Annan had just been recovered, Zhu Qiyu had to stay in the town, and the battle to occupy the city was commanded by Zhang Fu, and Chen Ying served as the deputy commander.

Zhang Fu immediately returned to Thang Long, reorganized his troops and horses, and appointed Li Kechang as the vanguard, and ten days later, the army was mobilized.

Since Li Kechang joined the Ming Dynasty, the official title has not yet come down, but he also knows that if he has no achievements and only relies on the glory and wealth obtained by betraying the old master, I am afraid that it will not last long.

Therefore, he is bound to win this battle, and most of the soldiers and horses he leads are old generals of Annam, and he has a lot of experience in conquering the city.

In the face of the sudden pressure of the army, Champa did not make any preparations at all, and was beaten again.

The news soon reached the city of Sangha Bharat, and Mahapancha was shocked.

"Who are you talking about? The Ming Army, or the Annam Army?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the main force of the Ming army, and the Annan army is the vanguard!"

"Who's the boss?"

"It's Zhang Fu, the king of Jing'an County in the Ming Dynasty!"

Maha Pancha's two eyebrows were furrowed together, but he couldn't figure out why the Ming army suddenly launched a war against Zhancheng.

What's the situation?

It doesn't make sense!

Champa and the Ming Dynasty have always been vassal relations, and Maha Pan Tea has a good understanding of the Ming Dynasty's style since he became the prince of the Champa Dynasty.

Those Han people boast of being the kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette, so they must pay attention to etiquette in everything they do.

Even if the king of Qinghua City knew that it was my hand to intercept and kill the envoy, even if he hated it so much, but, according to the rules, he did not have the right to use troops against Zhancheng.

For such a major national event as waging war, it was necessary to go to the imperial court and obtain the emperor's permission before sending troops.

Why did you call all of a sudden?

Mengdi, he thought of a person.

"Whoever comes, declare it immediately...... No, go and get Brahman!"

At this time, Maha Pan Tea had already faintly felt that Fanlai must know something.

The people who were sent out soon came back to return to their lives, and Fanlai ran away, and even his family was nowhere to be found!

Mahapancha was immediately furious and said, "Summoning General Shili!"

The veteran general, Shalisada Varman, rushed to hear the news, and at the same time, there were several other important generals.

Mahapancha immediately ordered General Shili to be the commander-in-chief, and within three days, he went north to meet the Ming army.

Everyone received the order, began to prepare the army, and hurriedly went to battle.

…………

At night, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Led by General Shili, a group of generals who occupied the city were discussing the battle plan.

At the pace of the march of the two armies, the first large-scale battle will soon be ushered in.

To be honest, all of you here didn't have the slightest hint of excitement about the enemy forces they were about to face.

The reason is very simple, you can't beat it!

At the beginning, the Annan people fought against the city of Zhancheng and were defeated again and again, if it were not for the help of the Ming army, the city would have been destroyed.

They still have a fresh memory of the firearms of the Ming army, and those new artillery pieces are like gods descending from the heavens, and they are definitely not something that mortals can fight against.

Nowadays, the people of Annam are the vanguard, and behind them are the powerful Ming army.

How will this battle be fought?

Just when everyone was at a loss, someone outside the tent came to report, saying that someone asked to see him.

General Shili asked, "Who?"

"Brahman!"

"Who are you talking about?"

General Shi Li raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

"General Hui, it's Fanlai!"

"Is he alone?"

"Just one man, and no weapons."

Everyone present changed their faces, and the king of Champa had already issued a wanted warrant, saying that Fanlai had defected, how could he come to the barracks alone?

General Shili pondered for a moment and said, "Bring him in!"

Not long after, several soldiers escorted the five-flowered Fan to the Chinese army's tent.

General Shili waved his hand at the soldiers, "You guys go down first!"

"Yes!"

In the big tent, all the main generals of the city were Cham, and most of these people were very familiar with Fanlai.

Everyone was puzzled, what was the purpose of this person?

Fan Lai smiled and said, "General Shili, my comrades, I am tied up below, and I can't salute, please forgive me!"

General Shi Li asked, "Fanlai, did you really take refuge in the Ming army?"

"Where did the general hear the rumors?"

"His Majesty the King himself said it, where did the rumor come from?"

"Your Majesty?"

Van Lai smiled contemptuously and said, "Which King is it, Your Majesty!"

"Presumptuous!"

General Shili looked angry and said, "Of course, it's Your Majesty Mahapancha!"

"Mahapancha Your Majesty?"

Fan Lai suddenly laughed and said, "When the Ming army came to support, he personally promised to lease the port and exchange trade, but now he regrets it and does not admit it, he has no faith in his words, and he acts like a villain!"

These things are very good, and General Shili also knows a little about them, and knows that he is at fault.

However, as a courtier who occupies the city, he has no choice.

"In any case, those of us who are courtiers must obey the king's commands!"

But Brahma said, "Mahapancha is a thief who steals the country, is it worth it for you to die for him?"

General Shili immediately stopped: "Brahman, don't talk nonsense!"

"General, do you remember what Maha Pancha said when the Ming army helped us recover our land and prepare for a counterattack on Annam?"

General Shili was silent for a moment, at that time, the reason given by Mahapancha was that the supply of grain and grass was insufficient, but when he returned to the city, he found that the so-called shortage of grain and grass was not true at all.

In other words, Maha Pan Tea doesn't want to continue fighting, as for the reason......

Seeing that he was silent, Fan Lai continued: "The Ming army occupied Thanh Hoa, rescued His Majesty the old king, and sent troops to escort His Majesty back to the city.

General Shi Li nodded and said, "Naturally, I know."

"Do you know the truth?"

"What's the truth?"

Fan Lai snorted coldly and said, "Those robbers were originally sent out by Mahapancha, and one of them was acquainted with me, and later he couldn't bear to see the princess killed, so he told me the truth!"

"You...... What evidence is there?"

"The evidence is on me, the general wants to see it, just take it!"

General Shi Li hurriedly ordered someone to loosen it, and Fan Lai moved his muscles and took out a letter from his body.

This is a piece of silk, and in Champa, silk can only be enjoyed by nobles.

Above is a letter written in blood, and it seems that the person who wrote the letter could not find a pen and paper, so he could only write in blood.

"This is Princess Xuanzhen's handwritten letter, you can see it at a glance!"

General Shi Li opened the letter, and the others also stepped forward, and when they saw it, they couldn't help but gasp.

Brahman said, "Maha Pan tea is ordered to be in danger, and now that His Majesty the old king has returned safely, he personally ordered the killing of his own relatives for his own selfish desires, and until now, you are still working for such a person?"

General Shi Li looked at everyone, and everyone also looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
