Chapter 1172(1/2)
Since Mangman II took power, he has always regarded the defeat of Luo Xingren and cedes land, and he has wanted to take revenge day and night.
However, Funan is still inadequate in strength. Antioch and the Rohings in the west are extremely strongly managed by the Rohings. Without sufficient preparation, they will never dare to chew on them easily.
The Arab robbers in the southwest rainforest area are a group of poor and smelly guys. Even if they defeat them a hundred times, they will not have much benefit to the national strength of the Funan Empire.
Therefore, Mangman II knew that in order to strengthen his national strength, he had to first erode the declining Linyi Empire to the east, conquer those city-states and tribes in the east, and use their wealth and soldiers to support Nanmen to initiate revenge against the Rohing people.
The nomadic cavalry from the far east in the past two years have completely disrupted the erosion business strategies of the people of Funan.
It is rumored that those fierce nomadic cavalry were all the troops of the Eastern Han Empire. After defeating Kangju, Su Yi and Dayuan, they also annexed the various divisions of Beilinyi at a rapid speed.
This made Mangman II absolutely unbearable. If it were not for the benefits of the old lands of Linyi in the East, how could the Funan Empire be able to reserve national strength as soon as possible to seek revenge on Luo Xingren?
"My son, people have told me that the Han Empire in the East has revived again, as if it had been granted a god. It destroyed its country twice, but restored its country twice. The best way for such a powerful country that has gained a god is to be friends and partners with him, rather than becoming enemies with them."
The mother of the second generation, the Empress Dowager Funan, held a snow-white palace cat in her hand, and gracefully stroked the cat owner while admonishing her heart.
Unlike the second generation of Mangman II who was determined to expand territory, although the Queen Mother of Funan was only in her thirties, she had been involved in the imperial government for more than ten years. She knew that what the Funan Empire needed most today was stable development, and quietly waited for the Luoxing people to reveal their flaws, rather than creating a new enemy in the East.
"Mother, what you said is just a rumor from some lies merchants. No one in the world except us, the most devout believers of the God of Light, can get the God's care!"
Disdain appeared on the young and handsome face of Mangman II.
He knew that his mother opposed all wars, and the previous monarchs of the Funan Empire suffered various tragedies due to various military failures.
But Mangman II felt that he was different. He was born to be a revivor of Funan.
It is the God of Light who is destined to defeat the Luo Xingren and wash away the shame of his ancestors.
The Queen Mother Funan was worried about the safety of her son and the empire and did not want to agree to the way to start a war.
However, now there are no old ministers in the empire, and the opinions of the Queen Mother Funan have no supporters. For the second generation of Man Man who is determined to make a difference, it is nothing different from the infatuation in his ears.
After the mother and son did not reach an agreement, Mangman II directly ordered the mobilization of troops and horses to prepare for war on the Han Empire in the east.
Although I had experienced cede land and compensation from the Rohing people, the territory of the Funan Empire was still very large.
After nearly half a month, the lords led their troops to various places were gradually coming.
"I will lead you to conquer the Eastern people who robbed the vassals of the Empire. No matter who they are, as long as they can defeat them, I will not want any of them, such as silk, gold, silver, porcelain, etc., and I will reward them all to the winners."
After half a month, all the Governors of Elland from all over the country were gathered, and Mangman II made a promise to everyone with confidence.
When everyone heard this, their beards were all flying with joy.
In recent years, more and more rare goods have been coming from the far east. Not to mention the gorgeous silk of Saijin Saiyin, just talking about the quaint white porcelain, if you buy them from the Orientals and sell them to Luoxing people, you can make more than ten times the profit.
They could all think that when they defeated the Chinese in the East, they would have as much silk as they wanted, and as much crystal porcelain as they wanted.
The people of Funan's desire for victory was easily aroused by the second generation.
However, Mangman II did not immediately start the army recklessly.
He must first understand the number of troops and combat power of the Eastern people, and then decide how large the army to be deployed.
After all, the Luo Xingren, who are neighboring the west of the empire, are still eyeing them.
"Tell me my order to arrest all the Eastern merchants in the empire, confiscate all their goods, and kill them if you dare to resist!"
Taking advantage of the lack of inquiries ahead for information, Mangman II ordered the confiscation of the property of the Eastern merchants.
In just a few days, Mangman II and his military generals lived a very leisurely life by annexing the property of merchants.
Anyway, for the Funan people, the motherland of these merchants will soon be flattened by the powerful Funan cavalry.
If you are plundering money at that time, it is better to grab it now.
"Your Majesty, our spies have already sent a message back. The strength of the Eastern Chinese is only some poor light-armed cavalry archers, and there are hundreds of armored cavalry, who are no match for our hundreds of thousands of troops at all."
A Funan minister reported to Mangman II.
"Then, there is no need for a hundred thousand troops at all. Only 100,000 or 20,000 iron armored guards are enough to defeat them."
When Mangman II heard the military intelligence ahead, he was immediately in joy.
"Your Majesty, the troops in Malacanda and Baktra are also ready to welcome the victory of the empire, and at least half of the princes of Linyi are ready to surrender."
When Mangman II heard this, he immediately felt that this victory belonged to him 100%.
Those rash and loss-making Orientals will soon pay the price of blood.
