Come to Daming with military supplies

The Right Prime Minister's Mansion in Phnom Penh City is located in a very prosperous part of the city. Two two-meter-high stone lions stand there day and night in front of the gate of the mansion, which shows that the owner of this house is extremely noble.

In fact, in the Phnom Penh Dynasty, the right minister Du En was indeed very powerful, second only to the royal power, and was comparable to the left minister Ding Dingwei.

It seems to be to deal with the rumors of disagreement between the two, and it seems that King Boromo does not want to see the subordinates too united, which threatens his status. All along, the left and right have been arguing about various issues , Shi Er wins from the left side, and Shi Er wins from the right side.

Just this time, facing the question of whether the mercenaries should fight or make peace, the two prime ministers also had different opinions.On the left, Ding Dingwei will lead the battle, and on the right, Du En will make peace.It was also under the leadership of the two of them that the courtiers were naturally divided into two factions, and they followed suit.

Because the king has certain expectations for Siam and Ava, the current situation is that the left side is slightly more powerful, and the right side is slightly passive.Today, the right minister, Du En, returned to the mansion with a full face of displeasure, and went straight to the backyard.

It seems that it has formed a habit, and Yunque likes to go to the backyard of some important ministers, it seems that it is safer here.This time, he also lived in the backyard of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Du En came here with a displeased face. When he saw Skylark taking a nap with his eyes closed on a recliner, he couldn't help complaining before he came up to him, "Mr. Yun, I can really fall asleep. , don’t you know that we are about to send troops to Su Weng City?”

"Send troops?" Lark, who was lying on the chair, slowly opened his eyes.

"Yes, there are more and more officials, headed by the left prime minister Ding Dingwei, suggesting to send troops, and I can't stop it. I think you should leave Phnom Penh quickly." Du Che seemed to like seeing Yunque's surprised look.Since his appearance until now, he has always looked calm and calm, which makes him very uncomfortable. After all, he is also the right minister of a country, with a high position and authority, but he is just because he received 20 taels of silver from the other party. Not only did he stay at home, but he was still running around for him in the court. Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, he had already decided to stop.

As for the 20 taels of silver he received earlier, hehe, I'm sorry, he has spent a lot of time running around, so doesn't he need compensation?

"Oh." Skylark blinked his eyes, then leaned his head back again, and began to take a nap again.

Du En, who turned his head to the side and finished talking, was still waiting to see Yunque's panic-stricken look, and the other party might even beg him. If he was happy, he was taking some money from the other party, and it would not be a problem to ensure his safety.If you make him unhappy, then just wave your hands and drive people away. What a joke, I really think that mercenaries are the best in the world. Don't look at the current situation outside. Mercenaries have become the ones that everyone shouts exists.

He turned his head to the side, and there was no movement even after waiting for a few breaths. Out of curiosity, he turned around and saw Lark lying on his back with a comfortable look on his face. Without calling, "Mr. Yun, didn't you hear what I just said? Let me tell you"

Before he could clarify the seriousness of the matter, a piece of white paper with handwriting appeared in front of him, and the other end of the paper was being gently held by Lark.

"What is this?" With doubts on his face, could this be a life-saving banknote given to him by the other party?But this thing doesn't seem like it?

Curious in his heart, Du En still stretched out his hand to take it. He wanted to see what the other party meant. If he still dared to play tricks with him, hehe, then he must let the other party know that he, the prince of horses, has grown up too. Three eyes.

Taking the paper in his hand, he found that it was indeed not a bank note, but only a few lines of words were written on it.Instinctively, he saw these words one by one in his eyes, and what changed along with it was his original look of being supercilious and condescending.

When I read it for the first time, the look of pride has disappeared.

When I read it for the second time, cold sweat began to appear on the whole person's forehead.

When I read it again, the whole person's eyes on Skylark have completely changed.It was the kind of condescension before, but now it is indeed a great shock, and there is even a bit of flattery in it. "Mr. Yunyun, where did the things come from here, are you kidding?"

Slowly opened his eyes, Yunque smiled, "Are you kidding me? Do you think I will make such a joke with Mr. Right? Let me tell you, this is the battle report I just got, and it is [-]% accurate. How about it, should you Do you know what's going to happen next?"

At this time, Skylark was very determined and full of confidence.

