Cao Shi asked, "Two Dian kings? ”

The strong man of the Jumachi tribe stumbled in Chu and said: "The king of Yelang calls himself the king of Dian, and only Yelang will occasionally use the title of king of Dian, and the other king of Dian is recognized as the king of Dian, this king of Dian is a descendant of Zhuang Ji, the general of Chu, and the current king of Dian is named Qiang." ”

"Oh, and this twist and turn story, the descendants of the Chu people have also blossomed and borne fruit by the Dianchi Lake."

Chen Wuxian shook his head: "They have become barbarians, and I am afraid that they will not be able to speak a few words in Chu after a long period of isolation." ”

The officers of the Southern Army deeply thought that since the traditional view of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River belonged to the Chu land, and the legend of Wu Yue had long been washed away by the powerful Chu State, and even the Song State of Zhengshuo, the ancestor merchant of the Chu people, still did not escape the annexation of the Chu people.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the only two things that can make the people of Chu feel feared, one is the Jin State of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other is the Qin State of the Warring States, those two barbaric and powerful enemies gave the people of Chu a great headache, and one of them destroyed the Chu State.

The Han people not only inherited the excellent genes of the Chu people, but also inherited the powerful cultural system of the Qin people, and collected the excellent genes of the two Warring States overlords of Qin and Chu.

Every soldier of the Southern Army is proud of being a Chu person, and the Chu language is second only to Yayan in the southern orthodox official language, so that up to the Holy Son of Heaven of the Han Empire, to the kings, princes, and hundreds of officials and ministers will speak Chu language, Cao Shi's Chu language is very standard, which is practiced in Chang'an City, the old princes never speak ancient Yayan, and a mouth must be Chu with a strong dialect atmosphere.

Standing opposite them, the self-proclaimed Chu culture of the Jumachi barbarian department. It was very difficult to even say a few words of Chu language, not to mention the descendants of the Chu people, who had been cut off for more than a hundred years, and soon became barbarian.

Duwei Xun Fang sneered: "Yelang Wang Jinzhu fanned the flames everywhere. I thought that Shuzhong was a soft persimmon and easy to bully, but he was really bold. ”

Du Wei Li squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I don't measure myself." ”

The Yelang people are suffocated, since the establishment of the Yelang Alliance, they have repeatedly expanded eastward and invaded the north, and they are either unable to take care of themselves by the life packed up by the Chu people, or they are frightened by the Qin people and dare not go out of the mountains and forests, and the confidence of the three and two blows is almost gone.

But a Han army was weak and incompetent, and the Yelang people who were full of Ah Q spirit began to be crooked. We can also defeat the Han people and become the hegemon of the south, maybe the next Chu State. The next Qin overlord.

It's man-made, how do you know you can't do it if you don't do it?

Adhering to the fine style of not being afraid of failure and sacrifice, Yelang people embarked on a road of no return to death.

Cao Shi's expression was calm and unmoved.

He was in the impression. Yelang country only has the idiom of "Yelang arrogant", similar to the metaphor of the frog at the bottom of the well, anyway, it is a small country in the ravine that claims to be a big country, and likes to ask Han and me which is the big arrogant maniac, in front of the messenger of the king of Yelang, mocking "Yelang arrogant" Although it is a bit excessive, but the evaluation is very pertinent, they are very arrogant.

Only arrogant people will have the idea of non-separation, and gather hundreds of thousands of barbarians to fight Shuzhong, so nonsense thoughts can only be made by arrogant maniacs. If you change to a person with a normal mental level, you have to inquire about the news and weigh your own level before you do it, and megalomaniacs usually don't care about this. 130,000 armor soldiers are a scary number, but if you ask how many barbarians use iron swords, the conclusion must be o.

The barbarians of the Southwest Yi are still in the late Bronze Age, and the Iron Age of the Han Dynasty has been going on for more than 60 years. Efforts are being made in the direction of mass production of medium carbon steel, and the huge difference in weapons represents the gap in the maturity of civilization.

Chen Wuxian finished talking about the general form. The barbarians of the Barbarian Department of Jumachi stumbled and said: "The Great Chief of the Red Vine said that he did not trust the Han people, and only sent 500 barbarian soldiers, and several other tribes had 200 or 300 barbarian soldiers, and our barbarian tribe sent out 3,000 soldiers, and the nine major tribes took out a total of 5,000 barbarian soldiers, and it did not reach the 10,000 barbarians agreed before, I am really embarrassed." ”

"It doesn't matter, we Han people have always fought alone, this time I am very happy to have allies to help, there are many people and the generals don't care much, not to mention that five thousand barbarians are not less."

The barbarians were very grateful, and bowed and thanked them repeatedly, as if the barbarians were very sorry for Cao Shi.

Chen Wushu glanced at each other with several colleagues: "General! We might as well take advantage of the situation to attack the capital of Yelang Kingdom, capture Jin Zhu and force him to admit his guilt and admit defeat, and solve this scourge once and for all. ”

"Once and for all, never in the future, these two words are used very well."

