On the fourth day of the seventh month of the third year of Xinshi, Wu Sangui led 80,000 troops and swore an oath to enter Myanmar in Kunming, Yunnan.

At this moment, the spies from the Beizhen Fushi in Yunnan issued a warning message overnight. Feige passed the news to Dingbei Province. Feige's letter was originally a communication method that Jinyiwei rarely used. Although the speed was fast enough, it was not stable and easily exposed. It was really only used at the most urgent moment.

When Li Dingguo received the message, it was already two days later. He unfolded a small paper tube and looked at half a cup of tea. Then he threw the secret report away. He laughed and said, "Wu Ni is going to take serious action this time. He ordered all the generals to raise the tent to discuss matters."

Dingbei Province was the former northern Myanmar. Li Dingguo was the first vassal king in the Southern Ming Dynasty to hold the military and political power of a province. Now it has a fixed seal and surplus food and salary. The Dingbei Army, which was renamed Dingbei, now has 20,000. Among them, it specially equipped a continuous fire gun battalion of 1,000 people.

Li Dingguo was dressed neatly, put on a python robe and jade belt, and hung a sharp sword around his waist. He stepped into the main hall. After the three-way drums, the generals had been waiting for a long time. Li Dingguo sat quietly on his head, looking left and right, and whispered: "Have all the generals all come?"

"Go back to the Grand General. All the generals who stayed there are here. Wait for the General's orders." The standing staff replied in a low voice. In the army, the soldiers called Li Dingguo the general.

Li Dingguo's jaw was stroked, and his eyes were lying in front of the case, like a blade, swept away the generals in two rows. He said with a loud voice: "The rebel Wu Sangui has swore a oath in Kunming. According to my king's estimate, the army may have passed Simao. He will invade Dingbei soon."

The generals originally said that Li Damashu was summoning the generals to reprimand the military order. Unexpectedly, they heard the news. They couldn't help but want to try. These people had accompanied Li Dingguo to fight the Qing army in Sichuan, fought against Wu Sangui in Yunnan, and fought guerrilla veterans in northern Myanmar. Now they have a basis, with sufficient food and salary, and have recruited many strong men to join the army. They are no longer Wu Xia Among. They are ready to fight to the death one day with Wu Sangui.

Li Dingguo looked at the eyes of the generals who were emitting endless fighting spirit. He couldn't help but smile with relief. He said, "The Wu thief is known as one hundred thousand elites. According to the general's opinion, this person is only 50,000 or 60,000. Most of them are new recruits. Although our soldiers are only 20,000, they are all covered with blood and deep hatred. They have taken advantage of the master. Later, the emperor is in charge of the sea of ​​sea of ​​reinforcements at any time. If he cannot win, he will be shameless to see people."

As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, the generals burst into laughter. The generals were so humorous that the generals were usually hard to be humorous. Although this joke was a bit cold, they smiled when they saw the generals saying that they had no shame to meet people. Who would dare not to sell the face of the generals?

Although Li Dingguo's words were arrogant, he expressed the advantages of the Dingbei Army one by one. In fact, he was not a proud person. But since the two armies were about to fight, they said these words to boost morale.

Li Dingguo's brows sank. The generals immediately felt the generals' strangeness and looked at the commander. Li Dingguo Highway: "Wu Sangui has been in military service for many years and can be called a famous general. Therefore, we should not underestimate the enemy. The Wu army's combat power is unpredictable. We should not underestimate it. We should not be underestimated until the day of triumphal. It is not too late to laugh when the head of the Wu thief Sangui is cut off."

The generals were cheered up and bowed their hands, "Please send a commander."

Li Dingguo had taken out a command arrow from the silver barrel on the desk and shouted: "Yang Wenfa."

"The last general is here." A general stood up and saluted half-kneeling.

Wu Sangui's central army had a total of 60,000 people. It was magnificent and continuous. The counties and counties passed by Yunnan had officials out of the city to work hard. But this time it was not the same. Wu Sangui did not stop at all. Wu Sangui ordered the three armies to march day and night, constantly urging his subordinates to speed up. There was no reason. In this battle, the first thing to solve was the Dingbei Army of Li Dingguo. Northern Myanmar was thousands of miles away from Haidu. Wu Sangui estimated that Haidu's reinforcements would not be able to arrive for seven or eight days. When Haidu received the news of his invasion and then mobilized troops to rescue north, it would be at least ten days later. In other words, the time left for the Wu army was only about fifteen days. Whether Li Dingguo could be swallowed depends on this period of time. Once the reinforcements of Haidu arrived, the enemy was combined into one. Then the Wu army's many people would be offset a lot. The victory and defeat were unpredictable.

Time is the key to the decisive victory. Wu Sangui, wearing silver armor, kept pulling his horse and throwing rewards in the marching team. He personally led his personal soldiers to wield the horse whip and beat the soldiers of the team behind the team. This war that concerns his wealth and future will never be lost. Otherwise, the business of more than ten years will be wasted. A dog that cannot bite people will either be beaten to death by his opponent with a wooden stick. Even if he escapes by chance, he will be cooked and killed by his master.

"Send the order. Speed ​​up the progress. If anyone dares to fall behind..." Wu Sangui, who was tall and tall, gritted his teeth. He was full of murderous intent in his eyes. He shouted fiercely: "Kill without mercy!"

