In the afternoon, outside the city of Linyi, Dian Chong, Linyi, looked at the familiar city, Feng Delang coughed a few times and led his entourage to the east gate. The road entering the city was winding, and a stone tablet was erected on the side of the road not far away, which was written in Sanskrit with the glorious deeds of the former king Fan Huda.

Most people in Linyi were illiterate, and even if the merchants who traveled to Dianchong and Hong Kong District knew Sanskrit, they would not stop and read what was written on the stone tablet. Feng Delang did not slow down and walked by the stone tablet.

He had already read the contents on the stone tablet, but it was nothing more than praise and it was meaningless.

Linyi State has been in its own country for hundreds of years. Although the national history was not compiled during this period, and there were many kings in the first hundred years, Linyi State had to erect monuments specifically for the late king Fan Huda, and there was naturally a reason.

Because from the perspective of Linyi Kingdom, Fan Huda's achievements are worthy of great writing.

At the beginning of the founding of Linyi State, the king's surname was the district. Later, the royal family was extinct, and the nephew of the king's surname Fan at that time ascended the throne. Therefore, since then, the royal family of Linyi State has the surname Fan.

Perhaps when the Central Plains was traveling south, some problems occurred in the inheritance of the throne of Linyi Kingdom. A powerful minister from a slave family, killed all the princes and finally inherited the throne of the king.

This Fan is not that Fan, but the royal family of Linyi State still had a surname Fan. In the late Jin State, King Linyi, named Fan Huda, began to use large-scale troops to the north. Jiude County, Jin State's Rinan County, was repeatedly plundered by him, and the prefects of the two counties were captured by him.

At that time, the powerful minister Huan Xuan was in chaos, and Jin was in chaos. He was unable to comply with the attack on the border of Linyi State south of Jiaozhou. The governor of Jiaozhou repeatedly sent troops to repel Linyi's army, but it was not the root cause.

Fan Huda was fearless and had to use troops north every year, and repeatedly captured the city of Rinan and Jiuzhen County, which was "proudly known for its martial arts". At this time, Jin State was trapped in the rebellion of Sun En and Lu Xun, and he had no time to increase troops to Jiaozhou to attack the bold and arrogant Linyi State.

Lu Xun fled westward and tried to occupy the nest that Jiaozhou thought it would be revived. As a result, he was defeated in Nanjin outside Longbian City and committed suicide by jumping into the water at the end of his journey. However, the king of Linyi Fan Huda believed that the god-given opportunity to capture Jiaozhou was here, so he personally led his troops to move northward.

As a result, he was defeated by the local Jin army in Jiaozhou. One son and a general were killed and the other son was captured alive. Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Huda quickly surrendered, claiming that he had regretted that he wanted to surrender to Jin.

Although it was just a nominal surrender, Jin State was indifferent and unable to sue, so he went down and condemned it a few words without any pain, and then accepted the so-called surrender of Linyi State.

Fan Huda died of illness soon after, but his "great martial arts" for the establishment of the border of Linyi Kingdom and the achievements of building the new capital Dianchong and the important northern towns of Su became a generation of heroes who later kings wanted to imitate. Therefore, on the side of the official road outside the east gate of Linyi Kingdom (main gate), he set up a stone tablet to remember Fan Huda's glorious deeds.

From the perspective of Linyi people, you will feel excited when you look at the stone tablet of Fan Huda, but Feng Delang, as a "foreigner", felt uncomfortable after seeing Fan Huda's outstanding martial arts.

Because he is a child of the Feng family of Gaoliang, the Feng family has always been proud of being a Miao descendant of the Han people in the Central Plains. The great achievements of the King of Linyi Fan Huda and other kings of Linyi were all based on the numerous corpses of the people of Jiuzhen County, especially in the southern part of the Rizhen County. This is the history of blood and tears of the Han people.

Linyi State continued to attack Rinan, Jiuzhen, local officials and people were heavy. The governor of Jiaozhou sent troops to repel Linyi's army. When the main force returned to Longbian, the Linyi army came again, and after the city was broken, another round of massacre was killed.

After repeated struggles for dozens or hundreds of years, the Han people's immigrants and casualties in the southern and Jiuzhen counties since the Qin and Han dynasties, the composition of local people gradually became slang, and even dominated by people. The feelings for the Central Plains gradually faded until they disappeared.

As well as Jiaozhou, it was also severely damaged, causing local tyrants to continue to cause chaos and had no time to look south. Linyi Kingdom finally succeeded by using the method of constantly eroding for dozens or hundreds of years.

Rinan County is no longer a place under the Central Plains court.

Feng Delang has read books and can read, so he knows some history. However, as a maritime businessman, he cannot stop doing business because of this kind. The Feng family of Gaoliang is now known as Xian family. Most of the children of the clan are engaged in maritime traders. Feng Delang relies on sailing to do maritime trade and has a lot of income.

Every time he came to Linyi Port, he would take a boat to go upstream and land at the intersection of the two rivers east of Dianchong, and visit the powerful and wealthy people of Linyi in Dianchong City by land so that the other party could take advantage of the situation and take care of it. Therefore, he was so familiar with Dianchong City that he could not be familiar with it.

