…

Li Cunkai came out to negotiate these six peace conditions, none of which Zhancheng could agree.

In the eyes of the people who occupy the city, Li Cun is simply too deceitful, and he doesn't take them into account at all.

As a result, the main battle faction in Champa seized the envoys sent by Li Cun.

This undoubtedly provided Li Cun with ample excuses for raising troops on a large scale.

Li Cun did not hesitate, and directly advanced by water, and at the same time attacked Zhancheng.

By land, Li Cun took Wu Jue as the commander and commanded part of the Yulin Army and part of the Annan Army to attack Amoro Boyu in the south.

By waterway, Li Cun personally commanded a direct attack on the port of Zhancheng, and the target was Vijaya, where the Singha Bura, the capital of Zhancheng, was located.

Before Champa detained the envoy of the Tiger Army, he was ready to start a war with the Tiger Army.

In order to defeat Li Cun, Yang Bu Ma Dian actively practiced battle formations, trained soldiers, and designed a set of elephant array combat methods: if you win in battle, you will drive the elephant forward, and if you fail, you will use the elephant to block the enemy.

Ke Zhancheng's self-proclaimed advanced tactics hit Wu Jue's arms, and it can almost be said that Wu Jue completely copied the battle of Langshan in Munu Mountain.

Under the attack of the unconscionable artillery, thunderstorm, and Huzun cannon of the Tiger Army, the war elephants of the Zhancheng were so frightened that they turned around and ran, breaking through the defenses of the Zhancheng army.

What followed was a very smooth one-sided massacre.

The difference is that last time it was the Yulin Army, but this time it was mainly the Annan Army.

In the first battle, Wu Jue recovered the Amoro Porphy.

However, although Wu Jue's speed is fast, it is still not as fast as Li Cun.

When Li Cun attacked the port of Zhancheng, Yang Bu Madie had already personally led the army of Zhancheng to defend along the coastline.

In order to defend the city against the threat of pirates or the Li dynasty in the north, a large wooden fortress with a circumference of about 10 kilometers had already been built.

Not only were these wooden forts capable of deploying a large number of soldiers in them, but there were also a large number of light trebuchets built for the Cham by expatriates with advanced mechanical skills, which were enough to provide a very considerable amount of support firepower for the Cham army.

In addition, the occupation side was composed of ordinary infantry, war elephants and small trebuchets in the front and rear lines.

In the eyes of the Cham people, their defenses were impregnable.

July 19, early morning.

Li Cun ordered Wu Lan to lead 5,000 personal guards to quietly take a small boat to the beach.

After Wu Lan's troops landed, Wu Lan first led a command of men and horses with Tian Sheng to carry out a feint attack from the east to attract the attention of the defenders of the city in Mucheng.

Then there was a second detachment to the north, again with a small number of three commanders.

And the real initiator of the assault was the 3,000 soldiers of the rear guard who made a detour to the south.

Located in Quy Nhon in central Vietnam, the port of Champa was a semi-enclosed body of water guarded by a peninsula, making it an ideal haven for merchant ships on their way between the north and the south.

In fact, this place is not particularly large, and the Cham people set up a lot of watchtowers, so Wu Luan's actions were quickly completely recognized by the Cham people who fought at home.

The Cham prepared to attack the Tiger Ben with bows and trebuchets, turning the engagement into a bravorous attrition at medium and long ranges.

Although the idea of the people who occupy the city is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny.

The Tiger Squat Cannon, with a range of 500 meters, far exceeds bows and arrows and small trebuchets, and at the same time, it can also fire scattered shells, one big bomb, and one hundred small bullets.

Moreover, the Tiger Zun Cannon is still a mortar and can be projectile!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Outside the range of the Cham people, Wu Lan commanded the tiger squat cannon, completely suppressing the arches and arrows and small trebuchets of the Cham people.

As for the war elephants of the Cham people, in the face of the tiger army, which has long experience in fighting against elephants, it is even more useless, not only that, but they are also frightened by the sound of cannons and run around, making the Cham people chaotic.

Seeing that Wu Lan suppressed the attack of the Chase, Li Cun commanded the fleet to slowly dock, and then commanded the soldiers and people of the Shenji rear battalion to calmly move the bed crossbow and conscienceless running ashore.

