The sun is shining!

Rays of sunlight shine on the ground through the gaps in the forest, forming dazzling pillars of light. The thick forest blocked the scorching sun, and the shade of the trees was still cool.

Tremble!

A slight rustling sound suddenly sounded in the silent mountain forest, and a group of embarrassed Nanyi people appeared in the dense forest.

There were more than 30 people in this group, all of them were stout, black, and their hands and faces were covered with dark red blood scabs.

"King, after crossing this dense forest, we are in the territory of Yuzhou, and we will be safe!"

At the front of the team, E Huan stood beside Gao Ding, his pale face was covered by a thick blood scab, and the root of his left arm was wrapped in red-stained numbness.

In the fierce battle that day, he was almost buried under the joint efforts of Zhao Yun and Yue Xi, but fortunately his henchmen were rescued from the desperate death, but his left arm was also cut off by a soldier of the Guards Battalion.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since the decisive battle outside the city of Nan'an, and on the same day, Sima Yu, the king of the south, led 130,000 troops to destroy hundreds of thousands of Nanyi troops in a battle outside the city, killing the Nanyi army with a river of blood, corpses all over the field, captured wounded soldiers, surrendered as many as 150,000 soldiers, and only 40,000 Alan tribes of the 400,000 Nanyi army escaped.

And Gao Ding and them also hid in the mountains and forests for 10 days before they escaped the search of the Southern Wang Army.

"When I return to the tribe, I will gather a large army to exterminate the Alan tribe!"

Gao Ding's pale face showed a look of happiness for the rest of his life, and then thinking of the betrayal of the Alan tribe at the last moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said fiercely.

Now Gao Ding's heart no longer has the original spirit, and there is only the fear of the combat power of the southern royal army, and the hatred of the Alan tribe.

Through this battle, Gao Ding and they have recognized a fact, compared with the southern king army, they are really too far behind.

Whether it is combat readiness, the soldiers' will to fight, or the officers' command and combat ability, they are crushed in all aspects.

130,000 people defeated the 400,000 Nanyi army head-on, this battle will become their lifelong nightmare, and the Nanyi people have lost the strength to compete with the southern king army again.

The army, which accounted for one-fifth of the population of the Nanyi departments in Sanzhou, was gone, and the loss of such a large number of young and strong people in a short period of time was a devastating blow to the Nanyi tribes who lived by hunting in the mountains and forests. Whether they will survive this winter is a big question.

"Yes, we must punish the Alan tribe severely!"

"Encircle and suppress the Alan tribe!"

Gao Ding's words were immediately echoed by a group of people, and they also hated the Alan tribe in their hearts, if it weren't for their betrayal at the critical moment, they would not have been defeated so badly, and maybe they could bring back some of their clansmen.

Tremble!

Just when everyone was indignantly denouncing the Alan tribe, there was a rapid rustling sound not far away, and a Nanyi man who was exploring the way in front rushed back.

"King, there is a situation ahead!"

The Nanyi man came to Gao Ding's body and panted, his face extremely shocked with disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

Gao Ding's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked.

"Front, front, a lot of corpses!"

Pointing not far ahead, the Nanyi man said intermittently.

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

Gao Ding glanced at E Huan and the others, and a bad feeling rose in his heart, so he stepped out first and walked in the direction he pointed.

The Nanyi man who followed the news walked for more than 1 mile, stepped out of the edge of the mountain forest, and the vision in front of him suddenly opened up.

At this time, at the edge of the mountain forest, several other Nanyi people who were exploring the path were standing in place, looking ahead with a blank expression.

"This!"

Looking at the scene ahead, Gao Ding felt his throat tighten, unable to speak.

Immediately on the edge of the mountain forest is a mess of rocks, the foot of the mountain is full of scattered rubble, some large and some small, and these gravel is covered with layers of corpses, dark red blood stains render the whole land, the air is filled with a strong smell of corpses, many large gravel are covered with traces left by the impact of arrows.

"The king, it's from the Alan tribe!"

Covering his nose and enduring the stench floating in the air, E Huan took someone forward to check it, and then returned to Gao Ding and whispered, his voice trembling slightly.

It was clear that this was a battlefield, and judging from the traces left at the scene and the roughly counted number of people counted by Ehuan, the army of 40,000 Alan tribes was almost all lost here, and layers of corpses continued to pile up from the foot of the mountain to the valley mouth at the end of the rocky hill.

It was a premeditated massacre!

In this area, only the southern king army has the strength to leave all the 40,000 Alan tribe troops here, and it seems that when the decisive battle started, they quietly set up ambushes here, and even if it is an ambush, if you want to be able to completely annihilate the 40,000 Alan tribe army, the southern king army in ambush here is at least more than 20,000, or even more.

If the southern royal army had put all these forces into the decisive battle early on, I am afraid they would have lost even faster!

Tremble!

Just when the atmosphere of the scene was stagnant, there was a sound in the mountains and forests hundreds of meters away from Gaoding them, and a black flag was erected in the grass, and the black ink unicorn danced with the wind, slowly coming towards Gaoding them.

"Hurry up, King! I'll cover you! ”

Looking at the Southern Wang Jun who suddenly appeared behind him, E Huan's expression changed greatly, and he stepped in front of Gao Ding, urging anxiously.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Behind him, beside the rubble on both sides of the rocky hill, a group of cavalry in black armor also poured out.

"It's useless!"

