The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 672 The Scary Gap
Yakufu was taken away by Xu Shu. In Xu Shu's words, Yakufu should be the hero of the big man, not the hero of Shache City. Since he is already the general of the big man, he should go out with the army.

As soon as Xu Shu arrived in Wulei Kingdom, the city gate had already been opened, and the people in Wulei Kingdom knelt down to greet him. It was not their king who surrendered to the big man, but their king who ran away, taking the nobles and money with him.

When Guishuang's army fled back, the king of Wulei Kingdom and the princes and ministers packed their bags and ran away with Guishuang's defeated army. They heard that they had gone to Congling and planned to flee to Guishuang Kingdom.

Soon, news came from the country of Xiuliu, and the princes and nobles of the country also escaped completely. Because the Shuqin country was destroyed and all the nobles were beheaded, they did not dare to stay any longer.

Afterwards, Xu Shu came to the country of Xiuliu and took full control of the westernmost city. At the same time, he sent scouts to closely monitor Congling and began to clean up the remnants of the nobles. The Western Regions were all under the control of the big man.

At this time, Zhang Liao had just completed Xiaoqing Wusun's task, and was waiting for the officials and city guards mobilized from Luoyang. Only after these people accepted Wusun could Zhang Liao leave Wusun, return to the Western Regions, and continue to complete what he had not completed. task.

When the north was fighting in full swing, the south was not idle. According to Liu Bei's order, Gao Lan led [-] troops to the south to attack Chenla, while Pang Tong led an army of [-] to attack Funan.

Chenla is still a small country now, with a military strength of only [-], and its equipment is backward, and even copper weapons are still used.

As for the Funan Kingdom, although there are [-] soldiers and horses, they are not much stronger, it is just that the territory is larger and the population is larger.

However, both Chenla and Funan have a common feature, that is, there are many deep mountains and old forests, the land is full of mosquitoes and poisonous insects, the climate is hot, the roads are difficult to walk, and the people live in different places, which is even worse than the environment in South Vietnam.

In order to take down these two small southern countries, Chen Ziming asked Gao Lan and Pang De to train mountain troops to fight in small groups and quickly intersperse with raids. The small southern countries are really not suitable for large army operations.

Not only is it difficult to mobilize, but it is also difficult to transport grain and grass, especially the problem of mosquitoes. If one fails, the army may be defeated by these little things.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of doctors in the big man. Chen Ziming ordered some doctors to go to the southern region to study ways to prevent mosquitoes, and at the same time find ways to treat various diseases in the southern region.

According to the information sent back by the dark guards, although Funan and Zhenla are called countries, they do not have a decent road, at most they are a road that allows horse-drawn carriages to travel together, and they are only directly connected to each other in a few big cities in the country.

If the army wants to invade such a place, transportation is the biggest difficulty.What Chen Ziming was most afraid of was that when Funan and Zhenla lost to the big man, he fled into the deep mountains and old forests, fought guerrillas with the big man, or pretended to surrender to the big man, and then rebelled repeatedly.

If this is the case, it will really drag down the big man, it is better to give up these places.

Of course, it was impossible to give up. Chen Ziming sent his two most proud apprentices to the south to solve these problems.

The methods of the two are similar, the mountain troops open the way in front, and the army follows step by step.Mobilize civilians to build roads, open roads when encountering mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and build a road that is large enough for troops to pass.

If the enemy hid in the deep forest to harass the army, they would use various methods to lure the enemy or ambush them, and even set fire to the mountain after surrounding it.

After many times, Funan and Chenla both felt powerless in the face of the Han army.

The King of Funan's Hunpan situation asked his son Hunpanpan and General Fan Man to lead the troops to fight Pang De to the death. escape.

Knowing that it was impossible to mess around, he took some soldiers, horses and money, and went out to sea by boat to escape. Funan was leaderless, and was quickly captured by Pang De.

The Chenla royal family was not so lucky. The king personally led an army to resist Gaolan. Twenty thousand Chenla soldiers and horses fought head-on with Gaolan's thirty thousand Han troops. As you can imagine, the 2 people in Chenla were killed and cried. Father called mother, and the king died in the chaos.

Both Funan and Chenla are small border countries, but it took nearly half a year for Pound and Gao Lan to defeat them. It is not because Funan and Chenla are strong, but because the road is too difficult. Pound and Gao Lan are almost on the same side. During the battle, roads were built, and an avenue went straight to the south.

For these two avenues connecting the south, Chen Ziming tried his best to dispatch nearly 20 civilians from all over the Han Dynasty to help out.

At the same time, the navy also went south along the coastline, transporting food and grass for the army, and at the same time completely controlling the entire southern coast. Funan and Chenla were finally included in Vietnam State. Because Funan and Chenla are not big, they are divided into three. That's all.

The first year of the Han Dynasty ended, and the Han Dynasty's foreign wars also came to an end.

Needless to say, the southern region, except for chopping foreign countries, the rest of the region fell into the hands of Dahan, that is to say, the Vietnam Peninsula of later generations is now the southern peninsula of Dahan, and the navy of Dahan also established a military port on the other side, completely destroying Guangrou. Dahan sea area wrapped up.

Taking the southern peninsula almost doubled the coastline of Dahan. Today's Dahan navy is simply not enough to protect the coastline of Dahan, which is more than [-] miles long.

You must know that the current Dahan coastline runs from Jizhou in the north to the west coast of the southern peninsula, that is, the east coast of the Bay of Bengal in later generations. The navy passes through the Strait of Malacca in later generations.

And King Funan fled to Southeast Asia with his people, where many people already lived, but there was no unified regime yet.

The big man is powerless in Southeast Asia. When the navy sent back the news that it had detected Southeast Asia, Chen Ziming could only shake his head and sigh. It's not that the big man can't take down those places, but that they won't be ruled by anyone.

Take down the limit of the big Han in the southern peninsula, because the big Han has no extra population to occupy those places, and no more officials to govern those places.

The southern peninsula needs a large number of officials to govern, and many people need to be relocated there to completely control the southern peninsula.

At the same time, in the north, not to mention the Western Regions, many small officials have changed their minds and went to the Western Regions, directly becoming county magistrate officials, or county branch chiefs. There is no way, the big man does not have so many reserve talents.

Use those clan's children to break the rules and promote, don't look at the joke, it's hard to suppress the clan, if you want to be an official, you can, go for the exam, start from a small official.

The small officials who went to the Western Regions to be chief officials were almost all graduates from colleges. After the offensive examination, they served as local officials for a period of time. There was no problem with their loyalty and ability.

The Western Regions and the Southern Peninsula have almost emptied the official reserves of the Han Dynasty, but Zhang Xiu accidentally took down Wusun. The large number of official gaps has already racked the brains of the Government Affairs Council. If they occupy other places, the Han Dynasty really has no officials to govern. .
