Chapter 968(1/2)

Extra to pacify Japan and South Korea

When the Battle of the Yellow Sea broke out, Taishici himself lost the opportunity to make contributions because he was in the frontal land battlefield in the hinterland of Sanhan.

At the same time, he was also worried about the situation in the rear and did not dare to continue to advance lightly for a while, for fear that Li Yan, who was responsible for sea logistics, would need his support at any time. So for several days, he chose to stop the attack and wait for news from the rear.

This station took three or four days. By early September, Li Yan's fleet had finished the naval battle and sailed smoothly to the Han River estuary. He led a team of small boats to go upstream to prepare to return to the army, and sent a horse to report the news.

Only then did Taishici get the good news of victory in the rear.

"As a matter of fact, I can still trust Li Yan's ability to adapt to changes! Our big man's sea boats are so much better than the three Han barbarians. As long as we are not mediocre, we can win several times the enemy! After all, we didn't lose the big man's face!"

Taishi Ci was very excited, and secretly took a chance on her heart for a while, then she felt it was taken for granted.

His luck was because the number of enemies was indeed several times higher than Li Yan, so he was a little worried. If the size of both sides was similar, he would not be worried at all.

Now it seems that the navy is a technical army, and this truth is indeed a bit good. The ship is too bad, even if the number of people is several times larger, it is still crushed.

Three or four days later, Li Yan himself arrived with a fleet of boats and some troops, and brought many heads and other items of merit that killed the nobles in battle, as well as some prisoners who were captured and caught after falling into the sea.

Taishici informed Zhao Yun in advance, and everyone gathered together to celebrate their achievements and held a banquet to kill pigs and sheep.

During the banquet, Li Yan took out a red Shu brocade battle robe with patterns on the edges to display it. It was not a boast, but just to share it with others. After seeing it, Taishi Ci couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is this?"

Li Yan: "This is the battle robe of Gongsun Yuan, the son of Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Yuan is the leader of the Three Han Navy this time. His father handed over all the navy to him, so he bet on this one.

Gongsun Yuan’s boat was sunk by us directly using the corner of the big ship, so he fell into the sea and drowned. He did not catch the body and even his head was cut.

The armor and helmet were heavy, and it was probably all sunk. Finally, some officers and soldiers on his boat were salvaged. After torture, they only recognized this battle robe, saying that it was indeed a thing of Gongsun Yuan."

Taishi Ci took it and took a closer look. The battle robe used was a typical five-foot wide Shu brocade, with exquisite patterns. It may not be very expensive in the Central Plains, but it is definitely native to Shu.

Shu is located in the southwest of the Han Dynasty, while Sanhan is located in the northeast, almost separated by the entire Central Plains. The Shu brocade in the northeast was almost sold by the Mi Zhu family a few years ago, and the price was extremely expensive. The Gongsun family of Sanhan can only afford it. It seems that it is indeed a relic of Gongsun Yuan himself.

Taishici was also deeply moved:

The killing of Fuyu Wang Wei Qiutai was robbed by Zhao Yun. After finally, the Gongsun family was willing to fight to the decisive battle, but it was still a naval battle. After taking over because his main force seemed too strong and famous, he was avoided again, but he went to find trouble for Li Yan and made Li Yan a contribution.

It seems that to make contributions, it is important to show weakness.

You can neither let the enemy hide from you and not give you a chance to fight, nor can you make the enemy think you are too strong. Once you have to attack you, you can concentrate on your efforts and fight to the death.

When Taishi Ci thought of following Liu Bei very early, but was always sent to other places to assist the secondary defense zones in the middle. He missed so many golden periods of intensive meritorious service over the years, and couldn't help but feel a sigh of "Feng Tang is easy to grow old, Li Guang is difficult to be sealed."

Is it the limit to reach the general of the four towns in this life? I finally unify the world, and this time I can still attack the three Koreans and expand their territory. Could it be that I still cannot make a contribution and be promoted to General of the East?

No, you must work hard in the future. Gongsun Kang’s own head must be taken down!

Zhao Yun, who was already unsuccessful, can no longer let him overtake his position. Zhao Yun clearly came to supervise the army to prevent the Prime Minister's troops from doing things arbitrarily outside. Why did the supervision team of thousands of cavalry become the main attack?

After enough rest, on the sixth day of September, Taishici reorganized his troops and continued to advance, attacked fiercely, and defeated Gongsun Kang's troops step by step.

Taishici thought he was sure to encircle and annihilate Gongsun Kang several times, but Gongsun Kang ran very fast and did not hesitate to give up the territory. So much so that Taishici only expanded hundreds of miles of land, but was unable to encircle and annihilate the enemy's main vitality.

It was dragged until halfway through September, and the battlefield situation was similar to the situation before the Americans landed in the early days of the Korean War in later generations. The coalition of Gongsun Kang and King Jin was forced to the surroundings of the Busan Basin equivalent to later generations.

...

When Gongsun Kang learned of his son's death and the news that the navy was severely injured was four or five days later than Taishici. However, by early September, he had already thoroughly figured out the situation.

