Chapter 489 The Book of War
At the beginning of the war between Burma and Mengyang, Yang Yinglong, who was eager to join the war, once suspected that the servant he sent to find Liu Xianyao's transfer order escaped because he could not get the transfer order.

During the night when he was waiting for death, he regretted saying 'don't come back until you get the transfer order' to the samurai.

He was too anxious, and the situation of Meng Yang's battle was far beyond his expectations for the war.

Mang Yinglong's vanguard army was less than [-] people, and the road was difficult, so he entered Mengyang's territory in a divided way, very arrogant.

Sigu of the Mengyang Xuanwei Division had already prepared for it, and used an ambush to repel him on the dangerous traffic arteries in the south of Mengyang. At that time, Sigu even sent someone to report to Yang Yinglong on a Yunnan horse.

The sword armor he gave was very useful.

Yang Yinglong was quite happy, Sigu was courageous and capable, it's not bad to have such a friend.

But he underestimated Sigu's courage.

Only a few days later, the guardian turned off the oven, and Yang Yinglong, who was listening to the maidservant singing, saw another rider from Mengyang.

"Where did the enemy retreat to, tell me."

The little toast spoke easily, and continued to sprinkle Nanyang spices and Northwest Qingbai refined salt on the meat-scented grill.

In the end, he raised his salt-stained finger to give orders to the servant: "Bring Meng Yangtu."

The reason why Yang Yinglong was relaxed was all due to his general chieftain's judgment on the situation of the battle.

However, after a few days, Mang Yinglong's vanguard army suffered a small setback after being defeated, but it would not cause the army to retreat. They must withdraw from Mengyang to wait for the follow-up troops.

Now that Sigu sent someone to report, there should be traces of the enemy.

"The enemy has retreated to camp north of the lower Ava River."

The message was that there were few clever young men around Sigu, and he was also a young leader of his subordinates. After saluting, he said: "The leader will lead [-] of the most elite Meng Yang soldiers to retreat to the valley forty miles northwest of Shenhuguan. The common people also ask the general to take good care of him."

At the lower reaches of the Ava River, it retreated at least thirty miles. Just as the servant brought the picture scroll, Yang Yinglong raised his hand to look for the picture after turning over the roast meat. What are you going to do in the northwest of Shenhuguan?"

This, this logic is wrong!
From the picture, it can be seen that Shenhu Pass is forty miles northwest and at least seventy miles to the lower reaches of the Ava River. If Sigu retreats here, what else is there to fight? gone?"

The messenger rider neither dared to nod nor shake his head, and saluted again: "The leader said, the next time Mang Yinglong's army attacks, Meng Yang's soldiers will be irresistible to ten thousand people, so let the Burmese army come and rob Meng Yang."

"The leader dispatched seven of our most heroic chiefs, led by General Marula, and eleven thousand troops from the south bank of the Ava River to the downstream."

On the south bank of the Awa River, part of it has already entered the boundary of Longchuan.

This is a big circle, Yang Yinglong frowned, tried his best to guess Sigu's purpose, finally guessed a somewhat crazy idea, and asked with round eyes: "He wants to outflank Mang Yinglong? How many is there in Mang Yinglong's army?" ?”

Although Mang Yinglong claims to have mobilized [-] troops, but the claims belong to the title, the actual mobilization of troops and the title are mostly two different things.

"The vanguard came to attack Manmo chieftain Sizhe, and Mang Yinglong formed an alliance with chieftains such as Yue Feng and Hanba, with a force of nearly 20."

Yang Yinglong was so frightened that he quickly ate a mouthful of barbecue meat. It was the first time he saw a man who claimed to have fewer troops than he actually had.

"20, Sigu wants to use 20 soldiers to surround these [-]?"

Yang Yinglong was not in the mood to tell jokes, he rubbed his hands together and exhaled slowly, not because the barbecue was delicious, but because Mang Yinglong's army was very strong.

He always thought that Yang's Bozhou was the number one Xuanweisi in the world, and he didn't look down on Burmese Xuanweisi and Mang Yinglong, especially when Chen Mu valued Mang Yinglong.

Why don't you see your brother-in-law take yourself so seriously?
Bozhou has a land half the size of Guizhou, two thousand miles from north to south, and nearly a million people. There is no year in Sichuan that does not rely on them to supply food and grass, and there is no rebellion that does not depend on them to quell the rebellion.

But even if he recruits everyone, he can gather [-] to [-] soldiers.

If it was militaristic, it might be able to pull another [-] to [-], but even if it was fully prepared in advance, Bozhou would fall apart within two years of persistence.

The Burmese Propaganda and Consolation Department has not broadcast the state university yet, and gathered the surrounding chieftains to gather such a huge force. To be honest...he is now a bit biased towards the idea of ​​Yunnan governor Wang Ning. Why bother with such a thing.

Anyway, there is a dangerous location there, on the front line of Tengchong, Mang Yinglong has no chance of defeating the Ming army.

"Surround them, the leader said that Mang Yinglong has a very strong army, and he can't put 20 troops into Mengyang, otherwise the food and grass will not be enough, and the nest will not be safe. He can attack Mengyang with only [-] troops, and Mengyang will have no soldiers. , he will definitely launch a large-scale plunder."

"When he divides the troops, the army with the leader in ambush can concentrate its forces to cut off its supply and break its way of retreat. After its morale collapses, it will attack back and forth and defeat them one by one. The leader said that this is called Cao Mengde's battle with Lu Bu in Yanzhou. It is the great wisdom and bravery in ancient military books! "

Cao Mengde, Yanzhou, and Lu Bu?

Yang Yinglong sat on the rattan chair, leaning slightly backwards, with an extremely surprised expression, "You, what military book did your leader read?"

The young man who sent the letter was very proud when he mentioned the book of war, but he couldn't name it. After thinking hard, he said awkwardly: "San, what is the meaning of three, I don't know it."

Yang Yinglong couldn't answer, he rubbed his face after a while, got up and patted the young man who sent the order, and said: "It's the book of war for today, it's called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, study Chinese well, and I'll find me in Bozhou, and I'll give you a copy."

"Go back and tell Sigu that if you can't beat them, you will retreat to Chengguan. I will take good care of my wife, children and family members. They have already set up a knot between the two passes. If Cao Cao wins, he can win too!"

After all, Yang Yinglong ignored the messenger riders, and climbed the city gate with his head up and his sleeves shaking.

I don't know whether it's funny that the story book is called an ancient book of war, or Sigu's extremely bold strategy makes him happy.

"Come on, send more riders. If one rider doesn't come back, ten riders will be sent out. If ten riders don't come back, I will send out a hundred riders! Go to Annan, meet Liu Dudu, and tell him about the battle situation of Meng Yang. The reckless army has reached 20 Thousands of people, be sure to bring back the transfer order!"

The alliance of Mang Yinglong's tribes is not yet firm, and this is the best time for the court to send troops, not to mention what the court thinks is not important to Yang Yinglong, he cares more about himself and Bozhou.

With such an enemy growing up in Burma, from now on, he will not be able to do business at home in Bozhou. He is afraid that he will have to provide military service grains and rice to Yunnan every year.

He didn't want to pay for food and rice, nor did he want to serve in the military for years in Yunnan.

There is only one way, join this war and kill him.

"Liu Dudu's army will go south, and it won't go too far. It won't reach Shenglong now, you go and come back!"

But guess what?

Liu Xian is really in Rising Dragon!
