Chapter 214: Bait that escaped to Champ
If you are a famous teacher, you will win the hearts of the people and win the world.
The reason for being famous is to put oneself in a righteous position and launch a just war. If the division is nameless, it will be an unjust war, a war of aggression. The enemy is resistant to counterattacks, easy to get assistance, and it is not easy for their own side to carry out the ideological work of the sergeants, which leads to low morale.
If the United States wants to seize the resources and territories of other countries, it will also invent the theory that individual rights are higher than sovereignty and come up with a preemptive strategy, so Li Nan also needs it.
The emperor of Jiaozhi, Li Qiande and several of his princes, are now the bait that Li Nan casts, in order to get a reason to attack the army.
If Li Gande runs to the powerful Zhenla Kingdom and Dali Kingdom, Li Nan still needs to plan carefully, after all, the military strength of these two countries is not small, but the occupation of the city country does not need to be considered too much.
Located on the eastern side of the Indochina Peninsula and close to the South China Sea, the Champong Kingdom was able to trade in the ocean for a long time because of its excellent geographical location.
This small country has one of the most famous things, and that is Champa rice.
Champa rice, also known as Zaohe or Zhanhe, is an early indica rice that was first introduced to the Fujian region of China in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Champa rice has many characteristics. One is "drought tolerance". The second is strong adaptability, "born regardless of location". Third, the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting.
By virtue of its advantageous geographical location, Champa played an important role in the Maritime Silk Road and thus gained great benefits. However, due to the sparse population but extremely wealthy, it naturally attracted the prying eyes of the two strong neighbors around him, Zhenla and Jiaozhi.
Two large countries and a small country are on the same peninsula, and this small country does not have many troops but has a full treasury, so Chenla and Cochin attack each other, and both want to take the city for themselves.
Today's Champa a few years ago, has been Jiaozhi auxiliary general Li Changjie led the army to take away the land of Sanzhou, although the current king of Champa Dharabmana III, many times tried to recapture his homeland, but failed.
According to the latest news, Li Gande went to Champa with the intention of making a deal with Vindrabrama III.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lendhara Varman III to send envoys to Thang Long City.
The envoy of Champa is a middle-aged man of the Cham tribe, he looks very different from the thin Jiaozhi people, but he is somewhat similar to the Indians of later generations, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong physique, which should be regarded as a beautiful man.
Chinese civilization has a long history, and the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties has influenced countless small surrounding countries, so this Champa envoy speaks Chinese very fluently.
"The envoy of the lower state, Serissa, see the general!" When they came to the Jinluan Palace, the envoys of Zhancheng hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Li Nan looked at this envoy who occupied the city, smiled and said, "Excuse me, I don't know what happened when you came from afar?" ”
Lai Zhi straightened up, and then looked at Li Nan on the dragon chair, it was obvious that the age of this Song man really surprised him a little.
When he came, King Lendharabama III personally told him to observe the words and deeds of this Song Dynasty's Guangnan West Road Xuanfu envoy and champion general, after all, Jiaozhi has now been destroyed, how can Zhancheng not be afraid.
After settling his mind, the envoy of Zhancheng said respectfully: "The general's prestige spreads far and wide, and the king of the country is also happy to hear that the general has defeated the Jiaozhi people and raised the prestige of the country......
Listening to the endless singing of the merits and virtues of the envoys of the city, Li Nan couldn't help but yawn, and directly interrupted him: "Okay, I know all this, you can directly say what Vindrabrama III means." ”
Although Li Nan interrupted his words, the envoy of the city of Zhancheng was not angry, and still said with a smile: "The country has always admired the Great Song Dynasty, and has also gone to Tokyo many times to pay tribute...... Therefore, I implore the general to return the three prefectures of Dili, Maling, and Buzheng that were taken away from Jiaozhi, and the people from the king to the people of the city will surely be grateful for the kindness of the Great Song Dynasty and the general. ”
"Hahaha!" Hearing the shameless words of the envoys of the Champa city, Li Nan and the ministers in the palace couldn't help laughing.
If this envoy from Zhancheng used these words to fool Zhao Ji of Song Huizong and the Wenchen of the Song people, he might be of some use, after all, they had done this kind of thing before, but in front of Li Nan, this kind of mouth cannon player is not good.
Li Nan, who knew the situation of later generations, although he was not a military fan, he had also studied basic history.
In later generations, all countries, not to mention grabbing such a three-state land, just to compete for the sovereignty of an island and a sea area, will invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and even break the bloodshed.
If Li Nan wants to learn from the ancestors of those losers and give away the territory, there are only four words--- absolutely not!
Li Nan smiled and said to Lin Chong, the secretary of the military department: "Recite the contents of the secret discussion between Vindra Varman III and Li Qiande to this envoy of the city." ”
Li Nan sent several generals to hunt down Li Qiande and his son, and they all carried a lot of rats with them, and these little things had only one task, that is, to obtain all useful information.
Before the arrival of the Champa envoy, Li Nan had spoken to the rats who had returned him, and he knew everything about Li Gande and Vindrabrama III.
For the sake of the rise of the city state, Vindravaman III decided to put aside his centuries-old hatred with Jiaozhi and marry his daughter to Li Qiande, using the remnants of the influence of the fugitive emperor to recruit those who were dissatisfied with Li Nan's rule.
After listening to Lin Chong's retelling of the secret discussion between Vindra Varman III and Li Qiande, the envoy of Champa, who had been smiling, suddenly turned pale and knelt on the ground and shouted, "This must be a misunderstanding!" For the sake of the country's always respectful to the Great Song Dynasty, please be aware of it! ”
If other Song people might still care about the Great Song Dynasty, but Li Nan, a guy who rebelled sooner or later, of course wouldn't pay attention to these indifferent things.
"Misunderstanding!" Li Nan pointed at the envoy of Zhancheng and said angrily: "The little Zhancheng is not ambitious, and he dares to collude with Li Qiande to do such a despicable thing, you hurry back and tell Vindra Varman III, wash your neck and wait!" ”
The frightened Champa envoys were dragged down, and Li Nan said to everyone: "There are only 10,000 troops in the Champa city, who will bring back the Dharabama III?" ”
Spartacus and Kress said in unison, "I want to go!" ”
Li Nan looked at the two generals under him with relief, pointed at Kress and said, "This time, you can lead the troops, but it is easy to attack the city and plunder the land, but it is difficult to appease the people and collect those merchant ships." Discuss the specific strategy, and bring the officials in charge of government affairs and the patrol security army with you. Remember, what I need is an intact Champ, not a blank slate, you know? ”
