Of course, if there is no accident, Si Lunfa will basically not challenge the Ming army again.

This time, his vitality was greatly damaged, and those alien chieftains in Luchuan would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. Even within the Dai people, there will be careerists who are ready to move, and he has to put all his energy into dealing with the impending crisis in the country.

But when his sons and grandchildren come to their senses, whether they will keep their promises or not is not something he can manage.

This is also the reason why Si Lunfa has the courage to challenge the Ming Dynasty. The long history told him that the leader of the Fanbang and the Central Plains Dynasty won the clubhouse tender model, and if he lost, he could only punish himself with three cups. The return is too high, the risk is too small, what is there to be afraid of? Of course I'm going to fuck him if I have a chance!

This thought made Si Lunfa feel a little better, he ate some dry food, drank some rice wine, and then instructed Dao Gan Meng to cheer up and pay attention to the rout that arrived later.

Although there is nothing to boast about, it is indeed beneficial to escape as quickly as possible, at least to facilitate the defeat of the army behind. If they are slow to escape, they don't know where the routs who fled first will flee to.

Most of them fled into the mountains, fled back to their hometowns, and never saw anyone again.

~~

The next day, Si Lunfa stayed in Changning, while continuing to collect the defeated soldiers, and on the other hand, he sent someone to Yongchang to give an order, asking his son Si Xingfa to send half of the troops and bring 20,000 stone grain and grass to respond.

On a thousand-mile march, it is impossible for him not to leave people stationed at key points along the way, first, to protect his own back road, and second, to transport grain and grass.

Because Yongchang's position was too important, Si Lunfa sent his eldest son to garrison it. In order to protect the safety of Si Xingfa, coupled with the abundant troops at that time, Si Lunfa left 20,000 people. Unexpectedly, the idle chess hand at that time has now become a lifesaver.

By the evening, Silunfa had gathered more than 100,000 people. And told the hungry rout that reinforcements and food and grass would arrive soon. In addition, it's all at this time, and the Ming army hasn't caught up yet, which means that they really don't chase after it.

Isn't the situation gradually stabilizing?

At dinner that day, Si Lunfa had already stayed in a wooden hut built by the forbidden soldiers, and ate hot grilled fish with lemongrass and bread. Although they are two of the most common Dai foods, and no condiments are added due to the conditions, Si Lunfa devoured it and ate nothing left.

"Hiccup...... Si Lunfa burped and smiled at Dao Gan Meng on the side: "This king hasn't eaten so much for many years. ”

"The king's good appetite is a blessing for the country." Daogan Meng flattered and smiled: "These two dishes can be regarded as a great achievement, and they can be designated as national dishes when they go back." ”

"Haha, good!" Si Lunfa deeply agreed, and glanced at Dao Ganmeng with a smile: "Those who suffer with me, this king will not treat them badly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dao Gan Meng smiled happily: "Tomorrow almost everyone will be there, should we wait for the eldest prince to respond, or continue to move forward?" ”

"Keep going." Si Lunfa said categorically: "It's too unsafe to go deep into the enemy territory here. It's better to leave early and rest assured a day. ”

"The king has a point." Daogan Meng responded to the order to go down.

~~

The quality of Si Lunfa's sleep that night was much better than the night before, so he was very annoyed when he was woken up in the middle of the night.

"What's the matter? People have to go tomorrow morning......" he asked angrily, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

But before he finished speaking, he saw clearly that it was his eldest son who was standing in front of him. Si Lunfa couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "You came so fast? Did the grain bring? Those hungry soldiers are about to rebel, so they need to be fed ...... quickly."

Before he finished speaking, he saw his son's depressed face clearly, and his heart ached, and asked, "What, what's wrong?" ”

"Father," Si Xingfa knelt down with a crying voice: "Erchen can't stand you, Yongchang is lost, the 20,000 army is gone, and not a single grain of grain has been snatched out......"

"Why did I give birth to such a useless ...... of you" Si Lun scolded habitually, and immediately thought that he was even more useless, which shows that his son is indeed his own. He swallowed his words again, suppressed his anger and asked in a muffled voice, "How did you do it?" How can the 20,000-strong army say that it is gone?! ”

"Because the strength of the Ming army is ten times that of Erchen," Si Xingfa reported in frustration: "They surrounded us, bombarded our camp walls with artillery, fired countless rockets, and set fire to our camps and granaries. If the soldiers stay in the stockade, they will only be burned alive, and they can only risk death to break through. Erchen was lucky enough to break through under the protection of the forbidden soldiers, but most of them were not so lucky. ”

"Impossible!" Si Lunfa couldn't hold back and roared: "The Ming army is still in Nanjian, how can they fly to Yongchang?" Besides, they don't have that many troops! ”

"Really." Daogan Meng and other civil and military officers also heard about it, and the former said quietly: "The king forgot, the hundreds of thousands of guards trained in Kunming City?" ”

"Oh yes!" Si Lunfa suddenly remembered this stubble, sat back on the bed and said, "They have already completed the whole training?" ”

"It seems so." Dao Gan Meng said with a self-deprecating smile: "Besides, what if you don't recover?" Isn't it a hand-to-hand pinch to deal with us? ”

Whether it was Si Lunfa's father and son, Dao Gang and others, they did not refute his self-deprecating remarks. Obviously, he has been completely subdued by the Ming army and has played a psychological shadow.

"This king has been defeated, why are they sending so many soldiers for?" Si Lunfa rubbed his unkempt hair, and asked suspiciously: "Just to deal with Yongchang's soldiers, how can you use more than 100,000 horses?" ”

"They must have something else to do, and they have a lot of plans." Dao Gan Meng said in a deep voice.

"King, I don't care about these things now!" Seeing that the two of them couldn't get to the point, Brother Nai, who had been silent since his death, finally couldn't help but say: "The biggest problem now is that Yongchang is lost, and our way back to China is broken!" What the hell are we going to do?! ”

"yes, what to do?" All the civil and military forces also echoed it.

"What else can I do......" Si Lun sighed dejectedly: "Advance, you can't enter, you can't retreat, you can't retreat." I don't want to sit still, so I can only submit to it. ”

"Ah......" Zhong Wenwu looked surprised.

They were not surprised by the decision itself, in fact, at such a time, everyone considered surrendering.

They just didn't expect that Si Lunfa would say it directly. Shouldn't it be proposed by the minister, and then he said that as a king, even if he dies, he can't humiliate the country, and then the two sides repeatedly pulled, and finally under the persuasion of the ministers, he put the common people first, reluctantly put down his self-esteem, handed over the seal, and let them do it themselves?

"Don't be surprised, this king has already figured it out. Now the only way to preserve is to return to Shun, of course, it is best to return to Luchuan and Shun first, but since the way is blocked, it is not impossible to return to Shun now. Then Si Lunfa said lightly: "As long as the army is preserved, this king can live." If it is too late to surrender, in case it is completely wiped out by the Ming army, this king will be completely worthless. That's when it's a dead end. ”

"Wait for me." Dao Wuyang and the others nodded in response. This makes sense, but when it comes out of the king's mouth, it can only mean that he has no heart.

The tiger that crisscrosses the mountains and forests of central and southern China wants to be a domestic cat.
