I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 742, The Spread of Civilization
Niu Gui and the others looked at the direction Xu Wei was pointing at, and found that it was an island not far from Tianzhu, and nodded one by one.

Wang Ge said: "This Sinhala country is close to Tianzhu and is separated by the sea. As long as we occupy this island country, it will be a naturally suitable outpost for monitoring Liu Bei's actions in Tianzhu.

With the strength of our fleet, there is no need to worry about Liu Bei's attack on this island. Even if Liu Bei finds out that we occupy Sinhala, he can only helplessly watch us occupy this island. Arrange for troops to be stationed along the coast.

Moreover, this island country is also on our way to Tianfang, which can be used as a transit point, which is extremely beneficial to our large caravan ocean trade.It can be said that it is a military action that serves multiple purposes. "

Xu Wei continued: "You can inform our old brothers and ask them if anyone is willing to go to Tianzhu, this land, and if they are willing to go, the imperial court is willing to support them, whether it is the same at sea or on land."

Xu Wei thought for a while, it is better not to have a powerful empire in Tianzhu!A fragmented Tianzhu is more conducive to the expansion of Dagan civilization.During the expansion period, it is enough to have one center, but too many centers are prone to infighting.

Niu Gui nodded and said: "If I take power, I will notify these old brothers and let them monitor Liu Bei."

Xu Wei laughed and said: "This is just the worst plan. If we go to Tianzhu, we Dagan people will become a minority. To a certain extent, Liu Bei is our ally in Daqianmen. So when we don't see Liu Bei Before the unification of Tianzhu, everyone still has to find a way to support him more. Only when he shows an incomparable overlord posture, can we regard Liu Bei as an enemy.

However, in my opinion, Liu Bei should not have this ability, and two enemies who are thousands of miles away should not be able to fight. Now these are just in case, so you don't have to be so nervous. "

Although Liu Bei has a good reputation in history, he is much worse than other founding emperors in China. Otherwise, he would not occupy the worst state of Shu in the world.

Although there were many heroes in the Three Kingdoms era, they did not rule the world after fighting for more than 100 years.

Xu Wei said this and everyone can only listen to it like this.Although everyone is thinking of the good, they have to start planning for the worst.

Wang Ge ordered Yan Liang to lead 1 soldiers to conquer Sinhala before Liu Bei.

For the next half a year, the senior officials of Dagan paid great attention to the situation in Tianzhu, and even established a pigeon communication system thousands of miles from Jiaozhou, Nanzhong, Tianzhu and other places to convey the news from Tianzhu.

However, the news from Tianzhu made the high-level leaders of Dagan breathe a sigh of relief. The obstacles Liu Bei encountered were much greater than they imagined.

Although he defeated the 10 troops of Tianzhu in the south, there was no overwhelming situation afterwards.

Liu Bei's offensive development was extremely difficult, and he only doubled the size of the country in half a year. This sounds scary, but in fact it only occupied 5 more cities.

The people under his rule grew to one million people. Such a population is still a small country in Tianzhu, but Liu Bei's military strength is frightening, and he has a deterrent force beyond his strength.However, all parties in Tianzhu have jointly blocked Liu Bei and his forces.

Although unable to take the initiative to attack, the Tianzhu people relied on their city defense.

The reason why Liu Bei fought extremely hard was because he had to find a way to attack the cities one by one, and Liu Bei was reluctant to use up all the strength of his army on the attack, so he could only send the Tianzhu army under his rule to let them attach the ants. Siege, but the fighting power of the Tianzhu people can be imagined, which is why he only broke through 5 cities in half a year.

At the same time, he also had to clean up the temples along the way, the manors of the nobles, and distribute the land to the natives of Tianzhu, so that these low-level Tianzhu people could join his army.

Moreover, Liu Bei has to ensure that the wealth of monks and nobles falls into his hands, because only by obtaining this wealth can he maintain his army's attack!

To a certain extent, Liu Bei is the kind of rogue who does not flow. Before he has established a complete tax collection system, the wealth of these monks and nobles is his lifeblood.

This led to Liu Bei needing his core strength to lead the Tianzhu people instead of letting the Tianzhu people do their own thing when cleaning up the monks and nobles.Because if you let the Tianzhu people do their own thing, you don't know whose hands the wealth will flow to.

So wherever Liu Bei hits, he will immediately establish a local government in the place he conquered, and collect the wealth of Tianzhu with the highest efficiency. In this case, plus the news that Liu Bei killed noble monks spread throughout Tianzhu, The Tianzhu nobles hiding in the city exerted 200% of their potential to resist desperately, so Liu Bei's military operations naturally could not be quick.

And because of the efficiency of this siege, Liu Bei's food, grass and supplies are consumed extremely quickly (because there is no wealth, Liu Bei can only use land and food to buy Tianzhu people, so he is extremely short of food.) In addition to the dry season of Tianzhu I realized that the outdoor temperature exceeded 40 degrees, and the natives of Tianzhu could still bear it, but it was difficult for the veterans who followed Liu Bei from Dahan to bear such a scorching heat.

If Liu Bei dared to march outdoors at such a temperature, the number of people who died of heat stroke in the army would definitely exceed the number of people who died in battle. Therefore, Liu Bei had no choice but to end the military operation and take a rest instead. Get ready for the next big fight.

Tianzhu, prosper Seoul!

Xinghan City was originally the capital of Xie Lingjia. After Liu Bei captured this place, he changed its name to Xinghan City so that he would not forget the mission of his confidant.

Although the fighting power of the Tianzhu people is not strong, but their attainments in the construction industry are not inferior to those of the big men. Even removing the cheats brought by Xu Wei, the technology in the construction industry is even stronger than the Tianzhu people.

But this time Liu Bei fought against the Tianzhu coalition forces, and only brought a small number of Tianzhu soldiers.Most of the Tianzhu soldiers turned into engineers.

Nearly 10 such engineers, under the command of Yuan Ji, expanded the city of Xinghan, built a huge stone wharf along the coast, and built a lighthouse tens of meters high for the ships coming to Tianzhu. guide the way.

A huge group of warehouses was built around the wharf to store grain, grass and various supplies transported by the fleet.

Even under the command of Yuan Ji, the Tianzhu people built a track connecting the pier and Xinghan City for the rapid transportation of materials on the pier.

It can be said that under Yuan Ji's renovation for more than a year, there are more and more Han-style buildings in the city, and it already looks like a big Seoul city.
