Gao Shun left the main hall and the back hall, and when he went out, he found that Pang De, Samoko and others were guarding outside.
"General Boping, what did you say in the end? When will we send troops to Japan?" Pound asked expectantly.
Gao Shun replied: "Things have priorities. Cao Cao's defeat in Hanzhong has shaken the world. General Guan is taking advantage of the situation to go north to attack Xiang and Fan. Your focus is currently on Jingzhou, so the affairs of Rinan County must be slowed down."
"It's okay to fight Cao Cao. In the past two years, Jiaozhou has been peaceful and I've been very idle." Samoko scratched his head and giggled.
"Isn't the outer city wall of Guangzhou still almost unfinished? General Sha, do you think you have nothing to do now?" Gao Shun asked.
Shamoko chuckled: "The work is almost done. Besides, how can building a city be as exciting as attacking a city..."
Gao Shun shook his head and said: "I think you have been living a good life for too long. If you feel too idle, you should train more troops and practice more actual combat exercises."
Pound suddenly spoke up and asked: "General Boping, my cavalry lacks opponents, can I practice with your trapped troops a few times?"
Gao Shun was startled when he heard this, and then refused and reminded: "What are you kidding Ling Ming? It's not easy to get these horses. If there are any injuries during the exercise, wouldn't it be counterproductive? The trapping army is a heavy infantry."
With Lan Tian's strong support, Pound managed to raise a cavalry force of 3,000 people by raising them himself and asking a caravan to smuggle and buy horses in the north.
Pang De explained: "It's not that we really use cavalry to confront the trapped troops, but we just want to test the ability of horsemen to fight. I heard that Chu Sima's reconnaissance battalion under your command is all equipped with war horses, but horse fighting, infantry fighting, reconnaissance, etc. Proficient in spying..."
"Do you know why there are only a few hundred people in the reconnaissance camp? It's because training is too difficult. You should concentrate on training the cavalry you are good at. If you can train to the level of the Xiliang cavalry, it will be enough to ride all over the world." Gao Shun advised.
Pound sighed: "There is no problem in training troops, but the lack of actual combat of cavalry is very dangerous. Although they fight under horses and cannot be trained to be as elite as the trapped troops, they must have sufficient self-protection capabilities. General Boping should be good at training troops." I have experienced that it is more difficult to train a good soldier than a good horse.”
Gao Shun was a little surprised after hearing this. Pang De, a tall and powerful Xiliang man, actually cared so much for his soldiers. He thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate to practice directly with the trapped troops. I'll ask Lu Tie to send someone to your cavalry." Come on, anyway, the Martial Arts Hall is now cooperating and responsible for the security of Guangzhou."
"Thank you so much, General." Pang De said with fists in his hands.
Lu Tie's martial arts hall is a training institution for new recruits. The instructors are all veterans who have retired from the enemy army. The cavalry that Pound recruited himself was too embarrassed to ask Gao Shun to help him train. Now there is a martial arts hall that can make up for his shortcomings, so Pound was filled with gratitude.
"Sir, if you have something to do, I need to see Jiang Biejia. Please send someone to go to Gaoyuan for me. You, sir, have your own arrangements for the matter in Ninan County. The wild monkeys cannot make big waves, so you all should disperse first."
After Gao Shun handed over the task, he walked to Song Chen and said, "I'll take you to the military area to settle down. On the way, tell me about the war in Hanzhong?"
"Wei." Song Chen responded with cupped fists.
The wild monkeys mentioned by Gao Shun and others are the Cham people in Rinan County, and businessman Wang Shi got into trouble in Rinan.
Since using the large-scale ships built by Li Yi, Wang Shi's trade was not limited to offshore Hepu, Zhuya Island, Jiaozhi and other places, but he slowly extended to Jiuzhen County, Rinan County and other places.
