Destiny Only Han

Shixin County, port.

The salty and humid sea breeze stirred up waves.

The undulating sea water rushed to the dock, gently shaking the smooth mirror-like water surface, rippling with microwaves, and the sunset glow in the water scattered, colorful mixed and shimmering, and then gathered together and returned to their original state.

Jia Yi likes the scenery here very much, especially the dusk in the bay.

Beside him, Liu Yingke, Zhou Yafu, Liu Zhao and most officials from the Mengzhou Protectorate lined up in sequence.

They are waiting.

In the morning, Zhou Yafu received a telegram, saying that the ship of General Chen Bi, the Zhengman Zhonglang, would arrive in the afternoon or evening.

As subordinates, although the weather is hot at this time, they still have to wait here.

Gradually, the world became dark.

The previously busy port soon became deserted, and the sound of the whirring torches carried by the sea breeze became clearly audible.

Liu Yingke shook his head: "If we were in Panyu Port, there would be big lights illuminating the port as bright as day, and night shift workers would come in to work, and the entire dock would be non-stop all night long..."

Zhou Yafu rolled his eyes at him: "How can it be the same? There are large power plants in Panyu in China. The only small generator we have is from the Royal Navy..."

Liu Zhao was confused.

He was shot while lying down.

After all, that generator is mainly used to drive the ice machine, and then make ice cream for everyone to eat...

Just when he was about to retort, a torch lit up on the lighthouse in the distance, swinging left and right according to a certain pattern.

Zhou Yafu looked at it for a while and nodded: "Bo Yanghou is here."

Jia Yi and others quickly cheered up.

Although Liu Zhao was dissatisfied with Chen Bi's peach picking behavior, he still had a solemn face.

This was not only because Chen Bi came according to the order, but also because of his respect for Chen Bi.

As the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, he naturally understood the courage and wisdom it took for Chen Bi to lead a team into the Chu camp to spread rumors at a young age.

After a while, a small boat came swaying.

Liu Yingke was a little confused and asked, "Why doesn't Marquis Boyang take a big boat?"

Jia Yi lowered his voice and explained: "The night is too dark and it is difficult for large ships to enter the harbor, so they are mostly anchored outside the harbor, and entry and exit are all dependent on small boats."

Liu Yingke nodded to express understanding.

After a while, the boat docked at the dock.

Chen Bi stepped off the boat with frivolous steps and a pale face.

Liu Zhao and Zhou Yafu led the rest of the people to come forward and salute.

"Meet General Zhonglang!"

"No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite..."

Chen Bi took half a step forward, stretched out his hand to help Liu Zhao and Zhou Yafu, and said to Zhou Yafu with a smile: "After a few years, the boy who chased His Majesty everywhere has now grown into a man!"

Zhou Yafu smiled and said nothing.

Liu Zhao saw that Chen Bi's feet were weak and helped Chen Bi forward, shaking his head and saying: "There is a disadvantage in the ship sailing too fast. This person has already reached his destination before he has adapted to life at sea..."

Chen Bi smiled and said, "I'm not seasick."

Liu Zhao asked curiously: "Then why is this?"

Chen Bi looked a little embarrassed: "When the ship entered the port just now, because it was too dark, the owner of the cargo ship on the opposite side was too cautious and did not light more fire, so that my ship almost collided with him..."

Zhou Yafu was confused.

He called the attendant behind him, whispered in a low voice, and ordered him to go see which cargo ship it was, and then punish him severely!
Even if he doesn't understand, he still knows the danger of a ship capsizing in the port!

Not lighting a lamp at night is really harming others and yourself!
Jia Yi took half a step forward and said with a smile: "I have ordered people to prepare a dinner, and tonight I will take the wind for Zhonglang!"

"Don't be too busy eating..." Chen Bi shook his head: "What's the situation now?"

Zhou Yafu replied: "Everything is under control!"

Jia Yi added: "The country of Sunga is in chaos, and a large number of Brahmans and Protestants are killed every day. The king of Sunga is too tired to run and can no longer care about rebuilding the economy."

Liu Zhao also said: "All five thousand members of the Black Crow Knights are here, and I have three thousand Royal Marines. A total of eight thousand soldiers are waiting for us!"

Chen Bi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Eight thousand soldiers are enough."

After all, these 8000 people are equipped with muskets and cannons, and the Black Crow Knights also have heavy cavalry with manned horses and armor. In a plain-dominated area like the Sunga country, I dare not say that one cavalry can equal a thousand, but three to five hundred cavalry can. Enough to overwhelm tens of thousands of infantry!
Zhou Yafu said: "Eight thousand soldiers are enough to plunder the land, but a large number of infantry are still needed to take over the cities along the way."

Chen Bi nodded: "That's natural."

"I have dispatched [-] overseas troops and [-] servant troops from the Anhai Protectorate, Anman Protectorate and Xuanwei Mansion. They will arrive in the next few days."

"The additional [-] troops from the Mengzhou Protectorate are enough to control the situation."

Zhou Yafu cupped his hands and said: "Boyang Hou is old and prudent. No wonder he is favored by His Majesty."

Chen Bi smiled and shook his head and said: "I am self-aware. If you use tactics to defeat the king and his ministers, I still have some experience. But if we fight in formation, I will be beaten to death by your back wave on the beach..."

"Therefore, when I left Chang'an City, Your Majesty personally came to see me off and told me to listen to your and Dongmao Hou's suggestions and not to have my own way..."

