Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Feng Yu also called Cao Chong the King of Wei.More than one person said in their hearts, is it possible that the Holy Majesty will crack the soil and seal the border for Cao Chong?If this is the case, a certain must die.

Cao Chong came to Feng Yu anxiously. He first saluted Feng Yu, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't call your ministers Wei Wang anymore. Now that the world is united, everyone in the world is His Majesty's subjects, and there is no exception for the ministers." This King of Wei is the title given to my father by the previous dynasty, and now it cannot be used under the rule of Daliang."

Feng Yu suddenly put away his smile, and said calmly: "Cang Shu, I once promised you that when the world is unified, I will let you be your king of Wei and give you a piece of land to seal the country." Everyone knows that Feng Yu's face makes people feel the most stressful. When he shows this expression, he will often make a jaw-dropping decision.

Cao Chong said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to be the King of Wei. If Your Majesty is worried about my minister, I can give up any salary and food and go back to my hometown... Oh, no, Your Majesty can reward you with a hundred acres of land in any place. Let the minister be a farmer and spend the rest of his life."

Feng Yu immediately smiled again, and said: "Cang Shu, what I'm saying is the truth, not to test you. Just put your heart at it."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yu suddenly changed his subject, pointed to the east, and asked, "Cang Shu, do you know where is the opposite side of the sea?"

Cao Chong was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know why Feng Yu's words changed suddenly. Although he had read all kinds of books, he didn't know where the other side of the sea was.He murmured and replied: "It should be Liaodong County. Why did your Majesty ask this question? Does Your Majesty want Cang Shu to go to Liaodong County?" When Cao Chong said this, he already thought that after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he would send several of his All the brothers were exiled to Liaodong.

At this time, Guo Jia walked out from the crowd, first bowed to Feng Yu as a monarch and minister, and then replied instead of Cao Chong: "Your Majesty, the opposite side of the sea is Daifang County, which was separated from Lelang County. The south of it is where Han Yi lives." Then he turned around and said softly to Cao Chong: "Cangshu, although Liaodong County is also opposite the sea here, it is in the north, and the east your Majesty refers to is Bring Fang County."

Cao Chong quickly replied, "Students have memorized it clearly." Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "You don't need to understand these things. Only those who lead the army to fight, conquer the four directions, or defend the borders of the emperor need to know these geographical details. From now on, you only need to study the classics and theories. Dao, just recite poems and make fus.”

Guo Jia's words were obviously not for Cao Chong, but for Feng Yu.Feng Yu said in a disapproving tone: "Since this is the case, King Wei should learn more about geography from Mr. Feng Xiao. Because I need King Wei to govern and guard a very large territory for me."

Guo Jia was obviously moved and asked: "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to seal the land of Sanhan south of Daifang County to Cangshu?"

Feng Yu said with a slightly approving expression: "Guo Jia is still the same Guo Jia. If someone else guessed, I should have entrusted King Wei to Daifang County, but you can think of Sanhan. However, your guess It’s still far from what I expected. I didn’t want King Wei to go to the land of Sanhan.”

Feng Yu paused for a moment, and then continued: "In the south of Sanhan, across the sea, there is a wider land. In comparison, Sanhan is only the size of a large county, but there are several states. The size of the land. King Wei can flex his muscles there."

Guo Jia said solemnly: "Your Majesty is talking about the territory of the Yamatai Kingdom? It is also the place where all the Japanese people gather. But this Yamatai Kingdom has been sent to Yecheng several times, but no one knows where the Wa people's land is. , I only heard that it is in Lelang Sea. And I don’t know if this place of Japanese people..."

He wanted to say whether the Japanese people's land was a barren land, but he remembered that he was talking to the emperor, so he stopped talking abruptly.

Chapter 705 Fief Yingzhou

Feng Yu naturally knew what Guo Jia wanted to say next, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Feng Xiao, I have asked people to collect relevant information. Whether it is the land of Sanhan or the climate of the Japanese land, it is all related to me. There is not much difference between the middle land and it is very suitable for farming and mulberry. Moreover, the land of the Japanese people has a vast area, and the climate in the north and the south is different, but it can correspond to the climate in the north and south of my land in the middle land. The north is like Youyan, and the south is like Jiangdong Jingchu. In fact This piece of land is likely to be Yingzhou as recorded in ancient books. The reason why these places are barbarians is entirely because of the isolation of the sea, and the lack of navigation and ships before that. Although there is land in the three Koreas connected to China , but the connected land is the bitter cold and mountainous Liaodong region. So when King Wei went there, it was no different from getting a piece of land in the Central Plains."

