Chapter 313: The Battle of Tianzhu It can be said that this raid by Buluo Jishe II not only did not take advantage, but suffered a big loss, which can be described as a typical stealing of chickens and rice.
However, after all, he was a great lord, and although he failed, he did not kill the messenger in anger, but on the contrary, he saw an important message in it, and it was also the one he wanted the most.
Before the two sides went to war, Datang and Tianzhu can be said to not know each other, the biggest exchange event between the two sides was actually the time when Xuanzang learned the scriptures, and the rest was the information brought by the businessmen, so that Tianzhu knew that above his head, the country that was once very powerful and then became extremely weak, is now strong again again, destroying the enemies of the Quartet, countless captives kneeling at the feet of their emperor, and countless envoys gathered from all directions to their capital to worship, known as the dynasty of all nations.
From the mouths of the merchants and Xuanzang, the Tianzhu people knew the existence of Datang and the prosperity of Datang, but although they were envious of this, they were not much jealous.
You must know that from the very beginning, the Central Plains and Tianzhu are two different worlds, although the two sides have some exchanges, but the number is not much after all, basically each plays its own game, not to mention that Tianzhu has never been unified since the collapse of the Gupta Empire, the princes of all parties have sung and I appeared, fought against each other, and the chaos was endless, they didn't even get their own internal unity, even if they envied the Tang Dynasty, what was the use?
However, now it is different, the Tang Dynasty called, but with a wave of his hand, the countries of the Tianzhu Continent have not yet reacted, and the Ring Sun Empire is destroyed, and then the Tang Iron Horse swept across the North Tianzhu Continent, under the temptation of the so-called ban on the caste system, a large number of low-level untouchables have surrendered, and with their help, the Northern Tianzhu soon fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
And Nan Tianzhu also felt the threat at the first time, and under the impetus of the second generation of Buluo Jishe, all the countries of Nan Tianzhu quickly formed an alliance to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, which is the so-called South Tianzhu Alliance.
However, the Tang people have a good saying, knowing each other and knowing oneself is invincible, Tianzhu and Datang have too little communication, even if there is communication, most of them are exchanges between North Tianzhu and Datang, and South Tianzhu and Datang are far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and the two sides have basically not met.
In fact, until now, Nan Tianzhu only knew that it was the Tang Dynasty located further north of the Tianzhu Continent who was fighting against him, and the former overlord of the Tianzhu Continent, Tubo, had surrendered to the feet of the Tang Dynasty, and they had the most sophisticated weapons and the most heroic warriors in the world, but they had not obtained any useful information at all.
However, Datang is different, perhaps at the very beginning, Datang did not know much about Tianzhu, but because of the propaganda of eliminating the caste system, it attracted a large number of Tianzhu people, and countless Tianzhu people invested in their command, not only for them to guide and help transport materials, but also some low-level scholars for Datang to explain the current situation of Tianzhu, so that Datang's understanding of Tianzhu is clearer and clearer - at least compared to Tianzhu's understanding of Datang, Datang's understanding of Tianzhu is more and more clear.
And what Emperor Jishe II needs most now is to understand the Tang Dynasty, but where in this world would anyone want to be a traitor?
Especially now that Datang is so powerful, and it is getting stronger and stronger, who would do this kind of business that lacks the virtue of the eighteenth generation of ancestors?
So much so that even if Buluo Jishe II gave a heavy reward, he only got a little bit of information from the merchants who traveled between Tianzhu and Datang, which basically had no effect.
As for sending out the finest ......
Buluo Jishe II didn't think about it at all, let alone anything else, the Tianzhu people and the Tang people were different in appearance, and this alone dispelled his idea.
But now it's different, and now someone actually took the initiative to provide information for themselves.
Although he lost this battle, judging from the initial performance of the Tang army, the information that the man sent to him was true, if it wasn't for the Tang army's sudden killing of a cavalry in the end, he might really have won this battle.
Through this incident, Buluo Jishe II also understood an important information, that is, the Tang Dynasty is not a harmonious mess, some people want the Tang Dynasty to win this war and occupy this fertile land, and some people want the Tang Dynasty to lose, and then through this defeat, to find trouble for some people.
So Buluo Jishe II immediately found the third prince of the Pandya Kingdom who passed the information for himself, and then through the third prince of the Pandia Kingdom, he hooked up with the Chengjian River behind him, and with the provision of Chengjian Creek, the Buluo Jishe II had the most comprehensive information on the Tang Dynasty, so as to begin to formulate a more complete defense strategy.
It is also the second emperor of Buluo Jishe who has a full understanding of the Tang Dynasty, resulting in the fact that in the past half a month, the progress of the Tang Dynasty in South Tianzhu is far less than before, and the average day can only advance one mile, with such efficiency, if you want to conquer the Tianzhu Continent, when will you go?
Fortunately, Datang is not without arrangements, after such a long time of transportation, Datang has already transported a considerable number of elites from Datang to the back of Nantianzhu - a hidden port in the Kingdom of Aruba.
That's right, even if the countries of Nantianzhu are allies, they are not of one mind, after more than a year of war, many countries have understood that Datang is invincible, and have secretly released goodwill to Datang.
Aruba, in particular, was the first country to send messengers to express its loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, saying that they were willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty unconditionally as long as they could guarantee the lives of their royal family after the war.
Aruba is the smallest country on the Tianzhu Continent, located in the southwest of the Tianzhu Continent, bordering the sea in the west, the most powerful Shalouqi in the north, the Chola Kingdom in the east, and the Zheluo Kingdom in the south.
Especially in this war with the Tang Dynasty, the king of Aruba knew very well that the ambition of Buluo Jisha II was not only to repel the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, but his greater ambition was to gain higher prestige by repelling the Tang Dynasty, and to repel the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and completely turn the Southern Tianzhu Alliance into the alliance of the Jarroqi - in other words, he intended to take this opportunity to unify the Southern Tianzhu and achieve the magnificent cause that was not inferior to the King of the Ring Sun.
It may even go further, after destroying the invasion of the Tang Dynasty, he also plans to go north with the victory, unify the Tianzhu Continent, complete the hegemony that the King of the Ring Sun has not completed, and become the fourth dynasty to completely unify the Tianzhu Continent after the Huli Dynasty, the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Empire.
