How lazy are the tribes of Indochina? The royal city changed hands, the lord of the kingdom was killed, and almost all the tribes were at a loss.

It was not until the messenger sent by Li Xixing declared that his rebellion had succeeded and informed them to go to the royal city for a meeting that he knew what had happened.

Then, the small and medium-sized tribes did not have any opinion and sent a team of representatives to the royal city with gifts. It doesn't matter who is king, it doesn't matter to them.

If you are powerful and your rebellion is successful, we will respect you as the master, and then everyone should do whatever they want.

The big tribes that rank in the forefront of strength are different, how old are you in the Anshan Division? Do you want to be the lord of the country, with our permission?

Then they also sent men to the royal city, but they sent not only messengers but also troops.

Li Xixing also knew that it would be difficult to secure the throne without subduing these people, but he really didn't have the confidence to defeat several other big tribes.

So I asked for Chang Zhu here.

"Brother Chang, the Fan clan, the mixed clan and other tribes have sent large armies over, and several coalition troops have more than 10,000 people, you must be a brother."

Chang Zhu said: "There is a way, there is a Tang Navy division in the open sea, and you can come from the Lancang River to Wangcheng at any time." ”

(The royal city of Funan is about a short distance from Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on the banks of the Mekong River.) ）

Li Xixing said happily: "Then what are you hesitating about, hurry up and invite Master Wang over, I want to entertain them well." ”

Chang Zhu said solemnly: "You have to think about the consequences, once the Tang Army comes, you will be completely bound to us." ”

"And you became the lord of the country with the help of the power of my Tang Kingdom, and they must be dissatisfied in their hearts. Once we withdraw our troops and leave, they will inevitably have other thoughts. ”

Li Xixing fell into deep thought.

Chang Zhu said sincerely: "Now that my Tang Kingdom is not deeply involved, if you can resolve the forced palace of the alliance forces this time, you can really sit in this position." ”

"Although the Fan clan and the mixed clan are menacing, the various tribes have ghosts in their hearts, and there is a great chance that you will resolve them together."

Li Xi subconsciously wanted to nod, but before his head moved, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Hurriedly said: "Brother Chang, where did you say, I said that I would be loyal to the Tang Kingdom, and this time is the best time to announce this news to the various departments of the Funan Kingdom." ”

"I believe that after this time, the entire Funan Kingdom will know that our allegiance is no longer to the Jin State, but to the Tang State."

Chang Zhu said solemnly: "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”

Li Xixing's face was firm: "This heart can be learned." ”

Chang Zhu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll notify the sailor to come over and deter the ministry." ”

Then he said: "But if you want to really gain a foothold, it is not enough to rely on our support alone, you must win over all departments." ”

Li Xi said: "I don't know what Brother Chang has?" ”

Chang Zhu said: "On the day of the alliance, you can make an alliance with the ministries, and the ministries must not attack each other......"

"In particular, you must restrain the majority from insulting the small tribes, and if anyone violates, you, as the lord of the country, have the right to gather all the tribes to fight against him."

"I'm sure this move will win you the support of most of the small and medium-sized tribes."

"Then we will take the tribes that are close to us and move to the fertile land near the royal city, and let them defend the royal city. These small tribes will surely be happy and support you even more. ”

Li Xi couldn't help but nod his head, he had already realized the benefits of the coalition forces. And he thought more, he could use this opportunity to annex these small tribes.

Chang Zhu continued: "My king is merciful, if you ask for support on the table, then I will intercede for you. ”

"There is a high probability that you can ask for a certain amount of farm tools, and you will even be sent to teach you how to plant."

"With these farming tools and farming masters, you can cultivate more arable land and produce more food."

It's a pity that Li Xixing is not very interested in this.

Again, this place is so blessed, the seeds can be sown in the ground and can have a harvest of 180 catties, and there are three crops a year, and they have no motivation to improve the production method.

But Chang Zhu has a way to tempt him.

"With more grain, you can exchange more silk, porcelain, glass, salt, sugar, wine, and so on."

Sure enough, when he heard these luxuries, Li Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Okay, I'll send a request for assistance to the king right away." ”

Chang Zhu told him a few good ways to attract people out of the mountains and come to the plains to farm. For example, taxes should be regulated, and the wealth of small tribes should not be plundered at will.

There are luxury goods as a temptation, and Li Xixing agrees. As for whether it can be implemented later, we will talk about it then.

Anyway, now Li Xixing has agreed to it all, and with the assistance of Chang Zhu, he quickly drew up a complete set of agreements, and waited for the alliance to come up on the same day.

Half a month later, the representatives of the various ministries arrived in the royal city one after another, and were placed in the outer city by Li Xixing. The burned wooden wall has been repaired, and there are almost no signs of war.

The big guy was always late, and he waited until the twentieth day for the big tribes such as the Fan clan and the mixed clan to come outside the city, as if they had made an appointment.

Naturally, Li Xixing would not let their army enter the city, telling them that the messenger could come in and the army withdraw.

These tribes were originally here to make trouble, how could they agree, they shouted outside the city, and there was a posture of attacking the city if they didn't agree.

The envoys of all tribes hid in the excitement, waiting to see how Li Xixing would end.

Then they saw a huge fleet sail out of the Lancang River to the section of the river outside the royal city, and another cavalry armed to the teeth came out of the city.

The warships and cavalry played all the blood-colored Tang flags.

Everyone finally understood why the Ansan tribe dared to rebel and how it relied to complete the rebellion in just a few days.

It turned out that there was the support of the Tang State.

The Fan, Mixed and other tribes did not dare to be arrogant in front of the Tang army, and they fled as if they had withdrawn the troops they brought.

When the envoys of the various tribes arrived, the alliance was opened.

Chang Zhu, as the representative of the Tang Kingdom, sat beside Li Xixing.

The Fan Clan, the Mixed Clan and other tribes were not willing to fail like this, and the Huimeng began to question: "Now my lord of Funan is Li Xixing of the Tang State or the Anshan Department?" ”

Li Xi woke up and said, "I invited the Tang Army to send troops to help me, do you have any opinions?" ”

Chi Guovarman, the envoy of the Chen Rubu Department, said: "I have always respected the Jin Kingdom in Funan, and now you hook ...... If you take refuge in the Tang State and kill Zhu Zhantan, you are not afraid that the Jin State will blame you? ”

Li Xixing laughed and said, "I'll show you something...... Bring people up. ”

The latter sentence was addressed outside the door, and in a short time two people were escorted in. One is the son of Zhu Zhantan, and the other is unknown to everyone.

"Tell the messengers everything you know, that is, the tribute will be returned."
