Guangyuan Prefecture is more than 400 miles west of the 100,000 Great Mountains, which is not too far. If the cavalry of the Western Army www.biquge.info go to the pen, it will take about three days to travel, and it doesn't need to be troublesome!

Since a trip to Guangyuan Prefecture to sweep can't waste much time, and it can't delay the division of the Western Army to go home for the New Year, the cavalry of the Western Army is naturally happy to go.

Zhong Hao, as a handsome man, naturally has to follow Di Qing, the handsome. Of course, in fact, the civilian personnel in the Western Army generally do not follow the cavalry to participate in this kind of rushing operation. The rest of the civilian personnel in the Western Army were indeed arranged by Di Qing to stay behind and be responsible for building the Jingguan and sorting out the battle reports.

The reason why Zhong Hao was able to follow was mainly because he took the initiative to ask for it. He wanted to see the Western Army bully those barbarians and bureaucrats in the state, and let out the evil anger in his heart. In later generations, these barbarians and wingmen were all masters, just to see them bullying the Han people, when Zhong Hao came here to travel in later generations, he was also bullied by these barbarians, and he was very resentful.

In these years, these feudal states in the southern Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty actually had a limited sense of belonging to the Great Song Dynasty. Most of these prefectures were semi-independent tribes with great autonomy, and the Great Song Dynasty had very limited control over them.

These principal officials, such as the governor of the prefecture, are generally the leaders of the largest local tribes, and the other state officials are generally held by the leaders of other larger tribes. Anyway, the size of the official positions is basically related to the size of their clan, and these official positions are basically hereditary, and the imperial court naturally recognizes them and allows them to manage their own territory. For these fetters, the influence of the Great Song Dynasty is very small, and it will not send officials to station.

Of course, even if the officials came, it would not play any role. Those tribes are all under the orders of their respective clan leaders, and those rogues have no restraint or control over them at all.

It is precisely because of this that even if the imperial court sends officials, no one will come. Not only is there a serious miasma here, but also the barbarians are fierce, and those civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty feel that they are the pride of the sky, who would want to come to this dangerous place! If you come here to be an official, you may be able to put your life here at any time.

This kind of official is completely torture for the great Song scholars who are accustomed to being respected. They would rather be at home than come to such a wild place.

Di Qing is actually quite decent, he has never drunk the blood of soldiers or eaten empty salaries, and most of his leading troops to fight have not committed any crimes.

But when he arrived in these southern Xinjiang states, Di Qing was really not very polite to the barbarians and bureaucrats in these states, and he had a big change from his previous decent image.

This time, the cavalry of the Western Army went to Guangyuan Prefecture on the way to those places of bondage, Di Qing led the cavalry of the Western Army to those barbarians and tribesmen, and by searching for the thief leader Nong Zhigao, they really carried out a ruthless sweep and blackmail.

The Western Army first accused those untamed barbarians and wingman tribes of harboring the rebel thief leader Nong Zhigao and ordered them to hand over Nong Zhigao.

Naturally, the Western Army wanted to add to the crimes of those barbarians and the tribes of the wingmen, and there was no excuse for it. Those barbarian tribes and wingman tribes did not harbor Nong Zhigao at all, and naturally they could not hand over Nong Zhigao.

At this time, the Western Army will say that they must have let Nong Zhigao go, and asked those barbarians and bureaucrats to either pay money and treasures to avoid disasters; Either accept the thunderous anger of the Great Song Dynasty and accept the punitive blows of the Western Army.

Most of those barbarians and wingman tribes are backward barbarians, they don't have much weapons and equipment, and there are few tribal warriors, they can fight with the same barbarians around them, how dare they make any changes in front of the nearly 5,000 cavalry armed to the teeth. Most of them obediently contributed all the money and treasures in their tribes to pray that the Western Army would not punish them.

Of course, there are also a few barbarian and wingman tribes who dare to resist.

However, they were soon wiped out under the powerful sweeping blows of the cavalry of the Western Army, and the people were wiped out and disappeared.

With the lessons of the past, none of the later barbarians and bureaucratic tribes dared to resist the extortion of the Western Army, and they obediently handed over enough treasures to pray for protection from the catastrophe.

The Western Army's sweep was very successful, and before Guangyuan Prefecture, it had already harvested a lot of treasure and money.

In fact, the reason why Di Qing did this and swept away the fetters in these areas was actually his own considerations.

This is naturally one of the aspects in order to extort money for the Western Army, improve weapons and equipment, and raise salaries.

