"In other words, your highness is the name of returning to the court. After setting off, the navy heads south and heads towards Funan Kingdom?" Zu Ti asked for a moment of pondering, "Are all the troops boarding the ship? Isn't it a little too risky?"

All the troops boarded the ship, which was definitely not a good choice. The sea was not a continent, and there were too many unpredictable things. So when I heard this idea, Zu Ti felt a little confused, not only because he was from the north.

As soon as he saw Zu Ti's pondering, Sima Ji sighed in his heart. The people of the Central Plains were really a little afraid of the ocean. There seemed to be no marine empire in China in history, and the marine empire was not unique to Western Europe. The Julu Empire in South India once occupied the Malay Peninsula, and the Oman in Arabia once occupied Madagascar in southern Africa, all of which were thousands of kilometers away from their local areas.

However, the expansion of the Zhuluo Empire was equivalent to ensuring the Southern Song Dynasty's maritime transportation route, benefiting the Southern Song Dynasty, which had only half of its territory.

"The imperial guards, Hu cavalry and Jiaozhou army boarded the ship, Shanyue army stayed, General Zuti fought against Linyi's vassal states on land. After so long, we have almost figured out the locations of these vassal states. Therefore, this attack is divided into two parts." Dahai can't understand, so he plays the mainland. Sima Ji is not a stubborn person. "After the time comes, I set sail with the 50,000 army, and General Zuti stayed on land. I attacked Funan, and General Zuti attacked Linyi's vassal states."

"Your Highness, Zu Ti is not afraid of the ocean, he can also board a ship to fight." Zu Ti obviously misunderstood Sima Ji's meaning and immediately spoke, "Can the Shanyue Army not enter the ocean?"

"General Zuti, there must be someone who stays on the land. It is impossible for a hundred thousand troops to board the ship, otherwise who will defend the prefectures and counties that have been captured?" Lu Ji persuaded, "Your Highness leads 50,000 troops to be dispatched, which is already a great force."

"General Lu Ji was right. The reason why he left the Shanyue Army was because although the Shanyue Army was recruited from Jiangnan, there were still differences between Jiangnan and Xianglin. Going further to Nanshanyue Army, there may be injuries, which is not what I wish. The Jiaozhou Army is a native of Jiaozhou and is adapted to the weather in Funan." Sima Ji also spoke, saying that he did not look down on the other party, but this was the opportunity for Zu Ti to stand alone.

Who said that the subordinate tribes of Linyi are easy to deal with? The sum is not necessarily worse than the Linyi country. Moreover, this is no longer the head-on decisive battle at the beginning. In the next stage of war, the Jin army must enter the dense forest.

"Your Highness, Hu Qi seems to be a man from the north. Are you afraid that they will not adapt to the environment?" Zu Ti glanced at Murong Yun, who never spoke actively, and thought to himself that Sima Ji was not lying to him, right?

"Hu Qi is strong and different!" Sima Ji didn't need too much explanation. The Hu people could not farm the land and could only eat meat. The people in the Central Plains made a living by grain. How much food can eat to feed a meal of meat is a matter of different opinions. The staple food of the Jin Dynasty was basically considered coarse grain in later generations.

Of course, this is also the reason why the population of nomadic people has never been able to rise. There are gains and losses. The grassland cannot afford to provide too many people with meat.

Furthermore, Hu Qi is different from other troops. This is what Sima Ji hired for himself. He could pay and allow the other party to rob and even massacre the city. However, when it comes to war, Hu Qi must stand up for me, and he did not pay for himself to find an uncle.

"As the same thing, either don't move, you will be thunderous. From the beginning of the first battle to the decisive victory, I hope that it will not last more than a month. You must know that I have given such a long rest time. No matter how tired or tired you are, you should be gone." Sima Ji straightened his back and said clichély, "Those who have exceeded the deadline will draw one of the ten people above the sergeant will be beheaded..."

"I can't capture the capital of Funan for a month. Ten people will be beheaded and the city will be massacred! The Shanyue Army also followed this military order and looked at Linyi's vassal tribes equally!" Sima Ji's eyes swept the aisle one by one in front of several people, "Is there any problem?"

"Your Highness, we always have to explain to the soldiers the reasons for attacking Funan Kingdom. Otherwise, it will not be able to consolidate the morale of the army." Zhou Chu, as the commander of the Jiaozhou Army, spoke at this time, "If the name is not right, the words are not right. How can the soldiers fight to the death?"

"I have been thinking of a legitimate excuse for the past few dozen days, and I really thought of it. Although Fan Yi's daughter Funan Kingdom handed over, several Brahmin masters did not handed over it." Sima Ji said confidently, "We have erased all the Brahmin traces in Linyi, and this is evidence."

"Tell the soldiers that it was these Brahmins who instilled the idea of ​​opposing our great Jin people to the Linyi people, so Linyi was the one who attacked Rinan County. These Brahmins incited the Linyi natives and their sins were unforgivable. Therefore, although the Linyi people were hateful, the main villains were those Brahmins!"

As soon as he said this, whether it was Zhou Chu, Zu Ti or Lu Ji, he was joking or not. Lu Ji hesitated and said, "Your Highness, this seems difficult to believe."

"I don't believe it either, and I don't expect you to believe it." Sima Ji said with an expression that you wouldn't really believe it, "But ordinary soldiers don't know a big word, just let them believe it. They don't even need to know where Funan is, they just need to know that Funan is the enemy of the Great Jin."

"Your Highness is far-sighted!" Several people looked at each other and bowed to each other. Although Your Highness spoke too straightforwardly, the truth was indeed the case. Whether the soldiers believed it or not depends mainly on the indoctrination of the lieutenant generals.

Why didn’t the King of Yan directly target the country of Funan, but the Brahmins who were struggling to kill chickens was mainly because he was not sure about destroying Funan. If it was not destroyed, Funan would take the Great Jin as his enemy. Therefore, in public propaganda, it must have nothing to do with the country of Funan. Our hostility between you and me was provoked by those third brothers.

If this was in modern society, it would be like another United Nations laundry detergent incident. However, in ancient society, there was room for operation. Didn’t the southern army erase the traces of Brahmins? This is evidence. The Great Jin had found that Brahmins had incited Linyi to attack Rinan County. Funan Kingdom took Brahmins in order to be enemies with the Great Jin.

If it cannot be destroyed, the Great Jin will tell Funan with dignity that these Brahmins are too bad, so they will provoke the relationship between you and my friends and then withdraw their troops. If everything goes well, then there is no need to say that they will save even the reasons.
