Across a stream, behind Lu Ning, there was a winding mountain road to the earthen village, and under the horse beside him, only Mi Zhu was alone, helping him lead the horse.

The rest of the leaders hid in the mountains and woods, looking at the majesty of the Han army on the other side of the stream, and all sides were like earth.

On the opposite side of the stream, thousands of lunge cavalry formed a battle formation, slaughtering and slaughtering into the sky.

Chaozhou is the eastern barrier of the Han Kingdom, and there is a military town.

On the other side of the stream, the two small black dots of Lu Ning and Mi Zhu, who were holding them, seemed so small and insignificant.

"Lord, I have fifty dead soldiers ambushed in the woods, the lord looked back, and saw that the mound with a lot of dog's tail grass was not, they were ambushed there, that Liu's family, it was a meat ticket, if it couldn't be talked about for a while, the lord would flee there, and the dead soldiers would help the lord delay time, they were all very beautiful, all naked and rushed out, unexpectedly, they could still block the Han army for a while......"

He also said: "Fortunately, I didn't take them to Zhangzhou, otherwise, when I was captured, they would definitely fight to the death, for fear of being killed by the lord's army......"

After a pause, he said: "I just ask the lord in the future to treat Nong Bayin well, and there will be no regrets when the little slave dies!" ”

Lu Ning smiled, staring at the other side of the stream, where the banner of the black suppression army was the strongest, and shouted: "Gao Rong, still refuse to believe my identity?" ”

Just now, he had already shot a letter and reported himself to his home, it was Lu Ning, the Duke of the Donghai of the Tang Kingdom, the deputy envoy of the Qingyuan Army, and the envoy of the Quanzhang Xingying.

In the military formation on the other side of the stream, a horse suddenly drove out and ran to the shallow stream, and Lu Ning, only a dozen steps away, was immediately a general of Guanjia, slightly bowed and hugged his fists, "A certain is the general of Gao Shigong, if your letter is true, then, what does it mean that the Tang State sent troops to invade my border?!" ”

In the eyes of the Han army, if Lu Ning is really the envoy and the Duke of the East China Sea who is now controlling the Quanzhang army, then he must have led the army into the Han realm.

The volume of the Han Kingdom is far less than that of the Tang Kingdom, but in addition to the trading port of Guangzhou, the Han Kingdom has two Lingnan roads, especially the Lingnan West Road, although the area is wide, but the population is sparse, and there are many barbarians, that is really a barbarian land, and it is the Han State that can be safe.

Don't say that the Tang Lord, the Shu Lord of this kind of country, the Han State can not afford to offend, that is, the original Annam Protectorate, the northern region of Vietnam in later generations under the instigation of the warlord surnamed Wu no longer respect the Southern Han Zhengshuo self-established as the king, the Han army conquest, suffered a big defeat, and no longer dared to conquest, now the feudal town there is the second generation of the Wu family, claiming to be the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty, later generations, Vietnam will regard it as the end of more than 1,000 years of history, the beginning of independence, in fact, the Wu family is just a warlord born in the late Tang Dynasty in Yue.

Lu Ning also felt helpless, more than a thousand years of history of the country, what is the concept, I really can't think of it, dare to love the Vietnamese, since BC began to lose the country, but, at that time, in the south of Jiaozhi, where can be called the country's power?

And now, looking at this tooth general Ma Cheng as if he was facing a great enemy, it is natural that the Han people are worried that the Tang State is preparing to conquer the Han State.

Lu Ning smiled and said: "This Longru tribe is now my tribe, I am here to discuss with Gao Thorn History, temporarily use this place to live for my tribe, allow me to live for a while, and I will move them away." Oh, there is also the matter of Mrs. Thorn Shi, it is a misunderstanding, that Meng Lang's generation has been cut off by me, and Mrs. is unharmed, so I will return it, and I hereby ask Gao Thorn Shi for guilt! As he spoke, he glanced at Mizhu.

Mi Zhu was stunned, didn't talk about anything? Are you going to release them now?

But she didn't dare not listen to Lu Ning's words, so she had to pout her fingers and whistle.

Not long after, in the woods, two barbarian girls armed with scimitars walked out, one of the barbarian girls, carrying Liu's back, ran quickly.

The tooth general Ma Cheng also couldn't believe it, and when the barbarian girl approached, she saw that she was really Mrs. Shi, and was immediately shocked, and hurriedly jumped off the horse, led the horse across the stream, and came to Lu Ning's side, and the barbarian girl came over and put down Liu, and helped Liu to get on the horse.

Liu's face was blank, and his eyes looked at Lu Ning.

Now, countless soldiers have seen her release from the hands of the barbarians, and in the future, who can think that she is innocent.

