Chapter 6699 Departure

Chapter 6699 Departure
After Princess Yiyang explained everything she could to Kou Feng, she signaled Kou Feng to do what he should do. At this moment, Princess Yiyang looked extremely calm, but when Kou Feng was about to leave, obvious worry was revealed on Princess Yiyang's face.

However, no matter how much she worried, Princess Yiyang did not persuade Kou Feng in the end. Even a grown-up son is not under the control of his mother, not to mention that Kou Feng is already her grandson. At this age, it is time for him to make his own choices in life. Moreover, Princess Yiyang did not want to avenge Kou Jun? Of course, how could she not want to?

"Alas." After Kou Feng left, a deep sigh came from the inner hall.

After Kou Feng came out of the inner hall, Deng Zhi and Han Ji were already waiting at the door. Both of them were considered Kou Feng's elders, but they had also witnessed the changes that had taken place in Kou Feng in just two short years. If when Kou Jun was alive, Kou Feng was considered a young man with some talent relying on his father, then the current Kou Feng was a heroic man in his prime.

"My two uncles, thank you for your help." Kou Feng bowed slightly. For such a big matter, he still needed to find his father's friends. Even though the relationship between many families and the Kou family had been broken up because of Kou Jun's death, there were always some families that placed all their bets on the Kou family, such as the branch of the Deng family and the main branch of the Han family. These were families that had put all their money on the Kou family.

"No trouble." Deng Zhi and Han Ji waved their hands and quickly helped Kou Feng up. They knew before that the Kou family had recovered considerable strength under Kou Feng's leadership, but when Kou Feng took out more than 95,000 regular troops, Deng Zhi and Han Ji still gasped.

Especially after the two of them saw the group of regular troops that had been mobilized, they no longer had any doubts about the strength of the Kou family. Did Kou Jun have such power when he was alive?
No, when Kou Jun was alive, Kunwu Kingdom was mainly laying the foundation. After Kou Feng took over, the resources left behind by Kou Jun truly demonstrated their due value.

Of course, compared to the five-color rice seafood porridge, which was developed by Zhang Zhongjing and Chen Ying for Dalit because of Kou Jun's needs, the Kunwu Kingdom has reached its current level of strength more by relying on Kou Jun's behavior when he led his troops to attack Qunu City.

Although the attack on Qunu City was initiated by Guo Si and accomplished by Zhou Yu, during the execution process, Kou Jun brought his elite troops, mainly Korma, from the Deccan Plateau in the south, as well as the Dalits such as Perna and Katana who gathered on the Ganges River, which at least could be considered a main force.

In addition, Katana and others had no intention of taking down Kusumu City from the very beginning. For them, a large number of Dalits had gathered under the command of the former king Guo Si to attack Kusumu City, the core capital representing the Brahmins. Regardless of whether they could take it down or not, it would cause chaos in the world.

This was also the belief held by the Dalits in Katana who had broadened their horizons by following Guo Si and were willing to use their lives to turn into flames and beacons to save those who had the same fate as themselves.

After Kushinagar was conquered by this group of people, the entire Brahmin system was in turmoil. If the Chola conquered Thanjavur, which was a remote area, the Dalits in the Ganges region would not have known anything about it when they received the news. But the capture of Kushinagar, the city representing the core of the Brahmin system, ignited hope even for the desperate Dalits.

Although they were blocked by Oswald later and prepared to leave with them after the capture of Qunu City, Katana and others were defeated and scattered. If it were not for Kusroyi's help in shielding and asking Oswald a fatal question, most of the Dalits would not have been able to escape at that time.

But this incident really dealt a heavy blow to the foundation of the Brahmins, causing the Dalits as a whole to have hope afterwards. But for human beings, having hope and having no hope are two completely different ways of life.

The former king once again led all the Dalits to conquer the iconic capital of the Brahmins. After leaving hope to everyone, he left peacefully without making any demands.

After the old king Kusroyi left all the Dalits with the power to resist, he also left. Like the previous king, he chose to let the Dalits pursue their own dreams. No matter what these Dalits do, with power, many things will become simple.

Then came the new king Kou Jun, who died in battle. Korma and others protected Kou Jun with their lives until the last moment, and then died there with the new king. That scene made Katana, who saw the end, realize that the beliefs of Korma and others were as heavy as his.

Beliefs may not be mutually recognized, but if both sides have the same weight, at least they can be understood. In the eyes of the surviving Katana, Kou Jun may not be as good as the former king Guo Si, nor as good as the old king Kusroyi, but a king who can be protected by Korma and others at such a risk of their lives cannot be that bad.

In addition, Kou Jun had an agreement with Katana before. Although that agreement was established by Kou Jun in order to make things difficult for Kushan, an agreement is an agreement.

After the fall of Kusumapura and the ignition of the fire of hope among the Dalits, there were very few areas left for the Dalits to choose to survive in the area of ​​the Ganges.

The former king left again. After all, he was a king who only left hope. He would not impose any restrictions on his subjects and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.

The old king left behind his power and also left, or it should be said that he left. The old king just couldn't stand with them. He had other thoughts and needed to verify possibilities.

