Chapter 856: Small Country, Tremble
After capturing a foreign military port outside Tunyue City, Lu Xun and his Chu army seemed to be unable to clean up.
An army of more than 30,000 people, of which 20,000 was led by Fang Dao, took the 14,000 Yan army Yang Fan who surrendered to the sea and attacked another naval base of the Yan State, Xiping.
Among them, the army of 12,300,000, led by Lu Xun and Lu Meng himself, radiated outward in a fan-shaped style, with Tunyue as a center.
Cities, villages, and villages where they passed. All of them were the targets of the Chu army's looting.
It's better to encounter villages, the Chu army only looted the rich households, of course, it was only to plunder the grain that the rich households could bear, not to kill people and plunder. When you encounter a city, you will plunder the government and the treasury.
Gold and silver, money, grain, everything.
Xiping.
That is, when Fangdao first sailed, it arrived at another port in the south of the Liaodong Peninsula.
This port has an extraordinary significance to Fang Daolai, since arriving here, Fang Dao has begun to have a distinct beginning, and now it is a general.
Seal the customs and lead the navy of 20,000 to defend one side.
It was because of his rice that he overcame all kinds of difficulties and led the fleet to Xiping. But today, Fang Dao wants to occupy this port and then settle here.
Absorb and reduce costs, and look forward to Lu Xun and Lu Meng plundering countless materials to return, and Yang Fan went to sea again to Zhenfan.
Soon, about 150 large sea ships controlled by Fang Dao reached the vicinity of Xiping.
Countless fishermen along the way looked at this large group of warships in amazement, even with the strength of the Liaodong naval army, it is rare to see such a huge scale of sea ships.
The fishermen were largely illiterate, and they did not know what was hung on the bow of the boat, such as the Chu "character handsome flag, and ...... If there is anything wrong with the word "Yan", they only think it is the army of Yan.
Many people bowed down in their boats. I don't know that this period is the darkest day of the Yan State, and the large-scale invasion of the Chu State has arrived.
Lu is all over the royal road, and he generally does not commit any offense against the common people, especially the poor people. Fang Dao has also learned a lot during these days, and he has not done anything to these fishermen.
They headed directly for the port
At this moment, Xiping Port has not received the news that Tunyue has been breached, and they are still living a peaceful life.
It's just that the days are a little calm and scared, so that the soldiers can't lift their spirits. In the past, the state of Chu and the state of Yan carried out the trade of war horses and grain, and they got the moon first because of the proximity to the water.
The whole army can get a lot of benefits, and since some time ago, after Gongbei Kang ordered to stop trading with the Chu army, their lives have become ordinary and have no income.
The morale is relatively large.
"Tsk? Merchant vessel? Is it a merchant ship of the Chu army? "Many of the soldiers stood listlessly on the ship this day. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier noticed that there was a fleet in the south, and he was startled at first, but after a while, he pointed at it excitedly.
He was also illiterate, but he could distinguish the word 'Ruchu'.
"It's really the caravan of the Chu State, it's really the caravan of the Chu State. Whoever is who, hurry up and report to the general. When the other soldiers saw it, they immediately became excited and couldn't help shouting.
Immediately, some men were separated from the soldiers, jumped out of the boat, spread their feet, and rushed to the tent not far from the son.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency."
The rest also came to the shore, waving their arms endlessly, and shouting out to their mouths.
"Huh?" On the bow of the boat, Fang Dao saw the enthusiasm of Yan Jun in the distance, and hummed lightly, a little surprised, and then said with a smile: ...... If you might be able to do it again, you might be able to do it again. β
Even he didn't expect that the soldiers in the Xiping area of the Yan State, who had not traded for a long time, would be so enthusiastic about the ships of the Chu State.
But that's fine.
In the end, there were also fifty guards in the Xiping area, and if there was a war, there would be losses. It's best if you don't have a bloody blade.
With this in mind, Fang Dao ordered: "Lean over slowly, don't show your murderous intentions." β
"No." The herald beside him made a promise, and then began to wave the flag. After Fang Dao's order was passed on, most of the soldiers on the ship entered the cabin, hiding the killing motive and picking their teeth.
On the other side, the soldier who went to the Yan army's military tent to report also reached the outside of the military tent.
"General, we have discovered the fleet of the Chu State. , the soldier reported outside the door, and the excitement in his voice could not be hidden.
"Strong?"
Inside the big tent, a surprised voice sounded, and then a middle-aged man walked out. This middle-aged man has a slender physique and looks weaker.
The breath of a literati is more than that of a military general.
In fact, this middle-aged man is a literati named Chen Kang, who is good at taking measures for government affairs. At the beginning, the trade between Chu and Yan could be a grand occasion. So, Gong Beikang replaced the guards here with Chen Kang.
The reason why Chen Kang was surprised was because Gongsun Kang had a clear order, and the order was not allowed to trade war horses in the Chu State. He, a man of letters, is also about to leave his post and be replaced by another military general to take command of the navy.
I didn't expect that at this juncture, there was actually a caravan from the Chu army coming over.
