The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 294 Dragon Travels the World Shan Kingdom and Pyu People

Between the northwestern part of Funan and Tianzhu, there is a plain with mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. Lishui (the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar) passes through the middle, winds for nearly five thousand miles, and flows into the Andaman Sea.Both sides of the river are fertile alluvial plains, which are particularly suitable for living and have been inhabited very early.The earliest recorded in the historical materials of the Han Dynasty is the Taigong Kingdom, which was probably established between King Zhou Li and King Zhou You. There is a saying that the people of the Taigong Kingdom were originally Zhou people, and they moved to this land because they could not bear the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. I hope that there will be a virtuous minister like Taigong Lu Wang to assist the monarch, and the world will be peaceful, so the country is established as the Taigong Kingdom.This is of course a legend, and there is no information to prove it. Moreover, four years after the founding of the Taigong Kingdom, it has long since disappeared in the long river of history.

Now occupying this land is Shan State.Shan State is a country established by the Shan people. It is hard to tell when it was established, because they have no written language and can only pass it on by word of mouth, so some say 200 years, and some say 400 years. There is a big difference.However, in the ninth year of Hedi Yongyuan, the then king Yongyoudiao of the Shan Kingdom sent people to the Han Dynasty to pay tribute to treasures, and later succeeded Emperor An. After they got the news, they sent people to pay tribute. The then empress dowager Deng Suihe General Deng Zhi was very happy, and issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor, making Yong Youdiao the captain of the Han Dynasty.Yong Youtiao was very happy, and later sent people to pay tribute many times.

At that time, the Han Dynasty was a distant legend. Being able to establish relations with the Han Dynasty and get the title of the Han Dynasty would greatly help the prestige of the Shan State. When Yong Youdiao was in power, the national power of the Shan State reached At the peak, the power almost expanded to the entire Lijiang area, and even once clashed with the equally powerful Funan Kingdom at that time.The two countries have been at war for many years, and the feud is very deep. After all, Shan is not the opponent of Funan. The many years of fighting have greatly affected the national strength of Shan, and it has become weaker and weaker. enter.

The Pyu people, like the Shan people, both come from the north of the mountains in the north. According to the customs and habits, the Pyu people can also be regarded as a branch of Baiyue, called Piaoyue. This branch of Yue people still has remnants in Yongchang County. There are Pyuyue people near Ailao country.

Taking advantage of the fighting between the Shan people and the Funan people, the Pyu people gained a foothold in Lijiang, and quickly developed into a large clan. They occupied the city of Sri Chatan Luo (now the city of Prome, Myanmar) that originally belonged to the Shan country, and continued to The conflict with Shan State is a headache for Shan State.

Sun Shao destroyed Funan and brought hope to Shan.According to the reasoning that the enemy of the enemy is the friend, the State of Yue, which destroyed Funan, the confidant of the Shan State, should be the best ally of the Shan State, not to mention that the State of Yue is also a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, the former suzerain of Shan State. Therefore, in the fight against the Pyu people While being pressed step by step and helpless, the Shan State thought of the Yue State, and they sent envoys to ask the Yue State to intervene.Before Sun Shao destroyed Funan, the Shan and Pyu people bowed their heads to Funan, and now they can be regarded as the vassal state of Yue.If there is a conflict in the vassal state, it is a matter of course for the suzerain state to come forward to resolve it.

However, this is just wishful thinking of the Shan country. The Pyu people don't think so. They have a good relationship with the Fan family in Funan. He asked Zhu Luo across the sea for help.

Zhuluo is the largest of the many countries at the southern end of the Tianzhu continent. There are dozens of large and small countries in the southern part of Tianzhu, and there are three of the strongest. It is the country of Zheluo.These three countries have strong navigation capabilities because they are close to the sea, and among them, Zhuluo's navy is the most powerful.Relying on a powerful navy, Zhu Luo captured Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) which was originally under the sphere of influence of Pandya in the south, and also controlled the trade from Tianzhu to Funan and Borneo. The navy clashed in the Andaman Sea in an attempt to fight for the control of the Jinchen Kingdom. Later, due to the expedition of the troops, they failed to continue and were defeated by the army led by Fan Man himself, and then retreated back to Tianzhu.

