Chapter 184: Determination

In a camp tent, Feng Xuan was lying on the couch, the doctor was helping him change the medicine, when Zhenyang was in chaos, Feng Xuan was almost hacked to death by the Zhou soldiers who pretended to be ghosts and touched the camp, and it was thanks to his subordinates who struggled to protect him to pick up a life.

Mrs. Xian, who had just finished the military discussion, sat on the side and watched the doctor help her grandson change the dressing, and saw the shocking wounds on Feng Xuan's body, without a half-uncomfortable expression.

Just now she said in the big tent that she had "seen countless ups and downs", this is not a joke, Mrs. Xian and the Feng family have gone through ups and downs together for decades, and they have never seen any scenes, but the current situation is indeed different from the past.

The Northern Army actually invaded Lingnan!

From the Yongjia Rebellion to the present, Lingnan is under the jurisdiction of the Jiankang Imperial Court, that is, the so-called Southern Dynasty, the Northern Dynasty army has never entered Lingnan, this is not Huainan Prefecture, the cavalry of the Northern Army can directly raid from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, to drive straight into Lingnan unless by sea, otherwise it is not so easy.

The appearance of the Northern Army in Lingnan means that the situation in the Central Plains is about to change greatly, and the land distance from Jiangzhou Prefecture to Shixing at the southern foot of the Dayu Mountains is more than 1,200 miles.

Jiankang, located near the south bank of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect itself, of course, this is not the first time that the Northern Army has come to Jiankang City, but this is not thirty years ago, and Chen Baxian, the Xijiang capital of Lingnan, is long gone.

What is the current situation of Jiankang, the Metropolitan Governor Wang Meng was vague, and Mrs. Xian did not ask, after all, after the fall of Jiangzhou, the reliable contact between Lingnan and Jiankang can only be carried out by sea, and a round trip will take months, even if you receive the news now, it is at least half a month ago.

As for reinforcements, I'm afraid there won't be any.

This is different from the wars that have occurred in Lingnan for decades, and the wars that Mrs. Xian has experienced are all because the local assassins in Lingnan are ambitious, vainly trying to fight against the Jiankang court and stand on their own, and the official army soon rushed to quell the rebellion, and the flames were extinguished before they spread.

At that time, Li Shiqian, the Gaozhou assassin of Liang State, and Ouyang Su, the Guangzhou assassin of Chen State, launched a rebellion, and she sent troops to resist, and together with the officials and soldiers who came to quell the rebellion, the rebels were defeated, and now, the officials and soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to come.

But in any case, she has to come out to preside over the overall situation to protect the territory and the people, so that the people of Lingnan can avoid the poison of war as much as possible.

"Grandmother." Feng Xuan, who had changed the medicine, was about to get up, but was stopped by Mrs. Xian and asked him to lie on the couch and talk.

"Erlang, what do you think of the strength of the Zhou army?"

"Grandmother, the Zhou army is menacing, and this time in Zhenyang, he actually used tens of thousands of sky lanterns to set fire, which is amazing."

Hearing what her grandson said, Mrs. Xian asked Feng Ang on the side: "San Lang, what do you think?" ”

Feng Ang knew that his grandmother was testing herself, so she thought seriously for a moment and replied: "The Zhou army is prepared, and he will not give up if he does not take Lingnan." ”

"How so?"

"Sky lanterns, grandchildren also let go, in fact, it's nothing, as long as there is paper, bamboo strips can make a sky lantern, the key is the quantity." Feng Ang said slowly, "It takes paper to make sky lanterns, and it takes a lot of paper to make a lot of sky lanterns, and there are no big paper mills in Lingnan, so it is impossible for Zhou Jun to recruit them on the spot." ”

"The only possibility is that they carried so much paper when they marched, the price of paper is not cheap, and tens of thousands of sky lanterns were made, and the cost was not paper, but money, and the other party was so generous, indicating that it had been planned for a long time."

"In order to break through Zhenyang, he did not hesitate to invest such a large amount of financial resources, so his grandson said that the Zhou army came prepared, and he swore not to give up if he did not take Lingnan."

"What else?"

Mrs. Xian continued to take the test for her grandson, Feng Ang thought about it and wasn't sure what to say, Feng Xuan opened his mouth and replied: "The Zhou army is going south all the way, and after taking Guangzhou, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that in their eyes, we are just handsome Lingnan slang and cave masters. ”

"They came with the might of a hundred battles, and they definitely don't treat the people of Lingnan as human beings, take them away, suck their blood and peel their skins, and treat them as slaves, and when the time comes, everyone's life will be sad."

