King Goguluo's suggestion made Li Rong's heart move, and he did not hold him accountable for the defeat of the enemy just now, grabbed his arm and asked sharply: "The Meng tribe encountered today sent more than 2,000 troops, and the war elephants are only about seventy or eighty, and they are all war elephants. As far as a certain know, the Meng people don't have any strong forces except Daguabaa in the west, how can they get hundreds of elephants? ”

King Gokuro endured the pain in his arm, and kept a flattering smile one by one: "Dudu, among the Meng people, the strongest among the Meng people is not the Meng tribe encountered today, nor the Daguaba, who founded the country, but the Meng people who continue to live thousands of miles north on both sides of a great river and establish a country named Fallen Bowl. ”

"Oh? Then are you going to talk about the population of this fallen bowl, how wide the territory is, and tens of thousands of victorious soldiers? ”

It was the first time that Li Rong had heard of a fallen bowl kingdom established by the Meng people north of the Polar Peninsula, and from the words of King Gokuluo, the strength of this fallen bowl should not be underestimated.

Nuo is that there are really hundreds of war elephants in his country, Li Rong said that he had no choice but to continue to the north to destroy the fallen bowl, snatched hundreds of war elephants in his country, armed an elephant soldier, and envied the other four governors.

"Governor, Xiao Wang only learned some information from the merchants and the envoys who fell from the bottom of the bowl in previous years, and Xiao Wang didn't know too much about it. After the Governor broke through Daguaba, he asked the local Tianzhu merchants who should know better. ”

King Gokuro replied embarrassedly.

Li Rong was immediately dissatisfied and pushed King Gokuro aside, and angrily waved his army to the west, Nuo did not find a Tianzhu merchant who was familiar with the bottom of the fallen bowl in Daguaba, and he would screw off King Gokuro's head and kick it as a ball.

Three days later, the Tang army appeared outside the port city of Daguaba, which is also a port state, on the left bank of the Bazhan River valley on the Kra Isthmus.

Daguaba, a thriving trading port connecting the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea, is most influenced by Hindu Brahmin ideology, with Brahmin temples dotted throughout the city.

Many Tamil merchants from India used this as a base to expand their trade with the Nanyang islands, and extended all the way north to the southeast coast of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang army suddenly appeared outside the city, and the attitude did not look very friendly, the king of Daguaba's face was solemn, and when he organized the defenders of the city to defend, he sent envoys to the Tang army's camp with gifts to meet him, and asked the Tang army for the purpose of Daguaba.

In view of the recent series of changes on the peninsula, many indigenous kingdoms and tribes were slaughtered by the Tang army, and the news gathered from merchants from all sides who came to trade brought the news that Daguaba, who had established itself as a merchant based on commerce, made King Daguaba's heart heavy.

Daguaba is a port city, although it is located on the same peninsula, it is far away from the south-central part of the peninsula where the power of the indigenous kingdoms gathers, and the intersection between the two is not wide, so the nine countries did not contact Daguabaa when they jointly attacked the Tang army.

When the envoy who went to visit the Tang army camp returned, the king of Daguaba hurriedly asked the Tang army what he meant by coming.

"My lord, the commander of the Tang army wants us to sacrifice all the elephants in the country, in addition to 5,000 taels of gold and 30,000 taels of silver, and under the supervision of the Tang army, the soldiers and civilians of the whole country will migrate north to the place they designated to re-establish the country. Otherwise, the city will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed, and there will be no one left in the city. If you don't respect the order after an hour, the Tang army will attack the city......"

"Hubris...... Shameless....... ”

King Daguaba's body trembled with anger.

After the residents of the city learned of the Tang army's shameless demand, they were all filled with righteous indignation, but when they thought of the threat that the Tang army would not leave behind after breaking the city, ninety percent of them were intimidated. Because it was those Tianzhu merchants who were clamoring for the king of Daguaba, he quickly agreed to the request of the Tang army, and by the way, he packed up his soft and fled out of the city quickly. They had come to do business and seek wealth, but not to bury the Daguaba.

When these wealthy Tianzhu merchants went out of the city with their wealth for less than two miles, they were driven back by the Tang army outside the city.

The reason is simple.

"Governor, there are many wealthy Tianzhu merchants gathered in the city of Daguaba, who travel back and forth between Tianzhu and Nanyang, and make huge profits by pouring the special products of the two places, and each of them has a huge fortune. After the city was broken, the Governor scraped off them with a wealth of no less than 100,000 taels of gold......"

