Indra II's words refer to the withdrawal of the Song court from the Song-Vietnam border twenty-five years ago, which led to the beginning of Jiaozhi's dedication to dealing with the Champa state.

This is an inexplicable misunderstanding, at that time, the epidemic alone had caused more than half of the Song army's casualties, and at the same time, it was a hot summer, and the Song army did not dare to continue to advance.

In addition, the grain and grass of the Song army were exhausted, and there was only a river between it and Jiaozhi, but it could not enter. Guo Kui, the commander at that time, was also very unhappy in his heart, and the lives of 100,000 soldiers and civilians could only be ended in this situation.

And after the truce with Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi found another reason to start a war with the city of Zhancheng, which had taken the opportunity to occupy a lot of their own land.

Champa is not the opponent of Jiaozhi, and the Song army has no reinforcements, so it comes and goes, and Champa can only cede land and sue for peace.

The impact on Champa is very huge, and the land of Champa along the seashore is a '1', one less piece, that is, there is really one less piece. There is no so-called detour to recapture that piece of land, and there is only one way to fight between Cochin and Champong, and that is to fight head-on.

Whether at sea or on land, there is only one option for both sides.

Therefore, for the Song Dynasty did not help at that time, most of the people who occupied the city were very angry. Only a small number of people kept their sanity, knowing that Da Song was also running out of ammunition and food, and they were powerless.

But they were a minority after all, and under the influence of the king, the upper and lower classes of the Zhancheng State had a decreasing favorability towards the Great Song Dynasty.

When Indra II finished saying this, the ministers standing on either side looked at him angrily.

The deputy envoy still has some guts, but he can only do it to keep his body from trembling. He looked at Zhang Jingming and found that the young figure was still upright, and his body was not trembling. Could it be that he, like himself, is trying his best to control himself?

"Dear King of Champ, what you say is indeed biased.

The trouble was not brought to you by our Song Kingdom, but by your bad neighbors, the Jiaozhi people. ”

Zhang Jingming said without humility or arrogance, the deputy envoy was very shocked, how could this young man have such courage? ! When he said this, wasn't he afraid of angering the other party and then being hacked to death by the other party?

What the deputy envoy didn't know was that Zhang Jingming, who had experienced the Battle of Xiaoguan, was like child's play with the threat in the eyes of these people in front of him.

When he was in Xiao Guan, even he fought with the Tangut people with a knife for two days.

Sure enough, Indra II was furious when he heard this. slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the Song people who didn't save them when they saw death, why would my Zhan Po fall into such a situation now?"

When the ancestors fought against Jiaozhi, they conquered the city and conquered the city, and they were invincible. Three hundred miles north of Hengshan Pass, all belong to my Cham!

And since I beat you Song people for their treachery, they are familiar with my Cham soldiers

Regardless of it, the area of 300 miles was seized by the Jiaozhi people. We can only defend Hengshan Pass, do you know how many of my Cham people died in this battle? How many were captured?

Untrustworthy villains dare to speak out, is it true that I am a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others? ! ”

The deputy envoy could not hold back anymore, and Indra II himself was fierce, and his expression was slightly distorted in anger.

Not to mention these menacing words, which made him instinctively feel a trace of fear.

Although the envoys who are qualified to send envoys to other countries must have a big heart. But at the moment, it is clear that these Champs are not very friendly to themselves. It's not as good as Western Xia, it's not as good as Liao, it won't tear its face, and the envoy will not suffer 100%.

If you let these outlanders kill them here, wouldn't it be a great grievance?

The deputy envoy couldn't help but step back and cling to the guards behind him.

This scene was not missed by Indra II, who was closely watching the reactions of several people, who narrowed his eyes and was about to press further when he saw the young man take a step forward.

"If the king still has reason, he should have a word, and the king might as well listen to it." Zhang Jingming smiled with a smile.

Was Indra II really angry? The answer, of course, is false.

No matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to make a move against the envoys of the Song Kingdom. At present, the United Song State can still contain its own enemy, Jiaozhi, but if the Song State is kicked out, even if it is a superficial ally, they are annoyed and angry, and they join forces with Jiaozhi to attack the Champa State, wouldn't the end of the city be close at hand?

