Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1131 The art master is bold

"Your Highness, this is already within the territory of Myanmar." A general of the Siamese army riding on a bantam said to the golden helmeted general beside him.

General Jin Helmet looked around and asked, "Is there no return for the horse search? Have you ever found the Ming army?"

"not yet……"

Before the general of the Siam army could finish his sentence, seven or eight cavalrymen had already raised dust in front of them, and he immediately changed his words: "It seems that they are back."

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

"Report—His Royal Highness, there are about [-] Ming troops camping twenty miles away! The Ming army's big banner reads 'Annan Deputy Capital Commander Huang'!"

The Golden Helmet General is none other than Na Lixuan.The Black Prince, one of the "Five Emperors of Siam" in history, indeed had a dark complexion, but his eyes were piercing and powerful.

After listening to Tan Ma's report, Na Lixuan suddenly said: "The whole army can rest in place, drink water, and eat some dry food, but no one is allowed to take off their armor."

The order was passed on, and the Siam army began to rest at the same place. The former general accompanied Na Lixuan, sitting on the marching carpet by the roadside, and asked Na Lixuan: "Your Highness, do you want to take a rest, and then... ...combat?"

Na Lixuan said expressionlessly: "Whether to fight or not is not up to me, it's Huang Zhiting's decision. I'm just waiting for the other groups to explore and prepare for a surprise attack."

"Sneak attack?" The general looked around subconsciously, and saw that the surrounding area was surrounded by the wasteland formed after the wars in previous years. There was almost nothing except weeds half the height of a person, so he couldn't help being a little suspicious.

Na Lixuan said indifferently: "Although this Huang Zhiting is a woman, she defeated at least 2 main forces of the Burmese army with [-] people. This is already certain. For such a person, even the slightest carelessness may lead to death. "

"But she only has 1 people." The general said.

Na Lixuan snorted softly: "How can you be sure that she only has 1 people? Is it difficult to do it openly and secretly? Besides, even if she only has 1 people, if those 1 people belong to Guangxi Wolf Soldiers or Annan Do you think it is easy to deal with the garrison? You know, we only have 2 people."

"Although it may be difficult to deal with, but if [-] fights [-], the advantage is still with us?"

"If you only need to compare the number of people in the war, the world will be invincible in the morning. Would they still be able to join us?" Na Lixuan shook her head: "We are fighting the Burmese army. It is very difficult for us to win 1. But she won [-] with [-], how many of us do you think can be her [-]?"

The general stopped talking.Calculated according to the ratio just now, they would have to have an army of 1 to compare with 2 others, but now they actually only have [-], and the rest stayed in Lanna to guard the place.

After a while, two more horse scouting teams came back, and they brought news that there were no other large groups of troops hiding within twenty miles of Huang Zhiting's headquarters, so Na Lixuan felt relieved.

At this time, the soldiers had already rested, so Na Lixuan ordered to move on to meet Huang Zhiting.

At the same time, at the place where Huang Zhiting camped, several scouts came in from outside one after another, sending news of the surrounding area to the army.

When the news of the last scouting horse arrived, Huang Zhiting stood up, looked around at the generals who stood up in unison, and said indifferently: "Na Lixuan's scouting horse has been withdrawn, and General Liu is going back to the predetermined position according to the plan. Now, send out scouts to inform Na Lixuan, and tell him that I have left camp and am ready to welcome his arrival."

All the generals showed smiles, among them Ruan Song said: "Du Tong, in the previous battle, our troops were not good at blocking, and let Mang Yingli go, and the last general felt ashamed. In this battle, please use our troops as the vanguard. Fight with all your might, and you will be ashamed!"

"The last time you got out of Mangyingli, it was not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself." Huang Zhiting said, "As for this battle...you can be a vanguard, but you have to remember, this battle is ours. , General Liu’s department is surprised. The law of war says: use justice to win by surprise. So although you are a vanguard, the first thing to do is to defend well. When General Liu launches a surprise attack, it is the moment for you to turn defense into offense. Do you understand?"

"Yes, the general will understand!" Ruan Song clasped his fists and said.

Huang Zhiting looked around, and no one of the generals expressed any objection, so she couldn't help nodding inwardly.She knew what the generals meant by not speaking: this was the first time that Ruan Song's department took the initiative to ask for a fight. This move itself had an unusual meaning, and it probably meant that the general under Ruan Juan's command began to regard himself as Huang Zhiting's subordinate— —At least, he can get used to being Huang Zhiting's subordinate.

That being the case, of course he must be fulfilled.Anyway, whether it is Gao Sijin, Gao Silian, Huang Bao, etc., they have a lot of military exploits under their hands, and they will not be idle when they fight together later.

