Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

In the Bay of Bengal, after more than three months, the army led by Li Yuanji finally saw the coast.

This time, Li Yuanji chose to land in the southern part of the Kingdom of God, a port called Uddawa in the Orissa region in the west of the Bay of Bengal.

Li Yuanji looked at Xue Wanche who was standing beside him.

"We're finally here. I'm almost going to get moldy from sitting on this boat. Do you still have the energy to spare?"

"Your Majesty, I have no problem. Once we get to the shore, we can fight anytime!"

Xue Wanche's face was filled with excitement. After sitting on the boat for such a long time, he really vomited. Not an adjective of vomiting, but real vomiting.

During this period, Xue Wanche felt that he was about to die at sea. If he didn't die on the battlefield, he would almost faint from sitting on the ship.

Now they can finally get ashore. Xue Wanche doesn't care about anything at this time. Not only him, but all the troops are the same. Let alone a normal landing, even if there are enemies on the shore, no matter how many enemies there are or how powerful they are, they have to fight with all their lives.

It is better to die in the battlefield than to die of shaking on the boat.

Li Yuanji was also happy after hearing this. He did not get seasick this time. He was used to riding on the ship during his previous inspections, but this journey was still not easy.

"Haha, you, it's just a boat ride, is it necessary to be like this?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Go and inform all the troops right now to prepare for landing. After landing, find a place to set up camp and let the army rest for three days."

Li Yuanji knew very well that the army could not bear it any longer, so he specially equipped each ship with a doctor for the long voyage on the ocean to prevent anyone from feeling unwell.

As a result, these doctors almost died suddenly from being too busy. The later it got, the more people suffered from various seasickness syndromes, and everyone became a little depressed.

Especially for those who were seriously ill, he spent tens of thousands of contribution points to exchange the system for the water of life and death. Otherwise, some people would have been lost in the march.

Li Yuanji discovered that ocean voyages are not something that everyone can do, and it is not enough to just avoid seasickness.

Xue Wanche happily went downstairs and started passing the message. When the news was passed on, everyone was excited.

Although they would charge if there really were enemies, who wouldn't want to rest for three days? Most people are feeling very uncomfortable now.

Except for the original naval fleet members, the people Li Yuanji brought were basically the same.

On the shore, Xie Shufang led 5,000 troops in front of the port, excitedly waiting for the fleet to dock.

When the army disembarked one after another, Xie Shufang waved his right hand, and the army began to move out, taking the disembarking soldiers to the prepared camp.

After a while, Li Yuanji got off the boat and Xie Shufang ran straight towards him.

"Your Majesty! I am here!"

Li Yuanji had seen Xie Shufang from a distance. Now seeing Xie Shufang running towards him, Li Yuanji laughed and opened his arms.

As for why he didn't run, it was because he really didn't have the energy anymore. He couldn't stand the bumpy ride on the ship for such a long time.

Especially when encountering wind and waves, Li Yuanji almost vomited. The whole boat swayed from side to side with a large amplitude. A timid person would probably be frightened to faint.

Without any hesitation, Xie Shufang hugged Li Yuanji and then bowed.

"My king, you are finally here. I have been waiting here for a long time, watching the sea every day to see if there is any fleet coming."

“That’s thoughtful. After sitting on the boat for such a long time, everyone is a little tired.

Let's go to the camp first. You arrange for everyone to be settled. Let's rest for three days before setting off again."

Li Yuanji was a little tired at this time, and was brought to the tent by Xie Shufang. Xie Shufang did not disturb Li Yuanji too much. Only after a night's rest did Li Yuanji feel that everything was back to normal.

"Shu Fang, tell me, how is the war going now?"

Xie Shufang then opened the map and placed it on Li Yuanji's desk.

"Look, your Majesty, we have now conquered the three great cities of Rajgir, Nalanda, and Vaishali.

Rajagriha was originally the capital of Magadha, which was a vassal state of the Harsha Dynasty. Now after Rajagriha was captured, the king of Magadha fled to Pataliputra (also known as Pataliputra, recorded as Lianfoyi in the Buddhist Records and as Pataliputra in the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions).

When attacking Rajgir, it was necessary to capture Nalanda Monastery in the north of Rajgir before continuing to advance. Here, the army encountered stubborn resistance from Harsha's army. Although it was finally captured, Nalanda Monastery was severely damaged.

