The meeting went smoothly, and Luan Xiaochen sent an envoy to the Phnom Penh Dynasty to discuss the law, and its speed fully reflected the high efficiency of the government's work. For this reason, Yang Bao also made a special supplement, and this news also made many ordinary citizens rejoice, and they also saw from this incident that they had a strong backer behind them. And if this battle can be won, or if the Phnom Penh Dynasty can be forced to bow its head, then no matter where you go in the future, you can hold your head high, and you are not afraid of being targeted by others.

The messenger was very fast, and he left the city at noon that day, and hurried all the way, and after seven days he arrived at Phnom Penh, and took out a document stating that he wanted to meet the king of the Phnom Penh dynasty.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were in charge of receiving the envoys of Laos Province, and when they learned the purpose of the people, these officials of the Ministry of Rites were frightened. They were shocked that it was just a caravan that had been killed, how could it make the Lao provincial government so excited, could it be that there were some high-ranking officials in the provincial government among the people killed?

Faced with the resolute attitude of the envoy, the receptionist did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly reported the matter layer by layer, and finally the document demanding compensation and apology was sent to King Polamo's case.

As soon as he saw this document, Parama also had a feeling of confusion. But then he was furious, and immediately ordered someone to find General Hun Sen, he wanted to ask if the matter was true, if it was true, this General Hong was too bold.

Forced by the large mercenary force and extremely strong combat effectiveness, it took more than half a year to pacify Jiaozhi and Lancang respectively, forcing the surrounding countries to take the initiative to form alliances. Just like now, the Phnom Penh dynasty was an ally of the Siamese and Ava dynasties.

But even though they are allies, it doesn't mean that they are willing to compete with mercenaries. At least none of the three countries are willing to take the initiative to provoke mercenaries and become their first target. Maybe in the last battle, these three countries will win, but the first country to be beaten is definitely the worst, that is, if it can win, it is afraid that it will not get any benefits.

Therefore, the three countries have put their hopes on other countries, hoping that someone else will fight with the mercenaries first, and they will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But this in no way means that one's own country has become the first to fight to the death against mercenaries.

Hun Sen was urgently called to the palace, and as soon as they met, he was scolded by the king by pointing his nose, so that Hun Sen didn't know which thing he had done too much recently, which attracted the king's anger.

It wasn't until Bo Guomo was tired of scolding that he threw the paperwork at Hun Sen's feet, a picture of what good things you have done.

Hun Sen picked up the paperwork with some trepidation, and after seeing what was written on it, he suddenly came to confidence. He is very greedy for money, and he has done a lot of things to cross the line, but the caravan of the Solangon family is definitely not the hand he sent, so at this moment he strongly retorted, and even did not hesitate to use a poisonous curse to show his innocence.

Hun Sen, who raised his neck, looked like he had been wronged by the sky, and in the eyes of Borama, he also began to doubt the truth of the matter. After all, Hun Sen has no reason to lie in front of himself, yes, he is trying to make up for it.

"You really didn't do this?" Although Poramo believed in the seven, he couldn't help but ask with certainty.

"It's definitely not the minister's doing, if it is, the minister is willing to be crushed and burned after death." Hun Sen said fiercely. Of course, he was full of confidence, since the people sent by the Solangon family came, he also deliberately called a few henchmen over, and finally confirmed that these people did not do anything, and everything was wronged. Now that someone is talking about this matter, there is no ghost in his heart, and of course he is not afraid.

"Even if you didn't do it, why did the Solangon family insist that you did it, and therefore let the Lao Province send documents? Could it be that they want to deliberately put the pot on our heads, so that we can't use it? Paramo's eyes kept rolling, contemplating possibilities.

"It must be so, they just want to use troops against our Phnom Penh dynasty. Your Majesty, the mercenaries are extremely ambitious, and this is the reason they are looking for, and we have to guard against it. After hearing what Varamo was saying, Hun Sen immediately echoed it.

"Ahh Sure enough, they, how can they be so deceitful? But why are you looking for us? What are we going to do? It's better for General Hong to be wronged...", and only halfway through the words, Polamo shook his head. Now that he has formed an alliance with the Siam and Ava dynasties, if he expresses his intention to retreat, wouldn't he withdraw from this alliance on his own, in that case, once the mercenaries really choose him as their next target, without allies, what can they do to resist others?

