Zhaoen was drinking quietly in his mansion, but the people sent out to ask for help arrived at him first.

"What are you talking about! The King of Jiaozhi was defeated by the Song army?" Zhao En was shocked.

"Yes."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure, I saw with my own eyes that a large number of Song troops were stationed on the banks of the Red River, and the city was also opened."

Zhao En began to think deeply.

Zhaoen is a typical opportunist.

When the Song army came to attack the royal capital of Champa, he took advantage of the fact that he was at home and had more troops, so he advocated fighting against the Song army.

Why?

Could it be that he is called to be patriotic?

Of course not.

He wanted to use this to enhance his political prestige. As long as he defeated the Song army, he could replace Yin Jiangtao as prime minister.

In his opinion, the probability of defeating the Song Army is very high.

Later, after losing the battle, Harivarman wanted to kill him. In order to survive, he came up with the idea of ​​seeking help from Jiaozhi.

However, as a speculator, and having just experienced a failed speculation in which he bet on the wrong money, Zhao En still reflected on it.

He immediately realized the truth of the world: eggs cannot be put in one basket, and girls cannot be hung on a tree. They must be prepared in many ways!

So he sent someone to contact the pro-Song businessmen privately and found Sangbo, leaving himself a way out.

Zhao En took a deep breath, it seemed that he had left the right way out.

Zhao En said: "This is a serious matter, so please don't tell His Majesty yet. I will tell you personally."

"Wouldn't this be good?"

"Now is a special period. There are some things you don't understand. If I tell His Majesty, Your Majesty may question the authenticity of this matter. You will be the unlucky one."

"What should I do, little man?"

Zhao En said: "You stay with me for a while first and don't go anywhere."

Zhaoen turned around and asked someone to find the sangbo.

"What is the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the Song Army?"

"It's still under consideration," Sang Bo said.

"How can we get the commander-in-chief of the Song Army to agree as soon as possible?"

Sangbo said: "The angel introduced a kind of banknote to the villain. They hope to use it here to trade with China through banknotes. I just don't know what your opinion is..."

"No problem, I have no problem at all!"

Not to mention assisting the Song Dynasty in promoting the handover of banknotes, even if Zhao En was asked to wash his mouth and kneel down to lick Qian Yuqing, he would still be willing.

Sang Bo quietly visited Song Ying again and conveyed Zhao En's sincere and urgent wish.

The seventh year of Jingkang year, April 23rd.

Zhao En finally received Qian Yuqing's promise.

Early in the morning on April 24th, the east gate of the royal capital was suddenly opened.

Many things in the world are such coincidences. The dramatic scene that was just played in Thang Long City was played out again in the royal capital of Champa in the blink of an eye.

All we can say is that civilizations and systems may be different, but human nature is the same.

After the Song army entered the city, Zhao En came with a large number of scoundrels.

In front of Qian Yuqing, he denounced the chief culprit of this war, King Harivarman of Champa, and the second most war criminal Prime Minister Yin Jiangtao.

"The detainment of the merchants was also done by Harivarman. He was stupid and incompetent. He believed Jiang Tao's slander and it was his idea to kill the Song merchants."

Qian Yuqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, no, no, being able to serve the Celestial Empire is a blessing that a villain has earned through three lifetimes of training."

Zhao En naturally did not surrender alone, he also brought with him many powerful figures from the army and bureaucrats from his faction.

In the morning, the interior of the royal capital was already in chaos.

Rumors were flying all over the sky. Some said that the Song army was going to massacre the city, some said that many people had died in the east of the city, and some said that the king had escaped.

When the news reached the palace, Harivarman was still sleeping soundly.

When he was woken up, he was still confused and just asked: "Have the people sent to Cochin come back?"

"Your Majesty, the Song army has entered the city."

"Oh, the Song army has entered the city..." Harivarman rubbed his eyes and thought for a while before jumping up, "What did you say!"

"The Song army has entered the city!"

"Go to Zhao En quickly! Go quickly! I want to question him!"

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is outside asking for an audience."

Harivarman shouted while putting on his clothes: "Quickly pass!"

Yin Jiang Tao came in in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Zhao En has joined the Song army!"

"What!" Harivarman was furious, "This is eating the inside out!"

"Your Majesty, prepare quickly and run away! I have prepared for Your Majesty."

Harivarman regretted in his heart: "I mistakenly believed in the call to grace! It's my fault!"

"The matter has come to this. Your Majesty, please don't regret it anymore."

"Where can I go now?" said Harivarman. "To Cochin?"

"No, no, the people sent to Jiaozhi have come back a long time ago. They went to Zhaoen's mansion first. I guessed that Jiaozhi was unwilling to send troops, so Zhaoen only took advantage of the situation!"

I have to admit one thing: in this world, those who adapt to the wind can always get something more easily.

"That……"

"Escape from Chenla."

Harivarman disguised himself as a common man and fled the palace.

When Zhaoen brought people to the palace, Harivarman was not found.

At noon, Qian Yuqing also arrived at the palace.

Qian Yuqing's approach was different from Wu Lin's approach. Qian Yuqing did not go on a killing spree here.

Why are there two completely different situations in Champa and Jiaozhi?

First, Qian Yuqing himself was a businessman.

Second, the systems and ideologies of Champa and Jiaozhi are completely different.

Jiaozhi is a copycat of the Celestial Dynasty, and there is always a legally qualified king. As long as there are still people in this legal family alive, there will be ambitious people who come out to cause trouble.

But Champa is different. Champa believes in Hinduism.

The regime under the Hindu ideology does not have the tenacity of the Celestial Empire, and there will be no extremely strong resistance.

This is also the reason why the dynasty changes in ancient China were extremely bloody, because the orthodox legal ideology of the Celestial Dynasty had too strong a control over people's hearts.

If we don't cut the grass and root out the roots, it will be easy to cause trouble.

The sum of these two comprehensive factors is the root cause.

However, Qian Yuqing still announced the crimes of Champa King Harivarman, but never mentioned his intention to establish a new king, and the nobles also kept silent.

On the contrary, all the arrested businessmen were released.

At this point, the core area of ​​the Champa Kingdom was under the control of the Song Dynasty.

The capture of Champa has two advantages in terms of resources:

First, Champa is extremely rich in natural products, which can provide blood transfusions to the Song Dynasty.

Second, Champa Port is not far from Srivijaya. It can be used as a supply point for the Song Dynasty maritime merchants heading south, which greatly reduces the risks of South China Sea trade.

From then on, there will inevitably be a wave of people going to the South China Sea along the coast.

It can be said that the battles between Jiaozhi and Champa allowed the new faction of the Song Dynasty to finally gain a firm foothold.