In this situation, the Dalits led by Katana could only choose everything left by the new king Kou Jun. Then they met Kou Feng, who thought the new king's successor was very outstanding and was willing to inherit everything left by Kou Jun. So, in the current chaos, the Dalits of the Ganges, led by Katana and others, walked along the Deccan Plateau and came to the Kunwu Kingdom.

Over the past two years, the entire Kunwu Kingdom was injected with hundreds of thousands of new blood. These people were basically young and strong, with more men than women, and they were excellent soldiers.

In other words, Kou Jun's momentary kindness left a huge legacy to the Kunwu Kingdom, and now this legacy is finally burning.

"Uncle Han, you stay here to defend Thanjavur City. Although the Kushans are unlikely to send their main forces here at this time, we still need to be prepared. I have left more than 40,000 regular soldiers here, and you will be the commander when the time comes." Kou Feng said to Han Ji very sincerely, "Uncle Deng and I will lead 95,000 regular soldiers to Ceylon Island. This time, we must completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the southeast."

For Kou Feng, it was very important to take over Ceylon Island. As long as Ceylon Island was taken over, Kunwu Kingdom would basically not have the problem of being attacked from both sides, and there would be no problem of the core areas being harassed by the Kushans. By taking over Ceylon Island, the biggest hidden danger around him would disappear.

Of course, the most important point is that as long as Meng Kangbu is gone from Ceylon Island, Kou Feng will be able to free up his hands to fight with the Kushans. Because of the existence of the Deccan Plateau, it is actually very troublesome for the Kushans and the Kunwu Kingdom to attack each other. The last time Kou Jun went to deal with the Kushans, he had stored supplies for a long time before he was able to attack, not because of lack of food and grass.

In fact, what Kou Jun promised to Katana was that the wounded Dalits, women, children, the elderly and the weak who came to Kunwu Kingdom would be provided with food supplements. As long as the Dalits were still resisting the Kushan Empire, Kou Jun would provide food, clothing and other necessities for all the Dalits sent by Katana, no matter how many there were.

After Kou Jun's death, there were already hundreds of thousands of Dalits who had been introduced by Katana to seek refuge in Kunwu. This is also the reason why the Brahmins have actively demoted some Shudras and Vaishyas to Dalits in recent years.

Kou Jun's approach of gathering Dalits is actually a kind of operation to undermine the foundation of the Brahmins. It would be fine if the number was smaller, but now the number has reached hundreds of thousands, and the Brahmins' foundation has been mobilized. When the Brahmins were at their peak, they should have sent the Kshatriyas to kill all these guys and rebuild their foundation.

The Kou family had plenty of food and grass. In fact, on this side of the Ganges, even Guan Yu had plenty of food and grass. Because of the climate and environment here, as long as you could reclaim the land, you could harvest three crops a year and still be able to feed your people.

After all, they came from the Central Plains, and their agricultural technology is the best in the world, which is no joke. Moreover, Dalits are not picky and can eat basically anything, so the addition of hundreds of thousands of people does not cause any pressure to the Kou family. On the contrary, most of these new Dalits were trained by the people of Perna and Katana in the Ganges over the years, and they are ready to resist the power of the Brahmins.

After Kou absorbed it, his power expanded tremendously, to the point where it is even a little shocking now.

"Marquis Shangxiang, how many troops do we have now?" Han Ji had completely joined the Kou family, but he didn't really know how many troops the Kou family had. He was not in charge of this, and Kou Feng had been somewhat secretive before.

"There are about 90,000 veterans who have received real training and have actual combat experience. There are more than 70,000 who have not experienced actual combat but have received formal infantry drill training for about three to five years. The rest are young and strong people who have just received training and are currently receiving food supplements." Kou Feng remembered this number very clearly, because every person here was related to the revenge that would follow.

"Huh!" Han Ji and Deng Zhi gasped.

"There are probably more than 800 guards, but only about 40 of them are of high quality. The rest are all guards of will. These soldiers are currently only serving as the backbone to fill the legion. They will only be able to truly exert their effect after the muscle-building and bone-strengthening injections arrive." General Kou Feng also mentioned the number of the guards. The number is not large, but the quality is very good.

Moreover, unlike other places where the guards are mainly based on quality and talent, the guards on Kou Feng's side are basically based on willpower and talent. The more than 40 people with quality types are the more than 40 seeds of Sound Killing Warriors that Kou Jun left for Kou Feng before his death.

The others are all Dalits who followed the previous king, or Dawn Dalits. In any case, they all have extremely powerful will attributes.

Speaking of actual combat, the combat capabilities of these soldiers are also very strong. Take Katana for example. The will light spear burning with red flames is definitely the most lethal among the three talents. However, with a height of 1.5 meters and a relatively weak physical fitness among normal people, even in this most advanced legion, although he can display considerable combat skills, there is a high possibility that he will be killed directly by others if they get the chance. After all, his shortcomings are too obvious.

Therefore, Kou Feng meant to first give them some muscle-building and bone-strengthening injections to increase the height of this group of people from 1.5 meters to 1.7 meters, and their weight from 100 kilograms or even less than 100 kilograms to 140 kilograms. In this way, even if their physical fitness is still a shortcoming, it can at least be considered at the level of normal humans.

