When Weng Yingqi, Sun Kewang and Lin Chengzong returned to Taiwu City with their belongings, food and the princess, it was already the summer rice harvest season.
Jayaraman, the Tamil prince of Kanmei City, had already sent troops to rebel. But he did not dare to attack directly. Instead, he attacked the northern villages and forced the Brahmins and Kshatriyas to join in the trouble.
The village nobles who had surrendered to Zhao Kuangyi were somewhat reluctant to rebel. After all, the new Han king did not interfere in the northern region. As long as he did not evade taxes too much, he did not bother to come to collect the taxes by force. The village nobles could embezzle more grain than before.
More.
This is a good king, and the village nobles still support Zhao Kuangli very much.
Facing Jayaraman's military front, nobles from all over the country had to take action. However, those Shudras who worked part-time were very happy. They did not have stable jobs and were temporarily recruited as soldiers. Although they were not given military pay, they at least had some rations every day.
In this way, the Tamil prince Jayaraman mobilized tens of thousands of troops. Due to the amazing momentum, the prince of another city in the north also led his troops to join the rebellion.
A quarter of the country's territory was occupied by these guys, and they encountered almost no resistance.
In the Mysore Kingdom to the west, the king personally led an army of 20,000 people through the mountain pass and quickly occupied a quarter of the country in the west. These guys had a good idea. The time when the army crossed the border coincided with the grain harvest season.
Obviously they are here to grab food!
"Your Majesty, please send troops quickly!" Peshra knelt down and cried.
Peshra was the prince of the western border city. He fled all the way to Taiwu City and begged Zhao Kuangli to send troops in tears.
Zhao Kuangluo asked: "You said that after the Mysore army occupied the city, in addition to looting the property, they also demolished the city walls?"
Peshra said: "They not only looted the goods and demolished the city walls, but also kidnapped the wives and daughters of the nobles!"
Peshra, a prince and aristocrat, originally had no intention of getting involved and only wanted to protect his own territory. The Mysore army passed around the city. When Peshra relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly came back and destroyed the city in one fell swoop. Peshra led ten
Many noble knights fled and his family were all captured.
Zhao Kuangluo asked the man what happened in detail and asked the man to go down and rest.
Wang Chongxi guessed: "The Mysore army obviously did not want to expand its territory in this way. It was purely here to plunder. Otherwise, it would not be possible to demolish the city wall in a hurry."
Ma Hui looked at the map in front of him. This map was very simple and was found in the Tanjore Palace: "According to the local nobles, in the past ten years, the territory of Mysore has expanded three times. Today, the country
Already surrounded by mountains, the entire country is a large basin. If they stop expanding, the terrain will be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they will be very safe. If they continue to expand, they will fall into years of foreign wars. Unless the king of this country wants to separate us and
The country of Madurai is completely destroyed, otherwise he will not annex new territories."
Guan Xian said: "Then let them continue to rob, and we will quell the civil strife first."
"Yes, let's quell the civil strife first," Wang Chongxi said: "These people looted and killed along the way, and demolished city walls everywhere. No matter how cowardly the nobles in the western region of our country are, they will be forced to resist. The more fierce the Mysore army robs, the more local nobles will
They are more and more interested in the imperial court. However, the rebels in the north are willing to win over the nobles and coerce the local nobles to join the rebellion. That is our innermost worry!"
Zhao Kuangluo asked: "What do the three generals think?"
Weng Yingqi said: "I agree with the two gentlemen that the civil strife in the north should be quelled first, and then the foreign enemies in the west should be dealt with."
Sun Kewang had a different view: "The rebellious nobles in the north are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. They haven't fought for many years, and they don't have many elite soldiers. Most of the soldiers are farmers recruited temporarily. And they have been in trouble for so long.
They dare not go south and have been causing harm to the place. On the other hand, the Mysore army in the west, this country has expanded its territory three times in more than ten years, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield."
