Chapter 592: Pre-War Secret Meeting
Three hours after the Taran tribesman left. There was a rush of hooves, a battle that could only be made by a large number of war horses. Nearly a thousand Wuhuan warriors roared over, and they also brought hundreds of flight attendants' war horses, and the people from the Talan tribe arrived.
For, it is the young patriarch of the Taran tribe, Zaru!
Qianluo smiled and introduced Zalu and Zhao Yun, and when Zalu learned that the young military general in front of him was Zhao Yun, who was famous for his bloody battles outside Luoyang City, his eyes lit up suddenly. Although the two of them have never known each other, Zalu still patted Zilong on the shoulder without seeing it, and said with a long smile: "Haha, it turned out to be Changshan Zhao Zilong, no wonder he has this bearing, he is worthy of being Ah Niu's righteous brother!" ”
The heroism of the man outside the Saiwai is fully revealed in Zalu.
Zhao Yun obviously has a good impression of a temperamental person like Zalu, and said with a smile: "I often hear the fourth brother mention the heroic spirit of the young patriarch of Zalu, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, and Zilong has also been fond of the young patriarch of Zalu for a long time." ”
After a few words, the two people who met for the first time seemed to be friends who had known each other for many years.
The soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion were under the command of Deputy General Liang Long, and the detachment was selecting the war horses in turn. For cavalry, the war horse is the most important and loyal companion, and it is not to be sloppy at all. The Wuhuan war horses brought by Zalu and the others were of extremely high grade, and even some of the war horses were superior to the high-grade war horses sold to Fengxiang by the Talan tribe, which made the soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion extremely excited.
Excitement turned into excitement, the queue of the entire army was not chaotic at all, and after the cavalry who had chosen the horses they wanted, they silently led the horses to the open space at the other end and stood in line, waiting for the other soldiers to finish their selection.
There was no noise from anyone during the whole process, and the military discipline of the Flying Wing Battalion was not inferior to that of the trapped camp!
Seeing such a situation, Zalu's eyes were full of light, the first time he saw the Flying Wing Battalion, this cavalry unit of more than 500 people left a deep impression on him, "Although the number of this unit is small, it has an indescribable temperament that seems familiar...... By the way, it's the White Horse! I felt similar pressure when I played against Hakuma! ”
Thinking of Bai Ma Yicong, Zalu's face couldn't help but turn a little pale, his heartbeat increased, and after taking a deep breath to calm down his feelings, Zalu's confidence in the Flying Wing Battalion was a little more sufficient. He is different from the old Qianluo who "just talks but does not practice", Zalu is not only the young patriarch of the Talan tribe, but also a famous warrior in the clan, and Zalu has participated in every war that the tribe has experienced in the past ten years.
Therefore, he had an almost instinctive intuition about whether a force was strong in combat effectiveness, and Zalu had already subconsciously decided: If only one unit in the Wuhuan coalition has the ability to confront Bai Ma Yicong head-on, then it must be this flying wing battalion of more than 500 people!
Qianluo's emphasis on the Flying Wing Battalion. Elevate to unprecedented heights.
"Zilong, after the war horse is chosen, we will go to the temporary settlements of the tribes to meet with the large army, and there will be a banquet to welcome the Fengxiang army tonight. You have come all the way from Qingzhou, the soldiers are somewhat tired, and you have the right to rest for a few days to fade away before making plans, with your flying wing battalion to help, I am already looking forward to the situation of capturing that Gongsun Chan alive and beating him with a horse whip! ”
Zhao Yun thought for a moment, nodded and said: "This is very good, Zilong also has this intention, even if the soldiers are not seasick, it will take a process to get familiar with these war horses." If it's convenient, the banquet is still free. ”
Due to the existence of the golden carp, the fleet of the Canglan Sailor Division rushed from Qingzhou to Youzhou, and the journey was smooth sailing, and they were not attacked by any wind and waves at all, and the cavalry did not appear at all due to the physical discomfort of the boat guide, and Zhao Yun was actually worried about the run-in process between the cavalry of the Flying Wing Battalion and the Wuhuan war horse. It is very important for the cavalry and the war horse to cooperate tacitly on the battlefield, to unite the man and horse, to understand each other and to integrate emotionally.
