Time flies, three years are fleeting, and the long river of history is just a tiny wave, but more than three years is enough time for many things to happen. Since Wu Wei quit the war and Sun Ce withdrew from the army and returned to Jianye, the southern expeditionary army that Qiao Ren had been looking forward to finally arrived.

The armies of Buqi and He Qi leveled Ninan almost effortlessly, and at the same time made Funan submit to Wu and pay tribute to Emperor Wu with Wu as the suzerain. Originally, Qiao Ren knew that the so-called Linyi State was nothing more than the Gongcao District Company of Xianglin County, Rinan County, when Emperor Shun led thousands of people from the Zhan tribe to raise troops, attack Xianglin County, and kill the county commander. He then occupied the entire Ilnam-gun, proclaimed himself the "King of Lingeup", and changed his name to Selimoro. At that time, more than 10,000 soldiers from Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County went to conquer. The Han army was afraid of the expedition and mutinied, so Fan Yan was defeated. When the news reached Luoyang, Emperor Shun of Han wanted to send a total of 40,000 troops from Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan to suppress it, but was persuaded by the minister Li Gu, and then the Han court seemed to forget about this remote king who dared to stand on his own.

When the army of Buqi arrived, it was found that the Linyi State, which occupied almost the entire Rinan County, was far from the Yan Baihu Capital in the past, and the army of 20,000 people led by the Linyi King Ou Kuang was almost beaten beyond recognition by He Qi in one face, and many Zhan people were blinded by the dazzling Mingguang armor of the Wu army generals, and they thought that the heavenly generals sitting under the Thunder God Emperor Shakti in the Brahmans were so frightened that they were all urinated, how dare they confront the Wu State.

Buqi destroyed the country in a war, and it took less than a month to occupy the so-called Linyi country, after waiting for Lü Dai's follow-up support and the arrival of the officials dispatched. Buqi stayed in the city for half a year to stabilize the situation, and at the same time to adapt to the climate for the soldiers. However, the living environment of the barbarians under Fei Mu and Shamoke brought by Buqi was not much different from that in Vietnam, but the Han people under He Qi took a little longer. But Buqi also had to accommodate He Qi. Because it is not safe to rely on the barbarians.

After half a year of repair, Buqi's army marched westward and directly pounced on Funan, which was further west of Linyi Kingdom. At that time, Funan was in turmoil. Fan Man, the general of the original mixed clan, died of illness shortly after usurping the throne and becoming self-reliant, and the position of Fan Jinsheng who ascended the throne was not yet secure, and the army of Wu State arrived like a black cloud pressing down on the city.

Originally, the mixed clan of Funan established good diplomatic relations and tributary relations with the Eastern Han court, and it can be said that it was one of the vassal states of the Han court.

Fan Jinsheng can be described as extremely arrogant, facing Bu Qi's questioning. arrogantly shouted to give the Han army a color, but Buqi's army wiped out Linyi, but there are people in Funan who understand that Buqi is completely following me and disobeying me. Therefore, the domestic opposition aristocrat Fan Zhan tangled a large number of anti-war factions to kill Fan Jinsheng and set himself up as king, which was recognized by Buqi, who canonized him as the king of Funan on behalf of the Han family (he didn't know anyway).

Poor Fan Jinsheng was overthrown by his own nobles before he could gather an army. On the other hand, in order to get the support of the big powers, Fan Zhan decided to send an envoy. This envoy is still living in Jianye, because now the Han family is gone. After seeing the strength of the state of Wu, the envoy chose to pretend to be confused and still submitted his credentials to Sun Ce, so he went south to Eastern Wu to claim his ministers and pay tribute.

After Buqi surrendered to Funan, he returned to Jiaozhou. sent a messenger back to Jianye, and Sun Ce, who of Jianye, was overjoyed to learn the news, and immediately canonized the three of Buqi as townsmen (Shamoke was a barbarian king). The county was re-established in Ninan and returned to the arms of Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Lu Dai. The army of Heqi temporarily lived in Zhancheng, and the troops of Fei Mu and Shamoke returned to Guilin for repairs. The commander of the southern expedition, Bu Qi, replaced the deceased Huang Gai as the general of the Shangjun (Long Xiang).

And returned to Jianye one step earlier than Bu Qi. It is the Zhenhai Captain Wei Wen sent by Qiao Ren to the Rest Empire and more than 200 Arabian horses of good breeds, and they are also very humane male and female half, it seems that King Anxi is indeed very attentive. As for the official envoy Kang Tai, he went to the Kushan Empire according to Qiao Ren's request and has not yet returned to China.

In three years, the older generation of generals died after taking the lead, and many veterans such as Huang Gai, the general of the army, Huang Zhong, the Taishou of Hefei, and Zhu Zhi, the hussar general, all died on the sickbed. And Sun Shao, the prime minister of the head of Wenchen, also died a few years ago, and the position of prime minister fell on the head of Qiao Ren's teacher Gu Yong, and Yu Fu, who was hated by the ministers, became the imperial historian. As for the post of Zhongcheng in the imperial history left by him, it was taken over by Liu Ji, the Taishou of Lujiang, and a large number of subordinates cultivated by Qiao Ren all entered the temple. Jingzhou Thorn Shi Pan Jun, Shangjun General Bu Qi, Prince Zuofu Du Lieutenant Zhuge Ke, Shang Shu Servant Jiang Ji, Lieutenant Zhang Wen and so on.

"Lord Lieutenant."

