Chapter 206: Yelang declares war

Ji Xin is gone. small

Ding Gong's body was cremated and he left in a hurry with his ashes, saying that he would bury Ding Gong next to his father, leaving the pathetic avenger with one last trace of thought, to fulfill his former ambition, to live for revenge, and to die for revenge.

Wang Meng was also cremated, only cremated in the hot and humid tropical rainforest, with all kinds of reluctance, he picked up a box of ashes and left the jungle.

Ding Gong's reinforcements, the South Vietnamese soldiers arrived belatedly, and they got bad news, Ding Gong's assassin organization was wiped out.

Leaving the primeval forest, he headed north to join the commander of the Southern Army who had made a difficult trek in the territory of Yoro Country.

"Oops! General Che Cai, you can make it easy for me to find, from Chang'an to Huainan, and then turn around to Bashu and cross the mountains and mountains, our soldiers are tired. Zhuang Qingzhai's face was not very good, his eyes were swollen and his face was tired.

The situation of the soldiers of the southern army is even worse, although it is a carefully selected southern county soldiers, but most of them only live in the subtropical areas on both sides of the Yangtze River, come to the veritable tropical rainforest all kinds of unaccustomed, water and soil are not adapted to vomit and diarrhea There are a lot of plagues, fortunately, there are medical officers in the army who carefully recuperate, and when the situation of a large area of water and soil adaptation is aggravated, Yu Qingzhai will order the army to stop and do rest and recuperation, so stumbling forward, there are still more than 100 people who died of complications caused by water and soil adaptation.

"If you change to a northern soldier, there will be several times more people dead, the weather here is too hot, the Han soldiers are not used to eating, and the climate can't stand it."

Cao Shi was deeply touched.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the South Vietnamese, he ran to the southwest of the South Vietnamese country. Adjacent to the harbor of the Indochina Peninsula, the climate there gives him the feeling of being like the feeling of visiting Phuket in his previous life, and his skin is dark and rough after only a month, and he may become a brown-skinned person after a few more months.

In the land of Tiannan, rice has always been used as a diet, but the Han family does not like to grow rice, including the two Huaijiang Jiangnan areas are also mostly corn as the staple food, the reason is that the seeds of rice are not good, the production is very low, and the nutritional value of rice is not as high as corn. Eat as much as the strength does not rise. You have to eat more to have an effect, which invisibly increases the consumption of food.

The land is not divided into north and south, and the Han people all eat corn as their staple food, and suddenly came to Tiannan to eat rice. The stomach can't stand it. The body has to have an adverse reaction. Bad effects similar to allergies.

Cao Shi was still worried about Liu Ling's condition, and from Qianzhong County to the mountain road of Shuzhong Mountain, which was far away from eighteen pans, her illness had not healed and she could not bear the repeated tossing. The medical workers in the army prescribed several prescriptions, and the curative effect is not yet known.

"Liu An, the king of Huainan, tied his hands and confessed the main evidence of the rebellion, and the Son of Heaven was furious, and belittled Liu An, the king of Huainan, and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, as commoners, and sent them to live in the imperial village outside Chang'an City together with the relatives of the king of Huainan and the king of Hengshan.

Cao Shi blinked: "King Huainan is so finished?" ”

"Yes! Liu An asked for atonement for his sins, and presented a piece of "Honglie" to the Son of Heaven, asking for Dr. Huang Laoxue to preach for the Son of Heaven. ”

"I thought I would only be demoted to a marquis."

