Chapter 506 Bafarman's Ambition

Chapter 279 Bafarman's Ambition

Bafawarman was originally the prince of Funan, but he married Princess Chenla as a marriage partner, but because of this, he was able to inherit the throne of Chenla after the death of King Chenla.

But he was not satisfied with it. After the death of his father, the old Funan King, he set his sights on the Funan throne again, trying to annex the two countries together through this method.

However, as the orthodox heir of Funan Kingdom, Prince Funan, the brother of King Bafawarman, was naturally unwilling to hand over the throne to others, so the two sides fought a big battle.The final result was that Prince Funan was defeated and fled overseas to establish the Shandi Dynasty. Funan was annexed by Chenla, and Bafawarman became the first king to unify the map of Cambodia.

Such a monarch is naturally wise, but generally wise monarchs are also ambitious at the same time - just a little Funan did not satisfy his ambition, he began to scan around with his aggressive eyes, and finally set his eyes on Lin Yi, who is also a neighboring country.

But Linyi is different from Funan. Although Linyi's strength is only moderate, he is backed by Datang. He is a vassal state of Datang——Chenla is indeed very powerful, but facing Datang, it is still a little bit worse. .

Regarding this point, Baffarvarman is still very self-aware, but he is not reconciled. Seeing the fat in front of his eyes but not being able to eat it, it feels too bad.

It was at this time that the Prince of the Queen's Kingdom sent a note to himself. He had naturally heard of Huyanshanhe's reputation. Bafavalman was indeed very interested in this man who was as ambitious as himself, so After a series of arrangements, the two heroes secretly met in an unknown valley.

The meeting between the two was pleasant, and it was not as sparks splashed as others imagined. Instead, they were sympathetic, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

During the conversation, the two sides had frank exchanges on some topics of concern. On the issue of Nanyang, the two sides also fully exchanged views, which enhanced the mutual understanding. The talks were beneficial... Ah bah, what the hell?

In short, after in-depth exchanges, Bafavalman was surprised to find that the two people had almost the same idea. They both wanted to annex the neighboring countries around them, but they both had to restrain themselves for some reason.

But after two days of discussion on this issue, the wisdom of the two heroes was assembled, and finally there was a solution, which was to kill with a knife.

The goal of Zhenla is Linyi, and Linyi is backed by the Tang Dynasty, which is really not easy to chew on, but Linyi and Datang are ultimately the relationship between the suzerain state and the vassal state, and it is necessary to make the vassal state anger the suzerain state. Although it's not simple, it just takes a little bit of thinking, and it's not impossible as long as it works.

Especially at this time, an unexpected piece of information was seized by his intelligence department, and the contents of this report made Bafavalman determined to sow dissension and kill people with a knife.That is, Lin Yi secretly trained a secret elite troop without everyone knowing. One against ten warriors.

It is precisely because of this elite team that Linyi King Fan Touli's ambitions have greatly increased. He is no longer satisfied with just existing as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and he wants to seek a higher status.

Fan Touli's idea and Bafa Walman's idea coincided with each other. Bafa Walman just sent an envoy to provoke him, and Fan Touli's ambition suddenly swelled. The Baitou Kingdom formed an alliance and aimed at Datang together, and successfully crossed Luofu Prefecture through some strange methods in the early stage, captured most of Huanzhou by surprise, and then turned around and stormed Luofu Prefecture. It is going to take Luofu Prefecture and Huanzhou into the bag.

Ordinarily, such a strategy is correct. Datang's land is too large. If only a little corner is discarded, Datang will not care at all. Even if he cares, he will not send many troops to regain the lost land. , because it is really uneconomical.

If at this time I send troops in the name of punishing Linyi for Datang, not only can I get the land of Linyi, but I can even get the friendship of Datang, and even Datang will further designate myself as the governor of Huanzhou or the governor of Luofu. In this way, not only can the act of occupying Linyi be officially recognized by Datang, but Huanzhou and Luofu Prefecture can also be included in the territory of Chenla.

It's just that Fan Touli is really an idiot, or that the victory easily won by the Linyi army has gone to his head, so that he even gave the order to massacre the city, half of Huanzhou and tens of thousands of people in Luofu Prefecture were killed. Massacred everything... This action completely angered Datang, and Li Zhen, King Yue of the Great Tang, personally led [-] elite soldiers to the south, and the troops were divided into two groups and went straight to Linyi.

