The war in the south was not worth mentioning in Huang Zhong's eyes, and the people who fought with him were just some peasants with broken copper and iron, no, they didn't even have broken copper and iron, and some even held wooden sticks, and when the Han soldiers held large shields and forced them over, these peasants threw out the stones in their hands, which was their only long-range weapon.

They don't know the military, they don't even know the military formation, they rushed over in a hurry, completely relying on their ignorance and recklessness, when the Han army took out the yellow crossbow, the war was almost over, the people in front were harvested by the yellow crossbow, the huge and rapid casualties frightened these peasants who were only brave for a while, they threw away their equipment in horror, turned around and ran.

In an instant, chaos was caused in the enemy formation, trampling on each other, ramming each other, the infantry of the Han army did not engage them in a full-scale battle, these people had already collapsed, they did not have middle-level generals, these peasants were completely the private slaves of the opposing generals, and the generals would also set up a supervising officer, usually served by their own sons and nephews, to drive these peasants in the rear.

Huang Zhong did not kill these peasants, looking at these cowardly, frightened, trembling peasants, he did not want to make the soldiers kill on a large scale, most of the soldiers killed by crossbow arrows, or the corpses of Tongze mistakenly killed, most of the rest were captured, and the rest fled back to their homes.

Such a military brigade, no, this is not a military brigade at all, how did he defeat Funan? In this regard, Huang Zhong was very puzzled, but since he had defeated the other party, Huang Zhong no longer thought about it, among the Funan Kingdom and the Zhenla Kingdom, Huang Zhong did not have a garrison and did not appoint officials, and there were many forests and rains here, and only a small part of the land was suitable for farming.

Huang Zhong only occupied a few ports around the two kingdoms, and recruited their large ships and shipwrights.

Don't look at the lack of national strength of these small countries, but in terms of shipbuilding, it is still relatively advanced, after all, unlike the Han Dynasty, they have less arable land, most of the people have been engaged in fishing and hunting, and the things that go to sea are also common, their boats are very small, but they are flat-bottomed, such a system seems to have aroused great interest among the Han boatmen, and they began to study it.

Not long after Huang Zhong came to the navy, he only knew some tactical strategies, and he didn't know anything about shipbuilding, so he didn't interfere in these things, but Wang Fu was very interested in this, and often communicated with Xu Rong, the captain of Caoyun, about this matter.

In Luoyang, the hundred officials do not know the real situation, heard that no one in the Han army was killed, overjoyed, I don't know how many years, the Han Dynasty has never been defeated in the outside world, and now such an exaggerated record, it is even more so that these hundred officials hang on their lips, all the credit is due to the Son of Heaven and their own talents, the Son of Heaven is aware of the inside story, Huang Zhong played, and informed the Son of Heaven in detail about the small battle in the south.

However, seeing that this achievement was quite able to revitalize the hearts of the people and make the people happy, he did not explain too much, and gave Huang Zhong an additional reward, which made Huang Zhong feel a little uncomfortable, Wang Fu did not participate in this battle, but many people thought that he had merit in the war, and the ministers did not agree with this, but although he had no military merits, he also made a lot of progress overseas.

Yizhou, and even many overseas islands, there have been some prototypes of county seats, and the scope of the navy can sail has gradually expanded, no longer limited to the surroundings of Yangzhou, in contrast, Xing Ziang, who is in the north, has not yet started the construction of the gallop, since he left Luoyang, there have been several months, but so far, he has not made any improvement in the north.

On the contrary, he also looked for ministers such as Zhang He and Yang Qiu, and the three of them didn't know what they were plotting, Xing Ziang kept going back and forth in the north without stopping, and the ministers at first thought that Xing Ziang was ready to go, and planned carefully, but after four months, the ministers' patience was gradually exhausted.

Originally, because of the prince's affairs, Luoyang, which has not been very stable, suddenly fell into a new turmoil, many people played, demanding severe punishment for Xing Ziang's crimes, but unfortunately, since Wang Fu and Xing Ziang were dispatched, the Son of Heaven rarely launched court discussions, and generally pulled Yuan Feng, Cui Yu, Zhang Wen, Cai Yong, and Cao Song over for secret agents, and the ministers did not know the inside story.

Xing Ziang did have another plan, he had great ambitions, and was not satisfied with Wang Fu's strategy of galloping through the five states, after he personally rushed to the north, only to learn that the north is vast, and there are many mountains and rivers in Jizhou, even if there is a galloping road, it can only meet the contact between states, but in various counties, transportation is still extremely difficult.

If you want to engage in large-scale construction, then do the best, don't let future generations complain in the future, Xing Ziang has attention, and he plays the Son of Heaven, hoping that the Son of Heaven can support his big plan, for Xing Ziang, the Son of Heaven has great trust, after counting the treasury, the Son of Heaven agreed to Xing Ziang's performance, and sent Zhang He to help, and asked the states to assassinate Shi Taishou to help with all his might.

Under such circumstances, Xing Ziang began to draw a very detailed map of the north, including He, Hebei, You, He, Xin, and even Sanhan, all of which were covered by him, probe, visit, and plan, and gathered dozens of local celebrities to ask for advice for themselves, Xing Ziang's policy was beneficial to the entire northern states, and these celebrities did not refuse.

After careful planning for nearly four months, the draft has been formed, but Xing Ziang still did not start construction, on the one hand, he didn't want to make any mistakes on the way, on the other hand, the construction of the people required is huge, to wait for the autumn harvest to pass, but also to give the people time to recuperate, and when it came to October, Xing Ziang immediately ordered many Taishou county orders to start construction in an all-round way!!

Xing Ziang's purpose is to establish a rough road line in the entire north, connecting the counties and counties, so that the carriages and horses can pass more conveniently, of course, the vehicle and vessel tax that the imperial court can collect will also be increased many times, which is also beneficial to the tax of the imperial court in the future, Xing Ziang believes that even if Wen Rengong is still there, he will agree to his plan.

The people are still a little confused about this matter, however, after the county orders came forward, they were quickly organized and began to work, materials and money were raised from the treasury, and some of them were specially given by the Son of Heaven to be used directly in the local area, but they had to be supervised by Zhang He himself, so as not to cause corruption, and the people began to start construction in full swing.

Since most of the areas were started at the same time, Xing Ziang also became extremely busy, his whereabouts were uncertain, and he was monitoring everywhere, fortunately, there were Zhang He's embroidered messengers everywhere, otherwise, Xing Ziang alone may not be able to carry out at the same time, and I also have to thank the state assassins in various places, these assassins and the postal superintendents are all assisting in handling, as soon as Xing Ziang started construction, it scared the ministers of the entire Luoyang.

Is this going to build galloping roads all over the five states?

Of course, Xing Ziang is only building small roads in the county, not large galloping roads, if you want to let the galloping roads spread all over the north, the country's finances will not be able to support it, at least, it will not be able to support it at present.
