Li Xiao's plan was set, and he immediately gave an order, ordered the troops to act according to the plan, and immediately sent troops to set off.

The 120,000-strong army, just over half a month, was all assembled. The efficiency of the Tang Army's actions is truly amazing.

Among them, the soldiers and horses of Zeng Yingbu, the tenth town of the Tang Army, gathered at the Tiebi Pass, ready to rush across the Qingteng Bridge on the Sino-Burmese border under the leadership of Li Guotai, who had already recovered, and went all the way to attack and kill the Burmese national barbarians. After taking Manmo, he went south along the Ilova River, all the way to capture the cities of Jesha, Xingu, etc., and went all the way to the capital of Ava, Burma.

The soldiers and horses of Mo Changrong's Department in the Eleventh Town of the Tang Army were all assembled at the Hanlong Pass in Ruili, preparing to go straight south from here and attack Mubang directly. After they wanted to take Mubang, they would cross the river along the south and attack to the southwest, and after taking the cities of Xibo and Zhijiao, they would go straight to Ava City, and join the soldiers and horses of the tenth town of the Tang Army to attack Ava.

In fact, when it comes to the combat strength of the Tang Army, no matter which Tang Army it is, it is more than enough to deal with the Burmese army with backward equipment and poor combat effectiveness alone. However, in order to take the Burmese border as soon as possible, Li Xiao still decided to launch an all-out attack on Burma with the momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit, striving to defeat the Burmese army in the shortest possible time, eradicate Mangbai, and achieve the grand goal of unifying the Burmese territory forever as Han territory.

At the time when the Tang army was assembling on the Sino-Burmese border, the Burmese king Mang Bai had received an urgent message from the border pass, telling him that Na Zhu Youlang had sent personnel to smuggle back to China, and now on the Sino-Burmese border, a large number of Tang troops had gathered, and I was afraid that it would be unfavorable to Burma.

The Burmese king Mangbai, who got the letter, suddenly jumped like thunder. He tore the letter to shreds with a few clicks, his face hideous and twisted.

"Bastard Zhu Yulang! I will not kill you, you wild dog under the fence, but I will spare you a dog's life, and you are still not satisfied. He even sent people back to collude with the Tang Army, intending to come to Burma for me, I really should cut you with a thousand knives, and I can't solve my hatred! Mangbai scolded sharply, his teeth gritted loudly.

"Come on, quickly escort Zhu Youlang into the palace, I have something to say, I have to ask this wild dog well!" Mang Bai looked hideous: "Then kill all the people in their village, except for Zhu Youlang's family, and leave no one behind!" ”

"Order!"

Soon, a large number of wolf-like Burmese soldiers rushed out and quickly surrounded Zhu Youlang's village in Manmiaoxin.

Seeing the return of the Burmese soldiers, Zhu Youlang, who was sitting in the room, suddenly fell sharply in his heart.

It's over, it seems that Li Guotai and his entourage must have known about the return of Li Guotai and his entourage to China, and then, I am afraid that they will do something to themselves.

He guessed correctly, and soon the shouts and laughter of the Burmese soldiers resounded all over the village, followed by the screams of his subordinates, followed by the clanging of swords and the dull sound of porphyries piercing into the human body.

Hearing these terrible sounds, Zhu Youlang's heart was like a knife.

These bastards have really attacked the inhabitants of the village again, and they pity these people who have fled to Myanmar after them, although they are lucky enough to earn their lives from the last massacre, but in the end they will not escape their deaths. Perhaps, this time, I can't escape bad luck.

He knew that the Burmese soldiers must have come at the behest of the cruel and vicious Burmese king Mangbai, and they would slaughter all the inhabitants of the village. Since they can kill all the villagers, they naturally won't let themselves go easily.

Just when Zhu Youlang was panicking, the princess had already walked out of the inner room with her young son and slowly came to him.

"King Gui, it seems that we are going to die here today." The princess's voice trembled, and there was an indescribable sadness.

And the five-year-old child next to her was even more frightened, and his whole body was trembling. The horror on the poor child's face, craned his neck to look at the knife-wielding Burmese soldiers outside the gate and the fleeing residents, was almost indescribable.

Seeing the situation of the mother and son, Zhu Youlang was also very sad, he forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, it is also a good thing that we can leave here together." I was able to go to the underworld together, and I finally had a companion. ”

The princess also cried and said: "The cheap concubine has followed King Gui for many years, and the blessings she should enjoy have been exhausted, so what worries can't be let go." It would be a blessing to be able to leave together now. It's just that he pities this child, he's only six years old, and he's going to ......."

The princess's words were no longer spoken, and she was interrupted by her own crying. Listening to the princess's words, Zhu Youlang's heart was like a knife, and the family couldn't help but cry with a headache.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that a large group of Burmese soldiers were walking all the way to their room.