At this time, Cao Chong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow your majesty's will and go to Yingzhou of the Japanese to open up the territory for your majesty. But how will I get there? How many people will I take with me?"

Feng Yu replied: "You can take all the Wei ministers and Wei soldiers who surrendered to our beams in Nanyang back then. As for the journey, when the Yamatai Kingdom went to Yecheng as an envoy, they first took a boat along the coast to Daifang County, and then went by land. Bypass Liaodong and come to the Central Plains. However, although the commanders of Lelang, Daifang and other counties have surrendered to Daliang, the places they actually control are only a few administrative offices and cities. Most of the two counties Now it is occupied by Fuyu people and Goguryeo people. It will take some time for me to completely restore these two counties in Daliang. The sea is far away, instead of going along the coast. So you can go directly to Daifang by sea, cross a strait of more than two hundred miles, and enter Yingzhou. This is a safe and fast route. In fact, with my beam Navigation, if it is not for safety, you can be directly sent to Yingzhou by ocean-going ships."

Speaking of this, Feng Yu paused before continuing: "Do you know that your brother Cao Pi is also on his way to Yingzhou now. According to the report from the scout rangers of the Beifu Army, they arrived at Daifang a few months ago. County, occupying a city. The Beifu army thought they were going to establish a foundation in the land of Sanhan, but unexpectedly found that they kept sending ships down the coastline to investigate. When the news reached me, Chen Tiao's inspection Si also sent a message saying that the Sima family, who had left with Cao Pi, had close contacts with the Yamatai Kingdom a few years ago, and even sent people to follow the Yamatai envoys to Yingzhou. A barbaric family in the eyes of everyone Why is the Sima family attaching so much importance to this land? There must be a very special motive, and I conclude from this that Cao Pi and Sima Yi are trying to go to Yingzhou to establish another foundation."

Hearing Feng Yu's words, not only Cao Chong and Guo Jia, but also those present, the Wei generals who followed Cao Chong and surrendered to Liang, all the faces of those present changed drastically.They have long heard that after Liang Jun won the decisive battle at Wocangang, Cao Pi and Sima Yi led all the civil and military officials to flee all the way east, and finally disappeared on the coast of the East China Sea.

They all thought that Cao Pi and others were either hiding on a small island off the coast of the East China Sea like Tian Heng at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and lived in seclusion.Either the fleet was sunk in the vast ocean, and everyone was buried in the sea.Unexpectedly, they appeared in Daifang County, and they intended to make a comeback in Yingzhou.

Cao Chong suddenly kowtowed to Feng Yu again and said: "I thank the sage for the grace of God. I know that this is a chance for you to honor my father's last words. I will not disgrace the mission. Together with the old ministers of Wei, I will kill you." Kill the two thieves Cao Pi and Sima Yi, and expand the territory for Daliang in Yingzhou."

Feng Yu nodded and said: "Very well, then you will stay in Donglai. I have ordered General Wei Wen's ocean-going fleet to come. He will take you across the Lelang Sea to Daifang, and keep you You escorted to Yingzhou, as for where to land in Yingzhou, we need to discuss and adapt accordingly.”

……

The guard of honor chariots and horses, which could not be seen at a glance, marched on the straight road.This road was built hundreds of years ago during the Qin Dynasty and leads directly to Luoyang, the capital of Daliang.In the troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was buried in the weeds of the wilderness, but most of it has been restored now.

A few fast horses galloped forward from the side of the road suddenly, and they knew that these people were senior generals of Liang Jun just by looking at the horses in their clothes.After a few rides, they slowed down their horses, and followed the cars far behind.At this time, several people began to chatter on the saddle.

An angry voice said: "Hey, brother Zilong, do you know why the Holy Majesty sent Cao Chong to Yingzhou? Since this place is so good, why didn't you send us Liang Jun to take advantage of the opportunity to wipe out the remnants of the false Wei? Occupy this Yingzhou, and convert the Japanese and barbarians there directly under my beam?"

The person who asked the question was Dian Wei, but Zhao Yun didn't answer him, but said: "How does someone know, and someone won't speculate about the holy will casually." Dian Wei rolled his eyes in shock.Hua Xiong on the side replied: "At that time in Luyang, the Holy Majesty promised Cao Chong to keep him as the Duke of Wei and give him a fief. You also know that your Majesty stands in the world with faith and will do what he says. That's why they were sent to Ying Let’s go to Zhou, this way, we can fulfill our promise, and secondly, we can let them kill the remnants of the false Wei.”

