Chapter 679
But they didn't know that no matter how good the strategy was, it was nothing more than a joke in front of the golden finger of Emperor Chongzhen.

For example, in the games of later generations, the opponents did not have the fog of war, so they had to rely on spies and the like to open the map to investigate. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not have the fog of war at all.The opponent presumptuously ambushed several troops, but it turned out that Emperor Chongzhen could see it clearly. How should we fight this battle?
Of course, people at this time did not know that Emperor Chongzhen would open the fog of war.Not only the enemy, but even his own people don't know.

When Cao Bianjiao, the vanguard commander of the Ming army, arrived fifty miles away from Lashio, he ordered the whole army to rest, and then he took out the kit and opened it curiously.

Looking at it, his face suddenly became very exciting.

Beside him, there is the head of a local soldier named Brute Man.The main role of the team he led was to be a guide.Seeing Cao Bianjiao's behavior at this time, he couldn't help being very curious, and asked quickly: "Marshal, is this a good plan?"

When Cao Bianjiao heard the question, he came back to his senses, looked at the brute man, saw his curious expression, nodded and said: "Yes, this is a kit bestowed by the emperor, and there is really a clever plan in it, no , To be precise, it is a plan to defeat the enemy!"

Hearing this, Brute Force Man's expression became very exciting.In this land of Yunnan, the legend of Zhuge Kongming is everywhere.The word kit must be connected with tricks.In the past, I only heard about it through word of mouth, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today.

While he was thinking about it, he heard Cao Bianjiao suddenly ask him: "Is there a place near here where a sister beats her husband?"

Hearing this, the brute man was a little curious, nodded quickly and said, "There is a place called Sister Dafu, which is in the mountains not far ahead. I don't know why the commander knows this name. Most people really don't know this name." local!"

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, with an admiring smile on his face, he raised the kit in his hand and the note drawn out from it and said: "The emperor said in this kit that there are Dongwu's ambushes, about 3000 people. "

"What? Dongwu ambush?" Hearing this, the brute man couldn't help being very surprised and said: "They are no longer waiting in Lashio City, but what are they doing hiding in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"Of course it's to sneak attack on our army's supply road!" After Cao Bianjiao was confirmed that there was indeed such a place, his expression became contemptuous. The ambush had been discovered, so there was nothing to be afraid of.As far as Dongwu's 1000 troops are concerned, the Ming army doesn't even need [-] people. If they face each other head-on, they will definitely beat them barbarians to their mothers!
He really didn't underestimate Dongwu. In the past, Dongwu was actually fighting with the chieftain of Yunnan, and he was still afraid of the regular army of Ming Dynasty.Therefore, there was such a thing.

Chieftain Mengyang in Yunnan fought against Dongwu and asked the imperial court for help. When the reinforcements did not arrive, he gave the chieftain a lot of flags from the Ming army as suspicious soldiers. As a result, Dongwu's army was really scared and ran away.

If it wasn't for Daming being distracted by the three major conquests during the Wanli period, and not looking down on the barren land of Yunnan, Mubang and Mengyang, it would be impossible for Dongwu to occupy it.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao learned of the location of the ambush, so he let the army rest and at the same time, sent Yebushou and the people from Bruteman's side to go to the place where the sister beat her husband to find out the specific situation.

As for himself, he was still in the mood to joke with the brute man, and asked him why the place names here were all weird, what happened to Sister Mu, Sister Husband, etc., all related to Sister?

For the general's questions, the brute man naturally knows everything he can say.The two were chatting vigorously, as if this was not leading troops to attack a foreign country, but going out for an outing, and finally, the night they sent out came back.

Not to mention, there was indeed an ambush soldier from Dongwu in the place called Sister Fighting Husband, so he listened to the night and told Cao Bianjiao: "Commander, this ambush soldier probably felt that they would fight after a long time, so they were lax in their defenses and were taken away by their subordinates." You won’t know until someone touches it.”

After listening to Cao Bianjiao, he actually understood them quite well.Generally speaking, this ambush should have waited until the battle against Lashio started on their side, and then they would become vigilant and dispatch scouts cautiously, waiting for the main force of the Ming army to pass, and for the food transport team to come up. Only then did he run out to sneak attack.Therefore, it is no wonder that the ambush soldiers will be vigilant when the forward troops led by themselves marched quickly!

Of course, it would be best if Togo's ambush would be like this.Therefore, Cao Bianjiao issued a military order to go and ambush Dongwu here first.

The smoothness of the battle was even a bit beyond Cao Bianjiao's expectations. The Ming army he led suddenly appeared in front of Dongwu's ambush soldiers, and these Dongwu ambush soldiers were so frightened that they didn't even think about resisting, and immediately ran around all over the mountains and plains , run as fast as you can, and run as far as you can.

