Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 64 Dongdu, Dongdu, startled a pool of seagulls

Secretly supporting Yamatai is the Gongsun family in Liaodong, or the Gongsundu family who once served as the governor of Jizhou.

Gongsundu treated his subordinates and friends very generously, and treated his enemies extremely cruelly. With the carrot and stick in his hand, he controlled nearly half of Liaodong in a few years.

Since the first emperor sent Xu Fu to the east, since the Han Dynasty, represented by the Yidu state in the northern part of Kyushu, the Dongying Islands have been in contact with the Chinese mainland.

("Book of the Later Han Dynasty Dongyi Biography": In 107 AD, King Shuaisheng of the Wa Kingdom paid tribute to Emperor Han'an with more than 160 slaves.)
With the gradual development of Honshu, the king of Yamatai realized that in order to surpass Yidu, he must obtain the support of the Han Dynasty, so he sent envoys to Liaodong many times.

When the Japanese came to visit, Gongsun’s family learned that Gongsundu needed money to open the door to the Eastern Capital, and Yamatai needed military supplies, and the two hit it off.

Therefore, Yamatai, which was armed to the teeth, gradually annexed the neighboring small countries and rose. At present, its strength surpasses that of Yidu, and it will soon replace it.

Following Momotaro's narration, after Jian Yong and Zhang He got to know more about it, they knew it well.

There are more than [-] warriors in Ximatai, with a considerable number of iron weapons, not many armors and crossbows, and two to three hundred cavalry. The Japanese horses are shorter than those of the Han army.

What's interesting is that at present, none of the countries in Japan have the awareness of urban defense, which is equivalent to the gathering areas of large and small villages and towns.

Zhang He couldn't believe it.

No way, if this is the case, you can sweep it with your eyes closed.

No wonder Hou Ye only allowed 3000 people to take with him, and they were still natives of Sanhan. It seemed really prescient.

Of course, Lord Hou also had a clear policy on how to conquer the three islands in Japan.

In any case, with Momotaro, Zhang He is full of confidence in landing on the island.

Xu You: Some say three months, some say one month. How long will it take General Zhang?

Zhang He: One hour and 22 minutes is wrong, three days is enough.

Xu You was surprised and said: Why?

Zhang He: It takes three days to cross the sea and land on the island.

Just like that, there was a small tent of the same style beside Jinhua's tent.

The next day, early in the morning, Qiu Liju made up 920 young adults, as well as a polite Goguryeo interpreter, Yi Dan.

Jian Yong and Zhang Yun accepted all the orders without saying anything.

The [-] young and strong were assigned to [-] personal guards for queue and march training, that is, four-position discrimination, standing, squatting and lying postures, forward and backward turning and other movement exercises.

Through Jinhua's training yesterday, the guards are generally able to give orders in bilingual, that is, they shout Chinese first, and then local dialect.

This is the most boring training, and it is also the most basic and important training. If you don't practice well, you won't be able to play at all.

Liu Fu and the fifty personal guards were holding wooden sticks, no matter which recruit made a mistake, he would just go up with a stick.

Simple and crude, but very effective.

By noon, almost all of them were identified through azimuth.

After lunch, the three thousand recruits who got used to the password of the personal guards learned to stand, squat, and lie down, and move with little effort.

Finally, Zhang He ordered the whole army to line up and stand for two quarters of an hour.

Although there is only one movement, less than [-]% can stick to it.

After dinner, the recruits learned by themselves, counting from one to ten in Chinese.

On the third day, after breakfast, I marched ten miles back on foot and continued to train in the queue.

In the afternoon, weapons were distributed, including [-] spearmen, [-] sword and shield soldiers, [-] crossbowmen, and [-] light cavalry.

Each recruit received a weapon, and under the demonstration of the personal guard, followed the order to practice the essentials of movements repeatedly.

On the fourth day, walk ten miles in the morning to train in a fully armed formation, and in the afternoon, divide into battalion-level units to practice formation advance and retreat.

On the fifth day, all recruits could clearly understand simple Chinese instructions and execute various tactical actions relatively smoothly.

So far, the rapid training of three thousand recruits is over, and the rest is to land in Japan for actual combat testing.

Zhongping six years, February 25, dawn.

Jian Yong, Zhang He, Liu Fu, Sun Guo, and Ma Chao, including three interpreters, left the camp along with [-] fully armed recruits and gathered at the military port.

Qiu Liju, who had been frightened by Zhang Ying, also came to the military port honestly, and respectfully saw off the expedition army.

Looking at the three thousand soldiers who had completely changed their appearance, Qiu Liju showed a shocked expression.

He knew exactly what these lowly natives looked like before they entered the barracks.