There are not many local products in Ceylon Island, but because it is a transit point for east-west trade, business tax is a big income, and it is the source of income for Choro to maintain its strength. And it's over. The Yue Navy not only controlled Funan, but also Borneo. Except for the merchant ships escorted by the Yue Navy, even if they ventured through the Malagu Strait and entered Borneo-now the Han people call it the sea. State - It is also difficult for them to buy spices, because this sea area is also controlled by the Yue people. If they want to buy all kinds of spices and gems, they can only buy them from the Yue people.

The result of this is that they no longer have huge profits, they can only make a little money, and all the big money is made by the Yue people.

Of course, King Chu Luo was not satisfied. In order to pursue profits, he wanted to break the hegemony of the Yue people over Borneo. However, he was not stupid. Although he did not know the inside story of the Battle of Ca Mau Island, the Funan navy was wiped out by the Yue navy. Yes, that's a fact, and the Funan navy had beaten him so badly that his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen.When the situation was unclear, he didn't want to rashly provoke the Vietnamese people, so he could only test it out first.

The Pyu's request for help gave King Chola a great opportunity.He immediately replied to the leader of the Pyu people, expressing his full support, and told him to fight the Yue Kingdom boldly. Once the Yue Kingdom Navy was dispatched, the Zhuluo Navy would cross the Bay of Bengal to support the Pyu people nearby.

I have to say that the Pyu people are really a bit husky. They didn't even see a Chula warship, so they believed King Chula's words, and they harassed the Shan country more vigorously, and made the Shan king—the Hung King of the year Yong Youkai, the great-grandson of Yong Youdiao, was cornered and could only keep urging Yue to send troops to intervene.But the news came back that King Sun Shao of Yue went to the Central Plains and did not return. The Da Nong who stayed behind made Shen Xuan and Yin Gu Tan of Funan not dare to act rashly, and never sent reinforcements. They were very happy, they felt that the Yue Kingdom was nothing more than that, and it was mostly luck that they could defeat Funan.

Seeing that the Pyu people are getting more and more arrogant, and the Shan country that has been passed down for hundreds of years is about to be destroyed, the good news finally came. The king of Yue, Sun Shao, led [-] sailors and rushed to the Pyu people's headquarters. On the west side of the city, a truce was issued to the Pyu and the Shan State, requiring them to accept negotiations under the supervision of the Yue State.

After receiving this news, the Pyu people panicked. Although they were victorious in attacking the Shan country, they had not been able to capture all of the Shan country. Now the Yue people were only a hundred miles away from their base camp, while the Choluo people could not even see their shadows. Can't see, things can be a little bad.On the one hand, the Pyu people withdrew to the Shicha Tanluo City to prepare to defend, and on the other hand, they sent people to urge King Zhuluo.In contrast, the Shan people seemed overjoyed, and Yong Youkai immediately sent the clan minister Yong Wujiang as an envoy, bringing treasures and twenty Shan beauties to the seaside to meet Sun Shao.

Yong Wujiang is an old man in his fifties. He is very handsome, with a round face and fair skin. He stands out from the crowd who are mostly dark and thin. His grandfather used to be a tribute envoy. After staying in Luoyang for a period of time, he could speak a few words of Chinese and practice the etiquette of Han people. When he saw Sun Shao, he bowed down according to the etiquette of a vassal state to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Hu stopped him, Yong Wujiang was a little surprised, looked at Tu Hu who was a full head and a half taller than him, staring, not knowing what he did wrong.

"I'm just a king of the Han Dynasty, not the emperor. You can't follow the etiquette just now." Sun Shao said kindly: "This can't be messed up, otherwise, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, I will be criticized."

Yong Wujiang smiled knowingly, he knew that the Han people had great rules and strict hierarchies, although those powerful and powerful people were doing nonsense behind their backs, but the superficial rules still had to be followed.He didn't force it, and met again according to the etiquette of meeting princes and kings.Sun Shao accepted it calmly, and then accepted the gift. He has seen too many good things in Funan for so long. Although these were carefully selected by the Shan Kingdom, he didn't have any happy expression, which made Yong Wujiang flustered for a while. Fortunately, as soon as the twenty Shan beauties came up, Sun Shao showed a satisfied smile and nodded again and again, and Yong Wujiang heaved a sigh of relief.

