Chapter 195: Soldiers Coming to the Cottage
Sure enough, the people who went to check outside the village came back in a panic to report that a large number of troops appeared not far from the cottage.
Hearing this news, the Baiyue people suddenly rioted, and everyone thought that this was the imperial army to provoke a war, so they picked up weapons one after another. For a while, the crowd was excited, and the scene was very chaotic.
Originally, the relationship between the Baiyue people and the Southern Han court was very delicate, although it has eased over the years, but this delicate relationship is actually like a taut cowhide band, no matter who exerts a little more strength, this cowhide band will break.
Now that a large number of imperial troops have suddenly appeared, the relationship between the two clans is like sprinkling a handful of salt in a hot oil pot, and it is immediately boiling.
"Poisonous bones, is this your ghost!" Dongga stared at him and said indignantly.
"What if I did it, if I destroy you today, no one in the Baiyue clan will be able to disobey me anymore. Poison Bone Yin replied with a smile.
"You, a traitor to the Baiyue people, actually united with the Southern Han Dynasty officials and troops to deal with your own people!"
"The traitor of the Baiyue people, it's not a pity to die, the patriarch will kill him quickly!"
The tribal leaders present knew of the poisonous bone's conspiracy and demanded that he be killed, and some of the leaders who had originally supported him also woke up and turned to support Dongga.
"So, your challenge to me is basically a game, and your purpose is just to gather all the leaders of the Baiyue clan and gather them to annihilate them. Dongga asked.
He had to suppress the anger in his heart, because at this time, it would be useless to hold the poisonous bone accountable, the Southern Han army was outside the cottage, and it could attack at any time, how to save the clansmen was something he should consider now.
"That's right, as long as you are eliminated, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty will appoint me as the leader of the Baiyue people, and from then on, the high-ranking officials and the Baiyue people will also move towards a bright future under my leadership. Poison Bone said proudly.
"Damn, come on, take the poisonous bones down to me and keep them under strict guard, and wait until the enemy retreats, and then dispose of them." Dongga ordered.
"Hahaha, you're done, the Baiyue clan is mine......" When the poisonous bone was escorted away, he was still laughing heartily.
At this time, the leaders of the other tribes suddenly placed their right hands on their chests and knelt down on one knee to Dongga, which was the Baiyue tribe's tribute to the leader.
"Dongga Patriarch, we have been deceived by traitors, and we have a lot of thoughts, now that the enemy is present, I hope that Dongga Patriarch can continue to lead us, and we Baiyue people will unite by your side, and we will be invincible. The leaders said the same.
Seeing this, all the Baiyue people present also knelt down on one knee and saluted one after another, and petitioned one after another. Because of the rebellion of the poisonous bones, the Baiyue people with different hearts were tightly united, which I am afraid this is also what he did not expect.
"Yu Shaoxia, Miss Ye, there is an army of the imperial court outside, you two are Han, this matter has nothing to do with you, please leave quickly to avoid being affected. Dongga said.
"Dongga patriarch, this is wrong, I stayed just to help the Baiyue people, now the imperial army does not know the reason, suddenly in front of the village, leaving at this time, doesn't it seem that I am unkind and unjust, not worthy of standing with the rivers and lakes. Yu replied.
"It's just that now the army is pressing, it's too late to transfer troops from other cottages, there are only more than 3,000 people in our cottages, and more than half of them are old and young women and children. Dongga said with a sad face.
"It's definitely not okay for us to sit back and wait here, we have to find out the true intentions of the officials and soldiers first. Yu thought about it.
"Does Yu Shaoxia have a good idea? Dongga asked.
"Don't hide it from the Dongga patriarch, our Yu family is a little thin in the court, so it's better for me to go first to find out the truth. Yu Zhong said.
"Then there will be a young man, and I will interrogate the poisonous bones, and we will try to find a way to resolve the matter peacefully. Dongga said happily.
"But we still have to be prepared for both, there is another way out for the cottage. Yu Zhong asked.
