    Regarding the slave laborer matter, Yang Guang finally made some concessions, and Huang Mingyuan did not dare to push too hard.  As for the postponement, let alone mention it.

    Therefore, in order to prevent the officials below from violating the law, Huang Mingyuan often visited various construction sites. He finally frightened many officials and barely improved the living and living conditions of the laborers.

    In early June, news came from Lingnan that Liu Fang, the military commander of Heyin County Gong who was attacking Linyi on Huanzhou Road (also known as Rinan County, now in northern Vietnam), died in the army. Yang Guang had just ordered a military camp to be set up in Linyi's hometown.  All twelve counties in Dangzhou, Nongzhou, and Chongzhou fell again.

    At this time, the imperial court has not completed the appointment of officials from the three states.

    Lin Yi is now in central Vietnam.  It stretches for thousands of miles and has cities and palaces. In the Sui Dynasty, there was writing and Buddhism, and the people were mainly engaged in agricultural production.  The land of Linyi was Xianglin County, Rinan County established in the Western Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a local man named Qu Lian killed the county magistrate and claimed to be the king of Linyi. From then on, Xianglin County became independent from the rule of the Han Dynasty.

    Although Lin Yi traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains, he actually had close ties with China.  The Eastern Jin Dynasty attacked Linyi several times without success.  The Southern Song Dynasty later conquered Linyi, but due to the chaos in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Linyi was allowed to recover.

    In the last years of Emperor Wen's reign, some ministers said that there were many rare treasures in Lin Yi, and Emperor Wen wanted to plunder the treasures, so he appointed Liu Fang as the military commander of Huanzhou Road to plan and handle affairs in the direction of Lin Yi.  Yap.

    At this time, Liu Fangzheng served as the commander-in-chief of the march on Jiaozhou Road. He had just put down the rebellion of Li Fozi in Jiaozhi (governing Songping, today's Hanoi, Vietnam) and captured Li Fozi, the leader of the Li people (the name of an ancient tribe, mainly distributed in the southwest coast of Guangxi and southeastern Guangxi).

    I don¡¯t know why Yang Jian fell in love with Lin Yi, but it happened that the Northern Expedition had just been successful in the Sui Dynasty, and the world was fine, and the main force of Liu Fang¡¯s southern expedition happened to be in Jiaozhou and had not yet returned, so Yang Jian wanted to take the opportunity to hunt rabbits.  The hidden danger of Lin Yi was eliminated.

    But in fact, although Linyi is a small country, its people are fierce in nature. As a result of fighting, they follow the mountains and rivers, not the flat land.  Compared with the Central Plains, most of them are savages, which are not so easy to pacify.

    Moreover, the climate in Lingnan is humid, hot, miasmatic, and harsh, and the northern soldiers cannot tolerate the local climate.

    During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, several military defeats were evidence of this.

    Yang Jian slapped his head like this. He had neither a long-term plan nor a long-term arrangement after capturing Linyi. It was just like a bandit making a hot-headed decision, which is really shocking.

    However, Liu Fangguo was a famous general, and the Sui army's combat power far exceeded that of Lin Yi, who was still a savage.

    After Liu Fang received the order, he had neither reliable supplies nor backup, so he sent Qinzhou Governor Ning Changzhen, Huanzhou Governor Li Yun, Shangkaifu Qin Xiong and others to lead more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry out of Yueshang (roughly located in  Today's Quang Binh and Quang Tri provinces in Vietnam), recovered the southern part of Han Rinan County (i.e. Huanzhou) that had been occupied by Lin Yi, and stabilized the situation.

    Liu Fang also built warships in Huanzhou and prepared to advance by water.

    But Liu Fang was ready, but he didn't expect that the emperor Yang Jian died suddenly, and the country was mourned. Then came the rebellion of the King of Han, and the entire court was in chaos. By the time the situation stabilized, several months had passed.

    The newly succeeded Yang Guang was similar to his father in that he liked to expand territory, so he ordered Liu Fang to continue attacking Linyi.

    At the end of the fourth year of Renshou, Liu Fang ordered Ning Changzhen and Li Yun to lead thousands of main troops from Yueshang across the mountains and approach the hinterland of Linyi Kingdom; Liu Fang personally led generals Zhang Xun, Sima Li Gang and others to command the navy out of Bijing Port (  The area north of Ba Dong in present-day Quang Binh Province, Vietnam), unexpectedly attacked behind the main force of Lin Yi.

