Bright Spring

He pondered for a while, and quickly replied: "Myanmar's consolation envoy may have misunderstood. Meng Yangsi is the Xuanwei department conferred by the Ming court. This king never intends to destroy Meng Yang."

Diao Tuyu and Jun Wenwu at the scene were all stunned and looked sideways, as if they thought Zhu Gaoxu had said something wrong.

The Burmese envoy was also surprised and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han has brought a large army from afar, what's the matter?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "This king only wants to cure the crime of disobeying the law, and does not want to carve up and eliminate the entire Meng Yangsi."

The Burmese envoy was at a loss, very confused and embarrassed.Zhu Gaoxu ordered the officials to take him down to settle down.

As soon as the envoy left, there was an uproar in the big tent of the Chinese army, and everyone talked about it, not knowing why.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hands, and everyone became quieter.He was silent for a moment, and said: "The Si family is arrogant and disobedient, and I only call it [-] soldiers from Yunnan. But Burma will send [-] troops at every turn. If Burma has the heart of disobedience, we So what?"

Only then did everyone understand, and Liu Ying took the lead in admiring: "His Royal Highness is far-sighted, sees the end and waits for what he sees!"

It is obvious that the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of the 10 Burmese army, but it is another matter to have an expedition of [-] troops.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, looked at the pampered Diao Tuyu, and the woman who followed him on the battlefield, and said: "Myanmar has ambitions, if Mr. Diao Shi wants to monopolize Mengyang, he has to think about whether he can win Myanmar. .”

...But Sishi refused to fight, and Zhu Gaoxu was still at a loss what to do about the matter in front of him.

The army was getting closer and closer to Meng Yangsi's administrative office, but Zhu Gaoxu ordered to slow down the march instead.He was afraid that he would scare away Sixingfa, and then the two armies would chase and hide and seek. How could there be a way to fight this battle?

Since the Si family didn't seem to want to fight this war, Zhu Gaoxu thought hard and came up with a way not to fight.

The only way not to fight is to negotiate peace.

In this kind of mountain and forest area, fighting is really a fire, and it seems that the only way to talk is to fight while fighting.

Things in the world often do not go as they wish, and justice and revenge are often not so vigorous. The world is always gray and it is difficult to distinguish between black and white.

Zhu Gaoxu was filled with anger...but after weighing the pros and cons, he still decided to swallow that bad breath!Those who know the current affairs are heroes and choose to compromise.

He wrote a letter with his own hand, and sent envoys to negotiate with Meng Yangsi with a white flag.

Zhu Gaoxu's method is to leave the Burmese envoys first; then wait for the envoys of Meng Yangsi to arrive, just like the Yang family in Han Dynasty's mansion, and ask Meng Yangsi to listen to Burma's ambitions.Then ask Meng Yangsi to read the letter from the Burmese Propaganda Envoy...so that Sixingfa can understand that the Ming court is not the only one who wants to eat his meat.

...When Sixingfa understands his situation, Zhu Gaoxu is ready. At that time, he will put forward a condition that everyone can accept.

The blame for the massacre at the Jade Mine was all blamed on a certain general of the Si family, and Si Xingfa was asked to see who disliked them, and arrest a group of people to carry out the crime.Then he instigated Sixingfa to write a letter to plead guilty. The charge was to protect his shortcomings and refused to hand over the offender's family general.

The government office and population of Mengyang Division moved westward to the west of the Dajinsha River, and Sixingfa was still the leader of Mengyang Division; Mengyang Division also gave up the site where the emerald mine was located, and handed it over to the Diao family and the Ming army for joint management .

Yunnan will also make compensation. The method is: the previous profit sharing treaty of 800 taels of silver per year is still valid; the Ming army retreats, and the two sides repair it again.

Zhu Gaoxu made a "crackling" calculation in his stomach, thinking that this condition and both of them should be reluctant to accept... The people of the Ming army were brutally massacred in the mine. concession?

And as long as Sixingfa accepts this condition, it is more cost-effective than his strategy of passively avoiding the attack of the Ming army. At least he doesn't have to run away anymore... So Sijia's property and population near the city of his administration no longer need to worry about being looted by the Ming army . ...

Chapter 282 I don't know what to do

The sun shines on the sandy ground of the river beach with a pale luster. There is a large sparse forest deep in the horizon, and the treetops undulate faintly in the breeze.It's just a sunny and peaceful morning.

Standing outside the fence of the barracks, Zhu Gaoxu watched the shadows of a group of troops approaching from a distance through the sparse woods.The soldiers nearby all waited silently.

The team of cavalry gradually approached, protecting an empty horse in the middle; but there seemed to be something on the back of the empty horse.It was only after a group of people got closer that people could see clearly that there was a human head on the back of the empty horse!

