Chapter 482 Northern Dynasty
Outside the city of Qinghuafu, the Mo family camp in the Northern Dynasty.

"Wu army is attacking?"

In the handsome tent, the candles were dimly lit. Mo Jingdian, the emperor of Qian in the Northern Dynasty, was dressed in a military armor and knelt behind the desk.

On the table of the real power commander in the Northern Dynasties, apart from the battle reports from various armies, there are only two volumes of Art of War, which are "Secret Biography of Wan Jiezong" written by the famous general Chen Guojun more than [-] years ago. Ji, summarizing the successes and failures of ancient wars, compiled with some Taoist secret techniques, is Mo Jingdian's favorite.

Annotations are drawn everywhere in the opened book, which is in line with Mo Jingdian's experience in several Southern Expeditions, and even surpasses the wisdom of the original book.

Mo Jingdian put down his pen, and the sound of Guteng County's artillery bombardment could be faintly heard in the distance, he frowned slightly, and did not speak, even the few generals who rushed over from the commander's tent did not dare to make a sound, only his cronies Signal to the orderly to retreat to wait outside the tent.

The Wu army in his mouth is the Ming army.

During the ten-month period, Lin Manjue led his troops to attack in the mountains and forests near Qinghua, and Mo Jingdian's attention was drawn to the failure of the battle, but he was not sure who came; The attack made Mo Jingdian even more convinced that this was the second enemy to join the battle besides the Southern Dynasty.

But only this time, the battle from Guteng County allowed him to confirm that this was indeed the Ming army, and they came in large numbers.

King Qian of the Northern Dynasty, who was over fifty years old, changed his sitting position in a slightly more comfortable position. He covered his left fist with his right hand, clenched his fist, and tightened his cheeks. How can you invite the Ming army to help in the battle?

"It has been 29 years since my brother died of illness."

The generals in the tent didn't know why Mo Jingdian mentioned the former emperor Xianzong at this time. It was a time of crisis, but Mo Jingdian's prestige in the Northern Dynasty was unmatched, no one dared to interrupt him, some generals nodded and said: "Your Majesty It is said that it has been 29 years since Emperor Xianzong passed away."

"The old man remembers very clearly that at the time when Zheng Jianchu was in power in the Southern Dynasty, and my prince in the Northern Dynasty was fighting for the throne with King Hong. It was a precarious time. For three consecutive years, he went to the Northern Expedition twice, and I couldn't stop him. Then Ruan Huang left the town of Hue, It made me unable to attack the south in the north, and in the next 11 years, he made seven expeditions to the north, putting me in danger every time."

"The Northern Dynasty lost Hue and Qinghua, and lost more than [-] troops. This is my crime, but I dare not kill myself, because I have no face to see my elder brother under Jiuquan."

"Your Highness!"

A group of generals in uniform beat their chests and stamped their feet when they heard this, but Mo Jingdian raised his hand to stop him, and said: "Four years ago, Zheng Jian also died, and now it's my turn to lead the army of the Northern Dynasty to the Southern Expedition, four years, four Southern Expeditions , They are busy fighting among themselves, Zheng Jian's eldest son Beiben, and his second son Zheng Song won the power, which is my deepest concern."

"Ruan Huang fled to the south to recuperate. Now Ruan Juanwei Nhe'an and Qinghua are the turtles in the urn. This is the closest time our Northern Dynasty has succeeded in the Southern Expedition."

Mo Jingdian opened his palm, which was beginning to show his old age, trying to grab something. He clenched his fist, his eyes straightened, and he almost asked through his teeth: "At this time, why did Wu Jun come to attack me!"

"A truce. Send lobbyists to Guteng County with heavy gifts, take advantage of this opportunity to withdraw soldiers and horses from Guteng County to Hexi, and ask them what they are going to do and what the greedy Wu people want."

For Mo Jingdian, this encounter was very confusing at the beginning, there was no way, Chen Mu's navy moved faster than land troops, Ruan Juan had not yet led the defeated army back from Nghe An, and Yu Dayou's offensive had just entered Sheng Long, there are hundreds of miles away from Qinghua.

