The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 266

Not long after the Yue Navy came ashore, Fan Man knew the news, and he immediately sent Mona to fight.Fan Man's plan is to let Mona and the vanguard of the Yue State Navy come into contact with each other. If the opponent's strength is weak, then kill them directly. They were trapped, and then used fishing tactics to lure more Yue people, until finally they lured most of the Yue sailors into the trap.

Mona wanted to make a contribution in his heart, especially when he backed away as soon as he touched the opponent, but he never thought that this small group of Yue Guo Navy divisions were not only strong, but also super strong. By the time he found out that he had been tricked, the other party had already surrounded him.The number of the two sides is about the same, but the combat power of the other party is obviously not comparable to those of him. Although he brought the elite of his own country, facing these well-equipped, skilled swordsmanship, and tacit cooperation, they are still no match. In addition, within the time Mona was stunned, the opponent had already completed the encirclement, and quickly narrowed the encirclement smaller and smaller.

Winning a battle is of course in vain, and even luring the enemy has become out of reach. It seems that the only way to wait for him is to be wiped out.Mona regretted it for the first time, and his confidence in Fan Man was shaken.Of course, Fan Man's strategy was clever, but the other party was not an idiot either. They swallowed the bait without taking the bait.

Watching the clansmen who were slaughtered by his opponents like pigs and dogs fell down one by one, Mona was devastated. He has fought for so many years and has seen many cruel opponents, but killing people like this so neatly, and With such an indifferent expression, it was the first time he saw that these opponents wearing breastplates seemed to be killing chickens instead of killing people.

After hesitating for a moment, several clansmen died at the opponent's hands. Mona couldn't hold on for long, so he raised his hands and fell to the ground to surrender.

The battle was over soon, so fast that Zhou Yin couldn't react. These barbarians came aggressively. Why did they surrender before the third level of casualties? Isn't this fighting will too bad?He didn't even think about it. Although Mona had fought a lot of battles, Fan Man's guards were the toughest soldiers he saw. However, compared with the Destroying Front Battalion, Fan Man's guards were inferior in terms of equipment and killing skills. Not a grade.From the time when the two sides came into contact with each other, at least 200 people were knocked down by them. This kind of killing speed was unheard of, and Mona couldn't help but feel terrified.

Although Zhou Yin was a little regretful that he hadn't wielded his sword yet, the battle was over, but he also knew that the highest state was to win without fighting, and now was not the time to love fighting, after all, these barbarians were not real chickens, and if they were cornered, they would still fight , Desperately counterattack, will inevitably cause unnecessary casualties.

"Call that...that monkey over here." Zhou Yin pointed at Mona who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and hooked his fingers. Two strong soldiers walked over and kicked away the sword raised by Mona in both hands. One took him by the arm and dragged him to Zhou Yin.Mona is very well-behaved. As soon as he arrived in front of Zhou Yin, he hugged Zhou Yin's combat boots and kissed him several times.The sailors of the Yue State went to do as the Romans did, and they all put on leather sandals when they arrived in Funan.Mona directly kissed Zhou Yin's foot, which made him very uncomfortable. He kicked lightly, retracted his leg, rubbed it on his calf, and shouted unhappy: "Say, where did you come from? Where are you going, how many people are there, where is Fan Man's old thing..."

Mona looked at Zhou Yin blankly, but didn't understand a sentence.Zhou Yin talked triumphantly for a long time, only to find that there seemed to be something wrong with Mona's expression.He slapped his head, feeling a little regretful, none of them could speak the Yi language, and Qin Sai, who could speak the Yi language, was sent by him to monitor.After thinking about it, he didn't bother, and ordered people to escort Mona to the bay to meet Sun Shao. Sun Shao had several interpreters by his side.

"4 people?" After Sun Shao understood Mona's explanation, he gasped and remained silent for a long time.He looked at Mona, then at Xiahou Hui who was acting as a translator, and said with a dry mouth, "Could it be that you made a mistake in the translation?"

Xia Houhui also showed a look of horror on her small face. For the sake of prudence, she asked Mona in detail, and then nodded to Sun Shao affirmatively: "4 people, just a lot, and there are war elephants. There are more than 100 soldiers. Among them, there are 3 soldiers from the Funan Kingdom and 1 soldiers from the Kingdom.”

"Funan Kingdom actually conscripted more than 2 soldiers?" Sun Shao smiled wryly. It seems that his popular sentiment offensive was not as good as he imagined, but Fan Man set a trap for him, if he hadn't hit the rocks However, he was alert, and if he followed the advice of Yue Hai and others to go ashore and pursue them, Fan Man would definitely catch them all. Even if they broke out, the 1 people would suffer heavy losses.

