Chapter 122: Return
Huang Quan didn't urge the vulture to make a decision, anyway, the three-day time limit, two days have passed now, and the vulture has to count the time to go back to Ye Zhao to report the victory, the road has been pointed out to him, as for how to choose, that is the vulture bone's own business.
Huang Quan left the vulture bone to think alone, and went to another camp to rest, this day's rush, over a mountain range, he is not a vulture bone who grew up with fierce beasts in the mountains and forests since he was a child, although he has also learned martial arts, but he is not a fierce general, he is not so good physique, and he has to rush back tomorrow, so he needs to rest well.
In the evening, the vulture summoned two of his friends, one was the former Tu'an, and the other was also a military commander, named Xini, and the two were also loyal supporters of the vulture bone.
It was also the vulture bone that had enough prestige to be convinced by the generals and soldiers of the army, and he could easily transfer the lord's guard away.
In the handsome tent, there was a faint burst of obscenity, when the vulture bone took Tu'an and Xini into the tent, he saw their lord lying naked on the soft mattress, two women who had been robbed from Nanzhong were also without a strand of body, and the three bodies were entangled, and the continuous sound made Tu'an and Xini blush, and it was hard to imagine that the lord of the country, who was nearly fifty years old, still had such a strong body and energy.
"Lord of the Kingdom!" The vulture's face became ugly, and at this time, he was still thinking about these messy things.
"Vulture bones!?" The old lord was suddenly interrupted and startled, and after seeing the person coming, he said with some annoyance: "Whoever let you in, don't let me get out!" ”
"Let's go!" Ignoring the infinite spring light of the two frightened women huddled together, the vulture bone looked at the old countryman.
"What's the matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" The old lord was interrupted from his good deeds, and he was in a very irritable mood at the moment, and shouted directly outside the tent: "Come on, drive these three bastards out for me!" ”
The vulture bone's face was gloomy, and Tu'an on the side couldn't help but sneer: "The lord of the country is so majestic, you are merry and happy here, but the warriors are in danger of destroying the country because of your stupidity!" ”
"What did you say!?" The old lord's face changed, and he finally reacted, and the three of them came in for a long time, but there was no reaction at all outside, so he was immediately furious, stood up and pointed at the vulture bone: "Vulture bone, you want to rebel!?" ”
"Don't dare!" The vulture said in a deep voice: "But for the sake of the peace of the Ugo country, I implore the lord of the country to agree to the conditions of the lord of Shu, my Ugo country is small and weak, and I can't afford to bear the anger of the Han people!" ”
"It can't be!" The old lord roared, "Do you know what you're talking about? How far are the Han people from the country of Ugo, it is impossible for their troops to hit the country of Ugo! ”
"But the people of the 36th Cave in Southern Xinjiang can, and now most of the soldiers and horses gathered in Yunnan are from the 36th Cave, and their men and horses are united to attack, if you don't use the rattan armor soldiers, we are not opponents, with the rattan armor soldiers, they can use the fire attack to burn us all to death! If the country of Ugo didn't have these 30,000 sons, it wouldn't be long before it would die! The vulture looked at the old countryman.
"What if I just don't say yes!?" The old lord looked at the vulture bone with a cold gaze.
"In this case, then please ask the lord of the country to give way to the vulture bone!" Tu'an on the side slowly pulled out his short knife, and looked at the old lord with a fierce look in his eyes: "You will lead us to destruction, we need a more rational lord!" ”
"You ...... Is it really a rebellion? The old lord kicked the woman beside him away, pulled out a one-handed long knife from under the soft mattress, and slashed at the vultures.
"Be careful!" Xi Ni and Tu'an hurriedly stepped forward, but they were stopped by the vulture bone waving his hand, and grabbed the long knife with his right hand.
"Death~" The old lord shouted angrily, the muscles all over his body rose up, the roots of the green tendons jumped out, and he slashed down hard, the blade cut the palm of the vulture bone, and the blood flowed down the arm, but there was no pain on the face of the vulture bone, but he looked at the old lord in his eyes, and gradually became murderous.
"Since the lord of the kingdom doesn't listen to me, then ......" The vulture bone's eyes became hideous: "Please die!" ”
The hand holding the blade suddenly exerted force, and the old lord felt a strong force surging from the hilt of the knife, and the back of the knife was pressed his head by the vultures.
"Snort~" The vulture bone did not change hands, and directly put the blade on the neck of the old lord, and in the roar of the old lord's anger, he cut his throat with a knife, and let the blood splash on him, and he didn't blink his eyes.
"I'll see the lord of the kingdom!" Seeing this, Xi Ni and Tu'an were overjoyed, knelt down together, and bowed to the vultures.
"Immediately gather everyone, announce the news that the old lord is dead and I will become the new lord, and in addition, order everyone to take off the rattan armor and put it on the car, and inform the Han people I brought, just say that the matter has been done!" Looking at the dead corpse of the old lord, the vulture took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The two nodded, and each ran to carry out the order of the vulture.
It was already the middle of the night, but the order of the vulture bone was still quickly executed, and a famous vine armor soldier disassembled the rattan armor on his body, and according to the order of the vulture bone, it took dozens of vehicles to load.
The vultures also ordered the women and children who had been taken captive, as well as their belongings, to be handed over to Huang Quan together.
