"Champa is also too deceitful," said Li Wensheng, a soldier at the Ministry of War.

Just when Cochin was about to face the biggest crisis, Champa suddenly tore up last year's docility and sent an envoy over again to ask Cochin for the land of the three states.

Taishi Li Daocheng said: "If the country is not strong, the enemy country will be humiliated." ”

"Zhuqing, how to resolve it?" Empress Dowager Yilan asked behind the curtain.

Wang Ju once commented that the little emperor Li Qiande was not simple, but he neglected this woman. The emperor Li Rizun in front of Jiaozhi died, and the seven-year-old Li Qiande succeeded to the throne, and his biological mother Empress Dowager Yilan and Empress Dowager Yang listened to the government, and the Taishi Li Daocheng assisted the government.

The Yang family is the queen of Li Rizun, and the Yilan family is just an ordinary concubine, so the Yang family is the mainstay. The Yilan clan was not convinced, and instigated the little Li Qiande to kill the Yang clan and seventy-six maids.

The Yilan clan is the culprit of the helmet, and of course, this little kid is also ruthless.

Li Wensheng said: "The Empress Dowager, the ministers and others have discussed with Li Taibao (Li Changjie, Jiaozhi's current official system is half the same as the official system of the Tang Dynasty), and first drag the envoy of the city for a period of time, and wait for this battle to be over. ”

"What if I can't win?"

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please move to watch." Li Changjie said on the side with a sharp voice.

Then take them out of Thang Long City.

On the banks of the Fura River, nearly a thousand captives were being held.

Last year, most of the people on the other side were slaughtered by the Jiaozhi people, but some Ding Zhuang women stayed and became slaves. There were quite a few of them, a full 80,000 or 90,000 people, and they once played a significant role in the post-war reconstruction of Cochin.

But this effect was overshadowed by the destruction, which last year was so severe that at least 100,000 people in Jiaozhi died because of the two sweeps. One-third of the area is mostly an important grain-producing area in Cochin. was swept away.

Until before New Year's Day last year. There are also small groups of displaced people who are wandering around, and they have not been wiped out.

With infinite hatred, these slaves were treated poorly.

Until now, all of them are yellow, hungry and thin, and the proportion of yellow is better than their dark skin.

Li Changjie snorted, and the soldiers on both sides drove the slaves to the boat one by one, and then sailed the boat to the center of the river, and then forced them to jump off one by one with weapons.

As a result, they struggled in the river one by one. Just for a moment they were all drowned.

But when the people on both sides saw this, they let out cheers.

It's not that these people are cruel, they hate it too.

Yilan asked, "Li Taibao, what are you talking about with this?" ”

"Queen Mother, many of these people are not good at water, not only these people, including those real Song Dynasty boatmen on the boat, but also many people are not good at water, and the reason why they can control the boat is because they were trained and trained after they got on the boat."

"That's what I said."

"Secondly, it is these maritime merchants who have the support of the young insurance company. There is a lot of wealth, and so many ignorant people on the other side of the sea. And he seems to have an agreement with the emperor of the Song Dynasty. He said that within four years, he would destroy me. It's been more than two years now. As long as these ships are destroyed, the Shaobao will not be able to account to those maritime merchants, and he will also lose the source of military expenses for the use of troops. Even if those maritime merchants support without complaint, it will take a long time to build so many ships. At least in the remaining two years, it will not be able to be built, and if so many ships cannot be built, it will not be able to carry the Yi people on the other side of the sea in a steady stream. ”

"Taibao, you mean that these Yi people are not accustomed to water and are not adapted to the ship, so there are only some sailors to fight at that time, and they can annihilate the enemy......"

"The Queen Mother is wise, the slave maid means exactly that, and it is the root cause, otherwise it will come in a steady stream, it will be destroyed this year, and it will continue next year, and our country will be in danger."

Li Qiande waved his small fist on the side and said, "Taibao, when I grow up, kill all these Song people together." ”

"Your Majesty will definitely be able to do it," Li Changjie said with a pat on the back, but said in his heart that it was not good to kill these Song people again. Then he said: "Queen Mother, but in order to show your determination to fight this battle, don't put Huang Erping to death." ”

Before Jiaozhi used troops to Yongzhou, not all ministers agreed.

