Great Military Division

Chapter 493 Gan Ning surrenders, Zhou Yu finally goes into battle, sweeping the Jingnan barbarians!
Above the Han River, gunpowder smoke filled the air and flames of war raged.

Broken logs and wreckage can be seen everywhere on the turbulent river. The trembling Jingxiang soldiers held logs and swayed non-stop with the undulating waves, their eyes full of unknown fear.

The Nanyang navy, which had won a great victory, kept catching the captives who fell into the water. For Sun Jian, they would be a group of soldiers who were good at fighting. If they were absorbed, they could quickly make up for their own shortcomings.

of course!

In addition, in the flank direction of the battlefield, the sound of battle can still be heard sporadically. There are already three layers in and three layers out, surrounded completely, and there is no possibility of escape.

"Boy, don't you surrender yet?"

General Huang Gai stood at the bow of the boat, held a Huan Shou knife, and shouted at the top of his voice: "As long as I give an order, so many fires and thunders will be thrown down, and you will be turned into a puddle of mud, and then you will be buried in the belly of the fish. Isn't that a pity?"

"My general reads that your Excellency fought bravely and wanted to save your life. If you don't cherish such a golden opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Put down your weapons quickly and surrender to our army."

In the next second, the surrounding Nanyang navy shouted in unison:
"Those who disarm and surrender, forget the past;"

"Those who resist in the corner will be shot and killed!"

"Those who disarm and surrender, forget the past;"

"The Recalcitrant."

"Surrender."

"."

The sound is like a bell, and the sound is like thunder, spreading in all directions, shaking the four fields.

In the besieged lonely boat, except for Gan Ning, the rest of the soldiers already showed hesitation, and the shields gathered in their hands also subconsciously fell slowly.

"General, we have no way out, or we should surrender."

"Yes, General, Huang Zu looks down on you so much, why should we sacrifice our lives for it?"

"From the current situation, at least Nanyang Hanting attaches great importance to the general, let's surrender."

"You are from Bashu, so naturally you can't get into Jingxiang's circle, but Nanyang is different. Here we only talk about ability, regardless of origin."

"General, all the brothers are willing to follow you. I don't want you to sacrifice your life for Huang Zu."

"Surrender, General."

"."

Holding the shield in his hand, Gan Ning glanced at his own soldiers, took a deep breath, and also felt a little hesitant.

After all, Huang Zu did not treat him well. As a Bashu person, it was difficult to survive in such an environment. Even if he was very capable, he was only a wage earner at best.

But Nanyang Hanting is not the case. Everything depends on their own ability. If they have strong ability and military exploits, they will naturally be promoted.

Have to admit.

Nanyang Hanting is a relatively fair environment. Only in such an environment can one show one's talent to the greatest extent and obtain the greatest improvement.

At this moment, Gan Ning gradually relaxed, raised his eyes to look at Huang Gai who was not far away, and shouted at the top of his voice, "I, Gan Ning, can surrender, but I must let General Sun come over in person, otherwise I would rather die in battle than surrender. "

"Humph!"

Huang Gai snorted softly, and the joy in his heart dissipated in an instant: "You alone? You deserve my general to come over? Do you really think I can't catch you?"

"Yes."

Pan Zhang on the side held a Huan Shou knife and stared at Gan Ning: "Who do you think you are? You're just waiting to die, and you still want my general to come here in person? It's really an inch."

"We've given you a chance to surrender. It's already an exception. You boy, don't be shameless. Otherwise, we will attack together. When you are young, you will be buried in the belly of the fish."

Gan Ning is also a stubborn one, seeing Huang Gai and others' reluctance, the arrogance in his heart surged up immediately: "Then come, even if you die, I, Gan Ning, will kill two hundred of your soldiers."

Naval warfare is by no means the same as infantry, two hundred soldiers are twenty warships, and with one's own strength, killing the soldiers of twenty warships, I am afraid that in this world, only Gan Ning dares to boast so much.

"What a Gan Ning, you are really arrogant."

"brothers!"

