The capital of Cochin, Cochin County.

When Zhao Tuo entered South Vietnam, he brought the production technology, etiquette and music education, customs and habits of the Central Plains, and production methods into South Vietnam.

His successors also adhered to the political systems of the Qin and Han dynasties, while adopting policies that incorporated South Vietnamese culture.

As a result, the culture of the Central Plains has gradually penetrated into all corners of South Vietnamese society, culture and life.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Nanyue and established Jiaozhi County, which still continued to promote the culture of the Central Plains in Nanyue.

Then Shi Xie fled south to Liangshan.

Although the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Ninan were separated, these policies of cultural integration were still followed.

Even the Shi family has done a really good job in this aspect in the past few hundred years.

For example, South Vietnamese people are encouraged to intermarry with Han Chinese, run schools to teach the people, promote respect for the elderly, and change customs.

Over the past few hundred years, Cochin has been extremely stable and has developed extremely rapidly.

So much so that the development of Jiaozhi County and the ordinary Dahan County Town is no different.

It was these that gave Liu Ke the idea of annexing the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

Although it is a foreign country, it is indeed a good land.

People have laid a good foundation for you to rule, and they have developed it very well, who will they swallow if they don't swallow him?

Dating back to the legal principles of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this is also a place where the Han Dynasty has existed since ancient times!

The royal palace of the Jiaozhi Kingdom is a Qin-style court.

It was rebuilt by Shixie on the basis of the previous Zhao Tuo's palace.

The floor tiles are even made according to the bricks used in the Qin court buildings, and their patterns are the same as the floor tiles of the Qin palace in Xianyang.

The current Xianyang Palace can't see the slightest shadow in Chang'an.

And in the Jiaozhi, you can find the eyebrows of the Xianyang Palace in the Qin period.

There are even some remote places that still use the Qin-style hexadecimal system.

Jiaozhi Wang Shihai is relatively young, he only inherited the throne five years ago, he has no big ambitions, and he has fun all day long.

However, this does not delay the country of Jiaozhi to enjoy food and eat all the time, this place has been developed for many years, and it is too rich.

Shihai was happy with the concubines in the palace, and suddenly Xiang Guogao hurriedly entered the palace to ask for a meeting:

"King, the Han army is sending troops to attack across the sea, it is imminent, and please make a quick decision to the king!!"

"Huh?!"

Shi Hai was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand from the milky white snow, and his face was horrified:

"Didn't we send troops to fight Qiongzhou?"

"Why did the Han army send troops to attack Jiaozhi?"

Shihai was completely confused, and the Great Khan of Donghu wanted him to fight the Great Han, but because of the strength of Donghu, he ordered to send troops.

But what's going on now?

Before he hit the big man, the big man came over?

Gao Rang's facial features are neat, and he looks like an honest man, but there is a trace of gloom hidden between his eyebrows:

"The Han Emperor personally conscripted, saying that he led 80,000 troops to attack across the sea."

"80,000 ??!"

Shihai's whole person was panicked, his face was bloodless, and he almost fell to the ground in fright.

With the ability of the Han Emperor, he didn't use 80,000 soldiers and horses to fight Donghu, how can he do it!

"The Han Emperor personally conquered, or 80,000 soldiers and horses?!!"

"How are you going to fight this! Why don't we vote! We are a great Han country, and it is not appropriate to use troops! ”

"No!"

Gao Rang sternly refused, and analyzed it bit by bit for Shihai:

"Your Majesty doesn't know about military affairs, and he doesn't know anything about the Han Dynasty."

"Why did the previous ministers repeatedly advise His Majesty to obey the Great Khan of Donghu and send troops to Qiongzhou?"

Shihai subconsciously spoke:

"Donghu is too strong, we have to be dogs for the Donghu people."

But seeing that Gao Rang still bowed down and didn't move, he thought about it seriously and asked tentatively:

"This king remembers, is it because of the lack of grain in Qiongzhou?"

"Exactly."

Gao Rang sighed and nodded slowly:

"Qiongzhou is short of grain, even if it is forcibly requisitioned from the people or forcibly taken from the family, in a short period of time, it will not be able to raise enough grain and grass to supply 80,000 soldiers and horses."

