After more than 20 days of marching, the left wing army of Jinlan finally passed through Zhuyang Shenshan (note: also known as Yang Xin Mountain) and arrived at the so-called 6 Zhenla area northeast of Zhenla near the direction of Laos. Because the roads traveled by the army have always been only occasionally crossed by a few border people who herd cattle and sheep, the narrow and difficult roads, as well as the grasshoppers, snakes, and mosquitoes encountered along the way, made the Japanese ronin regiment and Taixi mercenary group, which were not adapted to the climate of Southeast Asia at all, lose nearly 300 men and horses before the war began.

More than half of these lost men and horses died, and the rest were on the verge of death. As a last resort, Xia Jun can only use his precious transportation capacity to evacuate him, as for whether he can escape death after evacuation, in the final analysis, it depends on their respective physiques.

Speaking of which, the loss of only 300 people is not a tragic one, and this is also thanks to the three water purification devices that Xia Jun opened early in the morning, otherwise if you directly drink the various water bodies marked by microorganisms along the way, it is estimated that before you get out of the mountains, most of the Japanese ronin and Taixi mercenaries will be lost due to diarrhea.

Passing through Zhuyangshen Mountain is known as the West Plains Highland of the Conna (Bang Mei Shu) area, because of the reason that the whip is out of reach, the Zhenla royal court of the past dynasties did not control this area strictly, and all kinds of Tusi and Tu people are the real masters of the West Plains area. However, the strength of these Tusi and Tusi is not strong, and there are many dirty things with each other because of their territory, so in the face of a huge army that they have never seen before, a few Tusi chose to hide in the interior, and some Tusi fled to the provinces of Mondo, Kiri, Sen, and Monolong in Chenla, while the rest respectfully sent envoys to those who came.

In view of the fact that the strength of the Jinlan Metropolitan Protectorate was not enough to control this area, the Recorder of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Jinran, who accompanied the Left Wing Army, accepted these Tusi one by one according to his own authority, and awarded them hereditary local officials such as Tuzhi County and Tuzhizhai with his promise in the future.

The natives and Tusi in the Xiyuan region asked for nothing more than these, and when they received the clear promise of the Chinese side, they rejoiced one by one, not only sending cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and rice supplies, but also sending people to lead the way for the Jinlan Left Wing Army. Therefore, after resting in Xiyuan for nearly ten days, the Xia army quickly advanced to the Dadan, Dare, and Natun areas of Kiri Province in just five days.

Of course, at this time, the magnates in the northeast region of Chenla had already received an alert from the Tusi who fled west.

The resurgence of the great enemy forced the princes and lords of the northeastern region of Chenla, who had forced the Xia army back last year, to recruit a large army and grain again before they could recover their vitality, intending to block the Xia army on the spot in Monolong Province. However, at the instigation of the monks sent by the Jinlan Protectorate, the people of Zhenla, who were unwilling to be robbed of their food and become cannon fodder themselves, fled one after another to avoid military service, hard labor, and military defeat, so instead of succeeding, the recruitment of the magnates led to internal chaos.

In the face of the situation that the people fled every day, although some princes and lords sent people to close the roads and arrest the displaced people, but more of them were slow to react because they were indulging in the glory of the past and thought that the people would not resist.

"Avondo," said a grim-faced nobleman in the city of Monolon, trying to persuade a young general. "Do you think that with the five thousand people gathered now, you can resist the attack of the Xia people?"

The military general pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Apingluo, do you mean to learn from Anun's family and flee to the west of the Mekong River?" ”

"If I hadn't come to Monolon, maybe you and I would have had a chance to escape to the west of the Mekong, but now." The nobleman known as Apingro shook his head. "It's too late. Besides, you and I are not as good as Anunyi, he fled to the west of the Mekong River, and he may be able to rise again by relying on the power of his relatives, but who will take a fancy to you and me? Even if you can take away some belongings, sooner or later you will run out of them, and it is more likely to be treated as good prey by the wealthy families in Hexi. ”

"And what do you mean?" The generals were taken aback. "You want to take refuge in Xia now." The frightened general subconsciously lowered his voice. "Apingro, are you crazy? Don't say that we killed so many Xia people last time, let's just say that the decrees issued by the Xia people now, which one of them is not to cut off the roots of you and me, no, this is absolutely impossible. ”

"No, I'm not crazy." Apingro replied calmly. "Although the Xia people want to cut off the roots of you and me, they promise to keep your and my territory as long as they are willing to take refuge in the past, of course, it can't be called a territory in the future, it can only be said to be a manor??????

Hearing this, the military general Aondo interrupted with a sneer: "What's the use of just the land, without slaves, who will farm for us, do you want your wife and children to carry the water by themselves?" ”

"You and I can sublease the land to the slaves," Apingro replied earnestly. "Although the income may be a little less, at least there will not be a scene where you and I become servants of others after being exiled to Hexi. As for the servants in the family, there must be no shortage of Xia people's powerful families, so how they deal with this matter, we can also follow suit. ”

"You have a point, but it's too late." The generals clearly did not want to continue the topic. "The Xia people will drive to Monolong in a few days, and the war is about to start, so there is no reason to take refuge in the enemy now. What's more, we may not necessarily lose, and if we lose, we can also use the old method to drag down the Xia people. ”

"Avondo, don't lie to yourself anymore, it's different from last year, not to mention that the barbarians in Xiyuan will lead the way for the Xia people, even those slaves may also rebel." Apingro pleaded sincerely. "You and my mother are sisters, you and I are like brothers, I don't want you to die in a battle that you must lose, and I don't want you and my family to be completely wiped out, so please be sure to listen to my advice."

