Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Zhang He's scouts used this close-range shooting method to bring down a group of Gaya soldiers.But then another wave of Gaya soldiers rushed up, and this time they had no time to shoot arrows.He could only throw the hand crossbow on the ground, drew out his weapon and went to meet it.But at the same time, another twenty or thirty Zhang He scouts climbed up the city wall and lowered more slings.

The two sides fought fiercely at the top of the city.A scout of Zhang He beheaded two enemy soldiers in a row, but did not notice a spear blade stabbing towards his back.But another scout who had just climbed up to the top of the wall saved his life. The latter took down the arrow-loaded crossbow, and used the cluster of arrows to place an arrow two feet away from the back of the spear-wielding enemy soldier's head. .The Gaya soldier fell to the ground without saying a word, and threw the spear in his hand far away.

Zhang He's scouts used one as three, using both weapons and crossbows, constantly killing and wounding Gaya's enemy soldiers.Originally, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the Gaya soldiers still had the upper hand.However, as more and more Zhang Yun soldiers climbed onto the city wall, and the number of Gaya defenders at the top of the city was limited, the Gaya soldiers below the city were too late to arrive, which eventually led to a reversal of the situation.

The Gaya soldiers with a large number of casualties began to flee to the city. Zhang Ying's army chased after them and killed a dozen soldiers at the city gate and opened the city gate.Nearly a hundred tigers and leopards who had been waiting outside the gate rode their horses and galloped into the city, heading towards the palace along the wide main street.

At this time, the streets were full of Gaya soldiers who heard the news and rushed to the top of the city for reinforcements.They did not expect the city gate to be opened so easily by the enemy.Caught off guard, they were knocked to the ground by the tiger and leopard iron cavalry one after another, and then trampled to pieces by the iron hooves.Immediately afterwards, a large number of Zhang Yun's infantry and even the Liang Jun sailors on the Viking ships rushed into the city like a tide.The torches in their hands gathered into a sea of ​​flames, spreading towards the streets and alleys.Some soldiers rushed to the top of the city along the stairs again, and captured the towers located at the four corners of the city wall.

In the palace, Jin Lushan was still sleeping soundly on the bed in the bedroom with Cao Pi's sister in his arms.The hustle and bustle outside the palace did not wake them up in the slightest.Suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door, and at the same time an urgent voice shouted: "My lord, wake up, the Liang army is attacking the city! My lord, wake up!"

Jin Lushan was finally awakened. He was about to curse angrily, but when he heard carefully that Liang Jun had entered the city, he sat up in shock, and at the same time his newly married princess also woke up. Pale and weeping.The two of them put on their clothes in a hurry, but they didn't know what to do next, and Jin Lushan walked around the room anxiously, but couldn't come up with any ideas.

At this time, a Gaya minister, that is, a confidant of Cui Minggao, broke into the palace and said eagerly to Jin Lushan: "My lord, Guning City has been broken, and the enemy army is coming to the palace. At this time, the king can only Retreat to the rest of the Gaya city lords first, to temporarily avoid the limelight."

Jin Lushan quickly responded: "That's the only way to go, hurry up and prepare the sedan chairs for the king and princess!"

The man immediately replied: "The sedan chair has been prepared a long time ago, and they are all waiting at the back door of the palace. Please hurry up and get on the road." The few people rushed to the palace under the escort of several Gaya guards. Go through the back door.

Jin Lushan and his party left the back gate of the palace, and rushed towards the east gate amidst the shouts of killing and flames all over the city.As long as they can get out of the city, they can reach the nearest Gaya city for more than [-] li to the east.But they were one step too late and could not escape from the city.When they arrived at the east gate, there were already more than a dozen tiger and leopard riders and more than a hundred Zhang Yun soldiers holding high torches on the street at the east gate, blocking the road to death.

Jin Lushan and his group hurriedly turned around, but the ten or so tiger and leopard riders had already chased them up, and chopped down the ten or so Gaya guards behind the hall without saying a word.The tiger and leopard riders shouted loudly at the same time: "Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who escape will be killed without mercy!"

Jin Lushan's remaining [-] or so guards didn't surrender, and they didn't dare to act rashly. They held weapons on alert with nervous expressions, and kept turning their heads to look at Jin Lushan.Jin Lushan tremblingly got off the sedan chair and said, "Don't do it, don't do it, I am Jin Lushan, the lord of the Gaya kingdom!" However, even Zhang Hebing couldn't understand his Gaya-accented Korean.His concubine is also Cao Pi's younger sister. Cao Chong's older sister once again revealed her identity in Chinese: "A certain is Cao Qiong, Princess Anyang of the Great Wei Dynasty. This is the husband of a certain, King Gaya. Don't do anything, we will obey you." Wait for the general to leave."

