At this point, this relaxed and pleasant, almost one-sided slaughter-like battle has finally ended.

There were more than 4,000 Zheng soldiers, who were almost powerless to fight back, were killed on the spot by the Tang army. The entire white shipwreck was covered with blood and corpses everywhere, which was very terrifying.

A total of more than 5,000 Zheng soldiers were eliminated, and all of them knelt down and raised their hands, obediently becoming prisoners.

The Tang army sang happily, and the cheers rushed to the clouds. Zheng Hongkui and others who were riding a boat away from the coast could hear such cheers, but the pain and sourness in their hearts were even harder to describe in words.

Damn! What kind of bird battle is this?

This sudden battle was defeated so completely and cowardly, which was completely beyond his imagination.

Unexpectedly, the Tang army suddenly defeated the Annan Zheng army so quickly and suddenly occupied its coastal port during this period of time when they returned to China to mobilize troops. Even if they make such a sudden change, they would not have expected it in advance.

Perhaps, when the Tang army was so well prepared and so cleverly hidden, the ending was already destined as soon as they got ashore with the 50,000 soldiers.

You should know that the Tang army's raid was so hidden and sudden that they were both unprepared and unprepared. In the hands of most soldiers on the coast, because the incident happened hastily, they did not even have basic weapons for self-defense. Such an unprepared army would not completely fail or be completely slaughtered on the side.

Thinking that he had just led his troops to ashore, he was determined to show the military presence of his troops in front of Annan Zheng's army, but he never expected that he would quickly fall into the trap of the Tang army and was caught off guard by him. He was defeated and was unable to deal with it anymore, so he had to escape on a boat again.

Such an extremely embarrassing thing, such an extremely shameful defeat, would have happened to him, the most strategic figure of the Zheng family, which made Zheng Hongkui feel extremely embarrassed.

He gritted his teeth and punched him hard on the side of the ship.

"Hmph, such a great revenge! Some family will avenge you in the future! You will never be careless!" Looking at the distance, which had become a blurred coastline again, Zheng Hongkui cursed gritted his teeth.

However, after this trip, does Zheng Jun really have a chance to come to Annan again?

Of course, Zheng Hongkui, who was furious, knew that hope was actually very slim. Now, he had to consider how to explain to Zheng Zhilong after the destruction of these 50,000 elite soldiers was destroyed. The most important and urgent thing was to do.

Once the 50,000 Zheng army was destroyed, the Tang army had no worries and immediately mobilized their troops and rushed straight to Shenglong City.

The Tang army besieged the city and recruited many Annan natives on the spot to build fortifications and build forts, and prepare to start a strong attack on Shenglong City.

At this time, the Zheng family's palace was filled with miserable clouds and mist.

Zheng Zha, the head of the Zheng family, sat on the dragon-headed chair with a dull expression, like a puppet.

At the stairs, the generals under his command, Zheng Hui and Zheng Hua, both of them lowered their heads and looked dejected.

At this time, they had heard the terrible news that the Tang army was pretending to be Zheng's army at Taiping Port, luring 50,000 Zheng Hongkui's troops on the shore, and launched another raid to defeat them in one fell swoop.

The news came to the palace and almost lost its mind. I don’t know how to deal with it next.

The Tang army was connected one by one, and the poisonous plan was one by one. Not only did the Zheng family in Annan continue to decline, but the reinforcements of Zheng Hongkui's troops, who had their greatest hope, were completely wiped out.

All three of them knew that Zheng Hongkui's troops were completely destroyed by the Tang army, so they would definitely work together to attack Shenglong City.

In this way, Shenglong City is in danger!

Although there are more than 20,000 soldiers in the city now, there is no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. It can be said that it is a turtle in the jar and there is no possibility of victory at all.

Moreover, Zheng Za and others received another news, which was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart.

That is, in the south, the Ruan clan had mobilized a large number of troops and attacked the southern boundary of the Zheng clan with all their might. The land in the south was plundered by the Ruan clan. The urgent documents flew over like snow. Zheng Zha, who was surrounded by Shenglong City, had no choice but to think about it in the face of the Ruan clan's robbery.

what to do?

Now the situation is so difficult, how should we act?

There was a dead silence in the hall.

The three of them were silent, but they couldn't help but look at each other secretly, trying to see their true thoughts from their expressions.

Such strange psychological guessing made all three of them feel very uncomfortable. This embarrassing situation was finally broken by the head of the family Zheng Za.

