Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Lan Yuan waved his halberd forward, and the soldiers and horses of all the battalions moved according to the order, and followed behind the chariot, shouting to hide and kill.

The war elephants were originally the reliance of Lin Yiguo, but they turned against each other so that people were caught off guard. The holy elephant general Fante puffed up his cheeks and honked, but today's elephants are completely out of control.

The elephants rampaged like hills, smashing Linyi's army to pieces, and Qu Jin drew his sword to kill several deserters, but unfortunately the collapse could not be recovered.

The Zhan people shouted and ran around, but the wide Hoi An River behind them became a stumbling block on their way to escape, but the moment of life and death did not allow them to hesitate, and they dropped their weapons and jumped into the water.

The Han army drove the elephants and Zhan troops into the Hoi An River like a pig.

Zhanren is short, strong and flexible, and most of them can swim, but because Wang Qujin is obese, he hesitates to jump into the river to escape for his life.

Ou Jin called for guards to escort him many times, but unfortunately no one cared about the imminent disaster, and was finally captured alive by Gao Ling who rushed over.

In the Battle of Hoi An River, the Jiaozhou army completely defeated the main force of Linyi, and only a few hundred survived in the water. The war elephant army that the district entered relied on, because the main general was captured by Samoko. After crossing the river, the elephant group broke away from control and went west in twos and threes. side of the forest to escape.

After the battle, Lan Yuan ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time ordered people to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river. He couldn't wait to break through the capital city of Linyi, and wanted to rush back to Guangzhou to report to Lantian as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived at the capital of Linyi. From a distance, they saw that the gates of the city were closed tightly, as if they were planning to fight trapped beasts.

Seeing this, Lan Yuan frowned, "What do these occupying people mean? They still refuse to surrender?"

Yu Fan cupped his hands and replied: "Although we are recovering the territory for the great Han, occupying people's eyes is an act of destroying the country. I guess it will take a lot of work."

"A lot of prisoners have been captured in the past two days. If the monkeys in the city resist stubbornly, we will kill them all." Gao Ling clenched his fists.

Gao Shun frowned and said, "Boyang hasn't spoken yet, so don't talk nonsense. If he just kills, won't he cause trouble for Governor Yu?"

"Uh... let them persuade you to surrender if you don't kill them? We can't support idlers..." Gao Ling muttered.

Lan Yuan nodded lightly, "Yuanfeng (Gao Ling) is right, you captured the enemy's chieftain, so you take him to the city to try to persuade him to surrender. If you are stubborn, let's fight for a few more days."

"It is said that before Qu entered and left for the expedition, he left his own son Qu Mi to guard the city. He would not be rebellious, would he?" Shamoke asked wonderingly.

Yu Fan shook his head and replied: "The customs of occupying people are very different from those in the Central Plains, and they follow the tradition of noble women and inferior men. There is no such thing as filial piety..."

"Anyway, try it first." Lan Yuan nodded lightly. He had interrogated many prisoners in the past two days, and the answers he got were similar to Yu Fan's, but it would not hurt to try.

Gao Ling escorted Ou Jin into the city to persuade him to surrender. The guards on the city wall saw that the king was indifferent. After the two chattered a few words, Gao Yuan noticed that Ou Jin's black face lost all color in an instant. .

Through the interpreter of the accompanying soldiers, the dignified young man on the top of the city is the prince Ou Mi of the Linyi Kingdom. He became the new king after Ou Jin was captured. At this time, Ou Mi no longer recognizes his relatives. He just said that he would live and die with the capital. If Ou Jin continues to persuade him to surrender, he will be shot immediately.

Ou Mi's arrogance stunned Gao Ling, thinking that such an unethical capital would be a disaster in the world, and when he failed to persuade him to surrender and returned to his mission, Lan Yuan was already prepared.

"Since Zhanren is obsessed with obsession, it's time to fight again to let them see the might of the great man Tianwei." Lan Yuan finished speaking seriously, and then ordered Chu Qing: "Chu Sima, immediately send someone to Hoi An Port, and take the remaining The thirty siege vehicles have all been brought in, and what my father said is true, if you want long-term peace and stability, you must rely on force to deter them."

"Wei." Chu Qing cupped his fists and left.

