Chapter 140: Joining forces to siege the city

Maintaining the last point of national prestige, Sima Ji still let the envoy return to the capital, and did not snatch the big gold jewelry on the other party's neck. Then he looked at Tang Chen impatiently and said, "Don't you see my eyes? Don't understand what I mean?"

"Your Highness, how can we have the imperial edict to attack Funan? The false imperial edict is to be executed!" Tang Chen quickly lowered his head and confessed his guilt. You are a vassal king, I am not. I am a commoner like me, so don't let me do such a difficult job, right?

"I just asked you to speak out to prove that there was such an imperial edict in the former Han Dynasty. What are you afraid of? How long has the former Han Dynasty been destroyed?" Sima Ji breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to pass the imperial edict, but if he faked the imperial edict from the previous dynasty, he wouldn't be able to do it.

There is also such an operation? Tang Chen looked surprised and whispered, "Your Highness, isn't this the imperial edict from the previous dynasty to ask about the crime of this dynasty? Is this what it is done?"

"It is enough to be beneficial to my Grand Jin Dynasty, but it is not good to be unfavorable. In this matter?" Sima Ji pondered for a moment. Why can't he kill the officials of this dynasty with the Shangfang sword of the previous dynasty? Was the emperor of the previous dynasty not the emperor?

"Your Highness, but you just said that you want Queen Liuye’s descendants to lead Fu Nan? Who knows they still exist?" Tang Chen felt that his marching time for several days seemed to be unable to have the same thinking as King Yan.

"I'll discuss this matter!" Sima Ji was frowning. He actually never thought about how to deal with Funan. First of all, when he was going south, he came towards Linyi. Later, he thought about using the Lancang River as the boundary, and first digesting the land that he could succeed. It was not until ten or twenty years later that he could make progress.

This idea is mainly compared with the Tang Dynasty. Sima Ji felt that the Tang Dynasty was a relative of the foreign country, and the royal family and vassal states were weakened. None of the internal conflicts of the Tang Dynasty were weaker than him, and each of them was stronger than the Tang Dynasty.

The internal contradictions of the Tang Dynasty absolutely affected the success of the Tang Dynasty, which can be seen in foreign wars. The Tang Dynasty's territory changed drastically, just like the electrocardiogram of investors when the Chinese stock market plummeted.

So when the Tang Dynasty army was a bull, it defeated everything in just a few decades of its founding, and its territory was extremely widened. Then it entered the electrocardiogram mode, and the land could not be kept under control after the battle, but it was still fighting every year, but it didn't know what it was fighting.

The problem of the Jin Dynasty was only more serious than that of the Tang Dynasty, so what Sima Ji was most worried about was that he could not defend the land. So he had been restraining his ambition to send troops, and he didn't want to kill too much land at once and then lost it.

The population of the Jin Dynasty did not even feel the pressure on the land north of the Yangtze River, and even the south of the Yangtze River was not developed, and there was no spare energy to occupy too much place. However, the population growth was very fast, and this problem was temporary. It would be enough to wait until a generation of people grew.

Of course, if you really win, Sima Ji could allow Ningzhou's population to move south, but this would cause great trouble. Ningzhou has the majority of the barbarians, and Ningzhou itself has great contradictions. If it expands to a larger place, it will be even more difficult to evaluate.

Sima Ji looked at Ningzhou just like Jiaozhou, and they were all targets to be prepared for, at least now.

"It's not impossible to establish a queen. Women are easier to deal with. You can find an excuse to annex it in a few years." Sima Ji inserted his waist. When will the catapult arrive?

As long as you can win, Liu Ye's descendants will be gone long ago. This is also a problem. If you catch a girl casually, it is best to be only a few years old to support the throne. The King of Yan said that she was the royal family of the previous dynasty, and she was the royal family of the previous dynasty.

In another ten or eight years, I will give this woman to the emperor and merge it into Funan. Only in this way can I think about it for a long time and even exceed it!

The sun once again rose on the top of the pass, and the mountains and fields were covered with blood-stained soil. The branches of the jungle were burned bare, and there were still "crackling" sounds. The soldiers of Yishang from all over the mountains were picking up equipment, bows, arrows, swords, shields, and even clothes. The Yishang's subordinates in Ningzhou did not have so many problems. They were not as picky as the soldiers under Li Yi, and they were picking up everything they could collect.

Teams of Funan soldiers holding their hands high were taken back. They were all the Funan defenders who had no time to withdraw when they retreated. After the vine armored soldiers successfully rushed forward, the defenders cut off their arm and immediately chose to retreat. They left their comrades behind, and then said that they had waited for reinforcements and ran away.

The Ningzhou Army was ready to launch a general attack from the east, south and north directions. The tide-like troops instantly submerged the few resistance forces of the Funan defenders.

