Chapter 165 Chen Youliangs methods(2/2)
There are so many poisonous snakes and insects here that just walking is very difficult.
Duan Gong originally wanted to lure Chen Youliang's Han army here and then conduct an ambush.
However, Duan Gong and the others never expected it.
Chen Youliang's Han army was able to pursue him for three days and three nights, without even giving Duan Gong a chance to set up an ambush!
The Han army chased Duan Gong's army to the rear and launched a night attack.
After a battle, Duan Gong was defeated!
The Burmese, Pangya and other coalition forces formed by Duan Gong were also severely defeated. Each army trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.
Even the great king of Burma, King Manghei, was captured by the Han army.
Now the Manghei King of the Burmese people is kneeling like a sheep in front of the Han Emperor Chen Youliang.
"Mang Hei, you have been defeated now, what else do you have to say before you die?"
Looking at the Burmese Manghei King who kept kowtowing on the ground, Chen Youliang said coldly.
As soon as the Burmese translator next to him relayed the words, the Manghei King was so frightened that he trembled all over, as if he was sifting chaff.
He chirped for a while, then kowtowed again.
"What did he say?" Chen Youliang asked the interpreter.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the barbarian chief said that he begged Your Majesty to let him live. After returning, he will never offend the border and dare not step further east of the river."
The Hedong here refers to the Yunnan area in eastern Myanmar.
In the Burmese language, this area is called Hedong.
"Hmph, this barbarian really wants to be beautiful. After finally defeating them, does he still want to go back unscathed?" Chen Youliang said disdainfully.
This attack on the Burmese barbarians made Chen Youliang very angry.
Although the combat power of these barbarians is very poor, they do not have decent armor weapons, and they do not have any strong tactics.
However, during the pursuit, the number of soldiers lost due to the miasma in the mountains and forests was several times the battle losses.
This made Chen Youliang regretful. Myanmar was a big pit, which made him very melancholy.
How could Mang Hei be allowed to return to the mountain without knowing the situation?
"Your Majesty, this barbarian chief Manghei said that he is willing to use his son as a hostage and marry his daughter to Your Majesty in exchange for his own life. From now on, he will be absolutely loyal." The translator continued.
"He really said that?"
After several battles, he already had an understanding of Myanmar's strength. If he could gain Manghei's allegiance, it would be equivalent to controlling a population of more than 100,000 people.
As for the remote areas of Myanmar, Chen Youliang did not have the extra troops to really implement his rule.
"Your Majesty, this manghei really said that. I don't dare to talk nonsense." The translator said immediately.
Chen Youliang thought for a moment and then said.
"Tell him that I can spare his life, but I have to show his sincerity first."
The translator spoke again, and King Manghei, who was kneeling next to him, suddenly became excited again.
"Your Majesty, he said he is willing to obey."
Chen Youliang nodded calmly and then said.
"Tell him that I can ask him to send a message to the back, first deliver the hostages, and then present the household register and map of Myanmar, and then talk about releasing them," Chen Youliang said.
The translator and King Manghei made gestures again, then turned around and said.
"Your Majesty, this barbarian chief said that they don't have household registers or maps. They can send hostages or anything else right away."
When Chen Youliang heard this, he immediately chuckled to himself.
I am still a little too lax.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These Burmese barbarians don’t even have words at all, and they all still tie knots to record events. How can they have any household registers and maps?
"It's okay to say that I don't have a household register, but I don't have a map. How can I march in this dense forest and swamp to achieve the pursuit merit?"
Several generals nearby started shouting in low voices.
"Your Majesty, I see that this barbarian chief is playing tricks, so I might as well kill him with a knife and let's continue to pursue him," said a general.
"Yes, Your Majesty, these Burmese are very weak, they just need to be killed and subdued."
"Your Majesty, we have already passed the Nanzhong Mountains. I heard that as long as we continue forward, we will reach a large river valley and plain, so we don't have to worry about the road at all."
Facing the invitations from these generals to fight, Chen Youliang waved his hand to stop them.
"Myanmar is full of miasma and is more difficult to deal with than an army of 100,000 people. How can it be as simple as you think?"
"The valley plain in front of it is the most plagued place. The local Burmese people don't dare to stay here for a long time. It is definitely not a good place."
Chen Youliang made a lot of preparations in advance for Myanmar's customs and customs.
Myanmar is located in a hot and humid climate, which is completely different from the climate in the Central Plains.
In the Central Plains, the plains with water are first-class good places. Not only are they fertile, but they are also rich places with dense settlements.
But here in Myanmar, the situation is absolutely different.
The Qianli River Valley southward from Savage Valley is a plain, but it is a place that is hot and humid all year round and has the most miasmatic air, which is also the most dangerous place.
"Tell Mang Hei that if there is no map, send people ahead to explore the road and prepare guides and horses." Chen Youliang said.
After King Manghei learned Chen Youliang's order, he immediately agreed with tears streaming down his face.
After the defeat at Yeren Mountain, Duan Guo led tens of thousands of remnant troops to escape.