"Yuanfeng (Gao Ling), go and gather the captives. They will attack the city first in the first round. I want to see how cold-blooded Mi Mi is in that area." Lan Yuan frowned.

After hearing this, Sha Moke quickly reminded: "Major General, should he be an ordinary prisoner? It's a pity to die like King Linyi..."

Lan Yuan nodded lightly, "Well, the traitor leaders naturally don't need to attack the city, they will be left to the Yu prefect for public trial in the future, it would be a pity to send them to death..."

"That's good, that's good, I'll follow along to help." Shamoke smiled and followed behind Gao Ling.

Yu Fan asked in bewilderment: "General Sha is so strange today, he seems to be speaking for prisoners of war..."

Gao Shun shook his head and smiled wryly: "General Sha is protecting his prisoners of war. He accidentally captured General Spirit Snake alive the night before, and General Holy Elephant yesterday, so he made a crooked idea and wanted to learn from the Fan brothers how to control snakes and control them." elephant……"

"Snake control can only be used as a surprise attack. It has little effect in large-scale battles, but the war elephant army is indeed oppressive and powerful. If Fanxi hadn't finished taming, we might not have gone so smoothly in this battle." Lan Yuan nodded in agreement.

Yu Fanshuo said: "General Sha instantly killed Fan Shanhu, the number one warrior of the Zhan tribe, and instantly became a nightmare in Zhan people's hearts. If General Sha was left in Nichinan to train like a snake, it would definitely ensure the peace of Nichinan County. Who will be left behind?"

Gao Shun frowned and said: "Sir, let me arrange it myself before leaving. After all, the number one warrior of the Zhan tribe is like that. There is no need for the general to stay here. Originally, I suggested that Yuanfeng (Gao Ling) stay for training. Since the prefect Yu has I will discuss this idea with Boyang later.”

"Well, in fact, you don't need to be too forceful. The important thing is to focus on the important affairs of the King of Hanzhong. The old man is confident in controlling Rinan County. After the war, let General Lan transfer some young officials. If it is not enough, let Li Cao select a group." Yu Fan slightly laughed.

When there is an urgent need for employment, it shows the advantages of Jiaozhou's system. The talents trained by the college are willing to serve as officials in remote places because of their humble backgrounds. The less people go, the more opportunities they have.

If Lantian hadn't introduced the system of examination and selection of officials, the recovery of Rinan County would have faced the use of local tyrants, and most of the officials Yu Fan would appoint in the future would only be Zhan aristocrats, which would lay a hidden danger for the rebellion of the Zhan people.

Gao Shun nodded slightly, "Prefect Yu served as the head of Li Cao, and the officials of Li Cao will definitely help you..."

While the siege vehicle was being transported, Gao Shun began to attack the city with the captives of the occupying people. Xinwang Qumi ordered that all invaders be merciless on the grounds of subjugation and genocide, and a large number of captives died tragically in the hands of his own people.

On the afternoon of the second day, when the siege vehicles arrived at the battlefield, Lan Yuan did not adopt the tactic of encircling three and missing one. He did not set up a main attack and an auxiliary attack. Those who break the city remember the first merit.

The four sides started fighting at the same time, all fighting in full swing, and the soldiers and civilians in the city fell into panic in an instant.

In less than half a day, the Zhanren guard at the south gate knew that he would die if he kept guarding. At this time, there was still a chance for Xiancheng to surrender, so he tied the new king to the tower with his followers while Ou Mi was exhausted and fell asleep, and then opened the south gate Dedicate the city to Shamoko.

On April 25th in the third year of Yankang, Linyi Kingdom was captured by the Southern Expedition Army. From the beginning of entering Rinan County to the end of the battle, the battle of destroying the country only took [-] days.

Chapter 762 Is Elephant Meat So Taste Like This?

After the capital city of Linyi Kingdom was captured, Lanyuan County affairs were directly handed over to the prefect Yu Fan, and Gao Shun and Sha Moke were assisted in controlling the situation. He and Gao Ling led hundreds of soldiers and headed to the south mysteriously.