Next

The battle is simple.

The wooden fortress that the Cham people relied on as a defense could shatter a large area with a single shot without conscience, and a large number of Cham people didn't figure out what was going on, and even the wooden fortress that people took them was blown away.

Occasionally, when they encountered a fortress that could not be blown up by a conscience cannon, the Tiger Ben army used a powerful bed crossbow to eliminate it.

In the face of the bed crossbow with huge power and a particularly long range and can scatter, no matter how strong the fortress is occupied, the Cham people can only be pressed and beaten.

And then, isn't a bag of explosives that can't blow up your fortress? What about a hundred?

This is an extremely unequal war, and the military level of both sides is not at the same level at all.

But there are always accidents on the battlefield.

The first to attack the port of Zhancheng was really not the army commanded by Wu Lan or Li Cun, but the commander who had been used to feint before.

Due to the fierce frontal offensive of the Tiger Army, most of the attention of the Cham people was focused on the front, and they were somewhat negligent in the attacks on the other two flanks.

Tian Sheng saw that his small detachment was neglected, and suddenly attacked the port of Zhancheng.

Seeing this, Yang Bu Ma knew that he had been defeated, and there was no point in resisting any longer, so he led the remnants to flee inland, giving up a large amount of military rations and the entire city to the Tiger Ben army.

Li Cun, with Wu Xuan as the commander-in-chief, led 2,500 personal guards and 20,000 Annan troops to pursue Yang Bu Ma Die, and he was responsible for leading the remaining men and horses to kill the Sangha Buluo.

To Li Cun's surprise, Yang Bu Ma not only did not run to the Sangha Buluo, but he did not even send someone to inform the Sangha Buluo that he was defeated (it may be that someone was sent to inform him, but the person who received the order did not know why he did not complete this task).

The people of the Sangha Bu Supplement did not think that Yang Bu Ma was defeated if he could not resist it for even a day, and then he was not prepared at all.

As a result, Li Cun took the Singha Bura defenders by surprise, and the weapons of the Tiger Ben Army were too sharp, so he captured the Singha Bura in one battle.

Soon, Wu Jue, who went south, intercepted Yang Bu Ma Die at the junction of Champa and Angkor Dynasty, and then the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Ling attacked back and forth, killing 30,000 or 40,000 Cham people, and finally captured Yang Bu Ma Die.

As a typical ancient Southeast Asian country, although Champa was directly connected to the Li Dynasty in the north, there were huge differences in language, culture, customs, and social systems.

Since Champa is located at the southeastern tip of the Indochina Peninsula, it has long been immersed in the Indochina cultural area by sea, and naturally has a core belief in Po-religion, and has little interest in China's Confucian concept of governance.

Since Li Cun conquered the city, Li Cun must change the rule and belief in this region, otherwise how can there be long-term peace and stability?

Li Zheng glanced at the people he brought with him, and finally appointed Li Renjie as the envoy of the occupation of the city, and asked Li Renjie to help him deal with the affairs after the capture of the city.

Li Renjie knew very well why Li Cun didn't use the people he brought to deal with the people and things here in Champa, but instead used him, a newly descended minister, to deal with the people and things here in Champa.

- The reason is easy to guess, it is nothing more than that Li Cun wants him Li Renjie to help him do the dirty work.

Li Renjie can handle his own country, let alone Zhancheng, who has always had an enmity with him?

Therefore, after Li Renjie took office, he did not hesitate to send people to capture the temple, not only taking all the wealth in the temple, but also arresting all the clergy.

In the process of dismantling the rule of Champong, the strict hierarchy of the Pojiao helped Li Renjie greatly.

Li Renjie was very ruthless and directly ordered to execute all the two upper-class men who occupied a very small number of people in the city, and the women were left to the Metropolitan Governor to reward the meritorious people.

Of course, Li Renjie still very thoughtfully selected all the daughters of the royal family and the clan of Zhancheng, including the daughters of high-ranking priests, and sent them to the governor.

What Li Cun personally did was to liberate the low-level serfs and slaves who accounted for the largest number of people in the city, and said to them, you are free, and in the future, you will all be my people under Li Cun's rule.

At the same time, Li Cun is also fair

Fair treatment of the peasants and merchants, who were the second largest in the city, and gave them the status of commoners.

