In the face of King Talong's inquiry, Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui were filled with righteous indignation, and their faces were excited, anyone who saw it could know that the two of them were most likely cheated.

"Your Royal Highness, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is very treacherous, he actually used our fields to buy those damned slaves, causing them to turn against the water, otherwise, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom may not win!" Wu Bikui said very hatefully.

Sha Dingzhou was similar, and as soon as Wu Bikui finished speaking, he complained loudly: "The fields are all our fields, and the dog emperor doesn't have to pay at all, so he bought those damn things." In the world, how can there be such a brazen emperor! ”

King Taron listened to the two of them's reply, and said something about the same as Tai Tai Tun. In his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief. Because according to what they said, when the two armies are facing each other, suddenly a large number of soldiers under them mutiny, it will indeed have a very big impact on the war, and it will determine the success or failure of the war.

He was thinking about it, but after hearing a sneer from Ping Dali, he said: "I see, it's not that my Dongwu army doesn't believe it, but that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is too treacherous." Hehe, this kind of thing won't work in my cave! ”

"Yes, the Dog Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is only unexpected, so he has such a trick, which may be useful to the Tusi who originally belonged to the Ming Kingdom, but if he wants to use such means on my Dongwu, it is wishful thinking!" Tai Tai Tun listened, and hurriedly echoed, and said to King Ta Long, "And the emperor of the Ming Kingdom also threatened that our Dongwu is a barbarian native, the frog at the bottom of the well, and occupies the Mu Bang and Mengyang of the Ming Kingdom, and he must take the royal conquest and step on our Dongwu." He also said that he wanted to ...... To ......"

"What do you want?" When King Ta Long heard this, he frowned and asked with a cold snort.

Tai Tai swallowed the questioning words, and then continued: "He also said that he would capture the king and the prince alive, and then put a rope around his neck, and lead him to the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom like a dog......"

......Hearing this, Pingda was so angry that he screamed, and even forgot to salute King Long, so he begged sharply: "Father, the Ming Dog Emperor is too deceitful. Erchen is willing to capture the dog emperor of the Ming Kingdom alive, put a dog leash on him, and give it to his father as a congratulatory gift at the birthday banquet! ”

King Talong was also angry when he heard this, and immediately nodded to his son and said sharply: "Okay, Gu will give you 100,000 horses, and give you another will to allow you to act cheaply in Mubang and Mengyang." ”

When Tai Tai Tun, Sha Dingzhou, and Wu Bikui heard this, they were all relieved in their hearts, and they glanced at each other, with an inexplicable meaning in their eyes.

For them, the last thing they want to see is when the Ming army pressed the border, King Talong was afraid and gave in. In that case, the responsibility for this shame must be borne by the defeated Tai Tai Tun. And Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui may have been captured by King Talong and presented to the Emperor of the Ming State to curry favor with the Emperor of the Ming State.

It was because they were afraid of this that the three of them discussed with each other on the way to Ava, not to emphasize too much on the elite of the Ming army, but to emphasize that the fundamental reason for the failure of the war was the rebellion of those slaves.

Just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard King Ta Long shouting to Tai Tai Tun: "The responsibility for the previous defeat, I will remember it for you first!" Now that you are more familiar with the Ming army and the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, you will go to war with the prince, and remind the prince at any time not to let the prince fall into the hands of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. If you can defeat the Ming army, whether you have caught the Ming Emperor or not, Lone can not only pardon you for the responsibility of the previous defeated army, but also give you credit, do you understand? ”

"Sin will be understood!" Tai Tai Tun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you for your kindness, the sin general will definitely assist the prince well, no matter whether you go up the sword mountain or go down to the sea of fire, you will never frown!" ”

When King Long heard this, he didn't care about him anymore, but turned his head to look at Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui, and said in the same cold voice: "The two of you will also go together, if you have something to pay attention to, remind the prince at any time." As long as you can win this war, I will allow you to reclaim your territory. ”

When Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui heard this, they also showed joy and expressed their gratitude to King Long with gratitude.

King Ta Long didn't pay much attention to it, turned his head to look at his son again, and said with an extremely serious face: "This battle is related to the fortune of my country, defeat, everything is suspended, and you and my father and son will be endlessly humiliated by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom; If I win, from now on, I will definitely become a great power! In this way, you must be cautious in this battle, remember what you said before, use land to drag down the Ming army, cut off the Ming army's food route, and do not directly confront the Ming army! ”

Although he didn't get any answer in the question just now, he didn't get any answer about how elite the army was, but he was not a fool, since the emperor of the Ming Kingdom would drive the expedition in person, the Ming army that came with him would definitely not be an ordinary army, but the most elite army of the Ming Kingdom!

