Han counter current

That's why Chen Feng didn't let him come out to rob alone in the first two years. It wasn't until Zhang He changed his mind that he got such an opportunity.

In fact, the soldiers of the Han army who fought this time knew in their hearts that if these Hu people went south, their wives and daughters would be the ones who would be humiliated, and their families would be the ones who would be robbed.

Isn't the humiliation suffered by the Han people in the north not enough for so many years?Haven't the northern Han people shed too much blood and tears?

They are all Han people from the north, and they are well aware of the dangers of the barbarians in the grassland. Therefore, they all agree with this way of handling the captives.

The Han people in the south don't know the pain of the Han people in the frontier, so there are still many literati in the south who accuse the brutality of the northern frontier army.

Sometimes, this is really a great irony. I have not experienced such pain, but I can stand on the commanding heights of morality and say that others are wrong.

To be honest, not only Chen Feng, but even some of the century-old families in the north hate this kind of hypocrites in the south, let alone these big soldiers from the bottom.

"Using war to support war, while attacking the enemy, it can also enhance our army's prestige. Most importantly, use this kind of warfare to train elite cavalry for our army. This strategy of the lord is not unreasonable.

Except for food, ordnance, and the initial war horses and other supplies, all other things have to be obtained through war. Hey, small investment is exchanged for big return. No wonder the lord loves to go north to plunder. "

Zhang He's ability and potential are not bad, and he has never encountered such an opportunity to fight on the grassland in the past, so it is normal for him not to understand going north to plunder at first.

Now, after he realized the benefits of going north to plunder, this guy also became addicted. To be precise, all the soldiers under his command were addicted.

"Before the heavy snow covers the road, I have to find a way to send more spoils back. I can't lose to Ziyong this time, or I might not be able to get a chance next year..."

The camp of the barbarians is now full of laughter and crying. The rule on the grassland is that the strong are respected.

Those Hu people who were defeated couldn't find any other way to express their emotions except crying. This is the way of the world and they can't blame anyone.

The temperature is dropping further, and the barbarians in the grassland want to get through this cold winter as soon as possible, and hope that their longevity will protect them through this cold winter.

It's just that the Han cavalry from the south of the Great Wall didn't give them this chance. Even if their immortality came, these Han cavalry had to teach them a lesson with their strength.

Chapter 339: Funan War 1

There are a lot of seagoing ships traveling between Youzhou and Jiaozhou. It seems that these two places have endless business and goods.

Salt, cloth, ironware, ice cubes and other materials from the north were transported to Jiaozhou and Nichinan, and then exchanged for local sugar, rice, jewelry and other materials to go north.

At the beginning, the aborigines and nobles in Funan didn't know where these caravans came from. After some inquiries, they only learned that they came from the legendary Han Dynasty.

Because their concept of the Han Dynasty is very vague, many Funan people think that these merchant ships came from Jiangdong.

However, it doesn't matter, anyway, these merchant ships can bring novelty goods, items they need, and they can make a fortune.

This kind of coming and going has promoted the economic development of the two places, and at the same time strengthened the connection between the two places. With the big base in the south, Chen Feng's life in the north will be better.

Of course, the premise is that the base in the south will not be in trouble, nor will it be harassed or looted by the enemy. Otherwise, Chen Feng will have to send supplies from the north to support the development of the south.

Once something happened in the south, not to mention that Chen Feng's side would not be worth the loss, if the incident became serious, Chen Feng might fall into the desperate situation of fighting on two fronts.

In order to deal with the threat from Funan, Gao Zhong discussed with Yan Cheng and Lu Xun for more than half a month, from annihilating the enemy's navy, to encircling the enemy's mountain troops, to besieging the enemy's elephant soldiers, and so on. are all finalized.

Now, the plan to wipe out the enemy's navy is about to reach its climax. Under the successive attacks of pirates, Funan's ships cannot sail normally at sea.

In order to maintain normal trade and ease the pressure from the people, the Funan navy has assembled and is now heading towards the pirate stronghold.

"Frontline intelligence, all the enemy troops are dispatched, the time has come."

General Gao Zhong pointed to the nautical chart and analyzed: "Starting from the port of the Funan Navy, the fleet sailed for four days to reach the pirates' stronghold.

If you count the harassment and obstruction of the pirates along the way, the Funan navy will take six or seven days at the fastest to reach the predetermined location.