Zhu Youlang was startled, turned his head to look, but saw that the main thing had changed into a tooth, and he was leading a team of Burmese soldiers, murderously entering from outside.

At this moment, an unprecedented courage rose from Zhu Youlang's heart.

Zhu Youlang stood up and shouted at Changing Tooth Jane: "Changing Tooth Jane, you ungrateful and ruthless dog slave!" Are you going to bring someone to take the life of my family? Hmph, let me tell you, I am the bold king of Gui, the king died and had dignity, how could he die in the hands of you. Get out of the way, let my family take matters into their own hands! ”

Hearing this, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly: "Don't worry, King Gui, we are not here to commit murder." It's just that my king wants to see King Gui, so he specially ordered me to come and invite him. ”

Zhu Youlang was stunned for a moment, and then said sharply: "Invited? You are waiting to kill all my subordinates, slaughtering the entire village, and now you are coming with such a momentum, and you still say that you are invited? Don't say anything wrong with me, I'm not afraid of death, and wait for me. ”

Seeing that he had such strong teeth and hard teeth, Jian Jian was annoyed in his heart, his face changed instantly, and he also shouted in a deep voice: "Zhu Youlang! Don't give a damn shame! Let me tell you, if you hadn't secretly sent someone back to China to report the news, my king would not have been so angry as to slaughter your men to vent his anger. However, if you are lucky, the king still wants to spare your family's life. But if you don't lift it up, I'm afraid you'll die a very ugly death. ”

After changing teeth, Jian no longer looked at Zhu Youlang's pitiful appearance with a pig's liver color, and turned his head to order to the soldier next to him; "Tie up Zhu Youlang and escort him into the palace to see the king of Burma. The rest of the people, etc., stay here for the time being, and take care of their wives, and there shall be no mistake. ”

"Order!"

Changing Teeth Jian ordered his subordinates, and the Burmese soldiers under his command who were like wolves and tigers immediately rushed down and quickly tied Zhu Youlang with five flowers.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! You bunches! You have the ability to rush to this king! Zhu Youlang struggled hard, but to no avail, he was forced out of the door by the Burmese soldiers.

Behind him, it was the continuous crying of the princess and the young son, which made Zhu Youlang, who was taken out of the room, feel like a knife, but before he could turn back, he was pushed away by a group of Burmese soldiers.

Along the way, Zhu Youlang saw corpses everywhere in the village, and saw the thatched houses in the village that were set on fire by the Burmese soldiers, and the hatred in his heart was difficult to express in words.

An hour later, Zhu Youlang was escorted to the Burmese palace by the Burmese soldiers, and in the main hall of the Meinan Palace, he saw the Burmese king Mang Bai on top of him.

Zhu Youlang looked at him coldly, neither kneeling nor saluting.

Seeing him so stubborn, the Burmese soldiers who escorted him to the temple were very angry, and they immediately cursed loudly, punched and kicked Zhu Youlang, and tried to force him to kneel.

And the reckless white sitting on the dragon chair was also very angry in his heart, but in order to show his bearing and dignity, he could only suppress the anger in his heart, waved his hand, and let the Burmese soldiers retreat from the palace.

Zhu Youlang, who had been beaten to the point of bleeding from his mouth and nose, struggled to get up from the ground again, his eyes were like the barrels of a fire-breathing gun, staring straight at the expressionless reckless whiteness.

"You are Zhu Youlang?" Mang Bai asked coldly.

Zhu Youlang wiped a handful of blood foam from the corner of his mouth, and then asked with a sneer: "I am the King of Daming Gui, you are a small country in the middle of the country, a usurper, what do you have to ask me?" ”

Mang Bai only felt that his heart was pierced by a sharp thorn, and he couldn't help but want to attack again, but he still suppressed himself, and asked again: "Zhu Youlang, you are like a prisoner, sitting and waiting to be killed, but you are still with a strong mouth and hard teeth, isn't it a self-defeating way!" I don't blame you for your wordless and confronting the monarch. However, I really can't tolerate you, since you have already existed in our country of Burma, but you colluded with China to plot against our Burma, shouldn't you be punished for such a shameless act?! ”

Zhu Youlang laughed miserably, and replied sharply: "Shameless, you are embarrassed to say the word shameless to this king!" You are so shameless that you and a small country forcibly robbed and slaughtered the vassal kings of the upper kingdom! You are a brother who usurped the throne, slaughtered his nephew and killed his sister-in-law, and he is even worse than a pig and a dog! I fell into your hands this time, and this king is also to blame, no one is to blame. Mangbai, if you still have a little bit of people's hearts, just talk nonsense and give this king a good time! ”

The white teeth gritted loudly: "Zhu Youlang!" Do you think that if you say such hard things, I will not dare to kill you? It's just that you want to die, and I'm not as good as you want. After all, you still have some use for this king. ”

Zhu Youlang was stunned when he heard it: "Oh? What is it for? ”

Mang Bai smiled coldly: "Because, now that the Tang army has assembled on the border, it is estimated that it will attack my Burma in the near future." How about it, is King Gui very happy to hear this news? Therefore, I want to wronged King Gui's family and go to my prison in Burma. After all, in case the situation is unfavorable, I will use King Gui as a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions with Tang Jun. ”

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he laughed out loud, with a look of contempt and disdain.

