The Polomora Kingdom, the Zhaohan Kingdom, and the Solanki Kingdom were wiped out by the Western Qin army in just a few months, which greatly stimulated the Sixteen Kingdoms of Southern Tianzhu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xuanzang is a relatively large and powerful kingdom in the land area of South Tianzhu, Tang Xuanzang described it in great detail in the "Tang Dynasty Western Regions", according to Xuanzang's description, at that time, the land area of the Qianlinga country was 5,000 miles, the population was not much, this land area in South India can only be regarded as a medium kingdom, but now there are 60,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, hundreds of war elephants. More than 100 years have passed since Master Xuanzang, and the situation in South India has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and many Indian kingdoms recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" no longer exist, either annexed by neighboring countries, or changed their names internally.

Today's Kalinga is already a big country in South India, its land area is definitely more than 5,000 miles, according to the intelligence collected by the Western Qin Army, the Kalinga Kingdom now ranks second in terms of land area and military strength among all South Indian countries, the first is the Rashidra Kingdom, it is in the southwest of the Kalinga Kingdom, the main army of the Western Qin Army led by Zhao Ziliang is not far from its border, which makes the kings and subjects of the Rashidra Rajata Kingdom like a great enemy.

As the largest and most powerful kingdom in South India, the kingdoms of Rashdra and Kalinga began to seek ways to resist the advance of the Western Qin army after learning that the three kingdoms of Central India had been destroyed one after another.

The kings of the two countries believed that none of the many kingdoms on the ground in South India could resist the Western Qin army alone, and the only way to resist the Western Qin army and drive the Western Qin army back was to concentrate the forces of all the countries in South India to confront the Western Qin army in order to have any hope of victory.

The kings of Rashidharakuda and Karinga quickly sent envoys to each other to discuss countermeasures, and the two countries soon reached an agreement and decided to form a federation of South Indian kingdoms, each sending envoys to the south Indian kingdom further south to persuade other kingdoms to join them in resisting the invasion of the Western Qin army.

At the same time, the kingdoms of Rashidharakeda and Karinga began to shrink their forces, carried out a policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, deployed a large number of troops in the precipitous passes, migrated the people outside the passes to the city, burned everything that could be burned, and took everything that could be taken away, and they even poisoned the well water.

The Western Qin Army is in trouble now!

On the second day of August, Brehan sent people to report the military situation to Zhao Ziliang.

"King Qiyu, our army met with stubborn resistance in the battle against the kingdom of Kalinga, which carried out the clearing of the walls and fields, and drained all the forces of some small cities or cities with weak city walls, and they abandoned many cities that were easy to attack and difficult to defend, and moved all the people of these places, and then deployed these forces in the easy and difficult places to defend or the more dangerous passes and fortresses where our offensive route must pass, and they forced the people to strengthen the defenses of the city for them, build arrows, and cut down the rolling wood for defending the city. They even carved stones to carry them up the walls, and they even poisoned the ditches and wells or discarded the carcasses of rotting animals, because of which our army suffered some casualties, and now our offensive has stopped! ”

After listening to this, Zhao Ziliang looked at the ministers and generals in the main hall and asked, "What do the Qing family think of this matter?" ”

Du Fu stood up and arched his hand: "King, this matter is indeed extremely tricky, after they implemented the measures of clearing the wilderness, our army's way to obtain food supplies nearby was cut off, and we could only transport grain and grass from farther away, which will undoubtedly slow down our army's offensive speed!" At the same time, they moved the people outside the city, and we couldn't recruit more servants nearby for siege warfare! And their poisoning of ditches and wells would cause us to lose most of our water supply, which is deadly! Wechen believes that we should find a way to overcome these difficulties! ”

Secretary and supervisor Langzhong Li Boyu stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King, Weichen thinks that we should guard against the Southern Tianzhu countries sending fine work deep into the rear occupation area of our army to agitate and rebel against those Tianzhu people who do not submit to our rule to resist and riot, only when the order of the rear occupation area of our army is stable and the grain route is safe, we can continue to recruit more servant troops, so that we can continue to get supplies, once the rear is chaotic, our army can not get supplies, not only will it lose the spirit of attack, but also may have to withdraw its troops."

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "What the two Qing families said is the key point, and we must quickly find a way!" I wonder what you have to do? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xuan Eighteen, the governor of Xichang, walked in quickly and saluted and reported: "King Qiqi, according to the news obtained by our spies, the kingdom of Rashidra and the kingdom of Kalinga have decided to unite to form an alliance to jointly resist the attack of our army, and they have sent a number of envoys to the countries further south, wanting to persuade the southern countries to join their alliance and resist our army together!" ”

Gao Shang immediately stood up and arched his hand: "Great King, if we let the sixteen countries of Nantianzhu unite, then the difficulties we face will increase tenfold, which is extremely unfavorable for us to conquer Nantianzhu, we must find a way to sabotage them to form an alliance!" ”

Dugu Wenshu stood up and hugged his fists and said, "King, Weichen has a little suggestion for destroying their alliance!" ”

"Speak quickly!"

