Chapter 890: The Barbarian King Orders Troops
"The mountains are treacherous, and it's always a good thing to be well prepared, so the minister has no opinion."
Fa Zheng said with a deep groan.
The rest of Zhuge Liang and others also hinted that they had no objections. Kou Feng immediately ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, recruit the hunters here, and teach the soldiers how to defend the miasma.
Avoid some poisonous stuff.
Early in the morning after January.
In the south of Diancheng, the 100,000 troops of the Chu State slowly marched towards the south, of which the 20,000 pioneers led by the later general Zhang Fei had been untied for a long time.
The roads in Nanzhong are actually not good, especially the mountainous forests, which are even more difficult to walk. Pioneer Puqiao to build a road, that is a must.
After a few days, the army reached Yu Yuancheng smoothly, and as Kou Feng thought, Meng Shu had abandoned the defenses in this area and retreated all the troops into the city of Dalangdian, which was deeper in the mountains.
Yu Yuancheng, like most of the cities in Nanzhong, was set up by Emperor Liu Che of Xiaowu in the past after he pacified the Yelang Kingdom, but the city was the city of the former Yelang Kingdom.
It is very quaint, and the shape is also different from the city of the Central Plains, because it is round. The height is also very high, five or six feet, and it looks very thick.
Because Meng Shu withdrew the defenders here, Yu Yuancheng already had no Taishou, as well as officials, and even barbarians.
Therefore, Kou Feng entered the city smoothly and occupied it.
This will be used as a forward base, and Kou Feng's army will be stationed here for more than ten days, looking forward to the grain from the rear gradually entering this city.
When the grain base reaches a certain level, the army will march again.
Kou Feng led Fa Zheng and the others to walk on the city wall, stopping from time to time to look at the continuous rainforest further south.
The continuous rainforest acts as a natural barrier to the Han Chinese. If Nanzhong is a mixed residence of Han and Yi, then behind this rainforest is the land of the Southern Barbarians and the rest of the Yi people.
The Han Dynasty ruled that side only nominally. And now Kou Feng has to be completely occupied.
"I heard that this was the capital of the former Yelang Kingdom, and it took a long time for Emperor Xiaowu's army to be pacified." Kou Feng stopped in front of the South City Gatehouse, leaned his hand against the female wall, and sighed slightly.
Liu Che, the emperor of filial piety, can be regarded as a son of Han who Kou Feng admires very much. Although some people say that he is very happy, they cannot deny his great achievements.
To the north, he fought with the Huns and won a great victory. To the south pacified the Nam Yue Kingdom, to the west to pacify the Yelang Kingdom, and to the east to pacify the Wei Joseon Kingdom. If Kou Feng is to destroy countless people, then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is to destroy countless countries.
The only thing that is regrettable is that it is not enough to extinguish. Destroying its country, but not reinforcing its culture, made the Han people enter the chaos, and those foreign races rose up one after another.
Sanhan, Shanyue, Wuxi barbarians, Nanban barbarians, Yi people, Qiang people, Xiongnu, Xianbei people, etc., Kou Feng swept one after another, but it was still not wiped out.
However, now the south has only one in the south. As long as it is pacified, the territory of Chu in the south will be as stable as Mount Tai.
"Emperor Xiaowu's martial arts are outstanding, and future generations really respect him." Fa Zheng also sighed.
"Huh." Kou Feng smiled.
"Hehe, in the future, the king may not be inferior to Han Wu." Zhang Fei said with a smile on the side. In the past, Zhang Fei was a supporter of the Han family, because Liu Bei's politics were from the Han family. But now with Kou Feng, his position has naturally changed.
He also sincerely hoped that Kou Feng could pacify the world, end the division of princes, and make the country rich and the people strong.
"Han Wu."
Kou Feng was a little eager when he heard this, so far, although he has destroyed countless clans, but there are not many lost countries that have been destroyed. Not to mention the expansion of territory and territory.
Samhan is one, but the area is narrow and too small.
"Hehe, it seems too early to think about these things now, wait for one day to separate the victory and defeat with Cao Wei, and then think about these. There seem to be many countries that can be conquered around the world. ”
Kou Feng smiled in his heart, feeling that his gaze was too far.
"Your Majesty, answer the information of Langdian City."
Just then, a soldier walked up with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. Kou Shui took a step forward, took the bamboo slip, and turned around and handed it to Kou Feng.
Kou Feng nodded his head, stretched out a cursory glance, and said with a smile: "As expected, Meng Huo has begun to integrate the forces in the clan, according to the information above, Meng Huo already has 800,000 people at this moment, including as many as 120,000 soldiers who can fight. And recruit countless skilled craftsmen to step up the casting of Wei Dao. In addition, it also began to unite Yang Feng, Mulu, and vulture bones further south. There seems to be progress. ”
"Although it's a rabble, it's not unguarded." Fa Zheng said with a little worry.
"What Xiaozhi said is very true, I heard that some of the Yi people over there can drive tigers and leopards, poisonous snakes, elephants, etc., and some are good at using rattan armor, and the sword is difficult to hurt." Zhang Song, who knows something about Nanzhong, said.
