Asan County, the seat of the state of Prize.

It was when the sun was setting, Lu Ning looked at the west from the window, and there was a yellow halo, as if he could feel it, and further west, the boundless hills and highlands, and the yellow sand blown by the wind rolled.

Guizhou, the so-called eight mountains, one water and one field, more than ninety percent of the area in the territory are hills and mountains, the climate is even more treacherous and changeable, a mountain is divided into four seasons, ten miles of different days.

Droughts, strong winds, freezing, and hailstorms are frequent, and the people of the Central Plains today have no way to live in this land at all, unless they can't survive in the Central Plains.

In the hall, there were four people standing in the rules.

A barefoot man wearing a shirt full of torn linen and a black scarf wrapped around his head is the Chongzhou Man in the Wuling Man, from the Chongzhou Man, a tribal clan from the Chongzhou Man, called Zhao Xifeng.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, these Han families gradually integrated into the barbarians, and many became the leaders of various barbarian tribes, such as this Chongzhou barbarian, which was previously ruled by the Xie family, and became the Zhao family in the late Tang Dynasty.

Of course, although these Han descendants still retain their Han surnames, they have already changed their customs and integrated into the barbarians, such as this Zhao Xifeng, who is swarthy and looks no different from other barbarians.

The only difference is that this Zhao Xifeng can speak the Central Plains, but it is slightly blunt.

Although Zhao Xifeng followed the fleeing Chongzhou Man to the award state, he came to ask for the support of the Central Plains Dynasty with the hope of what happened, although this hope was very slim.

Mo said that the current state of the state no longer exists, that is, in the former Tang Dynasty, the barbarian tribes fought, and the Central Plains Dynasty was mostly a cold bystander.

Zhao Xifeng stood solemnly at this time, secretly pondering in his heart, he came to Xiangzhou to know that the Central Plains Dynasty is now Qi, the Tang people have become Qi people, the dynasty has changed, the world has not yet been unified, I am afraid, I will not pay attention to the affairs of these tribes in the southwest.

However, this Qi Humanities General Academy, listening to his own people, said that in the past few days, he has found many people to inquire about the southwest affairs, and until today, he called himself again.

And I heard that in Qi Luzhong, the barbarians in the southwest have all been renamed Tumin, removing the barbarian characters and Yi characters, this is the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty has ever been unprecedented, but I don't know, what does this portend, but anyway, thinking of the Central Plains people, since then began to use the people to call themselves and other tribes, in my heart, I can't help but be excited, my own people, at first hearing the news, although they are all fleeing here to be precarious, but they are all singing and dancing, celebrating for a few days.

And what does this portend for you? Does it mean that this request for help can have a good result?

Zhao Xifeng's heart was full of thoughts, and he was extremely chaotic and cranky.

Standing beside Zhao Xifeng, there was another businessman, named Liu Boshi, a short and fat little fat man, because he often went to the southwest to trade with the barbarians, and even reached the western region controlled by Luo Shi Ghost, so he was also called.

He didn't know why the General Court of Literature called him here today, but two days ago, the General Court of Literature summoned him once to inquire about the barbarian affairs in the southwest.

Standing next to Liu Boshi was another sturdy barbarian young man, with a swarthy upper body, only wrapped in a few strips of cloth, and a pair of wide linen pants on the lower body, also barefoot.

His name is Tian Hanquan, and he is the leader of the local tuan in this award state.

Standing beside Tian Hanquan was Wen Zhengming, a native of Daozhou Whitefly Village, and he didn't know why the General Academy of Literature brought him to the state, but he was extremely excited.

Lu Ning came back to his senses and looked at the four of them, especially Tian Hanquan a few more times, if history had not been changed by himself, this young man would occupy this award state in a few years, and change the name of the award state to Huangzhou, which is the origin of the new Huang County here in later generations.

"Zhao Xifeng!" Lu Ning's gaze turned to this Chongzhou brute, "This court has decided, lead the troops into Qiandi, and help you Chongzhou natives resist the Luo Shi ghost." ”

Zhao Xifeng was immediately overjoyed, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "Lord Xie Zongyuan!" If you can expel the Luo Shi ghost, the Chongzhou Department and the left and near departments will receive the kindness of the adults! ”

Lu Ning looked at Liu Boshi and Wen Zhengming again, "You two will also follow me into Guizhou." ”

Liu Boshi and Wen Zhengming both agreed with a happy face.

