Chapter 72 Who's Who's Count

Not long after the Yue sailors landed, Fan Man knew the news, and he immediately sent Monaco to fight. Fan Man's plan is to contact the pioneers of the Vietnamese sailors. If the other party's strength is poor, then kill them directly. If the other party's strength is strong, fight and retreat, lead them to the ambush circle, do not kill them, be trapped, and then use fishing tactics to lure more Yue people, until the end most of the Yue sailors. Seduced into the trap.

Mana wanted to make a contribution in his private heart, especially when he retreated as soon as he came into contact with the other party, but he never expected that this group of less large Yue Guos sailors were not only strong, but also super strong. When he found that he had been tricked, the other party had surrounded him. The number of people on both sides is about the same, but the combat effectiveness of the other side is obviously not comparable to that of others. Although he brought the elite of his country, in the face of these well-equipped, skilled swordsmanship and tacit cooperation, they still have no strength. In the time of Mana's stunned time, the other party has completed the encirclement, and Quickly shrink the encirclement smaller and smaller.

Although winning a battle has come to nothing, even the temptation of the enemy has become out of reach. It seems that there is only one way to be completely annihilarated. Mana regretted it for the first time, and his confidence in Fan Man was shaken. Of course, Fan Man's strategy was smart, but the other party was not a fool. They swallowed the bait in one bite, but they did not take the bait.

Looking at the people who were killed by their opponents, killing pigs and dogs one by one, Monaco was depressed. He had also fought for so many years and had seen many fierce opponents, but he killed people like this neatly, and his expression was so indifferent. It was the first time he saw these opponents wearing chest armor. The opponent doesn't seem to be killing people, but killing chickens.

After a moment of hesitation, several ethnic groups died at the hands of the other party. Mana couldn't hold on for long, so he raised his hands and surrendered.

The battle was soon over, so fast that Zhou Yin didn't react. These barbarians came aggressively. Why did the casualties surrender before the third achievement? Is the will to fight too bad? He didn't think about it. Although Monna also fought a lot of battles, the most powerful soldiers he saw were Fan Man's guard, but compared with the destruction camp, Fan Man's guard was not at the same level at all, whether it was equipment or killing skills. From the contact between the two sides to the current effort of the most meals, at least 200 people have been put down by them. This speed of killing is unheard of, and Mana can't help but be scared.

Although Zhou Yin regrets that he has not yet waved his knife and the battle is over, he also knows that it is the highest level to win without fighting. At present, it is not the time to fall in love with war. After all, these barbarians are not real chickens. If they are trapped in the beasts and fight back desperately, they will inevitably cause unnecessary casualties.

"Call that... that monkey over." Zhou Yin pointed to Monaco, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, hooked his fingers. Two strong soldiers walked over and kicked away the sword raised by Monaco's hands. One held his arm and pulled him in front of Zhou Yin. Mana was very well-behaved. As soon as he arrived in front of Zhou Yin, he held Zhou Yin's boots and kissed him several times in a row. The sailors of Yue Guo entered the countryside and followed the customs. After arriving in Funan, they all changed into cowhide sandals. Monaco kissed Zhou Yin's foot directly, which made him very uncomfortable. He gently kicked it, withdrew his leg, rubbed it on his calf, and shouted unhappily, "Say, where to come from, where to go, how many people, where is the old man Fan Man..."

Mena looked at Zhou Yin blankly and didn't understand a word. Zhou Yin said proudly for a long time before he found that Monaco's expression seemed to be a little wrong. He patted his head and felt a little sorry that none of them could speak Yiyu. Qin Sai, who Tongyiyu, was sent to the front by him to monitor them. After thinking about it, he didn't bother. He ordered someone to take Mana to the bay to meet Sun Shao. Sun Shao had several interpreters around him.

"Four thousand people?" After Sun Shao understood Monaco's hand, he took a breath and didn't say anything for a long time. He looked at Moana and Xia Houhui, who used to translate, and said dryly, "Are you translating wrong?"

Xia Houhui's little face also showed a look of shock. For the precaution, she asked Monaco in detail, and then nodded to Sun Shao affirmatively: "40,000 people, only a lot more, and more than a hundred war elephants. Among them, there are 30,000 soldiers from the state of Funan and 10,000 soldiers from the country.

"Funan actually requisitioned more than 20,000 soldiers?" Sun Shao smiled bitterly. It seemed that his popular offensive was not as good as he thought, but Fan Man tricked and laid a trap for him. If he was not alert because of hitting the reef and listened to the advice of Yuehai and others to go ashore to chase, he would be killed by Fan Man. Even if he broke out of the siege, more than 10,000 people would There will be heavy losses.

