Chapter 213 Encircle and suppress Jiaozhi!
Qin Hui and Hou Shijie started a massacre on Guangnan West Road, killing people without any mercy.
Those officials who usually chat and laugh in the yamen and are noble in Yada are now neatly arranged in their heads, hanging on the city tower, staring at the front.
This great purge came very quickly and ended very quickly.
In early June, all the military materials arrived in the southwest smoothly, including the new equipment of the Song army, including the thunder of the sky, the improved version of the divine arm crossbow, the catapult cart, and the ladder.
Not only that, the equipment prepared by Dali Kingdom for combat in the tropical areas was also transported to Guangnan West Road.
Zong Ze quickly pushed the Song army camp to Siming Prefecture and set up camp in Siming Prefecture.
A large number of fine works began to cross the border between the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi and penetrate into Jiaozhi.
Soon, news came, and the voices of peace talks in Jiaozhi were getting louder and louder.
But there are also the most solid pro-war factionists, and the pro-war faction here does not want to assemble a large army to head north into the Song Dynasty.
The 100,000 army was gone, and now even the pro-war faction of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi realized that the Song army was not the same as before.
But they still have the initiative to fight and will never surrender. Their confidence comes from the fact that Jiaozhi Kingdom is located in the tropical region, with a humid climate and a dense range of poisonous insects and miasma.
If you were not a person who lived here all year round, you would definitely get sick from the north, especially those who lived a life of luxury and luxury in a prosperous place like the Central Plains.
When Emperor Shenzong sent 300,000 troops south of Jiaozhi, he originally defeated the Jiaozhi army in the Battle of Fuliang River.
Li Renzong of the Li Dynasty had to surrender and negotiate peace.
Originally, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi planned to completely recover the former territory of Jiaozhi, but more than half of them were sick because of the army.
Therefore, the Song army had to agree to peace talks and withdraw from Jiaozhi in full.
It's just left it alone.
With previous experience, Jiaozhi naturally is not afraid of the Song army coming to an end.
Zhenla is a powerful country in the southwest, and Zhenla is the legendary Angkor dynasty.
Zhenla was in great strength, but the northern line often fought with Jiaozhi, and the southeast was invaded by Chameng, and had to deal with Bagan (now Myanmar area).
Jiaozhi is becoming increasingly strong, and the pressure on Zhenla North Line is very high, so the peace talks with Jiaozhi in the northern border, and annual monies are given to each year, which is the same as the Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdom.
This time, Jiaozhi invaded the southwest of the Song Dynasty, and Zhenla also gave some soldiers to Jiaozhi.
When Zong Ze made a memorial to the Central Mansion and the Emperor, he explained his strategy of attacking Jiaozhi: to win over Zhenla, unite with Chameng, and destroy Jiaozhi!
This strategy was supported and affirmed by Zhao Huan and Zhong Shidao. Zhong Shidao advised Zhao Huan that in order to prevent Zhen La and Champa from having a cold lips and teeth, the envoys from Zhen La and Champa must tell them that the Song Dynasty was conquering because Jiaozhi was indomitable and did not want to destroy its country.
After Jiaozhi "corrected" the foundation of the country, the Song Dynasty naturally supported the succession of the virtuous monarch.
Relying on its growing strength, Jiaozhi has already begun to expand. In recent years, Zhenla and Chameng have compromised against Jiaozhi on the surface, but in fact they have been accumulating strength.
This is the best time for the Song Dynasty to unite these two countries and annex Jiaozhi.
After dealing with the matter of the imperial guards on Guangnan West Road, Qin Hui led a team of 100 people to send a mission to Zhenla overnight.
He entered Dali first, and Dali King Duan Zhengyan immediately added another army, disguised them as merchants who went south to Dali, and walked south unimpeded with Dali's documents.
Duan Zheng’s stern and cheerful attitude once again proves that only a strong country can have diplomacy!
Humidity and heat!
This is Qin Hui’s biggest feeling after entering Zhenla. The reasonable tropical rainforest trees are enough to be as thick as several adults when they pick them up. The leaves are as big as those of people, and the vines on the trees are intertwined, and some hang down and grow back into the land.