But then a voice retorted: "But it doesn't make sense. Our Daliang has a vast territory at the moment, and the territory is more than ten thousand miles. If it is just to fulfill a promise, just send the Cao family child to a barren and barren land as a martyr." The king can do it. Why give him Yingzhou, which has a vast land with several states, and the climate and land is similar to the middle land? In addition, if the Wei family child and the old ministers of the Wei state beside him are not extinguished, they do not want to exterminate Cao Pi , but united with it, using Yingzhou as a basis, to plot to compete in the Central Plains again, what should we do?"

The person who spoke was General Wei Yan, and his words made many people nod their heads frequently.

At this time, the curtains of a certain car that was driving by were suddenly pulled open, and he poked his head out and said, "What Wen Chang said is right, His Majesty really just wanted to send Cao Chong and his loyal group of Wei Send the Wei officials to Yizhou. It was only after receiving the news that Cao Pi intends to go into exile in Yingzhou that he changed his mind."

Everyone followed the reputation, and it turned out to be Xun You.Xun You went on to say: "The reason why they were sent to Yingzhou was not only to wipe out the remnants of the puppet Wei Dynasty, but also to open up territories. What's more important is that the world is now initially settled, and the population of the world is still very small compared to the heyday. It is time to rest and recuperate, and it is not easy to go on an expedition across the sea. Moreover, the Holy Majesty has determined to completely pacify the four counties in Liaodong, and then he will use troops against the three Hans."

Hearing that there was another war, all the generals showed excitement.Only Wei Yanwu bowed his head in thought for a moment and said: "Doctor Xun, what you said is contradictory. You said that the Holy Majesty thought that Liang should cultivate his life and rest, so he didn't plan to use Daliang's army to attack Yingzhou. But why did you use troops against Sanhan?" "

Before Xun You could speak, a voice came from behind Wei Yan: "That's a good question!" All the generals were shocked when they heard this voice!

Chapter 706

There is only one person who can make Liang Jun's high-ranking generals turn pale with fright and tremble, and that is the emperor of Liang, Feng Yu.Everyone knew it was him when they heard the sound, and some people didn't dare to turn their heads back, they silently stepped aside to make way for Feng Yu.Only Dian Wei turned his head and said: "My lord, shouldn't you be in the car..."

Before Dian Wei could finish his sentence, Dian Qing stabbed his thigh with the back end of his lance. Only then did he realize that his words were inappropriate, so he quickly stopped talking.Feng Yu didn't care, and replied carelessly: "I was too bored sitting in the car, so I got out of the car and rode for a drive." While speaking, he had already rode his horse forward and came among the generals.

"The reason why I want to completely pacify Liaodong and Sanhan is because the climate and geography of Sanhan is like the Central Plains, and it is closely connected with our Daliang Border County. Since thousands of years ago, the subjugated ministers of the Shang, Zhou and Qin dynasties or All the survivors in exile moved there. So as the population increases, there may be a unified dynasty with the same etiquette, customs and language as Daliang at any time. Of course, such a dynasty cannot be as big as the threat that the northern Xiongnu posed to the Central Plains. But I, Daliang, do not allow such a dynasty to exist, even if they call Daliang a minister. Sanhan must be included in the county system of Daliang, because in the whole world, there are no kings and ministers, and the land of the land is the king's land!"

Everyone stopped talking, and only Dian Wei asked uninterestedly: "But your majesty, I still have a few questions. Aren't there so many foreign countries in the thousands of miles of territory controlled by our girders? Why did your majesty allow their dynasty To exist independently, all you need to do is to surrender to Daliang? For example, Funan, Langyaxiu, Malajia, etc. In addition, there are many foreign countries in the tens of thousands of miles of territory that our Daliang knows, and they even surrender to Daliang They didn’t even make it. Finally, since Your Majesty thinks so, why did you let Cao Chong go to Yingzhou to establish Wei?”

Before Feng Yu could answer, Xun You poked his head out of the car window and said to Dian Wei: "Zizi can't be taught. Didn't the Holy Majesty make it clear? If there is a unified dynasty in the three Koreas, it will not be comparable to those foreign countries. Yu Daliang Bingwei, professing ministers to Daliang, but internally he will regard himself as the emperor, and in his bones, he will also regard himself as a royal court that keeps pace with the Daliang court, and regards the one-third of an acre of land under his jurisdiction as China. In their eyes, the relationship with Daliang is like the relationship between Zhou Fang and Shang Fang thousands of years ago. They may even have the idea of ​​competing in the Central Plains when the conditions are ripe and becoming a veritable king of the world. But the Funan you mentioned, Langya This is not the case with Xiu, Malajia, etc. Huawaifanbang, because Huawaibang does not use my Central Plains Confucianism system of etiquette and law of the family, country and world."

