Three Kingdoms Eschatology

But his worry was instantly wiped away, because he saw a large group of soldiers and horses with luggage, and the general at the head was Fan Tuo.Mo Hun sighed in his heart, thank God, there was no accident after all.

Those Funan soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse saw the food and grass coming, and rushed to meet them.Fan Tuo not only brought back food, but also several carts of wine and meat.Seeing this, the Funan soldiers cheered happily and saluted Fan Tuo with military salutes.Mo Hun was very happy at first, but seeing the soldiers respecting Fan Tuo so much, his face turned ugly.

He came to Fan Tuo's side and said to Fan Tuo: "Fan Tuo, you are finally back. This king has always been worried, for fear that you will be attacked and killed by Liang Jun."

But Fan Tuo ignored him, and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Boys, do you still want to suffer from starvation again?"

Everyone didn't know what he meant, so they replied in unison: "I don't want to!"

"Then do you want to die on a foreign battlefield for no apparent reason?"

"In no mood!"

"Then do you still want to follow me?"

"I am willing to follow the general"

"Then we have to get rid of this ignorant and foolish king." It's too late to say, then soon.Before Mo Hun could react, Fan Tuo drew out his dagger and stabbed it into Mo Hun's abdomen.

The sudden change stunned everyone.Including Fan Man and Mo Hun himself.

Mo Hun grabbed Fan Tuo's hand holding the dagger, and said intermittently, "Fan...Fan Tuo, you...you...you dare to kill the king."

Fan Tuo showed a cold expression and said: "For our Funan country, I can only do this. Only when you die can Funan country be saved, and my sister cannot be destroyed. Only if you die, the people of Funan will be saved. My son will not die in a foreign country for no reason." Fan Tuo pulled out his sharp knife, blood spurted from Mo Hun's stomach, and he fell to the ground weakly clutching his wound.

Fan Man, who was in shock, came to his senses and shouted, "Fan Tuo, what are you doing?"

"Father, when Funan is in danger, you should stand up and take on the role of the country's leader. As long as you replace Mo Hun's family, you can make peace with Liang Jun. Then Liang Jun will naturally retreat."

Fan Tuo turned to the soldiers again and said: "From today onwards, the king of our Funan Kingdom is my father, Mr. Fan Man. Our family is connected with the paternal line of the former Queen Liu Ye. The Mo family who came here with poison, I was lucky enough to capture Her Majesty the Queen and forcefully marry the Queen by means of despicable means, so that I could steal Funan Kingdom. Today I am just taking back our country for our ancestors."

Most of these soldiers were Fan Tuo's personal soldiers, and the rest were also subdued by Fan Tuo, and they were disgusted with Mo Hun because Mo Hun insisted on sending troops to Sawady.So none of them had any intention of disobeying Fan Tuo's proposition, but they all cheered instead.I don't know who led the vote, Qi Qi knelt down in front of Fan Man, bowed his body and covered his chest with one hand and shouted the slogan: "We all respect Master Fan Man as the Lord of our country, and wish to be loyal to our king for life! My king will last forever!"

Fan Man sighed and said: "That's the only way." Thus, Fan Man hastily completed the ceremony of ascension to the throne in the wilderness, and then feasted the soldiers with the wine, meat and food brought by Bo Mai City.On the second day, proceed to Angkor Thom.Along the way, special envoys were continuously sent to inform the city guards along the way that the royal family of Funan Kingdom had changed, and ordered the guards to fulfill their duties and stick to their respective cities, and not to listen to others' slander and act rashly.

When the vast majority of guards heard the news, not only did they not launch an army to fight against the rebels, but instead went to Fan Man Fan Tuo's army to celebrate the new king's enthronement.Even if there are a few people who are ready to make a move, they dare not act rashly due to the military might of the Fan family and Liang Jun.

It didn't take long for Fan Man Fan Tuo's team to arrive at Angkor Thom.Fan Tuo saw a trace of sadness on Fan Man's face, and asked, "What is the father worried about?" Fan Man sighed, "It's easy to talk about everything else, how should you and I explain to your sister?"