The news of his son's death certainly made Gongsun Kang sad, but he didn't have so much energy to pay attention to his son's life and death. In contrast, the defeat of the Three Han navy Army of more than 20,000 people made Gongsun Kang even more desperate.

That is all his family's fortune for escaping from life and rebuilding his rule in a foreign land in the future.

Fortunately, it is difficult to fight a battle of encirclement and annihilation above the sea. After all, there is no terrain on the sea, and it is impossible to encircle a blockade circle with iron walls.

The number of people in the decisive battle of the Three Korean Navy was several times higher than that of Li Yan. There were many people and small boats. Li Yan could only directly attack the heart and behead the command center of the Three Korean Navy. After the Three Korean Navy collapsed, the boat fled in all directions, and Li Yan could only pick one or two percent of them to pursue.

In the end, more than 10,000 people fled back to Gongsun Kanglu.

At that time, Gongsun Kang decided not to wait any longer and retreated directly to the vicinity of Busan, which was equivalent to later generations, and then he had to collect all the remaining sea boats, burned the palace and pretended to commit suicide, while secretly crossing the sea to match the horses.

The reason why he slowly resisted the sluggish advancement on land was to gain time to get more naval troops to return to the army. After all, the broken troops will not retreat as efficiently as established troops, you have to wait slowly.

On September 16th, Gongsun Kang felt that he could not wait any longer. Moreover, in the last few days, the navy troops who returned to the team every day were less than 100. If he waited, he would not obviously gather more people. Gongsun Kang stopped.

Otherwise, Li Yan, under Taishici's command, might have reacted and come to cut off the strait. That would be a waste of time and he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

On that day, Gongsun Kang pretended to set fire to the palace and carried out the fraud of pretending to die and not surrender. He also left behind a large number of ordinary people and grassroots officials who were not trusted enough, without any intention of immigrating, so as not to reveal too many flaws. The barbarians who were with him were also abandoned without notice.

Then he only took his troops, his own tribe, and the families of the officers in the army, and fled by boat. After three days, he crossed half of the strait and settled down to Tsushima Island.

Many people in the army thought about mutiny, but were harshly suppressed by Gongsun Kang and killed many people. Because he could not allow those who knew the destination of this trip to resign and stay alive, otherwise his overseas plan to establish a country will not be hidden.

However, he could not kill too many people, otherwise the army would mutiny directly. In desperation, Gongsun Kang chose to use both kindness and power, killed a group of leaders, and then immediately painted a big cake to announce the improvement of the treatment of the soldiers.

While he was staying on Tsushima Island, he immediately summoned the entire army. He, his younger brother Gongsun Gong, and the remaining sons, personally did ideological work for everyone in public, and promoted the benefits after he arrived on the other side.

"Listen, soldiers! I didn't ask you to take care of your family, it's for your own good. Your family will think that you have died for the country. But the king promised that after arriving in Xiematai, everyone who has no wives will send at least two evil horse women! There are more Xiong Ximan women! Those with wives can send one!

So, don’t worry about having no son or grandchildren, and no one to support the old man and die in a foreign land. From then on, Xiematai will be your new home! The previous heroine of Xiematai was wiped out and killed by the king last year. Most of the powerful people of Xiematai were liquidated. When we got there, we were the best people!"

The people of the Gongsun family were crazy about painting cakes, and the morale of the military finally stabilized again. It was only at this time that many soldiers who did not know much about current affairs learned that Gongsun Kang had secretly cleaned up his mourning last year when his father Gongsun Du died, and he also brought down all the senior officials of the Evil-Ma Tai country opposite the sea that had been detained before, and had long thought of a way out to occupy the magpie's nest.

When everyone thought that although those women in more barbaric lands were shorter and ugly, they would at least become superiors after going there. All the Han soldiers were assigned to slaves, so everyone recognized them.

In late September, the Gongsun family's fleet briefly took a short supply and rested, and prepared to continue sailing from Tsushima Island and head south to the docking of Xiematai.

...

The timeline goes back half a month ago.

The southern battlefield was the area around Kyushu Island in later generations.

As early as around August 20, Ganning's troops finally gained a foothold in Kagoshima and Mian Kyushu.

Ganning's fleet relied on the latitude navigation method to sail from the Zhoushan Islands to the east, and then used observations of sea clouds and warships to find the island to navigate, and slowly explored and sailed to the later Japanese land along one-third of the northernmost section of the Liuqiu Islands.

After gaining a foothold on the mainland, Gan Ning really took much more time than expected to continue to move northward.

Mainly in the seventh and eighth month of the lunar calendar, there are still winds and waves in the East China Sea. Even if you avoid typhoons, ordinary winds and waves are not uncomfortable. After a long bumpy boat will definitely be damaged. After arriving on land, you have to find a way to rest and repair it.

If you dock in an area where mature human civilization settles, this kind of supply will be quickly and may be completed in just seven or eight days.

But who made Gan Ning land in a barbarian area with no state rule and only primitive tribes. There were no port and dock facilities in the area, nor any places for shipbuilding and repairing ships, tools, and craftsmen.

Gan Ning started from scratch and sent someone to use a boat to log and quarry to build a temporary trest.

