There is no need to talk about the truth about Cui Da. It is related to human nature. People are born suspicious. If you give him too much, they will doubt your original intention and sincerity.

The things you get through hard struggle will be extremely cherished, and you will regard these successful examples as your principle of being in the world. When a person with a low status asks for or negotiates with a high position, the high position only needs to create some difficulties for them, and finally give the low position a 20% discount to express your agreement. The low position will be satisfied because his expectations are not that high. The reason for high conditions is that those unreasonable conditions are waiting to be cut off by the high position.

No one has ever made any promises to the Khmer people, and Nong Zhigao's request for surrender was not accepted by the arrogant Song Dynasty, let alone the legendary savages such as the Khmer people.

Therefore, the Khmers never expected their requests to be adopted by Yun Zheng, and they themselves knew that it was unrealistic. If Yun Zheng agreed at once, there would be no doubt that this was deceiving himself. Those Khmers would definitely cheat the Song army in the jungle.

If Yun Zheng really considered their requirements and found that there were many unreasonable aspects, and then expressed his own conditions, it means that the Song army is indeed considering giving them some benefits. No matter what the conditions proposed by Yun Zheng were, this is a good start, which shows that the Song army was sincere in cooperation with itself.

Cui Da was used to being a businessman and habitually wanted to maintain a harmonious scene. The only thing he forgot was that the Khmers really wanted to get some practical help from the Song Dynasty, and such a desire was very strong.

A dark monk like black charcoal sat cross-legged on a huge stone, with only a piece of white cotton around his waist, revealing his skinny waist and two thin legs. Those eyes were as clear as the eyes of a child, and one mouth was an authentic Song Yin.

"The general agreed to meet with Yesou in person, and the Khmers will remember this scene."

Yun Zheng frowned and said, "You are a wise man, and you should see that this time we really need the help of the Khmer people. You are descendants of the forest. Entering the forest is like returning to your own home, but we are real outsiders. If Li Dezheng of Jiaozhi was not a crime, we would not have the idea of ​​entering the forest."

The monk nodded and smiled, "Ye Sou knows the truth. When Emperor Taizu of your country swung his jade axe by the Dadu River, he said. As my country ended here, Ye Sou understood that the Song Dynasty was not a country with ambitions for other countries.

General and Li Dezheng were cruel and unruly, and the people of the forest were very angry at him, so the general was ready to attack the brutal king, and the people of the forest were all happy. If possible, please agree to the Khmer soldiers as the general's front."

The monkey put a table on the stone, arranged some desserts and tea sets and quietly stepped down.

Yun Zheng sat opposite the monk, poured a cup of tea for the monk himself and said, "I originally wanted to ask about the master's name. After meeting the master, I felt that it was no longer necessary. A wise person does not need to distinguish with a name. A wise man is enough to represent you. To be offensive, I used to think that most of the people in the forest were barbarians. I didn't expect that the master taught me a lesson. There are wise wise men in the mountains and fields, and I understand the truth and know how to advance and retreat, so that Yun Zheng can be respected and give me a cup of fragrant tea."

The monk smiled and said, "The monk's real name is Yesou. I have heard that the fragrance of the Song Dynasty is a magical object of meditation and enlightenment. Yesou has tasted the wonderful taste from Mr. Cui. I heard that the method of drinking is also from the general. You must taste it."

Yun Zheng smiled but did not answer. The two of them drank the tea in the cup. Yesou began to tell Yun Zheng about the origin of the Khmer people. The Khmers were the owners of the Mekong Delta region a long time ago. As early as 300 years ago, this land belonged to the Zhenla Kingdom. The territory of Zhenla Kingdom was vast, and the territory that stretched for thousands of miles was once powerful. However, later Zhenla split into Lu Zhenla and Shui Zhenla. Later, the Angkor Dynasty unified Zhenla, but lost a lot of land, including the prosperous south of Jiaozhi Kingdom.

The Khmer people were descendants of Shui Zhenla. However, after Lu Zhenla unified Shui Zhenla, their descendants were expelled from the Zhenla Kingdom. They thought about it day and night and wanted to regain the land where their ancestors slept.

"The Song Dynasty's conquest of Jiaozhi this time was not intended to destroy the country, but to punish it. The Song Dynasty did not allow the quiet south to be affected by any force. Nong Zhigao was a subordinate of Jiaozhi. Since he dared to invade the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi must be prepared to accept revenge on the Song Dynasty.

Nong Zhigao was dead, which was not enough to calm the anger of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, so there was a plan for the expedition to Jiaozhi. Since the Khmers wanted to restore the glory of their ancestors, the Song Dynasty was happy to see it. However, the demands you put forward were too high. Neither me nor the Guangnan pacifier Yu Jing did not have the right to agree to the conditions you put forward."

