This summer, the Zhenjiang army has not made much movement.

In addition to training every day, scouts are sent to investigate. And so on until August.

When the cool autumn breeze first came to Yongzhou, Tang Ning knew that the time had come.

Of course, the Jiaozhi people have not been idle in these three months. According to the information of Wu Desi, the Jiaozhi people sent several waves of envoys to the two countries of Khmer and Chenla to ask for support.

The wording is also very heartwarming, and that's what I said.

"Jiaozhi is a barrier to hinder the Great Song Dynasty, if Jiaozhi is defeated, the gateway to Annam will be opened.

Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? As the saying goes, the lips are dead, and the teeth are cold! ”

To be honest, if Tang Ning was in the Khmer, Tang Ning would also be tempted and would also send troops to assist Jiaozhi.

Twenty-five years ago, after gaining the upper hand in the First Song-Vietnam War, they began to do whatever they wanted in Annam.

Not only the Champa nation, but also the Khmer people were devastated by the Cochins. In the past, these two countries once jointly attacked Jiaozhi, but Li Changjie was really a genius in Jiaozhi, and Li Qiande was also a rare Ming monarch in Jiaozhi.

With the joint efforts of the monarch and the ministers, the attack of these two countries was defused by Jiaozhi, and although it paid a certain price, the national strength of Jiaozhi to win this war became stronger and stronger.

The Annam area is no longer a three-legged stand, but a hall of words in Jiaozhi. As a result, the Khmer re-embarked on the road of division, and some of them occupied the land as kings, defected from the Khmer, and called themselves Chenla.

This time, Jiaozhi sent an envoy to ask for assistance, and the Zhenla people drove the messenger out of the country with a bombardment. On the contrary, the Khmer people wanted to curry favor with Jiaozhi, so they sent 30,000 troops to help participate in the war between Jiaozhi and Song, and handed over the command of these 50,000 people to the Jiaozhi people, which was really a loss of power and humiliation of the country.

As a result, disputes broke out again within the Khmer, and the previous split in the Khmer was due to the opposition of some people to Cochin. However, the Khmer king adopted the advice of the Lord and the faction, and did his best to grovel.

That's why these people defected and ruled with the Khmer lords and factions. They call themselves Zhenla people, and every day they scold the Funan people on the opposite side of the border as eggless girls, and the Funan people also scold them as savage monkeys.

In general, the more chaotic the Annan area, the better it is for Tangning.

It is full of indefinite wax and Khmer, like an indefinite ~ time ~ fried ~ bomb behind the cochin. It's not going to explode if it's not good, and then blow open the back door of Cochin.

The Great Song Dynasty and the cochin animals, the warlike Zhenla people will not turn a blind eye. They will definitely get involved, even if they don't take revenge on Cochin, they will take the opportunity to destroy the Khmer, integrate their forces, and then attack Cochin.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning had to admire Zhao Xu's judgment. He is thousands of miles away in Kaifeng Mansion, so he can take into account all kinds of factors. At the time of the most instability in the Annam region, troops were sent to recruit Jiaozhi.

It's hard to think that this is Zhao Xu's whim, this person's idea of hitting the Shenglong Mansion is definitely not a day or two.

………………

On August 15, the Champa state declared war on Cochin. He said that the Jiaozhi people were cruel and tyrannical and harassed neighboring countries for many years, causing the lives of Annan to be miserable and the people to live in misery.

The king of Champa had great righteousness in his heart, took pity on the people, and made up his mind to get rid of the evil beast of Jiaozhi.

Li Changjie, who had just come to Fuliangjiang, shouted as soon as he heard the news, and the Zhancheng State had sent envoys to give gifts until half a month ago, and he and the emperor relaxed their vigilance against them and concentrated their main forces on Fuliangjiang to deal with the Song army.

Unexpectedly, these bastards were hiding knives in their smiles, and as soon as their envoys left on the front foot, they immediately declared war on the back foot. It's shameless!

Li Changjie was anxious, Hengshan Pass was very important to Jiaozhi. This place was originally the territory of the Champa state, but it was broken and occupied by Cochin a few years ago.

And once the Hengshan Pass is broken, the 150 miles inside the pass will be a zone where there is no danger to defend and no city to follow.

So Li Changjie thought about it for a long time and decided to divide 30,000 troops to support Hengshan Pass, which happened to transfer all the Khmer reinforcements.

However, because this battle came too suddenly, Jiaozhi was defenseless, and the Champa came prepared.

After two days and two nights of capture, the Champong State finally recaptured Hengshan Pass. The whole country celebrated, and on this day, the king of Champa married his seventeen-year-old daughter to Zhang Jingming, a messenger from the Song Kingdom.