Everyone says that a weak country has no diplomacy.And diplomacy can be divided into several types. For example, their infiltration work is also a diplomatic method.Skylark is very capable, but first of all he needs a platform, a platform that allows him to have the opportunity to perform.

The mercenary is getting stronger every step of the way, and winning every battle is a platform for him to show off.It was because of this guarantee that he was able to play like a fish in water when carrying out his work, using all his means, and performing wonderful infiltration battles one after another.

This time the mercenaries also did not disappoint him. When everyone thought that they were going to be attacked by three parties and suffered heavy losses, and even lost their status, who would have thought that under the command and planning of the sixth young master, the balance of victory would once again be... Where is the inclination on him?

Skylark was still lying there, not even trying to get up.But now Du En didn't mean to blame him, or he said that he couldn't care about these anymore, and was standing there constantly wiping cold sweat, thinking about the situation that the Phnom Penh Dynasty would face next.

What was written on the paper was the battle situation ahead, and it was sent to Skylark by wireless telegram. It clearly recorded the defeat of the Siamese army and the fact that the Ava army had to retreat without success.

What is written above is exactly what the previous Phnom Penh dynasty relied on.If the above records are true, then the current Phnom Penh Dynasty has no soldiers to help, and the whole country will surely be in danger.

As the right minister of a country, Du En naturally knew what this meant.Thinking about the worst, no one is holding back, and the mercenaries will become beasts coming out of the mountains. They can open their bloody mouths at will and bite the Phnom Penh Dynasty fiercely, and even kill them if they want to. It is not impossible to bite to death.

Thinking of such a result, and thinking that His Majesty still wants to continue to increase troops to Suweng City, wouldn't that be the same as angering the mercenaries?At that time, there is no need for any peace talks, just fight directly, until one party is eliminated.But no matter how you look at it, it seems that the person who was demolished will only be the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

The expression on his face changed again and again, and Du En's mind was running rapidly at this moment, and he gradually got an idea in his heart, that is, to take the initiative to seek peace before the other party sent troops.The slap is not a smiley person, is it? As long as the posture is lowered, the peace talks may still be successful. After all, the current Phnom Penh Dynasty army has not been completely hit hard, and it still has the power to fight back. Once the other two allies When seeing them desperately resisting, maybe they might send troops a second time?

.

Chapter 625 King Boromo

Opportunity is at hand.Du En, who had made up his mind, could no longer have the mocking look just now, but changed into a flattering smile, and stepped forward half a step, "Mr. Yun, can you open your eyes and tell the truth honestly?" What does Dangong think? After all, we are neighbors now, so it’s better not to hurt the peace.”

Du En took the initiative to bow his head, which was not surprising to Skylark.If after receiving this news, there were still people who advocated war against mercenaries, then such people would have put their life and death aside long ago, or they would have other ideas.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.The Sixth Young Master also sent a telegram, saying that they can agree to peace talks with the other party, but they must strive for benefits as much as possible.

This time, Yang Chendong did not treat Jiaozhi and Lancang kingdoms like he did before, sending troops would destroy the country. After all, it was not that he became kind, or that his ambition was satisfied.On the contrary, everything is for the sake of the overall situation and should not be taken for granted.

The background is not enough, and there are no more available people. Even if we send troops to destroy the Phnom Penh Dynasty now, it is just a mess.Not to mention, the price to be paid would be too high in a real fight. No one can guarantee whether Siam and Ava will send troops to support the second time. The mercenaries do not want to face such a situation without being fully prepared. .

Based on the idea of ​​dying with cold lips and teeth, no one knows what kind of power these two countries will explode when they face a life-and-death crisis.And once their army is really allowed to enter the Vietnam and Laos provinces in the rear, the loss will be immeasurable.Without sufficient preparation, even Yang Chendong didn't want to face this situation.

Because of this, Skylark still has a lot of work to do.If not, he might have had a showdown with Du En long ago, and either died or surrendered to make a decision.

After sighing in his heart, Skylark finally stood up from the reclining chair and stood in front of Du En, "Master Right, this time it was you who provoked the mercenaries first, and then we sent troops later. And even if When we dispatched troops, we also greeted you in advance, stating that after the envoy returns to Vientiane City, you will give us a definite answer. It is precisely because of your arrogance and unreasonableness that everyone meets each other , yes or no?"