After Weng Yingqi thought carefully, he said: "That's right. The rebellion in the north can be easily solved. At this time, we should deal with the strong enemy first. After we defeat the strong enemy, the rebel nobles in the north will probably die after hearing the news.
There’s going to be internal strife.”
When Wang Chongxi heard what the two generals said, he began to understand it along this line of thinking, and added: "We can send envoys to contact the Mysore army and look scared. Tell them that we need to quell the civil strife first.
Let them set a price for how much gold and silver they are willing to pay to withdraw their troops."
"Wonderful!" Guan Xian said with a smile, "Knowing that we have to quell the civil strife first and blindly pay compensation and seek peace, the Mysore army will definitely become more arrogant. We have secretly killed them without any precautions, and we will definitely be able to take them off guard.
!”
Ma Ju added: "We used kindness and power along the way to intimidate the local nobles, saying that the Mysore army would tear down the city walls and rob all the villages. Let the princes who escaped from the west come and speak out in person, and the nobles from all over the country would definitely join the army enthusiastically. etc.
The local aristocratic army slowly kills them, and the Mysore army will also focus on the aristocratic army. The Han army, on the other hand, will take a detour and go elsewhere to conduct a surprise attack in secret!"
…
"boom!"
Another wall of earth and stone was torn down, a large number of city residents fled, and the city was already riddled with holes.
More than two thousand people in the city were captured as slaves and transported to the rear. At the mountain pass at the junction of the two countries, there were more slaves. The looted goods from all directions were transported to the mouth of the valley and stacked, and then passed through the valley.
Then transport it back to Mysore.
The king of Mysore is named Doda Devaroja Wodeya. This person has an abnormal succession. Two years ago, his uncle the king died of illness, and this guy launched a coup to seize the throne.
In order to win over the Christian military nobles, he even converted to Christianity for a time. After he secured the throne, he attacked the Christian nobles and became a Hindu again, gaining the support of the majority of Hindu nobles.
With good political skills and good military capabilities, this king is considered a powerful figure in India.
"Which king from China wants to sue for peace?" Doda Wodeya asked with a smile.
The messenger, a Tamil nobleman, nodded and bowed: "Our Majesty said that he is willing to have eternal friendship with your country. The mountains between the two countries are natural boundary barriers. He has no intention to expand to the west, and your country has no intention to expand to the east. In this case
, are there any conflicts between the two countries that cannot be resolved?"
Doda Wodeya laughed loudly: "He was frightened by the rebel nobles, right? He wants to beg me to withdraw the troops quickly so that he can calm down and quell the rebellion."
The envoy said: "Please make a price. Our Majesty will try to satisfy you, and all the treasures your country has captured can be transported away."
Doda Wodeya said: "If you want me to withdraw my troops, I want 200,000 suvarnas (nearly 3 tons) of gold. If the gold is not enough, I will use food and goods to offset it. Send me 50,000 suvarnas first."
, the remaining ten years must be paid in full. If you dare to default in any year, I will bring my troops to kill you again!"
The messenger made a confused expression: "200,000 Suvarnas is too much, is 30,000 okay?"
"Do you think of me as a beggar?" Doda Wodeya sneered.
The envoy could only say: "I must go back and ask for your Majesty's instructions."
Doda Wodeya said: "Then you go and come back quickly."
After seeing off the envoy sent by Zhao Kuangluo, the king felt very happy and even thought of annexing the Jin Kingdom.
However, he can still restrain himself, because if he cannot annex it quickly, he may face the invasion of other neighboring countries. The two countries in the rear, Kradi and Golconda, are not vegetarians. They will stab Mysore if they get the opportunity.
Chinese chrysanthemum.
After thinking carefully for a while, Doda Wodeya ordered: "Except for the king's personal guards, all other troops are sent out. The enemy city is already prepared. Don't attack the city anymore. Try to rob all the villages around!"
More than ten days later, Doda Wodeya received news that the nobles and princes of Jin were gathering troops.
These local nobles were frightened by the atrocities in Mysore, and in order to protect their property, they all followed Zhao Kuangluo's call.