Chapter 781

The east gate of Guning City.Zhang He's soldiers heard that one of the couple who was intercepted by him was the princess of Wei State back then, and the other was the current king of Gaya State. They dared not neglect and rushed to report to Zhang He.On the other side, those twenty or so Gaya soldiers also dropped their weapons on the ground under Jin Lushan's command.

Zhang He had heard about this from the captives before, so he had to report immediately and came here through the battlefield in the city where the fighting was still going on.When he saw Princess Cao Qiong of Anyang, he jumped off his horse and saluted respectfully, "This is the former general of the Wei Kingdom, Zhang Yun. Please, sister Wang, go back to Tsushima Island with the general. The king of Wei is also there."

When Cao Qiong learned that it was Cao Chong's troops who came, she no longer panicked as before.However, due to the isolation of information, she knew little about Cao Chong.At first, Cao Pi's public information to the clan was that Cao Cao, Cao Chong and others were killed by Liang Jun in Nanyang.After a long time, I got new news that only Cao Cao died in the siege of Liang Jun, but under Guo Jia's instigation, Cao Chong and others defected and surrendered to Liang.As a result, Cao Pi designated Cao Chong, Guo Jia and others as rebellious ministers in his capacity as Emperor Wei.After that, there was no definite news about Cao Chong and others. Before that, Cao Qiong only heard that Liang Jun also started to conquer Sanhan, but she didn't know that Cao Chong was also among them. The system carries soldiers and horses.

So Cao Qiong put a lot of question marks on Zhang He's words, and immediately asked: "King Wei? Didn't Brother Chong already betray Wei and surrender to Liang with Guo Jia and you? Besides, why do you call someone Wang Sister? Instead of calling someone Princess Anyang?"

Zhang Yun had no choice but to start with Cao Cao's battle in Nanyang and continue to the present, telling Cao Qiong all the ins and outs.By the time he finished speaking, about an hour had passed.

At this time, the sound of fighting in the whole city had dissipated, and it became quieter.This is not because Zhang He's army captured and killed all the enemy troops in the city, but because Zhang He's soldiers escorted Jin Lushan's trusted ministers and guards, and conveyed Jin Lushan's surrender order.Those Gaya soldiers were already on the verge of collapse. When they heard the news, they naturally put down their weapons and surrendered to Zhang Yun's army.

Cao Qiong heard Zhang Yun's words, and still said calmly: "So that's the case. But it doesn't matter if you are a princess or a sister, anyway, you have married the Lord of the Gaya Kingdom. Chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. I don’t want to meddle in the affairs between the two brothers. From now on, our Gaya country will ignore the disputes and wars between them. It’s also inconvenient for me to visit my younger brother. You just care Lead the soldiers back and rescue them."

Although Jin Lushan could not speak Chinese fluently, he could understand Chinese, especially Cao Qiong's accent.He immediately echoed in simple and blunt Korean: "Exactly, this king will never interfere in Wei's internal affairs again!"

Zhang He smiled dumbly, and said to Cao Qiong: "Sister Wang, and King Gaya! You still don't understand what I just said. King Wei is not the King Wei of the past, nor is the State of Wei the same as before. The current state of Wei is a vassal state under the rule of Daliang. It has been placed under the jurisdiction of Dongqing Prefecture by Liang Jun. Therefore, it is impossible for your Gaya Kingdom to exist in this Haidong Peninsula."

Cao Qiong frowned and said, "But brother Chong is still under the flag of Wei, he still has his own army, why should he listen to Liang Guo's words like this. Talk to my younger brother, I believe he will agree with someone's opinion. You will leave King Gaya here, and he will still be in charge of Gaya's government affairs. Gaya will no longer be an enemy of you. To tell you the truth, this Since the princess left Yecheng, she had been wandering for half a year before settling down in this country of Gaya. Although this is a foreign country in Gaya, life is settled after all, and there is also the courtesy of a prince. This princess really doesn't want to go to eat again. It's just bitter to be displaced."

When Zhang He heard this, his face became ugly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Sister Wang, you don't want me to be in trouble." Cao Qiong's plump face was sullen, and when the princess was about to lose her temper, there was something Zhang Yun's soldiers came to report: "General Qi, a large number of soldiers were found in the north of the city!"

Zhang He was startled, and asked the trembling golden thread, "Are there any armors near you?"

