The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"Huh? Qi Ling, why did you come here to find me today? Haven't you been recruiting your women's camp recently? Why are you free?"

"Your Majesty doesn't care too much about me. I have already recruited all the people last month, and I have been busy with training recently."

"Oh? I'm a little ignorant about gathering people so quickly. How many people have you recruited in total?"

In fact, Liu Zheng knew exactly how many people Lu Qiling had recruited recently, and his Jin Yiwei would occasionally tell him the news.

It's just that Liu Zheng didn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart. Even if he knew it, he just nodded and didn't care about it.

When Lu Qiling heard Liu Zheng's question, she was actually a bit proud. She didn't treat Liu Zheng like an emperor at all in front of Liu Zheng. Her tone of voice was as natural as a little sister meeting a big brother.

"Your Majesty, guess how many people I recruited?"

"A few thousand I suppose?"

"No, no, thousands of people, I don't like it. The people I want to find are elites, but not just anyone can join my heroine camp. I have set a total of 1000 people, or from all over the world. They were carefully selected, and dozens of them are all sisters who graduated from military schools!"

Lu Qiling was very proud.

The reason why she thinks this way is actually influenced by her uncle Gao Shun.

Gao Shun's subordinate camp never won by numbers, but by the elite mode. Most of the soldiers and horses under him were the elite among the elite. Speaking of which, they were all selected from hundreds of thousands of people. powerful person.

In the early days, there were only a few hundred people, and it was only when Liu Zheng worked under him that the number gradually expanded to about 3000.

These 3000 people were selected from Liu Zheng's nearly 30 troops, and they were all of good strength.

And Lu Qiling thought the same thing in her heart, she never relied on numbers, as long as the individual strength is the strongest, even if there are only a thousand people, they can exert the combat power of ten thousand people, or even tens of thousands.

Lu Qiling firmly believed in this point, after all, Gao Shun's camp was a good example.

And what Lu Qiling has to do is to set up a female version of the camp.

At that time, they will face off against Gao Shun's trapped camp, and compare to see who is stronger.

"1000 people is not too little, yes, then you should train more frequently, and when you train well, I will allow you to lead troops to the battlefield!"

"No, Your Majesty, I have let them train for more than a month, and I found that there is nothing wrong with them. The only problem is the lack of actual combat, so I want to get rid of Your Majesty. Bring it, we can act as guards for His Majesty."

"If there is danger, I can let these female soldiers practice on the battlefield. After all, I heard that those pirates are not very strong. It would be better to use them for training."

Lu Qiling's idea was very simple, she wanted to go to Kyushu Island with Liu Zheng, and use the natives of Kyushu Island to train her female soldiers.

When Liu Zheng heard Lu Qiling's words, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Chapter 897 Kyushu

Liu Zheng was originally unwilling to take Lu Qiling to Kyushu Island.

After all, going to Kyushu Island this time, although the danger is not particularly great, but no matter what, you need to fight Yan Baihu, so there must be danger.

The female soldiers under Lu Qiling had just been recruited not long ago, and they didn't have much combat experience. It would be too harsh to let them go directly to the battlefield.

The casualties might be huge, and it seemed somewhat irrational to let them go to the battlefield without much experience.

But thinking that going to Kyushu Island this time is an expedition after all, if there is no female companion by his side, Liu Zheng will be more or less boring.

So Liu Zheng planned to take the concubines of his own harem with him, and the number of people didn't need to be too many, just bring a Mi Zhen along with him.And Mi Zhen is usually closer to Lu Qiling.

If Liu Zheng wanted to take Mi Zhen with him, he might as well bring Lu Qiling's female generals with him.

As Lu Qiling said, what the female generals lack is actual combat, and these natives on Kyushu Island should be weaker in comparison, and they can be used as soldiers and horses to train these female soldiers.

In this way, after Lu Qiling begged twice, Liu Zheng still agreed.

This is also considering that Mi Zhen is a woman, and it is not convenient to live. It may be better to have the company of girl groups like Lu Qiling.

A few days later.

The pier of Jianye City.

Zhou Tai and Zu Lang's navy lined up in turn.

Jiang Qin has taken the lead with [-] soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and at the same time transported grain and grass to pave the way for Liu Zheng in advance.

The remaining [-] troops and nearly a hundred ships are stationed here. With Liu Zheng's order, the [-] troops can go directly to Kyushu Island.

This is Liu Zheng's main force to flatten Kyushu Island.

Civil and military officials sent Liu Zheng off respectfully on the pier, but Liu Zheng did not bring Lu Bu and others with him this time.However, Jin Yiwei still had to bring it.

