Chapter 1700: Dealing with the Samhans
Cho Shuo led the navy to stay on Jeju Island for one night, and the next morning he sent an order to Samhan.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sanhan was still in slavery, and its national strength was declining, and it was impossible to organize a decent army.
The Cao family's navy landed, but it only encountered sporadic resistance, the most tragic battle, and Benhan only gathered more than 1,000 horses.
The 1,000 men and horses, who were poorly equipped and had no tactics at all, were nothing to mention in front of the more than 10,000 navies led by Cao Shuo.
He led the navy to advance inland to Samhan, and it didn't take long for Cho Shuo to occupy Benhan.
When Cho Shuo occupied Benhan, the news that he had obtained the stone tablet and the Donghae Shentie from Jeju Island had spread all over the world.
Cao Cao, who was in Yecheng, of course, also got the news.
After retiring from the scout, Cao Cao asked Xun, who was sitting opposite him, "What does Wen Ruo think Zirong has obtained these things?" ”
"What Cao Gong asked was nothing more than the word providence." Xun said: "The so-called providence of heaven means that Gongzi's crusade against Sanhan and Liaodong conform to the will of heaven, and he will definitely be able to become the great Han and make great contributions to the revitalization of the Han family." ”
"Wen Ruo really thinks so?" Cao Cao asked.
"In addition to this explanation, is there a better explanation for Cao Gong?" Xun asked Cao Cao.
Cao Cao laughed, nodded at him and said, "Wen Ruo, what you say now is half and half left, which makes people so elusive." ”
"Cao Gong." Xun stood up, clenched his fists and bowed to Cao Cao and said: "Now that the power of the imperial court is in the hands of Cao Gong alone, the strength of the Cao family is indeed of great benefit to pacifying the world. However, Childe got these things, and I'm worried about ......"
"There's nothing to worry about." Before Xun finished speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand to him: "Zirong is my son, I can't know him better." If he really had a disobedient heart, he would have done it a long time ago, where would he wait until now? ”
Cao Cao's words made Xun feel a little more relieved.
He clenched his fists and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "With Cao Gong's words, I will be relieved." ”
"There have been a lot of things lately, and you and I haven't been able to talk about a game." Cao Cao asked, "Would you like to play a game with me?" ”
"Gong Cao has Yaxing, of course I will accompany you." Xun Yingdao.
At the same time, Cho Shuo, who had completely occupied Benhan, was sitting in the palace of the king of Benhan.
Samhan was still in the backward era of slavery, and of course the royal palace could not be as luxurious as the imperial palace in the Central Plains, and it was not even comparable to the residences of high-ranking officials in the Central Plains.
Sitting in the palace, Cao Shuo was accompanied by the state to count the household registration, and Deng Zhan walked in from outside.
"Childe." Clenching his fists and bowing, Deng Zhan greeted.
"Has the King of Benhan been found?" Cao Shuo asked.
"I didn't find it." Deng Zhan said: "But someone saw him fleeing to Mahan. ”
"I didn't expect Benhan to be so weak." Cao Shuo said: "Since our army landed, they haven't even put up a decent resistance. ”
"The gap between Sanhan and the Central Plains is more than three to five hundred years." Guo Jia said: "It is not difficult to defeat Benhan in the first place. ”
"It's a pity that their king ran away." Cao Shuo said: "The population of the little Benhan is not very large, and most of them are slaves. ”
"What are Childe's plans?" Guo Jia asked.
"Transfer people from the Central Plains and teach them to speak the Han language." Cao Shuo said: "Gather all those who have oppressed slaves and cut off their heads, and tell the slaves that from now on, they will no longer have to be enslaved by anyone." ”
"Childe really plans to do this?" Guo Jia said: "The Samhan people have always been arrogant, and although they have nothing, they have always considered themselves a powerful country. Childe taught them too many things, but I was afraid ......"
"I understand what it means to be filial piety." Cao Shuo said: "With the temperament of the Sanhan people, they can only be slaves. But after all, we want to occupy this place, and eventually merge this place into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it is obviously not appropriate to enslave the natives here as before. Bring people from the Central Plains, teach them the language of the Han people and some other things that are not very important, and wait until we break through Liaodong, and then move some Liaodong people here. For the Sanhan people to also migrate to Liaodong, where will there be Sanhan people in the long run? ”
"I thought Childe would treat Izumo like he did with Izumo." Guo Jia smiled slightly: "I was planning to send herbs from the Central Plains ......"
"That's not necessary." Cao Shuo said: "The Izumo people are warlike and savage, and the most important thing is that they are diligent and unhesitating, unlike the Sanhan people who are lazy. If you leave people behind in the clouds, sooner or later it will become a disaster for the Central Plains. Samhan, on the other hand, has no other merits than self-righteous courage beyond the rest of the world. Keeping them will be somewhat useful until they are completely integrated, and it is much better than destroying them all. ”
"I understand Childe's intentions." Guo Jia held a roster in both hands and handed it to Cao Shuo: "Here are all Benhan nobles, most of them have been captured by us, and we ask Gongzi to show them." ”
"Feng Xiao has already counted the roster, and I don't have to look at it anymore." Cao Shuo stood up and instructed Deng Zhan: "Find someone who understands Sanhan to come over, and I will personally supervise the former Benhan nobles." ”
Deng Zhan stepped back in response.
Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao will accompany me for a trip." ”
Guo Jia got up and walked out of the room after him.
Since Samhan is very backward, their city is also very small.
Not far from the palace, Cao Shuo came to the place where the Benhan people disposed of death row prisoners.
There were already two or three hundred well-dressed men and women on their knees.
In addition to these people, there was also a crowd of onlookers who were pressed by the black.
The onlookers were all dressed in rags, young and old, with traces of ropes on their wrists and ankles.
By occupying this place, Cao Shuo untied them, but there are still traces of them today, which clearly shows that they lived in bondage every day.
Although there were many onlookers, their faces were full of fear.
Even when the well-dressed people were bound to their knees, they trembled with fear.
With his hands on his hips, Cao Shuo shouted: "The people of Sanhan, the people who were once enslaved, do you recognize this group of people kneeling here? ”
Of course, he spoke the language of the Han Chinese, and immediately someone translated his words into three Korean.
A voice was heard from the crowd.
The person in charge of the translation said to Cao Shuo: "Qi Yu Gongzi, he said that these people are their masters. ”
"Can anyone stand up and tell me what these people have done to you?" Cao Shuo shouted again.
After Cao Shuo's words were translated, the crowd fell silent, and the people in ragged clothes looked at each other one by one, and no one dared to stand up.
