Hot summer nights are always hard to endure.

In the gray night, the hot wind makes it difficult to sleep peacefully, and the dense jungle and water network caused by the hot and humid climate of Lingnan are good conditions for countless mosquitoes to breed, and a large number of mosquitoes fly at night, densely scattered in almost every place.

After the battle, the Chen soldiers were in a particularly low mood, although they had used the palm lightning provided by Wang Ze to injure many Linyi elephant soldiers before, and temporarily repelled the first charge of these elephant armies, but the Chen soldiers knew that today they were just surprised to frighten the war elephants who had never encountered such weapons.

When the Linyi Elephant Army is ready for everything tomorrow, it will not be as easy as today to repel it, so whether it is Ouyang Yu, the Grand Governor of the Supreme Commander, or Zhou Wenhua and Mrs. Xian, who have just arrived from nearby to support, they are in a very bad mood.

The soldiers below did not know the troubles of the main generals, and they still honestly used a large number of trees, stones, and dirt at night to build very strong fortifications on the slopes, even if the huge war elephants could hold on for a while.

Piles of bonfires were lit, and there was a large brazier every few tens of meters along the fortifications, which was not only used to light up to prevent the enemy from sneaking up, but also to deter elephants.

At this time, Wang Ze's army also shouldered the defense of a period of fortifications, which was taken care of by Shen Sanshui and Zhao Yong, the most calm under Wang Ze, and several other generals including Guo Erlang, Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu could not fully assume such responsibilities.

Shen Sanshui carefully checked along the small section of fortifications that his army was responsible for, and after finding that there was no problem, he checked the rest and recuperation of the soldiers in each department, and saw that it was almost midnight, so he prepared to return to his big tent.

When he passed by Wang Ze's big tent and saw that the butter wax inside was still burning, he asked several guards on duty at the door, and learned that Wang Ze had not rested and walked in, it turned out that Wang Ze was still reading a few documents.

Wang Ze had already felt Shen Sanshui's arrival, but he didn't care about Shen Sanshui, just nodded at him and asked him to sit down by himself, and then took care of himself to see that he had just received a few pieces of information in his hand after nightfall.

Several pieces of information were sent back from Donghai and Yizhou County, and the information on Yizhou was written by Lin Jin and Lin Jing, the leader of the 'Viper' troops.

After receiving their orders, the 'Viper' troops who were training in Luhan Hancheng (Manila) immediately went to Keelung City, the northernmost part of Yizhou, under the leadership of the leader Lin Jing.

At this time, the desperate 'Divine Tree' tribe that was forced by the 'wild wolf' tribe finally made a decision, and under the leadership of Shen Li's (Ali)'s father, the patriarch, he walked out of the mountains and forests where he had lived for generations, and officially hugged Wang Ze's thigh.

In order to appease the panicked hearts of these alpine natives who had just come out, Lin Jin did not completely disperse them, but settled them on a piece of land near Dazhu (Hsinchu), which will be their future home.

After the 'Divine Tree' tribe was settled, it was to crack down on the 'Wild Wolf' tribe that was expanding rapidly with great ambitions, and the army of Yizhou County only sent 2,000 troops because of its limited number, half of which was the militia and the other side was the infantry led by Liu Fu.

In addition to these being the main forces, there were also two hundred of Lin Jing's 'Viper' troops and about five hundred warriors of the 'Divine Tree' tribe.

Although this army is less than 3,000 people, it relies on excellent armor and weapons, as well as the good fighting skills of the 'Viper' special operations force and the warriors of the 'Sacred Tree' tribe who are especially familiar with this area.

The next day, they arrived at the old land of the 'Divine Tree' tribe, and quickly wiped out more than a thousand 'wolf' tribesmen's troops who had just occupied the old land of the 'Divine Tree' tribe.

Then this army went to the camp of the 'wild wolf' tribe non-stop, and finally it took only half a day to kill more than 3,000 young and strong wild wolves, except for some of the defeated young men who fled, and captured all the other old and weak women and children in the tribe.

This battle had a great impact on the indigenous tribes of Yizhou, and it has long been believed that only the mountain tribes have the fighting power here in Yizhou.

Because in the past, the Han army in Yizhou County only carried out some punitive attacks on some of the plain natives who attacked the Han people, and did not have a large-scale conflict with the mountain tribes, so the local natives in Yizhou did not feel that the Han people were anything great, nor did they feel worthy of fear.

As a result, this time, the Han army of less than 3,000 people, and nearly half of them were ordinary militiamen, was wiped out in just a few days.

At this time, the indigenous tribes on the Yizhou Plain were completely convinced, and they began to be enthusiastic about the Han people living nearby, and even some of the natives simply learned the dress of the Han people and moved closer to the Han people.

However, the Gaoshan tribes of Yizhou have different opinions, and some small and medium-sized tribes have been oppressed and bullied by powerful tribes for a long time, and they have seen that the 'Divine Tree' tribe that has taken refuge in the Han people has been treated so well, so they have also proposed their intention to join the Yizhou County Guardian through the 'Divine Tree' tribe.

This kind of thing naturally got Lin Jin's affirmative answer, Wang Ze had already explained these things to Lin Jin when he left, and he knew how to deal with it.

