The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

After that, he led his army to Huashi City, the capital of the Magadha Kingdom, overthrew the rule of the Nanda Dynasty, took power, and established the Mauryan Dynasty.

In the 3rd century BC, the Mauryan Dynasty came to the reign of King Ashoka. At this time, the territory was vast, the regime was powerful, and Buddhism flourished and began to spread outward.After the death of King Ashoka, his son became independent, and Andura, who was in a semi-independent state in the empire, also declared independence in the south.The Mauryan Dynasty continued to rule in the Ganges Valley for about 50 years.

Around 187 BC, the last king of the Maurya Dynasty was killed by a minister, and the Maurya Empire officially ended. This dynasty was the first regime to basically unify ancient India.

Later, the Maurya Dynasty split and became many small dynasties, among which were the Baicheng Dynasty and Zhiduo Dynasty that Cao Cao was now facing.

These two dynasties now occupy the subcontinent of ancient India, and they are obstacles in the way for Cao Cao to attack the Guishuang Empire.

Chapter 340 Zhiduo Dynasty

The territories occupied by these two dynasties are not considered large.

But in fact, the territory is not too small.

It is not much different from Funan Kingdom managed by Cao Cao.

And because the civilization of ancient India has developed for a long time and has a long history, it can even be compared with the Chinese civilization.

The Ganges River Basin has nourished many people, resulting in a large number of people in these two dynasties.

If Cao Cao wanted to attack the two dynasties in front of him in the Guishuang Empire, it would be a hurdle.

In fact, it's not impossible to go by water, but Cao Cao doesn't have that many navy troops for the time being, and if he goes by water, he needs to make a detour, which takes a lot of time.

Moreover, it is more troublesome to transport grain and grass by water. Once something goes wrong in the middle, those expeditionary forces are likely to fall into a situation of eternal doom.

It's better to take the big road, march on land, if you encounter any obstacles, just push them over, and include all the places you pass in your own territory.

This is also the best way Cao Cao can think of.

Although the two countries of Baicheng Dynasty and Zhiduo Dynasty also have a lot of soldiers and horses.

But these soldiers and horses are nothing to Cao Cao.

It took his army a month to march from Funan country all the way to the northwest when it encountered the first wave of obstacles.

This is a city of the Zhiduo Dynasty. It is somewhat reluctant to say that it is a city.

Because the outside of him is just piled up with some earthen walls, the defense ability is extremely low.

There is not even a tower, it is just surrounded by some walls.

Such a city can be easily broken through with a few war elephants, and they can directly enter the city without the need for siege equipment.

Moreover, there was no army of the Zhiduo dynasty stationed in this city, but some people gathered here spontaneously, and there were not even some guards. Cao Cao's troops immediately occupied the city as soon as they arrived.

Cao Cao has encountered many cities like this along the way.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't think about occupying them at the beginning, but just went to the Guishuang Empire with them, but they couldn't understand the language. After Cao Cao's army arrived, these local natives immediately spoke incomprehensible words Words, chattering something.

Without waiting for Cao Cao and others to express their intentions, they immediately organized some local people, copied some weapons with little technical content, and launched an attack on Cao Cao's army.

Cao Cao already looked down on these natives a bit, but he didn't expect that these natives would take the lead in attacking him.

In this case, Cao Cao naturally didn't have anything to be polite, and even led the army to fight back.

It also easily occupied several such cities and enslaved them all.

The reason for doing this is firstly that he needs to open up the road to Funan Kingdom and the Guishuang Empire, and secondly, he also needs to rely on war to supplement his own troops, horses, food and grass.

After all, tens of thousands of troops traveled northward from Funan Kingdom for a full month, and the food and grass they needed to consume and the manpower they used were not a small amount. If the weather was bad and the food and grass couldn't be transported quickly, they had to First find some food and grass supplements locally.

And in these cities with many empires, although there are not many people gathered in one city, each of these people has grain reserves. After occupying these cities, Cao Cao can expropriate grain and grass on the spot.

In a short period of time, there was no shortage of military rations, which also allowed Cao Cao to occupy most of the huge Zhiduo Empire in just over a month.

