Chapter 152: The Kingdom Remains
This reason is sufficient enough for Guo Jia to raise any objections, and he is very much in favor of it. As a www.biquge.info result, the army left Jiuzhen and marched westward, led by Zu Lang to open the way with 15,000 Cham troops, Dian Wei led 30,000 slang troops to respond from the side, and Wei Xuan led 50,000 Chu troops to the palace. However, there were only 49,000 people left with the accompanying people, because 1,000 people remained in the district cottage.
That night, the Cham army captured a dwarf black tribe. It was a relatively large tribe with more than 600 people. But even such a tribe is completely negligible in terms of strength compared to the large army of the guards. The Cham army barely suffered a single casualty, capturing the entire dwarf black tribe, young and old.
Wei Xuan was also very curious when he saw a dwarf black man for the first time.
If we distinguish according to the different stages of social development, the Han Dynasty was in a feudal society, and the dwarf blacks were in a primitive society. It's tropical, and the temperature in winter is around 25 degrees, so the dwarf blacks don't have to wear clothes, and they don't know how to sew clothes. In front of thousands of strangers, they are not ashamed, but a little afraid.
Dwarf blacks have only language, not writing. But Wei Xuan's god fetus is an automatic translator, so there is no problem with communication, and he quickly figured out the habits of dwarf blacks. The tropics are abundant, and the dwarf blacks mainly live by eating a variety of tropical fruits, and occasionally hunt. Their hunting tools were simple sticks and stones, and they did not know how to use fire, so they lived a life of drinking blood. From the captured dwarf black population, Wei Xuan learned the location of the other dwarf black tribes.
For the captured dwarf blacks, Wei Xuan divided them into two parts. Men, young and old, were allowed to carry sticks and stones as vanguards, driven by the Cham army to attack other dwarf black tribes. The women were grouped together and placed under the care of the military and civilian husbands, who waited until the end before being distributed.
Conflicts often broke out between the dwarf black tribes, and these dwarf black people were simple-minded, since they could not defeat the Cham army, they could only act according to the orders of the Cham army, and they did not even have the slightest intention of resisting.
The jungle was constantly fighting each other between the dwarf black tribes, and as the dwarf black tribes were wiped out one by one, the dwarf black vanguard troops of Weixuan became stronger and stronger, and more and more dwarf black women were concentrated. Five days later, when they arrived in Funan, there were more than 20,000 dwarf black forwards, and as many as 40,000 dwarf black women. For five days, it is unknown how many dwarf black tribes disappeared in this jungle.
Funan is a small country, so small that there is only one earthen city. Because there are only dwarf blacks around, and it is impossible for dwarf blacks to pose a threat to them, the walls of the earthen castle in Funan are very low, and there are several places that have even collapsed due to the rainy season, and they have not had time to repair. Of course, Wei Xuan would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately ordered the dwarf black striker to attack.
The Khmers, who founded the state of Funan, were in slave societies, just like their predecessors, the Ailao people. Funan had little connection with the Han and Chen Li, and their slaves came mainly from going to the jungle to capture dwarf blacks.
Seeing a large number of dwarf blacks suddenly rushing towards their city, the Funan soldiers defending the city could hardly believe their eyes. If there were so many dwarf blacks in the jungle, the Funan soldiers might still be afraid, but this is the plain. The dwarf blacks were poorly equipped and wore no armor, and were simply slaves sent to the door. And for them, slaves were also an important asset.
The soldiers of Funan rushed out of the city without waiting for orders, and the news spread quickly, and even many of the civilian men in the city took up arms and rushed out. They didn't want to defend their homeland and country, they had only one goal, and that was to capture a few more slaves.
Seeing that the two sides were about to engage in close combat, there was a sudden sound of gongs. The dwarf blacks who were rushing forward stopped and turned to run.
It turned out that during the past five days, Wei Xuan did not forget to conduct simple training for the dwarf blacks, so that they could understand what it meant to advance when the drum was beaten and the gold was retreated. The dwarf black man is simple-minded, does not think too much about gains and losses, but executes these orders to the letter, like a reflex.
Of course, the people of Funan don't want to watch the fat delivered to the door run away and chase after them desperately. Some of the dwarfs who were slow runners were caught and taken captive, and would normally be sold into slavery. But more dwarf blacks ran all the way to the jungle. The people of Funan refused to give up and pursued closely.
At this moment, the banner was waved in the jungle, and a team of men and horses was killed, neither the Cham army nor the slang army, but the Chu army, which was the best at frontal combat. At this time, there were people in the army of the Funan people, there were troops among the people, and there were many people who were busy tying up the dwarf blacks they caught. At first glance, when he saw a brightly armored army suddenly come out, he immediately panicked and fled in all directions.
Xu Chu waved his army to cover the killing, and took advantage of the situation to rush straight into Funan City. Dian Wei and Zu Lang also led their troops to rush out, and cut and killed indiscriminately according to the Funan people. The people of Funan could not resist, there were many dead and wounded, and there were countless descendants, and the two banners of "Han" and "Chu" had been erected on the head of Funan City.
If it weren't for the greed of the Funan people and their desire to capture slaves, the Chu army could also quickly capture Funan City, but it would not be as easy as this.
......
Wei Xuan stepped into the Funan Palace surrounded by the generals, and couldn't help but be amazed. This small country built by "savages" in the eyes of everyone has a royal palace that is as luxurious as the palace in the Central Plains.
The beams and pillars of the palace are painted with gold powder, the four walls are painted with colorful paintings, the ground is covered with long carpets, the throne of the king of Funan is actually carved with a whole piece of agarwood, large and small palaces are full of gold, silver and bronze utensils, and the concubines and palace maids are all dressed in gorgeous clothes. In the storehouses of the royal palace, all kinds of spices, pearls, jade, rhino horn, and ivory were piled up.
In fact, Funan is not wealthy. When Wei Xuan entered the city, he could see that many Funan soldiers and civilians were wearing shabby clothes, and most of the houses were low and dilapidated. It can be imagined that the king of Funan almost appropriated the wealth of a country for himself, expropriated and extorted violently, and was greedy to what extent.
Of course, Wei Xuan was not bored enough to seek justice for the people of Funan, he directly used the wealth in the palace of Funan as spoils of war, took half of it for himself, and gave the other half to the three armies. For a time, the three armies were thunderous and their morale was high. I didn't expect a small country to have such a rich harvest, and the soldiers who were not much interested in this battle are now starting to gear up, looking forward to the next Chen Li's surprise again.
That night, Wei Xuan feasted in the Funan Palace, and ordered the concubines and palace maids in the Funan Palace to drink wine and sing and dance. When the wine was half-drunk, Zu Lang said: "Queen Funan has bathed and changed her clothes, and is burning incense and meditating to wait for the lord." ”
Wei Xuan was stunned and looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "There is still one in his country, but his wife is the same!"
