On the second day, He Fu led the central army, the right army and the left army to Awa City together. A few days later, the rear army led by Li Guan also arrived at Awa City. The two of them not only fought in Taigong City and Anzhengguo
Each city (now Xingu, Myanmar) left five thousand troops to garrison outside, and the remaining troops were all brought to Awa City.
Zhu Zhen released the captured Ava soldiers in the city of Ava and formed the Ava right guards. Although the combat effectiveness of the Ava right guards cannot be counted on for a while, they can maintain public order and transport some non-treasure items.
The baggage load is still adequate.
At this time, even if the wounded soldiers are excluded from the city of Ava, there are still about 110,000 troops with strong soldiers and horses.
These troops were reorganized in Ava City for a few more days. When Zhu Chudu and Mu Ang discussed whether to take the initiative to go south to meet the army led by Mingjis Fashiu, he finally led the army back to the vicinity of Ava City.

On the evening of September 19th in the Ming Dynasty, Minjian City was located one hundred miles west of Ava City.
Mingjisi Fashiu stood on the top of the city and looked towards the direction of Ava City.
"Your Majesty." He was thinking about something when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.
He immediately looked back and saw his general, Fa Lihui, standing upright a few steps behind him.
"My loyal mana society, what can I do for you?" Mingisfashion asked.
"Your Majesty, the cavalry I saw when I arrived at Minjian City today should be from the Ming Dynasty." Fa Lihui said.
"Well, we Burmese people have never been in the habit of using cavalry. We always use elephant soldiers. These cavalry must be from the Ming Dynasty." Mingjisfa said.
"Then there will be a battle with the Ming army tomorrow?" Fa Lihui said.
"I don't think so. From here to Ava, it's a hundred miles away from the Han people, and from our march to Minjian City, we didn't encounter any Ming army to think about it. The Ming army must be stationed in Ava, waiting for us to hit them head-on.
.”
"The fastest cavalry of the Ming Dynasty can run three hundred miles a day and night. Even if the soft land in the plains of central Burma is not conducive to the cavalry galloping, the Ming army will know that we have arrived at Minjian City at the latest tomorrow morning."
"The people of the Ming Dynasty have always been arrogant. They will definitely not wait for us to fight at the city gate before facing the enemy. They will go out of the city for at least twenty or thirty miles to fight."
"I plan to travel forty miles in the next two days tomorrow, and arrive at a place twenty miles outside Ava City in the evening the next day. The battle will probably start the day after tomorrow." Mingjisfa said.
"Your Majesty, don't fight the Ming army. Retreat to Bagan City. The Ming army is not that easy to deal with! Although according to the little prince, the real Ming army is not many, only ten or twenty thousand people, but they have summoned many chieftains' troops.
, the total strength is more than 60,000, and there may be reserve troops that have not yet arrived."
"And we only have 70,000 people. Although we have elephants, they also have elephants, and they also have things called cannons. The siege is very powerful. We don't have the slightest advantage."
"Let's talk about the generals. The little prince said that he saw the Ming Dynasty's banner with the word 'Mu'. The Mu family from Yunnan entered Yunnan twenty years ago, and they conquered the east and west and defeated countless chieftains. Although the king is wise and powerful, he may not be able to win.
Can beat the Mu family..."
Before the magic conversation was finished, several guards of Mingjishu Xiu heard his words and shouted loudly: "Stop! The king is so wise and powerful that the Han people can't match him!"
These guards wanted to talk more, but Mingjisfasi coughed, and they could only stop talking.
"My loyal Magic Club, I understand what you said. If we march into Ava, we have little chance of winning." Mingisfashion said, "But there is one thing you haven't thought clearly."
"Although the Ming Dynasty's army is currently parked in Ava and has not gone south, it is probably because they expected that I would return to Ava. If they knew that we were parked in Bagan City and would not move, they would most likely go south to attack Bagan. From Ava to
Bagan, even along the Jinsha River, is only 350 miles away. If we don't go along the river, the distance is only 200 miles away, so it's not safe."
"There are also the Bago people in the south. Although they have troops stationed in Magui City and Ren'anqiang City, they are not many. If the Bago people know what happened to us, they will definitely take advantage of us. Even if they stay in Bagan, they will be taken from the Ming Dynasty.
We have defended the city of Bagan. With Han people in the north and Bago in the south, we will be wiped out sooner or later."
"So we can only take the risk of fighting the Ming Dynasty. If we can win, that will be great. If we lose, we will seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty."
"Dedicate yourself to the Ming Kingdom!" The Magic Club and several guards of Mingjisfu Xiu shouted in surprise.
"It means surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. If we lose this battle, we will follow the example of Luchuan, which was divided by the Ming Dynasty and surrendered. When the Ming Dynasty first arrived in Myanmar, it was impossible to completely control such a large area, so it could only appoint native officials. We will give up the A
Wa requested that the Bagan Xuanwei Department be established with Bagan City as the center." Mingjisfasiu said.
"Then since we already know that we will lose more than we win, why do we have to attack Ava City once? Can't we just submit to the Ming Kingdom directly?" Magic Club asked doubtfully.
"We have more than 80,000 troops in various cities. If you were from the Ming Dynasty, would you be relieved? Instead of letting the Ming Dynasty people find ways to split the Bagan chieftains later, we will consume our troops through this battle.
Wouldn't it be better to let the people of the Ming Dynasty feel at ease?" Mingjis Fuxiu said.
"This,..." The Mana Club didn't know what to say. Mingjishuaxiu's thoughts far exceeded his imagination.
At this time, Mingjisi Fashiu said to him and his guards: "This is just my thinking. Maybe after the war, the Ming Dynasty suffered too much loss and looted the city before withdrawing from Ava City? It's just to be prepared. How many of you have tens of millions?
Don’t tell anyone else.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mana Hui and several guards bowed and said.

At around nine o'clock on the morning of the 20th, Mu Ang, who had just woken up, learned the news that the Ava army had arrived in Minjian City. He immediately called Zhu Zhu up and discussed with him how to deal with it.
"How do you think you should deal with it?" Zhu Zhen asked.
"Don't you think about it for yourself?" Mu Ang complained. But after complaining, he still said: "Twenty miles out of the city to set up camp. Generally, the army marches about sixty miles a day, and Minjian City is a hundred miles away from here.
, Mingjis will definitely march thirty or forty miles every day to come here. We will march today, camp tomorrow, and fight the Ava army the day after tomorrow."
"Then let's do it." Zhu Zhen said.
Mu Ang rolled his eyes at him and went down to make arrangements.
On the evening of the 21st, Mu Ang, who was supervising the soldiers to set up camp, heard Tan Ma coming to report: "General, the Ava people ten miles ahead are setting up camp."
"I understand, please step back." Mu Ang said.
"General Mu, do you want a night attack?" He Fu asked.
"He Fu, we are so familiar with each other, so don't call me General Mu. Just call me Mu Ang." Mu Ang then said: "The Ava people must be on guard tonight, so we won't arrange a night attack. Wait for tomorrow, let's
