"Your Highness, it's not good!" Xin said in a hurried tone, "The ambush soldiers in Lashio were defeated by the Ming army, and the whole army was annihilated!" ”

Hearing this, although Pindari was indeed a little unhappy, he was finally relieved in his heart. There was no best outcome, and this bad result was not expected.

Therefore, he waved his hand and said: "The Ming army is personally visited by the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, it must be the most elite and the highest morale, and it is normal that it cannot be defeated." Defeat is defeat! ”

As he said this, he turned his head to look at Taytayton, who was standing behind him. The meaning is very clear, there is such a person around here, whether it is my father or him, I haven't minded much.

Tai Tai swallowed the innocent lying gun, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Who knew that the messenger seemed to hear that Ping Dali had misunderstood, and hurriedly added: "Your Highness, the ambush soldiers were not defeated when they attacked the Ming army, but in the camp, they were attacked by the Ming army, and this is almost the entire army." ”

......Hearing this, Pindari was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe what he heard. When he came back to his senses, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" You say that the Ming army attacked the ambush camp? ”

The ambush attacked, and was wiped out by the army of the Ming State to protect the grain, which was completely annihilated by the Ming army in the camp, although the result was the same, but the difference was completely different.

"Back to Your Highness!" When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly said in a panic, "It wasn't the villain who said it, it was told by the soldiers who escaped, and they didn't know what was going on at the station, so they were surrounded by the Ming army and served a pot." ”

When Ping Dali heard this, he immediately said angrily: "What's going on, how could the Ming army know about that camp?" ”

Naturally, the messenger could not have known about this, so he had to bow his head and pretend not to hear it.

Tai Tai Tun on the side felt that he knew something, so he said to Ping Dali: "Your Highness, that side was originally the Mu Bang Division of the Ming Kingdom, and those Diao people were mostly towards the Ming Kingdom, and it happened that someone saw the movement of the ambush soldiers, maybe they had already paid attention to it, followed to the ambush station, and then reported to the Ming army!" ”

This explanation, I have to say, is also reasonable. Therefore, when Ping Dali heard this, he nodded slightly, but he still looked annoyed, and said hatefully: "I should have killed a few more batches in the first place, so that they would know how serious the consequences of annoying my Dongwu were." ”

Hearing this, Tai Tai Tun hurriedly agreed, and said with a look of the same enemy: "Your Highness is right, after winning the Ming army this time, the last general is willing to lead the troops over and kill a group of them fiercely, so that they will know the fate of betraying my Dongwu!" ”

There are many benefits to engaging in this kind of massacre. And by the way, he can also please this future king of Dongwu, and of course Tai Tai Tun will not miss this opportunity.

In this regard, Pindari also knew that there was oil and water, so he squinted his eyes and looked over.

When Tai Tai Tun saw it, he immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "The last general will go by His Highness's order, if it is captured, it will naturally be distributed by His Highness!" ”

The devil would believe that he would turn in all the seizures, but that was enough. When Pindari heard this, he smiled and nodded, and the agreement was reached.

A few days later, news of Sibo also reached the city of Ava.

When Pindari heard the messenger's message, he jumped up from his chair, his face changed greatly, and he shouted, "What? Not only was Xibo occupied, but even the ambush soldiers were served in one pot? What's going on, how can this be? ”

If Lashio was captured by the Ming army, in fact, Pindari didn't mind much, this Sibo was the last city to be counted before coming to Ava City, and he deployed heavy troops to defend it. Otherwise, the Ming army can't be allowed to drive straight into Ava City without much effort!

Unexpectedly, now that the messenger came to report the battle situation, not only was Xibo quickly captured, but even the ambush troops secretly deployed there outside the city were once again ended by the Ming army, which made Ping Dali a little unacceptable. The defenders before and after, including the ambush soldiers, were all wiped out, and the loss of this force was a bit large. If it reaches King Long, even if he is the son of the world, it will be a little difficult to explain!

When he finished asking, Pindari squinted at Taytayton on the side. The previous time, it was Tai Taytun who found a reason, and he thought it was right, so he believed it. This time, what will be the reason?

Before he turned his head to look over, Tai Tai Tun was actually thinking about this problem, and when he saw Ping Dali looking at him, he saw that he hurriedly asked the messenger, "What about Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui?" Did they tell the Ming army? ”

Sha Dingzhou, Wu Bikui and others were arranged by Ping Dali in this heavily defended Xibo. The purpose is still the same as that of King Talong who put Taitai Tun next to Pindari. They are more familiar with the Ming army, so they remind them that they believe that Xibo will be able to hold out for a longer time and consume the Ming army's food, grass and morale, even if it is defeated in the end, it doesn't matter.