Because of Huang Zhiting's "going out to welcome", the distance between her and Na Lixuan's unit has been shortened very quickly.In less than an hour, the two parties saw each other from a distance near a small town called Pasang.

Coincidentally, there is a river between the two sides at this moment, and the situation is not much different from the situation when Nalixuan fought with the Burmese army in Chiang Mai, except that this time Nalixuan's troops are still in the east of the river, and Huang Zhiting's troops replaced The last time the Burmese Army was located was in Hexi.

This river is called the Salween River, which originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flows into Myanmar through Yunnan, and flows into the Madaban Bay.

Huang Zhiting squinted her eyes slightly, and ordered to send a message across the river to invite Crown Prince Na Lixuan to meet across the river, and said that a military luncheon had been prepared.

However, after a while, Tan Ma came back as expected and reported that Crown Prince Na Lixuan said that he was the "landlord of the south of the world", and it was reasonable for him to host a banquet for the first meeting, so he invited Huang Zhiting to cross the river instead.At the same time, Na Lixuan also generously expressed that she would invite Huang Zhiting's men to cross the river together, and he could afford this meal.

As soon as Tan Ma's words were finished, Gao Sijin let out a "bah" and said, "Dutong, it seems that Na Lixuan is really careful, for fear of being beaten halfway by us."

Huang Bao snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Just rely on him? Even if my family's governor beats hard, he can still make him cry. Why do you want to hit him halfway?"

Gao Sijin shook his head and said: "Although that is the case, if we cross the river, he will have a chance to hit us halfway across the river. Although we may not be afraid, we must always be careful. Especially when Liu Zhongcheng is going to fight with the reckless thief Negotiations, we can't make any mistakes at this time, so as not to weaken our prestige and make us look bad."

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

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

"I am very happy to see General Ruan's courage." Huang Zhiting smiled slightly, and said, "You can do it like this, but... I don't think Na Lixuan will mobilize troops, so don't make arrangements for him." The movement of the defensive line was too obvious to prevent him from being suspicious."

Ruan Song hadn't spoken yet, but Huang Bao was a little strange, and asked, "How does Du Tong know that Na Lixuan won't mobilize troops?"

Huang Zhiting said: "General Liu and I had a discussion about this, both of us think that since Na Lixuan won't bring his [-] troops here, as long as he is willing to come, he will definitely not attack first. The thoughts of our army. Because our army headquarters has only [-] soldiers, but after defeating the Burmese army, it has retreated a lot. Including the Bago garrison, our army now has tens of thousands in the central and southern Myanmar regions. The army, his active attack is not only meaningless, but also seeking death."

Gao Sijin frowned and said: "But if this guy miscalculated his own strength because he defeated the Burmese army in Chiang Mai, thinking that he could win in one battle, or he expected that this battle would... er, capture Dutong himself..."

"He's not that stupid." Huang Zhiting shook her head and said, "Even if you catch me, what's the use? Don't forget, in his eyes, we are all the Ming army, and the Ming army in Burma is nominally I was following Liu Zhongcheng's command—if that's the case, what's the point of arresting me? Apart from angering Daming and Liu Zhongcheng, he won't do any good.

What's more, his biggest trouble right now is not me, but Ruan Huang from Dacheng.Ruan Huang put his father under house arrest, and now he is in a situation where he is coercing the emperor to order the princes. If he doesn't obey his father's order, his own army may be unstable, but if he obeys the order, I don't know if Ruan Huang will order him Go alone to the big city to die.So for him, at this moment, only I can save him. He knew it might be a bait, so he had no choice but to try to eat it. "

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

Huang Zhiting smiled slightly and said: "He is like this now. He is obviously doubtful, but he can't do it if he doesn't come... Well, if you have no other doubts, then act. General Ruan, you can prepare to cross the river."

"Yes! The last general takes orders!"

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

The general before asked: "Your Highness, is our army still preparing to attack?"

Na Lixuan shook her head: "Temporarily cancel the combat readiness, but I still have to remind them that if the opponent's vanguard immediately goes east to open a beachhead after crossing the river, our army must immediately prepare to launch an attack."

The general was a little worried and said: "If our army starts this battle first, I'm afraid..."

"I know what you're worried about." Na Lixuan waved her hand and said, "But there's nothing you can do about it. If the other party sets up a beachhead after crossing the river, it means that they are hostile here. If I don't fight back first, I will definitely It counts. But you don’t have to think too much, even if I fight back, I will only disrupt the vanguard of the opponent, and then leave immediately, I will not entangle here, lest the army from Dongyu City come east.”

The general sighed: "If this is the case, our situation is not very good. Are we really going to rely on mere Lanna to fight against Daming? Your Highness... cousin, uncle is still in Ming's hands, and you may have to bear the burden by then." The name of disobedience."

