In Liaodong, the farthest city from the border, General Fang Daye was ready to attack Fuyu Kingdom, a year later than his initial expectations. There was no way. The main energy of Da Chu at that time could not be used to retaliate against a small country, but to pacify the troubles of Yunmengze and the East China Sea. The main responsibility of the army outside the border was to prevent the north, and Liaodong could not obtain enough troops, horses, food and grass.

Fang Daye waited patiently, repaired the city as much as possible, recruited refugees to reclaim wasteland, and at the same time, he sent scouts from afar, and even went on a personal journey hundreds of miles away to survey the terrain and capture prisoners.

Ten days ago, he finally got a military force, with a small number, and with the original garrison in Liaodong, there were only 8,000 people.

Fang Daye felt that it was enough, and he got accurate information. Fuyu's country was in chaos, divided into several factions and endless struggles. This country was originally composed of many tribes, but now it will restore its fragmented state.

Eight thousand soldiers were enough to defeat several factions of the Fuyu Kingdom.

There is another reason why Fang Daye was eager to launch an attack. He was too old and had been a prisoner and general outside for many years, and was about to exhaust his energy. The emperor summoned him back to Beijing at least ten times, and Fang Daye refused for various reasons. He was afraid that he would never return to Liaodong after his last breath.

"When I was young, I always thought about how to save my life on the battlefield. I moved my army back to the court to receive merits and rewards. I was glorious in front of my family. After staying outside for a long time, I could no longer tell where the home was." The old general was usually taciturn, but today I gave a few words of emotion.

The captain Ma Da came from a fishing village in southern Jing. He followed Juehou at that time to join the Suwei Army. He drank and caused trouble many times and was sent to the frontier. He himself was willing. He could be said to be very happy and felt that the capital was too boring.

Ma Da has a stubborn donkey temper, but he respects Fang Daye very much. He serves as a soldier for the veteran general as a captain. At this time, he blinks and says, "The place where there is a wife and children is home, right? I don't have a wife and children, so I don't have a home, so General Fang must have it."

"Well, I'm almost unable to remember what they look like." Fang Daye stood up, tall but bloated. After putting on the full set of armor, he immediately became majestic, but his belly was difficult to get down and still bulging.

"Walk."

Fang Daye was the first to lead the way, Ma Da held two bows, one crossbow, and three pots of arrows, followed closely behind.

The troops had already gathered, Fang Daye only left 500 people to defend the city, and all the other soldiers followed him to attack Fuyu Kingdom.

The Fuyu Kingdom was backed by the vast forest, which was even more difficult to travel than at sea. Fang Daye had made a detailed plan earlier. Instead of approaching its capital, he inserted his territory in a diagonal manner. He marched for more than ten days and went around to the rear, cutting off the main road for Fuyu Kingdom to retreat into the forest. Then he made a bluff. There were less than 8,000 people, but there were tens of thousands of people in the barracks.

As he expected, the Chu army was still on its way, and the Fuyu Kingdom had already split. The main battle formed an army and rushed to fight, but they were defeated in all three battles.

Fang Daye on the battlefield was completely different from the usual veteran general. He went on the battle himself and shot the arrows without any effort. Ma Da had no time to supply arrows, so he had to arrange another person.

Following such a general and everyone is fighting hard, it is bad news for the enemy.

The Fuyu Kingdom was defeated and the Chu army was still dozens of miles away from the capital, the king chose to surrender.

Since the failure of the Huns to attack Da Chu, Fuyu Kingdom has been proposing to surrender, but every time he put forward many conditions, Da Chu refused.

This time, there was a real unconditional surrender, and the counterattack was not possible. The Huns were looking forward to have no shadow. The civilians could walk on a small path to hide in the forest. The king brought too many wives, concubines and treasures, and could only wait for the army to come to the city.

Fang Daye seized the envoys who were seeking surrender and led his army to the city, showing the letter of surrender to the defenders, and ordered them to open the city gate immediately.

The Fuyu Kingdom was already in chaos and had poor orders. When the nobles guarding the gate saw the letter of surrender and the envoy, they immediately ordered the door to be opened.

The Chu army entered the city and surrounded the palace.

King Fuyu led all his tribesmen out of the palace and surrendered dozens of warriors, claiming that he was bewitched by them and became a vassal of the Huns.

War is war. Fang Daye immediately killed the main warrior and sent military officers to loudly list the ungrateful betrayal of King Fuyu in the local language. Finally, in the name of the Emperor of Great Chu, he announced the abolition of the old king and the nobles chose another new king.

Fang Daye was ambitious. He not only wanted to defeat Fuyu Kingdom, but also wanted to make this small Liaodong country unable to recover. It will no longer be a hidden danger to the Great Chu.

After the new king was elected, he made a request to move the capital westward and dispatch manpower to build several new cities a hundred miles away from the new capital to deliver them to the Chu army. In this way, the new Fuyu king would be protected by the Chu army and facilitate trade between the two sides.

Fang Daye has even chosen the location.

Fang Daye started war in late spring and Zhucheng laid the foundation in midsummer. He arranged everything and wrote a private message to the emperor. Before the autumn begins, the oil is gone and the lights are gone.

Ma Da cried bitterly in front of the old general's bed, which was even more sad than the death of his relatives. "The general and I have the word "big" in their names. The general's son is far away in the capital. I will be your son and give you filial piety."

Ma Da carried the coffin and sent the old general's remains back to his hometown, buried it in his ancestral tomb, and gave the letter to the emperor with his own hands.