Nearly half of the soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion have already selected war horses, but the degree of horse selection is getting slower and slower, and the first few groups of soldiers have already picked out those particularly good war horses, and the cavalry of the Flying Wing Battalion behind this guide has almost no horses to choose from.
Zaru also realized this problem, and said embarrassedly: "We brought these war horses just to give you a ride, but I didn't expect you to start choosing horses now." In this way, I will let the accompanying clansmen give up their mounts, as long as Feng Xiangjun can see it, just take it away! ”
"Thank you."
Zilong was not polite to Zalu, and in just a while, he already understood that dealing with such a rough man should go straight. When the Flying Wing Battalion came to Youzhou, it was about to face a strong enemy that he had never encountered in his life and the enemy was outnumbered, and Zilong really didn't dare to slack off. The journey from Port-au-Prince to the tribal settlements of Wuhuan was just the right time for the soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion to conduct a series of tests on the horses (degree, endurance, balance, coordination, reflexes, etc.) to complete the initial integration.
Zilong, who pursues perfection, doesn't want to delay for a minute!
A quarter of an hour later, the horse selection session was completed, and under the leadership of Zaru, more than a thousand horsemen rode away.
The temporary residence of the Wuhuan tribes is on the grassland twenty miles outside the city of Beiping, and there are several streams not far away. After all, they are nomads, and even when they are fighting, they will definitely choose a place with water and grass to camp.
The confrontation between the Wuhuan coalition army and the Beiping army has been more than a month, and the Beiping army has not lost the idea of this temporary station, and has taken advantage of the night to sneak attack several times without success. As far as Zhao Yun could see, a few simple fortifications had been built in this temporary station, although in Zhao Yun's opinion, the defense system of the Wuhuan people's station was extremely unprofessional, but it was not easy to see this situation in the nomadic station.
This is an improvement made by the Wuhuan coalition army after paying a lot of heavy costs.
The Lord of the Talan tribe Fu Dun personally greeted him, but most of the other Wuhuan tribes reacted indifferently, such a reaction is not surprising, the Fengxiang army came at the invitation of the Talan tribe, and has no direct relationship with other Wuhuan tribes. For the Wuhuan people, the alliance of various tribes has no way to take Gongsun Zhan, and it is a shameless thing to be forced to ask for help from the outside world, not to mention that the reinforcements invited are still troops from the territory of the Inhumans!
Especially when they saw that there were only a few more than 500 troops sent by the first city in the world, that insipidity quickly turned into indifference. Even Lord Futon, there was a trace of embarrassment lingering on his face, and Feng Xiang's reinforcements were a little less.
Zhao Yun took in this qiē, and before he came out, Feng Xiang had enough mental preparation for such a situation. Zilong just politely greeted the adults of the various tribes present, it is a fact that the small number of Fengxiang troops is easy to be despised This is a fact, if you want to understand the value of the Flying Wing Battalion, it can only be reflected on the battlefield.
Seeing that the scene was a little deserted, Fton laughed and said: "In the battle of the Yellow Turbans besieging Luoyang, under the siege of hundreds of thousands of elite Yellow Turban troops, General Zilong led thousands of horsemen out of the city dozens of times to meet them, and they were like entering a no-man's land. This allowed Luoyang City to hold on to waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Fengxiang City can win the victory in the Battle of Luoyang, this young hero Zilong has made great contributions, and the lord of Aniu City asked Zilong to lead the Flying Wing Battalion to come to the aid and defeat the Beiping Army! ”
Futon's words are somewhat exaggerated, but no one from the Wuhuan tribes has personally experienced that war, and no one is qualified to question this, in fact, most of the people's descriptions of the Battle of Luoyang are a little watery, and many versions are more excessive than Futon's words.