"Zhe!" The messenger dismounted and beat Qian. Then he quickly turned over and the horse. The movement was done in one go. He held the flag high and tightened the horse's belly and ran to the command.

The sky was blue without a trace of clouds. The mountains in the south were undulating. Wu Sangui's eyes were at the junction of the blue sky and the mountains. Looking at the general riding a tall horse behind him, the staff whipped: "After passing these peaks, you can enter northern Myanmar. Although Li thief is familiar with the troops, I expected that he would never expect that the king would suddenly attack. He would not be able to ambush the road in a hurry. Therefore, our army only wanted to fight quickly. After entering Myanmar, he would break in a hurry."

The generals nodded and said yes. These people were all old subordinates of Wu Sangui. They had fought with Li Dingguo's troops for many times. What they feared was Li Dingguo's guerrilla tactics. They were ambushed in the fields and mountains. The Dingbei Army, like ghosts, always launched a sudden attack at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate momentum. When the Wu army left hundreds of corpses, they hurriedly organized to resist. The Dingbei Army had retreated like a tide.

If the Dingbei Army, which had a foundation, could launch a sudden offensive against northern Myanmar as King Pingxi said, was rushed to fight. Then the Dingbei Army would have no possibility of ambushing with the help of force. Once the Dingbei Army was forced to charge in front of the two armies, the balance of victory would have been tilted towards the large Wu army.

"The prince is a clever idea. No wonder the prince keeps urging him. It turns out that there has been an arrangement." The official who was repairing the uniforms was bent into a gap. He shook his head and flattered.

Wu Sangui said: "I have been in charge of the army for many years. If this is not the case, wouldn't it be a pampering bag? Where did the troops of Yuan Rang and Zhao Fu have arrived?"

Yuan Rang and Zhao Fu were the admirals of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces under the jurisdiction of King Pingxi. Both of them were old subordinates of Wu Sangui. They were from the army. They had experienced no more than 100 or 90. They were the most trusted by Wu Sangui. This time they divided the troops into three groups. In addition to Wu Sangui's own 60,000 central troops, the two wings were the two men, with 10,000 troops and horses to support each other.

"Yuan Rang has arrived in Jinghong. General Zhao Fu has carried a lot of baggage. He is still in Pu'er generation." A guerrilla wearing Qing army nail armor walked two steps forward.

"Hmph! It's too slow." Wu Sangui's face showed anger. However, the two generals were all new recruits. Now they are about to fight to the decisive battle. Although Wu Sangui was not happy, it was not too harsh: "Don't worry about them. Let's break into northern Myanmar first and wait for Li Dingguo to be taken down. Then we will join them in the same place to fight with Xinshi Children."

The generals nodded one after another. Regarding the tactics of uprising, Wu Sangui was always very vicious. He worked under such a person. He could only be a kowtower worm when talking about military affairs, and was not afraid of death during battle formations. Otherwise, he would not have thought of making a name for himself.

"What's the matter with the court?" Wu Sangui's solemn face relaxed a little. He suddenly asked about the things in Beijing. For him, Nanming was his enemy in front of him. Beijing was also his future opponent. If a person like him holding heavy troops cannot rise up and resist, sooner or later, there will be a lackey.

"When the imperial court heard that the prince sent troops, he had issued a commendation document. He also ordered all provinces to try their best to dispatch some food and grass to Yunnan and Guizhou to save the prince from worries." said an official dressed in a civil servant.

Wu Sangui stroked his beard and looked at the mountains in the distance. The peaks with shadows were towering high. He couldn't help but laugh: "Since that's the case, I'm not polite. Let me continue to ask for food and salary from the provinces everywhere. I would like to say that the soldiers in front of me worked hard to fight. The stock of Yunnan and Guizhou was not enough to make ends meet. Please support the governors and Taoist magistrates of each province."

The official who replied first grinned and responded, "The prince is wise. As the saying goes, the army has not moved. The prince leads the soldiers to fight outside. Why should these officials sit in the back and enjoy their happiness? They search for some silver and food from them. With the money and food, the prince is lying in the world, just like a tiger's wing. Whoever dares to be unable to get along with the prince, hehe, will beat him."

The official smiled while talking, and his triangular eyes kept flashing. His words revealed the meaning of King Pingxi dominating the world.

Wu Sangui's face darkened and scolded: "I am also a slave to Emperor Kangxi. It's okay to be swayed in front of Xiao Xiao's rebellion. I'll say less in the future. Be careful to flash your tongue."

"Yes. I deserve to die." The official laughed and said, "but he didn't have any intention of being damn."

Wu Sangui ignored him. Seeing the winding team's speed slowed down a little, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Send the order. Speed ​​up the speed. I will enter the Myanmar territory early tomorrow morning to camp for two hours. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy. Whoever enters northern Myanmar first and rewards a thousand golds. I recommend him to have a background."

"Li Biao. You will take a team of personal soldiers to the back team. Everyone who is dragged away will be cut off for me."

"Zhe!" A genius waved his hand. Dozens of fast horses behind him ran quickly towards the back team as he quickly.

"His Highness of the King of Pingxi has an order. Those who come to northern Myanmar first will be promoted and rich! Those who fall behind will be killed!" The messengers worked hard to yell in the team.