Dugu asked: "Since they can unite with the people, why can't we join the others?" There are sixteen large and small kingdoms in Nantianzhu, and Weichen really doesn't believe that each of these kingdoms is determined to fight against us, before they have completed the alliance, we can also send envoys to meet the kings of those small countries, persuade them to form an alliance with us, and jointly deal with other United States, and promise to give them land and benefits after defeating other United States, Wechen believes that there should still be people who are willing to take the bait, aren't they worried about being destroyed by us, don't they want to expand the land area to obtain greater benefits? ”

Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed when he heard this, slapped the table and said: "Okay, Lord Dugu is very good, this king has decided to adopt this suggestion, and Lord Dugu will be responsible for this matter, this king will fully support you, if there is any progress and news, please report to this king at any time!" Xuan Eighteen, you have the right to support Lord Dugu in the newspaper! In addition, just now Li Boyu said that it is necessary to prevent the Southern Tianzhu countries from sending Xi Zuo deep into the rear occupied areas of our army to agitate or rebel against those Tianzhu people to rebel against our rule and threaten our supply lines, this matter is the responsibility of your Xichang, this king transferred Li Boyu to assist you, mainly responsible for this matter! ”

Xuan 18 and Li Boyu both stood up and bowed and agreed: "Obey the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The enemy's strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, deploying heavy troops to defend steep passes and fortifying cities has indeed greatly hindered our attack, and we have no way to stop them, so we can only try to overcome the trouble they have brought us by adopting this strategy." Our army has long stipulated that raw water cannot be drunk during marching and fighting, but this rule has not been thoroughly enforced, and often many times when people are thirsty, they immediately rush over to drink raw water when they see a ditch or a river or well! This is not possible, such as today the Zhu people have been poisoned everywhere on the route of our Jin army, abandoning animal carcasses to pollute the water source, we must always be careful to pass on the will of the king, from today onwards, no one in the army is allowed to drink raw water, even if you are thirsty, you must check whether it is poisonous, if it is not poisonous, you must boil the raw water before you can quote it, tell the soldiers, for the sake of their own lives, or strictly require the implementation of this order! ”

"In addition, the order goes down that if all the food, horses, weapons and armor captured after the capture of the city in the future will not be used as personal trophies of the soldiers, they must all be handed over!"

"Yes!"

Rashidharakuda country, the national capital, Changda City.

The envoys of the sixteen kingdoms of Southern Tianzhu were invited to attend the feast held by their king Kshatriya, and the purpose of the king Kshatriya was not only to entertain the envoys of these kingdoms, but also to discuss with the envoys of these kingdoms to form an alliance to resist the invasion of the Western Qin army.

Previously, the king of the Rashidra Kshatriya had sent many envoys to the southern countries to lobby, wanting to persuade these kingdoms to join the alliance and jointly send troops to resist the Western Qin army, some countries have begun to move, and some countries have not yet expressed, but this time Suvaha sent an invitation, and the envoys sent by these kingdoms on the one hand want to see what rights and obligations are after the alliance, and on the other hand, they want to see how sharp the Western Qin army is, after all, the Rashidra Rakuda country is the closest to the Western Qin army. Here you can collect relevant information about the Western Qin army.

The king set up a feast in the palace and invited the envoys of various countries to the palace to participate, and the envoys came to the palace one after another, and were warmly received by the king, and there were also envoys who came here in the past, but they had never been treated so courteously as this time, so it can be seen that this time the country of Rashidra was under great threat, otherwise the king would not have come to the gate of the palace to greet the envoys of various countries.

After the banquet began, Su Po sat on the throne and frequently toasted to the envoys, and in the middle of the main hall, a group of court beauties listened to the accompaniment of musical instruments and danced.

Halfway through the banquet, the envoy of the Chola Kingdom asked: "Your Majesty, how sharp is the front of the Western Qin army, so that His Majesty the King wants to send envoys to persuade all countries to send troops to resist the Western Qin army?" ”

Su Po said: "You must be no stranger to the Western Qin, the Western Qin is now the largest trading country in the north, merchants from all over the world have gone to trade, the Western Qin is not only good at business, but also its people are warlike, especially the king of the Western Qin is particularly warlike, I Tianzhu The northern countries are all wiped out in only one year, if they are allowed to continue to invade the south, I am afraid that the kingdom of all of you here will also be conquered by it one after another, and we will all become slaves!" ”
