So you came out with more than a thousand guards and servants, more than five hundred maids, and more than three hundred cooks?
If you don’t know, you might think you are here with a suicide squad to fight me to the death.
However, Ruan Shihao's departure from the city did not cause much trouble.
After all, strictly speaking, Ruan Shihao is a staff member of the Intelligence Department.
Lin Hai just asked him to pack up the large group of people he brought with him and send them to the rear to find Wang Zuo. The follow-up arrangements had already been prepared. It just so happened that this group of people could still be used.
As for the negotiations, Nguyen Thi Hao brought a handwritten letter from the Khmer King.
After reading the letter, Lin Hai laughed. Well, this is what a king should write.
The content of the letter is very simple.
"Let him come back. Young people are a bit idealistic, but it's good to suffer a little.
There's nothing to discuss. If the Qinghe army can break through, I'll wait for you in the palace."
There are only two sentences in total.
The sentence "I'll wait for you in the palace" was said for the second time.

The fact that Qinghe did not sacrifice the flag when the war officially started this time has made many soldiers dissatisfied. It seems that it would be a good idea to make up for this ceremony before the decisive battle.
However, Qinghe's ruling bodies are all made-up teams, and many things are only known in name but not in reality.
But this is not important. Don’t we have a real Minister of Rites on our hands?
He should know how to perform the flag-worshiping ceremony.
Just ask him when the time comes.
In this way, after the two sides had no nutrition and the negotiations were just to delay time, the Qinghe side completely cut off Taijing's roads to other cities, cutting off any possibility of reinforcements.
The Cambodians also completely unified their thoughts. Those who were not firm either sneaked away with Nguyen Thi Hao or were sent to repair the city walls under the wrath of the Khmer king.
The Thai King Garrison Corps, the last hope of Cambodia, is also ready for the final battle.
Four hundred years after the founding of the Khmer Empire, the shadow of war enveloped the entire Bangkok for the first time.