Ah Pingluo said sincerely, Ah Wendo had to be moved, but he was still worried: "I'm afraid I won't have time to contact Xia Ren." ”

A smile finally appeared on Apingluo's face: "Don't worry, as long as you listen to me??????"

On December 27, the fourth year of Wucheng, just before the Lunar New Year, the Battle of Monolon began. The Xia army of 5,000 men carried four two-inch field guns to meet the Zhenla noble coalition army of 4,200 people and 25 war elephants. The strength of the Zhenla army is not as good as the Xia army, the firepower is not as good as the Xia army, and there are internal ghosts to connect the Xia army, as a result, after the first battle, the whole army was destroyed, except for a few nobles who successfully escaped, the rest either died on the battlefield or became the prisoners of the Xia army.

On the 11th day of the first month of the fifth year of Vu Cheng, the right wing army of Cam Ranh on the southern front recaptured Prey Veng Province. After purging the power of the Chenla magnates in the province, he continued to advance northward, and then captured the city of Dongli Be, which was across the river from Kampong Cham, the capital of Kampong Cham Province, on the 19th, and completely controlled the eastern Kampong Cham province, so far, the situation in the east of the Mekong River has been completely controlled by the Xia army.

At this time, one of the lords of the Bizhila region of Kiri Province, the Hidden Nong Ayang, not only cut off the passage of aid from the provinces of Shangding and Ratana, but also announced that South Kiri Province, like Monolong Province and Sen Province, had completely fallen into the hands of the Xia army.

Subsequently, the left wing army entered Mondo Province westward, and the right wing army entered Kratie Province northward, and the two armies met under the city of Chi Lun on the seventh day of February of the same year, and the main goal of the Grand Protectorate of Cam Ranh had been largely achieved, leaving only a few areas such as the northeastern part of Kratie Province, the northern part of Mondo Province, the eastern part of Stung Treng Province, and Ratana Province still under the control of the Chenla magnates.

In the face of the surging Xia army, the princes and lords of Chenla in the northeast began to panic completely, but the attempts of these magnates to escape the Mekong River were quickly failed - the new king of Chenla, Thommo Reachea II, sent troops to blockade the Mekong River at the mercy of Zheta IV, and all the northeastern magnates who fled west were arrested and imprisoned and reduced to slavery for disobeying the king's orders. In this case, in addition to continuing to fight with the Xia army to the end, the magnates in the northeast of Zhenla have only one choice left to take the initiative to take refuge in the Jinlan Dadu Protectorate.

It is difficult to die for eternity, especially for the most hedonistic creatures like the powerful. In the case of defeat in the battle and inability to escape, the princes and lords in various places could not care about their future losses, and rushed to the camp of the Xia army one by one to beg for surrender, and the Xia army did not refuse, so February did not pass, and even the provinces of Dongshangding and Ratana north of the Srebo River were still struggling to support.

On the first day of the third month of the fifth year of Wucheng, the commander of the Jinlan army, Tian, ordered the Zhenla nobles who had surrendered to attack those who had not surrendered with private soldiers.

On March 27, when the last of the Chenla magnates who insisted on not surrendering were killed in the hands of their former allies, the fighting in the area east of the Mekong River finally calmed down, and the large and small Chenla magnates who survived began to suffer from gains and losses and waited for their final fate.

On April 11, the inending resignation of Jinlan Dadu Gu Tongshan received an order from the Huaxia Imperial Court, announcing that the first to surrender Apingluo, Aondo, and Yinong A were granted the status of internal vassals, and the remaining princes and lords handed over all their territories and slaves and then granted estates of different sizes according to the order of their surrenders??????

The orders of the Chinese court unsurprisingly caused some fluctuations, but only those who were not sober would revolt at this time, so the orders were finally carried out perfectly. Subsequently, Wang Jinzhong and Zhou Yunlong were stationed in Zhenla in Northeast China, and the Huang clan of Meilan, the Chen clan of Meidi, and the Li clan of Dingxiang were also renamed to the East Chenla area, of course, the territory must have increased, and some of the disabled Japanese ronin, Taixi mercenaries, and Vietnamese soldiers also received corresponding rewards, so that the area east of the Mekong River was firmly in the hands of Huaxia - on the eighth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Huaxia, the Chinese imperial court officially changed the capital of Cam Ranh to Cam Ranh Province??????

There is also an aftermath of the battle of Dong Chenla, that is, the blockade of the Mekong River by Thommo Reachea II (Thommo Reachea II) and the arrest of the Dong Chenla magnates were publicized by some people, and the magnates from all over Chenla felt the same and condemned one after another. In view of this, Zheta IV took advantage of the situation to pull him off the horse and re-enter the stage himself, staging a good show of blaming others.