Zhuang Qingzhai smacked his lips: "There is indeed this possibility, although the rebellion of the King of Huainan has been exposed, but the repentance is very sincere, his rebellion was also tempted by the Duke of Ding, involved in the rebellion of Liu Chang, the king of Huainan Li, the Son of Heaven was under strong pressure from the clan, the King of Qi, the King of Chu, and the King of Zhao all wrote to ask the Son of Heaven to reinstate the two kings as marquis, and I estimate that in the next few months, an order will be issued to reinstate the seal." ”

Liu An wanted to rebel but couldn't hide it, when he inherited the throne of Huainan, he shouted out to avenge his father, Emperor Wen of Han didn't take Liu An how, Wu Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion wanted to rebel and didn't dare to rebel In the hesitation, Liu An was tied up by the minister of state and internal history, and Emperor Jing of Han didn't put Liu An how, and now he fell into the hands of the young son of heaven and was seized the throne.

"Wanhu Hou, I think the Son of Heaven will leave him in Chang'an City, so as not to make a small move by Liu An in the inner county."

"Almost, the princes and princes will never have fewer fiefdoms, and the princes and princes will not be less than the large number of ten thousand households, and no matter how few, it will be a shudder."

Zhuang Qingzhai has been baptized in politics for a long time, and Cao Shi is not a stunned young man in the political arena, and it will not take much effort to analyze the situation of the Son of Heaven thoroughly.

Although the circle of princes and marquis is not the same as that of meritorious princes, but the status of the two sides is completely equal, and it is impossible for Liu Ling to pick up the shelf of the princes and princesses to press him.

Zhuang Qingzhai with 18,000 county soldiers, the grain transportation along the way purely relied on the people of Bashu to transport it with a wheelbarrow, the difficulty of grain logistics transportation with the mountains and the more difficult, no food to eat the army's heart will be scattered, if you want to maintain supplies, you have to find your own way, hunting and gathering can solve some of the problems, there are too many poisonous insects and beasts in the tropical jungle and do not dare to collect unknown fruits casually, you must ask the local barbarian guide to identify and teach.

Just for the complicated military affairs accumulated for food, the head of the guard captain has become bigger.

At this time, the unconscious King Yelang sent a messenger again.

The envoy of the Yelang King said proudly: "Han foreign ministers! Didn't you say that you had an army of 100,000 under your command? Why did our king stand at the head of the city and count for a long time, and your army did not have a hundred thousand men, do you know what the consequences of deceiving our king are? ”

Cao Shi looked at the black and thin barbarian envoy, and his eyes were full of question marks.

"This is King Yelang's person, who stopped me several times to ask if Yelang is a big country, but I didn't pay attention to him."

Cao Shi snorted: "Could it be that Yelang is arrogant? ”

The face of the envoy of the Yelang King turned dark: "The Han people of force have insulted the great Yelang Kingdom, you wait to meet the wrath of the Great Yelang King!" ”

The person is gone.

"What's the situation?" Cao Shi was confused.

"As you feel, a megalomaniacal tribal king has warned us of war." Zhuang Qingzhai covered his head and had a headache to death, his physical condition was not very good recently, and the northerners suddenly went to the southern rainforest. All functions of the body have pain signals, and people in their forties are somewhat aging.

After a lot of effort to find the missing person Cao, he encountered a nasty Yelang country challenge, Zhuang Qingzhai really didn't understand, did he go out and didn't read the yellow calendar, and hit the evil spirit.

Cao Shi did not know the situation of Yelang Kingdom, he was robbed along the Yellow River to the east, crossed the Huai River through Huainan Kingdom, Hengshan Kingdom all the way south across the Yangtze River, and crossed the Wuling Mountains on the border of Changsha State to the territory of Nanyue Kingdom. Escape, play hide and seek along the Wuling Mountains. fled to the jungle in the southwest of Panyu, and then turned around and walked northwest to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

The front foot is out of the tiger's mouth, and before he can catch his breath, he ushered in the encounter of Yelang Country.

"Is this going to be hit?"

"You can also turn around and go east to Changsha country, but it won't be so simple next time."