It's all the same, there are ministers who are in favor of heavy military opening, and there are ministers who are against opening borders.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, many ministers opposed it.

But this is what Jiaozhi has been planning for a long time, in the past, a small Nong Zhigao almost took down the entire Guangnan, why couldn't Jiaozhi take it. Just a godsend, the Song Dynasty was in drought, and Su Mu did not defend himself, so he sent 80,000 elite soldiers and divided them into three roads to roll south.

However, before he left the boundary of Yongzhou, he was defeated by the local soldiers led by the powerful people from all over the country, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses that were separated.

This result quickly made Li Changjie sober up, and the Song Dynasty may not be as weak as imagined. And after a long delay, the Song Dynasty sent a large army from the rear, and these 80,000 soldiers and horses did not want to go back. So he immediately withdrew, broke Yongzhou, plundered on a large scale, and slowly withdrew his troops.

But the truth Li Changjie won't tell.

Later, Guo Kui used troops, but in fact, he was scared at that time, and this is why he asked to surrender.

But at this time, there was still no division among the ministers in the country, and in the first year of Wang Ju's southward journey, these ministers even ridiculed Wang Ju as a typical Song Dynasty scholar. What is a typical Song Dynasty scholar, who values internal governance and loves the people, but is relatively weak, soft to foreign countries, and soft to barbarians.

But it seemed like this was the case at the time, even the officials and his subordinates were killed, Wang Ju swallowed his anger and never made a move.

Last year, Wang Juzhen's face came out, and he was dumbfounded.

At this time, there was a greater controversy in Jiaozhi, and many ministers brought up the old matter, saying that they should not invade the Song Dynasty in the first place.

This is the same, not only the Song Dynasty, but also the Western Xia side also wanted to fight and want to make peace, and the Liao State was even more.

In particular, the two streams of people invaded and swept over, and this sound was even louder. Although these people swept away, making the Jiaozhi people grit their teeth with hatred, the fault cannot all be the fault of the Song Dynasty, and the cruelty cannot be all the Song Dynasty's cruelty. This is a preemptive strike, and the cruelty comes first. Besides, so many native soldiers in the Song Dynasty have not yet made a move. What's even worse is that these native soldiers, except for a very small number of barbarian children from various mountainous areas in the west of Guangnan East Road, the rest are mostly from Guangnan West Road. But how old was the Song Dynasty?

Guo Kui marched south and killed more than 100,000 people. But most of them are people. Only tens of thousands of soldiers actually died. What harm can be done to the Song Dynasty?

So many people asked to sincerely apologize to the Song Dynasty, instead of the flickering apology like last year, and some even demanded that Li Changjie be handed over, as long as Li Changjie handed over, the Song Dynasty's anger would be extinguished.

Hand over Li Changjie?

These people were miserable, and one by one they were put in a cell, but they were not punished, and they dragged on like this.

Now Li Changjie has finally asked for a request. Demand that these ministers be put to death one by one.

"Then kill it." Yilan said.

More than a dozen pro-Song ministers were quickly beheaded.

Then Li Changjie began to assemble all kinds of ships, many of which had been secretly built last year.

Theoretically, in this battle, Jiaozhi has a great chance of winning. Wang Juxin's fleet arrived at the port of Zhuyajun one after another, because some scouts were sent to Jiaozhi in advance to pretend to be fishermen, so a large number of fleets in front had just arrived, and Jiaozhi received the news in the back, so there was this discussion.

But Jiaozhi knows so much, which shows that Wei Sheng guessed more accurately last year, some soldiers were captured, and there was no way to die in battle. As long as he was captured, although he was also tanned. There are some differences in appearance.

Under severe punishment, pig iron will also become a finger wrapper, and it is a human being.