    At the beginning of the first month of the first year of Daye, Liu Fang¡¯s army of nearly 10,000 people arrived at Linyi¡¯s seaport on hundreds of warships.

    King Fanzhi of Linyi was leading his army to deal with the Sui army in the north. This time he was suddenly attacked. He was caught off guard and rushed to fight. The blocking army was immediately defeated by Liu Fang.  Fanzhi was defeated and fled, and ordered his subordinates to divide their troops to guard the important roads to stop Liu Fang.

    At this time, someone under Fanzhi came up with a plan. The Sui army was too powerful to be defeated. The enemy could be lured deep into the army and defeated with elephant soldiers.

    Liu Fang pursued the defeated Fan Zhi all the way, and the main force crossed the Jiali River (today's Rili River in central Vietnam).  At this time, Lin Yi's reinforced soldiers rode on giant elephants and attacked from all directions.

    Most of the Sui troops were from the north and had never seen an elephant capable of fighting. As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, Liu Fang's troops suffered a defeat.  Liu Fang saw that the elephant had rough skin and thick flesh, making it difficult to fight, so he ordered people to dig many small holes and cover them with grass as traps.

    Liu Fang asked his soldiers to challenge Lin Yi's army. The two armies fought. The Sui army pretended to be defeated and immediately retreated.  Lin Yi's soldiers were victorious and took the opportunity to pursue the Sui army.  He?Many of the elephants riding on them fell into small pits and tripped. The soldiers in Linyi were very frightened and the army was in chaos.

    Liu Fang immediately ordered the ambushed soldiers to shoot the elephants with crossbows. The elephants were injured and frightened, and immediately fled in all directions. They could not be restrained at all, so they trampled and disrupted Lin Yi's army's formation.  Liu Fang took the opportunity to continue the attack with his elite troops. Lin Yi's army was defeated, and more than 10,000 people were captured and killed.

    The enemy army retreated all the way and was defeated for hundreds of miles.  The Sui army pursued them all the way through District Su (the confluence of Guangzhi River and Kamlu River in today's Guangzhi Province, Vietnam) and Liuli. They fought several battles before and after, winning every battle, and finally reached Dayuanjiang (now Xiangjiang in central Vietnam).

    At this time, the people of Linyi had absolutely nothing to do against the Sui army.  They concentrated their forces to defend along the river, but they did not make much progress. They still used the old method of setting up fences to defend themselves against the Sui army.  The Sui army was already experienced in breaking down this kind of riverside fence, so it was not difficult to defeat the opponent and cross the Dayuan River.

    Liu Fang led his army in pursuit and won many battles. He chased to the south of Ma Yuan's bronze pillar and took eight days to reach Dianchong City, the capital of Linyi.  In March, Fanzhi, who had suffered repeated defeats, abandoned the capital and fled to the sea.  Liu Fang led his troops into the city and seized eighteen gold tablets for the temple owner.

    Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard that this was his first contribution to the expansion of territory after he ascended the throne. Therefore, Yang Guang was not ready to accept it as soon as it was ready. Instead, he ordered the establishment of three states and twelve counties in Linyi's hometown, making it the capital of China forever.  earth.

    Under normal circumstances, the Sui army would be victorious and the battle would be over.  However, Liu Fang's troops were all from the north and could not live here permanently, so Liu Fang carved a stone and set up a monument to record the achievements of the expedition, and then returned with the spoils of war.

    The imperial court also arranged for Liu Fang¡¯s Sima Li Gang to lead local soldiers from Lingnan to take over Linyi and deal with the affairs after Linyi was occupied.

    The southern land is hot and rainy, and the northern soldiers, including Liu Fang himself, cannot adapt to this special climate. The soldiers often suffer from swollen feet, and 40 to 50 out of 10 of them die.  When Liu Fang arrived in Jiaozhi, he also fell ill and died on the way.

    When Liu Fang died, the morale of the army was weakened.

    After the main force of the Sui army withdrew, Wang Fanzhi of Linyi took the opportunity to make a comeback, drove away the Sui army that stayed behind, and reoccupied the territory.  At this point, Liu Fang's achievements in attacking Linyi for several years were ruined.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