King Gokuluo told him in front of Li Rong with a flattering face how rich the Tianzhu merchants in the city were, and that if he could loot the Tianzhu merchants, the Tang army would definitely be able to make a windfall, which could be regarded as his contribution to the loyalty of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Rong and his generals suddenly showed a smile that everyone understood, saying that they had done this more than once, and they had long been familiar with the road, and they didn't need Li Rong's instructions to do anything.

Then, none of the inhabitants of Daguaba were allowed to leave.

In order to save their lives, the residents of the city, who were those Tianzhu merchants, constantly put pressure on the king of Daguaba, asking him to quickly open the city and surrender.

Recently, the Tang army has massacred the indigenous forces in the central and southern parts of the peninsula, and many Tianzhu merchants in the city have seen it with their own eyes.

The king of Daguaba had no choice but to send people out of the city to express to Li Rong that he was willing to surrender the whole country.

But at this time, Li Rong extracted more harsh conditions, promising not to accept surrender.

"All the inhabitants of the city are allowed to go out alone, and all their belongings must remain in the city to be received by our army, after which our army will give you five days' rations and move north to the place designated by our army."

"Governor, all the property is left in the city and only gives us five days' food, so how can we live if tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians move north?"

The messenger choked sadly.

"There are so many edible roots, wild fruits, and prey in the jungle, and you are worried about what you didn't eat on the way north? Do you Daguaba's hands and feet look good with grease and powder like women? ”

King Gokuluo immediately stood up and scolded violently, scolding the Daguaba envoy with shame and indignation, which caused the generals of the Tang Army present to laugh very happily.

Ignoring the prayers of the messengers of Daguaba, Li Rong insisted on demanding all the goods in the city.

This is also a helpless thing, who is called to return to Li Rong Puji Governor's Mansion to sweep away the indigenous forces in the north of the peninsula There are only two kingdoms of Gogulo and Daguaba, and the others are barbarian tribes have no oil and water to scrape. Due to its poor geographical location and the surrounding maritime trade powers, Gokuro has become a typical poor country on the peninsula.

It's like cleaning up Yang Shihong, the governor of Duizhou, who is piled up in the rich and smacking indigenous kingdoms in the south-central part of the peninsula, God knows how many gold and silver treasures Yang Shihong looted after destroying the Nine Kingdoms and slaughtering more than a dozen Malay tribes.

The Nine Kingdoms relied on their ports to develop maritime trade to make their fortunes, collecting spices from the rainforest and exchanging them for foreign treasures from merchants who came to trade. In addition, the peninsula is rich in gold resources, and countries have always used gold mining as another important source of income for their countries, and the utensils and decorations used by the royal family are made of gold.

These have nothing to do with Li Rong, they all let Yang Shihong pick up the cheap.

Li Rong suddenly discovered that among the five major governors of Nanyang, he was the poorest in the Phuket Governor's Mansion, and he finally caught a wealthy businessman who gathered and was rich through the sea trade, how could he let it go lightly?

"Too much deception......

The king of Daguaba was furious, and the army and people of the city were indignant.

Not only did they have to move their nests, but they also had to give away all the money on their bodies, and they were not allowed to keep them at all, even the Tianzhu merchants who spared their lives were angry.

What did they come all the way from Tianzhu to Nanyang for? Isn't it money? Tang Jun actually let them not even take a single child away, is it unbearable, fight!

The soldiers and civilians of Daguaba, who shared the same hatred of the enemy, were all armed and vowed to fight to the death with the Tang army.

Li Rong was angry, and the four thousand Tang Army soldiers were angry.

It is a great gift to leave you barbarians alive, and you actually fought to the end against the Tang Heavenly Soldiers for something outside your body. So what else to say? We can only wash our swords with your blood!

Li Rong waved his army to attack, and the Gokuro people were the vanguard to consume the city's defending equipment, and the elite Tang army infantry followed.

The low city of Daguaba did not last an hour before the Tang army climbed the city on foot and scattered the defenders.

Just choked on the blood and wanted to fight to the death, let the Tang army see that they Daguaba people are not easy to bully, and the residents of the city can see.

This is still a hair, the Tang soldiers who relied on the city wall turned over and came up, the arrows could not penetrate the armor on the Tang army, and the knife and the bright steel knife in the hands of the Tang army could cut a gap and be scrapped directly.

I can't fight!

Most of the soldiers and civilians defending the city who understood the gap with the Tang army scattered with a bang, opened the city gate and wanted to get out of the city, but they were horrified to find that the city had already been surrounded by the Tang army and could not escape.

"What do the people in the city of Daguabaa think, the governor of Pontus left them alive, they prefer to spare money, but now it is good, people and money are empty, why bother?"

Li Rong sighed for a while.

"Governor of the city, the king of Daguaba is willing to surrender with all the goods in the city, but I don't know what the governor means?"

"Slaughtered!"
