Chapter 446 Zhan Ren's Last Stand

Chapter 467 A Red Face and a White Face
Tobu Jin stammered and said: "This... This Dazhanhaikou was originally our territory! The Annan people took it from us before, and now we have taken it back. How can it be regarded as Annan's territory?" What about human territory?"

"Oh? I don't like to hear that. According to what you say, it's not up to you here, because according to your idea, whoever occupies this place is whoever decides, so now we occupy this place, so we should It belongs to us, and it’s not your turn to cede it to us. Well, let’s stop talking, we didn’t want to be enemies with you, and we helped you a lot in the past. You turned against us and sent troops to attack us ungratefully. You can really do such a thing if you occupy the king. To the point of death, you Zhanwang are simply pig brains, do you think we are so easy to bully? Now that we are hurting you, and you are afraid of the beating, you just realized that this matter is your fault, come to ask us to let you go, don't you As a minister of the Champa Kingdom, don't you blush at all?"

Tobkin really blushed. They really did too much in this matter of occupying the king. They didn't even say hello to their ministers, so they sent Di Polo to attack Toulon. Not only did they fail to take Toulon, but It ended in annihilation of the entire army, and the result was to completely irritate the other party, and gave them a drudgery, and fought a good battle into what it is now, leaving them in a dilemma. Representatives of the Champa Kingdom came to beg people to let them go, shame on them!It's really embarrassing!Even the attendants he brought were so ashamed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground and forget it, but Tobkin knew that at this time it was they who were begging for others, not when others were begging them, so he could only sigh, Under the eaves, the underworld people have to bow their heads!

Then he clasped his fists at Qian Gui and said, "Please calm down this general. This matter is indeed our fault, but a big mistake has already been made. Give us a chance. Our king also knows that we are wrong. I hope we can make peace with your army." Turn hostility into friendship, from now on we will never invade again, and we will be forever good!" When he said this, he always felt a little awkward, he represented a Champa country, and the other party was just a bunch of pirates, originally this should be What was said during the negotiations between the two countries, it feels awkward to say it here.

"You said it wrong again. Now it's not that we don't invade each other, but that we want to continue to invade you. You start, but let us have an end, right? We have already planned, and from now on we will favor you Enemy, the capital of your Champa Kingdom seems to be Champa, it should not be far from the sea, you King Zhan had better hurry back and wait there for us to trouble you, just wait for us to see !” Qian Gui said still unrelentingly.

Qian Gui's words were full of threats, which made Tobkin and other Zhan people feel chilling. What he said was right. Champa is indeed not far from the sea, and now their navy is basically wiped out in Dazhanhaikou. If these skeleton troops really intend to attack them, the Champa Kingdom really has no good way to deal with them. If this is the case, they are really doomed! (Note: Champa is the current city of Quy Nhon, Vietnam! It is close to the sea, and it takes less than two days to arrive from Da Nang!)
"This matter is absolutely impossible! It is absolutely wrong! This matter is indeed our fault. As long as you can appease your army, your army can just ask your conditions. Sincerely, I hope your army will give us a chance!" Tuobu Jin said hastily.

Seeing Tobu Jin's tense expression, Yang Zaixing knew that they were really scared now, and Qian Gui seemed to want to speak harshly, so he stopped Qian Gui and said, "Okay, Qian Gui! Since the envoy has already If we have talked to such an extent, we always have to give others a half point, don't talk anymore, let's just listen to how they plan to resolve this dispute!"

Qian Gui heard what Yang Zaixing said, so he nodded and didn't continue to speak harshly. He found a chair and sat down, and Yang Zaixing turned to Tuobu Jin and said, "Since your words reach this point, we are not It's completely unreasonable, but we want to hear how you plan to deal with this matter, since you want to calm things down, you have to show your sincerity, otherwise, don't talk about this matter!"

Seeing the milder expression on the general's face, Tobkin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he was afraid that people would not talk to them, so he continued to work. As long as they were willing to talk, things would turn around, so he hurried He saluted Yang Zaixing again: "Thank you, General, we have indeed come here with sincerity, and we have also heard about the agreement reached between your army and An Nanguo. If your army is willing, we can also compensate your army. The loss, to resolve this matter, is just that our Champo country is not as good as Annan country. We have been bullied by Annan people for years, and our national strength is far inferior to Annan. "

Yang Zaixing looked embarrassed, frowned and asked him, "Then based on what you've seen, how much can you compensate us now?"

This really stumped Tobkin. Yang Zaixing's question was tantamount to asking him to report his family name and tell others how much money he had in his pocket. It was really difficult to answer this question. God knows how much Zhanwang saved in his pocket. It’s really difficult for him to say it, but now he has to say it, if he asks the other party to say it, once they open their mouths, he will not be able to pay back the price, so he gritted his teeth and said: Looking at our current situation, so many years of fighting have left our treasury empty, and now we can only take out about 10 taels of silver..."

