The words of the exhortation are full of words.

Seeing that Qin Wei was quite obedient, Wang Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

And then......

He finally spotted Pang Shiying in the lower position on the left......

Rao is old man has experienced a hundred battles, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his old face was a little red.

"The old man is gone, you have to be careful when you go out by yourself......"

……

The New Year's flavor of the Great Song Dynasty is very strong, and it is even more lively than in the former Han and Tang dynasties.

But this is limited to the Bianliang family, and the officials and people on Guangnan West Road are still living in a tense atmosphere, without a trace of joy for the New Year.

All the state capitals in the Great Song Dynasty have set up the post of transit envoys, and cooperate with the governors to jointly manage the jurisdiction of the prefecture.

As the border area of the Great Song Dynasty, Guangnan West Road also set up a special post of pacification envoy.

In order to stabilize the surrounding forces in the southwest.

The pacification envoy was about the same as the Jiedu envoy in the pre-Tang Dynasty, with the feudal officials, the military power, and the civil and military officials under his control.

Even the local governors and transit envoys had to obey the commands of the pacification envoys when they encountered major incidents.

In a word, on the one-third acre of land on Guangnan West Road, appeasing Xiao Ran is the emperor of the soil, and he can decide everything!

But at this moment, this supreme right made Xiao Ran a little numb.

The transfer made Song Wei say with a calm face: "Several tribes in Xiping Prefecture are a little ready to move, especially the coconut blue department, which has been expanding outward during this time, and is still recruiting troops and horses everywhere......"

Li Zhongchun, the governor of Guangxi Prefecture on the side, scolded: "Those coconut blue people are white-eyed wolves, and the grain and grass they transport every year are fucking fed to the dogs!" Before the Cochins could make a move, they began to respond first. ”

Commander Sang Lun asked cautiously, "Why don't you ...... Send troops to suppress? No matter how powerful those people are, they can't be as big as the imperial court, and they will be honest if they are suppressed once. ”

Xiao Ran glanced at him, and Sang Lun immediately stood with his hands tied.

Standing there with his head down, he didn't even dare to come out.

This is the power of the southwest pacification envoy, if he wants to move Sang Lun, then Sang Lun can only close his eyes and wait for death.

Here, Xiao Ran is the sky.

If the court really wants to get him, it has to be gentle and light, otherwise a bad southwest will rebel.

Xiao Ran has been operating in the southwest for many years, he may not have the strength, but he will never have the courage to fight.

He released a little bit of majesty, and the few people around him stopped complaining.

Xiao Ran retracted his gaze with satisfaction and said: "The old man's report has long gone, but the decision of the DPRK and China is estimated to be delayed, after all, this is the southwest, and the ministers of the DPRK and China must be thinking carefully...... The ambitions of those wolf sons of the coconut blue departments are not a day or two, send people to watch, but if there is any change, report it immediately! ”

Sang Lun didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and promised loudly.

Here he was the lowest, and after receiving the order, he went out to make arrangements.

Without the presence of subordinates, the three of them are a little more relaxed, there is no need to deliberately mention majesty, everyone is just free.

Li Zhongchun also asked someone to bring wine, and everyone sat down to drink slowly.

"Good wine! This is the liquor from Bianliang, I heard that it is not cheap, and we can be regarded as stained with Brother Li's light. ”

Xiao Ran put down the teacup and said with a satisfied face: "After Li Rizun came up, the Jiaozhi people frequently crossed the border to loot, and they were insatiable. Nowadays, almost every day, you can hear the news of the Jiaozhi people crossing the border, which shows that they are unscrupulous. ”

"Yes! In recent years, the center of gravity of the Great Song Dynasty has been in the north, so these Jiaozhi people are fluttering, and they feel that they have nothing to fear......"

Song Wei said in a tangled manner: "Song Shiyao said that you should be careful of the raids of the Jiaozhi people, and it is best to send scouts to Jiaozhi to investigate. ”

"I'm afraid there will be no return."

Xiao Ran muttered: "There is a miasma over there, and the poisonous gas spreads in the mountains and forests, and only the people of Jiaozhi can know where the safe area is. Even if the scouts go, they may not be able to find anything useful, and they may even lose their lives in vain. ”

Li Zhongchun frowned and said: "Now the coconut blue clan in Xiping Prefecture is the most difficult problem, and their trouble is the most important, so let's deal with it first." ”

"These people are thieves!"

Xiao Ran was also a little angry, and immediately gathered everyone to discuss the matter, and then decisively said: "Jiaozhi doesn't care first, but the coconut blue departments must be suppressed!" Capture the troubled tribal leaders and escort them to Bianliang! ”

The order was issued, and Sang Lun and others began to reorganize their arms for war.

