Zhang Jiayu and the others, who were negotiating in Tianzhu, finally knew why Tianzhu's side had such an attitude during the negotiations, the imperial court, the imperial army, actually suffered another big defeat in Manraka!

More than 100,000 troops lost 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and the side line of the confrontation between the two armies was also broken, although the expeditionary force was still ensuring that this situation was only temporary, and the Song army would definitely not be driven into the sea as the Tianzhu people said, but Zhang Jiayu's bottom line had been deeply touched - the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were also defeated?

This kind of touch is not something that Wang Bo on the battlefield can imagine.

Although this defeat seemed to Wang Bo to be just an ordinary mistake in the confrontation of the army on the battlefield, and the inevitable result without understanding the tactics of the Tianzhu army, as the commander of the army, Wang Bo was determined to maintain the balance of power between the two armies, but in the eyes of a civilian official like Zhang Jiayu, this defeat was like a bolt from the blue.

Will the Great Song also fail?

And it is still the result of the elite, with a total of more than 100,000 troops, and the three military orders in the army are the result of the elite in the Great Song Dynasty military order?

Wang Bo didn't understand how big the blow of this defeat was to the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty, as soon as this news came out, Borneo on the border with Manraka shook, Java shook, and even the six central and southern provinces on the border of the Great Song Dynasty also shook!

"Rubbish! Rubbish! How can the Great Song Dynasty be defeated in the hands of the Tianzhu people? ”

Li Zixun, the former envoy of Annam Province and the head of the Li family, who was staying for Zhen, jumped to his feet and scolded angrily. His Li family used to be a royal family in this land, and he had strong power in this one-third of an acre of land in Annan Province, so the imperial court dismissed him from his position as a festival envoy, and it did not have much impact on the latent power of the Li family.

But he never expected that even that Tianzhu's Li Zhe would even give the Song Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops a head-on blow.

This shocked the officials and people of the six central and southern provinces!

Then Li Zhe will not defeat Wang Bo, so take advantage of the victory to run over the border! This was the case when Tianzhu invaded Ning Wang Domain, compared to the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Wang Bo's hands, there was no protection in these provinces!

For hundreds of years, there has never been a force in the entire surrounding area that can challenge the might of the Great Song Dynasty, so the people of the Great Song Dynasty have never had such an opportunity.

When did the Song people taste this feeling?

The civil order in the six provinces was in turmoil, and for a time there was a tendency to get out of control, and urgent letters from various government offices were sent to Jinling like snowflakes.

The envoys of the provinces also sent letters to the front line to inquire, putting pressure on the envoy team of Tianzhu, urging the envoys to speed up the negotiation process and ensure the peace of the border.

The pressure is now coming to him Zhang Jiayu, he never expected that what he thought in advance should be to follow the power of the imperial army to the south, coerce Tianzhu up and down, and force Tianzhu to sign a negotiation process with more favorable conditions with the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is all the other way around.

Tianzhu, who was supposed to be in internal and external difficulties, was so tough, as if he was not afraid of the pressure of the Great Song Dynasty, and on the front line Wang Bo, such a calm old handsome, holding such a deck of cards in his hand, would still be defeated in the hands of Tianzhu people.

No matter how many objective conditions you say about this battle, it is realistic that it will be defeated in the hands of the Tianzhu people and bring shock to the Song Dynasty and the opposition.

In pure military affairs, the Great Song Dynasty could not take advantage, but was much inferior.

So what did he Zhang Jiayu do during this period of time on Tianzhu's side, is he making fun of others?

The strength of diplomats is based entirely on the strength of the state, and in this era, military power is hard power that overrides all other soft power.

If the Great Song army really can't achieve deterrence.

Then all the efforts of the diplomats at the front are meaningless.

Zhang Jiayu couldn't help but think that it is said that Tianzhu should have known about the victory on the front line earlier than him, so in the past few days, aren't these Tianzhu people holding back their energy to watch the jokes of his Great Song Dynasty envoys?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayu's old face was flushed, and he was almost bleeding, no wonder he came back a while ago and responded to all the calls, and the old men who secretly cooperated with him Zhang have now pushed down.

So, some time ago, Zhang Jiayu secretly used the Zhang family to do those things, I'm afraid Tianzhu has already found out.

When he came back this time, he made his Zhang family miserable.

With the ruthlessness of Queen Zhu today, I am afraid that this time will definitely not bypass their Zhang family.

Ay! The Zhang family of Mengzhou has been operating in Tianzhu for hundreds of years, and this time it was ruined by the unfilial son of his family!

Zhang Jiayu felt a heart-rending cramp in his heart.

So now, what to do?

Do you still want to stick to the previous negotiation strategy?

In retrospect, the head of the imperial court said to his own family in the secret room: "No matter what, you must stabilize Tianzhu, and you must not directly confront it by force. ”

This was before the imperial court went south and lacked a comprehensive understanding of the current Tianzhu's intelligence.

Now after truly understanding the strength of Tianzhu, Zhang Jiayu also understands that the imperial court is also helpless.

Now that Tianzhu is obtained, even if the imperial court goes all out to crusade, I am afraid it will not help, and the distance and strength comparison between the two sides do not allow the Great Song Dynasty to rise up and destroy it.

This will undoubtedly be a long-term contest, just like between Mengyuan and the Great Song Dynasty back then, even now the Great Song Dynasty is definitely stronger than Tianzhu, but the Great Song Dynasty has no ability to destroy the other party in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Wang Bo's army went south, and it was just a gesture for the imperial court, deterring by force, resolving it diplomatically, and doing its best to curb its expansion, which was the pragmatic strategy of the imperial court to go south this time.

The young deputy envoy Shi Quan came to Zhang Jiayu's side, his face almost overflowing with embarrassment.

"Shi Shilang! What more bad news! Just say it, no matter how bad it is, can it be worse than now? ”

The corners of Shi Quan's mouth moved slightly, and Zhang Jiayu immediately had a more ominous feeling,

"Ten days ago, a fleet of Tianzhu, under the leadership of Xu Qingfan, from the previous time, went out of the Manchurian Strait and raided Pontianak in Borneo, annihilating the last fleet under King Ning who was stationed there and burning the port of Pontianak. On the same day, tens of thousands of troops of Tianzhu's military order Weiyuan army were concentrated in Palembang, which was commanded by Yang Zhiyuan, a famous general of Tianzhu, and seemed to cross the strait and land on Borneo. ”

What the?

Zhang Jiayu stood up.
