Something suddenly occurred to me, and I thought back to the thought that had just flashed through my mind. (Baidu search: Burning the book library, see the fastest update Luo Rou and others saw me stop, and also pulled the horse to the side of the road, but the army did not stop, still slowly moving north.)

After a while, I figured something out and said, "Everyone, you say, if a team suddenly enters your capital, will you, as the king, be very worried?" ”

He Ruitian said without thinking: "It will definitely be, as the saying goes, 'Where you lie down, you can't allow others to snore'." ”

"Not bad!" I nodded, glanced at He Ruitian appreciatively, and said, "Yes!" If we are suspicious of each other and contain each other, then what kind of cooperation is there to talk about. ”

"What do you mean......" Luo Rou understood what to do, but she didn't say it.

I said, "Why don't we let the army be stationed here, train and train hard, and practice the skills of jungle warfare, and let a few of us go to see the king of Champa to show our trust in them and our sincerity to cooperate." ”

An Boya said on the side: "I also considered this before, but it is difficult for me as an outsider to bring it up, in case General Wang thinks that I harbor evil intentions and let the general be alone in danger to cause harm!" ”

"Look! We are all suspicious, let alone the king of Champong! I patted Amboya on the shoulder and smiled.

He Ruitian had some objections: "But the general went alone, there is no guarantee of safety, and if the king of Champa sees the general going alone, I am afraid that the king of Champa will underestimate our army." ”

"Isn't there General Zheta with him? He had seen the strength of our army with his own eyes, and he had made a statement to the king of Champa that he believed that the king of Champa would believe his words. ”

I have already made a decision, and said to An Boya: "Please ask Brother An to ask General Zheta, in order to avoid misunderstandings along the way, I want to have a large army stationed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, I don't know if it's okay!" ”

Amboya nodded and said a few words to Zheta. After hearing this, Zheta nodded and replied with a smile.

After listening to Zheta, An Boya translated his words: "General Wang, General Zheta agreed, and he will transfer a hundred people from the port of Toulon to be stationed next to your army to act as a sentry post for your army, after all, your army cannot understand the language, and having them on the side can reduce a lot of possible conflicts with the locals!" ”

I understand that these 100 people are actually a kind of surveillance! But this is nothing, I have no ill will towards them, and I believe that these hundred or so people will not pose any danger to our army.

"In addition, General Zheta also said that the army is stationed here, and he will purchase military supplies for our army locally, originally he wanted to bear the cost of the army, but the number of your army is really a lot, and his money is just a drop in the bucket, he can only retreat to the next best thing, and buy food and other things from nearby villagers on our behalf."

"Thank you, General Zheta, for his kindness!" In this way, with people who are familiar with the road to help from the side, the military needs of our army will not be a problem, and I sincerely ask An Boya to convey my gratitude.

Zheta smiled, turned his head and said something, and his entourage immediately galloped out of his entourage and galloped towards the port of Toulon.

"That's General Zheta asking them to go back to the port and bring troops to help set up camp!" Amboya said on the side.

I nodded and said, "General Zheta knows the terrain of this place very well, so please ask him to choose a place for us to camp!" ”

Zheta was also not polite, the nearby terrain was engraved in his mind, there was no need to look for it at all, he took us directly to the bottom of the water peak. Looking up, although the autumn wind has arrived, the mountains are still verdant, and the temple top and the tip of the Buddha are reflected in the emerald.

There is a flat land about two miles wide under the water peak, here is slightly higher than the north and southwest three sides of more than ten zhang, the south is adjacent to the water peak, there is a clear spring flowing down the mountain for drinking, if it is attacked, it can also retreat to the water peak, the land is indeed a good place for the garrison. It can be seen that this general Zheta is a general.

I was very satisfied with the terrain here, He Ruitian looked at the shape around him, and also gave Ta Ze a thumbs up.

Everyone had no opinions, and after some deliberation, He Ruitian led the army to camp here, and Luo Rou and I were escorted by Brother Niu's 100 cavalry, and went to occupy the capital with An Boya and others.

He Ruitian sent a few miles, and I solemnly said to him: "Our army is deep in other countries, we must not cause trouble in vain, and pay attention to peace as the precious." And for the general, you should not be comfortable and calm, do not lose the heart of guarding against others, and be cautious. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands!" He Ruitian hugged his fists.

He is a drum, and I don't need to beat it repeatedly. I said no more, waved away.

Along the way, under the leadership of Tazezheta, we were not troubled or hindered, and the road was safe and sound, and we arrived at Indra Bura, the capital of the city, in a day.

Zhancheng, our army was called Linyi in ancient times, the hometown of Xianglin County, Xiangxian County of Qin and Han Dynasties, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the district even established itself as the king, and was independent from the founding of the Han Dynasty. The territory of the city is relatively wide, from Hengshan Pass in the north, to Panlang and Panli in the south, with more than 400,000 people, 100,000 armor, and the strength is second only to Annam in the southern countries.

