Chapter 116 Can’t the emperor taste herbs?

Soon, the war ended in chaos.

"It's a pity that because the pirates were too brutal, Jiaozhi's friendly troops suffered numerous casualties."

Wu Tong died the most tragically.

Although he was quite brave, he could fly two chessboards with one shot, and his bodyguards would block the sword from time to time.

But after all, Liu Ke stood on the commanding heights of morality, flying three or four chessboards in a row from a high position, so that no matter how brave Wu Tong was, he was still accidentally injured.

Liu Ke sighed deeply, observed three seconds of silence for the friendly soldiers who died innocently, and then began to collect the chessboards one by one.

This time we will march all the way north and hit Jiaozhi County, which will consume a lot of money on the chessboard.

If you use it up halfway, you have to make it again, which is too troublesome and not environmentally friendly.

After being able to recover thirteen chessboards that could be reused, Liu Ke asked Chen Fujia, who was taking inventory of the battlefield, and said:

"The soldiers who died in the army need to be buried properly and their names recorded. When they return to Qiongzhou, I will pay my respects in person."

"As for the Cochin navy, just put on pirate clothes and bury them hastily, so as not to overwork the soldiers."

"Then set up a monument and write it down that the Han army assisted Jiaozhi in wiping out the pirates."

Chen Fujia nodded and obeyed. If you kill a pirate, you have to leave the body, right? That's right!

I have to say that the emperor fought beautifully in this battle.

First, they pretended to return to sea, using retreat as advance, so that the Cochin Navy could relax their vigilance.

Then let the Han navy disguise as pirates and use fast boats to approach Vung Tau Port to consume the equipment on the Jiaochin side.

The most important thing is that the "pirates" entangled the Cochin Navy, making it impossible for the Cochin Navy to escape easily.

What happens next is simple.

The Han army returned for a surprise attack. After a round of consumption, the catapults could not cause a lot of damage, allowing them to get closer to the Jiaozhi Navy at the minimum cost.

And the Jiaozhi Navy was tightly entangled by "pirates", and could only watch the Han Navy approaching without being able to retreat.

To retreat would be to get stabbed in the back.

As a result, the Han army's large and small ships collided with each other at once, causing great chaos.

It has to be said, especially the emperor's donkey-head ship, which is obviously a giant ship, but it is still so fast.

When it collided with the ship of the Cochin Navy, it seemed as if the sea was shaking.

Then the two sides launched a boarding battle without any surprise.

The fighting power of the Han soldiers was already superior to that of the Jiaozhi soldiers. In the chaos, they won easily.

Not only did he successfully log in easily, but he also held great righteousness and would not be criticized by the public.

only

Chen Fujia felt that he could come up with such a clever plan, but it was really unlikely that he would use it as a suggestion.

It's not his own way at all. He can't do it just by pretending to be pirates.

Is it only Jia Wuji in prison who would do such a thing?

"Jia Qing's plan is indeed effective, but it will lose the integrity of the country. You must still comfort the soldiers!"

Liu Ke looked at the sea in the distance and suddenly sighed to himself.

Gan Wenjin and Li Jingji, who were reorganizing their troops, understood clearly.

Sure enough, it was the old Yin man in the prison who came up with the plan. He knew the enemy was in the prison and was strategizing. He was indeed quite capable.

But this official pretended to be a bandit, beat up the friendly troops, and turned the friendly troops into pirates, which was a great advantage. This plan was really sinister!

After a while, Liu Ke looked for Chen Fuja and asked:

"Have you found any correspondence between the generals of the Jiaozhi Navy and Dong Hu?"

Chen Fujia responded quickly and said:

"I found it. I didn't expect that Wu Tong not only blocked our army from suppressing the bandits, but also colluded with the Donghu people."

"Since Jiaozhi is a Han state, but it does such a despicable thing, it must be because there are treacherous ministers in the court!"

