Chapter 107 - Invasion of the Founan
Huo Jun and his men had already arrived at Yu Lin County, so we went to welcome him.
Huo Jun bowed to me and said, "Greetings, my lord!" I immediately supported him up: "General Huo, you've worked hard! General Huo, please rise! " Huo Jun stood up and said, "Master knows that Zhang Jiao has used a treacherous scheme to incite our Founan to attack Shi Xie! I think Shi Xie will definitely ask for help from Master! "
I asked worriedly, "Are you serious? Founan is really coming to attack? " Huo Jun's face turned grim. It was obvious that he was worried about that. "That's right!" This news is absolutely true! " I had to take this matter seriously: "Looks like I have to guard against the Founan! Second Brother, may I trouble you to investigate and see how powerful the Founan is! " If Chen Zhi doesn't answer me, then it's obvious that he doesn't think so. I heaved a heavy sigh, and Li Xiong said to Li Gang: "Quickly send someone to investigate the information about the Founan!" Li Gang cupped his hands: "Yes!" Li Gang went down.
Li Xiong said: "I heard that the Founan ride on elephants to fight. We need to think of a way to defend against the enemy! I predicted that Shi Xie would definitely send people over to us to ask for help! " I righteously said, "No matter what, with the invasion of the other races, as the descendants of the Yan Huang Clan, Shi Xie and I need to give up our past grudges to fight against the enemies together!"
I asked Chen Zhi: "Second brother, how is our national power?" Chen Zhi didn't seem to want to reply to me at all. It was only after I shouted several times and everyone was looking at him, that he was forced to say slowly, "We have Yu Lin, Cangwu, and even though there are hundreds of thousands of citizens, our military strength is only twenty-two thousand! If we were to say that you are going to save Shi Xie, if you were to send more troops, it is possible for someone to seize the opportunity and take our three counties. If you don't contribute too much, it won't be much help to Shi Xie! "You should think about it first!"
I sighed and said, "We're still too weak! But no matter what, I have to send troops to help Shi Xie, because he is also a descendant of the Yan Huang Sect! I have decided that I will lead 12,000 people to set off for Shi Xie, leaving 10,000 people to guard the three counties! " Everyone looked at me. "Yes!"
Zhang Tie came in at this moment, and when Zhang Tie came in he immediately said: "Fourth brother, Shi Xie has sent his little brother Shi Yi to meet you!" I heard it and I said, "Okay! Then let's invite Shi Yi! "
After Shi Yi entered and paid respects, he said, "The Founan has sent troops to attack us in a large scale. Please consider the fact that we are both of the burly man's race, my brother asked Lord Fan to lend a helping hand. I wonder if Lord Fan would be able to send troops?" Without hesitation, I stood up and answered Shi Yi: "Okay! I will immediately send troops to help you repel the foreign enemies! " My straightforward reply was out of Shi Yi's expectations. Shi Yi quickly returned to his normal state and cupped his fists. As the military situation is urgent, this one will take my leave first! " I nodded and said, "Okay! General Shi, I will send troops to save you! "
Shi Yi then turned and left …
My brother said to me, "My lord, who will you leave to guard the land of three counties?" I said, "Second Brother, General and General Li Gang will stay behind to guard the three counties. I will not worry at all!"
Han Cheng said to me in a low voice, "Huo Jun is a bandit and also a new leader. Is he really loyal?" I said to Han Cheng, "General Han, don't worry, I won't misjudge anyone!"
I turned around and said to everyone, "Enough!" Everyone, prepare to send out your troops! " Everyone raised their arms and shouted, "Good! "Alright!"
Jiang Residence. Jiang Ren asked with a serious expression: "What! Is this true? Fan Li wanted to help Shi Xie attack the Founan? And even let Chen Zhi defend three countries? Is this true? Fast! Say it! " Jiang Jing said, "It's all true! Father! It's absolutely true! " Jiang Ren laughed, "This is great! Fan Li! Fan Li, this time you really won't be able to return! Chen Zhi already wants to kill you but later on, as long as I take the opportunity to incite Chen Zhi, these three countries will no longer belong to you! But the one in front of you is a FN that is ten times stronger than you, how can a strong FN contend against you when you have no base? Haha! I won't miss such a golden opportunity! If the heavens want you dead, then don't blame me! "
My great army has arrived in front of Shi Xie's camp. Shi Xie brought his men to welcome me.