It seems that concessions are impossible, but it is not what Poramo thinks to be tough on this end, and it really attracts the blow of mercenaries. For a while, he couldn't make a decision at all, and when he looked at Hun Sen, who was standing below and still waiting for an order, he waved his hand first, "You go down first." By the way, when people ask you about this, don't say anything, even don't admit it or deny it, just look at the situation. ”

"Oh." Hun Sen responded intentionally. It seems that this matter is bound to have something to do with him, but the king has such an attitude, what else can he do but agree?

Before he could think of a countermeasure, he dragged things out until the envoy of Laos Province asked to see him three times in a row, and the other party left angrily. When he left, he said very domineeringly that if he returned to Laos Province and could not give a satisfactory answer here, then the next time he would not come to the envoy, but the army of the expedition.

The envoy went back, and judging from the words left behind when he left, there was not much time left for the Phnom Penh dynasty, and there were only seven days left, and if there was no decision, it seemed that a great battle was just around the corner.

When he heard that there was going to be a real war, Poramo was really afraid. The military strength of the Phnom Penh Dynasty is only average, and in terms of territory, it is not as large as Laos Province? Once he moves, what will he do to resist the mercenaries?

If you can't fight and fight, if you can't do it, you will bow your head, presumably as long as you bow your head, the other party will have no reason to send troops, although this will be very humiliating, and it will even cause dissatisfaction among the two allies, but does he have any other choice? “

Just when Poramo hesitated, and even tended to give in first and pass the difficulties in front of him, the envoys of the Siamese and Ava dynasties suddenly appeared, and they expressed their approval of the Phnom Penh Dynasty's initiative to attack Lao Province, and also affirmed that if Lao Province was to be unfavorable to the Phnom Penh Dynasty, they would definitely not sit idly by, but would take the initiative to send troops to help, they were originally allies.

Suddenly, with the support of his allies, Borama became a little more confident, but he still couldn't make a decision. But at this time, an unexpected situation appeared for him, and I don't know how, this matter was spread out, and the spread was known to everyone in the country, and a large number of people immediately stood up, saying that they must not bow their heads for the dignity of the country, and they are willing to fight for the country at a critical moment.

After the people asked for war, more nobles and powerful gentry stood up, saying that they must not bow their heads to the groundless accusations of Laos Province. And for this reason, they were willing to pay a large amount of military expenditure to support the king in the first war.

It's good to say that as long as public opinion is well guided, that is, the kind and ignorant people are easy to be used and guided. But why did the nobles also stand up? Puzzled, Parama immediately sent someone to investigate, and soon the results reached his ears. It turned out that these nobles did this not only for profit, but also as a last resort.

It is said that it is because the envoys of Siam and Ava have contacted them in private, saying that as long as they defeat the province of Laos and occupy it, these nobles will share a lot of benefits. I have to do it because I have too many lessons from the past. Whether in Vietnam Province or Lao Province, there are already many noble fields where land has been divided and real estate has been occupied. Once the mercenaries really let the Phnom Penh dynasty also occupy, then these people will be driven to a dead end.

This is indeed the case. In line with the idea that fighting local tyrants and dividing up land is the fastest way to get closer to the people and get the support of ordinary people, both Vietnam and Laos have done this. Many wealthy gentry went bankrupt because of this, and even some had bad grades, and their homes were raided because of this, and their families were arrested and sent to labor camps. But not all the powerful people are targeted in this way, for example, some powerful people who do legitimate business, or inherit the title and rely on their income, because they do not have a lot of land, and they do not do anything evil, but they still maintain the integrity of their strength.

But no one knows that if these people are not targeted now, they will not be liquidated in the future. What if the mercenaries gain a foothold? Will that be a target for them?

No one can say clearly, this scared these magnates of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and with the instigation of someone, they all stood up at the moment, rather than being slaughtered, it is better to fight, in case the mercenaries are defeated? Wouldn't it be that not only would there be nothing to do, but there would also be a lot of benefits to be gained?

Obviously, everyone knows what to do in the middle of this. With that, the people all jumped out and decided to take a gamble.

If it is just the support of the people, Poramo is not worried, the ruler here is him, as long as he gives an order, with the assistance of the army, it is still very easy to suppress some people. But with the participation of these powerful people, it is completely different, these people's forces are intertwined, and if they don't make a good one, even his throne will be in jeopardy, and these people must not be offended. Or that his superiority is inseparable from the support of these people.
