For this situation, Emperor Chongzhen of course encouraged it, and immediately gave a silver reward.

With Jinyiwei by his side, whether he is a spy or not can be quickly interrogated.

Fortunately for these Dongwu scouts, after they had to confess their identities, the interrogated Jinyi guards did not embarrass them anymore, but moved them with affection and reason, telling them that the king of Dongwu was the source of all evil, and the Ming Emperor Xing Righteous Army came to crusade, and he would definitely destroy Dongwu. Let them, ordinary soldiers, not die with King Dongwu. And then...... Then there was no more, and each of them gave them dry food and released them out of Hanlong Pass.

Seriously, when these Dongwu scouts stood outside the Hanlong Pass and looked back at the Hanlong Pass where the pennant was flying, they all thought they were dreaming!

Generally speaking, if these scouts are caught by the enemy, they will either be beheaded or humiliated, and they will not end well anyway. But this time, it was an exception!

Among these Dongwu scouts, some people couldn't help but feel grateful, and they felt that the Ming Dynasty was worthy of being the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, with a benevolent heart, and did not embarrass them, the low-level soldiers. But there are also people who laugh at Da Ming, just say a few words, and expect them to rebel, how childish is that? If that's the case, then what kind of war is there to fight!

Anyway, no matter what they think, they will never know that in fact, there is one more thing on their bodies, which is the eavesdropping seed that Emperor Chongzhen rewarded them with when he looked at them from afar. Ordinary scouts are all Level C eavesdropping seeds, and scout leaders are Class B eavesdropping seeds.

In addition, during the period when Emperor Chongzhen was stationed here and waiting, there were actually people who entered the cave to catch the live mouth when he didn't accept it at night, and brought it back after he caught it, if he felt that it was valuable, he would also be rewarded by Emperor Chongzhen with C-level eavesdropping seeds.

Only when enough eavesdropping seeds are spread out to make Emperor Chongzhen feel safe enough, will he issue an order to go out. And this is the most fundamental reason why he stayed at Hanlong Pass.

As a result, Pindari was anxious. Those who wait left and right, but they can't wait for the Ming army, his side is ready, why hasn't the Ming army come yet?

As time passed, even if he was the future King of Dongwu, the pressure increased. But fortunately, King Taron gave him the greatest support. Not only did he once again strictly order that all localities must obey Pindari's dispatch and command, but he also sent him the first batch of military rations.

As for the reinforcements, King Talong also explained that if there is not enough troops on his side, he will quickly send him reinforcements.

The time soon entered the end of April of the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, and it was about to be May.

The rainy season is roughly from June to October, the hot season usually starts from the end of February to the end of the month, and the cool season is from November to February.

If you want to attack Donggo, the best time is during the cool season of Donggo, which is from November to February. But at this point in time, Emperor Chongzhen was either on his way to Yunnan, or he was fighting in Yunnan, and he couldn't attack Dongwu in time.

The hot season was indeed difficult, at least in the Ming army, many northern wars were so hot that they had to retreat to Kunming. But if the rainy season comes, the road is already difficult to walk, and then it becomes muddy, torrents, and mudslides, and it will be very difficult to attack Dongwu.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the eavesdropping seeds were almost released, so he ordered a military meeting to officially prepare to attack Dongwu.

At the military meeting, Emperor Chongzhen, according to the news he had received, ordered Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, to lead 5,000 elite Qin troops and 500 temporarily formed local soldiers to attack and occupy Mengyang in the west. And he himself led the main force of about 25,000 and 1,000 local soldiers who were temporarily formed, and went out of Hanlong Pass, attacked Mubang, and occupied Xinwei, which is the seat of Mubang's government. Then continue south, pass Lashio, and hit the city of Ava, which is later Mandalay.

This route, in later generations, was the largest major highway in Myanmar and the main artery of trade between China and Myanmar, with a total length of about 900 miles. At this time, it is also the main road from Daming Yunnan to Ava.

Emperor Chongzhen's plan was to conquer Ava City before the rainy season arrived, and then decide on the next move in Ava City depending on the specific situation.

Suddenly, under the guidance of the local soldiers, the Ming army swooped out like a fierce tiger and pounced on Xinwei with lightning speed.

Along the way, as long as the banner of the Ming army appeared, the local people and soldiers fell one after another. The vanguard of the Ming army, that is, Cao Bianjiao's department, did not encounter any resistance at all, and occupied Xinwei as soon as possible.

Of course, this is not the reason why Cao Bianjiao is a fierce general, but the early publicity was done well. Emperor Chongzhen's movements in Hanlongguan have spread to Mubang and Mengyang, which has given this side enough public opinion base, and hopes to return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, so that such a situation will happen.