After Qian Gui listened, he immediately slammed on the table and shouted: "Forget it, Brother Yang, let's stop talking to them. They don't have any sincerity at all. Let's fight by ourselves and clean up their small town. I'm afraid If you search for more than this number, if you take down their Champa, it will probably be enough for our loss this time!"

When Tobu Jin heard Qian Gui's name, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Wait a minute, it's not that we are insincere, but that our treasury is indeed empty now. Our Champo country is not like Annan. We are composed of more than a dozen small countries. We Your Majesty is far less wealthy than King Annan, otherwise, how about we offer 20 taels of silver?"

Qian Gui glared and said angrily, "Do you really think we are beggars? A majestic king of yours can only give 20 taels of silver, are you lying? No way! There is no door!"

Yang Zaixing also shook his head and said: "It's really too little, it's really too little. If this is the case, I don't think there is any need to talk about this matter. If not, please come back!"

Tuobu Jin was really impatient, and exclaimed: "Wait a minute! I really can't make up my mind on this matter. If your army proposes conditions, I will take them back to our king immediately and ask him to make a decision. After all, I am just an envoy. I hope you won't be embarrassed!" His voice was almost crying, he has always been known as the most eloquent person in Champa, but he didn't expect to be forced to be like this here today, it really made him a little I want to cry but have no tears!
"I heard you say it's so pitiful, forget it! I'll give you a chance! Brother Yang, how about letting them compensate us with 40 taels of silver, and then give us a thousand war elephants and two thousand war horses? Champa National University There are a lot of elephants, so there should be no problem! There are also spices..." Qian Gui finally opened his mouth like a lion.

After listening to Qian Gui's words, Yang Zaixing nodded in agreement, and said to Tobkin and the others: "If you are sincere, you can follow this requirement. This is our minimum requirement. less!"

After listening to the words of the two of them, the Zhan people almost fainted. This is a lot of wealth!Can they really get it?But looking at the expressions on the faces of Yang Zaixing and Qian Gui, they knew that there was absolutely no room for them to bargain over this matter, so Tobkin had no choice but to say: "In that case, please allow us to report back to our lord immediately, let our lord Make a decision, but we don't know what the current situation of our Jiangbei army is, can we send someone to investigate?"

Yang Zaixing nodded and said: "Yes! Your army is now confronting the Annan army in the Jiangbei area. There is no problem, but I think you should answer our request as soon as possible, otherwise, you will not dare to say what will happen after a long time. There is a problem! If you agree to our request, we will not only let your army retreat southward, but also mediate between the two countries, and stop the war so that you can rest for a while. This is another reward we can give you! That's all we talked about today! You can go back!"

Tobkin had no choice but to leave the big tent with a few entourages, and then ordered a few guards to rush to the camp of their Jiangbei army under the leadership of the Fubo Army, and they boarded the boat arranged for them by the Fubo Army After crossing the river, they returned to the south bank, and hurriedly rushed to their camp on the south bank to return to their orders.

When the Zhanren envoy was taken to board the ship after leaving the big tent, Xu Yi laughed and walked in from behind the tent, pointed at Yang Zaixing and Qian Gui and said with a smile: "Not bad! Very good! You two Singing bad faces and singing red faces, the cooperation is quite tacit, I think that guy called mop cloth is almost made to cry by you! Haha!"

At this time, the others also returned to the big tent, and laughed together with Xu Yi, Qian Gui chuckled and said, "Whoever asked them to provoke us, deserve it! It's too cheap for them!" Everyone heard it I laughed again.

After Tobkin landed on the south bank with his entourage, he hurried back to Abu Alan's place without stopping. He saw Abu Alan in the big tent, and Abu Alan was wandering around in the big tent impatiently to see them coming back. , and immediately asked: "How did you go to talk? Did they agree?"

Tobkin's face almost fell to the ground, and he replied submissively, "This... this..."

"What is this! Tell me quickly!" Abu Alan asked eagerly.

"No! They didn't agree!" Tobu Jin finally choked out a sentence.

Abu Alan said angrily: "Didn't agree? Why didn't they agree? Are they still not satisfied when we cede Dazhanhaikou to them? What exactly do they want to agree to?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, let's listen to what Tobkin has to say about their trip!" said Abu Alan's uncle who was sitting beside him.

Abu Alan took a deep breath, turned around and sat on the king's couch, and said to Tobu Jin, "Just tell me, what conditions did those damned skeleton soldiers put forward?"

