Your Highness, this is already Burma. A Siamese general on a bantam said to the golden helmet general beside him.

The Golden Helmet Lord looked around and asked, "Hasn't the Tanma returned yet?" Have you ever found the Ming army? ”

"Not ...... yet"

Before the Siamese general could finish speaking, seven or eight cavalrymen had already come in front of him to kick up the dust, and he suddenly changed his words: "It seems that they are back." ”

The golden helmet master waved his hand and reined in the horse, and the general turned around and shouted: "Stop!" "The army soon stopped advancing.

"Report - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are about 10,000 Ming troops camped twenty miles away! The Ming Army's Daxu is written 'Annan Deputy Capital Tonghuang'! ”

The Golden Helmet Lord is none other than Na Lixuan. The black prince, one of the "Five Great Emperors of Siam" in history, is indeed dark-faced, but his eyes are blazing and powerful.

After listening to Tanma's report, Na Lixuan suddenly said: "The whole army rests in place, you can drink water, you can also eat some dry food, but no one is allowed to remove their armor." ”

The order was passed down, and the Siamese army began to rest in place, and the previous general accompanied Na Li Xuan, sat on the marching carpet on the side of the road, and asked Na Li Xuan: "Your Highness, do you want to rest for a while, and then ...... Combat? ”

Na Lixuan said expressionlessly: "Whether you want to fight or not, it's not my decision, it's Huang Zhiting's decision, I'm just waiting for a few other ways to explore the horses, and prepare for a sneak attack." ”

"Sneak attack?" The general subconsciously looked left and right, and saw that all around him were wastelands formed after the war of the previous year, and there was almost nothing except half-human-tall weeds, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Na Lixuan said lightly: "Although this Huang Zhiting is a woman, she defeated the main force of at least 60,000 Burmese troops with 20,000 people, which can already be determined. ”

"But she only has 10,000 people." That general said.

Na Lixuan snorted lightly: "How can you be sure that she only has 10,000 people?" Is it difficult to have one hand in the light and one hand in the dark? Besides, even if she only has 10,000 people, if those 10,000 people are composed of Guangxi wolf soldiers or Annan's garrison, do you think it is easy to deal with? You know, we only have 20,000 people. ”

"Although it may be difficult to deal with, but 20,000 against 10,000, the advantage is still ours, right?"

"If you only need to compare the number of people in the war, you will be invincible in the world tomorrow morning, can they still join forces with us before?" Na Lixuan shook her head: "We are fighting against the Burmese army, and it is quite difficult for 30,000 to win 30,000, but she is 20,000 to 60,000, how many of us think can be her 10,000?" ”

The general was silent. According to the ratio just now, they would have to have an army of 30,000 to compare with 10,000 people, but now they actually only have 20,000 people, and the rest of them are staying in Lanna Town to guard the place.

After a while, two more horse exploration teams came back, bringing the news that there were no other large troops hidden in the twenty miles around Huang Zhiting's department, and Na Lixuan was relieved.

At this time, the soldiers had also rested, and Na Lixuan ordered to continue to move forward and meet with Huang Zhiting.

At the same time, where Huang Zhiting was camped, there were also several teams of scouts who entered from the outside one after another, sending news from the surrounding areas to the army.

When the news of the last scout horse arrived, Huang Zhiting stood up, looked around at the generals who stood up in unison, and said lightly: "Na Lixuan's scout horse has been withdrawn, and General Liu is returning to the predetermined position as planned." Now, send a scout to inform Na Lixuan, and tell him that I have left camp and are ready to meet him. ”

The generals all smiled, and Ruan Song said: "Dutong, in the previous battle, our troops were unfavorable to block and let go of Mang Yingli, and the last general was ashamed in his heart. In this battle, please take our department as the vanguard, and our department will fight to the death, and be ashamed! ”

"The last time I got out of the reckless Yingli, it was not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself." Huang Zhiting said: "As for this battle...... It's okay if you want to be a pioneer, but you have to remember that this battle is positive for our department, and General Liu's department is strange. The Art of War: Win with the right and win with the odd. So although you are the vanguard, the first thing to do is to defend well, and when General Liu launches a surprise attack, it is the moment for you to defend and attack, do you understand? ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands!" Ruan Song hugged his fists.