"Lord, this woman and child, they took it away, but those belongings ......" Xi Ni was a little unwilling: "Without these things, I'm afraid we won't even have food to go back." ”
The vulture bone frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Don't worry!" Huang Quan's voice sounded, but he saw Huang Quan coming from a distance, and saluted to the vulture bones: "Before coming down, my lord has already instructed your subordinates, if the lord is willing to release these captives and hand over these rattan armors, the property that the old lord looted in southern Xinjiang before will be given to your state, and if the food is not enough, my lord will give another batch of food later, and if your state needs anything in the future, you can send someone to ask for support at any time, my lord appreciates the lord's personality and bravery, Willing to form a friendship with the country of Ugo. ”
The vulture took a deep breath and saluted Huang Quan: "Please thank the Lord of Shu for me, after I stabilize the country, I will send someone to hand over the table to the Lord of Shu, as long as the Lord of Shu remains unchanged, my Ugo Kingdom is willing to be a subject country of the Great Han." ”
"Definitely!" Huang Quan returned the salute.
Although most of the captives were women and children, the women of southern Xinjiang were different from Han women, and their physique was not inferior to that of men.
Huang Quan and the vulture bones were busy all night, and after counting the number of rattan armors, they directly formed a team of these women to escort the goods to Yunnan.
After saying goodbye to the vulture bones, Huang Quan quickly got in touch with Gu Cheng who was around the vulture bones, and asked Gu Cheng to send someone to inform Ye Zhao to send troops to come to respond, Ye Zhao got the news the next day, and sent people to bring grain and grass to collect, those women and children, Ye Zhao did not put them back in place, and the cave masters were angry to find the vulture bones desperately, and were killed three or four on the spot, and most of the people who are alive now have been sent to the city.
Ye Zhao was ready to send these women and children to settle down in Shuzhong to speed up the integration of the barbarians.
After returning to Yunnan, Ye Zhao sent people to send some grain and grass to the vultures, so that they would have enough food to make up for the loss of this army, plus the property plundered from southern Xinjiang, at least they would not lose money.
After everything was dealt with, Ye Zhao feasted the generals in Yunnan, although there were still a few cave masters such as Meng Yu who were unwilling to give up and wanted to make a comeback after Ye Zhao left, but most of the barbarians in the south had already surrendered, and now there was only one place left.
At the beginning of June, Ye Zhao sent Gan Ning, Hua Xiong, and Huang Quan as generals, each leading 3,000 Han troops and barbarian mixed armies to go on an expedition, from Sun Shui, Gufu, and Suiren, and swept through Yuewang, and at the same time, Guan Ping and Zhang Ren, who had been stationed in Zhuti, also received orders to counterattack Yuewang.
The king of Yue Wan was attacked by the enemy, and the thirty-six caves in southern Xinjiang were all surrendered, and only Yue Wan was left, and he was unable to stop Ye Zhao at all, and after barely supporting it for a month, in July, the king of Yue Wan was killed by Guan Ping in the chaos army, and the barbarians of the twenty-four caves of Yue Wan all surrendered, so far, the southern expedition that took more than half a year came to an end.
However, unlike Meng Yu's expectations, after the four counties were pacified, Ye Zhao did not withdraw the army, but mixed the Han army brought with the barbarians who surrendered, and then took 500 as a battalion to guard everywhere and dredge the roads, and at the same time transferred 100,000 displaced people from Shuzhong into Yunnan, and the Shengong battalion also summoned a large number of craftsmen, experienced old farmers, and masons into Nanzhong, and began large-scale construction.
Manure began to be promoted, and in addition to the limited flat land for farming, Ye Zhao also asked people to find suitable places in the mountains and forests to raise some animals suitable for mountain survival, or to plant some special products that only Yunnan can have.
It took more than half a year to go out to Nanban Ye Zhao, but the governance and construction of Nanzhong, Ye Zhao spent three years, from July of the first year of Jian'an to the winter of the third year of Jian'an, the infrastructure of Nanzhong, roads, plank roads and economic forms were gradually formed, in three years, Ye Zhao built ten cities including Yunnan, each of which was built according to the drawings planned by the designer, which could make the flying boat land, so that the news between the Nanzhong region and Shuzhong was smooth, and the construction of cement roads and cement plank roads also made the traffic between the two places gradually improved.
In the second year of Jian'an, Meng Shu and other cave owners who had been unwilling to surrender saw hopelessness, and the other cave clansmen had been completely integrated into the life of the Han people, and in desperation, they also chose to surrender, and were arranged by Ye Zhao to various places in Shuzhong, for these speculative people, Ye Zhao did not let them continue to stay in southern Xinjiang.
Although Meng Huo and the others were reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice at this time.
In December of the third year of Jian'an, Ye Zhao, who spent three years in southern Xinjiang, set off to return to Chengdu / capital by flying boat after the ecology of southern Xinjiang was completely on the right track, Huang Quan was appointed by Ye Zhao as the Taishou of Jianning, and continued to coordinate the affairs of southern Xinjiang, Yuewang and Zhu Ti were a county, and Zhang Ren was appointed as the Taishou, Gan Ning was appointed by Ye Zhao as the Taishou of Qiqi, Guan Ping was appointed as the Taishou of Yongchang, and continued to sit in Nanzhong, supervising the development of the four counties, and the 50,000 troops led by Guan Yu and Xu Rong returned to Shuzhong, only 15,000 people when they came, and now they have returned to Shuzhong, But it became an army of 50,000, and this trip to southern Xinjiang was equivalent to laying a solid foundation for Ye Zhao completely.