Fan Tuo said with a smile: "Father, you don't have to worry about this matter. At the beginning, my younger sister was unwilling to marry into the palace. Now maybe her daughter has found a more suitable husband."

……

Lying on the couch in the royal palace of Angkor Thom, Lin Tao opened his eyes and saw that the sky was already bright.He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I almost missed something!"

While talking, he rolled down from the bed, but his arm was held by a white jade hand, and a delicate voice came: "Mr. Lang, when will you come to the palace again." It was Queen Fan who spoke.

Lin Tao shook his head and said, "This may be the last time to come to the palace and harem." Looking at the leisurely and weeping Queen Fan, he knew that the other party had misunderstood, and immediately explained: "Today your father and brother are going back to Angkor Thom, and this palace and harem is the new one. King Funan, your father's bedroom is now, so I can't come in casually. But I will propose marriage to your father, the new king of Funan Kingdom, and marry you. We will be able to stay together forever. It's just that you may have to stay away from Angkor City in the future. "

Only then did Queen Fan smile through tears.It was only then that Lin Tao, who walked out of the palace, realized that she hadn't asked how Mo Hun was doing from the beginning to the end.

Lin Tao greeted Fan Man Fan Tuo five miles outside the west gate of Angkor Thom, and the two sides entered Angkor Thom after talking happily.On the same day, Fan Man held the first court meeting of the new dynasty in the palace hall.Except for a very small number of people who did not come, most of the officials from the former Funan capital were present, first of all to celebrate Fan Man's ascension to the throne.

Those very few people who did not come were basically descendants of Shendu people brought by Mohun's ancestors, and they all claimed to be Brahmin Kshatriya.He held an important position in the Funan Army.At the moment, it's not that they don't want to come, but that they have all been arrested by Liang Jun.

After all, Fan Man has deep roots in Funan Kingdom, and within ten days and a half months, the situation in the entire Funan Kingdom was stabilized.The new king's edict has been able to flow unimpeded in Funan Kingdom.Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Tao bid farewell to Fan Man and returned to Maine with Fan Man's daughter.Of course, the two prisoners, Wei Envoy and Wu Envoy, were also brought along.Feinman held a grand send-off ceremony for them.

When the shadow of the sails of Lin Tao's fleet disappeared below the southern sea level, a Buddhist monk in Funan City knocked on a wooden fish, walked through the streets and alleys, and muttered in his mouth: "Back then, Mo Kun raped the queen Liu Ye to get her." country, but today the children and grandchildren are occupied by others and their wives are taken away, this is a cycle of cause and effect, and good and evil will be rewarded."

Chapter 432

By the spring of the 14th year of Jian'an, Liang Guo had captured Ceylon Island and the Liuyan Kingdom (Maldives) further west, and even the sails of Liang Jun's ocean-going warships appeared at the entrance of the Red Sea.

So far, Liang State has controlled one-third of the maritime trade routes with the port of Suez, Egypt, Great Qin State, and Wujun, Yangzhou, State of Wu as the terminal point.If you count Langyaxiu, Gandali, and Funan Kingdom, these small countries attached to Liang Kingdom.It controls nearly half the mileage of the entire route.It means that in this era, nearly half of the world's maritime trade income will flow into Liang's treasury.

Karikala, the hero of the Zhuluo Kingdom, finally died of illness in Thanjavur. When he died, the First Fleet had not yet returned to the mouth of the Cauvery River, and the country was already full of wars.In addition to Magadha taking the lead in raising troops to rebel, the Brahmin countries that had been conquered by him also joined in one after another.The Caraborans of the jungle south of the Cauvery Valley also rose again.

The kings of the Chula Empire, the current new king, the third son of Karikala, is a foolish king who was not as good as Karikala.In the current situation, it is difficult for even Karikala to turn things around, let alone his son.The entire Chola Empire began to collapse.It will be a matter of time before it disintegrates into several or even a dozen small countries.The Zhu Luo Empire could no longer become Liang Guo's henchman.

The envoys of Wu State and Wei State, Lin Tao escorted them out of the territory of Funan and released them.The former was sent back to the country of Wu by a sea boat entrusted by Lin Tao.But for the envoy of Wei State, Lin Tao kept bringing him back to Sawady.

