Two days later, relying on the marching map and disguise, Liu Xing and his party arrived in Chenyang (Houchenxi) County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is only more than 200 miles away from the Wuling Mountains, and the mountain road is indeed not easy to move forward, but it is not a problem for Liu Xing and his party. Even before entering the mountains, they disguised themselves and sneaked into the county town to sell some wolf skins and bear skins they hunted, and the price was kept low.

For these strange mountain people, the officials here don't care, in the end, there are too many mountain ranges in Wuling County, and there are also a lot of mountain people, and occasionally there are some mountain people who have not been seen before, in fact, there is nothing strange. There was no news of an enemy invasion from the front, which meant that there really wasn't much of a fuss.

It is estimated that there is no way to imagine that the dozen or so mountain people who traded with them were actually disguised by enemy troops. If it weren't for Liu Xing's purpose not to conquer the city, Chenyang County would have been captured.

Wuling Mountain and Wuyi Mountain were similar in this era, and there were no administrative units in this area at all. There may be a lot of villages or something, but there is not a single county town in the huge area.

It is also more than 250 miles to the south to reach the southernmost part of Wuling County, if the local area is not close to Jiaozhou, the defenders are afraid of less than 100 people in peacetime, since the establishment of Shu Han, it has become a front-line stronghold, so the defenders have been promoted to more than 5,000 people.

In Chenyang County, I also heard some news, and this time the Xiahou brothers are said to have sent troops to Qianling and Youyang. He also used to purchase military rations in Chenyang and Yuanling, but it was also a small transaction. One is to supply nearby, and the other is to boost the local economy.

It's a pity that I don't know how many people there are, I only know that Wulingman and the Shu Han army have already fought a preliminary battle. If you don't think about setting fire to the mountain, there is no benefit, but I am afraid that the Xiahou brothers will already burn the mountain, no matter what, it is easier than fighting a mountain battle directly.

At present, the Xiahou brothers still don't know the core of Wulingman, and the latter has no choice but to shrink the defense line when several sneak attacks are fruitless and directly crushed.

"Lead the way!" Entering the Wuling Mountains, even Liu Xing and they have no advantage. The experience of mountain warfare is still there, but if you have to fight in an unfamiliar mountain environment, your combat effectiveness will inevitably decline.

The one who led the way this time was the envoy sent by Wuling Man, who is said to be the son of the contemporary barbarian king, named Shamoke, who is only about ten years old this year. In the end, it is a child who grew up in the mountains, Shamoko looks about the same as others at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and his strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary adult, God knows what it will be like when he grows up.

Unfortunately, although he can speak Chinese, he himself has little understanding of Han culture, and he is even less aware of the art of war. He may be good at mountain warfare, after all, Wuling Mountain is his hometown. But leaving Wuling Mountain, the strength will also be greatly reduced.

Many generals in the military feel that Shamoke is a good seedling, but unfortunately he is not from the Chinese Republic. The key is that he is also the heir of the Wuling Barbarian King...... However, Jia Xu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still suggested that he might as well be recruited into the military, so that he could better control the mountain people in the four southern counties in the future.

That's why Liu Xing was also building a good relationship with him during this time, giving him some gadgets, so that Shamoke also regarded Liu Xing as a big brother. However, for the existence outside the clan, the young man still maintains a vigilant heart, but he is a young man.

After entering the familiar mountainous area, Shamoke scurried around in the mountains and forests, and if it weren't for the compass and military map navigation, he really didn't know that this kid had taken them around in a big circle.

This map was given by Li Yu himself, and it almost completely marked the terrain around Wuling Mountain in this era. Shamoke didn't learn to understand it, but Liu Xing and they could understand it, and it was obvious that this kid was taking them around in circles.

Even, after simple measurements, they also deduced the approximate direction and location, and without considering the routes around the circle, they had already roughly deduced where the core area where Wulingman was located. Of course, everyone has their own secrets, and Shamoke maintains the secrets of Wulingman, and they naturally have to maintain the secrets of the map.

Everyone cooperated with the acting in this way, and finally entered the core area.

Leaving lush woods and mountains, they found themselves in a basin-like environment. In the valley, there are a large number of wooden houses, even shacks, which are the largest settlements in Wulingman.

"Sha'er, you're back? Are they the mission over there? The old barbarian king personally led people to greet him, as if he had known that Shamoko had returned.

It is not difficult to see that Shamoko may not simply take them around in circles. Maybe it was to avoid the ambush area of Wulingman, or to go directly to the ambush area, so that people who knew him could report to the old barbarian king. If it is the latter, then Liu Xing and the others dare to continue to follow this path next time without warning, then they will be unlucky.

"Daddy, they're not missions, they're soldiers who came to support! They dispatched a thousand people this time, and three hundred people remained in Lingling and Guiyang, this is General Liu Xingliu, who is in charge of the commander-in-chief this time! Shamoko knew that his father had misunderstood, so he stepped forward to explain.

The old barbarian king couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he sent troops in the hope that the disaster would lead to the east and lead the Huaxia Republic and Shu Han to the death, so that their pressure would disappear. As for what to say, to take the land of the four counties, together with the words such as the above mountain people taking refuge in the Huxia Republic, it is more of a diplomatic term.

Let's not say that the four southern counties were not his territory in the first place, and that he was just the barbarian king of Wuling, maybe he also had a certain prestige among the barbarians in the other three counties, but he definitely couldn't do it, let them obey his orders and follow him to whomever he wants.

