Zhang Bao led the deputy general Wang Ping and the military division Ma Tan, starting from Chengdu, all the way through Ruoxian, Mianzhu, Zitong, and passing through Pujia Pass, which was a rapid march, and it was also more than a month later, and then it arrived in Langzhong.

It's already the height of summer.

Most of Badi is still a wild place, there are not many people, full of miasma, even if the army is equipped with military doctors, but in the process of marching, there are still a few soldiers who are seriously ill and die.

The reason why the barbarian land is a barbarian land is that when the Han people arrived in these places, they were directly unaccustomed to the water and soil.

There is attrition on the march, let alone fighting.

"Ahead is Langzhong."

Zhang Bao pointed the spear in his hand, and a city in front of him, like a giant beast hibernating, stood quietly in front of everyone.

Langzhong City, an important town.

Its walls are tall, strict and orderly, and on each lookout, there are several ironclad soldiers stationed with firm and fearless eyes.

In front of the city gate, there is the Langshui flow of the Jialing River water system, which is in the middle of summer, and the water is menacing.

The clear river water is mixed with a little yellow mud, and the waves hit and the boats shake, only to know that the water is fierce.

On both sides of Langshui, there is a rare plain, with thousands of fields, growing towards the sun, and lush crops adding a wisp of life to the bright red of the city wall.

The buildings in the city are slaughtered, the main body of the houses is solid and heavy, the transparent bamboo windows are raised high, and the pale red wall skin is dyed by the morning light, which is particularly bright.

There are also a few bamboo pillars at the entrance of the alley, on which the torches are burning all the time, and the bursts of smoke emitted add a bit of exotic atmosphere.

Zhang Bao Wang Ping Ma Tan drove his horse forward, crossed the suspension bridge, and met Zhang Fei's general.

"Lang Jun, the prince is already waiting in the city."

Zhang Fei is guarding in Langzhong, and this time the vanguard will still be Zhang Bao.

It is appropriate for the father and son to teach face-to-face, and the situation of this Badi is easier to open.

Zhang Bao jumped down from the war horse, arched his hand at Zhang Fei's deputy general Zhang Da, and said, "General Zhang, please!" ”

Zhang Da smiled, saluted Zhang Bao, and said, "Everyone, please!" ”

This Zhang Da was one of the two generals who killed Zhang Fei in the future, and now he is smiling, and he respects Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao, not at all like he will steal and kill Zhang Fei in the future.

But perhaps.

That's people.

The spur of the moment can lead to a big mistake.

The vanguard army camped outside the city.

Zhang Bao and the others followed you into the city.

Most of the people in the city were professional soldiers, and in addition to the soldiers, there were more caravans.

Among these caravans, there were those who sold all kinds of things in the merchant alliance, and there were also slave hunters.

Or so to speak.

Before entering Badi, they were caravans, but after entering Badi, they were slave catchers.

Now the price of slaves in Chengdu is too high, and when they knew that Liu Chan was going west to conquer Brazil, many nobles who had already made money in Nanzhong formed several slave hunting teams and put them in Badi.

It was Zhang Fei, the general of the chariot cavalry, who also privately organized five slave capture teams.

No way.

This money is not earned in vain.

What's more, earning such money is still conducive to the army to pass through Badi.

The merchant alliance went to capture slaves, passed along the road, and had a clear understanding of the local tribes, folk customs, roads and other aspects.

After this clear understanding, passing on the news is more conducive to the follow-up of the follow-up army.

For the sake of huge profits, the slave catching team went through all the pits, just like when the colonists of later generations passed through a place, they all used missionaries to preach first, and after laying a certain foundation, they sent a large army over.

These two are similar.

Langzhong.

Xixiang Hou Mansion.

Zhang Bao walked into it slowly.

In the lobby, the bearded man sitting on the main seat, when he saw Zhang Bao and others coming in, he immediately laughed and said, "Come and take a seat!" ”

Zhang Bao bowed to Zhang Fei, looking relatively relaxed.

For example, Wang Ping's and Ma Jian are bowing to each other, and they are not as easy as Zhang Bao.

"Get up quickly!"

Everyone sat down, Zhang Fei picked up the wine bottle and said, "Everyone, drink this cup!" ”

"Thank you, Marquis!"

Everyone covered their sleeves and drank a cup of wine.

"The wine of this Badi is made of warm bubbles and tigers, and it is called dragon and tiger, this wine is comparable to that glass of wine, right?"

Zhang Bao tasted it and said, "This wine is strong enough."

Wang Ping also complimented on the side: "Although Ba County is a barbarian land, there are still a lot of good things like this dragon and tiger. ”

Zhang Fei tore a leg of mutton with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, not caring about the mouth full of oil.

