Looking at it this way, if Li Cun, who destroyed the Li Dynasty and Champa in a short period of time, really wanted to destroy the Angkor Dynasty, then the Angkor Dynasty would definitely follow in the footsteps of the Li Dynasty and Champa.

.

Fortunately, the son of Suryavarman II listened to Li Cun, and Li Cun was not prepared to continue expanding westward.

But before the son of Suryavarman II could get too happy too early, Li Cun said again: "I have some small matters, and I would like your family to help me. I hope your family will not refuse."

The son of Suryavarman II immediately guessed that it was definitely not a good thing for Li Cun to "beg" their Angkor Dynasty, nor was it a "little thing" that could be easily accomplished, otherwise it would have already shocked the people of Indochina.

How could Li Cun use the word "Qiu"?

The son of Suryavarman II said respectfully: "Your Majesty has something to do, but please give it. The small country will try its best to complete it."

Li Cun said: "When I die, I will send someone to talk to you later."

After saying that, Li Cun asked the son of Suryavarman II to go down.

Soon, Chen Houtong and Liu Xuan approached the son of Suryavarman II and said to him: "My chief governor wants to buy 20,000 war elephants, 30,000 cattle, and 10 million dan of grain from your house.

Don’t refuse in your family.”

The son of Suryavarman II was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't be ridiculous, high official. How can my family get 20,000 war elephants? There are no 2,000 elephants, and 30,000 oxen cannot be produced, and there is no food."

There are no tens of millions of stones."

Liu Xuan translated Chen Houtong's words and said: "It is said that your dynasty is powerful and has 200,000 war elephants, but today you come to cry for poverty. Are you deceiving us who are ignorant?"

These 200,000 war elephants were blown away by Suryavarman II himself. The purpose was to intimidate the neighbors, but it was self-defeating.

The son of Suryavarman II quickly explained to Chen Houtong that their Angkor dynasty really did not have so many war elephants. This was all nonsense said by others. If their Angkor dynasty really had 200,000 war elephants, they would have defeated Champa long ago.

How could it be possible that Champa has been unable to be conquered for so many years?

Later, after a long discussion between the two parties, the son of Suryavarman II agreed to sell the Tiger Army 2,000 war elephants, 20,000 cattle, and 5 million stones of grain (delivered in three years).

When it came time to negotiate the price, the son of Suryavarman II almost lost his breath and vomited blood. Chen Houtong and Liu Xuan actually lowered the price to an extremely low price, and they also had to equip the war elephant with personnel and translators who could operate the war elephant.

(Including family members of these people must be brought along).

And this is not what makes the son of Suryavarman II vomit blood the most. What makes the son of Suryavarman II vomit blood the most is that the Tiger Army actually used banknotes issued by itself for transactions.

Isn't this an open robbery?

The son of Suryavarman II guessed correctly, Li Cun was almost grabbing these things.

——Of course, in Li Cun's view, he was promoting the banknotes issued by the Huben Army.

At present, the biggest threat to Annan Road and Dingnan Road is the powerful Angkor Dynasty.

The current stage is undoubtedly when Annan Road and Dingnan Road are at their weakest.

Therefore, Li Cun knew that he had to abolish some of the force of the Angkor Dynasty, and put an end to the idea of ​​Angkor Dynasty, an aggressive dynasty, to attack Annan and Dingnan.

To be honest, the two roads of Annan and Dingnan were just recovered, and there were many problems. Li Cun did not have much time to waste in Zhongnan, otherwise, Li Cun really wanted to destroy the Angkor Dynasty together.

You must know that the Angkor Dynasty is currently at its peak, and its wealth is by no means comparable to that of the Li Dynasty and Champa.

Perhaps if Li Cun defeated the Angkor dynasty, he would be able to vigorously issue gold standard for banknotes.

But at the last moment, Li Cun resisted his thoughts of blind expansion.

——It’s not that Li Cun can’t defeat the Angkor Dynasty, he really doesn’t have the talent to govern the Angkor Dynasty now.

As for cattle and grain, they are necessary for people's livelihood.

Moreover, in the next few years, the Central Plains will be particularly short of food. If Li Cun has a large amount of food, it will be more effective than any weapon.

The only problem is how to transport these war elephants, cattle and grain back?

Hmm... If you can't handle elephants and oxen, just take the overland route and go back slowly.

As for food... transport it slowly, as much as you can transport back. If you really can't transport it back, leave it to the people in Annan and Dingnan to eat.

Two days later, Duan Zhengyan, the leader of the Dali Kingdom, sent his important minister Gao Taiyun to Dingnancheng with a large gift to pay homage to Li Cun and expressed his support to Li Cun.

Li Cun repeated his old trick and used his own banknotes to buy 30,000 Yunnan horses from the Dali Kingdom.

Although this Yunnan horse is not suitable for use as a war horse, the Yunnan horse has a strong physique, is short and lean, is flexible in movement, is good at climbing and crossing mountains, can work long distances and endures rough feeding, and has good adaptability. It is especially suitable for use as a pack horse.

In less than two months, Li Cun successively destroyed Li Chao and Champa City, which not only showed his strong military strength, but also made people see Li Cun's aggressiveness.

Therefore, although it was not easy for Dali to gather 30,000 Yunnan horses, in order not to give Li Cun an excuse to invade Dali, Gao Taiyun agreed on behalf of Duan Zhengyan.

Afterwards, the Queen's Kingdom, Bagan, Toluobodi, Java, Sanfoqi, and Siam all came to Dingnancheng to meet Li Cun, presented heavy gifts, and expressed that from then on, the eastern half of the Maritime Silk Road would be

You have the final say on how to conduct maritime trade.

By the way, since Li Cun did not found the country, the publicity to the outside world was Li Cun, the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army. Perhaps due to a translation problem, people here in Indochina gradually called Li Cun's country "Cunguo"

, even after Li Cun Jianyuan was restructured, they still liked to use "Cun Guo" to refer to the country established by Li Cun...
