Chapter 861 Fighting for hegemony is not an easy job
Chapter 861: Fighting for dominance is not a simple job (second update)
"I don't know where we will go?"
After Lu Xun sat down, Kim Sun-sung next to him asked carefully. As Kim Sun-sung finished speaking, many civil and military officials raised their ears.
Where will they go?
In their hearts, of course, they wanted to enthrone Jin Shan as the king of the country like the Han emperors in history and continue to guard Chen Han.
However, this team that claimed to be the Chu *** team told them that they were definitely different from those of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, they were very nervous.
"There is no precedent for this Chu State. Because most of the enemies of Chu State were destroyed in the past. The first person to surrender to the whole country like the king."
Lu Xun was really embarrassed when he heard this and said.
"hiss."
It turns out that they are butchers, but they are all destroyed. So far, there is no precedent for the surrender of the whole country.
Both Kim Sun-sung and the civil and military officials took a breath. At the same time, they were even more grateful that they surrendered and became the first person to surrender.
Fortunately, Kim Sun-sung felt worried about his future again. According to Lu Xun's words, he would definitely not be able to continue to be the king of the country in the future.
But where to go?
"Then?" Kim Sun-sung asked with a nervous look on his face.
Lu Xun pondered for a moment when he heard this, then said, "I actually have no right to ask about your placement, and I have to be the master of Chu. But one thing is certain, you can no longer stay in Sanhan. Flying across the sea, living in Chu, and learning the etiquette and culture of the Han people. However, I guess Chu Jun will be granted the title of the king as a marquis, and the number of fiefs is hard to say."
It is certain to migrate these royal powerful people, just like Lu Xun massacred thirty cities. On the one hand, he opened up land, and on the other hand, he was to reward soldiers and women.
The most important thing is to attack the culture of the Three Hans. Just like the Chu State, culture is generally held in the hands of the powerful and powerful. Kill all the powerful and powerful or migrate away.
It is conducive to the cultural invasion of Chu State. A group of people in Chu State migrated into it, allowing the remaining people of the Three Hans to merge with the Chu people. To put it simply, it was annexed.
Therefore, it is impossible for Kim Sun-sung to live in Chenhan again.
Jin Shancheng was nervous when he heard this, but he was relieved. He was nervous that he wanted Yang Fan to go to Chu State. He was relieved that he listened to Lu Xun's words and let him know that the king of Chu State seemed not so strict with the surrendered person.
It's great to be able to be granted the title of Marquis.
Since Jin Shancheng knew about the Han Dynasty, he naturally knew about the marquis. He had a noble status, had a fief, and had no worries in his life.
"Chu Jun is kind." Kim Sun-sung couldn't help but raise his fist.
Lu Xun nodded, then said, "You are obedient people, and since you are the ministers of our State of Chu. I will not ask about your property. You can take it away. However, our State of Chu will take 70% of the gold and silver in the treasury as a military posture."
"Reasonable, reasonable."
Kim Sun-sung was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. He thought that everything in the treasury was not destined to be with him, but he didn't expect that there would be 30% left.
In this way, even if he went to Chu State, he would not have to live by his fiefdom alone.
The ministers in the hall smiled when they heard that their property could be kept.
When a big country invades a small country, the most important thing is to appease the powerful and powerful people of the original country and quickly stabilize the local area. And the words of Lu Xun and Jin Shancheng achieved this effect.
Logically speaking, Lu Xun should have been stationed for a few more days. However, Lu Meng in front was still leading an army of 20,000 to confront Gongsun Kang. He had to hurry back and support Lu Meng.
However, Lu Xun is not without means.
After occupying Chenhan King City for a day, he moved 70% of the property of the treasury, and then took Kim Sun-sung and several of Kim Sun-sung's sons. Other important ministers of other countries were taken away by Lu Xun.
It is a simple restriction that Chen Han dares not rebel again.
Because it was necessary to massacre and occupy it when going south. So it took Lu Xun for more than twenty days, but it didn't take him north. Lu Xun only took three days to return to Lelang.
Nowadays, Lelang has a tendency to be a rear base. A large number of materials, grains, etc. plundered from all over the place are placed here.
Continuous supply of troops ahead to fight.
Therefore, after returning to Lelang, Lu Xun prepared two thousand of the most loyal Chu troops to camp in Lelang, and then he led an army of 40,000 to the Yalu River.
The Yalu River was the border river between China and North Korea in later generations. However, there was no such statement in this era. It is now an important barrier to resist the Chu army's cavalry.
There were beacon towers that were cast on the Yalu River. As long as Gongsun Kang crossed the river from wherever he could cross the river, the Chu army could quickly get news and rush over to block it.
If Kou Feng heard this news, he would definitely sigh. This is the pleasure of taking the lead. In history, Emperor Yang of Sui fought three times and his country was destroyed. Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin was also defeated.
Now he not only occupied the Yalu River, but also annexed the Korean Peninsula. In addition, the Yalu River also serves as an important barrier to resist Gongsun Kang, the Han power.