Yu Fanxin, who was over [-] years old, took office, and first restored Linyi to the Han name Xianglin County;

Secondly, public and centralized trial of treasoners, to catch the big and let go of the small, to give both kindness and power to the officials of the Zhan nationality, to cooperate with the Wuxi barbarians in Shamoke to implement military control, and to introduce the advanced system of Jiaozhou after the situation in Rinan County stabilizes;

Finally, Guangfu Square was built in Xianglin City, and the stone stele of meritorious service was erected in the center of the square for people to admire. Yu Fan wrote the names of the people who made meritorious deeds with his own hands, and asked the mason to engrave these names on the stone stele, including Lanyuan, Gaoshun, Sha More than [-] people including Mo Ke, Li Yi, and Chu Qing.

On April 28, led by the old King Qujin and the new King Qumi, more than [-] treasonous Zhan officials, generals, soldiers and other criminals were taken to the north gate of Xianglin at the same time, and they were executed in a concentrated manner while kneeling facing Chengdu. Fan asked all residents of Xianglin City that each family must send a representative out of the city to observe the sentence.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the situation was violent.

The prisoners kneeling on the ground are like wild flowers, and the cold light is like a strong wind harvesting the earth, leaving only rows of rhizomes in the end.

Troubled times require heavy codes. Yu Fan stands on the head of Xianglin City like a god of death. He uses the blood of the dead to warn the living.

Since the Ou family rebelled and became self-reliant, apart from being able to ensure the continuous support of the royal family, they have never cared about the lives of ordinary people, so even if Yu Fan killed a lot of people, they did not show any compassion for the Ou family.

In troubled times, the people’s thinking is very simple, that is, to live their lives in peace, but most of the superiors regard the people as worthless, and the people are burdened with heavy taxes and corvees. It is not much different from the local ordinary people, and they will soon be able to adapt to the new policy.

On April 29th, Lan Yuan and Gao Ling returned to Xianglin from the south. Under the leadership of local guides, they found the 'Champa Rice' that Lan Tian was thinking of.

At this time, the Champa rice had only been sown for a month, and the seedlings brought back were only a few inches high and short. Lan Yuan asked someone to make a wooden box out of wooden boards, and dug out the seedlings and soil from the field.

In addition to the rice obtained from the fields of the tribal people, many wild rice seeds were also found from places such as river beaches, mountain streams, and slope forests, and a total of more than [-] plants were excavated.

When Lan Yuan returned to the city, he asked the fallen army to gather, and was ready to return to Guangzhou immediately to find Lan Tian to return to his command. This action made Xiang Lin, who had just settled down, restless again.

Yu Fan and Sha Moke came to the barracks to persuade them to stay, "The soldiers have worked hard all the way to the south, and they only rested for a few days after making great achievements. Why are you so anxious to turn around?"

"Although Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains, it borders on the east of the Yangtze River after all. The trapped army has been staying in Rinan for a long time. Sun Quan may be coveted. It is better to go back earlier. Besides, the newly obtained rice seeds also need to be transplanted." Lan Yuan nodded and explained. .

Yu Fan smiled and asked, "I just saw it outside the camp, but the seedlings newly picked by the Major General are like weeds, far less robust than the current rice seeds in Jiaozhou. What do you want to do with them?"

Lantian only told a few people about the miraculous use of Champa rice. The Jiaozhou rice that Yu Fan saw was only the seeds selected by Guangzhou agricultural researchers, and it was basically the rice seeds of Jingnan and Jiaozhou.

The two-line hybrid rice that Lantian has been researching requires a large number of farmers to carry out artificial pollination, and there is no way to popularize the planting. It is still planted as a sample in the experimental field.

Upon seeing this, Gao Shun said: "Mr. is very interested in new crops. Boyang didn't have any decent spoils this trip, so it's a good idea to go to the south of Xianglin to pick some rice seeds for him back."

"The spoils? Do you want to take the two elephants away..." Shamoke stopped abruptly when he saw Gao Shun shaking his head.

"General Lan's intensive farming, Mr. Yu heard about it when he was in Guangzhou. This kind of hobby is comparable to ancient sages, but it is really inconvenient for the seedlings to travel far. Let General Li take them away with a boat first, and we will recover the battle report of Nichinan They should be arriving in Guangzhou soon, right? In fact, the entrapped army can take the sea route, otherwise it would be too hard to go back and forth for thousands of miles..." Yu Fanxu made a suggestion.

"There is no problem for the seedlings to travel by water, but the soldiers have to return by land. The thousands of miles away is considered training. It is really not a hardship for the fallen army." Lan Yuan said indifferently.

