The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Lu Bu arranged for Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, and Xun You to serve in Qingzhou. Tian Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, and Tian Kai, the Sima of Qingzhou, were both descendants of the Tian family in Hebei.

Lu Bu's strategy for dealing with gentry and big clans was to cultivate and support new gentry in Bingzhou and Youzhou, and move the old gentry to Qingzhou. In Jizhou, the two coexisted. However, with Lu Bu personally in charge of Jizhou, those dissatisfied gentry could not rise. What a storm.

The battle report from the south came, and it had been half a year since Wei Yan's campaign in Jiaozhou. It was already summer, and the heat in Lingnan was unbearable. Many soldiers fainted from heatstroke and were unable to continue fighting. Wei Yan had no choice but to order the release of Shi Hui and Shi Di, and give up Jiaozhi County in exchange for summer relief supplies with Shi Xie.

Shixie integrated soldiers from the four vassal states of Siam (Thailand), Funan (Cambodia), Annan (Vietnam), and Luzon (Philippines), and conducted intensive training in Jiaozhi County to drive out Wei Yan's army after the summer. Jiaozhou.

In the battle report, Wei Yan explained his difficulties. After all, the weather was still an insurmountable factor in this era. Lu Bu did not criticize too much in his reply. He decided to use the chess pieces he had laid out in Jiangdong. The 20,000 pieces were broken into pieces. army.

Lu Bu found Lu Weihuang and asked him to play his identity and go south to Jiangdong to find Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. He also asked Shi A to gather 20,000 troops scattered in Jiangdong and go to Jiaozhou for support. After completing the mission, Lu Weihuang went to Xuzhou to wait for an opportunity. And move.

As for the land of Jiangdong, Lu Bu's idea is to let Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun fight against each other. They only have those resources, but there are three factions. The best result is to let them die due to internal strife.

Another two months later, Shi A arrived at Xiangjun, Jiaozhou with an army of 20,000, and joined Wei Yan's army of 10,000. According to Lu Bu's instructions, Wei Yan was the commander-in-chief of the pacification of Jiaozhou. Shi A, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang , Huang Gai, and Han Dang were all assigned and commanded by Wei Yan.

Wei Yan looked at Lu Bu's letter. In the letter, he not only wanted to capture Jiaozhou, but also wanted to capture the four vassal states south of Jiaozhou. This put Wei Yan in trouble. Retaking Jiaozhi County was only a matter of seconds. , but if we continue to advance southward, we will face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. Although these four countries are nominally vassal states of the Han Dynasty, once they face national subjugation and annihilation, rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone four countries. .

Wei Yan had never experienced a war to pacify foreign tribes, and he did not understand the huge gap between the combat power of these foreign armies and the Han army.

Shi A saw that the lights in Wei Yan's room were not extinguished, so he walked in. Seeing Wei Yan looking at the map with a frown on his face, Shi A asked, "Is the general worried about attacking Jiaozhi County?"

Wei Yan said: "Exactly, although there are 30,000 troops now, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Shi A was a little confused, "According to the previous intelligence collection, Jiaozhou Shixie had only 50,000 troops. He had been defeated by the general before, and now there are only 10,000 people left. Jiaozhi County is not a high-walled city, and it can be captured in a snap. , General, what worries do you have?"

Wei Yan said: "You don't know something. My lord wants to capture the four southeastern countries in addition to Jiaozhou."

Shi A said: "Could it be the four southeastern countries of Siam, Funan, Annam, and Luzon?"

Wei Yan replied: "Exactly, these four countries have established political power in the previous dynasty. They have a history of hundreds of years and a population of two to three million. We only have 30,000 people. We are like a mayfly shaking a tree. I wonder if your lord can send troops to me." ?”

Shi A shook his head, "I know my lord, he never does anything he is not sure about. I once heard Juzi say that when my lord faced Xianbei, he also defeated the many with less, and wiped out the Xianbei tribe, leaving only the Nanyi people. What's there to be afraid of?"

