"Your Highness, but Linyi is not a good bird."

"What's wrong with Lin Yi?"

"Linyi was Xiangjun Xianglin County during the Qin and Han dynasties, and the place where the horses aided the casting of the pillars went to the South China Sea for 3,000 miles. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the son of Gong Cao in the county surnamed District Lian, killed the county order and established himself as the king, and his descendants inherited it from then on. ”

"Since Sun Wu, he has often not looked towards China. Its people are fierce in nature, and they are used to mountains and rivers before fighting, and they are not idle on the ground. Noble women and cheap men, married with the same surname. During the Jin Dynasty, he captured Rinan County and killed five or six thousand people. ”

"Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Linyi has often invaded Rinan, Jiude, Jiuzhen and other counties, and Jiaozhou has been weak."

Cheng Qian was shocked, it turned out that this Lin Yi was really not a good bird, the founding king was originally just the son of a small Gong Cao in Xianglin County at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he took advantage of the chaos to kill the county order and set himself up as the king. In the following hundreds of years, he often entered the counties north of Kou, often killing people and taking money.

"This Lin Yi should also be requisitioned!"

Li Chao picked up the teacup and drank it leisurely.

Yang Shidao thought thoughtfully, "King Zhao's intention, let the three kingdoms attack and fight with each other, and then I, the Tang Dynasty, will reap the benefits of the fishermen?" ”

"No, no, no," Li Chao shook his head, just sitting back and watching, it was too negative. It's rare to encounter such a good opportunity, of course Datang has to actively participate in it, and the pie will not fall from the sky, so you have to fight for it yourself.

During the Southern Dynasties, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty fought against Linyi.

There were victories and defeats, and basically Lin Yi was the first to die and sent troops to attack, first to capture some territory, kill people and plunder. Then the Southern Dynasty sent troops to levy, and finally defeated Linyi, and the king of Linyi sent envoys to negotiate peace. So, in the end, the court of the Southern Dynasty sealed the king of Linyi and rewarded him with something, well, the two families withdrew their troops.

After ten or twenty years, Lin Yi will be cheap again, and when he was finally beaten with a full head, he had to beg for mercy.

Repeat and repeat, the last time they were beaten, it was during the Sui Dynasty, they committed another cheap invasion, and as a result, the Sui Dynasty sent troops to knock down their capitals, and even their king's throne was demolished.

"Your Highness, there is a mountain of gold in Linyi, and the golden juice even flows out of Pu. Lin Yi used gold and silver to cast human statues, which were ten circumferences large. At the time of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Tan and Zhi cut down Linyi, and Fan Yangmai, the king of Linyi, planned to lose 10,000 catties of gold, 100,000 catties of silver, and 300,000 catties of copper, and did not seek peace in the south. As a result, the minister of Linyi refused, Tanhezhi marched, defeated the Linyi army, destroyed countless gold, and took tens of thousands of catties of gold and returned! ”

When Li Chao said this, his eyes were a little red.

Tens of thousands of catties of gold, not copper, but gold. Although the Central Plains used copper coins as gold, here, gold, silver and copper are juxtaposed, and this gold is not fake. Won tens of thousands of catties of gold, it can be seen that the dispatch of troops from Southern Qi this time is really a big profit.

Yang Shidao sat on the side and listened a little embarrassed.

He was the son of Yang Xiong, the king of the Sui Dynasty. He knew better than Li Chao the beginning and end of the Sui Dynasty's attack on Linyi, in fact, the Sui Dynasty's attack on Linyi was not Yang Guang but Yang Jian, it was the last years of Renshou, because the Great Sui had already conquered the world, and the northern Turks had surrendered.

There was nothing to do in the world, so those ministers talked about Linyi, because after Sui Pingchen, Linyi, who originally paid tribute to Nanchen, no longer paid tribute to the Central Plains.

The Great Sui had nothing to do in the world at this time, so he began to turn over the old accounts and teach this small country of Linyi a lesson. It just so happened that the ministers all said that this Linyi had many treasures, and some people said that during the Southern Qi Dynasty, Jiaozhou assassin Shi Tan and his crusade against Linyi, and obtained tens of thousands of gold and gold.

As a result, Yang Jian really sent the general Liu Fang as the head of the march of the Luzhou Road, and led the Qinzhou Assassin Shi Ning Changzhen, the Suizhou Assassin Shi Li Huang, and the Kaifu Qin Xiong to lead more than 10,000 foot cavalry and thousands of criminals to attack.

At that time, the king of Linyi led the war elephants to fight, Liu Fang was defeated for a while, and then thought of a way, dug many small pits, covered them with grass, and then deliberately lured the Linyi army.

The king of Linyi led the army to fight, Liu Fang pretended to be defeated and retreated, the king of Linyi pursued, and when he arrived at the ambush site, the war elephants of Linyi were pitted, the Linyi army was in chaos, and Liu Fang's ambush troops were exhausted, and Linyi was broken.

After that, the morale of the Sui army was like a macro, and they played triumphant songs all the way, while the Lin Yi army was repeatedly defeated, abandoned the city and fled.

Liu Fang attacked the capital of Linyi all the way, and captured the eighteen huge golden elephants cast in gold of Linyi, as well as countless treasures, and Fang returned with his master. After this defeat, Lin Yi sent envoys to the court to ask for guilt, and since then the tribute has not stopped.

However, although Liu Fang won a big victory that time, he also won many golden treasures. But when the army withdrew, it contracted an epidemic, and as a result, most of the army was killed and wounded.