But there is another important reason, he deliberately used this way of "showing off his muscles" in order to declare the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time to declare the sovereignty of the Great Song Dynasty over these feudal states.

And extorting the money and wealth of those barbarian and bureaucratic tribes can dispel most of the thoughts of many people who have different intentions and want to make a difference. Because they want to do something like rebellion, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without financial support.

In the final analysis, his purpose in doing this was ultimately to maintain the stability of the southern Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course, he did have the intention of looting treasures and improving the conditions of the Western Army.

…………

The cavalry of the Western Army, under the leadership of the marshal Di Qing, swept all the way from those fetters, but it was really refreshing, and everyone got a lot of treasures and assets.

Of course, most of these treasures and assets will be handed over to the public after they go back, so that those infantry comrades will also have a share of the profits. However, these cavalry warriors will naturally hide some privately, and their own marshals will naturally turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Zhong Hao actually didn't care much about the money of these barbarians and the bureaucratic tribes, but he cared more about the lessons of the attack on those barbarians and the bureaucratic tribes, seeing that they were obedient and didn't dare to blow up the thorns at all, Zhong Hao felt very happy.

Of course, Zhong Hao didn't care much about this money, but he couldn't pull it off at all, and the cavalry soldiers in the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army he brought out single-handedly extorted those barbarians and bureaucrats tribes, but he didn't have any mercy, and the disaster money that should be collected should not be less.

Zhong Hao felt that he should indeed do the same, otherwise, how to ensure that his own commander demonstrated to these barbarians and weakened the goals of these barbarians.

…………

When the cavalry of the Western Army swept all the way from those fetters and arrived in Guangyuan Prefecture, they had really looted a lot of money.

Of course, when I arrived in Guangyuan Prefecture, this sweeping thing could not be stopped.

In addition to the Nong people in Guangyuan Prefecture, there are also the Huang, Wei, and Zhou tribes, which also occupy a large part of the territory. These four major tribes are the main tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture, and the rest are small tribes.

Nong Zhigao is the culprit of this Lingnan Rebellion, and he is the main target of the Western Army's cavalry to search for this time, and the Huang, Wei, and Zhou clans also followed Nong Zhigao to participate in the rebellion, and this time they are naturally among the Western Army's purges.

Guangyuan Prefecture is basically controlled by these four families, and other small tribes are directly or indirectly under their control, anyway, for the Western Army, they are all the same, basically they are the objects of their wealth and harvest, so all the tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture are the targets of the Western Army.

At present, the cavalry of the Western Army, under the leadership of Di Qing, swept all the way west from the east of Guangyuan Prefecture.

Di Qing did not go directly to the territory of Nong Zhigao's clan to arrest Nong Zhigao. If Nong Zhigao was directly captured, wouldn't the cavalry of the Western Army have less excuses to sweep. The line sweep and extortion are enough, and those barbarians and wingmen tribes are completely suppressed, and it is not too late to arrest Nong Zhigao.

Wait until the cavalry of the Western Army has swept enough, and then go straight to the Yufeng Mountain area where the Nong Zhigao tribe is concentrated.

This Yufeng Mountain area is the nest of the Nong Zhigao tribe, and it is said that there are gold mines that produce red gold. When the cavalry of the Western Army heard about this, they were very excited, what could be more real than gold, this is the real treasure.

…………

Ten days ago, Nong Zhigao and the only remaining 500 Nong soldiers under his command were escorted back to Guangyuan Prefecture by the two battalions of 1,000 Jiaozhi soldiers sent by Li De'an, digging up the treasures he had buried from the Lingnan and Guangxi regions.

Li De'an asked the Jiaozhi soldiers of these two battalions to go to the treasure buried by Nong Zhigao and transport them back to his base camp Luocheng.

At that time, Li De'an was already planning to start a war with the Western Army, and if his troops could not be dispersed, he felt that he would try not to disperse. Moreover, Li De'an felt that there should be no problem with a thousand strong Jiaozhi soldiers to escort Nong Zhigao, the five hundred disarmed Nong soldiers.

Moreover, Li De'an felt that Nong Zhigao had been completely defeated by the Western Army at that time, and he no longer had any strength, and he would definitely not dare to play any tricks in front of the powerful Jiaozhi Army that had repeatedly beaten him. Nong Zhigao no longer has any capital, if he plays any small tricks, he may face the fate of being completely strangled by the Jiaozhi army and completely annihilating their Nong clan.

