From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 746

All the way south, fleeing madly.

He kept on going, and An Fuman didn't care whether the soldiers could keep up.

His courage was broken. He had no ambition now, no desire to dominate the southwest, he just wanted to survive.

Unfortunately, the pursuers behind him were too close. The 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in Fushun Prefecture were all chasing him. They didn't care about Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng at all.

Fang Qian was also a fool. Why didn't he take advantage of the emptiness of Fushun Prefecture and attack the city directly? This way, at least he could help me divert 20,000 pursuers!

They are all fools!

They are all useless!

It's too difficult to cooperate with them, and nothing can be accomplished.

An Fuman was full of resentment. When he encountered a problem, he subconsciously shouted: "Mr. Guo! Mr. Guo..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and he remembered that Mr. Guo had betrayed him and had fled without a trace.

"Why are they still chasing!"

An Fuman couldn't help but shouted: "Didn't you say Zhou Yuan was dead! Didn't you say that no one could escape if your master took action!"

"Then why didn't Xiang Yong withdraw his troops? He is Zhou Yuan's most loyal lackey!"

Dan Zeng frowned, and was a little confused. Logically speaking, if Zhou Yuan was such a big figure, the other party should have turned back.

Could it be that they were so cold-blooded that they would force the mission to be carried out even if the commander was dead?

"He may not know!"

Dan Zeng said in a deep voice: "Master, Zhou Yuan will definitely die, but Xiang Yong and others don't know Zhou Yuan's death at all."

An Fuman hurriedly said: "Then I will send someone to tell them."

Dan Zeng said: "At this time, will they believe it?"

An Fuman obviously thought of this and couldn't help but sighed and said: "The Tusi soldiers are still too weak after all. Once the formation is messed up and they are killed by the other side, their mentality will collapse directly."

"I have 60,000 troops, and they only killed tens of thousands at most. Even if we count the melee with Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng, I lost more than 20,000 people at most, but now most of them have fled ", only these three to five thousand people are left to follow me."

Dan Zeng said in a deep voice: "You only need to defend Guiyang Prefecture. The other side will definitely withdraw their troops when they know the news of Zhou Yuan's death."

An Fuman sneered: "I can't defend Guiyang Prefecture with just these three to five thousand people? The Huguang Jiedushi brought countless people and is now in Zhenyuan Prefecture. Once they attack Guiyang Prefecture from the west, I will have no way out."

At this point, he said coldly: "I am now at the end of my rope and there is only one way to go."

...

"They have arrived at Bijiewei."

Xiang Yong and Zhou Yuan rode their horses side by side, following the army and rushing forward.

At this point, the victory in the southwest has been established, and only the final finishing work is left.

The Tusi of Adu and the Tusi of Wumeng are handed over to Ye Qingying and Wang Ang. They will devote their youth to complete the transition and handover of power. In the future, Deng Su will send officials to implement the new law.

The primary goal now is to completely eradicate An Fuman's remaining forces, recapture the entire Guizhou, and bring Shuixi back on track.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Although the armies of Yunnan and Huguang did not enter Guizhou, they definitely put huge pressure on An Fuman. He only has a few thousand remnants left, and I'm afraid he won't choose to wait for death in Guiyang Prefecture."

Xiang Yong smiled and said: "He will die wherever he goes now. People's hearts are scattered. Even the few thousand people left are constantly fleeing. If he can't find a place to rest within two or three days, these people are afraid that they will all run away."

"At this moment, An Fuman has no way to go up to heaven and no way to go down to the earth."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "No, he still has one last way, a shameful way."

Xiang Yong's face changed, and after thinking carefully, he glared and said: "No! An Fuman is going to Shuixi! He wants to hold Shuixi Baizhai hostage and confront us."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Three to five thousand elite soldiers, Although it is not enough to rule Shuixi, it can hold at least a few large camps hostage, threaten the people of Shuixi with human lives, and help them defend the Xiangshui River. "

"It will be very difficult for us to deal with it at that time. If we force our way through, I don't know how many Miao and Yi people will die. If we don't fight, An Fuman can occupy Shuixi for a long time and oppress the people, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "No hesitation, I will take all the cavalry and rush to Shuixi as quickly as possible, and ambush on the banks of the Xiangshui River, waiting for An Fuman to come!"

Xiang Yong changed color and said: "Jie Shuai can't do it! There are only 600 cavalry in the Fushunzhou garrison. If you lead them personally, it will be considered as an isolated army going deep into the depths. If you are caught by An Fuman, the cavalry will not be able to play a role at all on the Xiangshui River with complex terrain. I am afraid that they will be surrounded and annihilated by An Fuman."

"At that time, An Fuman will be in trouble.Fuman can use the military commander as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the court, and there will be no problem in defending Guiyang Prefecture. "

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "If An Fuman has the ability to capture me alive, I will give Guiyang Prefecture to him!"

Xiang Yong said: "What if there are other masters who want to assassinate..."

"Do you think that there are masters of the level of Bayan Luohan everywhere in the world!"

Zhou Yuan was furious when he thought of this, and gritted his teeth and said: "Now that the old monk is dead, the masters in the world are all my people. If another one appears, let's see if I can kill him!"

He rushed out on horseback and shouted: "Cavalry! Follow me! Go around from the south to Shuixi! March at full speed! "

Xiang Yong opened his mouth, but dared not speak any more. Once the commander made a decision, he would not look back.

Six hundred cavalrymen, and their fighting quality was very average. The terrain was not conducive to cavalry fighting, but at least there was one advantage, which was that they were faster than running on two legs.

After Zhou Yuan rushed out of Zhenxiong Mansion, he no longer went to Bijiewei, but went directly south to Xiangshui River.

They galloped all night until dawn, and then they let the soldiers stop to rest.

After resting for more than an hour, the horses were full and watered. , after a short rest, they set off again.

All the way to the westernmost of Shuixi Baizhai, in the dense forest, their speed suddenly slowed down, because the horses could no longer run on such a rugged mountain road, Zhou Yuan and his men even had to dismount and lead the way.

But after walking through part of the mountain road, when they reached the flat path in the river valley, they could trot again.

Soon, Zhou Yuan saw the dense figures on the other side of the river.

An Fuman's army also arrived.

"Follow them! Wherever they cross the river, we will ambush there!"

At this point, Zhou Yuan shouted: "Where is the cavalry captain? Tell me if there is anyone familiar with the terrain here!"

The cavalry captain hurried over, feeling a little excited, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Marshal, Marshal!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Is there anyone familiar with the terrain!"

The cavalry captain shook his head and said: "No, no... We Han people have rarely been to Shuixi. "

Zhou Yuan said: "Send ten riders to the nearest village to find young people as guides, and let them show the way to Baihua Village and find Grandpa Murong."

As he spoke, he tore off his clothes.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Do you have a pen?"

The cavalry captain said awkwardly: "How can I bring a pen when I go out to fight? Besides, I can't read."

"It's okay, give me your hand."

The cavalry captain handed over his hand.

Zhou Yuan took out a golden knife from his arms and cut his finger, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Marshal Yuan...you..."

"Don't talk, don't move."

Zhou Yuan held his hand and used blood as ink to write on the cloth.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Let your people take this cloth and give it to Grandpa Murong. Time is urgent, don't delay."

"Tell the young people who lead the way that you are Cai Ni Amei's people, and they will help!"

"Go quickly! "

The cavalry captain nodded quickly and rode towards the nearest stockade with nine men.

He walked a long way before thinking...why didn't the marshal cut his finger...
