Sima Ji had high hopes for this battle, even greater than Linyi's expectations. First of all, Funan has been established for many years. The domestic accumulation must be greater than Linyi's country, and it is a good target... Well! The target of spreading the kingly way.

In the bitter and cold land of Youzhou, the King of Yan was actually very poor. He threw away the 50 million yuan of Yan's mansion, 6,000 pieces of cloth, 3,000 pieces of silk, fiefs of twenty-two counties, more than a thousand maids, adjacent salt drying fields, and the military power of Pingzhou that was not found. Sima Ji was actually penniless.

Furthermore, Linyi provoked the Jin Dynasty. Before Sima Ji came, Linyi Kingdom knew that the Jin Dynasty was going to fight south. He was ready for war, so this prepared country made the process of King Yan spreading the kingly way a little unsuccessful.

But Funan Kingdom is different. They did not know that the King of Yan decided to expand the scale of spreading the kingly way, so they did not prepare for it, but lived as usual. Moreover, in this era, no matter in any country, except for the Roman Empire with the ocean in the middle of the territory, they would not place the first threat direction on the sea.

Even if Funan did not let go of his doubts, the first thing he paid attention to was whether the land in the east was showing signs of the Jin army moving westward. If not, it would be peaceful in the world and the people would continue to live and work in peace.

This time, the Jin army came along the ocean. Sima Ji was most likely facing the unprepared Funan Kingdom. It was great. The King of Yan never felt ashamed of the enemy's unarmed defense, and could also provide ropes to tie himself up.

"If I set out at the same time, the Ningzhou army should have arrived at the destination before me." Sima Ji estimated the time. It was a relationship of going down the river, which was definitely faster than his continuous adjustment from the sea. I just don't know how efficient the Nanyi School Guard Mansion is.

The experience Sima Ji could refer to in the expansion of the country was actually limited, and only two dynasties had been comparing the Yan King. One was the Han Dynasty and the other was the Qing Dynasty. In his opinion, the expansion of these two dynasties was considered to be successful.

To defeat the enemy, you must occupy it and form a stable territory. You cannot withdraw your troops inexplicably and throw the land into a casual manner as an insole. The Tang Dynasty had a problem of throwing it while fighting. This year, 12 million square kilometers, 6 million square kilometers in a few years, and 9 million square kilometers in a few years, an emperor has only been in power for ten years, and the national territory has changed several times.

As for a certain person who claimed to be the Great Qianyuan, the territory that was pushed to the Arctic Circle was obviously opened through the map. Sima Ji felt that the advantages of that dynasty may be too few, and it does not conform to the common sense that existence makes sense, so he can only think of ways on the territory.

My Qing Dynasty obviously had no achievements in the south. Sima Ji could only learn from the process of our great Han's exploration of the south. At least he has helped. That is Ningzhou. The upper class of Ningzhou is from the Central Plains. Although the people in the entire Ningzhou are actually a minority, and the local talents are the majority of the population.

This is already very good. After all, it is not like the Yunnan-Guizhou dynasties that have all become chieftains. If the Central Plains had not fallen into war, this land that should have been digested would not have become a semi-independent area again.

The reason why the Jin Dynasty was struggling with difficulties in the north and south was Sima Ji believed that the main reason was that the population loss was too large, and it was already a bit difficult to support the Han Dynasty. When encountering ethnic gathering areas with a large number of people, they were always a little inadequate.

However, the Jin Dynasty was also a unified dynasty. Although it was difficult, as long as the central government did not have any problems, it could still maintain the advantage of Ningzhou. Later, the Jin Dynasty collapsed and Ningzhou was re-barred. When the Tang Dynasty came back, the Central Plains people and powerful people in Ningzhou had already merged with the locals, but instead regarded the later Central Plains people as an alien.

As long as the Jin Dynasty maintained basic stability for a hundred years, there would be no need for later dynasties to come specifically to change their territory and return to the land.

The Ningzhou Army, which King Yan was thinking about, actually tried his best. Li Yi, the commander of the Nanyi School, took out all his potential when Sima Ji threatened to transfer him to Pingzhou, and everything went from being organized to gathering the army to consigning warships. The warships he consigned were of poor quality and insufficient quantity, so he could only hold people. He didn't have to take a lot of food, war horses, and weapons like Sima Ji brought a large amount of food, war horses, and weapons, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

In the end, even the fishing boats were recruited, and they could only advance by water and land, allowing some soldiers to march along the river bank. They recruited ships along the riverside along the way, and when they met a tribe, they could barely let most of the 30,000 soldiers take a boat. As for supplying supplies, some soldiers were left to transport along the river.

Sima Ji, who caused all this, did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. He could only show off a rare kind look, lead by example and persuade the generals of all walks of life to carry on with the spirit of not being afraid of hardship or death.

"Captain, King Yan will not blame us for the slow march." Zhuti Prefect Yong Yue asked with some concern, "This time it was really too hasty. We have never fought south. There were not many ships in Ningzhou. This time, even bamboo platoons were used." Speaking of this, Zhuti Prefect Yong Yue's face flashed with a strange look, "Will the King of Yan attacking Funan Kingdom be a temporary intention?"

"So what? He is the commander of the Southern Conquest. He is urging troops to destroy Linyi. His army is in full swing. You and I can only obey the orders. I can tell you that if the ship capsize this time, you and I will definitely not be able to keep the prefect and the lieutenant. If you can keep your head, it is the emperor's grace." Li Yi breathed a long sigh. The birds singing and flowers singing and the beautiful scenery along the river were all dirt in his eyes. In his heart, he only hoped that all the commanders of the Yilu could work together to complete the Southern Conquest mission in view of the tax exemption this year.

"The lieutenant, the prefect, there are troops intercepting the army in front of him. According to the knowledge, the Yishuai said that it should be the Zhen La army and a vassal state of Funan." At this time, a soldier walked into the ship and reported.

"Zhen La? No matter who it is, it cannot stop the army from going. Tell them that if you want to survive, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for turning against others." Li Yi's face turned dark. Of course, he hoped that more things would be better than less. But Zhen La is a vassal state of Funan. If he really wants to snipe the way, he will inevitably have to fight.

You must know that the King of Yan might have already set off at this time. If he missed the opportunity to fight, it would be a big deal.

Li Yi is a small-scale naval fleet. He wanted to quietly go down the river and join the Yan King's army without bloodshed. This fleet was a naval army from the Ningzhou River. In order to mobilize enough troops, Li Yi and several prefects mobilized almost everything that could float in Ningzhou.