As for why the muscle-enhancing injection can only stretch to 1.7 meters tall and 140 kilograms, this was the result of repeated verification when Kou Jun was alive. Due to thousands of years of oppression, the Dalits' genes for short stature were mostly killed in wars in the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, which was exactly the opposite of the situation. The Dalits eat more, and the genes for tall stature are most likely not passed down.

Even with the use of muscle-enhancing and bone-strengthening needles, most Dalits can only grow to this extent. But even to this extent, it is still a 40% enhancement for Dalits. After putting on a set of armor, guys like Katana's level are just god-like veterans without any fancy skills. Anyway, there is no doubt about the lethality of the Spear of Will.

"Will these people be okay?" Deng Zhi asked carefully. He was a little scared of the expansion of the military force in the past two years, especially after Kou Feng told the truth. Deng Zhi was somewhat worried that there might be problems with these people. If Kou Jun capsized, they at least still had Kou Feng. If Kou Feng capsized...

"There are some with problems, but their number is very small, and most of the Dalits have no choice but to join us." Kou Feng waved his hand and said, he didn't care about this problem, he only cared about when he could take revenge, and the Dalits were better for Kou Feng, at least there were no cultural problems and difficulties in assimilation.

What do you think about the concept of nation? Spiritual belonging and cultural cohesion are more important than the so-called blood. Kou Feng did not realize this, but he at least knew that these people being close to him would not have any impact on him. They were his best helpers and an important arm for his future counterattack on Kushan. That was enough.

After making arrangements in Thanjavur City, Kou Feng led the main force of the army and rushed to the starting point.

Well, actually they didn't make it. Gan Ning's previous plan was for Kou Feng to lead his troops to the port, and then they would sail to transport Kou Feng and his men to Ceylon. The basis of this plan was that Kou Feng didn't have many people, and Gan Ning would take off with Kou Feng to let Kou Feng vent his inner anger. But after Taishi Ci was sure and certain that Kou Feng really had 95,000 people, Gan Ning thought that he should go to the Cauvery River to pick up Kou Feng so that Kou Feng could walk less.

The marching speed of 5,000 elite soldiers is different from that of 95,000 regular soldiers. The former may only take two or three days to arrive, while the latter may take two or three days to prepare the logistics. This is no joke, so you'd better go and pick them up quickly.

"General Gan!" Kou Feng saluted Gan Ning. When Kou Jun was buried, Gan Ning also came to see him off. Moreover, Gan Ning and Taishi Ci had been stationed here since then, so Kou Feng and Gan Ning were quite familiar with each other.

"You actually brought more than 95,000 people with you. Aren't you going to leave some to guard the home?" Gan Ning asked in shock after seeing Kou Feng. Even though he knew it beforehand, when he saw the huge group of people, even though they were basically wearing ordinary scale armor, Gan Ning still felt it was outrageous. This was too many troops.

"More than 50,000 people are left in Thanjavur City, and tens of thousands are also left in several important Deccan Highways in the west. I will not act recklessly in this regard. Moreover, I have also left Uncle Han to stay in Thanjavur City. I am here to take revenge, not to die." Kou Feng answered seriously.

Gan Ning was full of question marks. What's going on? How many troops do you have? That's not right. Your father didn't have so many troops. What's wrong with you? Why are your troops so exaggerated?

The reason for the exaggerated military strength is very simple. When Kou Jun took over, the Dalits of Kunwu Kingdom had not yet recovered. Even food supplements would take time. After Kou Feng took over, the Dalits who had been taking food supplements for many years have recovered partially. Moreover, because Kou Jun's actions won the recognition of the Dalits and he died in the Ganges, the Dalits also wanted to avenge Kou Jun.

This is why we have such an exaggerated military force now.

In fact, even without the support of Katana's group, the Kou family can still put out an army of 100,000. At most, the 100,000 troops at that time were somewhat mixed. Now the 100,000 troops can basically be regarded as regular soldiers.

"I'll transport it in three batches. This scale is indeed too much." Gan Ning thought about it and decided not to ask this question. In his opinion, this was the secret of how the Kou family grew stronger and became one of the vassal states. People should still keep a distance and not ask random questions.

"No, if the journey is not too far, one trip will be enough. I have already checked on the way here, so it is better to transport it all at once." Kou Feng suggested to Gan Ning, "Three trips will take too much time, General Taishi, isn't it? Meng Kangbu may be back in a few days at most? Let's not waste time and transport it all at once."

Gan Ning was silent for a while and looked at his own ship. It was not that it could not carry so many people, but with so many people on board, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating would all be problems. With such a high density, how could the ship possibly bear it?

Gan Ning was finally persuaded by Kou Feng, and more than 90,000 people were loaded onto a dozen ships and quickly transported away. The population density on the ships and the odors produced by the large number of people made it impossible for Lu Xun to even enter the cabin. However, for Kou Feng's men, this was no problem!
Come and join the event. When the number of participants reaches a certain level, I will update more during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