"What are you laughing at?" Mang Bai was furious with his laughter.

"I laugh at your delusional thinking!" Zhu Youlang smiled and replied coldly: "You don't want to think about it, Li Xiao, the king of Tang, is so eloquent and strategic, this time he will send troops to Burma, he will want to do everything he can, and how can he be fettered by the next little vassal king." If you really reach the end of your rope, it is ridiculous to expect this king to be a bargaining chip to save your life. This king advises you, if you are really afraid that the Tang army will attack and want to save a dog's life, if you don't tie up your hands as soon as possible and surrender the country, the Tang king may spare your life for the sake of your understanding of current affairs. ”

"Shut up! How do I behave in my way, why do I need advice from you, a lost dog! Mang Bai looked hideous: "Tell you, if the Tang army is really unwilling to exchange your family for my life, then I will also kill all your family before the Tang army attacks the city, and then throw the minced meat into the crocodile pool, so that your corpses will be gone, and you will not be able to live in peace!" ”

After Mang Bai said it sharply, he didn't talk nonsense, but immediately ordered someone to take Zhu Youlang into prison, and his princess and young son were also in the same place, and listened to Hou's next step.

Zhu Youlang scolded endlessly, but was pushed down the palace by the Burmese soldiers and scolded, and directly took him to the gloomy and filthy imperial prison.

And just two days after Zhu Youlang was detained, the Burmese king Mangbai received an urgent report from the front.

"Report! Your Majesty, something is wrong! Just two days ago, the Tang army began to attack our Burma in two ways! A dusty sentry rushed into Meinan Palace, and immediately reported loudly to Mang Bai with a sad face.

"Huh?! So, what about the specifics? Mangbai's face turned pale, and his voice trembled. He never expected that the Tang Army would act so quickly.

"Your Majesty, now the soldiers and horses of Zeng Yingbu in the tenth town of the Tang Army, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of our army, rushed across the Qingteng Bridge at the Tiebi Pass overnight, and are attacking and killing our country's Barbarian Mo City all the way. The soldiers and horses of Mo Changrong's division in the eleventh town of the Tang army all went out of Hanlong Pass, and from there they went straight south to attack Mubang City. ”

The continuous report of the sentry rider made Mang Bai's heart beat like a drum, and his face was already dripping with cold sweat.

Mang Bai has been commanding troops for many years, so he can be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield for a long time, of course, he can understand the Tang Army's actions like this, what their true intentions are.

That is, the soldiers and horses of the tenth town of the Tang Army, after taking Manmo, they went south along the Ilova River, all the way to capture the cities of Jesha, Xingu, etc., and all the way to the Burmese capital Ava.

The soldiers and horses of the 11th town of the Tang Army, Mo Changrong, were to take Mubang, then cross the river along the south, attack to the southwest, and then take the cities of Xibo and Zhijiao, and then go straight to Ava City, and finally converge with the soldiers and horses of the 10th Town of the Tang Army and attack Ava together.

If the two armies of the Tang Army successfully encircled Ava, then even if they put on their wings, they would not be able to escape the encirclement.

The only feasible plan was to concentrate the superior forces of the whole country while the Tang army had not yet closed the siege, and fight to the death with the two Tang armies, and strive to break their attack separately.

Such a method is probably the only feasible way for Myanmar to protect itself.

Mang Bai let out a long sigh, and finally gave an order in a deep voice: "Pass my order, make Miaowadi Hou Nei Mu Shan Jue the main general, and the Virtue Hou Ming Yanaya as the deputy general, command 100,000 elite elephant troops, and go to break the 11th town of the Tang Army's Mo Changrong Division, which is closest to Ava, and after repelling his troops, immediately go north to meet the 10th town of the Tang Army's Zeng Ying Division." In addition, Ze Yabaya and Yazha gave two generals, each leading 50,000 horses, and stationed near the left side of Ava to defend the capital and prevent the Tang army from sneaking attacks. At the same time, it also prepared them to support the army of Nei Mu Shan Jue at any time. And the rest of the prefectures and towns are fortified and clear, strictly guarding the order, never abandoning the city lightly, and must not surrender to the Tang army, otherwise, I will not spare it! ”

"Order!"