After drinking, I don't pad my stomach, especially if this wine is still a strong wine, this stomach is like a knife cut, which is a little uncomfortable.

After eating a piece of fatty meat, Zhang Fei introduced to the lower side, dressed as a little out of place: "This person is a nobleman, a king with the surname of Yi, who came from the ditch, and his name is Duyi." ”

Seven surnamed Yi Wang?

Zhang Bao and the others couldn't help but step forward to look at this person.

With the city dam in the Danqu River Basin as the center, the people established the upper seven surnames of the Emen Tribal Alliance, the Emirate of the Great Clan.

So, this person is one of the seven surnamed Yi kings?

This person has a left side (his right arm is exposed), long hair, and barefoot, and he is a barbarian.

"Duyi, meet the generals."

Zhang Bao, Wang Ping, Ma Tan and others were all dressed in fine armor, with extraordinary appearances, this barbarian chief did not dare to underestimate everyone, and immediately got up, clenched his fists and beat his chest, and lowered his head in his chest.

"Since you are the king of the seven surnames, you must also have your own people, right?"

The people are good at hunting, they like to sing and dance, and they worship witches. Tribal leaders are divided into kings, marquis, kings, and chiefs. Because the battle is based on the wooden plank as a shield, it is also called "the board barbarian", and has the name of "the head of the tiger".

There are 100 people in the city, 1,000 people in the city, and the Hou is the leader of 10,000 people.

As for the seven surnamed Yi kings, they control one surnamed barbarian.

Now in Badi, there is no king of people at all, if there is a king of people, Liu Bei would have been killed a long time ago.

"I used to have a tribe of tens of thousands of people and 3,000 soldiers, but I was defeated by Gong Yi, the king of Yi, in the ditch and annexed my soldiers, and now I have only 500 people."

This Gong Yi is obviously also one of the seven surnamed Yi kings.

In other words, this guy is now a lost dog.

There are only 500 people, so what can be accomplished?

But Zhang Bao immediately figured out the reason why his father brought this person when he first arrived in Langzhong.

If you want to go through a little bit, you must find an entry point.

And a loser in the battle for power can easily blend into the barbarians of Badi.

even

You can also support an obedient puppet!

"It turned out to be a nobleman, Xin will be lucky!"

Seeing that Zhang Bao looked up to himself so much, Du Yi also showed a smile on his face.

"The general has orders, and he will definitely come to help!"

The implication of this is already obvious.

"Good, good! When the feast is over, I will come to the king again to discuss. ”

After speaking, in the banquet, it was another feast and pleasure.

Late at night, when everyone was drunk, they were each helped back by their own guards.

And Zhang Fei's father and son went to the study of the Xixiang Marquis's Mansion.

Although both of them were drunk and their faces were flushed, their eyes were very sober, and it was obvious that the two fathers and sons were just pretending to be drunk.

"Father, is that Duyi reliable?"

Zhang Fei picked up the decanting soup brought by the maid, and said with a smile: "Whether it is credible or not, whether it is reliable or not, you have to verify it yourself, and the father is just looking for a way for you." ”

I don't know if it's credible

Zhang Bao's eyes flickered.

While Zhang Bao was thinking, Zhang Fei suddenly asked, "Your Highness wants you to be a pioneer, but what are the arrangements?" ”

"Make early preparations, and don't say how well it will be done, but this is an opportunity for the child to make a name for himself, before the child made meritorious contributions, but His Royal Highness was making suggestions and strategizing, that is, he got the credit, and he always felt that it was not his own, and now there is no His Royal Highness above, and I want His Highness to know my Zhang Bao's ability!"

"Good! Be ambitious! It deserves to be my Zhang Yide's species! ”

For Zhang Bao's pride, Zhang Fei recognized it very much.

"It's just that the situation in Badi is far from as simple as you think, this thing, you take a look."

Zhang Fei put a book on the desk in the study, Zhang Bao picked it up and looked at it gently, and his brows furrowed.

"Why are the casualties of this slave hunting team in Badi so large?"

Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Fei with some puzzlement, and said: "Go to the slave hunting team in Nanzhong, one round trip, at most three or five people, this go to Badi to hunt slaves, one back and forth, to lose more than ten people?" ”

Zhang Fei sighed faintly and said: "This is the difference between the barbarians in Badi and the barbarians in Nanzhong, as early as the pre-Qin period, there were barbarians in this Badi, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, Sheba (Eren) participated in the war of King Wu's war as a vanguard, charging into battle. Due to the contribution of the "Ban Yuman" people, King Wu of Zhou divided 71 vassal states (sub-kingdoms), and the Ba clan was divided into "Ba Zi Kingdom", referred to as Ba State. ”

"This is a barbarian with a thousand-year-old history, with its own totem, its own beliefs, and even its own simple script, which is different from those barbarians in Nanzhong, and it is unruly and untamable, and it is famous for its good war, which is why Your Majesty only collects taxes, but does not completely occupy the reason, if you want to completely pass through the land, the price to pay is too great."

