In the second year of Xuande, at noon on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, more than a dozen cavalrymen wearing the uniforms of the Jiaozhi rebels drove into Fengmu Town in the north of Anliang County.

Because Li Li led the rebels to besiege the county seat of Anliang, Fengmu Town was already under the control of the rebels, and the town was full of rebel soldiers.

The rebel cavalry stopped in front of one of the largest restaurants in town, handed over their horses to the shopkeeper who was standing at the door to greet customers, and then stepped up to the second floor, asking for two private rooms opposite the door, and ordering a table of food each.

"Lord Mu, here is the distance from the rebels...... The rebel camp is only ten miles, and you can reach the rebel camp in half an hour after eating. After the shopkeeper served the food and left, a middle-aged rebel cavalryman said to a burly young rebel cavalryman sitting next to him, looking a little nervous.

"Brother Cai, this official went to see Li Li this time to discuss official business, if this matter is done, you will make a great contribution to Li Li." Seeing this, the burly young rebel cavalry picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for the middle-aged rebel cavalryman, and said with a smile.

"The adult's words are serious, the villain now only wants to make a contribution and save the lives of his family, how dare he commit himself to those traitors again." The middle-aged rebel cavalryman's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look, and he said with a smile.

"Come, this official toasts you, and at the same time wishes us success and completes the things assigned by the chief soldier." The burly young rebel cavalry smiled when he saw this, poured a glass of wine into the wine glass in front of him, and raised the wine glass to the middle-aged rebel cavalry.

"Thank you, sir." The middle-aged rebel cavalry hurriedly picked up the wine glass, bowed down and touched a glass with Li Yuntian, and then the two of them drank it all.

This burly young rebel cavalry was none other than Li Yuntian, the Dingnan general of the Ming Dynasty, who went to the rebel camp to find Li Li this time naturally to negotiate.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess the identity of this middle-aged rebel cavalryman who was submissive in front of Li Yuntian is Cai Fu, who was captured by the Ming army in the Fallen Leaf Slope.

Sitting at the same table with Li Yuntian and Cai Fu were three people dressed in rebel cavalry uniforms, who were local soldiers selected by Li Yuntian from the guards in Sanjiang City, a total of twelve.

Since these twelve local soldiers spoke all Jiaozhi dialect, they did not encounter any trouble along the way, and the rebel soldiers they met along the way did not expect that this group of cavalry blatantly marching on the main road would be disguised by the Ming army.

What is particularly important is that these twelve local people do not know the identity of Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian's current name is "Mu Zi", that is, the homonym of "wood" and "son" after the word "Li" is disassembled, and the position is a major staff officer of the Xiaowu Army, if it corresponds to the military title of the Ming Army, it is a thousand households.

Cai Fu didn't have the slightest suspicion of Li Yuntian's identity, he couldn't imagine that the person sitting next to him was the Dingnan General of the Ming Dynasty, and now he was thinking about how to explain this matter to Li Li.

Although they had already penetrated into the territory of the rebels, the atmosphere at the table was very relaxed, Li Yuntian and Cai Fu chatted while eating, calmly and calmly, without the slightest nervousness.

The expressions of Cai Fu and the other three native pawns were a little unnatural, especially the three native pawns, who listened to the movement outside with their ears pricked up when they were eating, and were very vigilant.

After eating and drinking, Li Yuntian was about to get up and leave, when suddenly there was a commotion in the corridor, as if someone was arguing outside.

Although Li Yuntian has been learning Jiaozhi in private for the past few years, because the voice outside is too noisy, he can't hear what he said for a while, but judging from the tone, it seems that both sides of the quarrel are very excited, the volume of the quarrel is getting louder and louder, and the love is getting more and more excited.

Li Yuntian was in charge of important affairs this time, and in order to avoid trouble, he decided to wait and see what happened, and waited for the outside affairs to be over, so he poured a cup of hot water and drank it there slowly.

Before Li Yuntian could take a few sips of hot water, there was a crackling sound in the corridor, and the two sides of the quarrel seemed to be fighting.

Seeing this, the three local soldiers sitting at the wine table hurriedly got up and walked to the door, listening carefully to the changes in the situation outside, and their right hands involuntarily clenched on the hilt of their knives.

Before leaving Sanjiang City, these local soldiers had already received orders from their superiors to protect Li Yuntian and Cai Fu at any cost, so no one dared to slack off.

"Go and call someone and arrest these spies who occupy the city." Soon after, a man's angry voice came from the hallway.

Li Yuntian heard it clearly, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise, he never expected to meet the Cham people in this place: now that the Ming army is fighting with the rebels in Sanjiang Mansion, those Cham people don't seem to have any reason to venture here.

The reason why the Champa people took the risk is that the predecessor of Jiaozhi, the Annam Kingdom and the Champa Kingdom, can be described as a pair of feuds, and the two sides have been fighting for the control of the western part of the Indochina Peninsula for hundreds of years.

Champa City, that is, Champa Buluo, is located in the southeast of the Indochina Peninsula, starting from Hengshan Pass in the south of Cochin in the north, and reaching the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula in the south, with fertile rice fields and a broad coastline, and the royal capital is Indra Buluo.

