Great Qin in the north.

Because of the distance, Liu Zheng's spies, in the past few days, the information they probed is not particularly clear.

On the contrary, I know more about Yan Baihu and Yama Taiguo.

This Yamatai country was originally the largest indigenous country on the island of Kyushu.

In fact, this indigenous country does not need spies to explore, and Liu Zheng can also learn something about it, and he is real in history.

As early as in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, there is a record of the golden seal given by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty to the envoy of the Wa Kingdom.

Chen Shou of the Jin Dynasty wrote "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, and Biography of the Wa People" in which about 2,000 words were used to introduce the situation of the Wa Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms era. As mentioned in this article, there was a large queen kingdom called "Yamadai Province" in the northeastern part of the Japanese island of Kyushu at that time, with more than 30 small countries under it.

The queen who rules the country is "Himiko". According to the book, although the Yamadai Kingdom has had men as kings in successive dynasties, after sixty or seventy years of war, they installed Himiko as queen.

Himiko is good at confusing the people with ghosts and gods, and although he is very old, he is not married, and only his younger brother assists the government. No outsider had ever been able to see her since Himiko became king, and only a thousand ladies and a man who delivered food had entered and left the palace.

These news are roughly the same as the news sent out by Liu Zheng.

Because Liu Zheng's subordinates don't understand the local language, they can only know a little about the news of Yamatai, and they don't know much about it.

For Yan Baihu's news, there are more of them.

When Yan Baihu arrived on Kyushu Island, it was during the civil strife among many tribes in Yamatai on Kyushu Island.

He took the opportunity to win over two of the more powerful tribes, and used his advanced culture and power to start the conquest of Kyushu Island.

In just four years, Yan Baihu easily occupied most of Kyushu Island.

Originally, those small tribes on Kyushu Island were not Yan Baihu's opponents at all.

If the entire Yamatai Kingdom is united, it is still possible to confront Yan Baihu, but there are only some scattered small tribes, and the Yamatai at this time is the time for infighting.

Yan Baihu took advantage of the weakness and immediately wiped out most of the tribes, turning all the people of those tribes into slaves.

Today, Yan Baihu has occupied most of Kyushu Island and is powerful.

Although there were still only more than 10,000 Han people brought over from the Han Dynasty, he had at least 40,000 or 50,000 local indigenous slave troops.

These people let Yan Baihu control and sweep across the entire island of Kyushu, so that the Yamatai Kingdom, which was originally controlled by Himiko, also began to disintegrate a little.

Liu Zheng didn't particularly care about the natives of Yamatai, he came to Kyushu Island completely for Yan Baihu.

Yan Baihu, the fish that slipped through the net, must be eliminated, otherwise after Yan Baihu becomes bigger and stronger on Kyushu Island, he will definitely not give up, and will definitely find a way to continue to invade the Han Dynasty.

Instead of waiting for Yan Baihu to counterattack at that time, it is better to eliminate Yan Baihu before Yan Baihu is fledgling.

"Your Majesty, our spies have found out clearly, that Yan Baihu is in a place called Kumamoto on Kyushu Island, temporarily serving as a lair, with 30,000 troops stationed, and there are about 10,000 slave troops in Kashima, Nagasaki and other places."

"So, Yan Baihu already has an army of 50,000 here?"

"The 50,000 army is only the minimum number, and there is a certain number of navies, but we still don't know where it is, and Yan Baihu's specific whereabouts have not been detected for the time being."

"Well, I understand, this matter can't be rushed, let's gain a foothold on Kyushu Island first, Zhou Tai, you lead an army of 20,000 people, go to land first, and lay down the closest city to us, and then, we use this city as a base to continue to expand to Kyushu Island, and we must take the entire Kyushu Island within half a year."

Liu Zheng gave an order to Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai and Zu Lang immediately agreed.

Zhou Tai is the main force of the attack, and Zulang's men and horses have not been dispatched for the time being, leading more than 10,000 reserve troops to stand by here for the time being.

Liu Zheng doesn't need to go to the battlefield to direct the battle in person, and his current status no longer requires him to go to the front line of the battlefield to fight in person.

This is not only because of his status, but also because if an emperor like him fights with the enemy army on the opposite side, he will not lose his value, and he will also rob his generals of the credit.

It is also a good choice to give these things to the people under them to do, so that they can be motivated to obtain some military merits.

At this time, Fukuoka Castle on the island of Kyushu.

Here are some cities in the north, which are considered the royal capital of the Yamatai Kingdom.

Yan Baihu attacked Kyushu Island for a long time, and finally did not hit this side, after all, this is the largest number of soldiers and horses among the many natives of Yamatai, and it is also the most difficult to deal with.

In the royal capital, the acting king Himimaru sat on a throne stacked with animal bones.

looked at the ministers under him, one was called Urban Niu Li, and the other was called Nansheng Rice.

These two are Himimaru's most trusted subordinates.

"My lord, those Han people came over again a few days ago. One of our tribes was destroyed by him again. ”

"This is already the second tribe that has been wiped out by those Han bandits this month."

On the island of Kyushu, civilization is not particularly developed, and it is still in a tribal system, although there are royal castles and some small cities, but most of them are still in the form of villages, with a chieftain and hundreds or even thousands of people.

These chiefs nominally believed in the queen of Himiko.

It's just that Himiko doesn't care about things, and it's Himiko's younger brother Himimaru who is usually in charge of managing the entire Yamatai country.

Don't look at the age of Himimaru, but he is ruthless, a few years ago, when Yamatai was in civil turmoil, but Himimaru single-handedly brought together dozens of tribes under his command and pacified the fragmented Yamatai Kingdom.

However, it is also because of the foreign enemy of Yan Baihu that these natives on Kyushu Island can work together at this time.

Nansheng Mi's face was not good-looking, and he wanted to persuade Bei Mimaru to use troops against Yan Baihu and other Han people.

"In the past few years, those Han people have become less and less regarded as human beings, in addition to capturing our people, to build cities, but also to let their people kill each other, acting as the king, if these people are allowed to continue to do evil, our people will suffer."

Nanshengmi's proposal did not arouse the interest of Himimaru.

Himimaru just smiled coldly.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of, it's just some Han people who have been expelled, it's useless, just having them, and it can also help us eliminate those tribes who don't have a heart for us, which is also good."