Emperor Chongzhen was also very clear about this. Therefore, he led the main force of the Chinese army, and he also quickly followed up to Xinwei. The officials who had already been selected immediately took over from the army, began to calm the people, and rebuilt the Ming official office.

Emperor Chongzhen, on the other hand, continued to lead the army to the south.

However, before leaving, Emperor Chongzhen gave the forward general Cao Bianjiao a bag and asked him to reach the place fifty miles before Lashio to open it and take a look.

…………

On the side of Ava City, when the Ming army just came out of Hanlong Pass, there were scouts who rushed back as quickly as possible and reported the latest news to Pingdali.

When Pindari heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This damn Emperor of the Ming Kingdom finally came out of the turtle's shell.

Seeing that he was happy, Tai Tai Tun also joked with a smile: "Your Highness, at this time, the Ming army must have laid down Xinwei. I guess I'll think I'm vulnerable and complacent! ”

Hearing him say this, he just scratched the itch of Ping Dali, so he heard Ping Dali say smugly with a smug look: "So, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will attack Lashio again, but he was beaten down so easily." Haha......"

Tai Tai Tun knew what Ping Dali was waiting for, so he smiled and said, "Even if the Ming Dog Emperor is very treacherous, he will not escape His Highness's calculations!" This time, His Highness has won! ”

"Hahaha......" Pindari couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. After planning for many days, I believe that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will definitely be fooled, "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom must think that our Dongwu is a barbarian land, and it is vulnerable, but he doesn't know that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, so he is waiting for them to come!" ”

Tai Tai swallowed this, and the word "admiration" was almost written on his face: "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom would never have imagined that His Royal Highness had ambushed five thousand elites in the mountains of Lashio, just waiting for the main force of the Ming army to attack their grain and grass after it passed." Once the grain and grass are destroyed, haha, His Highness will definitely be famous all over the world! ”

"No, no, no......" When Pindari heard this, he immediately shook his head and said with a smug face, "You think too simply!" ”

When Tai Tai Tun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately asked, "Your Highness, why did the last general think too simply?" ”

"What do you think, isn't the Ming Dog Emperor very treacherous?" At this time, Ping Dali had the patience to explain to his courtiers, or it was also to show off, "My Dongwu side has been on the fence and clear, and the Ming Dog Emperor won't know it, right?" ”

Taytayton was a good listener and immediately nodded in agreement.

"In this way, do you think the Ming Dog Emperor will not be vigilant?" Ping Dali looked at Tai Tai Tun almost with a downward look, although he was not actually as tall as Tai Tai Tun, "He will definitely think that my Dong Wu may cut off his grain route, so he will definitely be careful to defend the grain route, and even protect it with heavy troops!" ”

"Ah, if that's really the case, wouldn't it be impossible to rob the Ming army's grain route?" Tai Tai couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, at least on his surface.

This made Ping Dali look as sweet as honey, so he went on to Tai Tai Tun and said: "So, the ambush army of Lashio can rob the Ming army's grain route is the best, if it doesn't work, you can also tell the Ming Dog Emperor, look, my Dongwu's tricks have been used, but it is useless, or you Ming Dog Emperor is a ......good chess player."

Speaking of this, he dragged a long note and looked at Tai Tai Tun.

When Tai Tai Tun heard this, how could he not understand what he meant, so he immediately showed a look of admiration and said: "So, the Ming army will definitely be careless, and His Royal Highness has actually prepared an ambush to cut off the Ming army's food route again, maybe it will be done?" ”

When Ping Dali heard this, he nodded smugly and said, "That's right, not only Lashio, but I also prepared an ambush in Xibo." ”

When Tai Tai Tun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a plan, if it is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom in the end, he will definitely not think of this, he will definitely be tricked!" ”

"Hahaha......" Pindari listened, laughed again, and finally looked at Tai Taitun and said: "The children can be taught, the children can be taught!" But ......"

At this point, he hesitated slightly.

When Tai Tai Tun heard this, he was suddenly curious in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "But what, Your Highness?" ”

When Ping Dali heard this, he saw Tai Tai Tun's expectant look, so he no longer hesitated, lowered his voice a little, and said to Tai Tai Tun: "Father's side, I am afraid that someone here will tell the Ming army, so I secretly sent an army, and did not come to Ava, but went directly north, and ambushed in the mountains fifty miles outside Ava City. In case the first few times were unsuccessful, if the Ming army hit Ava City, there would still be a surprise army available! ”

The matter of the first two ambushes, in fact, Tai Tai Tun knew about it, and the reason why he responded to Ping Dali like that was to curry favor with the future King of Dongwu. And he really didn't know about King Long's hand before.

At this time, he knew that Tai Tai Tun couldn't help but admire him a little bit, so he kept a little more and kept another hand. In this way, even if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is treacherous, he will definitely be fooled!
