Chapter 733: Cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot

When Nguyen Phuc was about to be in full swing, suddenly, another good news came from the front line.

"What? Zheng Thief died of illness?" Ruan Phuc could not believe his ears. With the smooth attack, Zheng Jun, as a hero of a generation, actually died of illness at this time.

After being confirmed, Nguyen Phuc couldn't help but laugh: "God helps me, God helps me..."

Zheng Jian was ordered to attack by Mo Chao in the north during the civil strife of Zheng. As a result, he not only regained control of the north and defeated Mo Chao's attack, but also counterattacked, captured Gaoping, the capital of Mo Chao, killed Mo Chao's Supreme Emperor Mo Jinggong, and the emperor Mo Jingkuan fled to the Ming Dynasty.

Afterwards, Zheng Jian began to mobilize troops to fight south again, and almost fought the two defensive fronts built by the Ruan family that spent a lot of manpower and material resources several times. He has always been the most troublesome figure in the Ruan family.

Such a person died of illness during the Northern Expedition of the Nguyen Tribe. How could Nguyen Phuc Bing not be ecstatic?

So, without saying a word, the central army immediately moved forward and sent an order to his two vanguard generals Ruan Youyi. Ruan Youjin, ordering them to advance together and sweep the enemy of the Northern Dynasties.

In the original history, after receiving the order, Ruan Youyi secretly visited Nguyen Phu Bing to discuss the plan to break the enemy. Nguyen Phu was happy and gave him a golden sword to return to the army to fight the enemy.

As a result, Ruan Youjin was quite dissatisfied with the matter when he learned about it, thinking that he had greater military achievements, but Ruan Youyi was more valued by Ruan Phu for his verbal debate. The reason why he believed this was that Ruan Youyi had always surpassed him in verbal conversation and was quite famous.

So, when Ruan Youyi advanced, Ruan Youjin withdrew his troops to the south. As a result, Ruan Youyi was defeated by Zheng's army without receiving Ruan Youjin's assistance.

Originally, the Northern Expedition of the Nguyen tribe had been incited by the butterfly effect, so the matter that deepened the two Nguyen generals did not happen as in history.

Therefore, the north of the Ruan tribe went smoothly. After Zheng Jian's death, the Ruan army continued to advance north and continued to capture Yi'an and Qinghua, the western capital of the Later Li Dynasty.

This was a great victory that the Ruan family had never had before, and they actually captured Xidu.

Nguyen Phuc was overjoyed and set foot on the Xidu, setting foot on this place his ancestors had never set foot on.

Standing on the head of Xidu City and looking northeast, Nguyen Phuc Bing waved his hand and said proudly: "When can I go where can I go?"

Although he was the actual king of Nanruan, he called himself the Duke of Yangjun, so he claimed that he had this.

The ministers around him certainly understood where he was referring to the Eastern Capital Shenglong Mansion. The current Zheng family's fundamental location is also the place where the emperor of the Later Li Dynasty was located.

So, the flattery naturally flocked to him immediately. Anyway, it means that Nguyen Phuc was wise and destined to unify Annan, and would definitely be able to sit on the throne of the Emperor in Shenglong Mansion as soon as possible.

Of course, Ruan Phoenix was very happy about these flatteries. She even wrote a poem immediately and issued an order to send troops to Shenglong Mansion.

As for himself, he did not go out with the army anymore. After all, attacking the fundamentals of Zheng's family, we must prevent the Zheng family from jumping into the wall in a hurry.

Besides, Qinghua is located in Xidu after all, so you have to enjoy it even if you don’t even sit on the hot side.

Of course, Nguyen Phuc is always paying attention to the frontline war.

On that day, he was having a banquet with his ministers at the Xidu Palace. Suddenly, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from outside.

A minister heard the first ear and immediately replied to Nguyen Phuc: "Mr., the quick steps outside must be that the front line has arrived!"

"Maybe it was the good news that Shenglong Mansion had won! The prince was very happy!" The other minister was naturally unwilling to fall behind, so he quickly flattered.

Nguyen Phuc was very happy to hear it, but in fact, he thought so too.

At this time, there was no other major event except for the battle to attack Shenglong Mansion. And based on the comparison of the forces of the two sides, morale, etc., this battle was almost certain.

Thinking that he would soon be able to move to Shenglong Mansion and finally unify Annan and end the decades of disputes between the north and the south. When he laughed to the end, he couldn't help but feel proud amid the sound of flattery and immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, the rapid footsteps had already reached the gate of the hall. A figure appeared. When he saw that the banner was carrying a banner, which was a 800-mile rush. The laughter in the hall suddenly stopped.

Because looking at the messenger's expression, you will know that it is not a good news.

"Report to the Duke..." The messenger knelt down, perhaps he could no longer stand, and gasped and reported in panic, "The Ming army suddenly landed in Hue, Hoi'an, Guangyi and other places, and the southern prefectures fell!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone in the hall’s forehead, including Nguyen Phuc-bin himself.

