Sun Kewang finally retreated, he didn't pay attention to the routs that could not be gathered, and retreated first with his core strength, the forbidden army, and collected the defeated soldiers and horses as much as possible along the way.

After a long time of fighting, everyone was tired, and they were unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so they could only watch Sun Kewang flee in defeat.

In this battle, the Xia army won a complete victory, beheaded more than 8,000 people, captured more than 10,000 people, captured more than 40 war elephants, and the 40,000 army of the Qin army was almost wiped out.

The Xia army also suffered a lot of losses, directly killed more than 5,000 and wounded more than 8,000, of which nearly 2,000 were seriously wounded and died.

This instead gave Sun Kewang a chance to escape.

After withdrawing Meng Gong Xing, Sun Kewang gathered his henchmen to discuss where to withdraw next, Prime Minister Fan Yingxu was reluctant to let go of this city that they had worked hard for five years, but he also knew that after the defeat of the Salween River, Meng Gong Xing was destined to be unable to hold.

So, after looking at the map, he thought it over and quickly had an idea.

He pointed to the Ayutthaya Dynasty (Ayutthaya) in the south of the map, and said to Sun Kewang, "Your Majesty, if you want to fight elsewhere, the minister thinks that the Ayutthaya Dynasty is a good place to go, and it is also the only place in my Great Qin that can continue after the war."

Sun Kewang didn't speak immediately, and the generals of the forbidden army who participated in the discussion immediately retorted: "The Ayutthaya Dynasty is strong and strong, and it is a vassal of the new Lanna, if our army wants to go to the Ayutthaya Dynasty, it must pass through Lanna, and the Lanna King will definitely report to the King of Ayutthaya in advance."

After speaking, he changed his words and said, "According to the minister's opinion, the Nanzhang country is rich and the army is weak, and I can easily defeat the weak brigade of Nanzhang in the battle of Nanzhang, and use the wealth of Nanzhang to raise a large army again to fight against the Xia army."

"Ridiculous!" Fan Yingxu reprimanded angrily, "You only know that the southern palm is rich and the soldiers are weak, but you don't know that the danger is right in front of you, the southern palm country is connected to Yungui in the north, and Jiaozhi in the east, and my *** battle in the south is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net, at that time, the Xia army can attack me from the east, west, and north at any time, if you turn to the south palm, this place is the burial place of my Great Qin monarchs!"

Sun Kewang nodded, although he coveted the wealth of Nanzhang, but Fan Yingxu's words were not unreasonable, if he went to Nanzhang, he would only be caught in the middle.

The general of the forbidden army was reprimanded by Fan Yingxu like this, although he was not convinced, he had nothing to say, so he could only blush, lower his head and say no more.

At this time, the crown prince Sun Zhengqi spoke: "Prime Minister, the concern of the Marquis of Dingxing is not unreasonable, what if the king of Lanna sends a message to the king of Ayutthaya and tells Ayutthaya to take precautions in advance?"

Fan Yingxu smiled slightly, without any worry, he said: "The new monarch of Ayutthaya is dead, its new monarch is still in infancy, and the nobles are regent, and the nobles in the country are busy with party disputes, how can they have the energy to guard against us, as long as our soldiers are fast, kill Sukhothai before Lanna and Ayutthaya react, go down the Chao Phraya River, and raid Ayutthaya, then the great cause can be accomplished."

"It's a little too risky." Sun Zhengqi said with some dumbfounded, his worries were not unreasonable, the Ayutthaya Dynasty was still a regional power in Southeast Asia after all, and the Qin army plus Wang Ziqi's soldiers and horses were less than 30,000, and it was really a bit wishful thinking to rely on these 30,000 Qin troops to conquer Ayutthaya.

Sun Kewang also frowned, he also thought that this plan was too risky, and the current Qin army could not afford to fail once.

In the face of the prince's doubts, Fan Yingxu explained: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the raid on the city is not to conquer the city, the city is very populous, and with the strength of our Qin army, even if it is taken by luck, it will not be able to control the city, our goal is to force the king of the city to sign an alliance under the city, and cede the city so that our army has a place to breathe."

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the Xia army blocking the road to Donghu, he actually wanted to go west, on the one hand, to avenge the betrayal of the Burmese king, and on the other hand, to go all the way to the west, fleeing farther away so that the Xia army could not pursue the past.

Sun Kewang listened to his explanation, thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded, and said, "Just according to what the prime minister said, take advantage of the Xia army's inability to attack and count

The city has two grains and grass, prepare to retreat south, and at the same time order the general to lead the army back to the court, and the two armies will quickly move south after converging."

"Yes."

The people answered.

……

With Sun Kewang's order, Sun Qin began to prepare to run away again, and on the other side, Liu Wenxiu's military text was also sent to Jiangning City in just over half a month.

This good news made the government and the opposition breathe a sigh of relief, because before that, the military document that reported Li Mingzhong's defeat was sent to Beijing first, which made some ministers in the court and central government begin to worry about whether Sun Kewang would become stronger in the past five years, and whether he would counterattack Yunnan and threaten the southwestern territory of the imperial court.

And now, after Liu Wenxiu's good news arrived, the worried voice of the DPRK and China suddenly disappeared.

Su Yan did not show any emotional changes in this good news, in fact, Liu Wenxiu's defeat at the hands of Sun Kewang would surprise him, because he decided that there would be no setbacks in this battle against Qin.

However, Liu Wenxiu's troops and horses suffered a lot of losses, and it was a problem that he could not continue to attack Meng Gong in a short time.

Sun Kewang broke through Ava City and supported Mang Bai as king, which gave Su Yan an excuse to use troops - the Celestial Empire did not recognize the legitimacy of Mang Bai's throne, so they raised troops to fight.

It is worth mentioning that after Sun Kewang hanged Mangda, he also sank his queen and princes to the bottom of the river, and the legitimate heirs of Mangda's line were cut off, and after the Celestial Empire invaded Ava and deposed the usurper Mangbai, he could use the excuse that there was no legal heir, follow the example of Dayuan, and directly put Myanmar under the direct rule of the imperial court and set up a Burmese province.

This is Su Yan's whole plan, in any case, Burma is bound to win, Myanmar is rich in various natural resources, and it will be one of the production areas of rubber resources in the future, and when he is used by humans a hundred years later, his descendants will be able to obtain resources directly within the territory of the imperial court, without obtaining them from foreign countries.

Of course, in order to prevent the appearance of a loser like Ming Xuanzong in his descendants, and give up the territory outside the Han land that his ancestors had fought hard, when he is old, he must compile a special book of ancestral teachings, so that the emperors of the later dynasties can fully defend the territory left by his ancestors.

After thinking about it a little, Su Yan decided to form a new army in Yunnan-Guizhou and other southwestern provinces, this new army is only a bit overkill to deal with the Burmese, and they will also be the main ones in the future war against Southeast Asian countries.

With the formation of the new army, the old army, which is still in existence in the southwestern provinces, will be able to disarm and retain only a few soldiers.