"Your Majesty is the emperor of our country, and our army is also a force of justice. Our country is in trouble and we have to save it. Is there any reason to sit back and ignore it?!"

"Please Your Majesty, please immediately march into the capital of Jiaozhi and restore peace to Jiaozhi!"

Liu Ke shook his head. Not only did Chen Fujia's body shape gradually change, but his speech also changed. However, he was not as clear as He Kun guessed the holy intention.

"There are treacherous ministers in Jiaozhi. As a great country, I must send troops to rescue them."

"But don't be too hasty. The soldiers still need to rest well before they can fight."

"Immediately ask Li Jingji to rely on Vung Tau Port to set up camp. He will assemble the army and rest for three days before heading to Rinan County."

"yes."

Chen Fujia then went to tell Li Jingji to set up camp.

Liu Ke paid careful attention to Li Jingji's performance in the battle just now.

In fact, Li Jingji also killed a few Jiaozhi pawns. After all, his strength was 77, so he could be used as a pure general.

As for this [hundred battles and hundred defeats], it shouldn't be a problem if you don't lead the army yourself.

Just let him set up camp and see how capable he is.

However, after Li Jingji received the military order, he did not immediately start setting up camp. Instead, he specifically asked to see Liu Ke and suggested:

"Your Majesty, there is a saying in ancient times that one can make great efforts, but then they will decline, and three times they will be exhausted."

"Now our army has won a great victory, and its momentum is like a rainbow."

"We should take advantage of this momentum before the enemy can react, attack them unprepared, march quickly, and capture Nichinan County."

This was Li Jingji's first time to give advice. Liu Ke was a little pleased. He seemed to be a person with pursuits.

However, he still chose to dampen Li Jingji's enthusiasm and flatly refused:

"Our army has not established a stable footing and is not familiar with the terrain of Cochin."

"Take a break to reorganize the army. Not only can we send out exploration horses to explore the terrain, but we can also familiarize the soldiers with the climate."

"It's true that the momentum is like a rainbow, but what if we can't take down Nichinan County all at once?"

Li Jingji thought about it carefully and it seemed right.

The emperor's splendor of seizing three counties in three days should not obscure the actual situation.

Conquering cities and territories is not that simple. After the Donghu conquered the Han Dynasty and moved south, they fought for twenty years!

Moreover, at this time, the Han army was in a vassal state they had never set foot in before, so they needed to act more cautiously.

"Your Majesty is right."

"It's just a saying in the art of war. Wherever you are facing an enemy or facing each other, if you are facing an enemy, you will be far away from the water."

"Our army crossed the sea to attack and captured Vung Tau Port. It should be stationed far away from the water so that we can advance and retreat."

Liu Ke finally understood why Li Jingji was defeated in every battle.

With such a scripted temperament, it is difficult to win.

Why is Yue Shaoqian strong?

Because he has the characteristic of "machine change", people know how to review the situation and use troops according to the situation.

No matter how the emperor fights, Yue Shaoqian knows how to cooperate.

Whether it was repelling the Donghu Nan army that besieged the city, or defrauding the three armies of Qiongzhou, Yue Shaoqian's deployment of troops and generals played a vital role.

But after all, there was no second Yue Shaoqian. Liu Ke also wanted to train Li Jingji, so he patiently explained:

"There is a saying in the art of war: water has no constant shape, and soldiers have no constant momentum."

"It is recorded in the book, but it is not so absolute."

"Now our navy is all over the place, and the Cochin Navy has been completely destroyed. There is no enemy on the sea who can block our retreat."

"This sea is our army's retreat, and our army still needs a port for subsequent material transportation."

"Therefore, Vung Tau Port must not be lost, and it is necessary to set up camp here."

It seems reasonable.

Li Jingji nodded seriously, wrote it down carefully, and then went down to set up camp.

However, only two days later, something went wrong in the camp.

Li Jingji's camp was well set up, but the problem was the poisonous insects.
