Chapter 34: The Battle of Song and Yue

Pan Weixi stared at Lu Bingyuan: "You mean, come and fight Anping City. I'll fight Bijing City."
"No, fight together, join forces and then go south and fight all the way to Bijingcheng."
Pan Weixi shook his head: "We cannot destroy Qu Yue with our current troops."
"Who said that he wanted to destroy Qu Yue and occupy the important town, Qu Yue would slowly take it. According to the rules of his son-in-law, Anping City is afraid of more than ten million yuan in profits. We want 60% of them. Also, I heard that the Dashi Caravan purchased porcelain, and even 20% of the porcelain in Guangzhou could not be delivered. Quanzhou was in Dajian Kiln, but it was still insufficient."
"Yes." Pan Weixi did not avoid this problem, this is on the surface.
Lu Bingyuan continued, "Old Pan, although I am on Guangnan West Road, I don't know anything. Your son-in-law is more cruel than you. The envoy of Dashi speaks on his knees in Hangzhou City. 50% of the Dashi Maritime Business Road is in the hands of your son-in-law, and our Guangnan West Road requires half of all, that is, 10% of the hands of your son-in-law."
Pan Weixi really doesn't know about this.
"You wait, I'll ask."
Pan Ziling wore a heavy veil and came over after Pan Weixi waved.
Although Lu Bingyuan was older and of the third rank, he still gave a gift: "Good wife, Marquis Anping."
"Hello, Lu Gong'an." Pan Ziling has a title, and the marquis's status is higher than that of the third rank.
Pan Weixi asked: "Liu Yatou, do you know about the businessmen of Hangzhou Dashi?"
"I heard some."
“Tell me.”
"According to the rules of my husband, Dashi merchants must at least 50% of the shares of Song Shang to be able to conduct business in the Song Shang, with the upper limit being 80% of the members of Song Shang. No matter how the crew ratio is divided, it is limited to 46. If the Song Shang participates, it will never be allowed to conduct business in the Song Shang country. The envoy of the Dashi Country has letters as evidence, and my Song Shang shopkeeper enjoys aristocratic treatment in the Dashi Country."
Speaking of this, Pan Ziling said again: "Dad, if you ask for details, you need to check it in Hangzhou Prefecture and Hangzhou Maritime Bureau."
Lu Bingyuan stretched out a finger and said, "I want 10% of our share of the Song Dynasty. Although the porcelain output on Guangnan West Road is lower than that of Guangnan East Road and Jiangnan Road, there are also fine products. There are also Jin, and Gongjin is not bad."
Pan Weixi cursed: "You old fox, take the opportunity to blackmail me."
"I'll give you a return. I have a state-owned transaction with Dali and other state-owned transactions, including a large number of rhinoceros horns, ivory, gems, famous incense, gold and silver. It's not easy to transport land from Guangnan West Road back to Bianliang or to the north. How about I expand the port in Qinzhou?"
"What do you have to do with me? I just guard Chameng and buy pepper for the official family. If Qu Yue hadn't always harassed me, I wouldn't have sent troops."
Isn’t Pan Weixi the same thing when calling Lu Bingyuan an old fox?
Lu Bingyuan thought for a while: "I will support you and send 30,000 troops to defend Anping City. The city will be under your control."
"Sure, that's it." Pan Weixi smiled happily.
Unfortunately, Pan Weixi didn't know that Lu Meng was planning to transfer 50,000 Liao army prisoners of war, which were 50,000 combat soldiers.
But at present, Pan Weixi's troops were seriously insufficient, and his troops had already gone south and advanced west. He had just controlled two places surrounded by mountains, with abundant water and grass, and rivers, which were especially suitable for planting rice. They were both good places for three seasons a year.
There were enemies there, and his troops would guard it and continue to advance westward.
At this time, Angkor Thom was not long since its construction, and Angkor was still in its early days, and there were too many city-states that had become kings.
Moreover, Pan Weixi already has a war elephant army.
According to real history, Suyavarmo, the hero of the Angkor Dynasty, was just born, and decades after he seized the throne, the Indochina Peninsula was a place of chaos at this time.
Whoever takes over will belong to.
The two old foxes slapped their conditions and slapped their high fives, and this matter was decided.
Lu Bingyuan then asked: "Where did you come from?"
"I attacked several city-states westward, and there are places that are very suitable for growing rice. There are rice in three seasons a year. In the future, I will have more and more rice. Why do I fight Qu Yue? Because Qu Yue is now the two strongest kingdoms here, and the other is Angkor. Angkor is now in a good attitude towards me. As long as I defeat Qu Yue, many city-states will surrender and accept the laws of my Song Dynasty."
Lu Bingyuan cursed in his heart, but he still suffered a loss.
Pan Weixi must have enough troops and pull the 30,000 Shanyue soldiers he summoned to guard the Anping Mansion, and he can transfer his subordinates to continue occupying the territory.
but.
Even if Lu Bingyuan was willing to interfere, he would not dare to move without the orders of the court.
Lu Bingyuan asked again: "Why don't you attack Qu Yue's capital, but you just want to attack such an ordinary town."
Pan Weixi stretched out two fingers: "The first reason is that this was once the Protectorate of Annan of Tang."
"It's reasonable." Lu Bingyuan agreed with this statement.
Pan Weixi said again: "The second reason is that my son Liu An said that if you attack Qu Yue first attack Anping Mansion. If you take Anping Mansion, then Qu Yue will be in the hands of half of the country, but why didn't I ask in detail?"
Lu Bingyuan nodded: "When Anping Hou attacked Youzhou, although he did not command the military formation, his strategy was excellent. In my opinion, Anping Mansion could prevent all ethnic groups and villages in the west of Qu Yue, and what he wanted should be the lower reaches of the Honghe River. This place is very similar to the Yangtze River in the south of the Song Dynasty and the Yangtze River entering the sea, and it must be a place with abundant water and rice."
"It seems that my son is very clever."
"That's right, but in my opinion, Qu Yue's capital will also fight."
"Of course, as long as you send troops, these troops will be enough."
Lu Bingyuan replied: "My troops are enough."
He can be said to be helping Pan Weixi when he beat Qu Yue, and then asked Pan Weixi to go to the court to explain the rest. He really can't think about the rest.
Similarly, Guangnan East Road will be transferred in a few days.
He and Lu Bingyuan scolded Pan Weixi, but he was also unable to interfere in the affairs of the Indochina Peninsula. Pan Weixi had the imperial decree to handle the military and political affairs of Chameng with full authority.
Pan Weixi ordered a rest after capturing Tushan Wharf.
Even the people of Qu Yue felt the crisis. The Song army suddenly stopped and there was only one explanation, and the Song army was brewing.
Once you move, you will be a big move.
This is true. Half of the troops on Guangnan East Road went from land to Qinzhou, while rushing to Tushan from water to Guangnan West Road. On the Guangnan West Road, Liu An told the rules of attacking Youzhou to all ethnic groups in Shanyue. After each village, a large number of troops began to gather towards the border and prepare to go south.
A head of enemy soldiers has always been the money, which is the basic reward given by Guangnan West Road to all ethnic groups and villages in Shanyue.
The military pay for the troops sent is 50% higher than the Song imperial guards' standards.
Upon hearing this news, Pan Weixi also felt at a loss.
Lu Bingyuan, the old fox, was using war to seize the hearts of all ethnic groups and villages in the mountains. So isn’t this old fox giving him a little too little?
