971 [Foreign Invasion]
When Weng Yingqi, Sun Kewang, and Lin Chengzong returned to Taiwu City with goods, grain, and the princess, it was already the season of summer rice harvesting.
Jayarahman, the Tamil prince of Kanmeh City, had already sent troops to rebel. But this thing did not dare to kill directly, but went to attack the northern villages and communities, and persecuted those brahmins and Kshatriyas
Cause trouble.
The village nobles who had already surrendered to Zhao Kuangbiao were somewhat reluctant to rebel. Bi Jing's newly arrived Han king does not interfere in the northern region, as long as he does not evade taxes too much.
They didn't bother to come over and collect it by force, and the nobles of the village community could embezzle more grain than before. Jen 2
This is a good king, and the nobles of the village community still support Zhao Kuangbiao very much.
In the face of Jayarahman's troops, the nobles everywhere had to withdraw. But the Shudras who worked on a short-term basis were very happy, they did not have a stable job and were temporarily conscripted into the army, though
No military pay, but at least some daily rations. VII 3]
In this way, Jaya Raman, the Tamil prince, pulled out tens of thousands of troops. Due to the alarming momentum, the prince of another city in the north also joined the rebellion with his troops.
A quarter of the country's territory, occupied by these guys, met with little resistance.
In the western state of Mysore, the king led 20,000 troops through the mountain pass and quickly occupied a quarter of the country in the west. These guys have good ideas, and the army crosses the line
The time coincides with the grain harvest season, and it is clear that they are coming to grab grain! Jen 3]
"Your Majesty, hurry up and send troops!" Peshra fell to her knees and cried. 2 2]
Peshla, the prince of the western border city, fled to Taiwu City, crying and begging Zhao Kuangbiao to send troops. Jen 1
Zhao Kuangbiao asked: "You said that after the army of Mysore occupied the city, in addition to plundering goods, it was to tear down the city wall?"
Peshra said: "Not only did they plunder the goods and tear down the walls, but they also took the wives and daughters of the nobles captive!"
Peshla, a prince and nobleman, originally did not plan to get involved, but only wanted to keep his own territory. The army of Mysore circled the city, waiting for Peshra to let his guard down and suddenly slay back
Lift the city. Peshra fled with more than a dozen noble knights, and his family was all captured.
Zhao Kuangbiao inquired in detail, and then let the man go down to rest.
Wang Chongxi speculated: "The Mysore army obviously did not want to expand its territory by doing this, and it was purely to come and plunder, otherwise it would not be possible to tear down the city wall in a hurry."
Marli looked at the map in front of him, this map was very simple, it was found in the palace of Tangor: "According to the local nobles, Mysore has been the land of Mysore for more than ten years
Expanded threefold. Today, the country is surrounded by mountains, and the whole country is a large basin. If they don't expand and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they are very safe. If followed
continued to expand, but it will fall into years of foreign wars. Unless the king of this country wants to destroy us and the kingdom of Madurai, he will not annex new territories. Jen 5]
Guan Xian said: "Then let them continue to rob, let's go to quell the civil strife first." Jen 1
"Yes, put an end to the civil strife first," Wang Chongxi said: "These people robbed and killed along the way, and demolished the city walls everywhere, and the nobles in the western region of our country will be forced to rebel even if they nest any more."
Resist. The more fiercely the Mysore army plundered, the more the local nobles became interested in the imperial court. And the rebel army in the north is kind to win over the nobles, and coerce the local nobles to join the rebels, that is our henchman
Trouble!"
Zhao Kuangbiao asked, "What do the three generals think?"
Weng Yingzhi said: "I agree with the two gentlemen that we should first calm the civil strife in the north and then deal with the foreign enemies in the West.
Sun Kewang had a different opinion: "Those rebellious nobles in the north are just a group of local chickens and dogs. They haven't fought for many years, and there aren't many elites, most of the soldiers
It is a farmer who is temporarily recruited. And after making trouble for so long, I didn't dare to go south, - straight to the scourge place. On the other hand, the army of Mysore in the west, this country, has expanded its territory for more than ten years
Three times, all veterans who have been on the battlefield. β
After thinking carefully, Weng Yingqi said: "That's right, the rebellion in the north can be easily resolved. At this time, you should deal with a strong enemy first. Wait until we defeat the strong enemy, North
Those rebellious nobles on the side, when they heard the news, they were afraid that they would have to fight among themselves.