Without letters of war, tens of thousands of Ming troops marched into the frontline battlefields of the Northern and Southern Dynasties with horses, boats, and guns. This kind of thing is unimaginable in the eyes of Mo Jingdian, the most outstanding commander of the Southern and Northern Dynasties at this stage.

And the overlord's style of going to war as soon as he shows up is even more disgusting.

When the news of Mo Jingdian's request for a truce reached Guteng County, the battle situation was not clear enough, because the Ming army's offensive to the county camp had not yet fully started, but it was only a matter of time before the Ming army won. Chen Mu was also very happy that Mo Jingdian could understand current affairs cease fighting.

"Why did the Ming army come to Annan? After your general returns, he will ask the commander of Annan, why did they kill the envoy of the Nanyang military government?"

Commander Annan is the title given by the Ming Dynasty to the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and it is also the title and official position of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty when he has been paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.After Mo Dengyong rebelled, he begged for surrender from the imperial court. As a punishment, Annan was reduced from a subordinate state to a territory, the king became the commander of Annan's capital, and the thirteen departments became the thirteen divisions.

In fact, it is still included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but this piece of land is actually not controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

The descendants of Mo Dengyong also proclaimed themselves ministers to the outside world and emperors to Jianyuan.

Negotiations were done by officials under his command, soldiers and horses were stationed in Guteng County, military affairs were deployed by Deng Zilong along the west side of the river, Chen Mu went up to the watchtower and looked over the river, Mo Jingdian was not idle either.

Negotiations were held in Guteng County, the two armies temporarily ceased fighting, and Chen Bu's army set up camps across the river to face each other. Mo Jingdian was obviously ready for a big fight if the peace talks failed.

Under Chen Mu's binoculars, soldiers from the Northern Dynasty from the direction of Tsinghua Mansion continued to bypass the high mountain on the west side of the river, meandering along the narrow road at the foot of the mountain, and marching to the river bank to form formations.

Even in the further direction, the main army that came from the sea to report Mo Jingdian's siege of Qinghua gradually let go in one afternoon and began to move to the northeast.

Deng Zilong was fiddling with a seven-foot Yanyue Knife from the battle. The wooden pole alone was almost as tall as his height. The big knife weighing more than ten catties was swung in Deng Zilong's hand like lightly, and the small tree with the mouth of the bowl was chopped off , really couldn't help chopping, Chen Mu relished watching it.

When Deng Zilong was in the middle, Chen Mu walked down the watchtower and asked, "Where is your brow knife, how do you use it?"

Seeing Chen Mu coming, Deng Zilong handed the Yanyue Knife to the soldiers, and said to Chen Mu: "Their knives are heavy, they are used by infantry to chop off horse legs and elephant trunks, the knives are heavy and heavy, not horses fighting long knives, I asked, Mo Jingdian has a team of warriors under his command, use this."

"My brow knife is only nine catties, and it is already considered a heavy knife on a horse. They can't ride on a horse. If a sergeant wears heavy armor, he can charge without fail, but it is a target for a musketeer."

Deng Zilong clapped his hands and said: "How about you, handsome, do you still want to fight?"

"Look at them." Chen Mu really didn't expect that Deng Zilong was trying to test the enemy's strength. He thought it was a momentary itch, and said, "Pan Gongji won't be tempted when he heard my promise to guard Nhean and Thanh Hoa for him. He and Zheng Song in Tsinghua is bound to have conflicts, and now Mo Jingdian must be called to cease fighting, and he must be withdrawn, but he cannot be allowed to return to Shenglong."

"If he doesn't want to, he will continue to fight."

Chen Mu looked at the camp set up by his banner army logging along the river, turned his gaze back to Deng Zilong and said, "We will further weaken Mo Jingdian's power and strength, otherwise it will be difficult for others to take over Shenglong."

Deng Zilong looked at the other side with concern, and said: "Once there is another battle, our flag army will definitely rush across the river, but it is easy to be flanked by the enemy, so send some troops to the other side?"

"You and I thought about it together. I plan to let General Lin lead his troops on a boat. Once the battle starts, he will lead his troops to disembark on the other side of the river to make the attack and defense easier. I will attack them!"

　Good morning!
