At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 270
Annan had just been recovered, so Zhu Qiyu had to stay in the town. Zhang Fu commanded the commander in charge of occupying the city, and Chen Ying served as the deputy commander.

Zhang Fu immediately returned to Shenglong, rectified the troops, and appointed Li Kechang as the vanguard. Ten days later, the army set off.

Since Li Kechang joined the Ming Dynasty, he has not yet received an official title. However, he also knows that if he has nothing to achieve, the glory and wealth obtained by selling out his old master may not last long.

Therefore, he is sure to win this battle, and most of the soldiers and horses he leads are old Annan generals, and they have quite a lot of experience in fighting Zhancheng.

Facing the sudden pressure of the army, Zhancheng did not make any preparations at all, and was beaten to the ground again.

The news soon spread to Sangha Polo City, and Maha Pancha turned pale with shock.

"Who are you talking about? The Ming Army, or the Annan Army?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it is the main force of the Ming army, and the Annan army is the vanguard!"

"Who is the coach?"

"It's Zhang Fu, King of Jing'an County of the Ming Dynasty!"

Maha Pancha frowned, but he couldn't figure out why the Ming army suddenly launched a war against Champa.

what's the situation?
It doesn't make sense!

Champa and Daming have always been vassals, and Maha Pancha has a good understanding of Ming's behavior since he became the heir of Champa.

Those Han people claim to be a kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette, so they must pay attention to etiquette in everything they do.

Even if King Tan of Qinghua City knew that I was the one who intercepted and killed the Ming envoy, even if he hated it, but according to the rules, he has no right to use troops against Zhancheng.

For a major national event such as launching a war, it must be reported to the court and the emperor's permission can be obtained before sending troops.

Why did you call me all of a sudden?
Suddenly, he thought of a person.

"Come on, immediately declare...no, go and arrest Fan Lai!"

At this moment, Maha Pancha had faintly sensed that Fan Lai must know something.

The person who was sent out came back soon, and Fan Lai ran away, and even his family members were missing!
Maha Pancha was furious immediately, saying: "Call General Shili!"

After hearing the news, the old general Shi Lisadovarman came, and at the same time, there were several other important generals.

Maha Pancha immediately ordered General Shili to be the commander-in-chief, and within three days, he would go north to face the Ming army.

Everyone took orders, began to prepare the army, and hurriedly went to battle.

…………

At night, the large tent of the Chinese army.

Headed by General Shili, a group of Champa generals are discussing the battle plan.

According to the marching speed of the two troops, the first large-scale battle will soon be ushered in.

To be honest, everyone here is not at all excited about the enemy army they are about to face.

The reason is very simple, you can't beat it!

At the beginning, Champa, which was fought by the Annan people, was defeated repeatedly. If it were not for the help of the Ming army, Champa would have been destroyed.

They still had fresh memories of the firearms of the Ming army. Those new types of artillery were like gods descending from the earth, and they were definitely not something that mortals could resist.

Today, the Annan people are the pioneers, and behind them is the powerful Ming army.

How to fight this battle?
Just when everyone was at a loss, someone from outside the tent came to report, saying that someone asked to see him.

General Shi Li asked, "Who?"

"Valley!"

"Who are you talking about?"

General Shi Li suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Back to General, it's Fan Lai!"

"Is he alone?"

"Just one person, and without any weapons."

The expressions of all the people present changed. King Zhancheng had already issued an arrest warrant, saying that Fan Lai had defected, so how could he come to the barracks alone?

General Shi Li thought for a while and said, "Bring him in!"

Not long after, several soldiers escorted Fan Lai, who was tied up, to the main tent of the Chinese army.

General Shi Li waved his hands at those soldiers: "Go down first!"

"Yes!"

In the big tent, all the main generals of Zhancheng, most of these people are very familiar with Fan Lai.

Everyone is very puzzled, what is the purpose of this person?

Fan Lai smiled lightly and said: "General Shili, all colleagues, I am tied up and cannot salute, please forgive me!"

General Shi Li asked: "Van Lai, did you really join the Ming army?"

"Where did the General get the rumor?"

"His Majesty the King himself said, where did the rumor come from?"

"Your Majesty the King?"

Fan Lai smiled contemptuously, and said, "Which is His Majesty the King!"

"presumptuous!"

General Shi Li looked sullen, and said, "Of course it is His Majesty Maha Pancha!"

"Your Majesty Maha Pancha?"

Fan Lai suddenly burst out laughing, and said: "At the beginning when the Ming army came to support, he promised with his own words that he would lease the port and communicate with each other for business and trade. But now he repents and refuses to admit it. He broke his word and acted like a villain!"

General Shili knew about these things, and he knew that it was his fault.

However, as a courtier of Champa, he has no choice about eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king.

"No matter what, we servants must obey the king's orders!"

But Fan Lai said: "Maha Pancha is a thief who steals the country. Is it worth it for you to work for him?"

General Shi Li stopped immediately: "Fan Lai, stop talking nonsense!"

"General, do you still remember what Maha Pancha said when the Ming army helped us regain the country and prepare to counterattack Annan?"

General Shi Li was silent for a while. At that time, the reason given by Maha Pancha was that the supply of food and grass was insufficient, but when he returned to the city, he found that the so-called insufficient food and grass was not true at all.

In other words, Maha Pancha didn't want to continue fighting, as for the reason...

Seeing that he was silent, Fan Lai continued: "The Ming army occupied Qinghua, rescued His Majesty the old king, and sent troops to escort His Majesty back to the city. He met robbers on the way, His Majesty was killed on the spot, and Princess Xuanzhen was taken away. Do you know? "

General Shi Li nodded and said, "Of course I know."

"Do you know the truth?"

"What's the truth?"

Fan Lai snorted coldly, and said: "Those robbers were originally sent out by Maha Pancha. One of them was an acquaintance with me. Later, he couldn't bear to see the princess killed, so he told me the truth!"

"What evidence do you...have?"

"The evidence is on me. If the general wants to see it, just take it!"

General Shi Li hurriedly ordered someone to untie him, and Fan Lai stretched his muscles and took out a letter from his body.

This is a piece of silk. In Champa, only nobles can enjoy silk.

On it was a letter written in blood. It seemed that the person who wrote the letter could not find a pen and paper, so he could only write in blood.

"This is Princess Xuanzhen's handwritten letter, everyone will know it at a glance!"

General Shi Li opened the letter, and other people came forward one after another. After seeing it, they couldn't help but gasped.

Fan Lai said: "Maha Pancha is ordered in the face of danger. Now His Majesty the old king has returned safely, but he personally ordered the killing of his own relatives for his own selfish desire. Now, you are still working for such a person?"

General Shi Li looked at the crowd, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.