Doda Wodeya believed that he asked for too much gold, so he sent an envoy to initiate peace talks: "Tell the king from China that he can withdraw his troops if he wants me to, but he must give 100,000 Suvarna gold. This is my bottom line.
Nothing less!”
At the same time, Doda Wodeya regrouped the troops that had been sent out to rob, intending to destroy the aristocratic coalition here first.
Weng Yingqi's infantry and Sun Kewang's cavalry marched dozens of miles along the river, then moved away from the river and prepared to circle back. They did not bring much food, and the artillery was also left behind. Along the way, they ordered the villages to provide food. The farther they marched, the harder it was to get food.
After raising money, those villages and communities were robbed by the enemy and extorted by the army of their own king.
By next year, there will definitely be a famine in the western region of Jin, and we don’t know how many people will starve to death!
Sun Kewang's cavalry moved the fastest, and after a few days, they detoured to Adul outside the mountain pass. This was a border town, and now it has become a material transfer station. All the goods stolen from Mysore were gathered here for preparation.
Ship it back.
Thick smoke rises outside the town every day, and the corpses of people who died of starvation, slaves who died of exhaustion, and bodies are moved outside the town and burned one after another.
About two thousand enemy troops were stationed here, all of them elite, responsible for guarding the property.
These guys don't even bother to set up camp.
It turned out that their dispatch of troops went too smoothly. The main force had already attacked, and this place was an absolutely safe rear area. They captured the residents of the town and used them as slaves to transport supplies, while they themselves lived in the houses of the town. They also sent some soldiers.
Patrolling, not to warn enemies, but to prevent slaves from rebelling or escaping.
Sun Kewang didn't even bother to cover his whereabouts. He rested for a while a few miles away and then headed straight to Adul Town under the guidance of his guide.
The guide was that Peshra. His city was occupied, his treasures were emptied, and his wife and daughter were snatched away. Now he was full of anger and absolutely loyal to Zhao Kuanglui. As long as he didn't let him die, he would do anything.
In broad daylight, hundreds of cavalrymen trotted past. The slaves transporting goods along the way only looked at them blankly.
For every few hundred slaves, there is a small army to guard them. The army does not need to be large, a few soldiers can guard hundreds of slaves, and these slaves have no courage to resist.
The Mysore soldiers responsible for escorting the goods thought that their own cavalry was coming. When Sun Kewang ran past them, they realized something was wrong, but other than blowing the trumpet, there was no way to return to the town to report the news.
Most of the two thousand enemy troops stationed in the town were enjoying themselves in the town, and only a few hundred were actually doing anything.
In addition to the three hundred Han people who raised troops, there were more than a hundred noble cavalry who followed Sun Kewang and quickly rushed to the outside of the town.
In broad daylight, the enemy general did not even wear armor and was drinking with a group of noble officers. Hearing the shouts of killing outside the town, they stood up drunk. When they were sure that the enemy was coming, they ran in panic to look for themselves.
's armor.
The town was captured without losing a single soldier.
Sun Kewang said to Peshra: "You organize all the people here (enemy slaves) into an army and let them guard these goods. The rest of the nobles follow the enemy's food route and fight back with me!"
The food route of the Mysore army was cut off like this. Only a few hundred cavalrymen quickly pulled out one food transportation station after another.
The King of Mysore in front had just gathered his plundering troops and wanted to destroy the Jin's aristocratic coalition.
"Your Majesty, there are enemies behind us, and the food transport channel along the river has been cut off!"
"How many enemies are there?"
"I don't know, it could be thousands or tens of thousands!"
"Nonsense, there must not be thousands, otherwise we would have been discovered long ago. Stop advancing, everyone will follow me and fight back!"
"..."
The spies responsible for observing the situation immediately went back to inform the coalition of nobles that the Jin army had won and the Mysore invaders had completely fled.
The local nobles were inexplicably excited and led their troops to chase after him.
After chasing him for dozens of miles, he was killed by the King of Mysore...
