However, although Linyi County was taken back, the losses caused to Linyi County by the people of Funan Country were still very huge.

Because of the unscrupulous behavior of the remnants of the former dynasty of Linyi Kingdom and the barbarian behavior of the barbarians of Funan Kingdom, these towns close to the territory of the Cham people were originally not very populated, and now after several tosses, the population has become even more sparse.

Although the young and middle-aged people who were captured by the Funan people were rescued by Liu Zheng, the people who were killed by the soldiers of the Funan State before could not come back.

Thinking of these people who died for no reason, Liu Zheng became even more angry.

He asked Sun Jian to stay and re-stabilize all parts of Linyi County and appease the local people, while Liu Zheng himself carried A Guduo to lead Zhou Cang's 50,000 troops to pursue Fan Man, and at the same time began to attack Funan at all costs.

The distance from Linyi County to Funanguo is not too far, and the two places can even be said to be adjacent.

But because of the tropical monsoon climate here, Liu Zheng's march speed was not fast.

It's not that Liu Zheng doesn't want to be fast, it's that he can't be fast.

There are parts of spring, summer, autumn and winter, with only the rainy and dry seasons.

Although it is now the dry season, the temperature is not low, and the jungle is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, for the Central Plains people under Liu Zheng, it is almost difficult to get used to the climate, and the army under Zhou Cang is not from Jiaozhou, they are not used to living in this kind of place.

The slightest mosquito bite may lead to an outbreak of disease, and there is no decent road here, so Liu Zheng and the others can only grope their way forward in the jungle.

Although some locals led the way, they only took a few detours, and it was impossible to march quickly, and it took a long time to get to Funan.

Along the way, Liu Zheng mainly unified the scattered cottages of some Cham people who were originally scattered around here.

The Cham people, in fact, also have established a state, but their country is not united enough, there are no towns, most of them are small cottages, one by one, distributed in various areas on the southeast peninsula, and the number of people is only a few thousand.

In such a situation, it is easy to be invaded and attacked by the army of Funan, and finally occupied by the people of Funan.

This time, Fan Man and others attacked all the way from Funan, and on the way they also subdued many small tribes of the Cham people, and added many Cham people into their own army.

Anyway, Liu Zheng is also going to Funan this time, and his purpose is to unify the entire Southeast Peninsula and change this place into a new state and county.

Originally, Liu Zheng didn't want to spend a lot of time looking for the cottage of the Cham people, but with the leadership of A Guduo, Liu Zheng found a lot of Cham people's territory relatively easily.

Ah Guduo, this guy, when he followed Fan Man from Funan Kingdom before, he attacked a lot of Cham people's cottages here, but this time he had some impressions and could lead the way for Liu Zheng.

Two days later, they arrived at the Cham people, the only royal city of the Cham people.

The city of Zhan is considered to be a place where the Cham people gather in this area, and after Liu Zheng's men and horses arrived here, they did not spend much difficulty to defeat this city.

There was not even any attack, and the Zhan people inside took the initiative to open the royal city, after all, under the coercion of Liu Zheng's 50,000 army, the Cham people of only thousands of people could not give birth to anyone who resisted.

After some inquiry, Liu Zheng also learned from the mouths of these Zhan people that Fan Man, a guy who had passed by here a day ago, had fled back to Funan.

And the Zhancheng side is not too far from Funan, only a few hundred miles away, but according to Liu Zheng's marching speed, hundreds of miles of land, it will take less than half a month to arrive, fortunately, Liu Zheng can go all the way along the coastal line, all the way down, next time, he can directly use the boat, just go south.

After all, this time, Zhou Tai's navy also followed, and Liu Zheng sent an order to Zhou Tai to let his navy follow them all the way south on the coastline.

February 190.

With the intention of advancing all the way to the south, Liu Zheng and Zhou Cang's army attacked all the way from Linyi City, and finally spent a month to return all the territory belonging to the Cham people hundreds of miles outside Linyi County to the Han Dynasty.

He directly broke through the royal city of the Zhan people, moved the royal family of the original Zhan people to Jiaozhou, and at the same time gave them surnames and let them sinicize, just like when Liu Zheng first occupied Jiaozhou, Sinicized those ethnic minorities in Jiaozhou and treated these Zhan people the same.

Although the Cham people occupy a large territory, the population is not large, and in the entire territory of the Cham people, the total number of Cham people is not one million, it is estimated that it is three or four hundred thousand people, among which there are many old people and children, and the real young and middle-aged labor force is only tens of thousands.

When they were unable to resist Liu Zheng's invasion, they could only obey this and accept such an arrangement.

In this way, Liu Zheng's army, at the end of February, approached the territory of Funanguo.

Because he was going to launch an attack on Funanguo, along the way, Liu Zheng also asked Aguduo a lot about Funanguo.

Funan country, the establishment of the country is only a hundred years old.

In the beginning, the matriarchal society here was ruled by a queen named Willow Leaf, or a tribal situation that looked like barbarians without clothes.

A hundred years ago, there was a person called Chao Ruan who came to Funan, defeated the Queen of Willow Leaves, occupied this Funan Kingdom, and took Queen Wei of Willow Leaves, and it has been passed down.

Now it's the third generation.

Now the king of Funan, called the mixed plate, is over forty years old, is pampered, without the slightest sense of crisis, a faint king, after the power was handed over to Fan Man, the mixed plate plate only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, basically he is already a person with no real power.

Although Fan Man has the right to command the army, he is not the nominal king after all, this time he was defeated by Liu Zheng and returned to Funan alone, but he was afraid that it would not be easy to explain to the mixed plate.

Liu Zheng guessed that judging from the current situation in Funan, there were at most 350,000 soldiers and horses in the country, and if they stubbornly resisted, Liu Zheng would not mind giving them a ride, and if they looked at the wind and surrendered, Liu Zheng would give them a chance to surrender and accept their surrender, and at the same time Liu Zheng decided to follow the aristocratic system established by the Mongol Empire when it conquered the world.

The people were divided into 369 classes, 1st class Han Chinese, 2nd class soldiers, 3rd class people, and 4th class slave prisoners of war.

These, just like the Tianzhu next door, divide the race into hierarchies for future management.

Liu Zheng tried in vain to convey the world of the Han Dynasty to the real world, so that the world could understand what it means to be a state in the Celestial Empire, a nobleman in the Celestial Empire, and a thousand-year-old nobleman!