The Zhiduo Dynasty reacted very slowly. After Cao Cao's army entered the hinterland, they slowly reacted and organized the dynasty's few tens of thousands of troops to confront Cao Cao's troops head-on.

These soldiers and horses lack training on weekdays, so it is not surprising that they are just ordinary people.The fighting power pulled out is not even comparable to that of the Yellow Turban Army ten years ago.

At least when the Yellow Turban Army first started the uprising, as long as there were enough powerful generals to lead the Han officials and troops who really fought, they would be caught off guard.

Moreover, many generals in the Yellow Turban Army are quite powerful, and the elite troops are also good players.

And the soldiers of these Zhiduo dynasties were listless and disorganized. Once they were defeated during the march, they would immediately scatter.

Such a team, in the first wave of confrontation with Cao Cao, was immediately looked down upon by Cao Cao.

Tens of thousands of troops were defeated by Cao Cao in the first battle.

With only 6 troops, Cao Cao defeated [-] people in the empire, and the whole dynasty collapsed in one stop.

Even the king of this Zhiduo dynasty was frightened and fled to neighboring countries immediately.

Cao Cao took advantage of the trend and took most of the territory of the entire Zhiduo Dynasty under his command!

In one fell swoop, the territory of Funan County was expanded to here.

And soon afterward, some Han people brought from the Central Plains were arranged to enter the towns of many dynasties in batches, divide the counties and counties, strengthen management and control, and implement colonial policies.

Just teach them the language to learn Chinese, and implement Chinese law.

It will take a few years to start from a baby, and this place will evolve into a big Han country.

These people will gradually become big men.

This can be seen from the changes in Funan Kingdom in recent years.

When Funan Kingdom was first occupied, those remnants of Funan Kingdom would jump out to make trouble from time to time.

Even in many towns in Funan, there will be some rebellious behaviors occasionally.

But later under Cao Cao's management, the people's life did get better day by day.

In addition, after learning the culture of the big Han, they also began to recognize themselves as a Han in their hearts.

Today's Funan has also evolved into a part of Dahan.

Cao Cao believes that within a few years, this land with many dynasties will gradually integrate into the Han Dynasty and become a part of the territory of the Han Dynasty, just like Funan and other subordinate places.

The army of Cao Cao of many dynasties has been settled, and the Guishuang Empire is not far away.

Just when Cao Cao thought that he could lead his soldiers and horses to attack the Guishuang Empire and defeat this once tyrannical empire in one fell swoop.

The king of the Zhiduo Dynasty who escaped before came to the Baicheng Dynasty, and borrowed troops from the king of the Baicheng Dynasty, and fought back again, wanting to regain the lost land.

When the Zhiduo Dynasty led an army of tens of thousands and returned, Cao Cao realized how stupid this country was.

The king is nothing in this country. Above this country, the religion is stronger, and the people believe in the so-called gods.

The people in this Zhiduo dynasty did not listen to the king at all, but listened to a religion called Brahman.

Brahman is one of the many evolutions of Buddhism.

An existence higher than royal power has been formed locally.

This point surprised Cao Cao, and even reminded him of the Yellow Turban Sect back then.

The first thousand and 340 chapters goodbye in ten years

The Yellow Turban Army many years ago had religion over kingship.

It belongs to the unity of politics and religion.

If the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army had been successful, then the Han Empire would most likely have evolved into a system of theology and religion.

The combination of imperial power and religion, and even religion overrides imperial power.

Now that there are so many dynasties, this is the case with the people Cao Cao is facing.

Of course, these aborigines, who were many years behind the Han Dynasty, were still doing useless work no matter how many soldiers and horses they gathered to avenge Cao Cao.

No matter how many sheep there are, they cannot beat wolves.

After the defeat they encountered, they would disperse and their morale would plummet. There was no need for Cao Cao to appear in person.

There was even no need to lead troops to pursue them, these troops broke up by themselves.

When Cao Cao ordered the pursuit, the natives surrendered one by one, and they didn't even have many chances to fight.

Cao Cao originally thought that these people would be a tough battle. After all, there are many soldiers and horses, and his strength is actually almost the same as that of the opponent. It can be regarded as an evenly matched battle.

