Chapter 112 Breaking the Darkness with Thunder

Before leaving, Liu Ke made a habit of going to the prison to see Jia Wuji.

Only this time he also released Jia Wuji by the way.

According to the current honeymoon period of the Han Dynasty court and aristocratic families, if Jia Wuji restrains himself a little, he will not be so afraid of justice from heaven.

After all, Jia Wuji's political management also has 92 points. It would be great to help Xiao Yuanchang share some of the logistical pressure and raise more food and fodder for the army.

At this time, there was silence in the prison, and all the irrelevant people avoided except the monarch and his ministers.

Liu Ke looked solemn, held Jia Wuji's old bark-like hands tightly, and solemnly asked:

"Qiongzhou is the foundation of the Han Dynasty. There is no room for failure, so I entrust it to Jia Qing!"

"I will obey your Majesty's orders."

Jia Wuji raised his eyelids and responded seriously. It remains to be seen how much effort he will put into it.

But he knew in his heart that this time it would be more troublesome than before.

The emperor wanted to conquer in person again, but unlike before, the Donghu people no longer had the upper hand.

Moreover, with Yue Shaoqian leading troops to garrison Kanghai County, Qiongzhou had a barrier, making it difficult for the Donghu people to invade.

If the Donghu side wants to take action against the Han Dynasty, it will be very difficult to send troops to attack.

Even a desperate attack could not deal with Yue Shaoqian, who had sufficient supplies of food and grass in the short term and was fully trusted by the emperor.

If an opportunity is found, Yue Shaoqian will push back.

It is difficult to gain an advantage in foreign affairs, so the Donghu side will definitely make full use of their efforts to make big moves inside Qiongzhou.

If something really happened inside Qiongzhou, it would be his job.

kill.

Liu Ke shook Jia Wuji's hand tightly before letting go.

it is more than words.

Xiao Yuanchang was an expert in logistics, and Yue Shaoqian was also a talented general.

But a person who is good at leading troops in war and a person who is good at government affairs are neither people who can lead the overall situation.

In the past, Liu Ke could confidently go on an expedition in person, believing that no major mistakes would be made in the rear, and it was also because these two people had become one.

Now that the two are separated, their power is reduced by half, and they can only leave the rear to Jia Wuji.

In fact, Jia Wuji is not someone who can take charge of the overall situation.

With these two characteristics of protecting himself and hiding his clumsiness, he will not easily make his own decisions.

But his intelligence is truly outstanding and trustworthy.

"There is still a huge shortage of talent."

Liu Ke could only rely on Xiao Yuanchang to recruit talents, pointing to this talent mining machine to dig out a few more useful people.

Even an abstract existence like Li Jingji, who is "defeated in every battle", is generally average in ability.

It would be even better if we catch a few more people like Wei Jishu who are very strategic and capable of managing politics.

Jia Wuji slowly followed Liu Ke and left the prison.

Just when he was about to see the light outside, he suddenly paused and covered his eyes with his sleeves and robe as if he was afraid of the glare of the sun.

He looked back at the cell at the same time.

It seems that he misses the comfortable days in the prison cell.

But instead of nostalgia, there is a touch of indescribable excitement in his eyes?

——

For this personal expedition, Liu Ke decided to take the water route.

Jiaozhi is surrounded by land on three sides, with only one side connected to the South China Sea. However, the hydrological environment is relatively good, with ocean currents in winter, spring, summer and autumn, and winds in opposite directions, so there is no unfavorable meteorological environment throughout the year.

The biggest impact may still be the typhoon.

Fortunately, Liu Ke also has the destiny of [Yin Yang and Five Elements], and he also has a slight understanding of celestial phenomena. With the talents of two pirates, the landing battle is not difficult.

Proceed directly westward by water and land in Cochin from the port of Nichinan County.

Then fight from south to north, capture Rinan County, defeat Jiuzhen County, and finally go all the way north to capture the capital of Jiaozhi, that is, Jiaozhi County. This battle is over.

