Huan Rong

Linyi State is located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, where the Cham people lived in settlements in ancient times, which is the southern part of Vietnam in later generations.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the place was Xianglin County, Rinan County, and it was called Linyi.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the county's meritorious Cao took the opportunity to cause chaos, killing elephants and Lin County magistrate, and established himself on his own, calling him the king of Linyi.

The folk customs in this place are aggressive, and both men and women are dark-skinned and ignorant of etiquette.Men don't wear gowns, are naked and barefoot, and don't want to cultivate the fields. Most of them make a living by fishing, hunting and plundering.

During the Three Kingdoms period, King Linyi took advantage of the great chaos in the Central Plains and frequent wars. Sun Wu had no time to look south, and successively sent troops to annex Daqijie, Xiaoqijie, Shipu and other countries, and his strength increased greatly, with more than [-] troops.

Because he was afraid of Sun Wu's military strength, King Linyi took the initiative to send envoys to pay tribute, wishing that Sui Gong would be a minister, and Bianzhou would be considered stable for a period of time.

Later, because Sun Wu concentrated all his strength against Cao Wei, the troops in Jiaozhou were once empty. The king of Linyi saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to send troops. He captured Rinan County in World War I and killed more than [-] people under the prefect. Pile up to worship the sky.

The Jiaozhou Assassin was incapable of destroying them, so he could only watch as King Linyi occupied Rinan and refused to leave.When the imperial court sent reinforcements, Linyi knew how powerful it was, and hurriedly sent someone to tell the assassin of Jiaozhou that he was willing to withdraw half of the land, and asked to use Hengshan, the north and the south, as the boundary.

The imperial court was meeting the northern soldiers, and had no choice but to grant their request.

After the Western Jin Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty unified the Central Plains, Lin Yi was awed by the majesty of the Han Dynasty, and once again sent envoys to pay tribute to become a minister.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, during the Yongjia Rebellion, the Jin family crossed the river and established a political power in Jiankang, and the northern land was occupied by the Hu people.Linyi no longer pays tribute, and invades Jiaozhou every year, burning, killing and looting. The border people have suffered for a long time.

By the time of the Huan Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, Huan Rong adopted Xie An's suggestion to wipe out the bandits who dared to invade the border, even if they fled into the mountains, they would also encircle and suppress them until they were all wiped out.They also used caravans to deliver news, bought the chieftains of the barbarians, and secretly provoked divisions, causing chaos in Linyi, one after another, and in just a few years, five or six kings were changed.

The descendants of the original lord died. Although the current king of Linyi has royal blood, he does not have the same surname as the lord, but is the nephew of the former lord.

Because he is usurping the throne and taking power, and he has another surname, he is afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, so he always looks for opportunities to prove his martial arts.

Li Xun, the prefect of Jiuzhen, was dissatisfied with the imperial court, brazenly rebelled, and secretly sent envoys to Linyi State to borrow troops from the lord in the name of in-laws.

Li Xun had a concubine who was born in a powerful family in Jiaozhou, and her name was Han. However, she intermarried with the Zhan people during the Jin Dynasty, and she was born with dark skin.

In order to borrow troops, Li Xun did not hesitate to call himself Yi Di's son-in-law, even if he was a confidant, he was not ashamed.

Upon receiving the letter, King Linyi was overjoyed immediately, called a group of ministers to discuss, quickly made a decision, and sent troops!

Bing is expensive and fast, and the people of Linyi also know this truth.

Not long after Li Xun sent the letter, a large number of Linyi generals appeared on the border between Rinan and Jiuzhen.

Most of the generals wore rattan armor, while the soldiers were bare-chested, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, including bone, bronze, and iron.Most of the bone wares were self-made, while the bronze and iron wares were mostly looted.

Especially ironware, all from Jiaozhou, with different marks on them, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Cao Wei Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, spanning more than a hundred years.

Lin Yi's soldiers knocked on the side, and the Rinan prefect turned pale with fright, took advantage of the location to block the first wave of attacks, and quickly sent someone to the state government for help.

Jiaozhou's troops are insufficient, but with Ningzhou soldiers stationed there, they will be able to repel the enemy until the reinforcements arrive.

The people in Rinan are often intruded by Lin Yi, and those who are born in the Han family have blood feuds with the Yi people.The prefect summoned to defend the city without force. All men who could take up arms, without exception, were registered in the county government.

The women and the elderly could not go to the top of the city, so they simply transported wood and stones to the bottom of the city to help the officers and soldiers strengthen the city wall and block the city gate.

Encountering insufficient wood, many families demolished courtyard walls and houses in order to block the Linyi soldiers outside the city until reinforcements arrived.

With one mind in Rinan County, Lin Yi's soldiers attacked for three consecutive days, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, but they couldn't even step into the city.

The local eunuch, dressed in firmness and perseverance, took several sons to the top of the city to fight bloody with the invading enemies.The generals and people in the city were encouraged, their morale was high, and they repelled the enemy several times in a row. Even though the casualties were heavy, they never retreated half a step.

