Chapter 189: A Beat (2)
The night was deep, and the banquet came to an end for the time being, and the noise mixed with pain and excitement all returned to tranquility.
The iron pot on the fire was opened, and the broth smelled of pickles and cured meat. A veteran with dirt in his fingernails was gritty and slapped the pancakes hard on the edge of the pot.
Mu Chun, Lan Yu, Zhu Gaoxu and generals in the army sat around the pot with a calm expression.
"There is no other way. If you really attack Kongtong Village, you will have to attack the mountain!"
The commander of Yunnan Metropolitan Commander He Fu said first, "When it's dawn, I took people to touch the other side. It's not easy to attack. There are roads on the mountain, but there are castles on both sides of the road. There are no dead corners when the bows and arrows are shot down. The men are just living targets when they go up!"
He also carried the title of Ningyuan Hou, and was also an old subordinate who followed Lan Yu to fight the desert and went deep into the fishing sea. So he spoke casually, "This is still open, and the trap stinger in the secret is probably missing!"
Zhai Neng also said, "We can only fight head-on, and the firearm is not used at all. Even if our cannon can find their crotch, it will not hit the crotch at the angle of elevation." As he said, he had a gloomy face, "We can only let people open the way, use their lives to find out the location of their crotch, and then carry the small cannon to approach and knock it!"
"Then the dead man is in the sea!" Lan Yu cursed.
"Why?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at everyone, "Fire attacked the mountain? I remember there was something called Fengqiuo..."
"Ha!" Before he finished speaking, there was a chuckle around him.
All the people who are in the old army who are fighting old wars, they respect him as the emperor and grandson with respect and do not take it seriously, so the laughter seems very contemptuous.
Zhu Gaoxu was immediately furious and angry.
"It's winter now..." Lan Yu said with a glance at him.
Yes, in winter, the wind direction is wrong.
"Besides, we are down, they are high, how do you burn? How do you pour oil?" Lan Yu said, lifting the lid of the pot, and her face was suddenly covered with smoke.
Hold a bowl of broth in your hands, and your rough hands don’t feel hot. You can break the cake and soak it in and then put it in your mouth.
After eating half a bowl, Lan Yu continued to speak, "Actually, I always feel that the barbarian is not holding back well! I want to give us some ruthlessness!"
"In recent years, they have repeatedly surrendered and rebelled. I guess they have also thought about it and beat us up so that they can continue to be the local emperor here!"
These chieftains in Yunnan were indeed a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty.
They were nominally subordinates of the Ming Dynasty, but in private they were the overlords. The Shanmin tribes under their rule were their slaves, and the power of life and death was in the hands of the chieftains.
They also made it privately and had their own craftsmen to make weapons, which was like a country in the middle of the country.
In the past few years of the Ming Dynasty, I have been using a strategy of taking it slowly and stewing it slowly. Once the land is changed or the county is set up, it will eventually hurt the interests of the chieftain.
This kind of contradiction is completely irreconcilable, so they rebel every now and then, which is a headache.
"Actually, that guy Dao Menggan sent someone to send a letter!" Mu Chun spoke slowly.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled and said, "It's still the same thing, saying that he is a vulgar person, not deliberately provoking the Celestial Empire. As long as the Celestial Empire stops its troops, he is willing to change his past and become a good minister of our Ming Dynasty, haha!"
"Go to his grandma!" He Fu cursed, "Dog day, I say this when I get beaten up all these years, and I will be stinky when the scar heals." He cursed, pinching the joints on his big hand, "Capsy, sinister villain!"
Lan Yu looked at Mu Chun, "What do you mean?"
"I'm boring!" Mu Chun smiled, "Just just listen to him fart!" He sighed, "Since my father guarded Yunnan, these chieftains have not been able to make trouble for a year. The so-called long-term communication is worse than short-term communication, and the problem cannot be left for the future. In this battle, the military commander emperor alone prepared more than two million for us. There were not enough troops on the front line, and there were still troops from several surrounding provinces to mobilize in the future."
"We fight not according to our intentions, but according to the emperor's will and the will of our Ming Dynasty! Either we don't fight or we will cut him off!"
