Such an important decision involving hundreds of thousands of people must be personally approved by Li Nan, the emperor of the empire, so these courtiers came to the palace with the latest plan to be discussed.
Although Li Nan was advancing on the road of fainting monarch during this period of time because of his cultivation of the exercises, when he heard the arrival of several important ministers of the military, he hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes and came to the Qianqing Palace.
After taking the thick battle plan, Li Nan carefully flipped through it, got up and came to the map of the empire's territory hanging on the wall, frowning and pondering.
According to the plan of Luda and others, the empire dispatched 300,000 patrols to reinforce the Huainan battlefield, and the balance of war strength between the three kingdoms will change immediately.
The benefits of this are obvious, but Li Nan, as the head of a country, must look down on the overall situation.
The reason why the empire placed as many as 600,000 patrolmen in the northwest was to guard against the Chenla Empire and the Bagan State.
The Zhenla Empire once sent 100,000 troops to attack the empire, although it has been relatively quiet recently, but Zhenla, who has nearly 200,000 war elephants, is definitely not to be underestimated, and Li Nan has to take care of this country.
Bagan, another neighboring country, has not been established for a long time, but like every country at the beginning, the founding masters are heroes and heroes.
In 1044, Anuradha ascended the throne as king, at that time, various forces in the Bagan region competed for hegemony, Bagan was still very backward, but Anuradha had the heart to save the country, and actively developed outward, and soon raised troops to the south, captured Luo Hu, and destroyed the Zhitong country.
Although Anuradha died unexpectedly, there was chaos in the country, and the general Jiang Xituo finally inherited the throne of Bagan, but the country has 100,000 troops, like a jackal dog with its fangs exposed, looking for new prey.
Li Nan pointed to Chenla and Bagan on the map, and asked Varys and Ludia, who were in charge of intelligence, "Are these two countries still quiet recently?" The safety of the people of the empire is the most important, if the patrol troops are hastily dispatched, is it dangerous? β
Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Varys hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, neither Chenla nor Bagan should be worried! β
Varys stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty still remembers that back then, the 160,000 troops of the Zhenla Kingdom attacked the empire, but they were defeated by the army led by the Holy Lord in Shanluo City. β
Although not many years have passed since this incident, Li Nan recalls the war of that year, but he feels like a world away.
"Well, I remember that." Li Nan said with emotion: "If it weren't for the coincidence, there happened to be a secret weapon to restrain the real elephant soldiers, and they were really not their opponents. β
"This is Your Majesty's blessing, Zhenla is the enemy of our empire, and it is bound to fail."
Hearing Varys's compliments, Li Nan scolded with a smile: "It's not the first day we met, and we won't talk about this kind of nutritious words in the future, if it weren't for the soldiers' lives, Hongfu alone wouldn't be able to stop the elephant soldiers of Zhenla." β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Varys smiled and continued, "The Holy Lord is entangled in everything, so I guess I don't know what happened after the defeat of Jinla. β
There were a lot of things during that time, and Li Nan remembered that he had just defeated the Zhenla Empire and went to deal with the five-way soldiers and horses led by Zhang Shuye of the Song Kingdom, so he nodded and said, "Well, I really don't know. β
Speaking of the changes in the Zhenla Empire after the war, Ludia, who was in charge of foreign affairs of other countries, said: "In the battle of Shanluo, the generals of Zhenla, Marato and Godan Weiming, retreated and surrendered, not only signed the "Shanluo Secret Treaty", and took 50,000 war elephants and 10,000 elephant slaves as compensation for the defeat, but the two of them inevitably leaked the matter, but also killed all the guards and generals who knew about it and were loyal to the lord of the country. β
"After Marato and Godanwei returned to China, they were accused and reproached by the prince of Zhenla and the domestic orphan branch, Gao Xiangyi, Po He Duoling, Shemo Ling, Hu Duolou and other ministers, in order to save their lives, the two generals simply killed all the domestic royal family and these ministers, and the means were very vicious, and since then Zhenla has been divided into two and divided ...... by the two."
Li Nan, who was busy with other things, really heard about what happened in the Zhenla Empire for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, it seems that no country is at peace for the sake of rights.
Looking at the slight smug look on the faces of Varys and Ludia, Li Nan said clearly: "It seems that you must have done something to make a move, so you are sure that Zhenla will not send troops to make trouble, right?" β
"Your Majesty is wise!" After the two of them praised in unison, Varys, who was in charge of carrying out the matter, said: "Marato and Godanway are very spicy in Jinla, so there are many people loyal to the royal family, who have rebelled and revolted everywhere. Not only that, in order to compete for the wealth and territory of Zhenla, the two sides also attacked repeatedly, so the minister just used some Zhenla people who were dissatisfied with the two of them, and helped them easily, so he stabbed Marato, and by the way, pointed the finger at Godanway......"
It didn't take for Varys to finish speaking, Li Nan understood that these Zhenla people in Indochina, who were still in a slave society, would definitely not be able to resist Varys, a guy who had lived in the court of the Ice and Fire World for a long time, and it was estimated that Marator and Godanway would not know the role of the empire in it until they died.
"Okay, Jinla looks like she's going to fight right away, but what about Bagan?"
"Bagan is simpler."
Varys, who knows people's hearts very well and is familiar with people's expectations, said proudly: "Anuruda, the lord of Bagan, was killed by a bison, and it was originally the crown prince Shura who succeeded him. However, when Shura sent troops to attack Yemangan, he was captured in the rebellion in the Pigu region, and Jiang Xituo, the general of the Bagan Kingdom and Shura's brother-in-law, fled back to Bagan, and later led his troops to defeat Yemangan, but he inherited the throne of Bagan......"
"That's it! That's it! Hearing Varys talk about these brothers and friends killing each other, Li Nan couldn't help but say with some interest: "It seems that Zhenla and Bagan don't have time to make trouble, so let's transfer troops according to your plan." β
Ruda, the first person in the current imperial military, has a straightforward personality and is the most unaccustomed to all kinds of intrigues, but these things planned by Varys and Ludia did save the empire a lot of trouble, although he himself disdains these things, but he has nothing to say for the sake of the country.
Now hearing that Li Nan agreed to the proposal to transfer troops, Luda immediately stood up and responded loudly: "Yes!" β
Li Nan thought about it for a moment and added: "After all, the patrol guards rarely see battle formations, so I ordered Starbucks and the others to let them be in charge of garrisoning the city first, and give them some time to adapt." β
"Your Majesty is merciful and sage, and the ministers know that they will definitely take it step by step to minimize the losses of the imperial soldiers."
The matter of transferring troops and reinforcements was decided, and Luda and the others were just about to leave, but Varys hesitated for a moment, but still took out a secret letter and handed it to Li Nan himself.
After reading this secret letter, Li Nan's face quickly became heavy.