"Peace of mind, Lone will not underestimate the enemy." Kou Feng smiled and said.
Trend tigers and leopards, venomous snakes, elephants. Rattan armor soldiers?
Kou Feng raised his head slightly, raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he had returned to the original historical trajectory, Zhuge Liang led the army to pacify these various alien races.
What are the characteristics of the vine armor soldiers, Kou Feng is very clear. As for the elephant soldiers, Kou Feng smiled, a little nostalgic for those elephants, but unfortunately their mobility was too poor.
Kou Feng went south this time and didn't bring it with him at all.
If one day, and out of the Central Plains, it will be even more useless. As for how to deal with the elephant soldiers, Kou Feng doesn't have much of a body for the time being.
However, the two armies fought for courage, and a few elephants were just a little more deterrent and more destructive, as long as the sorcerers were not frightened, they could be right.
……………….
The city of Langdian is located in the forest mountains further south. However, it is surrounded by a large plain that can be cultivated.
The geographical location of the city is quite good, so since Meng Shu returned to the south, he began to use this city as a lair.
On the one hand, the food hoarding of various premises is mobilized. On the other hand, he actively contacted the scattered tribesmen around him, no matter how big or small, and sent envoys over one by one to persuade them to arrive at the Chu army together.
During this period of time, Meng Hou's achievements were 800,000 troops known to Kou Feng and 120,000 soldiers who could fight. Among them, there were about 33,000 Wei weapons.
When Zheng Du went south, the manufacturing process of Wei Dao was handed down. Of course, Meng Shu also knows the process, and the number of Wei Dao can be said to be changing every day.
Meng Huo's wish was that Kou Feng could delay in the north for a year and a half, so that he could create 120,000 Chu knives to equip the army, so that he would have the real capital to rival the Chu army.
However, Meng also knew that this was unlikely.
Meng Huo had already proclaimed himself the barbarian king, and the mansion in the city was known as the barbarian king's mansion. Today, Meng Huo was in a good mood and planned to set up a banquet in the mansion.
Because the three Yi leaders in Nanzhong, Yang Feng, Mulu, and Wutu Gu, have already promised an alliance. And according to the report from the spies, the three leaders have separated from the 30,000 elite soldiers in the clan and slowly approached.
You can do it today.
In this way, the number of troops under his command that could fight reached 210,000. More than when he first united with Yonghong.
Meng Huo's mood is naturally very good.
"My lord, according to what the spies heard, the three leaders have already met at the place about twenty miles to the south, and the army will reach the city of Dalangdian within an hour."
In the main hall of the Barbarian King's Mansion, Meng Shu sat and waited for news. There are very timely introductory reports from the guards.
"Hahaha, okay." Meng was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed.
Then he ordered: "Order, order the cooks to prepare the most delicious food of our southerners, prepare the most delicious wine, greet the most beautiful women, and I will entertain the three leaders well." ”
"No." The guards were ordered to leave.
After the guards left, Meng Yu continued to sit in the main hall for a long time before he sent someone to find Meng You and other important generals, and came to the south gate together to greet the three leaders.
"Big brother, this time we don't rely on the Han people, we rely on ourselves." Meng You, who was next to Meng Shu, said excitedly.
"Hmm."
Meng Shu nodded his head, and a slight smile appeared on his face. The last time the alliance with Yonghong broke down, Meng Shu no longer believed in the Han Chinese. Now I am very relieved to see that the power of the barbarians in the southern Han population is so strong.
As the two spoke, a large number of dark shadows appeared in front of them.
After a while, countless armies appeared in the sight of Meng Shu and the others, saying that the army was actually a bit miserable, there was no unified leather armor, and even the blades were of various colors.
Some even hold bamboo guns.
To be honest, Meng Shu was a little disappointed, and sighed in his heart, although they vowed to compete with the Han people, but it was not denied that the Han people were far superior to them in terms of manufacturing technology and wisdom.
Not to mention the army.
However, what soothed Meng was the other two distinctive armies, one of which had tall elephants and tigers and leopards chained to huge iron chains.
Although this army is not well equipped, it is obviously full of characteristics and can be regarded as a strong army.
The other army is well-equipped, all of them are neatly dressed in rattan armor, and they have good discipline, and they are very imposing.
Meng Xu knew that one of the two armies was Mulu's, and the other was abrupt.
These two are the essence of this combined.
"Tigers, leopards, and beasts can shock the enemy, and rattan armor can kill the enemy. It's good to be serious. Meng Shu smiled, looking at this army, and a huge self-confidence rose in his heart.
At this moment, the army in front came to a halt, and three men on horseback rushed out with hundreds of escorts.
Meng Shu greeted him with a smile.
"I've seen three leaders." Meng Shu saluted the three of them with a smile on his face.
"I've seen the Barbarian King." In front of Meng Shu, these three people didn't dare to hold it up, so they dismounted one after another and greeted Dao.
