An army left the military camp outside the city and advanced to the northwest, an important town in the northwest, consisting of infantry, and a large war elephant had already been drawn a few days earlier. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The elephant soldiers of Linyi are an army comparable to the elephants of Funan, and such a large-scale movement is due to the tense situation in the northern border and the need for strong elephant soldiers to support.

The north side of the border is the Hengshan Mountains, and the northern foot of the Hengshan Mountains is the boundary of the Central Plains Chen's Jiao, Ai, De, Li, and Mingzhou, and at the beginning of this year, the Central Plains underwent great changes, and the enemy of Chen's State of Zhou sent troops to attack Lingbiao, occupy Panyu, Guangzhou, and then march to Jiaozhou.

Li Fozi, the Jiaozhou assassin of Chen State, is actually the king of Wanchun State, who has controlled the Jiaozhou region for more than ten years, and from time to time sent troops to confront Lin Yi across the Hengshan Mountain, which is a very strong opponent, but was easily defeated by the Zhou army.

In order to prevent the Zhou army from attacking in the south, Lin Yi mobilized troops to reinforce the northern important town of Qusu and prepared to defend against the enemy in advance.

Where did Lin Yi State contain the remnants of Wanchun Kingdom, Zhou Jun had nothing to do, in order to prevent the other party from attacking south, so it was necessary to strengthen the border defense, so that the other party could dispel another thought that should not be had.

What's the other thought? Of course, it is the so-called "recovery of Ninan-gun".

Rinan County, set up by the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, under the jurisdiction of Zhuwu, Bijing, Lurong, Xijuan, Xianglin five counties, is the southernmost county of the Han Dynasty, in the Later Han Dynasty, Rinan County Xianglin County occupied the people and rebelled, killed the county order to build the Linyi country, and established himself as the king of Linyi.

Jiaozhi Thorn Shi sent troops to quell the chaos, but as a result, the Han army was defeated due to internal strife, and the Han court wanted to transfer troops from the Central Plains, but it was unable to do so, causing Lin Yi to become bigger and finally gain a firm foothold.

The situation in the Central Plains has been troubled for hundreds of years, and the territory of Linyi has gradually expanded, and the Wu, Jin, Song, Qi, and Liang countries that operate Jiaozhi (Jiaozhou) have been fighting for a hundred years, and finally succeeded in encroaching on the entire territory of Rinan County.

The fertile land of Jiaozhou can produce a large amount of grain urgently needed by Linyi State, but now, Linyi State should be wary of the new owner of Jiaozhou, and he has a bad idea of the former Ninan County.

The northern army wants to invade the south to attack the capital of Linyi, it is necessary to take the district, and more than 100 years ago, when the Song army came to attack, it broke through the Hengshan mountain range, captured the district, and finally broke through the capital of Linyi.

This must not be repeated. Therefore, no matter whether the Zhou army was bluffing or really thinking about it, the whole of Lin Yi was like a great enemy, and the troops were increased to strengthen the border defense, so as not to prevent the Zhou army from pretending to be a real act and really committing a large-scale attack in the south.

Will the Zhou army invade south? I'm not sure, but Lin Yiguo sent people to Longbian Port in Jiaozhou to inquire about the news, and roughly estimated that the number of Zhou troops arriving in Jiaozhou was limited, and it was still reluctant to control Jiaozhou, Xing, De, Ai, Li, and Ming, and I was afraid that I would not be able to invade the south.

Lin Yi is no longer the weak country it was back then, with strong troops and war elephants to help, and now it is summer, the weather is abnormally hot, and most of the Zhou troops coming from the north are afraid that they will die of illness before they can engage in battle.

Therefore, everyone firmly believes that even if there is a war, it is still Linyi State that will win in the end.

There are two rivers converging in one place outside the city of Dianchong, flowing forty miles into the sea in the east, the estuary is called "Dazhan Haikou", "Linyipu" in the Central Plains, the Linyi Port located in Dazhan Haikou is very prosperous, it is an important port that must pass through the "Tonghaiyi Road" that originates from Panyu.

