The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1278
Standing on the beach by the sea, you can see the endless blue sea with rolling waves, between the water and the sky, looking far away, you can only see a little white sails, and you can't see any land at all.

But Liu Yin knows that there is a country not far away on the other side. For thousands of years, the army of the Central Plains Dynasty has never set foot on a piece of land. Facing this island country, they lost both crusades.

This is undoubtedly a very curious thing. Once a small island country, facing a huge country, it has never been lost for thousands of years. It is simply a miracle.

No need to talk about sailing technology, Wei Wen of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period can already sail to Yizhou. From the mouth of the Yangtze River to Yizhou, the voyage is more than [-] miles, and the shortest distance in the Tsushima Strait is only [-] miles. Li or so, even the Bohai Strait is several times wider than it.

The dirty roads among the people had been opened as early as the Han Dynasty, and even the inheritance of the civilization of the island country had undergone a qualitative leap because of the advanced technology brought by the Dulai people.

"General Yan, how much do you know about the Wa Kingdom on the opposite side?" Since the Han Dynasty, it has been called the Wa Kingdom.

Yan Xun said: "Although the general has never crossed the sea to the Japanese country, the general has seen many people who do business with the Japanese country, so the general also knows a little about the situation of the Japanese country. The Japanese country is in the south of Hanhai. There are four big islands and thousands of small islands, and more than three hundred countries are in constant war. There is a country named Yamatai, which is the largest among all the countries. For generations, a man is the king. In the former Wei Dynasty, a woman was appointed as the king. It is Himihu who is good at using ghosts and gods to confuse people. It is said that this Himihu has been hidden in the palace for a long time. Those who guard the palace are thousands of palace maids. However, under its rule, Yamatai has grown stronger and stronger, annexing more than [-] surrounding countries, and it seems to be the leading power among the Wa kingdoms. Himihu once sent envoys to the Central Plains to ask Wei Emperor, Emperor Wei bestowed a gold seal with a purple ribbon on his pro-Wei country, and rewarded him with some property. There is a country in the south of Yamatai country called Gonu country. , but the state of Wei is beyond the reach of the whip, and can only help with proclamations. After Himiko's death, his daughter and successor are still the queen of Yamatai."

Liu Yin wondered: "This Himihu has never married, why does he have a daughter?"

Yan Xun said: "Taiyu is Himiko's adopted daughter from the family, but there are rumors that this girl was born in the harem of Himiko's father, in order to show people's eyes and ears, Himiko has not left the palace to meet outsiders for many years. King Yong At this time, when you ask about the matter of the Wa Kingdom, does it mean that you have crossed the sea to conquer?"

Liu Yin didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "General Yan has led the party for a long time, and he is familiar with the affairs of the Japanese country. In your opinion, can the Japanese country be conquered?"

Yan Xun couldn't figure out Liu Yin's real intentions for a while, so he said: "General Su Mo said bluntly that fighting across the sea will cost a lot, while the Japanese country is a barbaric land with scarce products, even if the conquest is successful, the gains will not be worth the losses. "

Liu Yin laughed, and said: "The economic account is definitely not worth it, but besides the economic account, there is a more important account, which is related to his descendants, but it cannot be measured by money."

Yan Xun was very curious, and guessed in his heart what the more important account Liu Yin mentioned was, but Liu Yin didn't say anything, and he didn't have the guts to ask, but in his opinion, the barren and desolate Wa country, there is no such thing at all. The need for conquests, cross-sea combat is no better than land routes, and the warships and food supplies required are quite amazing. If the price paid for the conquest is much higher than the income, it is better not to go on the conquest.

But Liu Yin's mind is what he can understand. Of course, from the perspective of today's people, the Wa country, which is no different from the barren land, is not worth the Han army's labor and troops to attack.But for thousands of years, the Central Plains dynasty has always held such prejudices. They will not fight this year and will not fight next year, so that the Wa Kingdom will become stronger step by step. Later, it will become a trend that cannot be lost. It is already powerless.

The two conquests of the Yuan and Mongolian Empires against the Wa Kingdom became the final swan song. Even the Mongols, who were as strong as the Mongols, were unable to conquer the Wa Kingdom. Later, the Ming and Qing Empires gradually became passive and beaten.This small island country has become the last hidden pain of the Chinese nation.

By chance, Liu Yin stood at the nearest place to the Wa country, hundreds of miles away, was the island country, this point, even Liu Yin never thought of it when he sent troops to the west of Liaoxi.

Should he continue to move forward, march across the sea, or accept as soon as he sees good results, and return to the Central Plains? At this moment, Liu Yin is still very conflicted in his heart. If he retreats, he will be successful. For Liu Yin, fighting a sea battle is extremely risky.

Naval battles are no different than land battles. As long as land battles are provided with sufficient food and perfect logistics, even a journey spanning thousands of miles will not be worrying.

Naval battles are no different than water battles. Warships are also used, but the areas where water battles are carried out are generally inland rivers and lakes. , is not competent for the task of crossing the sea.And the violent wind and huge waves on the sea are even more terrifying. If there are strong winds and huge waves when crossing the sea, no matter how many people there are, no matter how many boats there are, it will not help the matter, and they can only be buried in the sea.

However, Liu Yin didn't mean to back down in the slightest. He was reborn to eliminate the suffering of the Chinese nation. The Wuhu has now been trampled under his feet. With the destruction of Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei, disasters and chaos China's centuries-long Wuhuhuahua was eliminated in the bud.

It is Liu Yin's short-term goal to eliminate the five chaos in China. It is an extraordinary thing to really want to eliminate the suffering of the Chinese nation. Liu Yin does not know whether it will be effective, but since Liu Yin has already stood here, Then there is absolutely no thought of retreating or fearing.

Although cross-sea combat is a brand new challenge for Liu Yin. After all, Liu Yin has been fighting land battles for more than ten years. In terms of sea battle experience, Liu Yin is completely blank. Yin is timid and has no experience, so he will search for it through groping. What Liu Yin does not lack now is fighting spirit and determination. No matter how difficult the difficulty is, he can overcome it.