Liu Zhao felt warm in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was also a warrior who roamed the battlefield!He thought that the world had forgotten him long ago, but he didn't expect that Liu Ying was still thinking about him!
"So, when I really do my best, I will win a big victory and reestablish a new order!" Chen Bian said, pulling out a tall and long-armed young man from behind: "Here, let me introduce you to a warrior!"

Zhou Yafu and others looked over and saw that the young man was extremely majestic, standing as straight as a mountain.

Chen Bi said loudly: "This man is the nephew of Li Guang, the prince's renouncer, the governor of Longxi County and the guarding Qiang Zhonglang general Qihou Li Bi! Don't look at him. He is still underage, but he is very skilled in bow and horse. He is not worthy of being treated like a million men." Brave!"

Zhou Yafu smiled.

He thought of himself.

It's just that he was still a little kid at that time, and because of his "selflessness", many big-headed soldiers wanted to strangle him to death...

Zhou Yafu reached out and touched Li Guang's iron-like arm, and said with a smile: "Since you are proficient in bow and horse, then stay in our army and be a cavalryman, lead a hundred armored cavalry, and go into battle with the army!"

Li Guang clasped his fists: "I obey!"

Jia Yi looked up at the bright starry sky and sighed silently.

War is coming.

....................................

Fahrenheit City.

King Xunjia lay paralyzed on the bed, feeling weak.

He had just sent away a group of Brahmins who were crying and begging him to send troops.

Those Buddhists who were used as slaves went crazy. Not only did they destroy Brahmin temples and smash statues of gods such as Brahma and Shiva, they even rushed into Brahmin manors, robbed Brahmin wealth, and defiled Brahmin women. Not even men were spared... (Note [-])

For this reason, he could only send troops.

But he knew very well that those thugs were called Buddhists, but in fact they were Protestants.

Behind the scenes stands the Protestantism of Han!
He can't be offended for the time being.

Just as when the bad news of the murder of Boruji came, all the Brahmans and Kshatriyas were furious and wanted to send troops to wipe out Shixin County and avenge the master, but he insisted on not agreeing to do so.

When he was 'study abroad' in Han, he once heard a passage.

It is said that it is a couplet handwritten by the former prince and current emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is hidden in an unknown corner of the East Palace, saying: Where there is a will, things come true. If the cauldron sinks the boat, the hundred and two Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu. ; The painstaking efforts of man and nature will not fail him, he will suffer hardships while sleeping on the firewood, and three thousand Yue Jia can swallow up Wu.

Now, he is struggling to survive.

The purpose of forbearing now is to defeat the Mengzhou Protectorate in one fell swoop in the future and drive the Han people out of his country!

Unfortunately, things backfired.

Just when he was hesitating whether to imitate the return of the king and lick the gall, a waiter wearing a mountain crown rushed in from outside, holding a wooden box high in his hand.

King Xunjia opened it and was dumbfounded.

This is a piece of information sent from Shixin County.

The letter was sent five days ago.

After all, there was no telegraph in Xunjia, and during the years when he arrived in Chang'an, telegraph machines had already been popularized in Guanzhong, so he didn't even learn the method of flying pigeons to send messages...

But it is not important.

The Han Dynasty was a dimensionality reduction attack.

In the known world, the means of communication in various countries either rely on people running to tell each other or riding horses.

Sunga is the latter.

Five days is the shortest time for Pegasus to arrive at Huashi City from Shixin County.

The content of the intelligence is actually very simple.

The Han army increased its troops by five thousand, and the vast majority of the soldiers were knights with horses and armor!
King Xunjia felt that the war seemed to be one step closer to him.

Combined with the series of actions of those Protestants, the fool also saw that the Han Kingdom was accumulating strength and preparing to go to war with the Xunjia Kingdom!
"Has this day finally come?"

King Xunjia murmured to himself, feeling a little lucky at the same time.

Fortunately, he successfully took over the entire Sunda Kingdom after killing his father, and also fortunately that he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to obtain an artifact from the Han Kingdom.

Dynamite pack!
This was originally what he used to mine.

Sungai is rich in products, including iron ore and coal mines!

After he has obtained the blast furnace iron-making technology of Han, as long as he can obtain a steady stream of minerals, Xunjia will get rid of the situation of importing iron in one fell swoop and achieve self-sufficiency!

Moreover, you can also seize the market share of Hanguo Ironware in neighboring countries through low prices!

But it is obvious that Han will not give him this opportunity!
King Sunga cheered up.

He decided to strike first!

This is a concept he learned in Han Dynasty.

For example, the Xiongnu, such as the Qiang people, these nomadic people sometimes did not have the idea of ​​​​fighting with the Han State, but the Han State felt that they were a threat, so they took the initiative to eliminate the border troubles!
If Han can do it, so can he!
Especially after he has this kind of artifact that can collapse mountains and rubble!
The previously indestructible cities of the Han people will be torn to pieces by explosives like tearing paper!
Although now is not the best time to start a war with Han, he doesn't have much to worry about!
Do what you want!

King Xunjia endured his exhaustion and stood up suddenly, preparing to summon his close generals to discuss a plan to start a war against Han!

Note [-]: While writing this paragraph, I suddenly remembered a joke from "Laughing Lin Guangji".

A man sent his young son to be a monk because of his son's life.The monk entertained him with wine, and the son even farted loudly, but the father was not aware that he was in great mourning.The monk said: "Farting is a common thing, why should I feel sad?" The father said: "I think my son will fart like this from now on, and he will never be able to do it again." (End of Chapter)