A nameless island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, with sails and shadows, more than 100 warships covering the sea, the sea breeze makes the battle flag hunting sound, and the sound of the waves echoes. Countless samurai in white armor stood by the wind with halberds in their heads in their hands and stood by the side of the ship, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

At this moment, Wei Wen clasped his fists and saluted Qiao Ren, Qiao Ren looked at Wei Wen, who was obviously much darker, he was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in the past, and now he is a general of Zhenhai, but he has only returned to Jianye for less than half a year and is going to go on another expedition, Qiao Ren is somewhat reluctant to go.

"After many years, it is the first time that you have led an army to fight, so you should listen to General Xingba's opinions." Qiao Ren patted Wei Wen on the shoulder and instructed, in the past year, Qiao Ren obviously feels that his mentality is old, but after thinking about it, Qiao Ren is in his sixties and his mental age, can he not be tired in his heart?

"Whoa!"

"And you." Qiao Ren pointed to the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man who was smirking on the side and scolded: "Zhuge Zhi, you are an elder, what is the matter with smirking all the time." ”

"Ah, Captain! The last general knows, how can you be the same as your brother, long-winded. Of course, Zhuge Zhi's last two sentences were just muttering in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell Qiao Ren in person, otherwise George, who was more than eight feet tall behind Qiao Ren, would not be a vegetarian.

The clan brother in Zhuge Zhi's mouth is naturally Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Zhi is Zhuge Xuan's widow, Zhuge Xuan treated Zhuge Jin's three brothers as much as his own life, so Zhuge Jin will not treat Zhuge Zhi badly.

"That's it!" Gan Ning, whose hair was white, was still dressed in a colorful and green ruffian, and at this time he put the Miao knife on his shoulder with a sheath, and walked over, whistling as he walked. "Ziyan, is there really no problem with the map you drawn?"

The purpose of Gan Ning, Zhuge Zhi, and Wei Wen here was an important step in Qiao Ren's overseas strategy back then. Sun Ce took Gan Ning as the main commander as the general of Feng Fubo, the governor of the navy, the governor of Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi, and the four divisions of Xu Yuan and Sun Gao in Taiwan, and crossed the ocean to attack East Yingzhou Island, which was the Kyushu Island of later Japan.

Qiao Ren wanted to take all the four islands of Japan, but Soochow's own huge territory and population were still insufficient, so where could he get the energy to manage Japan, he could only occupy Kyushu Island, which could be reached most safely. Moreover, the geographical location of Kyushu Island is superior, and after the occupation of Soochow, you can take Sanhan, attack the Bohai Sea, and attack Qingzhou.

However, although the current naval warships of Soochow are all based on the drawings of the resting warship brought back by Wei Wen, combined with the original shipbuilding technology of Soochow and the shape of the paddle steamer of the Song Dynasty Navy provided by Qiao Ren, the cabin of Jianye has been made day and night, and has initially possessed the ability to sail in the ocean, but Gan Ning's ocean-going experience is almost zero. Therefore, it is necessary to bring Wei Wen, the only naval commander in Eastern Wu, and Wei Wen has learned a lot of naval aviation experience and the astrology of the Arabs in Anxi, and Wei Wen will not go in the wrong direction if he is in the navy of at least Ganning.

Moreover, Qiao Ren chose the time of sailing in early spring, because there will be no typhoon in the East China Sea in early spring, which can make the Soochow Navy arrive on Kyushu Island relatively safely, but how much time it will take is not something that can be predicted by manpower.

"Xingba, don't worry, the chart that Gu gave you was drawn by Xu Fu when he went to sea and arrived in Yingzhou. But Lone begged it from Zuo Ci Immortal. Qiao Ren was not worried at all that this would be exposed, he had seen Zuo Ci, and Zuo Ci was also the most famous earth immortal at that time, even if Gan Ning believed it, it was impossible to go to Zuo Ci for verification.

"Okay!" Gan Ning shook his cloak very coquettishly and said with a smile: "Anyway, if the map is wrong, Lao Gan will have to go to your palace and drink all your soju." ”

"You!!" Qiao Ren pointed at Gan Ning and couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally said aggrievedly: "Okay!" By the way, there is a Yamatai country on this island that may admire mainland objects and can be used as a puppet. ”

"Such a complicated thing, Lao Gan Ke can't do it, or you can lend me Huang Quan." Gan Ning asked this question more than once, but Qiao Ren never agreed.

However, Qiao Ren has always felt that Gan Ning has made sense, and he has already made arrangements. "Good, good! Gong Heng had already packed up and boarded the ship. By the way, there is a queen in this evil horse country named Himiko, who can make ghosts and bewitch the public, and she will not marry when she is old. She may look like she is in her thirties, but in fact she is an old woman in her sixties. ”

"Good!" Gan Ning turned around impatiently and got on the boat, "Isn't it just that I asked for a few sixteen-year-old concubines a few days ago, as for it?" Lao Tzu is only in his fifties, and he is not yet sixty! The little ones set sail. ”

Gan Ning took the lead and went to the boat without looking back, he was so free and easy, but Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen didn't dare to learn from him, so they hurriedly saluted Qiao Ren and said goodbye, and then hurriedly chased Gan Ning's footsteps.

Qiao Ren stood on the harbor, watching Gan Ning's navy set sail, and at the same time, a fast horse came behind him, but Qiao Ren didn't notice it at all.

The knight on the horse was Qiao Ren's child Qiao Xun, I saw him turn over and dismount in one go, and quickly came to Qiao Ren's side and said, "Father, Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty has died!" (To be continued......)