The generals saw that Xun You said so much in one breath, and they must have discussed with Feng Yu for a long time, so they knew so much about Feng Yu's thoughts.In fact, not only Xun You, but also Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Zhou Yu discussed this issue with Feng Yu in the small hall for three days.

Xun You paused for a moment, saw that Feng Yu's expression did not stop him from speaking, and then mentioned the matter of Yingzhou.

"As for Yingzhou, which is similar to the land of the Three Hans, as the immigrants from the Central Plains move in, our thoughts on etiquette and legal system will also greatly affect them. When the time is right, they will also have the ambition to win the Central Plains. Now Cao Pi is going there, trying to reopen The foundation increases this possibility even more. If the current population of Daliang returns to the heyday of the former Han Dynasty, the Holy One will also have the idea of ​​incorporating Yingzhou into the county system for direct governance.

It's a pity that I don't have this condition in Daliang now, and Yingzhou's territory is too vast compared to Sanhan, and the distance from the Central Plains is much farther than Sanhan, which is only hundreds of miles away by sea.It is unrealistic for us to directly send troops to conquer it.Even if soldiers are sent, in order to facilitate the dispatch and rule, the commander must be granted the princely title and sufficient corresponding authority.In this way, what is the difference from the court letting Cao Chong go as King Wei?

Therefore, His Majesty simply sent Cao Chong along with those loyal ministers of Wei who followed him.In turn, this is another necessary reason why I, Daliang, want to take Sanhan directly into my hands.One is that we can provide Cao Chong with certain support through Handi.Second, even if the situation in Yingzhou changes in the future, if the Three Hans are firmly controlled by Daliang, their influence and threat to the Central Plains will be limited to a minimum. "

Hearing this, some of the crowd secretly thought over and over whether Xun You's words made sense, while others nodded their heads in praise.Zhang Liao, who had been silent all this time, said: "Someone in the court has been admonishing His Majesty to educate those foreigners who surrendered to Daliang, so that their culture and language will be naturalized in the Central Plains, but His Majesty has never agreed. I have always been puzzled by this. , Now I know that His Majesty is worried about being strong and weak. Since His Majesty has this worry, I have a suggestion that His Majesty can issue an edict to ban the sea and seal the customs, and prohibit the people of the Central Plains from going overseas."

Don't talk about others, even Feng Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately said casually: "Forbidden sea seal? Absolutely not!" But he didn't say the reason.In fact, even if Feng Yu thinks about this problem clearly and understands it clearly, he still can't explain it clearly to people of this era.

Everyone saw Feng Yu's sudden silence, and at the same time his face became dull and his eyes became dull, thinking that he was dissatisfied with Zhang Liao's words.He didn't dare to speak any more, and Zhang Liao's expression became even more unnatural.In fact, Feng Yu is just lost in thought now.Zhang Liao's words made Feng Yu speculate on the possible reasons why some emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties closed their country in the original world.

According to the view of the world in the traditional Confucian thought, as the orthodox king whose destiny belongs to, he should be under the whole world.However, the centralized system of imperial power formed after the Qin and Han Dynasties and the scope of rule supported by the production level of small-scale peasant society had limits.So the two are contradictory.

In the early days, because people saw a limited scope of the world, this kind of contradiction was not prominent. In the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, even ordinary people had more and more vision of the world.This contradiction is highlighted.In this way, the emperors are worried that the people know that they are not worthy of the name of the king of the world, and the second is that they are even more worried that the people of the Middle Earth will flee to the vast territory, and some kind of royal court will be created in the foreign land with the same fertile land. The same Confucian ideology and mentality also pretended to be the son of heaven to fight against them, and even sent troops to compete for the Central Plains and the world when their own dynasty was declining.So what should we do?So simply seal off the sea.

Thinking of this, Feng Yu thought hard again, what should he do with his huge empire, his life and even his descendants are not a big problem, but what will happen hundreds of years later.

It's a pity that this question is too broad and deep, and even Feng Yu, who has two lives, thinks about it.He simply thought to himself, why bother with so many motherfuckers, since he has come to this world for a while, he will do it vigorously and leave more footprints in the history of the world!

Chapter 707

Five hundred miles to the east from Feng Yu's view of the sea, you can see a city standing on the coast.This coast is obviously different from Feng Yu's "east facing Jieshi".That is, there are no rough waves and no rugged reefs.There are only sandy beaches with gentle waves.