"That's still going to be fought. How many soldiers do you have? ”

"Eighteen thousand. Two thousand people could not fight. The morale of the whole army is not high, there are still 30,000 troops in Shuzhong staying in Chengdu, and there are more than 5,000 people there who are not adapted to the water and soil and cannot fight for the time being. ”

Cao Shi's brows were twisted into pimples. The biggest trouble in the conquest of the south is the huge difference in the water and soil environment, the upper and lower vomiting and diarrhea are weak, and the legs and feet are so weak that they can't even hold their weapons, and they will only collapse and bring huge disasters if they barely go into battle.

In the evening of the same day, the guard issued a mobilization order, and the whole army hurried to Changsha overnight.

Yelangguo reacted a little sluggishly, and it took three days to notice that the Han army had disappeared, and Yelang's anger was like thunder: "The cunning and cowardly Han people have fled!" We were scammed! ”

"We've been deceived!"

"The Han people are despicable, deceive the king, deceive us."

Yelang Kingdom is a four-level aristocratic system of monarchs, ministers, teachers, and craftsmen, the king is the king of Yelang, and the ministers are similar to the three princes and nine kings of the Han Empire, and the division is a wizard and a historian, and the craftsman belongs to the grassroots officials.

Standing beside the Yelang King is at least the cave masters, tribal chiefs, heads and other nobles, in the big alliance of Yelang Kingdom, except for the Yelang King who calls himself the King of Dian, the status of everyone else is almost the same, the big chief is the minister, the small chief is the small minister, the smaller head can only be a craftsman, and the chiefs and heads who are not willing to stand and listen simply withdraw from the alliance and go their own way.

The fact that the alliance can come and go freely without restrictions does not mean that the Yoro Alliance is very weak.

There is no doubt that King Yelang is the most powerful chieftain in the alliance, and can enjoy the special title of king, Yelang Kingdom has experienced four dynastic periods within the country, and it is now the era of the Golden Bamboo Dynasty, and the King of Yelang, who has inherited the title of Golden Bamboo for generations, is a middle-aged man who is over forty years old, and when he was young, he was once a strong man who was admired by Yelang Country and even Southwest Yi.

But people will always age, and the king of Jinzhu, who was once as strong as an ox fighting a leopard with his bare hands, has transformed into an old man over fifty years old, his strong body has become shriveled and emaciated, his dark face is like a piece of ebony, and his speech is dry like a dry well.

"The Han people deceived the king and took revenge on them!"

"Get revenge on them!"

"Defeat the Han people and rob them of food and women!"

The minister of the auxiliary government took the opportunity to say: "King, the Han people are not as powerful as they imagined, the minister of the Han people is an incompetent person who loves to talk big, and the warriors of the Han people will only run away, so we might as well take the opportunity to enter Shu and seize the plain." ”

Yelang country is the strong of the southwest Yi, the strong period can command the southwest Yi, and even many barbarians in the Indochina Peninsula, claimed to be able to compete with the Great Chu Dynasty, Yelang people have always been very proud, but in front of the Central Plains Dynasty a little lack of confidence, the king of Chu sent troops to destroy and Lan, the frightened Yelang King hurriedly surrendered Gan attached to the tail.

The Qin people destroyed Chu and prostrate at the feet of the Great Qin Empire, they were cowardly towards the strong in their bones, they were afraid that the powerful Great Qin Empire swept across the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the humble barbarians were not the opponents of the Qin people at all.

Fortunately, the Great Qin soon perished, and unfortunately the Great Han was established again.

King Yelang was not happy for a long time to see that he had achieved nothing, the strength of the Han Empire was not inferior to the Qin people, they were fierce and brutal and brutally defeated the Yelang people to invade the misguided path of Shu, those hanged Hun bones frightened the southwest Yi, since then no one dared to fight the idea of the Han Empire, and the two sides spent sixty years without incident.

It was only at this time that Yelang was shocked that the Han people were weak and could be bullied, and the fear in their bones gradually faded, and the instinct to bully the soft and afraid of the hard began to rise, and they inevitably had to think about the flower world of the Han land.

Yelang's heart was moved.