The current king of Linyi is Fan Fanzhi, who led the war elephant to fight the Sui army, and even lost the capital as a result. At this time, Fan Fanzhi was already dying and old, and most of the affairs of Linyi were presided over by his prince Fan Touli.

Fan Touli still has a lot of ideas, watching Zhenla's Funan lose and retreat, and he didn't want to see Zhenla's family dominant, so he decisively sent troops to shake Funan, and sent people to seek the support of Datang.

"There is a powerful force in Nanban, which is not good for Datang." Li Chao set the tone first, and then said, "But what to say about the kingdom of Linyi, the Qin and Han dynasties were originally the territory of the Central Plains, and the Han Dynasty ruled for hundreds of years. ”

"The land of Linyi is the old frontier of my Han family, and its country is the generation of wolves."

Li Chao meant that he simply took advantage of the current opportunity to destroy Lin Yi. After all, Lam Ap occupied the central part of what was later Vietnam, which was a coastal area. For Datang, this site is still very important.

If it can be recovered, the future maritime trade will be safer, and of course, it can also expand the territory, or recover the old territory.

"But at present, the forces of Linyi, Zhenla, and Funan are balanced, and if we send troops to Linyi, I am afraid that Zhenla will win this battle. At that time, wouldn't you let Zhenla sit big? Yang Shidao asked.

"That's not how I see it." Li Chao shook his head, "We can talk to Zhenla and Funan first." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk to Zhenla, we are willing to send troops to support him, and the plan is that we attack Linyi for them, so that Zhenla can do his best to clean up Funan. The condition for sending troops is that Lin Yi will return to Datang afterwards. In addition, our border with the north of Chenla needs to be redrawn. For example, we are in the northwest, and we should be bounded by the watershed south of the Ma River. ”

After listening to Li Chao's words, Yang Shidao thought about the new boundary he said.

The watershed of the mountains south of the Ma River?

Originally, the boundary was bounded by the watershed of the mountains between the Heishui River and the Red River.

Li Chao's Zhao Guo actually took a large piece of territory from Zhenla. But it's all mountainous, and it's nothing. Before the Zhenla people could say anything about that, Li Chao opened his mouth again, and wanted to move the border from the mountain watershed between the Heishui River and the Majiang country of the Line of Actual Control that he now occupies, to the south of the mountain range south of the Majiang River.

Two times before and after, this is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty moving the border southward to three large mountain ranges.

A huge piece of land that is hundreds of miles wide from north to south and seven or eight hundred miles long from east to west, even if it is a mountainous area, it is a large piece of land after all.

"The Zhenla people may not be willing to agree, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree, then we will tell them that we will support Funan and directly send troops to attack Zhenla. At that time, what we cut from Zhenla will not be this mountainous area of the headquarters. Perhaps, we will help Nan to destroy Zhenla directly. ”

Yang Shidao secretly gave a shameless evaluation of Li Chao's words.

It's so shameless, how can you be like this.

"King Zhao, I'm afraid that this will damage the prestige of my dynasty, right?"

"How can it be a detriment to take advantage?" Li Chao corrected Yang Shidao. Externally, it is natural to be realistic and tougher. To a southern barbarian state, what are you doing politely to them? If you don't take advantage of it, it's all a bastard.

Yang Shidao wanted to say, King Zhao, you are pretending to be a public servant. Holding the banner of the Tang Dynasty, forcing Zhenla to admit the fiefdom of the Zhao State you have taken, and now you even want to use the name of the Tang Dynasty to double the expansion of your Zhao Kingdom.

Li Chao looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "I'm all for the Tang Dynasty and the Han family, even if I have to bear a little infamy, I'm willing." ”

Is this a matter of infamy? It was you, Li Chao, who took the opportunity to stabilize your fiefdom and expand it by hundreds of miles.

"I'm afraid that Funanguo may not agree to our conquest of Linyi."

"Disagree? Then we will fight together with Funan, and just destroy Linyi and Funan, and then our Quang Nam and Vietnam provinces will be connected together, and at that time Vietnam will no longer be an enclave. Li Chao said murderously.

Funan is now unable to protect himself, if Datang expresses his willingness to send troops to support him, and the condition is to destroy his ally Lin Yi, what can he say. What does he want to say, he doesn't have the spare energy, so he can't take care of Zhenla.

"Then what if Zhenla takes the opportunity to destroy Funan?" Yang Shidao asked again.

"It's not a big deal. Isn't that Zhenla a tradition, and the king will cripple the other brothers when he succeeds to the throne? The system is so cruel that I am sure that the king's brothers must have resented the king who had mutilated them. At that time, we will find a way to support a prince to come out and raise an army to make a king. I believe that with our full support, Zhenla will definitely be very lively. ”

Historically, after Zhenla destroyed Funan, it did not take long for it to be divided into internal strife. It was split into Lu Chenla in the north and Shui Chenla in the south.

Besides, even if it can't provoke the Zhenla split, it's not a big deal.

It is enough for Datang to take this opportunity to annex Linyi.

As for whether Zhenla can destroy Funan or not, it doesn't matter. Even if they destroy Funan, they can really shout at Datang and wrestle their wrists.

Li Chao still attaches more importance to Linyi by the sea, and laying down Linyi is not only beneficial to Datang, but also very beneficial to their Nanyang Company.

If Funan is occupied by Zhenla, it's a big deal to wait for Lin Yi to digest it, and then send troops to take the original land of Funan.

It's so simple and rude, Datang has this strength!