"I finally understand where the army is strong..." Yu Fan looked at the sky while sighing, and then cupped his hands to persuade him, "It's almost noon now, why don't you rest overnight and start tomorrow morning? The soldiers haven't even had a celebration banquet yet." manage……"

"What's going on?" Lan Yuan was surprised after hearing this, thinking that he had been away for several days, why didn't he even have a good meal?If Xianglincheng really can't do it, Li Yi can go to the boat to pick it up. They captured Rinan County in half a month and saved a lot of rations.

Gao Shun joked with a smile: "Without you, the commander of the fallen army, how would the soldiers dare to eat well by themselves?"

Lan Yuanxin said that you guys are really good, why is my prestige not as high as Uncle Gao's?Your reason for keeping people is really unique.

"Uh...then let's stay for one more night." Lan Yuan nodded awkwardly, and then told Gao Ling: "The seedlings in the camp are precious, so we must send someone to guard them all night."

"Don't worry about Boyang." Gao Ling clasped his fists sonorously.

As soon as Yu Fan, Sha Moke and others left, Lan Yuan leaned over to Gao Shun's side with a look of embarrassment, "We have to prepare a celebration banquet for tens of thousands of people in such a short time, and I don't know if we can buy it in the city. If you have enough ingredients, you must restrain your subordinates from plundering people’s wealth, otherwise it will leave a bad impression on the people of Xianglin...how can you get so much meat?"

"Hahaha, Boyang, you look just like your husband now. Are these trivial matters considered by your dignified commander? Only Taishou Yu and General Sha will prepare the ingredients for the banquet. Let's go there with an open mouth at night..." Gao Shun laughed. .

"You asked General Sha to prepare? He won't kill a few elephants to make up for it?" Lan Yuan asked in surprise.

Gao Shun smiled mysteriously: "General Sha has already taken over this matter, how can there be less meat in the celebration banquet? Even killing an elephant is understandable..."

Gao Ling stared like copper bells, thinking that the elephant was 'invulnerable', if he really wanted to kill it for meat, he didn't know how many hours it would have to be stewed...

As the sun was setting in the evening, Lan Yuan and Gao Shun came outside the city, and Sha Moke found a large open space to hold a banquet for ten thousand people in the evening breeze.

As soon as Lan Yuan sat down, he smelled the aroma of meat. Sha Moke personally brought a bowl of broth to him.

"Major General, this meat soup is cooked by my people, please taste it quickly..."

Seeing that Samoko was so enthusiastic, Lanyuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to chew. The tender and rustling feeling was very special, so he frowned and said to himself: "Does elephant meat taste like this..."

Chapter 763 How strong is it if it is stronger

Sha Moke scratched his head in confusion: "Elephant meat? Isn't the major general eating snake soup?"

The same fragrance in front of Lan Yuan was wafting everywhere, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he put down his chopsticks and frowned and asked, "Snake soup? Where did you get so many snakes..."

"Major General probably guessed it, we arrested and killed thousands of them on the rocky beach..." Shamoke had a silly smile on his face.

Lan Yuan pretended to be calm and put down the bowl, with a questioning tone: "Aren't all the poisonous snakes that night? Forget that I asked you to bury them together?"

"But it's all meat. It's a pity to bury it and feed it to the soil. The poisonous snake can be eaten after treatment..." Samoke explained with his head down.

"Is it okay?" Lan Yuan looked at Gao Shun to confirm.

Gao Shun shook his head and replied, "I saw General Sha eating yesterday, so there shouldn't be any problem. I'll ask you sir when I get back to Guangzhou. Anyway, our military doctor is also there."

"Uh..." Lan Yuan didn't know how to answer.

Sha Moke patted his chest and assured: "Major General, but don't worry, most of my people were hunters. What kind of snakes and insects have I never eaten? As long as the treatment is done properly, the poison in the snake's body will be removed. I am not alive and well now. ?”

Lan Yuan nodded lightly, "This is also the end of the war. If you accidentally eat a poisonous snake during the march, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

"No, no, my husband and I have been together for so many years, we can tell which is more important." Sha Moke accompanied him with a smiling face.

