In Fuzhou City, a stilt-stopping house in a small stilt house, a middle-aged man with a stubborn man was taken out by several Miao soldiers. The middle-aged man's eyes were a little confused, and he seemed to be full of despair about the future.

After an autumn rain, the road was a little muddy. The middle-aged man looked around in confusion and found that the current Fuzhou City was a little different from the past. There were busy soldiers walking around on the street, and mules carrying bags of food to the east.

The middle-aged man was taken all the way to the mansion of Shen Mingtong, the chieftain of Fuzhou. Shen Mingtong, wearing light armor, looked eager to try, and was surrounded by some Miao soldiers. In addition, there was Chen Yu, the Xuanzhengshi of Guangnan Prefecture, who was carrying a team of Han soldiers.

"Mo Jingkuan, I haven't seen each other for a year, okay?" Chen Yu asked.

The middle-aged man was mentioned with his name, and his eyes were a little brighter, and his lips moved slightly: "I was placed under house arrest by you in Fuzhou, separated from his subordinates, and lived a life of eating, drinking and waiting for death. Do you think I am okay?"

"But there are countless people who yearn for such a life. Without power, there is no need to worry about intrigue with other forces. You should enjoy such a life with your wife and children." Chen Yu said.

"That's because you have never experienced the feeling of holding weight, how can you be willing to be an ordinary person? Let's not talk about this for now, why do you still come to me? I'm just a useless waste now, right?" Mo Jingkuan felt a little sad when he said it.

He was originally the third largest force in Annan Kingdom, but after being attacked by Zheng Lord, he could only escape from the powerful China for protection. Who knew that he had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. He became a prisoner of the Jiuzhou Army, and his subordinates were also disbanded by the Jiuzhou Army and integrated into the local village of the Yunnan Provincial Administration.

"Our considerations for you will naturally have our own considerations. Didn't you entrench in the Gaoping area with thousands of troops? This time we want you to act as a guide and give us the way." Chen Yu said.

"Gao Ping? What do you want to go to our Annan Kingdom?" Mo Jingkuan was frightened by his own thoughts as soon as he finished speaking. He roughly realized what the Jiuzhou Army wanted to do!

"You...you don't want to invade our Annan Kingdom like the Ming army two hundred years ago!" Mo Jingkuan exclaimed.

"Annan Kingdom was owned by the Nanyue Kingdom during the Qin Dynasty. It was set as Jiaozhi in the Han Dynasty. Since ancient times, there has been a scope of our Chinese civilization. How could it be invaded?" Before Chen Yu could speak, Shen Mingtong, chieftain of Fuzhou, stood up and said, "Under the great country, you will be kings and millions of people will be emperors. Aren't you a frog in the well and a singular conceit? And you have frequently launched wars, causing the people to live in misery. We intend to recover the Jiaozhi Governor this time to save the people from water and fire."

Hey, your toasts frequently fight and chop each other up for water sources and prey. They are still qualified to say that we are? Mo Jingkuan looked dark, but Shen Mingtong was still standing at the moral commanding heights to attack him.

"We have many jungles in Annan, with strong people and strong customs. We are far away from the Central Plains. Even if you conquer them by force, we will not be convinced. Two hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty finally gave up the Jiaozhi Governor's Office is enough to prove this." Mo Jingkuan shook his head, not believing that the Central Plains regime could achieve effective governance in the distant Southeast Peninsula.

"Every time and time, everything is changing. If Brother Mo still looks at things today from the perspective of two hundred years ago, it is probably a thousand miles apart. In short, please let Brother Mo accompany us." Chen Yu bowed, "When you are our guide to Gaoping, I hope Brother Mo will not have any thoughts. After all, Brother Mo's wife, children, ministers, and tribe members are all in our Yunnan Provincial Administration. We don't want military orders at that time, and the heads will fall."

"You..." Mo Jingkuan couldn't help but be angry when he saw the Jiuzhou army threatening the lives of thousands of people, but he had no choice but to put down his fingers at Chen Yu slowly, "All things are subject to your arrangements. Where are we going?"

"Guangxi Provincial Administration, Zhennan Pass."

The majestic Zhennan Pass was built on the mountainous landscape to guard the southern border for the Central Plains regime. Zhennan Pass has always been almost always seeking no merits but no mistakes. As long as Annan does not take the initiative to cause trouble, the generals here will be happy to be peaceful. Sometimes when conflicts broke out between the two sides, Zhennan Pass will also send troops to go south to threaten the troublemakers.

After the Jiuzhou Army replaced the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army in Zhennan Pass was reorganized and dispersed into the newly established Independent Corps. These Ming soldiers were garrisoned Zhennan Pass for a long time, and were very familiar with the nearby terrain and their language. Some brave soldiers still pretended to be vendors and farmers went deep into Annan. After new training, for the Independent Corps, they were simply the best weapons to fight against Annan.

On the walls of Zhennan Pass, the Huanglong Banner symbolizing the Jiuzhou Army was rushing in the wind. Behind Zhennan Pass, there were barracks. The main force of the Independent Corps trained in Guilin these days has gradually moved south to Zhennan Pass. Now there are nearly 20,000 soldiers fighting alone, not including transportation troops and errands. Transport troops and errands are mainly led by the chieftains here, and they are familiar with the jungle and rainforest terrain.

In the main military tent, Chang Yi, the commander of the Independent Corps, and a group of generals of the Independent Corps were carefully studying the topographic map of Annan Kingdom. This topographic map was drawn by the Military Information Department and the Intelligence Department for a year and asked the local people. Although it was not as accurate as the modern map, there were only a few main roads in Annan Kingdom at this time, and the main direction was right. Under the guidance of local guides, it was not difficult to go from Zhennan Pass to Gaoping.

"Our combat goal along the way is to first capture the Gaoping area, and then move towards the north of Shenglong City. On the other hand, the deputy commander set out from the Yunnan Provincial Administration Office, went down the Red River, and met with us in Shenglong City. This battle was a test we carefully prepared for a year, and even the purpose of our huge independent corps was to conquer the countries in Nanyang. I hope you don't let me, let alone let down the military leader. Do you all understand?" The commander of the corps Chang Yi looked around everyone.

"Don't worry, Corps Commander, if 30,000 of us can't take Annan Kingdom in two groups, I will cut my head down and sit as a stool for you to sit." A general patted his chest and said.