This city is Liekou County, one of the seven counties in Daifang County.At present, Gongsun Dan, the prefect of Daifang County, is pacing back and forth on the city wall with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtful.There are several staff behind him.

Daifang County was originally a large piece of wasteland drawn by the Gongsun family of Beiyan from the south of Lelang County, and several counties and cities were established in it, making it a county.The purpose of the Gongsun family in doing this is to control the increasingly unrestrained tribes of the Three Hans in the south of Lelang County.

Later, when Cao Wei attacked Yanwang Gongsundu, he took it together with Daifang County.However, in order to effectively rule Haidong, Cao Cao still had to select people from the Gongsun family to serve as important officials in various counties and counties.

After all, the Gongsun family is the only Guan family with a big surname that can control the overall situation among the Han people in the entire Haidong area.If someone else came to rule Liaodong, I am afraid that there will not be a day of peace, and the government orders may not be able to leave the administration.

Back then, Gongsun Du was recommended by Xu Rong and Dong Zhuo made him the prefect of Liaodong County, so he had the opportunity to become the later king of Beiyan.But if he wasn't surnamed Gongsun, he wouldn't be able to achieve such an achievement with Dong Zhuo's paper alone.In fact, the entire Bohai Sea and the coast of Lelang Sea, except for the land of Samhan.When the word Gongsun is mentioned, it is like thunder.

But Cao Cao was not overly worried about this, because the Gongsun family, the Guan family with a surname that had multiplied for more than ten generations in Liaodong, was so big that the various branches could not be integrated without a strong man like Gongsun Du. .So their influence is limited to where the various branch families are located.Facts did not disappoint Cao Cao. A few years after the attack on Gongsundu, the Gongsun family in Liaodong showed obedience to Cao Wei, without any arrogance and rebellion.

It's just that in the past few years, Cao Wei's attention was all on the Central Plains and the feudal lords, and he basically didn't have the energy to govern this remote border county.When Cao Pi ascended the throne, it was even more impossible to effectively rule Daifang County.In the eighth year of Xiuwu, with Lu Bu's Daliang Beifu army aggressively invading the Jinghai coast and Liaodong, those Dongyi tribes who were unwilling to surrender to the Beifu army, including Fuyu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Goguryeo, etc. People and others fled south one after another.This led to a great migration of peoples.

This great migration triggered drastic changes in the population structure of the Liaodong and Haidong regions.A large number of Dongyi tribes who poured into the four counties of Liaodong did not obey the control of the counties and counties at all, and even attacked cities and lands, killing officials and taking people away.Daifang County, which is located in the far south, is no exception.

Gongsun Dan, the prefect of Daifang County, has severed contact with Ye City of Cao Wei for a long time, even if there is a connection, it is meaningless.At this time, Cao Wei was unable to spare any troops to reinforce Liaodong, and had actually abandoned Liaodong.The magistrates of the four counties, including Gongsun Dan, are already in a state of actual independence.

Later, the news of Liang Jun's defeat of Wei Jun in the field south of Yecheng spread to Liaodong.Gongsun Dan immediately sent someone to send a surrender form to Daliang emperor Feng Yu, expressing his willingness to surrender to Daliang, and at the same time expressing his hope that Feng Yu would send the imperial army to the belt.In previous years, no one would want other people's troops to be stationed on their own territory.But Gongsun Dan is now in a state of desperation.His actual dominance was also limited to two coastal cities --- Liekou and Nanxin.The rest of the area has long been occupied by the Hu cavalry from the south. From time to time in the wilderness, large groups of cavalry can be seen galloping past.

Not long after Gongsun Dan sent the letter of surrender to Daliang, he heard an amazing news.A fleet of about five or six hundred ships suddenly appeared on the Lelang Sea near Nanxincheng.They captured Nanxincheng with lightning speed.

Later, without waiting for Gongsundan to send someone to inquire about the details, the owner of this group of soldiers and horses asked the county magistrate of Nanxin City to bring a letter to Gongsundan.

When Gongsun Dan opened the letter, he was even more stunned.He originally guessed that this army was attacked by the Liang army or some Japanese country, but he never expected that the army that came was the remnant army of the Wei State that had been destroyed in the Central Plains, and the emperor Cao Pi of Wei was among them.

This is a Wei army with about 8000 soldiers and horses, most of them are infantry, and there are a small number of Wei army elite cavalry tiger and leopard cavalry.This amount of troops is really nothing, but an army of 8000 people is not only enough to break into Liekou City where Gongsun Dan is located, and take his head off.It is also enough to be king and hegemony within a few hundred miles of Daifang County.