Zhang Bao has known the difficulties of conquering Badi for a long time, but what about the more difficulties?

Can you stop him Zhang Bao?

Therefore, Zhang Bao did not have any discouragement on his face, and he was still full of confidence.

"Before, Your Majesty didn't conquer Badi and pacify Badi, that was because Jingzhou was plagued by Jiangdong rats, and there was a threat of Cao thieves in the north, and it was difficult to get out of it for a while.

Liu Bei is not easy to start a business, and Cao Cao, Sun Quan to fight for the world, in the case of an unstable foundation, it is difficult to keep the foundation, for this barbarian, even if he defected to Cao Cao before the battle of Hanzhong, but after the fact, there is no intention to investigate.

It's not that I don't want to pursue it, but I really don't have the extra energy to pursue it.

Rioting without being punished, this is a barbaric view, and naturally it is becoming more and more arrogant.

"The people are weak, the power of the Emperor is much stronger than this people, there are people under him, the people of Tho, the people, the people, the slaves, the momentum is not small, the seven surnames of the people are the civil strife of the king of Yi, the seven surnames of the king of Yi Puhu, the Hou of Yiyi Du Hao led the people and because they defected to the puppet Wei before the battle of Hanzhong, they have not dared to return to the ditch, and the battle between the people and the emperor is now defeated and retreated."

The news of the weakness of the people was already known to Zhang Bao when he was in Chengdu.

And the meaning of His Royal Highness is to support the people, let them deal with the Emperor of Liao, let the two families be hard to consume, and when the blood is drained, the Han army will come to clean up the mess again, which can be described as a snipe and a clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman.

"This is the reason why the father brought this Du Yi to the child, if he supports this person, unifies the tribe of the people, and then borrows his hand to deal with the Emperor Man?"

Zhang Fei touched his beard, but he felt stabbed, so he didn't learn to touch his beard when his second brother pretended to be forced.

Just said softly: "I told you before, the people are known as barbarians, they are strong in battle, and they have their own beliefs, culture, and untamed blood, which flows in every person, and it is not easy to tame the people, even if you help Duyi to unify the tribe of the people, it may not follow your wishes." ”

Zhang Bao naturally knows the difficulty.

"This is to look at the wrist, and to make a necklace dog ring, to tie the neck of the man, so that he can only be my big man's dog, and the most loyal one."

Before he came, Liu Chan had already taught him several methods, and now, he was a little eager to implement them.

"It seems that you came prepared."

Zhang Fei smiled, waved his hand at Zhang Bao and said: "Guarding Langzhong for your father is the last barrier, even if you fail to pacify, the situation in Badi will not get out of control, and it is precisely because of this that the Han army in Langzhong City will not help you unless it reaches the point of 100,000 urgency." ”

Zhang Bao immediately nodded and said: "The three thousand people under the child are enough to wipe out the land, not to mention, Your Majesty will come to the land with seven thousand people in the near future!" ”

Zhang Fei nodded.

Suddenly, he asked, "I heard that Lan Niang is pregnant?" ”

Zhang Bao nodded heavily and said, "My sister is so blessed, I hope to give birth to a prince." ”

The prince of Han is like a prince and a king, saying that Liu Chan's heir is a prince, and there is really nothing wrong with it.

"If it's a boy, it's naturally best, and I can also hold a grandson."

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said, "If you go down, you should also go to see the seven surnamed Yi Wang Duyi." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Bao immediately retired.

Out of the study, the moon has already reached the branches at this moment, and the clear moonlight has dispelled a lot of the sweltering heat of midsummer.

It's late at night.

Just as Zhang Bao was about to go to see Du Yi again in the coming day, he came out of the gate of the inner courtyard and saw Du Yi with two barbarian cronies, so he was waiting among them.

"General."

Du Yi obviously drank a lot of wine, but what he was thinking about at the moment was not drinking, but snatching back his power.

Now the Han people want to use troops against Badi, this is the best chance, or even the only chance, for him to make a comeback.

Naturally, he didn't dare to miss it.

Therefore, even if the night breeze blew here for nearly half an hour, and he was dizzy, he had no intention of leaving.

"Why is the king waiting here, please!"

The subordinates of the Xixiang Marquis Mansion led Zhang Bao and Du Yi to a guest room.

"The little chief is waiting for the general at night, just to ask the general about the use of troops in Badi, the little chief is not talented, and he is added to the king of the seven surnames, maybe he can become a big helper to the general!"

Hehe.

Rushing to be a dog?

It's to see if you have the potential to be a dog.