Then Zhuge Jin personally followed the inland waterway of the Inovaddy River and sent Wei envoys to Yibin, the capital of Liang State.Zhugejin's trip was not specifically to escort Wei envoy, but he was going back to Yibin to report his duties.

The envoy Wei was detained by Liang Guo for a long time, not because Liang Guo deliberately made things difficult for him.It was for his safety. If the envoy of Wei encountered any accidents on the way back to the country, such as being quietly beheaded by Sun Wu's people, even if Cao Cao knew what was going on, he might deliberately want Liang Guo to take the blame , An excuse to attack Liang Guo.

Of course, Zhuge Jin was very clear about this.Because Liang Wang Fengyu disobeyed the emperor Liu Xie's edict more than a year ago, whether it is the Han court, Cao Wei, or someone else, they are all waiting to find a reasonable excuse and an appropriate opportunity to attack Liang Guo.

When Wei envoy was brought back to Yibin, the Spring Festival was approaching.He was arranged in a posthouse by Liang Guoguan, and he was kind to entertain him.As soon as the spring began, he was sent to Zhuyang, and then returned to Runan controlled by the Wei army via Nanyang.

After Zhuge Jin finished reporting to Feng Yu in the study of the Liang Palace and explained why he brought Wei envoy to Yibin.Feng Yu smiled and said, "Ziyu is thoughtful. It just so happens that Cao Cao used this reason to start war against Beiyan of Gongsun's family not long ago. But because of this, we don't have to worry too much about Cao Cao right now. He will make trouble for us. It’s true, but it’s unlikely to be possible in the past two years. Because now he needs to concentrate on annexing Beiyan.”

Zhuge Jin also just returned to Yibin, so he came to report to Feng Yu. He was not well informed about the news from the Central Plains countries, so he was very surprised when he heard this, and exclaimed: "What? Cao Cao is going to annex Beiyan."

Feng Yu replied slowly: "That's right, at this time Cao Wei and Beiyan Gongsun's family had already fought, and Cao Cao used the killing of the envoy of Wei who went to Yamatai Kingdom as an excuse to start the war.

Cao Wei wanted to go to Yamatai as an envoy, and he took a boat directly from Qingzhou to the sea, and traveled two thousand miles eastward to reach the coast of Yamatai.Moreover, Cao Wei and Yamatai have been in contact for so long, the channel should be clear.But the envoy Wei had to make a big detour, from the territory of Beiyan to Sanhan, then cross the Tsushima Strait to enter Yingzhou, and then travel nearly a thousand miles on Yingzhou to reach Yamatai Kingdom.In the end, the Wei envoy died on the territory of the Gongsun family of Beiyan for no apparent reason, and Cao Cao immediately declared war on the Gongsun family.In this regard, people with discerning eyes naturally know what is going on. "

Zhuge Jin continued to ask in surprise: "What is the attitude of the Han Dynasty and the court?"

"The imperial court and the emperor did not make any statement. They acquiesced in Cao Cao's attack on the Gongsun family of Beiyan. In fact, not only Cao Cao attacked the Gongsun family, but also Liu Bei of Linjiang State and Sun Ce of Wu State were also ready to move against the scholars of Yue State. This is obvious. It was the Son of Heaven's intentional connivance."

Speaking of this, Feng Yu stood up from the table, looked at the water surface of the Jinsha River outside the attic, and said slowly: "It has been 13 years since Jian'an, and it is estimated that within two or three years, more than ten people have stabilized. The situation in the world will undergo drastic changes in [-]. Our country of Liang must also be prepared."

Zhuge Jin bowed his head and thought for a moment, then bowed to Feng Yu and said: "Your Majesty, these things show that the Son of Heaven intends to support and strengthen Cao Wei, Liu Bei, and even Sun Ce, and finally make them strong enough to check and balance, and even destroy our Liang Kingdom. So, we can’t stand by and watch, it’s better to send troops to support Yue and Yan. Even if these two countries can’t be saved from subjugation in the end, at least it can delay another chaos in the world.”

