After saying this, the lark was afraid that he would destroy his own prestige and increase the morale of others, so he hurriedly added, "Although our mercenaries are very strong and are not afraid of any enemy, if we plan carefully, we can completely let this situation go, wouldn't it be better." ”

"How do you plan carefully?" Yang Chendong had already heard the meaning of the lark from these words, presumably this person with intelligence talent must have had a very good idea.

"To enter the Phnom Penh dynasty first and solve the troubles in the south, it is not necessary to completely occupy them, in fact, we don't have enough manpower now, but we just need to be afraid of them. In this way, when Siam dares to make a move, we have no worries. Of course, if it works well, this is also a knock on the mountain, and you can strive for a certain amount of time for development. As if a big decision had been made, the lark said this in one breath, and then stared at Yang Chendong intently, waiting for the sixth young master's answer.

Attacking the Phnom Penh dynasty first, this is the final decision made by the lark after nearly three months of understanding and investigating everything. If he was rejected by the Sixth Young Master, it would mean that the previous efforts had been done in vain, and the plan would have to be reversed, which would not only take time, but also make him lose points in the eyes of the Sixth Young Master, which was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Yang Chendong listened carefully to the lark's plan, and did not express his position immediately, but got up, walked to the sand table not far away and stood still, and when the lark also followed to his side, he asked very casually, "If you send troops to Phnom Penh, you always need a reason to say the past." ”

"Sixth Young Master, the subordinates have prepared a reason, as long as you give an order, we can blatantly kill it." Hearing Yang Chendong's reason, Skylark's heart pounded, he knew that this was the sixth young master's approval of his plan, and he had already begun to think about how to implement it.

"What kind of reason?" Yang Chendong didn't expect that the lark had even thought about this, and couldn't help but show a look of amazement.

"Sixth young master, my subordinates have already made arrangements, and they first spent a lot of money to buy fifty sets of enemy uniforms from the hands of Du En, the right minister of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and they are fully equipped. Intelligence agents would then be sent to feign their appearance and attack the caravan of the Solangon family. By the way, the Solangon family is a well-known merchant family in Lao Province, very wealthy, and they have always had business dealings with the Phnom Penh dynasty......"

Listening to the lark say the plan step by step, four big words jumped out of Yang Chendong's mind - blame others.

Yes, the lark's plan was to blame the Phnom Penh dynasty for the black hand who ambushed the Solangon family, so that the mercenaries would have enough to use to send troops. After all, even if the Solangon family paid their commercial taxes to the mercenaries on time, the mercenaries should protect their safety and commercial interests.

I have to say that this plan is still very good, and it can be regarded as a common excuse for invasion. Just looking at the lark's arrangement, he seems to be more fully and exhaustively prepared.

"Well, this is a good plan, but this is not enough, the Phnom Penh Dynasty has never been looked at by us, but the strength of the Siamese Kingdom cannot be underestimated, and this young master thinks that it should be done..."

Anyway, this time my answer should make the sixth young master very satisfied, and the impression will be better.

Yang Chendong's impression of the lark is indeed good, this person is a good hand at intelligence, and he dares to be a lonely hero, and he is full of courage, and now this Yin man's ability is also very powerful. I'm afraid that whoever has such an opponent will have a headache. Of course, it is a kind of happiness to have such a subordinate, many things do not need him to think too much, someone has done everything well, such a subordinate is worry-free and reassuring.

As for the ability of the lark, will one day turn against the Lord? Hehe, I believe that as the lark understands more and more about the strength and strength of the mercenaries, this kind of mind will become smaller and smaller, until it is completely non-existent. Yang Chendong can promote a person, but he can also destroy a person.

But after thinking about it, the lark will not do this, just because he is a smart person, and a smart person knows how to do it best to get more benefits and benefits under the premise of self-preservation.

No one knows what Yang Chendong and the lark talked about, in short, the lark was excited when he left. In the following time, Hu Mang was called into the study and received an order, that is, the six battalions of auxiliary troops and one division and one regiment that had just been established in Chichi City were secretly transferred to Laos Province, which was of great use.