The sudden enemy army calmed down Gao Ding, and he was cut off from the back road, but he was able to calmly face the southern Wang army, and pushed away E Huandao, and now there are not many people who are willing to fight for him, and he doesn't want to see E Huan die in vain.

There were about 2,000 people in the front and rear teams of the Southern King Army, and they quickly poured towards them.

"Feng Guoyong, the captain of the guards battalion of the Zhongjun Army in the lower south, has been ordered by the king to wait here for a long time!"

A black military flag engraved with the word Feng danced in the wind, Feng Guoyong, who was in armor, stood dozens of meters away from Gaoding surrounded by guards, rode on a war horse and arched his hand, and behind him a column of heavily armored guards stood in line, and the cavalry of the guards led by Feng Sheng on the other side surrounded Gaoding and them.

"Guards!"

Hearing the words of the guards, a flash of fire flashed in E Huan's eyes, and he wanted to bully himself, but was firmly held by Gao Ding.

On that day, on the battlefield, E Huan clearly remembered that the general who almost beheaded him under his horse was the commander of the Guards, and his arm was also cut off by the Guards soldiers.

"Today's defeat, I am convinced of Gaoding's defeat, but it is not so easy to take my head!"

Restraining the impulsive E Huan, Gao Ding was not afraid of the heavy encirclement of the guards, and looked at Feng Guoyong and said proudly.

As the king who once ruled Sanzhou Nanyi, he has to retain his dignity even if he dies.

"King Yue Wangyi is serious, if my monarch intends to take the life of King Gao, King Gao may not be able to escape here!"

Feng Guoyong shook his head when he heard this, and after hearing this, Gao Ding stared at him tightly without saying a word.

"This is the burial place of the Alan tribe's army, 40,000 Alan tribe deserters have all been buried here, and at the same time, Qin Liangyu, the general of my expedition to the west, has led 30,000 western troops to the Alan tribe, and this tribe will soon become a thing of the past. This is a great gift from my king to the king, as long as the king agrees to the king's two conditions, we will let the king leave safely! ”

Feng Guoyong pointed to the rocky hill not far away and said lightly.

"On what terms?"

Gao Ding frowned slightly and asked.

"First, from now on, I will respect the lord of my family, and all the departments of Nanyi will be included in my southern palace; Second, open up the trade routes and allow our Han merchants to enter the three states to operate," Feng Guoyong stretched out two fingers and said slowly.

"No! I, the people of Nanyi, have always admired the brave and swear not to surrender! If I agree to your terms today, tomorrow I will fall into the situation of rebellion."

After hearing this, Gao Ding's face was ugly, and he pondered for a while and slowly shook his head.

"King Gao don't worry, you can not listen to the tune or listen to the announcement, my lord is just asking the Nanyi people to submit in name, and in exchange, we will sell some ordnance to your department, with these ordnance, is King Gao still afraid that someone will not listen to you?"

Feng Guoyong was not discouraged, and continued.

Ordnance!

"Good! I promise you! I, the various departments of Nanyi, would like to respect the king of the south, Lord Sima Yu, as the Lord! ”

Hearing this, Gao Ding, E Huan and others were all shocked, and Gao Ding hurriedly agreed.

In this battle, they personally experienced the sophistication of the weapons and ordnance of the Southern King Army, and if they really had the weapon support of the Southern King Army, Gao Ding was confident that the defeat in this battle would quickly minimize the blow to his prestige.

As for Feng Guoyong's nominal submission, Gao Ding actually didn't take it to heart at all, for the Nanyi people, if the Han people are strong, they can surrender, if the Han people are weak, they can rebel at any time, and it doesn't matter to them whether they surrender or not.

With a nominal submission, not only can he save his life, but also in exchange for the support of the southern royal army, this is a good deal.

"Good! Permission for the tall king! ”

Feng Guoyong's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't say anything more, and directly raised his voice to Feng Shengdao behind Gao Ding.

Soon, Feng Sheng and the others got out of the way, and Gao Ding arched his hand towards Feng Guoyong, leading the men and horses to leave quickly.

"Second brother, is it true that the king will let them go so simply?"

It wasn't until Gao Ding and they disappeared from sight that Feng Guoyong, who had always maintained a serious look, turned around and asked Feng Sheng with a puzzled face, he couldn't understand why Sima Yu wanted to let Gao Ding leave in vain.

"Simple? Hehe, big brother, after Gao Ding goes back, it will be difficult for all the departments of Nanyi to have a day of unity and unity! ”

Hearing this, Feng Sheng looked at the direction in which Gao Ding and they were leaving, and sneered.

Gao Ding was not only defeated in this battle, losing hundreds of thousands of troops, but also recognized Sima Yu as the master, once this news spread among the Nanyi tribes, his prestige will fall to a low point, and the Nanyi tribes will be ready to move, even if Gao Ding finally relies on the strength of the Gao clan to suppress the ministry, the ministries will fall into a situation of discord between the ministries and hearts.

At this time, as the suzerain, the southern king forces can stand on the commanding heights of righteousness and quickly close the relationship with the Nanyi tribes.

In fact, there is another thing Feng Sheng doesn't know, he doesn't know the power of commerce, as long as Gaoding opens up the trade routes, the influx of merchants under the rule of the king of the south into the three states will definitely have a huge impact on the life of the Nanyi tribes, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, under the impact of various abundant material conditions, it will soon slowly corrode and infiltrate into the lives of the Nanyi tribes, and unconsciously control the three states and the Nanyi tribes.
