Li Nan can only develop southward now, so Jiaozhi and the entire peninsula are his inevitable territory. Ｘ

The entire Indochina Peninsula basically belongs to the typical mountainous and jungle terrain, with high mountains and steep slopes, dense grasses and forests, many caves and deep valleys, few roads and narrow roads, heavy rain and fog, and rivers and streams.

This complex natural and geographical feature has a tremendous impact on the army's combat operations, and its mobility, deployment, observation, communications, coordination, and logistical support are all extremely restricted, which determines that it is impossible for any army to form a tight encirclement of the enemy on this terrain, so that it is convenient for the defending side to disperse and retreat.

In the same way, the terrain makes it easy to hide in place. Later generations of Jiaozhi people adopted the five combat methods of "resistance, dispersion, slipping, hiding, and changing".

When there are fortifications to rely on, the Jiaozhi people resist stubbornly, and if they can't stand it, they will no longer fight hard, and they will be scattered and scattered, and they can slip away, if they can't slip away, or they will burrow in the mountains in the forest, or they will hide in the village in civilian clothes. When the conditions were favorable, they gathered the pieces together and waited for an opportunity to attack and harass them.

In view of the operational characteristics of the Jiaozhi people, the capture of their territory is only the first step in the offensive operation, and the elimination is also an indispensable and important stage. In order to develop victories, expand the results of the war, eliminate the remnants of the enemy, and consolidate the position, it is necessary to carry out clearance.

Originally, the battle plan formulated by Li Nan and the others was to kill the Jiaozhi army as much as possible, capture slaves and bring them back to Guangnan West Road, and make up for the disadvantage of their own lack of personnel.

After learning about the complex situation in Jiaozhi with these captives of various ethnic groups, Li Nan decided to change the war strategy after consulting with everyone in the following days.

A large amount of captured rice was transported out of Yuanping Castle, and although the rice still had husks on it, it still made the slaves of all ethnic groups who had never had a full meal ecstatic.

The slaves devoured the cooked rice, and when they saw Li Nan and the others coming over, they knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, as if they were satisfied if they could eat enough.

This scene reminded Li Nan of a later man named Maslow, and the theory of the hierarchy of human needs he proposed.

Maslow's theory divides human needs into five categories: physiological needs, security needs, love and belonging, respect and self-actualization, and ranks them from lower to higher levels.

In layman's terms, if a person lacks food, safety, love, and respect at the same time, the need for food is usually the greatest, and the other needs are less important.

At this time, people's consciousness is almost completely occupied by hunger, and all energy is used to obtain food. In this extreme case, the whole point of life is to eat, and nothing else matters.

It is only when man is freed from the control of his biological needs that higher, more socialized needs, such as the need for security, can arise.

Now the more than 30,000 slaves from all countries and ethnic groups outside the city are all focused on the physiological needs of the first layer, and being able to eat, drink, and sleep is the most important thing for them at present.

Whatever these people need, Li Nan intends to give them.

"All prisoners of war, regardless of nationality or race, were to submit to whosoever would be freed after three years of service and protected by the Great General."

"Adult males who are physically healthy and voluntarily join the army will be rewarded with ten acres of arable land after three years of service!"

"Civilians reclaim wasteland, half of it goes to themselves, half to the general, do more and get more, there is no upper limit!"

Hundreds of soldiers, speaking in a variety of dialects, preached the latest policies of Li Nan to the 30,000 prisoners of war outside the city, which immediately excited the walking dead prisoners of war and the slaves who had defected.

"Do you have anything to eat when you join the army?"

"A full meal, with vegetables and meat!"

"My lord, I want to farm, but I don't have any seeds?"

"The Great General is willing to provide you with seeds!"

"I'm going to reclaim the wasteland, can you borrow some tools?"

"Yes, there will be someone to distribute all kinds of tools to you at that time!"

“……”

The soldiers were constantly answering the questions posed by the prisoners, and of course the answers were very satisfying to them, and even felt that they were too generous.

Due to the change of plans, large quantities of saws, axes, seeds, and various daily necessities were transported from the state capitals on Quang Nam West Road to Quang Yuan Prefecture.