So Tobkin had no choice but to tell Abu Alan the result of the negotiation. After he finished speaking, Abu Alan bumped his head on the king's couch and passed out again. As a result, his chest was patted and his back beat again. , After tossing and tossing for a while, I finally woke up, opened my eyes and shouted: "Skeleton Army! Skeleton Army! You really bullied me too much!"

Tobkin stood below without speaking, waiting for Abu Alan to calm down. Abu Alan blushed a little after being poured a few sips of water, and shouted to Tobkin: "I don't agree, you go and tell them , I don’t agree! They don’t want to take half a tael from us!”

At this time, another guard from outside reported: "Your Majesty! The people sent by Lord Tobkin to the Jiangbei Camp have returned and said that there is something urgent to see the King!"

Abu Alan's heart twitched suddenly, he put the matter aside, and hurriedly shouted: "Let him in quickly!"

A follower sent by Tobu Jin quickly ran into the big tent from outside and knelt down and said to Abu Alan: "See the king, the little one just came back from the Jiangbei camp, and I have something important to report to the king!"

"Stop rambling! Tell me how is the situation over there now?" Abu Alan asked anxiously.

"Reporting to Your Majesty! The Jiangbei Camp is currently being attacked by the Annan Army. The soldiers there fought desperately and defeated the Annan Army's onslaughts several times. But now their rations are less than three days old. If they can't send them food and supplies after a few days, they will be unable to hold on! General Zanbuer ordered the villain to report to the king, and asked the king to find a way to get through the river and deliver food and grass for them. He also asked the king to send reinforcements quickly. Otherwise, they will never survive five days!" The man leaned on the ground and hurriedly reported to Abu Alan.

Hearing what he said, Abu Alan breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then his heart ached again. In five days, how could he get through the river in five days?Now that he doesn't even have a decent boat in his hands, should he let the soldiers set up bamboo rafts to fight the warships of the skeleton army on the river?joke!There are no doors!That is tantamount to letting one's own people commit suicide by jumping into the river!

"Report! Your Majesty! General Tubofanbu from the south has sent a messenger to the camp to ask to see the king!" Before Abu Alan could make a decision, the guards outside reported again.

Abu Alan was going to be annoyed to death, why did Tubo Fanbu, who was deployed on the border of Chenla Kingdom, come to join in the fun at this time!He was already annoyed enough that he wanted to come at this time, so he said impatiently: "No, let him wait, I don't have time to see him now!"

Not long after, the outside shouted again: "Your Majesty, General Tubo Fanbu's messenger said that there is really an urgent military situation that needs to be reported to His Majesty immediately, without delay! Please see Your Majesty!"

Abu Alan's heart twitched suddenly again, what important military situation could there be in Chenla, why do you have to see him now?Could it be that something happened there too!So I had no choice but to say, "Then let him in!"

A messenger, covered in mud, walked quickly into the big tent from the outside. After seeing Abu Alan, he knelt down and said, "My lord, General Tubo Fanbu has important military reports!"

Abu Alan waved his hand and said, "Say!"

"A few days ago, when our army was patrolling the border between our country and Chenla, a soldier made a mistake when he tried to shoot a crossbow arrow. The crossbow arrow just hit a general in Chenla who was on the other side of the border. This incident aroused the anger of the king of Chenla. Gathering heavy troops on our border, there are hundreds of war elephants alone. Although our general has explained this to Chenla and killed the pawn who shot by mistake, the country of Chenla is not satisfied. It seems that we are going to use troops against us. Now we have a limited number of defenders in the south. The general ordered me to rush to the king to ask for help. Please the king quickly mobilize troops to support us! If Chenla sends troops to attack us, the general's strength Not enough to resist them! Please make a quick decision, the king!" the messenger said hastily.

As soon as his words fell to the ground, the people in the big tent immediately turned pale with fright. Now they are really afraid of what will happen. It is simply that misfortunes never come singly. The matter with the Annan Army and the Skeleton Army is not over yet, and another incident happened in Chenla , everyone was one head and two big. Abu Alan shook his head and almost didn't get down. After taking a deep breath for a while, he stabilized his mind and forced himself to wave his hand to make the messenger back down. Chen asked: "What should I do? Damn it! Damn it!"

Suddenly there was no sound in the big tent. This sudden news made everyone feel a little hopeless. If this continues, their Champa Kingdom is really in danger!
"My lord! The current situation does not allow us to hesitate any longer. Now we have to end this battle with the Annan people as soon as possible, and then prepare our troops and send troops to support Tubofanbu. Otherwise, if Chenla attacks us, With the current military strength in the south, it is impossible to stop the Chenla army, please make a decision early!" A minister said cautiously.