After entering the pass, the first thing that catches your eye is the tall houses hidden by green trees. This kind of building is very suitable for the climate of the South subtropical rainforest. It is divided into two floors. It is a place to store debris and raise livestock. The upper floor is a place for family members to live and live. Each embroidery building has a balcony where families can enjoy the cool breeze and dry clothes. Inside the house is a large living room with bamboo mats, where family members eat, rest and receive guests, sitting on bamboo mats.

People live above and livestock live below. During the Warring States Period, many people in the Central Plains also had this arrangement at home, but this arrangement was relatively rare in the Jin Dynasty.

This kind of high-rise building also exists in Ningzhou, and Li Yi did not pay much attention to it. If it weren't for the urgent matter, he would have wanted to burn it here. The most skilled person in this way of killing and setting fire is actually the army.

"Captain, there is no more pass on the way to Funan Capital." Yong Yue walked in at this time. He just went to ask the prisoners of the Funan defenders about what was going on here. In a strange country, he had to have a basic understanding of the situation, and he did not forget this.

Every official in Ningzhou must learn to deal with the barbarians, let alone a dignified prefect. This is not a difficult task at all. In addition to the difficulty of language problems, he has successfully achieved his goal.

"Well, along the way, it is indeed very different from the landforms of Ningzhou. Although the climate is similar, we have mountains and undulating mountains, and there are indeed endless flat places here. There are too many forests." Li Yi was inspired. Although he has been in Ningzhou for a long time, he was also the Nanyi Captain appointed by Luoyang. He could see the benefits of Funan's territory at a glance.

Li Yi didn't know that the King of Yan still hoped that he would lock the various Yishangs in Ningzhou in Ningzhou, and he had no intention of immigrating from Ningzhou. He could still pay attention to it when he saw it in Ningzhou. If he ran here, the sky was high and the birds could fly, who would have time to come and suppress them?

Just because Li Yi didn't think too much about it. Although the Yi generals are difficult to deal with, he can control them. Once he is recruited and moved, it means that the number of households under his jurisdiction has decreased. From the perspective of the Nanyi Captain, Li Yi is not willing.

The fleeing Funan Army had long since disappeared from its original calmness. It fled in scattered areas or hiding into the dense forest to hide. Some soldiers who were loyal to the country wanted to return to the capital to reorganize their arms and prepare for war.

That's right. From this point of view, the King of Yan did not pretend to be sick. Funan was not ready to be on guard against the attack of the Jin army. It was completely different from Linyi's gathering troops to attract them without plagiarism.

There were only a hundred Funan troops in front of him, and they had escaped for a day and a night of panic. They were on the verge of collapse in their bodies and minds. They dragged their legs like they were filled with lead and continued aimlessly. Even the swords in their hands had been discarded, and many soldiers were directly bare-handed.

If they break through the siege rashly, they may be swallowed by the enemy during the sports battlefield. Obviously, this team of Funan soldiers was lucky and were not caught by the pursuers, but that was their luck.

Two sharp arrows flew from the bushes, and the two unlucky guys were already penetrated by their chests and fell to the ground and died of death. The soldiers who were extremely tired were frightened by this for a moment, and then they lost the last chance to escape.

"There are unexpected gains, and I have tied them up!" A horse came out of the dense forest, and there were dozens of Hu cavalry behind him. The leading Hu people were not in a hurry at all. He could see that these natives had reached the end of their strength, and they almost fell down as soon as the wind blew. How far could they go?

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Hu cavalry behind him shouted out, howling and slapped the horses and chasing them. After the Jiaozhou army arrived, the siege of the city was taken over by the Jiaozhou army. Although Hu cavalry has never been able to siege the city, it is a waste in the end. Sima Ji asked these Hu cavalry to do their old business and catch people and count their wages.

Many imperial guards and generals were very satisfied with Sima Ji, because this commander never did anything that he thought was clever. The siege was a siege, and there was no tentative attack. Doing a good job of siege was considered completing the task.

There is also the creation of siege tools, and the siege machines are on the ship, but other siege tools can be used locally. The entire camp is in a busy state. Now, as long as the siege is sent, the siege can start at any time.

In Sima Ji's view, the only obstacle is this city wall. In addition, Funan Kingdom has no dangers to defend. In fact, Funan Kingdom is a large plain and has no dangers at all.

"Your Highness, the young general is following General Landing. General Landing said that the catapult was dismantled and it will not take long to deliver it!" The prostitute who had just arrived at the camp was still breathing heavily and came directly to the King of Yan and said, "There is also news about the Ningzhou Army. The Nanyi Captain Li Yi has landed and is heading towards here. He will only meet with Your Highness in two days."

"Okay, try to get a single attack and take Funan for me." Sima Ji was not in a hurry to know where the reinforcements were, and waited patiently.
