Chapter 1476 The Last Battle

Vietnam front line...

When Li Xiang knew the news, he didn't know what to say. After all the hard work, Jin King Li Zhi finally returned to Chang'an City, and now he has to go back to his fiefdom.

You must know that although his fiefdom is not a bitter cold place, it is far from the prosperity of Chang'an City, but this guy can't control so much anymore. If he is allowed to continue to stay in Chang'an City, he is afraid I can't live that long. No matter whether I go out in public or privately, I always feel that the people around me look at me with strange eyes.

To put it bluntly, this trip to Vietnam did not bring any benefits. On the contrary, it ruined my reputation. Some yamen of the imperial court even publicly announced that His Highness the King of Jin was not doing it because of what you think, but purely because of the soil and water. Not convinced.

Jin Wang Li Zhi also bribed some storytellers in Chang'an City and asked them to clarify for themselves. Li Xiang wanted to laugh when he saw this. To deal with the rumors of the common people, if you respond, then there will be more versions of this rumor. Only taking time to slowly fade away is the most correct way to deal with it.

The common people are waiting for your response. No matter how you respond at this time, the final result will not be what you want. Seeing that His Highness King Jin is leaving the capital now, you will know whether the methods he has in mind are feasible. It worked.

Huo Qubing and Changsun Ze also suppressed their laughter. They were tortured a lot by this prince. Although he did not have much power in his hands, no matter where he went, the people below would follow him, so A lot of military affairs have been delayed. Now seeing his situation in Chang'an City, both of them want to go out and set off firecrackers. You may not have expected such a result when you dealt with us.

Li Xiang also knew that he had to maintain the dignity of the royal family, so he did not discuss the matter in public. However, he still called Changsun Ze in private and asked Li Zhi about some things in the south, such as whether he had given away the female monkey. When I came here, Changsun Ze was laughing so hard that he couldn't even stand upright. How can you believe this, Your Highness?

You can't blame Li Xiang for believing this, mainly because the secret letter from Chang'an City said that he had a nose and eyes, and even someone close to His Highness King Jin stood up to testify, so Li Xiang also felt a little strange. The so-called three people become tigers may be what they are talking about, not to mention that King Li Zhi of Jin often did some weird things, maybe he really had sex with a female monkey...

Seeing the whispers of his men, Li Xiang coughed. These people also became serious. We have reached the last stop in Vietnam. It is enough to enjoy the gossip news in Chang'an City. The most important thing is to Winning the war in South Asia.

His Highness told us yesterday that after this war is over, the entire South Asia region will be under the management of the Annan Protectorate. The task at that time will be to sort out this region. In the future, we will use this place as our base. We will launch an attack on Tianzhu and build a large number of seaports so that our naval warships can be stationed here.

The terrain in the inland areas of South Asia is too complex, so we still adopt the method of appointing rulers. In the inland areas, we appoint some local puppets and let them rule for us locally. We directly rule the coastal areas, and of course we govern the inland transportation arteries. , we also need to station our own troops, otherwise those puppets will betray easily.

"Have you found out everything about the situation with the King of Vietnam?"

Li Xiang cleared his throat, it was time for the last stop.

"Back to Your Highness, our spies from all walks of life have sent back the news. Now they have arrived at Shuicheng in the south. They currently have more than 30,000 troops, but more than 5,000 of them came down from the mountains. Vo Nguyen Ho was also killed by the Vietnamese king."

After hearing what Huo Qubing said, Li Xiang was really surprised. The general on the mountain had made great contributions to Vietnam. Not only did he kill all the people in his hands, but his body was also irreparably damaged. Even if he is not a hero, there is no need to kill him at this time. It seems that the Vietnamese king is also in a state of madness.

"The King of Vietnam's messenger is also here, and he should want to negotiate peace with us."

Chang Sunze thought of another thing. In fact, they had received the letter some time ago, but according to Li Xiang's order, it is impossible for us to negotiate with them at this stage. Although we can get certain benefits at the negotiation table, The current situation is conducive to our war. After the negotiations are completed, they will leave too many residues, so we can use war to clean them up. This is the most beneficial thing for us at this stage.

"It's still my original statement, let all armies continue to move south. This time we will not negotiate with them. The two sides have fought such a long war. If he surrenders, can we still save his life? If so, How do we treat the thousands of brothers we sacrificed? This war is also cruel to us."

Li Xiang's words made the two of them nod. Especially in mountainous battles, a lot of people died on our side, and the brothers have suffered enough, especially in the rainy season weather in the south, so no matter how powerful the other party is, Sincerely, it is impossible for us to reconcile with them. To end this war with war can be regarded as a tribute to the spirits of our brothers in heaven.

"The naval warships will be ready in five days. They will bombard the docks of Shuicheng at sea. Our land forces will also start attacking at the same time. According to what we know, it will only take two or three days at most. Should be able to break through their last line of defense."

Li Xiang felt that Chang Sunze's words were a bit too optimistic.

"I think some things may not be that simple. The common people we met before did not have such deep feelings for their court. Now, the people who have retreated to the south are extremely supportive of their court, so the people at the last stop At that time, we may encounter huge resistance, so we need to raise the level of reserves of various weapons and equipment again. "

Li Xiang didn't want to overturn the car at the end, so he asked his men to continue to stock up on various weapons and equipment. When it rained a few days ago, a batch of gunpowder got wet, which made our muskets useless. This time we have to Just reserve a lot. (End of chapter)