Huang Zhiting looked around, and none of the generals objected, and couldn't help nodding in his heart. She knew what the generals meant by not speaking: Ruan Songbu took the initiative to ask for battle for the first time this time, and this move itself had unusual significance, and it was likely to mean that this general under Ruan Ti began to regard himself as Huang Zhiting's subordinate - at least, he could get used to being Huang Zhiting's subordinate.

In that case, of course, it is necessary to fulfill him. Anyway, whether it is Gao Sijin, Gao Silian, Huang Leopard and others now, they have a lot of combat achievements under their hands, and when they fight together later, it is impossible to be idle and have nothing to do, not to lose the credit of the vanguard officer this time.

Because of Huang Zhiting's "welcome", the distance between her and Na Lixuan's department was shortened quickly. In less than an hour, the two friends were far away near a small town called Pasan.

Coincidentally, there is a river between the two sides at the moment, and the situation is not much different from the situation when Na Li Xuan fought with the Chiang Mai Burmese army, but this time Na Li Xuan's department is still in the east of the river, and Huang Zhiting's department has replaced the position of the Burmese army last time and is located in the west of the river.

The Salween River, known as the Salween River, originates in the Tibetan Plateau, flows into Myanmar through Yunnan, and empties into the Madaban Bay.

Huang Zhiting narrowed her eyes slightly, and ordered to cross the river to summon the news, and invited Crown Prince Na Lixuan to cross the river to meet, and said that she had prepared a military luncheon.

However, after a while, Tanma came back unexpectedly and reported that Crown Prince Na Lixuan said that he was the "landlord of Tiannan" and that it was reasonable for him to host a banquet for the first meeting, so he invited Huang Zhiting to cross the river in turn. At the same time, Na Lixuan also generously said that he invited Huang Zhiting's department to cross the river together, and he could afford this meal.

As soon as Tanma's words were finished, Gao Sijin snorted and said, "Dutong, it seems that this Na Lixuan is really careful, for fear of being beaten by us." ”

The yellow leopard snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Just him? Even if my family fights hard, he can beat his crying father and mother, what do you want to hit half-way? ”

Gao Sijin shook his head and said: "Having said that, if we cross the river, he will have a chance to hit us one and a half crossing, although we may not be afraid, but we must always be careful." Especially Liu Zhongcheng's side is about to negotiate with the reckless thief, at this time, we can't make a slight mistake, so as not to weaken the prestige and look bad. ”

Huang Zhiting turned his head slightly, looked at Ruan Song and said, "General Ruan, what do you have to say?" ”

Ruan Song thought for a while and said, "The last general is willing to lead the headquarters to cross the river first, please wait for the last general to make a little preparation near the river bank before crossing the river." ”

"Seeing General Ruan's courage, Bendutong is very happy." Huang Zhiting smiled slightly, and said, "You can do the same, but ...... I don't think Na Lixuan will move troops, and you shouldn't make the action of arranging the defense line too obvious, so as not to make him suspicious. ”

Before Ruan Song could speak, the yellow leopard was a little strange and asked, "How did Dutong know that Na Lixuan would not move troops?" ”

Huang Zhiting said: "I have had a discussion with General Liu about this, and both of us think that since Na Lixuan will not bring his 30,000 troops over, as long as he is willing to come, he will definitely not have the intention of attacking our army first." Although there are only 20,000 troops in our army's headquarters, after defeating the Burmese army, we have surrendered a lot, and our army, including the Bago garrison, now has tens of thousands of troops in central and southern Burma, and it is not only meaningless for him to take the initiative to attack, but to seek death. ”

Gao Sijin frowned and said: "But if this guy miscalculated his strength because of the defeat of the Chiang Mai Burmese army, thinking that he could win in one battle, or he expected this battle to be ...... Uh, to be able to capture the Metropolitan Commander......"