The letter stated that Gongsun Dan should go to Nanxincheng to meet Cao Pi in person, but he did not say what the purpose of Cao Pi's coming to Daifang was.Gongsun Dan's heart immediately beat up and down, and he fell into a dilemma.

Gongsun Dan knew that in terms of time, it was unlikely that Cao Pi would know that he had sent a surrender form to Liang Jun, intending to submit to Daliang.Even so, he was not willing to take the risk to go to Nanxincheng. As soon as he entered Nanxincheng, he would be a fish to be slaughtered by Cao Pi.Even if Cao Pi didn't kill him, it would be possible to take him as a hostage to control Liekou City and even Daifang County.It is possible for a down and out king in exile to do anything.

But if he doesn't go, the Wei army is more likely to directly send troops to attack. Even if he holds the city firmly, how many days can he defend under the long-term siege of [-] Wei troops?In the end, his staff gave him an idea -- unite Baekje and hold on to the city.If the Wei army really came to attack Liekou City, they would ask the Fuyu cavalry from Baekje to help them attack from inside and outside, defeat the Wei army, and break the siege of Liekou.

Baekje was originally one of the 54 countries of Mahan. Although it is called a country, it is just a city-state with one city and several cities and a tribal clan as the center.It is similar to the ancient Fang Kingdom in the Middle Earth Shang and Zhou Dynasties of China.

It's just that this Baekje country is different from other Mahan tribal countries.Because it has been conquered by the Buyeo people who went south, his ruling class is not the Mahan natives, but the Buyeo people.The surname of the current Baekje king is the clan title = = Buyeo, and the name is Qiushou.Fuyu Qiushou happily agreed to Gongsundan's request --- as long as the Wei army besieged Liekou City, the Fuyu people's iron cavalry would gallop to help from Weili City and attack the Wei army from behind.

Based on Gongsun Dan's understanding of the Baekje people, there is nothing wrong with their credibility.So he immediately began to strengthen the city defense of Liekou City, assembled the army to prepare for war, and waited for the attack of the Wei army.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Dan waited and waited, but nothing happened as he expected.The Wei army did not come to attack Liekou City, which is [-] miles away, but used Nanxin City as a base to raid the Ma and Han city-states within a radius of [-] miles, and the Hu camps in the south.Even captives also rob food.At first, Gongsun Dan thought that the Wei army was short of food and grass, so he had to solve the urgent need first.But after a few months, there was still no movement, which made Gongsun Dan puzzled.

Chapter 708

Liekou City in Daifang County.Gongsun Dan, who had already patrolled the city, was about to go down to the city and go back to his residence to rest, but he heard some defenders start to exclaim: "There are ships coming from the sea!"

Gongsun Dan's heart was shocked, and he thought that it must be Wei Jun who came.He turned his head and looked towards the sea to the southwest, and sure enough, dozens of hundreds of masts appeared on the sea level, and then layers of sails also emerged.

"The enemy is coming, prepare to fight!" Gongsun Dan shouted loudly.More than a thousand leading soldiers rushed to the top of the city in a hurry and crouched behind the wall. Gongsun Dan, like them, hid most of his body behind the wall, with only his head sticking out, watching the sea nervously. The fleet that is getting closer and closer.

Half an hour later, those warships began to break down. It was only because the coast outside Liekou City was a sandy beach, so these warships could not sail to the shore. The location where they anchored was nearly two hundred battles away from Liekou City. distance.At this distance, Gongsun Dan still couldn't see the flags on the opponent's warship clearly.

The people on the warships have put down the sampans one after another to load soldiers and horses for landing.On the small boats closer to the coast, some soldiers even jumped directly into the waist-deep sea water and waded ashore.Another half an hour later, the beach near the city wall was full of soldiers and horses of all kinds.Some of them were infantry dressed in armor that shone like a lobster carapace with metallic luster, and armed with large shields and spears.Some of them straddled huge armored war horses with a height of six feet at the shoulders, and knights also dressed in excellent armor.

Gongsun Dan secretly wondered, why the Wei army who was beaten by Liang Jun and went into exile overseas can still be so good?He has lived in the remote county of Daifang for a long time, so he naturally didn't know that it was Liang Junbuqi who came.After a while, shouts came from below the city: "The defenders on the city, we are Liang Jun who came across the sea from Qingzhou. Your Gongsun prefect has lowered the watch to my Liang. Open the city gate quickly and let us wait." into town."

