"Childe, someone is here in Shicheng!" said Ezhuo embarrassedly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ba Ping'an was disappointed, but he was also taken aback in his heart: "Please let him in!"

An urgent messenger from Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince stationed in the Shicheng military camp, arrived to report the latest military situation.

Ba Ping'an's face was expressionless, and he listened to the report of the visitor on the situation that happened in front of Xiaoguan.

As early as Ba Ping'an received the news that the phoenix bird flew to Danfushui, the doctor Zheng Huan and others expected that Jiangzhou would let Ba Ping'an enter Hu'an Mountain to worship.

The generals Ba Xiu and others proposed to prevent the Chu army from taking advantage of the catastrophic drought in Danfushui and the three major tribes holding a grand event of worshipping phoenix birds and worshipping the god of flowers in Hu'an Mountain, to sneak attack Xiaoguan and force into Yushui.

Therefore, with the consent of Jiangzhou, more than two months ago, the elite warriors from Pingdu, Zongdu and other places, plus most of the warriors of the communist clan and Yuhou, were secretly mobilized to concentrate near the military town of Shicheng.

Because it was a secret transfer, no one in the Hu'an Mountain tribe knew about it, except for the father and son of Uncle Gu, Zhongqing Xiangshan, and the chief generals of the two divisions of Mountain and Water.

The famous general Ba Xiu was ordered to secretly go to Shicheng to assist Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince, in dealing with possible emergencies.

Also at the beginning of this year, the general of Ba Guo Xiang Yong who was stationed in the capital of Pakistan died of illness, and was strongly recommended by the general of Ba Wuji, of course, Ba Ping'an did not object (although Ba Xiu is not a henchman like Eren in Ba Ping'an's camp, but his military talent is what Ba Ping'an needs most), the lord of Ba has appointed Ba Xiu as the lieutenant general of Ba Guo (General Zongdu), and he will be in charge of military affairs in the area of Zongdi and Danfushui.

The eighth prince Ba Yuan knows with peace of mind, and Ba Xiu is called an assistant, but in fact, he represents Ba Ping'an, the coach of the capital of the capital.

As soon as Ba Xiu arrived in Shicheng, he heard a report on the incomplete military situation of the Yicheng Chu army that the spies sent out earlier had returned:

Some of the first-line defenders of Yicheng led by Zhao Yun and Douying of the Chu army advocated taking the opportunity to sneak attack Xiaoguan of Ba State, take Shicheng, and even Yushui Salt Spring. But the Lord will raise Ming, but he has his own judgment.

Yang Ming believes that:

First, there are also varying degrees of drought in the Yishui Basin, and the first priority at present should be to lead the military and civilians to fight the disaster;

Second, the people who fled the famine in Baguo, Yelang and other places caused by the disaster in the Danfu River Basin have caused a certain degree of order and chaos in Yicheng and its surrounding areas, and stability should be the priority;

Third, even if they take the opportunity to break through the dangerous passes of Pakistan and even obtain the Yushui Salt Spring, the belligerent Pakistanis will never be convinced, and it will be extremely difficult to continue to occupy them;

Fourth, Pakistan is holding a major ceremony that has attracted national attention in Hu'an Mountain, and in the hearts of the stubborn and stupid Pakistani people, anyone who offends him at this time is undoubtedly the greatest provocation, which will arouse unprecedented anger and unprecedented fighting spirit in the whole country.

Fifth, the current domestic and foreign situation of Chu is not conducive to launching a new round of attacks on Pakistan in the short term (this point, in Yangming's view, is more acceptable to most Chu generals).

Other generals may not be able to understand everything, but Zhuang Fu, a confidant of Yangming and a general from a famous family, can see it clearly.

As a descendant of the Chu royal family, Zhuang Fu knew some more important things that other generals did not necessarily know:

Hearing that the Qin State set out to recover the land west of the Hexi that was seized by the Wei State, and used the threat of Han and Wei to King Zhou Tianzi Xian as an excuse to raise troops to defeat the Han and Wei armies, the international status of the Qin State was significantly improved, and he began to participate in the affairs of the Central Plains again.

In addition, "expansion must first be settled", King Chu Xuan needs to deal with thorny issues such as clan disputes in the country first, and does not want to rush to war against Pakistan, but he can't say everything to his subordinates, and he doesn't want to leave the impression of "cowardice" to his courtiers.

In the view of Zhuang Fu, who understands both politics and strategy, Yang Ming kills two birds with one stone: he also has his own considerations, thinking that the decisive time for the battle of Bachu Yushui and Salt Spring has not come; at the same time, he also understands the mind of King Chu Xuan, and caters to the thoughts of King Chu Xuan, or rather, Yang Ming and King Chu Xuan have reached a tacit understanding, so he found out the above reasons that are neither unreasonable nor very reasonable to convince the generals, or prevaricate.

Ba Xiu learned the latest information of the Chu army, which was not comprehensive, but valuable, and through analysis, he believed that the information that Yang Ming, the lord of the Chu army, did not necessarily want to use troops at this time, was reliable; at the same time, Yang Ming could not completely decide the beginning and end of the war, and if the king of Chu gave an order, he must attack immediately.

Ba Xiu also believes that for Pakistan, if there is a war during the great event held in Hu'an Mountain, it will be difficult to cope with it and extremely unlucky (this point, in the eyes of the Pakistanis, is even more important), and for the time being, it is better to maintain the status quo on the Xiaoguan front.

