Chapter 1085: Three Steps and One Turn

Zhao Ming released a trace of kindness to Wu Sangui, hoping that he could consider it, surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and not continue to struggle.

However, when the news spread, Wu Sangui did not reply and ignored Zhao Ming's kindness.

This made Zhao Ming feel a little disappointed. Since Wu Sangui was determined to go against him, he could only destroy the Zhou Kingdom.

Zhao Ming then had no choice but to write, ask Mao Danmian to step up and repair the Ming army's warships, and ask Li Dingguo about the progress of road construction.

Only warships were restored, naval reinforcements arrived in Maudhammén, and the northern Myanmar highway was built, and the Ming army attacked from north to south to solve Dongshu, and then sought to enter South Asia and completely overturn the Zhou regime.

On this day, Zhao Ming left the palace again and came to the camp. The place where the prisoners were kept was still empty and there was no one.

Zhao Ming couldn't help but ask the soldiers hiding in the shade and said, "What's going on? Didn't you attack today?"

The soldiers were also depressed, "Reported to the Regent, there was no attack today. We have all the meals ready, I don't know why they are not coming."

Suddenly, there were no captives who could perform acrobatics in the camp, making the lives of the Ming soldiers a boring.

This made Zhao Ming frown slightly. He couldn't see the prisoner. He also felt a little uncomfortable and less fun.

At this time, Zhao Ming felt bored and continued his routine inspection.

The Ming army and the Zhou army fought against each other in the south of Dongxu for nearly half a year. Although the Zhou army's attack did not bring any disaster to the Ming army, the hot climate tortured the Ming army very much. Zhao Ming was worried that his morale was sluggish, so he often inspected to cheer up the soldiers.

At this time, Zhao Ming finished his inspection and was about to go back to the palace to rest. When he was about to leave, he was rushing into Jin Shenghuan.

"Regent! There is an emergency military situation!" Jin Shenghuan walked over and shouted loudly from a distance.

Zhao Ming stopped when he heard the words, Jin Shenghuan trotted over quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Regent!"

"What emergency military information?" Zhao Ming asked casually.

"Wu Sangui has withdrew his troops!" Jin Shenghuan said anxiously.

In the past two days, the Zhou army suddenly stopped attacking, which made the Ming generals feel that something was missing suddenly, so they sent a scout to check it out.

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Where is the Zhou army withdrawing?"

"It's indeed withdrawn! The scout had just left the city to investigate and found that the Zhou army had moved away from the horse, pushed off the fence, and removed the tent, and many camps were evacuating!" Jin Shenghuan said excitedly: "According to the scout, they approached the Zhou army camp, the other party's cavalry found them, but did not drive them away, but just buried their heads in packing!"

Zhao Ming sneered, "Wu Sangui rejected my kindness. I thought he was a man who wanted to attack Mao Danmian, and he was desperate to fight with me. He didn't want to slip away!"

Jin Shenghuan looked at Zhao Ming with joy and said happily: "Regent, are we going to chase after you now?"

Zhao Ming shook his head, "When he saw the scouts, he didn't drive them away, Wu Sangui was deliberately letting us know that he was going to evacuate. This guy probably wanted to be a fool! Send the scouts to continue investigating and figure it out!"

At this time, the news of the Zhou army's retreat spread wildly in the camp. When the soldiers who were experiencing the shade heard that Wu Sangui had withdrawn, they immediately cheered.

Although the Zhou army did not pose a threat to the camp, the long-term confrontation and humid and hot climate made the soldiers unable to bear it.

When they heard that the Zhou army was retreating, the soldiers immediately cheered and said, Zhou Gou had only such skills and did not see who the opponent was. He insisted on staying in this ghost place for so long.

The excited cheers of the Ming army sounded, but Zhao Ming's heart became heavier, because he heard the heartfelt homesickness and tolerance for the Dongshu climate from the cheers of the soldiers, and he was close to his limit.

When Zhao Ming returned to the palace, he immediately changed his face and said to Jin Shenghuan and others: "Wu Sangui retreated at this time, most of the time, he wanted to retreat as a step forward, and wanted to lead me to pursue me and then fight me to decisively."

Jin Shenghuan thought for a while and nodded, "There is this possibility! Wu Sangui was unable to break through our camp, so he wanted to retreat and then fight in the wilderness!"

Zhao Ming had a calm face, "Huchen, immediately send the horse army to explore again, find out Wu Sangui's movements, and report to me again."

Jin Shenghuan held his fists and took the order, so he went to make arrangements immediately.

The Ming army's whistle-chess cavalry roared out of the camp and went west to explore. At noon today, the horse was explored and all the camps in the Zhou army were withdrawn. It was true that Wu Sangui retreated.

However, the next day, after scouts investigation, they found that although the Zhou army retreated, they suddenly stopped seventy miles west of Bogu.

After more than 100,000 Zhou troops evacuated from Bogu, Wu Sangui walked slowly, just to give Zhao Zamao a chance.

The Zhou army walked so slowly, with the purpose of attracting the Ming army to pursue it, and then staged a trick that you chase me and I will let you have.

However, Wu Sangui slowed down and marched slowly, giving Zhao Ming a chance, but Zhao Ming did not pursue him, but continued to stick to the camp and couldn't come out.

This made Wu Sangui, who wanted to lead the Ming army out of the field to fight, had no choice but to set up camp and wait for Zhao Ming.

However, the army was stationed for two days, but the Ming army still had no movement. Wu Sangui knew that his plan was bankrupt, so he could only order the army to continue to retreat westward and retreat to Yangon first.

In the wilderness, the Zhou army soldiers packed up their tents, and the large brigade of soldiers continued to retreat westward.

At this time, Wu Sangui was riding on the war horse, looking at the soldiers retreating west, looking at Bogu with resentment, "This damn Zhao Zamao is really as stable as an old dog, living like a turtle. Where did this guy's ruthlessness go before? Why is the older he gets more conservative and timid as he gets older! I retreat so obviously, let you chase and give you a chance to catch up, why not chase?"

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, but he didn't expect that Zhao Ming would become a turtle so steadily.

For a moment, Wu Sangui was embarrassed and could only lead the army to continue evacuation.

At this time, Wu Sangui had just pulled out the camp and retreated to Yangon. The Ming army scouts pulled out their horses and ran back to the camp.

In the palace, Zhao Ming stood with his hands behind his back, staring at a map.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan came in and saw Zhao Ming losing his mind, and said softly: "Regent!"

Zhao Ming turned around and said in a deep voice: "Is Wu Sangui still waiting for me in Kouka Town?"

Jin Shenghuan said: "Report to the Regent, the scouts' return, Wu Sangui has retreated to Yangon this morning. Will the Regent send a cavalry to pursue him? Take advantage of Wu Sangui's unpreparedness and catch him off guard!"

Zhao Ming shook his head. According to common sense, when Zhou's army saw that the Ming army was not pursuing, they might have given up their vigilance while retreating. However, Wu Sangui was too eager to pursue the Ming army, so he must always pay attention to behind him.

"Wu Sangui is afraid that he will turn around every three steps now, waiting for me to pursue him. I cannot let him do it for the time being!" Zhao Ming waved his hand with a smile, "Let's talk when he arrives in Yangon!"

Jin Shenghuan nodded when he heard the words, clasped his fists and said, "I understand!"
