"Although I have been with Ah Lang for a long time and know some things about the Han people, I still can't understand that I won't fight for money." Dao Baifeng said.

"We're just more focused on the long-term good. Or that this little property is not in our eyes, and the lives of soldiers are more important. Zhu Yang corrected.

"And, the sooner I go back, the sooner I can have a wedding with you, and I can eat you. Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to see you dangling in front of me every day, but you can't eat it? He laughs.

Dao Baifeng's face turned red, and he hammered him with his fist and said: "You men are all the same, and you get along with women, thinking about these, whether they are Han or Dai. ”

Zhu Yang grinned, and was about to say something more, when he suddenly heard a loud shouting outside, and someone screamed.

He hurriedly sorted out his clothes and picked up his knife; Dao Bai Feng also picked up a spear and stood beside Zhu Lu.

Zhu Yang walked to the door of the big tent in a few steps and said loudly to the guards, "What happened?" ”

……

……

A quarter of an hour ago.

"Who are these people?" In the dense jungle next to the road where the Ming army was, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes spoke in one language. If Zhu Yang could hear this, he would find that he had never heard this language.

"They made the banner embroidered with what kind of script it was, but it was definitely not Mong, let alone Burmese." Another bald man said.

"And they have horses! Bago's army never used horses, they only used elephants. The middle-aged man who spoke earlier said.

"Could it be that Rathali has brought in reinforcements from the north?"

"Reinforcements from the north? Didn't the Bago people fight against the Avaites in the north? Can you bring in reinforcements from Ava? Someone questioned.

"What's impossible about this! Whether it is the Dai people of Ava or the Mon people of Bago, they were all slaves of our Burmese people back then, and they were very afraid of the resurgence of our Burmese people, so they took double precautions against the Burmese people. Now that we Burmese are raising troops, it is not impossible for them to unite and strangle us. ”

"So, they're the reinforcements that Rathra brought in from the north?"

"Nine times out of ten, how could there be such an army here?"

"In that case, then tell Sudirlenla right away that there are reinforcements from the Bago here, and attack them while they stop here now!"

……

……

"Your Highness, we don't know very well." The guard guarding the door nervously picked up the crossbow and replied as he swept his gaze.

Zhu Yang knew that his big tent was in the middle of the whole army and should be the safest place. So instead of leaving here, he sent a few guards to ask everywhere what was going on.

"But Your Highness, is your safety at stake?" One of the guards said. This time, Zhu Yang brought a total of sixteen of the best guards, but he had to send out six at a time, so there were only ten guards left to protect him.

"It's okay, Lone is standing near the door of the big tent, you don't have to divide your troops to guard the surroundings of the big tent, just guard here." Zhu Yang said.

Of course, Zhu Yang values his life very much, but at the same time, he also wants to know what happened immediately, so he adopts such a move.

Zhu Yang inserted the knife into the scabbard, took two spare hand crossbows from one of the guards, and took one for himself and gave one to the knife Bai Feng.

I don't know how long it took, two people wearing the costumes of Ming soldiers ran over to this side. But although they were wearing Ming military uniforms, Zhu Yan's guards still raised their crossbows and pointed their crossbows at them and said loudly: "Don't come close!" ”

The two people raised their hands and said loudly: "Your Highness, we are General Mu's guards, and General Mu asked us to pass on the word." ”

Zhu Yang carefully identified their faces, confirmed that they were Mu Ang's guards, and asked the guards not to fire crossbow arrows and let them come over.

The two men saw Zhu Yang bow and salute, and then immediately said, "Your Highness, just now, from the jungle on both sides of the road, there were suddenly countless ragged people rushing out with bamboo guns or other things. ”

"Because of the surprise, our army suffered some losses at first; However, their weapons are very rudimentary, and their strength is not great, except for a few people, most of them have little experience in fighting, our army gradually turned the situation back, and most of the people who attacked our army were killed, and some of them fled back to the jungle when they saw that the situation was not good, and General Mu was directing the pursuit. ”

"Have you found out who these attackers are?" Zhu Yang asked.

"Your Highness, not yet. They were all in tatters, and there was no uniform mark at all; No one could understand the shouting. One said.

"Find out who these attackers are right away." Zhu Yang said.

"Yes, Your Highness." They bowed again, and then returned to Muang.

After a long time, Mu Ang walked over to Zhu Yang.

