"Annan?"

Nie Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of place is this?" ”

In the face of Nie Zheng's inquiry, Jia Xiufang pondered slightly for a moment, and then he told Nie Zheng some detailed information about "Annan".

Annam, across the river from the Yuan River, is located in the southwest border of the Great Song Dynasty, was originally a remote county of the imperial court frontier, with five cities and 28 counties, and the foreign indigenous tribe "Da Yue" adjacent to the border.

"Da Yue" has always been a subordinate domain of the Great Song Dynasty before, and it pays tribute and worship every year.

However, twenty years ago, the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty declined, traitorous ministers were in power, and the imperial court was mediocre and incompetent, which led to continuous internal strife and foreign enemies.

As a result, Sang Kang, the chief of the "Da Yue" tribe, took the opportunity to cut off contact with the imperial court, established the "Da Yue Kingdom" on the north bank of the Namei River, and called himself the "Great Victorious King".

Due to the fertile land and large population of the neighboring Song Tuan County, Sang Kang's wolf ambition that he had endured for many years was finally fully revealed.

In the years after Sang Kang established the "Great Yue Kingdom", he had sent tribal coalition troops many times to forcibly break into the territory of Annan County, frantically burning, killing, looting, raping and plundering the local Han people, and doing all kinds of evil, which was even more hateful than the horse bandits.

These Dayue natives treat the Han people like pigs and dogs, their methods are cruel, and their actions are cold-blooded, which is simply unconscionable and outrageous.

Due to the repeated invasions of the Dayue aborigines, the imperial court ordered the Annan County Government to gather and recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses to go to conquer the Dayue foreign invaders.

As a result, the 100,000 soldiers who were temporarily put together by the Annan County Government, where were the opponents of those ruthless and cunning Dayue natives, were killed by the murderous Dayue Tu coalition army, and they lost their armor and suffered countless casualties. In the end, less than 3,000 remnants of the defeated army fled back to Annam, and the government and the opposition were shocked.

After Da Yue defeated the 100,000 soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to conquer, Sang Kang's ambitions exploded unprecedentedly. Because, he suddenly found that the seemingly powerful Great Song Dynasty was so vulnerable.

Just after Sang Kang defeated the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Annan County, within three months, he gathered the twelve tribes of Dayue, personally led the elite of 50,000 tribes, swept through the southern Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty, slaughtered countless officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and completely occupied Annan County, making it a territory under the border of Dayue.

After Sang Kang captured Annan County, the imperial court was furious and sent troops to attack and crusade many times, but each time he was killed by Sang Kang.

In addition, Sang Kang took advantage of the danger of crossing the Yuan River, and if the imperial army wanted to conquer Dayue, it had to cross the Yuan River.

However, this group of natives of the Dayue tribe is not only good at riding and shooting traps, brave and good at fighting, but their water ghost warships are even more powerful in the South Seas, causing the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty to suffer heavy losses.

The imperial army's conquest of Dayue was planted under the enemy's conspiracy many times, because the fleet full of Song troops could not reach the other shore at all, and was scuttled by the enemy's water ghost warships.

After many fruitless expeditions, in the end, the imperial court had to temporarily give up the crusade against Sangkang.

Because, just when Sangkang was disturbing southern Xinjiang, the five counties outside the Guanwai of the Great Song Empire and the five surnamed gate lords in Lingnan supported their own troops and rebelled against themselves to claim the king. In addition, the Xiongnu on the northern steppe repeatedly provoked incidents and wanted to wave their troops to invade the south.

Surrounded by those tigers and wolves, where did the imperial court still have the heart to pay attention to Sang Kang, the little grasshopper, and finally, seeing that Sang Kang did not have the intention of leading the army across the river, slowly, the imperial court gradually gave up the recovery of Annan County, and finally guarded across the river with Sang Kang, who occupied Annan County.

However, although the imperial court gave up the recovery of Annan County, it suffered the people of the Great Song Dynasty who were ruled by Sang Kang.

Millions of Han people, under the tyrannical and bloody rule of the Dayue aristocracy, are like a group of slaves who have been whipped wantonly, living day and night, life is worse than death, and there is no daylight.

Ay......

After telling this, Jia Xiufang sighed deeply, and her expression was a little heavy.