What a sinister old guy, Sun Shao scolded secretly and unconsciously rubbed the palm of his hand, which was full of sweat.

"Not only 20,000, but also part of it is in the special pastoral city." Xia Houhui whispered and reminded, "Thanks, I didn't choose to attack the city at the beginning, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

"You should say that fortunately, the Funan Marine Division has been completely annitied, otherwise, this bay will be our burial place." Sun Shao stood up and walked back and forth in front of the inexplicable Mona several times, fortunately.

Xia Houhui nodded with the same feeling. She walked to Sun Shao's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, what should I do now? What should I do with this person?"

Sun Shao smiled, turned around, looked at Moana with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said kindly, "I'm very happy that you can give up the secret. If you have any conditions, you can mention it now. I dare not say what a good day you have, but I can guarantee that you will definitely live a better life than Fan Man's.

Xia Houhui immediately translated it. When Mana heard this, he kowtowed happily. He licked his lips for a long time, and then cautiously made a few requests. Sun Shao thought for a moment and nodded in response. Monaco's requirements are actually not high. He knows that he is now a prisoner of war. He doesn't have much qualifications to ask for it. He can save his life and live a better life than Fan Man. He is already very satisfied.

Mona went down with satisfaction. Sun Shao immediately summoned Yuehai and others and informed them of the news he had just received. When Yuehai and others heard this, they were shocked and looked at each other and were very happy. When Sun Shao didn't agree with them to go ashore to pursue, they also felt that Sun Shao was too timid. Now it seems that it is not unreasonable for Sun Shao to be unbeaten. He is born with a sense of danger.

"What should I do now?" Dunwu asked.

"It doesn't matter." Sun Shao had calmed down. He smiled calmly and said, "Although Fan Man has 40,000 people, he has no sailor and can't enter the water to attack our army. Therefore, he can only hope to lure our army ashore. Now that we already know his details, will he be fooled by him? Not to mention that he only has 40,000 people. Even if he has 100,000 people, he can only stand on the beach and watch us. He looked at the crowd proudly: "Do Funan people still have strong crossbows and Thunderbolts that exceed the range of our army?"

Yuehai and others smiled and relaxed a little.

"Inspect Zhou Yin to be on guard. Once a large number of enemy troops attack, they will immediately retreat to the seaside and rely on our warships to counterattack. You should also be careful. Once the situation is wrong, return to the ship immediately.

"Oh." Everyone answered and went to prepare for it. After receiving the order, Zhou Yin couldn't help taking a breath. Thanks to Sun Shao's order that he was not allowed to chase five miles. If he wanted to keep chasing according to his own wishes, he would definitely not be able to come back this time.

... Fan Man looked at the eastern sky uneasily. Monaco was gone forever, and there was no news, which was unexpected. Monaco took a thousand people. Even if it was defeated, it would not be impossible to send back any news.

What happened? Is it ambushed by the Yue people and the whole army was destroyed?

Fan Man hesitated. The previous news sent back by the scouts said that there were only about 1,000 people ashore in the Yue sailors, but they could quickly solve the quiet and silent problem of Mana. The number of the other party should be at least 3,000 people, or even more than 5,000 people. It is normal for scouts to find faults on the battlefield. As long as they are human, they may make mistakes. Unexpected situations often happen, and this is the time to test the ability of a general.

If three or five thousand people on the other side are ashore, will they rush up and eat this group of people, or continue to wait? Fan Man thought for a long time and felt that he would continue to wait. The movement of the whole army not only had to give up the choice of a good position, but also the movement would be very loud. The other party would definitely find that it was likely to return to the sea in time, and he could only look at the sea and sigh.

In the middle of the night, Fan Man finally waited for the news of Monaco's capture. He was stunned for a long time and was speechless for a long time. He knew that although he could not compare with his own army, he also had some strength in the country, otherwise he would not have been allowed to act as bait. Now he was completely annihirated by the other party in a similar number of people, which was a big surprise to him.

Mona's capture not only failed the trap he laid, but also exposed his strength. Along the way, he tried his best to hide his strength, hoping to lure Sun Shao in and annihilate him. Now that Sun Shao has caught Mana, he must know these situations. Can he still come?

Fan Man finally decided to let his trusted general Ruan Wu stay on the position with 2,000 people, especially leaving a large number of scouts. If the other party does not take the initiative to attack and just send someone to spy on the news, try to intercept the other party's scouts, so that they think that there is still an ambush here. If the other party forcibly attacks, then the camera will retreat and avoid To avoid unnecessary casualties, he rushed to Jin Chen with the main force, which was only 300 miles away from Jin Chen. As long as Ruan Wu could delay Sun Shao here for a few days, he would have enough time to cooperate with Fan Jun to defeat Cui Qian and stabilize Jin Chen. Of course, even if he doesn't leave Ruan Wu, it will take more than ten days for Sun Shao to get out of Meng Nang Bay. Leaving Ruan Wu is just to increase insurance.