Just when Huang Gai was about to order a strong attack.

Suddenly, a warship approached from behind, followed by a familiar voice: "Wait a minute!"

It was Sun Jian.

Huang Gai made a judgment at once.

He looked away.

However, a battleship was slowly approaching, and two familiar figures walked over: "General, why are you here?"

Sun Jian smiled indifferently, waved his hands, and said softly, "I see that you have surrounded General Gan, I'm afraid you will be impulsive and kill him, so come and have a look."

"How about it?"

Speaking of this, Sun Jian raised his eyes and smiled at Gan Ning: "General Gan, are you willing to submit to the imperial court? With your ability, you will surely achieve a great career in the future."

"Jingxiang's circle is not suitable for us outsiders, they play it by themselves. Only when you and I are in the imperial court can we get the most fair treatment and have the possibility to truly achieve a career."

Afterwards, Huang Gai said coldly: "Boy, my general has come to welcome you personally. I have already given you enough face. Can I put down my weapons and surrender now?"

"Yes."

Pan Zhang echoed casually: "My general came to welcome you in person. No one in the army has ever enjoyed such a great gift. You are No. 1. You are proud enough. Surrender quickly."

However.
At this moment, Gan Ning's stubborn temper has come up, and he raised his head and said fiercely: "It was possible before, but not now, let him come here alone. If he dares to do this, I, Gan Ning, will surrender immediately!"

Huang Gai was furious, and shouted sharply: "Stinky boy, you are courting death!"

Pan Zhang held the Huan Shou knife: "Do you really think I can't kill you?"

Gan Ning's eyes widened with anger: "Come on! If I, Gan Ning, frown, I'm not a good man!"

The water and fire are on the verge of breaking out.

"Hahaha!"

But as Sun Jian raised his head to the sky and laughed wildly, the tit-for-tat momentum suddenly calmed down.

He waved his hand and signaled Zhou Yu: "You go on another boat, I will personally pick up General Gan, and then we will have a celebration banquet to clean up General Gan's dust."

"General!"

Huang Gai was about to stop him, but was interrupted by Sun Jian's hand in advance: "Don't worry, I believe that General Gan is a hero. Your Majesty can tolerate the world, and I, Sun Jian, should follow suit."

"But."

"Nothing but!"

Before Huang Gai could speak, he was interrupted by Sun Jian again: "I am the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. If I don't even have this bit of courage, how can I make things happen? Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Immediately.

Sun Jian himself took a small boat and sailed slowly towards Gan Ning.

At this moment, even the arrogant Gan Ning couldn't help being shocked. Sun Jian, as the commander of the three armies, was really not worthy of a sword, and sailed towards him in a small boat.

He has a calm face and a faint smile, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. If Sun Jian can do this, maybe His Majesty the Emperor of Hanting in Nanyang can do the same.

When the boat approached and the distance between the two of them was only a few feet, Sun Jian bowed his hands and said loudly, "General Gan, please submit to the imperial court. Let's work together to revitalize the great man."

At this moment, Gan Ning was so moved that he threw the weapon in his hand into the Han River, and immediately bowed his hands and said, "The last general, Gan Ning, is willing to submit to the imperial court and obey the general's orders."

"Get up."

Sun Jian helped Gan Ning up with his own hands, and said with a smile, "You are submitting to the imperial court now, whether you can become my Sun Jian's subordinate depends on the imperial court's arrangement."

"But don't worry"

Speaking of this, Sun Jian's attitude was clear, and he said sonorously: "I, Sun Jian, will definitely write a letter to Your Majesty in person, hoping to put you under my command."

Naturally, Gan Ning had heard the examination rules of Nanyang Hanting, and tentatively asked: "What does the general mean, does the last general also have to go through the imperial court's examination procedures?"

"of course."

Sun Jian nodded affirmatively, and said softly: "No one can avoid it, but with your ability, it must be very easy to pass the exam. I really believe in your ability."

Gan Ning didn't mean to complain at all, but instead nodded his head and let out a sigh of relief: "I am like this, and so are others. No one can avoid it. The court is really fair."