He sighed and said slowly: "Everyone, now I am Annan, first lose the northern border and then the seaside. In the end, I rely on the capital Shenglong City and were closely surrounded by the enemy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is surrounded by enemies and is as dangerous as the enemy. After thinking about it, I am afraid that the Tang army will do its best to attack my Shenglong City soon. Can you two have any good solutions to resolve such a dangerous situation?"

Zheng Zha's question made Zheng Hui and Zheng Hua look at each other, not knowing what to answer.

Zheng Hua pounded his hand heavily and replied tentatively: "The head of the family, to see, the only way to defend the city is to go all the way. Apart from that, what can we do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Za was speechless and just stroked his beard.

Zheng Hui, who was beside him, slowly stood up and bowed to Zheng Zha: "Master, please tell me bluntly that if you only defend this Shenglong City at the moment, it will be difficult for us to defend it. The final situation must be that our Zheng family will be destroyed with Shenglong City and there will be no remains."

Zheng Za's face twitched violently, his face looked very ugly, and he replied embarrassedly: "What should you do if you think?"

Zheng Hui gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Head of the family, I am so frank. If we want to save our lives and our lives, if we want to protect our Zheng family's foundation, the only way is to seek peace from the Tang army."

Ask for sum?

Can you really ask for peace?

"Zheng Hui, as a general, you say such backboneless words. Wouldn't it be a shame to say?! There are still 20,000 troops available in Shenglong City, and a large number of young and strong men help to defend the city. How can you just believe that our army will lose?" Zheng Hua, who was standing beside him, asked without hesitation.

"Hmph! Zheng Hua, you said this lightly. Are you really not sure about the current difficult and dangerous situation?" Zheng Hui said coldly: "Our army has been defeated many times. All the soldiers and horses in the city are remnants of defeated soldiers and generals gathered from all over the country, and their morale is not worth mentioning. Such soldiers can only act like to fool the people. How can they fight against the Tang army with real swords and guns? Besides, the Tang army has extremely powerful artillery help. It is said that they have everything they can conquer and be invincible in Yunnan. Although our Shenglong City is stronger and more steep than other cities in Annan, how can we resist such fierce artillery attacks from the Tang army? Haven't you ever thought about these questions? "

Zheng Hua smiled sadly and sighed: "General Zheng, I really didn't expect that you would be afraid of the Tang army even if you had never fought with the Tang army before! I think there are more than 20,000 soldiers in my city, but you don't even have the courage to fight, and just think about surrendering to the Tang army immediately. It's really ridiculous! I think Young Master Zheng has a spirit in the sky. Seeing that you are still so timid and incompetent today, I'm afraid you will die with your eyes."

"Oh, Zheng Hua, whatever you say. I am accused of being a stigma, how could I care about you saying a few more words? In short, the head of the family thinks that the current situation is stronger than others. With this lonely Shenglong City, you will never be able to fight with the Tang army for a long time. If you are forced to fight with the Tang army, then I, Zheng, have no other way of life except to destroy myself. Where can I go? I hope the head of the family will think deeply!"

When Zheng Hui said this, he sighed and bowed. Zheng Zha, who had been silent in the upper head, continued to remain silent.

He knew that what Zheng Hui said was the truth, and Zheng Hua's words, after all, were just a struggle for injustice in his heart.

In other words, now that reinforcements are all destroyed, even if the Tang army does not attack the city, it will only surround the city in vain and can still surround the Shenglong City to death.

This is a sad and helpless ending.

Zheng Za's face was stiff and silent for a long time. Finally, he spoke: "What Zheng Hui said is reasonable. Now the situation is better than others. I am afraid that the safety of my Zheng family is here. Let's do this. Let's send you as a representative to go out of the city to negotiate with the Tang army. Remember, as long as I can protect my Zheng family and Annan, the conditions proposed by the Tang army can be agreed."

Zheng Hui stood up, tears flashed slightly in his eyes. He bowed and replied in a deep voice: "Yes! I will never let down the entrustedness of the head of the family when I go here."

Soon, Zheng Hui sent someone to shoot arrows into the Tang army, expressing his desire to leave the city to negotiate.

After receiving a letter from Zheng Hui, the commander of the Tang army, Huang Degong, was caught in thought without realizing it.

Just two days ago, Huang Degong had just received a letter from Li Xiao.

