After King Gui Zhu Youlang and King Lu Zhu Changqing arrived in Guangxi, they caused trouble to the people of Guangxi. Originally, King Jingjiang was in Guilin, so they only harmed the people near Guilin. However, after King Gui and King Lu came, because the land of King Jingjiang was nearby, the two of them used their royal palace guards to collude with local bandits and horse thieves to seize the land of the people and do all the bad things.

Now these two kings have been hunted down by the imperial army. In order to stop the pursuers, they actually burned all the people's ships, causing the fishermen in the country to lose their tools to support their families.

Wang Quan and the others could not cross the river, so they had to cut down bamboo forests by the river and prepare to build bamboo rafts to cross the river.

Just when the night was not in a hurry, the main force led by Zhao Peng and others arrived.

Seeing his brothers busy in the bamboo forest, Zhao Peng stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you have to set up a raft and cross the river by yourself? There is no boat nearby?"

Wang Quan replied: "Marty, the two thieves ran across the river. They burned all the boats on the river. We can't get through, so we can only cut down bamboo forests to create bamboo rafts across the river."

Liujiang is a big river. In later generations, thousands-ton ships could reach Liuzhou. The Liujiang in the late Ming Dynasty would only be wider than the Liujiang in later generations, with a larger water volume, rather than smaller.

"The river surface is wide, with heavy waves and rapid water. It is best to cut wood and rafts. Cutting bamboo is also possible. You need to build a bigger one and cross the Liujiang River. It is not like playing with the bamboo rafts of the Li River. If you don't build a bigger one, you will have to climb into the river halfway." Zhao Peng said.

The soldiers were busy nervously, choosing the thickest bamboo for cutting down, cutting down the bamboo, cutting off the edges and branches, and then tied dozens of bamboos as thick as bowls together with thick hemp ropes to create a large bamboo tray. Zhao Peng asked the infantry to assist Ye Bucheng, and built ten large bamboo trays in one breath, and then helped Ye Bucheng carry the bamboo trays to the riverside and put them into the water.

The large bamboo platoon is seven zhang long and three zhang wide. Each bamboo platoon can allow ten cavalry and horses to go up, and two infantrymen support five zhang long bamboo poles to control the bamboo platoon to cross the river.

Wang Quan and the first group of people crossing the river at night led their horses to the bamboo tray. Then the soldiers who supported the bamboo tray pushed the bamboo poles to the shore, and the bamboo tray slowly drove towards the middle of the river. The soldiers supported the bamboo poles and let the bamboo tray cross the Liujiang River. The deepest part of the Liujiang River near Liucheng was only about four meters deep. The five-meter-long bamboo poles could be supported to the bottom. As long as the soldiers supported the bamboo poles, the bamboo tray could be allowed to cross the Liujiang River.

The first batch of 100 people crossed the river at night. The infantry responsible for supporting the bamboo platoon drove the bamboo platoon back to the other side, and then took the second batch of 100 people crossed the river at night. After transporting two trips, the two hundred people crossed the Liujiang River at night. Under Wang Quan's team, they rushed towards Nanning.

The soldiers responsible for supporting the bamboo platoon were busy for twenty trips (a bamboo platoon could transport ten cavalry or twenty infantry at a time). In the evening, all three thousand soldiers and horses crossed the Liujiang River.

Because it was getting late, after crossing the river, the army camped on the south bank of the Liujiang River and waited until dawn the next day to pursue the rebels.

At noon, Wang Quan and his team, who had already crossed Liujiang, chased towards Nanning, and chased for an afternoon. The two hundred nights did not stop and chased for eighty miles. After it got dark, Wang Quan and his team rested in the bamboo forest and continued to pursue the rebels early the next morning.

Because Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing burned the ships and caused some trouble for Zhao Peng, Wang Quan and their crossings, the distance between the pursuers was slightly widened, which allowed Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing to enter Nanning City smoothly. Ye Busuo, who were chasing, could not intercept them outside Nanning City.

Three days later, Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing's team came to the city of Nanning.

Since Nanning, located in the subtropical zone, is far away from the war-torn Central Plains and the unstable Huguang, there is a peaceful atmosphere outside Nanning City. In February of the lunar calendar, the north is still cold and cold, but Nanning is already in spring.