When Chen Yu came to Zhancheng, he saw a sea of blood and a city where the ruling class had all disappeared.

Li Cun did not tell Chen Yu that he had cleared the way for him to completely occupy the city by the Huben army, but only told Chen Yu that he would find a way to move a million Han people to him, so that Chen Yu could govern the city into a territory that would never be separated from China.

Only then did Chen Yu know another advantage of Li Cun - responsibility.

Li Cun didn't leave this biggest trouble to him, but resisted it on his own, so that he could really show his strength here in Zhancheng.

In the face of a wise and responsible monarch like Li Cun, Chen Yu was really obedient in addition to respect.

Chen Yu was still cold, but this time he rarely answered "promise", and then went to hand over to Li Renjie.

Li Cun renamed the city of Zhan as Dingnan Road, and renamed it Dingnan City for the Sangha Buluo.

During the time when he was happy with the royal family and the daughters of the Zong clan in the palace of Yang Bu Madie, including the daughters of the high-ranking priests, Li Cun easily changed all the places on Dingnan Road to Han names.

Soon, Li Cun officially ordered that Annan Road and Dingnan Road became his eighth and ninth roads after Jiangnan Sixth Road and Liuqiu Road.

End of July.

King Suryavarman II of the Angkor Dynasty sent his son to Li Cun to pay him a watch and offered 30 beauties (10 of them were European beauties, 10 were Khmer beauties, and the other 10 were Khmer beauties), 18 golden Buddhas (each weighing more than 10,000 taels), and a large number of ivory, agarwood, yellow wax, black wood, white vine, jibei, flower cloth, silk skein, white hair, rhino horn and other objects.

It can be seen that Suryavarman II was afraid of sweeping away the Li Dynasty and Li Cun of Champa and then attacking his Angkor Dynasty, so he called Fana Watch this time, not only full of gifts, but also full of gifts.

Li Cun said to the son of Suryavarman II, "I have not yet formally established the country, and I did not want to be in Nanping, because the Li Dynasty and the Cham Dynasty attacked my land, damaged my waterways, killed my people, and captured my people.

After Li Cun's words, the son of Suryavarman II was a little relieved.

The Angkor Dynasty was slightly stronger than the Li Dynasty and the Champa Dynasty, but the Angkor Dynasty and the Li Dynasty and the Champa Dynasty, especially the latter, fought for so many years and failed to completely conquer the Champa Dynasty, which shows that its military strength may not be higher than the Champa Dynasty.

Looking at it this way, Li Cun, who destroyed the Li Dynasty and the Champa Dynasty in a very short period of time, if he really moved the mind of destroying the Angkor Dynasty, then the Angkor Dynasty would definitely have to follow in the footsteps of the Li Dynasty and the Champa Dynasty.

Fortunately, the son of Suryavarman II listened to Li Cun's meaning, and Li Cun was not ready to continue to expand westward.

But before the son of Suryavarman II was happy, Li Cun said, "However, I have some little things, and I want to ask your family for help or two, and I hope that your family will not refuse."

The son of Suryavarman II immediately guessed that Li Cun's "begging" for their Angkor Dynasty was definitely not a good thing, and it was certainly not a "trivial matter" that could be done easily, otherwise how could Li Cun, who was now already in the Indochina Peninsula, use the word "begging"?

The son of Suryavarman II respectfully said, "Your Majesty has something to do, but please command, and the small country will do its best to complete it."

Li Cun said, "When you are on the ground, I will call someone to talk to you when you turn around."

After saying that, Li Cun let the son of Suryavarman II go down.

Soon after, Chen and Liu Xuan approached the son of Suryavarman II and said to him, "Most of my governors want to buy 20,000 war elephants, 30,000 cattle, and 10 million stones of grain at your house, so don't let your family refuse."

When the son of Suryavarman II heard this, he was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "Don't be a joke, the great official, where did my family get 20,000 war elephants, but there are no 2,000 heads, 30,000 head of cattle, and no 10,000 stone of grain."

Liu Xuan translated Chen Hoop's words and said: "It is said that you have a strong country and 200,000 war elephants, but today you come to cry poor, do you deceive us and other ignorance?"

