After the Tusi Conference, the troops of the Tusi began to assemble on the borders of Yunnan and Burma. The offerings of these Tusi armies are all conceited, and if they want to share the spoils, how can there be any reason to produce without input?

Within two months, the number of Tusi soldiers and horses assembled on the border between Yunnan and Burma had reached an astonishing 250,000. Among them, 130,000 were Tusi soldiers and horses who were preparing to go to Burma to get a piece of the pie, and 120,000 were the Ming army of the imperial court, including 80,000 troops from the Southern Military Region, and 40,000 from the Yunnan army reorganized by Qin Zhan in Yunnan.

On the Burmese side, more than 100,000 troops were also assembled to deal with the invasion of the Ming army. Among them, the strongest combat power is the elephant army with a hundred war elephants.

The scale of this dispatch made Fang Yuan very satisfied, and what he had to consider now was the candidate for the commander and deputy general of the expedition.

At the military meeting, Gan Hui took the initiative to ask for help and was willing to be the commander of the expeditionary force.

The choice of the coach, it is impossible for Fang Yuan to go to the poor mountains and rivers of Myanmar in person, Qin Zhan is obviously not good at military affairs, and he is not suitable to be the coach. The most suitable candidate for the coach is undoubtedly Gan Hui.

Before, Gan Hui wanted to take the credit of pacifying the southwest, but unexpectedly, he killed Li Dingguo halfway, which ruined his plan. This crusade against Myanmar was Fang Yuan's compensation to him.

However, Fang Yuan's only concern was whether Gan Hui could cope with the offensive of that elephant army. The onslaught of war elephants is far superior to that of cavalry, and if it is not dealt with in an unfavorable way, the whole army will inevitably be defeated.

Fang Yuan asked in a deep voice, "Governor Gan, the King of Burma has an elephant soldier corps, how do you think this elephant soldier corps should be broken?" ”

Gan Hui was originally from Minguang, and elephants were not a rare thing for him, so he said loudly, "The regent, the so-called war elephant, seems to be fierce, but it is a strong outsider. Whether it is a fire, a barricade, or a loud noise, the war elephant can be frightened and flee back. At that time, Mu Ying of Mu Wangfu relied on three stages to defeat the war elephant corps of Yunnan Tusi. The regent doesn't need to worry, if his ministers lead the battle, the war elephant army will be broken! ”

Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "Okay!" Let me ask you again, if you go deep into Burma, how will you treat the people of Burma?! ”

Gan Hui arched his hand and said, "According to the method before the regent, the attack is the top, and the attack is the bottom." ”

Fang Yuan asked, "How to attack the heart?!" ”

Gan Hui replied, "Use it together!" ”

Fang Yuan let out a thoughtful sigh and said slowly, "Okay! Governor Gan, I appoint you as the commander of this expedition. As for the lieutenant general and vanguard! I'll think about it again. ”

At night, in the military tent

Fang Yuan was absentmindedly reading the military newspaper, while Chen Yuanyuan was serving on the side wholeheartedly, and said softly, "Fang Lang, Xu Cheng really wants to make contributions in the expedition to Burma, can you appoint him as a pioneer?!" ”

Fang Yuan squeezed her soft hand and muttered, "Xu Cheng asked you to intercede?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan said softly, "I interceded by myself, Fang Lang said, Xu Cheng is not a manufacturable material?" ”

Xu Cheng's performance in this campaign to pacify the southwest was still remarkable, and he had exceeded Fang Yuan's expectations, and said with a smile, "Yes, it is a material that can be made!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan could persuade him to agree, and suddenly the Chinese military tent reported that Gao Yuanjue's mother Xing came to ask for a meeting.

Fang Yuan didn't need to think about it, he also knew that this woman was here to intercede for Gao Yuanjue. Gao Yuanjue was defeated before, lost his military rations, and was imprisoned by Fang Yuan, waiting for military justice. This Xing should have gotten the news and came to plead.

Chen Yuanyuan frowned and said, "Fang Lang, it seems wrong to meet a widow late at night, let's see you tomorrow!" ”

Fang Yuan pondered for a while, but still let the Xing clan in.

