In Shenglong Mansion, Zhang Liangzhe, the governor of Guangdong of the Ming Dynasty, stood on the top of the city, watching the two Ming troops joining the camp at Shenglong Mansion, stroking the long beards under his forehead, and obviously very satisfied.

I really didn't expect that I originally thought it would be difficult to pacify Annan. After all, during the Yongle period of Chengzu, it took a lot of effort to conquer this place. But once Chengzu was gone, the court could not control it, so in the end, he had to admit that Annan was a vassal state.

"It's better that the Duke of the State has foresight!" Zhang Liangzhe looked at the scenery in front of him and had to say with emotion.

It was precisely because Duke Xingguo began to deploy in Annan early in the morning and sent secret spies from Jinyiwei to learn about the terrain and distribution of troops in Annan, and even took Portugal as a vassal state to allow them to serve the Ming Dynasty.

With these layouts as the premise, when an opportunity arises in Annan, Guangdong Province will immediately send troops. With the communication and cooperation of the Portuguese, they can easily capture their nests while the two major forces in Annan are fighting for life and death.

The imperial army from the sea arrived first, and the armies that attacked Annan by land were only one of them. After all, communication was inconvenient, and it took time for the military order to be passed. However, judging from the current situation, everything in Annan was under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

The only thing to do now is not to give the two major forces of Annan to breathe, and according to the Annan handling principle guided by the Duke of Xingguo: it is better to chase the remaining brave men and kill them while they are sick and directly destroy these two major Annan forces.

Therefore, Zhang Liangzhe did not give the army much rest and immediately made corresponding arrangements.

………………………………………

Yi'an was originally an important town controlled by the Zheng family in the north and also the dominion of Yi'an Road, but now it is in the hands of Ruan Jun.

Before, the Zheng army counterattacked the Ruan army and continued to counterattack to Yi'an territory, a sudden military order came. Therefore, the handover line between the Zheng army and the Ruan army was in Yi'an.

After a period of hard work, Zheng Jun and Ruan Jun finally achieved a truce. The leaders of both sides, namely Zheng Jung Zha in the north and Ruan Jung Phu Bing in the south, achieved a historic meeting in the important town of Nye An.

On the north side of Yi'an City are Zheng's army, Zheng Zao rode a horse and slowly drove his horse to Yi'an City under the escort of a general.

At the top of Yi'an City, Ruan's flag was flying, and Ruan's soldiers were standing there.

At this time, the north gate of Yi'an City was wide open, and Lord Nguyen Phuc was on the verge of the verdict, and under the escort of a general under his command, he slowly drove his horse out of the city.

In the middle of the two armies, the two former life-and-death enemies, who wished to cut each other into pieces, were both looking at each other with "feeling affectionately" and no one spoke.

Perhaps there were a lot of feelings, and for a moment, no one knew where to start!

And behind them, countless people also focused their attention on the two of them, staring at whether they would do anything under the public court?

After a long time, Zheng Za came to his senses first and immediately spoke with emotion: "I didn't expect you and I would meet like this!"

"Yes, I really didn't expect that you and I will meet like this one day!" Nguyen Phuc heard the news and sighed equally.

Zheng Za said the opening remarks, and perhaps the reason why he was anxious was so anxious, he directly said the main topic: "To be honest, the Ming army suddenly attacked, and now Shenglong Mansion has fallen into the hands of the Ming army. I believe that it should be similar on your side, right?"

Ruan Phuket immediately knew how anxious he was about Zheng Za's frankness. If it were normal, he would not mind taking the opportunity to threaten it to gain more benefits.

But at this moment, Ruan Phoenix did not have the intention and said openly: "Same, the reason why I suddenly withdrew my troops was because the south was suddenly attacked by the Ming Navy. Most important towns have fallen!"

The Ming army was really coming with great threat, which made these two generations of enemies let go of any plan and think about how to cooperate to deal with the Ming army.

After hearing this, Zheng Za nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the fisherman would benefit from the snipe and clam fight. We must not shake it anymore. We must cooperate sincerely to have hope of turning the world!"

"That's right, it's exactly this idea!" Ruan Phoenix nodded seriously immediately and said, "That's why I met you like this, hoping to turn the world around and fight back the Ming army!"

After hearing this, Zheng Za immediately suggested seriously, "I have already found out that the Ming army attacking our Annan was mainly the army of Guangdong Province of Ming, and the commander was Zhang Liang, the governor of Guangdong Province. Now he is in Shenglong Mansion. Therefore, I think, to capture the king first, you should unite your and my troops to attack the commander of the Ming army. As long as you and others retreat, you will retreat without attacking! What do you think?"

After hearing this, Nguyen Phucai shook his head and said, "As far as I have, the army attacking Annan is the army of Fujian Province, Ming Dynasty, and the navy transported it to a sudden landing. In my opinion, the logistics supply of the Ming army on this route is not easy, and we can unite our troops to win the victory!"