In the letter, Li Xiao asked him that if it goes well, in addition to completely destroying the remaining troops of the Zheng family as much as possible, he also strives to occupy the entire Red River Plain.

Because Li Xiao attaches great importance to this plump and fertile land. The rice yield in the Honghe Plain is ripe three times a year, and the output in each season is much larger than that in Guangdong, Taiwan and other places. It is a rare high-yield rice area in the world today.

Such a plump land was lost from China in the Song Dynasty. Although it returned briefly in the early Ming Dynasty, because the people in its local area had formed a strong sense of separation, the land that returned was trapped in repeated turmoil for more than 20 years. In the end, the Ming Dynasty could not bear the rebellion in the local area and had to withdraw its troops from the local area. Therefore, after a brief return, Annan, the ancient Chinese land, broke away from China again and became a foreign vassal state.

Li Xiao believes that the situation formed in history must be changed.

Li Xiao decided to destroy all the Mo family who was in charge of his own, the Zheng family who was attacking, and even the Ruan family in the south, without leaving any of them, and to regain the Annan land as the inherent sacred territory of China.

The instructions he gave to Huang Degong were to temporarily return troops after destroying the Zheng family, first capture the western part of Guangxi, and then immediately go south to attack the Ruan family, occupying the entire Annan.

As for the future, Li Xiao plans to lead his troops south again and directly attack the already very weak Champaign, and occupy all the Mekong River Basin, the same fertile and rich rice-producing area in Champaign.

The reason why Li Xiao was determined to take over the entire Annan and Chameng was that in addition to controlling the two world's best rice-producing areas, he actually saw that since he left China, he had been ambitious and had acted unjustly, and would not be stable in such a place without taking decisive measures.

Therefore, Li Xiao planned to take this opportunity to completely occupy the entire Annan and Chameng, and immigrate all the local indigenous people overseas, and then move them from the Central Plains to the Han people to achieve long-term stability in the region.

After taking Annan and Champa, the expansion of the Tang army in the Indochina Peninsula can come to an end. For the Zhenla, Nanzhang, Siam and other countries in the Indochina Peninsula, they will implement the original policies of the Ming Dynasty that make them vassals and continue to respect China's original policies, so that the Indochina Peninsula can be stable for a long time and no more wars.

Huang Degong thought about it for a long time in the tent, but finally had a decision. He immediately asked his military envoy to go and pass the message, allowing Zheng Hui to come to the tent to discuss peace.

Zheng Hui received permission and immediately took several entourages out of the city. As soon as he left the north gate, Tang army soldiers came to lead the way, leading and monitoring them all the way, and came to the tent of the Tang army commander Huang Degong.

After entering the account, the guest and the host were sitting down. After the host and the guest introduced each other, Zheng Hui sighed and said straight to the point: "General Huang, your army is now driving around in Annan, as if you are entering a state of no one. My Zheng family is incompetent and not enough to fight against the heavenly soldiers. Now there are only the lonely city of Shenglong and some places in the south, which is really unbearable. I think that my Zheng family has ended up in this situation today, and it is not a surprise to others. I hope your army can pity us and allow me to negotiate. This is not only the only intention of my subordinates, but also the original intention of my family. I hope that the general will never stop the sacrifices of my Zheng family, and give me a way to live."

Seeing Zheng Hui speak so earnestly and pitiful, Huang Degong couldn't help but want to laugh, and at the same time, he felt indescribable emotion.

Unexpectedly, the Zheng family of Annan, as the largest force in Annan, has always been disobeying the Chinese control. Now that they are losing battles and losing streaks, they have to beg for peace from themselves without dignity. How can such a change of arrogance at first and a respectful person at the end not be laughed at?

Huang Degong coughed lightly and said slowly: "Since General Zheng made this statement, he could recognize the current situation in time and have a good vision. If a peace agreement can be reached, it would be a blessing for both the army and the people of Annan. However, General Zheng must have prepared for the conditions for peace negotiations. So this town wants to listen to your conditions first and then discuss it in detail. Wouldn't it be better?"

Zheng Hui smiled bitterly, thought for a while and said, "General Huang, let me tell you directly. In the opinion of my head, if we can stop the war and the two countries are discussing peace, then my Zheng family can agree to transfer all the Annan land in the north of Shenglong City to your country. I hope that this way will make your country agree to peace and silence the troops. My head of the house sincerely discusses this time, but I don't know what kind of respect is?"
