Chapter 107: Secret Contact
Since ancient times, the royal family has been the main vein of the barbarians, and now the royal family is completely subjugated to the south, especially those small and medium-sized tribes, even if some would rather die than surrender, they can't stop the barbarian army.
That's how important the name is......
Unfortunately, the world is fickle and people's hearts are unpredictable......
The Southern Barbarian tribes have dominated the south for many years, although they were recognized as the courtiers of the Great Shang Dynasty during the Great Shang Dynasty, but they only paid tribute every year, and they could be described as a local emperor if they did not listen to the Xuan.
Now the big business is weak, and the world is in chaos......
The Southern Barbarian tribes also have ambitions, so if they don't have the Northern Expedition, how can they surrender?
There are hundreds of barbarian tribes scattered throughout the south, and the seven tribes are the most powerful, with a total of one barbarian emperor and six barbarian kings.
The seven major tribes are: the Wind Division, the Thunder Division, the Fire Division, the Water Division, the Gu Division, the Beast Division, and the Feather Division......
They are all ancient forces with a long history, each tribe has more than 10 million people, and each has more than 10 million troops and occupies a county, which is also a sign of submission to the Great Shang Dynasty, recognizing the naming and canonization of their territory by the Great Shang Dynasty.
Each generation of barbarian emperors is born from the seven tribes, and the remaining six are barbarian kings, and they respect the barbarian emperors together.
Dongyang County is the territory of the Ministry of Fire, which is in charge of the Zhurong clan, and this generation of the Fire Barbarian King is also known as the Fire King.
When the barbarian royal family went south, the southern barbarian tribes debated countless times over whether to submit to the royal family......
Until Zhang Sheng led the army to arrive in Dongyang County, there was still no result, which was one of the main reasons why Zhang Sheng's army could be so smooth before.
Including the fire department of the seven major departments of the Southern Barbarians, nearly half of them are still in favor of returning to the ancient barbarians and recognizing the royal family, and the resistance is not strong!
However, the Fire King Zhu Yanyan was used to being the emperor of the soil, so he naturally didn't want to be a courtier, so he was the main battle faction, and the two sides confronted each other in Dongyang County.
In addition, the Fire King also asked for help from large tribes such as the Water Ministry and the Gu Department, and received a total of about 30 million reinforcements.
Of the seven major tribes of the Nanban, only the Ministry of Water and the Ministry of Gu came to help, so you can imagine the fierce contradictions within the Nanban.
Among the southern counties, Jian'an County and Nghe An County have the largest territory......
In the hands of the Water Department and the Gu Department respectively, this generation of Southern Barbarian Emperors is from the Gu Department......
They will support Dongyang County, which is also the main reason why Jian'an, Ngui'an, and Dongyang are adjacent to each other.
If Dongyang County falls, it will be their turn!
Overlooking the county town of Dongyang, the flag is like a forest, and the air is in the sky.
After arriving at the city, the southern barbarian army quickly set up camp and did not attack the city, and the two sides confronted each other.
"Young master!"
"The Fire King has received the support of the Water Department and the Gu Department, and he cannot attack it according to my king's wishes......"
"Otherwise, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, especially the Gu Department, which has to be guarded against!"
When Zhang Sheng, the Duke of Wolong, arrived, Elder Zhang Jiye, who was the vanguard commander of the Southern Expeditionary Barbarian Army, reminded Zhang Sheng with a headache.
"Will they not return?"
Zhang Sheng's face was rather ugly and asked.
Since the southern expedition, it has been quite smooth, if it were not for the difficulty of marching in the poor mountains and bad waters......
According to Zhang Sheng's expectations, more than two months will be enough to hit the shores of the Endless Sea.
"They recognize our clan, but they only respect our clan and do not recognize the Zhou country!"
Elder Zhang Jiye observed the surrounding crowd and said in a low voice.
After a pause, he changed to Chuanyin and continued:
"The Fire King sent a message, if our clan is willing to break away from the Zhou Kingdom, they are willing to return to ......"
"Not only will I give up the territory so that my clan can live in peace, but I will also do my best to help my clan go north and regain my ancient barbarian country!"