Madame Xian was very satisfied with Feng Xuan's vision, and it was not in vain that she took great pains to teach, she looked at the thoughtful Feng An and said:

"Erlang is right, the Jiankang court has owned Lingnan for hundreds of years, no matter what happens, no matter how many emperors have changed, most of the time at least they can get along with the leaders of Lingnan, and now they have changed the arrogant northern court, and they will only think about enslaving the people of Lingnan."

"If we surrender, no matter how we can mix up an official and a half-job, but the new magistrate, I'm afraid that he will have to knock on the bones and suck the marrow in Lingnan, loot all kinds of rare treasures, and send them back to the capital to curry favor with the emperor and ministers, do you think that the unlucky ones will only be the people at that time?"

"Back then, the court of the Liang State was short of money, food, and slaves, so it sent people to Lingnan to summon the leaders of various tribes to Gaoyao to participate in the meeting, set up an ambush and kill, and your maternal great-grandfather and maternal uncle were killed at that time!!"

"The Liang army relied on its strong strength to attack and plunder the slang villages everywhere, robbing, burning, and grabbing them all!"

"How many people have become slaves, how many people have died, I, with the young and strong to hide in the mountains, build forts and deal with the Liang army, after hundreds of large and small wars, constantly disturb the Liang army's grain road, I don't know how many people died, so that the Liang army retreated in the face of difficulties, and sent envoys to sue for peace."

"Do you think the reason why the Jiankang Imperial Court has a lot of discussions with the leaders of Lingnan is because of kindness? No, it's because we Lingnan people can be self-reliant! If people don't improve themselves, it's hard to save them, and it's the same today! ”

"Don't just think about surrendering to protect the family business, then you can't save anything, when I didn't marry your grandfather, I built fortresses in various dangerous places with my brothers, so that the Jiankang court would retreat in difficulty, so that they could calm down and be willing to discuss and talk well, and it is precisely because of this that there is today's situation."

"And now? Another imperial court called, they won consecutive battles, and they didn't take the Lingnan leaders seriously, once they took Guangzhou, what followed would be a repeat of the tragedy of the year! ”

"When the time comes, it is not only the people who are unlucky, but also the leaders of various places, there is a common saying in the Central Plains, called 'There are eggs under the nest', so you can't have the idea of surrendering because the enemy army is strong."

"If we can't beat it on flat land, then we will burn down the stockade, move people and grain, and livestock to the mountains, and clear the wilderness, so that the Zhou army can't catch a single man in Lingnan, can't grab a grain of grain, and guards a few lonely cities, and will be attacked by us every day!"

"Consume it like this, until they can't hold it anymore!"

Feng Xuan and Feng Ang couldn't help nodding, their grandmother was over the age of six, but she was full of energy when she spoke, and it was easy to understand the reasoning that the two who were afraid of the Zhou army before were now determined.

Mrs. Xian babbled so much with her two grandsons, one was to teach the younger generations, and the other was to remind herself that she must not let a bloodthirsty beast enter Lingnan to do whatever she wanted because she lamented the casualties of her own soldiers.

"Do you know what the name of Zhou Jun Coach Yuwenwen is?"

"My grandson doesn't know."

"Erlang, have you been to Jiangzhou and heard the story of the one-legged bronze man?"

Hearing his grandmother's question, Feng Xuan thought about it for a while, and was shocked: "Could it be this Yuwen Wen..."

The northwest bank of Jiangzhou across the river is the boundary of the Zhou State, and the people of Jiangzhou hate a "one-legged bronze man" of the Zhou State who has plagued them, and they have arranged many stories to entertain them, and this kind of story has spread to various places with the business travel from the south to the north, Feng Huo has crossed Jiangzhou several times to Jiankang, and it is inevitable to hear relevant rumors.

"Exactly! I heard Wang Dudu say that this person is the governor of Huangzhou in Zhou State, and the so-called governor is also the governor of Chen State, and he has caused a lot of harm to the people of Jiangzhou, so he got the name of a one-legged bronze man. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xian's face was like frost: "The one-legged bronze man is addicted to eating human flesh, not only is he cruel by nature but also very lustful, I have made up my mind that I will never let such evil ghosts harm the people of Lingnan!" ”