Just like Jiaozhou Longbian Port, Linyi Port has formed a densely populated port city, and the capital city of Dianchong, which is forty miles upstream, often has ships going down the river from Dazhan Haikou into the bay, and then going to Zhanbulao Mountain, which is more than 100 miles away due east.

Located in the middle of the sea, Champurao Mountain is actually a large island, and there is a temple on the top of the island, which is an important Brahmanical temple in the country of Linyi.

The state religion of Linyi is the Brahmanism derived from Tianzhu, and the main ethnic group in the country is the Cham people, and the writing is in Sanskrit, which is completely different from Jiaozhou, and the punishment of the Linyi State is very simple, there are only two kinds: the sinner is either trampled to death by elephants, or thrown to Zhanbulao Mountain to fend for himself.

A large ship that had just passed through the mouth of the Dazhan Sea and entered the bay was heading towards the eastern part of the Chamblao Mountain, and the special passengers held in the cabin were the sinners who were going to the Chambulao Mountains to fend for themselves.

On the mountain, there is a sacred temple, and the jungle at the foot of the mountain is the accumulated white bones of those who have been living here for hundreds of years, so Zhanbulao Mountain has two completely different meanings for the people of Linyi.

On the deck, several soldiers were chatting, and as Cham people, they naturally spoke in the Cham language.

"How can these sinners be spared the elephant punishment and live a few more days in the mountain of Zhan Bu Prison, this is the favor of Lord Shiva to them, what else is there to complain about?"

"Ouch, don't you know, in the woods at the foot of Zhanbulao Mountain, not to mention anything else, mosquitoes are called more than one, as long as one night, you can bite people to lose a few pounds, who can survive a few nights?"

"If these sinners were trampled on by elephants, they would have died on the spot, and they would have died a happy death, and if they had been banished to the mountains of Champurao, they would not have been able to break through the guards and go to the mountains, but they could only be tortured to death in the woods, and they would have died a terrible death, so they sighed."

"However, I have heard that there are people who have survived in the woods of the Occupy Burao Mountain."

"If you live one out of ten, what's there to envy? Even if you survive, you can't leave Zhanbulao Mountain, you can only live without people and ghosts, which is more uncomfortable than dying. ”

While the soldiers were chatting, the boat gradually sailed towards the outer edge of the bay, the salty sea breeze blowing on their faces, the seagulls flying on the side of the ship, and the sea antenna ahead, invisible to the naked eye, was the destination of their trip, the Chamburao Mountain.

There were many more official ships cruising in the bay than in the past, and their duty was to guide foreign ships into the harbor, and they also shouldered the duty of defending against pirates, but now the number has increased several times, and it is said that it is to guard against the attack of the Zhou army's warships.

"Will the Zhou army take the sea route to attack the national capital?"

"Who knows, but I think even if you want to come, it's not so easy, if the Zhou army fleet sets off from Longbian Port and comes along the coast, it will first have to pass through Zhu Wupu, Sihuipu to the east of Ousu, and then come over to Duguan Saipu, in that case, the national capital will have already received the news and prepared for defense."

"But if Zhou Jun didn't take the coastal route, but came from the northeastern island, there would be no one to report along the way."

"Come on, come on, now that the hurricane is raging, they are not afraid of death and cross from the northeast island, and if they encounter a hurricane on the way, they will all be finished!"

While they were talking, someone shouted: "Boats, so many boats!" What a boat! ”

When everyone heard this, they looked to the east or northeast, and saw that the sea was full of waves, only sporadic sails, and where there were "so many boats", the man was so anxious that he shouted: "It's the south, look at the south!" ”

When I turned my head to look, I saw many sail shadows in the southern sea outside the bay, dense like a forest, which looked amazing.

"From the south... It's the Wolffang-Whiskered Haikou from the south who is here! ”
