…

As Li Yan expected, it didn't take long for the news that Li Renzong had died, and Li Renzong's nephew Li Yanghuan (that is, Li Shenzong), who was only twelve years old, succeeded to the throne.

At present, Xiao Jiasui and others are sending a large army to escort Li Yanghuan and Li Yanghuan's queen Gangna, as well as the princes and ministers of the Li Dynasty and the daughters of the princes and nobles of the Li Dynasty to meet Li Yan in Hainan County, and they will send the treasures of the Li Dynasty to Li Yan later.

But—

The process has not been smooth sailing.

Just when Xiao Jiasui and others attacked Bac Giang Gufa Prefecture, the Khmer State suddenly sent 10,000 war elephants to rescue the Li Dynasty.

Afterwards, Xiao Jiasui and others learned that the Li Dynasty called Fannagong to the Khmer State, and Li Shenzong also recognized Suyavarman II as his uncle, and the Khmer State sent these 10,000 war elephants to the Li Dynasty.

This Khmer country is just the name of the Khmer people themselves, the Song State called them Chenla, the people of later generations called it Cambodia, and later scholars called this dynasty Angkor Dynasty.

Don't think that Cambodia has always been so weak, Cambodia in this era, that is, the Khmer State, is very powerful, it occupies all of Cambodia in later generations, most of Thailand and Laos, Vietnam and southern Myanmar, is the most powerful country in the history of Southeast Asia, and has had a significant impact on almost all countries in the Indochina Peninsula.

War elephants are so powerful that they are invulnerable and unstoppable, and their long snouts roll people up with a slight touch, and then they crush people to pieces, and their huge elephant hooves step on people, and people are immediately turned into meatloaf.

The first time they faced the elephant soldiers, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others were actually very bottomless, it can be said that they fought hard, and they were ready, once they couldn't win, they planned to retreat decisively.

But what Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others didn't expect was that the war elephants were powerful, but they had a fatal weakness, that is, they were very timid, so timid that the conscienceless cannon of the Liangshan Army only fired one round, and they were startled, and then they ran around, and then trampled on each other.

As a result, the Liangshan army won almost without a fight.

Li Yan soon met Li Shenzong and other princes and nobles of the Li Dynasty.

Li Yanghuan, who was only twelve years old, trembled when he saw Li Yan, and he was not a wise monarch at first glance.

However, it was Li Shenzong's queen who behaved generously, which made Li Yan appreciate it very much.

Li Yan honestly and unceremoniously included Li Yanghuan's queen and more than 20 beauties of the Li Dynasty he liked into his harem, and then asked people to send Li Yanghuan and others to Seoul, and then decide what to do with it later.

After this, Li Yan changed the Li Dynasty to Annan County, appointed General Lü as Taishou, and transferred Bian Xiang and the second chamber to guard this county.

Just when Xiao Jiasui and others were cleaning up the remnants of the Li Dynasty in Annan County, a Cham man named Fan Zhiyang came to Hainan County to see Li Yan, and presented Li Yan with twenty Cham beauties (three of whom were also Fan Zhiyang's daughters) and ten treasures.

Cham is Champa, Champa rice is produced here, it is located in the southeast of the Indochina Peninsula, north from the Heng Son Pass in Ha Tinh Province, Vietnam in the north, to Phan Lang and Phan Li areas in Binh Thuan Province in the south, the king is Indra Buluo, figuratively speaking, it is the south of Vietnam in later generations.

Cham was originally Xianglin County of Rinan County in the Han Dynasty of China, and later Xianglin County Gongcao's son Qu Kui (also known as Ouda or District Lian, also known as Shili Moluo), killed the county order, called himself the king, and founded the Champa country.

The second stop on the southern route is this Cham country.

Therefore, when he heard that Fan Zhiyang was a Cham person, Li Yan thought about it and met this person.

As soon as they met, Fan Zhiyang knelt down and said: "Fan Zhiyang, a deceased countryman, greets the Eastern Emperor!" ”

Hearing Fan Zhiyang's words, Li Yan was stunned, "When did I have this title?" ”

In fact, this is the honorific title given to Li Yan by Fan Zhiyang.

The news of this era is not so well-informed, and the time for Li Yan's rise is short, so Fan Zhiyang only knows that Li Yan comes from a powerful country in the east and is the king of that powerful country, but he doesn't know what that powerful country is, and Shuibo Liangshan is not like the name of a country, so Fan Zhiyang doesn't know what to call Li Yan.

In addition, Fan Zhiyang had a request for Li Yan, so he tried his best to praise Li Yan, wanted to make Li Yan happy, and then agreed to his request.

Therefore, Fan Zhiyang gave Li Yan the honorific title of "Eastern Emperor".

Seeing that Li Yan didn't seem to be disgusted with the title of "Eastern Emperor", but was a little puzzled, Fan Zhiyang said: "In the hearts of the deceased people, you are the greatest emperor in the East, so the deceased people call you the Eastern Emperor." ”

Fan Zhiyang only said two sentences, and then said three "dead countrymen", if Li Yan still didn't notice it, it would be deliberately embarrassing Fan Zhiyang.

Li Yan didn't want to embarrass Fan Zhiyang, so he looked at Fan Zhiyang and asked, "What do you mean by calling yourself a dead countryman?" ”

Fan Zhiyang hurriedly said: "The people who died in the country were originally descendants of the Champa royal family......

To put it simply, less than 100 years after the establishment of the Cham State by Ou Lian, the imperial power fell into the hands of the Fan family, and then passed on for hundreds of years before being destroyed by the side surname.

And this Fan Zhiyang is the direct descendant of the Fan family, and now he is a very successful maritime businessman, and the purpose of his request to see Li Yan is to let Li Yan help him restore the country, and he promised that as long as Li Yan helps him restore the country, the Cham country will always respect Shuibo Liangshan as the suzerain.

In this regard, Li Yan did not want to agree.

You must know that Li Yan came out this time, not to fight, but to open up trade routes.

The Cham kingdom did not attack the territory of Shuibo Liangshan and rob the population of Shuibo Liangshan like the Li Dynasty, nor did it explicitly oppose trade with Shuibo Liangshan, so Li Yan had no reason and no need to attack the Champa state.

But Fan Zhiyang found an excuse for Li Yan, that is, the Khmer State and the Cham State that had been fighting seemed to have joined forces, and their enemy was obviously Shuibo Liangshan.

In addition, the Cham state also robbed Hainan Island, plundered the population of the Song state, and often obtained benefits by attacking merchant ships or using troops abroad, and was also a very aggressive country, not a good trade partner.

In addition, there is a small excuse, that is, Fan Zhiyang's three daughters are very beautiful, especially the second daughter Fan Hongmin, who is simply a national beauty, which makes Li Yan very nostalgic, and the three of them blew some wind in Li Yan's ears, which also affected Li Yan a little.

Of course, the main thing is that the Cham country may be a stumbling block on its own trade route.

Therefore, Li Yan finally moved the idea of destroying the Cham country, after all, this important turnover station is in his own hands, and it is the safest.
