Martial arts: longevity from the deer

That afternoon, the 12-year-old pure prince Longxi ascended the throne. Because the emperor was young, the queen mother listened to the government behind the curtain.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager named Duke Lu Ding Qin Ran as Regent, to take over the military and political power, and from now on, troops will be dispatched to suppress the rebellion!

The strange thing is, apart from causing waves in several provinces around the capital, this news did not attract much opposition.

It is true that the Qing rebellion is happening all over the place, and the local governments are too busy to take care of themselves, and they still have to count on Qin Ran to send troops to put down the rebellion, so they dare to speak out against it.

For this, Qin Ran would like to thank Wu Sangui and the others.

If Wu Sangui and other local vassals did not rebel now, and a Han person sat on the Qing Dynasty's regent throne, I am afraid that it would immediately attract countless opposition.

In addition, in order to buy people's hearts, Qin Ran redistributed the real estate and properties that were not easy to be converted to the ministers in the court, and distributed ten taels of silver to each soldier in the barracks as a military salary. To stabilize his influence in the army, he gained the support of the vast majority of soldiers.

At this time, Qin Ran had a total of 16 troops under his command, leaving [-] for Long Er to help her control the capital.

Qin Ran planned to take away the remaining [-] to deal with Wu Sangui's army.

The next day, Qin Ran, who was wearing a battle armor and holding a saber at his waist, stood in front of the commander's platform, listening to the sound of the flag being blown by the rustling wind.

Looking at the well-equipped soldiers standing neatly in front of them,

Qin Ran nodded in satisfaction, "Soldiers, this is a good time to make contributions and gain glory and wealth. After we put down the rebellion, there will be countless people who will be appointed as marquises and worship generals!"

"The regent is a thousand years old!"

"The regent is a thousand years old!"

I don't know who yelled first, and then, probably because of the money just distributed, there were voices of support one after another in the army.

Qin Ran nodded in satisfaction, and then he walked slowly to the general's platform, where a cow had already been prepared, and next to him was the military flag of the regent king.

bass!

Qin Ran pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed at the bull's head next to him.

puff!

Bull blood was splashed on the military flag.

"Sacrifice the flag! The army sets off!"

Immediately, the [-] troops set off in an orderly manner.

……

In the Pingxi palace of Yunnan, Wu Sangui squinted his eyes when he saw the information from the elaboration, "The Qing emperor is dead? Lu Dinggong Qin Ran is suspected to have become the face of the queen mother, took control of the government, and led an army of [-] to suppress the rebellion. Are you heading to Yunnan?"

Wu Sangui felt a little overwhelmed by the series of events that happened in the capital. He frowned, thought for a long time, and finally smiled softly, "This little emperor died just after reaching adulthood. The Qing court will always be in turmoil for a while. It’s a good thing.”

At this moment, a guard suddenly reported outside the door: "My lord, there are envoys from the Nine Difficulties in Sichuan asking to see you!"

"People from the Nine Difficulties Army? Why did they come to me?" Wu Sangui's expression changed, "Show them over!"

The Nine Difficulties Army is the armed army left behind by Qin Ran in Sichuan. It is also called the Nine Difficulties Army because it fought in the name of the one-armed god Ni Princess Nine Difficulties.

Not long after, a burly man came in. After seeing Wu Sangui, he bowed his hands without saying a word and bowed, saying: "I have seen King Pingxi, this time my lord sent me here to discuss together. It is a big event to join forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty."

"Oh?" After hearing what the envoy said, Wu Sangui showed a surprised expression, "Are you sure you're here to discuss cooperation with me? Jiu Nan thinks I'm one of his father-killing enemies, doesn't she hate me? "

The messenger smiled softly and said: "Master Jiu Nan is a female stream, how can she gather so many forces, we are only acting under her banner, the control of the army is still in the hands of my master, the hatred of the country and the family , it is still clear which is more important, even if you really want to deal with the prince, it will be after the overthrow of the Qing court!"

Hearing the envoy's bluntness, Wu Sangui couldn't help believing it, "I don't know who your master is?"

"Hehe, the time has not come yet, wait for the right time, the prince will naturally know the identity of my lord."

The envoy avoided this topic, "The army of the Qing Dynasty is coming soon. I came here this time just to ask King Pingxi whether to join forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty so as to increase the odds of winning."

Wu Sangui thought about it. Since he raised troops in Yunnan, he wanted to annex Sichuan immediately, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly appear in Sichuan an elite army holding high the anti-Qing banner, with a number of more than [-], which directly dispelled his idea of ​​marching into Sichuan. .

He didn't want to go shopping with other people before facing the Qing court, but because of the geographical location and the "Princess Nine Difficulties", he has been deploying troops to be careful in the direction of Sichuan.

If he joins forces with the Nine Difficulties Army, he will not only get an elite reinforcement, but also release most of the troops defending Sichuan. Wu Sangui believes that the Qing army is ahead, and Princess Nine Difficulties will definitely not attack him at this time.

The combination of the two is absolutely beneficial in a short period of time without any harm.

Thinking about this, Wu Sangui stood up, "This envoy, please sit down, let's talk about the details of joining forces to fight against the Qing army!"

……

A few days later, Qin Ran couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face when he saw the information sent by the pigeon, "Wu Sangui, the old fox, finally took the bait. He probably never thought that the anti-Qing should be the strongest Ninth Army, but actually You are with the Qing government's counter-insurgency army, haha!"

That's right, the Nine Difficulties Army took the initiative to join forces with Wu Sangui, which was planned by Qin Ran. When the two armies confront each other, if the Nine Difficulties Army backstabs Wu Sangui's Yunnan army at a critical moment, it can definitely change the entire battlefield situation immediately.

After more than ten days of marching, the army finally arrived in the Hunan area, facing the coalition formed by Wu Sangui's Yunnan Army and the Nine Difficulties Army.

At this time, Wu Sangui had occupied the entire territory of Guizhou and most of Hunan. The vanguard army alone had 15 people, plus the 18 troops, the strength was as many as [-].

On the surface, the army led by Qin Ran is at an absolute disadvantage.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, a carrier pigeon descended from the sky and flew into the tent. Qin Ran untied a note from the pigeon's leg.

Looking at the information on the note, he couldn't help but smiled slightly.