Jin Lushan quickly waved his hand in denial.Zhang Xi asked again: "Then the soldiers and horses from the rest of the Gaya state came to rescue." This time, a courtier of Jin Lushan replied: "Impossible. Since the ancestor passed away, this has been in name. Not to mention that they will take the initiative to help, even if they ask for reinforcements, they may not come."

When Zhang He was wondering, more military information came.Another commanding soldier ran to Zhang Yun and reported: "Report! The army that came is Zhang Liao's troops of the Liang Army. They have pacified Ma Han and Bian Han, and they started to march south three days ago. Today they just happened to come to capture Guning They are from the city, so they bumped into us here. They have already arrived outside the north city gate."

Zhang He was overjoyed and said, "That's great, it turns out that Zhang Liao is here, and I don't know what to do with this Gaya country."

Then he turned around and winked at the soldiers and said, "Stay here, so that you can protect sister Wang and King Gaya." After finishing speaking, he left Cao Qiong and Jin Lushan under the guard of the soldiers, and he strode forward Go to the north gate.

Before Zhang He reached the North City Gate, he met Zhang Liao head-on on the street in the city.The two chatted while walking, first they exchanged pleasantries for a while, then they talked about business, and told each other about their recent encounters.After talking and talking, when it came to Cao Qiong, Zhang He frowned and said: "This so-called princess really doesn't know what to do with him. If she and King Gaya are taken away by force, I don't know how to explain to King Wei, but I really will If they stay here, they have violated the laws of Daliang and the will of the emperor. They will never dare in the end."

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Brother Junyi, there is no need to worry. Let someone handle this matter. The princess is not afraid of you, but she will definitely be afraid of Liang Jun." He paused, and then confessed to Zhang Yun: "When you meet them later, you will pretend that you don't want to be so familiar with a certain brother and call you brothers and sisters, but you want to behave in a serious manner."

After a while, they came to Cao Qiong and Jin Sushan again.Zhang He stood behind Zhang Liao respectfully with his hands down.The soldiers of the Wei Army also withdrew, leaving only the soldiers of the Liang Army and Jin Lushan on the scene.Cao Qiong and Jin Lushan showed panic again on their faces.

Chapter 782

Cao Qiong, Jin Lushan and others stole glances at Zhang Liao's soldiers.Under the light of the fire, it was found that they were all cavalry in heavy armor, both men and horses.These iron cavalry were a few feet taller than Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry, and the backs of the war horses were higher than ordinary people. They were as tall as Zhang Yu, and they watched them like giant beasts in the night.

At this time, Zhang Liao had already started speaking, and asked Jin Lushan directly: "Are you King Gaya?" The latter replied tremblingly: "It is Xiao Wang."

Zhang Liao sneered repeatedly: "Is it the king's ministers in the whole world, and the king's land on the shore of the land. This Haidong Peninsula has been completely placed under our Liangdong Qingzhou, and the ex-existing Huawaibang Ruotian has no other arrangements. Except for enfeoffment, the country will be removed from everything, and the ruler will be demoted to a commoner."

After hearing this, Jin Lushan uttered a dejected jiliwala, and the interpreter translated it again. Zhang Liaofang knew that the general meaning was that he was willing to listen to Liang Jun.Zhang Liao still sneered and said: "And you are not just being demoted as a useless person. Because you colluded with the puppet Wei army and attacked the imperial navy and the army of the Wei State, so the crime should be copied and beheaded. Come on, take Jin Lu Shanji's wife and children were taken to the execution ground and beheaded for public display!"

The soldiers behind Zhang Liao agreed in unison, rushing forward to take Jin Lushan and Cao Qiong.When Cao Qiong heard this, she was terrified, and cried out: "You can't kill XX, who is the sister of Wei Wang Cao Chong, and General Zhang Yun is the evidence for this."

Zhang Liao made a gesture to tell the soldiers to stop for the time being.Then, he asked loudly: "Where is Zhang He!?" Zhang He ran out quickly, kowtowed to Zhang Liao, and said, "My servant Zhang He is here."

"This person is really the sister of Wei Wang Cao Chong!"

Zhang He responded immediately: "The general said before the meeting, this person is the sister of the king who is going down to the kingdom."

Zhang Liao said to Cao Qiong with a serious expression: "Da Liang Law, the prince's crime is the same as that of the people, let alone the sister of a feudal prince. But for the sake of King Wei, I will spare your life." Turning his head to those soldiers, he said, "Then Jin Lushan will kill Zhengfa alone, and Cao Qiong will be brought back to King Wei by Zhang Yun."

All the soldiers continued to escort that Jin Lushan to an open field, and some soldiers drew out their sharp waist knives, waiting for Zhang Liao's order, they would cut off Jin Lushan's head.