Cao Shi was noncommittal, whether he turned to the other side: "Sima Xiu, what do you think?" ”

Captain Sima Xiu was very calm: "The last general thinks that Jinzhu's talent is insufficient, and it is difficult to persuade the kings to jointly send troops to invade Shuzhong, especially the king of Qiong, who is familiar with Shuzhong and has always been friendly with the Han family, will never agree to Jinzhu's invasion plan, although our army has 5,000 elite soldiers hiding in the dead corner south of Yelang Kingdom, but it is not good to immediately attack the Yelang country where the army is gathered, and the consequences of falling into the encirclement of 100,000 barbarians are unimaginable. ”

Xun Fang continued: "What Sima Duwei said is very true, the southwest Yi has been scattered for thousands of years, according to the barbarian department, Jin Zhu and his people had the courage to fight tigers and leopards when they were young, and there are no peerless generals with millions of soldiers, let alone the British lord of the world, Yelang's domestic twenty-two cities are still independent, and those remote barbarians who are called Yelang have not seen each other for many years, Jinzhu is delusional to attack Shuzhong with Su Qin and Zhang Yi's strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, which is tantamount to a dream. ”

Cao Shi stroked his palm and said approvingly: "It's very good, aren't the generals optimistic about Yelang Wang's strategy of combining vertical and horizontal?" ”

"King Yelang is arrogant, ambitious and talented, and intends to emulate the vertical and horizontal skills of our ancestors, but I don't know that we still have the allusions of Dongshi and Handan toddlers, like a monkey and a crown, and I know that I am a clown who jumps off the beam." Sima Xiu smiled slightly.

When the soldiers heard this, they burst into laughter and gave him a thumbs up to praise him for his talent.

In addition to being happy, the generals discussed the best time to attack Yelang, and the veterans who had been soldiers for 20 years had their own tricks. The military council of the Han army allowed reasonable speech.

Chen Wushu said: "The last general thinks that the Yelang barbarians will inevitably break through with Qianshui and enter the Shuzhong Basin along any port of the river (Yangtze River). If you choose the right time, you can also catch one of them off guard. ”

Every few years, the imperial court will settle a number of new counties, and in the past two years, the county agenda has gone seven, seven, eight, eight, and at most, a new batch of border counties will be proposed in two or three years, and Qianwei County is one of them.

The Yangtze River is the natural dividing line between the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Shuzhong Basin, crossing the Yangtze River from north to south into the plateau mountainous area, and crossing the Yangtze River from south to north into the basin plain. The barbarians in the mountains are descendants of the Shennong clan and have some farming skills. The tribes that know how to farm will naturally be greedy when they see the Great Plains, and the Yelang people have been covetous for two hundred years.

Cao Shi applauded and applauded: "The generals said very well, and it can be seen that everyone is prepared." ”

"The general is false!"

Chen Wushu looked at each other and smiled at many captains, and the captains of the Southern Army showed their personal abilities all the time. They want to prove to the world that the Southern Army is not inferior to the Northern Army, and that the General Cavalry is the right choice for the Southern Army.

Where there are people, there is fighting, the tradition of the north-south military struggle comes from the Great Qin Empire, at that time, the Guanzhong, Bashu, Longxi Qin army Rui soldiers were divided into the north and south two armies, competing with each other to maintain the two armies' pursuit of war merits.

In the era of the Han Empire, Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang used his wisdom to change the two armies of the north and south from Guanzhong, Bashu, and Longxi in a narrow sense to the Qin people and the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, or the difference between the Guanzhong soldiers and the Kwantung soldiers.

Amplify the competition for the number one. The two armies of the north and south made great contributions to the destruction of the rebellious princes and kings with Liu Bang's southern expedition to the north, and it is now peaceful and prosperous. The Northern Army occupied an absolute advantage, and the officers and men of the Southern Army felt very unhappy, and this war was a long-awaited grand event for the Southern Army, and they hoped to use the war to maintain glory and reverse the long-term unfavorable situation of the Southern Army.

In front of the sand table, dozens of officers sat around and pondered.

Cao Shi took a horsewhip and pointed to the mountains of Yelang Country: "This is a natural plateau. It starts from 100,000 mountains in the west and borders the Shuzhong Basin in the north. East to the Great Snow Mountain near the Changsha country, stretching for thousands of miles in an oblique division, several main passages here have been controlled by the major barbarians for a long time, the Yelang people are arrogant and think that they occupy an absolute advantage, but ignore the important position of the nine tribes in the southern part of the plateau, the town and Yelang have been hostile for a long time, there have been many fierce wars, this time we get the support of the Barbarian Department of the country, there is a safe passage to the north to the hinterland of the country, the strategic purpose of our army is to use the fastest degree to break the psychological defense line of the Yelang people, so this battle must be fully prepared, I am fully prepared for this battle, and the generals will listen to the order and give you ten days to store your physical energy and recuperate, and then draw the camp and send troops out in ten days! ”

"Whoa!"

