Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 122 The Nanzhao Kingdom Was Unprepared
Li Ke is not an unreasonable person. The Wa Kingdom and the Nanzhao Kingdom each sent a person, wanting Li Ke to kill them so that they can start a war?

Isn't this just a joke?

Li Ke refused to let them do what they wanted.

Not only did he not kill these two people, but he also took the initiative to send troops to fight.

Nanzhao Kingdom and Wa Kingdom, don't they want to fight?
As they wished, they were beaten, and if they wanted to be beaten, they cried and cried, regretting it endlessly.

After letting the prince of Wa, the princess of Nanzhao, and the prince of Wuji step down, Li Ke immediately called for Zhao Yang and Li Yong.

Li Yong was originally from Goguryeo. He was good at commanding the sea and was familiar with places such as the sea and the Wa Kingdom.

Therefore, Li Ke ordered that Li Yong lead the troops to attack the country of Wa.

In addition, Zhao Yang is good at land warfare, and he used to be the Jiedu envoy guarding one side.

Therefore, Li Ke asked him to lead troops to fight against Nanzhao.

He wants to let Wa Kingdom and Nanzhao Kingdom understand that Li Ke's Dragon Kingdom is not something they can provoke.

Since they were provocative and wanted to fight, it was Long Guo who would fight them.

Li Yong and Zhao Yang took soldiers, bombs and cannons respectively, one headed towards the southeast, and the other headed towards the southwest.

To deal with the island nation, a large number of warships are obviously needed. Fortunately, the Dragon Kingdom has already started to manufacture a large number of warships. Up to now, the number of warships is already very large.

The number of these warships is enough to support large-scale battles at sea.

In addition, these warships are all equipped with cannons and bombs from the Dragon Kingdom.

And the outer hull of the warship is inlaid with thinner steel sheets to prevent damage to the hull from enemy attacks.

At the same time, it can also make the hull stronger and have a longer service life.

So in terms of warships, Dragon Kingdom's warships must be the most powerful in the world at present.

In addition, the army led by Li Yong is also equipped with cannons and bombs, which have become the basic weapons of the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, Li Ke is absolutely confident in the battle against the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom.

These battles don't even require Li Ke to care too much.

The two armies separated to carry out their missions.

And Li Ke would call the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom and the prince of Wa Kingdom to the palace from time to time to learn something about them.

For example, learn about the military strength of the Wa Kingdom, or the military strength of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and some other situations between the two countries.

Regarding these issues, the Princess of Nanzhao Kingdom and the Prince of Wa Kingdom would almost know everything and talk endlessly.

After all, they are also resentful towards the country and father who betrayed them.

On the contrary, Li Ke has some favors to them.

After all, Li Ke didn't really kill them, it was considered as saving their lives, and it was a life-saving grace for them.

This is also Li Ke's cleverness. He just didn't follow the routine and didn't follow the plan of the emperor of Nanzhao and the emperor of Wa to kill their unpleasant children.

In this way, taking these two people into his hands became the best source of information.

From them, a lot of information about Nanzhao and Wa countries can be obtained.

After learning some important information, Li Ke will ask someone to bring it to Li Yong and Zhao Yang.

In this way, the chances of winning are already in hand, but the ability to know oneself and the enemy has been added.

As for Wa Kingdom and Nanzhao Kingdom, they were caught off guard in this incident.

Originally, they were still waiting for the news that their prince and princess had been killed, and then pretended to be angry and crusade against the Dragon Kingdom.

But who knows, before they had time to do this, the army of the Dragon Kingdom had already arrived.

Especially the Nanzhao Kingdom, which was originally next to the Dragon Kingdom, and the Dragon Kingdom's army was dispatched within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom. They didn't react until they reached the border.

Although he wanted to fight Long Guo, he still had to prepare.

The Dragon Kingdom suddenly sent so many troops over, they were totally caught off guard.

Under such circumstances, the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom sent envoys to negotiate with the army of the Dragon Kingdom and inquire about the situation.

However, the army led by Li Yong was very domineering, attacking directly while giving a reply.

The content of the reply is that the Nanzhao Kingdom is arrogant and contemptuous of the Dragon Kingdom's national prestige, and intends to seize the southwestern border of the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom took the initiative to send a large army to carry out a crusade.

Faced with such a domineering reason, the Nanzhao court was speechless.

They themselves wanted to fight Long Guo, but they didn't expect that Long Guo would take the initiative and give such a reason, which left them no excuses.

Active people become passive, and those who should be passive become active.

This made Nanzhao very uncomfortable, so the emperor of Nanzhao continued to send envoys to communicate, trying to buy time.

What they said was an excuse, saying that they just wanted the Dragon Kingdom to give them some land.

In short, the words are very high-sounding.

In this regard, Li Yong continued to reply:

The Dragon Kingdom is willing to give some land to the people of the Nanzhao Kingdom, but the premise is that these people must belong to the Dragon Kingdom.

The meaning here is obvious, that is to let the people of Nanzhao Kingdom become the people of Dragon Kingdom.

Such a reply once again left Emperor Nanzhao speechless.

At the same time, he also understands that no matter who takes the initiative this time, this battle is absolutely unavoidable.

Simply, they immediately began to mobilize troops and horses, preparing for a battle.

But unfortunately, just as he was ready, several cities had already been lost on the border!
This allowed them to see the power of the Dragon Kingdom!