This temple is highly respected here. Now that it has been destroyed, it has caused dissatisfaction among the local tribes. When they attacked Rajgir, they encountered even stronger resistance. Please punish them, my king. "

Xie Shufang felt somewhat uneasy. Although the city had been captured, the damage was not small at all.

Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang with a solemn gaze.

"Are you going to apologize to me now just because of this?"

Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang who was a little dazed and puzzled, and sighed in his heart. He had indeed neglected this point.

"Shufang, remember, we are not in the Tang Dynasty now. We are attacking foreign races and expanding our territory. You don't need to worry about governance. You only have one goal, which is to capture cities and territories.

The Nalanda Temple can be destroyed without any apology. Since those monkeys are so active, just kill them all, or let them mine or build roads.

In this way, all those who resist will be caught, which will be beneficial to future governance.

Just do it boldly and confidently. Don't show any mercy to these foreign races. If you want to destroy a place, then destroy it. If you want to kill people, then kill them. It's no big deal.

Do you understand now?"

This was indeed something Li Yuanji had not said before, and he had not expected that Xie Shufang and others would actually ask him for an apology for such a thing.

The wars outside today are not like those in the Tang Dynasty. These people are no longer his people, and he does not recognize them. In his eyes, these people are just batches of labor.

Either you work for him or he kills them all, it's that simple.

People are like this, let alone some cities and some temples.

Xie Shufang was relieved when he heard this. He breathed a sigh of relief. He, Wei Yunqi, Feng Li and others had been worried about this matter. "Your Majesty, I will remember this!"

"Okay, that's enough. Now go on and tell me about the current situation here."

Seeing that Xie Shufang realized this, he didn't want to say any more. Now that he was here, there was nothing to worry about.

Xie Shufang came back to his senses and spoke with renewed energy.

"The other Vaishali Kingdom was conquered by me and Wei Yunqi. After I entered Sravasti and Kapilavastu from Nepal, Sravasti put up a strong resistance in Savatthi, so I was unable to conquer it.

Afterwards, I led my army to attack the Kingdom of Kapilavastu. I captured eleven cities in succession. Actually, I did not capture them. These cities were extremely desolate and there were almost no people (according to records: The Kingdom of Kapilavastu had a circumference of more than thousand li, and there were dozens of empty cities. It was extremely desolate. The royal city was in ruins and its circumference was unknown. The palace city inside was fourteen or fifteen li in circumference and was made of bricks with a steep and solid foundation. It had been deserted for a long time and was sparsely populated).

Finally, when I captured the royal city, I learned that this small country had no king and each city was independent. However, even the royal city was still dilapidated and sparsely populated.

When the army of Sriravasiddhita and one of King Harsha's armies came to attack, I did not stay there and led my troops away.

Both of these countries were vassal states of the Harsha Dynasty.

After I left, because I was unfamiliar with the place, I led my army to join forces with Wei Yunqi's army. Finally, we joined forces to attack Vaishali, defeated the joint forces of Vaishali and King Harsha in Vaishali, and captured Vaishali.

Later, the king said that he would lead his army to fight in person. After discussing with Wei Yunqi and Feng Li, the army stopped to rest and wait for the king to arrive. "

Xie Shufang paused for a moment when he said this, then put his finger on one place.

"Your Majesty, the main army of the Harsha Dynasty is now concentrated in Pataliputra. There are now 100,000 troops gathered here. At the same time, 80,000 troops have been deployed in Varanasi (now Varanasi, India) in the rear as reinforcement, and 50,000 troops have been deployed in Kapilavastu.

Pataliputra and Varanasi are both on the banks of the Ganges River. Since we have no navy or naval force, we can only launch an attack from the north. The Ganges River beside Pataliputra and Varanasi is relatively wide. If we cross it, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties.

The attack was launched from the north. In the north, there were 50,000 troops deployed by King Harsha in the Kingdom of Kapilavastu and 30,000 troops from the Kingdom of Sravasti, totaling 80,000 troops.

Now, King Harsha’s arrangement means that no matter where we attack, the Harsha troops in the other two places will be able to provide support.

Moreover, during this period of truce, according to intelligence, King Harsha drew about 100,000 troops from other places and countries to garrison in Kusumapura (the capital of the Harsha Dynasty). Together with the tens of thousands of Harsha troops originally in Kusumapura, the number is probably now close to 200,000.

