Chapter 354: Yunhaiguan Lower Two

After Zhu Houhuang made up his mind. Immediately asked: "How much money do we have?" ”

"Your Highness, only the 130,000 taels collected from the Twin Cities. Most of the rest was left behind. Ruan Runchen said.

Zhu Houhuang accepted a large territory, well, it is not a large territory, and it is only a place in the Central Plains, and the population is sparse, not as good as the big cities in the Central Plains. However, there is an advantage to this area, which is that it is a mature land that has been developed, and there is no need to wait a few years for taxes to be collected.

So this place is very important to Zhu Houhuang. And to accept Annan's surrender, he had to provide baggage for the army, and he also had to settle the sporadic rebellions in various places, so the task here was quite important, so Zhu Houhuang left Wang Yangming to deal with it later.

And Ruan Runchen followed Zhu Houhuang to deal with some chores with the army.

As for why you didn't take Wang Yangming with you and let Ruan Runchen behind? It's very simple, Zhu Houhuang doesn't believe Ruan Runchen. After all, this area was persuaded by Ruan Runchen. Ruan Runchen has a deep foundation here, and if he is allowed to take care of things, if he makes trouble, Zhu Houhuang will suddenly enter a situation where he cannot advance or retreat.

"130,000 taels." Zhu Houhuang said secretly.

In fact, if Zhu Houhuang scrapes the ground desperately, he can still scrape out oil and water in this area, but Zhu Houhuang has already regarded this area as his ruling area. How can you be willing to do the work of fishing with all your might.

"That's enough." Zhu Houhuang said. He said to Ruan Runchen: "Today's reward for the three armies, the wine and meat are enough." ”

Ruan Runchen frowned when he heard this, and said: "Your Highness, the amount of wine and meat in our army is not much, and it is too late to transport it from behind. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "If you don't have it, there will be no more, anyway, many people won't have to eat in the future." ”

Ruan Runchen didn't understand what Zhu Houhuang meant, but he didn't dare to go against Zhu Houhuang's meaning, so he immediately went down to do it.

For a whole day, Zhu Houhuang was arranging the problem of the camp, and he followed the mountain and camped for several miles before he settled 50,000 or 60,000 people.

In the evening, Zhu Houhuang feasted the king of Zhancheng.

Zhu Houhuang said: "King, when I saw Haiyun Pass today, it was really Tiannan Dangerous Pass, and it was not easy to overcome. It's just that Haiyun is not overcome, and once the lonely army leaves in the future, how can the king maintain it? ”

King Zhancheng has three glasses of wine, and coupled with the recent spring breeze, it is inevitable that he will be a little drunk. But as soon as he heard that Zhu Houhuang had the intention of leaving, he was already a little drunk, and immediately sobered up. He said, "Your Highness, can't you go?" If His Highness leaves, I will definitely be bullied by Annan again. ”

Zhu Houhuang sighed and said: "Why don't you want to start and finish well, but this Haiyun Pass is really difficult to capture?" There's no way to be lonely, huh? ”

King Zhancheng's originally somewhat numb spirit turned little by little, and he also found that Zhu Houhuang had something to say, and asked, "Your Highness, is there any way to capture Haiyun Pass?" Although he said, if he wants Xiao Wang to help, just ask. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Okay, it's just that Haiyun Pass is so strong, there is only one way to attack it." And if it is attacked, there will be heavy casualties, Lone first to the king to say a thing or two, if the king sees a good thing to accept, Lone does not care, Lone will withdraw now, and even Haiyun Guannan can be transferred to the king. ”

The King of Champa immediately changed color and said, "Why did Your Highness say this? How could Xiao Wang be a perfidious stream, saying that if you work together to attack Haiyun Pass, you must take it down, what does His Royal Highness need, even if he says it, how many casualties there are, Xiao Wang admits it. ”

The king of Champa is not a fool, the reason why he does not hesitate to suffer casualties is that he has no confidence that his army can defeat Annan's army at all, if Zhu Houhuang withdraws, he is very sure that in a few years, when Annan recovers, all the territory he has won today will be lost, so he will pull a shield in front at all costs.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lonely bad words are in front, under Yunhaiguan, there will probably be nearly half of the casualties. If the king can hold on, he will hold on to the end, and if he can't hold it out, he will withdraw now, otherwise he will withdraw his army halfway through the battle, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

King Zhancheng laughed and said, "Even if all the Zhancheng troops are buried under Yunhaiguan, Xiao Wang will not give up." ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't understand the thinking of the king of Zhancheng at all, just as the king of Zhancheng didn't quite understand Zhu Houhuang's thinking.

Zhu Houhuang came from later generations, and respecting every life in his heart has long been a concept that has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, but this is not the case with King Zhancheng.

Champa is not so much a Buddhist country as a Hindu country, and if you look at the attitude of the upper echelons of India towards the lower level of India, you can figure out what attitude the king of Champa had towards the soldiers of the Champa city.

In the eyes of the king of Champa, the lives of the soldiers were not lives at all, but bargaining chips. As long as the price is right, even if you throw it all in, what's the matter?

Zhu Houhuang saw that the king of Champa agreed, although he didn't understand what the king of Champa meant. But I don't have time to think about what it means to be the king of Champa.

Since he agreed, Zhu Houhuang decided to send the Zhancheng army to die.

The first thing to give them is the severed head meal.

Under the auspices of Nguyen Runchen, Zhu Houhuang swept away the army's reserves of alcohol and meat and prepared a sumptuous dinner for the whole army.

The whole army was overjoyed, but many in the Biyong army were worried.

Compared with the Cham army, which had no experience in fighting at all, there were no people in the Yong army who understood. And he saw that there was wine and meat, and there was a fortified city in front of him. How can they not know what they are up against?

But no matter how worried you are, you can only desperately eat meat and drink. Because they don't know if they'll survive tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the drums were beaten.

After Zhu Houhuang made up his mind. Immediately asked: "How much money do we have?" ”

"Your Highness, only the 130,000 taels collected from the Twin Cities. Most of the rest was left behind. Ruan Runchen said.
