Three days later, Jin Ming arrived as promised, bringing two thousand soldiers: "Your Highness, we will leave two hundred people to guard the women and children of the homeland." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It should be, the Great Western Army has entered the battle!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Xiaolian now has ordnance, and immediately began to distribute weapons to them, now there are only 300 Burmese soldiers left in the city, plus Mu Xiaodi's 300 people and 300 Han soldiers, there are also 3,000 people, but a large number of elite Burmese soldiers are all disarmed and returned to the field, which makes Cheng Xiaolian a little regretful, but he can't kill all these people, won't it be difficult to move an inch at that time?

Therefore, Cheng Xiaolian could only swallow this evil breath temporarily, and only planned Meng Mi City, he called Jin Ming: "I don't know what General Jin thinks about attacking Meng Mi City?" ”

Jin Ming waved his hand: "Meng Mi City is not to worry, His Highness only needs to consider Ava City." ”

Cheng Xiaolian held back the joy on his face: "I don't know what General Jin's clever plan is?" ”

Jin Ming laughed: "Your Highness, do you know that a group of bandits entered Mengmi City a few days ago?" If it weren't for the quick arrival of Ava City's support, I'm afraid that the rich and noble families of Mengmi City would have been wiped out. ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, he knew the strength of that gang of bandits, it was okay to fight bravely, if he attacked the city, it would be a fantasy. Thinking of this, he asked, "How did they get into Mengmi City?" ”

Jin Ming's smile became even stronger: "I heard that it was because the bandits hadn't closed the city gate when they came, and the bandits rode fast horses and went in directly, and the two hundred bandits in the vanguard actually killed the thousands of defenders in the city, which can be regarded as a miracle." ”

Cheng Xiaolian swallowed his saliva: "Is there anything strange about this matter?" Two hundred people kill a few thousand? Even if a few thousand people stand still, two hundred people will have to die of exhaustion. ”

"But they moved, not only moved but also ran, Your Highness, you don't know, the location of Mengmi City is too special, he is only three days away from Ava City, if there is an elite army stationed in Mengmi City, do you think the Burmese king of Ava City can sleep? Maybe before you know it, you will be knocked into the city by a large army. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Ming also laughed helplessly: "And Mengmi City can be called the largest city except Ava City, and it can raise tens of thousands of soldiers, no matter who becomes the city lord of Mengmi City, it is the henchman of the King of Burma." Therefore, the successive city lords of Mengmi City all adhered to the same principle, the more useless the soldiers under them, the better, the calculation is an ordinary bandit and bandit to make trouble, they also have to ask the elite of the royal capital to come out, otherwise once the good news reaches Ava City, the king of Burma should not be able to sleep again. ”

Hearing this mileage, filial piety is understood, Meng Micheng thought of the Tianjin Sanwei around the Ming Jingshi, and the bad thing about the king of Burma is that he likes the general who likes the iron camp and flowing water, once there is a rebellion, it is too late to assign the general to the military camp, especially if the general and the rebel army are united, the king will be directly captured.

But the successive kings of Myanmar are also very helpless, Myanmar from top to bottom believe in Buddhism and not Confucianism, whether it is a big official or the people there is no psychological pressure on the prince of heaven and earth, as the so-called power is great, and the ambition can be the king of Myanmar, so the elite generals around Myanmar can not be fixed, and the army of Meng Micheng cannot be trained well, in order to defend the monarchy.

But one thing is very good, the surrounding countries are the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty and the successor of the Qing Dynasty, and generally do not fight each other, once there is a war with each other, the weaker side will immediately find the eldest brother to persuade peace, so if you want to fight, you can't fight. As for the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, they disdained to do anything to these barbarian people, they wanted the prestige of submission from all directions and did not like the domineering spirit of conquest everywhere, which was the national characteristic under the influence of Confucianism.

Therefore, it is useless for Meng Micheng to raise a large army, it has always been this strange situation, which caused those thieves to think that this time they were developed, not only to be able to grab silver, but also to sit on the ground and become kings. But what they didn't expect was that the elite of the royal capital soon arrived, and they were powerless in the face of the regular army in Burma, so they could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat and die in a foreign land.

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "In this way, wouldn't we be able to drive straight in and take Meng Mi directly?" ”

Jin Ming nodded: "I have read all the information just now, Your Highness, there is one thing we have to consider, it is very easy for us to defeat Meng Mi, and even say that the city lord of Meng Mi would rather be defeated by us than take the initiative to resist and defeat us, but at that time, the major families of Ava City are about to borrow food, and when the elite near Ava City arrives, it is impossible for us to pacify Mengmi City within a few days, and when the time comes, Mengmi City will be our burial place." ”

Cheng Xiaolian also quickly understood this, in the face of a few big families, there are still so many people in Meng Guangcheng that he occupies, not to mention that the power of those families is deeply rooted in Meng Micheng, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will really be killed by the bricks of the people in the city.

Looking at Cheng Xiaolian's frowning appearance, Jin Ming also laughed: "Your Highness, don't worry, we are not completely helpless." Don't forget the Gui family in the east of Ava City and the Burmese pythons in the city. ”

Jin Ming didn't know the true identity of the Burmese python, but after reading the intelligence, he knew that he was a big official in Burma, so he also counted him.

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "If you have any good ideas, hurry up and say it." ”

Jin Ming coughed: "My idea is this, let's not still fight Mengmi City, but we don't have to fight down, as long as we attract the elites near Ava City, when the time comes, our people near Ava City will attack Ava City, these elites will definitely withdraw, let's take advantage of the victory to pursue, and great things can be done." ”

Cheng Xiaolian thought for a moment and waved his hand: "This matter is inappropriate." ”

"Why not?"

"It is not known whether the Gui family near Ava City is willing to help us, even if they are willing to help us, their combat effectiveness is estimated to be not necessarily successful, let's take advantage of the victory to pursue, even if the people of Mengmi City have a pig brain, they also know that we must not be allowed to defeat Ava City, even if we exchange one life for another, we have to stop us, and when the time comes, we will be wiped out!"

Jin Ming's face turned a little pale with fright: "Your Highness, it's that I'm thinking too simply." ”

"No, your idea is good, and I want to use your idea too, but in a different way. Before the war, we have to meet first, the people of the Gui family, in addition, the Burmese python also has to exert some strength over there, several families are too arrogant, if you don't give them some color to see, I really think that Myanmar is their back garden. ”

Yang Youcai, who was next to him, muttered in a low voice: "Myanmar was originally people's back garden, but Your Highness, you, are much more arrogant than them." ”