It's just that most of the sergeants on this side of Quang Nam West Road are lazy, and they haven't experienced any major battles, and they haven't even fought a decent battle.

So when they reorganized the army, everyone didn't have much confidence in this operation.

On Xuanhua City, the shouts of killing outside were deafening.

Sang Lun stood behind Xiao Ran, his eyes filled with melancholy.

Song Zhongchun had a good impression of him, and felt that this was an obedient and honest martial artist, so he smiled and said, "But what do you have to say?" The appeasement envoy is here, as far as he can say. ”

Sang Lun was flattered and saluted, before he said: "My lord, the strength of the coconut blue clan in Xiping Prefecture is not strong, but they dare to confront our army head-on, they must have confidence...... The lower officials are afraid that they have already allied with the Jiaozhi people, if so...... This battle may not go well. ”

Sang Lun tried his best to speak tactfully, but the worry in his heart was even stronger.

No one knows the combat power of the Song army better than him, the commander of the capital.

If it was just some natives of the coconut blue tribe, the Song army could abuse them, but once Jiaozhi was involved, I am afraid that it is really difficult to say whether this battle will be won or lost.

Xiao Ran shook his head and said coldly: "If you don't learn, you can't do anything!" ”

Sang Lun immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Xiao Ran turned around and looked at him and said, "These poor people are about to sell their wives, what can Jiaozhi give them?" Just give me some money and food...... But when did the Great Song Dynasty not give money and food? And the Great Song Dynasty has a lot of tenderness for them, but the Jiaozhi people are not necessarily. As long as he is not stupid, he will naturally not collude with the Jiaozhi people. ”

In his opinion, as long as the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to suppress it, the scared coconut blue people would obediently admit their mistakes.

After all, Da Song is not only the eldest brother, but also the most heroic father of these natives.

Sang Lun can only be called yes, but he always feels uneasy in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are three horsemen from the east! They are galloping towards Xuanhua City! ”

Someone in the city was shouting, this is a long-lost battle formation, and everyone is not used to the war, so they will panic.

Xiao Ran was quite stable, looked at the three riders from afar, and said, "What are you panicking about?" Call someone to answer it. ”

Later the three were brought up.

"What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Ran's body was a little stiff, and his face was full of wood.

To say that you don't worry is to lie to you.

Although Xiao Ran does not lead troops to fight, he has been in the southwest for so many years, and he knows too well the temperament of those natives, who have never behaved in a safe manner.

"Qi Yu appeases the envoy, Xiping Prefecture coconut blue department is coming!"

That's it......

In an instant, Xiao Ran's body relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "How many people?" ”

"More than thirty people."

"It's so good, let people clean up the wine and food, let them eat a good meal, and then tell them that they must be obedient in the future, otherwise they will lose their lives if they don't say it is wine and food."

There was a hint of pride in his words.

Everything in the Great Song Dynasty is a model for high-end people in the southwest, even Bianliang, which is thousands of miles away, has also transmitted the technology of stir-frying to this kind of frontier place.

Later, more than thirty horsemen appeared, and they quickly approached Xuanhua City, because the big war was about to start, so these people came to surrender, Xiao Ran was very happy, and forgot to search his body.

Sang Lun said with envy: "Although those horses are not very good, they can run anyway!" ”

The rich coconut blue clan will spend money to buy horses, and then they will have a cavalry advantage in the battle for territory, which even the Great Song army is a little envious.

After all, with the imperial court's vigilance of warriors, let alone buying horses for the southwest army, the existing cavalry is only 3,000.

The more than 30 horsemen of the coconut blue department soon entered the city.

Sang Lun immediately sent soldiers to monitor them around.

It wasn't until these people obediently dismounted that they relaxed.

The coconut blue natives led by him hurriedly knelt down and said a lot in a hurry.

Everyone who was babbling didn't understand a word.

Xiao Ran took the interpreter and went down to the city in person.

Da Song has been provoked by others over the years, and it is really rare for him to surrender.

This is more or less a political achievement, and it is not a hard-won achievement.

Xiao Ran listened to the words of the interpreter around him, but he was thinking about how to write a song to report this matter later.

Is it an exaggeration or a little more subtle......

"Pacifying envoy, this person said that they were fighting for territory with the surrounding tribes before, and then they were in a hurry, so they offended the Great Song Dynasty, not because they wanted to rebel, but just wanted some food and grass supplies, so that they could defeat the other tribe.

The southwest is the same as the northwest.

Those tribal forces fought all day long for those melons and dates.

Human brains are beaten into dog brains.

The coconut blue people are considered to be the most powerful among the local aborigines, so they are naturally unwilling to share resources with the surrounding tribes.

