The southern barbarian coalition forces were dejected, and the battle ended in a disastrous defeat.

Despite their efforts in pursuing the Jingzhou Army, they actually suffered heavy losses and regretted it.

Wutu Gu and King Mulu were not punished by Meng Huo and other leaders, but they still felt sorry for the soldiers and beasts who died in the battle.

On the Jingzhou Army and Yizhou Army, the situation is completely different.

After the Jingzhou army led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei returned, the Yizhou army also returned under the leadership of generals such as Zhang Ren, Wu Yi and Yan Yan.

Advisors such as Fazheng and Zhang Song naturally did not lead their troops to fight on the front line. Welcoming them at the gate of the temporary camp and washing their dust

"Fazheng Military Advisor is indeed a mastermind!"

Guan Yu said with some sigh, he had a better impression of Fazheng, and he even thought more highly of him.

"Haha, the Southern Barbarian coalition seems to be menacing, but with their passion, they can easily be lured into a trap, which is not worth mentioning at all!"

Fazheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Fighting against the Southern Barbarian coalition, even if you win, there is no sense of accomplishment.

"It's a pity that the beast soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Alliance are too strong! Guan

Yu thought of King Mulu's army of beasts and sighed:"If it weren't for those beasts, we could have wiped out their entire army in this battle!""

"That's right! Zhang

Fei waved the elephant and said,"Those tigers, leopards and jackals are very troublesome. Ordinary soldiers cannot withstand the attack of such wild beasts."

The biggest headache is those snakes, insects, rats, and ants, which are simply disgusting and difficult to eradicate!"

Zhang Fei's words aroused the approval of the generals of the Jingzhou army.

Fazheng and other advisers nodded and said:"The biggest headache for us is the beast soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Alliance. If we can't deal with the beast soldiers, it may be difficult to defeat them!"

Fazheng's defeat was not a matter of killing and defeating the Nanman coalition.

With his resourcefulness, coupled with the six times ability bonus of the current soldiers, if it was a forced killing, he would definitely be very confident.

But what Fazheng wanted was the Nanman The coalition forces were sincerely convinced, instead of killing one Southern Barbarian coalition force and then another rebelling.

This kind of endless rebellion was simply treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

At this time, the Yizhou army officers and soldiers also returned smoothly.

They occupied a good location and attacked. Although Mrs. Zhu Rong and Meng Huo led their troops up the mountain to attack behind them, the casualties were not heavy. All the soldiers sat together to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy, and they all believed that they must find a way to deal with the beast soldiers.

But for a while There is not much progress or strategy at the moment, so I can only send the Yizhou incident to Liu Chen in the capital for viewing. Let

’s see if there is a way to solve this situation by gathering the brains of the country!

……

Regarding the war in Yizhou, Liu Chen received the news immediately. Because the system prompts about the acquisition of war points, there is a steady stream.

But they were all forgotten by Liu Chen. He only cared about the outcome.

Today's system points, after many times of development and construction, purchasing items in the mall, and gaining from external battles, the points are maintained at around 10 billion.

Liu Chen planned to keep it for the time being.

In addition to the ability of 'ability bonus' that you want to store and upgrade, there are other system buildings.

Liu Chen also wanted to see what would happen if he accumulated tens of millions.

According to Liu Chen's experience in playing games in his previous life, generally speaking, after reaching a certain index or certain conditions, the system should be upgraded. but.

His points accumulated up to 15 billion, but there was still no such notification sound. There was no answer to the inquiry system.

In desperation, they can only spend it for development and construction, purchase of shopping mall props, etc.

For example, the construction of the captured Jiaozhou port, the far reaches of Liaodong in the northeast, Xiliang's entry into the Qinghai Sea, and the north's entry into the grasslands, etc., are all under development and construction.

This is all consuming Liu Chen's points.

Fortunately, while they were developing and building, they were also fighting foreign wars, so the points were not consumed rapidly and remained at the level of 10 billion.

Putting the system points in his mind aside and guessing that the news from Yizhou would arrive in the capital in a few hours, Liu Chen looked at the generals in front of him.

Nowadays, Umrah meeting is being held, which can be regarded as a supplement to the morning umrah. Since Liu Chen came to the throne, he has been working hard and taking care of everything!

There are simply countless gatherings like this morning court meeting, small court meeting after the next court meeting, etc. to discuss national affairs, and they are extremely busy.

