Yunnan's rivers extend in all directions, some of them go in big boats, some can't go, so most of the march of the navy army is crawling in the exploration, sometimes they go forks, and they have to turn back and walk again, but even so, they are still much faster than the army that crosses the mountains and mountains, and in a few days, they will enter the territory of Montessori.

The newly built Nanzhao Royal City has been very lively recently, and the people of the Duo Cheek Department and the Mulu Department always want to try to attack here, but they don't dare to really fight hard, after all, there are more than 20,000 Wang City guards of the Mengshi in the Royal City.

Monado has an elder brother named Meng Yu, contrary to his sister's intelligence and wisdom, Meng Yu is the most famous force strongman in Nanzhao, he has the ability to tear tigers and leopards when he is a teenager, and he is invincible to defeat Nanzhao after becoming an adult.

But the current situation of the Duo Cheek Department and the Mulu Department Monado is very troublesome, they used to be attached to the Montessori banner, but now because of the accidental death of the patriarch, and the skin is pulled to the Montessori here, in fact, what does the temporary leader of the two departments have in mind Monado is very clear, I want her to correct her name, and then get some benefits after the thing, but as the suzerain, how can there be a reason to submit to the vassal forces, they are so noisy, Monado is not fighting, not fighting, helpless, just today, A very bad news reached her ears, there were many Han boats on the Nanzhao River, and they were super ships that they had never seen in the Seven Kings of Jiaozhi before, and only one or two of them could occupy the entire river, this was the news that the Tang Army had come, and they destroyed the Seven Kings of Jiaozhi with thunder. He also defeated the Tubo people, if the natural barrier of Nanzhao could not stop the Tang army. Then this fertile land ruled by the Montessori generation is likely to change hands to the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother. What are you doing out here? Meng Yu, who rose from the rattan chair, lifted his pair of broad, more like axe-like broadswords with both hands and walked out of the hall, but was called by Monado's delicate voice behind him, he loved this sister since he was a child, and never disobeyed her will, the reason why Montessori still inherited the throne as a woman is because they have not yet escaped from the shadow of the matriarchal society, which deep-rooted thinking makes their thinking logic very different from that of the Han people, Monado asked softly, In Meng Yu's ears, it was like a supreme command.

"Sister. I can't stand the petty crumbs of Duo Cheek and Mulu Division, they are still fighting with us at the moment of the great enemy. My brother didn't go out and kill them, and they thought I was easy to mess with. Meng Yuhong's loud voice sounded in the hall, if it weren't for the people who were used to Meng Yu's voice, it would be difficult to have a normal conversation with him, and people would inadvertently cover their ears when he spoke.

"Brother is patient for the time being, if he fights them at this moment, it will push them to the opposite side of us. In fact, I don't need to say that my brother should know that this trick was played by the Tang people, and now that these two rebellions, our strength has been reduced by two, and if it becomes hostile again. I'm afraid we're about to lose another 20% of our combat power, so we have to be patient now. ”

Monado has never paid attention to the Duo Cheeks and the Mulu Division, after these two were severely injured by the Han army hundreds of years ago. They never recovered, and now their tribe is less than 30,000 men. is already ranked at the end of the six barbarians, the three clans of Nanzhao. The weakest Duan clan also has more than 100,000 tribes, tens of thousands of young and strong, not to mention 50,000 with armor, the number of young and strong people reaches more than 100,000 Montessori, just one Montessori, at least stronger than the strength of the three kings of Jiaozhi, because of some political trade contacts in Shu, they have been in contact with the Central Plains culture for hundreds of years, and they are not weaker than the Miao people in terms of cultural development.

"Hmph, the army of the Han people has not been able to reach our place since ancient times, let alone fighting, even if they walk in, they have to be killed and wounded first, and when the time comes, we and the Han people will lose two percent each, which can be regarded as a fair decisive battle, you can rest assured, clean up the cheeks and the Mulu department, my brother does not need to consume one percent of the strength of the clan, and wipe them out from the six barbarians in one fell swoop." Meng Yu is a pure martial artist, and he is still talking about fair duels in war.

"If the Tang people didn't march into my Nanzhao, my sister would naturally find a reason to destroy them, but now the situation is different, the Tang army destroyed the seven kings of Jiaozhi within a year, and the strength is extraordinary, since they dare to set foot in our place, it proves that they have already prepared, I can clearly feel that the Tang army is very difficult to deal with, they are not like the Shu Han hundreds of years ago, as long as a nominal subordinate relationship is completed, they are going to occupy this place as thoroughly as in Jiaozhi, The outposts on the riverside said that they had hundreds of large and small ships entering our territory, with no less than 30,000 people, and I think they have at least one army on land that is no less than the number of people on the water, or even several, have you forgotten the news sent by Shu and Duan a few months ago, on the Miao side, it seems that there are also a large number of Tang troops approaching us, and now the territory of the Miao people is probably under the control of the Tang army, so we can't mess with it now. ”

