It drizzled until noon.

From time to time, ships with fire were floating on the river, flowing southward, and corpses in the water were seen everywhere, and were washed away by the river with all kinds of debris.

The killing on the beach was not over, and the enemy soldiers driven to the shore were crowded and unable to move. The water was also full of people, and people were squeezed into the deep water at every moment, struggling on the river.

People had already abandoned their weapons and gasped with their heads raised and their heads were like fish that were short of water. However, people were unable to stand firmly in the deep water. A wave came over or was squeezed by their companions around them and were washed to the middle of the river. The people wearing armored men rushed their heads out of the water for a moment or two and then sank. The clothes on the Annan soldiers without armored men were enough to soak in water.

In this short section of river, I don’t know how many people died at this time.

The situation of the Annan army defeated on the shore was also very miserable. Countless Ming army infantry were fighting to cut their heads, screams and cries were shaking. Some Annan army soldiers resisted dyingly with weapons, and would be killed in blood. Some gave up resistance was useless. The red-eyed Ming army households cut their heads alive with swords. The desperate screams made people frightened.

On the west bank of Zhujiang, many enemy soldiers were located in the rear and were not forced to the riverside, and ran straight south from land. However, the sound of horse hooves of the Ming cavalry was endless, and various cavalrymen were dispatching to pursue them.

...Zhu Gaoxu looked at the foggy south, and could not see anything in the distance, but he knew in his heart that the passing along the river was Qinghua City. The white mist seemed like a hole-opening gate, revealing the white light leading to the destination.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse's back and stood there since the beginning of this battle.

The rain was completely wet with his armor and clothes inside. At first, a personal military general wanted to set up an umbrella for Zhu Gaoxu, but he refused.

At this time, the elite cavalry of the central army were also wet and stood on the mud with their horses. The cavalry that was fighting did not ride horses when they were not ordered to attack, and everyone had to save their horsepower. The cavalry with the most well-equipped armor was the Guards of the Han Palace, but everyone did not even move in this battle.

The Annan army was defeated, but Zhu Gaoxu was neither surprised nor happy. This battle was doomed to the end before it even began...

"Clean the battlefield and go back to the camp to rest. After the rain stops, go to Zhuzijiangkou and accept the Annan army's hamlet." Zhu Gaoxu ordered. After saying that, he shouted twice and turned his horse's head.

The personal guards also boarded the horses one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the camp on the west bank and immediately wrote a military order and sent people to Zhang Fu's army in the rain. He ordered Zhang Fu to choose a day to go south and capture Qinghua! Even though Qinghua City was close, Zhu Gaoxu planned to keep his promise. If he wanted to deceive Zhang Fu, why did he have to show his affection at the beginning?

The spring rain continued for two consecutive days.

At this time, several officials from Annan Kingdom fled to the Ming army camp on the bank of Zhujiang River. They came in the rain, and the Ming army had not had time to go to Zhuzi Jiangkou Village after the war.

Annan military general named Ruan Jin reported to Zhu Gaoxu: "At this time, Qinghua City was filled with wailings, and the Annan army had no soldiers to fight. Someone advised the Hu family and his son to surrender themselves to their country to avoid being humiliated, and were killed by the Supreme King Hu Ji-chan! The Hu family may have to escape. The Hu family is resentful and hated to the core of the Ming monarch and ministers. He repeatedly said that if the Ming army "entered the enemy", the King of Annan must be Hu, and threatened to take revenge!"

Zhu Gaoxu disagreed and thought to himself: Why did the Hu family infuriate the Ming Dynasty instead of trying every means to gain recognition from the sect leader? Now that the outcome of the war has been decided, what is the use of these?

For several consecutive days, the Ming army camp was celebrating the great victory. In more than half a year, the Ming army destroyed Annan Kingdom!

However, Zhu Gaoxu was a little uneasy when he thought about his invincibility in this expedition.

Perhaps the real difficult place is not a battlefield where flesh and blood flows, but a magnificent temple.

...In early spring in Yunnan, the sun is bright and the climate is pleasant. In the stable city, the fragrance of flowers is floating on the streets and alleys.

At this time, a team of people came from the capital, led by a eunuch. This is not a strange thing. Although Yunnan is remote, officials from the capital often come to handle the work.

The eunuch went to Mu's mansion to ask for a meeting. Mu Sheng was very nervous at first and thought he was here to pass the order, but after welcoming the eunuch into the marquis's mansion, he learned that the eunuch was not here to pass the order.

Mu Sheng first asked the emperor and the empress Ankang, and then the eunuch's intention to come.

The eunuch said: "The emperor sent his servant to see the Queen of Xiping. He wanted to discuss two things with the Queen of Xiping in private. Good things!"

"Please say it clearly, my father-in-law." Mu Sheng clasped his fists.

The eunuch suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The King of Zhao and Princess Zhao have been married for five years, but Princess Zhao has not yet appeared, not even a man or a woman..."

"Ah?" Mu Sheng made a voice and didn't know how to respond. The emperor now has only three sons. Of course Mu Sheng knew about those things, but he didn't dare to say anything easily.

The eunuch immediately said, "The emperor wants to issue an order to give the King of Zhao, and let the Princess Zhao go away! I heard that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xiping is of the same age, well-educated, polite and obedient, and the emperor does not want to force it, so he sent our servant to come over first and ask about the Marquis of Xiping what he meant."

Mu Sheng pondered endlessly, and he felt that it was indeed a good thing after hearing it! But this kind of marriage is of great importance, so he acted very cautiously.

The eunuch smiled and said, "The Queen of Xiping is not in a hurry. We stay in Yunnan Prefecture for a few days first. You can think about it and then reply."

The eunuch then said, "Since we have this, the emperor has another meaning. Although Mu Bin, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xiping, is not yet married, the emperor wants to ask the Marquis of Xiping earlier. If the Emperor himself is a matchmaker in the future, the daughter of Zhang Fu, the daughter of Xincheng Hou, and Prince Ling, will Xiping Hou be willing?"

Mu Sheng pretended to be relaxed and smiled with a smile: "I have to give this to my mother for this matter, and the slutty is said to everyone. The slutty is not afraid to disobey at will, but the child is from the slutty, so it is always appropriate to say hello first."

The eunuch also said according to his meaning: "The Queen of Xiping is right. Don't worry too much. The emperor didn't say that he asked me to come and pass the order."

After the two of them finished speaking, Mu Sheng asked someone to settle the eunuchs and others. He paced back and forth in the study, wondering why the emperor suddenly took care of his children... Of course, it was for marriage.

King Zhao is the legitimate son of the emperor; Zhang Fu's father Zhang Yu is a confidant general who died in battle for the emperor. In this marriage, the emperor means to win over and promote the Mu Mansion?!

The good thing came too suddenly, which made Mu Sheng a little nervous.

However, he quickly found a reason: King Zhu Gaoxu of Han defeated Annan in more than half a year! The King of Han is of course also the legitimate son of the emperor, but his power is indeed a bit powerful.
