Li Guangtai exposed Han Xiao's conspiracy, but Han Xiao didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "What Lord Li said is not interesting.

Although the official position is humble, he is also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he only accepts the dispatch of His Majesty, what is there to do, is it difficult to ask you Lord Li for instructions?

Besides, Xia Guan came to Burma this time to assist Lord Li in investigating the matter of the eldest prince at the behest of His Majesty. ”

"You also know that His Majesty's will is for you to assist the old man? But why did you suddenly return to Mandalay? And didn't say a word to the old man during the period? Li Guangtai sneered and asked.

Han smiled and said: "It's strange what Lord Li said, although the lower official was ordered to assist Lord Li, but Jinyiwei has always been responsible for His Majesty alone.

Besides, didn't Master Li say before that he didn't want to go to Dagon? Why did you suddenly go to Dagon? When the lower officials returned to Mandalay, they did not find any trace of you, Master Li, so how can they report to you? ”

Han Xiao's words are 'reasonable and well-founded', no matter how Li Guangtai can speak well, he can't find the loopholes between Han Xiao's words for a while.

At this time, Sun Dingzong saw that the eyes of the two were full of anger, and hurriedly said: "Lord Li, Commander Han, now that the situation in Myanmar is like this, shouldn't we try our best to appease the place?"

Now that the two of you have a dispute over a trivial matter, if it spreads, I'm afraid that it will affect the prestige of the imperial court, right? ”

Now that the wood is in the boat, Li Guangtai also understands that it is too late to say anything. What I have to do now is to do my best to reassure the people of Myanmar so that the situation in Myanmar cannot change in any way.

Otherwise, if it causes a civil uprising in Myanmar, I am afraid that it will be another trouble.

So Li Guangtai asked, "I wonder what General Sun plans to do now?" ”

Sun Dingzong hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander Han has already passed on His Majesty's message before, asking the old man to lead his troops to Jiling Temple to prevent another surprise attack by the English.

Therefore, the old man wants to entrust all the internal affairs of Myanmar to you, Lord Lee, as long as Mandalay has Lord Lee and you are in Mandalay, the old man can fight on the front line of Venus. ”

Hearing this, Li Guangtai's brows furrowed deeply, "General Sun's words certainly have some truth, but now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers under the general's command, and I am afraid that I will not be able to maintain the situation in Myanmar by relying on these soldiers alone!" ”

"This Lord Li, please rest assured!" Han Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Before Xia Guan came, His Majesty had already issued an edict to Zhang Guang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, ordering him to mobilize 50,000 local elite soldiers into Burma. ”

Although he didn't like Han Xiao's personality very much, Li Guangtai also understood that now was not the time to have a conflict with Han Xiao, so he answered: "If this is the case, the old man can ensure the stability of the situation in Myanmar." ”

Li Guangtai's words are very confident, and there is also a foundation for self-confidence.

If Zhang Guangzhi sent 50,000 elite troops into Burma, Li Guangtai believed that even if there were people in Burma who were not subordinate, they would put away their ambitions.

What's more, as a second-class member of the Great Zhou court, Li Guangtai still doesn't believe that he can't govern a small Myanmar.

Although the position of the Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi is noble, Li Guangtai is a doer, and the total population of Myanmar is not as good as that of an ordinary province in the interior of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Li Guangtai is naturally confident that he will govern Myanmar well.

However, the only thing Li Guangtai is worried about now is that now Han Xiao and Sun Dingzong have basically slaughtered the Burmese court, and no one will do anything for themselves in the future, which will be very tricky.

So Li Guangtai expressed his worries.

Han Xiao smiled disappreciatively: "Is Master Li too worried?" As long as Lord Li repairs a letter to His Majesty, I am afraid that I will not send someone down to support my lordship? ”

It can be said that the current Da Zhou lacks everything, but the least lacking is just people.

After Han Xiao's reminder, Li Guangtai came to his senses, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and ordered someone to rush to Luoyang for 800 miles to repair the book.

At the same time, Zhang Guangzhi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who received the holy decree, immediately gathered 50,000 elite troops into Burma.

After receiving 50,000 elite soldiers, Sun Dingzong made precise deployments.

In addition to the 10,000 elite soldiers who remained in Mandalay, they deployed 5,000 elite soldiers in Myitkyina, Dagon, and Dawei, and integrated the remaining 25,000 elite soldiers with the more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command.

Half a month later, Sun Dingzong personally took the 35,000 elite soldiers to Jiling Temple.

Jiling Temple is the western gate of Myanmar into Tianzhu, and the strategic location is very important, so Sun Dingzong naturally attaches great importance to it.

Even during the previous period of leading troops to recover Mandalay, Sun Dingzong still left 5,000 elite soldiers to garrison Jiling Temple to prevent a surprise attack by the British.

With such a large army, the English army in Tianzhu naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Even if the British army in Tianzhu is much more powerful than the Great Zhou army stationed in Jiling Temple.

The king of Tianzhu is more strange, it is said that the territory of Tianzhu is not small, and the population is second only to the Great Zhou, but England relied on tens of thousands of troops, and it is not the most elite army in the country, to conquer this huge country.

Later, the size of the English army in Tianzhu was maintained at around 50,000.

It is said that the colonization of a huge country with 50,000 troops alone is a bit stretched, but England has survived.

Not only is it well maintained, but the 50,000 troops seem to be more than enough in Tianzhu.

But even so, Frank, the British governor in Tianzhu, did not dare to devote all these 50,000 troops to the battle against the Great Zhou.

Not even half of them dare.

Tianzhu people are extremely docile, but under this docile appearance, Frank doesn't know if this is a Tianzhu person deliberately confusing himself.

Especially after the annihilation of more than 10,000 elite British troops who invaded Burma, Frank did not dare to act rashly, but repaired a letter to ask for help from China, hoping that the country could send more elites to Tianzhu, so as to complete his previous strategic deployment and completely incorporate Burma into the sphere of influence of the British Empire.

Regarding the situation in Tianzhu, Sun Dingzong did not know very well.

Not to mention Sun Dingzong, even Han Xiao, the commander of Jinyiwei, didn't know much about the situation in Tianzhu, so he couldn't give Sun Dingzong very valuable information.

With a black eye, Sun Dingzong naturally did not dare to act rashly against Tianzhu.

Even after he already had 35,000 soldiers under his command, Sun Dingzong still adopted a conservative offensive strategy, first tentatively attacking Assam, an important city in the eastern part of Tianzhu......