In just five days, he was reborn and looked like a strong army, which shows that Lord Hou is wise and powerful.

Three three-masted warships and ten paddle-wheel ships set sail slowly amidst the sound of loud and clear horns, cutting through the waves and sailing towards the east.

According to Momotaro's introduction, there is Tsushima Island in the waters from Seoul to northern Kyushu, which can be used as a stop on the first day.

Depart from Tsushima Island the next day, and then sail to northern Kyushu to land in Yidu Country. This is the fastest route.

In this way, they will be able to go ashore on the third day at most, and take advantage of Yidu and Nuguo's fight to defeat them one by one, and successfully take over the entire island of Kyushu.

After stabilizing Kyushu, the next step is to attack the four countries, and finally solve the strongest Yamatai, so as to complete the plan to conquer Japan.

Zhang He smiled, Momotaro was quite knowledgeable, he was weak first and then strong, seeking victory while maintaining stability was quite in line with the art of war.

"Just do it!"

Most of the [-] recruits had never been out at sea, and they were very fresh at the beginning. Behind the portholes on the deck, they scrambled to enjoy the sea view.

Entering the deep sea area, the waves intensify and the turbulence is severe, and many people have symptoms of seasickness.

In the era without seasickness medicine, we can only bear it hard.

In the evening, the fleet arrived at Tsushima Island, and the soldiers finally came back to life.

However, the residents and fishermen on the island instinctively fled to the depths of the island when they saw the tall ships and warships, as well as the heavily armed army.

Zhang He was not interested in the islanders at all. What he cared about was how to deal with the armed forces of Yidu and the slave country after entering Kyushu.

Mi Fang accidentally discovered that Jin Hua, a female slave interpreter for Sanhan, seemed to have a different look and attitude towards Sun Guo.

It's normal for young Muai.

The interpreter for the female slave came to ask for advice and strike up a conversation if she was free, but Sun Guo didn't notice it.

After all, helping Jinhua before was only out of having experienced the life of a slave and sympathizing with each other.

Although Jin Hua, who washed off the dirt, is also a young girl, Sun Guo has seen many beautifully dressed and handsome women, so the female interpreter with plain face and flat figure is doomed to be ruthless.

Jin Hua's affection for Sun Guo is not only her personal gratitude and admiration, but also her awe of the great man's kingdom.

Of course, when a young girl grows up, under the influence of hormones, it is instinctive to produce some wonderful emotions.

When the Yongzhou navy was about to land in Dongying, Dong Zhuo, who was in Chang'an, felt that the boundary of Liangzhou was like a hornet's nest.

Lv Bu made a lot of moves in Hedong, conducting actual military exercises every now and then, and even blatantly simulated a siege, scaring the governor of Hedong into a ghost again.

Then Zhang Liao, who opened his eyes and talked nonsense, led his cavalry to the northwestern part of Longxi under the pretext of getting lost. Han Sui, who was highly nervous, also became a ghost.

What's more disturbing is that Xiahou Dun of Hanzhong passed through the plank road, and his soldiers came out of Xiegukou and arrived at Chencang. The surrounding horse thieves turned into a group of ghosts.

What's even more troublesome is that many places in the northwest of Liangzhou were attacked by Qiang people on scattered horses. They were shocked three times a day and reported urgently like rain.

As Liangzhou's leading brother, he couldn't ignore his younger brother's life or death.

So, with the two thousand horses and the 3000 men, Hedong allocated another 5000 men and horses, and nearly [-] troops were divided into various counties to assist in the defense.

Jia Xu is keenly aware that the big-eared thief must be behind the scenes, reminding the lord to be careful.

But Fatty Dong didn't dare to deal with it. Who knows what the idea of ​​that unscrupulous turkey is, what if there is another "negotiation settlement"?
In this way, by the end of February, the territory of Liangzhou was full of wars, soldiers and horses, and unrest everywhere.

Everything is going according to the script.

Emperor Liu Hong's condition became more and more serious, his legs were swollen, he couldn't walk, and he often fell into a coma.

All the imperial doctors were helpless, and this cannot be reversed by manpower.

All those in the know know well that this absurd "Son of Benevolence" has come to the end of his life.

Once the emperor dies, the battle for the position of the two princes will inevitably become a tipping point, and the eunuch and his relatives will inevitably have a life-and-death showdown.

Therefore, by coincidence, the two sides decisively shake people.

Looking at Zuo Feng and Zhang Rang's sincere invitation letter, Liu Bei decided to wait.

Dong Zhuo, whose hands and feet were bound, was unable to respond to General He's call.

However, an unexpected situation broke the peace of the court.

　I wish you a happy weekend!