Of course, none of that matters. At present, the Huaxia Republic has only sent 1,000 people out, which is obviously not intended to fight with Shu Han, so his plan must be changed. But for these 400 people, he is still very disdainful, he Wulingman can call more than 100,000 people at once, and even pull up 1 million people without considering the food problem.

Wuling barbarians are good warriors both men and women, and there are still more than 2 million Wuling barbarians in the entire Wuling Mountains. After deducting the children and the elderly, the rest can participate in the battle as warriors. For a long time, the big Han couldn't help them, and they lived in the mountains to occupy a favorable location, and the huge number of soldiers was also the key.

Even if there are few people from the Chinese Republic, the leader is still a yellow-haired boy! This made the old barbarian king even more unhappy!

Liu Xing is only twenty-one years old this year, and he just won the championship last year, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a yellow-haired boy. But Liu Xing has joined Li Yu since 180, studied literature for a few years, and studied martial arts for a few years.

He is a member of the Han imperial family, and this identity is very sensitive, so Li Yu did not give him any privileges, but he also opened the rights of all citizens of the Huxia Republic to him. He has come to this point completely because of his own strength, and has nothing to do with anything else. Seeing the disdainful eyes of the barbarian king, Liu Xing just showed a cold look, but it was also fleeting.

"Lieutenant Colonel of the Republic of China, off-road general Liu Xing, I have seen the Sand Patriarch!" Liu Xing slowly stepped forward and reported to his home.

"What is the position of lieutenant colonel?" The old barbarian king asked suspiciously, not with contempt, but because he really didn't understand this position. It is said that he still knows more or less about the military positions of the Great Han, but what kind of official position the lieutenant colonel is unheard of.

"Lieutenant colonel is one of the ranks of the military rank system promulgated by the Chinese Republic last year, from the newly enlisted private, the first class soldier of the higher rank, to the sergeant major, the corporal, the sergeant, to the warrant officer, the second lieutenant, the lieutenant captain, and then to the brigadier colonel, lieutenant colonel, colonel, and colonel. At the top of the ranks are major generals, lieutenant generals and generals, and at the highest level are marshals.

Liu is a cross-country general, and he can command 5,000 people under his command according to the establishment, but the army has not yet been expanded, so there are only 1,000 people under his command. The corresponding military rank is lieutenant colonel! Liu Xing replied truthfully.

There is another thing he did not say, that is, with the progress of science and technology, the Republic of China is ready to carry out new adaptations, some weapons are about to be eliminated, and some in the army are also about to be reorganized. The era of relying on numbers to fight will gradually become obsolete, and skirmishers of a few elites will become the mainstream.

In other words, in the past, it was not surprising that a lieutenant in the Han Dynasty was in charge of 5,000 people, but in the Chinese Republic, it is not surprising that a lieutenant can really only be in charge of 1,000 people. Liu Xing is only a lieutenant colonel, and when the time comes, he is afraid that he will only be able to command 500 people, unless he is promoted to colonel. However, it is said that there will also be changes in military establishment and official positions, but it is not known as to what happened.

A team of 5,000 people, in the Han Dynasty or even the Shu Han Dynasty, the commander is almost also a general. Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan each have 5,000 soldiers under their command. The old barbarian king didn't expect that this Liu Xing looked young, and he was already a first-level existence of the Xiahou brothers, so he let go of some contempt.

The more than 400 people brought by Liu Xing are indeed not enough in his opinion, and there is still a long way to go for him to completely respect the other party.

"We only have two reasons for coming this time!" Liu Xing was too lazy to talk nonsense with the old barbarian king, "According to the decision of the Huaxia Republic, the Supreme People's Congress." Assign a thousand of us to infiltrate Shu Han and contact you.

There are only two purposes: to help you deal with the army of Shu Han; Help you to migrate to the territory of the Republic of China and enjoy equal civil rights. The initial resettlement expenses will be arranged by the Huaxia government, and in the territory of the Huaxia Republic, you will be able to contract the land that belongs to you, and even if you have money, you will be able to buy a house that belongs to you in the city......"

"When are we going to migrate to the Chinese Republic?" The old barbarian king immediately retorted.

"Brother Xiahou has already opened up a path, they are not in a hurry, and they can also see that Shu Han intends to completely develop Wuling and cut off the possibility of you continuing to repeat. You either migrate to Nanzhong or to the mountains of Jiaozhou, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before you are exterminated. But when you migrate to other places, although you are also starting from scratch, your essential status and rights have not changed, and you are still lowly mountain people with no household registration!

Or are you going to fight to the death with the Xiahou brothers or even the Shu Han army? Now that they have gradually stabilized in Guanzhong, more troops will be involved in the operation to destroy you, how long can you resist? Even if you are all bloody, you should think about the happiness and future of the elderly, weak, women and children in your clan, as well as the future generations, right? "Liu Xing also once served as a civilian official, if you want to talk about debating ability, he is the most powerful existence in the army, regardless of staff officers and Chen Tao.

According to the intelligence, the Xiahou brothers did recruit a lot of people, used cement concrete, and built a road in Qianling County, directly towards Wuling Mountain and the core area. The existence of Wulingman had already disgusted Shu Han, and with the improvement of armaments and road construction technology, it seemed that they had planned to do it once and for all.

The old barbarian king was not stupid, he naturally understood, and his expression suddenly became serious...... (To be continued.) )