The capital Indra Buluo is the largest city in the city, divided into the inner city and the imperial city, the outer city is five miles wide from east to west and three miles long from north to south. The inner city was about a mile long and wide, and was the residence of the king and his concubines. There were 21,000 households in the city, a total of 135,000 people.

Outside the north gate, we were stopped for the first time, and these Champa soldiers were responsible for defending the capital division and protecting the king, and their vigilance was naturally higher than that of the local defenders. Although there are not many of us, Brother Niu's more than 100 cavalry is a division accustomed to conquest, if they are put into the city at will, in case there is any chaos, they will not be protected by the nine clans. Therefore, no matter how good things Zheta and Amboya said, the armor soldiers defending the city just shook their heads, and the city gate was ordered to be banned, and even more than 300 defenders were mobilized to block the city gate.

Finally, after saying all the good things, the city gate decree agreed that Zheta and Amboya should go to the city to ask for an audience with the king, and after the first qiē, the king would dispose of it himself. And Luo Rou and I could only take Brother Niu and the hundred horsemen to leave the city station, find a tea house and wait for a response. In order to show the defenders that we have no ill intentions, I deliberately asked Brother Niu to tie the horse to the side of the road.

Seeing this, the defenders ordered reinforcements to withdraw, and the city gates were reopened.

This bowl of tea was drunk for more than an hour, and then An Boya and Zheta accompanied a richly dressed old man out of the city.

I immediately got up and went to greet me outside the tea house with Luo Rou.

"This is Rajandhara, the prime minister of Champa!" An Boya bent down and pointed at the old man and said, "He is also my old friend!" ”

"I've seen the Prime Minister!" I bowed slightly.

"Ni Hao, Wang ...... Checkmate! ”

This Rajandra actually understands Chinese, and although his speech is a little strange, he can still understand it.

"Does the Prime Minister know Chinese?" I said.

"A little electricity (point)...... He called the ...... "Rajandhara touched Amboya gently.

"I am an old friend of the prime minister, and he also admires the Central Plains culture very much, just because the road is far away and I can't see it, so I am pulled to learn the Central Plains culture."

"Pen (Your Majesty)...... I heard that the heavens are up...... When the mission arrived, I was specially ordered to greet him, and his majesty set up a state banquet in the palace to entertain the messenger and the old friend (friend)! Let's go! ”

It's really funny to listen to Luo Zhendra's half-baked Chinese, but think about it, he is not qualified to laugh at others, he knows some Central Plains languages, but he can't even speak as simple as "Hello".

I nodded: "Then please introduce the Prime Minister!" ”

"This way, please!" Razhendra let me go first.

Brother Niu brought my mount early. When I was young, I, Rajandhara, Amboya, and Zheta walked through the streets of Indrabhura. In front of him were more than 40 cavalry soldiers who occupied the city to drive away the people on the road, and more than 100 cavalry behind him followed closely to guard, and Brother Niu led people at the end.

But seeing that the city is clean and tidy, the city is prosperous, and there are many shops, and the people have curly hair and black skin, which is slightly shorter than the people of the Central Plains. Temples can be seen everywhere, and pilgrims are endless, which shows that Buddhism has such an extremely important position in Champa. And many of these temples are a little different from Buddhist temples, regardless of the architectural style, or you can vaguely see the Bodhisattva Buddha enshrined inside.

Seeing that I was a little puzzled, Amboya explained: "It is a temple of Brahmanism, another state religion in Champa, and Brahmanism is not inferior to Buddhism in the status of Champa, and it is listed as the two major religions of Champa, and has always enjoyed the same treatment as Buddhism.

After a short time, the group came to the imperial city. When I got here, not to mention Brother Niu's 100 horsemen, even the more than 100 Zhancheng soldiers guarding the side had to stop.

After Luo Zhendra explained, I asked Brother Niu to take everyone to the Honglu Temple to settle down, and Luo Rou and I entered the palace to meet the king of Champong. Naturally, it is impossible to let other ** teams enter the palace, which is understandable. After reminding me to be careful, Brother Niu left with Razhendra's men.

This Rajandra definitely has a transcendent position in the city, as can be seen from the fact that he led us directly into the main hall without the need for a report from his chamberlain.

In the dragon chair on the jade steps, a sixty-year-old man wearing a purple and gold crown and a gauze robe looked at us side by side with his eyes threatening, looking at the world.

Needless to say, this man is the current king of Champa, Mahagatta III.

As a messenger, although you can't grovel to please him, you must also have the necessary respect and courtesy. After bowing down and reporting to his home, Mahagatha III smiled and waved his hand and said something.

Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, it was easy to guess from his expression, and it was obvious that he was very happy about our arrival as the king of a country.

An Boya whispered on the side: "King Mahagatha welcomes us, he has already arranged a state banquet, and he will personally take care of us in a while!" ”

Naturally, Long Tingnei couldn't talk non-stop like in the vegetable market, and I didn't have the courage to chat with others in front of a king, so I nodded slightly to indicate that I understood.