What a sinister old guy, Sun Shao cursed secretly, rubbed his palms unconsciously, the palms were covered with sweat.

"Not only [-], but some of them are in Temu City." Xia Houhui reminded in a low voice: "It's a good thing that we didn't choose to attack the city at the beginning, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"You should say, fortunately, the Funan Navy has been wiped out, otherwise, this bay would be our burial place." Sun Shao stood up and walked back and forth in front of the inexplicable Mona several times, feeling very grateful.

Xia Houhui nodded with deep sympathy, walked to Sun Shao's side, and reminded softly: "My lord, what should we do now? How should we deal with this person?"

Sun Shao smiled, turned around, looked at Mona with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said kindly: "I am very happy that you can turn your back on the dark and turn to the bright. If you have any conditions, you can mention them now. I I dare not say how good life will be for you, but I can guarantee that you will definitely live better than under Fan Man's hands."

Xia Houhui immediately translated it.When Mona heard this, he kowtowed happily. He licked his lips for a while, and then made a few requests cautiously. After Sun Shao considered for a moment, he nodded and agreed.Mona's request is actually not high. He knows that he is now a prisoner of war, and he doesn't have much qualifications to make demands. He is already very satisfied that he can save his life and live no worse than under Fan Man.

Mona went down contentedly, and Sun Shao immediately summoned Yue Hai and the others, and informed them of the news he had just received. After hearing this, Yue Hai and the others turned pale with shock, looked at each other, and were overjoyed.When Sun Shao disagreed with them going ashore to pursue them, they still felt that Sun Shao was too timid. Now it seems that it is not unreasonable for Sun Shao to always win and never lose. He has an innate sense of danger.

"What now?" Dun Wu asked.

"It doesn't matter." Sun Shao had calmed down, and he smiled calmly: "Although Fan Man has 4 people, he has no navy and cannot enter the water to attack our army. Therefore, he can only hope to lure our army ashore. Now we If you already know his details, would you still be fooled by him? Not to mention that he only has 4 people, even if he has 10 people, he can only stand on the beach and look at us." He glanced at everyone proudly: "Do the Funan people still have strong crossbows and Thunderbolt chariots that are beyond the range of our army?"

Yue Hai and the others smiled, and their nervous mood relaxed a little.

"Order Zhou Yin, be careful. Once a large number of enemy troops attack, immediately retreat to the sea and rely on our warships to counterattack. Everyone should also be careful. If the situation is not right, immediately retreat to the ship."

"Here." Everyone agreed and went to prepare separately.After Zhou Yin received the order, he couldn't help but gasped. Fortunately, Sun Shao ordered him not to chase for five miles. If he had to keep chasing him according to his own wish, he would definitely not be able to come back this time.

……

Fan Man anxiously looked at the eastern sky. Mona was gone forever, and there was no more news, which was beyond his expectation.Mona brought 1000 people there, even if they were defeated, it wouldn't be impossible to send back any news.

What happened?Could it be that they were ambushed by the Yue people and the whole army was wiped out?
Fan Man was hesitant. According to the news sent back by the scouts earlier, only about 1000 people from the Yue State Navy came ashore, but if they can quickly deal with Mona quietly, the number of opponents must be at least 3000, and it may even be More than 5000 people.It is normal for scouts to inquire about information on the battlefield to make mistakes, as long as they are human, they may make mistakes.Unexpected situations often happen, and this is the time to test the ability of a leader.

If 5000 people from the other side come ashore, should they pounce on them and eat them, or continue to wait?Fan Man thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was better to continue to wait. The movement of the whole army not only had to give up the chosen position, but also the movement would be very loud.

In the middle of the night, Fan Man finally received the news that Mona had been captured. He was stunned for a long time, frustrated and speechless for a long time.He knew Mona's ability. Although it couldn't compare with the army he personally led, he was still quite powerful among the vassal states. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been allowed to act as a bait. Annihilated, this situation took him by surprise.

The capture of Mona not only made the trap he set up come to nothing, but also exposed his strength.Along the way, he tried his best to hide his strength, hoping to lure Sun Shao in and annihilate him. Now that Sun Shao has captured Mona, he must know the situation. Can he still come?

Fan Man finally decided to ask his trusted general Ruan Wu to stay on the ground with 2000 people, especially to leave a large number of scouts. Thinking that there is still an ambush here, if the opponent forces an attack, then he should retreat to avoid unnecessary casualties. He rushed to Jinchen with the main force himself. It is only three hundred miles away from Jinchen. As long as Ruan Wu can hold Sun Shao here Today, he has enough time to cooperate with Fan Jun to defeat Cui Qian and stabilize Jin Chenguo.Of course, even if Ruan Wu was not kept, it would take about ten days for Sun Shao to escape from Meng Ang Bay. Keeping Ruan Wu was just to increase insurance.

