Father can be an enemy to the country

In the golden hall of Luchuan Palace, Silunfa's roar resounded:

"Trash, this trash, Dao Silang, how did he put my king's 50,000-strong army in such a bad state? He is a sinner, the sinner of Luchuan!"

All the ministers remained silent, and even Dao Silang's younger brother Dao Siyang, one of the king's three giants, did not dare to speak immediately to speak for his brother.

Because Dao Silang's unfavorable battle did bring a crisis to the Luchuan regime - as Nazhi introduced before, the Dai people are a large clan with a long history and wide distribution. In the long years, due to the inconvenience of transportation, it has already evolved into several branches such as Bai Dai, Hong Dai, Dai Ya and Dai Na, Dai Liang and Dai Biao.

Although Silunfa forcibly knitted the various tribes of the Dai people together in an attempt to build a unified Dai people, his real foundation was still the two tribes Dai Biao and Dai Liang that he relied on. It was the strength of these two tribes that allowed him to subdue the old king and rise to become the new leader of the Dai tribes. Then through the powerful Dai people, they ruled other ethnic groups within their sphere of influence.

Therefore, Daibang and Dailiang are the main subjects of the Luchuan regime. Unfortunately, the 50,000 Xila army led by Dao Silang were mainly composed of these two groups, and they were the elites of the two groups. If all of them failed to come back, it would directly shake the rule of King Luchan. foundation.

It wasn't until Silun's attack was over that Dao Siyang bravely advised him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The most urgent task now is to send troops to Nanjian to support my elder brother...and our Xila Army."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Xila army cannot make any mistakes." All the ministers nodded in agreement.

"We must save them." Silun said with a dark face, "But the question is, how many troops should be sent?"

"Back to your Majesty, the Ming army has also suffered heavy losses." The messenger quickly replied: "According to what Marshal Zuo said, only 20,000 to 30,000 reinforcements are enough!"

"The last general is willing to lead his troops there!" Dao Siyang hurriedly volunteered.

"Nonsense!" Silunfa categorically shook his head and said: "What if the Ming army takes advantage of this time to reinforce? If an army of 20,000 to 30,000 is not enough, right? Do we need to send another twenty or thirty thousand? Are you trying to cheer me up?"

"..." The messenger quickly lowered his head, thinking that I am just a messenger. .

"Your Majesty, calm down." At this time, the man holding the sword Qian Meng said: "How long has this war been going on? The Ming army has sent reinforcements long ago. After delaying it until now, it is clear that it does not intend to send troops."

"Why? Does the prince of the Ming Dynasty have any grudge against them?" a minister asked.

"The prince of the Ming Dynasty has been recalled to Nanjing. I heard that he left in an extremely hasty manner. He met with Mu Ying the next day after receiving the order, and went straight to the road on the third day, without even taking his princess with him. .”

"If you don't take the princess with you, will you come back?" someone asked.

"The news I got with a lot of money said," Dao Ganmeng then said mysteriously: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very angry at his failure and specially recalled him to Nanjing to reprimand him. After the reprimand, he did not let him back, and I kept him in Nanjing to celebrate the New Year, and I heard that he will be asked to write questions for the imperial examination after the New Year."

"Then he won't be able to come back for at least a few months. After the exam questions are completed, he will definitely have to wait until the exam is completed before he can be released. Even if he leaves Beijing on the same day, he will not be able to return to Yunnan until April." Otherwise, I know you best. People are often your enemies? Silunfa knew the situation of the Ming Dynasty very well, and even knew the rules of the imperial examination that they had stopped for many years.

"Your Majesty is so knowledgeable! I think so too." Meng Daogan praised hurriedly: "In addition, the original general and deputy general who conquered the south have also been recalled to Nanjing, and now only the emperor's godson is left to support the scene alone. Thank God he can stabilize the situation. It is impossible and he has no ability to use troops on a large scale."

"That makes sense..." All the ministers nodded, feeling that Dao Ganmeng must have guessed correctly.

"But he may send thousands of reinforcements." Silunfa said in a deep voice: "As the highest official in Yunnan, I believe he still has this power."

"Definitely." Dao Ganmeng nodded, and then everyone fell silent.

A very simple addition question, a few thousand Ming troops could rely on another short and small earth city to stop their 50,000 Luchuan troops. If thousands more Ming troops come, they may not be able to win even if they send 50,000 reinforcements.

Moreover, according to the messenger, Naotao had gathered tens of thousands more soldiers and horses. Although they did not dare to approach the battlefield of Dingbian City, they had been harassing the Luchuan Army from the outside.

Yuanjiang's Nazhi is completely on the opposite side of his own nation, and may even send troops to support... These unfavorable situations that were almost impossible to occur have become possible with Dao Silang's serious defeat in Dingbiancheng. .

Because it broke the myth that the Luchuan Army was invincible. Gods cannot bleed, and myths cannot tolerate failure.

If all these unfavorable factors occur, it is really possible that Dao Siyang will not be able to handle the situation if he takes another 50,000 people with him.

What to do then? Should we send another 50,000? That would really be what the king said would add fuel to the fire...

Silun stood up irritably and paced back and forth on the exquisite carpet. The ministers did not dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing the king's train of thought.

After thinking for a long time, Silunfa finally stood up and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to mobilize the whole country and personally lead an army of 300,000 people!"

"ah?"

"What?" All the ministers were stunned.

"Why is this so great, Your Majesty?" Even the sword servant hurriedly admonished: "We really don't need so many people."

"This king is not only trying to save people, but also giving them a severe blow!" Silunfa said categorically:

"If Mu Ying doesn't come for reinforcements, he will first annihilate all the Ming troops in the border town, and then march to Dali and reach Xialong Pass. I don't believe he still dares to die without rescuing him!"

"That is something we absolutely don't dare to do." Dao Ganmeng concluded: "Dali is not comparable to Jingdong. It is the old capital of Yunnan. Once it falls, the Ming Dynasty's rule in the entire Yunnan may collapse, and no one can afford the consequences. , let alone the emperor’s godson, he is not even his biological son!”

"Indeed, losing Jingdong Mansion can make the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty summon his son back for punishment. How dare Mu Ying lose Dali? Do you want to die?" Dao Siyang nodded in agreement.

"Yes." Silunfa nodded slightly and raised his voice: "This time our purpose is very clear, which is to win a great victory over the main force of the Ming army and let the people of the country know that our Lucchuan army is no worse than the Ming army. !”

As he spoke, he sighed and said: "Originally, after capturing Jingdong, this goal was achieved. But Dao Silang had to do it all over again."

"Yeah, damn it..." Dao Ganmeng's group, who had never been on good terms with Dao Si Lang and Dao Si's foster brothers, immediately agreed upon hearing this.

Dao Siyang secretly resented it and quickly changed the topic: "Then I dare to ask your Majesty, do we really want to capture Dali?"

"It depends on the situation." Silunfa said slowly: "If Mu Ying insists on being a coward and refuses to come to reinforce, then eat Dali, and the effect will be the same."

"That's right." The ministers nodded. "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