Feng Yu paced back and forth on the site, thinking about Zhuge Jin's suggestion.Finally decided: "No, now we are not openly hostile to the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, Sun Wu, and Liu Bei's Linjiang Kingdom. We can only secretly support some grain and grass supplies, and the Northern Yan Kingdom is too far away from us, beyond our reach. As for the Yue Kingdom, we can only send support to them in the name of Funan and Langyaxiu, the small barbarian countries in the southeast."

……

Summer is coming in a blink of an eye, and the snow in the snow-capped Liaodong region has melted away.Cao Wei's army, which was on an expedition to Beiyan, launched a summer offensive again. Under the mopping up of more than [-] tiger and leopard cavalry and [-] elite infantry of the Wei army, the four counties in Liaodong, that is, most of the territory of Beiyan, was completely occupied by the Wei army. One fell.

In addition, Cao Cao also sent a small army of more than a thousand people to cross the sea from Qingzhou by boat, landed in Sanhan, and then threatened with lures to drive the various ministries of Sanhan and Wei Jun to form a coalition army to attack Yan Guolelang from the south. county.

It's time for autumn in October.Yan Wang Gongsun Kang's territory is the four counties in Liaodong, only the east half of Xuantu County is left. He brought the last elite of [-] Yan troops to guard the city.It seemed that Cao Cao would not give up until the complete subjugation of the Yan State. Under his personal leadership, in the cold north wind, the Wei army continued to attack the remaining Yan army.

In the end, Gongsun Kang, the king of Yan, only had the land rented by his husband.However, this husband rents the city by the seaside of Jinghai, and Gongsun Kang has prepared a way out for himself. At the last moment, he will evacuate to the east by boat. land.

Fortunately, Gongsun Kang did not end up in exile overseas, and the severe winter in Xuantu County helped him.

Chapter 433 Lost business

The cold wind from the north blew on Cao Cao's face like a knife, and the dark clouds all over the sky were sweeping in.Some Wei soldiers who were still in autumn clothes were shivering from the cold.An angry Cao Cao asked, "Where is the quartermaster?"

After a while, a junior official in the army ran over in fear, and said in his mouth: "The villain is here, what is the king's order?"

Cao Cao shot a fierce light in his eyes, and asked sharply, "Why haven't the winter uniforms in the army been prepared yet?"

"Q... Your majesty, this is not a small matter. The small one is only responsible for the deployment of supplies in the army, but the supplies brought in from the rear are not the responsibility of the small one. The young one also knows that many soldiers have not yet been equipped with winter clothes. .But the small ones... the small ones are too small for a clever woman to cook without rice. There is a gap in the number of winter clothes brought in from the rear. No matter how they are arranged, it is impossible for everyone to match them."

Cao Cao waved his hand impatiently and drove the quartermaster away.Cao Ren, who accompanied Cao Cao on the expedition, said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, this severe winter is coming, and our army will be unable to move as soon as the snow falls. Let's withdraw as soon as possible before the snow accumulates. I don't know if your majesty knows about the severe cold in Liaodong. Don't It is said that many of our soldiers are not equipped with winter clothes, even if they wear winter clothes, people will freeze to death in the severe cold season with heavy snowfall."

Cao Cao pointed to Fuzu City not far away and said, "Retire? As long as this city is captured, the Gongsun family and Yan Kingdom will be dead. But now that we have retreated, this year's battle will be considered useless."

"But Your Majesty, even if we retreat, the battle is not in vain. At least we have consumed most of Gongsun Kang's strength for the coming year..." Cao Ren wanted to persuade him, but seeing Cao Cao's angry face, He stopped speaking.

At this time, a rider flew over, and the rider flew off the horse, knelt down on one knee and presented a letter to Cao Cao, saying: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent letter from the great sacrificial wine to the king." It was Guo Jia, Cao Cao's great sacrificial wine in the army.

Cao Cao opened the letter and looked it over, sighed and said: "Feng Xiao also advised me to withdraw my troops no matter what before the heavy winter snow falls, otherwise the whole army may be wiped out."

After finishing speaking, he changed his tone again, and said loudly: "The military order of the Gu, the whole army withdraws, except for some important strongholds that must be stationed, and all other troops withdraw to Beiping."

Cao Ren felt happy in his heart, secretly thinking that Guo Jia's words to Cao Cao were still useful.

