Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci were ready to attack until half past July, so when they arrived at the front line, it was basically early August.

Zhao Yun's troops were originally stationed near Xuantu County, which was equivalent to Chenyang in later generations, so it would take no more than half a month to march by land to the front line of Lelang County.

The straight line distance is 900 miles away, and you have to bypass some mountainous areas, and most sections of the road are walking along the coast. The actual mileage is always 1,300 and 400 miles. Of course, fortunately, it is marching in the inner line of the occupied areas of our side, so there is no need to bring anything. It is easy for cavalry to travel more than 100 miles a day.

After all, even before the war began, the area north of the Wushui River was already occupied by Mi Zhu, and the area south of the Han River was occupied by Gongsun Kang.

The Han River and the Mishui River are considered buffer zones, and both sides have controls and intertwined. Basically, it is equivalent to the later generations between Pyongyang and Seoul, which is the area around Kaicheng.

On Taishici's side, the mileage of crossing the strait from the top of the Donglai Peninsula is closer than that of Zhao Yun, and only 500 miles of sea route. It is said that it will take at most seven or eight days, but the wind direction is not smooth.

But in fact, because of the mountainous areas of Donglai County, Taishici was not stationed at the tip of Donglai Peninsula, but later Weihai. Instead, he fed in Qu County, Donghai County, which was Lianyungang in later generations.

As soon as the war began, Taishi Ci set out from Qu County and could not go straight to the landing point. He had to go to the most prominent Wengjin Peninsula in the central part of the Korean Peninsula, approached the coast and then walked southeast along the coast, and finally landed at the entrance of the Han River, which is equivalent to later Incheon.

After all this trouble, Taishi Ci also arrived in early August, almost with Zhao Yun.

At the same time, Gan Ning, who went to sea from Juzhang County, Kuaiji, sailed slowly and carefully during this period to the central and northern section of Liuqiu Island, roughly equivalent to the southernmost end of Chosen Island County in later generations.

Don’t think that Gan Ning drove the ship slowly. After all, he was taking a route that his predecessors had not fully explored. At least he did not walk through the army and merchant fleet in a large scale. It is understandable that he was slower.

Previously, only Zhou Yu led some South Islanders who knew Polynesian navigation techniques and roughly touched them in a small number of small boat adventure mode. He knew that this road could be opened and that a new island could be found within 200 miles of the road. Therefore, as long as the search for islands is skilled, it is absolutely impossible to miss the island chain.

But Zhou Yu's charts are not complete after all. He had only wanted to make it through before, but instead of finding and marking out all the islands in the archipelago, there were often problems of island jumping on his map, so that as Gan Ning walked and spread a search network, he often found new islands.

In addition, in order to ensure safety, Ganning's fleet carried at least one hundred domesticated warship birds to spare and prevent them from getting lost.

Because Zhou Yu's sea chart was incomplete, Gan Ning released the birds as he walked, and found that there was actually a new nameless uninhabited island within fifty miles, and then another bird wasted. The whole process was a tortuous line, and seven or eight new islands were discovered before seeing the Kagoshima main island in Mian Kyushu.

It will take about two days to reach the Kumashima territory in Mian Kyushu from Kagoshima through Osu Strait (Sama in later generations). From Kagoshima, then along the Kumamoto area, it will be at least 800 miles of sea route, and it will take several days to travel.

Finally, when you go north and then to Tsubasa, you will be discovered by Gongsun Kang's troops. The Gongsun Kang defender of Tsubasa has to spend time to repay him. So, after Gongsun Kang discovers Gan Ning's existence, at least Taishici and Zhao Yun's troops have entered the country for more than 20 days.

However, this also gave the Han army more time to implement the plan to lure the enemy to attract hatred.

...

On the sixth day of the eighth month, Gongsun Kang's capital was stationed in Nan County. He received the military information of Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci's invasion for the first time in his palace.

Zhao Yun came earlier, had already crossed the Wushui River and approached the Han River, but had not crossed the Han River. Taishici was only a little later, and was discovered by Gongsun's fishing boats and wardrobes near Wengjin in later generations, and then took a detour back to pay back.

The place name Tunnan County was chosen casually when Gongsun Du was alive. From the name, you can see that it reveals casualness and rusticity.

Because when Mi Zhu split the Daifang County from Lelang County, he continued to expand the barbarian land suitable for cultivation and planting to the south based on the Tunyou County of Lelang County, the southernmost county, and became a new county.

Later, this colonial and land reclamation practice was also adopted. Every time a new county was developed almost as soon as possible, with only tens of thousands of naturalized households. Then the southernmost county of the county was demolished and a new county was established.

Tunyou County is roughly equivalent to Kaicheng in later generations. Tunnan County was the southernmost county in the belt area, equivalent to Seoul, and continued to develop southward for more than ten years.

Gongsun Du has been building for more than ten years, but he has not been able to achieve a complete rule of the county system against Sanhan, Tsubasa, and even the Xiematai on the other side. It is still a mixed state of the county system and the city system.