The blood-stained human head, with dirty and messy hair, was fixed on the horse's back by a rope.In the mouth on the head, there is a piece of rice paper biting.Zhu Gaoxu signaled the sergeant to take down the piece of paper, took it over and looked at it, it was the letter written by Zhu Gaoxu to Sixingfa, and it was covered with blood.

"Damn it!" A military general scolded.

Zhu Gaoxu's skin was tanned and red like a pig's liver.He couldn't say a word, his face was hot, as if he had just been slapped by "crackling".

After a long time, he finally took a deep breath, and then choked out a sentence: "Order the whole army to move out immediately, and continue to march towards Mengyang City!"

unreasonable.Zhu Gaoxu said with a voice in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Shame and anger are useless.What the opponent did completely made Zhu Gaoxu miscalculate.Sometimes he couldn't help but think, is there such a big gap between his way of thinking and the ancients?Why is the chieftain's reaction always different from what he thought!

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't think he was wrong!In this world, no matter what ordinary people's ideas are, some things will always operate according to objective rules.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe that Si's actions could reap any benefits.The final result is nothing more than that both parties are very unhappy, as if they each ate a pile of dirt.

...The next day, just when Zhu Gaoxu thought that chieftain of the Si clan was going to avoid the war and stalk him to the end, he guessed wrong again.

Just after dawn, the scouts went to the camp to report urgently, and found that a large number of chieftain troops had gathered in the north!

"Him!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed suddenly, not knowing whether he felt absurd or pleasantly surprised.

This war has been fought until now, except that he guessed the enemy's situation in the first battle, which was only a tactical thing; after that, until now, Zhu Gaoxu no longer knows what the Si family wants to do, nor why the opponent wants to do it.

He wanted to break his head and understand the psychology of Sixingfa a little bit... Maybe Sixingfa killed the envoy of the Ming army and wanted to save his face, so he was willing to start a decisive battle?

Zhu Gaoxu himself felt that this inference was a bit far-fetched, but who knew what Sixingfa thought?

Anyway, there is a fact in front of us: With the lethality of weapons in this era, the most efficient way to fight is to gather all people on a small battlefield for a decisive battle.Otherwise, we must fight until the Year of the Monkey.

Zhu Gaoxu slapped the simple wooden table with his palm, and immediately said: "Zhao Ping, immediately send someone to order the battalions to gather the army and form a formation, to face the enemy head-on! Send someone to tell Diao Tuyu and tell his troops to separate into our troops." On the two wings, the coalition forces are deployed in large formations."

Zhao Ping cupped his fists and said, "Decree!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't take off his armor last night, so he put on his wide-brimmed iron hat, took the Yanling Saber and walked out of the Chinese army tent.He took the reins of the brown horse from the guard, and asked for a long-handled knife to hang on his back.

The horns on all sides whimpered, floating melodiously on the ground, the drums roared in the barracks, and the military flags fluttered.On the entire plateau, life seemed to appear early in the morning.

As soon as the sun emerged from the shadow of the mountain in the east, Zhu Gaoxu and a group of elite cavalry took the lead across the sparse forest to the north, and he saw the enemy soldiers with his own eyes.On the sandy ground, on the gentle slope, and by the edge of the sparse woods, there are chieftain's pawns everywhere. It seems that Sixingfa has lost all his money this time!

Zhu Gaoxu didn't ask others why. Anyway, the chieftain army has very few cavalry, and their mounts are mainly war elephants.But after careful observation, he found that Meng Yangjun's war elephants were all behind, and elephants could be seen from time to time in the woods and behind the hillside; the large army in front consisted of only infantry and vehicles.

The Si clan didn't seem to be completely reckless. They used elephant soldiers to suffer from the Ming army's firearms, and now they don't use elephants to deploy in front of the battle.

The two armies spread out on a small piece of land on the vast plateau, and slowly approached each other.

One after another, roaming cavalry and shooters of the Ming army came from this sparse forest, wandering around, staring at the distance of the chieftain army.Zhu Gaoxu also turned his horse's head, patted his horse and returned to his large formation.

As far as the Chinese army is concerned, a group of generals, including Qianzong, deputy Qianzong, and Bazong, gathered here.

Zhu Gaoxu suppressed a lot of anger in his heart, and there was nothing to reprimand for a while, and he couldn't say a single passionate word.He looked around, pointed to the sparse forest in front of him and said loudly: "The decisive victory is here. Before noon, completely defeat the enemy soldiers!"

After hearing this, the generals shouted: "We must win!"

The cavalry soldiers nearby also shouted loudly, and there was a commotion on the entire battlefield.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wang Bin, you lead the guards and fine cavalry, and follow me first. Liu Ying and Wei Da's department follow up with firearms. Go back to each battalion and set off immediately."

All the generals clasped their fists together and said, "Decree!"

There were more than [-] riders in the ceremonial guards and personal soldiers, all with triangular red flags on their backs, and they quickly gathered into formation.Wang Bin led the main force of the cavalry to gradually protrude from the formation.
