Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 920 Draw a Circle

The Linyi palace was in chaos.

Numerous court ladies and medical officials came in and out, each looking anxious and flustered.

Fan Fanzhi has been in charge of Linyi Kingdom for 30 years, not to mention his achievements, but at the very least, he has done a good job in treating the people well.Countless people inside and outside the city are praying for the old king, hoping that he can turn bad luck into good luck and get through this difficult time.
It seemed that he felt the expectations of the people, or that the gods and Buddhas did not want him to ascend to heaven so quickly. After being in a coma for a whole day, Fan Fanzhi finally woke up.After regaining his sanity, the first thing he did was to drive away all the maids, medical officers and relatives, leaving only Fan Zhenlong to serve the bed.

"Where is Fang Jun now?"

After drinking the medicine just now, Fan Fanzhi's body was weak and his strength was gone, but his spirit seemed to be quite good.

"The minister will place him in another courtyard in the city, and wait for the father to recover from his illness before discussing the agreement with him."

Fan Zhenlong also looked haggard.

He had to worry about his father's health, face threats from Fang Jun, and appease the ministers of the country. Fan Zhenlong didn't close his eyes all day and all night, and the stubble on his chin protruded. He seemed to have grown old overnight. ten years old.

"Ugh……"

Fan Fanzhi sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and said weakly: "Is there anything else that can be discussed? That Fang Jun was obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob. He was attacked by the Chenla people just now, and more than half of the national army was lost. It's morale plummeting. Once the Tang army really launches an attack, how will they resist? Not to mention that Fang Jun's thousands of tigers are in the city at the moment. I was slaughtered, my family and country were overthrown..."

Xu Shi said a bit too much, Fan Fanzhi gasped for a few times, his face was flushed, sweat oozes from his forehead, and his spirit became more and more listless.

Fan Zhenlong knelt in front of the couch and quickly said: "Father, don't worry, your body is important. In fact, what if the Tang Dynasty stationed troops in Da Nang? They can't occupy our Linyi country. If possible, there will be no Linyi country now. It's just a barren and barren port. It's construction. How can a prosperous port be built without more than ten or twenty years? From Erchen's point of view, Fang Jun's move is just an excuse to expand the territory , come to ask for credit from the Tang court."

He really didn't think it was a big deal to give Fang Jun Da Nang and let Fang Jun station troops here.

The Han court had no ambitions for Lin Yiguo. After all, it was too far away and not rich.Hundreds of years ago, Linyi Kingdom was the territory of the Han people. In the end, the army was withdrawn far away, only guarding the prosperous area of ​​Songping County, and the rest were all abandoned. This made Linyi Kingdom rise?

Fang Jun has a profound background, his father is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, his father-in-law is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a marquis.As long as there is a name of "expanding the frontier and expanding the territory", it must be able to upgrade its noble rank, or get more benefits...

Fan Fanzhi shook his head weakly, and said helplessly: "You...you still can't see far enough. With the military force of the Tang Dynasty, as long as more than [-] soldiers are stationed in Da Nang, it is enough to bring Lin Yi Kingdom under its control. If you dare to resist, In a blink of an eye, the family will be destroyed. How about this, you go talk to Fang Jun, if the number does not exceed [-], we will agree to his conditions, otherwise, we will die, and all will be destroyed! Cough cough cough..."

Under the agitated mood, Fan Fanzhi coughed violently and vomited a mouthful of blood. Fan Zhenlong was so frightened that he was so frightened that he called all the medical officers in for treatment.After a flurry of work, Fan Fanzhi's condition was finally stabilized, but the old king probably passed out again due to too much work.

*****
"Three thousand? Are you kidding me? Can 3000 people survive Da Nang?"

Hearing Fan Zhenlong's conditions, Liu Renyuan became angry immediately before Fang Jun spoke.Standing up, with a burly figure in full armor, he stared at Fan Zhenlong condescendingly, as if he was about to strike at the slightest disagreement.

Fan Zhenlong felt guilty, his small body was not enough in front of Liu Renyuan, so he raised his head and smiled wryly: "It's because I don't want to let the Tang army station more troops. The country is really full of holes and there is not enough food to supply more people."

