Lan Tian stroked his beard and nodded: "Shi Xie's life has been smooth sailing. He has easily obtained the rights he has without going through any major battles. He is naturally frightened in the face of threats. Bo Ping's current marching rhythm is similar to what he had deduced on the sand table beforehand.

, your intelligence is quite good, I hope the battle will go smoothly next month."

Song Chen clasped his fists and replied: "Ushei was treated as an honored guest by the Shi family in Jiaozhi. Shixie learned about Sir's intentions through their brothers. He was frightened when he heard that the trapped army wanted to use Jiaozhi, but he didn't know that the Us brothers had always been ours.

, it’s too easy to obtain information.”

Lan Tian smiled slightly, Shi Xie's meticulous work was not only Wu Ding's, Shi Zhi (zhi), Hu Ke was also the eyes of the other party, but now Shi Zhi has been used by himself.

The general trend of the world is bound to be unified. Shi Xie still holds the illusion of eternal chaos and hopes that the Shi family will continue to be the local emperor in Jiaozhou. However, personal will cannot compete with the general trend of the times.

"There are many forests in Jiuzhen County and Rinan County. Is the Linyi guide bought by Ushei trustworthy? It would be very dangerous to get lost in the dense forest in the mountains. There are many miasmas and poisons in the forest, so they must pass quickly." Lan Tian frowned.

frowned.

"Sir, please rest assured that although those Zhan people are unreliable, the gold and silver offered by Wushei is very rich. In addition, King Linyi and Qu Jin's governance are relatively barbaric. Many people miss the rule of the Han Dynasty, so the guide is very happy to lead the way.

."

After Song Chen explained, he asked: "There is something that I don't understand. Since General Li Yi has built a port in the north of Zhuya, why not let General Gao go all the way by sea? This will not only advance faster, but also don't have to worry about being troubled by miasma."

, could it really be a fake Dao Fa Guo?"

Lan Tian shook his head gently: "Sailboats on the sea are not as good as on inland rivers. Once the wind and waves rise, the losses will be great. The reason why we only let Li Yi's naval force support us is mainly because we are worried about the safety of the march."

"The weather at the seaside was really bad last year, but this year the seaside in Jiaozhou has been relatively calm. The seagoing ships traveling to and from Guangzhou have all resumed..."

Before Song Chen finished speaking, Lan Tian directly interrupted: "Gao Boping brought half of the main force to Jiaozhou. I will not allow any hidden dangers on the way. In addition, passing by land to Hepu, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen does have the intention of beating up the scholar family.

There is not much time left for them to surrender completely."

"Sir, you are just too cautious. Although Longbian has many troops, the quality of its individual soldiers is too weak, so even a strong attack would not be difficult," Song Chen said again.

"Jiaozhou is so remote to begin with. The population of Jiaozhi County is larger than that of Cangwu County. I don't want to scare these people away because of the war. It is better to fight with the heart than to fight with the army." Lan Tian knew that Shi Xie had not been alive for a few years.

, but he no longer wanted to wait for Shi Xie to die, and he would put pressure on the Shi family after taking Ninan County.

Song Chen knew that Lan Tian was a master at playing mind games, and he was afraid that General Gao had frightened the Shi family half stupid. He just didn't know what means Lan Tian would use to take back the three counties.

"The army is about to start the war. Do you have any other instructions, sir? Once General Gao and the others leave Jiuzhen County, the news will not be transmitted back so quickly." Song Chen asked.

Lan Tian shook his head, "Boping and I have practiced many times on the sand table. There is no need to provide remote guidance on tactics, but you can send him a letter saying that the Huben Martial Arts Hall will be completed in two months. I plan to do it in July."

Yue has officially opened the door to accept students, and I hope that he, the general of the prison, can come back in time."

"Wei." Song Chen clasped his fists and nodded.

It is already the end of March. If the army still travels by land on its return journey, then Gao Shun will have one month left to attack. Lantian's letter is equivalent to giving a timetable.

As long as the sea is not too rough and does not affect navigation, those cross-sea caravans usually choose the sea route. Lantian's reply to Gao Shun also took the sea route. After leaving Panyu Port, the ship went southwest along the coastal line to the port in the north of Zhuya.

transit.

The second half of the sea journey was originally to go around Hepu and Jiaozhi along the coast, but Song Chen's people met the Jiaozhou navy at Zhuya Port and set sail westward, so they revealed their identities and changed ships to accompany the army.

Li Yi has been supervising the construction of warships in Jiaozhou for several years. He has now built hundreds of large and sturdy ships. Although they are not yet capable of long-term ocean voyages, they can sail at sea for four or five days without docking for supplies.

.

Four or five days were enough to assist Gao Shun in capturing Rinan. The straight-line voyage from Zhuya Port to the capital of Linyi only took three days at most.

On the eighth day of April, Li Yi and Yu Fan sailed on the sea for two days and arrived at Xupu County, the seat of Jiuzhen County (now northwest of Qinghua City, Vietnam). They met Gao Shun at Xupu Pier. Lantian's letter was written at the same time.

Sent to the front line.

After Gao Shun read the letter, he frowned and said nothing. Samoko guessed that Lantian had any new military orders, so he stepped forward and asked, "General Gao, what did you say in the letter? Are there any new tactical arrangements?"

"The teacher said that the Huben Martial Arts Hall is about to be completed and asked me to rush back in July to host the opening ceremony. Now there are less than three months left..." Gao Shun frowned.

"Hey, I thought there were other arrangements. Three months is enough time. The small country of Linyi only has a garrison of 20,000 troops, which is not enough for my barbarians to kill." Samoko's dark face squeezed out a look.

White teeth.

Gao Shun replied with a serious face: "General Sha can't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that you were restrained by the Yue people in Luling for several months in Longchuan County..."

Shamoko scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "That's because I'm not smart enough, but aren't you in command now? In addition, there is a major general who is both civil and military. To conquer Nichinan is just like chopping melons and vegetables?"

"Excluding the time spent on the return journey, the actual combat time is only twenty days..." Gao Shun frowned.

"Ah? I forgot that we still have to spend time on the road. Are you pushing too hard, sir? I'm also thinking of finishing the battle in Ninan County and grabbing Jiuzhen and Jiaozhi on the way back..." Shamoko said with a frown.

.

Lan Yuan glanced at the crowd not far away and warned Shamoko in a deep voice: "General Sha, be careful. The officials of Jiuzhen County are at the dock. Be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

"Uh... I know..." Samoko hurriedly covered his mouth.

From the moment Gao Shun's army entered Hepu, the Shi's family members were all watching along the way in the name of reception. They had just entered Jiuzhen County two days ago. The prefect Shi? (huì) was accompanied by county officials all the way. It is estimated that when they left Jiuzhen County, Shi

Your family will feel completely at ease.

Yu Fan followed up and said: "General Gao, I have been traveling on the sea with the ship these days. This sea area is still relatively calm. Why don't you let General Li transport you to the south in batches?"

"Well, we can first take Bijing County, an important town in the north, as our base, and then eliminate those big cities one by one." Li Yi clasped his fists in agreement.

"If we take the inland river, I will definitely let the soldiers board the boat, but the storm on the sea will come at any time, so I will strictly follow your husband's instructions and insist on marching south by land." Gao Shun said firmly.

"But General Lan gave you a limited time..." Yu turned his head and stroked his beard.