Sun Jian smiled lightly: "Actually, it's a bit unfair."

Gan Ning frowned: "What does the general mean by that?"

Sun Jian said softly: "The imperial court's exams are more difficult for those who recommend them, but they will be arranged in advance, so your exams will be a little more difficult than ordinary people. If you fail, we are afraid that we will have no chance."

"I see."

Hearing this, Gan Ning was not only not angry, but even happier.

This can effectively prevent those who have connections with family backgrounds and those who have no skills from mixing into the court: "General, don't worry, you will pass the exam in the end."

"kindness."

Sun Jian nodded, and patted Gan Ning on the shoulder: "I believe in your ability, let's go, go back to the camp, set up a banquet with wine, return the general to the court, and clean up the dust."

Gan Ning bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Thank you, General!"

*****
Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Wende Hall.

Liu Bian held a small iron gadget in his hand, looked at it carefully, twisted it casually, and the front end of it bloomed like a lotus flower, the design was ingenious.

"teacher."

While playing with it, Liu Bian communicated with the Military Division Alliance: "Can this kind of thing really solve the problem of Jizhou's reconstruction of the city gate? Will this thing break or be pulled out by someone."

"Do not worry."

The Military Division Alliance was very confident and nodded affirmatively: "Our current technology has far surpassed the entire era. It may not be so easy for Yuan Shao to break it."

"This kind of thing is called a lotus lock by experts. It is specially designed for the Jizhou city gate. It only needs to block the holes in certain parts of the city gate, and our explosives can play a role again."

"Moreover, linking them externally can also produce a lifting effect on the explosives, which is more beneficial to the blasting of the city gate. We can use the least amount of explosives to produce the best effect."

Liu Bian was amazed: "Oh? So, our previous explosive installation was not the best solution?"

The Military Division Alliance said affirmatively: "Of course not! It is just the most trouble-free solution, and it is also the easiest to learn. Anyway, the opponent has no way to deal with it, and the experts have not optimized it."

In a modern enterprise, there will be a dedicated technical department to optimize the technical solutions, with the purpose of obtaining the best results at the lowest cost.

This is based on the pursuit of profit. However, in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, Liu Bian's core technology was already ahead of the times, so it was not optimized.

But the situation is completely different now. Since Yuan Shao already has a solution, experts can only optimize the existing technical solutions in this situation.

This is a technological war!
"I see."

Liu Bian nodded, deeply agreeing.

Immediately.

His eyes fell on Liu Ye, and he said softly: "Have you tried this lotus lock? How firm is it?"

Liu Ye bowed his body and cupped his hands, and responded sonorously: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have tested it hundreds of times according to the requirements, and it is very strong. It will take at least half an hour to break it open, which is enough for the fire and thunder to explode."

"Your Majesty is extremely intelligent, and I admire you so much."

Such a task was actually given to Kit Kat Pavilion.

But
It took Liu Ye a long time, but he didn't think of a solution. He finally came up with some ideas, but after making them, they always didn't meet the requirements.

As the time was approaching, Liu Ye had no choice but to turn to His Majesty the Emperor for help. As a result, the lotus lock scheme that His Majesty gave was a great success.

Because of this, in Liu Ye's heart, such achievements belonged to His Majesty the Emperor, not to their Kit Kat Pavilion, so he deeply admired the Emperor's intelligence.

"kindness."

Liu Bian agreed thick-skinned, he is used to this kind of thing: "Since it has been successful, let's mass-produce it, transport it to the front line as quickly as possible, and hand it over to Zhang Liao, Cao Cao, and Xu Rong. "

Liu Ye bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

Liu Ye left Wende Hall with his front foot, and Zhu Tong pushed the door in with his back foot, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, there is a good news from Fancheng."

Liu Bian frowned: "Oh? Could it be that Wentai has already defeated Cai Mao?"

Zhu Tong nodded: "That's right, Cai Mao has already been defeated, and Xiangyang has been captured, and the imperial army has already intervened in Jingbei. It depends on each county, and it will be effortless."