For Liu Boshi, it will be much more convenient for him to go back when the current dynasty has pacified the barbarians of Qiandi, and there are many benefits.

Liu Boshi and Wen Zhengming naturally don't think that the Central Plains is barbaric, and they follow the coach, what danger can they encounter.

Lu Ning looked at Tian Hanquan again, "You select some elites from the Tutuan and transport food." ”

Tian Hanquan patted his swarthy chest, "The villain and others are serving the death of the General Hospital!" ”

Lu Ning smiled.

……

But no matter whether Zhao Xifeng, Liu Boshi and Wen Zhengming, when this Wen Yuan led them into the barracks, they were all dumbfounded when they heard that this time the Wen General Yuan entered Qiandi, and they were only going to bring three battalions of soldiers, a total of 1,500 people.

Although they all know that the General Academy of Culture came to the state of award, and there are not many soldiers and horses accompanying them, but they only think that it is the vanguard of the army, how do they know that the General Institute of Literature will rely on more than 1,000 people, and they will enter Guizhou to fight with the ghost masters of Luo Shi ghosts?

Zhao Xifeng and the clan Yongzhuang fought with the Luo Shi ghosts on the east bank of the Wujiang River, and I heard that it was just a small ghost master's subordinates, but it was fierce and abnormal, and the sacrifice was beating the waist drum in the back, and those Luo Shi barbarians were really as fierce as being possessed by the little ghosts, as if they were convinced that under the blessing of the sacrifice called "Bi Mo", if they fought with foreign clans and died under the sword, the soul could be reunited with the ancestors.

Thinking about that scene, Zhao Xifeng still shuddered, only felt that his subordinates lived too close to the people of the Central Plains, understood a lot of truths, and were no longer as ignorant as Luo Shi's ghosts, but he also lost a lot of qualities that his ancestors had.

And the people of the Central Plains, living in the richest land, have unimaginable knowledge, so even if they cherish their lives too much, not like the Luo Shi ghosts, and even regard death as a peaceful destination, but the Central Plains people have powerful weapons and armor, and the barbarians in the southwest cannot fight against them at all, so many barbarians can only retreat to the poor mountains and bad waters, no matter how much they covet the land of the Central Plains.

However, now this Wen General Yuan is about to enter the evil land of Qiandi to expel Luo Shi's ghosts away from the Central Plains, but only bring more than a thousand soldiers?

Didn't this Wen Zongyuan go to die?

When Zhao Xifeng was thinking about it, suddenly, a low tiger roar came, yes, a tiger roar, the tiger roar was not one, but four or five mixed together, and it was even more terrifying.

Zhao Xifeng looked at the roar of the tiger, and immediately trembled, but saw a colorful giant tiger slowly pacing out of a big tent, not one, but two, three, four......

Zhao Xifeng suddenly grasped the handle of the scimitar on his waist, as a member of the Chongzhou Barbarian Clan, he still had an iron waist knife with good sharpness.

But when he saw that the General Wen Yuan had already walked over, he patted the tigers on the head, and he didn't know what to say to them.

The columns of soldiers, as if they were all used to it, all looked at this scene very calmly.

Lu Ning brought Zhu Mao to come, one came, can intimidate the barbarians, because Luo Shi ghost tribes, most of them have totem worship, among which there are worship of various animals, I heard that there is a self-proclaimed "Luo Luo" Luo Shi ghost department, that is, worship the tiger, self-identified as the descendants of the tiger, in its language, "Luo Luo" is the meaning of "tiger tiger", and each of its departments enshrines an ancestral portrait, called "Nerama", which means "female tiger ancestor".

Moreover, if the military horse gets lost in a treacherous place, the hair can help find the way, find water, and even find food, such as a flock of wild sheep.

Of course, Zhumao's rations are worth dozens of soldiers, and they all have raw meat, and after entering the Qiandi, they can only be ordered to hunt by themselves, which is also a helpless thing.

In addition to bringing Zhu Mao, Lu Ning even brought a fire gun to see if he could pretend to be a ghost at a critical moment.

Entering Qiandi, Lu Ning could only bring Zhu Mao by himself, and did not let the tiger maids accompany him, at this time, he touched Zhu Mao's head and talked to them, in fact, after a long time, some simple instructions from himself, they had already made it clear.

On the other side, Zhao Xifeng looked at the Wen Zongyuan who was playing with a few tigers, and his eyes almost fell out for a while, and his previous doubts had already been swept away.