"No!" Lan Yu suddenly put down the bowl, "No!"
"What's wrong?" Mu Chun asked.
Lan Yu frowned and pondered, "The time he wrote the letter was wrong!" As he said, he thought seriously, "The two armies have not yet fought, so he has not written a letter to be complacent first. Even if he really has the intention to give in, he has no bargaining chips now?"
As he said that, Lan Yu looked at everyone, "He also knew that our Ming Dynasty had violated his tricks. He wanted us to stop the army. He had to show his strength."
"How do you show it? Of course, it's hard to distinguish it from us. When we are powerless, it's a good time for him to submit a confession. It's equivalent to giving us a step forward in the Ming Dynasty. If we can't catch it, we can only pinch our noses and accept it!"
When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads and thoughts.
That's true, it's true.
"A slowdown plan!" Mu Chun said hatred, "He wrote a letter and asked to surrender. According to the normal process, I will report this matter to the emperor. It will take at least half a month to go..."
"Dog day, it's time to waste!" He Fu also understood, "We went over the mountain and came from his side. He needed time to reorganize the defense line. Moreover, he knew that it was not easy for us to transport grain and grass... while it took time, we cut off our food route..."
Zhu Gaoxu's brain was running fast, listening and learning.
Before the army set out, there were two natural barriers, one was Gaoliang Gongshan and the other was Nujiang.
In order to prevent the Ming army from advancing, Dao Menggan and other chieftains set up defense lines along the Nujiang River. Now that the Ming army is coming over the mountains, Mu Chun breaks through the enemy's Nujiang defense line from the front...
It takes time for the Barbarian Toast to adjust front and side defense becomes a pincer attack...
"I still learn something!" Zhu Gaoxu said to himself, "The heads of these old military leaders react so quickly."
"No!" Lan Yu suddenly said again, "He has enough time!"
As he said that, he picked up a burning branch and put out the flames and began to draw pictures on the ground.
"Kongtong Village is their base camp." Lan Yu said, "Building on the mountain is indestructible. When we attack, we will only have someone to survive. Even if we have 100,000 troops, we will not be able to break it in a short period of time."
"When we attacked the mountain, he had every time to dispatch and command! Moreover, Xiao He said just now. What we are worried about is the grain road. If he wants to fight, he must make a fuss on the grain road!"
"In other words, he doesn't want to fight now, at least he doesn't want to fight at this time. Why not fight at this time? It's not because he's afraid of us. But he thinks that now is not the time for him to win?"
These old corpses nodded frequently when they heard it. But Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be listening to a book of heaven. The barbarians thought they could win? Isn’t this a joke?
"Why isn't it the time to win?" Lan Yu continued to say in a deep voice, "Because it is not able to completely destroy our power!" He said, sneering, "He is fighting a lot, and he is the ghost mind that keeps all tens of thousands of us here!"
"Hiss!" He Fu took a breath of air conditioning.
Mu Chun pondered, "All tens of thousands of us stay here, and there will be no war in the whole province of Yunnan. Then they will drive straight in..."
"They..." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but speak, "Do they have that big ambition?"
"I don't know if Dao Menggan is there, but there must be people behind him!" Lan Yu said, throwing the branches in his hand, "Myanmar!"
As he said that, he continued to ask, "Who is in charge now?"
Mu Chun thought, "I can't say anything about Mingji Si Fa Ji Xiu, you call me... I can't say it, it's so fucking.... On the surface, the envoy of the Myanmar Chinese Xuanwei Division of the Ming Dynasty, and secretly the Awa King of Myanmar!"
"The rebellion between Dao Menggan must have nothing to do with him!" Mu Chun continued, "They've been in a day or two."
"Give me five hundred cavalry!" Lan Yu suddenly said.
"Who are you?" Mu Chun seemed to understand a little.
"I'll walk around...I'll walk far away to see if there are any troops and horses in Myanmar!" Lan Yu said seriously.
"What if there is?" Zhu Gaoxu asked hurriedly.
"That's right!" Mu Chun smiled, "It's hitting Lan Old Shuai's unique skill!"
