Hundreds of warships arrived in a vast expanse, stopped three miles away from the coastline, and the army began to land.

The way to land was simple and crude, and I sent a boat to pull the rope to the shore and prepared to build a pontoon bridge.

This method is very troublesome, and the ropes required are very long, time-consuming and laborious, but there is no way. The water near the coast is shallow, so big ships can only do this. Just wait for a while to clear the nearby reefs and build a port.

Guan Ping took his men to take a boat first. After getting ashore, he ordered people to build a floating bridge while observing the surroundings. As soon as he looked up, he saw a group of children standing two miles away with leaves around his waist. The oldest looked at at most fifteen or sixteen years old.

These children were originally picking up shells, but when they saw so many big ships suddenly appear on the sea, they stood there in a daze, and they didn't react until the Han army landed.

Guan Ping waved to them, and the children walked over nervously, looking at Guan Ping's bright military uniform with envy and curiosity on his face.

Guan Ping bent down, showed a gentle smile that he thought he was, and said, "What are your names? What do you do at home?"

The children were confused. After a while, the oldest one in the grade took a step and started talking. They squirted, and Guan Ping was splashed with saliva on his face but didn't understand a word. Moreover, these children had never brushed their teeth, and the bad breath almost made him faint. Guan Ping lost his patience in an instant, turned around and said, "Take them all."

It’s not that he wants to make things difficult for these children, but that the news is afraid that the news will be leaked.

At this moment, the simple floating bridge had been set up, and the soldiers began to land along the floating bridge. The 50,000 troops walked for two hours before they got ashore. The large number of supplies had not been moved yet, and there was no place to put them in when they were moved up, so they simply threw them away first.

The beach was not suitable for camping, so Jiang Qindingfeng's naval guard ship was left behind. Guan Yu ordered Guan Ping to be the vanguard and led a 50,000 army forward.

You have to find a place to stay before it gets dark.

Gu Yong was afraid that Guan Ping was young and energetic, so he did something irrational, so he left with him. In Gu Yong's opinion, they came to Panqi Kingdom to accept it, not to fight.

Guan Ping took Gu Yong and the Five Thousand Pingshan Army to go first. Not long after he left, he reached the end of the beach and entered the dense forest.

Panqi Country belongs to the tropical region, with dense trees in the forest, some leaves larger than palm-leaf fans, and it is understandable that local natives use leaves to make clothes.

Although there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the woods, it is not a problem for the Pingshan Army. The Pingshan Army was built for this environment. The soldiers did not wear armor, but military uniforms similar to training uniforms, and tools such as daggers and short swords, Luoyang shovels, were like walking on flat ground in the mountains and forests.

As a pioneer, Guan Ping not only had to explore the way, but also cleared a road for the subsequent army. The speed was naturally not fast. The sun was about to set and it took less than twenty miles to walk. Fortunately, the dense forest was not big. Before dark, they found a village surrounded by dense forests. There was also reclaimed land around the village, and the crops in the fields were growing just in time.

There were thirty or forty families living in the village, and it was obvious that they were poor. They were all thin and had no clothes to wear. They were covered with leaves. There was only an old man who looked like the village chief wearing a garment and was washed white.

Gu Yong went up to negotiate, but miserably discovered that the language here was not within the range of dozens of Kushan languages ​​he learned and could not understand them at all.

If you have a language barrier, you have to deal with it violently, detain all the villagers and set up camps in the village.

The 50,000 army was indeed a bit crowded in a small village, but there was no way to make do with it. He barely had to rest for a night. The next day, Guan Yu did not rush to go to war, but ordered Guan Ping to cut down trees and clear out a road leading to the beach.

This was a chore, but fortunately, the expeditionary army was well prepared, and thousands of soldiers started working with saws and axes.

Times are progressing and technology is developing. Now the saw blades are getting sharper and sharper. Three people hugged each other together and could saw off a large tree that was thick in less than half an hour. What was so painful is that the sawed tree was a bit troublesome to deal with and could not be burned with fire. It was difficult to think about it. Moreover, they just sawed it off and did not dig the roots. The tree would still grow in the future.

Guan Ping was busy, Gu Yong was not idle either. He asked all the Kushan prisoners who followed the army and finally found someone who understood the local language and then started to study.

The communication learned that the capital of Panqi Kingdom is 200 miles away from this place. Although there are not many defenders in the city, there are absolutely no tens of thousands.

After all, Panqi is just a small country, with only half a county in the Han Dynasty. In addition, it is sparsely populated and low productivity, so many soldiers are good.

After understanding the situation, Guan Yu had a problem and asked Liao Hua to lead the main army to establish a base here, and he led Gu Yong and Guanping and 10,000 troops to attack Panqi Capital.

Liao Hua is also a talented man who can govern the army and the people. It is natural that he cannot stay and do nothing during his stay. When he saw Guan Yu off, he began to take people to inspect the surrounding terrain, looking for sand and stones to prepare for paving roads and building a port. He was idle when beating children on cloudy days.

It is easy to solve the problem of sand. The beach is full of sand washed out from sea water. It is a good building material. Although cement is a bit troublesome, it is not a problem.

Forty thousand people took action at the same time, but the speed was not slow. On the road that Guan Ping cleaned out, the roots were constantly dug up and filled with 300% ash soil, completely eliminating the possibility of the remaining roots continuing to grow, and then laying them.

Jiang Qin was not idle at the beach, so he began to clean up the debris in the water and prepared to build a port.

The Han people all know how to make a living by themselves. They will build them when the prisoners are escorted to them. They know that they will have to go to the age of the monkey and the horses of the horses. Moreover, the efficiency of the prisoners is difficult to satisfy. Instead of watching them get angry, it is better to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.

But Guan Yu continued to travel through the dense forest with five days of supplies and headed straight to Panqi Capital. After walking for three days, he found that they seemed to be lost. Guan Yu was so angry that he scolded Guan Ping, how could he lead the way?

Guan Ping felt so wronged that it was clearly the way you led.

I had lost ways to walk, and I was too lazy to worry about where to go. I finally walked out of the dense forest for two days and came to the open plains. Villages and even cities began to appear along the way.

The city here is simple and like a village in the countryside of Dahan. The walls are less than ten feet high and are severely weathered. They are like wind blowing, which makes people have no desire to attack.

The defenders in the city seemed to have no sense of fighting. Seeing that Guan Yu's army was too lazy to close the city gate, he looked down on others a little. Guan Yu decisively ordered and took down the city in front of him with a charge and captured the nobles in the city.

Influenced by the Kushan next door, Panqi Kingdom used the same system as caste. The various classes were clearly divided, and no one could cross it. In this way, the people naturally did not have the intention to fight for the noble lords. On the contrary, they were secretly happy to see him being arrested.

The captured nobles had no moral integrity and surrendered decisively, willing to lead Guan Yu to the capital of Panqi.

Seeing this behavior, Guan Yu was so angry that he wanted to raise the Dragon Slaying Sword to give him some.

Although he finally held it back, he secretly decided that the noble officials of Panqi Country should not be used more. These bastards betray their king without any psychological pressure, so they betrayed the big man.

Instead of harassing the people in the city, the army distributed the wealth found from the noble mansion to them.

As the Han army just arrived, it would be better not to make enemies with the local people. A strong dragon will not suppress local snakes.