He even had to build a temporary colony on the shore, bring the simple lathes of the carts, sticks and water wheel saws on the boat to the shore, and then put down a group of sailors to temporarily turn into woodcutters and carpenters to make marine plates to repair ships.

Gan Ning didn't know what civilizations and how much resistance they would encounter when he continued to go north. He couldn't take the risk of driving a broken ship and continue to advance.

This feeling is similar to when Columbus first arrived in Cuba. He had to start farming from scratch and explore steadily. By doing this, it would be normal to delay more than half a month, and no one could accuse him of being cautious.

Fortunately, during the period of rest and repairing the ship, Gan Ning was not idle. He sent a reconnaissance force to search for information on the island and learn about the local tribes. He really got a lot of reliable information.

Before Gan Ning came, his understanding of this place was almost blank. He had thought of getting more tips from Prime Minister Li, who knew everything, but Li Su was also very sensible and didn't say much.

Because Li Su knew that although he had seen the so-called ancient history of Japan a few times in his previous life, those things were obviously unreliable. According to "The Secretary of Japan" and "The Ancient Records", the deeds of the early emperors were basically myths, and the fabrication was definitely several times higher than that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the Central Plains.

I won’t talk about the eight generations of history. Even from the earliest days of archaeological evidence, the first three or four hundred years of history is still a big deal.

According to the Japanese, the "Eight Generations of the Eight Generations" Emperors who had no archaeology had no history, from about 600 BC to 100 BC, and the five hundred years in between were completely fabricated.

The Kansai area of ​​Japan's Bomb Island was born, and it was basically the year 100 BC, which was considered to have just taken shape when Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.

However, at that time, there were at least three major types of regimes in Japan, one was the Ematai in Kitakyushu, the other was the Bear Estor in Mikuishu, and the third was the Yamato in Kansai Yodogawa Biwa Lake Basin—

As for the Kanto area further east of the None Oo Plain, it goes without saying that it is completely untestable. Perhaps the range of activities of the Ekima people at that time was so wide, and the entire Kanto to Hokkaido were Ekima people.

It is estimated that until the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Li Su, Japan was still in this state, with at least hundreds of scattered small tribes.

"Secretary of Japan" and "Aushiji" say that as early as around 80 AD, equivalent to the period of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Jingxing had already destroyed Xiong Ximan, but this record is definitely nonsense, so Li Su did not mislead Gan Ning.

At this moment, Gan Ning personally went to Nanjiuzhou and saw Xiong Ximan's state. He was indeed in independence and ignorance, and the truth was revealed.

After all, according to the "Secretary of Japan", although Emperor Jingxing, who destroyed Xiong Ximan, did not owe the eighth generation, lived an exaggerated life, and was as unhealthy as the ancients who owe the eighth generation. He lived from 13 BC to 130 AD, and was 143 years old.

Even Yao, Shun and Yu dare not boast about their life span so much.

Since Xiong Shi was still barbarians without the country, Gan Ning had nothing to say about the situation when he enslaved some people to repair ships and docks, collect grain and rob livestock.

Gan Ning also thought about using civilized people's trade means to obtain supplies, but the other party must understand the words of people. If there is something to do, the person can trade with you.

Those barbarians themselves cannot understand Chinese, so the Han people will take it directly, which is very reasonable.

After the bear attacks were raging and obtained enough supplies, Gan Ning continued to head north and arrived at Xiematai at the end of August.

During this period, Gan Ning was curious why there was such a big difference between the north and the south when he was on the same island. So on the way to the north along the coast, his fleet passed by Asu Mountain and surveyed it. Gan Ning personally tried to lead the team to explore and climb and record the geography.

This is the first time in this life that Gan Ning has seen an active volcano that is always smoking, and he is also quite shocked.

All the Han navy soldiers also thought it was spectacular, and they understood why an unmanned isolation zone formed by a magnificent volcano could make there such a big difference in civilization between the north and south sides of an island.

After arriving at Xiematai, Gan Ning also conquered for a while at first, but then he found that the one who fought against him was the garrison left by Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang's men had just completely conquered Xiematai not long after.

After Gan Ning easily defeated thousands of soldiers left by Gongsun Kang, he captured some generals and asked them torture them. He learned that Gongsun Kang only designed a banquet for senior officials of Xiematai to pay tribute last winter, and then killed everyone, including the leader of the Xiematai witch, Himehu.

At that time, Xiematai didn't know that Gongsun Kang's father Gongsun Du was dead. Gongsun Kang took advantage of the time when his father had just died and he was not in a mourning state, so as to slaughter the senior management of Xiematai to realize his conspiracy to occupy the magpie's nest and leave a way out.

Of course, Gan Ning was also very indignant, but he also followed the situation and could win over the hearts of the local natives. The remaining people in Xiematai were all ignorant civilians, and there was no enough military power or aristocratic class to resist. As for those witch classes, it was even more unthreatening.

Since they had been temporarily endured by Gongsun Kang and were unable to resist, the real man is here, of course, they are obediently lying flat on their own to accept the rule of the man.

There is really nothing to say about the whole process.
To be continued...