Yesou drank another cup of tea: "It was not me, the Khmers, who had been coerced to the general, and searched for two roads in the jungle that had been abandoned for almost twenty years. Our Khmers paid a heavy price. These roads were also secret channels for the Khmers and Song dynasties to trade. They were the foundation of our Khmers and could not know it unless the elders.

Once the general raids Shenglong Mansion from these roads, he will be able to come to Shenglong City within ten days. Not only can he avoid the passes along the way, but he can also catch Li Dezheng off guard. The general can also establish supreme martial arts honors. Isn’t it necessary for the general to make some contributions under such convenient conditions?"

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Okay! Very yes, but you must act within your ability and not open your mouth wide. For example, the status of Guangyuanzhou is not to be affected, and the Song Dynasty is even more impossible for you to establish the Zhenla Kingdom in Guangyuanzhou.

The Zhenla Kingdom now has a visit to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty once every three years. It is very respectful. We cannot ignore the opinions of King Zhenla. What's more, the Champa City where Zhenla is located is a very important maritime transaction object for my Song Dynasty, so you will die."

Yesou seemed to know the officialdom of the Song Dynasty very well, and was silent for a moment and said, "Since we cannot give us a place to live, can't we give us the force to protect ourselves?"

Yun Zheng sighed and said, "Master, the relationship between countries is different from that between merchants. I am sure you are not prepared to establish a country.

If I didn't want to get the sincere help from the Khmers, I would agree to the conditions you put forward and fulfill my promise in the victory.

Let's assume that the Song Dynasty allowed you to establish a country in Guangyuanzhou. Have you ever thought about what you were going to do after the founding of the country? Once the founding of the country is to completely control your own destiny. Can your little force protect you forever? If you want to entrust the security of your country to the Song Dynasty, I guarantee that the price you pay will be very high, so high that you can't bear it at all.

Jiaozhi, who restored national strength, will also attack you at the first time. So, the founding of a country is a luxury for you now. No country can be easily established. It must go through countless hardships and difficulties before it can finally take root and sprout.

People can only rely on themselves, and the country is even more so. Is the army I helped you build or your own army? What is the army? It is a fighting body with souls. Do you think it is appropriate for me to inject the soul of the Song Dynasty into your army?"

The Yesou monk closed his eyes in pain and said for a long time: "Your words are right, but you don't know the pain that Li Dezheng exerted on the Khmer people. We have no land, cannot read, can't be officials, can't eat delicious rice, and even our daughters cannot marry their beloved men. They are destined to become female slaves of the Jing people since they were born. We can't bear such pain. In a while, our ancestral temple will disappear by the river."

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I can't give you land or your army, but I can give you weapons, a large number of weapons. As for how to fight and how to get back your rights from Li Dezheng, it's your own business. If we can really raid the Shenglong Mansion, what you want to deal with may become another emperor. Li Dezheng, regardless of life or death, he needs to go to Tokyo Bianliang City to give His Majesty our country an explanation!"

The wild sole opened his clear eyes and looked at Yun Zheng word by word: "Would you like to arm us?"

Yun Zheng laughed loudly, knocked on the table and said, "It's not considered an armed person. I just look down on the weapons of the Jiaozhi people and don't plan to take them away. As for whoever took those weapons, it's not my business."

Yesou stood up and confirmed again: "Are you saying true?"

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "We must leave our transportation capacity to reprint the gold jewelry of Shenglong Mansion. There is no extra space to reprint those useless weapons. So, as long as you bring your people to help us open the way, after the Song army defeated the enemy, the remaining weapons will be yours. The more capable you have, you will arm your own people.

I took pictures of some smart people standing in my military formation to see how our generals and schools commanded and how much they could learn. We would not deliberately explain it, but all depends on our personal understanding.

Sage, with weapons, you have force. As for how to turn these forces into army, it is your own business for you Khmer people. If you want to gain an army without fighting through battle formations, there is no possibility. Your own strength is truly powerful."

Yesou also smiled and sat in front of Yun Zheng again and said, "Can we send a thousand people to follow you to pick up the weapons you don't want?"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "As long as you can open up a broad road for the army, you can take the entire clan to Shenglong Mansion with you. Except for the Guancang and the Imperial Palace, everything you can grab is your own."

The Yeshou stood up and bowed and said, "The people who have transformed into the wilderness will gather their tribesmen to open the way for the general!"

Yun Zheng raised his glass and smiled, "I'm working hard!"