However, Cao Bianjiao came prepared, and in the end, only half of Dongwu's army allowed them to escape.What surprised him a little was that there was a lot of food in the Dongwu ambush camp.

After thinking about it for a while, he also figured it out.Since Dongwu has ambushed people here, and he doesn't know when the Ming army will attack, it is natural to prepare more food and cats here.

Now, Cao Bianjiao sent people to take the [-] or so captured Dongwu prisoners to the rear, and collected the food. He didn't have to wait for the Chinese army to supply food and grass. Xu just started to take less rest.

The resistance on Lashio's side was also very easy because the people and soldiers of Yuanmu State had a heart for Daming.About 3000 Dongwu soldiers were captured, and they were sent to the rear.

Regarding this, the brute man was a little puzzled and said: "Commander, instead of dividing up the troops to escort these prisoners back, it would be more straightforward to kill them with one knife!"

Hearing this, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to pat him and said, "Why, don't you want to build the road in Yunnan by yourself?"

"Ah?" Hearing this, the brute man couldn't help being a little surprised and said, "Marshal, are these prisoners taken back to build roads?"

"Nonsense!" Cao Bianjiao immediately nodded and said, "The emperor has a will, these captives should not be wasted. The roads in Yunnan are too bad, so they can be used to build roads and benefit the people of Yunnan!"

Hearing that the emperor thought of them so much, Brute Force Han was suddenly touched.Yunnan, a borderland, finally no longer feels like a child that no one has raised!

After they rested in Lashio for three days, the mental exhaustion caused by the hot weather on Dongwu's side finally eased.At the same time, the envoy sent by Emperor Chongzhen also arrived, and after encouraging Cao Bianjiao, he gave him a kit and said: "When you arrive at the forty miles of Xibo, you can open the kit to receive the decree. "

With the experience of the first round, Cao Bianjiao probably knew what was in the kit, and couldn't help admiring it.The emperor is still predicting things like a god as always, and the small country of Dongwu still wants to fight against me, Ming, it is just a dream!

But he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen also knew about the ambushes in several places. This news not only came from Tai Taitun, but also cross-checked from the eavesdropping seeds he had sprinkled before after he went all the way into Dongwu. The news is absolutely reliable. reality.

The reason why I didn't tell Cao Bianjiao all about it was because I was afraid that the news would leak out;Therefore, he took away one ambush and verified the next ambush before giving the kit.

…………

On Awa's side, Ping Dali was also worried about the Ming army. Almost every day, he thought about where the Ming army was.Could it be that they defeated Lashio and then drove straight in, complacent that they didn't meet Dongwu's strong resistance...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, what kind of expression and mentality would the Ming army have when the ambush he arranged suddenly burst out?
Seriously, if it was possible, Pindarley would really like to see it with his own eyes.But unfortunately, the troops he prepared were to resist one by one, and the resistance was getting stronger and stronger.In this way, the Ming army can underestimate the enemy because of its smoothness in the early stage, and it can also make the Ming army's grain and grass transportation line longer, so that the protection of the Ming army on the grain road will inevitably decline.

For his mentality, Tai Taitun is naturally well aware of it, and from time to time he has something nice to say about Ping Dali's deployment.In this way, in the end, he won the trust of Pin Dali, not only didn't care about Tai Taitun, the defeated general, but also gave him part of the troops to assist him.

On this day, Tai Taitun waited for the news from the front line, sent it to Ping Dali in person, and said loudly: "Your Highness, the Ming army has captured Lashio, and they are going to lead the troops south again."

"Okay!" Ping Dali didn't care about Lashio's fall at all when he heard it, but said happily, "When the next news comes, it will probably be good news!"

"That's for sure!" Tai Taitun immediately echoed, "Once the forwards of the Ming army left Lashio, and then the ambushes came out, even if they didn't burn the food and grass of the Ming army, they would definitely scare the forwards of the Ming army into confusion and never dare to march forward again. Already!"

"Hehe, I just want to make the Ming army suspicious!" Ping Dali said in a confident tone after hearing this, "Let's see how long the Ming army's morale can last!"

So, two days later, another news came.When Tai Taitun heard the news, he immediately rushed to Xiang Yao to intercept the news first, and let him report it.Unexpectedly, Ping Dali was already at the city gate first, and was about to listen to the messenger's report.

Seeing Tai Taitun, he rushed forward and said loudly: "Congratulations, Your Highness, this must be good news!"

Just after he finished speaking, he saw that the messenger's face was very ugly, and immediately, he had a bad feeling.

Ping Dali obviously also vaguely guessed something from the messenger's expression. His face was a bit ugly, so he ignored Tai Taitun who ran over to flatter him, and immediately asked the messenger, "What's the matter, tell me!"