"Shan country has outstanding people, not only talents like noble envoys, but also beauties." Sun Shao said with a smile.

Yong Wujiang didn't understand everything, but after the interpreter translated it, he was very happy, and quickly said a few words modestly, but he smiled in his heart, a sage in the Han said that young people are good at sex, it's really good, look at the king of Yue You will know if you have a female officer with you.

Sun Shao hosted a banquet in honor of Yong Wujiang, during the meeting there was a lot of chatting and laughing, Sun Shao was in a very good mood, Yong Wujiang was full of praise for the lacquer tableware that was put on the table, Sun Shao immediately gave him a set of buckles, and Yong Wujiang was so happy that he smiled and Yong Wujiang praised Said that Sun Shao's ship is big, and Sun Shao took advantage of the wine to take him to the Feilu, pointed at the huge fleet, and said in a slightly bragging tone: "Look, my navy is bigger than Zhu Luo's. How is your sailor?"

When Yong Wujiang came here, he only saw the shadows of the sails, but he didn't see the whole picture of the fleet. At that time, he was half relieved. Now that he climbed up and looked far, he could see the fleet in a glance, and he was relieved immediately.He said with a smile on his face: "My lord, Zhu Luo's navy is really vulnerable compared to yours. Not to mention the king's ship, even if it is a battleship, it is not something that Zhu Luo's navy can handle. With the king With your help, our Shan country can be saved."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed loudly, looking around arrogantly, Cui Qian patted Yong Wujiang's shoulder in an old-fashioned way: "Then do you think the Zhuluo people will come?"

Yong Wujiang stroked the neatly trimmed beard under his chin, thought for a while, and said: "I will definitely come. The Zhuluo people are used to running rampant in this area, and they have never seen such a powerful navy in your country. It’s a pain, I think they won’t be wise.”

After hearing the translation, Cui Qian sneered: "This is the best. I'm afraid that if they don't come, we will have to rush to their door. It's not far, but it's troublesome."

Yong Wujiang was stunned, and then laughed again. With such a powerful Yue State Navy as the backing, it seems that there is no need to worry anymore.He thought for a while, then asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how will you deal with the Pyu people?"

Sun Shao waved his hand disapprovingly: "Your envoy, don't worry, if the Pyu people know the seriousness, listen to my mediation, and withdraw from the Shan country, then of course there is nothing to say. If they don't know what to do, you must teach them a lesson. I just don't know if your country is still there. How much strength do you have, can you respond from the side?"

Yong Wujiang had been prepared for a long time, and quickly said: "Your Majesty is going out to fight for our Shan country. How can our Shan country have any reason to watch? It is also an honor for our Shan country to be able to go out in front of the king's horse. I heard that His Majesty is the king In order to appease the Great General, my family's big man is also a hereditary captain of the Han Dynasty named by His Majesty the big man, and he should obey orders under the king's tent."

Sun Shao chuckled, very satisfied with Yong Wujiang's obedience, they went back to continue drinking, Yong Wujiang couldn't wait to ask about the plan to go ashore to attack the Pyu people, he said with confidence that they would not listen to the Pyu people colluding with the Zhuluo people Your Majesty's advice is that instead of waiting for the Zhuluo people to come and attack, it is better to kill the Pyu people first, so as not to have to divide the troops for defense when the time comes.

Sun Shao didn't listen to him, Yong Wujiang acted too aggressively, and was suspected of dragging the Yue Kingdom into a pit of fire. He came to mediate, and without absolute certainty and necessity, he blatantly annihilated the Pyu people who had just stabilized the situation. The situation in Funan is unfavorable.What's more, he has no intention of occupying this land yet. Once he takes it, he and Tianzhu will face each other directly. There are Shan and Pyu countries competing with each other here. There are enough advantages.