However, the prefect of Nichinan didn't know that Jiuzhen County had already opened its gates to welcome bandits into the city.All the fast horses he sent were intercepted, and none of the letters asking for help were sent.

On the eighth day, Nichinan City was almost out of ammunition and food, but there was no news of reinforcements.

Linyi people outside the city looked like beasts, rushing forward wave after wave, disregarding life and death at all.It is conceivable that once the city gate is breached, these red-eyed bandits will surely massacre the city, and the people in the city will have no chance of surviving.

By the tenth day, the city gates were crumbling, and despair began to spread throughout the city.

The prefect of Nichinan stood on the city wall, blood dripping from his injured shoulder. At his feet, besides the corpse of the enemy, there were also two sons who died in battle.

"kill!"

The thieves, like a colony of ants, rushed towards the city gate again.

Even counting the wounded, there were less than [-] defenders at the top of the city, less than [-] strong men were recruited, and all the rest died in battle.

The prefect of Rinan clenched his long sword tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am the governor of a county. People, I shall perish with the city!"

After saying this, the prefect glanced at everyone, and continued: "You all have families, so you don't need to die with me. While the bandits are still outside the city, you can..."

Before the prefect finished speaking, everyone clenched their fists, and their eyes were already red.

The leading general said bluntly: "Thieves are coming, and the city is in danger. Since we are generals, how can we run away in the face of battle! The king is determined to live and die with the city, and so are we!" Make you die together!"

"To die with the envoy!"

The roars of more than a hundred people resounded through the sky until the earth trembled.

The people of Linyi didn't know why, staring at the crumbling county town, like a wolf staring at its prey, showing its thick fangs, ready to be torn into its belly.

At the most critical moment, there was a commotion behind Lin Yibing.

More than ten military chariots suddenly appeared, lined up behind the formation, the baffles were raised at the same time, accompanied by a sharp whistle, and arrows rained like rain.All the thieves within the shooting range fell to the ground, and most of them were tied into hedgehogs.The undead rolled on the ground, and the active ones fled in panic.

The tips of the arrows were all stained with poison.

The bandit soldier who was shot did not die on the spot, but would bleed from seven holes after a few breaths, and died of exhaustion.

After three waves of arrow rain, the martial chariot moved forward slowly.

The long thorns erected on both sides of the wheel were glowing coldly. When rolling forward, the bandits who fell on the ground were all crushed, and the sound of bone shattering could be heard endlessly.

People in Linyi have never seen such a scene.

Seeing the mutilated corpses everywhere, even the bones were crushed into pieces, everyone was horrified.

Even if there were only eleven military chariots, even if our own troops were several times stronger than the opponent's, we were still terrified and ran away one after another, despite the generals yelling at us and the whips crackling, we never looked back.

For Lin Yibing, if they fought face to face, these hundred and ten people would just chop melons and vegetables.

The current situation is that the opponent is hiding behind the military chariot, and has no intention of engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

I can't even touch the enemy's side, and I am facing a flying arrow.They are not ordinary bows and arrows, but poisoned ones!To be injured by such an arrow, even if it is not a vital point, but just scratched a little, there is no way to survive without an antidote!

Although Lin Yibing was fierce, he was made of flesh and blood after all.After fighting fiercely with the defenders in the city for several days, they were already exhausted.When they were strangled by military chariots, how could they hold on, they all turned around and ran away, despite the officers shouting and whipping, they did not obey orders at all.

The general was helpless, seeing the military chariot crushing him, and all his subordinates fled in embarrassment, unable to organize to fight, he flicked his whip and ran with his subordinates.

Linyi soldiers fled in all directions, and the crisis in the county was temporarily relieved.

The military chariot stopped at the bottom of the city, the defenders at the top of the city couldn't believe it, they pinched their thighs hard, the pain hit immediately, and they still felt like they were in a dream.

"But Mr. Cao in person?"

After the bandits retreated, the chariot put down the baffle, and a man dressed as a businessman stood on the shaft of the chariot, clasped his fists at the head of the city, and raised his voice, saying, "I will come from Youzhou and go to Yidi to sell goods. I learned that the bandits and soldiers committed crimes a few days ago. Nichinan, here to help."

While talking, the man opened a wooden cage and let a pigeon fly.

There is a wooden plaque on the neck of the dove, engraved with the characters of Youzhou, which is the unique symbol of the Youzhou caravan.

After confirming that the wooden sign is true, the Nichinan prefect will open the city gate.But I heard the man say: "Mr. Cao, the bandits retreat today, and there is no guarantee that they will not come again. The gates of the city should not be opened, but should be reinforced. I will stay outside the city to help the envoy defend against the enemy."

Knowing that his words were justified, the prefect of Nichinan did not persist, and solemnly bowed his hands, saying: "Thank you all strong men!"

The man returned the gift in the car, asked the city head to put down the hanging basket, and said that he had a letter to hand to the prefect.

It doesn't take a moment for the hanging basket to go up and down.

After reading the sent letter, the prefect of Nichinan's complexion suddenly changed, and he bristled with anger, and said word by word: "Li Xun, I have one breath, and I will surely tear you to pieces!"

Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and when the prefect Cao made it clear that they knew the real reason why Lin Yi's soldiers attacked the city, they all gnashed their teeth and chewed their teeth.

"If I can survive, I will kill this thief!"

Li Xun rebelled, and the news of the bandits' invasion spread all over the city, and the crowd immediately became angry.

Anger is ignited, and the flames of hatred are burning. Everyone can punish such a national traitor!

The military chariot stopped at the foot of the city, and the health servants and guards seized the time to cut wood and shovel soil and build simple fortifications.The leading man wrote a short message and tied it to the neck of the pigeon.

With two cuckoos, the pigeon fluttered its wings and flew away, and soon disappeared into the clouds, never to be seen again.

Not long after the news was sent out, commercial firms located in various states began to move into action one after another, and caravans walking near Jiaozhou went to Rinan County one after another. In just a few days, a team of nearly 500 people was assembled.

Regardless of the small number of people, with the advantage of armed chariots, the bandits who went and returned did not get an inch of success.

Rinan County was unable to attack for a long time, but suffered heavy losses.

Jiuzhen County is under the jurisdiction of "Allies" and cannot act recklessly.

This kind of development is completely different from the expectations of the Lord of Linyi. Facing the questioning gazes of the officials, the king of Linyi feels overwhelmed and does not know what to do.

At this moment, Zhou Zhongsun, the governor of Ningzhou, obtained the imperial edict and personally led his troops to the south, but the destination was not Jiaozhou, but Linyi, which had sent troops on a large scale and left the country empty!

"The thieves are so bold that they invaded the territory of the country, killed the sons of our army, and harmed the people of our Han family. Their crimes are heinous, and they must be punished!"

Zhou Zhongsun was greedy and cruel in his early years and was a famous murderer.

Now with the benefits of commerce and trade, he no longer exploits the people under his rule, but he is even more vicious towards the bandits who dare to invade the frontier state.Over the past few years, his fierce reputation has risen to a higher level, and he seems to be a fierce god sitting in Zhenning and Yizhou.

The most notable example is that the barbarians invaded the frontier, robbed grain and livestock, and kidnapped more than [-] Dingkou.

The assassination of Zhou made the report, directly mobilized troops to kill them, doubled the food, cattle and sheep, and snatched back. with.

In short, anyone who dares to touch even half an inch of his territory will surely incur crazy retaliation.

It all depends on the mood of the assassin Zhou whether he will be caught with a knife or taken as a slave.

Knowing that it was the leader, Lin Yiguo tensed up.

King Lin Yi wanted to say that he sent troops was true, but it was Li Xun who started it!

Zhou's assassins didn't care about so many, but accelerated the speed of advancing troops, and took down two counties in the blink of an eye.

According to the words of Ningzhou officers and soldiers: The officials say that Lin Yi is the chief culprit, then you are the chief culprit!The official family wants to destroy Linyi, from the head of the country down, it is best to wash the neck and wait to be slaughtered!If you try to struggle in vain, I will not only let you die, but also make you die very slowly and painfully!

The crisis in the south of Japan was temporarily resolved, and the whole county regarded the Li family as an enemy; when Zhou Zhongsun sent troops, Lin Yiguo was too busy to take care of himself, and could not send reinforcements.

Wuping and Jiaozhi, which are adjacent to Jiuzhen County, gathered young and strong men, which were not enough to attack Li Xun immediately, but they were able to organize an effective encirclement to block the bandits in Jiuzhen County.

Li Xun was isolated and helpless, and he had previously played the banner of "taking refuge in the Qin family" and became a reminder.

Now, the Huanhan court regards him as a national traitor and wants to kill him quickly.The people of Jiaozhou regarded him as a blood feud and wished they could eat his flesh raw.

Qin Ce was worried about food, and completely regarded him as a trouble, and ignored him at all.It's not because of face, they will send someone to tell Huan Rong that such a person should be killed, early killing is quick and easy.

To make matters worse, neither Li Xun nor the king of Linyi thought that the purpose of the rebellion was not achieved, but was used by Huan Rong as an excuse to take back Linyi's land.

Looking at the news sent back by the pigeons, Huan Rong picked up the pen, circled the location of Lin Yiguo, and nodded in satisfaction.

It has been our territory since ancient times, and it is a matter of course to take it back.

When the original land is taken back, we can also take the opportunity to expand it, start setting up counties and counties, and digest and absorb everything.

It doesn't matter how the future generations will evaluate it!

The so-called "since ancient times" is an absolute basis, who dares to be dissatisfied and directly beat back!

A few days after the news of Jiaozhou came back, Hanzhong sent an urgent report, saying that Qin Qingzhou was the assassin, and Tang Gongluo, who had been reused as a general, was dissatisfied with Qin Ce, and according to Qingzhou rebellion!

Just raising troops to rebel is not enough to surprise Huan Rong so much.

The key point is that the Qingzhou assassin, like Li Xun, chanted the slogan "Take refuge in Jiankang".

This is very embarrassing.