I have to say that Li Zhen's 3 people are really terrible, but in less than half a month, they hit the city of Singapura. The idiot Fan Touli was frightened to death. Willing to inherit the throne at this time, pretending to be sick and pretending to be dead, so that the throne finally fell to a woman, it is really embarrassing enough.

When Linyi was destroyed, Bafavalman was angry and frightened. He was angry because he had worked so hard for so long, but the peaches were picked by Datang.What's frightening is that although his small actions are very subtle, with the power of Datang, if he really wants to investigate, he will definitely find out some clues.

And his actions will definitely anger Datang——as the super overlord who dominates the world, Datang's majesty is absolutely inviolable.But now he not only violated Datang's dignity, but even played tricks on Datang like a monkey. This nature is much more serious than Fan Touli's massacre of the city.If you really want Datang to find out the truth of the matter, I believe that it won't be long before you will be greeted by Datang's boundless anger.

And at this moment, Luo Tianyuan came to visit him, and the news they brought just confirmed his guess——Da Tang was really angry. After killing Lin Yi, Li Zhen had already made up his mind to sweep Nanyang's order quickly mobilized 20 troops from China to sail to Nanyang by sea.

What Li Zhen did next made Baffavarman's heart completely chill - Li Zhen actually demoted all the citizens of the entire Linyi Kingdom into slaves.

It's just that the two prefectures of Datang were massacred, and the people of one country have to apologize for the people of these two prefectures. If I lose the battle, what will happen to Chenla?

Tu country?

Bafarvalman no longer dared to think about it...

Chapter 507 Five Thousand War Elephants, What a Great Handwriting

Chapter 2 Eighty Five Thousand War Elephants, What a Great Handwriting

However, Baffavarman is a generation of heroes after all, and it is obviously not his character to sit and wait for death.

Even if he is destined to be defeated, he must rise up and resist, and bite off a piece of Datang's flesh, so that Datang knows what pain is, and let him know that he is not easy to mess with.

As for the people who reported to him, Bafavalman naturally knew that they reported to him with ill intentions, and wanted to use his own hands to kill Li Zhen.

But Bafavalman is more aware that he has no choice. Even if he does not shoot Li Zhen, he will not be able to escape Datang's strangulation in the end. It means, because the longer the delay, the more prepared Datang will be, and the stronger Li Zhen's combat power will be.

Even now, 10,000+ troops have already landed in Linyi, and another 20 troops are on their way. Once Li Zhen is asked to gather these more than [-] troops, plus his [-] young army... when the time comes It's not a question of whether to take the initiative to attack or not, but to wait in the nest and wait for when Datang will come to the door.

So in order to protect himself, and also to give Datang a ruthless hand, Bafavalman quickly assembled the 10,000+ hundred-fighting soldiers under his command, and conscripted more than 20 troops through a large conscription, adding up to a total of 40 troops , This gave him a little confidence.

But this is still not enough. To be able to sweep Linyi with an army of less than [-], the youth army under Li Zhen's command is not weak at all.

It was at this time that Bafavarman turned his attention to the group of uninvited 'allies' - I know that you and Li Zhen are deadly enemies, and I also know that you want to use my hand to kill Li Zhen Zhen, but just relying on the friendship of reporting the letter, you want Li Zhen and I to fight each other, but you are taking advantage of it behind your back... How can there be such a good thing in this world?

If you don't show a little sincerity, then I would rather take the blame and beg Datang for mercy... At least in this way, there is still a possibility for us to survive in Chenla, and my family may also have a good end. Is it coming to launch a decisive charge against Datang?

Luo Tianyuan naturally didn't care about Bafarman's implicit threat. Please, if you give in so easily, if you are really so easy to be soft.Who else has the guts to use Datang's sword to cut Lin Yi?Where else can Funan be annexed?How could he have the guts to summon an army of 40 to fight against Datang? ...

However, although I know that this is all a threat from Bafarman, the aristocratic family and Confucianism (in the future, it will be called the anti-Li Zhen alliance. It seems a bit too low for the aristocratic family and Confucianism to say so, let alone Buddhism and other sects in the future. The faction joined it) still readily agreed, promising that it will definitely contribute to this war, and it will also contribute vigorously.

The reason why the anti-Li Zhen alliance accepted Chin Favarman's threat so readily was because they knew very well that Li Zhen was not easy to mess with. If there is a fight, at most it will be a half-battle with Li Zhen-if you can fight with 40 people and 3 people in Zhenla, even if Li Zhen loses in the end, it will be an honor to lose.