Moreover, the army of Qunu City can provide support to various battlefields at any time.

These armies were basically all the armies that the entire Harsha Dynasty could mobilize. Previously, more than 200,000 of Gongda Gundam's 500,000 troops were wiped out by Wei Yunqi and Feng Li, and 120,000 were captured.

In addition, Wei Yunqi has a mixed army of 180,000 soldiers, including those from the Gaoda and Kamarupa countries."

Li Yuanji listened to Xie Shufang's words, looked around the map, and laughed.

He had to say that King Harsha's current arrangement was quite good. He didn't know whether it was because King Harsha had an original high military talent or it was just a flash in the pan. At least this arrangement would indeed be a great obstacle if facing his army that had not been equipped.

As long as he sent troops to attack one place, the Japanese troops in other places would besiege him. If he could use static to dynamic tactics and wait for his army to reveal a flaw, his success rate would undoubtedly be higher.

If he divided his troops to fight, it would be equivalent to sharing the pressure everywhere. When King Harsha's army in Kusumapura began to mobilize, it would directly break the balance of any battlefield.

But even so, even if his army is the same army that had not been re-equipped before, it can only cause him certain troubles. When a real fight breaks out, the gaps in all aspects will be revealed.

And now, part of his army has been equipped with new firearms, rifles and artillery, so he has nothing to worry about this war.

Li Yuanji was actually looking forward to what King Harsha's army would do if a real war broke out.

"I already know the basic situation. Don't worry. Faced with such a huge gap in strength, the armies of the Harsha Dynasty won't be able to cause any waves.

What we need to pay attention to is to beware of the street fighting between the Japanese army and us. Now that we have gone through several major battles, I think you have gained some experience.

We will discuss the specific arrangements later. For now, the army will rest and march to Rajgir in two days."

After saying this, Li Yuanji thought of something and his expression became even more interesting.

"By the way, these cities are all on the banks of the Ganga River, right? Go and inform Yuwen Bao now to lead the fleet from the port on the right side of Tamolidi to the lower reaches of the Ganga River and rush to Vaishali.

Send a message to Wei Yunqi, asking him to prepare for a war. This King Harsha has a very bad arrangement. With this arrangement, we will attack Huashi City first!"

Li Yuanji looked at Hua Shi City and laughed. Hua Shi City was in the south of the Ganges River, not in the north. Now that they had a fleet, the army could directly cross the river with the fleet and reach the south to launch an attack.

He was sure to defeat the 100,000 Japanese troops in Hua City. Unless these people retreated in advance, no one could save them.

Upon hearing this, Xie Shufang immediately agreed excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xie Shufang was very excited. After leading the army from Tubo to fight alone, although he had conquered Nepal, he finally had enough fun. However, he had never fought a large-scale battle like Wei Yunqi and Feng Li. He was very much looking forward to it this time.

Especially now, almost everyone under Li Yuanji has the merit of destroying a country. Xie Shufang always feels that he has no sense of accomplishment in destroying only one Nepali country.

The one who has destroyed the most countries under Li Yuanji's command now is the naval commander Liu Rengui. He has destroyed quite a few countries, and when combined with the countries such as Srivijaya that he destroyed before, his achievements are unmatched.

Fortunately, Wei Yunqi and Feng Li successively conquered Gundam, Kamarupa, the Gupta Dynasty and other countries, which saved face.

After all, Liu Rengui was the commander-in-chief of the navy, and they were all leading the army. They were almost outshined by the navy. Where would they put their face?

Especially people like Xie Shufang, Xi Junmai, and Su Dingfang, who all came to Li Yuanji's camp early on, have now been overtaken by a man leading the navy.

The one who felt the most uncomfortable was Xie Shufang. Li Yuanji had developed his territory into what it is today. With such a large fiefdom, he had almost no wars to fight.

Xie Shufang was the one who was most eager to start fighting.

Two days passed and Li Yuanji led the army to continue his journey. As for Wudu City, Li Yuanji did not even have time to visit it and just set off directly.

After another long march, the army led by Li Yuanji finally arrived at Rajgir.

Outside Wangshe City, Feng Li was waiting for Li Yuanji's arrival.

When Li Yuanji's army appeared in sight, Feng Li excitedly rushed towards Li Yuanji. (End of this chapter)
