Light Dance Jiajing

Chapter 78 Outsmarting

This day was basically a waste of time. Ava only defended the city and refused to fight no matter how Mang Yinglong bluffed. A strong attack was naturally disadvantageous to the side under the city, and many Toungoo soldiers were killed. If Ajin had not unexpectedly shot down the royal flag in the end, it would have been a rare bright spot in the tense situation in recent days. Mang Yinglong patted Ajin on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and laughed in Burmese which Ajin could not understand, as if he was not the one who had suffered defeat in recent days. That night he held a banquet to celebrate Ajin's victory. He said that the battle was beautifully fought, and Ava's royal flag had fallen. The day of Ava's defeat was not far away.望的陷阱 ,一个了他们跟你把他抱打得吃,一个了他们把他抱打得吃,一个了他们把他抱打得吃,一个了他们把他抱打得吃,一个了他们把他抱打得吃,一个了他们把他抱打得吃,一个了他们把他抱打得吃,一个了他们把他抱打得吃,一个了的吃碗里,一个了暴躁。

It was not convenient for Meng'er to get angry during the meal, so she could only lower her voice and say, "You are a grown man, just stay by yourself. Look at these drunks, they are so restless, I hate it, I will take my brother and leave first."

"Your brother has fallen asleep. I have asked someone to take him back to rest." When Meng'er turned her head, there was no trace of Zaihou. Meng'er took two breaths and thought to herself that she had to bear it. Now she had to follow this guy and he could do whatever he wanted.

After the Toungoo generals had eaten and drunk their fill, the topic naturally turned to military affairs. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell from their gloomy faces that they hadn't come up with any good plans.

Ah Jin whispered to Meng'er, "Mang Yinglong is a character, but few of these people are outstanding. However, they can be used if they are commanded properly." Meng'er glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was in different states of mind, but Mang Yinglong remained seated as steady as a bell. He listened to his subordinates speak but rarely interjected his opinions. As a result, everyone spoke freely and the scene was very lively.

Mei'er shook her head and said, "We have been fighting for so many days. It is not a good idea to continue like this. Now the King of Ava is here in person. Didn't you say that the city of Pyin Uyen is strong and well-stocked? If so, it will be difficult to fight. Besieging the city is not a solution."

Ajin said, "That's true, but Ava's national strength has long been declining. It is only a matter of time to win this battle. But it may not be so easy to quickly take down Pyeongan." Ajin lowered his voice and said, "I heard that there are many constraints within Toungoo, so Mang Yinglong is eager to take down Pyeongan so that he can go back and deal with his mess." The hall suddenly became quiet again. Perhaps because there was no substantial progress after talking for a long time, Mang Yinglong frowned slightly, and most of the others were silent.

Mei'er pondered for a while and said, "Actually, since Ava's national strength is not good and now a powerful enemy is approaching, what should you do if you were a subject? Should you hand over your life to the king to preserve his loyalty, or quickly find a way to retreat to protect your body and property? The current King of Ava usurped the throne of the previous monarch. How can he hold on to the throne without years of management?" Mei'er held her chin with one hand, with some thought in her eyes.

Ah Jin looked at Meng'er quietly. The drunken look gradually faded, and a smile appeared on his face. He chuckled and said, "You are very smart. You think the same as me. The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plan. If you can win by wits, why bother with war?" He and Meng'er spoke quietly, but the tent was very quiet at this time. Mang Yinglong looked at Ah Jin and said, "My dear brother, is there anything happy?"

When Ajin saw Mang Yinglong asking him, he looked at the translator sitting beside him. The man was caught by Ajin every day and kept by his side. He saw that Ajin was not someone to be trifled with. Ajin also promised him a large sum of money, so he obediently served as his translator. Ajin stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, big brother and the generals. I just have some ideas to tell you. I think this way of fighting is not without benefit. Well, we have to fight, but the purpose is not to attack the city, but to deter. If you want to win this battle, you might as well add fuel to the fire in Pyeongchang. Ava's national strength is declining. Who can't see that it will sooner or later fall to the hands of Toungoo? Isn't the King of Ava in Pyeongchang? He has not won the hearts of the people. Big brother just needs to spread the word that only the main culprit will be executed, and whoever kills or captures the King of Ava alive will be rewarded with a title of nobility and ten thousand gold. Haha, I don't believe that everyone in this city is willing to fight with him to the end."

Mang Yinglong was so wise that he understood everything at once. He stood up from his chair, walked to Ah Jin, patted his shoulders twice, and said something in a babble. He looked very excited. His subordinates had naturally figured out the key to this and all said it was wonderful. Seeing that Ah Jin was a little flattered by everyone, Meng'er glanced at him and reminded him, "This small military tent is a waste of your talent."

Ah Jin didn't take it seriously and said softly, "I'm not their commander, but I'm also valued by the commander. If a foreigner appears to be too scheming, people will be wary of me. It's better for me to be a little more open-minded. Do you think these people will trust me more?" Meng'er thought about it and realized that what he said was right, but his smug look didn't seem to be fake. It seemed that he really enjoyed the flattery of the crowd, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Next, everyone worked together to further study how to divide the enemy. Ah Jin stopped talking at this time and only said one or two sentences at the key points, but every sentence hit the nail on the head. It didn't take long to discuss an action plan. Mang Yinglong swept away the worries of many days and said with full energy: "Write a manifesto tomorrow and shoot it into the city. You continue to feint and attack to create momentum. I don't believe that Ava is a solid block. Si Hongfa will definitely be wary of the people around him. By then, everyone will be in danger and make their own calculations. It will be difficult not to cause chaos. Hehehehe... We just need to wait for good news."