After hearing this, Nie Zheng was also angry at the mediocrity and incompetence of the imperial court. At the same time, he was very moved by Jia Xiufang's proposal to capture Annan County.

You must know that Annam County was occupied by foreigners, and the imperial court gave up on the conquest of the enemy.

Obviously, Annan County, which is located on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, is now a borderless land, and of course, as long as Sangkang's gang of Dayue natives is driven away, Annan will be ownerless.

However, none of this was enough to make Nie Zheng's heart move.

What moved Nie Zheng the most was the millions of Han people in Annan County, as well as the vast and boundless fertile land.

It is said that Annam-gun is located in the south, where the four seasons are like spring, the climate is pleasant, and the fish and rice are abundant.

If he really succeeded in occupying Annam County, rescued all the Han people from the hands of those brutal and cold-blooded Dayue natives, and restored their freedom, then the millions of Annam people would definitely be grateful to themselves and support them.

At that time, with millions of people as the foundation, engaged in production and labor, it is estimated that in a few years, he Nie Zheng will completely grow and rise.

When that day comes, there will be a large number of logistical personnel to build military bases and airfields, and there will be no reason not to do such a good thing in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if you continue to nest in the Longhu Mountains, the airport will never be built, first of all, there are few wide and flat places in the area of Menghuling.

At present, the only thing that bothers Nie Zheng is how to get rid of those Dayue natives.

Although he has not yet fought against the murderous Dayue natives, Nie Zheng feels that the enemy's strength should not be weak, otherwise how could the imperial court army that had been beaten many times come back?

If you really decide to capture Annan, I don't know if the arms and weapons in my hands and the tens of millions of funds in the arms shopping street will be enough to consume.

After all, this is a large-scale war of attrition and a tough battle, and it is estimated that it will not be completely ended in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, and asked again: "How far is Annan County from here?" ”

Jia Xiufang calmed down and said, "It's about three thousand miles away." ”

"So far?"

Nie Zheng frowned and said, "If we really want to go to Annan County, don't we have to take these tens of thousands of horses and horses and travel for two months?" Wouldn't it be very troublesome if we encountered the pursuit and obstruction of officers and soldiers along the way? ”

Jia Xiufang lowered her head and thought for a while, and said: "If we go straight south along the Longhu Mountain Range, we can also reach the Yuanjiang River after bypassing the two counties of southern Yunnan and Bashu. It's just that the road will be farther, but it will not be blocked by officers and soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng said in a deep voice: "In this case, how long will it take to arrive?" ”

Jia Xiufang replied without thinking, "About four months." ”

Nie Zheng touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and muttered: "Four months, the time has doubled, if this route is safe and unimpeded, it is acceptable, but our grain and grass, I am afraid it will be difficult to support such a long time." ”

Jia Xiufang frowned and said, "Alliance leader, how much grain and grass is stored in this Tiger Village now?" ”

"More than 40,000 stones."

Nie Zheng replied without thinking, "It's barely enough for tens of thousands of horses in this Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and it lasts for about three months." ”

Hearing this, Jia Xiufang lowered his head and fell into deep thought, suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he smiled slightly: "Alliance leader, since there is not enough grain and grass, why don't we borrow grain from the official government of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his reaction was half a beat slower, "Borrow grain from the government...... How to borrow? ”

Jia Xiufang picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, looked confident, and said, "Alliance leader, have you ever thought about it?" Since the last Ao War quickly withdrew the army, and the Xiongnu were about to invade the south, in this extraordinary period, all the energy and strength of the imperial court were focused on how to resist the Xiongnu army. If I'm not mistaken, at this time, some states and counties near the Longhu Mountain Range must be exhausted, and the city will be empty. If the alliance leader leads the men and horses at this time, with the momentum of thunder, to loot all the official grain depots and silver depots in some states and counties closest to Longhu Mountain, who can stop them under your immortal firearms? ”

As soon as these words came out, Nie Zheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he clapped his hands on the spot. "Haha...... What Xiufang said is good, I will gather people tomorrow and sweep the nearby states and counties, and turn it upside down! Looted all the grain depots and silver depots of the official mansion, and took out a fierce breath of the evil qi that has been suffered these days! ”