Liu Bian heaved a sigh of relief: "That's great, what about Cai Mao and Kuai Yue?"

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "As His Majesty expected, he abandoned the Jingxiang water army and led the remaining soldiers and horses, heading straight to Nanjun. Presumably, he will guard the Yangtze River and deal with the imperial court based on Jingnan."

"It really is."

Liu Bian was amazed by the prediction of the experts of the Military Division Alliance, and said with a long breath: "Next, we can only look at the cooperation of Sun Jian and Zhou Yu. The barbarians in Jingnan are very powerful, and it is not so easy to subdue."

Immediately.

He got up slowly, walked to the bookshelf beside him, took out a letterhead, and handed it to Zhu Tong: "Send this letter to Zhou Yu, if the barbarians can be subdued, they will all be subdued, if not, then follow this method. "

Zhu Tong put the letter into his arms, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely send someone to deliver this letter to General Zhou."

Liu Bian gave a simple grace, waved his hand and said, "Back off."

Zhu Tong nodded: "Here. By the way, Your Majesty, Sun Jian subdued Gan Ning. He hoped that His Majesty would assign Gan Ning to him again and become his general."

"kindness."

This was originally in Liu Bian's plan: "Yes, as long as Gan Ning passes the exam, he will be transferred to Sun Jian's account to supplement the strength of Sun Jian's generals."

Zhu Tong bowed and cupped his hands: "Here."

Samoke in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was not invented by Lao Luo, but a real one.

He is one of the barbarian kings among the many barbarians in Wuling, the relatively powerful Wuxi Man.

According to the experts of the military division alliance, they are collectively referred to as Wuling Man.

According to rumors, Wuling Man is the descendant of Chiyou Panhu (hù) and the Ba people in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

According to the records of "Historical Records of the Five Emperors": "Chiyou caused chaos without the emperor's orders, so the Yellow Emperor conquered the princes and fought with Chiyou in the field of Zhuolu."

According to legend, this is a famous battle in the ancient history of our country - the Battle of Zhuolu.

And Zhuolu may be located in today's Hebei area.

After Chi You's defeat, most of the tribes were annexed by the Yanhuang Tribal Alliance. A small number of people in the tribe did not want to obey the rule of the Yellow Emperor, so they migrated south and scattered in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This tribe was called Sanmiao, or Miaoman.

After Dayu succeeded Emperor Shun as the leader of the tribal alliance, he launched a war against the Sanmiao. After the defeat of the Sanmiao, some of them surrendered to the Huaxia tribal alliance, while the other moved into the mountains.

The deep mountains mentioned here are located in today's Xiangxi and Guizhou areas, which is the area where Wuling Man lived later.

It can be seen from this that the ancestors of Wulingman were most likely the Chiyou tribe living in the Central Plains. Later, they lost the battle with the Huaxia Tribal Alliance, some were merged by the Huaxia Tribal Alliance, and some fled southward to the southwest mountains.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Wuling Man, Wuxi Man, Lishui Man, Qian'an Man and other ethnic groups living in the Wuling area, depending on the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty or local separatist forces, either rebelled or surrendered, and repeatedly fought with the Central Plains Dynasty or the local separatists. The local separatist forces waged wars.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms period, the Wuling Man and other ethnic groups took advantage of the division of the Central Plains and continued to advance towards Dongting Lake and the Jianghan Plain. When they were strong, they reached eastern Hubei and southern Henan.

In the Battle of Xiangfan, after Guan Yu's victory, Jingzhou's Yangtze River went north and south, to the south of Xudu, and the group of barbarians who responded to the uprising was very likely to be Wuxi Man.

In modern times, Wuxi Man and its descendants Miao, Yao, Gelao, Tujia and other ethnic groups have made important contributions to the development of the mountainous areas in Southwest my country and jointly created the Chinese nation today.

of course!

For Liu Bian, he still hopes that this force can become the imperial court's assistance to jointly develop the Jingnan Mountains, but in this era, Wulingman's recognition of the Han Dynasty is still relatively low.