Fan Man finally glanced at the direction of Meng'ang Bay with regret and left quietly with the army. They walked very secretly. The nearby mountain forest was the place where Fan Man had fought countless times. He was familiar with the mountains and rivers here, just like being familiar with his palms. With his eyes closed, he could know which mountain and which jungle it was. The army walked silently. Five days later, he rushed to a place fifty miles away from Jin Chen and received the news. Fan Jun immediately came to meet him, and Wang Wugui of Jin and Chen came with him.

As soon as Wu Gui saw Fan Man, his forehead kept sweating. In front of the king of Funan, who had been rising in the sea for more than 30 years, Wu Gui, who had always pretended to be shrewd and did not dare to show off his intelligence. He knew that all his tricks were difficult to work in front of the king of Funan. The best way was to be honest. .

"You did a good job." Fan Man was a little tired, and the continuous march made him a little unbearable. The dizziness, which was only an occasional attack, has now become the norm, and he has to faint twice a day. However, in front of Wu Gui, he still behaved calmly: "Do the people of Yue know that you are here?"

"I know. I told them that I was here to spy on the king's military situation. They didn't doubt me." Wugui raised his arm, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and tried his best to make his smile look honest: "Their young messenger was very insidious. At the beginning, he lured General Fan to take action, and stabbed General Fan when General Fan was preparing. I dare not tell him such a big thing, otherwise he would find out."

"Very good." Fan Man nodded. The king's demeanor made him look very majestic. He waved his hand and did not intend to talk more with Wujiu. On the one hand, he maintained a sense of mystery as always. On the other hand, he did not want Wuji to find out his weakness. He was clear about Wuji's shrewdness. If Wujiu found that he was very weak now, he would definitely be able to fight against Funan. There are doubts about Shengyue. He said indisputably, "You step down first. We need to discuss how to deal with the Yue people and inform you at that time."

"Yes." Wugui knelt down and wanted to hold Fan Man's feet and kiss him according to the rules. Fan Man hesitated for a moment and still answered. Wugui made a kiss and retreated without raising his head. It was not until he was more than a dozen steps away from the big tent that he straightened up and took a long breath. Residering the pressure put on him just now, he sighed silently. It was still the Vietnamese people who were polite. After all, it was the cause of the state of etiquette. Although it was a little sinister to Fan Jun, he was still more polite to him. At least there was no sign of forcing him so far.

He stood outside and waited respectfully, but his heart was tossing. From the short contact just now, Wuji found Fan Man's weakness. The strong King Funan was a little abnormal this time, especially his legs, which seemed to have been trembling all the time. Although he trembled very slightly, he did not have the previous solid feeling that seemed to be born with the earth, which made Wuji have a trace of hesitation. He knew that the reason why Funan was so powerful was because Fan Man was alone. He knew Fan Jinsheng's two sons. Fan Jinsheng was brave, but he was resourceful. Fan Chang was very smart, but he was not decisive enough. In general, both of them inherited some of Fan Man's advantages, but no one could catch up with Fan Man. If it was peaceful, nothing happened. That's okay. Anyone can do it, but now the border is seized. If there is no strong heir, then Fan Man will die, and the powerful Funan Kingdom may fall apart.

As a vassal state of Funan, Jin Chen must consider his future. If Funan has a chance of winning, of course he will be a "loyal minister", but if Funan may not be guaranteed, he can't have no hesitation.

"You have to be blameless." As soon as Wu Gui made a big account, Fan Man's straight waist loosened. He pointed to Fan Jun and said something, but he felt a little short of breath. He withdrew his hand and covered his chest and coughed depressedly. Fan Jun was shocked, quickly stepped forward to support him, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you sick?"

"It's not sick, it's old." Fan Man smiled bitterly: "After so many years of fighting, I have a lot of old injuries. This time, I made a lot of effort to make a game, but it didn't work. I was a little anxious, so I couldn't stand it."

Fan Jun lowered his head, and Fan Man's plan was seamless, but even so, it didn't work, so I'm afraid he couldn't comment on it with wisdom. The Fan Dynasty was taken from the Hunshi. Although it has been 30 years, they have always felt a little uneasy. They believe in Brahmanism, and their fear of the gods is innate. If they do something wrong, they will always be a little uneasy. In the past, it had been smooth. They thought that the gods were blessing them. Once something went wrong, they would naturally doubt whether the gods had given up on them.

"It has nothing to do with God's will." Fan Man seemed to see Fan Jun's worry. He curled his lips and gasped: "It's a conspiracy."

