Chapter 85: Where is the sacred?
As the hardest teeth of the blue wolf battalion, the soldiers of the wolf teeth have always been proud of their combat effectiveness far beyond their colleagues, but just as Gao Shi and Zhao Yong were talking, they were unknowingly surrounded by a group of unknown weapons.
Dozens of wolf-tooth soldiers spontaneously and quickly formed a circle without waiting for orders, although some soldiers also carried small round shields, but in the face of hundreds of bows to no avail.
"I don't know which hero is on the other side, below is the Xia Army of the East China Sea, His Majesty Emperor Dachen should come to Jian'an to eliminate the 'chaos', if there is any misunderstanding, I hope to forgive me!" The high type is also able to bend and stretch, and the posture is relatively low.
At this time, there was a burst of "thick tiles and melons" on the opposite side, which sounded like the language of the slang people in the Lingnan region.
Because the power of the slang people in the south is still very strong, since Hou Jingzhi's 'rebellion', Xiao Liang's control over the south has been greatly reduced, and the slang tribes in the Guangnan area have attacked each other, looting people as slaves, and it is very 'mixed'.
After Chen Baxian replaced Xiao Liang, even Yuzhang County and Huiji County, which were all within easy reach, were not pacified, let alone in the more remote Lingnan land at that time.
The Chen Dynasty could not control Lingnan, so these slang tribes thought that the imperial court was beyond the reach of the whip, and they did not obey the management of the Chen Dynasty.
There are at least a thousand of these slang people surrounding him in front of him, and when he surrounds him, these 'elite' soldiers on his side can't even find it, which shows that these slang people are also rare 'elite' sharp.
If these slangs want to capture themselves alive, then they would rather die in battle! Gao Shi thought silently in his heart, clutching his saber tightly in his hand.
After saying a few words, the slang man on the opposite side did not react and no longer made a sound, but the thousands of slang soldiers still surrounded Gao Shi and the others, and did not attack.
After about a quarter of an hour, another voice came from the other side: "You said that you were the Xia army of the East China Sea who came to Jian'an to quell the rebellion at the invitation of His Majesty Emperor Chen, then why did you kill the disciples of Futu for no reason?" ”
Hearing that the official dialect of Nanchen that could be understood on the other side was comprehensible, Gao Shina was surprised and delighted, although the official dialect spoken by that person was still a little weird, but he was still able to communicate.
Sometimes, conflicts and even wars between different tribes and countries are due to language barriers, which affects communication and understanding between the two sides.
Hearing the other party's question, he said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, today my Xiahou was assassinated for no reason, and after tracking these monks are the instigators behind the assassination, they are arrested and brought to justice in order to receive justice. ”
At this time, the superintendent of the courtyard heard the words on the other side and said loudly: "I am Huide, the superintendent of the Jinxian Academy, and the hero on the other side is the person of Yuzhang Xiong Taishou or the person of Linchuan Zhou Taishou, ······ Woohoo..."
The monk named Huide was covered by the soldiers next to him before he finished speaking, and let out an unwilling whining.
The slang man on the opposite side was silent and didn't speak for a long time, Gao Shi and Huide on the ground were holding their breath, waiting for the reply from the other side, and their hearts were pounding.
"Huh? You are a monk of the Golden Immortal Academy, but you have a connection with the Linchuan Taishou Zhou Di and Yuzhang Taishou Xiong Tanlang, which is not ordinary! The man on the other side finally spoke.
Hui De heard the words of the man opposite and was 'agitated', he had heard more than ten days ago that Hou Bao had invited the two to send an army to Jian'an to jointly march north to cooperate with Wang Lin's offensive.
Zhou Di of Linchuan and Xiong Tanlang of Yuzhang, as well as Liuyi of Dongyang (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) and Hou Baoying of Jian'an, who had been jointly destroyed by Wang Ze and Han Zigao, were all some large local wealthy families who seized the place and took refuge in Wang Lin at that time.
This time, Wang Lin's army marched eastward along the river, and the powerful people who depended on Wang Lin responded one after another, among which Zhou Di and Xiong Tanlang jointly went north to cooperate with Wang Lin to attack Poyang and other places.
