Chapter 353 Huang Zhong is ferocious
Since Wang Fu arrived in Yangzhou, the results are extremely astonishing.

By September, Wang Fu had built hundreds of ships in the south, recruited and trained nearly [-] sailors, and also gathered some rangers, tenants without land, servants, etc. to lead the fleet to Yizhou , Yizhou is the largest overseas island discovered by the Han Dynasty. The Yangzhou navy has not yet fully explored this island.

Wang Fu's trip this time is to establish a Han county in Yizhou, and to completely incorporate Yizhou into Yangzhou's territory and develop Yizhou. According to the words of the sailors who come and go, the land of Yizhou can be In support of farming, Wang Fu's plans are not limited to Yizhou, Yizhou is just his jumping point, and his ultimate goal is still the rich land in the distance.

However, in order to establish a large stronghold there, Wang Fu must advance step by step, control many overseas islands of the Han Dynasty, and approach them step by step. In recent years, the navy of the Han Dynasty has been in the south, allowing Funan outside Jiaozhou, Chenla The two countries are becoming more and more frightened. These two countries are not as powerful as Guishuang. In terms of national strength, the two countries are not as good as Yangzhou. The Yangzhou navy often harasses the surrounding areas of the two countries.

Chenla is not bad. He is on land outside Jiaozhou, and there are not many territories near the sea. Only a part of the territory in the south is close to the sea. But Funan is much more miserable. He used to rely on Jiaozhou. The south of Jiaozhou occupies good arable land and an excellent port. After a meritorious general of the Southern Army named Huang Zhong was appointed to Yangzhou as a captain of the navy, their good days came to an end.

This captain acted a bit domineering, forcibly snatched some territory near the sea from Funan Kingdom, and established a stronghold here. He did not engage in force with Funan Kingdom. Funan Kingdom has always been respectful to the big man, and there is no emperor. He ordered that he could not go to war without authorization, but he relied on the force of the warships and Jiaozhou to force the Funan Kingdom to give up four coastal territories.

These coastal territories have become bridgeheads for the Han Yangzhou navy to explore abroad.

Originally, the national strength of Funan Kingdom was far greater than that of Chenla Kingdom, and Chenla Kingdom was still a subsidiary of Funan Kingdom, but now, because it is too close to the territory of the Han, the national power of Funan Kingdom has been weakened time and time again, and Chenla Kingdom has also been shaken off. After losing the control of Funan, Funan is gradually not surrendering to Funan. However, Funan Kingdom has no ability to punish him, and it is hard to protect itself.

The equipment of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty is too much away from them, not to mention the drills and fighting methods are much more advanced than them. Their soldiers are still soldiers in wartime and farmers on weekdays. The total number is about [-]. But the big Han has [-] soldiers on their borders. These soldiers are completely separated from farming and practice all day long!
What's more, there are nearly [-] soldiers in counties and counties in Jiaozhou, and the equipment of these soldiers is far superior to them. In Yangzhou, there are still [-] navy troops who can come to support the battle at any time. Under such circumstances, they have no chance of winning It can be said that they could only retreat in the face of Huang Zhong's oppression step by step. After Sun Jian served as the captain of the Southern Army, he strongly recommended his former comrades in arms.

Dian Wei is now in Yizhou, serving as a school lieutenant, guarding against the southern Qiang people.

Huang Zhong, Xu Rong and others were in Yangzhou, and Huang Zhong served as the school lieutenant.

The soldiers who followed Duan Jiong's painful training and marching in the past have now become pillars everywhere, the most powerful generals of the big man, guarding the Quartet, and they have followed Duan Jiong for a long time, more or less Infected with Duan Jiong's bad habits, good military exploits, strict military management, and unscrupulous methods, there are still very few people like Lu Zhi.

Chenla has already made the decision to expand westward. They don’t want to be close neighbors with the big man, so as not to end up like Funan. In this issue, in order to obtain enough supplies, they harassed and plundered Funan , Funan was furious, but he dared not take any action. The contradiction that Chenla had been suppressed by Funan for a long time finally broke out.

Chenla brazenly sent soldiers, not for occupation, but for plunder. Facing such bandit behavior, Funan couldn't help it. The war was about to break out, but he didn't expect that in the face of Chenla's offensive, there would be more soldiers Funan, however, was defeated again and again. Their army's morale was low, they were no match for the opponent at all, and there were no decent generals in the country.

Under such circumstances, the King of Funan finally sent someone to Huang Zhong to ask for help, and asked Huang Zhong to help Funan to stop the unprovoked attack on Chenla. He will definitely uphold justice, and will never sit back and watch the subordinate country be bullied. Hearing this news, the Minister of Funan turned pale and returned to report.

In the end, the king wrote a long article, telling the emperor of the Han Dynasty that he was willing to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty every year and wish the Han Dynasty to protect him.

It was the month, the emperor was overjoyed and ordered Huang Zhong to send troops.

Huang Zhong immediately dispatched troops, and the Yangzhou navy rushed to Funan. After landing, they participated in the war. Huang Zhong first ordered the minister of Funan Kingdom to serve as an envoy to Chenla, expressing the intention of the Han Dynasty to truce between the two countries, and proposed that if the two countries continue to In the war, the big man will directly intervene in the war, and the consecutive victories may burn the minds of the generals of the Chenla Kingdom. He laughed grinningly, killed the ministers who came, and cut off his head, and returned it to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was furious, and the Han soldiers entered the battlefield.

In the area called Jianjiang, he beat up the Chenla army who came forward. After fighting for half an hour, he killed three thousand and captured nearly ten thousand. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty only injured four people, and no one was killed. Huang Zhong himself They were all at a loss. The moment the two armies came into contact, the opponent was killed and collapsed. Huang Zhong didn't even have time to command, and the friendly army didn't join the battlefield. The opponent was defeated like a mountain.

Huang Zhong felt a little depressed in his heart, it was a pity that he finally managed to start a big battle.

As for the King of Chenla, after hearing the news, he was so frightened that he couldn't stand up, so he took his servants and fled, but was killed by the servants on the way. The servants held his head and offered it to Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong He also executed his servants for the crime of murdering his master. The prince of Chenla and the ministers submitted a letter of surrender, and Huang Zhong accepted it. Like Funan, they also chose to submit a letter to the emperor.

Even, what they did was even more thorough than Funan. They asked the big man to send officials to help the young prince govern the country. Huang Zhong also had his own plan, and he did his part to get the territory of the Chenla Kingdom at the bottom of the peninsula and stationed here At this time, the Yangzhou navy has established a sea area from Yangzhou to Yizhou, Yizhou to Hainan, Hainan to Funan, and Funan to Chenla.

In this sea area, the big man has absolute rights.

The big man's fleet, including warships and merchant ships, kept coming and going in the sea area, and countless wealth also flowed into the big man's treasury. If Wen Rengong could see this, he would be extremely happy, alas, what a pity.

In addition, in Yizhou, Wang Fu was originally here for maritime trade matters. He has no right to interfere in this war, but he never thought that a war would shorten his goal by a few steps. However, He was not in a hurry, he still stayed in Yizhou, devoted himself to the development of Yizhou, and he did not let go of the newly occupied strongholds in the surrounding area. What he wanted was not a short-term gain. He was convinced that what he did today would last forever merit.