After all, Jin Yiwei is some of the people he relies on most.

The auxiliary ministers present saluted one by one, and Liu Zheng explained a few words to let them handle the next government affairs, and then took Lu Qiling, Mi Zhen and others to board the ship.

The ship slowly left Yangzhou and headed directly to Kyushu Island.

Although sailing on the sea, Zhou Tai and others have traveled several times, and they are no strangers to going to Kyushu Island.However, it still takes a few days to travel the past time by boat.

end of September.

The boat of Liu Zheng and others appeared on a small island outside Kyushu.

A stretch of sandy beach, washed by the sea, the waves leaping, slapping on the coast, making the sound of thin water flow.

With the not too hot sunshine at the end of September and the sea breeze blowing, it is really a bit pleasant.

Accompanied by Mi Zhen, Liu Zheng got off the dragon boat.

Here, Jiang Qin and others have already deployed a camp in advance, and Liu Zheng doesn't need to worry about it, he just needs to go directly to rest.

Although Liu Zheng already knew about the existence of Kyushu Island, Liu Zheng and the others didn't know much about the specific situation on Kyushu Island.

At the same time, because of the intricate forces on Kyushu Island, Liu Zheng didn't want to land on Kyushu Island rashly.

After all, Yan Baihu has been developing in Kyushu Island for several years, and he still has more power on the island than Liu Zheng. If he goes up rashly, he will launch an attack when he is unfamiliar with the place and knows nothing about Yan Baihu. , and no benefit.

Liu Zheng, who has always been cautious, naturally decided to temporarily station his navy on a small island outside Kyushu.

This is an island that is not too big, but not small. It is a larger island composed of many small islands, and there are some indigenous people on it.

The distance from Liu Zheng's target Kyushu Island is not counted, in fact, it is only half a day's journey, but this is a small island after all, and the residents of Kyushu Island rarely come here, which forms a relatively independent situation .

Liu Zheng asked Jiang Qin to arrive here in advance, and after occupying a small island, he used the small island as a temporary camp. First, he continued to control the island, and second, he invaded Kyushu for him as a transit point and base.

Once his battle on Kyushu Island is unclear and he has not made any progress, he can return to this island for temporary cultivation.

It is better than directly setting the headquarters on Kyushu Island and being directly defeated by Kyushu Island.

When Liu Zheng came to this small island, he first asked people to investigate the situation on this small island, and then Liu Zheng started to ask people to take a boat to go to Kyushu Island to inquire about the news on Kyushu Island.

"Husband, the scenery on this island is not bad. This time we will take it as an autumn tour."

Mi Zhen snuggled up to Liu Zheng's side.

Looking at the scenery on this island, there are few people here after all. Although there are some aborigines, these aborigines are still relatively primitive and there are not many signs of civilization. The clothes they wear are simple animal skins and some rough linen .

There are many birds on the island and the scenery is pleasant.

"This is the place where the natives of Kyushu Island live well in Xiaori. They haven't suffered too much damage. There are very few wars on the island, so it's normal to have beautiful scenery. But in comparison, my Han Dynasty There are even more places with beautiful scenery, at least for my husband and I, I once reached a place called Peach Blossom Valley."

"Where the scenery is really pleasant, if possible, I really want to stay in such a paradise for the rest of my life, away from disputes, and be with you."

Of course, Liu Zheng's words are just words. A man born in the world should make great achievements, and fleeing from the world is not a hero.

Even if Liu Zheng really wants to retire, it will be after the world is unified and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Liu Zheng originally wanted to arrest two local aborigines for questioning.

However, after catching one, he found that what they said was so babbled that he couldn't understand it at all, and he looked blank when he asked them questions, so Liu Zheng gave up this plan.

He had to ask his own people to go to Kyushu Island to inquire about Yan Baihu's situation before Liu Zheng made plans.

After they spent a few days of peace on the small island, the spies and guards sent out finally gathered some information.

Liu Zheng also finally understood some detailed information on Kyushu Island.

Kyushu Island, although known as Kyushu.

But in fact, the territory is really not big, it is about half the size of Dahan's state.

If you want to talk about larger states, such as Yangzhou and Yizhou, I am afraid that there is not even a third of them.

But on Kyushu Island, there are three factions.

The indigenous country of Yamatai, Daqin in the north, and later Yan Baihu.

Chapter 898 The Demonic Horse Terrace

Great Qin in the north.

Because of the relatively long distance, Liu Zheng's spies have not been particularly clear about the investigation information in the past few days.

On the contrary, they know more about Yan Baihu and Yamatai Kingdom.