At this time, Jin Sushan had already started begging for mercy like a pig being slaughtered.Cao Qiong also knelt down in front of Zhang Liao's mount, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said, "I beg the general of the country to be merciful. After he dies, I will become a widow. I am still pregnant with a child. How should I spend the rest of my life?" Ah." Seeing that Zhang Liao didn't respond for a while, she begged Zhang He again: "General Zhang, for the sake of brother XX Chong, please forgive me."

Zhang Yun had no choice but to kowtow to Zhang Liao on one knee again: "I beg the former general to keep someone under his sword, maybe this golden thread goodness may be of some use."

"Oh, what's the use of hearing him?"

"Back to the former general, this Gaya country is actually composed of eight city-states, Fangguo. Now we have broken through the two cities of Jinguan and Guning. The other six cities still need to be quelled by our army. What does Jinlushan say? He is the co-lord of the eight Gaya kingdoms, so we might as well let him go and surrender the remaining six Gaya cities. With both grace and power, he might be able to get twice the result with half the effort and conquer the remaining six Gaya cities."

Zhang Liao nodded and said: "That's very good." Then he said kindly to Jin Lu: "If you can do this, I will spare you from death and send you to the king of Wei to settle down."

Jin Lushan, who was still in shock, thanked him a thousand times for his kindness, before he felt troubled in his heart.It is not easy for him to let the six countries voluntarily surrender to Liang Jun.One must know that he was not his great-grandfather's father, Kim Suro. The rulers of the other six countries only regarded him as the co-lord in name, and usually would not listen to his orders. How could he surrender to Liang Jun with just a few words.

Zhang He saw what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry, we will send troops to help you. As long as you do your best, even if you don't achieve much results, the former general will show you extra favors for your hard work." .”

Hearing this, Jin Lushan felt a little relieved.Early the next morning, Jin Lushan was led by Zhang Liao and Zhang Yun to the other six Gaya city-states.This time Zhang Liao brought nearly 4000 troops, and there were more than 7000 of Zhang Yun's nearly [-] troops.As for the six Gaya city-states, the population of each city-state is only tens of thousands of people, and the total number of young and old people will not exceed [-]. Therefore, such a large army is very deterrent to these Gaya city-states.

The closest of the six cities to Guning is only more than [-] miles away, and the farthest is only more than [-] miles away.Within two days, Liang Jun, who was marching mightily through the dense forests and mountains, surrendered one city-state after another.Of course, not all cities are waiting for the wind. At first, two city-states resisted desperately, but Liang Jun relied on his strong combat power to use the standard siege paradigm-the ballista bombs to cover the top of the city, and the infantry climbed the city. The heavy cavalry poured in and quickly conquered these two cities.When attacking the third city, the surviving Gaya kingdoms had already united hastily and provided some reinforcements to the city, but it was still easily breached by the Liang army, and another head of the Gaya king was picked out. On the tip of Liang Jun's spear.After that, it was much easier, Jin Sushan's words made the three city-state lords leave the city and surrender.

It is no wonder that the three lords all know that the Three Hans have been wiped out by the Liang Army and the two Hans have been wiped out, and the weakest Gaya Kingdom has also been wiped out by the Liang Army.If they continue to resist the Liang army with this small area of ​​tens of miles and thousands of soldiers, it will be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.In addition, Jin Lushan personally persuaded them to surrender, and Zhang Liao gave them very generous conditions, promising to move them and their families to Lelang in the north and the second county of Liaodong, and expressing that they were granted the titles of Township and Tinghou by the imperial court.So they opened the door to surrender without much hesitation.

Although they can no longer be the kings who can control the absolute power of one party, they can enjoy the annual income of the fief.It's just that Jin Sushan and Cao Qiong will still be handed over to Cao Chong. Presumably, after Cao Chong is firmly established in Yingzhou, he will seal them as a marquis in the territory under his jurisdiction to support them for the rest of their lives.

When Erzhang completely pacified Gaya, Party A of Xu Chu's five thousand soldiers came from the Bumi area in the west. I resent the difficult mountain roads in this area.

After Zhang Liao made some deployments, the Liang Wei army with tens of thousands of troops turned back to Jinguan City again.At this time, those Gaya people are working day and night to repair the ruined city.Gaya had just recovered. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, Zhang Liao did not make them work for nothing by servitude, but gave each of them half a year's ration as a reward.

Two days later, after all arrangements were made, Zhang He and Xu Zhu bid farewell to Zhang Liao, and left Jinguan City on Wei Wen's boat.So far, the entire Haidong Peninsula has been incorporated into the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Daliang.

