Three hundred and sixty-nine Nanban Caves
Deng Zhi has only been in Anshun for a little more than half a year, and there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in his hands, which is barely enough to defend but there is no way to fight back. The arrival of Liu Zhang's army really surprised him, and he had more or less heard of the Central Plains War at this time, but Liu Zhang was a little ...... to come here at such a critical time
"Lord......" Deng Zhi has only seen Liu Zhang once, and he has not seen Liu Zhang since he went out of Shu County. When he saw Liu Zhang now, he found that Liu Zhang was still the quiet lord.
Liu Zhang jumped down from the horse and patted his body: "How is Bo Miao's side?" Along the way, Liu Zhang boiled a lot of plant water to repel insects, as long as he wiped some on his body, there would be no mosquito bites at night, but it was inevitable that there would be more dust on his body.
Deng Zhi saluted and said: "My lord, those barbarians have robbed every thirty or forty days in the past six months, and we have fought more or less many times, but those people are running fast in the mountains, and there are many caves, so we can't look deep into them." "Deng Zhi is also bitter, he has also organized several counterattacks, but once those barbarians enter the cave, they can't find it at all. They should not dare to go deeper, lest they be ambushed.
Liu Zhang looked at the green mountains in the distance, these people are very comfortable hiding inside, right? Warm in winter and cool in summer? But in such a hot and humid place, you are not afraid of all kinds of skin diseases? Aren't you afraid of rheumatism? But these people don't live to die so old, why do you want to do so much?
"Well, what else is there to hear from that? The news about the Yizhou clan ...... "What Liu Zhang is most worried about is that the local clan unites these people, and that is the real trouble."
Deng Zhi hesitated for a moment and said: "The largest family in the local area is the Yong family, and the contemporary family Yonghong young man succeeded to the throne, and it is rumored that there are quite a few means. I heard that the local aliens trade with them every year to get enough salt, iron, and cloth...... "This is not important news, but you will know after a little inquiry." This is the same as the group of gate lords in Jizhou will trade with the grassland peoples, and they will also trade with foreign people for gold and silver. As for the hapless people? What do they care?
Liu Zhang nodded and said that he knew, this kind of thing has come and gone many times throughout the ages, and there are even many dynasties that are completely finished because of these gate valves. This can be stopped, that is, to make the things that those big gate valves grasp worthless, and secondly, the emergence of industry. If they don't follow him, Liu Zhang promises that whatever they sell, Liu Zhang will let him finish. Selling salt? I'm sorry that salt is not worth much in the future, sell iron? I'm sorry that iron will be even less valuable in the future, anyway, whoever goes right with himself will make them bankrupt......
"How long has it been since the last robbery?" Liu Zhang asked as he walked, and the people nearby were all lightly armed, and seemed to be ready to deal with the looting that came at any time.
Deng Zhi said as he walked, "It's only been fifteen days since the last time, and now they can't grab our things. "Deng Zhi has been defending for so long and has experience.
Liu Zhang glanced at Deng Zhi and said, "When you come out in the future, remember to keep up with a team of guards, the big clan here... Regardless of what happens, you have to remember your own safety and be careful when you travel in the future. "Liu Zhang is very wary of strange clans. There will definitely be no such gate valve in Chang'an......
Deng Zhi was stunned for a moment, but nodded silently. The quick reflection of his mind has already guessed what it means, and he understands this kind of thing if he can't say it explicitly. All the way to the small village, everything here looks dilapidated, even worse than the countryside in the sixties and seventies, only a few mud houses, some fences indicate that this is a gathering place for human beings.
The periphery is a bit miserable, but after all, there are a lot of poor people. It's better to get to the city, which is dilapidated but has a lot of buildings. Along the way, Liu Zhang came to a temporary residence, which was not even as good as his own military camp.
"Tell me about the combat effectiveness of those barbarians?" The barbarians in the mountains must be strong in individual combat, but they are certainly not good overall.
Zheng Du sat on Liu Zhang's side, and Gan Mei made tea for a few adults. Deng Zhi looked at the two of them without any embarrassment, but said: "Barbarians are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and once we enter the mountains and forests, we will suffer heavy losses." Secondly, I calculated them many times, but I found that they were very cunning. "Deng Zhi is helpless that others don't fight with them at all, just robbery. During the Zhuge Liang period, the southern barbarians had a lot of power, and it is estimated that they wanted to compete with Shu because they were inflated. But now the gap between them and Liu Zhang is too big, and it's a bit troublesome just to rob.
After listening to this, Liu Zhang glanced at Zheng Du, who was at ease with the old god: "Do you have any suggestions for Guangxiao?" Liu Zhang thinks that this old boy came back with him, he wants to go on vacation, right? In the era when there are no computers, so many government affairs keep them busy, I guess they want to come out and let it go?
