Fan Zhenlong calmed down, gritted his teeth, stared at Bhadra Shura and asked, "Tell me, if I summon the entire army to fight against the Tang army, what are the chances of winning?"
Bhadrasura was almost frightened to death and said in horror: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
A decisive battle with the Tang army?
You can pull it down...
Don't you know what kind of combat effectiveness Linyi's army has? At the beginning, the Zhenwa army took the elephant soldiers as the vanguard and marched straight into the city of Sanghabula. If the Tang army hadn't descended from the sky to assist in the battle, I'm afraid you would be Zhenwa in your position now.
The king.
And the real wax elephant soldiers who drove straight in were like mud in the flood in front of the Tang army. In an instant, they collapsed and were defeated...
In comparison, isn't it obvious which one is stronger and which one is weaker?
Compared to the Tang army, which was well-equipped to the teeth and backed by "shaking thunder", Lin Yi's soldiers in cloth and leather armor holding hatchets were like a group of weak sheep...
"The power of the Tang army is as powerful as the thunder of the nine heavens, which cannot be resisted. Anyone who stands in front of it will eventually be blasted into pieces. Your Majesty, think twice!" Bhadra Shura persuaded him hard, hoping that Fan Zhenlong could dispel this completely.
The thought of impossible victory.
Fan Zhenlong sat on the couch anxiously, slapped the armrest hard, and shouted with coaxing eyes: "Do you think I don't know the danger? But look at the Tang Dynasty's actions, it is clear that he wants to use this incident to drive the army away
When you come to the capital, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Once they enter the capital, do you think you can drive them away? Due to the situation, I could lease Da Nang to the Tang people. Is it possible that now I have to talk about Sangha compensation?
Luocheng surrendered? Why do you want me to have the face to meet the ancestors of the Fan family?"
He is now like an ant on a hot pot, he has completely lost his direction and doesn't know where to go.
Bhadra Shura complained in his heart, who told you to spread the "Tang people's threat" remarks and incite the domestic people's resistance to the Tang people for nothing? Now that the Tang people have realized that you are disobedient, they naturally want to take the opportunity to deal with you.
, another obedient one comes up...
However, these words sounded like a complaint, which must have angered Fan Zhenlong. He could only say: "But no matter what, a decisive battle with the Tang Army is a recipe for death. It is impossible for us to win... To say the least, even if we can win temporarily, the Tang Army will win."
With an invincible navy, tens of thousands of troops can be transported from the mainland to Da Nang in an instant. How can we resist it? By then, the Tang people will be furious. I am afraid it will not only be Da Nang but also Sangha Pula City.
It is possible to subjugate the country and exterminate the species..."
After hearing this, Fan Zhenlong immediately shuddered. Thinking about it carefully, that kind of consequences is not impossible...
He witnessed the prosperity of the Tang people with his own eyes and was deeply shocked.
If the Tang Dynasty decided to attack with all their strength due to shame and anger, the Linyi Kingdom would inevitably repeat the mistakes of those dynasties that were overthrown by the Central Plains Heavenly Kingdom in history... It was no longer about whether he had the face to meet his ancestors, but that he, Fan Zhenlong, would become
The sinner of Lin Yiguo!
But should he just sit back and wait for death, waiting for the Tang army to march into the capital and occupy the palace, and oust him from power?
Fan Zhenlong was unwilling to give in...
*****
Bhadrasura returned home, slumped on the couch, shook his head and sighed, feeling worried.
He naturally understands Fan Zhenlong's dilemma. Who is willing to give up the great country to others? But the current situation is clearly that the Tang Dynasty realized that Fan Zhenlong was gradually out of control, and wanted to overthrow Fan Zhenlong's rule and replace it with an obedient king.
The path left in front of Fan Zhenlong is either to be obedient and go to the countryside, and if he wants to save his life, he must move to the Tang Dynasty and become a rich man, so that he can have a good death; or he must gather the power of the whole country to support the king's orthodoxy and fight to the death with the Tang army!
Of course, in the opinion of Bhadra Shura, the result of a fight to the death is death...
The Tang army's military power swept across the world, how could the mere Linyi Kingdom compete with it?
There was a sound of ringing, and the lady in fine clothes walked out from the back hall, followed by two slender maids, touching the teacup in their hands.
Putting the tea cup on the table, the two maids took their leave. The lady said softly: "There are rumors in the city. My husband must be very busy, right? Have a cup of tea and take a break. Since you are home, don't think too much about the affairs of the court."
