On the Burmese side, after Han Xiao, the commander of Jinyiwei, set off from Luoyang, he did not arrive in Myanmar until a month later because of the sudden attack of heavy rain and the rugged mountain roads in the southwest.

At this time, the commander of Burma, Sun Dingzong, had already conquered Mandalay, and after leaving Li Guangtai to deal with the post-war affairs, he led his troops to the eldest prince's lair: Dagon, located in the south of Mandalay.

After days of shelling, the Burmese army in Dagon finally could no longer endure the artillery attack, and tied up the eldest prince and handed it over to Sun Dingzong outside the city as a certificate of surrender.

It was only then that the fighting in Myanmar had completely ceased.

At the same time, Han Xiao had just arrived in Mandalay to meet the king of Burma, conveyed Zhang Lingyang's 'condolences' to the king of Burma, and went out of the palace to find Li Guangtai.

Originally, Han Xiao wanted to convey Zhang Lingyang's original intention to Li Guangtai. But Li Guangtai is a man who eats the ancients, no matter how Han Xiao hints openly and secretly, Li Guangtai just doesn't eat oil and salt, just blindly shirks it, and deals with it impartially when trying those Burmese magnates who were captured in Mandalay.

This made Han Xiao angry, so he urgently repaired a letter and ordered someone to pass it to Sun Dingzong, the commander of Burma, overnight.

At this time, Sun Dingzong had just led his troops to conquer Dagong City, and when he saw Han Xiao's letter, how could he dare to hesitate, and hurriedly ordered someone to execute the eldest prince secretly and report it to the king of Myanmar in the name of 'self-killing'.

After briefly dealing with some aftermath affairs in Dagon City, Sun Dingzong hurriedly rushed to Mandalay overnight with hundreds of men and horses.

Although many things are not explicitly stated in Han Xiao's letters, he has been in contact with Zhang Lingyang for so long, Sun Dingzong naturally understands what Sun Dingzong means, otherwise he would not have sent Han Xiao, a confidant, to Myanmar in person.

After seeing Han Xiao, and after Han Xiao explained his intentions, Sun stared and hesitated: "Commander Han, it's not that General Ben is unwilling to do this, but now Li Guangtai's house is in the city, and General Ben is not easy to do at this time." ”

As soon as his eyes rolled, Han Xiao smiled and said, "Regarding the matter of Li Guangtai, I have already thought about it before I came. Didn't His Majesty's original decree say that Li Guangtai should investigate whether the eldest prince colluded with the British Governor's Mansion in Tianzhu? The general could appoint Li Guangtai to Dagon.

Although the eldest prince is now dead, there must still be many people in Dagon City who know about it. ”

"What Commander Han said is very true!" With just one sentence, Sun Dingzong understood what Han Xiao meant, and said with a smile: "As long as Commander Han has a way to transfer Li Guangtai out of Mandalay, you don't have to worry about the rest of the things Commander Han." ”

"In this way, thank you General Sun!" Han Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, and came up with a way to send Li Guangtai out of Mandalay City, "However, I also ask the general to pass on the brothers in Dagong City, so that they can 'keep' Li Guangtai more in the city, so that we can buy more time." ”

"In this way, thank you Commander Han!" Sun Dingzong smiled and agreed.

After saying goodbye to Sun Dingzong, Han Xiao found Li Guangtai again and said, "Lord Li, Your Majesty has an edict to convey to your lordship. ”

"I wonder what Your Majesty has to say?"

"Before coming, His Majesty personally explained to the lowly position, and asked the lowly position to ask Lord Li: Can the matter of the eldest prince be solved? How many people are involved in Myanmar? Is the case heard in the city? Haven't you missed the net? ”

After hearing this, Li Guangtai was a little suspicious and asked, "Han Xiao, isn't this a false oracle that you deliberately made things difficult for the old man?" ”

Han smiled and said, "If Lord Li doesn't believe it, you can ask Your Majesty after returning to Beijing to see if you have deceived your lordship!" ”

Seeing Han Xiao say this, and his expression did not change at all, Li Guangtai believed it.

Instead, Li Guangtai said: "In Mandalay City, the old man has completed the inquiry, and most of the remaining Burmese nobles are coerced by the eldest prince, and the crime will not lead to death." ”

"What about Dagon?" Han Xiao smiled, "As far as the humble knows, Dagon is the eldest prince's lair, where Lord Li has sent someone to inquire clearly?" Are there any fish that have slipped through the net now? ”

"This ......" Li Guangtai was dumbfounded for a while, "The old man will order someone to investigate!" ”

Seeing Li Guangtai say this, Han Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It's just right, if you have something to do to go to Dagong City, you will leave first!" ”

After Han Xiao left, Li Guangtai said in his heart: "This is so good, why did Han Xiao suddenly want to go to Dagon, is there any ulterior secret?"

No, the old man must personally go to Dagong City to stop Han Xiao's conspiracy. ”

Thinking like this, Li Guangtai called several officials of the Inspectorate, gave careful instructions for a few hours, and left the city gate of Mandalay early the next morning.

"What? Where is this going? As soon as he left the city gate of Mandalay, Han Xiao saw Li Guangtai's sedan chair, so he stepped forward and asked.

"If the old man has something, he must not need to report it to Commander Han, right?" Li Guangtai replied lukewarmly.

Hearing this, Han Xiao didn't think it was a pestle, and continued: "Since this is the case, then the humble post will not delay Lord Li!" ”

As he spoke, Han Xiao raised his horsewhip and went straight to the direction of Dagon.

Seeing that Han Xiao was in such a hurry, Li Guangtai said in his heart: "Sure enough, as the old man expected, Han Xiao must have an ulterior secret when he goes to Dagong!" ”

Thinking like this, Li Guangtai hurriedly ordered people to hurry up......

Three days later, when Li Guangtai came to Dagong City, he saw that although Dagong City had just been poisoned by the war, the people's livelihood was stable, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, so he ordered someone to find the guards in Dagong City and asked: "Han Xiaoke, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, has he ever been to Dagong?" ”

"Back to Lord Li, Commander Han has never been to Dagong City!"

"Oops!" Hearing this, Li Guangtai couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart.

It is said that Han Xiao came to Dagong City on a fast horse, and he should have come to Dagong City a day earlier than Li Guangtai.

But at this time, Han Xiao did not reach Dagong City, and Li Guangtai did not encounter any trace of Han Xiao along the way, which shows a problem: Han Xiao deceived himself before.

"Turn around and head to Mandalay!" Thinking of this, where is it still unclear to Li Guangtai that he fell for Han Xiao's 'trick'? So he gave the order, and hurriedly turned around and hurried towards Mandalay.

……

"General Sun, it's time to start moving!" Coaxed Li Guangtai out of Mandalay, Han Xiao made a big detour and rushed back to Mandalay and said to Sun Dingzong.

"Your Majesty's meaning, is it indeed a non-stay?" At this time, Sun Dingzong was still a little hesitant.

Burma is a vassal state of the Great Zhou, and Sun Dingzong still has some trouble with these nobles in the city.

"Your Majesty's will is indeed a non-stay!" At this time, Han Xiao had a little deal in his heart, and persuaded him: General, we only have four days at most, once Li Guangtai returns to Mandalay, we want to wipe out these Burmese nobles, but it will be a little late! ”
