Chapter 607 Slapping Li Yan in the face? (Please subscribe!)

...

The five counties of Annan, Champa, Chenla, Bangkok, and Pupu developed smoothly, especially after Wang Lun and others moved more than 200 million people from various areas of Song State and Shuibo Liangshan.

Li Yan attached great importance to these five counties and the Indochina Peninsula.

Li Yan plans to move another 300 million people to these five counties in the future. If one day he can win the Central Plains, at least another 1000 million people will be moved here. Li Yan vowed to completely turn this place into China.

Li Yan has great ambitions.

but--

At the current stage, Li Yan only wants to secure the Indochina Peninsula, and even in a short period of time, Li Yan only wants to stabilize the five counties of Annan, Champa, Chenla, Bangkok, and Pupu. Li Yan really can't care about other countries, no matter how far away, in a short time, and really doesn't want to fight anymore.

You know, the Jin army has already gone south, and it has been only a few months since the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Li Yan is going to let the army rest for a while, and then take the army back to compete in the Central Plains.

But some things really backfired.

Xu Derong, whom Li Yan placed high hopes on, was detained as soon as he arrived in the Indian peninsula.

Not only Xu Derong was detained, but also the fleet led by Tong Wei and the soldiers of the [-] First Battalion led by Shangguanyi were also detained.

At first, Li Yan didn't know about it, and was still waiting for Xu Derong's triumphant return.

But two months later, Xi Changshi and two guards suddenly came back in a small sampan, and told Li Yan that the mission Li Yan sent to Zhu Luo was detained by Zhu Luo's army.

This Chula Kingdom, also known as Zhuren, is currently the largest country on the Indian Peninsula. It conquered the southern part of the Indian Peninsula, annexed Sri Lanka, and occupied the Maldives, and even successfully invaded the Malay Archipelago (all countries above Malaysia) region), its territory extends south to the Maldives Islands and as far north as Andhra Pradesh along the Dago Davari River.

The capital city of Zhuluo Kingdom has seven layers, and the city is seven feet high. It is very majestic, second only to Angkor Thom.

The state of Zhuluo was warlike and raised [-] war elephants, each of which was seven or eight feet high, carrying huts on their backs. The warriors fought with bows and arrows at a distance, and at close range they killed with spears.

The warriors of Zhuluo Kingdom are brave and good at fighting, and they regard death as home, and the victors will be rewarded with flags to show their merits.

Chu Luo Kingdom ruled more than 480 million residents. In terms of population, it even surpassed Khmer Kingdom, and it was not much worse than Shuibo Liangshan.

In this era, in Southeast Asia and South Asia, the most powerful country is undoubtedly Gao Jin, followed by Zhu Luo.

Moreover, not long ago, the Zhuluo Kingdom merged with the Eastern Chaluqi Dynasty, and now it is called the Zhuluo-Chalouqi Kingdom, and its national power has greatly increased.

The biggest object of Li Yan's international trade at sea is actually the Chula-Chalukhi Kingdom, referred to as the Zhuluo Kingdom.

In the past, the maritime merchants of the Song State usually transported the goods of the Song State to the Zhuluo State, and then sold them to Indian merchants, who then distributed the goods to the entire Indian Peninsula or resold the goods to Arab merchants.

Of course, there were Song merchants who bypassed Indian merchants and directly traded with Arab merchants. The organizational structure of Indian merchants was relatively poor, so they would be exploited by Song merchants and Arab merchants.

If Shuibo Liangshan engages in international trade at sea, Zhu Luo must be a very important trading partner.

Therefore, Li Yan asked Xu Derong to visit Zhu Luoguo first, in order to maintain this important trading partner.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Luoguo actually detained the mission sent by Li Yan and slapped Li Yan in the face.

From Xi Changshi, Li Yan knew the reason why Zhu Luoguo did this.

turn out to be--

This matter also stems from the fact that at the beginning, under Wang Lun's suggestion, Li Yan also sent troops to occupy the entire Malay Peninsula that the Khmer Kingdom and San Buddha Qi had been fighting for.