"He's not that stupid." Huang Zhiting shook her head and said, "Even if you arrest me, what's the use?" You must not forget that in his eyes we are all Ming troops, and the current Ming troops in Burma are nominally under the command of Liu Zhongcheng - in that case, what's the point of arresting me? He will not do anything good except to anger Da Ming and anger Liu Zhongcheng.

What's more, his biggest trouble at the moment is not me, but Ruan Huang in the big city. Ruan Huang was under house arrest for his father, and now he is in a situation where he is coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if he does not obey his father's orders, his army may be unstable, but if he listens to the order, I don't know if Ruan Huang will order him to go to Dacheng alone to die. So for him, only I can save him at this moment, and he knows that this may be a bait, so he has to try to eat it. ”

Gao Sijin understood now, and suddenly said: "No wonder he came as soon as he was summoned, but he was extremely careful, he was afraid that what was waiting for him under this incense bait was a golden hook." ”

Huang Zhiting smiled slightly: "He is like this now, he is obviously suspicious, but he can't do it if he doesn't come...... Well, if you don't have any other doubts, let's take action. General Nguyen, you can prepare to cross the river. ”

"Yes! The last general commands! ”

Na Lixuan, who was on the other side of the Salween River, stared at Huang Zhiting's movements, and was very relieved to see that the other party began to prepare to cross the river in an orderly manner, and most of the worries and doubts in her heart were gone.

The previous general asked, "Your Highness, are our troops still preparing to attack?" ”

Na Lixuan shook his head: "Temporarily disarm the combat readiness, but I still have to remind them that if the other party's vanguard immediately opens up a beachhead to the east after crossing the river, our army must immediately prepare to attack." ”

The general said with some concern: "If this battle is the first for our army, I am afraid that it will ......."

"I know what you're worried about." Na Lixuan waved his hand and said: "But there is no way, if the other party arranges a beachhead after crossing the river, it means that they are hostile here, if I don't fight back first, I will be counted by it." But you don't have to think too much, even if I fight back, I will only disrupt the opponent's vanguard army, and then leave immediately, and I will not be entangled here, so as not to let the army from the Donghu City come east. ”

The general sighed: "If this is the case, our situation is not good, do we really want to rely on Lanna to fight against the Ming Dynasty?" Your Highness...... Cousin, my uncle is still in the hands of the Ming people, and you may have to bear the name of disobedience when the time comes. ”

It turned out that this person was not an ordinary general, but Na Lixuan's cousin.

Na Lixuan was silent for a while, and then said resolutely: "No one in the world can make me Na Lixuan submit, Myanmar can't, and neither can Daming." ”

The general wanted to say something but stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

In a short time, Nguyen Song's troops had already set up a sheepskin raft and began to cross the river, and after about half an hour, Ruan Song's troops had finished crossing the river and began to assist the army in the rear to cross the river. The soldiers of the Nguyen Song tribe who remained on the beachhead did not establish a position to the east, but only slightly expanded the beachhead and put on a simple defensive posture, and did not even set up Luchai and Reject Horses.

Na Lixuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the cousin beside him patted his chest: "Fortunately, the other party does not seem to have malicious intentions, Your Highness, ...... now"

"Ordered to dismantle combat readiness, and ordered the men to immediately bury the pot and cook, and not to be stingy." Na Lixuan commanded.

The general answered, turned around and ordered to go.

After another period of time, Huang Zhiting's troops had all crossed the river, and she ordered to tidy up her ranks a little, and then led her troops to the place where Na Lixuan was camped.

When they were less than a mile apart, Huang Zhiting ordered to set up camp and personally escorted a group of wolf soldiers forward.

At this time, Na Lixuan had also put her mind at ease, and when she saw that a woman on the other side dared to take the initiative to bring only the guards, she couldn't help but be in awe, and only brought roughly equivalent guards to the camp to greet her, and the two sides met in front of the gate.

