Chapter 365 The Sorrow of Angkor

Upon hearing this news, they were all in an uproar.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Dali and Dai Viet possess extremely strong military capabilities, and Dai Viet's territory is very long and narrow, with a large number of troops stationed in every place. How easy would it be to conquer such a place? What you're saying is definitely not true!"

The others nodded in agreement; it sounded utterly unbelievable.

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao yawned and said with a half-smile.

"I am the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and everything I say is true. Now that both countries have been destroyed, and even the Khmer army has retreated, what other methods do you have?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. At this moment, the envoys from various countries looked at the envoys of Dali and Dayue with sorrow in their eyes. If these two people were still of some use, then supporting them would not be a big problem. However, these two countries no longer existed. Supporting them now would be tantamount to courting death.

After they got to this point, they looked at each other. At this moment, the envoys from Dali and Da Yue, along with ordinary doctors, were kneeling on the ground, looking as if their souls had been taken away. Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled and said.

"Alright, that's settled then!"

"You two should leave!"

Then a number of soldiers came from behind and dragged these people away.

At this moment, the remaining envoys couldn't help but tremble. Indeed, the Ming Dynasty was truly terrifying. They had thought that defeating the Liang King was just a coincidence, but they never expected that in such a short time, the two old kingdoms of Dali and Da Yue would be destroyed.

The key point is that, according to what Crown Prince Zhu Biao said, the Khmer Empire, the dominant power in their southeast, should have also sent troops, but it was of little use.

The Ming Dynasty is now so powerful.

Only then did the various countries realize that if they continued to oppose the Ming Dynasty, they would likely only face certain death.

As a result, the envoys from several countries adopted a much better tone than before.

They even demanded to become vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction. The reason why Dali and Dayue were conquered so quickly this time was to make an example of them.

Otherwise, these people would think that the Ming Dynasty didn't have the strength to deal with them.

At this time, Zhu Xiong Ying in the southwest began to govern the southwest.

They began developing the local land by establishing Yueguo and Nanzhang as counties, and even promulgated many policies.

It is precisely for this reason that many local people have flocked to these two places.

After all, the policies provided by the Ming Dynasty were far too generous. Compared to the lives of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, the lives of these people were simply unattainable for most.

When the emperor of the Khmer Empire learned of what was happening at the front, his face turned very grim.

He had always thought that the Khmer Empire was the overlord of the south, and that no country in the surrounding region could provoke it. Even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to attack it, it would have to think twice. However, what he did not expect was that the Ming Dynasty would directly attack it this time.

After all, the company hasn't paid attention to their feelings.

In particular, they wanted to send their troops to support Dai Viet, but they did not expect that their reinforcements would be destroyed before they even arrived at this old country. Soon, Nan Xang also began to submit to the Ming Dynasty. These two places completely became Ming territory. Just thinking about this place made him feel uneasy.

If the Ming Dynasty truly establishes a foothold in this place, it would be an extremely terrifying prospect for them, as they could attack from here. They could advance or retreat as needed, and could even completely divide their territory in two.

If it were before, he wouldn't have been worried about these things. After all, the Khmer Empire was very powerful, and it had no rivals among the southern countries. However, after he learned about the true strength of the Ming Dynasty, he fell silent.

Compared to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Khmer Empire seems to be really nothing.

At this moment, the Khmer emperor looked at the civil and military officials beside him and said.

"My esteemed ministers, this matter is an utter disgrace to our Khmer Empire!"

"We were kicked out before we even achieved anything, and now the power of the Ming Dynasty has already pushed us close. We must find a solution to this!"

Time prompted a military general to step forward and speak.

"Your Majesty, although the Ming army is powerful, their numbers are too small to be of much use. Our Khmer Empire has a large army. Otherwise, if we attacked now, we could have caught them off guard. As long as we can recover Dai Viet and Nam Xang, we will have the right to continue negotiating with the Ming!"

"Moreover, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is very large. Although there are many troops, it is necessary to defend various places, and it is impossible to send all the troops to one place."

So I suspect they definitely wouldn't dare send many troops!

Upon hearing this, the Khmer emperor nodded.

"What you say makes some sense, but this matter is probably not as simple as you think!"

"No matter what, the Ming Dynasty's strength is still very formidable!"

"What if the Ming Dynasty is determined to fight us?"

At this moment, the general snorted coldly.

"Our Khmer Empire is the most powerful country in this region. Even if the Ming Dynasty's army comes to this place, we have no need to be afraid."

I refuse to believe that these people from the Ming Dynasty are so strong that we can't defeat them!

"Moreover, as long as we can defend the north, those people will definitely not be able to invade!"

At this moment, a civil official stepped forward and spoke.

"General, don't forget that the Ming Dynasty's navy is also very powerful. We've even wiped out Japan and Korea to the north!"

"If the Ming navy suddenly attacks from the sea, how long can we defend against them? Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has many talented people, especially in their Yingtian Prefecture, where there are many veteran generals. These people are all skilled warriors. The once invincible Mongol cavalry were defeated by them. Do you think they would care about us?"

"Putting aside everything else, Mu Ying and Wang Bi alone are difficult for us to deal with, let alone the others if they are really as Zhu Xiong Ying said!"

"If we send some even more powerful generals to this place, how much of a chance do you think we'll have left?"

Upon hearing this, the general frowned.
