Chapter 775 The 150-year-old King Gaya

Hundreds of warships drew traces on the mirror-like sea surface. When they were hundreds of battles away from the coast, Wei Wen and Zhang He, who were standing on the warship, could see the outline of the Gaya Jinguan City from afar. Black smoke obviously rose in the city.

Zhang He said: "It seems that they have learned that we are coming, and they have abandoned the city and left."

Wei Wen smiled contemptuously and said, "It's okay, it's not too late to attack along the Luodong River when we take this Jinguan City, and then go north to attack along the Luodong River. Now, Bumi in the southern part of Mahan has been pacified and subdued by Zhang Liao. Our Daliang army is sweeping the remnants of Chenhan and Mahan in the east. They can go south and attack Gaya from north to south at any time. Gaya's territory is not large. The area of ​​the eight Gaya cities is only two or three hundred miles in a radius, only three or four Tsubasa Islands. Even if they retreat into the deep mountains and forests, they will not be able to deal with us for long."

Zhang He nodded slightly in agreement and said, "It's just that the sooner we can wipe them out, the better. Someone has sent a fast ship to Xu Zhu, who is still stationed in Bumi, asking him to lead his Wei army to advance east along the mountain road to the west of Luodong River and threaten the enemy's flanks. I believe that we will meet in Gaya soon. I just don't know what the battle situation of General Zhang Liao is. If he can quickly pacify the remnants of Mahan, Chen, and Han, he can go south along the Luodong River, and we can advance together in three directions and completely wipe out the enemy entrenched in Gaya."

As they spoke, the fleet had already sailed not far from Gaya City. Sure enough, they had already seen that the walls of Gaya City had been destroyed, and they could even see the flames rising in the city. Wei Wen heard Zhang He muttering, "Strange!" and asked, "Brother Junyi, why is that strange?"

Zhang He immediately responded: "Look, although all this Jinguan City is destroyed, the ruins of the city walls and towers and the ruins of the buildings in the city can still be seen clearly. This style seems to be very different from the style of our Dafang Lelang County and even the style of the Mahan State. Could it be that they are not the same clan and Chenhan?"

Wei Wen squinted his eyes and looked at it, as Zhang He said. It should be noted that although the three Hans were far away from the Central Plains in a corner of the Haidong Peninsula and were not directly ruled by the Central Plains dynasty for a long time, they were deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture from Qingzhou and the Dianfang County in the west of the sea. Therefore, although most of their buildings were in the era of thatched adobe, their architectural style was similar to that of the Central Plains.

But the buildings that Wei Wen and Zhang He now see, whether they are city walls, towers or houses in the city, have a unique external style. Wei Wen is familiar with this style and can't help but say: "I have been to some foreign countries in the southeast of Myanmar, to Ceylon, and visited the countries of Zhendu. This style is somewhat similar to that there."

At this time, a Mahan general who had defected to the Liang army early behind them took the initiative to explain: "Report to the two generals, we will know a little about the reasons."

"Oh? Tell me."

After obtaining Wei Wen's permission, the Mahans began to tell the story. It turned out that Jin Shoulu, the founding ancestor of the Jinguan Gaya, was once just a tribal leader of the Bianhan tribe. At that time, the Bianhan tribe was still a stage where they relied on slash and fire to make a living. They did not know how to build cities, could not build decent ships, could only cross the water with bamboo rafts, or even build houses, and could only build simple thatched huts.

Once, when Jin Shoulu was leading his tribe members to fish on the beach, he suddenly found dozens of large ships floating on the sea, with red sails and flags. Hundreds of foreigners came down from the fleet, but the leader was a woman with excellent looks in Jin Shoulu's eyes. After the meeting between the two, the woman claimed to Jin Shoulu as the princess of Ayutuo, who was from the poisonous state, and her surname was Xu Huangyu. Because her parents dreamed that the gods instructed that there was a King of Jin Shoulu for his heavenly favor, they came here on a boat. The two became husband and wife.

Later, Xu Huangyu and his men taught the tribes' skills such as farming mulberry trees, building houses and building ships. Finally, the Jin Shoulu was established, and over a hundred years, he gradually conquered the other seven tribal city-states of Gaya, and in more than a hundred years, the current Gaya Kingdom was founded. It is said that the Jin Shoulu and his wife both lived for a long time and lived for more than 150 years. Among them, Jin Shoulu was the fourth year of Jian'an, which was the first time when there were many princes of the Han Dynasty and died in name only. At this time, Jin Shoulu had already exhausted his sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The current Gaya King Jin Lushan was his great-grandson, and he ascended the throne of Gaya Kingdom in the fourth year of Jian'an.

Zhang He shook his head repeatedly and said, "This story is unbelievable. I have never heard of anyone living so long. In our Central Plains, even the longest-lived emperor Zhao Tuo lived 103 years old. And not to mention that Jin Shoulu himself lived 150 years old, his wife Xu Huangyu also lived 150 years old. How could such a thing be possible? A person lives 150 years old? Can you think about these two people... completely impossible! This must be a legend made up by individuals. They must not be born more than 100 years old."

The Mahan said embarrassedly: "But Jin Lu Shan is Jin Shou Lu's great-grandson. This cannot be fake. He can't be just Jin Shou Lu's grandson, and then he said he is Jin Shou Lu's great-grandson. If he lives less than 150 years old, how could he have a great-grandson? In addition, San Han has a close relationship. We Mahan people knew from a young age that the king of Gaya was Jin Shou Lu. More than 20 years ago, when Jin Shou Lu passed away, he sent an obituary to the tribes of San Han."

Wei Wen next to him laughed and said, "The year of birth was not fake, but when did he die, he could fake it. This is also common in the history of the Central Plains. For example, for some reason, the funeral was not secretly reported, and it is possible for outsiders to know that he is dead. It is possible to hold a funeral after blocking it for more than ten years or even decades. In addition, there are many unreasonable stories about the founding of the Gaya Kingdom, and some people think that it is mostly a myth made up by man. For example, the three words Xu Huangyu do not look like a person who is a poisonous person.

The transliteration of Sanskrit name. Secondly, the story says that after the two met, Jin Shoulu immediately learned the purpose of Xu Huangyu, which is hard to believe. Because the Kingdom of Ayudah is a country in the heart of the body poison, and is more than ten thousand miles away from Gaya. The languages ​​of the two places must be inconsistent and cannot be found, and it is impossible to find someone familiar with the other party's language. Because both are small countries and small scriptures, they know that both languages ​​are very few. So how can they immediately communicate such a complex meaning in language after meeting?"

Zhang He nodded in agreement with Wei Wen's opinion, but asked in confusion: "But General Wei said just now that the architectural style of Jinguan City is indeed similar to that of the body poison, so how can this be explained?"