Chapter 783 Kyushu

After a heavy rain in summer, on the coast of Kyushu Island, several fishermen are casting nets in the shallow water on the beach to catch fish.There can't be any big fish on this shallow beach, and the biggest fish caught is only two feet long.

The clothes on them are also very strange, that is, a whole piece of burlap is sewn into a sack-like thing, and then a hole is made at the bottom of the sack, and another hole is made on each side of the sack.In this way, a cover can be put on the body, and the head and two arms can be regarded as a piece of clothing.The lower body is tied into a T shape with a linen belt, and then covered with the hem of the linen jacket.

These people are the Japanese people living on this island of Kyushu in Yingzhou.The current Japanese civilization has entered the current Bronze Age from the Stone Age due to the influence and integration of a large number of "Dulai people" who migrated from the mainland.In addition to mastering farming and planting techniques and bronze casting, he also has his own language.Even so, the civilization of the Japanese is still very backward compared with the Haidong Peninsula in the north and the Jiangdong area of ​​Zhongtu in the west.It is not even common for their fishermen to own boats, and middle-earth clothing or other higher-class utensils are only available to the nobles.

The name of Kyushu was also named by "Dulai people", obviously because they came from the mainland that Kyushu refers to.Among the three major islands in Yingzhou, Kyushu is the closest to the civilization of China. Therefore, for several centuries, the national power of the Japanese countries here has generally developed faster than the rest of the Japanese countries.

Among them, the most powerful is the Gonu Kingdom located in the southwest of the Kyushu Sea.It almost annexed most of Kyushu and controlled the entire south and west of Kyushu Island.Only the northeast corner of Kyushu is occupied by another small Wa country called Nu Country.And the reason why this slave country can compete with the powerful dog slave country is because it has already belonged to a more powerful Fang country named Yamatai.

Yamatai is located in the Yamato Basin in the southwest of Honshu Island.Although its geographical location is not as close as Kyushu to the Middle Earth and the Central Plains, it is a Japanese country near the sea, and it has the largest plain among all the current Japanese countries---Yamato Basin. The farming technology imported by the "Dulai people" has fully demonstrated the advantages of Yamatai.This advantage also makes the plain basin where Yamatai is located is called Yamato by Japanese.Dahe is the homonym of Dahe, which means that the seedlings planted on this plain are very luxuriant.

Of course, the Sunu Kingdom and Huyi Kingdom in the northeast of Honshu Island have more extensive and fertile plains.But these two countries are in the east of Guanyuan, which is actually the territory of Ezo, and strictly speaking, it is not yet one of the Japanese countries.Although both the Japanese and the Yezo are natives of Yingzhou, the biggest difference is that the former has a lot of "dulai people" in their blood.

In addition, Yamatai also has a relatively safe sea route---the inland sea between Honshu and Shikoku.From this relatively calm sea route, it can directly lead to Kyushu Island, so its communication with the mainland civilization is not inferior to that of the dog slave country.

At that moment, one of the Japanese fishermen straightened up and stretched, and suddenly saw several boats quietly appearing on the distant sea.These ships are obviously much larger and more sophisticated than the ships they have seen in the past.He yelled and exclaimed: "Look, where are there so many big ships!"

Everyone straightened up one after another, and when they looked around, the oddly shaped ships were within a hundred battles of them.It was seven or eight large Viking ships from Wei Wen's fleet that came.

The Viking ship was fully loaded with the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei army and part of the Liang army scouts who supported them.Their mission to Kyushu this time is to find out the details of Cao Pi's army in Yingzhou and the location of the main force of Cao Pi's army.

But the Japanese fishermen on the beach began to talk about it, and one of them said: "Is it because Gou Gu Zhibei and Gou came back with soldiers and horses?"

"Nonsense, how could it be the soldiers and horses of the dog slave country. We have all settled down in the dog slave country, don't we know that the dog slave country does not have such ships at all? So they cannot be the ships of the dog slave country. "

"That's Yamatai's ship."

"Impossible! Don't worry about it so much, let's run for our lives and report to the adults in the town."

When everyone heard this, there was no one who disagreed.They immediately collected the fishing nets and the boats that had been caught, hurried ashore, and then rushed to the village where they lived.However, before they had walked out of fifty battles, they heard the sound of thunder running like Xia Ri.Some of them looked up to the sky, but the sun was shining brightly in the sky, without a cloud, how could there be the sound of rolling thunder?And besides the sound of rolling thunder, the ground under the feet seemed to be trembling slightly.

