Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The military system of the Linyi Kingdom was destined to recruit a large number of peasant soldiers and call on them to bring their own weapons to fight, which was doomed to be hidden from the Han envoys.

Even though the incident was inevitably glorified within the Linyi Kingdom, the fact that the "Han envoy was killed" quickly spread throughout the Linyi Kingdom.

Regarding the "killing of the Han envoy", people in Linyi State had different reactions, but only a few people could truly realize how serious the consequences of this incident would be.

On the contrary, the mainstream voice that spread throughout the Linyi Kingdom was that the Han envoys insulted the Linyi King, so they appointed Wang Sun Qu Ba as the commander and led a large army to capture Rinan County to vent the anger of the Linyi King.

Once we succeed in capturing Rinan County, there will be huge benefits.

From the nobles and ministers, they can obtain a large amount of money, grain and land; from the private soldiers and peasant soldiers, they can plunder at will when they invade the enemy country.

Therefore, the morale within Linyi was quite high. A large number of peasant soldiers responded to the call of the King of Linyi and local nobles, and brought their own weapons and food to join the war.

However, many Linyi elders in the Han Dynasty's former homeland, recalling their vague childhood memories, either wanted to stop it or became worried.

However, when the internal waves of Linyi emerged, the voices of admonition that some Linyi elders tried to voice were almost completely drowned out in an instant.

And in such a huge momentum, after Qu Ba learned the number of peasant soldiers participating in the war reported from various places, the joy on his face was almost hard to suppress.

Different from the estimated number of 50,000, the number of the army is close to 60,000, including the private soldiers raised by nobles from all over the country.

An army of 60,000 was undoubtedly an unrivaled force among the surrounding countries that Qu Ba knew of.

Who can stop?

Who dares to stop it?

Qu Ba, who led the 4,000 royal guards known as the "Iron Wall of Linyi", also headed towards the north of Linyi Kingdom in high spirits.

Even before leaving, Qu Lian repeatedly reminded Qu Ba to be careful in defending Rinan County and that he could only attack after receiving his orders.

However, Qu Ba, who was about to lead an army of 60,000, liked an old saying of the Han court at this moment: "When a general is on the battlefield, he is not always subject to military orders."

After commanding an army of 60,000, he captured Rinan County and, with the momentum of his great victory, asked Qu Lian to abdicate.

When he thought of this, Qu Ba felt that all the resentment he had accumulated over the past forty years due to being looked down upon by others would soon dissipate.

……

At the same time as Qu Ba led his army towards the north of Linyi State, Fan Shang, who had gone ahead and brought valuable gifts, had already arrived at the border of Rinan County.

When Yu Guo learned that Linyi State had sent an envoy and that no news about Gu Jun had been reported back first, he realized that his brother-in-law might have already done something righteous.

Yu Guoqiang suppressed his grief and did not show the slightest abnormality.

On the one hand, he tried his best to manage the operation of Rinan County and prepare the labor needed to maintain the food supply for the Han army; on the other hand, after Fan Shang arrived in Xijuan, at the request of Zhou Yu, he invited Fan Shang to the Han camp in Rinan County and transferred most of the troops in advance.

However, when Fan Shang saw the Han camp that stretched for miles and exuded a murderous atmosphere, with Han soldiers wearing armor and patrolling back and forth with weapons in hand, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, his hands and feet became weak, and he had no courage to set foot in.

At this moment, Fan Shang just wanted to turn around and run back to Linyi Kingdom to report to the King of Linyi that the disaster was about to happen.

Linyi called itself a country, but it did not have a complete iron-smelting technology.

Not to mention that the peasant soldiers basically wore homemade wooden or bamboo armor, even the private soldiers raised by local nobles mostly wore simple leather armor.

The reason why the private soldiers raised by the royal family were called "Linyi Iron Wall" was that there were only 4,000 "Linyi Iron Wall" soldiers, all of whom were wearing relatively simple iron armor. This was also the confidence that Qu Lian relied on to control the Linyi Kingdom.

However, after arriving at the Han camp, what did Fan Shang see?
There were tens of thousands of Han troops, and even a patrol soldier was wearing light iron armor that was better than the "Linyi Iron Wall".

fear!

Crazy fear spread in Fan Shang's heart. Is this the true power of Hanting?
Is this the confidence that the Han Chinese man Gu Jun had in making such irresponsible remarks in the palace?

At this moment, Fan Shang was already regretting why he did not dissuade the King of Linyi from killing the Han envoy, and he regretted even more why he accepted the order and came to Rinan County.

Fan Shang, whose legs went weak with fear, turned around and tried to escape, but a group of Han soldiers with indifferent looks blocked his retreat and stretched out their hands to guide him in the direction of the central army tent.

"My generals and Lord Yu are waiting for you in front. Please."

"me……"

Fan Shang was frightened by the murderous aura revealed by that team of Han soldiers. He could no longer stand and sat down on the ground, stammering.

"I, I'm not feeling well. I'll...visit you again another day."

The leading Han army officer could see that Fan Shang was not ill at all, but was making excuses out of fear.

and……

The military marquis looked at the coffin being escorted by the team led by Fan Shang, his expression slightly unfriendly.

No matter what the reason is, an envoy from a lower country dares to bring a coffin to visit his own general. How bold is he?

Under such circumstances, how could the military commander allow the envoy from the lower country to retreat and leave?
"No problem, I will send someone to take you to the big tent."

Immediately, the military commander waved to the Han army behind him.

Immediately, two strong Han soldiers came forward, lifted up Fan Shang, one on the left and one on the right, and carried him towards the central army tent.

The rest of the servants who came with Fan Shang, carrying the so-called valuable gifts and coffins, were also filled with fear at this moment.

However, under the "friendly" gaze of the Han soldiers, he could only follow them hurriedly, trembling.

Soon, Fan Shang was sent into the big tent.

Before Fan Shang looked up to see who was in the big tent, a playful voice first reached his ears.

"The Linyi envoy is so arrogant that he actually wants to be carried by our soldiers before he is willing to enter this big tent?"

At this moment, Fan Shangda felt a bit like "sitting up in shock from a dying illness" and suddenly broke free and fell to the ground.

then……

"boom!"

Fan Shang knelt down without hesitation, touched the ground with his forehead, performed the profound kneeling ceremony, and shouted.

"Fan Shang, the envoy of the lower kingdom of Linyi, greets the generals of the upper kingdom."

Xu Sheng, who was sitting in the main seat, waved to the Han soldiers who were carrying Fan Shang in, signaling them to withdraw, and then he spoke.

"Envoy Fan, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up and answer."

"Yes."

Fan Shang almost crawled to his feet, and only then did he have a chance to glance at the people in the big tent from the corner of his eye.

Xu Sheng was at the main seat, with Yu Guo sitting first on his left, and Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, etc. sitting in order on his right. (End of this chapter)