However, some other tribes with large populations and strong combat effectiveness reacted very strongly, and they all believed that the 'Divine Tree' tribe, which was also from the alpine tribe, should not let the Han Chinese, who are outsiders, interfere even if there is a big contradiction with the 'wild wolf'. Read a book for a long time

So these tribes have threatened to teach a lesson to the 'Divine Tree' tribe that has defected to outsiders without authorization, and the small and medium-sized tribes need the 'Divine Tree' tribe to pass on their own words on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are also afraid that those big tribes will take advantage of themselves, so they have sent a message to the Yizhou County Shoufu.

There were even a few alpine tribes who had a good relationship with the 'Divine Tree' tribe, and they immediately took their own people down the mountain with their hearts, which caused even more commotion.

In order to protect these small tribes, the army of Yizhou united with these small tribes to fight several larger tribes one after another, and dealt them a heavy blow, which strengthened the hearts of those tribes who took refuge in Wang Ze, and the small tribes that took refuge in them are still increasing at a faster rate.

Although the situation in Yizhou is now more chaotic than in the past, no matter what, the alpine tribe of Yizhou was finally split by Wang Ze.

For the Gaoshan tribe of Yizhou, although Wang Ze felt that this was a trouble, it was better than the second intelligence after all.

When he saw the second piece of information, Wang Ze felt a headache, this is something related to Goguryeo, which can probably be divided into two parts, the first is that Goguryeo killed his own protectorate Baekje.

Under the orders of the Goguryeo king Goyang-sung, the Goguryeo general Ulhuiji led an army of 30,000 to quickly cross the border of Baekje with lightning speed, and then quickly conquered the important town of Xiongjin Fortress in the northern part of Baekje, and captured the Baekje king Fuyechang, who had been hiding here since Wang Ze captured Sihyun Fortress.

The 20,000 troops that Buyeo Chang thought he would rely on were demoralized, and they were not even able to resist for a moment, so they all surrendered with their armor unarmed, and were finally successfully absorbed by Goguryeo.

At this time, due to the destruction of Baekje by Wang Ze, the population, wealth, army, and so on were concentrated in the surrounding area centered on Xiongjin Fortress, so the Goguryeo army quickly controlled most of the population of Baekje, and the only remaining part of the population in the south also soon fell into the hands of the Goguryeo army stationed in Gwangju.

After taking control of the Baekje king Buyeochang and the only 20,000 troops of the Baekje state, Goguryeo began to show its fangs, first moving half of the remaining 800,000 or so people in Baekje to the eastern part of Goguryeo and the cities of Liaodong to replenish the population there under the pretext of preventing the Xia army from continuing to attack.

In particular, the cities in Liaodong suggested by Gao Shaocong, the minister of Gao Yangcheng, were the focus of Baekje's population migration, and this time Goguryeo did not have so many ships, so most of them were escorted by the army and rushed to the cities in Liaodong.

Fortunately, at this time, Liaodong had also entered spring, and the weather was not as cold as before, otherwise these Baekje people would have frozen to death on the way before they reached Liaodong.

After seeing the fate of Baekje, the frightened Silla king Jinheung constantly recruited a large number of troops on the pretext of guarding against the Xia army in the East China Sea, and as for which one he was really wary of, the big guys all knew.

Only Wang Ze was very unhappy in his heart, your sister, Lao Tzu is honest here, but you all use Lao Tzu as a shield, see how I repay it in the future.

Goguryeo King Goyangsung was also afraid that after Silla was frightened, his brain would be hot and he would fight to the death, so he summoned the army stationed in Silla back before attacking Baekje, so although Silla was very wary of Goguryeo this time, he did not dare to make any small moves.

Thinking about it, Silla is sad enough now, with the Xia army of the East China Sea to the south and Goguryeo, the overlord of the East China Sea, to the north, both of which are far more powerful than Silla.

Now even Baekje, the only object that can be allied with, has been destroyed by Goguryeo, leaving only a small country of Silla alone between the two overlords of the East China Sea, all of which makes King Jinheung feel sad, manpower is sometimes poor, who moved my cheese?

If Goguryeo suddenly took Baekje and its national strength increased greatly, but Wang Ze's side could only watch and couldn't start, which made Wang Ze very unhappy, another piece of information made Wang Ze nervous.

Not long after Wang Ze arrived in Yizhou, I don't know if the navy of Goguryeo Beisha City noticed something, and actually sent a navy with a scale of more than 30 warships to sail south.

At this time, the Miaodao Islands in the Bohai Strait in the later generations had long been Wang Ze's territory, not only in Changdao there was a naval detachment led by the naval commander Qu Xu, but also in Weihai County, not far to the east, there was also a second fleet led by Qu Liulang, and there were also certain people and troops stationed on this series of islands.

This Goguryeo naval army soon discovered the people living on these islands, so they prepared to attack, and at this time, Qu Xu was increasing his patrol of the sea area here according to Wang Ze's order, and happened to discover this.

As a result, the naval armies of the two sides soon engaged in a skirmish of contact on the sea near Beichenghuang Island, and then reluctantly separated due to a strong wind and waves.

Regardless of whether the Goguryeo people learned that they had eliminated Sun Yu's army before, Wang Ze had to prepare to fight Goguryeo.

The only thing that made Wang Ze happy was that he and Goguryeo did not have a land border at this time, and if the two sides had a big war at this stage, he only needed to give full play to the advantages of his naval army to continuously suppress the naval army of Goguryeo, and then constantly use the naval army to attack the coastal areas of Goguryeo.

It's like constantly bleeding Goguryeo, and it may hold on for a short time, but after a long time, Goguryeo's collapse will be inevitable.