The sound of drums and trumpets suddenly sounded loudly, and the Wei army formed an army formation, alternately covering each other, and retreated to the southwest in an orderly manner.Cao Cao stayed until the end to leave. Before he left, he glanced at Fuzucheng again and sighed repeatedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's just a little short of the success. I hope to be able to rule the world in my lifetime."

When Wei Jun returned to Beiping County, the sky was already full of snowflakes, and many thinly dressed soldiers had fallen ill due to the cold weather.Cao Cao was glad that he listened to the persuasion and withdrew his troops in time without suffering any greater losses.

Even though he was on the front line, Cao Cao could regularly receive summaries of pond newspapers from the rear.However, due to the long distance, the pond newspaper period of each issue is very long.The news I read is often outdated from more than a month ago.And the Wei envoy who was released only returned to Yecheng half a month ago.

Therefore, Cao Cao, who had just returned to Yecheng, did not know the results of Liang Guo's battle in Xiaoxiyang, Funan Kingdom's change of the king's flag, Wei envoy's capture by Liang Jun, and so on.

When he learned the news, he became depressed again. This year, he made two useless moves in a row.Cao Cao locked himself in the study again, thinking hard about what to do next.The high-intensity mental work and the depressed heart made his head ache again...

When Cao Cao attacked Yan Wang Gongsun Kang, Liu Bei, who pinned his hopes on the emperor Liu Xie, was not idle.He launched an attack on the scholars of the Yue State on the grounds that the Yue State had usurped the Han Dynasty.

Unlike the cold Liaodong, in Jiaozhou, the cool winter is precisely the best season to launch military operations.Liu Bei's army was divided into two groups, one with Wei Yan as the main general, crossing Nanling from Guiyang County, and attacking in the direction of Nanhai County, and the other with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the main generals starting from Lingling County and attacking Jiaozhi County through Yulin County.

Liu Bei and the generals under his command have a good way of running the army. All the soldiers are brave and elite, far beyond the comparison of the generals of Yue.The two armies were invincible, and in just two months at the beginning, Wei Yan's army approached Panyu, the South China Sea government.Guan and Zhang also swept through the entire territory of Yulin County like a broken bamboo, and continued to march towards Jiaozhi County in the southern hinterland of Yue Kingdom.

But when the two armies went deep into the hinterland of the Yue country, they felt that the resistance of the Yue country became more and more tenacious.The main force of Wei Yan's army sent troops to Boluo County in the northeast of Panyu, and they were unable to attack for a long time.

Although Guan and Zhang didn't encounter such a nail, they were constantly harassed by the Vietnamese troops that appeared from time to time in the jungle, causing them to stop and go and march extremely slowly.

Sometimes the Vietnamese army would suddenly appear behind them, near the cities that had already been occupied, forcing them to return to the rescue.A small group of Vietnamese troops even passed through the vast Yulin County and appeared in Lingling County, the mainland of Linjiang Kingdom.Fortunately, Liu Bei deployed a mobile force led by Huang Zhong in the south of Jingzhou, and drove the Vietnamese army out in time, so that no major harm was caused.

At noon again, even in the middle of winter, the still scorching southern Xinjiang sun shone down overwhelmingly, and the baked people were extremely uncomfortable.

With a few drums and trumpets, an army marching in the jungle and wilderness stopped, and the soldiers began to rest.Some of them hid in the shade of trees, and some took gourds and other containers to find water sources.A few soldiers immediately set up two small horses and a small tea table under the shade of the tree, and two people who looked like generals came over.These two people are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei threw the spear in his hand upside down and vigorously threw it on the ground, and the snake spear sank two feet into the soil, standing straight on the mud.He sat down on the maza and yelled to the relevant staff: "I said second brother, what do you think our elder brother thinks, why don't we go to fight the fat and oily Liang country, enter Yizhou, and run to this Niaobula Shit, what are you doing in Jiaozhou where there are no people for dozens of miles?"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "Second brother, you have been in the army for so many years, why don't you know this bit of common sense. When we expand our strength, of course we must choose the enemy first from easy to difficult, from weak to strong."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said: "Hey, second brother, I still understand this truth. But even so, it can't be like this, because we are still losing money in Jiaozhou! There is no one in Jiaozhou, no land, and three No money. How many years will it take for us to capture it to recoup the cost of sending troops. This should be a corner area that should be considered last after the big brother takes over the world. Why did you solve it in advance?"