Already."
Since the navy of the Tang Dynasty crossed the sea, tea has become a luxury product sought after by the nobles of Linyi State. Like exquisite porcelain and smooth silk, it has become a symbol of identity and status.
Bhadrasura rubbed his eyebrows, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, sighing: "Where are the rumors? I'm afraid a disaster is about to happen!"
The lady was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly: "How do you say this? You are the Prime Minister of Lin Yi State. Even if there is danger, it will not involve us, right?"
"Prime Minister? Haha, it is precisely because of the identity of this Prime Minister that he is in danger..."
Bhadrasura sighed and said with a frown: "The king is a little frustrated and crazy now. He actually wants to go to war with the Tang army regardless... Doesn't that mean he doesn't want to live? I know the strength of the Tang army.
We know full well that even if we gather all the troops from across the country, we will still be attacking the stone with an egg. When the time comes, we will offend the Tang people and a mass killing will be inevitable."
People in the Tang Dynasty are not good men and women. The reason why they seem so friendly now is that they are all focused on making money. Once they find out that Lin Yiguo is ready to take back Da Nang and cut off their financial path, he will instantly transform into a devil and deal a thunderous blow to Fan Zhenlong.
Maybe even the Lin Yi Kingdom was destroyed...
The couple was sighing deeply when suddenly the servant came to report that there was someone at the door asking to see them.
Bhadrasura was in a bad mood, frowned and shouted: "No! Whoever it is, tell him that he has something to talk to the Yamen tomorrow."
The slave did not retreat, but bowed, raised something that looked like a waistband in his hand, and said cautiously: "The man said that if you present this thing to the master of the house, the master of the house will definitely meet him."
Bhadra Shura had a gloomy look on his face and said angrily: "Trash! He wants to see you just as soon as he says it? In addition to the king, there is no one in Linyi who wants to see me, Bhadra Shura..."
This was not said arrogantly.
As Fan Zhenlong's cousin, confidant, and nephew of the previous king, looking at the entire Linyi Kingdom, Bhadra Shura indeed deserves the status of "one person is less than ten thousand people", even the Li family who once established the Wanchun Kingdom in the north
Rich people have to behave themselves in front of him.
Who dares to be so presumptuous?
But he only spoke half of his angry words before he couldn't continue. Bhadrasura's eyes were completely shocked by the waist badge held in the hands of the house slave...
The palm-sized waist plate is made of ivory, as white, delicate and moist as jade. It is carved with complex and exquisite auspicious cloud patterns, and in the middle is a lifelike dragon pattern.
The waist card of the Tang Navy!
Bhadrasura suddenly stood up and asked in surprise: "Where is the person?"
The slave said: "Just at the front door."
Bhadrasura was shocked, his face turned pale, and he said quickly: "Please come in quickly... No, I will invite you in person!"
After saying that, he took three steps and then trotted towards the front door...
It's not that he wants to see the person sent by the Tang Dynasty Navy, but that this person is standing at the door of his house now. If he is recognized by others and the news reaches Fan Zhenlong's ears, how should he explain it?
?
At this delicate opportunity, as the most powerful prime minister of Lin Yi State, you met privately with an envoy from the Tang Navy. What do you want to do?
No matter what, you must not let others know that the Tang Dynasty Navy sent people to see you.
It is definitely not possible to drive him away. Bhadra Shura does not have the courage to offend the people of Tang Dynasty, so he can only welcome him into the house quickly and pray to God and Buddha for protection so that he will not be seen by others...
I hurried to the door and saw a long-robed scribe standing on the stone steps in front of the door with his hands on his hands.
He has a tall and slender body, a face as handsome as a crown jade, and a bright gaze under his sword-shaped eyebrows that slants into his temples. His whole person is filled with an aura as gentle as jade but superior to others.
Seeing the official robes worn by Bhadrasura, the visitor bowed his head slightly and asked with a smile: "But they are very face-to-face?"
Bhadrasura said haha: "That's right..." A pair of eyes glanced at the street, and when he saw no suspicious person, he dragged the visitor who wanted to say polite words and entered the door.
He said: "The angel has come from afar. I cannot greet you from afar. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. Come on, come on. Let's go inside and talk."
The visitor was a little confused by his enthusiasm. In a daze, he was dragged into the main hall by Bhadra Shura...
The guests and hosts were seated. Bhadrasura breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "May I ask your name? You look so nervous. I must have never met you before, right?"
