Chapter 172: Roaring
I saw Jia Lian return the salute and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it's just a slight setback, why should the prince be so decadent, and then a happy decisive battle." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Wang Wei also smiled and said: "What the Hou Ye said is very true, thinking about the style of the Emperor and the prince back then, where do I not let the prince gallop in the north and south of the great river of my Heavenly Dynasty, and now some southern barbarians have a small setback, what is the way!" ”
But I saw the king of Nan'an County smile bitterly: "The good man didn't mention the courage of the year, but now this king is really old, how can he be compared with the prosperous Marquis Jia?" There is another thing, it is easy to defeat the Nanban soldiers, but it is extremely difficult to conquer the land of the Nanban. ”
Yang Wei couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard this, but Jia Lian asked: "Oh~ How can the prince be so ambitious and destroy his prestige?" ”
At this time, I saw the king of Nan'an County looking at the land of the Southern Barbarians from afar, and said: "Lord Jia doesn't know, this land of the Southern Barbarians is full of lofty mountains and mountains, if the barbarians are defeated, as long as they drill into the depths of the mountains, the mountains are high and dense, and the army has no way to chase and kill!" ”
Wang Wei also continued: "What the prince said is extremely true, there are many miasma in the deep mountains of this southern barbarian land, and there are more poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions that hurt people, not that the local natives are simply unguardable, and it is difficult for the army to enter, so these barbarians have been allowed to get away with it for many years." ”
Jia Lian nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for such a natural danger, the prince of the county would have destroyed this southern barbarian long ago, and I will run this Huichuan Mansion first. ”
The king of Nan'an County immediately said gratefully: "Thank you Hou Ye for your generosity, recalling that Xiao Wang and the dog have offended a lot, Hou Ye can treat him with virtue, and since then Xiao Wang has accepted his feelings." ”
Jia Lian smiled again: "Don't dare." ”
In this way, Jia Lian and the king of Nan'an County seemed to release their previous suspicions, and they confronted the Nanban soldiers together in this Huichuan Mansion.
After that, the army of the Celestial Empire and the Southern Barbarian soldiers fought a few more battles outside the city of Huichuan Mansion, and Jia Lian watched from the city wall, and it was really as the king of Nan'an said.
Although these Southern Barbarian soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they are very poor in weapons and equipment, and they don't know how to cooperate with each other in battle formations, even if the two armies face each other, these Southern Barbarian soldiers can't take advantage, not to mention that now the Southern Barbarians are attacking the city, so the Southern Barbarians have suffered countless casualties for a while.
After many failed sieges and increased casualties, the Southern Barbarians finally learned to be obedient and no longer stormed Huichuan Mansion, but took advantage of the geographical advantage to divide into several teams and multiple roads at the same time, burning, killing and plundering the villages on the border of the Celestial Empire.
As a result, the king of Nan'an County and Jia Lian and others were suddenly tired of coping, and after many rescues were too late, they had to force the villagers of the border villages to retreat into the nearby big city.
Such a result was definitely not what the emperor wanted, not to mention that the daily expenses of the army were all silver in vain.
After such a month, the king of Nan'an and Jia Lian were still unable to march south, and the old general Wang Wei and the leading generals of Huichuan Mansion were enough to deal with the current situation, so the emperor recalled Jia Lian and the king of Nan'an to Kyoto with an edict, and sent Zhang Tingyu to envoy Nanban.
After the king of Nan'an County returned to Beijing, he immediately wrote a letter to ask for guilt, and sure enough, countless important ministers in the court tried their best to intercede, and the emperor had to ask a pioneer general about the guilt of the king, and passed this section for the king of Nan'an County.
And the king of Nan'an County later felt that Jia Lian did not fall into the well and hurt himself, as if he really forgot to have a festival with Jia Lian before, and every time he met with the court, he was full of enthusiasm.
Not only that, but even more, Princess Nan'an will also come to the house every once in a while to talk to Jia's mother.
