Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 629: Target, the Sea of ​​Stars

"Open the city gate!"

In Xiangping City, Gongsun Gong gave orders in a loud voice.

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and Xing Daorong was the first to enter the city.

Gongsun Gong noticed that those unruly Wuhuan and Xianbei generals bowed their heads slightly to show respect when Xing Daorong passed by.

A Wuhuan captain even dismounted from his horse and held the stirrup for Xing Daorong.

And the Xianbei woman who led the group...

He looked like a Xianbei leader and was extremely respectful to Xing Daorong.

It seems that... this Xing Daorong must be extremely powerful!
Gongsun Gong went forward with a proper smile on his face, saying in his heart, "General Xing, you have come a long way, thank you for your hard work."

Xing Daorong dismounted from his horse with a clean and neat movement: "You are too polite, Lord Commander Gongsun."

Gongsun Gong felt that Xing Daorong's voice was deep and powerful.

"I am bringing these Wuhuan and Xianbei brothers with me today to leave from Daifang County and annihilate the Yamatai Kingdom."

! !
Destroy the country?

Gongsun Gong was shocked when he heard this.

To be honest, when he heard that Xing Daorong's army was coming, he thought in his heart that they might be coming for him.

But he thought that he had done nothing wrong after all. The title of Liaodong Prefect was awarded to him by Liu Xie. Even if Liu Bei inherited the throne, he would not do anything to him because of his reputation for benevolence.

In addition to Xing Daorong's words, Gongsun Gong noticed that when Xing Daorong spoke, the foreign generals listened attentively, as if they were afraid of missing a word.

One Xianbei leader even echoed in stiff Chinese: "General Xing is right, we all listen to General Xing."

Gongsun Gong had mixed feelings. In all these years, no one had ever been able to tame the Wuhuan and Xianbei so well.

It seems that the famous Xing Daorong is indeed extremely capable.

At that moment, Gongsun Gong led Xing Daorong in while arranging a place for the army to be stationed.

His body was slightly bent, looking quite respectful.

But he said, "General... His Majesty sent you here with the army just to attack Yamatai?"

Gongsun Gong asked, feeling more at ease.

Indeed...if you want to attack Yamatai, you really have to go from this end.

As mentioned before, in the ninth year of Jian'an, Gongsun Kang divided the southern half of the eighteen cities of Lelang County and the wasteland south of Tunyou County into Daifang County.

This place is the North Korean region.

Crossing the sea from Korea, you will arrive at Yamatai.

Although it is called crossing the sea, the distance is actually not far.

With current technology, you can go there by boat.

only…

This ship can only carry a hundred or so people, but how can an army of 30,000 people cross the sea?

Gongsun Gong asked: "General...Is it possible that Your Majesty doesn't know how to get to Yamatai?"

"Not to mention that Daifang County is a wild place, even if we go through Daifang County... it's not easy to go!"

Gongsun Gong did not seem to support the use of military force against Yamatai.

That's exactly what happened.

Yamatai had close contacts with Gongsun clan, and even called it the King of Yan.

Naturally, they were unwilling to see the Han Dynasty use military force against Yamatai.

Besides...

There is no reason for this military action!

They didn't provoke you. Now that the world has just been unified, why did Your Majesty think of using troops against Yamatai? This matter made Gongsun Gong a little confused.

He could never have imagined that Xing Daorong turned towards Yamatai purely because he was unlucky.

In order to completely integrate Wuhuan and Xianbei, he needed a new opponent, and this opponent... was the Yamatai Kingdom!

...

Although I was wondering why they suddenly attacked Yamatai, I still had to entertain them.

On that day, Gongsun Gong's mansion was brightly lit and the sound of stringed instruments was melodious.

In the center of the hall, there was a long carved mahogany table filled with delicacies and the aroma of wine.

Gongsun Gong was wearing a brocade robe, smiling, and raised his glass to greet everyone.

During the banquet, Xing Daorong sat at the head of the guest seats, with a calm expression and sharp eyes.

Princess Buri was dressed in gorgeous clothes with beautiful features, while Wuyan was dressed in military uniform with a solemn expression.

After three rounds of drinking, Xing Daorong slowly put down his glass, swept his eyes over everyone, and finally landed on Gongsun Gong. He smiled slightly and said, "General Gongsun has made outstanding contributions in guarding Liaodong. His Majesty often mentions him and praises his loyalty and talent."

Gongsun Gong was reassured upon hearing this.

This was exactly what he wanted to hear.

In fact, when Xing Daorong came here in such a strong manner, what worried him most was definitely his own position.

Liu Bei's words finally put his mind at ease with the thing that worried him the most.

He immediately bowed his hands and said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am only doing my duty faithfully and I dare not take credit for it."

Xing Daorong nodded slightly, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and continued: "However, recently, Your Majesty heard that there is a country outside the East China Sea, named Yamatai, whose people are fierce and do not respect etiquette and laws, and act brutally, which is worrying."

When he said this, his tone paused slightly, and his eyes glanced at Wu Yan and Princess Buri vaguely, as if observing their reactions.

Naturally, the two of them had no expression on their faces and were only focused on eating and drinking.

He looked as if he was going to hit whatever Xing Daorong pointed at, and didn't care about anything else.

Gongsun Gong frowned slightly.

He pondered and said, "Yamatai? I have also heard of it. Its people are indeed extremely fierce and unyielding."

"But... it's beyond my reach, I'm afraid it's difficult to persuade them."

In fact, what Gongsun Gong was thinking about was the customs of the Yamatai people. What did that have to do with the Han Dynasty!
But I certainly couldn't say this, I could only think about it in my heart.

Xing Daorong nodded, his tone getting heavier: "That's not the case. Your Majesty believes that the Central Plains is righteous and honest, which is the right way in the world. If the Yamatai Kingdom is allowed to run rampant like this, it may damage the dignity of the Celestial Empire."

"Therefore, Your Majesty intends to send troops to conquer them, firstly to intimidate the barbarians, and secondly to spread etiquette and morality and educate their people."

What kind of excuse is this!
"It damages the dignity of the Celestial Empire..."

Is this the right reason for war?
Gongsun Gong was confused for a moment and didn't know how to respond, but he saw the Xianbei princess on the other side taking over the conversation.

He said softly, "General Xing is right. If the barbarians are not educated, they will eventually become a disaster."

Gongsun Gong was even more speechless when he heard this.

You are a barbarian yourself, so calling others barbarians is really weird!
Look at the Wuhuan man next to him. His hand holding the cup tightened slightly, as if he was thinking.

This is the normal reaction!
Seeing this, Xing Daorong smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "Your Majesty has already decided on this matter, so please do not say more. At today's banquet, we will not talk about state affairs, but only about love and romance. Come, everyone, drink this cup together!"

Upon hearing this, although everyone had their own thoughts, they all raised their glasses in response, and the atmosphere at the table became lively again.

But in this lively atmosphere, there are naturally people with heavy thoughts.

More than that, one can also feel the tyranny of Xing Daorong and Liu Bei.

Using only such an excuse, he was threatening to destroy the country. If this matter spread out, the reputation of the Han Dynasty would naturally become synonymous with tyranny and cruelty.

but…

How could the unified Central Plains dynasty care about the eyes of a few small countries around it?
