Luo Fengyi, the big leader who was concerned, was also humming and chirping on a lifting frame, and was rushing day and night without stopping under the desperate escort of the remnants of his subordinates; Because he fell from the frightened overturned car during the defeat, he was desperately snatched out by those die-hard family children, and it took a day and a night to wake up.

However, the situation was irreparable, and he was unable to walk or ride because of the leg he had fallen, so he could only continue to march with a carrying frame by his cronies and slaves.

Although he soon came forward to regroup thousands of people from those who had not yet caught up with the follow-ups, and tried to regroup and salvage the situation; But because they had discarded large quantities of baggage and carrying livestock, they had to survive by looting and looting on the spot. However, when his army went south, he had already snatched these opponents from the ground;

The result was a lack of food and clothing, and an uneven distribution, and several infighting and conflicts broke out among the remnants he had gathered, and most of the men were scattered that night; And then among the rest who continued to follow him, there were also constant escapes, and even the leaders he sent to supervise and stop them simply ran away because they could not recover their lives.

Although he had already sent envoys to those "Han thieves" to ask for money, in fact, even he himself had little confidence, and the probability that the other party would receive it after he won the victory; It's just a delaying tactic to buy time for yourself. Only that stupid Dr. Shi would believe in his promise and benefits of quitting the army and forming an alliance.

Therefore, his most critical and important goal at the moment is to return to his Luojiabendong one step ahead of others; Even the remnants of the centaurs that had gathered before, under the leadership of one of his stand-ins, had become the price of shutting off their tails to survive and divert their targets; In this way, he could concentrate the remaining mules, horses, animals, and remnants of materials, and rush back to the mountains before the news of the defeat spread, so as to save some of the situation and situation for most of the Luo clan under his control;

Whether it is to re-mobilize men, women, and children to prepare for war after returning to the cave, or to open up the inventory to reward and encircle those who remain in the cave; It is possible for the Luo clan to be prepared to pay a considerable price for a long time to confront and see-saw before the opponents who were able to move because of the old grudges and feuds of "fighting enemies" in the neighboring Western Plains Barbarian tribes fought one after another.

At the very least, even if most of the Luo clan's power is to fade and shrink significantly, or it will be scattered into several families; Even the whole family, including the whole family, had to live a bitter life of enduring humiliation and burdens for many years in the hostility of the opponent and the robbery by fire; But at least we must think that most of the Huang, Webster, and Nong clans can preserve the possibility of the bloodline flowing down or even resuming it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly hated and regretted himself, how could he easily listen to the bewitchment and persuasion of those Nanzhao barbarians back then, and take the initiative to get involved in the troubled waters of the Han land; Knowing that these guys who have a home and country can't go back, they have obsessions and resentments about the gains and losses of Jiaozhou back then; Of course, he will never admit that he was at the beginning, and he also took advantage of his interests and came out to win a hand

Therefore, he secretly made a decision, once he returned, he would kill all these people who were no longer of much use, regardless of men, women, and children. At this time, his small but capable team stopped again, and took out the water and sat down eagerly on the ground; Later, a honey water in a porcelain bottle was also sent to Luo Fengyi's mouth and carefully fed.

"What kind of place is this?"

Feeling the warm honey water in his mouth covered by his body, Luo Fengyi also felt that the anxiety and dry cough in his mouth had been relieved a lot, and the injuries on his legs and feet were not so painful.

"This is Lin Xiyuan. There is also an inscription in front of it as a mark. ”

Luo Bai, the left general of the Luo clan, who was born in the family, came over and responded.

Hearing this place name and stone stele, Luo Fengyi suddenly remembered an allusion in his heart, but it was about some deeds of Li Duyou, the great leader of Qiwan Cave and the assassin who was once subordinate to Fengzhou;

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there were 6,000 Tang defense winter soldiers stationed in Linxi, Fengzhou, and Li Youdu, the chief of the nearby Qiwan Cave, assisted the Tang Dynasty in defending and transporting rent. In June of the 12th year of Tang Dazhong, Annan protected Li Zhuo to remove the anti-winter soldiers, and the special committee Li Youdu was responsible for defense. Li Youdu was lonely and difficult to stand on his own, and the Nanzhao Tuodong Jiedu envoy took the opportunity to write a letter to lure, and married his niece to his son, and entrusted him to Tuodong to hold the teeth, Li Youdu led his people to surrender to Nanzhao.

Then, after the Annam Prefecture lost this screen, the gateway to the mountains to the west was opened, and the free Nanzhao army drove straight in. In December of the first year of Xiantong (860), the aborigines of Annam introduced more than 30,000 soldiers to the south and captured Jiaozhi, and the capital of Annam protected Li Ju and the prison army fled to Wuzhou (near Wuming, Nanning, Guangxi). It was not until June of the following year that Li Ju collected local troops to attack the barbarians and regain Annam.