……

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the day after the 130,000 Yelang army was dispatched.

Yelang King's Capital, a huge village with a civil structure, still maintains the common village pattern of the local people, but the scale of the city has been greatly improved, this is enough to accommodate 50,000 people, second only to Chengdu, the pearl of the southwest region.

It is an important economic town in the southwest of Yi, the Yelang people have accumulated huge wealth through farming, hunting, war and plunder, and joining to collect taxes, as far as Magadha (India) merchants will carry goods to trade here, and Magadha's famous stone honey (brown sugar) is transferred from here to Shuzhong, and then north to Chang'an City, the hinterland of Guanzhong.

Yelang master (mid-level officer) Duo Min is in charge of today's vigil patrol, I heard that there is going to be a fight in Shu to rob money, food and women, every Yelang person is actively preparing for war, unfortunately he was not selected into the sixty-six master craftsmen who accompanied the army, only got a dispensable position to defend the city.

Duo Min was indignant, he consciously could be ranked within the top 50 among the masters, and it stands to reason that he is the best candidate to go on the expedition.

Who called him just the son of a commoner, there is no father of a master craftsman, nor a father-in-law of a minister, let alone a high apprentice of a national teacher, his father is a very ordinary barbarian, he was born stronger than other children and worked hard step by step, plus a little luck to get to today.

"Go, get up for me, the king has instructed before leaving that the king must be guarded, and there must be no mistakes, and the surrounding barbarians must not think that our Yelang country is empty and unprepared, so give me a beating."

Yelang guards come from ordinary families Yelang barbarians, and if they don't get the opportunity to expedition to Shuzhong, they will lose the qualification for the distribution of loot, and the barbarians defending the city are demoralized and full of complaints, and they are kicked a few times before they reluctantly get up and stay around the fire.

The night in the mountains is infested with poisonous insects and beasts, even if the Yelang King has been combed for dozens of miles year after year, there is still no guarantee that there are no wild beasts in the mountains and forests, often in the middle of the night, the wolf howls will be heard, and unknown animals roar.

Duo Min picked up the unknown taro and threw it into the fire to burn, and the crackling flames jumped and floated with a trace of heat.

"I haven't been at home for more than ten days, I don't know if my grandma's health is okay? Does Abba eat? How is she and her child doing now? ”

Woooooo

Duomin's ears immediately propped up, and the strange beast cry rang out again.

"What kind of beast's cry is this? Did you hear that? ”

The brute dozed with his eyes closed, his eyes wide open and his face blank: "I don't know." ”

"You go and have a look."

The brute soldier was very reluctant with a bitter face: "You don't have to go over when it's so dark, right?" If it's some beast, we're going to die in vain. ”

Duo Min was angry: "If you are told to go, you will go!" Don't be careful, my knife won't grow long! ”

"Okay, let's go and take a look, don't blame us if we can't find it." The barbarians staggered to their feet, torches in their hands, shoddy short bows and daggers in their hands, and walked towards the dense forest outside the city.

The figure of the barbarian quickly disappeared into the jungle, and he could faintly hear each other shouting for safety, Duo Min did not dare to relax in the slightest, and it was also very tricky for a group of fierce beasts to emerge in the middle of the night, and it would be even worse if it was an ambush of a certain barbarian.

Quack Quack ...... Chirp......

Strange birds fluttered in the woods, and in the eerie night, there was no longer a sound in the dense forest.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and come out! ”

"Don't think you're fooling around without talking, come out quickly!"

Duo Min stood outside the woods and shouted back and forth, expecting familiar faces to come out of the woods, even if it was just a few witty words with a hippie smile, he would never hit them, he promised not.

However, the woods remained silent.

"What to do? Shall I go in and investigate? Duo Min swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and looked around to see that the residents of the city were still asleep, and the defenders of the other sentry posts were also asleep, only he had nothing to do but go to see any changes in the forest, and all the barbarians under him were gone, and Duo Min was in a dilemma.

"I should go into the forest, it's my responsibility!"

Facing the secluded dense forest in the middle of the night, like the mouth of a giant beast that chooses people to devour, Duo Min took a few steps forward and retreated.

He was timid, and took a few steps back: "No, I should go back and tell the minister who guards the city." ”

Duomin turned around and walked back, his steps getting faster and faster, as if a wild beast was chasing him, until the back of his neck ached, and he fell heavily to the ground, and he felt the loss of strength, and his limbs twitched, and his whole body trembled.

Lying on his side on the clammy ground, he watched as countless red-clothed soldiers appeared at the edge of the dense forest, raising torches, and the bright light of the fire illuminated the Great Forest.

Duo Min opened his eyes wide with the last of his strength: "You are...... Han Army! (To be continued)