In the fields by the Yongjiang River, farmers were leisurely driving the big buffalo and busy in the fields. The farmers here took off their straw sandals and walked barefoot in the rice fields, with mud on their legs and pants covered in mud. What was really mud legs.

The buffalo made a low cry, and dragged the heavy sledge and was busy in the rice fields under the drive of his master.

When he saw Nanning City not far ahead, Zhu Youlang laughed: "As long as we have firmly established our foothold in Nanning, we can recruit local wolf soldiers, and we can also recruit elephant soldiers from Annan to deal with the imperial cavalry!"

The wolf soldiers and the war elephants were indeed elite troops with great combat effectiveness back then, and it would be wonderful to think about it.

The war elephants are extremely powerful. Just imagine that a large group of giants suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the cavalry did not dare to rush over. When the war horses saw the war elephants coming up with great strides, they would probably have been shocked.

When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty fought in Annan, the Mongolian cavalry met the war elephant, but were they beaten to throw away their armor and corpses everywhere?

But Zhu Youlang didn't know that in fact, war elephants were more likely to be frightened than war horses. After training, cavalry war horses can charge against whistling shells and flying bullets, but war elephants could never do it. To deal with war elephants, one is to scare them with a loud noise from firearms; one is to shoot rockets in front of them, ignite a fire, and cause them to frighten the group; another method is to stab the elephants in the nostrils. These three methods can make the war elephants frightened and defeated, and in turn trampled on their own infantry and cavalry.

However, whether it is a wolf soldier or a war elephant, it will be a matter for the future. Now Zhu Youlang’s top priority is to quickly enter the city.

The guards guarded by the Yongzhou military households in Nanning at the gate of the city were lazily standing at the gate of the city. These military households only knew the duty to guard the city gate, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to those of the local chieftains in Guangxi.

Suddenly, a team of fast horses galloped over. The two leading horses wore wingless black hats, red flying fish suits, and embroidered spring swords on their waists. Behind them were two guys wearing silver-edged black-winged crowns and yellow-brown python robes.

When have the military households guarding the city gate ever seen such a person dressed in a wingless black gauze hat, flying fish suit, embroidered spring sword, winged crown, python robe, jade belt, and military households guarding the city gate ever seen such a person? This kind of outfit is either rich or noble. The guards at the door dare not neglect, and of course they dare not stop him. They quickly put Zhu Youlang, Zhu Changqing and others into the city.

Zhu Youlang took his personal eunuch Yang Guotai, his personal bodyguard and the Jinyiwei of the King of Gui Mansion to head straight to the mansion of He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, in Nanning.

When they arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, several Jinyiwei shouted at the soldiers of the Governor's Battalion standing at the door.

The soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurried back to the mansion to report He Tengjiao.

After a while, He Tengjiao walked to the door of the mansion surrounded by a group of officials and soldiers from the Super League camp.

"Bold He Yuncong! I am here, why don't I go out to greet him?" Zhu Youlang asked without saying a word when he saw He Tengjiao.

When He Tengjiao saw that it was Zhu Youlang, he quickly knelt down: "The prince didn't know that the prince came from afar and could not leave the city to greet him. Please forgive me! The prince has apologized to the prince!"

Although He Tengjiao was upright and loyal to the court, he was still very stressed when he saw the two princes. So he knelt down respectfully and saluted.

After entering the mansion, He Tengjiao asked, "Why are the two princes not in Guilin, but come here instead?"

Zhu Youlang naturally did not dare to say that it was the imperial court's suppression of rebellion and captured Guilin. They were driven out, but Hu made up a series of tricks: "The Western thief general Zhang Kewang, and the two thieves of Zhang Dingguo attacked Guilin. The bandit army was powerful and could not defend Guilin, so they fled here."

The pedantic and stupid He Tengjiao believed it and cursed: "What an arrogant Western thief! He actually fought to Guilin! It was also the hateful Zuo Menggeng who led his army to surrender to Jiannu, which led to the emptiness of Huguang's defense, which gave the thieves the opportunity to take advantage of!"
