Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 467 Competing in the Central Plains (Thirty)
Jiankang
"Invade the imperial city, each with a woman, and those who have made great contributions will be assigned to the princess of the royal family and the lady of the family, kill me!"

Boom boom boom!
boom!
Taking advantage of Liu Yu's Northern Expedition and the emptiness of the Jin Dynasty, Lu Xun led three thousand pirate infantry and three hundred pirate armored cavalry. After passing through Yuzhang and other places, he finally came to Jiankang City.

Along the way, Lu Xun's pirate team has expanded to 20 people.

But these people are just cannon fodder for the siege, and the only ones Lu Xun can really fight are the three thousand elite pirates and the three hundred pirate armored cavalry.

During the decadent period of the imperial court, most of the rebels were like this, and they could expand to hundreds of thousands or even millions in a short period of time, such as the Yellow Turban Army during the Han Ling Emperor period.

But they are all mobs. Out of tens of thousands of people, only a few thousand people can really fight, and the rest are cannon fodder to make up the number of people.

The people of Dajin, who were starved of food, joined Lu Xun's pirate army one after another, and began to attack the city with simple ladders, and the death rate was particularly high.

At the beginning, Lu Xun just wanted to become bigger and stronger by relying on human trafficking, so that he could have enough wealth to enjoy life in the second half of his life.

But Da Jin is so bad, so bad that a pirate with no ideals like him can easily take down several counties, so bad that Sun En and he only need hundreds or thousands of elite pirates to scare the royal family of the Da Jin court The families were terrified.

Because the Great Jin was too bad, it gave Lu Xun greater ambition and fantasy, that is to overthrow the Great Jin court and become the new Lord of China.

If it weren't for the Hu people in the north who were not good at water warfare, the Jin court would have been wiped out by the Hu people regime long ago.

However, relying on the solid defense of Jiankang City, the Jin court successfully withstood Lu Xun's ants attacking the city.

Lu Xun surrounded Jiankang City with three floors inside and three floors outside, trying to make the defenders in Jiankang City run out of food and surrender.

However, this siege lasted only two months, and Liu Yu came back before Jiankang City ran out of food.

Liu Yu's soldiers divided into two groups. One route of the navy rushed to Panyu, Guangzhou to cut off Lu Xun's retreat and prevent Lu Xun from escaping from the sea. The other route went straight to Lu Xun's barracks, like a tiger attacking a rabbit.

The Sugarcane Strait is divided into three routes, namely the East Sugarcane Route to the east of Sugarcane Island, the Ganpeng Route between Sugarcane Island and Penghu Island, and the traditional route between Penghu Islands and Jin’an County of the Jin Dynasty.

The navy of the Jin Dynasty did not have the ability to sail the ocean, they took the traditional route.

The slave ships, as well as the general merchant ships and warships of the Yan Kingdom, all took the Gan-Peng route.

Only those pirates who have plundered the Spice Islands all the year round like to take the relatively windy and rough East Sugarcane route, because there are few people there, and Yan's navy generally does not patrol there, so it is very safe for pirates.

Therefore, although the merchant ships of the Yan State and the navy of the Jin Dynasty both came and went in the southeast waters, it was actually very difficult for the two sides to meet, and they were not on the same route.

Liu Yu's [-] light armored cavalry pounced on Lu Xun's camp accurately, scaring Lu Xun away in a panic.

As for the 20 pirate army, some of them fled in all directions after being hacked by Liu Yu's elite cavalry.

Those pirates who didn't see Liu Yu's army saw other pirates running away, so they also ran away.

Among these pirates, more than half fought with hoes, and a small half fought with rusty and damaged spears. Only the most elite 3000 people fought with sophisticated weapons.

The 20 pirates were crushed by Liu Yu's [-] cavalry in one charge, and their combat effectiveness was extremely low.

After running wildly for more than a month, Lu Xun finally fled back to Guangzhou, the base camp, but found that it had been occupied by Liu Yu's army.

