Guangxi, Guangxi Prefecture.
Compared to Zhu Zanyi's miserable situation.
Hu Weiyong's 100,000 strong army could be said to have a smooth sailing journey.
When the army went south, they almost did not encounter any effective resistance.
In just half a month, they had killed their way from Liu Prefecture to Nan Ning Prefecture's Xuanhua City.
After Hu Weiyong's army arrived at Xuanhua City, the army surrounded Xuanhua City but did not attack.
The magistrate of Nan Ning saw that the rebel army was strong, so he held fast and at the same time, called for reinforcements from the Nan Ning Elephant Taming Guards.
One of the ten guards under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Command Department.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to deal with the elephant formation of the Tusi of Luchuan, the Elephant Taming Guard was set up.
At the beginning, there were more than 20,000 officers and soldiers in the Elephant Taming Guard. The Marquis of Nan Tong was the highest military officer of the Elephant Taming Guard. He captured and trained elephants and trained the elephant army.
He commanded the left, right, middle, front and back five thousand households, with 90 officials and 5,600 flag soldiers.
It could be said that the Elephant Taming Guard was one of the strongest armies in Guang Xi.
Although there were only 20,000 of them, their combat power was comparable to an ordinary army of 100,000.
Furthermore, it was under the direct jurisdiction of the Guang Xi Capital's Commander Division.
It was a pity that the Guangxi Military Department was located in Guilin and was controlled by Hu Weiyong and Zhu Zanyi.
As a result, there was no one in charge of the various prefectures in Guangxi, and they did things their own way.
The Elephant Taming Guards were also unable to send troops because they did not have a transfer order.
Fortunately, the Elephant Taming Guard was stationed in Nanning.
If Xuanhua City was in trouble, they could still provide support.
Thus, after knowing that Xuanhua Prefecture was surrounded, Marquis Nan Tong urgently led twenty thousand Elephant Taming Guards to aid Xuanhua.
However, what the Marquis of Nan Tong never expected was…
Hu Weiyong surrounding Xuanhua without attacking was simply a trick to deceive others.
His true goal was to surround the point and ambush the Elephant Taming Guards.
Under the circumstances where he was unprepared, Hu Weiyong successfully ambushed him, killed Marquis Nan Tong, and annexed the Elephant Taming Guard.
With the addition of the Elephant Taming Guards, Hu Weiyong's strength increased greatly.
After that, they broke through Xuanhua City and took down Nan Ning Prefecture.
Xuanhua City.
At this time, Hu Weiyong led the army to Xuanhua City to repair.
Hu Weiyong was very satisfied with this battle. Not only did he take down Xuanhua City, but he also annexed the Elephant Taming Guard, and his strength increased exponentially.
This made Hu Weiyong full of confidence in his next step.
At this moment, he was in the Xuanhua City Magistrate's office, looking at the map and thinking about his next target.
Hu Weiyong had almost decided on his next goal.
He was prepared to take down Siming, Taiping, and Zhen 'an Prefectures.
These three prefectures belonged to the southern border of Ming and had a large number of border troops stationed there.
As long as they took down these three prefectures, they would be able to take in the border army and increase their strength.
Now, all he had to do was wait.
He was waiting for Zhu Zanyi to take down Wuzhou and meet up with him.
After taking down Xuanhua City, the army under his command had expanded from 100,000 to 150,000. Adding on the 20,000 Elephant Taming Guards that were equivalent to 100,000 troops, their strength was equivalent to 300,000 troops.
As long as Zhu Zanyi's side didn't encounter any accidents, when the two armies met, they would have about three hundred thousand soldiers under their command, which was equivalent to four hundred thousand soldiers.
In this way, he would be able to deal with the three prefectures easily.
At that time, when the border troops of the three prefectures were combined, they would definitely be able to pull up a team of up to 500,000 to 600,000.
This way, they would truly have the strength to compete with the Imperial Court.
Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong calmed himself down and asked his trusted aide,
"Has there been any news from His Highness?”
Hu Weiyong's trusted aide shook his head and said,
"Not yet."
Hu Weiyong frowned and said,"
"Did something happen?"
After all, it had been more than twenty days since they split up.
He had even taken down Xuanhua City, but there was no news from Zhu Zanyi.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. After all, compared to Nanning, the distance between Wuzhou and Liuzhou was only about ten days.
It had been more than twenty days, but there was still no news.
This made Hu Weiyong somewhat worried.
The trusted aide quickly comforted him,
"Old Master, nothing should have happened. After all, His Highness is bringing a hundred thousand soldiers.”
"In the entire Guang Xi region, which faction can resist an army of 100,000? Perhaps that Wuzhou stone is a tough nut to crack. If Your Highness wants to take it down, you might need to spend more time.”
Hu Weiyong didn't say anything, but pondered for a moment.
Then, he said,
"It's better to be safe than sorry. After all, this is the first time His Highness is leading an army into battle. We have to be on guard. How about this? Immediately send a team of cavalry to Wuzhou to see what the situation is like. At the same time, get the entire army ready to go south tomorrow!”
The trusted aide was stunned.
"Master, aren't you waiting for wangye?"
Hu Weiyong's eyes lit up."
"We can't wait anymore. Although uniting our forces will be beneficial for our next operation, we can't place all our hopes on uniting our forces. If something happens to His Highness, we can only rely on ourselves.”
The trusted aide nodded lightly.
"Yes, I understand. I will do it now."