"In addition to people eating and horses chewing, we also have to meet the supply of people, and the grain and grass are extremely tight."

Shihai put his hand on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, smelling that the fragrance was still there, revealing a silly face, and then scratched his head:

"That's fake news? The Han army didn't attack at all? ”

"Dahan just released fake news and wanted to deceive us."

"Let's see that the situation is not good, recall the soldiers and horses to be on the defensive, and delay the dispatch of troops to Qiongzhou."

"So that Qiongzhou can spend the autumn harvest season safely, so that the Han will have a chance to breathe, and once the autumn harvest is over, after the tax is levied, there will be grain."

"In this way, we can easily deal with the offensive of our army."

What Shihai said was serious, but Gao Rang denied it:

"This matter categorically cannot be faked, the Han army has already crossed the sea to attack, although the specific soldiers and horses do not know, but it will never exceed 40,000."

"Forty thousand Han troops?"

Shihai patted his chest, walked around the palace, and suddenly stopped:

"Then let's vote."

Gao Rang frowned, why was this king disobedient?

He persuaded bitterly:

"The king is the king of a country, how can there be any reason to surrender without a fight?"

Shihai also frowned at the same time.

He couldn't afford much resistance in his heart.

Half a year ago, he even had the idea of getting a piece of the pie, and now he is a big man?

Forget it.

When Gao Rang persuaded him to send troops before, he said that the Han army was about to run out of food, and he took the opportunity to send troops across Liangshan to take Gaozhou and Qiongzhou, which could not only win the favor of the Donghu people, but also expand the territory.

He did agree, and he had some ideas in his mind.

But how long has it been since the troops were dispatched?

As soon as the grain and grass were prepared, the Jiaozhi army had not yet crossed Liangshan, and the Han Emperor slammed it over with a backhand!

Even if only 40,000 soldiers and horses take the initiative to send troops, then there is no shortage of food at all!

Emperor Han had this kind of means of conjuring grain and grass out of thin air, what else to fight?

When the Donghu Southern Army was fought before, there were only 50,000 forbidden troops, and there were not many casualties against the Puliuru Division.

Of course, there is no problem with the soldiers and horses who are negligent in training, and they fall into the well and beat some Han troops who have run out of food.

But how can you please the Han Emperor who drove the royal conquest in person?

Not to mention the 40,000 army, before the Han Emperor collected the two thieves in the South China Sea, he used 8,000 people.

Fighting Yizhou, there are only 8,000 Han troops and pirates who have just been subdued!

Looking at it this way, it is better to surrender without a fight than to surrender after destroying the country, and the treatment is better, right?

can also have a good reputation for keeping the people safe, and you can be a rich man when you lose your country.

Shihai had his own ideas, but he was really annoyed by Gao Rang's persuasion, and seeing that Gao Ran was like this, he simply said:

"Gao Xiangguo, what should I do!"

Gao Rang took a few steps forward and whispered: "The king is still young and doesn't know about military affairs, so he can leave it to his ministers to resist the Han army." ”

"The king can live in the deep palace, it is enough to listen to the reports of his subordinates, and with the assistance of the talents of the court, he will definitely be able to stop the Han army."

"In addition, if you really can't resist it, even if you lose, the king can also share it with Emperor Han."

"Just blame the ministers for the blame, and bluntly say that this is the opinion of the ministers, and the king is not involved, so he can keep his peace."

Shi Haiden smiled:

"This is good! This king will issue an edict to make them all listen to you! ”

He thought about it, and if he didn't resist, he would vote, and he always felt a little ashamed, and he was sorry for his ancestors.

But if you resist greatly, you may not be able to win, what if the Han Emperor asks for guilt afterwards?

The Han Emperor killed people, but he was merciless.

This asks if the sin is cut down, and after the scholar family is extinct, won't he be even more sorry for the ancestors?

Now Gao Rang is willing to carry this pot on his back, it's just great!