However, the husband's large-scale army is already tantamount to telling the world that he is in the hands of the barbarians, perhaps, he really deserves to die, and now the husband, I'm afraid that he is very disappointed, I don't know, seeing himself, his face, how ugly it will be, he originally hoped that what he saw was a corpse.

Lu Ning looked at the other side of the stream and shouted: "Mrs. Thorn Shi has not suffered the slightest grievance in this village!" These days, I have been accompanied by my maid! "I can only help her get here, and if I say more, it will be three hundred taels of silver here.

Liu, who was lying on the horse's back sideways, glanced at Lu Ning gratefully, and Ma Cheng led the horse back to the main formation.

After a long time, finally, in the Han army formation, slowly drove to ride, but it was a civilian official attire, wearing the dark crimson official robe of a four-grade official, wearing a virtuous crown, with a thoughtful face, a square head and big ears, and a very dignified appearance.

"Gao Thorn Shi, after asking Madame, you will know that what I said is true, and please withdraw from the army, so as not to spoil the brotherhood between you and me!" Lu Ning hugged his fists slightly.

Gao Rong leaned on the horse, "This brother, if you and I change places, what will Brother Tai do?" My wife didn't mention this public case, just said that in front of him, the identity of Brother Tai is difficult to understand, not to mention, even if Brother Tai is really the Duke of the Tang Kingdom, but the Longru Department has always been a citizen of my Han Kingdom, how did it become a part of the Duke of the East China Sea? Do you want to live here temporarily? Could it be to follow Kong Ming's move to borrow Jingzhou, this is probably not a good story, but a matter of the past life, a teacher of the future life? ! ”

Lu Ning smiled, "In the barren mountains and forests, it is extremely difficult to feed the Longru Department now, I am afraid that if this continues, they can only be forced to rob the state capital and grab grain to make a living, why talk about borrowing Jingzhou?" The stab is heavy! It seems that Gao Thorn Shi can't be the master of this matter, and you need to make a decision from the lord of the Han Kingdom, and when I return to Quanzhou, I will repair the book to the lord of the Han State, but before that, if the Thorn History suppresses my subordinates, all the consequences will be borne by the Thorn History! ”

Liu Sheng, the current lord of the Han Dynasty, is one of the most brutal tyrants in history, his father is highly prolific, and gave birth to nineteen sons, the first two sons died young, Liu Sheng is the fourth son, his brother succeeded to the throne soon after, he killed his brother and seized the throne, and then, fifteen younger brothers, except for one of his younger brothers who died in battle without succeeding to the throne, the remaining fourteen younger brothers, were all killed by him.

As for the atrocities such as the torture and killing of ministers, the brutal killing of close servants, etc., are too numerous to mention.

Not to mention the debauchery, even accepting nieces into the harem.

But externally, Liu Sheng didn't have such a big temper, except for when the Southern Tang Dynasty invaded Chu, he took the opportunity to eat tobacco and conquered Chu once in the north, and he nested in his own one-acre and three-point land, and whoever was strong and domineering would be a vassal to whom.

In this lawsuit, if it comes to Liu Sheng, Lu Ning can guess what choice Liu Sheng will make.

Lu Ning said, stretched out his hand and took off the longbow on his back, this strangely shaped longbow, Mi Zhu had already secretly observed, it was a bowstring with good cow tendons, and several cow tendons were entwined together, I don't know what it was, the bowstring was extremely thick, and the back of the bow didn't know what material it was, obviously it wasn't ordinary bamboo and wood, it looked like gold and non-gold, like wood and non-wood, and there were some complicated mechanisms, I don't know what it was for.

And in the master's quiver, the cluster of arrows is even more cold, all of which are made of fine steel, even in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the weapons supervisor will not be able to create such sharp arrows.

Seeing that Lu Ning suddenly took his bow, Gao Rong instinctively raised the alarm, but the other party moved so fast that he didn't even wait for him to react, and a flicker of arrows had already broken through the air, "Ding Ding Ding", and all fell in front of his horse.

Even, the war horse under Gao Rong's crotch was arrowed into the ground for a while before he was violently frightened and rose into the air.

A row of arrows, lined up in a straight line, and even under the fierce shot, the arrow feathers did not enter the soil, that is, the wet soil by the stream here is soft, but it is really terrifying, and only a small point of arrow feathers on the ground is left, one by one, about a foot or so, between every two arrow feathers, the gap is so accurate.

"Take this land of arrows as the boundary! If you offend my part, you will be punished tenfold! ”

The young man's faint words rang out.

Gao Rong's personal soldiers behind him reacted at this time, and they all hit their horses and drove over, and Gao Rong raised his hand fiercely.