If we attack Jiaozhi from Gaozhou on land, we can certainly take advantage of the Han army's infantry warfare advantage.

However, Liangshan Mountain in the north of Jiaozhi County lies in front of us. To get through it, we have to climb over the mountains and ridges, which is quite laborious.

Moreover, Liangshan is an important defense area of ​​the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and many Jiaozhi natives live in it.

Just find a cave and hide in a dense forest, and the Han army will be at a loss. It is also easy for the Jiaozhi natives who are familiar with the terrain to be ignorant of martial ethics.

Landing from the sea and fighting all the way north is not the case.

After Liangshan, there is basically a flat terrain with no danger to defend.

In other words, if we can successfully land in southern Cochin, half of this battle will be won.

This time Liu Ke brought Chen Fujia with him to join the army. In addition to making suggestions, he could also go to Jiaozhi as an envoy.

When the landing is successful, let Chen Fujia persuade him to surrender.

If you land on your side, you will win half, if you surrender to Cochin on the opposite side, you will lose half. If you round up, the big man will win completely.

Normally, Dian Chu led eight hundred imperial guards to guard him, while Gan Wenjin commanded twenty thousand naval troops.

But in addition to the 20,000 naval troops, there were also 20,000 infantry.

This group of troops needs another general to lead them.

Liu Ke chose Li Jingji.

There was no way, Yue Shaoqian was leading the troops in Gaozhou, and Zhao Ning was sent to Gaozhou to fight in the wild. Qiongzhou needed a more reliable general to take charge, so Lian Hansheng could only be allowed to stay in Qiongzhou.

The only one I have on hand who can use it is this Li Jingji who is "invincible in every battle".

"In the worst case, just let him be responsible for setting up the camp, and let Gan Wenjin work part-time for the infantry mobilization."

But Liu Ke was actually quite optimistic about Li Jingji.

Kick off [One hundred battles and one hundred defeats] and don't look at it. The four-dimensional values ​​​​are in the 70s, close to 80.

The characteristics are also good, [Refined Analysis] means he is good at summarizing and can speed up growth, [Advances and retreats well-founded] is a magical skill for someone else, and [Knowing the Small Things] is also good, which shows that he pays attention to details and can deduce the big picture from the details.

If it develops well, then find a way to eliminate the [100 battles and 100 defeats], and become a fully developed general.

Not long after, Liu Ke led his army to Zhibi Port. Gan Wenjin and the navy soldiers were waiting on the boat early.

Liu Ke was about to lead his troops to board the ship when he happened to see a huge stone tablet erected beside the trestle of Zhibi Port. The words on it were quite elegant and could be called the best in the world.

"Emperor Zhaowu destroyed the Donghu Navy here."

He read it word for word and immediately frowned.

"Who did this?!"

Chen Fujia responded:

"It is a stele that Mr. Xiao sent people to erect. The words on it were written by Mr. Xiao himself and carved by craftsmen. It is said that it is to boost morale and win the hearts of the people."

"What a Xiao Yuanchang, he actually learned how to be extravagant and wasteful!"

Liu Ke shouted loudly, looking a little angry:

"Does such a trivial matter need to be recorded in a monument?"

"Are the taxes paid by the common people to the imperial court used for this kind of thing?!"

"He even wrote it in his own hand, just to show off his beautiful handwriting!"

"Why--"

He sighed again: "It's my fault that I didn't teach you. This matter must be blamed on my lax discipline. Let Xiao Yuanchang tell the people of Qiongzhou on my behalf that I know I was wrong."

"I should not have erected this monument, let alone inscribed on it "Emperor Zhaowu destroyed the Donghu Navy here." Remember not to miss a single word."

"I sincerely regret it, and I must inform every citizen in Qiongzhou."

Cough cough cough——

Chen Fujia coughed and almost choked.

Is this repentance? This is what the emperor destroyed the Donghu Navy and even erected a monument to tell the world!

A broken stone tablet costs only a few dollars, which is not enough for a noble family to redeem one person!

Show off, show off properly!