However, Chen Kang's heart was still mostly happy, as a civil official, he wanted to see the strength of the Yan State, and the trade between the Chu State and the Yan State was mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial.
Even if war horses are not traded, all kinds of leather, rare treasures, some Liaodong native products, and so on can be exchanged with the grain of the Chu State.
Not only can it be official trade, but it can even be used for private trade, prospering both sides.
Now that the fleet of the Chu State has arrived unexpectedly, Chen Kang's heart is still mostly happy.
"Let's go," the old man personally went to greet him." After a sound, Chen Kang led his own soldiers to the target of the Chu fleet. By the time Chen Kang arrived, Fang Dao had already led some of his soldiers down.
"The old man is the general here, I don't know who the general is?" Chen Kang didn't realize that this was a large-scale invasion of the Chu State, and after seeing Fang Dao, he hugged his fists.
"Capture." Fang Dao smiled slightly and said.
"No."
The soldiers behind him made a promise and immediately rushed forward.
And at this moment, Chen Kang was still a little immersed in what Fang Dao's sentence meant...... Leng Shen was caught by Fang Dao's personal soldiers. Because the incident happened too suddenly, the many soldiers and soldiers behind Chen Kang didn't have time to stop it.
"What's going on, what does the general mean by this?" When he was caught, Chen Kang changed color and asked.
"When Gong Cho Kang was called the marquis, he also wrote to respect the king of Chu as the king, but now he has blatantly torn up the covenant of the monarch and the minister to check and balance the growth of the cavalry of our Chu State. Naturally, I was ordered by Jun Chu to come to seek justice. Fang Dao smiled slightly when he heard this, and said.
"What?" Chen Kang was almost stupid when he heard this.
There is such a thing in the world...... With an army thousands of miles away, Yang Fan attacked another country. That's a lot of long supply lines.
Is this the monarch of the Chu State, the officials crazy, or is he crazy?
No matter how unbelievable Chen Kang was, he was caught. The lord will be arrested, plus Fang Dao's sudden stupe, and soon, under the command of Fang Dao, the five cadres army in this area will be surrendered.
In this way, together with the 14,000 troops they captured in Tunyue, there were nearly 20,000 captives. This group of captives only needs to be reorganized, and then they will be bought with a lot of money.
It is the second of the Chu army.
In this way, they had an army of fifty or sixty thousand. Gaining a foothold is not a problem at all.
"Is this what it's like to expand your territory? I'm going to add another state. After controlling Xiping, Fang Dao stood on the seashore, stretched out his arms, faced the sea breeze, and said a little intoxicated.
At the beginning, he and the two Iraqis exterminated the indigenous people in Taiwan, which was actually a kind of territorial expansion. But it has never been as strong as it is today.
Because they want to attack the three countries of Sanhan, the four counties of Dahan, and the territory of one state, which is by no means the same as the original Taiwan.
Fang Dao knew that if the plan came true. He, Lu Xun, LΓΌ Meng and others are bound to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, standing here to compete with the Gongsun clan for Liaodong.
and even annexed the Gongsun clan, thus attacking Cao Wei from the north. Compete with Youyanzhou Zhang Liao.
β¦β¦
About 500 miles south of Xiangshi, there is a city.
This city is already very close to Xiangping, because the geographical location is still important and relatively prosperous. In the past, it was Gong Beikang's own brother Gong Beigong as the lord of the city and as the ruler.
But today, the city has ushered in a catastrophe.
I don't know where a Chu army broke through the city, killed Gongsun Gong, and hung the head of Gongbei Gonggong on the city.
Gongsun Gong's eyes widened, and there was still some disbelief in his eyes.
Obviously, I don't believe that the army of Chu will kill here, but the army of Chu is indeed here, and the debt is coming.
In addition to the head of Gongsun Gong, the handsome flag of "Chu" was also hung on the head of the city. The people of the entire city, officials, etc., all trembled under this handsome banner.
Because behind this flag is a huge country, a big enough to be on a par with Cao Wei. This big country is definitely not something that Yan can be.
What they Yan were good at was only relying on the desert to resist Cao Wei's land attacks. And when they lost this advantage, the army of Chu could directly reach Liaodonghou.
A country like theirs can only tremble.
Just like Fang Dao, when Gongsun Kang was called the Marquis of Yan, he once went to the official document and asked to be a courtier. I am willing to respect the country of Chu as the kingdom of Shang, and respect the monarch of Chu as the king of Shangjun
But when the state of Chu and Cao Wei were in the war, they gained the upper hand. Gongsun Kang brazenly tore up the covenant.
Stab in the back. Kou Feng, the monarch of the State of Chu, is an expert, and he will not spurn Gongsun Kang. However, the national strength of the Chu State, the army will make Gongsun Kang understand a matter.
Treachery must also be supported by sufficient strength, and without strength, treachery will definitely bring unimaginable revenge.
It's like today's Yan land, where beacon fires are burning everywhere.
This time, it must not be the invasion of the Chu State. It was the warship of Chu that brought the prestige of the Chu State from the south to the north, making the whole of East Asia tremble under the prestige of the Chu State