Hearing this, Pindari was suddenly shocked, yes, maybe there is really such a possibility. Do you think that betraying Dongwu may be exchanged for the forgiveness of the Ming Emperor?

The messenger was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Back to Your Highness, the Ming army will attack the city at once, it was too chaotic at that time, I don't know what happened to Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui!" ”

For Donggo, Sibo is a city. But for Cao Bianjiao, a general who fought in the north of the Ming Dynasty, he was really not as good as the county town he had attacked before. For him, there are elite soldiers in his hands, and there are many ways to lay down this kind of small earthen village.

At this time, he couldn't get the desired result, so Tai Tai Tun asked Ping Dali and said: "Your Highness, the last general remembers that when the ambush was dispatched, Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui were not there. The matter of this ambush should only be known to the commander of Xibo. Could it be that he was not strict in his mouth, and he was heard by Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui? ”

He couldn't think of any other possibility, so there was only this explanation.

If you use the last reason, it is a bit far-fetched. Because although Xibo was also from Mubang before, it was the border of Mubang, and it had long been occupied by Dongwu. The people over there should not have more possibilities to move towards the Ming Kingdom like Lashio.

This time, after hearing this, Ping Dali did not let Tai Tai Tun go, but with a gloomy face, he shouted and asked Tai Tai Tun: "Then Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui were brought by you, and they dared to betray me Dongwu, don't you give me an explanation, don't you give my father an explanation?" ”

"......" Tai Tai was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He immediately understood that at this time, it was already a little difficult for Pindari to explain to him King Long, so he wanted to take the blame.

However, no matter what, this pot must not be carried!

Thinking so, Tai Tai Tun immediately said to Ping Dali with a bitter face: "Your Highness, the last general has been wronged!" At the beginning, Wu Bikui was in contact with the king, and when they were in Yunnan, they were indeed attacking Kunming City. In this case, how dare the last general not accept them and take them back to Dongwu with him? If you don't, what if the king asks? Other toasts who have the heart to make friends with Dongwu, will they be cold when they hear the news? The last general really doesn't dare to call the shots! ”

When Pindari heard this, he seemed to have a point. But even so, what so what, now that the army is lost, how can I explain it to my father?

He was thinking like this, but Tai Tai Tun understood his thoughts, and hurriedly suggested to him: "This continuous failure is not because His Highness is not scheming. Seriously, Your Highness's serial plan is used, and the last general dares to guarantee that I will never be able to think of anything other than the king......"

As soon as this sycophant was slapped over, it suddenly made Pindari's mood a little better.

Then, I heard Tai Tai swallow then change his words and say, "...... However, this time the Ming army is not trivial, but the emperor of the Ming State personally led the army to drive the expedition, and the army led by it must be the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty. Don't hide it from Your Highness, this last general can testify, and it is indeed very powerful. However, the Ming army is estimated to be like this, as long as this elite army of the Ming Kingdom is defeated, then if we encounter other Ming armies in the future, we Dongwu can fight very easily. ”

Listening to the reason, Pindari couldn't help but nod in agreement.

When Tai Tai Tun saw it, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the last general thinks that he can report this situation to the king, and play it according to the facts, and implore the king to send reinforcements quickly, and use the strength of my cave to fight to the death with the Ming army in Ava City, with the king's posterior move, this will definitely not be known, and it is even more impossible for the Ming Kingdom to know." In this way, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom can be defeated and His Royal Highness will be famous! ”

The reason why the decisive battle is in Ava City is also because Dongwu is mountainous, and the area around Ava City is the junction of the Dajinsha River and the Ava River, and it is one of the few grain-producing areas in Dongwu. If it weren't for the necessity, it would be impossible for Donggo to give up here. This point is the consensus of the monarchs and ministers of Dongwu, and Taitai Tun has such a saying.

When Pindari heard this, he couldn't help but groan.

As far as he is concerned, he sincerely hopes to win this battle with his own skills. However, thinking about it carefully, he felt that the Ming army was like a bamboo all the way, not only connecting the two cities, but even accurately ending the two ambushes that he was proud of. Although there were specific reasons, he was a little scared after all.

After thinking about it for a while, for the sake of Dongwu's future, in the end, Ping Dali nodded and said: "You are right, the troops personally led by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom are still a little weaker in terms of the troops I currently control. Even if the father is against the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, it is worth the father to use the soldiers of the whole country. ”

So, Tai Tai Tun's pot was successfully shaken off, and he was relieved to see that Ping Dali began to write a letter to King Long asking for help, asking for Dong Wu's national strength to defeat the Ming army.

But he didn't know that he threw off the pot for himself, but let the whole Dongwu carry a big cauldron.
