Although Zhu Yunwen valued him highly, he sometimes couldn't be too assertive or make decisions for his master.

Therefore, his actions, which subtly allowed Zhu Yunwen to realize the problem and resolve it himself, were the smartest and wisest decision a subordinate or servant could make.

Since this voyage will take us through these places anyway, we might as well go with the flow and give Zhu Yunwen a chance to discover the problem and solve it.

Five thousand soldiers—that's already incredibly formidable, because these five thousand soldiers are the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, the most elite group of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty in terms of combat skills, physical fitness, and the use of firearms and artillery.

Therefore, these 5,000 soldiers, under Ma Sanbao's leadership, could easily eliminate all three southwestern kingdoms.

Not to mention that at present, the only task is to help the Pegu Dynasty deal with the so-called Ava Dynasty.

The army rested in southern Myanmar that day, as they had been traveling by boat for several days and needed a good rest.

At a banquet held in the palace to entertain Zhu Yunwen, the king of the Pegu Dynasty sighed before speaking to him:

"The Ava Dynasty was very powerful; it was the strongest of the dynasties that split off from our Myanmar."

He had long harbored ambitions to destroy my Pegu Dynasty; otherwise, he wouldn't have so blatantly sent people to kill my son.

Now that we have become mortal enemies, I originally thought that my Pegu Dynasty had no chance of winning this victory, nor could my son avenge us.

"Thanks to the help of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, I can finally see hope."

Zhu Yunwen spoke calmly:

"Don't worry about this matter. Since I've decided to get involved, I'll definitely give you a surprise."

The king of the Pegu Dynasty smiled, then somewhat awkwardly offered a cautious reminder:

"However, Your Highness, although you have brought more than 10,000 soldiers this time and dispatched 5,000 soldiers to help us, if I may be frank, there is still a gap between the Ava Dynasty and my Pegu Dynasty."

Their dynasty has an army of about 80,000, while my Pegu dynasty only has 50,000 soldiers. Therefore, it seems that even if His Highness the Crown Prince gives me 5,000 soldiers to help me, it is still…”

He didn't continue speaking because he felt that saying that might offend Zhu Yunwen.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Yunwen, upon hearing this, did not get angry but laughed and said:

"Don't worry about this matter. My Ming Dynasty has 5,000 soldiers, whose strength is beyond your imagination. You will understand when the time comes. There is no need to worry unnecessarily."

The king of the Pegu Dynasty wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

After all, he felt that this was just a worry of his own, and even if Zhu Yunwen gave him 50,000 soldiers, they would not be able to play a crucial role.

Even if there are heavy casualties on the battlefield, it may not be a bad thing, because in that case, the Ava Dynasty would have completely offended the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing his people die, the Crown Prince would surely feel his face was damaged. In a fit of anger, he would order the Ming Dynasty to send more soldiers to march southwest, which would likely lead to the downfall of the Ava Dynasty.

In short, since the grandson of the Ming emperor has been involved, this is no longer just a feud between the Ava Dynasty and the Pegu Dynasty.

It even escalated to a matter between the Ming Dynasty and Burma.

On this issue, Zhu Yunwen was unwilling to engage in further debate, since there would always be people who underestimated the strength of the Ming soldiers.

None of that matters. The facts will make them understand everything. So the next day, Ma Sanbao led 5,000 soldiers and the nearly 50,000 soldiers led by the general of the Bago Dynasty northward toward northern Myanmar.

At this time, the Ava Dynasty had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. So when the king of the Ava Dynasty learned that the Pegu Dynasty had sent more than 50,000 soldiers north to start a war with the Ava Dynasty, he was shocked.

The king of the Ava dynasty laughed at that moment.

Then, he said to the officials below:

"See that? This is the king of the Pegu Dynasty, a madman. Does he think that 50,000 soldiers can fight against my Ava Dynasty?"

My Ava Dynasty outwardly boasts 80,000 soldiers, but secretly it has another 20,000, totaling 100,000 troops. Let alone annihilating the Pegu Dynasty, even taking down the neighboring Luchuan Dynasty would be a piece of cake.

Now, without even striking him first, he's come to his death. Fine, then let's destroy his Pegu Dynasty, and while we're at it, we'll also wipe out the neighboring Luchuan Dynasty. Ultimately, Myanmar will be unified by my Ava Dynasty, fulfilling my long-cherished wish.”
