The second plan was to join forces with the Chen Dynasty to attack the Liang Kingdom.
Although this plan ultimately failed militarily, he personally went to Jiankang to persuade the regent prince of the Chen Dynasty to form an alliance between the two countries, successfully freeing Cambodia from the military threat of the Chen Dynasty. For this reason, no one could shake his position as the right prime minister.
The third option is to take advantage of Liang State's weak control over the southwest and plot to take over the southwest again by supporting bandits, placing people there, and slowly infiltrating.
It was going pretty smoothly originally.
Unexpectedly, Qinghe County suddenly appeared, and the Qitian Village that he had tried his best to support was defeated so quickly. It can only be said that it was fate.
If I had succeeded at the beginning, I would have definitely wiped out the entire system and would not have left behind something like a "weak Qinghe".
"It is said that Lord Xinyuetu helped Linhai when his power was still weak, so Linhai agreed to give Lord Xinyuetu a place to settle down and call himself the Khmer Kingdom."
Yang Yizhen couldn't help but shake his head and said, "In our line of work, can we really keep our word? Not to mention helping him back then, there are even people who would kill their own fathers for power and position these days. Look at the Xia Kingdom, didn't they use all their relatives to fill mass graves?"
"That's what I said." Wei Shuma was a little disdainful of Yang Yizhen's statement. You civil officials are cruel-hearted, and we are military generals. At most, our hands are cruel, but our hearts are still good.
"After all, it's been so long, and the people of Qinghe haven't touched Lord Xin Yuetu's territory. That Lu You brought his men there just to keep watch, and there hasn't been a conflict between the two sides. It seems Lin Hai is still keeping his word."
"Could it be that Lin Hai doesn't want to or doesn't dare to fight on two fronts?"
"If our two fronts could coordinate with each other, Lin Hai might still be a little concerned about a two-front war, but we are so far apart. You know Lord Xin Yuetu's army. He has carried out several rounds of purges to control the army, and its combat effectiveness is very low now. Once a fight breaks out, let alone breaking through Lu You's blockade to help us, he will be lucky to be able to hold on on his own."
Wei Shuma's expression was quite emotional. After all, apart from the garrison corps, the Khmer army that had faced the Chen Dynasty head-on was considered the most powerful field force of the Khmer.
As a result, this army, which was raised with the sole efforts of the people, was defeated by its own people after fighting only a few tough battles.
"However, on the bright side, it's probably because Lord Xinyuetu's army wasn't strong enough that they've survived until now. Otherwise, facing a pincer attack from both the Chen Dynasty and the Khmer, even if he were a superman, he wouldn't be able to hold out."
For a moment, the study fell into silence again.
After a long while, Yang Yizhen finally spoke: "No matter what, being weak is risky. We still need to increase Master Xinyuetu's strength as much as possible."
"Don't worry, all the surviving members of the garrison will join Lord Xinyuetu's army."
"The covenant royal family must continue."
"We can't protect the king and the prince."
"The new king's last name can be Xinyue."
"That's no problem. Lord Xinyuetu has already cleaned up the mess, and those who go over here will be very honest."
"The country's name remains unchanged."
"Don't worry, the Khmer are still here."
"Let's do it this way. There is really no other way." Yang Yizhen closed his eyes and seemed to see the scene of the burning Khmer flag.
"One last question."
"explain."
"Right Prime Minister, why don't you come with us?"
"Me? The people of Qinghe are determined to kill me. Wherever I go, they will chase me. Don't cause trouble for Lord Xinyuetu."
Yang Yizhen smiled and said, "I have never won against the Qinghe people. Now that it has come to the end, I can't give them an excuse to attack Lord Xin Yuetu.
Besides, the four-hundred-year-old Khmer Empire is about to fall, and there must be someone to accompany it. Otherwise, when people talk about the Khmer Empire in the future, they will think that this country died too poorly, without even a prime minister who died for his country.
"You said that Cambodia would not perish."
“The name of Cambodia may survive, but the Cambodia in my heart, the Cambodia that dominated the south, is dead.”
"Well, since the Right Prime Minister has such awareness, I admire him. What about the Right Prime Minister's family?"
"They're just a few kids. They were taken away last time when the organization pretended to be cowards and followed Ruan Shihao out of the city. You just need to know about this. Let them live a peaceful life and be ordinary people. Otherwise, they will cause trouble to everyone. As for the rest of the people, especially the students who haven't finished their studies at the National Academy, they have all been organized and are now in your hands."
"Many ministers did not leave, nor did they come to me."
"Oh, they're not leaving either. Like me, they're planning to see Cambodia off. But don't worry, we're not fools. The younger generations in our families have either already left or are in the garrison."
After all, the future still depends on the young people. Each generation has its own responsibilities. Their job is to revitalize the future of Cambodia, while we, the old folks, are here to ensure that the present Cambodia will have a glorious future.
"I'm an old man too."
"In troubled times, we need a military commander. Newly-risen generals also need an experienced senior. You are the best one. We will only teach them how to be an official, and you will teach them how to fight. Lord Wei, surviving requires even more courage."