At this time, the soldiers had already boiled the tea and brought it to them.Guan Yu took a sip of his hot tea and said leisurely, "Third Brother, this is what you don't know. Our annexation of Yue is not a loss-making business. Just listen to me."

Chapter 434

Guan Yu stroked his proud long beard and said: "Third brother, why do you think Liang is so strong and strong?"

Zhang Fei showed a look of disapproval and said: "Brother, I know this. Liangzhou and Yizhou are both lands of abundance, with fertile land. During the chaos of Zhongping, there were not many military disasters. The terrain of Liang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we only It takes very few troops to garrison the key points to guard the whole territory, which saves a lot of labor. Feng Yu's guy has some amazing skills, which can increase a lot of grain harvest every year. There are more people of this kind of grain, and the production If you grow high, you will naturally be rich."

Guan Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Third Brother, you are an old Huang Li by persuading farmers to cultivate mulberries to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Then Liang State is not a country based on agriculture at all. Although during the chaos of Zhongping, Liang State Compared with the Central Plains, Yizhou suffered much less damage from the Yellow Turban bandits. But they are not completely free from the Yellow Turban disaster. In addition, these two states are sparsely populated, and Yizhou also suffered When the epidemic hits, the population also withers..."

Seeing that Guan Yu was talking endlessly, Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Oh, second brother, why are you talking so much nonsense. Just tell me why Liang is so powerful today."

Guan Yu said with a serious expression at this time: "Because Feng Yu took an unreasonable way of governing the country, he did not regard farming and mulberry as the first foundation of his rule. Instead, he attached great importance to the role of merchants. It started after they found a sea channel in the barren land in the southwest of the frontier. I heard that their annual tax revenue here is several times that of the grain tax. Since Lu Bu opened the frontier of the northern region and their After pacifying the Western Regions Commander's Mansion, these tax revenues may have increased several times, and now the Liang State actually does not need the peasants to bear the money for raising soldiers and officials."

Zhang Fei got angry when he heard Lu Bu's name, but he still said disapprovingly: "How to say, Nongsang should also be the root. The merchants don't do production, they just earn the interest difference through transportation and logistics. The gold and silver they earn, Can't eat or drink. Once the war starts, don't Liang Jun need to bring food and grass, and can fight with only gold and silver?"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "Gold and silver can't be eaten or used, but they can be used to buy food. Even if all the princes don't sell him food during the war, he can still buy a lot of food, grass and horses in the Western world."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "When it comes to war, we will cut off the bottom line and cut off his business route!"

Guan Yu said sternly again: "That's right, this is exactly the purpose of the elder brother's attack on the Yue Kingdom. The three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan in the Yue Kingdom are very important. If you capture these three counties and Zhu Yazhou in the sea, you will be able to control the country. For a short section of the trade route, we can also get a share of it, which is enough to make up for the losses we paid in attacking the Yue Kingdom. And if necessary, we can go west from Yulin Jiaozhi and attack the Zangke County in the territory of the Liang Kingdom. Finally cut off the connection between Liang Guo and the sea."

Zhang Fei was about to burst into laughter when he heard a scream in the distance.Knowing that this was another surprise attack from the Vietnamese army, he pulled out the snake spear stuck in the ground and rushed towards the sound. Guan Yu also took the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in the hands of the soldiers, and rushed out after him.

Amidst the sound of hissing through the air, countless bamboo arrows shot towards the Linjiang Army infantry.At this time, many Linjiang Army soldiers were afraid of the heat and took off their armor.They were caught off guard, and many were injured by arrows.Once the sharp bamboo arrows were shot into their bodies, it would not take long for the wounds to turn black and ooze pus.These bamboo arrows were obviously boiled with venom.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei scolded angrily: "You have been told not to take off your armor when you are recuperating, why don't you listen." As soon as the words fell, a bamboo armor was shot on his breastplate with a loud sound, and it bounced off on the ground.