When he was about to arrive at the city gate, he saw several riders landing in the estuary behind him and galloping towards the city. It seemed that he was a messenger coming from the downstream port area. Feng Delang's heart moved and led his entourage to run towards the city gate quickly.

He is a familiar face, so after paying the entry tax, he saved himself from searching and entering the city directly. As soon as everyone entered the city, the messengers rushed to the city gate and shouted: "Close the city gate, close the city gate! The pirates attacked the port area, close the city gate so that the pirates would not sneak in!!"

The city gate was in chaos. The guards closed the city gate despite the pleas of pedestrians. Feng Delang, who entered the city in time, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.

A follower followed and asked in a low voice: "Master, next?"

"Don't do extra things when you go to the old place."

"So..."

"Don't panic, wait for the official army's signal!"

......

The Linyi Palace, Dianchong's city, is more than 300 steps in a circumference. The hall is a hall with no windows on the south wall. The long house at the east end is a north-south direction, with a sun on the south side. The west side of the hall is the residence of the king and the harem. The palace is upstream of the mountain and faces the east.

Although the eaves and gull tails, blue-patterned door decorations, red brick steps and green tiled eaves are not as powerful as the Central Plains Dahu Fort, they are also somewhat majestic.

At this time, the King of Linyi Fanzhi was leaning against the window on the second floor of the palace and asking questions. The civil and military officials looked up at him on the flat ground outside the building and answered various questions.

The way of conversation between the king and his subjects was so special because it followed the customs of the ancestors. The king was in the attic, and civil and military officials, princes, and servants were strictly prohibited from assassins, as well as those ambitious people who were ill-hearted and wanted to usurp the throne.

The young Fan Fanzhi did not succeed to the throne for a short time, but compared with his father, he was much shorter. Today, he learned that pirates attacked the port and quickly summoned civil and military affairs to discuss the matter. His focus was on: was this large-scale fleet a real pirate or the invading Zhou army?

"King, the other party is coming with great force, and the masts are like forests. It is not an ordinary small fleet. The person who returned to the city to show the warning did not see the flag clearly..."

"But if the pirates of Wolf-Tooth or Horosan gather, they probably have this size. They came from the south, and I think they should be pirates."

Some people questioned: "But if you can't get from the big island where Yazhou is located, you may also be destined, so it is possible to approach the port in the southern waters..."

"You mean, the Zhou army took a fleet to cross the sea from Yazhou and directly attacked our country's capital? How could this be possible? Isn't the main force of the Zhou army in Jiaozhou Longbian? Where did they come from so many soldiers!"

"Who knows, aren't there still garrisons in Guangzhou?"

"They went crazy? I transferred all the troops here, won't the locals rebelled? A few months ago, it was the territory of Chen State!"

Seeing the ministers fighting, Fan Fanzhi had a headache and patted the windowsill. He stayed quiet and asked, "Is the city gate closed?"

"King, all four city gates have been closed. I have sent troops to the mouth of the river to garrison. No matter whether the invading enemy is a pirate or a Zhou army, don't even think about getting close to the capital!"

"Very good. Send people to dispatch troops immediately to let the troops from all over the country serve the king. Also, the troops who set out to Qu Su today will be asked to return to the city immediately!"

Fan Fanzhi felt a little relieved when he saw that various enemy defense matters had been implemented. Pirate attacks occurred from time to time, but the scale was generally not large, and what he worried about the most was that the Zhou army came across the sea.

This is not impossible, but generally speaking, the Central Plains army or the Jiaozhou garrisons invaded the south by the sea, and they were traveling along the coastal routes. As of today, he has not received an urgent report from the garrison of the Qu Su garrison, saying that the Zhou army fleet was heading south along the coast.

But the other party can also come directly across the sea from Yazhou, but the risk is very high. Three or five large-scale sea trade fleets often go like this, but I have never heard of the fleets of hundreds of large-scale traveling this route.

In summer and autumn, there are many hurricanes along the coast. When a storm comes, coastal ships can also rush to the beach in an emergency. The people on board landed on the shore to avoid hurricanes. The fleets that were traveling in the sea could only watch the huge waves slam, the ships shattered, and everyone was buried in the belly of fish.

If the commander of Zhou’s army really dares to use troops like this, then he is a madman, an absolute madman!

"Don't worry, our warships are also cruising the coast outside the Bulao Mountain. If there is really a large fleet coming from the Northeast, they should have discovered it in advance and sent the ship back to report the news. There is no relevant news now. I think it is the Wolf-Toothed Pirates in the South and even the Horosan Pirates."

"Our army has already deployed defenses at the mouth of the river. The opponent is eager to break through, and he will not be able to reach the outside of the capital. When the royal army arrives, they will definitely retreat!"

It makes sense. Fan Fanzhi felt that no matter who the attack was, it was no longer important. As long as his army guarded the mouth of the river in the eastern suburbs of the capital and waited for the surrounding troops to come, the other party would definitely return in vain.

Hekou, even when the Song army attacked more than a hundred years ago, our country had been defending for more than ten days. Now there is no reason why we can't even defend for several days!

The king and his ministers had already decided to leave the meeting, but they heard a "rumbling" sound from the distance to the east, and it sounded like thunder for a while, as if thunder had fallen frequently.