Xing Shi bowed down to him and said in a low voice, "Regent, Yuan Jue is new to the battlefield, and it is common for him to make a slight mistake, and please atone for his sins!" ”

Fang Yuan said coldly, "Xu Cheng is also new to the battlefield, why didn't he miss anything?" Also, if you lose most of your military rations and lose 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, this is a slight loss, so what is a big defeat? ”

Xing lowered his gaze and cried, "No one is at fault, and I also ask the regent to give him another chance to atone for his sins for the sake of the Gao family's loyalty, and thank the regent for his great grace." ”

Chen Yuanyuan saw that this woman dared to be cheeky to intercede, and wanted to scold her a few words, but knowing that this matter involved military and political affairs, Fang Yuan didn't like him to interject, so he forcibly went back.

Fang Yuan looked at the Xing clan who was pleading with pear blossom with rain, and said in a deep voice, "Xing, Gao Yuanjue is also unlucky, he met a fierce battlefield general like Li Dingguo on his first expedition, and like Zhao Kuo, he met the killing god Bai Qi on his first expedition, and it is reasonable to be defeated." ”

Xing Shi saw that his tone had softened, and said again and again, "Yes, yes, the regent is well aware of the righteousness, and if Xu Cheng goes to transport grain, he will also lose to Li Dingguo." This is not a crime of war, but bad luck. ”

She dragged Xu Cheng, who was not defeated, into the water with all her might, Chen Yuanyuan was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but speak, "Xing, Xu Cheng didn't meet Li Dingguo, but you asserted that he would be defeated, is this a trumped-up charge?!" ”

Xing Shi shot back at her, "It's true that Yuanjue was defeated, but Li Dingguo has been rampant in Guizhou for several months, and Xu Cheng dares to lead his troops to relieve the siege?!" It's not the same fear of war, avoiding war! ”

Fang Yuan was not interested in this kind of quarrel between women, because they were just fighting for their own interests. If the quarrel results in a result, what major military and political matters can be solved?

He turned his head sideways and glared at Chen Yuanyuan, who was the first to attack, and said coldly, "I said a long time ago that you are not allowed to intervene in major military and political affairs!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan closed his mouth knowingly, but his face was still sullen.

Fang Yuan said to Xing again, "Okay, I will give Gao Yuanjue another chance to atone for his crimes, and appoint him as the vanguard of this expedition to Burma." ”

Chen Yuanyuan and Xing Shi were angry and happy when they heard his arrangement.

Xing Shi smiled happily and hurriedly asked, "Regent, how many soldiers and horses are there in the vanguard this time?" ”

Fang Yuan said slowly, "The remaining 20,000 Gao family troops will continue to be led by Gao Yuanjue, and I will send another 20,000 mountain special battalions of Naji, Wu Sangui will lead 10,000 elite foot soldiers, and Hao Shaoqi's 7,000 special combat troops, as Gao Yuanjue's deputy general, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Fang Yuan not only ordered Gao Yuanjue to re-command the Gao family's army, but even arranged for the three main forces of Naji, Wu Sangui, and Hao Shaoqi to be deployed by Gao Yuanjue. This is simply a peace of mind to carry a sedan chair for Gao Yuanjue, so that he can make meritorious contributions.

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask, "Regent, what kind of military position is Xu Cheng?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Escorting grain and grass in the rear army is also an important position!" ”

Escorting grain and grass can neither make meritorious service nor kill the enemy, what kind of important position is it? Chen Yuanyuan saw that he put Xu Cheng, who performed well, into idleness, but he just reused the Gao Yuanjue who couldn't support the wall with mud, was he really dizzy, or was he lost?

Chen Yuanyuan forcibly suppressed his anger, Ying Ying got up and said, "Regent, I'm tired and want to rest!" Keep talking! ”

Fang Yuanmu sent her into the military tent, took a pen and paper, and wrote the rice paper.

After he finished writing, his eyes fell on Xing Shi again, and handed her the rice paper, "Xing Shi, this is the military mission of the pioneer battalion, after entering the territory of Myanmar, the pioneer battalion must be carried out without discount!" ”

Xing Shi looked at the task on the rice paper, first taken aback, and then asked, "Regent, this, this ......?"

Fang Yuan waited for Xing to see it, and after keeping it in mind, he sent the rice paper to the stove and burned it, and said in a deep voice, "Do it!" Remember, everything has nothing to do with me and must not be divulged. ”

Xing kept it in mind and withdrew from the military tent.

Fang Yuan looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who was still angry on the bed in the military tent, and laughed secretly, "Woman! Woman! ”
