A minister reported cautiously.

His body trembled slightly, and his fists clenched tightly.

He originally thought that the rebellion in the Ava region was just the unwillingness of the elites of the Ava country in the past, and he had already arrested hundreds of people for this reason, thinking that it could be quelled.

Unexpectedly, things were much worse than he imagined.

"Your Majesty, these mobs all have weapons in their hands, as if they were made by the Ming Kingdom. ”

"Bang!"

He threw his fist on the table made of the finest Burmese teak, his chest rising and falling.

"Ming Guo...... Mingguo!" He gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, his expression like a bloodthirsty wolf.

The ministers below all looked down at the ground, and they didn't even dare to come out.

After a long time, he said, "So, General Khan Lida can't bring troops to rescue the capital?"

The minister before said with a sad face, "Your Majesty, General Khan Lida not only said that he could not bring troops to help, but even asked us if we could ...... Can you give him some more troops? Now the scale of the rebellion is growing throughout the Ava region, with new mobs joining the rebels every day. And General Khan Lida only has 25,000 people in his hands, and the Ava region is so big, and the power of the Shan and Mon people is deep-rooted, he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress it!"

He finally couldn't help it, and his anger burst out, and he slammed a cup on the table to the ground.

The cup was made of copper, and it made a muffled sound when it hit the ground.

The hearts of all the ministers trembled.

He roared, "Reinforcements? How much does he want the royal capital to reinforce him? Twenty-five major troops, but he has a twenty-five thousand troops in his hands, and now the entire royal capital has only 50,000 troops!"

"Your Majesty, we still have 30,000 elite soldiers in the north, can we withdraw to defend the royal capital?" one of the ministers suggested.

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" another minister came out and said, "As soon as the troops in the north move, the Ming Kingdom will send troops directly from Yunnan, and when the time comes, we will withdraw 30,000, they can send 100,000 or 150,000 troops, once this army enters, we will have no power to turn the tables!"

What the minister said is not unreasonable. In the dangerous areas of northern Burma, as long as 30,000 troops can be stationed to refuse the entry of 100,000 or more soldiers of the Ming army, and once these 30,000 soldiers are withdrawn, or half of them are withdrawn, they may be broken by the Ming army.

Once northern Burma is broken, it will not be too convenient for the Ming army to enter the south, and it is entirely possible to send hundreds of thousands of troops at that time.

He was tired and kept rubbing his temples.

Just a few months ago, he was full of ambition to move the capital, to reform, to try to build a powerful dynasty.

But now, he suddenly found himself in the middle of internal and external troubles.

What worries him even more is that once the riots in the Ava area spread, it is likely to spread to the whole of Dong U - objectively speaking, except for the Burmese who support him, the other tribes have been forcibly conquered, and the time of conquest is not long, once there is a chance to overthrow him, these aliens will definitely rise up.

After thinking for a long time, Talon rose from his throne.

said, "The leader of the Ming army that landed from Daguang is the invincible Duke An Guo of the Ming Kingdom?"

A minister replied, "Yes, it is the Qin Shuhuai who quelled the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, unified the martial arts of the Ming Kingdom, and destroyed the Later Jin State (the Ming Dynasty already had this title). ”

"He only has one or two thousand troops?" asked Helon again.

"Yes, Your Majesty. A minister immediately replied.

The Dongwu soldiers who returned after suffering the defeat did not make a false report, but truthfully reported Qin Shuhuai's troops.

He paused, glanced at the ministers with an extremely firm gaze, and then said, "Tomorrow, order 40,000 elite soldiers, I want to drive the expedition in person! I don't believe it, that person is three heads and six arms! I don't believe it, my Dongwu warriors are not as good as the Ming soldiers!"

Ta Long's plan was that since Qin Shuhuai had few soldiers, he would concentrate his forces to deal with Qin Shuhuai first, and then return to the division to deal with the Ming army from Siam, which would be better than attacking at both ends at that time.

As long as the Ming army entering the country can be eliminated, then the civil strife can naturally be quelled.

I have to say that Ta Long's decision was very decisive, because if it drags on for another ten days and half a month, it is likely that there will be rebellions everywhere in Dongwu, plus the Ming army is under the royal capital, and it will be difficult for him to climb to the sky if he wants to turn the tables.

Therefore, although he knew that the preparations for the army tomorrow would inevitably be hasty, he still decided to set off tomorrow - a decisive battle with Qin Shuhuai one day earlier would mean one more chance of winning.

He believed that Qin Shuhuai, who was invincible and at the height of his army, would not avoid fighting.

On the other hand, even if Qin Shuhuai avoided and did not fight, it would be better than defending it in the royal capital.

The city of Bago is obviously a dead place, if it is lost, it will be lost, and if it is held, it is waiting to be besieged.

And as long as you have soldiers in your hands, the world is big outside, and there is time to fight with the Ming army.

At this time, Ta Long was ready for a long war, and it has to be said that his judgment was extremely accurate, and his willpower was amazing—not everyone had the courage to abandon the wealth and prosperity of the royal capital.

When the ministers heard this, they all panicked.

If it is to deal with the local army in Dongwu, they will think that it is okay for the king to conquer in person, after all, the previous kings, from Mang Yinglong to Ta Long, have done this, and which king of Dongwu has fought down the country with his ability.

But now they are facing the famous An Guogong of the Ming Kingdom, and they really don't think that he will win.

Why? Just because the Ming army easily captured the heavily guarded Daguang City and Gao Jiali, we can know how strong the current Ming army is.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

For a time, there were countless ministers who persuaded him.

But he saw farther than them, and he knew he could only bet on this one.

So he said, "I've made up my mind, so I don't have to discuss it anymore." Of the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the royal capital, I took 40,000 with me, and the other 10,000 were deployed along the Sitang River to prevent the Ming army from Siam from moving south together with the local defenders. ”

To the east of the royal capital of Bago is a large river called the Sidang River.

If Li Dingguo's troops wanted to attack Bagu, they would inevitably cross the river. If the Dongwu army wants to block Li Dingguo's department, the best way is of course to hold the Xidang River trench and win time for the decisive battle between Talong and Qin Shuhuai.

With an iron fist, the whole king immediately entered the state of war readiness before the king's expedition.

On the second day, he led the most elite 40,000 forbidden troops out of the city and went to the southwest, preparing to join the defenders of Dayan a hundred miles away, so that he would have 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, compared with Qin Shuhuai, who only had more than 10,000 elites, the advantage in strength was obvious.

Soon after he left the city, several Dongwu people immediately mounted their fast horses and galloped southwest.

As soon as night that day, Qin Shuhuai received news from Dong Wu Neiying, and he led 40,000 forbidden troops and 10,000 local Ahmudan royal troops to march in person.

Qin Shuhuai was also slightly shocked when he got the news, thinking that he was really short-tempered, so he did it himself?

However, when I thought that the other party had an army of 50,000, and I now had more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in my hands, it would be enough to choke if I worked hard.