Only then did Gongsun Dan poke his head out and shouted: "This is Gongsun Dan, may I ask where are your generals and how can you prove that you are indeed Liang Jun? It's not that someone is too suspicious, but that the remnants of the Wei army are only a few hundred miles away. It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t have to cheat to open the city outside of Nanxin City.”

But at this time, there was a loud laugh from the city, and then a familiar voice from Gongsun Dan floated to the top of the city: "Gongsun Dan, do you still remember XX?" Gongsun Dan looked quickly and saw a feeling It was a very familiar face, but he couldn't remember where he met this person.

The man continued to speak with a Liaodong accent: "It's Xu Rong, you and I studied in a private school, don't you remember?" childhood classmates.It's just that Xu Rong left his hometown to go to another country when he was a teenager, and he hasn't seen each other for more than ten years.

But for Xu Rong later turned his back on Dong Zhuo and took refuge in Feng Yu, the Marquis of Zhuyang and now the emperor of Daliang.Gongsun Dan had heard of it.Now comparing the equipment uniforms of these soldiers and horses, we know that it is impossible for the Wei army to cheat.Now he was relieved, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let Xu Rong's soldiers and horses enter the city.

Gongsun Dan and Xu Rong, two elementary school classmates who haven't seen each other for more than ten years, naturally chatted for a long time after meeting, and then talked about serious business.Only then did Gongsun Dan know that Xu Rong and his army were just standing in the front, and the real main force was behind.And that was also a Wei army, led by Cao Chong and Guo Jia.

At the reception banquet, after drinking for three rounds, Gongsun Dan paid another respect to Xu Rong and said after drinking, "Brother Xu Rong, it's great that you came this time. Now the county guard of a certain area is almost in name only. If we lose this Liekou City again, we can only cross the sea to Qingzhou, and lead this Daifang Commandery far away."

Xu Rong put a piece of beef in his mouth and asked: "Why do you say that?" In fact, he already knew the situation of the leader, but he still pretended to ask this question.

"Brother Xu, I don't know. Brother, although I still lead the post of Fang Taishou, but now I actually only rule this city and one place. The Sanhan in the south has long been disobedient, and Hu Qi who is going south... Uh, this is not about the Hu Qi under the command of the Daliang Beifu Army. It refers to those wild Hu Qi from Dongyi who went south and occupied a large area of ​​land as their pasture. Now the Puppet Wei Can Army has occupied Nanxin City again. Fortunately, The Daliang Heavenly Army is about to gather to lead the army, and when Cao Chong and Guo Jia's troops arrive, Daliang can sweep the leader and then attack Lelang. Take back the two counties in Haidong."

Xu Rong took a sip of wine, cleared his throat, and said, "Brother Gongsun misunderstood. Cao Chong and Guo Jia didn't come here to take over the leader, they just came to wipe out Cao Pi's fake Wei remnants. Moreover, Cao Pi didn't come here to bring Fang Lelang This."

Gongsun Dan was surprised and said: "Isn't it to bring Fang Lelang? Could it be that Cao Pi wanted to occupy the land of Sanhan? No wonder the scouts came to report that in addition to looting everywhere, they also sent boats southward many times."

Xu Rong shook his head and said, "They are not going to Sanhan, but to Yingzhou."

"What Yingzhou?" Of course, Gongsun Dan didn't know that the place where the Japanese gathered was called Yingzhou within Daliang.

"It's the big island in the southeast, where the Japanese gather!"

When Xu Rong said this, Gongsun Dan suddenly understood, and hurriedly said: "Then it is better to take advantage of Cao Pi's time to escape, surround Nanxin City, and wipe them out in one fell swoop. This will save you the trouble of running so far to chase them. This can also be done smoothly." Let's use this army to put down the leader."

Xu Rong sighed again: "Cao Pi must have been here for several months. Their main force should have left Dai Fang long ago, and went to Yingzhou along the coastline. So Cao Pi will not stay in Dai Fang to calm the chaos. The Holy Majesty also He was not given this task."

Looking at Gongsun Dan's disappointed expression, Xu Rong said again: "Although Cao Pi's army will not stay here, the Holy One will still send troops to help Le Lang and lead the second county of Fang to quell the chaos."

Unexpectedly, when Gongsun Dan heard this, the expression on his face became even more complicated, and he said in a creaking voice: "Could it be..., Could it be that the Beifu army stationed in Xuantu County, Liaodong, is now coming..."

Xu Rong immediately knew what he was worried about. Gongsun Dan must have been afraid that after the Hu cavalry under the command of the Beifu army invaded the county, they would burn, kill and loot according to the traditional habit.