Shihai immediately issued an edict in handwriting, although he seemed to be able to do that, but his handwriting was quite good, and Xiao Yuan often read it and was afraid that he still wanted to learn from each other.

With Shihai's edict, Gao Rang didn't say much and retreated.

He did not use the power of the edict to pour out for a while, but really convened the capable civil and military in the court to discuss things:

"Our army can send 50,000 troops, and among the civilian South Vietnamese, there are about 30,000 who can fight and are strong."

Gao Rang was not afraid of the Han army.

Although there are few regular troops in the country of Jiaozhi, the indigenous people of South Vietnam are really strong, and they are extremely familiar with the terrain, and they are like walking on flat ground over mountains and mountains, which is a point where they are stronger than the Han army.

If it was an offensive war, he was still a little worried.

But if it was a defensive war, those South Vietnamese natives would inevitably mobilize themselves and spontaneously resist the Han army.

This is 80,000 soldiers who can fight, and counting the soldiers of various counties and counties, there is no fear of 40,000 or 50,000 Han troops.

Even if you lose the battle, you can always defend the city!

Gao Rang continued:

"The Han army came to attack, and the emperor drove the expedition in person, coupled with the information sent by the Great Khan of Donghu before, the desperate approach of the Han obviously means that there is a huge problem in logistics."

"In the three counties of the country, how much grain is left?"

Gao Rang asked a member of the Wenchen Lu Sa.

This person is ugly, but he is good at remembering, and all kinds of miscellaneous things played every day are memorized, and the grain stored in the county town can naturally be recorded.

Lu San responded:

"Rinan County and Jiuzhen County have 140,000 stone and 120,000 stone grain stocks respectively, and in Jiaozhi County, there are 200,000 stone."

"There is no record of private grain stockpiles, but last year was a bumper year, and there are not a few private grain stockpiles."

"In this way, just looking at the grain stored in each county town, there should be about 500,000 stones."

Gao Rang confirmed it again, and Lu Jian gave a more detailed distribution of grain storage in various granaries in each county.

Hearing that there was abundant food, he also settled down when he was engaged in civil and military affairs.

One person eats one stone a month.

Even if you count the people's husbands, cattle and horses, and 500,000 stone grains and grass, it is enough to last for a long time.

The Han army doesn't have to be afraid to attack, even if it can't be defeated, it can be defended!

However, Gao Rang's face was not a little happy, but his face was more solemn, and he continued to ask:

"How many acres of distant cultivated land that the soldiers and horses in the country, the county and the county soldiers, can't take care of?"

"Less to say there are millions of acres ......"

Lu Xiao subconsciously replied, and then realized that something was wrong, and suddenly realized:

"Xiangguo thinks that the Han army came to attack in a hurry in order to grab the grain outside the city before our autumn harvest?"

Gao Rang nodded heavily. Complex:

"It must be so!"

"There is a shortage of grain and grass in Qiongzhou, and although a certain amount of grain and grass can be raised to send troops, it is extremely difficult to supply grain and grass under long-term warfare."

"And I heard before that the Han Emperor even robbed pirates, and he would definitely not let my country harvest in peace!"

"Our army sent troops into Qiongzhou, and we had to worry about the destruction of the fields, and it was the Han who was unfavorable for the autumn harvest."

"And the Han army is entering Jiaozhi, we should worry about this, but it's us!"

Yiying Ben still felt relieved to discuss the civil and military, and shouted that he was going to suffer.

I didn't expect Emperor Han to have this hand.

Is this for the sake of fighting?

This is rushing to grab the autumn harvest grain!

I thought before that if I couldn't beat it, I would defend it.

What are you guarding now?

Once on the defensive, this year's autumn harvest was snatched away by the Han army!

The grain stock of 500,000 stone should not only be supplied to the army, but also to the people!

Only relying on those acres of land that can be taken care of to collect grain and pay taxes, it is a drop in the bucket!

Speaking of which, everyone knows the danger of the matter, and also knows one thing.

The Han was short of food, and either foreign trade or foreign plunder.

And the Jiaozhi State happened to be at this juncture, obeying the will of the Great Khan of Donghu to send troops, which just gave people an excuse!