Fan Man glanced regretfully at the direction of Meng Ang Bay for the last time, and led the army away quietly.They walked very secretly. The nearby mountains and forests were places where Fan Man had fought countless times. He was familiar with the mountains and rivers here, just like he was familiar with the palm of his hand. He walked away silently, five days later, he arrived at a place fifty miles away from Jin Chen, Fan Jun who received the news immediately came to meet him, and Jin Chen Wang Wu Jiu came with him.

As soon as Wu Jiu saw Fan Man, his forehead was sweating non-stop. In front of the King of Funan, who had traveled across the sea for more than [-] years, Wu Jiu, who had always boasted of being shrewd, did not dare to show off his cleverness. It is very difficult for this King of Funan to be effective, the best way is to be honest.

"You did a good job." Fan Man was a little tired, and the continuous march made him a little overwhelmed. The dizziness that used to only happen occasionally has now become the norm, and he faints twice a day.However, in front of Wu Jiu, he still behaved calmly: "Do the people of Yue know that you are here?"

"I know. I told them that I came to spy on the king's military situation. They didn't doubt me." Wu Jiu raised his arm, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tried his best to make his smile look honest: "That one of them The young envoy is very insidious, he tricked General Fan into making a move, and then stabbed General Fan while General Fan was preparing, I dare not not tell him about such a big matter, otherwise he will definitely find out."

"Very good." Fan Man nodded, the majesty of the king made him look very majestic, he waved his hand, not going to talk to Wu Jiu, on the one hand, he kept the sense of mystery as usual, on the other hand, he didn't want Wu Jiu to find out about him Weakness, Wu Jiu's shrewdness is clear to him, if Wu Jiu finds out that he is very weak now, he will definitely have doubts about whether Funan can still defeat Yue.He said indisputably: "You step back first, we have to discuss how to deal with the Yue people, and we will inform you when the time comes."

"Yes." Wu Jiu knelt down, wanted to hug Fan Man's foot and kiss it according to the rules, Fan Man hesitated for a moment, but agreed.Wu Jiu gave a kiss and walked out without raising his head.It wasn't until he was a dozen steps away from the big tent that he straightened up and let out a long breath.Thinking back to the pressure that Fan Man put on him just now, he sighed silently. The Yue people are more polite. After all, it is because of the state of etiquette. There is no sign of forcing him now.

Wu Jiu stood outside waiting respectfully, but his heart was churning endlessly.From the brief contact just now, Wu Jiu discovered Fan Man's weakness. The mighty Funan King was a bit unusual this time, especially his legs seemed to be shaking all the time. Although the trembling was very slight, it was no longer the same There is a sense of solidity that seems to be born with the earth, which makes Wu Jiu hesitate.He knew that Funan Kingdom was so powerful because of Fan Man alone. He knew of Fan Man's two sons. Both of these two people have inherited some of Fan Man's advantages, but neither of them can catch up with Fan Man. Once Fan Man died, the mighty Funan Kingdom might fall apart.

As a vassal state of Funan, Jin Chen must consider his own future. If Funan has a chance of winning, he will of course be a "loyal minister", but if Funan may not be protected, he cannot turn back without hesitation.

"You have to be on guard against Wu Jiu." As soon as Wu Jiu got out of the big tent, Fan Man's straight waist relaxed. He pointed to Fan Jun and said something, but he felt a little short of breath. One sound.Fan Jun was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to help him, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you sick?"

"It's not that I'm sick, it's that I'm old." Fan Man smiled wryly: "After fighting for so many years, I have a lot of old injuries. This time I worked hard to set up a game, but it didn't work. Can't stop."

Fan Jun lowered his head, Fan Man's plan was seamless, but even so, it didn't work, so I'm afraid we can't comment on it with a battle of wits.The Fan family dynasty was taken from the Hun family. Although it has been 30 years, they have always felt a little uneasy.They believe in Brahmanism, and they are born with awe of the gods. If they do something wrong, they will always feel a little uneasy.It has been going well before, and they think that the gods are blessing them. Once something goes wrong, they will naturally wonder if the gods have given up on them.

"It has nothing to do with God's will." Fan Man seemed to see Fan Jun's worry, he curled his lips and gasped, "It was a conspiracy."

"Conspiracy?" Fan Jun was taken aback, not understanding what Fan Man said.Speaking of people's strategy, is there anyone whose strategy can surpass the King of Funan in front of him?He is the smartest person Fan Jun has ever met. He has fought all his life and rarely lost.