Zheng Du chuckled and said: "A group of clowns who pick up beams, the lord is still interested?" But the big clan in Yizhou is a trouble, is the lord planning to do it? "Zheng Du is a celebrity in Yizhou, but he understands the Tao of these. Following Liu Zhang over the years has naturally had many benefits. For this kind of family that destroys their foundation, I am afraid that there is no need for Liu Zhang to take action, as long as it spreads, the Yong family will naturally perish.
"Collect evidence, and then let Akihime publicize what they did." Liu Zhang is ready to let these big families see the power of newspapers and see what is terrifying.
Zheng Du smiled bitterly: "If the lord doesn't move, this move is the lifeblood of their family." "Liu Zhang is usually really good at talking, as long as he doesn't violate his principles, everything seems to be discussed.
Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "If you want to make money, tell me, how can you endure this kind of sneaky ghost behind your back?" Is there anything you can't talk about in person? Do you have to do it behind your back? This matter is left to Guangxiao, and tomorrow we are going to meet the leader of the Nanban. "Catch a fish and eat better today.
When the army drove to Anshun, Meng Shu already knew about it. The young Meng Shu was very majestic, especially the arm was even more rough and terrifying. Standing at the entrance of the cave with a big stick, Jinhuan scanned the mountains in the distance: "Jinhuan heard that Liu Zhang personally led the army to crusade against us and others, do you have a way?" "The strength of the Han Dynasty naturally understands it, but here the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and Liu Zhang is full of food and supports to crusade against them?
The first marshal of the first cave under the Golden Ring Sanjie Meng was a small man, to put it bluntly, he was a small head. Dressed in animal skins and a mess of bones, he looked like he was savage. A huge double-edged axe has long been stained with rust, but in his hands, it seems to be good?
"King, the Han army is menacing, but they will never be able to go up to the cave, as long as we are on the mountain, they can't beat us." Jinhuan Sanjie has dealt with the Han army for so many years, and those people will definitely not go up the mountain.
Meng You, who nodded and didn't say anything, said: "Big brother heard that the Han army is menacing this time, then Liu Zhang has brought tens of thousands of troops, let's be careful, right?" The marshal of the Bald Dragon Cave, King Dosi, and I have some friendships, why don't you invite the eldest brother to help? And the king of the Vulcan Cave was also invited? When the time comes, the three of us will be able to compete with that person. "Meng You, as Meng Huo's younger brother, still has some intelligence. Of course, this is not intelligence, it is just a subconscious behavior.
"Good idea, immediately invite the king of the Bald Dragon Cave and the Vulcan Cave, this time kill the Han army and abandon the armor, and then Yizhou County will be our territory." Meng Shu has long coveted the rich Yizhou County, but it is a pity that the wealth in his eyes is just a poor ravine in Liu Zhang's eyes.
In Meng Shu's opinion, this kind of behavior was just futile, it was a big deal to hide in the cave, and kill those people one by one as long as they dared to come in. The mountain roads and caves here are what the Han army can understand? In short, Meng Shu was full of confidence, and he was not afraid of Liu Zhang's army at all, and even vaguely had the intention of taking them down.
Compared with the barbarians in the north, Liu Zhang felt that the barbarians in the south were simply hard, and the northern ones had more or less gained an advantage, and even seized the world of the Central Plains Dynasty for a time. But the barbarians in the south seem to have been suppressed all the time, and the slightest spearhead is a severe beating.
Two days later, King Duosi of the Bald Dragon Cave and Zhurong of the Vulcan Cave were all here, and to Meng Shu's surprise, the contemporary king of the Vulcan Cave was actually a woman? Every generation of the king of the Vulcan Cave is called Zhu Rong, looking at the old woman in front of him, and the beautiful woman beside him, he can't imagine that there is such a beauty in the Vulcan Cave?
"You must have known that you came here today, right? The Han people came with a large army, and although we were inferior in numbers to those Han people, our warriors were all brave and good at fighting. This time we defeated the Han army, and we occupied Nayizhou County, and then all of your ethnic groups will have endless food. "Meng Huo is very coveted for the Han people's money, grain and cloth, and I don't know how many resources I can get after defeating the Han army this time.
The old woman snorted coldly and said, "I see that the king has lived in the mountains for a long time, and he has forgotten the strength of the Han army, right?" That Liu Zhang is a hussar general who leads the land of the four states, and according to his seniority, he is the emperor's uncle of the Son of Heaven, and others brought tens of thousands of troops to come to see? After coming, Zhu Rong had already done an investigation, which was also the purpose of her visit. That Liu Zhang is so strong, once they are broken one by one, they will not have a good time at that time.
King Na Duosi also said: "King Zhurong is right, that Liu Zhang is famous, and this time he came to play." We still need to discuss, once the Han army is defeated one by one, I am afraid that we will all die. "As a wise man of an alien race, King Doth naturally has some foresight. Even this time he was invited to have this meaning, if as the most powerful Meng Shu was defeated like this, they probably wouldn't be any better.