The civil servants and generals below are also Liu Chen's old team. They followed Liu Chen from King Changshan all the way to the old officials who ascended the throne as emperor.

Nowadays, they are also the civil servants and generals who stand at the pinnacle of this national machine.

When Guo Jia was handing over his report to the Northeast, it was Huang Zhong's memorial regarding the completion of the construction of the naval base in the Haitouwai area.

At this point, Liu Chen's system once had a beep. Under the acceleration of krypton gold, the project that clearly required more than a year was suddenly reduced to half a year.

After conquering Goguryeo, Buyeo and Sushen, Huang Zhong returned to Lelang County to replenish logistical supplies, and then set off back to that land again.

It means transporting engineering troops there and constructing a port at the seaport next to Goguryeo.

This belongs to the Heilongjiang River Basin and the Amur River Basin. Its outlet is the Okhotsk Strait in later generations, and a little further down is the Japan Strait.

That is Khabarovsk, Sea Cucumber Wai, and Sakhalin.

Huang Zhong has already built a naval base, but the completion of the base construction is dependent on the use of the land.

With Liu Chen's current krypton gold acceleration, coupled with the use of cement and other technologies, it is not surprising that the construction of the base is so fast. only.

The problem comes again.

The nearby sea area has been in a frozen zone all year round, and the ice and snow melt in less than a quarter of the year.

With their current wooden ships, it is impossible to break through the ice and sail!

If we wait until the ice and snow melt, then the construction of the naval base will be of little significance.

"……Your Majesty, General Huang's idea is whether we can add hard steel in front of the ships and warships.

In addition to protecting warships, it can also break ice and navigate...

As long as we break through the Japanese island chain and enter the Pacific Ocean that His Majesty mentioned, the shipping route will be unobstructed.、"

Entering the Pacific Ocean...

Liu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

He did say at the beginning that crossing the Japanese country is the Pacific Ocean, and crossing the other side of the Pacific Ocean is the Americas.

But.

Even with the technological level of later generations, ships sailing around the Pacific Ocean are at risk of accidental shipwrecks, let alone today's Han Dynasty.

There is no nautical chart, so I don’t know where there are islands that can replenish fresh water resources, I don’t know the wind direction and currents in that sea area, etc.

Even the most important positioning at sea cannot be solved in a short time. certainly.

Liu Chen has knowledge from later generations, coupled with the artifact of the system. This also allowed him to research the sextant!

This can solve the positioning problem of warship crews at sea and prevent navigators from getting lost when exploring the ocean.

Their voyages can be used to locate and chart the voyages to facilitate those who come after them.

Coupled with the telescope that has come out, Liu Chen's navy officers can minimize risks when exploring the ocean. only.

Liu Chen's original plan to enter the Americas was for the army to go from the Far East of Los Angeles to the Bering Strait by land, then cross the strait and enter the Americas from Alaska.

For the Navy, build a naval base, then cross the Kuril Islands, pass through the Bering Sea, and enter the Americas from the Aleutian Islands connected to Alaska.

Crossing the Pacific or something, I’m thinking too much for the time being.

When the long-term experience of this kind of long-sea voyage is accumulated, whether it is navigation experience or navigation technology, etc., it will develop to a certain level.

Only Liu Chen would let his navy explore the Pacific Ocean.

Like now.

Because the sea near Sakhalin is affected by weather and is in a frozen state, icebreakers have to be considered.

If steel is applied to warships, won't it develop to the level of ironclad ships in the future?

Navigation technology needs to break through difficulties and tribulations again and again, and it also requires repeated exploration, repeated needs, mutual help and mutual benefit, and mutual feedback and development.

It can’t be achieved overnight and spread directly across the Pacific Ocean!

While thoughts were swirling, Liu Chen nodded and said,"Huang Zhong has a good idea. Let the shipyards and science and technology institutes try to coat the warships with a layer of steel."

Liu Chen's goal is to use steam power, metal hulls, Ironclad ship with armor and artillery.

But with today's technological level and steel production, this can only exist in fantasy.

But it’s never wrong to give it a try.

Many civil servants and military generals have expressed their opinions on this issue.

There is talk of giving up the bitter cold zone of Sakhalin Island and directly conquering Japan, and building a naval base from here to serve as a springboard for far-sea plans.

There is also talk about whether gunpowder can be used to blast the ice so that the battleship will not be damaged.

There are many opinions, and the suggestions and opinions are actually very good and constructive.

