"My current thinking is that we can't directly rush at the Ming army... Instead, we should avoid the edge for a while! ”

"Stay out of the edge?"

Where does this come from?

Many people present were a little stunned, after all, in the capital before, when Bantu and Tong Kang discussed the battle plan, they were full of interest, and confidently said that they would fight directly with the Ming army, how could it be that they had only been out for a long time now...

Only? Staying out of the edge?

"General... But we haven't had a single contact with the Ming army, even if we want to avoid the edge for the time being... Do you have to wait until we have a fight with the Ming army! ”

A general on the side couldn't help but speak.

But Bantu became angry and said in a loud voice: "Do you know how powerful the army of the Ming is? We will not be an opponent of the Ming army..."

"If we want to have a chance to win this war, we have only one way!"

"That's all of you... You must obey my command and execute according to my plan, otherwise... If there is any accident on the battlefield, then I can't guarantee it! ”

Fifty thousand troops, many of whom were Bantu's cronies.

This is also the main reason why in today's Lancang Kingdom, Bantu in the army can act so recklessly.

As soon as the words fell, a cronie soldier armed with a steel knife rushed in.

stared at the generals present viciously, and when they saw this situation... Everyone present is like a mirror, Bantu is holding back bad water!

But do they have any choice?

No...

"But the General..."

"No, but! Now what I'm going to say is... Starting tomorrow morning, the army will change the direction of its advance, and we will first go to the western part of the Lancang Kingdom to garrison! In case of a sneak attack! ”

As soon as the words fell, Bantu did not give anyone present a chance to react.

With a wave of his sleeves, he continued back to his lodgings and began to shake.

Bantu is hiding from the war with the Ming army.

This was the consensus of everyone present in an instant, but they didn't have anything to do about Bantu... After all, the scimitar that symbolizes military power in the Lancang Kingdom is pinned to Bantu's belt at this moment.

In this way, the army of 50,000 men began to rest in place.

"Goal! Westward! Forward..."

Tong Kang is still waiting for the good news that Bantu has won a big victory and broken the enemy outside the capital... But before the good news arrived, I heard the frightened report of my subordinates!

"Report! Your Majesty! The army of the Ming Dynasty... Tomorrow at the latest, we will be approaching the defensive ring around the capital! ”

"What?!"

"They're not immortals! The roads in the south are so rough... How could they have approached the capital so quickly! ”

The frightened Tong Kang couldn't help but question loudly, but the official who sent the message just trembled and said, "I heard... This time, it was not the Ming army that mainly attacked us, but the Royal Cambodian Corps and the Annam Corps driven by the Ming army! ”

I have to say that in terms of intelligence gathering, the Lancang Kingdom can still see some shadows that are superior to the other two countries.

However, priority is right, but it is also right that priority is not much.

Tong Kang opened his mouth in astonishment and said, "You mean. Now it is the Annan and Cambodians who have turned around and beaten us! ”

"That's right! His Majesty the King... These people are simply too familiar with the terrain of our Lancang Kingdom, and they go to every place... They all distributed large quantities of rice to the local untouchables, and they were all showing them the way! ”

Lead the way?

Tong Kang became angry almost instantly, and said loudly: "How can this be! Didn't I feed them? ”

"What does this king owe them to them?"

The officials kneeling at the bottom can be regarded as one of the few people in the Lancang Kingdom who still know what kind of life the people live, and those untouchables are simply not human beings in Tong Kang's eyes...

The so-called food that keeps them alive.

It is a huge hidden danger in the Lancang Kingdom. Decades ago, it was calculated that food would be distributed according to the number of people in each household, and the rest of the food would have to be turned over to the state.

But the grain will not return to them.

Instead, it was used to feed the army, officials, and the royal family.

Only without themselves, so many years have passed... The number of people in each household is increasing, but the amount of food distributed has not changed for many years.

This has forced many people to take risks and steal food.

That is to say, the natural resources in the wild of the Lancang Kingdom are quite abundant, and many people who can't survive just want to go to the mountains and forests...

It's still possible to survive somewhat..

This is the reason why there has been no rebellion in this dynasty until now... But although I know it in my heart, I can't say this to Tong Kang...

So, the official trembled and responded, "Your Majesty... I'm afraid that now we have to make plans early, whether it is Cambodians, Annam, or Daming, they are all enemies of our Lancang Kingdom! ”

"Do you still need to tell the king?"

The taste of the army pressing the realm is uncomfortable for any one person.

But at this moment, many people in the Lancang Kingdom are actually shaken... Because they have already heard that after the Ming army occupied the whole of Cambodia, most of the original officials of the Kingdom of Cambodia were reappointed.

So for them, even if the Ming army comes in the end.

The Lancang Kingdom is powerless to resist...

But so what? For them, it's just a change of master, from Tong Kang to the Ming court...

Sound.. Many people still feel good in their hearts.

Tong Kang continued: "Recruit all the young and strong men who are now near the capital and give them weapons... Whether untouchables or nobles, they must go to war! ”

"If there is a fear of war! Death! ”

After finishing speaking, Tong Kang waved his hand and left, leaving only the surprised official kneeling on the spot, a little at a loss...

But he could only follow Tong Kang's explanation, and hurriedly began to find someone.

....

On the other hand, on the other hand...

Since hugging Daming's thigh, Li Wen's life can be said to be a lot better, from the attack on Cambodia to the present...

Although most of the days spent are outside plundering.

But almost every Annan soldier was tired of this, and he only heard him riding on his horse and shouting at the Annan soldiers around him: "When we conquer the Lancang Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a lot of rewards for us..."

"At that point, we'll be back home again.."

"Everyone will not only be able to live a good life with a full stomach, I am afraid that we will all be able to become rich one by one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ushered in the excited echo of the surrounding soldiers!

"Yes!"

"We can be rich too, maybe! You can also become a Ming person! ”