The so-called city system is also a system used by the original tribes in the Sanhan area, and even Goguryeo and Fuyu people in the northeast. It is similar to the feudal system in the pre-Qin and Zhou dynasties. The countryside areas in the middle are all "savages". Just pay taxes to the lords in the city. The people in the city are "national people" and they must serve for wars and serve.

So after Gongsun Kang inherited it, his control and scheduling capabilities were like this.

When encountering war, he could fully mobilize the counties directly under the Gongsun family. For those cities where the kings were enfeoffed, Gongsun Kang could only use loose city-state alliance instructions to send troops.

The king similar to the Xianbei people of the Huns was nominally a king, but was actually just a tribal alliance leader and could ask other tribes to cooperate, but the tribal chief retained direct command of the tribe.

This is the intermediate state of the transformation from barbarians to Chineseization.

Historically, this state lasted until the year when the Jin Dynasty moved south, and the Han people tried to deepen the county system, but after the transit of the south, all the Han people's rule reforms in the north were washed away by the barbarians.

The following year when Yongjia went south, Goguryeo completely conquered the areas of the county and counties, and re-turned history to return to the complete city system.

Now, the Han Dynasty has become three times, and these twists and turns will certainly not happen.

...

Faced with Zhao Yun's appearance, Gongsun Kang's first reaction was still slightly frightened, but then he felt more relieved, a kind of relief that "the second boot upstairs finally landed on the ground."

Because since his father died half a year ago, Gongsun Kang has been waiting for the day when the big man knows about the Three Han changes and invades.

In April, Gongsun Kang knew that the news of his father's death had been exposed to the other side of the East China Sea. In May, he was also very nervous and mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized and kept guard against the enemy.

As a result, the Han army did not come for a long time. He mobilized so many people for nothing, and spent it until the autumn harvest was approaching and he could not hold on anymore, so he disbanded the militia and went back to harvest the crops. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun appeared less than half a month after he had just disbanded the militia.

Gongsun Kang immediately summoned his aides Han Zhong, Jia Fan, as well as his younger brother Gongsun Gong, sons Gongsun Huang and Gongsun Yuan to discuss solutions.

When Gongsun Du died, he was already fifty or sixty years old, so Gongsun Kang is now nearly forty years old. His younger brother and several older sons have also become adults and can help with military and political affairs.

In history, the Gongsun family could have lived for another 30 years, but in the end, Gongsun Yuan was destroyed by Sima Yi. At that time, even Gongsun Yuan's son Gongsun Xiu had already grown up and could lead troops for generals. It can be seen that Gongsun Yuan was already middle-aged and elderly at that time.

It is 205 now, Gongsun Yuan is just in his prime, and it is said that he is quite powerful, at least among the father and son of the Gongsun family. His eldest brother Gongsun Huang is even twenty-three years old. Gongsun Huang was sent to Luoyang as a hostage by Gongsun Kang in history. Later, his second brother Gongsun Yuan rebelled, and Gongsun Huang was directly beaten in Luoyang.

In addition to the above-mentioned direct subordinates and family members, Gongsun Kang has two allies in the city system, namely Fuyu Wang Wei Qiutai, and Feng Wei Wang Loufan. You can look forward to it.

The Gongsun family's reclaiming and colonization over the past decade was mainly on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, which was facing the Han Dynasty, and realized the county system. However, the mountainous areas in the central part of the Korean Peninsula and even the coast close to the Japanese Sea on the east side did not establish a county system, and it was still a city system.

Therefore, the part of the land equivalent to the coast of the Japanese Sea in North Korea in later generations is now from Fuyu Kingdom.

The part of the land that was equivalent to the later South Korea facing the Sea of ​​Japan was turbulent.

Fuyu and Fengwei were just allies controlled by Gongsun Kang. They recognized Gongsun Kang as the leader and asked Gongsun Kang about their trade to purchase advanced production tools and materials from Han land, but they were not considered direct subordinates.

The Gongsun family directly under the command of 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, and the total number of Fuyu Yi soldiers was 20,000 to 30,000. This is the force that Gongsun Kang can mobilize directly now. If you want to have more, you have to force the people to strengthen their children again.

...

"For the sake of the present plan, how to deal with Zhao Yun's invasion? Have you ever found out how many people Zhao Yun is?"

At the military meeting, Gongsun Kang carefully confirmed the situation, and did not expect to deceive everyone's morale by telling good news and not bad news. Now it is the most important to make an honest statement.

The first person to discover the enemy was Wei Qiutai from Fuyu. Because he was a barbarian of the Dongyi and had no education and did not know the plan, Zhao Yun's suspicion of military strategy was bluffing, and Wei Qiutai almost accepted everything and directly fell into the trap.

He then showed up with Gongsun Kang: "The Han cavalry under the banner of General Cavalry, scouts to explore his whereabouts, which lasted fifty or sixty miles, and there were probably more than fifty thousand people."