In Mayi City, when the Northern Army's Grand Marshal Chaiyue heard the news of Fang Daye's death, he ordered the entire army to be mourned.

Chai Yue did not participate in the battle of Fuyu Kingdom and kept staring at the movements in the north. If the Huns planned to support Fuyu Kingdom, he would lead his army to intercept it.

The Huns were not abnormal, and Chai Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He actually only had 50,000 soldiers under his command. Once the war started, the supply of food and grass could only last for one month. It was really not a good time to start the war.

The wind was calm and the soldiers on the ship were not interested in the war in Liaodong. They had their own generals and their own battles.

Since last year, Huang Pugong has been at sea for more than half of his time and will win every battle. He has rarely seen pirates within a hundred miles of the coast.

The number of naval warships increased to more than fifty, which were larger and more stable in navigation. Several of them could withstand the strong winds and waves. Huang Pugong often used them to attack the islands.

More than ten years after leaving the sea, Huang Pugong still knew the entire sea area, knowing which island is suitable for Tibetans and which island must have hidden wealth.

The island he is going to attack today is far away from the coast, but its location is very important. After the capture, it can build an important stronghold. From then on, the Dachu navy will no longer have to stay on land and wait for the pirates to attack.

The pirates on the sea also understood the importance of this island. More than a dozen people gathered here to fight the Chu army.

The battle began in the early morning, with more ships on the pirate side, and the Chu army's warships were larger and more sophisticated.

Huang Pugong is a little similar to Fang Daye. Both like to lead by example and are unwilling to take the lead in the formation and command in the rear. He personally led a large ship to rush around the pirate group and set off a way for other Chu army warships.

The pirates hoped to jump on the other side's boat to fight in close combat, but Huang Pugong tried his best to avoid this. All the soldiers on the boat held long spears, twice the length of ordinary spears, and were specially used to prevent people from boarding the ship.

The rest is to bump, constantly bump.

The battle lasted for a whole day. Before nightfall, the pirates suffered heavy losses, leaving only a few small boats fleeing in panic.

Huang Pugong took advantage of the victory to land on the island and wanted to set up camp on the island.

It was here that the Chu army was ambushed.

The pirates were obviously prepared for a long time, and the number of people gathered here far exceeded the Chu army's previous estimates. The naval battle was just to lure the enemy into depth, and the decisive battle was to be held on the island.

The number, configuration, and tactics of the pirates against the Chu army were clearly understood. Huang Pugong quickly understood that he had been betrayed and someone wanted to kill him.

Half a month later, the emperor on the tour route received news that the general Huang Pugong of the tower ship led his army to sea, but he did not return after the deadline, and did not send people to deliver letters according to the rules, for fear of more and more misfortunes.

In the distant West, at Kunlun Pass, a city began to take shape. This was the contribution of Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan. He participated in the planning and construction throughout the process, and was more at ease than being a general. The countries in the Western Regions sent people and food to send high hopes for this city, thinking that only it could block the gods, ghosts, and great Shanyu, so he named it "Three Nos" Gods, and ghosts, and no one could pass through this city.

The people of Chu asked the court for instructions according to the usual practice and named it "Hujucheng" according to the direction.

General Deng Cui did nothing and was really unwilling to stay in this desolate place as the city wall rose inch by inch, and was more willing to travel around.

In the first year, Deng Cui often went to the Western Regions countries to interact with royal families. He was of noble origin and was also the emperor's "favorite minister", so he was warmly welcomed everywhere.

Zhang Yin deals with mud and stones every day, and has not moved the place for more than two years. However, Deng Cui married three wives, all noble ladies from various countries, one of them was even a princess, and he did not take them with him. He stayed in his own country and lived together when he went there.

The Western Regions were still too small. After Deng Cui visited several times, he began to travel to the West, calling it "survey the terrain". However, he only selected beautiful and densely populated places, and did not draw pictures or record them on the road. God knows how much terrain he remembered.

Deng Cui's position was higher, and Zhang Yin could not control him, and he did not dare to control him. He only did his own job well and tried to complete the city as soon as possible so that he could atone for his grandson's sins.

In the late spring of this year, probably at the same time as the battle in Liaodong, Deng Cui had a sudden idea and said to Zhang Yin: "Why did the Great Chu insist on building a city here, waiting for the Great Shanyu to attack? Why couldn't the Chu army take the initiative and attack directly to the extreme west?"

Zhang Yin stuttered, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Finally, he said: "No, no, no, no Chu army."

There were only hundreds of Chu troops in the Western Regions, and they had to rely on the power of the countries to build cities, and they had no spare energy to attack westward.

"The Western Regions are protected by the Great Chu, and the ** teams are the Chu army." Deng Cui no longer discussed with Zhang Yin, nor asked the court for instructions, and went to various countries again. Three months later, he actually made him form an army of tens of thousands of people.

In the late summer, Zhang Yin watched a "Chu army" pass through the unbuilt Huju City and march westward.

"Go, where to go?" Zhang Yin asked.

"Let's go and see, maybe I'll be back in a few days, or maybe three to five months. Don't wait for me, build a city quickly, and open the door for me then."

Deng Cui's style has not changed and his military management is not strict. The troops provided by twenty or thirty countries are still in their own ranks. Judging from the real Chu army standards, it can be said to be chaotic.

Zhang Yin finally understood that Deng Cui was not a joke, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to hurry to the court.

When all these things happened, the emperor was on the road. (To be continued.)