Rinan County broke away from the Han Dynasty and became the Linyi Kingdom independently. Because of its very advantageous geographical location, it was a transit place for exploration of Southeast Asia, so Wang Shi also planned to spend great efforts here.
Wang Shi took the Central Plains goods purchased from Jiaozhou to carry out trade in Linyi through barter. Linyi was located in the remote and wild south and lacked materials. The local people particularly liked the goods from the Central Plains and took out local output one after another. Trade with Wang Shi included the Champa rice that Lan Tian had longed for.
Seeing the simple folk customs of Linyi, Wang said that the trade here was very smooth, and he thought that he would be able to establish a foothold soon, but what faced him was an unforeseen disaster.
Natural greed makes people evil. Moro, a general from the Zhan tribe who was in charge of the security of the dock, became evil-minded when he saw the dazzling array of goods on the ship. He went to King Linyi's area and framed Wang Shi as a spy of the Han Dynasty.
Ou Jin's father, Ou Lian, organized a rebellion in Xianglin and finally killed the Han Dynasty magistrate to establish the country. His behavior was unfair to gain the country.
The District family members were worried that the Han Dynasty would settle accounts after the fall, so they had been training the army to prepare for war for a long time, and took the initiative to cut off contact with Jiuzhen County in the north.
When the Shixie family was in charge of Lingnan, they had no intention of regaining the lost territory for the Han Dynasty. This made Lin Yiguo, who was on edge, relieved and concentrated on expanding territory south of Xianglin County. However, he did not relax his vigilance against the Han Dynasty for a moment. .
The king of Linyi chose to be in vain rather than indulge, and ordered General Moro to seize five large ships and execute more than a hundred sailors and boatmen accompanying them. The owner of the ship, Wang Shi, was accused of being a spy and was imprisoned in the prison of Xianglin City. middle.
The news spread back to Guangzhou City through other caravans, and the call for a crusade against the Ninan Wild Monkeys became louder. In the end, even Gao Shun, Pang De and other generals could not help but ask for a fight.
The twenty-fourth year of Jian'an was a turning point in the Three Kingdoms. Lan Tian did not dare to disperse his energy and troops elsewhere. He wanted to keep an eye on the rear in Jingzhou to prevent trouble, so he forcibly suppressed the wave of public opinion in Guangzhou City.
Not long after Gao Shun and others left, Gao Yuan opened the door and brought Jiang Wan in.
"Fu Jun."
Jiang Wan was panting and rushed, but still did not forget to bow politely.
"Gong Yan, please sit down and talk. How is the matter I asked you to check?" Lan Tian said, pointing to the seat next to him.
Jiang Wan held the hem of his robe and finished it, and replied with a serious face: "As expected by Lord Chu, there are really people secretly fueling the push to send troops to Rinan County. It should be all the work of Jiangdong. As long as it is strengthened For the verification of the four city gates in Guangzhou, if we close the door and beat the dogs, these troublemakers can be caught."
Lan Tian squinted his eyes and shook his head, "The main reason why Guangzhou City has become so prosperous in such a short period of time is that it has given a great degree of freedom. Only businessmen from far away will come here to do business. If the situation becomes chaotic and everything is at war, Guangzhou City will soon become so prosperous. People will leave and the building will be empty.”
"If they are not controlled, I am worried that they will suppress public opinion, and even worse, it will affect the prestige of the prince, and then affect the governance of Jiaozhou." Jiang Wan looked worried.
Lan Tian sneered and said: "We can send Xizuo to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan can naturally send Xizuo to Jiaozhou, but Gongyan can rest assured, everything is under my control. If you want to give full play to the role of Lingnan News, you only need to send people's opinions If attention is drawn to Hanzhong and Xiangyang, the wild monkeys in Rinan will naturally become unattractive."
"Are you saying that Lingnan News only reports on Jiaozhou affairs..." Jiang Wan asked.
"Isn't it okay to be vegetarian every day and eat meat once in a while?" Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.