In fact, on the surface, Sanfoqi and the Khmer Kingdom are competing for that territory, but in fact it is the Khmer Kingdom and the Choluo Kingdom.

(Later, this territory was won by the Zhuluo Kingdom, and the Zhuluo Kingdom also snatched a large piece of Srivijaya's territory in one go, that is, all the countries above Malaysia, and became one of the talkers of international maritime trade.)
Zhu Luo State attaches great importance to international trade at sea, so it attaches great importance to the land occupied by Shuibo Liangshan, so it secretly supports Sanfoqi and Khmer Kingdom to grab this land, and plans to include this land at an appropriate time. its territory.

Unexpectedly, Shuibo Liangshan snatched this land with a horizontal stick, and even made Sanfo Qi, who was originally obedient to Zhu Luoguo's fate, show signs of swaying.

Many people in the Zhu Luo Kingdom were furious, thinking that Shuibo Liangshan was challenging their dominance of the Zhu Luo Kingdom.

On the other hand, there are also many knowledgeable officials in Chu Luo Kingdom, who think that since Shuibo Liangshan can destroy the Khmer Kingdom, whose national power is not under their Chu Luo Kingdom, they must not be provoked, and it is not appropriate to act rashly.

The two sides quarreled endlessly.

At this moment, Li Yan sent Xu Derong to Zhu Luoguo to discuss international trade.

In the eyes of the people of Zhu Luoguo, Li Yan was provoking, Chi Guoguo's provocation.

Therefore, those main fighters in Zhu Luoguo detained the mission sent by Li Yan.

After more than a month of quarreling between Zhu Luoguo's main battle and those who advocated not provoking water and Liangshan, the two sides reached a consensus: either Li Yan returned the occupied Malay Peninsula, or the two sides went to war and used war to determine the ownership of the Malay Peninsula.

Obviously, the main battle side of the Zhu Luo Kingdom won in the end.

To be honest, Li Yan really didn't want to fight this battle!

Because the shame of Jingkang is coming soon, and his chance to win the Central Plains has come!

According to Li Yan's memory, the shame of Jingkang should appear at the beginning of next year.

According to the information sent back by the current intelligence department, the East and West Route Army of the Jin Army has almost reached the Yellow River, and they will come to the city if they don't need it.

Therefore, Li Yan clearly realized that there was not much time left for him, and it would never exceed five months, maybe three or four months.

And if you start a war with a country as powerful as Zhu Luo, you may be deeply trapped in it, and you will not be able to get out of it in a short time.

But it doesn't work if you don't fight.

Shuibo Liangshan had just set up a stick here in the Indochina Peninsula, was just about to trade with the Indian Peninsula, and was just about to break the monopoly of Arab merchants, when some thorns jumped out to challenge the authority of Shuibo Liangshan.

If this thorn is not pulled out, and the country follows suit, and everyone dares to challenge Shuibo Liangshan, how can these goals of Shuibo Liangshan be realized?How will Shuibo Liangshan gain a foothold in the Indochina Peninsula?

Li Yan considered for three full days and decided: fight!

This head must not be opened, otherwise everyone will come to caress the tiger's whiskers, and Shuibo Liangshan will have to leave the Indochina Peninsula.

At that time, Shuibo Liangshan, which relies heavily on commercial support, will be in great trouble.

but--

Hit is hit.

But Li Yan gave death orders to Xiao Jiasui, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Shi Bao, Bian Xiang, Li Jun, and Chen Kangbo who led the battle: Zhu Luoguo must be overthrown within three months. If this task cannot be completed, who is wrong? , only who is asking!

For a long time, no matter whether it is a big battle or a small battle, Li Yan has never set a hard target, and the generals in front of the battle will judge the situation and complete the set strategic goals.

This was the first time Li Yan gave specific instructions, and it was a death order.

On the one hand, this undoubtedly bound the hands and feet of the generals participating in the battle.

On the other hand, all the generals who participated in the battle also realized that Zhu Luo Kingdom must be captured within three months, otherwise, Li Yan, who has always said one thing, would really take them for granted.
