Chapter 709

When Gongsun Dan heard that a group of Liang's army had only 3,500 to 4,000 soldiers and horses, he asked with a doubt again: "Brother Xu, I doubt the combat effectiveness of the Liang army for my brother. It would be very difficult for you two legions to pacify the two counties, but you have to go to the border of the Sanhan area. There are fewer soldiers and horses. You should know that since the time of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the Central Plains court has had many ideas about the Three Hans, but it has been delayed in replacing them with the kingship. Why? These Korean and Japanese are not easy to conquer. At most, they are subject to the control of our counties on the surface, but it is a bit difficult to directly organize them into the county. It is really so easy. So many emperors of the previous dynasty had done this matter long ago."

Xu Rong laughed and said, "We Liang army soldiers can use one as a hundred uses. Moreover, now our Daliang is not as good as the Qin and Han dynasties, and we have developed navigation techniques. This can provide abundant support for the front line through the sea. Unlike in the past, we can only conduct southern expeditions from the bitter and cold Liaodong. Finally, we can recruit troops on the spot in the four counties of Liaodong. So brothers, don't worry. Our Liang army two legions are enough to complete this matter."

When Gongsun Dan stroked his beard and disagreed, he ordered his troops to come to the palace to report: "Reporting to the prefect, the prefect, the founding king sent someone to send a message, saying that the prefect said that the Wei army came to attack but had not happened for a long time, so the agreement was terminated."

Gongsun Dan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said indifferently: "Since that's the case, just terminate the contract. In addition, he took out 500 taels of gold ingots and brought them back to King Qiushou, and brought a message to King Qiushou. This time I thanked him and gave him five hundred golds to express my gratitude. Since then, the two of them have not owed each other, and went their own way on Yangguan Avenue."

Gongsun Dan said this, which was actually for Xu Rong to listen to, and at the same time he also left himself clear. Because since Xu Rong was sent by Feng Yu to pacify the leader and conquer the three Hans, he would sooner or later fight with Baekje.

After the army left, Xu Rong asked, "What country is this Baekje country? What kind of person is King Qiushou?"

Gongsun Dan said nonsense: "Hey, this Baekje country is not a country. In fact, it is a tribal clan that occupies several cities, similar to the ancient square states of the pre-Zhou period. It belongs to one of the fifty-four countries of Mahan, but it is different from other Mahan tribes. Because his royal family and nobles were from Fuyu, they went south more than two hundred years ago and gained a foothold here. First, the country's name was Shiji, and then conquered several Mahan native tribes, and their wings gradually grew, so they changed the country's name to Baekje. This Qiushou King is their current king Fuyu Qiushou. However, they are the largest country among the fifty-four countries of Mahan, and the country with the most military and horse wealth."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "According to the etiquette, these Han Yi established a country and became kings, and should be granted permission and enthronement from the emperor, otherwise it would be an act of usurpation and rebellion. However, they would not have to worry about this in the future, because all the areas of the Three Hans will be governed by Daliang as county magistrates. However, their such an usurpation is the reason for our Daliang Tianjun to conquer them in the future."

When Gongsun Dan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What will Brother Xu plan to do?"

Xu Rong was silent for a moment and replied: "The thing in front of him is to pursue the remnants of the puppet Wei army and conquer Nanxin City. A few days later, Cao Chong and Guo Jia's army would cross the sea, and the second legion sent by the emperor would also come with him. Then we first pacify the two counties of Dafang Lelang, integrate the troops, and then carry out the three Han dynasties." Speaking of this, Xu Rong thought of another thing and asked Gongsun Dan: "I don't know the current population of Dafang Lelang County, which is about the Han population, which is closely related to our future expansion of military recruitment. Because only they are truly reliable and useful people."

Gongsun Dan pondered for a few moments and said, "If you don't look at the sea route, there are Lelang County in the Dianfang and Lelang County, which are farther away from the Central Plains than Liaodong and Xuantu County. However, due to years of wars and chaos, especially in the early years, the attacks and encroachments of the surrounding Dongyi Hu, the Han people lost a large population, leaving only a few. Many of these lost people came to Lelang in the Dianfang, so the Han people here have a relatively large population than Liaodong and Xuantu. The total population can account for 40%, about 20,000 households and nearly 100,000. The remaining 60% of the population also have a small number of Japanese people in addition to the Dongyi Hu."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Dan seemed to suddenly think of something and continued: "But Brother Xu, if you think the Han people are reliable, then some countries in Chenhan, Benhan and Han can also be used."

"How can I explain this?"

"Because some tribes of these two Koreans were also formed by immigrants from Middle-earth, not natives of the Korean and Yi. Many of the Chen and Han people were descendants of refugees who escaped from the Qin Dynasty's hard labor and exile there. Therefore, although they are not Han people, their language is similar to us, but they have a lot of Qin accents. As for Bianhan, let alone. Many people are even migrant Han people from Xu Yang for two or three hundred years."

Xu Rong laughed and said, "It's great. In this way, you will be more confident in completing the emperor's edict." The two of them talked to Yin Chang again, and they went back to their room to wash and fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Xu Rong was still sleeping and vaguely heard the sound of war drums and trumpets outside the city. In addition to this mansion, there were also noisy footsteps and shouts. Xu Rong was shocked and sweated. After all, Gongsun Dan was just an enemy general who had just surrendered to Daliang, and he was only a "elementary school classmate" and had not seen him for more than ten years. He should not have been fully trusted. If Gongsun Dan had really thought about it, Xu Rong and the thousands of soldiers under his command would definitely be doomed.

Xu Rong hurriedly jumped up from the bed with a carp and finished wearing it as quickly as possible. While carrying a spear, he rushed out and shouted loudly: "Where are the personal soldiers? What happened outside?"

At this time, two personal soldiers rushed over and clasped their fists to Xu Rong and said, "Report to General, we have just left the mansion to check the situation. It turns out that an enemy is attacking outside the city."

After hearing this, Xu Rong thought carefully. If Gongsun Dan really wanted to harm him, it would be the best time to do something when he was drunk last night, so why did he let him sleep well for a night? So he threw his worries just now out of the sky.

Xu Rong walked up to the city wall with a long spear and striding forward. Gongsun Dan had already been here, and was protruding his head to shout and talking to the people under the city. He also looked down and found that the army under the city did not have a uniform number clothes, and was dressed strangely, and was dressed non-Middle Earth people. Most of the generals and cavalry riding horses seemed to be dressed by the people of Fuyu. The clothes and armor of the infantrymen were in a different style.

Gongsun Dan beside him had already shouted: "King Qiushou, why are you treacherous and come to my city of Liekou!"

Under the city, a strong man from Fuyu, riding a tall horse, wearing fur and armor, replied lazily: "What do you believe and what is your righteousness? Don't forget that we terminated the alliance yesterday. The five hundred gold you gave is the reward that should be given to me. We are not owed each other."

Gongsun Dan was furious and said, "That wouldn't be like turning against others and refuse to recognize others. He turned around and sent troops to attack my city."
