Chapter 283: False or Sincere
Good news came from the frontal battlefield of Bashu:
Due to the Pakistani army's sneak attack on Chongguo, the Chong army who helped the Shu army got the news and did not report to the Shu army, so he picked up his pants and ran away.
As a result, there was a domino effect, the Shu army camp was unstable, and many small countries such as the Shu State, which was forcibly pulled into the war machine by the Shu State, left the table ahead of schedule under the pretext that the Ba people were going to sneak attack.
Even Du Jiameng, the younger brother of the king of Shu, the chief general of the Tho State, also left on the pretext that after the Ba people attacked the Chongguo, they would definitely attack the Tho State against the water.
Ba Dong'an, the fourth prince of Pakistan, and Ba Wuji, the general, were not in a hurry to march into the army, and they were waiting for such a situation to happen as soon as possible, and they could not lose the opportunity, so they ordered a general attack on the Shu army.
The Shu army was defeated, and the Pakistani army invaded Suining, present-day Sichuan.
The Shu army was defeated in a battle, and the lord of Shu would report urgently to the king of Shu and suggest peace.
Seeing the collapse of the alliance, Dushang, the king of Shu, would have no desire to fight, agreed to make peace, and was willing to return the gift given by Qin to Ba to show his sincerity, but in fact, he was admitting his mistake.
The strategic intention of Pakistani army commander Badongan has been achieved, and he is pushing the boat.
Both sides withdraw.
In order to reward the soldiers who participated in the battle, and at the same time show their "love" and "proximity to the people" to the samurai of various tribes, Padangan arrived at Dianjiang (now Hechuan) to inspect and comfort the soldiers who participated in the attack on the country.
Many samurai were thrilled to see the legendary Four Princes for the first time, a great man who might become their king.
Padon was as satisfied with the samurai's performance at this time as they were on the battlefield.
Gu Menglong also successfully completed the first "close contact" with the fourth prince Badong'an as the representative of the Hu'an Mountain clan, although he didn't feel so natural.
According to the wishes of the "hillbilly samurai", Padangan issued a special order: when the warriors passing through the capital city of Jiangzhou, they could go ashore and visit the capital, but they could only pass through the city in an organized manner and could not stay in the city.
This is undoubtedly a reward that does not cost a little money and is deeply appreciated by the hearts of the "hillbilly samurai".
The Danfushui warriors finally walked into Jiangzhou City with their heads held high, saw the most colorful world in Chongqing at that time, and forgot the pain for a while.
A few days later, the fourth prince, Padang Anshang, was intoxicated with the joy and pride of victory, and the envoy of the Tho Kingdom arrived, and he came to ask for an explanation for the perfidy of the Ba army, the "forcible borrowing" of the war boats of the Tho Kingdom, and the killing of the warriors of the Tho Kingdom.
This was a serious diplomatic incident, and Padang An met with the envoys of Tho on the orders of the king, summoned his son Ba Rui to find out the truth, and then asked, "What should I do?"
Ba Rui said: "Since I am at war with the Shu Kingdom, and the Tho Kingdom belongs to the Shu Kingdom, I can naturally beat him without saying hello." ”
"Of course, but you have an appointment with Hou Hou first. ”
This makes it even more puzzling. Tho is a vassal state of Shu, but he is secretly colluding with me, isn't he afraid that the king of Shu will find out?
"That being said, after all, one of his generals and quite a few people were killed, his boat was robbed, and one of his military camps was burned almost half. ”
"The Marquis of Tho agreed to the agreement with me, but it is only a hypocrisy, and it is reported that in the end, King Chong did not go to Tho to hide for many days. ”
"It's a trivial matter to lose some money, is there a better way?"
"It's better to give the batch of gifts from the Qin State that the people of Shu returned back to the State of Tho with great fanfare as compensation. ”
"Hahaha! Sow discord! That's it!"
At this time, neither Ba Dongan nor Ba Rui expected that five or six years later, Ba Rui, who was both wise and brave, was generally believed to be the best choice for the prince if Ba Dongan became the monarch in the future. Some people speculate that it was poisoned by his political enemies (some even hinted that it was bought by the eighth prince Ba Yuanan), and some people speculated that it was poisoned by the people of Chongguo, because King Chong has always regarded him as his biggest enemy. There was no evidence. - That's for later.
