I don't know how long later, Li Guotai woke up slowly, only to find that he was lying in a clean room.

He subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, and saw a person who looked like a medical officer, who was carefully changing the splint to Zhu Cixuan, who was in a coma, and then carefully tied it with a bandage.

Seeing Zhu Cixuan like this, Li Guotai struggled to sit up, but was held down by a soldier next to him: "Don't move, the medical officer said that your bones are injured and you can't move lightly." ”

"How is the child on the other side, let me go and see." Li Guotai struggled to sit up.

When he shouted, the medical officer opposite who was bandaging Zhu Cixuan heard it, so he turned around and said, "Don't get up." The child's calf was shot off by the Burmese arrows. Now I have taken out the arrowhead, applied the medicine to the broken bone, and am putting a splint and bandage on him. Alas, the boy has lost so much blood that he is still in a coma, but do not disturb him. ”

"And what about the child's recovery in the future?" Li Guotai asked anxiously.

The medical officer sighed again: "Well, it's hard to know. It can only depend on the child's own recovery. After stitching up the wound this time, he will have a high fever for several days, and it is unknown whether he will survive in the end. ”

After listening to the words of the medical officer, Li Guotai's face turned gloomy, his heart was sour, and he remembered that the child had followed him all the way, and fled back to China from Myanmar through all kinds of twists and turns.

At this time, some soldiers hugged the general they had seen on the bridge before, and Li Guotai hurriedly got up, but was held by the general.

"You don't need to say more, the letter in your arms has been urgently sent to General Liu Liangshun, the deputy mayor of the ninth town, to read it, and he asked me to wait for a good life to entertain you. And in this closed place, you can recuperate in peace. ”

"Oh, then when did General Liu see that there was an urgent matter under him and wanted to pass it on to King Tang." Li Guotai said urgently.

"Lord Qi is now in the border area to recruit and suppress the rebel Tusi, it is estimated that he will return to the pass in the near future, and he will meet you then."

Li Guotai sighed lightly, nodded and thanked him repeatedly, and the general comforted him a few words of warmth, and Fang led his troops to leave.

Three days later, Liu Liangshun, the deputy mayor of the ninth town of the Tang Army, returned from the rebellion and immediately summoned Li Guotai, who had recovered.

At this time, Zhu Cixuan, who was in a coma with a broken leg bone and serious injury, also struggled from a high fever, but he was lucky and saved his life.

It's just that this ancient broken bone splicing is not as good as modern times, and it is really difficult to say what state Zhu Cixuan's leg injury will be restored to in the future.

When Li Guotai saw Liu Liangshun coming, he immediately relayed all the words confessed by Zhu Youlang that day to Liu Liangshun.

In the end, he said in an almost pleading tone: "I hope that King Tang, for the sake of the Ming royal family, will send rescuers into Burma regardless of the previous suspicions, eradicate Mangbai, and rescue King Gui, our family is willing to guide the guide and open the way for the army, even if he dies, there is no complaint!" ”

Liu Liangshun nodded: "Don't worry, I will return to King Tang as soon as possible on this matter, and I believe that King Tang will definitely make a decision as soon as possible." Rest here for a while, and you will be rewarded in the future. ”

Liu Liangshun immediately flew a pigeon to deliver a message, and quickly reported Zhu Youlang's secret letter and Li Guotai's return to Tongyu with Zhu Cixuan, and quickly reported to Li Xiao, the king of Tang.

Two days later, Li Xiao received a message from the flying pigeon, and after reading the letter in a hurry, he couldn't help but look thoughtful.

Sure enough, as expected, in the country of Burma, Na Manbai is really like in real history, killing his brother and nephew, snatching the throne from a pool of blood, and becoming the new king of Myanmar.

As soon as this ruthless guy came to power, as in history, he took Zhu Youlang, who lived in Burma, and actually slaughtered and plundered Zhu Youlang and his group as in history.

Thinking of that Zhu Youlang, in order to escape from the Tang army, he fled to Burma with great hardship, and finally after being slaughtered by the Burmese, he had to turn his head and ask for help from himself.

It is conceivable that after discovering that Li Guotai and Zhu Cixuan have absconded back to China, those Burmese soldiers will immediately return to Mangbai, and as soon as Mangbai gets the news, they will definitely persecute Zhu Youlang and others who let Li Guotai come back, and even take their lives.

In this way, even if he sends troops in time, he doesn't know if Zhu Youlang and his party can hold out until the time when they send troops to attack Ava, the capital of Myanmar.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

So, should you really send troops and horses to attack Burma as Zhu Youlang asked, to overthrow the Mangbai regime, and then rescue Zhu Youlang?

After some consideration, Li Xiao finally decided that he would immediately send troops to conquer Burma and go all out to crusade against this small southwestern country.

This is not to say that Li Xiao has any good feelings for Zhu Youlang personally, but there are deeper reasons.

That is, the country of Myanmar, especially its southern region, is extremely fertile and rich, and it is a world-famous rice-producing area in later generations, and it is extremely rich in all kinds of minerals.

What's more, now that the Tang Army is famous, it can launch an attack on Burma in a grand manner under the slogan of doing the right thing for heaven, shoveling the hoe and rebelling, and saving the clan, and such a good opportunity is not available at any time.

And as long as you take Myanmar and eradicate Mangbai, things like saving Zhu Youlang can be done by hugging the grass and beating rabbits. Of course, as for whether Na Zhu Youlang can survive smoothly to the day when he conquers Burma, it is unknown.

Li Xiao made up his mind and immediately ordered that the troops and horses of the 10th and 11th towns in the southwest region should march south from Sichuan, pass through Yunnan, and attack Burma with Li Guotai as the lead.

Originally, Li Xiao planned to send more elite old troops, such as Monk An's second town and Huang Degong's ninth town, to fight in Burma together. However, he took into account that the Ninth Town was now stationed in Yunnan, Guangxi, and Annam, all of which were areas that had not yet been stabilized and could not be moved lightly, and that the troops were scattered and stationed, and that it would take a lot of time to assemble, and that it would take more time to hand over to other troops, and that it would be more convenient to choose another military town.

Although Monk An's second town is all in Sichuan, the soldiers and horses of his second battalion have lost more than half of their troops in the attack of Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000-strong army in Langzhong.

Therefore, the most suitable mobile troops that Li Xiao can draw now are Zeng Ying's Tenth Town Soldiers and Horses, and Mo Changrong's Eleventh Town Soldiers and Horses.

The soldiers and horses of these two towns, in the battle of attacking Sichuan to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom, are basically as an auxiliary, there is not much consumption, and the soldiers under them are also unwilling, hoping to make contributions again, so it is very appropriate to send soldiers and horses from these two towns to attack Burma.

What's more, these newly built military towns also urgently need to be sharpened in the war, and they can't always be in a state of fighting. If you can mature and grow quickly in the battle against Burma, even if you pay a certain amount of human sacrifice, it is still very worthwhile.

At the same time, Li Xiao decided to relevy the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan-Yunnan Tusi who obeyed him but had not yet completed the land reform and returned to the stream, and together with the Tang army, a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses, from the copper and iron pass into Burma, to conquer Mangbai.

Li Xiao's strategy is also to let those who are obedient to themselves can contribute to themselves as much as possible. After all, these people were familiar with fighting in the mountains and mountains of the southwest, and with their help, the Tang Army would have a useful supplement.

Of course, if they suffered losses in the process of attacking Burma, Li Xiao would not treat them badly, and would also compensate them reasonably and generously in accordance with the Tang Army's pension regulations.

A sharp blade quietly lifted up at the head of the Burmese king.