Monado can always speak in words Meng Yu is speechless, among the three clans of Nanzhao, only the Montessori is a woman as the tribal leader, and the female leader of the Monnard clan is married to the other two clans of the nobles according to the convention, after several generations, the three clans are actually relatives, which is why the three clans can stand together in Nanzhao for so many years, Monado's intellectual name began to spread in Nanzhao since she was a child, and after she inherited the position of tribal leader, the strength of the Monastrian clan grew stronger and stronger, as if it had developed into the head of the three clans, According to the development of history, the six barbarians should be gone in a few decades, the queen of Nanzhao unified the Nanzhao tribes during the Tang Gaozong period to establish the Nanzhao Kingdom, and finally for some reason, in the early Song Dynasty, the Duan clan replaced the Mengshi as the Dali State, of course, the competition between the three clans is now on the table, the rebellion of the two tribes can not be the same thing, how to unite the other two clans, and jointly resist the enemy is what Monado is considering.

"Does my sister have some plans?" Although Meng Yu was born with five big and three thick, the genes in the brain melon seeds are the same as Monado, he is not stupid, this smart sister can always think of some ways at a critical time, and when she explains to him in this tone, she usually has a way.

"There's no good strategy, I have to rely on my brother in the battle formation, and I just have some plans in the big strategy." Monado pulled back Meng Yu, who was standing at the door and was talking, and asked him to sit down, and he returned to the desk where he was writing, picked up the brush, and began to write on a roll of bamboo slips.

"My sister knows that I don't know how to read, so you can tell me if you have any strategy!" Meng Yu slapped his thigh with a big knife as wide as a plate axe, he was not stupid, but he was an anxious man.

"The small boats of our tribe are not enough to fight against the big ships of the Tang army on the river, so we can't fight with them on the water, and our walled city is different from Jiaozhi, although it is also built by the water, but it is not built on the riverside, their big boats will not come ashore if they can't pass, and we can defend against these Tang army sailors who are not good at land warfare.

And to deal with the army they may come from the mountains, we have to take the initiative to attack the strategy, our people have lived in the mountains for generations, have long been accustomed to the mountains of a qiē, but the Tang army is different, even if they stay in the mountains and do nothing, it will be very uncomfortable, in the vast mountains, wanton attack is much more comfortable than always worried about the defense, so to deal with the Tang army in the mountains, we must take the initiative to attack, the only deficiency now is that we do not know the number of Tang troops on land, But even the most conservative estimates, their number will not be less than 50,000, because the merchants in Shu know more or less the strength of our Nanzhao tribes, and it is impossible to compete with us on our territory with tens of thousands of people, and for an army of more than 50,000, our strength is strictly insufficient, we have to divide tens of thousands of people to defend the walled city, and then we can mobilize only one or two thousand people, so we must unite all the tribes of Nanzhao, so we can have a chance of winning, and the seven kings of Jiaozhi, who are fighting for each other, are examples of failure. ”

In the interval between speaking, Monado's pen had already written down a lot of words, and the words stopped, she nodded with satisfaction and put the brush on the pen stand, and blew on the ink that had not dried on the bamboo slips.

"How?"

Each ministry has a territory that each ministry must defend and take care of, whether it is the three clans or the six barbarians, although there is a theory of dependence and dependence, but the internal has always been independent, and the mobilization of the young Zhuang soldiers of other tribes has never happened in Nanzhao.

"This notice is the way, the content on it is that the leader of my Mengshi tribe, Monado, will openly recruit relatives from many tribes in Nanzhao at the beginning of next month, and take the civil and military examinations, and the nobles of all tribes can come to participate, and the recruitment is fake, and it is true to gather them all together to discuss how to jointly deal with the Tang army." Monado took the notice that had dried the ink and stuffed it into Meng Yu's arms, with an obvious meaning, asking him to proclaim it to the outside world.

On the elephant's saddle, White Rose has recently learned a lot of songs from Yang Lin, and the mountains have been turned over one after another, and I don't know when they will come to the end, and the two who are tired of singing are chatting at this time.

"I said roses! When you get to Nanzhao, you have to say hello to the female soldiers under you, it's a place where women have the final say, and several older girls have reached the age of twenty-two this year, so don't hate to marry and confess yourself there. Yang Lin half-jokingly said, the love of hating to marry spreads very quickly in the art troupe, and it is very terrifying, in this era, a sixteen-year-old girl is already the legal age of marriage, and it is definitely difficult to marry an older leftover girl who is twenty-two, and every female soldier will be worried about this problem, but Yang Lin has no intention of changing the rules.

"If you want me to say, they should marry in Nanzhao, and it's fun for women to be the masters of the house!" White Rose smiled at Yang Lin's words.

Not far away, a swarthy young man dragged a rag piece of clothing scraped by trees to the direction of the elephant, and reported: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the former army detective has figured out the next journey, the army is marching at the current speed, and there are about ten days to reach the border village of Mengshi, Honghe Village."