Lan Yuan felt that he was fine, so he turned his head and said to Gao Shun, "Since there is no problem with the snake soup, let the soldiers have a good meal, but I have never hosted a celebration banquet, how about you do it for me today?"

Gao Shun smiled slightly: "Actually, it's nothing special. I'll just make a sample for you today, but you know that I never drink alcohol. It's up to Boyang himself whether to accept the toast or not."

"Yeah." Lan Yuan nodded slightly.

After Yu Fan recaptured Xianglin City, he temporarily imposed a curfew in the city. After dusk, all the pedestrians on the street returned to their homes. After the celebration banquet for thousands of people began under the auspices of Gao Shun, the wilderness outside the city became boiling for a while.

During the banquet, the soldiers ate meat and drank wine, and the atmosphere gradually became cheerful.

Holding a wine glass, Shamoke brought two 'acquaintances' to Lan Yuan and Gao Shun, who were the captured Fan brothers.

In the wilderness, in front of the bonfire surrounded by soldiers, there is snake soup cooked by Wuximan as the main course. Fant saw that the poisonous snake he raised has now become the meat in the mouth of the Han army, and the feeling in his heart is really mixed. List.

"I will introduce to you. This is the former commander of the fallen army, General Gao, and this is the current commander of the fallen army, General Lan. They are also the main and deputy commanders of the Southern Expedition..."

Shamoke tried his best to introduce Gao Shun and Lanyuan, but they didn't know the strength in front of them. The tribe where the Fan brothers belonged to was relatively primitive. Ke is the strongest existence. After all, Fan Shanhu, the number one fighter, was instantly killed by Samo Ke.

After being captured, the Fan brothers were treated with courtesy by Shamoko, which was also the fundamental reason why the two were willing to surrender. Surrendering to become a prisoner of the strong is not a shame in their tribe.

"General Lan, General Gao, thank you two generals for exempting my people from the death penalty..." The two saluted with fists clasped according to the Han military salute.

Lan Yuan frowned and looked at Gao Shun, then nodded lightly and said: "You should thank General Sha, if he hadn't begged hard, the Fan clan would have been exiled to the island even if it wasn't a capital crime..."

"Our brothers and clansmen will do our best to serve General Sha...no, to train war elephants for the Han army..." Vant clasped his fists and replied.

Lan Yuan frowned and pinched his bare chin, and asked him a curious question: "I remember that you are Lin Yi's General Spirit Snake, why did you go to tame elephants with your brother?"

Fant was stunned on the spot and didn't know how to answer. The difficulty of catching and raising poisonous snakes is no less than that of elephants, but sending them to the battlefield is not as useful as war elephants. The most important thing is that all those snakes were sacrificed to the temple of the five internal organs, and it is completely meaningless to build them from scratch.

Fanxi scratched his head and explained to Fante: "Actually, taming snakes is similar to taming elephants..."

Seeing that the two men hesitated and couldn't get to the point, Sha Moke quickly took the chatterbox and said with a smile: "Hey, the Viper Legion is useless, but the war elephants look majestic and domineering. The Fan clan has domesticated more than 200 elephants, and there is one more person. Go to be responsible for training, and the war elephant army will be formed sooner, and I will take them to the Central Plains at that time, and my husband will be very happy to see it."

Gao Shun nodded lightly: "Forget it, General Sha wants to stay at Nichinan anyway, so it's right to do something, you can figure it out yourself."

"Hey, thank you General to say hello to Mr. for me." Shamoke finished with a smile, then handed the wine glass to Lan Yuan and said, "General Gao doesn't drink, so I have to ask the young general to drink alone, because I have to go on the road tomorrow, and I don't want to drink too much." I won't persuade you much."

Lan Yuan took the wine glass with a smile, and then drank it down, "I ate General Sha's snake soup today. When you return to Guangzhou, I will treat you to delicious Guangzhou dishes."

"Hey, I'm waiting for that day." Shamoke replied with a smile.

When the Fan brothers followed Shamoke back, they were discussing something in Zhan language.

"What are you discussing in Zhan language? Are you trying to make some crazy idea? Forgot my order?" Shamoke stopped in his tracks.

Fant swallowed his saliva, clasped his fists and explained in Chinese: "General, please forgive me, we are only discussing the two generals Lan and Gao, and we don't have any wrong thoughts..."

"What are you talking about them for?" Shamoko frowned.