Who knew that the one-sided situation would appear again as soon as the battle was fought, which Cao Cao himself did not expect.

Now that there was a battle with these people, and knowing that the royal family of this multi-dynasty still has a lot of ability to gather troops, Cao Cao originally wanted to ignore them and go directly to surprise the Guishuang Empire.

But after knowing that they have this ability, they temporarily gave up on this plan.

Because Cao Cao is also worried that once he leads the army to leave here, the people of these dynasties will make a comeback. When the army leaves, it will be easier for them to regain the lost ground. In case they come back and kill Cao Cao, etc. People's retreat can be bad.

It's okay to cut off the retreat, as long as Cao Cao's army is still there.There is no problem, but after the retreat is cut off, the food road is blocked, and the food and grass cannot be transported. One month is enough to scatter Cao Cao's army and defeat him in one fell swoop.

It is very likely that the result of Cao Cao's westward expedition will end early.

Because of this, Cao Cao did not intend to let go of the royal family of this multi-dynasty.

After realizing that they had colluded with the troops of the Baicheng Dynasty, Cao Cao quickly took over the remaining territories of the Zhiduo Dynasty.

The other side led troops and horses to attack the Baicheng Dynasty, trying to occupy all the territory of the remaining dynasty in a short time.

As long as these territories are captured at the same time, Cao Cao will be able to attack the Guishuang Empire with confidence.

Although it is very simple to attack the Baicheng Dynasty, it will take a certain amount of time for Cao Cao to completely conquer this huge territory.

It will take at least a month or two for sure.

However, in order to be more confident in dealing with the Guishuang Empire in the future, Cao Cao felt that this time was still necessary.

When Cao Cao attacked these ancient Indian countries, Liu Zheng in Luoyang had already met the little emperor Liu Bian.

Liu Bian sat on the dragon chair in the palace, waiting for the arrival of Liu Zheng's army.

He knew that Liu Zheng's men had entered Luoyang!

But he didn't show any look of fear. On the contrary, he was very calm, just sitting in a chair and waiting for the arrival of Liu Zheng's army.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Liu Zheng himself would appear here.

Liu Bian met Liu Zheng when he was a child, although 10 years have passed now.

But Liu Zheng's appearance has not changed much in the past 10 years.

In addition, Liu Bian had already firmly remembered this person's appearance in his heart, so when he saw Liu Zheng for the first time, he recognized this person.

"Liu Zheng, I didn't expect you to call Luoyang in person!"

"It kind of surprised me."

Liu Bian glanced at Liu Zheng, his eyes were quite shocked, and then he quickly returned to normal.

Like an old friend, he usually started talking with Liu Zheng in a casual tone.

When Liu Zheng entered the hall, he didn't bring anyone else with him.

He only brought two bodyguards with him, Chen Dao and Dian Wei, who stood by his side.

But at this time, seeing that there seemed to be no one else in the hall, Liu Zheng waved his hand to signal the two of them to stand at the door and wait.

Only then did it start slowly, walking like Liu Bian.

Answer Liu Bian's words while walking.

"After all, this is the capital of the entire Han Dynasty. If you conquer here, you can occupy the entire Han Dynasty."

"Little Liu Bian, you have been the emperor here for ten years since we left that year, time really flies by."

"Ten years, these years, how are you doing?"

Liu Zheng met Liu Bian. In fact, he and Liu Bian didn't have much enmity. Become a wise king.

It's a pity that he was born in the wrong age, in the torrent of the era like the end of Han Dynasty, and became a subjugated king who did nothing.

If he had a choice, Liu Bian would not even want to bear such an identity. In that case, he might be happier.

It is precisely because of these years of puppet life that Liu Bian has little feeling for Liu Zheng's arrival, and even feels that Liu Zheng's arrival is a good thing for him.

In this way, he no longer has to worry that his country will perish.

"My life can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad."

"However, I won't be able to sit on this throne for a day. It's good that you come, and I can feel at ease when the Han Dynasty is in your hands. You are more suitable to be the emperor than me. This point, I have ten years I felt it before."

The expression on Liu Bian's face was not touched much, as if the throne, for him, was not much worth nostalgic for.