In less than a month, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Nan'an Royal Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion are the best of the Tongjia.
At this time, Princess Nan'an took the opportunity to propose to recognize Tanchun as a righteous daughter, and Jia's mother only regarded Tanchun as the creation of Tanchun, and agreed on the spot.
When Jia Lian learned about it, Tanchunzi had a great ceremony to recognize her mother to Princess Nan'an, and even if Jia Lian was worried, it would be useless.
A few days later, Zhang Tingyu, who had been an envoy to Nanban for two or three months, finally returned to Kyoto, and also brought back the conditions for Nanban to make peace.
Nanban not only opened his mouth and demanded a lot of compensation, but also proposed that the king of Nan'an County, the general of the defeated army, marry the county lord to the prince of Nanban.
As soon as this proposal came out, the whole dynasty was boiling, if it was just to pay some silver utensils, it would be good to stabilize the Nanban temporarily, but if you marry the princess, you will lose the face of the Celestial Empire.
The emperor was furious, smashed a royal inkstone on the spot, and said angrily: "How can this really be true, the little Nanban projectile land, but I don't bother to entangle with it, so I want to be safe, so aggressive, I am really afraid that they can't do it!" ”
said that the emperor was going to order soldiers and horses again, and vowed to sweep the entire territory of the Southern Barbarians in person.
However, Zhang Huanzhi and other old ministers persuaded each other bitterly, and said: "Although the little Nanban is just a frog at the bottom of the well, but now that our dynasty has just been defeated, the morale of the army all the way to Huichuan Mansion is low, and the defense of the city is still available, but if you want to attack the Nanban Fudi, you are not sharp enough, but the other barbarians are eyeing in the dark, so the soldiers who are good at fighting in other battalions do not dare to move in vain, so they can only stabilize the Nanban first, and then calm it in one fell swoop after cultivating for a year or two. ”
Although the emperor was still angry when he heard it, but when he calmed down and thought about it, it was the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, and as an emperor, he naturally couldn't act rashly, so he finally had to sigh: "Today's humiliation, I will definitely repay it a hundred times in the future!" ”
The ministers immediately knelt down and bowed: "The emperor's humiliation, the shame of the officials, he will sweep away the Nanban one day, and the ministers are willing to lead the horse and hold the stool for the emperor!" Now that the state is unstable and the army is newly defeated, please let the emperor bear with it for a while~"
Since the decision has been made, I only heard the emperor say again: "King of Nan'an, I will wronged you in this way~"
The king of Nan'an County knelt down and said: "Today's humiliation is the result of Xiao Wang's own defeat, and the little girl is exchanged for the stability of hundreds of people on the border, and Xiao Wang should give up his small family for everyone!" ”
Baiguan praised: "The king of Nan'an County is indeed worthy of being the backbone of the Celestial Empire, and we are a model!" The people on the border will also feel the kindness of the prince of the county~"
The emperor also praised: "The king of Nan'an County is so endured and humiliated, he will go south again one day, and he will welcome back the county lord and treat him with national courtesy!" ”
I saw that the king of Nan'an County first bowed his hand to the hundred officials, and then bowed to the emperor and said: "Thank you to the emperor Longen, the minister now only has two daughters, one woman is only five years old and it is difficult to talk about marriage, and another is a righteous daughter of fifteen years old, her appearance and talent are all top, and she will not be able to weaken my Heavenly Dynasty elegance when marrying Nanban, so I dare to implore the emperor to confer the title of county lord on her, and the loyalty and filial piety of all little daughters~"
The emperor was about to nod his head in agreement, but he didn't want to suddenly hear Jia Lian in the middle of the court shouting: "Nan'an old thief!" You wolf-hearted brute, Ben Hou finally saved your dog's life, I don't want you to be so mad and try your best to humiliate my Rongguo Mansion, everyone in the world is stupid! ”
