Lao Tzu's voice came faintly: "This is the demon's true blood. Eat it to make up for your shortcomings. This fire is burning well!"
Then the blue light in the sky disappeared.
After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu destroyed the Roman army of one million, they originally planned to return north. However, news came that Shanyue Renqu Company, who was originally a meritorious officer of Xianglin County, Rinan County, assassinated Xianglin County.
He ordered him to establish himself as the king of Linyi, and with Hengshan as the boundary, he became independent!
At the southernmost point of the Wei Dynasty, there were originally Jiuzhen County and Rinan County. They were separated by Hengshan Mountain, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the past, the Shanyue people were entrenched here, and there were always signs of invading north.
It was captured by Qin Shihuang in the past, and was later destroyed by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. After hundreds of years of development, the Shanyue people here have gradually recovered.
The magistrate of Xianglin County was originally a Han, but he took advantage of the chaos in the world to exercise power and extort money. Therefore, he was assassinated by Qu Lian, who was revered as the leader.
Xianglin County is rich in resources. It is not only one of the supply places of paper raw materials, but also a place where elephants roam. The imperial court's wat boards and some rewards are all made of ivory. It is very important to the Wei Dynasty.
The effect is not small.
When Zhou Yu heard about it, he was immediately furious.
"Bo Fu, go back now. I'm afraid His Majesty will have to call us here again. Why don't we just stay a few more days and kill this group of people to avoid endless troubles in the future!"
Sun Ce nodded: "I'm worried that I haven't killed enough. These people are simply looking for death!"
The two men immediately led the army to the west, landed directly from Rinan County, and headed straight for Xianglin County!
District Company sent people to stop them along the way and led them to retreat into the mountains.
Although the Shanyue people have multiplied for hundreds of years, the total number of people now is less than 200,000, and the soldiers are less than 20,000!
When Sun Ce saw the three thousand soldiers and horses deployed along the way, he stopped the army and rushed in alone. As soon as the iron gun shook, blood began to spray all around. The Shanyue people were at a loss and could not deal with such a terrifying general. Soon
He was killed.
"It's too bad. It's not fun to kill at all!" Sun Ce complained repeatedly.
When they arrived at Xianglin County, they saw that the place was almost deserted, except for a few old people who couldn't leave and stayed here waiting to die.
"Where have all your people gone?" Zhou Yu immediately went up to ask.
Although some of those old people had guts and wanted to protect their families, many of them died without their families and directly reported on them.
Sun Ce looked at the dense mountains and forests around him and couldn't help but feel a headache: "Gong Jin, there are only mountains and forests here. Where can we find them? Even if we look for ten or eight years, we may not be able to find them! When we leave,
This group of people will be able to come out and cause trouble again!"
Zhou Yu immediately laughed: "If they don't come out, then set fire to this place and see where they hide! But talk to them well first, and then talk to them if they don't obey."
Zhou Yu posted a message in the mountains, telling Ou Lian that as long as he surrendered, everything would be easy to discuss. If he continued in the mountains, the place would be burned down.
The Ou Company was actually not far from Zhou Yu's army, and had been closely monitoring the movements of the Wei army. Seeing the serious military appearance of Zhou Yu and his party, they did not dare to invade easily.
Later, someone saw the memorandum and showed it to Ou Lian.
After Ou Lian looked at it, he sneered: "Brothers, the dog officer of the Wei Dynasty wants us to surrender. Do you think we should agree?"
"No! Fight with them!"
"Kill them!"
"Destroy the Wei Dynasty!"
The people around him were more ruthless than others, and some even threatened to destroy Wei.
Ou Lian smiled: "Destroying Dawei is a bit difficult, there is no need to fight with them! They are not used to living here, and they don't have much to eat. I estimate that they will leave in half a month at most. Wait for them
Once we leave, this is still our world!"
The surrounding Shanyue people applauded again.
Zhou Yu waited for two days but saw no movement. Sun Ce laughed and said, "Gong Jin, did you miscalculate this time? This Shanyue person doesn't give you face."
Zhou Yu was also angry: "These guys, I'm afraid they didn't see the scene where millions of Romans were buried in the sea of fire! Today I will detonate this Rinan County with fire, leaving them nowhere to escape!"
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led the army out of Xianglin County, retreated to the sea, and returned to the ship.
Ou Lian, who had followed all the way from the shore, immediately rushed out with his people, pointing at Zhou Yu and the others, and laughing from time to time.
"I was about to give them a rain of arrows!" Sun Ce held the big bow with murderous intent on his face.
Zhou Yu shook his head: "That's not necessary, just burn out their retreat with fire!
He used his talent again, and the sky was filled with fire clouds. The people in Shanyue thought that the god was angry, and they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, praying to God for forgiveness.
However, Zhou Yu directly dropped the fire cloud and ignited a large number of trees on the shore.
The fire was so intense that Ou Lian could not retreat, so many tribesmen had no choice but to jump into the water with him and plan to swim back.
Sun Ce immediately showed a cold expression: "Gong Jin, do you want to shoot them?"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "Let them swim, this place is a sea of fire, what will happen if they go back, this Rinan County will be scorched black in a few years!"
The woods here are extremely dense, one after another, and the fire inside has spread to more than a county.
It was impossible to extinguish such a fire. The weather was dry at this time and people in Shanyue could only watch the fire engulfing large areas of forest and farmland.
The fields they had cultivated so hard were burned to the ground, their houses were burnt down, and even the wild fruits in the forest were completely burned away.
Half a month later, heavy rains fell and the mountain fire was finally extinguished. However, almost all the places where the Shanyue people used to live were burned down.
At this time, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had returned to Xuchang. The army that went to the grassland to conquer the Parthians had also returned. Even Zhuge Liang and others who were stationed in the west were recalled together.
In the court hall, Zhao Feng held a grand celebration banquet for everyone while talking to them about his new ideas.
"This time, our duel with the Romans can be said to be a complete victory. Kong Ming wiped out all the top forces of the Romans, Gongsun Zan wiped out all the cavalry of the Roman Empire, and Sun Ce wiped out all the Roman navy's millions.
Destroyed at sea! Looks like we should be celebrating.”
Everyone was stunned: shouldn't it be like this?
"You don't need to be nervous. We must win this battle. You have done a good job. But at the same time, I also thought, if we continue to fight like this, how many Romans will be left?"
"Everyone must know that our ultimate goal is to enslave them and let them do things for us and trade with us. Think about the huge profits from trading silk in the past. Now we can trade many more things. The cheap things we have here can be exchanged for
We will bring a huge amount of wealth, so I think we can change our approach to conquer Rome?"
If it were in the past, everyone would not have a deep understanding of the role of commerce, but now, those present here are all the top figures of the Wei Dynasty. They can know from a macro perspective how much business has played a big role in the Wei Dynasty recently.
effect!
Nowadays, the people of Wei Dynasty live a prosperous life, and because of the development of commerce, there are many things in life that were rarely seen before.