By that time, Mangman II would monopolize all silk and porcelain, and then double the marriage and sell it to Luoxing people.
The more Mangman II thought about it, the more I felt that the best way for those Easterners was to surrender on the spot, and any resistance was stupid and futile.
Just when the "King of Kings" of the Funan Empire was full of confidence in victory.
Hundreds of miles away from the east, the great Han Dynasty, Huan Wen, Duke of Pingnan, saw Aung Shan Mingmian sending the news back, but he did not have 100% confidence in his heart.
Because the Tocharis and Kangju people around were all said to each other, the Funan dynasty had a million troops, which was definitely all the pressure that Huan Wen had encountered before.
Aung San returns from Luoyang with his horse and sends the Great Emperor Liu Yu soon
Aung San returned from Luoyang with quick horses and brought the news that Emperor Liu Yu was about to send reinforcements to Huan Wen.
However, another news that followed made Huan Wen feel heavy again when he just got happy.
"What did you say? The Funan people gathered an army of 500,000?"
Huan Wen said with a look of surprise.
The person who just brought this news was Lu Zhong, the left general of the Duchy of Pingnan.
Lu Zhong was a native of Baima Qiang in the west. His tribe was named Bu Lugu. He followed the order of Pingnan Duke Huan Wen and changed it to the Han surname Lu.
However, even if Lu Zhong changed his surname to Han, his original irritable temperament did not change at all.
"King, yes, I just got the news of the secret spy. The king of Funan barbarians gathered troops from various central government units and had already gathered 500,000 people. He will attack us soon."
When Lu Zhong heard the news, he couldn't wait to come and give it back.
Huan Wen frowned. He really didn't expect that the Funan people could gather so many soldiers.
Five hundred thousand!
All his troops were just enough for 50,000, and the Han army's subsequent reinforcements would not exceed 80,000.
Maybe there is not even the leader of Funan people, and once the war begins, it will be dangerous.
"Don't worry, my king. I think there is definitely not so many of the 500,000 troops of Funan people." Aung San Mine next to him suddenly spoke.
"Oh, can those Funan people often use void soldiers?" Huan Wen's expression suddenly relaxed.
"The king is right. The people of Funan are most used to intimidation, and it is common for them to say that 10,000 troops are a hundred thousand troops."
As a Kangju, Aung San Mine Mine has long known the situation in Funan, which is not far away.
He began to patiently explain to Huan Wen.
Only then did Huan Wen and others realize that the means of saying less is more than that to scare the enemy are basically universal.
Especially among the people of Funan, they use it perfectly.
"The people of Funan attacked the Linyi people in the Lan family city, and only dispatched less than 10,000 people, but they promoted the 200,000 troops all over the world. In the end, they scared the other princes and princes in Linyi so that they dared not save them."
Aung San's words made Huan Wen a little amused.
He was obviously a battle formation, but he was almost lost by the trick of the withering insects of Funan Barbarians.
"However, the number of soldiers is really a frightening person. Even if I can't scare me, I'm afraid the princes and leaders of Linyi people will surrender."
Huan Wen had never had hope of loyalty to those Linyi people who surrendered, unless he could pull the troops over as soon as possible, and now he showed his will to resist the Funan people.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to let those Linyi people resist the Funan people by themselves.
"King, since the enemy can use this move, why can't we use it?" Lu Zhong said on the side.
"This is the truth, but whether it is the Funan people or the Linyi people, they all know that we have just moved here for a while, and there are not many soldiers in our headquarters. Even if we talk about it at most, we may not be able to surpass the Funan people."
Huan Wen's strength lies in his overly transparent and not much mystery about his military strength. It would not be believed that he would make up a random number of troops.
"King, there are not many soldiers from Funan. Except for the 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses directly under the 'Death Army' and the 'Undead Army', the rest of the soldiers were mostly servants recruited from all over the country."
If it were the original Aung San Miaomeng, he would never have said this.
Aung San Mine was just a businessman in Kangju. When he heard the reputation of the tens of thousands of imperial guards of Funan King, he would only lie on the ground and tremble, rather than the Yun Danfengqing who acted like now.
"Unlike the hundreds of thousands of military soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the Funan people conquered all over the country and then allowed the local tribe leaders to serve as officials. Except for summoning troops during the battle, there were no troops directly under the Funan King stationed."
Aung San Mine was very clear about Funan's trump card. As long as he could withstand the initial huge attack, the remaining Funan people's offensive would only become weaker and weaker.
Most of the Funan army went on temporary battles and could not achieve years of battle.
"If the Funan people want to fight us, they will definitely recruit vassals from the eastern part of the country. Whether it is Hualazimo, Marchiana, or Sistans, they will definitely be recruited."
Huan Wen knew that Aung San Miaomeng had said so much, and must have thought of some effective way to restrain himself.
"Tell me quickly, can you suppress the arrogance of Funan people?" Huan Wen said.
"King, since the Funan people can summon vassals, we can also summon vassals. Even if they cannot be used to fight head-on and let them attack the Funan people's borders, the king will send them some good weapons and armor to them, which can weaken the Funan people's arrogance." Aung San said.
"Also summoned Yi to join the army?"
Huan Wen was quite satisfied with this method.
