Chapter 202 Planning

Fanyu, the flag of Zhou had been raised at the top of the city. A few days ago, the general of the Zhou army, Murong Sanzang, led his troops to the city of Fanyu. Wang Shan, the son of the great governor of Chen, was accompanied by Wang Shan. Seeing this, the general guarding the city knew that the situation was going, he opened the door to surrender.

At this point, the marching of the Lingnan Road of Zhouguo completed the first phase of the goal: to occupy Guangzhou Prefecture and Zhifanyu.

From Huangzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River, we headed south to Guangzhou, Lingnan. The distance of Route 6 was over 2,000 miles, and it took nearly five months. Finally, before the arrival of summer, we successfully entered our final destination: Guangzhou Zhou Zhifanyu.

In the official office, the marshal of the Lingnan Road marshal Shi Tridana was busy. He led a group of assistant officials to count the household registration, fields and other files in Guangzhou, and then immediately wrote the memorial to report the victory to Yecheng.

Of course, to win the victory, the Lingnan Road march had already occupied Fanyu, which is the essence of Lingnan. The "one of the nine major metropolises in the world" recorded by Taishi Gong in the Records of the Grand Historian. If the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom was not promoted widely, how could it be worthy of Cui Dana's "working hard work"?

As the chief of the army supervisor, Cui Dana's important responsibility is to stare at the commander Yuwen Wen and prevent him from "taking the wrong path" to places he shouldn't go. Now the main force of the Lingnan Road marching has arrived in Fanyu, and it is thousands of miles away from Jiankang. No matter how wrong the map is, it cannot be bad. Cui Dana can finally have a good sleep.

So his first priority is to show his merits. Of course, he has to report the population, land, and tax statistics of Guangzhou and other places, do a good job in official articles, and exaggerate himself... the bloody battle of the Lingnan marching in a smoky land.

Fanyu is more than 2,000 miles away from Huangzhou and more than 3,500 miles away from Yecheng. What does this mean? It means that Cui Dana is too far from the center of power, which is very dangerous and it is easy to stand aside.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people were waiting outside the Prime Minister’s Mansion, waiting to be favored by Prime Minister Yuchi and solve the problems of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Cui Dana went to war with the army, which led to a vacant position in the Prime Minister’s Mansion. I don’t know how many people were waiting to replace him.

He was the chief marshal of the Lingnan Road marshal to achieve great achievements and was valued more by Prime Minister Yuchi, rather than accompanying King Yuwen of Xiyang to feed mosquitoes in Lingnan, which was intentionally or unintentionally forgotten, so he had to show his presence from time to time.

Cui Dana had to beware of himself fading out of Prime Minister Yuchi's sight, so he had to take advantage of the opportunity to report the victory and send people back to Yecheng to "activity" and strive to return to Beijing as soon as possible. As for King Yuwen of Xiyang, he would do whatever he liked to do in Fanyu.

As long as he doesn't commit a vicious atrocity, he will be too lazy to care about it!

"King, the preliminary statistics on the number of households in Guangzhou have been released, with more than 35,000 households. Of course, this is the number from the Taijian year. If you want to find out the specific number of households, you have to re-check it."

"What about the household counts in other states and counties?"

"Changshi Cui has sent someone to investigate separately. With the help of Mrs. Xian, I think the states and counties will cooperate a lot."

Yuwen Wen put down the file, rubbed his temples, took a sip of the 'Mailaoji' herbal tea, and signaled Liu Wenjing to sit down: "The climate and water and soil of Lingnan are very different from those of Huangzhou. Don't overwork, it's amazing to be sick here."

"The official understands."

"The old officials of the Chen State must use it and be careful. When you use them, you must be scrupulous and don't be stabbed by someone. You don't know who stabbed it!"

After careful explanation, Liu Wenjing left, and Yuwen Wen failed to take the opportunity to take a break from his busy schedule because he still had to do a lot of things, and these things cannot be delayed, and he had to make a decision himself.

One person entered, but it was Wang Jun who had previously recommended himself to persuade Wang Meng to surrender. Yuwen Wen signaled the other party to sit down and directly entered the topic: "Jing Wen, how is Wang Shixiong now?"

"When Wang Shixiong and other surrendered generals were not abnormal. The arrangements of the official army were very thoughtful and there were no hidden dangers."

Jing Wen is the name of Wang Xun, while Shixiong is the name of Wang Meng. Yuwen Wen heard Wang Xun say this and turned to another topic: "Our army has entered the city, and many matters are complicated. In your opinion, what else can I do besides counting household registration and files?"

Wang Jun knew that Yuwen Wen was taking the exam himself, so he didn't go around but directly expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, you must be careful of the sea route!"

"How come my navy is in Sangluozhou, Fengkou, Jiangzhou. If Chen's warships are about to float to the sea, what will the government troops resist?"

"King, yesterday I went to the South Gate to check the terrain. Fanshan and Yushan outside the South Gate have a dangerous terrain. You can set up a village on it to think that Fanyu City is defending the vassal screen."

"That is to divide the troops? Two mountains and two villages. If there are fewer troops in the garrison, there will be fewer troops in the city. Are you sure there is no problem with this arrangement?"

Faced with Yuwen Wen's difficulties, Wang Jun was confident: "The army is never too tired of deceitful, and this is a bluff. Establishing a camp does not require many soldiers. It is possible for Chen's army to see that our army is already prepared and retreat when it is difficult."

"Scare back? What if I can't scare back?"

"Even if Jiankang sends troops, he may not be able to send many troops. After all, the Jiangnan Road marching is about to attack Jiankang. Chen's king and ministers are too busy to take care of themselves. How many troops can he send to rescue Fan Yu on the sea?"

Yuwen Wen nodded and was very satisfied with Wang Jun's statement. In this era, Guangzhou... Fanyu, because the siltation in the Pearl River Delta is not serious, and the sea is not far from the south of the city, the army of the Jiankang court can go directly to Fanyu by sea.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lu Xun, who occupied Lingnan, rebelled and went north along the Qinshui River. His troops were divided into two groups into Hunan and Jiangzhou. Then he built ships along the Yangtze River and advanced eastward to the city of Jiankang. Later, he was defeated by Liu Yu, a general of the Northern Palace, and had to escape back to Lingnan on the same route.

After finally experiencing a journey to return to Guangzhou, Fanyu, the old nest, was taken over by the Jin army from Jiankang's floating sea. This shows that the sea route from Jiankang to Fanyu was already very mature in that era, let alone now.

Of course, Yuwen Wen knew to be careful of the sea route, but he asked knowingly that he wanted to see what Wang Jun's vision was.

This self-recommendation took the initiative to approach him, and his thoughts were clear. Yuwen Wen welcomed talented people to join him, but the premise was that he did have real talent and knowledge, so he would be spared if he had a discussion on Qingliu.

"This is a map of Lingnan, and this is a summary of the general situation of each prefecture and county. Take it back and take it carefully." Yuwen Wen pointed to a bunch of files around him, "I am very busy next time, so please help plan how to appease all parts of Lingnan."

"Dare not obeying!"

Wang Jun was overjoyed when he heard this. This was an amazing school entrance examination. He didn't think Yuwen Wen would have no decision on how to appease Lingnan, but he specifically asked him to "plan" because he actually wanted to see if he was able to accept the important task.

"If you have any information, you can ask Liu Jishi for help."