At present, the mercenaries in Lao Province have two main regiments of Leng Feng and 22 battalions of auxiliaries, with a total of about 12,000 soldiers. Counting the 30,000 Laotian mercenaries led by He Guang, it did not reach 50,000. These forces alone want to go to war against the neighbors of the three neighboring countries, which is obviously not enough in the eyes of outsiders.

Although it is said that the soldiers are more expensive, not more, but if the troops are too small, they can't even defend the city and divide the troops, how can this work. In order to make adequate preparations, Yang Chendong could only go to Chiji City to transfer troops. Another Leng Feng Regiment and six auxiliary battalions were transferred, although there were only about 4,000 people, there was still a little insufficient strength, but it was indeed more confident to deal with the current situation, and at least the plan could be carried out.

"There are still too few troops." Yang Chendong, who said this with a sigh, shook his head again and suppressed this idea. With his current strength and the number of people he controls, it will not be too difficult to build an army of hundreds of thousands, but what kind of combat effectiveness can such an army talk about? He wants to take the route of elite soldiers, so that he can not only equip them with the best equipment, but also save a lot of military spending. Although he was not short of silver now, there were so many things he wanted to do, just like he was going to build concrete roads that could be extended in all directions in all the places he occupied, and he didn't know how much silver would be needed for this project alone.

After getting Yang Chendong's permission, the lark began to set up the plan. Only a dozen days later, he received news that the caravan of the Solangon family was returning from Phnom Penh, the capital of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

"Notice, get ready, and the implementation point of the plan will be set in Shangding." The lark said with great affirmation.

On Ding. One of the cities in the Phnom Penh Dynasty, close to the Mekong River, belongs to the border fortress of Laos Province. Due to its geographical location, it has also become a supply hub for many caravans. He Naxin was here with a caravan to replenish supplies.

As a veteran merchant family in Lao Province, they bought a lot of novelty goods from the commercial street in Vientiane City as soon as it opened, and then they were sent to Phnom Penh City, the capital of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, led by Ta Naxin, where they made a big profit and then returned.

The commercial street sells rare goods, such as perfumes, mirrors and other things that are priceless and marketable, that is, those underwear and cheongsams of various colors are also sought-after goods in the eyes of nobles from all over the world, just less than a day, all the goods are sold out, not to mention, there is a premium of 10% in the process. The profit from this trip alone is equal to more than 20 times the usual sale of ordinary goods.

After making money, he had a smile on his face, and with a caravan of more than 100 people and six carts, he left Shangding City and rented a big boat and sailed up the Mekong River. He wants to take advantage of the fact that these goods are extremely easy to sell, and make a few more trips to contribute more to the Solangon family, so as to ensure that he has a higher status in the family.

The face is full of confidence, and even begins to fantasize about how popular it will be after returning to the family this time, and how it will be seen by others with adoring eyes. Suddenly, while he was on the boat, he saw a military ship coming in the distance.

The reason why it is said to be a military ship is because the deck of the ship opposite is full of men wearing soldiers in the uniforms of the Phnom Penh Dynasty. From a distance, they were all majestic, their battle armor flashing on the reflection of the sun's rays, and the war knives in their hands were even more cold, with a fierce aura.

"A warship?" When he saw the ship, he still put a question mark in his heart. I don't know how many times he ran along the Mekong River, but it was the first time he encountered a military boat.

The doubts in my heart are just a fleeting moment. After all, it's all about dealing with the problems at hand. He hurriedly made a gesture to one of his relatives behind him, and the man turned back to the cabin, and when he came back, he already had an extra money bag containing a hundred taels of silver.

He took the money bag and put it in his arms, and while feeling heavy, he also felt a little more confident. When he looked at the warship and approached his own ship, he was not so panicked in his heart.

"All come out and get checked." As a large plank reached the ship, the soldiers on the other side approached and leaned over to his side.

"Hehe, the military masters have worked hard. But I wonder how you guys ended up here? With a flattering expression, he greeted him as soon as possible.

"What? Where are we going to show up, and can we say hello to you? The leading military master looked displeased.

"No, no, it's just curious, I haven't seen a military master on this line before. Of course, the military master can appear wherever he wants. By the way, we have a very good relationship with General Dahn, and every time we go to Phnom Penh, we visit the palace. While smiling, he said his backstage.