I got down from the horse and smiled as I cupped my hands in salute to Shi Xie. "There is no need for Master to come here yourself! Subordinate is really sorry! " Shi Xie laughed and said: "What subordinate! Don't say that again! Don't say that! You are not my subordinate in my eyes! " I was alarmed. "Isn't Senior Shi trying to kill me by saying that?" Subordinate really doesn't dare to accept it! " Shi Xie laughed loudly.
I got serious and asked, "Sir, which position do you want me to place the defenses on?" Shi Xie laughed and said: "My right wing, General Zhang Min is on your left side, and on your right is an uninhabited and dangerous mountain range. I wonder if this will work? " I cupped my hands and said, "Okay! Let us use our mutual advantage to defend against the FN! "This subordinate will take his leave first and set up camp in case of danger!" "Alright!" Shi Xie sent me off …
The Establishment and the Founan's armies had clashed. I shouted, "King Founan!" I, Fan Li, am truly courteous! " "You are that Fan Xian!" He studied me carefully. I smiled and replied, "I am indeed! I wonder why the King wants to lead troops to invade the land of my big man? My big size and Founan have always been friendly nations! "
Pan gave a cold laugh and said, "Friendly countries, what are you calling friendly countries if you want to take over my territory? Humph! If I don't make the first move, my kingdom will fall! Charge! Wolves! Kill all those Chinese! " Following the order from Yue Yang, the soldiers of Founan rushed forward, some of them riding on elephants straight up. I wanted to continue speaking, but based on the situation, I couldn't continue speaking! Because the enemy had already charged forward!
I had over a thousand elite soldiers lead a hundred wood carvings of a colourful beast, each of which had ten soldiers mounted on it. At this time, the True Beasts of the Founan saw the huge beast in the Establishment array spew out flames, and black smoke came out their noses. Coming with bared fangs and brandished claws, those True Beasts were extremely afraid. It turns out that I had already put fireworks in the mouths of those colourful beasts, so I could spit out flames from their mouths.
The Founan's elephants and other wild beasts did not dare to advance and ran back. Instead, they knocked down many of the soldiers and trampled many of them to death. FN was defeated!
Under the circumstances, he led the defeated troops and retreated for tens of miles before leaving for the stronghold. I'm going back to camp.
Several days later, Li Xiong said to me: "Fourth brother, the enemy army hasn't made any movements in the past few days, could it be that they are plotting something?" I said, "I also think the silence is terrible! Fast! Bring me the map! " The map was brought and placed in front of me. I was shocked when I saw it. "The enemy is plotting a sneak attack! The enemy army will use a large amount of troops to circle around the mountain area to the right of our army and attack them together with the troops in front of the Zhang Min army, thus eating up the Zhang Min Tribe! Fast! A pigeon sent a message to Shi Xie! Tell him to take precautions! "
Zhang Tie said: "Even if Shi Xie knew that the enemies on our lines of defense would join hands with our own allies to attack Zhang Min, he would definitely understand that he wanted us to face off against the main force of the FN. But with such a roundabout way of attack from the FN, he placed Zhang Min onto the most intense battlefield! We can take the opportunity to attack, then defeat the remaining enemies in front of us before we proceed to attack the FN together with Shi Xie's remaining troops! Shi Xie definitely wanted to conserve his strength and not stake it all on himself for nothing! Because of this, Shi Xie will definitely force Zhang Min, who is on our left, to retreat! Furthermore, with the retreat of Zhang Min's troops, we will break through the defenses on the left side of the army, allowing the Founan to surround us and eat all of our 12,000 men! When we fight with the Founan and both of us get hurt, it will be time for him to take advantage of us! We cannot let Shi Xie's scheme succeed! Why don't we just withdraw? "
I sighed. "We can't go! If we were to retreat, Founan's main force would be able to advance forward and join together with the other troops to attack Shi Xie's army. It is extremely possible that Shi Xie's army would be annihilated by the Founan, so after we eliminate Shi Xie's army, the Founan would be able to slowly face our lone army. After we are wiped out by the FN, the southern territories of the big men will no longer be big men! Even if we all die in battle, allowing Shi Xie to reap the rewards, he is still a Chinese! At the very least, the burly man's territory was under the Chinese rule! I would rather die than do such a thing as betraying my brothers and losing my land! This battle, we have to fight! "
Everyone sighed and shook their heads, because everyone knew that being surrounded by an enemy army that was close to ten times stronger was very, very difficult to fight. Furthermore, the chances of being completely annihilated by the enemy army were very high.