Dongyang's Liuyi was united with Hou Baoying of Jian'an, first attacking Yongjia County, and then jointly going north to attack Linhai and Huiji.
Although these counties did not return to Shun, neither to the Chen Dynasty nor to Wang Lin, most of them were occupied by some small forces, and a few people also had the idea of annexing these places to expand their power.
Zhou Di and Xiong Tanlang agreed to Hou Baoying's request because they were stronger, and sent an army to Jian'an to support Hou Baoying.
If this group of people is an army sent by Zhou and Xiong, then they can be rescued, just when Huide thought about this.
I only heard the person on the other side continue: "That Linchuan Taishou Zhou Di and Yuzhang Taishou Xiong Tanlang don't want to serve the imperial court, but they take refuge in Wang Lin's Northern Zhou lackeys and resist the Dachen official army, I'm afraid you are not a good person if you collude with these two people!" ”
The plot in front of him was high and the tide was undulating, and Gao Shi only felt that he was like when he encountered a strong wind and 'waves' on the sea surface of Jian'an on Gu Bin's ship before, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.
Knowing that the slang in front of him and Huide were not on the same side, Gao Shi was slightly relieved, but he still did not let the soldiers relax their vigilance, who knows if this person deliberately paralyzed himself.
The man on the other side probably knew what Takashi was thinking, so he stepped forward and came to the front of the line of slang soldiers.
It turned out to be a slang man about forty years old, about seven feet five inches tall, that is, more than one meter seven in later generations, and he can be regarded as burly among this slang.
He was barefoot with no shoes on his feet, and his hair was tied into a bun, which was different from the slang soldiers around him who only had short hair.
In February, there was still a bit of coolness in the Wuyi Mountains, but the big man was only wearing a short shirt, and the 'exposed' arm was tattooed with the pattern of a snake or a dragon, and the other arm was tattooed with a wind pattern.
Holding a halberd in his hand, the iron wood with the thickness of his arm is used as the rod of the halberd, and it weighs dozens of catties, but this strong man is like a straw in his hand.
The strong man said loudly to Gao Shi: "You said that you were invited by Emperor Da Chen from the East China Sea to help suppress the Jian'an place?" Is there proof of this? ”
I think this big man should be the leader of this group of slang people, but the slang people have always lived in the land of Lingnan, and I don't know why they suddenly appeared in Jian'an County, Fujian.
Thinking of this, Gao Shi smiled and said to the slang strong man: "This leader, in the lower Gao Shi, is a part of the blue wolf battalion under Cao An, the general of the Xiahou Department of the East China Sea, and there is a waist card for the letter!" As he spoke, he handed over the waist card.
A soldier immediately walked out of the strong man's side and took the high-style waist card, and then handed it to the strong man for inspection, the big man held only three inches in size, with copper die-casting pattern 'fine' beautiful waist card, took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and then threw the waist card back to the high style.
He said: "I can't understand your Han characters, but the patterns on this are different from all the patterns of the Jiangnan forces I have seen, and the waist cards they make are not so 'fine', I think what you said should be true, since you are the army invited by Emperor Da Chen, then you are friendly with us!" ”
Now that he had clearly identified that the other party was a friendly army, Gao Shi's heart was also relaxed, and he smiled and said to the strong man: "Since this leader is a friendly army with us, why don't you go down the mountain with me by night!" The trail down from here is fairly smooth. ”
The slang man waved his hand and said, "I'm not the leader, I'm just my wife's groom!" You don't have to go down the mountain, anyway, you can't enter the outside of Jian'an City at night, and you Han people don't open the 'gate' after the city 'gate' is closed at night, and I also know this. ”
At this time, a slang soldier came to the strong man from behind and whispered a few words, and the strong man's face changed a few times, so he said to Gao Shi with a smile on his face: "What is this general's surname?" I don't know what to call it yet! ”
Tall style: "······"
Zhao Yong stood beside Gao Shi, and said in his heart, "You didn't listen well when your sister was emotional, and when my team reported the source, did you!" But now that you have fewer people on your side, there are more people on the other side, and it's not easy to attack if you're a friendly army.