Sun Shao had another idea. What Yong Wujiang wanted was to use the strength of the Yue Kingdom to attack the Pyu people. He might not necessarily want to see the Yue people really come to occupy the territory of the Pyu people. It's going to change, instead of this, it's better to let Yong Wujiang feel at ease and attack the Pyu tribe without fear. Anyway, between the Puyu tribe and the Zhuluo, it is impossible for the Shan country to restore its former strength. Can surrender to Yue State in exchange for peace.The purpose of Sun Shao's visit this time is to deter the Shan and Pyu people while deterring Zhu Luo.

Seeing that Sun Shao insisted on his principles and refused to destroy the Pyu people first, Yong Wujiang was both happy and worried.While he was relieved, he was also afraid that Sun Shao would not dare to really help them fight the Pyu people. After much deliberation, it seemed that only beautiful women could attract Sun Shao, so he immediately sent someone back to report Shan Wang Yongyoukai, so that He then recruited some young and beautiful women to dedicate to Sun Shao in exchange for Sun Shao's help.

After half a month, the envoy of the Pyu people came late. Compared with Yong Wujiang's elegant demeanor, the envoy of the Pyu people was simply an uncivilized barbarian. He didn't wear a crown on his head, but his hair was tied up, and his face was swollen. It was painted in red and white, and although a piece of cloth was draped over her body, more than half of her muscular chest was still exposed.Although his eyes trembled involuntarily when he saw the huge building boat, he still got on the boat swaggeringly and went directly to Sun Shao's building boat to ask for a meeting.

Sun Shao was listening to a bhikkhuni explaining Buddhist scriptures in the cabin. Although this bhikkhuni knew a little Chinese, his words were harder than Sanskrit. I didn't understand anything, and after translating a few sentences, the three of them stared at each other, unable to continue.Originally, Zhou Yu, who was accompanying him, was also fluent in Sanskrit and had some knowledge of Buddhist scriptures, but Sun Shao subconsciously didn't want to invite her, so he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and seeing that bhikkhuni, who was no more than 20 years old at most, insisted on telling him The stubbornness of having to convert to Buddhism caused an unspeakable evil fire in his heart. He thought very evilly that the reason why this beautiful little nun entered Buddhism must be because she had never tasted the wonderful taste of sex with men and women. It's done, I don't know if she will return to vulgarity—in fact, he was really wrong. Buddhism at this time does not prohibit marriage, and monks and nuns can also marry.

As soon as he heard that the envoy of the Pyu was very powerful, the evil fire in Sun Shao's heart, which had no place to vent, immediately found an outlet. He ignored the beautiful bhikkhuni, winked at Tu Hu, got up and left the hatch.

Tu Hu followed out of the cabin, took two steps forward, and stood on the side, just blocking the path of the hustling envoy.The emissary was climbing up with his head down, when suddenly he felt darkness in front of his eyes. He looked up, as if he saw a wall in front of him, he was startled, and instinctively took a step back. Almost fell into the water.He reacted quickly, grabbed the escalator with one hand, and pulled out the crescent-shaped scimitar at his waist with the other.

Tu Hu showed a sinister smile that didn't match his simple and honest face, and watched the Hussar envoy pull out the knife, suddenly both hands came out, pinching his wrist holding the knife with one hand, and pinching his neck with the other. He lifted it up in the air like catching a chick, took a step back, and smashed him onto the deck with a "snap", twisted his wrist flexibly, and the scimitar fell into his hand.

"Bold, how dare you draw your saber in front of the king, want to assassinate?" Tu Hu shouted angrily, his voice was like a Hong Zhong, almost knocked the envoy who had fallen dizzy to the point of fainting.He rolled his eyes, looked at the knife light in front of him, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.He raised his head and looked at Tu Hu with cold eyebrows again, his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, his arrogance just now disappeared, and he lay on the deck tremblingly, talking incessantly.

The interpreter, whose face was pale with fright, only rushed forward at this time. He originally wanted to rush to Sun Shao to explain, but was blocked by Tu Hu, unable to make any progress, so he had to speak the messenger's words loudly with a trembling voice Once again, it was nothing more than soft words like begging for mercy.

