Chapter 581: The Battle of Jiaozhou

Cao Cao is fast enough here. But someone moved faster than him. That is Sun Ce. After discussing with his father Sun Jian, he left Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu and others to defend the river in preparation for Guan Yu. Then he led Yu Tuo, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and others to the south to Jiaozhou.

Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju and the titular Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Lai Gong at this time were both appointed by Liu Biao. The four brothers of the Shi family also serve as the Taishou of the four counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Hepu and Nanhai. The true king of Cochin. Nanhai Taishou is a warrior, and when he heard that the soldiers from Yangzhou were coming, he urgently sent a letter to his eldest brother Shixie. After receiving the letter, Shi Xie sighed: "I have been here in Jiaozhou for nearly 20 years. In the midst of the chaos, he made every effort to protect several counties, so that the territory was quiet for more than ten years, and the people were not unemployed. Now that the Yangzhou soldiers are coming, I can't bear to see the people leave the chaos, and they can surrender. So he went to Shiwu and ordered him to surrender.

So Nanhai Taishou Shiwu went out of the city to Sun Ce's camp to ask for surrender. Sun Ce was overjoyed, greeted him in person, and asked Shiwu if he could ask for anything? Shiwu said: "There is nothing else to ask for, I hope the general will treat the people well." ”

Shiwu also explained the attitude of the Shi family to Sun Ce: "Jiaozhi has been isolated from Huaxia for a long time, and the eldest brother has sent a letter, ordering us to open the city to welcome the general. As for Cangwu, Yulin, and Rinan, it is still necessary for the general to take it himself. "As soon as the attitude of the Shi family was clear, Sun Ce won the four counties without spending a single soldier. How not to like. So he treated the warriors very thickly. He asked Shiwu if he was willing to go to Yangzhou to serve. Shiwu is also honest, and he is already the general's minister, and the general is in charge of everything.

Sun Ce was very satisfied with Shiwu and still kept Shiwu as the Taishou of the South China Sea. and marched to Cangwu again. Cangwu guarded Wu Ju too much, and knew that Jingzhou was divided by the Cao and Wu families. So he joined Yulin Taishou and raised troops to resist. Where did Sun Ce put Wu Ju in his eyes, and with the cooperation of Shiwu, he should cooperate with the outside and break through Guangxin City. Wu Ju died in battle, and Yulin Taishou was captured and beheaded by Sun Ce. As a result, the two counties of Cangwu and Yulin were immediately pacified. The news reached Ninan, and Nichinan Taishou had anything else to say, so if he didn't say a word, he would like to attach. After more than a month, all states were flat. Sun Ceyou was not satisfied. After learning that Ninan County had been occupied by the barbarians, he couldn't help but be furious and said, "The land of China is not allowed to be taken by barbarians." Then he sent troops to the south.

What's going on? In the second year of Yonghe, that is, in 137 AD, the Cham people rebelled. Oulian was originally Gongcao of Xianglin County, Ninan County. I don't know if it's because I'm being ostracized by the Han people or if I have a hot brain. He led thousands of people of the Zhan tribe to attack Xianglin County, and between the elbows and armpits, the Xianglin County Commander did not expect his subordinates to stab him in the back, and he was killed by the district company if he was not prepared. Oulian then swept through the entire Ilnan County and proclaimed himself the "King of Linyi". At that time, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Fan Yan was furious when he heard the letter, and more than 10,000 soldiers from Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County were sent to the conquest. The Han army was reluctant to go to a place where the weather was so hot that the birds didn't poop, so there was a mutiny, and Fan Yan was defeated. After the news reached Luoyang, Emperor Shun of Han wanted to send a total of 40,000 troops from Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan to suppress it, but was persuaded by the minister Li Gu. Ou Lian also knew that the behemoth of the Han Dynasty could not be provoked. He didn't dare to offend the Han people to death. So it didn't take long for him to negotiate peace with Jiaozhou Thorn History. How to negotiate peace, that is, with Lurong as the boundary, and the Ninan County south of Lurong is connected to the district. The Rinan County north of Lurong was returned to the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty was also at this time when there was no money. Thinking about such a little place in such a distant place, I forgot it, and didn't bother with the district. As a result, Oulian established the state of Linyi in Xianglin, south of Ninam-gun, with Brahmins as the state religion. It has been passed down to the present day.

