The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 654 Cambodia

Besides, Jia Ke is sitting in Shenglong Mansion, and now Jia Ke has occupied the palace of Annan Kingdom, and regards it as his daily work and rest place.

One day Jia Ke was thinking that it was time to retreat back to the Central Plains when Li Deshan came in to report.

"Master, this slave has received a report from the people below that Annan King Ruan Zhengyu has retreated to Thailand through Cambodia."

Jia Ke frowned when she heard this. If this Ruan Zhengyu was allowed to stay in Thailand safely, he would come up with some crooked ideas, and then his own Annan would not be at peace.

Jia Ke walked around the Yin'an Hall for a few times and made up his mind not to retreat back to the Central Plains for the time being, but to march westward to open up the border with Thailand, and then force the country to hand over Ruan Zhengyu, and let him surrender by the way.

After Jia Ke made up her mind, she immediately beat the drums and assembled the generals.

Now these generals under Jia Ke's command are living a very happy life. They occupy the residence of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of An Nanguo, and then use the servants and maids left by these ministers.

On this day, they suddenly heard the sound of drums in the palace, which immediately woke them up from their gentleness.

These people immediately pushed away the beautiful maids beside them, put on the helmets, crowns, robes and belts again, and then ordered their own soldiers to rush to the palace one by one after preparing their horses.

After the three drums, the Hall of Yin'an was already full of generals, and all the generals were fully dressed and stood there waiting for Jia Ke.

After the arrival of the generals, Jia Ke was late.

Jia Ke entered the Yin'an Hall and sat on the throne, all the civil and military personnel below immediately knelt down on one knee to salute Jia Ke.

Jia Ke waved them down, and then said: "I got the news that Ruan Zhengyu has fled to Thailand, I don't want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, what do you think?"

After listening to Jia Ke's words, all the civil and military people below looked at each other's hearts, saying that your old man has already made up his mind, what can we say?
So all the civil and military people below clasped their hands together and said: "We will follow the order of the prince."

Jia Ke nodded and then said: "So, you go back to rectify the troops. After three days, all the troops will set out to conquer Cambodia first, and then go straight to the border of Thailand. Let's see how he does."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, the generals immediately went back to prepare.

Three days later, outside the city of Shenglongfu, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been rectified.

The main force of each army is still Jia Ke's Fenwu Battalion and the Eight Banners cavalry, then there are 20 wolf soldiers, and then there are more than [-] captive soldiers.

And Jia Ke left all the soldiers from Guangxi and Yunnan in Annan in order to suppress the area, because just after conquering Annan, there were some resistance forces in their country.

Jia Ke gathered his soldiers together and marched to the west in a mighty manner.

Let’s not talk about Jia Ke leading the troops here, but only talk about Cambodia, a small country next to An Nanguo.

The current King of Cambodia is Thoma Raja I of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

Since the king ascended the throne, the country has been weakening day by day, and his land has been continuously eroded by Annan King Ruan Zhengyu. After several wars, his land is now only 1/3 of what he was when he ascended the throne.

This time he got the news that Ruan Zhengyu of Annan Kingdom had been defeated by the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty and had already fled to Thailand. When he was happy, he thought that the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty was kind, and as long as he said a few good words, he might be able to defeat others without a fight. Soldiers, take back all the lost land.

Unexpectedly, Tomo Raja I thought of beauty, but suddenly received a report from the people below, King Yan of the Central Plains Dynasty, you, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, came straight to Cambodia.

This blow only frightened the king out of his wits.

Even the powerful An Nan Kingdom was destroyed by the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty within a few months. How could a small country like myself have a weak military force?

So Tomo Raja I convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs overnight to discuss countermeasures.

In the king's palace, all the ministers were also at a loss. Although they had repeatedly fought and failed against Annan, they could still fight against it. But this time, they were against the Kingdom of Heaven. How could they, a small country, resist.

So Aman, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, came out to play and said: "Your Majesty, the kingdom of heaven is so powerful, how can we and other small countries resist? It is better to go out of the city and surrender. King Yan of the Heavenly Dynasty will not be too difficult for us to surrender. Although the power will be hampered at times, our positions will be preserved."

Tomo Raja I was a little displeased when he heard this. The feeling of putting his life and death in the hands of the other party is not very pleasant.

But as soon as the king was about to object, all the ministers below knelt down and begged the king to leave the city and surrender.

It turned out that these ministers had already received the news that the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty had raised troops, and if they resisted, they would be destroyed.

In addition, the nobles who surrendered in Annan were only deprived of their military power, and their property was still preserved, so these ministers had no intention of resisting.

Tomo Raja I was also helpless when he saw this situation, so he said to the prime minister Oman: "In this case, then I will thank the prime minister. You take my letter of credence to the military camp of the heavenly dynasty, and report to the king of the heavenly kingdom Yan. manner."

After Tumo Raja I finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, left the hall, and went back to the harem.