Li Nan's army did not continue to attack the other state capitals of Jiaozhi, but chose to stay put.

Many people think that nomads are the most terrifying, because they are elite soldiers on horseback and can guerrilla in all directions, but Li Nan thinks that the most terrible is actually the farming people.

After the increase in population in later generations, the land was relatively reduced, but every qualified farmer had the basic skills to grow crops everywhere, whether it was a plain or a plateau, whether it was a hill or a basin, and even on a rocky mountain, they could grow something.

These prisoners of war either never owned their own land, or they were taken from them, so after confirming the decree issued by Li Nan, they all burst out with enthusiasm.

In fact, the most suitable place for growing crops in Cochin is the Red River Basin, and Guangyuan Prefecture is full of mountains and forests, dense vegetation, and is not a good place to open up wasteland and farm, but the idea of the prisoners of war wanting their own land is too strong.

When they encounter forests, cut down grass, and blow up rocks in mountains, they spread outward like locusts.

Li Nan did not interfere with their fanatical emotions, and now was not a good time to protect the natural environment, he just organized people to bring back the trees cut down by the pioneers, and built a large number of neat and spacious new wooden houses in the flat area for more and more escaped slaves to live in.

Guangyuan Prefecture is in full swing with large-scale development, Dorket and Spartacus urgently train the newly recruited Jiaozhi people, and Li Nan has sent many local natives to various places in Jiaozhi to continue to spread what happened here.

Li Hui, the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, who fled back to Huilong City with a rout, although he was a member of the imperial family, he was defeated by 30,000 to 5,000, and he ran back after being beaten, and was immediately imprisoned by the angry Li Renzong.

Li Renzong has always been ambitious, otherwise he would not have dared to invade the powerful Song Dynasty back then, as a decisive person, he naturally would not be afraid of a champion general from the Song Dynasty.

There are also spies in the Jiaozhi Kingdom near Guangyuan Prefecture, and after reading the information that came back, Li Renzong knew that something was wrong.

In recent years, all ethnic groups in Jiaozhi could not bear the cruel exploitation of the Li Dynasty, and rebelled everywhere, especially the cattle roaring barbarians living by the Tuojiang River, whose combat power was amazing, and the Jiaozhi army suffered heavy casualties.

In addition, Jiaozhi often burned, killed and looted the surrounding small countries, and it can be said that there were enemies on all sides, and it was all thanks to the army of the Li Dynasty to temporarily deter the Quartet.

Now that Li Nan used this soft knife to cut the flesh, it was far more ferocious than attacking and fighting, and Li Renzong didn't have to think about it, he knew that the rebellious parties that had a grudge against the Li Dynasty in various places would go to climb, and a large number of slaves would also flee and surrender to Cheng.

Under the circumstances of this situation, the longer this Song army stays in Guangyuan Prefecture, the more difficult it will be to deal with it at that time.

Li Renzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, thought about it and said to the ministers: "I want to go to Guangyuan Prefecture to destroy those Song people!" ”

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!" The ministers looked at it, and the person who spoke was the important minister of the Li Dynasty and the two dynasties, Taifu Li Daocheng.

Li Renzong had an unusual respect for this old minister who had taught him, so he hurriedly asked, "Taifu, why can't this matter be?" ”

Li Daocheng said: "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of Jiaozhi, how can you go out in person with a body of ten thousand gold." What's more, Your Majesty has no son-in-law, if there is a mistake, then I will be in danger! ”

In fact, Li Renzong didn't want to go to the danger to meet the enemy in person, it was really because Jiaozhi's national strength was low, talents were scarce, and there were not many people available in his hands.

Li Daocheng assisted the emperors of the two dynasties, but now he is still standing, how can he not understand Li Renzong's thoughts, so he hurriedly said: "The old minister is willing to recommend a person, this person has great achievements, and he will definitely bring back the head of the Song Dynasty!" ”

"Oh, who is Taifu talking about?"

"The person I recommend is His Majesty's righteous brother, who is the envoy of Zhuzhen Festival, and the founding prince of Shangzhu State and Auxiliary State under the Zhongshu Sect, Li Changjie!" r