"Na Li Xuan, the vice king of Siam, has seen Huang Dutong."

"Your Highness is gracious. I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness is extraordinary in martial arts, and a few days ago he broke through the Chiang Mai camp of the Burmese army, which made Zhiting even more admired. ”

"In front of Huang Dutong, how dare Xiao Wang boast of his martial arts. All the generals took the old land of Bagu lightly, and overcame the main force of the reckless thieves, but it was really a woman who did not let her eyebrows, and Xiao Wang was ashamed when she heard it. ”

Although Na Lixuan is Siamese, she speaks Chinese quite well, except for a slightly weird accent, and the words are almost the same as those of Han Chinese.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Na Lixuan sent an invitation, inviting Huang Zhiting and others to enter the camp, saying that she had prepared a luncheon for hospitality.

Huang Zhiting was not ambiguous, and really ordered the guards to go back and invite the generals to come - in fact, she left Gao Sijin to "take care of the house".

There was nothing wrong with this luncheon, Na Lixuan didn't know if it was because Huang Zhiting was a woman after all, or for other reasons, although the banquet was generous, there was no wine. While the two sides were eating, Na Lixuan began to complain to Huang Zhiting.

The complaint is nothing more than talking about Ruan Huang's incident, Huang Zhiting made a deferential appearance, as if she didn't know what Ruan Huang had done, and even feigned anger several times during the banquet, saying that Ruan Huang was wanton and wanton, and she must severely punish Yunyun.

Since there was no drinking, the feast was eaten quite quickly. After the withdrawal, Huang Zhiting did not leave immediately, but asked Na Lixuan about Ruan Huang in detail again, and it sounded like she was quite puzzled by Ruan Huang's actions, as if she could not understand Ruan Huang's actions.

Na Lixuan was really a little puzzled, and said secretly: Could it be that what Ruan Huang did was really just nonsense?

But he still explained what he knew to Huang Zhiting in detail, and said that he absolutely did not show any malice towards Ruan Huang, and Ruan Huang's actions were completely unreasonable.

Huang Zhiting nodded again and again when she heard this, and finally made a conclusion with a pale face: "Your Highness, this matter may be troublesome." ”

Na Lixuan frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Huang Zhiting said: "I suspect that Ruan Huang's guy may have objections - His Highness should know that Ruan Huang was originally a general, and he must be dissatisfied with his current status in Annan and want to take the opportunity to stand on his own!" ”

Na Lixuan was stunned at first, and then thought about it and felt that it seemed to make some sense, and couldn't help frowning: "How is that good?" ”

Huang Zhiting pondered for a moment and said: "The matter is serious, I still have to test it one last time, I will go to repair a letter with him, and order him to come to Donghu to meet me and see if he listens to the order." If he obeys the order, then there is still a chance for the matter to turn around, but if he does not obey the order......"

Na Lixuan immediately asked, "What if you don't obey the order?" ”

Huang Zhiting sighed: "Then I have to accompany His Highness to the big city, I believe that as long as I go in person, His Highness will not bear the infamy." ”

Na Lixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "This is very good, then bother Huang Dutong to hurry up and repair the book and send it to Dacheng." ”

Huang Zhiting nodded, stood up, and said naturally: "My Great Seal Customs is in the camp, and I can't write a letter here, so I will leave first." ”

This is reasonable, Na Lixuan did not doubt it, and immediately sent Huang Zhiting out of the camp in person.

The group didn't go far after leaving the camp, Ruan Song breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's dangerous...... Don't hide it from Dutong, the last general is really worried that he will detain Dutong, but fortunately, Dutong has been prepared. ”

Huang Zhiting actually pinched a cold sweat herself, but it was not easy to show it at this time, so she just asked, "Have you observed all the arrangements in his camp?" Send the arrangement to General Liu immediately, I guess General Liu should already be in place. ”