This Yamatai country was originally the largest indigenous country on Kyushu Island.

In fact, this indigenous country does not need spies to investigate, and Liu Zheng can also learn a little bit. He really existed in history.

As early as in the Book of Later Han, there is a record about Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, bestowing a gold seal on the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom.

In the History of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou of the Jin Dynasty, the Biography of the Wa in the Book of Wei used about 30 words to introduce the situation of the Wa Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms era.This article mentioned that at that time in the northeast of Kyushu Island in Japan, there was a large queen country called "Yamatai Kingdom", which had more than [-] small countries.

The queen who rules the country is "Himiko".It is recorded in the book that although the Yamatai Kingdom has always been dominated by men, after six to seventy years of continuous war, they supported Himiko as the queen.

Himiko is good at confusing people with ghosts and gods. Although he is very old, he is not married, and only his younger brother assists the government.Since Himiko became king, no outsider has been able to see her face. Only a thousand ladies and a man who delivered food entered and exited the palace.

These news are roughly the same as those found by the spies sent by Liu Zheng.

Because the people under Liu Zheng didn't understand the local language, they could only have a half-knowledge of the news about Yamatai, and they didn't know much about it.

There is more news about Yan Baihu.

When Yan Baihu arrived on Kyushu Island, it was at the time of civil strife among many tribes in Yamatai on Kyushu Island.

He took the opportunity to win over two of the more powerful tribes, and using his advanced culture and influence, he began his conquest of Kyushu Island.

In just four years, Yan Baihu easily occupied most of Kyushu Island.

And those small tribes on Kyushu Island were no match for Yan Baihu at all.

If the entire Yamatai country unites, it is still possible to confront Yan Baihu, but there are only a few scattered small tribes, and at this time, Yamatai is in a time of internal fighting.

Yan Baihu took advantage of the situation and immediately wiped out most of the tribes, turning all the tribesmen into slaves.

Today, Yan Baihu has occupied more than half of Kyushu Island and is very powerful.

Although his subordinates still only had more than [-] Han Chinese brought over from the great Han, he had at least [-] to [-] local indigenous slave troops.

These people let Yan Baihu take control and swept across the entire Kyushu Island, causing the Yamatai Kingdom that was originally controlled by Himiko to begin to disintegrate.

Liu Zheng didn't particularly care about the natives of Yamatai. He came to Kyushu Island entirely because of Yan Baihu.

Yan Baihu, a fish that slipped through the net, must be eliminated, otherwise, after Yan Baihu becomes bigger and stronger on Kyushu Island, he will definitely not let it go, and will definitely find a way to continue invading the big man.

Instead of waiting for Yan Baihu's counterattack when the time comes, it is better to eliminate Yan Baihu before Yan Baihu's wings are fledgling.

"Your Majesty, our spies have already found out that Yan Baihu is temporarily serving as his lair in a place called Kumamoto on Kyushu Island. There are [-] troops stationed there, and there are about [-] slave troops in Kashima, Nagasaki and other places. .”

"So, Yan Baihu already has [-] troops here?"

"The [-] army is only the minimum number, and there is still a certain amount of navy, but we don't know where it is yet, and the specific whereabouts of Yan Baihu have not been detected yet."

"Well, I understand. This matter cannot be rushed. Let's establish a foothold on Kyushu Island first. Zhou Tai, you lead an army of [-] to land first and take down the city closest to us. Afterwards, we will use this city as a base to continue To expand to Kyushu Island, the entire Kyushu Island must be captured within half a year."

Liu Zheng gave Zhou Tai an order.

Zhou Tai and Zu Lang immediately agreed.

Zhou Tai was the main attacking force, while Zu Lang's men and horses had not been dispatched for the time being, leading a reserve army of more than [-], who were on standby here for the time being.

Liu Zheng also doesn't need to go to the battlefield to command the battle in person. His current status no longer requires him to go to the battlefield to fight in person.

This is not only because of status, but also because if an emperor like him fights against the enemy army on the opposite side, wouldn't he lose his worth, and he also took the credit of his generals.

It is also a good choice to entrust the people under your command to do these things, so that they will be motivated to obtain some military merits.

At this time, Fukuoka Castle, Kyushu Island.

Here are some cities in the north, which can be regarded as the king's capital of Yamatai Kingdom.

Yan Baihu has been attacking Kyushu Island for a long time, but he did not come here in the end. After all, this place has the largest number of soldiers and horses among the many natives of Yamatai, and it is also the most difficult one to deal with.

In the Royal Capital, Daioh Himimaru sat on a throne made of animal bones.