When Wang Chongxi heard what the two generals said, he also began to understand according to this line of thought, adding: "You can send an envoy to contact the Mysore army and do a harm."
Scared look. Tell them that we must first quell the civil strife, and let them make a price and give as much gold and silver as they are willing to send troops.
"Wonderful!" Guan Xian said with a smile, "Knowing that we have to put down the civil strife first, and ask for peace with the reparations, the Mysore army will inevitably be even more arrogant." Unsuspecting, I
We have already killed them secretly, and we will definitely be able to attack them unprepared!" Dead 11
Marli added: "Along the way, they intimidated the local nobles, saying that the Mysore army was going to tear down the walls and rob the villages. Let the princes flee from the west,
If you go to speak in person, the nobles from all over the country will definitely join the army. When the local aristocratic army is slowly devoured, the attention of the Mysore army will also be on the aristocratic army. And Han
The human army will take a detour and go elsewhere to carry out surprise attacks in secret!" Jen 1
"Boom!"
Another earthen and stone wall has been stripped away, a large number of city residents have fled, and the city has been robbed of all holes.
More than 2,000 people in the city were taken into slavery to transport the looted goods to the rear. In the mountain passes on the border between the two countries, where there were more slaves, looting goods from all sides,
It is transported to the mouth of the valley and stacked in a centralized manner, and then transported through the valley and back to the country of Mysore.
1]
The king of Mysore was named Dardvaro Kovodya, and he was an abnormal succession. Two years ago, his king's uncle fell ill and died, and this guy staged a coup d'Γ©tat to seize the king
Stand.
In order to win over the military aristocracy of the Green Sect, he even converted to the Green Sect one by one. After securing the throne, he attacked the green nobles, became Hindus again, and gained the vast part of India
Teach the support of the nobility.
With good political skills and good military ability, this king is also a powerful figure in India.
"The king from China wants to make peace?" Dodor Wodya asked with a smile.
The envoy was a Tamil nobleman, and he nodded at the moment: "Your Majesty of our country said that I am willing to make friends with your country forever." The mountains between the two countries are a natural boundary barrier, and he does not
If you intend to expand westward, your country has no intention of expanding eastward. In that case, what contradictions do the two countries have that cannot be resolved?"
Dodwardea laughed, "He was frightened by the rebel nobles, right?" They beg me to withdraw my troops as soon as possible, so that I can put down the rebellion in peace. β
The messenger said, "Please offer a price, and your majesty will try to satisfy it, and all the treasures you have seized can be carried away."
"If you want me to retire, I want 200,000 Suvana (nearly three tons) of gold," said Dodwardya. If there is not enough gold, it is to be paid for with grain and goods. Send 5 first
Wan Suvana came, and the remaining ten years were paid. If you dare to default on the arrears, I will bring troops to kill again!"
The messenger made a look of embarrassment: "200,000 Suvana is too much, is 30,000 enough?"
"Do you think I'm a beggar?" Dodas Wardya sneered.
The messenger could only say, "I must go back and ask Your Majesty." β
Dodwardya said, "Then you go and come back quickly."
After sending away the envoy sent by Zhao Kuangbiao, the king was in a good mood, and even had the intention of annexing the Jin Kingdom. Jen 2]
However, he was able to restrain himself, because if he could not annex it quickly, he could face invasion from other neighboring countries. Neither are the two countries of Krady and Gorkunda in the rear
If you are a vegetarian, you will stab the chrysanthemums of Mysore when you get the chance. Jen 3]
Thinking carefully, Dodwarda ordered: "Except for the king's personal guard, the rest of the troops are scattered." The enemy city is ready, don't attack the city again,
Try to rob all the villages around!"
After more than ten days, Dada Wodya received news that the noble king of the Jin Kingdom was gathering troops.