Some soldiers could not bear the torture, so they confessed. Not just one or two, six people in total. So Jiaozhi got a lot of information, and also communicated with the six captives, and communicated with more natives, and now Cochin also has a set of communication methods with the natives on the other side, so there was last year's Wei Sheng's fiasco.

Of course, it is not enough to have a communication method, so many people continue to flock, and Cochin will face a disaster.

But with these confessions, there is intelligence, and there are ways to deal with it.

That is to take advantage of the poor water nature of these natives, many of them are also turbulent on the ship, and directly start a naval battle with the Song Dynasty before the Song Dynasty's fleet is docked. or go on the ship and slash it, or burn it with fire, or chisel it with a chisel, and destroy this huge fleet with men and ships.

But the battle was not placed in the Zhuya Army, because many ships were temporarily built last year, relatively small, not suitable for sailing too far, and sailing far, the probability of being discovered by the Song Dynasty is high, so the decisive time is after the Song Dynasty fleet departed, when it was about to approach the coastline of Jiaozhi!

However, they didn't expect that Champa actually came to pick up the cheap, but Champa probably didn't know that there would be a sea battle about to kick off, they just saw that the whole country was on guard in Jiaozhi, and guessed that the war between the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi was not over, so they came to pick up the cheap. After all, last year's sweep made the whole country withered, and the strength of Yan zhòng declined.

So this battle became a battle of national fortune in Jiaozhi.

Yilan, Li Gande, Li Daocheng and other monarchs and ministers all came to the dock to see off Li Changjie.

Li Changjie said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Grand Master, everyone, please stay, if this war slave is not successful, you will become benevolent!" ”

As he spoke, he was a little sad to step onto a boat.

In fact, at this moment, he really regretted provoking the Song Dynasty......

But the other Cochin warriors on the ship didn't think much of it, they held their horses, sang strange songs, and prepared to defend their homes with their blood and weapons.

"This is the mourning soldier, and the mourning soldier will win," Mr. Lee said.

One by one, the warships set off.

And in the big prison in the city of Thang Long Mansion, Lu Cheng walked into the cell.

He looked at the man lying on the ground in one of the cells inside, and a glimmer of tears flashed in his eyes.

But he shouted: "Cai Sanfang, hurry up." ”

"Phew, you national thief, traitor, sooner or later Shao Bao will lead the army south and dismantle you," Cai Sanfang turned his head and said contemptuously.

"Let me in." Lu Cheng turned his head and said to the guard.

"General Lu, this prisoner is very vicious, you have to be careful."

"What can he be ruthless like this."

The jailer had no choice but to open the door with the key, Lu Cheng walked in, kicked Cai Sanfang a few times, tortured, Cai Sanfang was not in good health, and he didn't get up to resist, but continued to stare at Lu Cheng with cold eyes.

Lu Cheng was about to be angry, so he bent down, pinched Cai Sanfang's chin with his hand, and said, "Believe it or not, I will kill you at any time." ”

The two guards were also disdainful when they saw Lu Cheng being so humiliated by his former companions, and they turned around and didn't even look at them, maybe they still wished that Cai Sanfang could stand up and fight with Lu Cheng.

"The Cochin army has set out, and it has gone by water." Lu Cheng glanced at the two guards out of the corner of his eyes and whispered.

"Okay, Brother Lu, my family will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, your family will be my family in the future, this is for you," Lu Cheng handed over a small pill, and at this moment he really wanted to cry.

"Hurry up, don't let these two guards find out, both families are waiting for you to live."

"Hmm." After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he stood up and sneered again: "I really don't know what to do." ”

Seeing that Cai Sanfang did not give in, he left the cell unhappily. The two guards looked at his back and snorted.

Lü Cheng went out of the city, and the navy outside the city was gone, only the Fuliang River was flowing quietly, and Lü Cheng went all the way west, and came to a dense banyan forest, where he put a small boat in advance, and covered it with branches hanging on the river. He waded through the river to the lush weeping branches, pushed the boat out, and rowed across the river in the evening glow. It was getting dark, and at last he had rowed to the opposite bank, and then he turned his legs and ran desperately to the north. For the sake of both families, he had to live......