King Yelang was very happy: "Good! We took the opportunity to lay down Shuzhong and live the world of Han flowers! ”

A few days later, the southern part of Yelang Kingdom bordered the South Vietnamese border, which was the traditional territory of the barbarian tribe of Ju Town.

Jumachi is an organization of nine tribal alliances, the strongest is the tribe surrounded by red vines, and the barbarian tribe that helps Cao Shi happens to be one of the nine tribes.

Set up camp in front of an open field adjacent to the valley river, and the camp hung a red and black flag with a large "Han" character written on it.

There were 5,000 divisions of the Southern Army stationed here, and Cao Shi strongly asked the Southern Army to send 5,000 elite soldiers to him to personally command, on the grounds that he would make up for the merits to solve the crisis in Yelang Kingdom.

Zhuang Qingzhai evacuated to Changsha with 13,000 southern troops to rest and recuperate, which could not only lure the Yelang people to relax their vigilance, but also leave Cao Shi with 5,000 capable soldiers and capable generals, as well as enough food for three months, medicine, arrows and other supplies.

The makeshift war room is a rudimentary dirt sand table.

The large and small mountainous areas on the sand table are covered with moss, representing every mountain valley, as well as the roads and trails in a radius of 500 miles, and the vividness of the zuò is breathtaking.

Surprisingly, Cao Shi is not the maker of the sand table, the real knife operator is the arrogant little barbarian, he is the little guy who carried the steel knife last time.

There were dozens of officers standing to the left and right of the big tent, as well as a few barbarian warriors with feathered heads, who stared at the strange sand table.

The officers wore silk underwear, covered with coarse linen undershirts, this is a new training uniform at the beginning of this year, the emperor has money, the first time to improve the treatment of the army, every year the army in the middle and lower winter and summer regular clothes to raise the standard, originally only the lieutenant can wear silk underwear, the commander of the middle officer can also wear it, the food standard from two meals a day to see meat, to three meals a day with meat.

The improvement of remuneration has greatly improved the morale of the army, and the appearance and discipline of the army have also been greatly strengthened.

Cao Shi sat in the big tent, the halberders on both sides were as majestic as a mountain, a drum fell, and the needles in the big tent could be heard.

The general's golden seal and purple ribbon are not around, and the standard of the general will not be lowered by half a point, the general has the responsibility of opening the mansion to recruit the enemy, and the officers and men of the Southern Army are all obedient to the general of the cavalry.

"Meet the General!"

"Rise up!"

"Whoa!"

Chen Wuxian, the captain of the southern army, came out of the ranks, turned around and walked to the sand table with a salute, pointed to the mountains of Yelang Country and said: "Generals, listen to my brief description of the current information, today's April 28 of the second year of Jianyuan, ten days ago, Yelang people issued a war warning to our army, seven days ago, there was a change in Yelang country, yesterday's latest information, Yelang people gathered 130,000 soldiers, and it is expected that half a month later, the north invaded Shu and took Chengdu directly, and it is known that Yelang Wang Jinzhu, Yelang eight ministers, two divisions, six ** craftsmen, and the chieftain head of Twenty-two Yi, in addition to the King of Dian, the king of Kunming, the king of Qiong, the king of Shoumi, and the king of Ailao, there was a change, and the king of Yelang Jinzhu had gone to Kunming to personally persuade the Southwest Yi to jointly send troops. (To be continued!)

ps: The Yunnan-Guizhou region is the territory of the Southwest Yi, most of the modern ethnic minorities in the southwest are related by blood, and the relationship between the Southwest Yi and the Chu State is unreasonable and chaotic, although there are various theories to prove or refute, but it is undeniable that the Chu culture is the hegemon-level civilization in the south. The Chu people are a mixture of the descendants of the Xiong clan and the Shang king, the Chu king takes the bear as the clan, the totem of the Chu country is the bear, the Xiong clan belongs to the Xia, the Xia Shang is the enemy, and the enemy and the enemy are the mixed blood, which is quite interesting.