Many adults of the Wuxing tribe still don't know that this general, who looks heroic and has an easy-going expression, is Zhao Yun, who was famous in the Battle of Luoyang, and when he heard Futon say this, his eyes looked at Zhao Yun and suddenly became a little solemn, after all, in the Battle of Luoyang, no one can ignore the brilliance of the Flying Wing Battalion.
In this way, Fton's purpose was achieved.
Fton is over half a hundred years old, stocky, the wind and frost on the prairie only took away all his head, but he didn't have time to take away the mountains of fat on his body, this adult's body shape may be described as "six feet tall and six feet waistline", an absolute fat man.
"I don't know if any horse can hold up this adult's weight!" Zhao Yun sighed in his heart, and suddenly thought of this question, there is no doubt that for the vast majority of war horses, being ridden by Futon is a nightmare experience.
After Fu Dun praised Zhao Yun, he suddenly asked, "General Zilong, I don't know when the city lord of Aniu will come to Youzhou?" The Taran tribe has been cooperating with Fengxiang City for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to meet the city lord of Aniu, and Fton has always regretted it. Presumably General Zilong also saw it. With my body, even if I want to go to Fengxiang City to have a look, I'm afraid Fengxiang City can't buy clothes that I can wear......"
At the end, Fton laughed again, and when Fton laughed, his eyes completely disappeared from his face, and there was a lot of fat on his face.
Zilong smiled and said, "Lord Furton, you can rest assured, the master tailors of Fengxiang City are ready to serve your adults and make clothes that you are satisfied with." As for my fourth brother, he has already rushed to Youzhou in advance, saying that he wants to personally go to Beiping City to investigate, and now it should be about the same, I believe that he will come here soon to meet the adults. ”
Futon and Qianluo were both in the same place, and the two looked at each other, and Qianluo shook his head very innocently, to show that he knew nothing about the matter.
Fu Dun carefully confirmed: "Zilong is saying that the city lord of Ah Niu has arrived in Youzhou?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded. "Yes."
A certain city lord had indeed arrived in Beiping in advance, and he had indeed made some inquiries about the situation in Beiping City. A Niu, who has the Black Feather Eagle King to travel, can't use a day if he wants to fly from the territory to Youzhou Beiping to the morning and night. Da Hei landed on the outskirts of Beiping, Ah Niu teleported all the way into Beiping City, as for Da Hei, Ah Niu was not worried at all, and let the Black Feather Eagle King forage for food on his own.
In fact, the Zilong Club also has a branch in Beiping City, although it is far from being as numerous as its Qingzhou base camp, but if hundreds of players are just looking for information, there is no problem at all. After making the decision to send troops to Youzhou, all the members of the Zilong Society in Youzhou began to pay attention to the information in Beiping, and after the Zilong Society summarized it internally, it was handed over to Ah Niu.
Despite this, Ah Niu still believes that it is necessary to take a look at many aspects for himself, which also fully reflects Ah Niu's caution about sending troops to Youzhou.
However, going to Beiping City to find out the news is not the main purpose of Ah Niu's solo trip to Beiping, and it can even be regarded as an excuse. Before Liu Yu announced that he would invite Ah Niu to mediate the dispute and Feng Xiang's army officially entered the battle, it was the main topic to meet with Gongsun Zhan and complete the preliminary negotiations.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Ah Niu rushed to Youzhou in advance alone, but in this case, it is inconvenient to say it to the Talan tribe.
When the Flying Wing Battalion arrived in Port-au-Prince, a certain city lord had already completed the investigation of Beiping City, and a large number of Wuhuan people outside the city had already posed a serious threat to the stability of Beiping City, and the people in the city were panicking.
Ah Niu sighed, went straight to the outside of the Taishou Mansion, and said to a few sergeants guarding the door: "Please report to Gongsun Taishou, just say that Zheng Aniu of Fengxiang City is coming to visit." ”
"But the city lord of Fengxiang in Qingzhou, Lord Zheng Aniu, the general of Zhaode?"