Ancient Chinese texts call Champa as Xianglinyi, or Linyi for short, which was deeply influenced by the Tianzhu culture, using the Southern Tianzhu script, and was introduced from India to Brahmanism and Buddhism, worshipping gods such as Shiva and Vishnu.

The Champa country produces ivory, rhino horn, ebony and other rare and exotic objects, which is the key point of the sea route connecting Southeast Asia and West Asia, and is the maritime trade transit station between the Ming Dynasty and Tianzhu and the Nanyang countries, from which it has made great profits.

As two important countries on the Indochina Peninsula, Annan and Champa have embarked on two different civilizations since the founding of the country, and the sinicization of Annan and the Tianzhu of Champa are very eye-catching, which makes the two sides have been fighting to the death for a long time to destroy each other.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the conflict between Annam and the Champa states became more and more intense.

In the twentieth year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in 136 years, the Champa Kingdom entered the reign of the greatest king in history, the Peng'e system, which was called the A'a by the Ming Dynasty, and launched a series of attacks on Annam at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty:

In 1365, he entered Kouhua Prefecture, set up an ambush in 1368, and attacked Da'an in 1371.

At this time, Annan was fighting fiercely for the throne at home, the political situation was turbulent, and he was powerless to resist.

In 1378, the system Peng'e captured Jiaozhou City, the king of Annam, Chen Riwei, avoided the sky and built the mountain, Chen Riwei's younger brother surrendered to Zhancheng, and the monks also made trouble in the city, and the shape was chaotic.

Annan was already endangered before the fierce offensive of the city, and the people of Annan said: "To control the Peng'e people, they have learned lessons, gradually changed the old customs, are brave and hard-working, and the stories are people, and they are troubled for our country." ”

Annan was helpless to watch the offensive of Pun-E, but in 139 an incident gave Annan a chance to make a comeback, due to the informant general of the Champa rebel, the Pampong Moth was killed while exploring the waters of the Annan army in the waters near the Haichao River.

Chen Rikun, the king of Annam, was overjoyed when he heard the news: "If you die, the overall situation will be safe!"

After the death of Zai Peng'e, the 13th Dynasty of Champa fell, and his successor soon had to give up all the gains of his conquest.

In 142, under the command of Emperor Li Jichen, the Kingdom of Annam crusaded against Zhancheng, and the king of Zhancheng was defeated and sued for peace, promising to cede Zhandong and other places.

Annam also Soga Gulei a place, so that the Champa city state withdrew from Tan Binh, Hue, Champong, and Gulei, and the plastered and arable land in the north was included in the head of Annam, and the preserved people were only barren land in the mountains south of the broad sense.

Just when Li Jichen was trying to conquer the Champa State with all his might, in 147 the Yongle Emperor sent the British Gong Zhang Fu to lead an army to attack the Annan Kingdom, capturing Li Jichen's father and son, and the Annan Kingdom was destroyed, so the Champa State took the opportunity to send troops to regain part of the land lost in 142.

Of the countries in Indochina, the Champa state is the least desirable to see Le Le Le reinstate, and it is clear that Le Le will not only recover the land from them, but will also make more demands, and the two sides will continue the centuries-old feud.

Therefore, in Li Yuntian's view, the Cham people did not pay attention to the boundary of Sanjiang Mansion at this time: the two sides are feuding, and now there is a shortage of war, so it is impossible for those Cham people to come here to do business and visit relatives and friends, as for going to Daming by road, it is even more impossible, and the sea route from Cham to Daming is far easier than the land route.

"Do they want to go to Sanjiang City?" Suddenly, a thought couldn't help but appear in Li Yuntian's mind, and his eyes suddenly became even more surprised.

If this is the case, Li Yuntian can already guess the intention of these Zhancheng people to come here, and there is a good chance that they want to send troops to help the rebels of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the rebellion of Jiaozhi was regarded as the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, countries such as Champa and Zhenla around Jiaozhi could not interfere, and the Ming Dynasty had always regarded itself as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and naturally would not let vassal states such as Champa and Zhenlazy intervene in the war of Jiaozhi, otherwise how would the face of the Ming Dynasty exist?

Moreover, in the previous Jiaozhi rebellions, the Ming army successfully exterminated those rebels who rebelled, so the imperial court did not take the rebels of this rebellion into account at all, and countries such as Champa and Zhenla would not have thought that the Ming army would be defeated one after another.

Of course, the Champa State will not simply help the Ming Dynasty, but for its own interests, once Li Li wins, Jiaozhi will change back to Annan, then the Champa State will once again fall into the dispute with Annan, which is very unfavorable to the Champa State, it is better to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty to quell the rebellion to solve the rebels of Jiaozhi and eliminate the hidden dangers in the future.

With such an explanation, the purpose of those Zhancheng people coming here is very easy to understand, thinking about it, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he was still thinking about how to win over the rebels who were fighting with him from the north and south, and now it was good, the people of Zhancheng appeared in front of him, and it was really nowhere to find it, and it didn't take much effort to get it.

Unlike those civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian would not hold the frame of the Heavenly Empire, and in his opinion, how to destroy the enemy at the lowest cost was the most important.

Therefore, if the Champa people outside really came to discuss the matter of sending troops, he would definitely not refuse, and he would also find a way to pull Chenla into the gang, anyway, both Champa and Zhenla were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and they had the obligation to assist the Ming Dynasty to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi.!^!
