Chapter 457: Covering the Sea
"Our Nanyang Wudu Governor's Mansion is now in charge of more than 200,000 people, 15,000 troops, plus 50,000 united soldiers can be recruited to fight, are you just limited to repelling the invading enemy?"
The cormorant Wei Xun glanced at Li Yexu and said with a meaningful smile to everyone seated.
Wei Chi Xunyu only drank and did not say anything, the Boni Governor's Mansion under his jurisdiction was not under the direct attack of the Nanyang Coalition Army, but there was Li Yexu, the Governor of Dianzhou Prefecture, in front of him. The other four governors did not ask for help from him, and he was completely out of the woods in this great war involving the Nanyang states.
To be precise, in this war involving the countries of the Polar Peninsula, Sumatra, and Java Islands, the four governors had enough confidence to win the battle, and the joint general Chi Xunyu, who had a tacit understanding, squeezed out the fruits of the victory in this war.
Of course, for Wei Chi Xunyu, who is belligerent and willing to expand his territory and invite credit to King Yan, he does not want to be squeezed out by the four governors, and he has no part in this war for hegemony in Nanyang or the right to survive. He made up his mind, and when the news of the South China Sea Fleet's defeat of the six-nation combined fleet came, he led his troops from northeastern Borneo along the coastline to eastern Borneo. Occupy the eastern part of Borneo, even if he fails to participate in the war of the Nanyang countries, with his meritorious service in expanding thousands of miles in the eastern part of Borneo, he will never lose the military exploits created by the four capital governors, and the king of Yan will definitely not treat him badly.
Li Wenchang, the governor of Puluo, Yang Shihong, the governor of Phuket, and Li Rong, the governor of Duzhou, exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes revealed something called the unfillable desire flickering.
It was not the goal of the four of them to just repel the allied forces of the countries that came to Fan, but Wei Chi Xunyu was present, and all four of them chose to keep their mouths shut.
After the meeting, Wei Chi Xunyu left with a black face, and he didn't want to stay in Yongxing City for a moment. traveled thousands of miles from Binkai City by boat, but he didn't think that Li Wenchang and the four of them didn't want to take him to play at all, no matter who had anger in their hearts, not to mention that Wei Chi Xunyu was a rough person.
After Wei Chi Xunyu left, Li Wenchang, Li Rong, Yang Shihong, and Li Yexu took their respective generals to the palace where the sand table of the Nanyang Sea and River terrain was placed.
Li Rong pointed to the two pole peninsulas on the map and said: "The two pole peninsulas have more than 20,000 soldiers in the alliance of the nine countries in the north and the north and some Malay tribes. The remaining more than 10,000 soldiers went to Brother Yang's Duizhou. ”
"Brother Li and I have discussed before, although there are 20,000 enemy troops, but the enemy army borne by each is no more than 10,000 people, and the strength of our two governors' mansions plus the united army can each send 5,000 capable soldiers. In addition to the generals, the soldiers and soldiers had no armor, and the equipment was also unfavorable, so it was more than enough to take measures against the enemy's 10,000 people with 5,000 soldiers. After annihilating the invading enemy army, he led his army to sweep the Zhufan Kingdom and the Malay tribes south of the Single Horse Order, while Brother Li led the army to the north to sweep the Bipolar Peninsula area east and north of Phuket, taking advantage of the opportunity of the great victory to completely take the entire Bipolar Peninsula. ”
Yang Shihong said with some excitement.
"The central and northern parts of the Polar Peninsula were taken by the two, and after Xue Yao annihilated the fleet of the Six Nations, he could only lead the army across the sea to attack the island of Sumatra, and Mora You and Sri Buddha died."
Li Wenchang spread his hands and said helplessly, as if he had lost a lot.
In fact, Nuo Neng captured the two overlords of the South Seas, Mo Luo You and Sri Buddha, not to mention expanding the land for thousands of miles, just the hundreds of years of wealth accumulated by the two countries to control the passage tax and port tax collected by the Taiyin Strait can make Li Wenchang make a windfall, and all the soldiers under his command can get rich in a war.
Yang Shihong and Li Rong don't know how much they are interested in Li Wenchang's position as the governor of the Puluo Governor's Mansion.
Li Rong's Phuket Governorate is located on Phuket Island, 800 miles southwest of Sumatra Island (now Banda Aceh) of Sumatra, Yang Shihong's Duizhou Governor's Mansion is far away on the north shore of the Polar Peninsula on the southern shore of the Gulf of Thailand (now Pattani), and it is thousands of miles away from the southeast tip of Sumatra Island by Mora You and Sri Buddha.
"In a certain opinion, the military power in the hands of Brother Wenchang is enough to attack Mora You, and Sri Buddha will leave it to a certain to attack. You can't let someone go near and far and risk attacking the Tamara and Heling kingdoms on Jawa Island, right? ”
Although Li Yexu patted the sand table for a joke, the look of me making up my mind made Li Wenchang a little unhappy.
Mora You is close to the Puluo Governor's Mansion, and Li Wenchang has nothing to say about attacking everyone, but Sri Buddha is about the same distance from the Puluo Governor's Mansion and the Dianzhou Governor's Mansion, and it is still the closest enemy country to the Dianzhou Governor's Mansion, so it should be attacked by Li Yexu.
As the overlord of the current Nanyang indigenous kingdom, Sri Buddha controlled the Taiyin Strait for decades, and the wealth accumulated by collecting toll taxes and port taxes was definitely the most among the Nanyang countries. I heard that there is a Buddhist temple in the capital of Palembang, and the pagoda and Buddha statues in the temple are all made of gold and inlaid with countless precious stones.
The dragon spirit of the deceased king of Sri Buddha has a pure gold throne that is larger than the pure gold and silver pedal throne captured by the Bori Kingdom that Yu Chi Xunyu destroyed, and it has always been the target of Li Wenchang's covetousness.
Li Yexu wanted to attack Sri Buddha and died, which made Li Wenchang dissatisfied, but if he was against it, he would attract public resentment, and if he was stabbed to King Yan, he would not have any good fruit to eat, so he had to acquiesce expressionlessly.
Li Yexu patted Li Wenchang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "After the two of us have destroyed Mora You and Sri Buddha died, and then join forces to attack the Tamora and Heling Kingdoms on Jawa Island, how about you get a certain amount of money?" ”
"If Brother Karma has this intention, how can it be unreasonable?"
Li Wenchang's gloomy face immediately smiled, and he agreed with Li Yexu to attack the two countries on Jawwa Island, and the two immediately buried their heads in the sand table to study the strategy of marching.
……
Three days later, on the ocean south of Linga Island, 300 miles southeast of Singapore Island, Xue Yao commanded 110 warships of the South China Sea Fleet to form four side-by-side horizontal formations to meet the enemy.
In front of the South China Sea Fleet is the combined fleet of the four kingdoms of Mora You, Sri Buddha, Tamara, and the Kingdom of Haling, with 2,000 large and small warships, the small one is a sampan with three or four people, and the large one is a warship that can carry twenty or thirty people, which is regarded as a large ship in the eyes of the natives of the South Seas.
The 300 warships of the two countries did not move south to join the fleets of the four countries as the Tang army had discovered, but rushed to the Phuket Governor's Mansion on the island of Phuket.
"The commander of the envoy, the urgent military information sent by the governor of Puluo."
Xue Yao took it and smiled indifferently, "When our army annihilates the four-nation combined fleet on the opposite side, what can the remaining hundreds of small boats in Sumatra and Mulu be used for?" Command all ships to win and not lose today. ”
"Whoa."