Seeing the envoy's cowardice, Sun Shao's depressed mood got better. He waved his hand, motioned Tu Hu to step back, walked slowly in front of the envoy, lowered his head, looked at the envoy's trembling shoulders, and felt cold. He said: "Is your Piao country still a vassal state of our Yue country?"

The envoy glanced blankly at the interpreter. Although he couldn't understand Sun Shao's words, he could tell from the look in his eyes that the Yue king in front of him was in a bad mood. If he didn't deal with it properly, the mountainous man just now might tear him into pieces. two halves.When the interpreter stammered over the translation, he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly said: "Of course, of course."

Sun Shao sneered: "Of course it is? Then let me ask you, did you send envoys when I entered Temucheng? I built a palace in Temucheng, and many state-owned ones donated wood, and some donated carpets. The smallest country also wants to send me a few rhino horns to make wine glasses for me. What did you people send? Do you want me to pick it up in person? Now that I am here, you still have such a big air, and it took half a month to come. .Do you know that if the king is willing, he will have already won your Shilichatanluo in half a month."

The envoy heard that Sun Shao's voice was not good, so he didn't know how to answer, but just lay on the ground trembling.Sun Shao was annoyed and funny when he saw it. Such a reckless man could actually be an envoy. Either the hussies are all well-developed limbs and simple-minded rams, or the hussars don't take themselves seriously, so they just send someone Let's deal with it.He frowned, kicked the emissary lying on the ground, and shouted: "Say it!"

The envoy took a few steps back, shaking his head again and again, he was already in a panic.

"Come on, hang him to the top of the mast, let him take a good look at the majesty of my navy, and then talk." Sun Shao was in no mood to talk to him, and with an order, two warriors rushed forward, dragging The messenger drew him to the side of the mast, tied his legs with cables, and hoisted him to the top of the mast.On the top of the tall mast, the messenger only took one look at the whole picture of the navy before fainting.As for whether he was fainted by the size of the navy or had a fear of heights, it is unclear.

Yong Wujiang who came over after hearing the news was delighted to see the envoy of the Huns hanging upside down on the top of the mast, and Sun Shao and the Huns would not be able to talk together anymore.He fanned the fire again, trying his best to encourage Sun Shao to launch an attack on the Pyu people immediately.Sun Shao originally wanted to hang the messenger for two hours, but he fainted as soon as he was hung up, so he had to let it down again, and woke him up with cold water. In front of Yong Wujiang, he issued an ultimatum , ordered the leader of the Pyu clan to come here in person to admit his mistake within ten days, and obey the mediation, otherwise, the Yue Kingdom will immediately join the army of the Shan Kingdom to go to Shili Chatanluo, immediately destroy your Pyu people, and occupy your land , robbed your women, and captured all the men as slaves.

After uttering harsh words, Sun Shao ordered someone to cut off the messenger's ears, and then drove him out.The envoy who flaunted his might covered his bloody ears, and rushed away, blood spilling all the way.

"What a fucking softie." Sun Shao cursed in disappointment, and when he turned around, he saw the little nun looking at him with a pale face.He twitched his eyebrows and snorted: "Whatever you look at, I'll cut off your ears if you look at it again."

Although the little nun couldn't understand what Sun Shao said, but seeing his ferocious look, she knew that there must be nothing good to say, her legs softened, her eyes rolled, and she fell slowly on the deck.She didn't wear much clothes in the first place, and she couldn't stop anything when she fell down. Her delicate figure was almost completely exposed in front of Sun Shao.

"Fuck!" Sun Shao wiped his nose fiercely, blurted out a curse, glanced at the tiger warriors who were standing straight but couldn't help laughing, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, pointed at one of them and shouted: " Take this little girl in, don't think about it, otherwise you will be responsible for all the consequences."

"Here." The tiger responded cheerfully, hurried forward, put one hand on the little nun's armpit, and the other on her leg, hugged her lightly, and walked away quickly.

"My lord, in fact, although this bhikkhuni is a little annoying, she still looks pretty good." Tu Hu hummed.

"You like it?" Sun Shao glanced at him: "If you like it, take it home and become a concubine."