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

Na Lixuan remained silent for a while, and then said decisively: "No one in the world can make me, Na Lixuan, submit, not in Myanmar, nor in Daming."

The general hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

Not long after, Ruan Song's troops had tied up the sheepskin rafts and started to cross the river. 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 Ruan Song soldiers who stayed at the beach did not establish a position eastward, but just slightly expanded the beach and put on a simple defensive posture. They didn't even set up Luchai and Juma.

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

"Order to cancel the war readiness, order the cooks to bury the pot and cook immediately, don't be stingy." Na Lixuan ordered.

The general responded, and turned around to order and arrange.

After another period of time, all Huang Zhiting's troops had crossed the river, she ordered the troops to be sorted out, and then led the troops to the place where Na Lixuan was camping.

When the distance was less than one mile, Huang Zhiting ordered the camp to be set up, and personally led a group of wolf soldiers to escort them forward.

At this moment, Na Lixuan was also relieved, and saw that a woman from the other party dared to come here with only guards, she couldn't help being awed, she also brought only about the same amount of guards, and went out of the camp to greet her, and the two sides met in front of the gate.

"Na Lixuan, Vice King of Siam, has met Huang Dutong."

"Your Highness is being polite. I have heard for a long time that His Highness is extraordinary in martial arts. He managed to break the Burmese army's camp in Chiang Mai a few days ago, which made Zhiting even more admired."

"In front of Huang Dutong, Xiao Wang dares to boast of being brave. Dutong took the old land of Bogu lightly and conquered the main force of the reckless thieves. In fact, it is a woman who does not give up to a man. Xiao Wang feels ashamed when he hears it."

Although Na Lixuan is a Siamese, she can speak Chinese quite well. Except for a slightly weird accent, her vocabulary is almost the same as that of a Han Chinese.

After the two exchanged some polite words, Na Lixuan sent out an invitation for Huang Zhiting and others to enter the camp, saying that she had prepared a luncheon for them.

Huang Zhiting was also unambiguous, and she really ordered the guards to go back and invite the generals to come - in fact, she left Gao Sijin to "watch the house".

There was nothing wrong with this luncheon. Na Lixuan didn't know whether it was due to the fact that Huang Zhiting was a woman after all, or for other reasons. Although the banquet was generous, there was no wine prepared.While the two were eating, Na Lixuan began to complain to Huang Zhiting.

Complaining was nothing more than about Ruan Huang's incident. Huang Zhiting pretended to be listening attentively, as if she didn't know what Ruan Huang was doing. During the meeting, she even feigned anger a few times, saying that Ruan Huang had acted recklessly, and she must punish Yunyun severely. .

Since there was no wine, the feast went quickly.After withdrawing from the meeting, Huang Zhiting did not leave immediately, but asked Na Lixuan about Ruan Huang in detail again. It sounded like she was quite puzzled by Ruan Huang's actions, as if she couldn't understand Ruan Huang's actions.

Na Lixuan was really puzzled, and thought to herself: Could it be that what Ruan Huang did was really just doing something wrong?
But he still explained what he learned 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, and finally said with a livid face: "Your Highness, this matter may be troublesome."

Na Lixuan frowned and asked, "What does Du Tong mean by this?"

Huang Zhiting said: "I suspect that Ruan Huang might have objections—Your Highness should know that Ruan Huang was born as a general. He must be dissatisfied with his current position in Annan and wants to take the opportunity to stand on his own!"

Na Lixuan was stunned at first, but after thinking about it again, she felt that there seemed to be some reason, so she couldn't help frowning: "Then what should I do?"

Huang Zhiting pondered for a moment, and said: "This is a big matter, I still have to test it one last time. I will write a letter to him and order him to come to Dongyu to meet me and see if he obeys the order. If he obeys the order, then There is still a chance to turn this matter around, but if you don't obey orders..."

Na Lixuan immediately asked: "How about not obeying the order?"

Huang Zhiting sighed: "Then I have no choice but to accompany His Highness to the big city. I believe that as long as I go there in person, His Highness will not be infamous."

Na Lixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "It's very good, then please trouble Huang Dutong to quickly write a copy and send it to Dacheng."

Huang Zhiting nodded, stood up, and said naturally: "My big seal is in the camp, and I can't write letters here, so I will take my leave first."

These words made sense, Na Lixuan had no doubts, and immediately sent Huang Zhiting out of the camp personally.

The group of people didn't go far after they left the camp, Ruan Song let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's dangerous... Don't hide Dutong, the general is really worried that he will detain Dutong. Fortunately, Dutong was prepared."

Huang Zhiting was actually sweating secretly, but it was hard to show it at this time, so she just asked: "Have you observed the layout of his camp? Send the layout situation to General Liu immediately. I guess General Liu should have already done it." It's in place."