This Fuyu of Wei Qiutai is the only barbaric country on the Korean Peninsula that borders the territory of the Han and Gongsun clans. In fact, he doesn't really want to help Gongsun Kang fight against the Han Dynasty.

But mainly because more than ten years ago, when the Cao family and Gongsun family were strong, Gongsun Du made a move and forced Wei Qiutai to marry his daughter.

Therefore, it is easy to get on the pirate ship and get off the pirate ship. Wei Qiutai is now equivalent to Gongsun Kang's brother-in-law. If the Han Dynasty wants to beat his brother-in-law, he can only pinch his nose to support him, otherwise it would be unreasonable.

But I dare not say how firm this kind of support can be. If he really even takes it in a critical moment, Wei Qiutai will definitely not be happy. When the disaster comes, he will fly away. He just married a wife from the Gongsun family. How could he compensate his entire family?

"Fifty thousand?! What are your plans to get rid of the enemy?" Gongsun Kang felt a little disappointed when he heard the enemy situation reported by his brother-in-law.

He knew Zhao Yun's reputation very well. He was a cruel man who fought from the northeast corner of the Han Dynasty to the southwest corner, and then returned from the southwest corner of the Han Dynasty to the northeast corner.

It can be said that over the past eighteen years, the entire man has been killed through a round trip.

Such a ruthless man now brings 50,000 cavalry to deal with Sanhan?

Liu Bei looked down on him too much! Don’t you think you lost money?!

Afterwards, the second brother Gongsun Gong reported on Taishici's army, saying that it was at least 40,000 to 50,000.

But in fact, Taishici only had 30,000 people, but he sat in a fleet of 50,000 people.

On the other side, Zhao Yun had only five thousand cavalrymen. He relied on one man and three horses, as well as other bluffing methods to set up camps and brag about them ten times more.

Everyone looked at each other. After a long time, the adviser Han Zhongcai persuaded: "King, for the sake of the present, it is better to line up strong troughs along the Han River. Don't let Zhao Yun cross the river easily, to delay time and test the Han army's ability to attack.

Although Zhao Yun was numerous, he came from the mountains and was mainly cavalry and could not bring heavy siege equipment. If he wanted to build it locally in the Three Koreans, he would inevitably lack materials and craftsmen and would not be able to match them. Taishi Ci came from across the sea and would also face the inability to bring heavy siege equipment.

In short, our army will first try whether the Han army has the ability to attack and decide on the next strategy in a targeted manner."

Gongsun Kang touched his beard and pondered for a moment: "What should the Han army do to attack? What should we do to attack? What should we do to attack? Zhao Yun has the advantage of cavalry, but we have many horses in the land of the three Hans and various troops in Fuyu.

If there was no Zhao Yun and only Taishi Ci, Gu had thought about fighting with Taishi Ci in the field and breaking his steps with his cavalry. Now it seems that there is no hope. If the Han army can attack the city, alas...

What's more, how high can the earthen walls be in this town of Nan County? As the capital, the walls are less than three zhang high. In the Central Plains, even the county seats of the big counties are more than three zhang."

Everyone discussed for a long time and became more and more worried. Finally, Jia Fan, another assistant of Gongsun Kang, thought of a way to take a gamble. Although he was risky, he seemed to have at least a chance to turn the tables.

"King, if we find that the Han army is not very strong in attacking and can delay time, then our army will quickly withdraw the population, provide supplies, resist step by step, and retreat into the dangerous land of the southeast mountain. I believe that the Han army will pursue a thousand miles of expeditions and the pursuit will be slow."

Gongsun Kang: "So what if you are slow to pursue? If you are slow to catch up, will we always be able to catch up. Can't we sit back and wait for death?"

Jia Fan: "As long as you retreat into the mountainous area, Zhao Yun is unable to move, the main force to pursue must be Taishici's troops. Taishici's men abandoned the ship and landed on the shore and pursued it in an infantry battle. After they were far away, there must be few who left behind to guard the ship.

However, our army was desperate to take a gamble, concentrating its main force on the way, burning Taishici's fleet from the sea, or killing people and seizing ships, leaving Zhao Yun with only 100,000 Taishici, but our army was strong and clearing the fields and cut off supplies by sea. Only by land could we cross mountains for one or two thousand miles and transport grain from Liaodong.

With such a waste, the Han army will definitely not last long. Even if Zhao Yun and Taishici do not retreat completely, as long as they are not allowed to grab the grain of the three Koreans, raise grain on the spot, and use the land transportation capacity from Liaodong here to maintain the consumption of the Han army at most. At that time, our army will launch another counterattack, and Zhao Yun and Taishici can be captured."

Exchange space for time, and use strategic longitudinal and mountain complex terrain to deeply draw the enemy's supply line? Finally, burn ships and cut off shipping to kill the Han army? This strategy sounds good!
