothes yet!
"Tell me, how many people did they lose?
If 100,000 people fight to kill 150,000 of them, we still have a chance to defend the territory of Annan Kingdom!"
Moore Hong said excitedly.
The man said in a deep voice: "Return! Report back to Your Majesty, the enemy has not lost a single person, and all 250,000 troops are here!"
What!
250,000 people killed 100,000 people. Even if there is an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, no matter what tactics the general uses, it is impossible not to lose a single person, right?
"You bastard! You are talking nonsense! You are disrupting the morale of the army! There are 100,000 people there. How is it possible that they were all killed without killing a single person?"
Moore said angrily.
"Then! That Ming Prince was so cunning. While our people were going down the mountain, they actually used their shields as boats and slid down!"
"Our people were scattered by them, fled in all directions, and were all killed in the end!"
The man cried and said.
this!
Moore Hong was completely dumbfounded now. One hundred thousand people were killed, and not a single person on the other side was lost. Now it was 250,000 people versus 50,000 people. How could they fight?
"My dear friends, is there any other way?"
Moore Hong said solemnly.
All the officials present lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak. Moore Hong looked at Pei Nanda and asked, "Pei Aiqing, have you done what you said last time?"
What he was talking about was, of course, Li Xiuyuan, whom Pei Nanjin mentioned. This person was a veteran of the three dynasties and was highly respected. If he came forward, the prince might give him some face.
After all, in ancient times, Confucius lobbied all countries to maintain peace among them. It can be seen that the role of those great Confucians was still very important.
Pei Nanjin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have already sent a letter to my good friend Li Xiuyuan, and he has agreed to this matter. However, the key point is still on your Majesty's side."
"kindness?
Dear, what do you mean?
Why is the key point still here with me?"
Moore Hong asked.
"Your Majesty, you should have seen the imperial edict from the Ming Dynasty last time, asking us to return the Yunnan Mansion and compensate three trillion taels of silver!"
"At that time, His Majesty did not agree. Now it seems that this is the best result for us. However, we may not be able to pay back the compensation of so much money even if it takes a hundred years!
"
"Your Majesty's direct refusal is a helpless choice. At this time, we can only hope that the prince will be persuaded and agree to continue talking with us!"
"As long as we can fulfill his request, we will try our best to do it. If we cannot do it, we still hope that His Majesty will make a humble gesture and pray for the forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince!"
Pei Nanjin said in a deep voice.
Fu Dekai on the side heard this and said angrily: "Nonsense! Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world. How can you bow down to the prince of the Ming Dynasty? Even if you show humility, it should be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who comes in person!"
Ahem!
Pei Nanjin coughed twice and shut up. In an instant, Fu Dekai felt like he had hit the sponge with his fist. He looked at Pei Nanjin blankly and said, "Master Pei, you! What do you mean?
?”
"Prime Minister, you have already said this, what else can I say?
Go talk to the prince of the Ming Dynasty and ask him to call the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Pei Nanjin said in a deep voice.
"You! How can you talk like that!"
Fu Dekai said angrily.
"Why did I speak?
The Prime Minister is indispensable for our Annan Kingdom to be what it is today. Since you are more domineering than His Majesty, why don't you just go and talk?"
Pei Nanjin said in a deep voice.
These few words left Fu Dekai speechless. Moore Hong looked at Fu Dekai with a bit of disgust and said: "Prime Minister, since you have no better way, you'd better shut up now!
"
Fu Dekai refused to give up and said: "Your Majesty! We can't just compromise! We are connected with the tame Wang Siliang of Guizhou Prefecture. If we can get his help, there may be a turning point!"
"Haha! Is there a turning point?
Prime Minister, please tell me, how can we turn things around?"
Moore Hong sneered.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Guizhou Prefecture still has 50,000 elite troops. If Wang Siliang is willing to send troops, and the Ava Kingdom also sends an elite force to participate in the war, we should cooperate internally and externally to attack the dog prince, and we will definitely hit him hard!"
Fu Dekai said in a deep voice.
If the strategy he mentioned can be successful, it will indeed cause great obstacles to Lin Fan. However, Wang Siliang no longer has any elite soldiers.
There are indeed more than 100,000 elite soldiers in the Ava Kingdom. However, they also want to protect their own territory from intrusion, so how can they easily send troops?
"Haha! Prime Minister, I thought you had some clever plan, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of plan. How can I trust you?"
"I haven't settled the matter with you about the two hundred and fifty thousand cotton-padded clothes yet!"
Moore said angrily.
"Your Majesty! We need to be prepared for this!"
Fu Dekai advised.
"Hmph! Prime Minister, if you think it is necessary to make preparations, then go ahead and do it. Pei Aiqing, you should go to Yunnan Mansion now. Once Prince Lin Fan is willing to talk to us, let me know immediately!"
Moore Hong said solemnly.
At this time, he no longer had the arrogance he had before, and just wanted to reconcile with Lin Fan as soon as possible and resolve this crisis.
Lin Fan led an army of 250,000 men to station outside Qujing Mansion, and sent another 50,000 men into Qujing Mansion City to guard the city. The defenders of Qujing Mansion City showed no resistance.
After all, these people are not soldiers of the Annan Kingdom, but people of the Yunnan Prefecture. Naturally, there is no need to fight to the death for the Annan Kingdom.
"Your Highness, we have been stationed here for three days. Why not quickly occupy all the cities in Yunnan Mansion?"
Cheng Zixu said in a deep voice.
There are many cities in Yunnan Prefecture. If they are not recovered for a day, it will be a hidden danger!
They were stationed here for three days. If they had started to regain the city early, Yunnan Mansion would have been under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
"Haha! General Cheng, your thinking is a bit simple!"