As soon as Elder Zhang Jiye's words fell, Zhang Sheng's face suddenly changed greatly, and he instinctively turned his head to look around in panic, seeing that no one was paying attention, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice:
"What nonsense?"
"King Zhou treats our clan well......
"How can you talk nonsense about such a rebellious word?"
"You can't even think about it. ”
Elder Zhang Jiye's face was straight, and he waved his hand at the Wolong Barbarian Guards to let them retreat farther away, and warned the surrounding situation, but it was still a transmission but he was extremely cautious and said:
"Think twice, young master!"
"Now our clan is not what it used to be, anyway, it has left the ancient capital, and it is better to be in the south than in Xuancheng County. ”
"With today's situation, it is an excellent opportunity for our race to rise!"
"Is this what Elder Zhang Jiye meant, or is it who?"
Zhang Sheng asked with a frown, but he didn't show too much willingness or unwillingness, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.
"This is the common idea of all the elders and priests, not the old man's personal meaning!"
Elder Zhang Jiye stared at Zisheng tightly and said.
After a pause, he continued in a low and annoyed tone:
"Since ancient times, the south has been the world of barbarians, so there is a saying that the southern barbarians......"
"As strong as Emperor Xia Wuxian, Emperor Yi, etc., there is still nothing to do with the Southern Barbarians......"
"What's more, it's the Zhou State that only occupies a few counties?"
Zhang Sheng frowned and pondered, but did not answer.
Elder Zhang Jiye analyzed again:
"The south is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, and under the defense of the Nanban, it is even more difficult to attack. ”
"Now, the king of Zhou and the Manchu Dynasty are civil and military, but our clan led an army to attack, and even ...... reinforcements"
"It's obviously killing each other, and nine times out of ten, there is also the intention of weakening the strength of our clan!"
"The Southern Expedition was fought for by my clan, right?"
Zhang Sheng retorted in disagreement.
"That being said, it shouldn't be all conquered by my warriors, right?"
"Something is clearly wrong!"
Elder Zhang Jiye replied without hesitation.
Then, he looked ahead and said: "Don't say anything else, just the Dongyang County City in front of you, if it is attacked by the Terran legion, how many legions will it take to take it?"
"How many warriors do our people have to sacrifice to take it?"
"Are you sure that the Southern Barbarian Emperor and the Six Barbarian Kings will recognize and support our clan?"
Zhang Sheng asked with some interest.
"Of course, such a major event is related to the rise and fall of our clan, how dare the old man talk nonsense?"
"You can also let them make an oath, and the young master will decide!"
Elder Zhang Jiye responded with an oath, and added, "Of course, some barbarian kings mean to accept our clan and restore the glory of the ancient eight tribes......"
"Then the contest decided the candidate for the Barbarian Emperor......"
"With the current strength of our clan, it is not a big problem to win the championship......"
"From the Nanban tradition for many years, it also proves that they do follow the ancient system, so there are emperors and kings but no emperors!"
"Does the priest of God know about this?"
Zhang Sheng nodded slightly, and suddenly asked.
Elder Zhang Jiye thought for a while, and responded: "The divine priest is in the Zhou capital, and it is inevitable that the partition wall has ears......
"The old man doesn't dare to tell him for the time being, as long as the young master nods, he can secretly go to contact!"
"Ask the priest what God means!"
Zhang Sheng responded hesitantly, and did not say that he disagreed.
Zhang Jiye was overjoyed and asked, "What ......about Dongyang County?"
"It is naturally better to continue to contact with the various ministries of the Nanban, and it can be resolved peacefully!"
Zhang Sheng commanded ambiguously.
"The young master is wise!"
......
Zhou Du ......
Jizhou City .......
Ji Yan has been in retreat since returning to the capital from Zhangqiu Giant City, and it took nearly two months to finally refine the Eight Great Divine Treasures.
They are: Northern Hell Yuan Qi Divine Treasure, Ancient Yue Power Divine Treasure, Easy Speed Divine Treasure, Heavenly Turtle Life Divine Treasure, Tongying Wisdom Divine Treasure, Ancient Elephant Essence Blood Divine Treasure, Thousand Machine Heavenly Heart Divine Treasure, and Martial Emperor Dao Heart Divine Treasure.