Shi Xie Army Commander's Tent. Note 2) Shi Yu entered and said: "Big Brother! Something terrible had happened! Our Zhang Min Tribe's troops on the left side of Establishment have suffered an attack from over 20,000 Founan's soldiers! " Shi Xie was shocked, "What! This … This was absolutely impossible! How did FN get there? " Shi Wu said: "I believe that FN must have circled around the mountains to my right and attacked us from a roundabout way!" Shi Xie gnashed his teeth, "Damn it! Originally, I wanted Fan Li to bear the brunt of the attack, and block it by himself using the FN's main force! Fighting to the death with the FN! However, he never expected it to turn out like this! How hateful! I never thought it would turn out like this! "
Shi Wu then asked: "Big brother, what do you plan to do?" Shi Xie thought for a while and said, "A situation like this will only turn into two different situations! Firstly, to not let Zhang Min retreat, and continue to suppress the enemy. Afterwards, our army and the Establishment will attack together and attack the FN. As a result, Zhang Min Department will definitely be annihilated by the enemies. Our army will first engage in an intense battle with the FN and then let the Fan Li Army reap the benefits.
Before Shi Wu could finish his sentence, Shi Yu interrupted him and said, "This plan is definitely not feasible!" Shi Xie understood more than anyone else in his heart. Shi Xie said, "There is another scenario that can cause Zhang Min Tribe to retreat quickly. Make the FN surround the Establishment, and allow the FN to eliminate all of them. Then we can take this opportunity to attack the exhausted FN! Even though this plan was a good one, it would disappoint everyone! And it would cause twelve thousand people from the Establishment to die on the battlefield! "Sigh!"
Shi Wu said: "Big brother, let Fan Li and the others look! They were all dead, so what if they gained fame or reputation!? So what if they became patriotic heroes! If they died because of it, then wouldn't that be completely unquestionable? Because of this, we can take back Yu Lin, Cangwu, and the other three countries! What's more, in this chaotic world, how could there not be people dying?! To be merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself! This was a godsend opportunity, he couldn't afford to lose it! Brother! "Big brother!" Si Wenhua also said, "That's right! "Brother, please do as fourth brother says!" Shi Xie slammed his fist on the table fiercely. After making up his mind, he shouted, "Fan Li, you can't blame me! In this chaotic world, there is no such thing as love! " Shi Xie turned around and said to Shi Yu: "Quickly send my order, Zhang Min will bring all of his men to retreat!" Shi Yu was ecstatic, "Yes! "Big brother!"

[Note 1]: Founan is the current Cambodia. This country is very big, and its territory once developed to the south of Wuzhou in Guangxi. This country pays tribute to the Han Dynasty. She was the then Founan King and had passed away in her nineties. I wrote about the invasion of the Founan because this country's territory had developed to the southern part of Wuzhou in Guangxi! Hehe...
[Note 2]: The real name of a scholar is Huang You. According to a wild history that I've read, he was called Yu, and his real name was Shi Yu. Thus, I used the name Shi Yu in my novels. I am grateful to have your readers know that there is a real name in the historical data, and that you can tell me your real name. In the "Records of the Three Kingdoms", Shi Yu only wrote that there was a reason. Also, in the "Records of the Three Kingdoms", many people wrote their surnames and words, not knowing what their names were. Just like Cui Weizheng, Liu Zihui. This little brother's knowledge is too shallow, I really don't know his name! I can only ask you guys how old you are.