Wei Yan said: "My lord is a genius and a reincarnation of an overlord. We are ordinary soldiers and warriors. How can we compare with your lord?"

Shi A said: "My lord often says that as a general, you should not belittle yourself and have faith in your soldiers. Our Han army is an invincible army. These 30,000 people have never experienced a war in which the lord is fair to foreigners. I think what your lord means It is to make them become a tiger and wolf division like the Bingzhou Army."

Wei Yan suddenly realized, "So that's it. My lord has really good intentions. Chang Wen understands, but both Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are losers. Why did my lord let them come?"

Shi A said: "General, be careful. These two people have the same surname as my lord. I heard that my lord recognized these two as nephews, so they must have another purpose."

Wei Yan said: "I understand, my lord is worried that I have troops outside and it is difficult to control, so he sent these two nephews to the army."

Shi A smiled and said: "This is the master's method of controlling people. General, don't be suspicious, just fight a good battle."

Wei Yan said: "How dare I blame my lord? I just envy Gao Boping and Zhang Wenyuan. They lead more soldiers than me. My lord treats them with all his heart. It would be great if I could have such treatment."

Shi A said: "Those two generals have followed the lord for more than twenty years and are as close as brothers to the lord. How can we compare?"

Wei Yan sent Shi'a away and slept with his clothes on. His dreams were filled with scenes of his own battles on the battlefield.

On the third day of September in the eleventh year of Jian'an, Wei Yan took the oath in Xiang County. He stood on a high platform and said with majesty: "Soldiers, the time has come for us to make great achievements! The lord has an order to capture Jiaozhi County, wipe out the four southeastern countries, and steal money, Grab the land, grab the women.”

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Thirty thousand Han troops shouted in unison. They didn't know where the four southeastern countries were. They only knew that they could rob money, land, and women. This was the best incentive.

Shi Xie commanded the Allied Forces of the Four Nations to set up a battle array outside Jiaozhi County. The ragtag group of people numbered 200,000. However, compared with the well-equipped Han army, some of these ragtag groups were carrying hoes and wielding chopping tools. Hatchet.

When Wei Yan saw the enemy's equipment, he couldn't help laughing and said to the soldiers behind him: "In today's battle, we will defeat the enemy. Cut off Shi Xie's head and use it as a urinal. Come on!"

Wei Yan took the lead and rushed towards the enemy formation, while the 30,000 Han troops behind him also spread their legs and charged forward.

The Allied Forces of the Four Nations had never seen such an army before. They fought without fear of their lives. They ran back one after another and trampled on each other, killing countless people. Shi Xie was beheaded by Wei Yan, and Shi Hui and Shi Di were trampled to death by the rebel army.

This battle lasted for less than an hour and ended with a complete victory for the Han army. Wei Yan, who entered Jiaozhi County, did not rest and reorganize his army, but continued to encourage: "Go south, where there is gold, women, land, and food. Don't rest." , continue to charge and kill!" The Han troops were also gnawing on dry food and running forward tirelessly, as if they had been given blood.

On October 27, the 11th year of Jian'an, Wei Yan was sitting on the throne of the King of Siam. Kneeling below him were the kings of Siam, Funan, Annan, and Luzon. They only made a symbolic resistance and chose In order to give up, the Han army entered the capitals of the four countries and began killing and looting. These were all allowed by Lu Bu. He wanted to make every inch of land he conquered free from foreign resistance.

In accordance with Lu Buxin's instructions, Wei Yan demolished all the capitals of the Four Kingdoms, rebuilt cities and established counties on this land, and named it Southeast County. All the men of the Four Southeast Kingdoms were castrated and demoted to slaves to build cities and cultivate land, while women were all ordered to follow the instructions of Lu Buxin. The number of enemies killed is allocated to the Han army.

The Han began colonial rule in Southeast Asia.
