In the face of the Sumatra and Mulu coalition forces, Li Rong beheaded 16,000 people and captured more than 3,000 people, and the bay where the southern coalition troops landed on Phuket turned into a sea of corpses and blood, the blue water turned light red, and the white beach became crimson. Countless sharks, saltwater crocodiles, and other carnivorous fish rush to devour the carcasses, because there are so many carcasses that even natural predators can live here.

With more than 300 remnants of his army, the king of Sumatra reluctantly left more than 200 large and small warships and drove more than 100 empty warships back in despair and disappeared into the sea.

More than 13,000 soldiers and civilians of the Phuket Governor's Office sang and celebrated, and after Li Rong, who had conquered the battle, agreed, people spontaneously set up a flowing water banquet in Phuket City for three days.

This banquet was both a celebration banquet and a send-off banquet, and the governor Li Rong led his army to land on the polar peninsula after the celebration banquet and carried out a sweep of the indigenous forces on the peninsula.

After this war, the power of the Nine Kingdoms and the Malay tribes on the Polar Peninsula declined, and several Malay leaders and kings were beheaded by the Tang army, temporarily falling into a period of chaos without a leader, which was when the Tang army launched a large-scale attack.

"Knock Knock ......"

With the earth-shattering sound of war drums beating on Phuket City, Li Rong and his 4,000 troops slowly left the city with 4,000 troops, using the captured Sumatra and Mulu countries to pass through the narrow strait north of Phuket.

To the east of Phuket are Krabi and Surat Thani, which are now home to the Kingdom of Cogolo.

The Kingdom of Gokuro had a deep relationship with the Phuket Governorate, and knew that the fighting power of the Tang army was by no means something that a group of small countries on the Bipolar Peninsula could deal with, and its king wisely rejected the request of the Nine Kingdoms to invite him to attack the Tang army.

The purpose of Li Rong's landing on the Polar Peninsula this time was to sweep away all the indigenous forces in the northern part of the peninsula, and Gogolo was not spared even if he did not participate in the siege. Who told him that Gokulo occupied one of the few plains in the Malay Peninsula that was suitable for cultivation of thousands of square kilometers, and that he was stuck on the way of Li Rong's march?

In the name of Gegu Luozi's enemy crossing the border and invading the Tang Dynasty, Li Rong waved his army to surround its royal city.

It is said to be a royal city, and it is also a small village surrounded by a fence mound.

Frightened, King Gokuluo hurriedly asked people to collect all the treasures in the city, and ran to Li Rong in fear to ask for sin, and carefully gave Li Rong the treasures and valuable national specialties ebony, aromatic wood, camphor, cara wood, and incense as gifts to make amends.

The hundreds of gold, eight boxes of pearls, and many special products that are common to all countries on the polar peninsula piled up in front of Li Rong's eyes can be sold at a high price as long as they are transported back to Datang and make a fortune. But in his eyes, he only glanced at it contemptuously, annexing the indigenous forces of the Polar Peninsula, and how many of these things he wanted.

"Do you know how great your sin is, O King Gokuro?"

King Gokuluo knelt deeply in front of Li Rong and did not dare to speak.

"It is a capital crime to cross the border and violate the border of my Tang Dynasty."

Li Rong shouted: "A certain promise is the king of Ming Yan according to the truth, and he will lead an army to pacify your country and destroy your clan, do you know?" ”

"Xiao Wang knows, and asks the governor to be magnanimous to save Gokuluo up and down ......"

King Gokuluo's voice trembled, and he kowtowed to Li Rong three times.

Li Rong was very satisfied with King Goguluo's performance, and knew that fear was the only way to let him handle it and drive him. Otherwise, with only 4,000 soldiers in his hands, how long will it take to sweep the northern part of the polar peninsula? This is where the importance of cannon fodder comes in.

"Of course, your crime is not irreparable, as long as you take the lead of King Yan and bring your Gokuluo national military and civilian assistance to the governor of Pontus to sweep away the remnants of the Nine Kingdoms and the Malay forces on the peninsula, not only will you not report to King Yan truthfully, but you will also say a few good words for you in front of King Yan, maybe you will be able to obtain the imperial court's policy and become a subject country of the Tang Dynasty from now on. I wonder if you'd like to? ”

When Ge Gu Luo heard this, it was nothing more than asking him to send troops and food to help Li Rong attack the Nine Kingdoms and those Malay tribes who were greatly injured by their vitality, but it was not a difficult matter, and he immediately expressed his loyalty: "Xiao Wang is willing to help the governor sweep away the country that is not a minister, and please ask the governor to take care of Xiao Wang more in the future. ”

"Speaking of need, Pontus has a small request."