It's not that these Japanese people have never seen horses, but they have never seen the scene of nearly thirty cavalry galloping at the same time.Only two or three times in their lives did they see the horse on which their doctor traveled.One of the Japanese turned his head to look at it, and exclaimed loudly.Because he found that dozens of tall horses were chasing them in a row.

All the Japanese turned their heads to look one after another, their faces pale with fright.Instead of speeding up, their running speed slowed down a lot because their legs were so frightened.The tiger and leopard riders on the war horses yelled loudly, but unfortunately these Japanese people couldn't understand, they were still rolling and crawling, staggering and running.Several tiger and leopard horses accelerated and passed in front of them, stopped in front of them and shouted loudly: "If you run again, you will start killing!" Then several cavalry guns were projected at the feet of these Japanese fishermen.Only now did these Japanese people understand the other party's intentions, their knees softened and they fell to the ground, bowing and begging non-stop.

Then another person came galloping on horseback. He was a Gaya Korean interpreter recruited by the Wei army. He said to these Japanese in Japanese: "Don't panic, we are the army from Daliang. According to the king's decree, the king of Wei in our country of Wei will be in Yingzhou, which is your country. In the future, your Kyushu and the four countries in the east will be the land of Wei under the rule of Daliang. Now we will When you are brought to Tsushima Island, our King Wei and his generals and ministers have something to ask you."

At present, the Japanese have no concept of the emperor, nor do they know that Yingzhou is the name given to these islands by Feng Yu, so the general translation is very blunt.These Japanese can understand eight out of ten sentences. When they knew that the other party was going to take them away from their hometown and send them to Tsushima Island in the sea hundreds of miles away, they all burst into tears, thinking that they would never come back again. up.

The interpreter quickly said: "Don't worry, as long as you finish your questioning, you will be released and rewarded." Then, with a wink, several burly men who were riding tigers and leopards jumped off their horses, and they couldn't help saying this Several Japanese tied them up, put them on horseback and sent them back to the boat.Then these dozens of tiger and leopard riders once again whipped their horses and rushed towards the hinterland of Kyushu Island.

Chapter 784 Unidentified Soldiers and Horses

Between the two islands of Kyushu and Honshu in Yingzhou, there is only a strait that is less than a hundred battles at the narrowest point and no more than nine miles long.This strait is the land hub connecting Kyushu to Honshu, and it is also the throat of the Seto Inland Sea, which is surrounded by Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, to the outer sea.So the slave country built a castle here, named Xiaguan.Appoint a doctor to deploy [-] soldiers to guard it, and he has jurisdiction over five towns.

A team of more than [-] slave soldiers was patrolling along the coast of the Xiaguan Strait against the sun.These soldiers wore armor made of bamboo splinters, and most of them carried short spears made of bronze in their hands, and their shields were square shields nailed from several wooden boards.A few hold spears, the tips of which appear to be wrought iron.Among them were a few crossbowmen with bamboo bows on their shoulders.

The leader at the head suddenly stopped, and dozens of other people also stopped quickly.The leader then asked, "Did you hear anything?"

The soldiers under him looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why he asked this question.But immediately these soldiers understood the meaning of his words, because they also vaguely heard a sound like rolling thunder.The leader said to himself: "Is it going to rain again? But the weather is very clear, and it doesn't seem to be thunder." Immediately afterwards, they all felt the ground under their feet tremble slightly.

Then they saw more than twenty war cavalry rising from the opposite slope.This is a tiger and leopard ride from Tsushima Island.It's just that these slave soldiers saw this scene, instead of panicking, they breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought that it was Cao Pi's troops who came, but now Cao Pi is an ally of Yamatai, and even Cao Pi is the suzerain of Yamatai in name, because Yamatai's envoy visited Cao Cao, the emperor of Wei Dynasty, on a pilgrimage.

At present, Queen Himiko of Yamatai ordered the slave kingdom to cooperate with Cao Pi's army to attack the dog slave kingdom.At that time, when Cao Pi's army was on the border, wherever the Japanese people passed by, they would attract countless Japanese people to watch.So these soldiers of the slave country have also seen these tiger and leopard riders.It's just that the costumes of these tiger and leopard riders in front of them seem to be a little different from those of the tiger and leopard riders they have seen before.But they didn't care, and no one would have thought that this was an enemy army.

More than twenty tiger and leopard riders saw these Japanese soldiers holding swords and guns, but their eyes showed joy.One of them said to the leading general: "Damn, we drove for a long day and a night, and finally met a group of people with knives and guns. The prisoners before were all civilian slaves, and we haven't caught any officials or soldiers yet." After taking them back, we will definitely be able to get valuable things out of their mouths, and we may even ask about the whereabouts of the main force of Cao Pi’s army.”

The leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry nodded, waved his hand and said: "Come on, brothers." Immediately, more than [-] cavalry scattered and surrounded the Japanese soldiers from the slave country.It was only at this time that these slave soldiers realized that something was wrong. The leader shouted in Japanese: "You are the Wei army, right? Shouldn't you be on the front line to conquer the dog slave country? How did you come here?"

He babbled, but no one paid any attention to him, but one of the opponent's cavalry shouted in Japanese, to the effect that they put down their weapons and bowed their heads to surrender.Only then did the soldiers of the slave country know the hostility of the other party, and it was very likely that they were not the soldiers of the Wei army they had seen before.

The leader yelled loudly, and drew out his saber. This saber was no different from the weapons of the Gaya people, and it was made of iron.The soldiers behind him also raised their weapons and wooden shields.

Seeing this, several tiger and leopard riders suddenly accelerated and charged up.Before these slave soldiers could react, the cavalry pierced through the crowd of more than fifty people.At the same time, seven or eight slave soldiers were pierced by the tiger and leopard cavalry's lances, and several of them were pierced by the spears with their shields and men.There were more than a dozen slave soldiers who were knocked to the ground by the iron cavalry, and most of the corpses were trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The leader was lucky enough to survive, but he was so frightened that he threw off his legs and ran, shouting loudly at the same time: "Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!" The rest of the slave soldiers also ran back in panic.But how could these tiger and leopard riders give them a chance, they had already pulled out their sabers and chased after them, almost beheading these slave soldiers one by one.

A slave soldier saw a horse galloping towards him, but the knight riding a tiger and leopard did not slash his saber at him, but slashed at another slave soldier on the other side.So he mustered up his courage and slashed at the opponent's horse with the bronze dagger in his hand.With a muffled bang, the short dagger struck the horse's breastplate, but it failed to cut into the horse's body, and instead fell out under the momentum of the horse.Then, the slave soldier was instantly knocked to the ground by another tiger and leopard rider behind him, and was trampled to a pulp.

Under the pressure of the tiger and leopard cavalry, in less than half a moment, most of these Japanese soldiers were killed and injured, and the rest of them were out of their wits.Some yelled and continued to run, some dropped their weapons in fright, squatted on the ground, covered their heads with their hands, and mumbled words in their mouths.In the end, the fleeing ones were beheaded by the tiger and leopard riders, and the rest were captured.

In Xiaguan Fort, Bi Nahu, a senior official of the slave country, was listening to the news reported by the various towns under his command with a frowning expression.This town is a village with a certain population.In terms of level, it is similar to the township of the Central Plains imperial court, but in fact the population is not as large as that of Yiting.In the past two or three days, people in the town under the jurisdiction of Xiaguan have been captured by unknown soldiers and horses.Among them were civilians, slaves, and even adults like the town lord.

Listening to the report, Binahu had already turned his head a few times, guessing who these warriors might be.Could it be that those Wei Jun turned their faces and wanted to seize his slave country?But this is impossible. Didn’t the original Wei people make an agreement with Yamatai Queen Himiko that Yamatai and its vassals would raise food and grass for them, and they would destroy Yamatai’s old enemy Gou Nu, and then Revitalize the Great Wei on the land of the Dog Nu Kingdom, and wait for the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains in the future.Even if they don't keep their promises, at least they should attack Yamatai and its subordinate countries after destroying the Gonu country.But now, according to Binahu's knowledge, after these Wei soldiers captured two castles on the northern coast of Kyushu, they built a city there and opened up wasteland, saying that they wanted to lay the foundation before they could continue to conquer the Gou Nu Kingdom.Therefore, it is impossible for these Wei troops to destroy the dog slave country in the short term.

Bi Nahu was startled suddenly, and couldn't help shouting: "Could it be that the Great Liang of Zhongtu went on an expedition across the sea!?" At this time, another soldier ran into the lobby and shouted: "Report to the doctor, something is wrong, we are here! A group of patrolling soldiers on the coast was attacked by unknown soldiers and horses, and the entire army was wiped out!"

Chapter 785 Sue Town

When the summer sun was shining brightly, a large number of slave country postmen galloped out of Xiaguan Fort.Strictly speaking, it cannot be said that they came out on flying horses, because some of them went to deliver the message by running on foot.There are not so many war horses in Binahu's Xiaguan Fort.Some of these messenger postmen crossed the Xiaguan Strait to report to Yamatai eight hundred miles away, some sent letters to the slave country Dawanan Nuxi, and some reported to Cao Pi's camp.