Heavily influenced by Indian and Han cultures, the Cham people used both the Nantianzhu script and Chinese characters, embraced both Brahmanism and Buddhism, worshipped gods such as Shiva and Vishnu, and adopted a caste system. During the reign of the Han Dynasty, he learned various production techniques such as building cities and making weapons. Ivory, rhino horn, ebony and other exotic objects are produced here. It was a sea route connecting Southeast Asia, West Asia and other places through the Han Dynasty, accounting for people to engage in the maritime transit trade between China and Southeast Asia, India and West Asia, and made great profits. Therefore, although the country of Linyi is small, it is very wealthy. It's just that he didn't die, and he hadn't enjoyed it for decades, but he ran into Sun Ce, a disaster star.

King Linyi knew that the Han Dynasty had sent troops to attack, and he couldn't help but be shocked. At this time, it was only a few decades before the rebellion, and the strong image of the Han people had not yet faded. Unlike more than a hundred years later, Linyi was a small country that dared to take the initiative to raise troops to attack the Eastern Wu and Western Jin Dynasty. King Linyi hurriedly mobilized his people to resist the Han army.

After Sun Ce arrived, he found that what greeted him here was a Linyi elephant army. Sun Ce fought in the south and the north, fought a lot of battles, large and small, and saw such a neat elephant soldier for the first time. Seeing the soldiers facing this herd of elephants, with fear on their faces, Sun Ce couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, it's over, this battle is not easy to fight.

And so it is. When hundreds of elephants lined up screamed loudly and launched a cluster charge towards Sun Ce's army, these behemoths quickly broke through the hearts of the Yangzhou soldiers. Elephants are not slow to run, they stride forward, squeezing forward with their heavy bodies, and the arrows do not seem to have much effect on them. The war elephant flicked its nose wildly, throwing the soldiers into the air like scarecrows. It brought unbearable psychological deterrence to the Yangzhou soldiers. A fast-moving high wall, just like this, rushed into the Yangzhou soldiers' military formation, and then began to wreak havoc. The sight was terrifying.

The Yangzhou soldiers fled in a big rout. Even Sun Ce was helpless, so he could only run with the troops. When the king of Linyi saw that he had won the Han army in the first battle, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly cheered with the soldiers.

Sun Cebing retreated ten miles, and he could be able to retract his troops. Then he gathered all the generals together to discuss how to deal with the elephants. Sun Ce's face was ugly, he came to attack Linyi, representing not only Yangzhou, but the entire Central Plains Dynasty. As a result, he suffered defeat in the first battle, how could he, who had always been arrogant, accept it. He secretly made up his mind in his heart not to break the country of Linyi and vowed not to give up.

Although it's autumn, the place is still extremely hot. Sun Ce unfastened his armor and sat under the tree, feeling the oncoming breeze. Ask the generals for advice.

Fortunately, the people he brought are not only strong in martial arts, but also not too stupid in their brains. After talking nonsense, they discussed a lot of ways to come out. Arrows don't hurt the elephant enough, so let's switch to a spear! The sergeant is afraid of the elephant, and the bravest dead soldier in front of the faction! It's too scary for elephants to line up and charge, okay, let's have fewer people in the middle, arrange more people on both wings, and then the military formation is not so dense, and the ranks are a little bit apart, and there are fewer people. Melee soldiers such as Sword and Shield Men are removed and replaced with ranged pikemen and spearmen! I don't believe that I can't defeat Lin Yiguo.

Facts have proved that all these summed up experiences are effective tactics for dealing with elephant soldiers.