They are more willing to believe in people from Jingzhou like Cai Hao and Kuai Yue, and they are unwilling to believe in the dynasty of the Central Plains, especially the direct descendants of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

After all, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, once sent Ma Yuan to Jingnan, and had a deep grudge with the Wuling barbarians. Although they won a complete victory, the power of the imperial court was still difficult to truly control here.

no way.

A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.

It is not as easy as imagined to truly realize the great integration of the Chinese nation.

Suppression by force can only be managed for a while, not for a lifetime. Only benevolent government can finally gain a sense of acceptance, but such a government order cannot be completed without the time of three generations.

If you want real long-term peace and stability, you must focus on attacking the heart, so that the barbarians will be willing to become members of the Chinese nation. This difficult task is left to Zhou Yu.

This is a test for him!

Liu Bian sat back on the main seat, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked in his heart: "Teacher, Zhou Yu is relatively young after all, do you think he can complete this arduous task?"

"of course can."

The Military Division Alliance is full of confidence in Zhou Yu: "Zhou Yu's mandarin duck army is very powerful, and the barbarians are definitely not their opponents. Coupled with the imperial court's policy on the barbarians, there must be no problem with the two-pronged approach."

"However, this is only a temporary suppression. If you want the barbarians to truly return, you still need to implement a benevolent government and treat them equally. After a long time, you will definitely return."

"Actually, during the Han Dynasty, the imperial government's management of ethnic minorities was relatively complete. There were two kinds of nationalities and Taoism. It was similar to modern ethnic autonomous regions."

Of course, Liu Bian was clear about this point. Experts from the Military Division Alliance had already explained to him the policies of the Han Dynasty, and even listed some empirical explanations in detail.

In short, the nationalities belonging to the country can "because of their old customs", that is, retain the original social organization system, as well as living and production habits, and be politically protected by the captain of the subordinate country appointed by the government.

For example, the vassal state of Zhangye, the vassal state of Jiuquan, the vassal state of Liaodong, the vassal state of Guanghan, the vassal state of Qianwei, the vassal state of Western Yuexie, and the vassal state of Badong, etc.

And what about Tao?
It is an administrative unit that is similar to a vassal state and is specially set up in ethnic minority areas.

The difference between the two is that the vassal state is used to resettle the affiliated ethnic minorities, and its status is about the same as that of a county, while the road is set in remote areas where ethnic minorities live together, at the same level as a county.

For example, Diandi Road, Gangdi Road, Yinping Road, Gudao, Pingle Road, Jialing Road, Di Road, Di Road, Yu Road, Qiang Road, and Ying Road and Leng Road in Lingling County.

General Pang De of the Three Kingdoms was a native of Kidao County, Nan'an County.

Wang Shuang is from Didao County, Longxi County.

Although Liu Bian is still worried, he can only trust Zhou Yu's strength at the moment: "Oh, there is no other way now, we can only follow our established plan."

"If Zhou Yu lives up to his high expectations, it will be the best. If it doesn't work, then change someone. There will always be someone who can solve the Wuling Man problem. Now I understand that sentence more and more. The most important thing to be an emperor is the way to control people. .”

The voice of the military division alliance immediately sounded: "That's right, this is the importance of experts collecting relevant information on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty from the very beginning. It is completely possible to find out what kind of work they are suitable for through analysis."

"According to experts' predictions, Zhou Yu's probability of completing this task is as high as 88.17%. Although he is still young, it will not affect his performance at all."

"This battle is also an opportunity for Zhou Yu to make contributions. Otherwise, we would have no reason to promote him. According to the expert's plan for Zhou Yu, he is one of the commanders of the navy in the future. Can he still complete such a trivial matter?"

Liu Bian nodded with interest.

That's right.

The imperial court's requirements for the commander-in-chief are still relatively high.

The Military Division Alliance's evaluation of Zhou Yu is indeed somewhat unexpectedly high.

Since it's a trivial test, is there any reason why it won't work?