……

A place called Sue Town on the north coast of Kyushu Island is now full of camps.The bay not far away was full of large and small warships.This is where Cao Pi's main force is stationed.

Thousands of peasants and soldiers are building a new city around a castle.Except for the thousands of strong men brought by Cao Pi from the Central Plains, the rest of these civilian husbands were provided by the slave country. Most of them were slaves, and a small part of them were householders.At present, the city seems to be close to completion.

This Suhui Town was originally the territory occupied by the Gonu Kingdom in northern Kyushu after annexing other Wa countries.But after Cao Pi's army landed in Kyushu and got in touch with Yamatai to form an alliance, they quickly occupied this place and another castle not far away, and then began to expand the city, intending to use it as the base camp for conquering the Gonu Kingdom.

The reason why Cao Pi and Sima Yi only chose Sue Town is because it is connected to the Gonu State-owned Plain in the south of Kyushu by a smooth road.Like other places in Yingzhou, most of Kyushu is mountainous. Only a small piece of plain in the south is occupied by the Gonu Kingdom. This piece of plain extends along the river valley to the north, and a small area on the north coast is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The basins facing the sea are connected.And Sue Town is in this small basin by the sea.

At this time, Cao Pi, Sima Yi and many soldiers were discussing military affairs and state affairs in the big tent of the Chinese army.The strategy against the Liang Army on Tsushima Island did not achieve much success. Cao Chun's surprise attack on Tsushima Island was calculated by the Liang Army, and the news that the Liang Army and Cao Chongjun were wiped out incidentally also spread here.Cao Pi sighed and cursed Feng Yu and Cao Chong.

Sima Yi was silent for a while, and waited until Cao Pi had almost finished his performance before he said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the enemy army on Mashima Island has gained power for a while, it is unlikely that they will cross the sea to attack in the near future, because the risk is too great for them. They don't know the situation on Kyushu Island, and they are worried that they will be besieged by our side after landing, and they will not be able to get timely follow-up support, and they may fall into a desperate situation."

Cao Pi shook his head and said: "But they are going to fight. I knew they were so hot after me. Why did I come to Yingzhou where there are mountains and seas everywhere, and the people can't even build a house. How about Just stick to a corner in Laizhou, and one day is considered as one day spent..."

When Sima Yi heard this, his face darkened and he said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Your Majesty shoulders the burden of reviving the Great Wei. How can you give up on yourself like this. In Donglai, we can't defend against the attack of hundreds of thousands of Liang troops. But Here, how many soldiers and horses can Liang Jun come? Feng Yu sent Cao Chong, the rebel from the Wei Dynasty, and others as pawns, which is enough to show that he also knows that it is not feasible to conquer Yingzhou with all the soldiers. So Our Wei army is very sure to drive Liang Jun out, as long as Liang Jun is kept out, the Japanese in Yingzhou..., Your Majesty, you have also seen that they are vulnerable to our Wei army, so my great Wei unified Yingzhou The three islands are a matter of time. These three big islands have a population of one million, and the area is equivalent to several states in the Central Plains. Only with them can we..."

Seeing Sima Yi's endless harangue, Cao Pi quickly interrupted him and asked, "General, I know all of this, let's talk about the key point, how can we stop Liang Jun from killing us all and let them die?" Compete with us for Yingzhou's mind."

Only then did Sima Yi solemnly say: "I estimate that they will have to wait until autumn at least to land in Kyushu. Because according to the report of the scouts who visited the horse before, they are also cultivating and building cities on Tsushima Island, and they will not be able to harvest food until autumn. , cannot build a city.”

Cao Pi spread his hands and said, "It will be three or four months."

Sima Yi sneered and said: "But our city is almost completed, and we can go south as planned in just a few months, and it will be easy to defeat the Gonu Kingdom. Then we will turn around and join forces with Yamatai to land The Liang Jun and Cao Chong bandit army attacked head-on, and then chased them out of Tsushima Island, so that they would no longer have the opportunity to covet Yingzhou. Finally, we sent our troops eastward, attacked Xiematai, and unified the three islands of Yingzhou. Revive the Great Wei for us, and once again aspire to the foundation of the Central Plains."

At the end of Sima Yi's speech, everyone in the big tent became emotional.Even Cao Chong, who was already decadent at this time and only wanted to enjoy the rest of his life as an emperor, his eyes lit up.At this time, some guards ordered soldiers to break into the big tent and reported to Cao Pi: "Report to Your Majesty, the slave country Xiaguan Fort sent a messenger over, saying that there is an urgent military situation to inform our army."