"In the next surname Gao Ming, it is the rate of the blue wolf battalion under the command of Xiahou of the East China Sea!" Gao Shi still patiently said "sex" again.
"Oh, oh, it's a high team rate, everyone in our tribe calls me Ah Niu, you can also call me Ah Niu. My master is in the back, and just now my master heard about you and wanted to meet you! The slang man Ah Niu said with a smile on his face.
If Wang Ze is here, he can take a good look at where this Brother Niu is sacred, could it be Zeng Aniu. However, when Gao Shi heard the strong man's words, the suspicion in his heart weakened.
The strong man just said that he was not the leader of these slang people, Gao Shi was still a little suspicious, and now that there is another master on the other side, it seems that the big man should not lie to himself, and there is no need to deceive himself for the sword warrior at the moment, but the strong man said that he is his wife's groom, which is a bit nonsense.
Since the master of the family sent someone to solemnly invite him and there was no malice, Gao Shi decided to immediately go with the strong man to see what kind of people could have such a group of 'elite' soldiers, and it was only right to figure out their intentions.
After all, it turned out that the slang people only lived in a large area of Guangnan in Lingnan, and now that such a group of slang and 'elite' soldiers who were more 'proficient' than themselves in fighting in the mountains and forests suddenly appeared in Jian'an County, it was best to understand the other party's intentions as soon as possible.
Without waiting for the strong man to say anything, Gao Shi first untied all the weapons in his body, and even took out a few flying knives on both sides of his leather boots and handed them over to Zhao Yong for temporary safekeeping.
The group of slang soldiers who had originally surrounded him and the others would remove the encirclement and gather to one side, and when Gao Shi passed by, he saw that these soldiers were all about twenty or thirty years old, and they were very well-proportioned, basically half a head shorter than the forty-year-old strong man named Ah Niu.
To say that the slang people, Liao people and other indigenous people in Lingnan have been disobedient to the royal law for thousands of years, and their 'sex' is loose, they are good at singing and dancing, and they are happy and 'private' fighting, once the number of people increases, it will inevitably be noisy and lively.
The thousands of slang soldiers gathered together in front of him didn't even speak, quietly wiping their weapons and being unusually quiet, which showed that the owners of these soldiers were unusual.
Further into a small valley, the slang people in it are walking around, but they are also very vigilant, but some people chew some strange things in their mouths, and in the light of the torches, the corners of their mouths are stained red with some liquid, which is a little scary.
If Wang Ze saw it, he would definitely tell Gao Shi that this is a kind of betel nut produced in Gaoliang County in the South China Sea.
Although Gao Shi was worried in his heart, his face was still silent, and he strode forward with Ah Niu, who kept talking all the way, chattering all the way.
While talking to Gao Shi, he also greeted the soldiers on the side of the road with slang words from time to time, and it could be seen that this big man was very popular.
After walking for about five or six miles, I went around a bend, and in front of me was a gentle flat land from the alluvial river of the river, and a dozen large tents were set up, and there were many slang soldiers around the fires.
Snakes caught in the mountains, pot lids (a kind of large lizard), pheasants, and even some wild deer and a bison were roasted on the charcoal next to the fire, and the fat from the meat was dripped on the charcoal fire below, and the flames were rising, and the breeze blew through the smell of 'tempting'.
Gao Shi realized that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and his stomach involuntarily made a rumbling sound, and his face was slightly red.
Ah Niu smiled and said: "These are all caught by the children in our tribe today, and I will take you to eat a good meal when I see my master!" ”
As he spoke, he walked towards a large tent in the middle with Gao Shi.
The big tent in front of me seems to be made of cowhide, without any decoration inlaid with gold and silver, it looks very simple but very 'fine'.
Outside the tent, more than 20 slang young soldiers stood outside, and by the 'door' were two slang 'women', also dressed in military uniforms, with weapons around their waists.
Ah Niu in front of him said a few words, and went in in a flash, Gao Shi had to wait outside for the time being, but I didn't know who the slang leader who was about to see was sacred?
