Chapter 1634 Dead End
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 have any idea about the combat effectiveness of Lin Yiguo's army? 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 had not descended from the sky to assist in the battle, I am afraid that you would be the king of Zhenwa now.
In front of the Tang army, the real wax elephant soldiers who drove straight in were like mud in the flood. In an instant, they collapsed and became an army...
In comparison, isn't it obvious which one is stronger and which one is weaker?
Compared with the Tang army, which was well-equipped and armed 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 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 enter the capital, it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. Do you think you can drive them away after they are stationed in the capital? Due to circumstances, I was able to lease Da Nang to the Tang Dynasty. How could I possibly have to give up Sangha Pula City now? Meet Fan’s ancestors?”
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 without any problem? Now that Tang people realize that you are disobedient, they naturally want to take the opportunity to deal with you and replace you with someone who is obedient...
However, these words sounded like a complaint, which was bound to annoy Fan Zhenlong. He could only say: "But no matter what, a decisive battle with the Tang Army is a recipe for death. We cannot win... To say the least, even if we can win temporarily, the Tang Army will not win." Have invincibility The navy can transport tens of thousands of troops from the mainland to Da Nang in an instant. How can we resist it? By then, the Tang people will be so angry that not only Da Nang but also Sangha Pula City will be destroyed. It's possible..."
After hearing this, Fan Zhenlong suddenly shuddered. Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible for that kind of consequences to happen...
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, worried.
He naturally understands Fan Zhenlong's dilemma. Who is willing to hand over a great country to others? But the current situation is clearly that the Tang people realized that Fan Zhenlong was gradually out of control, and wanted to overthrow Fan Zhenlong's rule and replace him with an obedient king.
The path left in front of Fan Zhenlong is either to obey the orders 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 of the back hall, followed by two slender maids, holding 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 have a rest. Since you are home, don't think too much about the affairs of the court." ”
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, tea has become a symbol of identity and status.
Bhadrasura rubbed his eyebrows, took a sip from the tea cup, and sighed: "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?"
"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 how powerful the Tang army is. We know full well that even if we gather all the troops from across the country, we will still be attacking the enemy with force. When the time comes, we will offend the Tang people and a massacre will be inevitable.”
The people of 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 that Lin Yiguo is ready to take back Da Nang and cut off their wealth, 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! No matter who it is, tell him to go to the Yamen tomorrow to talk about something."
The slave did not retreat, but bowed, raised something that looked like a waist badge 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 just wants to see you when you see him? 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 must 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...
A 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 man sent by the Tang Dynasty Navy, but that this man 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 Kingdom, you met privately with an envoy from the Tang Navy. What do you want to do?
No matter what, he must not let others know that the Tang Dynasty Navy sent people to see him.
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 to protect him from being seen by others...
He 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 robe on Bhadrasura's body, the visitor bowed his head slightly and asked with a smile: "Isn't that quite the same?"
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 far away, but I can't greet you from far away. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful. Come on, come on. Let's go inside and talk."
The visitor was a little confused by his enthusiasm, and in a daze, he was dragged into the main hall by Bhadra Shura...
After the guests and the host were seated, Bhadrasura breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Dare you ask your name? You look so nervous. I must have never met you before, right?" (End of Chapter)