"Yes." Fan Man nodded, her eyes were a little empty, she seemed to be saying to Fan Jun, and she seemed to be talking to herself: "I should have thought a long time ago that a young man who has been oppressed can survive in four or five years." How could it be possible for him to be an ordinary person. Unfortunately, I have never paid attention to him, and I have always regarded him as a young man, making the mistake of underestimating the enemy. This time in Meng'ang Bay, I used the shipwreck With the waterway blocked, I thought he would go ashore to pursue it. With his strength, he had a great chance, but he didn't do that. He only sent 1000 people ashore to chase it for five miles, five miles..." Fan Man Lian shook her head, looked back at Fan Jun: "Tell me, if you were in this situation, would you just chase five miles?"

Fan Jun pondered for a moment, then shook his head. If he encountered such a situation, he would definitely go ashore and chase after him. The number of the two sides was about the same, and the strength of the other side still had the upper hand. The boat was blocked again. Why didn't he catch up and fight?This fell right into Fan Man's trap.

"I dare say, whether it's you, Jin Sheng, Ah Chang, or the dead Ah Jan, they will all catch up." Fan Man showed a helpless smile: "But the King of Yue didn't chase after him. The trap suddenly lost its effect."

Fan Jun's heart was heavy, he felt Fan Man's pressure.

"I came to Jinchen this time mainly to kill the Yue King, but now the plan has failed. We can only try to keep Jinchen and reopen the road to the south." Fan Man sighed for a long time: "Ah Jun, Do you have any plans?"

Fan Junqiang smiled, and was about to say something modest, but Fan Man reached out and pressed his hand, staring into his eyes: "Ah Jun, you know, although you and Ah Zhan are not my sons, but I have always kept my son You treat him the same way as Jin Sheng and Ah Chang. In front of me, you should stop talking about those courteous words between the monarch and his ministers."

Fan Jun was a little choked up. Fan Man's kindness to these generals was always in their hearts. Without Fan Man, they would not be as prosperous as they are now.The relationship between them is indeed different from the ordinary relationship between monarchs and ministers, and there is more family affection.

"Your Majesty, how dare I hide something in front of your Majesty? I have made a plan. Wu Jiu will lure Cui Qian ashore, and then I will cooperate with Wu Jiu to kill Cui Qian and others, seize their warship, and rebuild it." Funan navy. With the navy, we will be able to compete with Yue again on the sea, and the southern countries will hear the good news from the king, and only need one envoy to return to my subordinates in Funan."

"Well, very good." Fan Man nodded and said: "It's just that Wu Jiu is not very reliable. You'd better replace your own people, open the city gates when necessary, and even assassinate Cui Qian and others. No matter how poisonous the snake , without the head, it becomes a rotten leather rope. No matter how fierce the tiger is, without the head, it becomes a chair cushion. The Yue people are very skilled in this application, and the defense must be very strict. You must be careful when doing it. If you don’t It is better not to send the right manpower."

Fan Jun nodded heavily: "Yes, I have already thought about it, and prepared thirty crossbowmen for this purpose, each with ten blood-sealed throat arrows, to ensure that as long as the surname Cui breaks a little bit of skin, he will die. Now that the king is here, I am going to hand over the army to the king, and I am lurking in the city with my own guards..."

"No." Before Fan Jun could finish his sentence, Fan Man interrupted him: "You are the general who leads the army, you can't be an assassin, it doesn't matter if the assassin fails, we still have an army, but if you have something Loss, even if there is a large army, who will lead it? There is a saying among the Han people that it is easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to find a general. In my heart, you are not an assassin, but a general who wants to lead an army of tens of thousands. Although your martial arts are very good."

"Your Majesty..." Fan Jun was so excited that he was speechless, hugging Fan Man's leg and crying bitterly.

"Ah Jun, don't cry." Fan Man patted Fan Jun on the back and said with emotion: "Good man, don't shed tears when you bleed. We want to make the people of Yue cry, not cry ourselves. Get up and wipe away your tears. We Let's set another trap, this time, I want to use Cui Qian as bait, and I want to see if the King of Yue will fall for it."

"Using Cui Qian as bait?" Fan Jun rolled his eyes and suddenly realized: "Using Dunxun as a trap?"

"That's right." Fan Man sneered, "No matter how many schemes you have, they are always vulnerable to absolute strength. No matter how powerful the Yue people are, there are less than 2 people, and we have more than 4 people here. I don't believe that we can't catch that cunning King of Yue. Cui Qian is just a small fish, what we want to catch is the big fish of King Yue, and only by catching him can we, Funan, survive and return to the previous peace."

Fan Man talked too much, she was out of breath, and her chest heaved violently. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I can't drink a glass of wine with his head, I won't die with peace."