After the messenger finished speaking, the hall suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly when it landed on the ground.

Suddenly, with a "clang", the glass of wine in Ruan Phuket fell to the ground, making a sound, shattering the ground.

Aroused by the sound, Ruan Phuc came to his senses and immediately turned ferocious and shouted sternly: "What did you say, do you say it again?"

He really couldn't believe that Ming Dynasty had never intervened in the situation in Annan, so why did he send troops suddenly? And if Ming Dynasty sent troops, why didn't he send troops from the northern border, but suddenly landed from the sea?

Also, why did the Ming Dynasty attack his old lair when the country was most empty when he was decent as he transferred all the troops across the country to the Northern Expedition?

To be honest, he would never have thought that he would be attacked by Ming Kingdom first, and his troops were empty. At this time, it was really an abnormal time!

He couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out!

So much so that although he heard it clearly, he was unwilling to believe it. He would rather think that it was his back of his ears and misheard it!

The messenger thought he was not clear enough, so he quickly reported it again with a serious expression, breaking Ruan Phuc's fantasy: He was indeed right, and the Ming army suddenly attacked his empty nest.

After confirming the news, Nguyen Phuc was sitting back to her seat, her whole body was so energetic that she would be squeezed dry by something. She just sat there and muttered to herself: "Why, why is this happening, why..."

The great sorrow under the great joy made him a little difficult to accept such a fact.

The Ming Dynasty has always been a mountain pressing on Annan. Fortunately, in addition to the founding emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors behind him looked down on Annan at all, and this was why Annan was able to establish his country independently.

If the Ming Kingdom really wanted to take Annan, even if Taizu Li Chao raised troops to resist Ming Kingdom back then, he would definitely be suppressed in the end. Who made Ming Kingdom so big and so many troops?

Only under the premise that the Ming Dynasty did not care about it, Annan would have a dispute between the north and the south. They all hoped that one day they could destroy the other side and become king in Annan.

Unexpectedly, when Nguyen Phuc was about to realize this Ruan’s wish, Ming Kingdom suddenly sent troops!

If it was before the Northern Expedition, Nguyen Phuc would still have confidence that even if Ming sent troops to attack him, he would have the power to resist. Maybe he could delay the unbearable losses of Ming Dynasty and take the initiative to withdraw his troops.

But, it’s so hard to die, how could it be at this time?

No matter what Ruan Phoenix thought, after coming back to his senses, he was certainly unwilling to let it go. He hurriedly asked his ministers: "What are you doing now? Whoever has a good idea? To be honest, there will be a reward!"

However, he was the only one who spoke in the hall. After he finished speaking, all the ministers lowered their heads and seemed to have not heard what he said.

Obviously, no one has a way of doing this!

"Waste, a bunch of waste!" Nguyen Phuc saw this and was furious. He reached out and rumbled, rubbed everything on the table in front of him to the ground, then roared and shouted, "What's the use of raising you, waste..."

Hearing his swearing, some ministers couldn't stand it anymore and quickly asked, "Or... or send someone to see the Ming generals and ask about the situation, why should we send troops to attack us?"

"Yes, the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire is the most concerned about face. Maybe after questioning, they may retreat in panic or not!"

“…”

Hearing these words, Ruan Phuc couldn't help but be furious and shouted sternly: "You are waste and you are waste. Since the Ming Kingdom has sent troops, how could you retreat easily? Don't forget that the traitor Mo Dengyong sold Annan to the Ming Kingdom. In name, our Annan is all the territory of the Ming Kingdom. What reason can they send troops be given? Maybe it's to quell the rebellion!"

Obviously, his mind was relatively clear, and he almost guessed the excuse of the Ming army sending troops.

After he said this, his ministers were silent again.

In the end, Nguyen Phuc made his own decision and immediately issued an order to withdraw troops from the front line and return to the aid nest.

No matter what, the old nest cannot be lost, and it will be taken back even if it is occupied by the Ming army.

In order to fear the morale of the front line, he did not mention the situation in the rear, but only asked the front line to withdraw its troops without reason.

Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin felt a little confused after receiving the order. They were about to conquer Shenglong Mansion. Victory is in sight, so why are they going to withdraw their troops?

To be honest, they were a little hesitant.

However, three gold medals a day urged them to withdraw immediately.

In desperation, Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin led their troops and had to withdraw their troops.

……………………

When Zheng Jian died of illness, Zheng Za took over his power and became the new generation of Zheng Lord. This was also a capable Lord. In the original history, he took advantage of the conflict between the two generals of the Ruan family, seized the opportunity of the fighter, 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 of it, he could only struggle to defend Shenglong Mansion.

What he never expected was that he suddenly withdrew his troops when he saw Ruan Jun gaining the advantage.

This news was really unbelievable, so he rushed to the front line to check the situation.