After Lu Xun arrived near the Yalu River, he divided the army into four or five parts, stationed at one point, and took charge of the defense of the Yalu River.
He himself led 5,000 elite soldiers to the area where Lu Meng was stationed.
Outside the camp gate, Lu Meng came out to greet him. After the two of them greeted each other for a while, Lu Meng asked, "What's wrong with the three Hans?"
"It's destroyed. As long as the emperor sends a governor and more than a hundred officials come over, it will be another state. In addition, the army has almost been tempered." Lu Xun smiled slightly and said.
"That's good." Lu Meng also smiled.
Immediately, Lu Xun asked, "Where is Gongsun Kang?"
"He has been in the Yalu River for more than ten days. He has organized a large army to cross the river several times, but I have stopped him. I guess he is in a bad mood now." Lu Meng laughed and said with a smile when he heard this.
"Our army has been condensed, and the supplies and food are sufficient. There is no force in the rear, so he cannot defeat it. This area is destined to be a state of our Chu State." Lu Xun smiled when he heard this.
…………………………
The other side of the Yalu River.
The Yan State had 80,000 horse and infantry troops stationed here and built a very wide military camp. But no matter how broad the military camp was, it could not hide the breath of decay.
Inside the Central Army's tent.
Only Gongsun Kang, his face was very bleak.
"Oh." Gongsun Kang sighed. He knew that the land on the other side of the Yalu River could not be taken back. The Chu State built a beacon tower, and his cavalry could not cross it.
The forces of the four or five counties that the Gongsun clan had worked hard to establish collapsed in front of the Chu army. Now he only has one county in Liaodong and half of Xuantu's county.
But there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses.
It's a military force.
Gongsun Kang had already foresaw the bleak end of their Gongsun family.
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao's letter has arrived." A voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Come in." Gongsun Kang took a deep breath and said. Although it had already predicted decline, Gongsun Kang still had to struggle for a while, and the ants were still alive.
Now, relying on the power of the Cao family, it seems that it can fight against the Chu State. After all, the Chu State occupied Liaodong and established a powerful forward base, which was definitely not something Cao Cao was willing to see.
With Gongsun Kang's order, a minor official walked in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. Then the minor official placed the bamboo slips on the desk in front of Gongsun Kang and retreated.
Gongsun Kang opened the letter, glanced at it, a wry smile appeared on his face, and shook his head and said, "Now, even if you don't ask for my shipbuilding skills, I will give it to you."
This is a letter from Cao Cao to ask for warship technology. Gongsun Kang's current naval army has been robbed, and it is difficult for Liaodong to build a powerful naval army.
Without naval forces, you cannot defend against the aggressive maritime forces of Chu.
Gongsun Kang knew that he could only rely on Cao Cao now. Even in terms of food, he also had to rely on Cao Cao's supplies.
After a bitter smile, Gongsun Kang began to reply. He wrote down the situation in detail about the three Han areas, not only his words were sincere, but his attitude was also very low.
When Gongsun Kang was ambitious to establish Yan State, he had the ambition to compete with Cao for the Central Plains. But now, Gongsun Kang knew that he had been eliminated.
After writing this letter, Gongsun Kang sent someone to send it out.
"Although my family is almost destroyed, I still have to live this life." Faced with the empty tent, Gongsun Kang sighed.
He now knows that he is wrong, and he is not able to do such a job as fighting for dominance in the world.

Yecheng.
After Lu Xun and Lu Meng robbed, the prosperity of Yecheng was still there. But the scenery was gone.
No matter how much the capital is, it cannot be relieved, let alone the glory or even the decline.
Even after Cao Cao returned to his army, he worked hard to recover, but he could not stop this decline.
Cao Cao faced not only the mess in Yecheng, but also some problems with his son. His sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and his legitimate son Cao Xiong, were either killed or arrested.
Now he has few adult sons, and the only legitimate son is Cao Zhang.
Because his wife Bian was sick and very ill. For this reason, Cao Cao sent someone to the north and summoned Cao Zhang back. Everything hurt Cao Cao.
It was Cao Cao himself, as strong as a stone. Not only did his body recover quickly, but his spirit began to recover. Now Cao Cao can eat and sleep, and his complexion is relatively good.
This day, early morning.
Cao Cao had a meal in the study and millet porridge, which was very nourishing. However, Cao Cao was destined to accept another blow today.
As soon as he used the porridge halfway, an official walked in from outside and bent over and reported, "Judge, Gongsun Kang's reply."
"Come here." Cao Cao nodded, put down the millet porridge, and reached out to pick it up.
The official obediently walked over and handed the bamboo slips to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao originally opened the bamboo slips with a relaxed mood, but after reading the contents inside, his expression changed drastically.
"This navy is really powerful. Unexpectedly, Gongsun's decades of foundation have ended." Cao Cao shouted, his face as if dripping with water.
If the Chu State occupied Liaodong and attacked the north and south, how could he survive?
At this moment, Cao Cao knew that it was urgent to build a navy army. Otherwise, danger would be imminent.
