Chapter 769: One hundred thousand people in the Southern Barbarians
"Foreign aid? Now that he is trapped in Shu, how can he come to foreign aid? ”
"Foreign aid? Could it be Zhang Lu? ”
"Jun Shang and Zhang Lu are feuds, it is impossible to unite, right?"
"Why can't it be? The lips are cold and the teeth are dead. ”
Yan Yan's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, making the generals in the hall all talk about it. In terms of atmosphere, it is much more lively than just now.
Whether it is those who believe that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are united, or those who do not believe that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are united. It's all morale boosted. Although there is a feud with Zhang Lu, in today's situation, it is always good to have foreign aid.
Yan Yan saw it in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel slightly excited. As long as it's not like a pool of stagnant water. But while exhilarating, Yan Yan also had some wry smiles.
The generals believed that Liu Zhang would unite with Zhang Lu, but no one suggested that Liu Zhang would unite with Meng Lu. It can be seen that Meng Shu is really disgusting too much.
In fact, it is also expected.
After all, no matter how much Zhang Lu is hated, he is also from his own clan, but Meng Shu is a foreigner.
Because of this, Yan Yan took what he was going to say. Just let these generals think that the foreign aid is Zhang Lu, there is a saying called Wangmei to quench thirst.
Although it was invented by Cao Cao, it has also been introduced to Shu.
Just give the generals hope.
"Hehe, it's Zhang Lu. The king had overcome his reluctance and sent envoys into Hanzhong. Well, in the near future, I will definitely be able to receive the news of Zhang Lu's southward departure. Yan Yan smiled slightly and said.
With such a smile, the wrinkles on the old general's face were stretched. All of a sudden, I was much younger and more energetic.
It's like the feeling of ordinary people bathing in the spring breeze.
This expression infected the generals in the hall, and their morale was really boosted.
However, there are a few people who are not very convinced.
They are Liu Po, Deng Xian, and Ling Bao, and their status is very high, and they can be on an equal footing with Yan Yan. Although he failed to get in touch with the core of Shu like Yan Yan.
But they have been in the south for a long time, and they know that foreign aid refers not only to Zhang Lu, but also to Nanban Meng Shu.
Therefore, all three of them are very silent.
They led troops in the south all the year round, fought with Meng Huo several times, and knew that every time Meng Huo invaded, the people in the border areas would be miserable. For Liu Zhang's trick to lure the wolf into the room, he was a little unhappy.
And it just so happened that the prestige of Ling Bao, Deng Xian, and Liu Zuo in the south was only that of him and Zhang Ren, and it was of great significance to the army.
Yan Yan saw it in his eyes and knew that if he couldn't subdue these three fierce generals, this city would still be difficult to defend.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, it was really full of internal weaknesses and huge external pressure. A lot of trouble.
"Give the order, and the soldiers will cheer up. Liu Zhi (I don't know this word, one on the left writes Wang, and one on the right is expensive in traditional Chinese), Ling Bao, and Deng Xian stayed. Yan Yan made the generals happy for a while, and then ordered.
"No."
The generals said yes and left immediately.
After a while, in the hall, only Yan Yan, Liu Cao, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian were left.
"Old general, the foreign aid you just mentioned, but Meng Huo, Yonghong and other rats?" When there were only four people left in the hall, Liu Po finally couldn't help it and asked.
The Yonghong mentioned by Liu Zuo is a Han and the patriarch of Nanzhong. He colluded with Meng Huo and others and often rebelled. Hold your own troops.
The so-called Meng Huo can't become a force, but with the addition of Yonghong, it is enough to have an army of 100,000. It is a headache for Shu State.
"It's them." Yan Yan also nodded happily in acknowledgement.
"Old General." Although they had already guessed it, when Yan Yan admitted it himself, Liu Zhen and the other three couldn't help but be extremely disappointed and said.
"Hey. Have you forgotten Zhang Ren's ambition? He wants to rule Shu with Shu people, and he doesn't want Shu to be occupied by the Chu State. Now that the power of our Shu Kingdom is weak, we can only come up with these crooked tricks. Yan Yan sighed and said.
"If our Shu Kingdom is over like this, the old man will have no choice. But if Shu can survive, the old man swears that he will definitely pacify the southern barbarians in this life. I also asked the three generals to endure the shame of uniting with Meng Shu for the time being, and protect Shu with the old man. Immediately, Yan Yan promised to the three of them.
A heart to serve the country, heaven and earth can be learned.
Yan Yan's sincerity reminded the three of them of Zhang Ren, who had been captured in Fuling, and their faces couldn't help but soften.
Although he didn't speak, he obviously didn't have any opinions.
Yan Yan glanced at the three of them, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Now Ba Jun's military heart has finally let him pull it up, and he should be able to hold Kou Feng for a long time. Now it only depends on whether Mr. Zheng Du has achieved results in the south.
If Meng Shu can send 50,000 troops, or even only 30,000 troops, then they will be able to resolve this crisis.
The Southern Barbarian soldiers are all very fierce, and in addition, Meng Shu colluded with the Han Yonglu, and used very sophisticated weapons and armor, which was a very strong force.
Yizhou is a very quirky place.
He can be called Shu, because in ancient times there was the country of Ba, where the state of Shu was established, and later destroyed by the state of Qin. Just as Jiangdong is called the land of Wuyue, Yizhou can be called Bashu.
