Just when Liaodong was busy with the southern expedition, Fan Yao, the king of Funan, also noticed Liaodong's bad intentions.

When the king of Funan learned that the envoys of Liaodong were carrying out activities in various countries in the South Seas, he realized that the reason why Liaodong had signed the "Non-Aggression Pact" was just a trick.

When the envoy returned to Funan with the "Liaodong and Nanyang Non-Aggression Pact", everyone in Funan was happy and applauded, thinking that they would be able to enjoy the trade between the east and the west in the future.

In the past, Fan Yao was complacent about this, after all, only barbarian vassal countries have always bowed to the great powers, but he didn't expect Funan to force Liaodong to sign a covenant under the city.

Now that he looked back and thought about it, he realized that Liaodong had always had bad intentions towards Funan, and only deliberately signed a treaty with Funan in order to lower his vigilance.

When Liaodong temporarily stabilized Funan, it began to hoard supplies in Yizhou and Zhuya, and sent envoys to divide and win over the Nanyang countries.

"General Fan, is Liaodong really hoarding grain and grass in Zhuya and Yizhou?" Fan Yao asked with a worried face.

"Back to the king, this matter is true! Hundreds of warships of the Liaodong Naval Division are transporting supplies to Yizhou and Zhuya day and night, and more than 10,000 officers and men of the Naval Division are stationed there, sometimes with the intention of going south. ”

"With General Fan's intentions, how should I deal with Funan next? Could it be that Funan must give up the right to trade? ”

"King, even if Funan makes a huge concession now, it is impossible for Liaodong to stop! I have monopolized Nanyang for a long time, monopolizing the trade between the east and the west, and I don't know how many people are jealous. At present, Liaodong frequently moves troops to the south, which just shows that it has the intention of replacing Funan. ”

"I have tens of thousands of sailors and thousands of warships in Funan, are you still afraid that you won't be able to defeat Liaodong?" Fan Yao said unwillingly.

"This ...... It's not that there is no chance? ”

Fan Yao's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"King, isn't the Central Plains in trouble? To put it bluntly, Liaodong is just a local prince, although the strength is strong, and there are Zhu Ya and Yizhou as bases to solve the logistics supply problem, but I am not without the strength of a war. ”

"If the king is not afraid of bearing the consequences, it is better to take advantage of the fact that Liaodong is not ready now, and directly send the main force of the water division to attack the two bases of Zhuya and Yizhou in one fell swoop. As long as the two bases are destroyed, even if they can't destroy the Liaodong Naval Division, they can at least cripple the other party, at least so that they can't pose a threat to Funan in a short period of time! ”

"Huh?! This...... This ......"

Fan Yao was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Fan Li to come up with such a dangerous countermeasure, but he was moved. As Fan Li said, as long as the two bases of Zhuya and Yizhou can be destroyed, they will be able to inflict heavy damage on the Liaodong Naval Division.

"As long as we can temporarily stop the Liaodong Naval Division from going south, we will be able to dominate the South Seas for at least two to three years. At that time, the king made great efforts to make great efforts, taking advantage of the opportunity of trade between the east and the west, to make huge profits, and then to reorganize the armament. In the future, even if the Liaodong Army makes a comeback, Funan is much stronger than it is now, so what can Liaodong do to me? ”

Hearing this, Fan Yao's eyes lit up, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he got up and patted Fan Yao's shoulder and said with relief: "Aiqing is really worthy of being a trusted henchman of the widow, and the plan you proposed is too much to the wishes of the widow." Now it seems that Liaodong sits on Yizhou and Zhuya, although it seems to be a great threat to Funan, but it also puts itself in danger! ”

After that, Fan Yao pointed to a map on the desk and asked, "It's just that the general's vision is too small!" Do you recognize this island? ”

"Isn't this Yizhou?" Fan Li blurted out that with the recent entry of Liaodong into Yizhou, he has not paid much attention to this place.

"That's right, this is Yizhou, although there are natives rampant, but there is also a vast and fertile land.! After listening to the general's words, the widow realized that this was a rare opportunity for Funan in a century! The widow is determined to occupy Yizhou permanently, as long as he has Yizhou, it is equivalent to the main channel of the Liaodong Navy Division to the south. ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean that you plan to turn Yizhou into Funan territory?" Fan Li's eyes lit up after listening to King Funan's explanation.