In February of the 3rd year of Xiantong, the Nanzhao army attacked Annam again. The former Hunan observation envoy Cai Xi led a total of 240,000 soldiers including Xu and Hua to aid Annan, and the momentum was huge, and Nanzhao automatically retreated. By November, Nanzhao saw that 8 soldiers and horses returned to their own roads, and sent 50,000 troops to force Annan.

Cai attacked in an emergency, and the Tang Dynasty sent 2,000 soldiers from Jingnan and Hunan, ordered Guiguan (now Guilin and other regions) to recruit 3,000 volunteers, and later transferred 1,000 crossbowmen from Shannan Dongdao to aid Annan. However, it was difficult for the reinforcements to arrive in time for a while;

Cai attacked the city to defend the city, insisted until the seventh day of the first month of the fourth year before the southern Zhao soldiers broke into the city, Cai attacked alone, fought on foot, and fell into the city with 10 arrows in his body and died. This was the later Xiantong five-year Gao Biao's re-conquest of Annam.

In the end, more than 30,000 troops of Nanzhao were killed, and Yang Ji, the envoy of Nanzhao, was captured, and Zhu Daogu, the local barbarian leader who was a guide for Nanzhao's army, was captured. And Li Duyou, who is the initiator of all this, is not exempt,

His subordinates were attacked one after another, and tens of thousands of men, women, and children were captured; The remaining barbarian tribes had been completely frightened, so they intercepted Li Duyou, who had abandoned and fled, on the way, captured and killed hundreds of his cronies, concubines, and children, and enshrined them in front of Gao Yu's army;

Then, they were all killed in this Lin Xiyuan and a monument was erected to remember and deter; It was called "Lin Xi Dingman Monument", and it has been more than ten years so far. Thinking of this, Luo Fengyi, who was also one of the barbarians in the Western Plains, couldn't help but feel a little unlucky and felt uneasy and throbbing in his heart, and scolded angrily with all his strength:

"Get up, don't stop and keep going,"

"If you go back to the ministry, the little ones are really tired and unbearable."

Luo Bai, the general of the left, is a little unclear.

"I hurried in the wind and rain along the way, and many people fell."

"Then work harder, leave this Lin Xiyuan and rest again."

Luo Fengyi insisted as if he was some kind of obsession.

"It's a big deal, just give them another reward. Whether it's a woman, a slave, an animal, or a field. ”

And so, a moment later, amid the roars, yellings, and faint grumblings of chickens and dogs, the team rose again and set out in haste again; So, after paying the price of more than a dozen people being exhausted, abandoned, left behind, and lost, they finally arrived at the edge of a shallow river, and completely left Lin Xiyuan's location behind;

Then I saw that most of them had broken away from the ordinary, and fell to the ground one after another, but they refused to wade any further. And Luo Fengyi, who was awakened by the shock of bottoming out from the shallow sleep on the lifting frame again, couldn't help but sigh; Again I felt a little hungry in my belly, and I didn't shout:

"Come and me with food."

Then a few simple and portable glutinous balls of roasted meat, dried dried meat, and leaf wraps were placed in front of Luo Fengyi, and a slave maid seemed to bend down and put his hands and feet against the muddy ground full of gravel, and used it as his activity food table in the field.

It's just that after Luo Fengyi ate a few bites, he found that there was no sour horn cake and plum head sauce that he usually liked, and he didn't know after a few mutters that these objects were responsible for acting as the two-horned animal's carrying slaves, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up.

He suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, but after looking at his subordinates and slaves who were full of fatigue and dust, he knew that it was not the time to have an attack, so he could only endure it and wait for the future to make plans. After hurriedly using up this meal, Zuo General Luo Bai couldn't wait to urge these people to go on the road again. Fortunately, the river is still shallow, so you don't need to deliberately look for a bridge to cross, but just let people wade through.

It's just that when Luo Fengyi's frame was carried by the four slaves and maids on the left and right, stepping on the mud and pebbles trembling together, moved across the middle of the river and was about to get to the opposite bank, the surrounding suddenly happened; Luo Bai, the first general of the left who was standing in front of the frame, suddenly roared angrily and then turned into a scream of air leakage, and the blood flowers that bloomed on his neck even splashed on Luo Fengyi's face.

Then the tribes and slaves who had already come ashore also fell to the ground in amazement and roaring, or ran to the left and right in panic.

Luo Fengyi's carrying frame was also accidentally overturned into the stream, and he suddenly threw himself into the shallow mud at the bottom of the river and was drowned half to death; And when he was pulled back out of the water in a drowsy state, the first thing he heard was:

"There's a very fat one here."

(Compared with the Tang Dynasty, even in the late period of the decline of the imperial dynasty, it was necessary to protect the homeland of the Qin and Han dynasties since ancient times; Before the battle, I ceded the land to the Nanban and quelled the rebellion of a lost dog Nong Zhigao who was driven out by the Jiaozhi regime, and it was already very laborious for me to GPD the world's first-class Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty, and it was really a shame to throw it home. ）