After the two of them said it separately, they completely disagreed. Suddenly, they fell silent.

Both sides knew very well that they wanted to regain their lair as soon as possible.

There is no way to convince the other party at once. If the stalemate continues, the situation will only become more and more dangerous when facing them.

Compared with Zheng Za, Nguyen Phuc was on the verge of being the master of the country for a longer time and had more experience as Nguyen. Therefore, when he saw that the two sides could not agree, he broke the silence and said to Zheng Za: "Then I will take a step back. I can agree to repel the Ming army in the north first. But there is one condition..."

"What conditions are there? Brother Ruan, please tell me!" Zheng Zha was overjoyed when he heard this and asked hurriedly.

This is when it comes to being intimate, and he starts to call him brothers and brothers.

In fact, their master was originally a father-in-law and son-in-law, but eventually became an enemy of generations.

After hearing this, Ruan Phuket said, "After all, my subordinates are from the south and are not familiar with the northern region. Therefore, when you counterattack the Ming army in the north, you should take your troops as the vanguard!"

"..." Zheng Za was stunned when he heard this.

He could hear that Ruan Phuket's words were actually complaining.

The main reason why Ruan Army was defeated by Zheng Army continuously during retreat was that it was not familiar with the northern terrain. It was not known at all that there were paths, or which roads were more convenient for the army to advance steadily, or to move forward in a hurry.

In general, it is reasonable and well-founded to Nguyen Phuc’s proposal. But the key to the problem is that the two armies are not real friendly forces, but just have to temporarily put aside the prejudices and unite with each other in the face of a strong enemy.

If the Zheng family was in front and Ruan Jun was in back, Ruan Jun would become the fisherman who was in the profit of the snipe and clam fighting. How could this be done?

After thinking about it, Zheng Za felt the pressure from Ming Jun, but decided to talk openly and tell him his worries in a realistic manner.

It’s true that Ruan Phuket actually really means being a fisherman. However, Zheng Za saw it and said it so frankly, he would not persist because he also felt very stressed from the Ming army.

So, Nguyen Phuc Bing said, "Since that's the case, then this way, the two armies can advance together, support each other, and defeat the Ming army. But..."

Hearing this, Zheng Zha couldn't help but be very happy and hurriedly said, "Please say it!"

"The problem of our military's food and grass is imminent. After all, the North is your place. Can you solve this food and grass?" Ruan Phuket asked, "Is it so acceptable?"

He had already taken a step back. If Zheng Za had not agreed, he would seem insincere.

After hearing this, Zheng Zao measured it in his heart for a while, and finally looked back at Ruan Phuket and said in a sincere tone: "Actually, my food and grass are very nervous, but since Brother Ruan is so reasonable, I gritted my teeth and accepted the problem of food and grass."

He felt that he could only send troops to collect more food and grass from the people. After all, if the food cannot keep up, the world will be taken away by the Ming army, and those people will be the people of the Ming Kingdom. Why bother with them?

If we could collect food and repel the Ming army, if we had soldiers in our hands, we would be afraid that those people would not rebel?

No matter what, it is a good deal.

Nguyen Phuc was not lying here. His rear was taken away and the front line retreated. There was no supply of food and grass, and a lot of losses were lost. Therefore, food and grass were about to bottom out, which also means that the army may mutiny.

Now that there is no need to worry about food and grass, he is very happy and immediately suggested to Zheng Zha: "You and I work together so hard, and we can only repel the Ming army when we eliminate each other's fineness and cooperation. Therefore, we vowed to the sky to become brothers of the opposite sex, how can we repair it forever?"

Of course, Zheng Za knew that this was not the time for each other to be suspicious and guarded. Nguyen Phuc-bin made this suggestion, which hit his mind, and immediately agreed.

So, the two held a grand swornship ceremony in front of the two armies to show the troops of both sides, so that they could know that the two families would be one family in the future and "dear" brothers.

History really has a very great inertia. The Zheng Ruan dispute was achieved by the two of them, and they agreed not to attack each other, and then the north attack Mochao, and the Ruan clan expanded its territory to the south.

Subsequently, the two armies began to adjust their positions and change to a method of advancing in unison. At the same time, the two armies also sent grain concessions and began to frantically collect civilian food for military use.

However, the entire Annan has been fighting wars from north to south, and there is already a lot of expropriation for the people. Then, before Zheng Lord launched a large-scale southern expedition, Ruan Lord launched a large-scale counterattack, and Zheng army pursued Ruan again. The back and forth, even the most prosperous places were ruined.

But at this moment, Zheng Jun and Ruan Jun collected food and grass again, and the people had no way to survive.

However, neither Zheng Za nor Ruan Phuket had any concerns about this. In their eyes, there was only the Ming army in the north.

On this day, they learned that the Guangdong governor of the Ming Dynasty led his troops south, with a total of only 20,000 troops. The troops joined by both sides were as many as 70,000.