Zhang Fei rushed into the nearby forest with a stride, and the nearly two long snake spears in his hand stabbed away like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.Immediately there was a scream in the forest, and Zhang Fei picked it up again, and a corpse was picked out from a place with lush grass.Looking at the dress, he looks like a native soldier of the Yue Kingdom.

The rest of the Linjiang soldiers also followed Zhang Fei into the forest, stabbing and hacking at the possible hiding places of the Yue soldiers with long spears and steel knives.The crossbowman climbed to the top of the big tree, and when he saw something strange in the forest, he bent his bow and set up an arrow to shoot randomly at it.

Seeing the swaying vegetation in front of him, a Linjiang soldier straightened out his long spear and stabbed swiftly. He only felt that his strength was blocked by something, and when he heard an oops, he knew he had succeeded.Sure enough, the body of a Yue soldier fell out of the grass.At this time, he heard a whistling sound, subconsciously dodged his footsteps to the left, and the poisonous arrow barely brushed past his ear.

He was just about to rejoice that he dodged the arrow, but unexpectedly, his feet were empty and he fell into the ground.There are traps on the ground!Then he felt a sharp pain in his feet, and looked down to see that both feet were pierced by bamboo sticks, firmly nailed to the bottom of the trap.

The screams sounded one after another in the forest.Among them are the screams of Yue soldiers being beheaded, and the screams of Linjiang soldiers falling into a trap and being pierced by bamboo sticks at the bottom of the trap.

After all, the Linjiang soldiers were Liu Bei's tiger and wolf division, and there were a large number of them. These sneak attacking Vietnamese soldiers were not opponents. In an instant, except for a few who escaped into the depths of the dense forest and were captured, the rest were all beheaded.

Guan Yu's personal soldiers escorted several prisoners of Yue who had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces to the front of Guan and Zhang. The leader was a general.He reported to the two of them: "To the two generals, we have just interrogated these captives, but these captives do not understand our language, and we cannot ask why."

Guan Yu asked suspiciously, "Don't you guys understand the dialect of the Yue Kingdom? Isn't it all Southwest official dialect?"

The general shook his head and replied: "The general doesn't know something, not because we can't understand the dialect they speak, but because they don't speak Chinese at all..."

Before the general could finish speaking, Guan Yu interrupted him, "That's the barbarians in the Southwest. There are also barbarians in our army who can speak the language of the barbarians. Why can't they speak the language?"

The general smiled bitterly and said: "Don't lie to the general, the subordinates can understand the language of the barbarians in the Southwest, but what they speak is not the language of the barbarians in the Southwest."

Hearing this, Guan Yu became curious, but Zhang Fei next to him said impatiently: "Mother, don't care what he said, kill him."

General "Nuo" then commanded the soldiers to behead these captives.

But Guan Yu said: "Wait a minute, I want to find out their origin, maybe this is important." After finishing speaking, Guan Yu stepped forward and looked at the prisoners carefully.At first glance, these people are similar to the barbarians in the southwest, or even the Han people who have lived in the counties in the southwest for many years.But if you observe carefully, you can still see some differences, so Guan Yu concluded that they were not natives of Yue.

Chapter 435

Guan Yu ordered to the left and right: "Go, call all the local guides accompanying the army and see who of them understand these words." After Guan Zhang's army entered the territory of Yue, they would naturally recruit a large number of natives to serve as laborers and guides.

These people were quickly summoned, and there were hundreds of them.When Zhu Luo invaded the hinterland of Yizhou.A large number of Huawai Zhufan who originally lived in the south of Yongchang County also moved northward, and some of them moved from Zangke County to Yulin County, Xiang County in the east.Therefore, some of these native people should understand the various discourses in the south.

Sure enough, it was quickly identified that these people all spoke Mon, and they should be Mon Khmer Mon people.Guan Yu murmured, "Meng people, so in the barren lands in the south, which Fan kingdoms are mainly populated by Meng people?"

An old man with white beard and hair said tremblingly: "General, the Meng people are widely distributed in the area of ​​thousands of miles to the south. But there is only one Fan Kingdom with the Mon people as the main population, and that is Funan Kingdom. "
