Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were older, so Liu Zheng asked Huang Zhong to stay and asked Xu Huang to deal with the matter of Linyi Kingdom.

Originally, Liu Zheng planned to do such a small thing and he didn't need to participate in it, but when he thought that if he had done a Linyi Kingdom, he might have a second Linyi Kingdom and a third Linyi Kingdom in the future.

After all, there is not only one strength in Southeast Asia. Liu Zheng decided to go over and take Xu You who had just returned.

There should be no big problem with Xu Huang guarding him.

In this way, Liu Zheng came from Cangwu County, led his own guards and Xu Huang to attack Jiuzhen County in a short time.

Jiuzhen County is one of the several counties in Jiaozhou, located above Rinan County.

Liu Zheng knew about the world map. After all, he was a modern person and still had some impression of the map of Southeast Asia. However, after seeing the map of Jiaozhou in Shi Xie's hands, he found that Jiaozhou only occupied a small area on the Southeast Asian Peninsula.

In the entire Southeast Asia region, although it cannot be compared with the entire Han court, it can definitely be as large as the three or four prefectures and counties of the Han Empire.

As for why after conquering Jiaozhou, we did not continue to attack other places in Southeast Asia, I think it is rare to see that there are not many people here. Even if we conquer, it is just wasteland and there is not much useful things at all.

Secondly, Southeast Asia is far enough from Jiaozhou, not to mention that it is from the imperial capital Luoyang. The news will take at least half a year if the transportation is inconvenient. It takes at least half a year for the troops to go back and forth, and supplies and other things cannot keep up.

Even if it is defeated, it will not have much effect.

Perhaps this is why the Han court at that time did not continue the southern expedition.

But Liu Zheng is different now.

After decades of development, Linyi Kingdom has now significantly improved its population and strength. If Linyi Kingdom is incorporated back, it will be able to increase the population of Jiaozhou and increase enough sources for Liu Zheng's recruitment.

Moreover, Rinan County is also located by the sea, and it may be possible to trade with countries further apart through Rinan County.

Although Liu Zheng didn't know whether there were other countries nearby, there must be some. After all, in the European continent, this time should be the time when the four empires rose.

Ten days later.

Liu Zheng, Xu Huang and others appeared in Jiuzhen County.

In Jiuzhen County, Shi Xie and others had arrived here in advance, and had further understood the situation in Jiuzhen County, and at the same time gathered the soldiers of Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County.

When Liu Zheng came here, Shi Xie had already gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses from Jiaozhi County, and at the same time gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses from Jiuzhen County. Including the two thousand veterans in Xu Huang's army, there were 12,000 people in Jiuzhen County at this time.

Although most of the 2,000 people were recruits who had just been trained for three months and had no combat experience, no matter what, they were all young and strong men. With Xu Huang's leadership, they still had some combat effectiveness.

After all, the soldiers led by Xu Huang at the beginning were the Yellow Turban Army. The soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army were also some new recruits, most of whom were farmers who only knew how to farm.

Under Xu Huang's command, he can still exert some strength on the battlefield. Now, these people have been training for three months and still have some combat effectiveness.

"Sir, the situation is not optimistic. The people of Linyi Kingdom have occupied the entire Rinan County. Now they have gathered the remaining troops and approached the outside of Jiuzhen County, intending to continue the attack."

Shi Xie began to report the information he had collected to Liu Zheng.

"Well, I have guessed this situation a long time ago. People are greedy. Since they have made up their minds to resist the Han Dynasty, they will naturally not stop easily. Governor Shi Xie told me how many people there are in Linyi Kingdom, where is the position now, and who is the head coach!"

Liu Zheng had a murderous intention towards Linyi Kingdom and was determined to conquer the lost territory and eliminate these rebels.

"Sir, there are not many soldiers in Linyi State, only 25,000 people. Moreover, after occupying Rinan County, the troops were rarely dispersed. Now there are only 20,000 people gathered outside Jiuzhen County. Their commander is Fan Yi, the son of the second king of Linyi State!"

"Fan Yi, the son of the second king, I remember you said before that founder of Linyi Kingdom was called Qu Lian?"

Liu Zheng vaguely remembered the name, but now he heard that the king's son had become Fan Yi and his surname was Fan, but he still couldn't understand it.

Shi Xie also smiled faintly and immediately explained to Liu Zheng.

"There are actually some stories in this. Although Qu Lian established himself as the king, he had no descendants and did not leave a successor, so he could only let his nephew, the current king of Linyi Kingdom, succeed to the throne."

"After Fan Xiong succeeded to the throne, he still had some ability. He successively conquered the territory of several nearby Chammen, expanded the territory of Linyi Kingdom a lot. Now he has set his sights on the world of our Han Dynasty, which is not unreasonable."

Shi Xie is a native of Jiaozhou and the prefect of Cangwu. Although he doesn't know much about Rinan County, the information about these things can still be found in other scholars.

"So that's it. It seems that he is still a hero of a generation, but it's a pity that he met me!"

After hearing Shi Xie's explanation, Liu Zheng still had some clear understanding of the Linyi Kingdom. Although this small country is even the size of a county, it caused quite a lot of trouble to Liu Zheng.

After understanding the other party's men and their location, Liu Zheng did not even pause and directly asked Xu Huang to gather directly on the edge of Jiuzhen County and Rinan County.

Bijing County, this is a county town between Jiuzhen County and Rinan County.

It was the last county town of the Han Dynasty led by Fan Yi to attack by the army of 20,000. Among the county towns, there were only more than 10,000 people. Fan Yi massacred a small half of the population and entered the city, showing his strength.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, and he won another city. This time, when he returns to the capital, the prince will definitely be rewarded by the king, and he may be able to inherit the throne directly!"

In Bijing County, Fan Yi was arresting some women captured from Bijing County and rewarding them to his subordinates. The subordinates were very happy and immediately complimented Fan Yi.

"Hahaha, what is Linyi's country? When I pacify this Jiaozhou and conquer the Han court, I will be the king of this Han world!"