These local nobles, frightened by the atrocities of Mysore, obeyed Zhao Kuangbiao's call in order to keep their property.
Thinking that he had asked for too much gold, he sent an envoy to offer peace talks: "Tell the king from China that if you want me to withdraw my troops, you must give 100,000."
Suvana Gold. That's my bottom line, it couldn't be less!"
At the same time, Dodwardea regrouped the army that had been scattered and looted, intending to destroy the noble alliance here first.
Weng Yingji's infantry and Sun Kewang's cavalry advanced along the river for dozens of miles, and then moved away from the river to prepare to go around. Didn't bring any food, and the artillery was also left, ordering the village along the way
The community gives food. The farther the march became, the more difficult it was to raise food, and the villages were robbed by the enemy and extorted by the army of their own king.
By next year, there will inevitably be a famine in the western part of the Jin Kingdom, and I don't know how many people will starve to death! [ 5]
Sun Kewang's cavalry walked the fastest, and after a few days, they went around to Adur outside the mountain pass. This is a border town, and now it has become a transit point for supplies, which was looted by the country of Mysore
All the goods are gathered here to be transported back.
Smoke rose every day outside the town, starving people, exhausted slaves, corpses moved outside the town - and burned their brains. 5 1
About 2,000 enemy troops were stationed here, all of them elite, and they were responsible for guarding the goods.
These guys, don't even bother to set up camp.
It was really that they sent their troops too smoothly, and the main force had already fought over, and this place belonged to the absolutely safe rear. They took the townspeople and used them as slaves to deliver supplies.
He lived in a house in the town. Some soldiers were also sent on patrol, but not to warn the enemy, but to prevent the slaves from rebelling or escaping.
Sun Kewang didn't bother to hide his whereabouts, so he rested for a few miles away, and then went straight to the town of Adur under the guidance of his guide.
The guide was the Peshra, whose city had been occupied, his treasure had been emptied, and his wife and daughter had been robbed. Now one by one, he is angry, and he is absolutely loyal to Zhao Kuangbiao, as long as he is not allowed to go
Die, let him do whatever he wants.
In broad daylight, hundreds of cavalry trotted past, and the slaves who were transporting goods along the way only looked at them in amazement.
For every hundred slaves, there was a small army guarding over them. The army doesn't need much, a few soldiers can manage hundreds of slaves, and these slaves don't have the courage to resist.
The Mysore soldiers, who were in charge of transporting the goods, thought that their own cavalry had arrived. waited for Sun Kewang to run past them, only to react that something was wrong, but in addition to blowing the trumpet,
There is no way to go back to the town to report the letter.
Of the two thousand enemy troops stationed in the town, most of them enjoyed themselves in the town, and only a few hundred of them actually did things. 1
In addition to the 300 Han soldiers, there were more than 100 noble cavalry, and Sun Kewang quickly rushed to the outside of the town.
In broad daylight, the enemy generals were not even wearing armor, and were drinking with the noble officers of the gang. Hearing shouts of killing from outside the town, they got up drunken and waited until they were sure that an enemy was coming
Only then did he panic and ran to find his armor-
The soldiers were not damaged, and the town was taken.
Sun Kewang said to Peshla, "Assemble all the people (the enemy slaves) here into an army, and let them guard these goods. The rest of the nobles, along the enemy's grain routes,
Kill me back!"
The grain route of the Mysore army was cut off in this way, and only a few hundred cavalry quickly pulled out one grain transport depot after another.
And the king of Mysore in front has just gathered the plundering army everywhere, and he is still thinking about destroying the noble alliance of the Jin Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, there is an enemy in our rear, and the grain transportation channel along the river has been cut off!"
"How many enemies are there?"
"I don't know, it could be thousands, it could be tens of thousands!" Nonsense, there must not be thousands, otherwise it would have been discovered a long time ago. Don't march any further, everyone will follow me and go back!
The spies, who were in charge of observing the situation, immediately went back to inform the noble coalition that the Jin king's army had been victorious, and the Mysore invaders had completely fled.
The local nobles were inexplicably excited, and chased after them with their troops.
chased for dozens of miles and was killed by the king of Mysore