According to Nong Zhigao's own confession, the treasures he buried were all small, lightweight but valuable treasures. After all, he transported from Liangguang to Guangyuanzhou, trekking all the way, and the treasures that were too big and heavy were not easy to transport, and they were not easy to buri. This thousand Jiaozhi soldiers should be enough to transport this light, small but valuable treasure to Luocheng.

At that time, Li Dean obviously didn't expect Nong Zhigao to dare to lie to him!

Unexpectedly, Nong Zhigao not only coaxed him with clever words to take the Jiaozhi army to fight with the powerful Western Army, but also arranged a back road for himself.

Although the 500 Nong soldiers under Nong Zhi's command were disarmed and removed, they had another way to deal with the Jiaozhi soldiers who escorted them.

…………

Time goes back to ten days ago, in the cave of a gold ore vein in Yufeng Mountain.

Nong Zhigao is instructing the Nanon soldiers he brought with him to find the so-called treasure.

The terrain of Guangyuan Prefecture has many underground caves, and there are many huge underground caves in this Yufeng Mountain. This huge underground cave is very large, and the big 500 Nong soldiers and 1,000 Jiaozhi soldiers are all in this cave, and there is no sense of crampedness, but they still feel extremely empty.

It is precisely because there are many underground karst caves here in Yufeng Mountain that the gold ore veins of Yufeng Mountain can only be found by the Nong people who are familiar with the geological structure of Yufeng Mountain and the distribution of karst caves.

Outsiders can often only dig a little along the vein, and then dig to a huge karst cave, and once the vein is broken, the gold vein can no longer be found.

More than ten years ago, the Jiaozhi army completely defeated the Nong people, and at that time, even Nong Zhigao and Nong Zhigao's father, Nong Quanfu, who was the leader of the Nong tribe at that time, were arrested by the Jiaozhi army. At that time, the Jiaozhi army thought that they had mined in this Yufeng Mountain. But they also encountered the same problem, these gold veins are too easy to break, once they encounter the cave, they will be disconnected, and it will be difficult to find them.

In the end, the Cochin people had no way to dig their own gold mines, so they had to continue to let the Nong people mine on their own. So he cut down Nong Zhigao's father, Nong Quanfu, and let Nong Zhigao, who was still young at that time and not very prestigious, continue to serve as the leader of the Nong clan and mine for their Jiaozhi people.

The Jiaozhi people felt that this would not only prevent the Nong people from causing trouble, but also allow the Nong people to dig up gold for them. Moreover, these Nong people dig gold for the Jiaozhi people, and they can keep some of it themselves, and they have less determination to resist.

The Jiaozhi people did not calculate that Nong Zhigao was a more ambitious and capable hero than his father Nong Quanfu. It is estimated that if he had known that Nong Zhigao was so able to make trouble, he might not have made the decision he made at the beginning.

The Nong people have always believed that this Yufeng Mountain gold mine is a gift from God to them the wealth of the Nong people, so they also worship and miss this Yufeng Mountain.

The Nong people regard Yufeng Mountain as their treasure land and blessed land, and they have always set up their base camp in this Yufeng Mountain area regardless of their power or decline.

Nong Zhigao had already told the commander of the two battalions who had escorted them to the two battalions that he had taken from the Lingnan and Guangxi regions that the treasures he had looted were hidden in a large cave in Yufeng Mountain.

The commanders of the two Jiaozhi armies were convinced of this. They also know that there are many karst caves in this Yufeng Mountain, and these many karst caves are connected, and their Nong people are very familiar with these karst caves, and it is indeed a good place to bury treasures. Outsiders are not familiar with these caves of Yufeng Mountain, and it is easy to get lost when they enter these caves, and it is indeed difficult to find this buried treasure.

According to Nong Zhigao, his treasures were buried in several places to prevent them from being easily discovered. In addition to Nong Zhigao knowing the location of these buried treasures, according to him, his two prime ministers also knew, at this time, the three of them were looking for those buried treasures with a part of the Nong soldiers, hoping to find out all these treasures quickly.

"I said, Nong Zhigao, where is your baby buried? Why haven't you dug it yet, it can't be a little bit of us, right? Tell you, if you dare to shake us, Lao Tzu won't spare you! Zhu Dayue, the commander of one of the battalions of the Jiaozhi soldiers, said.

Guan Santong, the commander of another battalion, also said loudly: "That's it, Malier's, find it quickly, let's take it away, and go back to rest." You Nong scum should also do what you should do, you guys are fed up with drilling so many caves with you! ”
