Chapter two hundred and fortieth far-reaching close attack
"Zhang Tong, the prefect of Dafang County, paid a visit to King Yan!" After arriving in Dafang County, the local supreme chief executive came to pay a visit immediately.
Zhang Tong was not a very important official of the border officials in the entire Jin Dynasty, and Dafang County was not a county that had to be retained. On the contrary, as a border prefecture and county, he was in a position that could be abandoned at any time.
However, Sima Ji still gave Zhang Tong enough courtesy. It has to be said that he was also influenced by my hero. Although Zhang Tong is unknown, his grandfather has left a great reputation in history. Zhang Tong's grandfather is Zhang Liao, a famous general of Wei State, and Sun Hundred Wan.
"The prefect does not need to be too polite. For many years, there have been three Koreans in front and Goguryeo in the back. It has been hard for so many years!" Sima Ji first expressed his gratitude to the prefect of the prefect of the Detective, and then changed his subject, "Now Goguryeo has perished, and the pressure on the Detective County has been reduced a lot, eliminating worries. This is not the end. This is also the purpose of this king to solve this problem."
"Your Highness refers to the Three Hans?" After all, Zhang Tong was a military general. Although he had become a civil servant here, the environment in Fangjun also allowed Zhang Tong to work diligently to consolidate defense for many years, so he knew that Sima Ji was a bad person this time.
When the Pingzhou army entered the territory of Dafang County, Zhang Tong had already guessed in his mind. Until Sima Ji came today, he knew that this battle was a foregone conclusion. The leadership of the army of the Jin clan was symbolic. It did not mean that all the commanders of the war were royal families, but as long as the royal family was in charge, it meant that the Luoyang court had attached great importance to it.
"Yes, last year, a big star crossed the starry sky, and there were rumors among the people that evil spirits were causing trouble." Sima Ji opened his eyes and told lies. Who made people of this era believe in this thing? "So I came to eliminate the Three Hans and drive away the disaster. Well, the Dafang County has never been valued. The prefect guarded the border for many years, should have some understanding of the Three Hans, but he didn't know how long the war could last. I told me that I could write a letter and mobilize food and grass."
"If there are 20,000 troops, Dafangjun can provide support for three months, and no matter how many, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it." Zhang Tong was cautious when he spoke, for fear of making the King of Yan unhappy, but this is also the truth. As a prefect, he must say it.
Sima Ji nodded and fully understood the other party's difficulties. He had a household registration of 4,300 households in the county. It was already very good to be able to achieve this. He could not count on Lelang County. Lelang County was located in the territory of North Korea in later generations. Most of the territory was mountainous. His household registration was just over 3,000. The population was not as large as the population. Moreover, the road was inconvenient and he could not help.
The 20,000 army is already the limit that Zhang Tong can do, and this should not be criticized. The Korean Peninsula is not a place with abundant resources. Fighting to raise war and hunting can only solve part of the supply. Youzhou fleet must rely on it.
"I also know that this will increase the burden on the people of Dafang County, but I still need to work hard to help the prefect. You must know that once the Three Hans are destroyed, Dafang County will not be a county with frequent wars, and the people will naturally have a good life. The difficulties now are all for future peace. I hope the prefect can inform the people." Sima Ji sighed, his words were definitely enough to speak earnestly. I believe that the people of Dafang County can understand this truth. Areas with frequent wars will cherish peace and live a stable life, and the people can sacrifice temporarily.
With a population of 4,300 households, there are still many undeveloped areas in the entire Daofang County. At least it is definitely not a problem for the Pingzhou Army to establish a quiet camp. There is actually a tribe called Dong-chan in the east of Sanhan. Sima Ji recently learned that there is such a tribe on the Korean Peninsula, which is located on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula. In his opinion, the meaning of this tribe is to get along with each other in a distance. When Sanhan is not honest, they can join forces to teach each other a lesson.
However, now, the tribe of Dongqiu is obviously unable to move. After destroying the Three Hans, it is OK to return to the army to attack Guo, but it is definitely not possible to move now. In view of this, Sima Ji ordered the prefect of Fang County Zhang Tong to prepare gifts and temporarily stabilize the Dongqiu tribe. The King of Yan did not expect the tribe to be so good. He sacrificed his head and blood for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty, as long as he did not come out to cause trouble now.
"Your Highness, the Dong-Ji tribe is also famous for its bows and arrows. When Goguryeo was still alive, Tong had always united the Dong-Ji tribe and Mahan Baekje to fight against it. He had a deep impression of the Dong-Ji tribe's bow. If he could mobilize the Dong-Ji tribe to send troops, I believe it would be difficult to destroy the three Koreans." Zhang Tong suggested, "You might as well give it a try."
"But it may not be successful. It is not difficult for such a neighboring tribe to order troops to teach the Three Hans a lesson in the name of the Great Jin. But if we say that they can sacrifice their lives for the Great Jin and destroy the Three Hans, it is best not to hold hope. As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, you can't expect that everyone we face will be idiots." Sima Dio shook his head and looked at Zhang Tong, "But I will need a few days to wait for the fleet in Youzhou. The prefect can try to contact the Dongfeng tribe. Prepare some generous gifts. I have money."
As for the recruitment of the archers of the Dongqian tribe, Sima Ji listened to this. He had already summoned enough Jurchen heavy arrow camps and did not desire archers. The Dongqian tribe, Goguryeo, and Fuyu people are all a systematic tribe. Sima Ji and the soldiers of the Jurchen camp are another systematic tribe, and the two have nothing to do with it.
Zhang Tong said goodbye to the court and went back to the capital to launch a diplomatic offensive. Sima Ji continued to stay in the camp. Soon Zhang Tong sent an envoy to the Dongqian tribe and saw the leader of the Dongqian tribe explaining his purpose. Dongqian's bow was very exquisite, and he could shoot hundreds of steps. The arrows were made of iron. Short-handed weapons were relatively backward, including short spears, big swords, giant axes, etc.
The great Jin Dynasty still has the power of heaven, and the signboard of the prefect of the county is still useful. The leader of the Dongqian tribe also warmly received the envoys, gave courtesy, and listened carefully to the purpose of the visit.
"Dongqi and my great Jin have always been harmonious. The peace of the county is also due to the Dongqian tribe. I came here this time with the thanks from the prefect!" The envoy explained his purpose in a long way, and then gave him a generous gift and revealed his purpose, "I don't know if I can borrow troops."
The leader of Dongfeng pondered and was about to agree. At this time, a nobleman who seemed to be very powerful came over and whispered a few times. The leader's face changed, but he still kept a smile and said, "Dongfeng must have sent troops for a long time, but his strength was limited. We cannot do the request of the messenger."