Xu Rong repeatedly waved his hands to dispel his worries and said: "Brother Gongsun, you don't have to worry. The Holy Majesty knows what will happen when the Beifu army goes south. So not only will he not use the Beifu army to take over Pingding Daifang and Lelang two counties. Even Liaodong, Xuan The second county of Tu will also take over from the Beifu army soon, and let the Beifu army retreat to the north of Heishui. The sage will send another army to lead the party and pacify the second county with a certain way. In addition to the second county, the south will also be The land of the Three Hans is included in our Daliang territory."

Only then did Gongsun Dan feel relieved, and asked again: "Dare to ask, brother, how many troops does this legion have?"

"Not many, generally between [-] and [-] soldiers."

Chapter 709

When he heard that Liang Jun had only 8000 to [-] troops in one legion, Gongsun Dan asked again with a suspicious expression: "Brother Xu, I doubt the combat power of Liang Jun not because of my brother. You two legions have [-] to [-] troops." It won't be a big problem to pacify the two counties, but we still have to go to Sanhan. The soldiers and horses are a little less. You know, since the time of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains court has always had the idea of ​​fighting Sanhan. , but it has been too long to attribute it to Wang Hua, why? These Han barbarians are not easy to subdue. At most, they can be controlled by our county on the surface, but it is difficult to directly organize them as the governor of the county. Point. If it is really that easy, so many emperors in the previous dynasty have already done this.”

Xu Rong laughed and said: "Our soldiers in the Liang Army can be used as a hundred. Moreover, our Daliang is not as good as Qin and Han, and has developed navigation skills. This can provide sufficient support for the front line through sea routes. It is not like in the past. , we can only carry out the southern expedition from the bitter cold and mountainous Liaodong. In the end, we can recruit troops and expand the army in the four counties of Liaodong. So brother, you can rest assured. Our two legions of the Liang army are enough to complete this matter."

When Gongsun Dan stroked his beard and dismissed it, someone sent soldiers into the mansion to report: "Report to the prefect, the king of Shouji, the chief enemy of Shouji, sent a message, saying that the prefect said that the Wei army's attack had not happened for a long time, so we must Terminate the agreement."

Gongsun Dan was only slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then said indifferently: "In this case, let's terminate the contract. In addition, take out 500 taels of gold ingots and ask someone to bring them back to King Qiushou, and send a message to King Qiushou .This time I thanked him a lot, and gave him five hundred gold as a small thank you. Since then, the two have not owed each other, and each of them will go their own way on the Yangguan Road."

When Gongsun Dan said this, he was actually speaking to Xu Rong, and at the same time he also made himself clear.Because Xu Rong was sent by Feng Yu to pacify the leader and subdue Sanhan, sooner or later he would fight Baekje.

After the soldiers left, Xu Rong asked, "What kind of country is this Baekje? Who is King Qiushou?"

Gongsun Dan said: "Hey, this Baekje country is not a country. In fact, it is a tribal clan occupying several cities, similar to the ancient Fang country in the pre-Zhou period. It belongs to one of the 54 countries of Mahan, but it is different from other countries. The Mahan tribe is different. Because his royal family and nobles are Fuyu people, they went south more than two hundred years ago and established themselves here. First, the country was named Shiji, and then conquered several Mahan indigenous tribes, and their wings gradually flourished. Get up, and then change the name of the country to Baekje. This King Choushou is their current lord Fuyu Choushou. But they are the largest country among the 54 countries of Ma and Han, and they are also the country with the most soldiers and wealth."

Xu Rong nodded and said: "According to the etiquette system, these Han and Yi kingdoms should be approved and canonized by the emperor, otherwise it is an act of arrogance and rebellion. But in the future, they don't have to be so troublesome, because all the regions of Sanhan will be ruled." Daliang is the ruler of the prefectures and counties. However, their presumptuous behavior is the reason for our Daliang Heavenly Army to conquer them in the future."

When Gongsun Dan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then what brother Xu plans to do?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Rong replied: "The matter in front of us is to pursue the remnant army of the puppet Wei and conquer Nanxin City. Cao Chong and Guo Jia's army will cross the sea in a few days, and the second legion sent by the Holy Spirit will also follow. Come on. Then we first pacify the two counties of Daifang Lelang, and after we have assembled our troops, we will then proceed to conquest of the Three Koreas." Speaking of this, Xu Rong thought of something again, and asked Gongsun Dan, "I don't know what to do with Fang Lelang now. The population size in Lang County, which is the population of Han people, is closely related to our future military expansion and conscription. Because they are the only people who are truly reliable and usable.”
