The fourth day of the seventh month of the third year of the new year. Wu Sangui commanded 80,000 troops. Swore in Kunming, Yunnan. Enter Myanmar in three ways.

It was at this time. Detectives from Beizhen Fusi in Yunnan Province released a warning signal overnight. The news was transmitted to Dingbei Province by the flying pigeon. The Legend of the Flying Pigeon was originally a communication method rarely used by Jinyiwei. It's fast enough, though. But it's not stable. And it's easy to expose. It will only be used when it is most urgent.

When Li Dingguo received the message. It was two days later. He unfolded a small roll of paper. I watched half a cup of tea carefully. Only then did the secret report be thrown away. Haha laughed and said: "Wu Wei is going to move seriously this time." The heralds will raise the bills to the proceedings. ”

Dinh North Province is the former northern part of Myanmar. Li Dingguo was enclosed in the northern province. He was the first vassal king in the Southern Ming Dynasty to hold the military and political power of a province. Now there is a fixed seal and a surplus of wages. The Dingbei Army, which was renamed Dingbei, now has 20,000 troops. Among them, a 1,000-strong burst fire battalion was also specially equipped.

Li Dingguo was dressed neatly. Put on a python robe and jade belt. A sharp sword hangs from his waist. Step into the main hall. The tee drum is finished. The generals have been waiting for a long time. Li Dingguo sat quietly at the top. Left and right. He said softly: "Are all the generals here?" ”

"Back to the big handsome. All the generals stationed there. Listen to the commander's orders. The staff member standing on the side replied in a low voice. In the military. The soldiers all called Li Dingguo as a marshal.

Li Dingguo's jaw is brushed with his beard. Standing in front of the desk, his knife-like eyes swept the generals in two rows. The voice is like a loud bell: "The traitor Wu Sangui has sworn in Kunming. According to the king's estimate. I'm afraid the army has passed Simao. Soon they will invade Dingbei. ”

The generals originally said that Li Dashuai was summoning the generals to reprimand the military order. I didn't think about it, but I heard the news. His face couldn't help but be eager to try. These people had all fought the Qing army in Sichuan with Li Dingguo. Engaged Wu Sangui in Yunnan. A veteran of guerrillas in northern Myanmar. Now there is a basis. Adequate food and pay. He also recruited many strong men to serve in the army. It's no longer Wuxia Amon. Those who are gearing up are only waiting for one day to fight to the death with Wu Sangui.

Li Dingguo looked at the generals' eyes that exuded infinite fighting intent. I couldn't help but smile with relief. Said: "Wu thieves are known as elite 100,000. In Ben Shuai's opinion. This man is only 50,000 or 60,000 people. And most of them are new recruits. Although the number of our army is not more than 20,000. But they all have a deep hatred of blood. and took advantage of the Lord. Later, the emperor sat in the sea and reinforced. If you can't win. It's really shameless. ”

Li Dingguo's voice just fell. The crowd laughed. It's hard to be handsome and humorous on weekdays. Although the joke is a little cold. But when he saw the big handsome, he smiled when he said that he didn't have a face to see people. Who would dare not sell the face of the handsome.

Li Dingguo's words are arrogant. But the advantages of the Dingbei Army were brought out one by one. In fact, he was not a proud man. But the two armies will be engaged. Saying these things is nothing more than a morale boost.

Li Dingguo's brows sank. The generals immediately felt the strangeness of the commander, and they all stopped smiling and looked at the commander. Li Dingguo said: "Wu Sangui has been using soldiers for many years. It can be called a generation of famous generals. Therefore. Neither shall we be underestimated. Wu's military strength is unpredictable. Not to be underestimated. Or stay until the day of triumph. It's not too late to laugh when he cuts off the head of Wu Thief Sangui. ”

The generals' hearts struck. They all solemnly bowed their hands and said, "Please send the marshal." ”

Li Dingguo had already taken out an arrow from the silver cylinder on the case. shouted: "Yang Wenfa." ”

"The end will be." A general has stepped forward. Half-kneeling marching salute.

Wu Sangui's Chinese army totaled 60,000 men. Mighty. Ten miles in a row. In the counties and counties of Yunnan that passed, officials went out of the city with wine and meat to work the army. But this time it's different. Wu Jun did not stop at all. Wu Sangui ordered the three armies to march day and night. Constantly urging his subordinates to speed up. There is no other reason. The operation. The first thing to be solved is Li Dingguo's Dingbei Army. Northern Myanmar is thousands of miles away from the sea. Wu Sangui estimated that Haidu's reinforcements would not arrive in seven or eight days. Wait for the sea to receive the news of his own attack. If you send troops north to rescue. Then it will be at least ten days later. Other words. The time left for Wu Jun was only about fifteen days. Can you swallow Li Dingguo. It depends on the time of day. Once Haidu's reinforcements arrived. The enemy forces are combined into one. Then the advantage of Wu Jun's large number of people will be offset a lot. Victory or defeat is unpredictable.

Time is of the essence. Wu Sangui, who was wearing silver armor, kept reining in his horse and threw out rewards in the ranks of the marching army. He personally led his own soldiers at the rear of the team, brandishing horsewhips and whipping the fallen soldiers. This war, which is related to his net worth and future, must not be lost. Otherwise, the operation of more than ten years will be in vain. A dog that can't bite a person will either be beaten to death by an opponent with a wooden stick. Even if you get away with it. It will also be cooked by its owner. 、

"Herald. And then speed up. If anyone dares to fall behind......" Wu Sangui, who was on the tall horse, gritted his teeth. There was murderous intent in his eyes. shouted: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

"Wow!" The heralds dismounted and beat thousands. Then he quickly turned over and got on his horse. The action is done in one go. Holding the command flag high, he stepped up his horse's belly and rushed to pass the order.

