Chapter 270: Sending troops to exterminate
Xu Huang and Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was older, and Liu Zheng asked Huang Zhong to stay and let Xu Huang go to deal with the affairs of Lin Yiguo.
Originally, Liu Zheng planned for this kind of small matter, and he didn't need to participate in it, but when he thought that he had done a Linyi country, maybe there would be a second Linyi country and a third Linyi country in the future.
After all, there is not only one strength in Southeast Asia, Liu Zheng decided to go over and see it himself, and by the way, he brought Xu You, who had just returned.
With Xu Huang guarding by his side, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
In this way, Liu Zheng took his own guards and Xu Huang from Cangwu County to attack Jiuzhen County in a short period of time.
Jiuzhen County, one of several counties in Jiaozhou, is located above Rinan County.
Liu Zheng knows the map of the world, after all, he is a modern person, and he still has some impressions of the map of Southeast Asia, but in the hands of Shi Xie, after seeing the map of Jiaozhou, he found that Jiaozhou only occupies a small part of the Southeast Asian peninsula.
In the entire Southeast Asian region, although it cannot be compared with the entire Han court, it can definitely be equivalent to the scope of three or four states and counties of the Han Empire.
As for why he didn't continue to attack other places in Southeast Asia after he conquered Jiaozhou, thinking about it, first, there are few people here, and there is not much population, and even if it is defeated, it is just a wasteland, and there is not much useful at all.
Second, Southeast Asia is far enough away from Jiaozhou, not to mention from the imperial capital Luoyang, the news comes and goes, and in the case of inconvenient transportation, it will take at least half a year. It takes more than half a year for soldiers and horses to go back and forth, and supplies and the like can't keep up at all.
Even if it was defeated, it would not have much effect.
Perhaps this is why the Han court at that time did not continue the southern expedition.
But today's Liu Zheng is different.
After decades of development, the population and strength of the Linyi Kingdom have been significantly improved, and if the Linyi Kingdom is incorporated back, it can also increase the population of Jiaozhou and increase enough sources for Liu Zheng's conscription.
In addition, Nichinam-gun is also close to the sea, and it may be possible to trade with countries farther away through Ninan-gun if you continue to the south.
Although Liu Zheng still doesn't know if there are other countries in this vicinity, there must be, after all, on the European continent, this time should also be the time for the rise of the four major empires.
Ten days later.
Liu Zheng, Xu Huang and others appeared in the territory of Jiuzhen County.
In Jiuzhen County, Shi Xie and others had already arrived here in advance, had a further understanding of the situation in Jiuzhen County, and at the same time summoned the soldiers of Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County.
When Liu Zheng came here, Shi Xie had already gathered the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Jiaozhi County, and at the same time gathered the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Jiuzhen County, counting the 2,000 veterans in Xu Huang's army, in Jiuzhen County, there were 12,000 people at this time.
These 12,000 people, although most of them are recruits who have just gone through three months of training and have no combat experience, but no matter what, they are all young and strong young men, and if they are led by Xu Huang, they still have some combat effectiveness.
After all, the soldiers led by Xu Huang at the beginning were those Yellow Turban Army, and the soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army were also some new soldiers, most of whom were farmers who could only farm.
Under Xu Huang's command, they were still able to exert some strength on the battlefield, and now these people, who have been trained for three months anyway, still have some combat effectiveness.
"My lord, the situation is not optimistic, the people of Linyi Kingdom have already occupied the entire Rinan County, and now they have gathered the remaining men and horses to approach the periphery of Jiuzhen County, intending to continue the attack."
Shi Xie began to report the information he had collected to Liu Zheng.
"Well, this situation, I have already guessed it, people's hearts are greedy, since they have made up their minds to resist the Han Dynasty, they will naturally not stop easily, Shi Xie's assassination history, tell me how many people there are in Lin Yi Kingdom, where are they now, and who is the boss!"
Liu Zheng had murderous intentions against this Linyi country, and was bound to subdue the lost territory and exterminate these rebellions.
"My lord, there are not many soldiers and horses in this Linyi country, but there are only 25,000 people, and because after occupying Rinan County, the soldiers and horses are rarely scattered, and now the number of people gathered outside Jiuzhen County is only 20,000, and their commander is Fan Yi, the son of the second king of Linyi country!"
"Fan Yi, the son of the second king, I remember that you said before that the founder of the Linyi Kingdom was not called Ou Lian?"
Liu Zheng vaguely remembered this name, but now that he heard that the king's son had become Fan Yi and his surname was Fan, he still couldn't understand it.
Shi Xie also smiled faintly and immediately explained to Liu Zheng.
"In fact, there are some stories in this, although Oulian established himself as the king, he had no heirs and did not leave a successor, so he could only let his nephew, who is now the king of Linyi Kingdom, Fan Xiong, succeed him."
"After succeeding to the throne for this Fan Xiong, he still has some ability, and he has conquered the territory of several nearby Cham people, and expanded the territory of Linyi Kingdom a lot, and now he is eyeing the world of our Han Dynasty, which is not unreasonable."
Shi Xie is a native of Jiaozhou, and he is also a Cangwu Taishou, although he doesn't know much about the affairs of Rinan County, but the information of his Shi family can still be touched on these things.
"I see, it seems that he is still a generation of heroes, but it's a pity that he met me!"
After Liu Zheng heard Shi Xie's explanation, he still had some clear understanding of this Linyi country, although this small country was not even the size of a county, but the trouble caused to Liu Zheng was not small.
After understanding the other party's men and their location, Liu Zheng didn't even pause, and directly asked Xu Huang to take the men and horses and directly gather at the edge of Jiuzhen County and Rinan County.
Bijing County, which is a county seat between Jiuzhen County and Ninan County.
It was the last county seat of the Han Dynasty led by Fan Yi with an army of 20,000, and among the county seats, there were only more than 10,000 people, and Fan Yi slaughtered a small half of the population and entered the city, showing his strength.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, another city, this time back to the royal capital, the prince will definitely be able to get the king's commendation, maybe he will be able to inherit the throne directly!"
In Bijing County, at this time, Fan Yi was grabbing some women from Bijing County and rewarding them to his subordinates, who were very happy and immediately complimented Fan Yi.
"Hahaha, what has Lin Yi calculated, when I pacify this Jiaozhou and defeat the Han court, I want to be the king of the Han world!"