I have already set up the pirate stronghold. I believe that they can at least deal with the Funan navy's attack for more than three days. That is to say, we have at least ten days. This battle cannot be ignored. "

"What does the third brother mean, let this be the end point of the Funan Navy? This is much more fun."

Yan Cheng looked at the map with interest, as if he was thinking about something.

"Basically, it's like this. We wiped out the enemy's navy here, and at the same time captured the enemy's naval bases, such as Jin Mau Island. These places have stockpiled a lot of supplies, and many Funan caravans are resting here.

If our army completes the two-step plan one after another, Fan Jian will definitely go crazy. At that time, he will either try his best to regain the port strongholds of Jin'ou Island, or hide in the special pasture city and pretend to be a dead dog. No matter what he chooses, we will have the advantage . "

Although he is still so young, Gao Zhong, who has been through battles for a long time, is showing a kind of calmness at this moment, and everyone can see the shadow of a commander in him.

Unknowingly, Gao Zhong has grown a lot. In some areas, Yan Cheng cannot compare. Compared with his peers, he is now too outstanding.

"Hehe, he will definitely find a way to take back Jin'ou Island, which is his lifeblood. Without Jin'ou Island, what will he use to fight us? Hmph, there are so many caravans there, they are very rich."

Yan Cheng said with a smile: "According to your previous information, Fan Jian developed his power by relying on this Wanshui master, this is his foundation.

The merchant ships of all kingdoms in Funan depended on his face, otherwise those merchant ships would not be able to guarantee safety at sea.

Therefore, if there is no navy and these port strongholds, Fan Jian will lose most of Funan. In this way, not to mention whether we will attack or not, even the other kingdoms in Funan will not look at him anymore. "

"That's right. So, after capturing these port strongholds, our army will face a frenzied attack from the enemy. I guess this battle is not easy to fight, but as long as our army can withstand the attack of the Funan army, hmph, then Fan Jian will be powerless to fight back." sky."

Gao Zhong nodded, the plan has been formulated very well, the next thing they have to do is how to implement it step by step.

"Surprise, attack unprepared, this is the principle of our army's dispatch."

Lu Xun, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "Avoid the enemy's main force, consume the enemy's vital strength on the march, and at the same time have to wear down the morale of the enemy through defensive warfare.

In this battle, at most half a year, our army will be able to win the final victory. Let's follow the plan and we will consume this Fan Jian step by step.

The first step is to wipe out the enemy's navy, the second step is to seize the port stronghold and mobilize the enemy's main force, and the third step is to send surprise troops to attack the special pasture city, exhausting Fan Jian. "

"Forget it, as long as we can complete these three steps, our military's strategic goal will be basically accomplished. By then, Funan will be settled, and we will be able to complete the tasks entrusted by our adoptive father faster."

A trace of fighting spirit flashed in Gao Zhong's eyes: "How about it? Let's divide the work in detail now, so that you don't know what you want to do when the time comes."

"I won't participate in the total wipeout of the enemy's navy. With the two of you here, it will be fine."

Yan Cheng smiled and pointed to some islands on the map: "I will seize the important ports of the enemy navy and these islands to prepare for the mobilization of Fan Jian's main force."

"Okay, but I can only give you 6000 infantry, plus your navy officers and soldiers, you can mobilize no more than [-] men. At that time, if Fan Jian attacks with all his strength, you may have to face [-] enemies." military.

As long as you can take Jin'ou Island, then I guess, your decisive battle will be here. Brother, as long as your back is against the sea, Fan Jian can't do anything to you, and you must not underestimate the enemy and rush forward. "

"Hahaha, don't worry, I promise you will meet Fan Jian on Jin'ou Island, [-] infantry should be enough, if that's the case, then I'll go first, after all time is urgent, I have to make a detour, and I can't let the enemy's troops take a detour The teacher noticed."

"Then I wish General Yan the best of luck."

Lu Xun cupped his hands, although he didn't understand why Yan Cheng wanted to go to Jin'ou Island alone, but he believed that there was no fool here, and he must have a reason for doing so.

"I also wish General Lu more military exploits."

Yan Cheng looked at Lu Xun with pity in his eyes, he had fought side by side with Gao Zhong.In his opinion, [-] Funan sailors are not enough to eat at all.

Counting those pirates and other naval officers who could be deployed on his side, Yan Cheng estimated that his third younger brother could command two or three times as many subordinates as the Funan Navy.