The sergeant guarding the gate was not slow to react, and in the NPC world, it was really rare for someone to not know the name of a certain city lord.
Ah Niu smiled, "Exactly." ”
The sergeant guarding the door was busy saluting Ah Niu, as a five-grade official, it was inevitable to get such courtesy. Although they didn't understand why Ah Niu suddenly came to Youzhou Beiping from Qingzhou. But he still said respectfully: "Lord Niu, please wait, I'll wait for this to go and pass it on." ”
As expected, Gongsun Zhan soon sent someone to invite Ah Niu in.
"I didn't expect the city lord of Aniu to come to Beiping, and he missed the distance, so don't blame him." As soon as they met, Gongsun Zhan's loud voice came, as if the two were very familiar.
Ah Niu's enthusiasm for Gongsun Chan is not surprising.
Although Ah Niu is only a lord player, the strength and prestige of the first city in the world have long been spread due to many wars, who dares to underestimate a lord player who can withstand the siege of the Yellow Turban Army across the country and force Nanyang Taishou to return Lu Zhi? In the eyes of most princes, Fengxiang City already has the ability to match the princes. Fengxiang City Lord's Wupin Zhaode general rank is similar to that of the state pastor, half a level higher than Gongsun Zhan, the Taishou, although it is now the era of the division of the heroes, but this identity is somewhat useful.
"Gongsun Taishou is busy with affairs, and now the Beiping Army and the Wuhuan tribes are tense, and Ah Niu has taken the liberty to come and be received by Taishou, which is a deep honor." Ah Niu laughed.
Seeing Ah Niu mention the Wuhuan people, a fierce look appeared on Gongsun Zhan's face, "Those Hu people are stubborn, they dare to run outside Beiping City to spread wild, these days our army has killed more than 10,000 Wuhuan people, but they refuse to retreat when they die, sooner or later I will let them all bury their bones here!" ”
Seeing that Ah Niu was silent, Gongsun Chan realized that he shouldn't say this in front of the guests, and said with a smile: "Ah Niu City Lord came to Beiping this time, what happened?" ”
A certain city lord sighed, "It's not a secret, Ah Niu was invited by someone, hoping to resolve the battle between Lord Gongsun and the Wuhuan people, and turn the conflict into a jade silk." ”
Gongsun Zhan was stunned, his face quickly sank, and he asked tentatively, "Invited by someone, Liu Yu?" ”
"Yes, it's Liu Zhoumu."
Gongsun Zhan stood up and sneered: "If the city lord of Aniu is here to help Liu Yu as a lobbyist and let me bow my head to those Wuhuan people, please avoid opening your mouth, so as not to hurt the harmony between Beiping and Fengxiang City." ”
Ah Niu was not moved by Gongsun Zhan's words at all, and said indifferently: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people." Moreover, Ah Niu believes that it is meaningless for this battle to continue, if everyone takes a step back, they can all end with dignity, and the soldiers and people of Beiping will no longer have to suffer from the war. ”
Gongsun Zhan's brows moved, and Ah Niu's words reminded him of Guan Jing's bitter advice during the deliberations before.
Although Gongsun Zhan was very angry at that time and almost killed Guan Jing to vent his anger, after calming down, he already regretted his impulse just now. What Guan Jing said is not unreasonable.
After being silent for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know how the city lord of Ah Niu plans to solve it. ”
"The cause of the conflict between the Wuhuan people and the Beiping army, Ah Niu already knows a little bit about it, if Gongsun Taishou can show his generosity and sincerity, and return the detained Wuhuan merchants' goods and goods, Ah Niu is willing to do his best to promote the Wuhuan people to withdraw from the army." A certain city lord said lightly.
