Zhao Rui found the location of the royal capital of the Khmer Kingdom on the map, and then ordered the entire army to attack.
As long as the opponent's imperial city is breached in the shortest time, the entire Khmer country can be easily captured.
The royal city of the Khmer Kingdom was in chaos, and no one knew who had spread the news of the defeat at the border. All the princes and nobles began to pack up their gold and silver and prepare to flee!
The emperor of the Khmer Kingdom was even more anxious, and his old body looked even more frail.
I don't know if it was because he was furious or something else, but he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
"Father!" Prince Mo Yun, who had returned, hurried forward and helped the emperor up.
"What's wrong with you? Why can't you even see a eunuch in the palace?"
The emperor took a few deep breaths and quickly grabbed Prince Mo Yun's shoulders.
"You went to peace talks, what was the result? Did they withdraw their troops?"
Prince Mo Yun sighed helplessly: "The great King Zhao seems determined to destroy our Khmer dynasty. When I left, the merchant army had already set off and it won't be long before they are on the verge of approaching the city."
The emperor suddenly stood there motionless like a stone statue.
Prince Mo Yun suddenly became anxious and rushed forward to call, but he lightly touched the emperor and fell to the ground without breathing.
Prior to this, the Khmer dynasty had existed in name only, and most of the power was in the hands of the palace nobles. The royal family had no power at all!
Originally, the Khmer emperor wanted to cede all the territories of his princes and nobles through this peace negotiation and use the merchant army to quell the civil strife for them.
In this way, the Khmer royal family can easily control the remaining half of the territory.
I didn’t expect that people would not buy their account at all!
Prince Mo Yun was about to cry, but at this moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Your Highness the Prince!" The Chief of Guards of the Forbidden Army hurriedly ran into the hall: "What is going on? Your Majesty, he..."
Prince Mo Yun sighed helplessly, trying to keep his mind in a calm state.
"Father has passed away!"
The captain of the guard couldn't help being startled, and then he fell to the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has passed away. You are the new emperor of the Khmer Dynasty. Please give us orders!"
Prince Mo Yun was a little surprised. The current Khmer royal family has reached the point where everyone has betrayed their relatives. Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace have fled. He did not expect that the chief guard was still waiting for orders.
"General Ma Tao, our situation is over. The only plan for now is to escape. Besides, we don't have an army at hand. How can we stabilize the current situation?"
Ma Tao quickly took out a military talisman from his body.
"Your Highness, I still have 30,000 imperial guards in my hands. These people are loyal to the royal family. As long as you raise your arms, they will definitely obey your orders."
Prince Mo Yun looked in disbelief. He did not expect that there would be someone loyal to the royal family at this time.
"Where is the army?"
Ma Tao did not dare to show any slightness and immediately led Prince Mo Yun out of the hall. On the teaching field to the east of the palace, 30,000 people were lined up neatly.
They are well-equipped and physically strong, and most importantly, these 30,000 people are all heavily armored cavalry.
With such an elite team in hand, it might be possible to reverse the current situation.