Liu Renyuan was furious: "That's not what you said when you asked my Lord Hou to help you fight in Lin Yiguo. Why, now that the Chenla people have retreated, you want to go back on your words and deny it? Believe it or not, even with our few days A thousand men and horses are enough to flatten the Linyi country and kill all the treacherous people like you?"

Fan Zhenlong's black face turned into a liver color!
Threat!

A naked threat!

How could the prince of a country not be furious when he was threatened in such a way?
What's more, it's still in my own land!
But Fan Zhenlong could only sulk himself, but he didn't even look at the rebuttal.

Liu Renyuan was right. With the tyrannical combat power shown by the Tang army when they defeated the Chenla elephant soldiers, it is really not difficult to destroy Lin Yiguo.What's more, this matter is that Fan Zhenlong is suspected of "treachery", and his confidence has been weakened by three points. How can he dare to confront Liu Renyuan?
I had to look at Fang Jun, it seemed that Tang Jun was the only one who was reasonable...

"Master Hou, look... how about looking for compensation from other places? The number of garrison troops was proposed by the prince himself. I am really embarrassed. I hope Lord Hou will understand."

Fan Zhenlong was really in trouble.

He didn't think it would be useful to restrain the Tang army's garrison numbers. Da Nang is less than [-] miles away from Singapura City. Even if there are only two thousand fully armed Tang troops equipped with the kind of iron bumps that can make thunder, roar, landslides and ground cracks after being ignited, it is enough. He stormed Sinjapura and won a complete victory.

But his father insisted that the Tang army's garrison should not exceed [-] troops. What can he do?

If it was normal, maybe I would argue with my father, but now that my father has only half his life left, if there is another dispute, my father might be pissed to death...

Fang Jun almost laughed out loud.

The future king of Linyi Kingdom is really grand and bold, but he is not good at talking about business.If you just exposed your bottom line like this, anyone else would have to open their mouths like a lion?

After thinking about it, Fang Jun decided to say: "It's not that the Marquis is embarrassing Brother Fan, but if the number of garrison troops is too small, how can we guarantee the safety and interests of the merchants in our country? Not to mention that even if a foreign country invades Linyi Kingdom, this army will not be able to Eliminate disasters and difficulties for Linyi country!"

Fan Zhenlong smiled wryly, and clasped his fists in begging, "Master Hou, you also know the current situation of your father, and I really dare not give orders to your father. Please bear with me and find some compensation from other places. I will do everything I can."

Feeling that the posture has been set, Fang Jun said: "Even so, if Benhou insists on going his own way, it would be a gesture of friendship. Well, Benhou would like to mention two points at will. First, sell Jinlan to Da Nang like Da Nang. Tang, the price is up to you. Benhou intends to build it into a transit port between Arabia and Arabia. Second, some small islands and reefs in the sea east of Jinlan are recognized by Linyi Kingdom as the territory of Tang Dynasty. Benhou must Give the imperial court an explanation? The number of garrison troops is only so small, and you have to find supplements from other places. Such a small place is not much, and you and I don’t care, but there is an explanation, right? If Brother Fan agrees, we will make a decision .”

Fan Zhenlong made a decisive decision: "All follow the orders of Lord Hou."

Da Nang, which is dozens of miles away from the capital, is sold, and there is only one Jinlan short?The area where Jinlan is located is the most barren and the population is small. Lin Yiguo doesn't have the energy to manage the land in the south, let alone the coastal ports.

There is nothing else in Linyi country, except that there are many excellent ports...

As for the islands and reefs in the sea east of Cam Ranh?

Fan Zhenlong thought and thought, but he couldn't remember the name of the island.Since I have no impression at all, it must be some pinpoint-sized islands and reefs, which are probably the stopping points accidentally discovered by the Datang maritime merchants or navy when they were sailing.Above the sea, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army's navy is ten times stronger than that on land, and they can occupy wherever they want. People will take it out and say it on the bright side, that is to save face.

Fan Zhenlong was even more sure that Fang Jundong's enclosure with a hammer and a hammer was just to show his merits to the Tang court...

Only Fang Jun couldn't help but feel flustered.