Hou Du Jiameng is not a fool, after listening to the messenger's report, he was secretly surprised, thought for a long time, and said: "That batch of gifts is too valuable, it is a burning red charcoal stone, I don't dare to accept it." That's it, just suffer a dumb loss. In the future, when there is a chance, sled him again. ”
So that batch of gifts was used as part of the cost of rewarding the warriors of Pakistan who participated in the war.
The warriors of the big tribe of Danfu Water Hu'an Mountain returned with honor, and the Hu'an Palace rewarded them greatly, doubling the favor for more than 50 people who died in battle.
Hu'an Mountain Master Wu Baichang looked at the kite, for his cousin Xiang Zhen (Hu'an Palace Zhongqing Xiangshan's second son) to pick up the wind and wash the dust, listen to Xiang Zhen tell the story of the war, first praised the performance of the Hu'an Mountain warriors this time, and then sighed: "Menglong, Tutian Ruler, Fan Xiaohu and others, even Mu Zhong's kid, have grown feathers stiff!"
His cousin, Mountain Master Wu Bai, said with a beautiful smile: "It's nothing, it's just luck, if I take a team of wanderers, Hugh said that the people of the country and the people of Chongguo are the tigers of Jiangzhou, and they will be ashamed." ”
The kite smiled bitterly: "Life, like a white horse passing through a gap, I'm afraid I don't have the opportunity to make such a miraculous feat!"
"Why should my brother sigh for not making a wedding dress?" said Xiang Mei.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Nothing, too much wine, just nonsense. Xiangmei smiled.
Hu'an Palace Huben Chu Wei (Chi Wu Fearless) because of his original errand in the sixth prince of the capital Ba Ping'an Mansion, did not participate in this war, at first very depressed, and later found that Sai Weng lost his horse, but he knew that it was not a blessing, and when everyone's attention in Hu'an Palace was shifted to the Bashu battlefield, it was a good opportunity for him to conduct a "special battle".
Just when he thought that the little slut (he privately defined it as such) of the Hu'an Palace maid Ruyi was about to rush into his arms, the samurai who went out triumphed, and the maid Ruyi's mind seemed to be transferred back to the "heroic son".
At this time, he had to admit that not all women like the lack of mouth with strong martial arts. Chu Wei has read countless women, but he thinks that the current one is the most wonderful one that can be touched by jumping up and feet, and it is worth changing the previous practice of "as long as quantity, not quality".
The celebration is still ongoing.
In this battle, the biggest harvest is the boat master Wu Baichang Tianqi, needless to say, the key is that Gongzi Menglong's attitude towards him is more affectionate than before, although it is not yet comparable to Fan Xiaohu, the son of the mountain master Wu Baichang, who has a close personal relationship.
The main plate of Sanmiao Village, Furong, heard that Tutian Ruler and others had made great contributions, and brought wine, fish, sheep, ducks, chickens, fruits, etc., to the Sanhekou Boat Division Camp to comfort the sailors and warriors who went out on the expedition.
In order to enliven the atmosphere, she also deliberately brought the "crazy woman" Second Sister Man, as well as more than a dozen women such as beauties Pan Ruilian and Pan Yue'er to perform singing and dancing and help with wine.
At the banquet that day, Pan Hibiscus was drunk, and showed his love to Tutian in public, so that Tutian didn't know how to answer, bowed his head and said nothing, and then pretended to be drunk and shrugged his head.
Pan Furong saw that he was drunk, and stepped forward to pull the left ear of the ruler and played: "Mother, I will be happy one day, and I will hug me back like a child!" - "Qi'er", Chongqing people use the most frequent nickname for their children, regardless of boys and girls, they are all called "Qi'er".
Everyone laughed.
At this time, Tu Tianqi raised his head and smiled at Pan Furong and said, "I'm a cheap person, I'm afraid you can't hold it." ”
Pan Furong stared at the Tiantian ruler, and before she could answer, the second sister smiled first: "What can't you hug? We women, hugging a man, and carrying a wooden couch, are still very relaxed and happy! Unlike you men, you don't carry a single piece of clothing, and you haven't rushed to a few ends, and you can't breathe!"
Everyone knew that Second Sister Man could say anything, and when she heard this "yellow" word, she burst into laughter.
Everyone rejoiced and got drunk.