Zhu Yang's first words when he saw Mu Ang were: "Have you eliminated all those attackers?" ”

"No," Mu Ang looked a little annoyed and a little ashamed: "There are too many poisonous snakes and beasts in the jungle, and many soldiers are attacked by wild beasts as soon as they enter the jungle, and they don't care about pursuit, except for a few people who ran behind, everyone else ran away." ”

"Damn, they must have carved a safe path through the jungle, but our army couldn't find it in a hurry."

"What about the identity of the attacker?" Zhu Yang asked again.

"There's nothing to see about at the moment. Although a few people were captured, they spoke neither Thai, nor Mon, nor Chinese. I've asked all the toasts to send someone to identify the captive. ”

"But they look like the rebels of the Bago Kingdom." Mu Ang said.

"What are the rebels of the Bago Kingdom attacking us for?" Zhu Yang asked puzzled.

"Maybe you mistook us for the Bago Army? I don't know. It stands to reason that there is a big difference between our Ming army and the Bago army, so we will not admit that we are mistaken. Mu Ang also said incomprehensibly.

At this moment, one of Mu Ang's guards ran over and said to Mu Ang and Zhu Yang, "Your Highness, General, you already know their identities. ”

"Who are they?" Mu Ang and Zhu Yang asked at the same time.

"Most of them are Burmese people in Bago."

……

……

"Sudirlenla, our attack has failed." A middle-aged man said to a dark-skinned man with his hands behind his back. However, it can be seen from the person's skin that he is not very old.

"Colendon, that's been expected for a long time, isn't it? Although the other side did not set up camp, they were all well-trained troops, and what we sent was a rabble. If we had a lot of bows and arrows, we might have been able to kill and wound many of them, but the bows and arrows were all used on the Bago army, and it was difficult to deploy enough bows and arrows for a while. Said the man known as Sudirlenla.

"Then why arrange such an attack?" Colendon asked, puzzled.

"Let them retreat from the difficulties, and do not get involved in our war with the Bago people. Although the Dai people of Ava were also one of the culprits who caused the collapse of our Burmese own dynasty back then, they are not in a hurry to deal with them now, and will deal with him when the Bago Kingdom is destroyed. Sudirenla said.

"What if they don't retreat." Colendon asked again.

"Then keep attacking. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Bago people, we sacrificed countless people to open up a lot of passages in the jungle. None of the local Bago people knew about it, let alone the Awa people who came from the north. Most of the roads here are close to the jungle, or these roads were carved out of the jungle back then, and we have countless opportunities to attack them. Sudirenla said.

"I've arranged for my eyes and ears to keep an eye on them in the nearby jungle, and if they don't want to retreat, I'll tell you again, so that you can arrange another attack." Colendon said.

Sudiron didn't speak again, just waved her hand. Colendon bowed and retreated.

……

……

"In other words, these people are Burmese living in Bago?" Zhu Yang looked down at a captive who was tightly tied to a chair and said.

Dao Baifeng translated Zhu Yan's words into Thai, and the Tusi Dao Ban Mian of Eight Hundred Dadian immediately said: "Yes, Your Highness, they must be Burmese people living in Bago. ”

"I am 800 Dadian bordering Dongwu (Donghu), and I am very familiar with the customs and language of the Burmese people, and his movements, and the language he speaks, show that he must be a Burmese."

"Then you ask him, why did you attack our army?" Zhu Yang said.

Dao Itamian said a few words that no one understood, and the captive tied to the chair raised his eyelids and lowered his head again.

This doesn't need to be translated by Zhu Yang to understand what it means. He sneered and said, "It seems that we have treated him too well. Wang Yong, you let him taste the punishment of our Ming Dynasty. ”

Wang Yongye sneered and took him out of the tent, and then there was a terrible scream from outside the tent. But the voice was immediately gone, and the captives were mostly gagged.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Yong returned to the tent with the captive. Although the captive had no visible injuries on his body, everyone could see that he must have been treated inhumanely.

Knife Plate Crown began to ask questions again. This time the captive replied very cooperatively.

After a while, Dao Ban Mian muttered a lot, and Dao Baifeng said to Zhu Yan: "Your Highness, he said that the captives said that they were Burmese people in Bago territory, and because they were unable to resist the oppression and discrimination of the Mongol people, they launched an uprising, and mistakenly thought that we were reinforcements to help the Bago people, so they attacked us." ”

"Are these Burmese people missing a string in their brains! Attack the army of the unknown enemy and mine, and get sick! Zhu Yang scolded.

As soon as Zhu Yang started scolding, everyone also followed up, and for a while, countless swear words in Chinese, Thai or Yi flew one after another. If a person happened to pass by this big tent at this time, he would not think that it was the noblest person from Yunnan to Burma now.