After the king returned to the harem, he sighed, and the queen hurried over to comfort her when she saw this situation: "Your Majesty, I have also heard about the previous court. How can we resist the mighty soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty when our country is weak? From the concubine's point of view, surrendering is a waste of time." Good thing."

After the king heard this, he was furious, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground, and then he raised his hand and hit the queen to the ground.

"Well, you slave, the ancestor Jiangshan is about to fall, and you are here to say such sarcastic remarks."

The queen was beaten, and it would be a lie to say that she was not angry, but now that the country is in crisis, she can only endure it temporarily.

So the queen could only kneel on the ground, and continued to persuade the king: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Dynasty is kind and will not take away the inheritance of the ancestors. Moreover, once the King surrenders and is granted the title of the Heavenly Dynasty, those disorderly officials and thieves in the country will not dare to act rashly. From this point of view, it is a great thing.”

After the king listened to it, he sat there and thought about it in his head. It wasn't like this. As long as the surrendered Chinese dynasty was blessed, his descendants could also be the king.

After the king thought of this, Mao Sai suddenly realized that there was no trouble when he first entered the prince. He stepped forward to help the queen up, and then apologized repeatedly.

Although the queen still held grudges in her heart, she didn't dare to show it in front of the king, and she helped the king into the harem with a smile on her face.

It turns out that the queen's name is Tai Ji, who is from a wealthy Cambodian family. She has the ambition to rise to the clouds since she was a child, and she is as beautiful as a flower and her skin is like snow. She was trained by her father since she was a child. He hired famous teachers from the Central Plains for her. Not proficient, and speaks fluent Central Plains.

After the queen married the king, she defeated the previous queen only as a concubine, and became the queen of Cambodia after a lot of hardships.

But she is still not satisfied now, but now the king is still in his prime, so she endures it for the time being.

And this time the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty came here is an opportunity. If they can be operated properly, they may be able to take over the power of Cambodia.

Prime Minister Oman received the king's permission, immediately repaired a letter, and then sent it to the harem for the king to seal.

Tuomo Raja I was enlightened by the queen at this time, and had already changed his mind. When he saw the prime minister sent the letter of credence, he immediately stamped the king's seal and sent it out.

The prime minister, Aman, did not dare to be negligent after he got the letter of credence. He immediately ordered someone to prepare a car, and left Phnom Penh with a dozen servants, heading straight for Jia Ke's army.

And Jia Ke is now commanding several 10 horses, and has crossed the border of Cambodia. Wherever he went, Cambodian officials at all levels watched the wind and surrendered without any resistance.

So Jia Ke led the troops without any fight, and arrived at a place 200 miles away from Phnom Penh without any problems.

They were marching on this day, and suddenly the scouts in front came to report that the envoy of the King of Phnom Penh had come to ask for an audience.

Jia Ke smiled slightly when he heard this, he had already guessed what the other party meant.

This Kingdom of Cambodia is really cowardly. Now hundreds of thousands of soldiers are coming to the city, and they are here to surrender.

So Jia Ke ordered the army to stop temporarily, and ordered the messenger to be led to his horse.

Cambodia once sent Oman, and as the soldiers went all the way through the mountains and seas, this journey seemed to make him more sure that his strategy of surrender was so correct.

The little bit of shame that was in my heart is now gone.

Look at the troops of the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty, all of them are strong and armored, and the horses come and go as one. How can these soldiers and horses in my own country be able to resist? How many lives have I saved?

Aman followed the soldiers to the formation. He looked up and saw a young general sitting on a group of fire dragon horses not far away. He had a golden helmet on his head and a golden armor on his body. There were countless generals around him. Surrounded by them, there is a big banner behind them, which reads, Prime Minister Yan Wang, governor of the world, Jia.

Aman knew that this was the King Yan of the Central Plains Dynasty that he was going to meet, but he didn't expect to be so young.

Aman didn't dare to neglect, he came to the hyperthyroidism in three steps and two steps, and knelt down on his knees.

"My minister, Aman, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, has seen Qiansui, King Yan of the Celestial Dynasty."

Jia Ke sat on the horse and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite, just get up and answer."

Only then did Oman dare to stand up cautiously.

Seeing him stand up, Jia Ke continued to ask, "You are not in Phnom Penh preparing the army for war, what are you doing here in my camp?"

After hearing this, Oman immediately said with trepidation: "The kingdom of heaven, the heavenly soldiers come here, how can we dare to resist the small country? The king ordered me to come here to present the letter of credence, and welcome the king of Yan to Phnom Penh to preside over the great event."

After Oman finished speaking, he took out the king's credential from behind, and held it above his head with both hands.

Jia Ke glanced aside for a moment, Li Deshan immediately got off the horse and came to Aman's side, fetched the credentials, came to Jia Ke in three steps and two steps, and handed it to Jia Ke with both hands.
