Relatively speaking, Bai Wenxuan seemed to be more eager to return to Yunnan than Li Dingguo, and had entered Myanmar several times in history. Li Dingguo, on the other hand, considered that forcing Myanmar too much might endanger Yongli and his ministers, so he only patrolled the Yunnan-Myanmar border.
As a deterrent. However, when the Qing army was about to invade Burma to capture and kill Yongli, Fang and Bai Wenxuan joined forces to attack Burma to take over.
Why? Zhu Yongxing waved his hand to Bai Wenxuan's apology, saying he didn't care much, but his expression was a little absent-minded, which showed that he was actually not happy in his heart.
Haven't you done well enough and shown yourself to be brave and resolute enough? Why do you always think about Yongli, who was so frightened by the news that he abandoned his country to live in peace? When he won a big victory, he didn't plan hard to stabilize the situation or continue to make progress, but to
The arduous and laborious trip to Myanmar to pick up the driver.
It seems that it was not just Li Dingguo who had this idea of placing the great cause of resisting the Qing under the emperor! Zhu Yongxing sighed in his heart, and his face gradually calmed down. Although he did not like to see Yongli, Yongli was still the banner of the anti-Qing armed forces everywhere at this time.
, is an orthodoxy supported by all. Although this support is mostly in name, it is at least the link that maintains the anti-Qing armed forces from breaking their faces.
If Yongli dies now, the prince is finished, and Zhu Yongxing, a collateral clan, has not yet formed a strong force of its own, let alone the recognition of other anti-Qing forces. It is conceivable that it will be a chaotic situation, and Zhang Huangyan may support him
Zhu Yihai, the governor of Lu, and the thirteen families of Kuidong may support King Andong, and Zheng Chenggong may support Zhu Shugui, King of Tingjing. In this matter of support, who has no selfish motives and who doesn't want to introduce a king who is more beneficial to him?
Forget it, there is no need to delve into Bai Wenxuan's intentions, just think of him as the simplest idea of loyalty to the emperor! Zhu Yongxing slowly calmed down and knew how others would see it. The deciding factor still lies in himself and his own performance. However,
This also strengthened his intention to break away from powerful figures like Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan and develop separately first.
Bai Wenxuan watched Zhu Yongxing's face change, and felt uneasy. He knew that he might have offended Zhu Yongxing, and wanted to open his mouth to explain more, but he felt that the more he smeared, the darker the situation.
Zhu Yongxing's eyes flashed, and he woke up from his meditation. When he came into contact with Bai Wenxuan's eyes, he immediately felt that his concentration was not enough, and he could not achieve the thick and dark state of intangible emotions and anger.
"The loyal and patriotic heart of King Zhao is commendable." Zhu Yongxing smiled at himself and said: "Although our army has a small victory, the Qing army is still powerful. And it currently only occupies some remote areas, and repeated battles will not do it.
Normally, the matter of picking up a driver in Myanmar requires long-term consideration."
Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still uneasy in his heart, so he had no choice but to follow Zhu Yongxing's words and said: "What your Highness said is true. I am a stupid official, and my thoughts are not as good as your Highness's."
Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and stopped talking about the matter, so as to prevent Bai Wenxuan from having more random thoughts. Then he changed the topic and had a simple exchange and discussion with Bai Wenxuan about the current battle situation, just to save the two of them from this embarrassing situation.
get rid of things.
When his wings are full, he can then consider bringing Yongli back from Myanmar! Zhu Yongxing has already considered it in his mind, and his expression has returned to normal. After all, it is still relatively far away, and there is no need to expend energy on this.
……………
People's judgments must always be based on basis, not just guesswork. If unexpected situations occur, they will naturally draw wrong conclusions or be disturbed by confusion.
Zhu Yongxing and others had all the conjectures about Zhang Yong, and they were puzzled. However, they did not realize that Zhang Yong had been suffering from illness for a day and a night, and the Qing army was leaderless and at a loss.
Malaria, commonly known as malaria, is the most common disease in subtropical jungle areas. Since it is common, it is not uncommon for anyone to get this disease, whether you are a soldier or a general. Moreover, this disease is like torture, and the cold is like I poured ice water on my head, and my whole body was shaking so much that even if I covered myself with two quilts, it wouldn't do anything. When it got hot, I had a fever of more than 40 degrees, which would make me comatose and life-threatening.
Fortunately, the messenger sent by Xian Guoan for help completed the mission and was not attacked and killed on the way. However, Zhang Yong was seriously ill and could not handle it, and the guerrilla Shao Mengkai who temporarily replaced him did not dare to specialize. Moreover, the incompatibility between Zhang Yong and Xian Guoan It was not a secret that peace and harmony were a secret, and this emotion was also transmitted to the generals under their command. Shao Mengkai saw that it was raining, but did not realize that the war situation had taken a turn for the worse. Therefore, he did not take any active action in asking for help from Guoan.
When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, Shao Mengkai procrastinated and wanted to send reinforcements, but found that the Ming army's cavalry had appeared outside the camp. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
On the hospital bed, Zhang Yong had just recovered from the severe cold and fever that lasted for several hours. He felt very thirsty and his throat felt like smoke and fire. The doctor who accompanied the army gave him some water, and he was in a daze. He vaguely wanted to rest, but saw Shao Mengkai walking in with a changed expression.
Although he still felt physically weak, Zhang Yong instinctively realized that something serious had happened, managed to hold himself up, and steeled himself to listen to Shao Mengkai's report.
"Xian Guoan's letter asking for help arrived at Haishi, and it has been almost six hours now. He has not led his troops to retreat, but the Ming army's cavalry has arrived." Zhang Yong sorted out Deng Mengkai's story, and his heart immediately stirred up a storm.
Although it is hard to believe that the three camps he set up did not play the role of blocking and delaying, and although it is incredible that the whereabouts of Xian Guoan and his troops are unknown, Zhang Yong is still aware of the extreme danger. The Ming cavalry is unlikely to It was a roundabout way, and Xian Guoan would lead his troops to retreat if they could not get reinforcements. After all these were ruled out, Zhang Yong was shocked and inexplicable by the conclusion he came to.
"Commander, let's withdraw first!" Deng Mengkai said anxiously: "Leave a small number of troops and horses, and then distribute weapons to the auxiliary troops to assist in the defense. The enemy troops came with light cavalry and lacked the ability to attack difficult positions. It is estimated that they will have to wait for the main force of infantry to arrive before they can Start the attack. If we advance lightly and quickly, there is a high possibility of retreating to Nanzhai Gongfang."
Although Deng Mengkai did not make it clear, Zhang Yong also understood what he meant. The so-called rapid advance with light equipment, of course, means leaving behind all injuries and a large number of auxiliary troops, which is actually just fleeing in embarrassment. But other than this method, it seems that it has been There is no choice.
If the entire army continues to retreat, at a speed of no more than fifteen to twenty miles a day, the entire army may be annihilated. However, Deng Mengkai's method seems not enough. To gain more time, there should be other options. method.
It was time for a strong man to break his arm. Zhang Yong gritted his teeth, reached out and called Deng Mengkai to his side, and explained in a low voice.