In desperation, Lu Xun led some elites into Shiwanda Mountain. After more than two months of savage survival, only more than 100 pirates survived and walked out of Shiwanda Mountain, and followed Lu Xun to "Tang Ming Kingdom ( Laos)".

Tangming State is the "Baipu" ethnic group in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period. With the conquest of the south by Chu and Qin, some of the Baipu ethnic group that originally lived in the south were assimilated by the Han people, and some migrated to the south of Zhongnan. The peninsula has established its own culture, and several tribes have jointly established their own country "Tang Ming".

Since then, Lu Xun, the pirate king who has shocked China, has fled to the miasma-ridden forest area. There are not only Baipu survivors, but also many indigenous cannibal tribes.

After "eliminating" Lu Xun, Liu Yu organized officials from all over the country to resume production, and at the same time convened his staff to discuss the recovery of Yizhou.

Previously, the Yizhou gentry Qiao's family took advantage of the "Huanxuan Rebellion" of the Jin Dynasty to separate themselves from Chengdu.

Now, Liu Yu has set his sights on Yizhou again, wanting to go up the river and eliminate the Yizhou regime just like Huan Wen did back then.

In Liu Yu's life, since he joined the army, he was either fighting or preparing for war.

When the state of Jin, under the regency of Liu Yu, was preparing to attack the Qiaoshu regime in Yizhou, the state of Wei in the north finally ended its civil strife temporarily.

Rouran's repeated surrender and rebellion are the biggest border troubles in the northern part of Wei State.

In the past few years, Rouran took advantage of the civil strife in Wei and conquered most of the Mobei grassland, replacing the previous dominance of the Xianbei people in the grassland.

However, this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that Rouran also hooked up with Khitan, a middleman, to purchase weapons and equipment from Yan Kingdom in Liaodong through Khitan.

Compared with population, Yan State in Liaodong is more interested in livestock. After all, manpower is far inferior to animal power.

After the Qidan gradually grew by virtue of its middleman's geographical location, it often went south to invade the Youzhou area.

"Now my Great Wei has Jin in the south, Feng Yan in the east, Rouran Khitan in the north, and Qiang Qin and Hu Xia in the west. It can be said that we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Which enemy should we destroy first?" Emperor Tuo Basi asked Cui Hao .

Cui Hao has just become a close minister of the Emperor of Wei at this moment, and he is also the Han minister most favored by the emperor among the many Han clans.

Tuo Basi's important move was to encourage Xianbei military nobles to marry young ladies from Han clan families as wives and concubines. At the same time, he also encouraged Han clan princes to marry daughters from Xianbei noble families as wives and concubines. There are no Xianbei people, only Wei people.

The upper class united to rule the lower class. Shi Le had done this before, but was destroyed by Shi Hu, the fanatical genocidal king.

"The Jin Kingdom in the south has been in existence for more than a hundred years. It is powerful and has dangerous mountains and rivers. It should be slow and not wary. Otherwise, Fu Jian will be a lesson from the past."

"Dongfang Fengyan (Northern Yan) also has dangerous mountains and rivers, but his strength is weak, and he has already surrendered to our great Wei. I don't care about it for the time being. The priority of attacking him is not high."

"The Qin and Xia countries in the west are the places where my Great Wei can plot."

Cui Hao's analysis is very reasonable, that is, first attack the Xia and Qin countries in the west to strengthen his own strength, and then consider expanding in other directions.

However, Tuobasi thought further: "We Xianbei people came to the Central Plains from the grasslands, so we must guard against the Rouran people in the grasslands to prevent them from imitating our Xianbei people."

"Therefore, before annexing the Western Xia and Qin kingdoms, I plan to attack the Rouran people in the Mobei grassland first, so that they dare not go south and herd horses, and by the way, grab some livestock for the people of my Great Wei to return to plow the fields."

He has the foresight to close the door of the car after getting in the car. Once he enters the Central Plains, he will not allow other friends in the grassland to enter the Central Plains to prevent other forces in the grassland from also getting on the door and sharing the cake.