The 200,000 war elephants were blown out by Suryavarman II himself, in order to deter his neighbors

, who wants to but is self-defeating.

The son of Suryavarman II hurriedly explained to Chen Hoop that their Angkor Dynasty really didn't have so many war elephants, this was all nonsense from others, and if their Angkor Dynasty really had 200,000 war elephants, they would have defeated Champa a long time ago, how could they not be able to defeat Champa for so many years?

Later, after a long negotiation between the two sides, the son of Suryavarman II agreed to sell the Tiger army 2,000 war elephants, 20,000 cattle, and 5,000,000 stone grain (to be delivered in three years).

When it came time to negotiate the price, the son of Suryavarman II almost vomited blood, Chen Hoop and Liu Xuan actually kept the price extremely low, and they had to match the war elephant with personnel and interpreters who could operate the war elephant (including the families of these people).

And this is not the most that makes the son of Suryavarman II vomit the most blood, the most that makes the son of Suryavarman II vomit blood is that the Tiger Benjun actually uses the paper money issued by himself to trade.

Isn't this just a robbery?

The son of Suryavarman II guessed correctly, Li Cun was almost robbing these things.

- Of course, in Li Cun's view, he is promoting the banknotes issued by the Tiger Benjun.

At present, the biggest threat to Annam Road and Dinh Nam Road is the mighty Angkor Dynasty.

And at this stage, it is undoubtedly the weakest time for Annan Road and Dingnan Road.

Therefore, Li Cun knew that he had to abolish some of the armed forces of the Angkor Dynasty, and put an end to the idea of the Angkor Dynasty, an aggressive dynasty, to fight Annam and Dingnan.

To be honest, that is, the two roads of Annam and Dingnan were recovered, and there were many problems, and Li Cun did not have much time to waste here in Zhongnan, otherwise, Li Cun really had the intention of destroying the Angkor Dynasty.

You must know that the Angkor Dynasty is at its peak, and its wealth is by no means comparable to that of the Li Dynasty and Champa.

Perhaps, if Li Cun defeated the Angkor Dynasty, he would be able to vigorously issue paper money in the standard gold.

But at the last moment, Li Cun still resisted his idea of blind expansion.

- Li Cun is not unable to defeat the Angkor Dynasty, he really has no talent to govern the Angkor Dynasty now.

As for cattle and food, they are needed for people's livelihood.

Moreover, in the next few years, the Central Plains region will be particularly short of grain, and if Li Cun has a large amount of grain on hand, it will be more effective than any weapon.

The only challenge was how to get the elephants, cattle and grain back.

Well...... War elephants and oxen really can't do it, so it's better to go back slowly by land.

Food...... Ship it slowly, how much you can transport back, and if you can't transport it back, you can leave it to the people of Annan and Dingnan to eat.

Two days later, Duan Zhengyan, the head of Dali State, sent Gao Taiyun, an important minister, to Dingnan City with a large gift to meet Li Cun, and called Li Cun Fanabiao.

Li Cun repeated his old tricks and used the banknotes he issued to buy 30,000 Dian horses from Dali.

Although this Yunnan horse is not suitable for being a war horse, it is particularly suitable for being a pack horse, such as strong physique, short and strong, flexible movement, good at mountaineering and crossing, long-distance and long-term labor, resistant to rough feeding, and good adaptability.

Li Cun destroyed the Li Dynasty and Zhancheng in less than two months, which not only showed his strong military strength, but also made people see Li Cun's aggressiveness.

Therefore, although it was not easy for Dali to come up with 30,000 Yunnan horses, in order not to give Li Cun an excuse to invade Dali, Gao Taiyun still agreed on behalf of Duan Zhengyan.

After that, the Queen's Kingdom, Bagan, Falla Bodi, Java, Srivijaya and Siam all came to Dingnancheng to meet Li Cun, offered heavy gifts, and said that from now on, you can say how to do the maritime trade in the eastern half of the Maritime Silk Road.

By the way, since Li Cun did not establish the country, the external propaganda is Li Cun, the governor of the Tiger Army, and it may be a problem of translation, the people here in the Indochina Peninsula gradually called Li Cun's country "Cunguo", even if Li Cun Jianyuan was later restructured, they still like to use "Cunguo" to refer to the country established by Li Cun......
