Prince Mo Yun did not hesitate and immediately led 30,000 imperial guardsmen out of the imperial city.
He was also a man of great talent and strategy. After taking control of the army, the first thing he did was to gather together all the princes and nobles he could find, chop off their heads in front of the common people, and then kill all of these people.
The family property was distributed.
At the same time, the soldiers in the hands of these princes and nobles were gathered together.
Prince Mo Yun just walked along, killing and gathering, and soon assembled a huge army.
The common people who had obtained property also joined the team one after another.
When they encountered the merchant army, they already had an army of nearly 300,000 people.
Although there are a large number of people, it is difficult for such a makeshift army to form a decent combat effectiveness.
At this time, Prince Mo Yun had no other choice but to bite the bullet and fight the merchant army.
Zhao Rui was shocked when he saw Prince Mo Yun across from him. He didn't expect that the prince who had knelt at his feet to beg for peace some time ago would now lead an army to fight against him.
I have to say that this Prince Mo Yun is quite capable of bending and stretching.
Zhao Rui waved to the side, and a tall captain arrived.
"Get on the siege truck immediately and read out this proclamation."
The captain responded and hurriedly climbed onto the siege vehicle.
"Order of King Zhao of the Great Shang Dynasty! All the people of the Khmer Kingdom who report their household registration with their families, old and young, can receive money, grain, rice seeds and cattle according to their capita. Anyone who joins the merchant army will be immediately given one month's military pay...
..”
One after another, the royal orders resounded on the battlefield, and there was an immediate commotion among the Khmer army.
They dare not even think about these laws and regulations. In their opinion, as long as they can find a wilderness, build a simple wooden house, plant a vegetable patch and have a wife, this is the life they dream of.
But now, Dashang's laws seem to allow them to live an extremely prosperous life.
Prince Mo Yun at the front suddenly widened his eyes, he had never seen such a way of fighting before.
When the two sides met, they did not fight for the first time, but let one person read out the king's order.
I have to say that this kind of scheming is really powerful. Who can resist such a temptation?
After taking a look at the turbulent army behind him, Prince Mo Yun didn't wait any longer and immediately ordered the entire army to charge!
Zhao Rui looked indifferent, riding on horseback and looking at the battlefield coldly.
He seemed to have already figured out the thoughts of everyone on the other side.
Sure enough, when the Khmer army rushed to the merchant army, half of them defected on the spot, and the rest were wavering. In the end, only Prince Moyun's 30,000 imperial guardsmen chose to charge.
But even among these 30,000 people, there are still many who are willing to fight.
In the end, only Prince Mo Yun and Ma Tao approached Zhao Rui with a dozen people.
They knew that there was no need to continue fighting this battle.
Prince Mo Yun threw away the sword in his hand, got off his horse and knelt down in front of Zhao Rui.
"It is the Khmer royal family who have lost their support, otherwise they would not have defected in the face of battle!"
Zhao Rui glanced at Prince Mo Yun in front of him, then got off his horse and helped him up.
"I admire you very much, and it is none of your business that the Khmer Kingdom has become what it is today! If you are willing, I can help you catch all the escaped princes and nobles."