"The Governor pleases that the little king will meet the Governor's request......"

Seeing that he would no longer pursue his crossing of the border, King Gokuro's anxious heart suddenly relaxed, and he patted his chest and reassured.

It is said that his brother Guluo is not a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and he has no obligation to block the enemy crossing for the Tang army, but Tang is strong and weak, so he can only be a man with his tail between his legs.

"This piece of land in your Gokuro is a good piece of arable land on the polar peninsula with many mountains and little land, and it is very close to a certain Phuket Governor's Mansion, and a certain military and civilian have been coveting it for a long time. The purpose of the Pontus expedition was to wipe out all indigenous kingdoms and tribes at the northern tip of the peninsula. According to a certain opinion, you still took the soldiers and civilians of Gokuluo to accompany a certain northern expedition, and when you arrived at a suitable place, how about a certain land for you to establish a country? ”

Although it was an inquiry, a discerning person could see that Li Rong would not allow King Gokuluo to speculate, but if he did not agree, I was afraid that King Gokuluo would be splattered with blood on the spot.

King Goguluo's brain was a little foggy, and his feelings Li Rong came violently, and it was fake for him to send troops to help the war, and it was true to vacate the land. glanced at the surrounding Tang army soldiers, all of them looked at each other, and their hands were on the hilt of the knife.

Knowing that it would be difficult for Li Rong to get out of the Tang army camp alive if he couldn't satisfy Li Rong today, King Gokuluo swallowed his saliva and replied with difficulty: "Goguluo is up and down, but it is arranged by the governor. ”

"Good! The governor of Pontus likes a refreshing king like you, so he hurried back to organize the soldiers and civilians of Ruguo, and followed a certain northern expedition two days later. ”

Li Rong laughed and said, in order to prevent King Geguluo from cheating, he also sent a captain to lead 800 troops to follow him back, and supervised King Goguluo to organize his whole army and people to accompany the Tang army to the north.

More than 1,300 years later, Nanyang was the most densely populated area in the world, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely a typical area of the world's sparse population. The harsh natural environment of the tropical rainforest climate environment has made the growth of the indigenous population of Nanyang, which has poor medical skills, extremely slow.

Even though Gokuro occupies nearly 20,000 square kilometers of land, the total population of the country is only more than 20,000, and the level of cultivation is a little more advanced than that of slash-and-burn farming.

At the urging of the Tang army, Gokuro set off north with the Tang army with all the soldiers and civilians of the country, carrying only all the food and some necessary tools for survival.

To be precise, it was carried north by the Tang army.

The targets of Li Rong's northern expedition were the three provinces of Ranong, Chumphon, and Pramburi in southern Thailand and the Daguabaa Kingdom and the indigenous tribes in the region of Burma on the polar peninsula, even if Daguapa and those indigenous tribes did not send troops, they were also among Li Rong's conquests.

The nine countries invaded by the coalition were all located south of Gokuluo, and according to the agreement of the day, they belonged to the sweep area of Yang Shihong, the governor of Duzhou Prefecture.

Yang Shihong, the governor of the Duizhou Governor's Mansion in the later Pattani, was still waiting for Li Rong to land on Phuket, and defeated another Nine-Nation Coalition army outside Zizhi City, the governor's office, beheading more than 9,000 ranks, and building three spectacular Beijing temples outside the city.

After Yang Shihong's victory, he immediately swept away the nine kingdoms south of the kingdom of Gokulo, namely the kingdom of Terracotta, Kada, Kedah, the kingdom of Angasga, the kingdom of Dandan, the kingdom of Folong, the kingdom of Danmaring, the kingdom of Nakhon, and the kingdom of Swijaya.

In one day, he destroyed the nearest kingdom of Angasgar, and went north to destroy the kingdoms of Dan Ma Ling, Luo Kun and Swijaya for three days, and before the other five kingdoms could react, Yang Shihong waved his army south to attack and destroy Kada and Kedah.

Only the land was connected, and the three kingdoms of Chitu, Dandan, and Folong, which were sandwiched between the Duzhou Governor's Mansion and the Puluo Governor, were frightened by the Tang army's soldiers, and hurriedly sent envoys to Zizhi City with heavy gifts to apologize to Yang Shihong and ask for peace.

At this time, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms conquered by Yang Shihong took advantage of the departure of the Tang army to rebel, and the new king once again erected the banner of anti-Tang Dynasty.

Yang Shihong had to temporarily agree to the request of the three countries to sue for peace, and raise troops to conquer the six countries again.