But Yizhou itself has Shuna, which is the county where Chengdu is located, called Shu County.
In addition, in the southernmost part of Yizhou, there is also a place called Yizhou County.
Yizhou is like Jiangdong, and the roots of Jiangdong's rule are in a small area around Wu County. Although it is known as the eighty-one states, the rest of the country has a weak foundation of rule.
The ruling center of Yizhou is centered on Chengdu and spreads outward to the Chengdu Plain.
To the south of the Yangtze River, there are also counties such as Yizhou County, Xiangke County, Nanzhong County and so on. They did not submit to the rule of Liu Zhang, the assassin of Yizhou.
The local surnames often unite with the barbarians next to them to become semi-independent forces.
And Liu Zhang's own combat ability is relatively weak, and even Zhang Lu can't do it, so naturally he has no time to pay attention to these semi-independent forces.
It was only when these semi-independent forces united with Meng Huo and other southern barbarians to attack the hinterland of Yizhou that Liu Zhang would send a general to Zhenlu to suppress it.
This has been the case for decades.
Among them, among the big surnames in these counties, the Yong surname of Yizhou County is the most powerful and the most noble. Because the ancestor of the surname Yong is the founder of Han Gaozu, Yongya.
Yongya is a figure who worships the marquis, and is listed as fifty-seven among the founding heroes of Han Gaozu. Until now, it is naturally a very prominent family.
And because he has always lived in Nantu, he is very prestigious in the local area.
Meng had about 600,000 troops and 70,000 barbarian soldiers. It's a lot of power, right? In comparison, the number of soldiers and horses united by the surnames of southern counties such as the surname Yong is only thirty or forty thousand.
However, the relationship between Meng Shu and Yonghong, the current head of the family surnamed Yong, is only a cooperative relationship. formed a crowd of 100,000 people to call for wind and rain in the south.
In other words, the two sides are on an equal footing.
It shows that it is strong.
Yizhou County was the land of the Dian Kingdom in ancient times.
The name of his place of governance is Dianchi. There are many southern barbarians in the city, and there are many Han people, and they look like two ethnic groups living together.
Today, outside the city of Dianchi Lake, an uninvited guest was ushered in.
This person is middle-aged, with a plump face and bright eyes, which can be said to have an extraordinary temperament. He sat in a carriage with dozens of guards by his side.
It also looks like it has a lot of status.
This person is Zheng Du, who was ordered to go south.
At the beginning, Zheng Du offered a plan to Liu Zhang in Chengdu, saying that he would unite with the Southern Barbarian Meng Shu to attack Kou Feng together and solve the disaster of Shu.
Although Meng Huo is united with the locals, the tribe lives in the dense forests of the south. Contact is difficult. Zheng Du naturally came to Yizhou County and contacted Yong Boudoir first.
"My lord, Dianchi has arrived. What's next? "The leader of the accompanying guards asked Zheng Dudao, very respectful.
"Hey, what else? Let's go straight to the door. Zheng Du said with a sigh.
Although this strategy was developed by Zheng Du, Zheng Du also felt discouraged about uniting the Nanban. If Shu can be strong, why should they be like this?
"No." The leader of the guard immediately agreed, and led the convoy to the city.
The mixing of Han people and barbarians is very common in today's Han world. In Xiliang, the Han people live together with the Qiang people, and in Youzhou, the Han people live together with the Wuhuan people.
In Jiangdong, the Han people lived together with the Shanyue people.
In Yizhou County, the Han people lived together with the Southern Barbarians.
The adaptability of the Han people can be said to be very powerful.
In the city, although the clothing of the Han Chinese and the Nanban people were different, there were also differences in language. But it looks very harmonious. Especially, as this kind of intermingling slowly prolongs.
There will be a change in the language of both sides. Slowly there is a tendency to merge. This makes Yonghong and other big surnames in this soil where semi-independent forces are to be established.
The so-called local forces refer to this.
Zheng Du also came to Dianchi for the first time, feeling this strange harmony between the two races, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Soon after, the group came to the vicinity of the city.
In this city, the largest mansion must not be the Taishou Mansion, but the mansion of the Yong family.
It's easy to find.
After asking passers-by in the center of the city, the group arrived at the outside of Yong's mansion.
The mansion is very magnificent, because it is located in a remote area, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. The surname Yong is also bold, and the establishment of this mansion has exceeded the scale of ordinary liehous.
"Sure enough, they are all unruly." After Zheng Du observed for a moment, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
You can only cooperate with such people for a while, but not for a long time. It will be devoured for a long time.
"Who are you?" The guards guarding the door, seeing that Zheng Du and the others had stopped for a while, couldn't help but say sharply.
"The old man is Zheng Du, an official under the account of the Marquis of Shu. Well, ask to see Mr. Yong. Please also pass it on. Zheng Du tidied up his shirt and hugged his fists.
"Zheng Du?" The guards were a little puzzled when they heard this, but they hadn't heard of it.
But Liu Zhang, the Marquis of Shu, had heard of it, and saw Zheng Du very polite. I couldn't help but nod and said, "Wait a minute." With that, he turned around and went in to report.
"If you can say that 100,000 people go north, Kou Feng will not be a problem."
Outside the gate, Zheng Du's gaze was very firm. (To be continued.)