Gongsun Zhan's face turned red, and Ah Niu's mention made him feel a little humiliated, and he held back his anger and said, "Do you want to return their goods?" No way! The Wuhuan people have won less and lost more than our Beiping army, they are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me at all, it is not impossible to get back those goods, it depends on whether their swords and arrows are sharp enough! ”
Ah Niu also stood up, looked at Gongsun Chan without flinching and said: "Ah Niu believes that with the strength of the Beiping army, it is not impossible to defeat the Wuhuan coalition army, but even if Gongsun Taishou wins the final victory in the end, Beiping will pay a heavy price." Before arriving at Taishoufu, Ah Niu saw that the streets of Beiping were sparsely populated, and the market was empty because there were not enough merchants and goods.
Listening to those villagers, the situation in Beiping City is not bad, at least the Wuhuan people cannot attack, as for the towns and villages in Beiping, most of them are under the threat of Wuhuan cavalry. Many villages have been burned, hundreds of people have lost their lives under the butcher's knives of the Wuhuan cavalry, and the land is uncultivated.
With all due respect, why did Gongsun Taishou put thousands of Beiping villagers in fire and water because of his own preferences? The world will not remember Gongsun Taishou Ping Hu's meritorious work, but will only remember that because of your stubbornness, the Wuhuan people sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and countless people shed blood for this! ”
Speaking of later, Ah Niu's voice was full of expression.
Gongsun Chan couldn't help but feel a chill, "In their minds, I am actually such an image?" Gongsun Chanji became suspicious of his decision.
But this hesitation lasted only a few seconds, and Gongsun Zhan's almost instinctive hatred for the northern minorities prevailed.
He turned his head and said coldly to Ah Niu: "I don't know what others say about me, I only know that before I arrived, tens of thousands of Han people in Youzhou would die every year under the plundering of the Hu people. If it weren't for the Beiping Army's long-term and continuous suppression of those despicable Hu people, the Han people of Youzhou would not have the status they have today, and it is also a luxury to live comfortably!
I won't change my mind, and Ah Niu City Lord doesn't have to make any more useless efforts, and the Tao is not the same, Ah Niu City Lord, please do it. ”
Ah Niu shrugged his shoulders, slowly paced to the door, stopped, and said without looking back: "I respect the efforts made by the Beiping Army to maintain the stability of Youzhou, but Gongsun Taishou should also see that just the war with the Wuhuan people in the past month or so has caused more than 50,000 Han people, which is equivalent to the population loss in the past five years." This is the backlash that you have brought about by your overly tough repression of the minorities in the north!
In addition, since I have been invited to mediate the dispute, I will definitely do my best, even if Fengxiang City has to be directly involved in the war. If disputes can be resolved through fighting, so that more people will not be spared bloodshed, Ah Niu will not hesitate! ”
Gongsun Zhan's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "Then it depends on whether the Fengxiang Army is as brave and good at fighting as the legend!" ”
Ah Niu smiled and didn't speak, and strode away.
Out of the Taishou Mansion, Ah Niu didn't have too much disappointment on his face, which was expected.
Ah Niu is well aware of the strength of the Beiping Army, and wants a diehard element like Gongsun Chan to compromise when he has the upper hand, which is almost equivalent to a fool's dream, even if the compromise is only symbolic!
Knowing that the meeting might be fruitless, Ah Niu still refused to omit this step, and wanted to show more of a gesture: Fengxiangcheng hoped to resolve the dispute between the Beiping Army and the Wuhuan people in a peaceful way, Fengxiang did not want to resort to force, let alone make an enemy of Gongsun Zhan, and this time the Fengxiang army entered Youzhou completely out of the invitation of the Wuhuan people and Liu Yu.
In this way, even if Gongsun Chan still insists on going his own way in the end, and the Fengxiang Army has to fight with the Beiping Army, it is still possible to leave room for everyone to meet in the future, instead of becoming a mortal enemy.
In addition, Ah Niu's approach can also be regarded as an explanation to Lu Zhi.
After all, Gongsun Chan is one of Lu Zhi's most proud disciples, even if he doesn't agree with Gongsun Chan's strategy of treating ethnic minorities, he definitely hopes that Ah Niu and Gongsun Chan will not fight recklessly.
"It seems that it's time to go to the Wuhuan people." (To be continued)