So, it became the object of looting!

But they couldn't say anything, after all, they had been going to do it before.

How can the two countries fight and let each other have a smooth autumn harvest, this is not the Spring and Autumn Period when the wheels are stuck in the pit and the soldiers of the enemy country help carry the car!

The Han people are treating them in the same way as others.

Thinking of this, all the civil and military officers had a sad look on their faces, and they all looked at Gao Rang and said:

"Gao Xiangguo has a good plan to save my military and civilians?"

Gao Rang looked at the map and commanded:

"The sailors immediately went to sea, even if they couldn't block the Han army at sea, they must slow down the landing of the Han army."

"It is best to postpone it until after the autumn harvest, during which time we can pay close attention to the movements of the Han warships, and once we have a specific landing intention, we will immediately return to me."

"The Han army must not be allowed to land easily!"

Jiaozhi had a water division, and when it was still a Nanyue country, in order to deal with the pressure of the Han Wu army later, he tried his best to establish an elite water division.

The South Vietnamese people's long-standing shipbuilding skills were also cultivated at that time.

In addition, there are many dense forests in the country, and there is no shortage of wood, so there are also sailors.

It's just not too much, there has been no war for many years, and it has saved 8,000 family funds.

"Yes!"

Immediately, one of the generals took the order and left.

Gao Rang continued:

"In addition, transfer the soldiers of Jiuzhen and Rinan counties to change their guards, Lu Sa, you go in person."

"Yes!"

This is not a trivial matter, the county soldiers are all locals, if you see that the Han soldiers are unstoppable, in order to protect yourself and protect your family property, maybe you will vote.

Quickly transfer the soldiers of the two counties to make the defense of the county more stable.

Everyone thought that Gao Rang still had orders, but after seeing Gao Rang, they were silent.

Someone asked: "Gao Xiangguo, why did the war stop now that the war is urgent?" ”

Gao Rang frowned tightly and nodded at the place of Ninan County:

"The Han army goes by sea and land, and Jiaozhi County is heavily defended near the port, so it will definitely not choose to land nearby."

"It's more likely to be in the port east of the unguarded Nichinam-gun."

The general was even more puzzled:

"Since you know that the Han army has landed at the port, why didn't Xiangguo deploy it earlier?"

"Or do the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, grab the grain, and let the Han army's plan fail!"

"There are too few troops in the country, and the separate garrison will only be broken by division, and clearing the field is also the next strategy."

"The most important thing now is to slow down the advance of the Han army."

Gao Rang continued: "Although it is very urgent, it is not urgent. ”

"Only when the route of the Han army is determined and then obstructed by a large army can there be a chance of victory."

"At that time, even if the Han army can barely supply grain and grass, or even take away the autumn harvest grain and grass first, the climate, terrain, and mosquitoes will be difficult for the Han army to overcome!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Indeed, the number of Jiaozhi soldiers and horses is not dominant, and the armor is definitely not as strong as the Han army.

Especially in terms of generals, the Han Emperor personally conquered, which was too terrifying.

That's the man who can fight Zhang Huaiyang, the general of the Donghu Southern Army, who is defeated and retreated, burned down the Puliuru Naval Division, and forcibly turned the Han Dynasty into a living situation!

Every general here felt a little stunned when they heard that they were going to face Emperor Han before.

There are many forests in Jiaozhi, if the Han Emperor burns a fire, wouldn't he be able to burn them clean?

If you still divide your troops at this time, it will be tantamount to self-destruction.

And Gao Jean has now reassured their hearts.

You don't have to fight a tough battle.

It's just one word, drag.

As long as the time drags on long enough, even if the Han army can still supply grain and grass, the Donghu side will react and hit the weakened rear of the Han Dynasty.

The grain harvested in autumn will instead attract the Han army, seduce the Han army to forcibly march and stay in the field.

And at this time, the climate and geography of Jiaozhi will also become the grave of the Han army!

I heard that after the Han Emperor ascended the throne, he did not build a mausoleum.

That Jiaozhi will become the mausoleum of the Han Emperor!