The sky was blue without a single cloud. The mountains of the south are undulating. Wu Sangui's eyes must be at the junction of the blue sky and the mountains. He whipped at the generals and staff members riding tall horses behind him: "After these peaks. to enter northern Myanmar. Although Li Thief is familiar with soldiers and horses. But the king expected that he would never have expected the king's sudden attack. In a hurry, it was impossible to ambush the troops on the roadside. Therefore. Our army only seeks a quick battle. After entering Burma. Take advantage of its rush. Broken in one go. ”

The generals nodded yes. These people are all Wu Sangui's old subordinates. I don't know how many times I have fought with Li Dingguo's subordinates. What they feared was Li Dingguo's guerrilla tactics. Ambush in the mountains and mountains. Like a ghost, the Dingbei Army always launched a surprise attack at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate situation. When the Wu army hastily organized a revolt after leaving behind hundreds of corpses. The Dingbei Army has receded like a tide.

If only it could be as King Pingxi said. Launch a surprise offensive in northern Burma. The Dingbei Army, which had a basis, rushed to the battle. Then the Dingbei Army will not have the possibility of ambushing with the help of the potential. Once forced, the Dingbei army rushed in front of the two armies. Then the balance of victory has already tilted in favor of the outnumbered Wu army.

"The prince is clever. No wonder the prince kept urging. It turned out that there had been an arrangement for a long time. The triangular eyes of the officials who were supplemented by Yun Yan were bent into a gap. Shaking his head and patting his ass.

Wu Sangui said: "This king has commanded the army for many years. If you can't see that. Isn't it a wine bag and a rice bag? Where did the soldiers and horses of Yuan Rang and Zhao Fu go? ”

Yuan Rang and Zhao Funai were the governors of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces under the jurisdiction of King Pingxi. Both of them are Wu Sangui's old subordinates. Born in the army. There are not 100 but 90 of the formations that have been experienced. Wu Sangui is most relied on. This time the troops were divided into three ways. In addition to Wu Sangui's own 60,000 Chinese troops. The two wings are two people with 10,000 soldiers and horses respectively.

"Yuan Rang has arrived at Jinghong. General Zhao Fu carried a lot of baggage. Still in the Pu'er generation. A guerrilla dressed in Qing army nail armor rode two steps forward. Road.

"Humph! It's all too slow. Wu Sangui's face showed anger. However, these two generals are all recruits. Now the decisive battle is coming. Although Wu Sangui didn't like it. But it's not good to be too harsh: "Leave them alone." We first broke into northern Burma. To take down Li Dingguo. Then join them in a decisive battle with the new beginning. ”

The generals nodded. On the art of war and tactics. Although Wu Sangui is old. It's always been very vicious. Work under such people. I can only talk about being a kowtow insect in the military and not being afraid of death in battle. Otherwise, don't even think of getting ahead.

"What's going on at the court?" Wu Sangui's solemn face softened a little. Suddenly asked about the city of Beijing. For him. Nanming is the enemy in front of him. Beijing City is also his future opponent. Someone like him with a heavy arm. If you can't stand up. Sooner or later, there will be a lackey cooking.

"The court heard that the prince had sent troops. A commendation has been issued. He also ordered all provinces to dispatch as much grain and grass as possible to Yunnan and Guizhou. Eliminate worries for the prince. An official dressed as a civilian official said.

Wu Sangui looked at the mountains in the distance. The shadowy peaks of the mountains stand tall. I couldn't help laughing: "That's the case." Then this king is not welcome. Commanded to go down. People went around asking for food from the provinces. How many to have. Let's just say that the soldiers in front of the battle are hard. Yungui's stock is beyond its means. The governors of the provinces are invited to support them. ”

The official who was the first to reply grinned and said, "The prince is wise." Saying goes. The army did not move. Grain and grass come first. The prince led the soldiers to fight outside. Why do these officials sit in the back and enjoy the blessings? and scavenged out of them some money and bread and grass. and with silver and bread and grass. The prince crisscrosses the universe. It's like a tiger with wings. Who dares to get along with the prince. Hey. Just hit the fuck. ”

The officials laughed as they spoke. The triangular eyes flickered constantly. The words revealed the meaning of King Pingxi's domination of the world.

Wu Sangui's face sank. reprimanded: "This king is also a slave of Kangxi. It's okay to fall in front of a small rebellion. I'll say less about what I'm going to say in the future. Beware of flashing the tongue. ”

"Yes. Damn it. The official grinned and clasped his palms. But there was not the slightest damn meaning.

Wu Sangui ignored him. Watching the winding procession, the speed slowed down a bit. couldn't help but say angrily: "Order." Speed it up a little more. Tomorrow morning. Entered Burma and camped for two hours. But whoever retreats will be killed. Who entered northern Myanmar first. Bounty. This king preserves his origin. ”

"Li Biao. You take a group of your own soldiers to the rear. Whoever walks is procrastinated. All for the king. ”

"Wow!" One of the generals waved his hand. Dozens of fast horses behind him galloped quickly towards the rear team with him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Pingxi has an order. Those who came first to northern Myanmar. Get promoted and get rich! Laggard. Chop! The heralds roared back and forth in the ranks.

Followed by. There was a burst of screams from the rear team. This is the pro-soldier slaying the stragglers. The sparse army suddenly shook. The soldiers quickened their pace.