"People's plan?" Fan Jun was stunned and didn't quite understand Fan Man's words. When it comes to people's strategy, can anyone's strategy surpass the King of Funan in front of him? He is the smartest person Fan Jun has ever seen. He fought all his life and rarely lost.

"Yes." Fan Man nodded, and her eyes were a little empty. She seemed to be saying to Fan Jun and seemed to be talking to herself: "I should have thought of a repressed young man who can establish a country in four or five years. How can he be an ordinary person? Unfortunately, I have never paid attention to him. I have always regarded him as a young man and made the mistake of taking the enemy lightly. This time in Meng'ang Bay, I blocked the waterway with a sunken ship. I thought he would go ashore to chase. With his strength, he had a great chance, but he didn't do so. He only sent a thousand people ashore to chase five miles, five miles..." Fan Man shook his head repeatedly and looked back at Fan Jun: "You said, if you met this In this case, will you only chase five miles?

Fan Jun pondered for a moment and shook his head. If he encountered this situation, he would definitely go ashore to chase him. The number of people on both sides was about the same, his strength was slightly superior, and the ship was blocked again. Why didn't he catch up and fight? In this way, it is the trap of Fan Man.

"I dare to say that whether it is you, Jin Sheng, A Chang, or A Yan who has died in the war, you will catch up." Fan Man smiled helplessly: "But this King Yue didn't chase him, and the trap I painstakingly arranged suddenly lost its effect."

Fan Jun's heart was heavy, and he felt Fan Man's pressure.

"I came to Jin Chen this time mainly to kill the king of Yue, but now that the plan has failed, we can only strive to save Jin Chen and reopen the way to the south." Fan Man sighed for a long time: "Ajun, what's your plan?"

Fan Junqiang smiled and was about to say modesty, but Fan Man put his hand on his hand and stared into his eyes: "Ajun, you know, although you and A Qian are not my sons, I have always treated you like Jin Sheng and A Chang. In front of me, don't say those polite words between kings and ministers.

Fan Jun was a little choked. They remembered Fan Man's kindness to these generals. Without Fan Man, there would be no glory and wealth of these people now. They are indeed different from the ordinary relationship between monarchs and ministers, with more family affection.

"Your Majesty, how dare I hide something in front of the king? I have planned to lead Cui Qian ashore by Wugui, and then I will work with Wugui to kill Cui Qian and others, seize their warships, and rebuild the Funan Marine Division. With the sailors, we can compete with the State of Yue at sea again. When the southern countries hear the good news of the king, they only need an envoy to re-enter our Funan subordinates.

"Well, that's good." Fan Man nodded and said, "It's just that the blameless person is not very reliable. You'd better change your own person, open the gate when necessary, and even assassinate Cui Qian and others. No matter how poisonous the snake is, it will become a rotten leather rope without its head. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it will be a chair cushion without its head. The Vietnamese are very proficient in this application, and the precautions must be very strict. You must be careful. If you don't have the right manpower, it's better not to send it.

Fan Jun nodded heavily: "Yes, I've already thought about it. For this reason, I have prepared 30 crossbowers, each of whom has ten blood-sealed throat arrows. I guarantee that as long as Cui's skin is a little broken, he will die. Now that the king is coming, I'm going to hand over the army to the king's personal leader. I'm lurking in the city with my own guards..."

"No way." Before Fan Jun finished his words, he was interrupted by Fan Man: "You are the leader of the army. You can't act as an assassin. It doesn't matter if the assassin fails. We still have a large army, but if you have any losses, even if there is a large army, who will lead it? The Han people have a saying that thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. In my heart, you are not an assassin, but a general who will lead tens of millions of troops, although your martial arts skills are very good.

"King..." Fan Jun was so excited that he was speechless. He hugged Fan Man's leg and cried bitterly.

"Ajun, don't cry." Fan Man patted Fan Jun on the back and sighed, "Good man, you don't shed tears. We should make the Yue people cry, not ourselves. You get up and wipe your tears dry. Let's make another trap. This time, if you want to use Cui Qian as bait, I'd like to see if King Yue can't be fooled.

"Take Cui Qian as bait?" Fan Jun turned his eyes and suddenly realized: "Do you take Dunxun as a trap?"

"That's good." Fan Man sneered: "No matter how many tricks there are, they are always vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. No matter how powerful the Yue people are, there are less than 20,000 people, and there are more than 40,000 people here. I don't believe that we can't catch the cunning Yue king. Cui Qian is just a small fish. What we want to catch is the big fish of the King of Yue. Only by catching him can I help Nan live in peace and restore to the peace before.

Fan Man talked too much. She was out of breath and her chest fluctuated violently. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I can't drink a glass of wine with his skull. I won't close my eyes."
