Sometimes the beginning, end and even the process of a war are full of magical colors.
For example, the current Wei navy was fine when they came, but now they find that they can't go back!
Zhen Xiong took the remaining more than 300 warships and prepared to return to his own territory to huddle up and defend.
After all, it is not easy to lead an army out by yourself, and it is not easy for Tang Ping to lead the Tang Dynasty navy all the way to Nanyang. He still has a foundation in Nanyang, but their Tang Dynasty has no roots.
If you can't beat him head-on, then let's drag him out and see who can drag him down. He brought so much wealth from East Vietnam, and even if he squats here in Nanyang for two or three years, he can still live comfortably. The Tang navy brought by Tang Ping couldn't float on the sea for two or three years, right?
It's a pity that dreams are beautiful, but reality is hard-core.
When Zhen Xiong's fleet returned, they found that the dock was gone.
An earthen wall was built on the shore, and the flag of Sri Lanka was hung on it.
To put it simply, when Zhen Xiong personally led the entire Wei navy to encircle and suppress Tang Ping's Tang navy, his home was stolen.
"Shi! Li! Buddha! Die!" Zhen Xiong said every word through gritted teeth.
He learned about the collusion between Srivijaya and the Tang Dynasty from Zhen Yugan, but he thought that a lowly person like Srivijaya would not take action casually when the situation of the war was unclear.
Moreover, except for the Wei navy, he gathered all the remaining troops to defend his country's capital, but to his surprise, he was captured by Srivijaya.
Now that the docks have been burned down, it is impossible for these large warships to dock.
As for sending small boats to land on the beach, those defenses on the shore are not vegetarian!
"Your Majesty, Srivijaya has sent an envoy."
"Let him come up!"
The rope ladder was lowered, allowing a chubby figure to climb up panting.
"Balabu! How dare you come to see me!"
Of course Zhen Xiong knew the person who came, he was Sri Lanka's important minister and uncle of the king, Balabu.
"Looking at what Your Majesty said, as the envoy of Sri Buddha's death, why did Balabu not dare to come?"
"Hmph, you occupy the capital of our country, so you are not afraid that I will kill you here? You know, I, Zhen Xiong, do not talk about the rules of fighting between two armies and do not kill envoys."
"Your Majesty, please be patient. Although Balabu is afraid of death, if he can exchange for countless lives with his own death, is it worth it?"
It was not explained, but everyone knew that the countless lives that Bala Bu mentioned were those who stayed in the capital of the Wei Kingdom. Not only were Zhen Xiong’s harem, but also the families of officials at all levels who followed him on the expedition. in.
If they dared to attack Balabu, then Srivijaya would dare to attack those "hostages".
Killing Bala Bu can indeed relieve his anger for a while, but it will not do any good to the situation.
"Lord Palabu, I wonder what the death of Sri Sri Buddha means? Why did you occupy our capital when my army was on the march?"
"Capital?" Balabu looked confused: "I was lucky enough to come here once a few years ago. I haven't heard of what kind of capital this is?"
"you!"
Zhen Xiong pointed at Balabu, but couldn't say another word.
"Your Majesty, in fact, I do have some friendship with Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty. If your Majesty is willing to surrender to our country, my wife, Livers, is willing to come forward and negotiate with Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty. In comparison, they will give me this thin face."
Finally, Balabu finally revealed his final purpose.
Friendships between countries are based on the same interests.
Sri Lanka was convinced that the Wei Dynasty would not be able to gain favor from the Tang Dynasty this time, and even if it could win, it would be severely damaged.
Moreover, they made a plan and then acted. It was not just the capital of the Kingdom of Wei that was destroyed. All the docks nearby that could be docked were demolished by them, in order to trap the Wei navy on the sea. .
No matter how powerful his navy is, if he cannot get supplies, he can still grow food and fresh water on the sea.
Srivijaya's army was powerful, but what was lacking was his navy. If the Wei navy can be conquered in this way, then its military strength will no longer have shortcomings.
What's more, the huge amount of wealth that Zhen Xiong brought from East Vietnam is also here. Their palace is even more luxurious than Sri Lanka's. After occupying the capital of the Wei Dynasty, the treasure house is the Balabudur Palace. Dazzled.
Minister Srivijaya, who was initially opposed to sending troops to the Wei Dynasty in advance, also bowed down in front of the huge wealth and shouted that the ruler of the country was wise. It can only be said that it was not for nothing that Srivijaya was able to dominate Nanyang for many years. This abacus was very successful.
But one thing they miscalculated was that Zhen Xiong knew that Tang Ping would never let him go.
And once he handed over his military power, he would be at the mercy of Srivijaya. It is still unknown whether Srivijaya would really not hand over himself to the Tang Dynasty.
】
Just when Zhen Xiong was hesitating, the watchman shouted from the observation deck: "The Navy of the Tang Dynasty is coming."
That's right, although they ran all night first and ran back day and night, Tang Ping and the others still caught up with them due to their speed, and they happened to be stuck here.
"It seems that Your Majesty still has something to do, so I won't bother you any more. I would like to ask Your Majesty to consider my proposal. I will take my leave first."
Bala Bu is so beautiful, this Tang Ping is simply his lucky star, and the timing of this is also clever, which can be said to be the biggest bargaining chip for him.
He had just scanned the ship when he got on the ship. The morale of the Wei navy was low. Many sailors had their heads lowered and were listless, and many of them were stained.
It was obvious that he had suffered a big loss from the Tang Navy. Now the Tang Navy is chasing after him, which confirms his idea.
Balabu disembarked from the boat and left. What Zhen Xiong didn't notice was that there were several boats next to him, and there were also Srivastava's envoys.
Among them is the battleship where General Rong is located.
"General Rong, please consider the proposal of our king carefully. It is said that good birds choose trees to roost. Regardless of whether Zhen Xiong surrenders or not, Sri Lanka will definitely take him out of the way. But General Rong is different. If General Rong is willing Join me as Liver, and our Majesty guarantees that the position of commander of the navy will still be yours in the future."
Seeing General Rong's silence, Sri Lanka's envoy knew that he was tempted and stopped urging him. He just said: "General Rong, think about it carefully, but I think General Rong understands that the more warships you bring, the more warships you bring. The more rights you will have in our country in the future.”
When the signal for the entire army to mobilize came, General Rong had a gloomy look on his face. Finally, he only squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Wait for my news!"