Indra II was not a fool, he just hoped that by exerting pressure, the envoys of the Song State would compromise, so that the Song State would give more benefits to the Champa City, nothing more.

Seeing that the young messenger in front of him was not afraid of his own anger, Indra II could not help but admire him a little.

In the entire Champa city, there was not a single one who could withstand his anger at his age. This made Indra II sigh a lot, the Song Kingdom is really a big land, and there are all kinds of talents.

So Indra II nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Say! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Jingming arched his hand, then straightened his waist, took a deep breath and said: "As the king said, when the soldiers of the Zhancheng State defeated Hengshan Pass, our Holy Dynasty did not help.

But does the king know, why didn't we make a move?

In December of the eighth year of Xining, the Jiaozhi army attacked and besieged Yongzhou after conquering Qin and Lian Prefectures. When Yongzhou City can participate in the battle, look at the four thousand people.

After leading the army to resist for 42 days, the ammunition and food were exhausted, and the city of Yongzhou was broken.

After Su Zhizhou left a sentence of self-righteousness and immortality thief, he returned to the office and threw himself into the fire. A total of 37 people in the family, old and young, were all martyred, and Tang Zizheng was sentenced to the same time.

In this battle, 50,000 soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou were slaughtered

Later, Yongzhou City was even demolished to fill the Yongjiang River.

If you talk about the hatred of the Cochin people, this envoy has enough self-confidence not to lose to the king.

After that, General Guo Kuiguo, who led the army to come, will not lose to the king.

But in the end, we had to choose to retreat. Because of the climate in Cochin, we simply can't stand it.

General Guo once pursued the Jiaozhi army to the Fuliang River, and beheaded Prince Hongzhen and Prince Zhaowen. Even so, we have no shame in facing the compatriots who died in Yongzhou. However, the rations were exhausted, epidemics were prevalent, the weather was hot, and miasma was plagued.

It's not that our army is unwilling to send troops, but that our army has also reached its limit.

After that, Jiaozhi sent troops to the king, and we really didn't have time to look south. It is precisely because of this opportunity that Jiaozhi will choose to attack the city of the king.

If the king is able to distinguish between right and wrong and accept good words, presumably the king will deeply sympathize with the words of the envoy. ”

Indra II was shocked by Zhang Jingming's words.

In the past, the envoys of the Song Kingdom were all clever and seductive, relying on a three-inch tongue that could say that the black was white and the white was black, and the entire people of the Zhancheng State were fooled and lame.

But the young envoy of the Song Kingdom in front of him didn't seem to be like this. He seems to be a truth-seeking person, and he does not shy away from what happened in the past, whether it is good or bad, but says it out one by one.

Indra II did not hate people who could speak well, but he preferred people who were practical about things. Zhang Jingming, a young man, is really too hungry for himself.

Just as Indra II was stunned, Li Jue, who was standing solemnly on the side, coughed lightly, waking Indra II from his stunned state.

Looking at the young envoy of the Song Kingdom with a smile in front of him, Indra II couldn't help but ask: "Song people, this king admires you very much, I don't know what your name is?" ”

"Fortunately, the king appreciated it, and I am grateful. Under the surname Zhang, the name is Jingming. Zhang Jingming said with a smile.

"Hmm...... I don't know if you have any thoughts about becoming an official in my Zhancheng country? This king is willing to appoint you as an auxiliary minister of the Champa country, I don't know what your intention is? ”

Auxiliary Minister? The deputy envoy was stunned when he heard this.

This official position in the city of Zhancheng is equivalent to the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. This treatment is not untrue, and even I am a little tempted.

If this proposal is for yourself, you really have to think about it.

But Zhang Jingming didn't hesitate for a moment, and said with a smile: "The king has seen the wrong person, in the Song Kingdom, he is just a grain in the dust."

My Song country is full of talents, and there are many people, all of whom are incomparable. If the king is interested in recruiting auxiliary ministers, he might as well choose from among them, and he is really not suitable for this position. ”