There are many wild animals in the tropical rainforest. If Duan Zhengyan had not had old hunters in his team, Qin Hui and others would have long become the Chinese food for wild animals.
This is nothing. Since going south, Qin Hui began to feel that his skin was itchy and had many rashes. Song Jun, who was walking with him, also had similar symptoms, accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
It was Duan Zhengyan who prepared a bitter tea specially used to remove dampness and poison for them to improve quickly.
They also prepared herbs specifically for removing mosquitoes and poisonous snakes and applied them to their bodies.
Compared to Qin Hui, Zhang Jun was much more envoyed to Chameng. He went straight to Hailu and arrived in Chameng.
Chameng has always had close trade exchanges with the Song Dynasty, so he is very familiar with the Song people and is very friendly.
Zhang Jun met a nobleman in Cham City as a merchant of the Song Dynasty. He gave the noble a carriage of high-quality silk, and then soon met the king of Cham City.
Speaking of Chameng, the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Chameng is not just about commerce.
Chameng rice was introduced to the Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong and was widely planted in the south and in the Huai River, greatly increasing the grain output of the Song Dynasty.
Chameng is an enemy of Jiaozhi.
In the past few hundred years, the war between the two sides has never stopped.
Jiaozhi is more powerful than Champa, and Champa is in danger of destroying the country at any time.
Just say that more than fifty years ago, the king of Chameng was captured by Jiaozhi General Li Changjie.
This generation of Champa king Jay Indravarman was also defeated by Li Changjie more than 20 years ago.
So, Chameng hates Jiaozhi very much.
No matter how much hatred, Jiaozhi is stronger than Chameng. At this time, Jiaozhi invaded Song Dynasty and asked Chameng for soldiers, Chameng could only give soldiers obediently.
After Zhang Jun saw Jay Indra Varman, he revealed his identity.
"It turned out that the envoy was here, but my country was unable to welcome her, so she was rude and rude."
The king of Champa Jay Indra Varman was very polite on the surface, but he felt a little frightened by Zhang Jun's arrival.
During the incident of Jiaozhi entering the Song Dynasty, Chameng sent troops.
The news of Jiaozhi's defeat was sent back to the country. Jay Indra Varmo heard that the Song army was very powerful. He defeated Jiaozhi's 100,000 troops by just dispatching 8,000 troops.
He was worried day and night whether the Emperor of Song Dynasty would send someone to ask for the crime, and was also preparing to send someone to the Song Dynasty to take the initiative to apologize.
I didn't expect that the envoys of the Song Dynasty came so quickly.
The translation on one side translates the conversation between the two.
Zhang Jun said: "Your Majesty, I am not hiding it. Someone came to hide his identity because he was considering his own safety."
"The envoy of the emperor is worried that my country respects the Song Dynasty as the sect leader. The envoy comes, and my country is honored, how dare I harm the envoy?"
"That's true, why did the king help the evildoer?"
Jay Indra Varman said in fear and fear: "The little king doesn't know what the envoy said?"
"Jiaozhi is rebellious, cruel and unruly. Not only does the king not send troops to do the way for heaven, he will increase his troops to help Jiaozhi help the southwest of the Song Dynasty!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Jun's tone became stern.
At this time, the Song Dynasty had won a great victory, so Zhang Jun naturally had enough confidence to come and ask.
Jay Indravarman stood up directly, his face turned pale: "The envoy of the emperor calmed down. My country was forced to do so. Jiaozhi was cruel and forced to send troops. Otherwise, he would destroy my country. The little king thought about the people and could not bear to suffer the consequences of the lives of the world, and could not agree to Jiaozhi."
"When I learned that the king was looking for Jiaozhi, the Holy Emperor was furious and wanted to send a hundred thousand navy to conquer Champa!"
Knowing that Zhang Jun was deliberately fooling, the king of Champa, Jay Indravarman, was still very scared.
"The Holy Emperor forgives his sins, and Xiao Wang dares to do whatever he wants!"
Zhang Jun said again: "I heard that the southern countries have been suffering for a long time. The Holy Emperor was unbearable and wanted to conquer the Jiaozhi traitors, support the holy path, and return the southern countries to a bright world. Can the king be willing to send troops to fight against the rebellion?"