Ba Yuanan, the eighth prince, fully agreed with Ba Xiu's opinion.

Not only that, Ba Yuan also has a small abacus in Anxin: at this time, the second brother Ba Ping'an is presiding over a major ceremony in Hu'an Mountain on behalf of the lord of Ba (Ba Gong's office), if Ba Chu has a war in the direction of Yicheng-Xiaoguan, once he loses, all the responsibility will be borne by himself.

Therefore, although he wants to make achievements all the time, at this moment, the most important thing is to remain calm.

Ba Yuanan and Ba Xiu are not exactly the same in mind, they have the same goal, and they hit it off:

On the one hand, actively prepare for the battle;

On the other hand, at Ba Xiu's suggestion, Ba Yuan'an agreed to make his neighbor Yelang use salt and silk products (Yelang's silk products could not be compared with Bashu at that time), etc., so that the arrogant Yelang Hou would make a little trouble for Chu Jun first.

Of course, this time they sent someone to Yelang, and Ba Xiu and Ba Yuanan also had a more long-term consideration: they intended to restore the relationship with Yelang that was severed after the death of their second son, Ba Yuan'an.

As a result, Bagui, a pedestrian from the Yuhou Department, was ordered to urgently send an envoy to Yelang Country as the sixth son of Ba Guo and the commander of the camp of the capital of Ba Ping'an.

Yelang is an important neighbor of Pakistan, and between the two countries, the land is intertwined and the ethnic relations are complicated, but the exchanges between the two countries are not close, let alone an alliance.

Bagui was ordered to be in danger, and he knew in his heart that he was going to Yelang almost temporarily, and his future was uncertain - of course, he didn't know what a "Buddha" was.

Let's talk about Yoro.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Qiqi state in the southwest, and many other small neighboring states such as Jilan were mostly under its control; at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the great power of Qiqi went into decline, and the Nanyue State occupied a large part of its territory in the central and southern parts of the country by force. A group of Pu people in the upper reaches of the Qiqi River rose up, captured the main territory of the Qiqi Kingdom, and established the Yelang Kingdom.

Yelang is one of the three most mysterious ancient kingdoms in Chinese history.

Nowadays, the ancient country of Loulan has disappeared into the desert, and the ancient country of Dali has become a famous tourist destination, while the ancient country of Yelang is the most embarrassing, leaving only the idiom of "Yelang is arrogant".

In fact, back then, the first to ask the envoy of the Han Dynasty "Which one is bigger than the Han Dynasty and our country" was the King of Dian.

Later, the same team of Han envoys arrived at Yelang, and Yelanghou asked the same interesting question that has been passed down through the ages.

said that Yelang was arrogant, but in fact, he was a little wronged.

Around the Warring States period, Yelang was already a minority monarch in the southwest. "Historical Records: The Biography of Southwest Yilie" said: "The Southwest Yijun is the longest, and Yelang is the largest. (Of course, by the time of the Han Dynasty, the country of Ba had been destroyed, and part of Ba had become the land of Yelang).

During the Han Dynasty, Tang Meng wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and wanted to borrow 100,000 elite soldiers from Yelang to attack South Vietnam. Just imagine, with the strength of 100,000 troops, can't you be "arrogant" a little?

Yelang's geographical location is a public case.

"Historical Records" said: "Yelang, Linqi River, the river is more than 100 steps, enough to sail", but which river is the current Qiqi River, there are many controversies, some say it is the Wujiang River, some say it is the Moon River of six branches, and there are other theories.

As a result, it triggered a "big war" for Yelang's hometown (especially the national capital) today, and Tongzi (Yelang Town, the Bamboo King City of Yelang's former capital), Changshun (Guangshun Town), Liuzhi (Maokou), Anshun, Zhenning, Guanling, Zhenfeng, Guiyang, Shiqian, Huangping, Sinan, Tongren and Xuanwei, Zhanyi, Qujing and other counties and cities in Yunnan Province, as well as Yuanling, Mayang, Xinhuang and other places in Hunan, all claim to be the central area of Yelang Kingdom. I don't worry about being perceived as "Yoro arrogant" by others.

As a result, some scholars have found a unique way to believe that Yelang Tuyi is in a process of constant change, and there is no fixed location. Its area has changed with the changes of the times, and the Yuanshui Basin, Wujiang River Basin, and Beipan River Basin were all areas where the Yelang people were active. This case is not discussed in this book.

Yelang's hometown, with a long history of humanities, is the most complete area of China's rice farming, drum tower, Wuwu culture, thousands of years ago to continue to the present day, "bamboo worship", "ox totem" and bullfighting, dog fighting and other unique ethnic customs, constitute a rich connotation, confusing Yelang culture.

Without further ado, the book gets back to business.

Ba Gui, the special envoy of Ba Ping'an, the sixth prince of Pakistan, and his entourage, with gifts such as salt, silk, gold and silver, crossed the Lou Pass (Loushan Pass) and other dangerous passes, and headed for the destination.

The deeper he went into Yelang's territory, Baguyu saw that although the area was also affected by drought, it was evident that it was much less severe than that of the Hu'anshan tribes.

Along the way, through a number of tribes with different customs, a lot of gifts, and Baguay instigated a three-inch incorruptible tongue, to arrive at a mysterious country that has "disappeared more completely" than "Yoro" in history.
