Liaodong, in a city farthest away from the border fortress, the general Fang Daye was ready to attack the Fuyu country, which was a year later than his initial prediction, no way, the main energy of Dachu at that time could not be used to retaliate against a small country, but to pacify the troubles of Yunmengze and the East China Sea, and the main responsibility of the army outside the Saiwai was also to prevent the north, and Liaodong could not get enough soldiers, horses, food and grass. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Daye waited patiently, repaired the city as much as possible, recruited displaced people to reclaim the wasteland, and at the same time, sent scouts from afar, and even personally went out to survey the terrain and capture prisoners hundreds of miles away.

Ten days ago, he finally got a troop of soldiers and horses, the number was not much, and the original garrison of Liaodong was only 8,000 people.

Fang Daye felt that enough was enough, he got accurate information, the country of Buyeo was already in chaos, divided into several factions, fighting endlessly, this country was originally formed by many tribes, and now it will return to its old state of being divided.

Eight thousand soldiers and horses were enough to defeat the forces of several factions in Buyeo State.

There is another reason why Fang Daye is eager to attack, he is too old, he has been a prisoner and a general outside for many years, and he is about to run out of physical strength, the emperor has called him back to Beijing at least ten times, Fang Daye has refused for various reasons, he is afraid that he will not be able to return to Liaodong after taking his last breath.

"When I was young, I always thought about how to save my life on the battlefield, moved back to the court to receive meritorious rewards, was in front of my family for a while, and stayed outside for a long time, but I couldn't tell where home was." The old general usually speaks little, but today he rarely expressed a few words of emotion.

Captain Ma Da came from Jingnan Fishing Village, followed the then Tired Marquis to join the Su Guard, drank and made trouble many times, and was sent to the frontier, he himself was willing, it can be said that he was very happy, and felt that the capital was too boring.

Ma Da has a stubborn donkey temper, but he has great respect for Fang Daye, and as a lieutenant, he gave the old general a personal companion soldier, then blinked his eyes and said: "A place with a wife and children is home, right?" I don't have a wife or children, so I don't have a home, and General Fang definitely does. ”

"Well, I'm almost losing sight of what they looked like." Fang Daye stood up, tall, but bloated, after putting on a full set of armor, he immediately became majestic, but his stomach was difficult to go down, and it was still bulging.

"Let's go."

Fang Daye led the way first, and Martha followed closely with two bows, a crossbow, and three pots of arrows.

The soldiers and horses have been assembled, Fang Daye only left 500 people to defend the city, and the other soldiers all followed him to attack the Fuyu country.

The Buyeo country is backed by the vast forest, where it is more difficult to travel than the sea, Fang Daye made a detailed plan early, did not go straight to its capital, but obliquely inserted into the country, marched for more than ten days, went around to the rear, cut off the main road for the Buyeo country to retreat into the forest, and then bluffed, less than 8,000 people, but tens of thousands of people barracks.

Everything was as he expected, the Chu army was still on the way, and the Buyeo country was divided, and the main battle side formed an army and rushed to meet the battle, resulting in defeat in all three battles.

Fang Daye on the battlefield and the old general in peacetime were judged to be two people, and they went into battle in person, and the arrows were not missing, and Ma Da alone did not have time to supply the arrows, so he had to arrange another person.

Fighting with such a general, everyone fights hard, but it is bad news for the enemy.

When the Buyeo Kingdom was defeated and the Chu army was still dozens of miles away from the capital, the king chose to surrender.

Since the failure of following the Huns to attack Dachu, the Fuyu State has been asking for surrender, but each time many conditions have been put forward, and Dachu has always refused.

This time it was a real unconditional surrender, the counterattack could not be achieved, the expected Hun reinforcements did not even have a shadow, the common people could take the path to hide in the forest, and the king had too many wives and concubines and treasures, so he could only sit and wait for the army to come to the city.

Fang Daye detained the envoys who asked for surrender, led his army all the way to the city, showed the letter of surrender to the defenders, and ordered them to open the city gate immediately.

Buyeo was already in chaos, and the order was not smooth, and as soon as the nobles guarding the gate saw the letter of surrender and the messenger, they immediately ordered the door to be opened.

The Chu army entered the city and surrounded the palace.

King Buyeo led all his clansmen out of the palace and knelt down, offering dozens of main fighters, claiming that he had been bewitched by them in the first place, so he became a vassal of the Huns.

War is war, Fang Daye immediately killed the main fighter, sent military officials, loudly counted the ungrateful betrayal of King Fuyu in the local language, and finally in the name of the Great Chu Emperor, announced the abolition of the old king, and the nobles elected a new king.

Fang Daye is ambitious, he not only wants to defeat the Buyeo State, but also to make this small country in Liaodong collapse, and it will no longer be a hidden danger of Dachu.

After the new king was elected, he made a request that the Fuyu state move the capital to the west, and send manpower to build several new cities hundreds of miles away from the new capital and hand them over to the Chu army, so that the new Buyeo king would be protected by the Chu army and facilitate trade between the two sides.

Fang Daye even chose the location.

Fang Daye started a war in late spring, and the foundation stone of the cities was laid in midsummer, he arranged everything, wrote a private letter to the emperor, and ran out of oil before autumn.

Martha cried bitterly in front of the old general's bed, more sad than the death of his loved ones, "The general and I both have a 'big' word in their names, the general's son is far away in the capital, I will be your son and give you filial piety." ”

Ma Da supported the coffin, sent the bones of the old general back to his hometown, buried them in the ancestral grave, and sent the letter to the emperor with his own hands.