"Yes, yes." With his head down, like a child who has done something wrong, Du Si nodded repeatedly.

Some people say that this time the mercenaries fought undeclared war, but that is not the case.Everything is just as Yunque said, the envoys from the Laotian Province gave them a chance, but no one took it seriously at the time, which led to the sudden destruction of Stung Treng City and the defeat of the [-] troops in Kratie City .

"Okay, now that the Right Prime Minister has admitted that it was your fault this time, then whether I hire the army to fight or shake hands with you will depend on your performance and what you can give. In short, it is a sentence, Don't take my words seriously this time, otherwise, there is no place to buy regret medicine. Well, I am waiting for you here, and you can also verify the authenticity of the intelligence information. In fact, there is no need to verify , presumably your fast horse scouting report should be able to send back the news in two days, but if you haven't made a decision by that time, my mercenary army will take the initiative to help you make a decision."

"No, no." Du En kept shaking his head.Before, it was because they put their hopes on the allies of the two countries that they thought about sending troops to the front to put pressure on the mercenaries.Now that he knows that all his allies have already been defeated or retreated, it is of course very clear how to choose.

When Du En came, he was arrogant, even a little arrogant.But when he walked, he bowed step by step, like a child asking for advice from his master, extremely respectful.

After finally exiting the backyard, Du En's expression returned to a serious look, "Come here, prepare the sedan chair, the truth is that I want to enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

To say that Dunn has not doubted whether the information provided by Skylark is true or false.But people have made it clear that they will not wander around, they will wait here, and the news will be confirmed in two days.Could it be that this person dared to make a joke about such a thing after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts?

Then if everything is true, it is necessary for him to report the situation to the king to know. It is better to be prepared than to know nothing when it is imminent.

In the king's palace, Du En stood in the side hall, opposite to King Boramo of Phnom Penh.

He was already a little fat, and wearing a golden-colored royal costume, Boramo squinted his eyes, "Master on the right, I think about it, the words of Mr. Zuo are not unreasonable, even if Siam There has been news from the Ava Kingdom that they will definitely send troops, and they should have already sent troops, so as allies, we should also send more troops to the front to put pressure on the mercenaries."

Boromo knew very well the reason why Du En came to see him. The two prime ministers had been arguing in the court hall in the morning. In the end, Du En's faction became weak. Even he, the king, was inclined to Ding Dingwei's opinion. Reinforcements are here.He didn't understand why he came to see him for a while?Do you want to continue lobbying yourself?

"Your Majesty, please take a look at the information obtained by a minister." Du En didn't explain anything, but just submitted the news he had read from Skylark. He believed that once he read it, the king's attitude would be inevitable. It's going to change a lot.

"The information you just got?" Boromo looked at Dunn with puzzled eyes.The power of intelligence is not in the hands of this right minister, how did he get the intelligence resources?

With a little puzzlement, Boromo took the paper with handwriting from the hand of the eunuch beside him. After looking at it casually, his eyes soon became very large, and then his whole body began to tremble slowly, so that In the end, the hands holding the paper were also trembling.

"Right Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, did you get the information from anywhere? Why doesn't this king know about it?" Boromo suddenly raised his head, and looked at Du En with a frightening gleam in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this news was sent to my mansion by a businessman who claimed to be from Laos while I was away, and I only saw it when I got back to my mansion." Du En naturally wouldn't tell about the fact that Skylark was in his mansion. Do you know if the king will convict himself of collaborating with the enemy in a fit of anger?Besides, he is still counting on the personal relationship with Skylark to reap some benefits in the future. Of course, this person must hide a secret.

"Laos businessman?" Poromo was not very satisfied with this answer. He really wanted to ask why such a businessman would go to this right minister instead of looking for himself or other courtiers?

But before Poromo could ask, Du En had already taken the initiative to explain, "Your Majesty, my steward said that the Lao businessman would come to see my servant again. But in my opinion, these are not important, and Is the news true, and if so, how do we respond next?"

"Yes, yes, according to the right witness, is this news true?" Poromo asked with a hint of eagerness as if his words had awakened the dreamer.In fact, it doesn't matter how the news comes, the most important thing is whether it is true or false.If it is true, it would be a great mistake to send troops to the front at this time. What's the matter, the other two allies have stopped their troops. As for the army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, do you want to have a head-to-head confrontation with the mercenaries?
