Chapter 777
When Jin Lushan heard Liang's army retreat, he said a little regretful to Cao Chun who was sitting opposite him: "General Cao, this Liang army is really just here to raid Jinguan City. When we saw our troops retreat, they also retreated. If we had known this, I would not have ordered the destruction of Jinguan City."
Cao Chun replied: "The king should not regret it. If we did not destroy Jinguan City, they would probably not withdraw their troops. Instead, they would occupy Jinguan City first, and then rely on this city to advance north along the Luodong River to conquer our hinterland."
Jin Lushan asked again: "What should we do now?"
Cao Chun blinked and said, "Of course, he will continue to attack the Liang army on Tsuma Island. If he does not drive them away, he will always be a disaster for the King's Gaya and our Great Wei."
In fact, Cao Chun knew that it was difficult to retreat by constantly ramming Tsuma Island. The role it played was at most to delay the Liang army on Tsuma Island's advance towards Yingzhou. Of course, this statement cannot be explained directly to this Jinli.
Jin Lushan said in embarrassment: "Will we go back to Jinguan City again? But Jinguan City has been destroyed, and it will take half a year to repair the city walls. What's more, we return to Jinguan City, and the Liang army will attack again. Should we destroy Jinguan City again?"
Cao Chun bowed and said, "Of course, this cannot be done. Wouldn't it be too stupid to do this? Our warships can go directly down the Luodong River and attack Tsushima Island and then return. It's just that it takes seven or eight hours more than the original schedule. "
Seeing Cao Chun insisting, Jin Lushan had to stumble and agree. Cao Chun was happy in his heart and thought that the King of Gaya was obviously a foolish and unscrupulous monarch. He didn't know why the other seven Lords of Gaya City wanted to continue to support him as King of Gaya, and perhaps they were protected by their masters. He thought again, this would be fine, if he had changed to a smart person, he might not have to obey his own mercy.
Cao Chun didn't know that King Jin Lushan of Gaya also sat on the throne of King Gaya in a daze. The founding lord, the first King of Gaya, Jin Shouluzhen, was as guessed by Zhang, He, Wei and Wen. He did not live to be one hundred and fifty years old. Instead, he failed at the age of ninety.
The crown prince designated by Jin Shoulu, his great-grandson, was the father of Jin Lushan, who inherited the throne of Gaya. At that time, Jin Lushan's father was still a child of seven or eight years old, so he naturally could not rule. Moreover, if this news was revealed, the other seven Gaya city-states could not regard a child as the common ruler, that is, it was impossible to recognize the status of Jin Guan Gaya in the Eight Gayas.
Therefore, the "Guming Ministers" of several Jinguans, Gaya, concealed the news of Jin Shoulu's death from the outside, and the king of Jin Lushan's father on the inside, but in fact, the power was in the hands of a "Guming Ministers". The government affairs of Jinguan and even the entire Gaya were actually released by these "Guming Ministers" in the name of Jin Shoulu.
Jin Lushan's father should have been able to rule the country after he became an adult and disclosed the news of Kim Shoulu's death.
Unexpectedly, when Jin Lushan's father was able to take power at the age of twenty, his body collapsed and he died at a young age. The "Minister Gu Mingshan" had to let Jin Lushan, who was also young, continue to hide the news of Jin Shoulu's death. When Jin Lushan grew up and was supposed to take power and announce Jin Shoulu's death, some loyal people among these "Minister Gu Mingshan" were also killed by time.
The remaining "destined ministers" had a sense of being unjust, trying to hold the weak and indifferent golden thread in their palms, so the golden-shoulu, who had been dead for decades, was still "living".
However, when Jin Lushan was nearly forty years old, these ministers who actually controlled the government of Gaya started to fight infighting. In addition, Jin Shulu had not appeared in public for decades and had not summoned the rest of Gaya city lords, which had already aroused the suspicion of everyone. Therefore, they could no longer hide it. After a lot of internal struggle, they had to announce the deaths of Jin Shulu and Xu Huangyu, both of which were 150 years old. Jin Lushan publicly ascended the throne of Jin Guan Jiaya City Lord and King Gaya.
However, even so, the power of the Jinguan Gaya is actually not in the hands of Jin Lushan. Except for Guning Gaya, the other seven Gaya cities only nominally recognize Jin Lushan as the co-lord of Gaya, but in fact there is no relationship between commander and being commanded.
The reason why Guningaya obeys the orders of the Jinguan Gaya is that Cui Minggao, the king of Guningaya, is also a powerful minister of the Jinguan Gaya. So it can be said that the Jinguan Gaya is controlled by the king of Guningaya.
However, when Cao Pi's army came, the situation changed again. After several meetings between Sima Yi and Cui Mingqiu, they didn't know how to make the latter devote themselves to becoming Sima Yi's actual retainer.
Perhaps one of the reasons was that Sima Yi gave Cui Ming a big cake. Sima Yi told him that Cao Pi's Wei army would sooner or later unify all the Japanese people on Yingzhou. At that time, the Wei army not only supported Cui Ming to ascend to the throne of King Gaya, but also truly unified Gaya, but also supported him to unify the Three Hans and even the entire Haidong Peninsula.
Therefore, with the cooperation of Cui Mingjiao, Sima Yi used a series of words to easily let Jin Lushan agree to the conditions of the two parties' alliance, and even let Jin Lushan marry Cao Pi, a sister, be the queen. When Sima Yi crossed south to Yingzhou, he also took Cui Mingjia away. Before leaving, he arranged some of his own people to continue to control the various key positions of Jin Guan Jiaye. In this way, Sima Yi could remotely control the Jiaye Kingdom in Yingzhou through Cui Mingjiao. This is why Jin Lushan obeyed Cao Chunyan.
...
At dawn on the second day, in the Luodong River west of Guning City, one after another, Gaya warships sailed into the Luodong River from a tributary passing around Guning City. In less than half an hour, the river was covered with ships of all sizes.
This time, Cao Chun led the army to command the attack on Tsushima Island. Cao Chun was sitting upright on the deck of a flagship ship, thinking that after nearly a day and night of sailing, he could arrive at Tsushima Island before dawn the next day. The Liang army on Tsushima Island happened to retreat not long after, and he would never have thought that his army would follow him immediately. This time, he summed up his last experience. The harbor that attacked the Liang army was far more effective than the surprise attack on the camps on the land. So this time he prepared sufficient ships, and almost all the warships came out in full swing. He was determined to destroy all the Liang army warships in the bay of Tsushima Island in the bay of Tsushima Island, so the Liang army on Tsushima Island had no ability to counterattack.