I saw Fan Yao quite smug and said: "Yes, it is to seize Yizhou for my use!" Since Liaodong has the intention of supporting the south, presumably the main force of its naval division is gathering in Yizhou and Zhuya! Doesn't that give me a chance to attack Funan? If I can destroy the main force of the Liaodong Navy Division in one battle, then Yizhou will become my Funan's bag. ”

"The king is really powerful! Chen Wan admired. It's just that in this way, Liaodong really wants to fight with me to help Nan endlessly! ”

Fan Li listened to King Funan's words and couldn't help but be a little worried. From the previous non-aggression pact signed between Liaodong and Venezue, he vaguely felt that Liaodong was far more difficult than the previous big countries in the Central Plains.

"Of course, Liaodong will not give up Yizhou easily, but as the general said before, the Central Plains is breaking out, and I heard that Liaodong also has enemies on the side, and it is necessary to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, so it will definitely not focus all its energy on the remote and remote Yizhou."

"Besides, Liaodong was born in a cold place, and its soldiers were not suitable for fighting in hot and humid places. In addition, we can also incite the indigenous people of Yizhou to hate the Jin people. In this way, I Funan will occupy the time, place and people at the same time, why worry about the great cause! With that, Fan Yao slammed his fist on the map.

Fan Yao's ambition made Fan Li excited, he had always thought that although the king of Funan was ambitious, he had no talent, but when he looked at it today, he knew that Fan Yao was not a mediocre talent, at least many times stronger than him. With such a king in Funan in power, he will not be able to defeat Liaodong in the future.

Fan Li raised his head and said: "The king's ideals are grand, and the ministers are willing to go to the soup to help the king fulfill his wish, so that you can become a holy king like the king of Funan first." ”

"Okay, with the help of loyal and brave Fan Qing, why don't you worry about the great cause! This matter can't be known to more people for the time being, so it will be handled by Fan Qing alone. Remember that this matter can only succeed and not fail, otherwise what awaits Funan will be a place of no return. ”

"Please rest assured, this matter is to be handed over to the minister, and the minister promises to wipe out the main force of the Liaodong Navy Division in the two bases of Yizhou and Yizhou." Fan Li respectfully and confidently received the order.

……

With the time coming to the beginning of February of the fifth year of Jianxing, after more than half a year of preparation, Liaodong finally kicked off the prelude to the southern expedition. A large number of daily necessities, armor, grain and grass, and soldiers began to arrive at the two bases in Yizhou and Zhuya by sea.

President Liu, the newly appointed admiral of the South China Sea Fleet, has been preparing for the conquest of the South China Sea for most of the past six months, day and night, and does not dare to relax for a moment. Almost all the elites of the Liaodong Naval Division are concentrated here, and the ports of Sanya and Keelung not only station all the main warships that can currently be used for ocean-going operations, but also have the Marine Corps of the Quadrant Naval Division.

When the reporter saw that Mr. Liu picked up his coat and was about to go out, he couldn't help asking, "Lord Admiral, are you going to check the post again?" Isn't it too hard for you to not only be in charge of the training of sailors during the day, but also to check the post at night? ”

"It's always right to be careful, Funan is not a fool, and after a long time, he will definitely find out. Wouldn't it be dangerous if it ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts and launched a sneak attack, and we were negligent? ”

Mr. Liu had just taken charge of the Nanyang Fleet, but he didn't want to become the saddest admiral in the history of the Liaodong Naval Division, so he would naturally be cautious and vigilant. He knew that the strength of the Funan Sailor was not weak, and if it was replaced, he would not be able to let go of this opportunity in front of him.

"Would those barbarians be that daring?" The secretary of the army frowned.

"Who knows? It's not clear to anyone whether Funan dares to attack or not, but it's always right for us to be cautious! ”

Saying that, Mr. Liu walked out alone, and he wanted to check the sentry posts everywhere, and at the same time ask the sailor warship in charge of patrolling if there were any abnormal findings.

Walking in the base, Mr. Liu looked at the bright moonlight swaying on the ground, and then looked at the row of displacement warships moored in the harbor, and couldn't help but be full of pride. No one knows better than him how much the Liaodong Naval Division needs the Battle of Nanyang in order to completely correct the name of the Liaodong Naval Division.

He looked around and found that there were many marines patrolling around the base, and at the same time, there were patrol boats on the sea, which could be said to be heavily guarded. If the Funan Sailor really dares to come to a sneak attack, he will definitely not succeed. Maybe Mr. Liu didn't know that today's vigilance avoided a huge disaster in the future. (To be continued.) )
