Chapter 355: Funanguo's Request (1)
Everyone wondered in their hearts, what did the envoy of Funan want to do when he appeared at this time?
"I heard that there is a conflict between Funan and Zhenla, will Funan come to ask us for help?"
The lieutenant was the first to break the silence and voice his conjectures.
Although they have only been here for a short time, they also have some understanding of this small barbarian country in the southeast.
The current king of Zhenla, Bafa Walman, is the son of the previous king of Funan and the elder brother of the current king of Funan, and the country of Zhenla is still attached to Funan.
After the death of the previous king, Bafa Valman succeeded his father-in-law and became the king of Zhenla.
Bafa Valman has always been dissatisfied with the current king of Funan, believing that the current king of Funan has robbed him of the throne, and since becoming the king of Chenla, he has often clashed with the kingdom of Funan.
Later, the king of Funan was seriously ill and bedridden, and the military and political affairs were handled by the crown prince Sihafarman, and Bafa Valman took the opportunity to send troops to attack Funan.
Since the king of Funan is still there, he can still unite the hearts of the people of Funan, and everyone works together to resist the invasion of the Zhenla army and repel the Zhenla army many times.
Seeing that conquest by force would not work, Bafa Varman thought of bribing the ministers of Funan and co-opting them for his own use.
The king of Funan could not afford to be ill for a long time, and the dark tide began to surge in Funan, and the ministers who were bribed by Bafa Walman began to make small moves in Funan.
As a result, there were rebellions in many places in Funan, and the crown prince Sihafaman urgently mobilized his troops to quell the rebellion in various places, and he had to always guard against the invasion of the Zhenla army.
Under the internal and external troubles, the young prince was exhausted, for fear that he would not be able to support it and fall.
"If Funanguo really asks us for help, then we have a reason to send troops to Zhenla, and kill this guy who is in the way first!"
The third army's envoy's eyes lit up, his tongue licked his lips, and he was worried that he couldn't find a reasonable reason to send troops to take Zhenla Guo down.
The envoy of Funan Kingdom came running, and he really wanted to do something, which made him very excited.
"No matter what the reason is, let's first see what the envoy of Funan said, and invite the envoy of Funan to come in and speak."
Xu Da waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, instead of guessing here, it is better to invite people in, and everything will be clear when you ask.
"Yes!"
The soldiers saluted and retreated, and invited the envoys of the Funan Kingdom outside the camp to come in!
"Minister of Funan Country, Hong Dukla, please say hello to the angels!"
The envoy of Funan saluted Xu Da, although he didn't know Xu Da, but from the position where Xu Da was standing and the gorgeous armor on his body, he could still judge Xu Da's identity.
"The messenger does not need to be polite! I don't know what the messenger came to our army camp for? ”
Xu Da got straight to the point and asked directly.
"I am on the order of the crown prince to invite angels to my Funan country as a guest."
Hongdukra did not directly explain his intentions, but sent an invitation to Xu Da.
Just now he saw the appearance of the Tang Army, it is an iron-blooded strong army, not comparable to these small southeastern countries, even if all the small southeastern countries are combined, they may not be the opponents of the Tang Army.
Inviting Xu Da to Funanguo was to use the momentum of the Tang Army to deter other small countries that coveted Funan, especially Zhenla.
The king of Zhenla was originally the prince of Funan, but now he is the king of Zhenla, not only does he not miss the love of his homeland, but also wants to send troops to destroy Funan, and he is a real wolf's ambition!
Hongdukra wanted to use the Tang Army to deter the Zhenla Kingdom, so that the Zhenla Kingdom would not dare to send troops to attack the Funan Kingdom, and by the way, it would deter the guys in the country who ate inside and outside.
In order to keep the country of Funan, as long as the country of Funan is stable, Funan is willing to increase the tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year.
"I'm really sorry, our army is under the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to go out to crusade against the country of Pi, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to your Funan country as a guest."
Xu Da said slightly apologetically.
Since Hong Dukra didn't want to tell the truth, and Xu Da didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party, he wouldn't believe that the Funan Congress had specially sent an envoy to invite him to be a guest.
The most important thing for him now is to open the passage to the country of Pi, but he doesn't have the time to play dumb riddles with the other party.
The other party refused to explain the real intention, so he had to leave the Tang army camp quickly, he wanted to start deploying the action plan, every minute, every second is very precious!
"As far as I know, the road from Zhenla to the country of Pyu has been blocked, and you can't pass through Zhenla and attack the country of Pun."
"Zhenla and the country of Bi have long been allied, how can Zhenla lend the Tao to you, even if you wait here for a lifetime, Zhenla will not be able to lend you the Tao."
Hondukra said anxiously.
This time, he came to use the Tang Army to protect Funanguo, if he was driven away like this, how could he go back and explain to the prince.
In any case, he also has to ask Tang Jun to help the future of the southern country, it depends on him to send an envoy this time, success or failure, just between this thought!
Since the other party didn't want to say some polite words, he didn't bend around and directly pointed out Tang Jun's current predicament.
That is, you want to attack the country of Pi, but you are blocked outside the country of Zhenla, and you want to borrow from the country of Zhenla, and it is impossible for people to lend it to you.
By the way, point out the relationship between the Zhenla Kingdom and the Bi Kingdom, and then the value of Funan can be shown, and only if it is valuable, can it get more help from the Tang Army.
"So what? Do you really think that there is no way for our Zhenla country? If you really provoke us, even Zhenla will be destroyed!"
The envoy of the Third Army said disdainfully.
Between Zhenla and Biguo, there is a marriage relationship, they have known about it for a long time, and they still need you to come all the way to remind them?
They will act tonight, even if they don't send troops to destroy Zhenla, they can open a way and directly kill the country of Bi.
This is the will of the saints, and they have to do it anyway.
When the Funan envoy Hong Duke heard this, he sneered, he also knows something about Datang, Datang boasts of being the kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette!
It is absolutely impossible to do things that are not justified or unsatisfactory, without the will of the Tang Emperor, even if this group of military leaders wants to attack Zhenla, they must weigh one or two.
What's more, Zhenla also paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, so it was even more impossible to move Zhenla casually, otherwise, how could the Tang army camp here, instead of directly sending troops to destroy Zhenla.
That is, because Datang cares about the face of the Celestial Empire, and will not kill the small countries that surrender, which is much more reliable than Zhenla.
This may be the Tang Empire, as a big country, never bullying the weak casually!
Therefore, they will send him Hongduke to ask for help from the Tang army, hoping that the Tang army can save the southern country from the sea of suffering!
But he forgot that there is an old saying in the Tang Dynasty, which is called that when the general is outside, the king's order is not affected!
Some people died, but not completely......