In the city of Mayi, Sima Chai Yue, the great commander of the Northern Army, heard the news of Fang Daye's death and ordered the whole army to mourn.

Chai Yue did not participate in the battle of Buyeo, he had been keeping an eye on the movements in the north, and if the Huns intended to support Buyeo, he would lead his army to intercept it.

There was nothing abnormal about the Huns, Chai Yue breathed a sigh of relief, he actually only had 50,000 soldiers under his command, once the war started, the supply of grain and grass could only last for a month, it was really not a good time to start a war.

On the East China Sea, the wind and waves were calm, and the soldiers on the ship were not interested in the war in Liaodong, they had their own generals and their own battles.

Since last year, Huang Pugong has spent more than half of his time at sea, winning every battle, and there are very few pirates within 100 miles of the coast.

The number of naval warships increased to more than 50, larger and more stable, and several of them could withstand strong winds and waves, and Huang Pugong often used them to surprise the islands.

After more than ten years away from the sea, Huang Pugong still knows the entire sea area well, and knows which island is suitable for Tibetans and which island must hide wealth.

The island he was going to attack today was far from the coast, but the location was very important, and after taking it, he could build an important stronghold, and from then on, the Great Chu Navy would no longer have to stay on land and wait for the pirates to attack.

The sea bandits also understood the importance of this island, and more than a dozen groups of people gathered here to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army.

The battle began early in the morning, with more ships on the pirate side and larger and better ships on the Chu army.

Huang Pugong and Fang Daye are a little similar, they both like to take the lead, and they are unwilling to sit in the rear to command, he personally led a large ship, rampage among the pirates, and opened the way for other Chu warships.

The pirates wanted to jump onto the opposing ship in hand-to-hand combat, but Huang Pugong tried to avoid this, and the soldiers on board were all armed with long guns, twice as long as ordinary guns, specifically designed to prevent anyone from boarding the ship.

All that's left is to bump, bump and bump.

The battle lasted a whole day, and by nightfall, the pirates suffered heavy losses, leaving only a few small boats to flee in a hurry.

Huang Pugong took advantage of Shengdeng Island to set up camp on the island.

It was here that the Chu army was ambushed.

The pirates had obviously been prepared, and the number of people gathered here far exceeded the Chu army's previous estimates, and the naval battle was only to lure the enemy deeper, and the decisive battle was to be fought on the island.

The pirates were clear about the number, configuration, and tactics of the Chu army, and Huang Pugong quickly understood that he had been betrayed, and someone wanted to put him to death.

Half a month later, the emperor on the patrol road got the news that Huang Pugong, the general of the Lou boat, led the army to the sea, but did not return within the time limit, and did not send someone to deliver the letter according to the rules.

Far west, Kunlun Pass, a city began to take shape, this is the credit of Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Biyuan, he participated in the whole process of planning and construction, more than the general, the countries of the Western Regions sent people and food, all of them had high hopes for this city, thinking that only it could block the gods and ghosts, so it was named "three but" - gods, ghosts, and people could not pass through this city.

The Chu people asked the imperial court for instructions according to the custom, and named it "Tiger Ju City" according to the direction.

General Deng Cui had nothing to do, and he really didn't want to stay in this desolate place and watch the city wall rise inch by inch, and he was more willing to travel around.

In the first year, Deng Cui often traveled to the countries of the Western Regions to interact with the royal family, he was of noble birth and was the emperor's "favorite retainer", so he was warmly welcomed everywhere.

Zhang Yin dealt with civil engineering, mud and stone every day, and he didn't move the place for more than two years, but Deng Cui married three wives, all of whom were noble girls from all over the world, one of them was even a princess, and he didn't take it with him, he stayed in his country and lived together when he went.

The Western Regions is still too small, Deng Cui after a few visits, began to travel to the west, the beautiful name is "survey the terrain", but he only chooses beautiful scenery, densely populated places to go, no drawings on the road, no records, God knows how much terrain he remembers.

Deng Cui's position is higher, Zhang Yin can't control him, and he doesn't dare to manage it, he only does his job well, strives to complete the construction of the city as soon as possible, and can atone for his grandson.

In the late spring of this year, probably at the same time as the Battle of Liaodong, Deng Cui had a whim and said to Zhang Yin: "Why does Da Chu have to build a city here, why are you waiting for Da Dan Yu to attack it?" Why can't the Chu army strike first and attack directly to the extreme west? ”

Zhang Yin stuttered, and was even more shocked at this time, speechless, and finally said: "No, no, no Chu Jun." ”

There were only a few hundred Chu troops in the Western Regions, and the construction of the city had to rely on the strength of the countries, and there was no spare strength to attack westward.

"The Western Regions accept the protection of Great Chu, and the armies of various countries are the Chu army." Deng Cui no longer consulted with Zhang Yin, nor did he ask the imperial court for instructions, and went to various countries again, and three months later, he really let him build an army of tens of thousands of people.

At the end of summer, Zhang Yin watched in amazement as a "Chu army" marched west through the unfinished Huju City.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Yin asked.

"Let's take a look, maybe I'll be back in a few days, or maybe three or five months, don't wait for me, build the city quickly, and open the door for me when the time comes."

Deng Cui's style has not changed, the management of the army is not strict, and the troops provided by twenty or thirty countries are still separate teams, which can be said to be chaotic by the standards of the real Chu army.

Zhang Yin finally understood that Deng Cui was not joking, and immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to the imperial court urgently.

All these things happened when the emperor was on his way. (To be continued.) )