On the wedding night, Zhang Jingming's interest was not very high. More than three months ago, after Zhang Jingming learned that the king of Champa wanted to marry his daughter to him, he accepted his fate. It's just that Zhang Jingming still made some efforts, he hoped that he didn't have to welcome the princess, but the princess married him.

Indra II valued Zhang Jingming very much, but he also loved his daughter very much. After thinking about it for a while, he still agreed to Zhang Jingming's request, but he also put forward the same condition.

After learning that Zhang Jingming was once one of the professional soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, he expected Zhang Jingming to help Champa train soldiers.

Zhang Jingming was full of promises, this kind of trivial matter was nothing to him at all.

thought he was going to marry a fierce woman who looked similar to Indra, but later met Princess Champa by chance, and Zhang Jingming found that this princess was unexpectedly beautiful.

Her father was Indra II, while her mother was a Han Chinese. I heard that a wealthy merchant had just bought a beautiful prostitute from a green house, and when he took him to the sea to do business, he was attacked by Cochin pirates. And the sailors of the Champa State happened to patrol and discovered this scene, so they rescued the Song people and wealthy merchants.

Although the personnel on the merchant ship were lucky to survive, the ship was wrecked and the cargo sank. The rich merchant couldn't stand such a blow and committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and the Champa sailor brought the rest of the people back to the country, and the king valued the rich merchant's concubine at a glance, included her in the harem, and gave birth to a daughter, the princess of Champa named Jiang Nian in Han.

Her appearance must have followed her mother's, and her face had the femininity peculiar to Song women. Since she was a child, under the teaching of her mother, even if Jiang Nian was a princess, she did not develop a rude and willful character.

The prostitutes in Qinglou are not ordinary women, they can read and write, and they are even better at playing, playing and singing. Jiang Nian's mother educated Jiang Nian with knowledge, and this is Zhang Jingming's ideal type.

In addition, she also speaks Chinese well, and there is no problem with the communication with Zhang Jingming. And Zhang Jingming's knowledge and temperament also fascinated Jiang Nian, who yearns for Han culture, and the two hit it off.

But Jiang Nian didn't

Thinking of this critical night, Zhang Jingming, who had just commanded the Cham army to win a battle, was sullen.

"Zhang Jun, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Nian asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well?" Do you want me to ask a doctor to take a look? ”

Zhang Jingming held Jiang Nian's hand and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm not feeling well, I'm feeling uncomfortable." ”

"Why?" Jiang Nian was a little aggrieved: "Don't you like me?" ”

Zhang Jingming held Jiang Nian's hand tightly, shook his head and said, "How come, it's not because of this that I feel uncomfortable." ”

Zhang Jingming said, pulling Jiang Nian to the window. When I opened the window, there was an almost frantic commotion outside.

"Princess, it's not me pouring cold water, it's the truth. If you look at the soldiers and civilians of the Champa country, a small victory can make them happy like this.

They are so easily satisfied, what else can I expect them to do? ”

"Why?" Jiang Nian asked puzzledly, "Does Zhang Jun feel that contentment is bad?" ”

"Contentment is indeed a good thing, but it has to be timed. If you are content on weekdays, you can always be happy. At present, Champa is facing a war between countries, and there are still large tracts of land waiting to be seized in front of us.

Just recapturing a Hengshan Pass is exciting, do they still have the ** to continue to move forward?

Sometimes it can hinder people from moving forward, but the best motivation to move forward is precisely people. The need for land, the desire for expansion...... And I don't see that in my father, or in anyone else.

I'm worried! ”

"Zhang Jun, you actually thought about it so much......"

"Eat the king's luck, share the king's worries. My father gave you a marriage to me, and he entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. Now that I am here, it is natural for me to make one decision after another for my father and how to win more benefits in this war. ”

"So the execution of Li Jue is also because of this?" Jiang Nian suddenly asked: "I heard that you took Li Jue to the front line, and then said that he escaped from the battle, so you killed him."

Although my father didn't say anything now, he was very angry, and he would definitely ask you for the reason. ”

"He is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he wants to be a spy in Champang, and he will work with Jiaozhi to destroy Champong, so that Jiaozhi will re-attach importance to his existence." Zhang Jingming suddenly pinched Jiang Nian's chin and said, "But there is more than one reason for me to kill him, who told him to worry about my woman."

And he pesters you all day long, I see that you dare to be angry and dare not speak, so I will slaughter him for you. ”

Jiang Nian's little face flushed, and she said shyly: "Does the princess still want to thank you?" ”

"I'll talk about thank you later, and I'll get down to business first......"

"Yikes! How did you take off my clothes so skillfully...... I thought you were a decent man......"

"Do you know, in our Great Song Dynasty, scholars who haven't been to the Qinglou at the age of fifteen are to be despised."

"Don't touch me! Don't touch me! I'll bite you if you touch me again! ”