Besides, this place is already barren, and one bag of grain can exchange two lives!

So this explanation is very convincing.

Xiao Ran's complexion also eased a lot.

"But this time they are over, and they want to reprimand!"

The interpreter immediately changed to a cold and angry face, and said a few barbarian words loudly.

The coconut blue man who was the leader also muttered a few words, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, obviously afraid.

The interpreter then translated: "They said that this time they came to surrender...... No, they are here to ask for help, and they want to ask my Great Song Dynasty to call the shots, help negotiate peace with the surrounding tribes, and get the lost territory back. ”

Xiao Ran's heart was relieved, and he smiled: "This thing is not easy to operate...... The Great Song Dynasty and these tribes have always had well water that does not interfere with river water, and the matter between them can be solved internally, and we are not good at interfering, as for the food ......"

After hearing this, the surrounding sergeants also breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone felt that this battle might not be fought.

Isn't it just some food, Da Song doesn't lack that, so it should be coaxed to play with children, as long as they don't make trouble, everyone is still each other's angels.

The sergeants are used to being comfortable, and it is bitter cold in the southwest, and it is not easy to live a mixed life.

And right now!

The coconut blue man who originally kowtowed and begged for mercy suddenly reached out and touched it in his arms.

The whole person bounced up suddenly, and slammed into Xiao Ran in front of him, and the short knife flashed cold light and stabbed his heart.

Xiao Ran didn't have time to react at all, he only felt a tremor all over his body, and his body stiffened.

He doesn't have much experience on the battlefield, and he is long out of inches by now.

Most of the people present did not react, and even if someone was alert, it was too late.

At this moment, they know the purpose of these coconut blue people, their surrender is fake, and the assassination is real!

Once they succeed in assassinating Xiao Ran, Guangnan West Road will be a mess, and it will be much easier to take advantage of the fire to loot at that time.

Just when everyone sentenced Xiao Ran to death, a figure pounced from behind!

"Drink!"

The person who pounced was Sang Lun.

He had no time to draw his sword, so he could only pounce on it with his body, trying to block the fatal blow with his body.

The coconut blue people didn't expect that there would be people who would fight to the death to savior.

But he didn't have time to change direction, and the two fell together in the blink of an eye.

The short knife stepped forward diagonally and stabbed into Sanlun's left shoulder.

Xiao Ran was also hit by this strong force and took a few steps back, which showed that the coconut blue man used all his strength.

At this time, the surrounding sergeants also rushed up and surrounded Xiao Ran, Song Zhongchun supported Sang Lun, and roared with a pale face.

"Kill him!"

But the more than 30 people did not escape, but fought with all their might.

There are more than 300 Song troops here, and there are bows and arrows, and the impact of these natives can be called suicide.

But under the impact of their fate, this group of coconut blue people broke through the siege of the Song army, and three people took the opportunity to rush out of Xuanhua City.

The three of them were gone, leaving only a burst of laughter.

Xiao Ran had already come back to his senses, at this moment he had long forgotten the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, his face was hard to see, and he said angrily: "Come and find Lang Zhong, if General Sang has any mistakes, everyone present will be guilty!" ”

He ignored the fierce look on his face and said fiercely.

He rushed to the head of the city regardless of his image, panting and looking at the three horsemen who were moving away.

"Pacifier, do you want to pursue?"

Li Zhongchun was also annoyed.

This is Xuanhua City, which is nominally his territory.

But right here, the leader of the southwest region was almost killed, fortunately it was a false alarm, otherwise he would not have escaped.

Xiao Ran also knew that he couldn't complain about Li Zhongchun about this, so he endured his anger and said: "Forget it, who knows if there will be anyone outside to answer after these people escape, if there is an ambush again, it will be miserable, order the scouts to go out of the city to spy and then ......"

The two of them were discussing strategy at the head of the city, when they heard a shout.

"Oh no, there are cavalry again!"

The cavalry was found at the head of the city again, and everyone subconsciously thought that the coconut blue people were leading their troops to make a comeback!

Xiao Ran looked at the front coldly and said, "It seems that the old man expected it to be good, be on guard, the whole city is on alert!" ”

As the order was delivered, the armies began to assemble and march to the city.

"No...... right"

Song Zhongchun squinted and looked ahead, and suddenly said, "Those three people look a little familiar!" ”

Xiao Ran also tiptoed to look into the distance, and waited for the three of them to get closer before he was stunned and said, "These are the three coconut blue people who escaped...... How did they come back? ”

"Is this trying to show off your martial arts?"

"It's too arrogant, it's just a group of natives, how dare they!"

Showing off is the most insulting act for a party's forces.

Generally, it is the strong side, which is used to combat the momentum of the weak side.