Looking at the straight line in front of the horse like a finely measured arrow, Gao Rong's face was cloudy, and even, he just reacted, this arrow was shot into the earth close to the horse's hoof row under his crotch.

This, this......

Is this archery within the reach of man?

Gao Rong broke out in a cold sweat on his back, looked at the young man on the other side of the stream, and bowed his head slightly, "Okay, it's up to my country's Holy Son of Heaven to decide!" ”

Lu Ning nodded, turned the horse and left.

"Lord, shall I take those arrows back?" Mizhu, who led the horse, was not stupid in the matter of the battle array.

"No need, just stay here as the boundary, and you send sentries to patrol here every day."

Mi Zhu nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "In the future, with the lord, my Mi Zhu will not be afraid of anything!" ”

Lu Ning smiled silently.

……

Back in Tuzhai and facing Lu Ning, the demeanor of the leaders was already different.

When a sentinel came to report, the Han army had withdrawn, and the entire village was even more jubilant.

Then, under the leadership of Mi Zhu, he was a barbarian villager, kneeling on the ground and drinking blood and swearing an oath, living and living, for the part of the god Lu Ning.

Back in the lobby of the village, Mi Zhu knelt down and said: "The lord ordered the little slave to guard the village here, and the little slave did not dare to leave without permission, but the little slave died fifty, and he could follow the lord to kill him, just like the little slave guarding the lord!" ”

Lu Ning was immediately overjoyed, he didn't want to use eunuchs, so he was thinking about recruiting some barbarian girls from this Longru Department in the future, doing some heavy work for the inner house, and playing the role of a nurse. It's just that he has just become the master of these barbarians, and it's inconvenient to say this, so I want to say it later, but I don't want to, Mi Zhu recommended herself for the barbarian girls.

"Okay, in the future, they will guard the inner house for their father, well, I want a name, and they will be arranged as wind maids!" But I remembered the fire girl Yang Paifeng.

Forget it if you go into battle to kill the enemy, no matter how strong a woman is, she is a woman after all, and her combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a man, if she becomes a prisoner of war, her fate will be even more tragic.

Mi Zhu didn't know what Lu Ning was thinking, but guarding the inner house for the lord was even more of a heavy responsibility, and only those who were extremely close to the lord would have such an errand.

knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a rough voice: "The little slave and the people who are discharged will die to serve the lord!" ”

Lu Ning rested for a while, and when he wanted to turn back, Mi Zhu came with all the leaders, all kneeling on the ground, and some of the leaders said with tears: "Lord, this place is really barren, and the slaves are difficult to maintain. ”

Lu Ning was slightly stunned, and when he asked, he realized that this place was barren, and it was very difficult to feed more than 7,000 people, so Mi Zhu was moved by the staff of the Liu brothers to sack Zhangzhou and lay down a granary of the state capital, so that they could maintain their lives for a long time.

Its population pressure is increasing.

If you leave it alone, I'm afraid that they really have to be like Liang Shanbo in the novel, robbing houses and robbing everywhere to survive.

Lu Ning pondered for a while, speaking of which, now he is pro-army, except for a few firehead troops, there is no special logistics support system, because he has not carried out long-term operations abroad, logistics and the like, in the place where he is stationed, temporarily requisitioning people.

And these barbarians, from which they recruit strong and brave for logistics, and usually train together with the reserve soldiers, and produce and cultivate fields in their spare time, so that they have a certain combat ability, and do not affect agricultural products, which is not bad.

"Do you really want me to take Zhuang Yong away? ......" Lu Ningxin said, isn't it better to take away the old and young women and children?

The head man kowtowed and cried: "The slaves dare to let the lord raise useless people in vain? The clan is brave and brave, serving the lord, and doing what he deserves! ”

Several leaders explained in a mess, and Lu Ning gradually understood that for them, it was better to take Zhuang Yong away, and Zhuang Yong ate too much .......

Nowadays, there is not so much prey for Zhuang Yong to hunt, mainly cultivating barren terraced fields, and ploughing this kind of work, in the case of not many fields, Zhuang Yong and experienced farmers and women, there are not many advantages.

Looking at these crying and begging him to recruit his brave leaders, Lu Ning was a little helpless, this kind of thing was originally something that he considered after he was ready to give more kindness, but he was forced to do it by them, and this was a great kindness to them.

Lu Ning agreed at the moment, and everyone was overjoyed immediately, and they all kowtowed vigorously, thanking the lord for his great kindness!

Later, it was agreed that, in addition to the captives who are still in Zhangzhou, a total of 800 brave and brave soldiers were recruited from the Longru Department, and those who had wives and children and dependents could accompany them.

For a while, everyone was happy.

After the village sacrificed male and female slaves, they were praising the lord's profound kindness and benevolence!