In the face of such an army, King Talong still has self-knowledge. With the combat strength of the Dongwu army, if it is a head-to-head duel, nine times out of ten, it will not be the opponent of the Ming Emperor. However, the advantage of Dongwu lies in the favorable time and place, and there are people, in the face of the danger of losing the country, all Dongwu people should be the same enemy, use the jungle to harass and fight the Ming army, and finally defeat the Ming army.

"Father, rest assured, under the teaching of his father, his sons will definitely not disgrace their father!" When Ping Dali heard King Talong's advice, he immediately talked eloquently, "Destroy the roads, move the people, clear the wilderness, and drag down the Ming army." If there is a fighter plane, and then cut off its food route, it will be won in one battle! ”

"The son of the world is wise!" Tai Tai Tun listened to it on the side, and immediately sent a big sycophant, "This is the best strategy to deal with the Ming army, I didn't expect the prince to have thought of it!" ”

Pindari listened, turned his head to look at him, and his face changed a little better.

King Ta Long also nodded when he heard this, and told his son again: "Remember, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is treacherous, don't be deceived by illusions, and you must stick to this plan you set." You don't have to worry about this because you can fight a decisive battle, and you will send more troops to you. ”

"With my father in charge of the overall situation and strategizing, my sons and daughters are full of confidence, and they will be able to triumph!" Pindari replied loudly with his head held high and his chest held out.

King Ta Long was still a little uneasy, and after explaining and explaining, he let them retreat. Immediately afterward, he sent a decree to return to the capital and continue to collect military rations and troops, and to mobilize the strength of the whole country of Dong Wu to deal with this vital battle.

On the Ava side, it's Pindari who has the final say. One by one, his orders were issued, messengers, and armies continued to march out of the city of Ava, and troops from afar came to report to Pindari. In just a few days, the city of Ava was already a scene of war about to begin.

On this day, after the messenger hurried to make a proclamation, Pindari couldn't help but be furious: "What, dare to disobey my military orders? What a guts! ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned his head to look at Taitai on the side and shouted, "Give you five thousand troops, go and clean him up immediately!" ”

Hearing this, Tai Tai Tun said with a little hesitation: "His Royal Highness, he is also a tribal chieftain, a person valued by the king, and he usually pays a lot of grain and grass, or ...... Do you want to ask the king to ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw that Pingdali's anger value was about to burst, and he interrupted sharply: "This battle is related to my national fortune, and my father has given me full authority to deal with it." He even dared to rely on his own face, regardless of the overall situation, and disobeyed my orders to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness! This is the consent of my father, and he has told him so much that there is no need to ask for further instructions, so as to immediately cut off his dog's head and hang it on the head of Ava City, so as to set an example and deter other thieves who refuse to advance and retreat with Dongwu! ”

He said all the talk, and Taytayton had nothing to say. Moreover, he also felt that Pindari had a point. So, he got the military order and immediately went to carry it out.

This Ava region is the granary of Dongwu in the north. If you don't care about this place, in case the Ming army sneaks up here, you can get food and grass supplements.

In order to prevent accidents, Ping Dali not only wanted to clear the fields in the areas adjacent to the Ming Kingdom, such as Mengyang and Mubang, but also issued a military order to clear the fields in the Ava region.

Someone dared to disobey his military order, and just gave him an excuse, and he got to the knife edge of his new official, so naturally he would not show mercy.

Not to mention, this knife went down, and after the head was hung at the head of Ava City, the next military order of the fortified wall Qingye was carried out smoothly. When the news reached King Talong, King Talong not only did not reproach him for using the sword, but issued a decree to reward him.

In this way, Pindari's prestige suddenly reached a high point, and no one dared to disobey his military orders. Everyone, even if there is a complaint about it, it can only be hidden in the stomach.

…………

Emperor Chongzhen's side learned about these things through the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Tai Tai Tun's body, and at this time, he was actually still in Kunming.

I have to say that Dongwu's countermeasures are correct, if you dare to confront the Ming army head-on, it is a rusty brain.

However, even if Dongwu took the right countermeasures, Emperor Chongzhen was still as calm, neither anxious nor panicked, and let Dongwu make pre-war preparations. And on his side, he just straightened out Yunnan in an orderly manner before continuing to go south.

The reason for this is that the strategy of clearing the wilderness is not so easy to implement. It's okay to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself. It could even be worse.

For example, after the implementation of the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, the people's livelihood will inevitably be greatly affected. But if you can't defeat the enemy, you will lose your wife and lose your army.

Emperor Chongzhen asked Dongwu to toss himself first, and slowly led the troops south, and countered the saying that the soldiers were fast and fast, and on this day, it was finally almost to Mubang's side.