After all, in history, although there are examples of battles in which fewer enemies win more and fewer enemies are more numerous, most of them were done by tricks, such as the famous Battle of Chibi and Feishui.

However, there are only two cases in the thousands of years of Chinese history that really rely on a small number of troops to fight hundreds of thousands of troops and win the battle, and they are all completed by one person-the Battle of Julu and Battle of Pengcheng.

The former Xiang Yu defeated the 40 Qin army of Qin General Zhang Han Wangxin with an army of tens of thousands, and the latter defeated Liu Bang's 56 army with [-] people in just half a day...

But there are only these two examples, and there is only such a Xiang Yu, and the rest are controversial (such as the battle between Yin and Jin, which also won more with less, and it was also a confrontation with clear swords and bright spears. 50 from the Qin army, but because this battle was not included in the "Historical Records", the authenticity is still open to question, so I will not talk about it. There is also the Battle of Kunyang, where the traverser Wang Mang fought against the son of the plane Liu Xiu, This is even more outrageous, Wang Mang's hundreds of thousands of troops were purely killed by Liu Xiu's meteorite summoning technique, what does it have to do with the army...).

If Li Zhen can really fight with the 40 army of Chenla with [-] people, then even if all the [-] young soldiers are killed in battle, no one will say that Li Zhen is a loser, but will praise Li Zhenchun. , Iron-blooded man.Not only will Li Zhen's reputation not be damaged, but her own prestige can be improved a lot. This is not what the anti-Li Zhen alliance wants to see.They would rather Li Zhen's reputation be ruined, so go to hell with the same death and half-heartedness.

Therefore, on the one hand, it is to damage Li Zhen's reputation, and on the other hand, it is also to appease Bafa Warman and let him fight Datang. First of all, Confucianism showed its own trump card - five thousand well-trained elephant.

As we all know, although elephants are not small in courage, after all, their bodies are placed there, but it is a big mistake to say that elephants are as stupid and bold as brother Pingtou, and no one is afraid.Elephants are vegetarian animals after all, they usually like to be quiet, and the most important thing is not to be frightened, otherwise, if they really make them go crazy and charge, the scene...you can imagine the scene when the tanks charge.

Therefore, although Nanyang has always had the custom of raising elephants, there are also many insightful people who want to use elephants in military affairs, especially if they are concentrated to charge. In ancient times when there were no hot weapons, only bed crossbows or catapults were available. threatened it.

But because of the shortcoming that elephants are timid and cannot be frightened, the cultivation of elephant cavalry has always been half the effort with half the effort. Although there are occasional successful breeding, the number is extremely rare. More often, elephants are used as supply troops.

So when he saw [-] well-trained war elephants standing in front of him, Baffarman, who was shocked by the momentum, collapsed in courage at that time, patted his chest and promised-don't worry, there are After losing these five thousand elephant soldiers, if I don't beat out Li Zhen's shit, I won't be the king anymore, and I might as well just go back to the countryside and farm.

However, it can also be seen how powerful the anti-Li Zhen alliance is, how strong the hatred for Li Zhen is, and the painstaking efforts that have been cultivated so hard can be given away as soon as they are given away.

Chapter 508 Training Method of Elephant Soldiers

Chapter 281 Training Method of Elephant Soldiers

This is just a gift from Confucianism. The aristocratic family and the Buddhist sect have yet to use their trump card. Although I don’t know what it is, but in terms of value or destructive power, it should not be below [-] war elephants. It seems that the anti-Li Zhen alliance is really going to Li Zhen hated him so much that she would not give up until he was put to death.

Bafarvalman was also shocked and inexplicable, how did Li Zhen offend you?So that you spent such a large amount of money to kill him?

However, compared to this question, another question in Bafavalman's heart is more eager to get an answer, that is, how did Confucianism cultivate so many elephant soldiers?This is not an easy job, it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also expensive.

After all, it is very easy to collect [-] elephants. At this time, elephants are not protected animals for later generations. You can basically find elephants if you go to any house. If you want to buy them, you can collect [-] elephants. The elephant is still very simple.But if you want to train [-] elephants into qualified war elephants, the difficulty is not ordinary.

However, Bafavalman also knew that this was a secret of others, and it was impossible to tell him, so after a few insinuations, he gave up his plan to get to the bottom of it, and began to think about how to use the five thousand war elephants more reasonably.