However, these issues of navigation and exploration can be left to the end. Liu Chen specifically told Xun Yu to be optimistic about logistics, and the Han army in the Far East must receive the most adequate logistics.

The most important thing is the issue of warmth, which must be taken care of. That area would literally freeze to death.

After talking about the Northeast, everyone turned their attention to Xiliang, Jiaozhou and other areas.

After talking for several hours, when Liu Chen was about to leave the meeting, Chang Shi came in a hurry to report that there was news from Yizhou.

Liu Chen read it over and found out that he had actually known it for a long time, but he had to pretend, otherwise he couldn't explain it.

After reading it, he passed the letter on.

After reading it, many civil servants and generals were pleasantly surprised. They all praised Fazheng's outstanding strategy, praised Guan Zhang and other Jingzhou troops for their tacit cooperation with the Yizhou army, and so on.

This is also a big victory!

Liu Chen asked the ministers and rewarded the Yizhou generals.

Then he said:"Do you have any good strategies for the beast soldiers that Guan Yu and the others mentioned?"

Many civil servants and generals fell into deep thought.

According to what Guan Yu and others said, if the beast soldiers can be eliminated, the danger of the Southern Barbarian coalition will be reduced to seventy-eight percent in an instant, which is nothing to be afraid of!

"Your Majesty, you can use gunpowder to blow them up!"

"What a brilliant idea! Just the sound of gunpowder can scare the beast army!"

"Didn’t the Chinese Academy of Sciences create a grenade that puts gunpowder into a bamboo tube? You can rush to Yizhou battlefield to try it!"

"But even if this group of Southern Barbarian rebels were killed, another group of Southern Barbarian rebels appeared, which was simply treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"

"That's right! If the Southern Barbarian rebels cannot be made to surrender, and if they are sincerely convinced, killing them will only relieve temporary needs!"

"We must think of a foolproof strategy, otherwise the troubles of the Southern Barbarians will never be solved!"

Many civil servants and generals have been thinking hard for a long time, but it is still difficult to find a strategy in a short time.

If the Southern Barbarian rebels are completely annihilated, many military generals present have many strategies. With their experience in hundreds of battles, they are absolutely sure of it!

But.

Even if this is It is useless to kill one batch of Nanman rebels, and the next batch, and the next batch. It is impossible for them to kill all the tribes and people of Yizhou Nanman, right?

So the problem that gives them a headache is, how Only in this way can we defeat the Southern Barbarian rebels sincerely, without killing them all and creating uncontrollable hatred!

If we defeat them, we also need to solve the problem of beast soldiers first.

Liu Chen looked at the intelligence above 'Meng Huo'’、‘Mrs. Zhu Rong’、‘King Mulu’、‘Wutu bone’、‘Words such as"Legion of Beasts" reminded me of Zhuge Liang.

The original history is that Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and made Meng Huo and other southern barbarian coalition forces surrender to the Han.

Not only did he truly return home, but he also helped the Yizhou Army on many expeditions later.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang used the strategy and strength of seven captures and seven maneuvers to convince Meng Huo.

It can be seen from this that Meng Huo can be regarded as a person who knows etiquette, justice and integrity.

The advantages of recruiting this person outweigh the disadvantages!

"Zhuge Liang also had to deal with the beast soldiers at the beginning. It seems that he invented a fire-breathing machine beast and then defeated the beast soldiers.……"

Liu Chen thought for a while and found out that he had a test question from the imperial examination - if the war in Yizhou was included in the military examination questions of the imperial examination, how would these candidates perform?

Will Zhuge Liang invent this fire beast this time like he did last time?

The more Liu Chen thought about it, the more reliable it became.

This move can greatly test the ability of the scholars and prepare in advance for the arrangements for the Jinshi examination.

Those who have military capabilities will be assigned to the army. Those who are able to govern the world and serve as ministers should go down and take charge of the government. Other aspects can also be arranged in various positions.

Nowadays, what the Han Dynasty lacks most is talents. As long as these people are not mediocre, they will definitely be allocated!

While Liu Chen was having many thoughts, the civil servants and generals present came up with many ideas.

Guo Jia, Xun You and others proposed to visit the scene in person to direct the dispatch.

Liu Chen naturally trusted their abilities, but he couldn't do without the help of these people. Moreover, Liu Chen also fully recognized Fazheng and other Yizhou advisers.

After discussing for a while without any results, we temporarily adjourned the meeting.