"There is no way out, but our village is built according to the mountain, the mountain is dangerous, cliffs on three sides, only a small road behind the village goes uphill, there is a water source on the mountain, if it is attacked by the enemy, my people retreat to the mountain, and there is no problem when it sticks to ten days and eight days. Dongga replied.
"Great, Dongga Patriarch, you first arrange someone to lead the old and young women and children in the village to the mountain, and I will buy time for you, even if the negotiation fails, you can be invincible and wait for help." Yu Zhong said.
"What Yu Shaoxia said is very true, I will arrange this matter. Dongga replied.
Since the plan has been decided, they immediately split up, except for a small number of young and strong men left in the village to serve as defense work, the rest of the clansmen all retreated to the back mountain.
The hut was dim, listening to the noise and chaos outside, and the poisonous bone's heart kept snickering with joy, and his wish was about to be fulfilled.
At this time, a person pushed the door and walked in, it was Dongga. He ordered to retreat left and right, and only he and Poison Bone were left in the room.
"Hmph, is the victor here to show off his might? Happy to be a little early, right?" Poison Bone snorted coldly.
Dongga moved a chair and sat down, not the happiness of the victor, but a faint sadness.
"No, I just came to see my brother. Dongga's tone was gentle, as if he had forgotten that his younger brother wanted to kill him just now.
"Do you think that such an attitude will make me succumb? You are wrong, I will never approve of my father and your attitude towards the Han people, our Baiyue blood is supreme. Poison Bone said paranoidly.
"Brother, you're wrong. What path we Baiyue people choose to take is not up to our father or you and me to decide, but the common choice of hundreds of thousands of Baiyue people. Do you think you were defeated by me, no, you lost to the hearts of the people. Dongga said earnestly.
"You have all been deceived by the superficial hypocrisy of the Han people, look at the imperial army outside the cottage, since they will cooperate with me, it means that the Han people are thinking about how to destroy our Baiyue people all the time, and the path I choose is the only correct way. Poison Bone said.
"The way you are talking about is to surrender to the imperial court and become the eagle dog of the imperial court from now on? You ask the people outside, will they agree?" Dongga pointed outside and replied indignantly.
"They promised me, as long as you and the leaders of the other tribes are eliminated, the Baiyue tribe will have no leader, and there will be no threat to the imperial court, and then I will be the patriarch of the Baiyue tribe, and all the Han people will withdraw from our territory, and the Baiyue people will become a truly independent nation. Poison Bone said excitedly.
"Have you ever thought that if it is really as you said, the leaders all die here, and you will have lost your use value by then, do you think the imperial court will still fulfill its promise to you?" Dongga said.
"No...... They'll definitely ......" Poison Bone replied hesitantly, he clearly hadn't thought of it. was said by Dongga, but he was a little less confident.
"Brother, you are just blinded by power, wake up, when do we need to rely on the hands of outsiders for our Baiyue people's autonomy and independence, you will only waste my father's decades of efforts and bring the disaster of annihilation to our Baiyue people. Dongga said sadly.
Hearing this, the poisonous bones were speechless for a moment and fell silent......
Outside the cottage, the flags fluttering all over the mountains, the imperial army is neat, and it is ready to attack the cottage at any time.
"Newspaper! A man and a woman held a prayer note and asked to see him before the army. A herald came to report.
A majestic general, standing on his horse, opened the prayer post, and read: "The eldest son of the Yu family in Jiangzhou? ”
"Commander Sun, how can the name of the Yu family in Jiangzhou be casually recognized, you better be cautious, it's better to see it first, if it's fake, it's not too late to deal with it." The deputy commander on the side reminded.
"You're right, come here, bring the eldest son of the Yu family here to meet. Commander Sun ordered.
After a while, Yu Zhong and Ye Xiaoxiao urinated in front of Commander Sun.
"You are the eldest son of the Yu family in Jiangzhou?" Commander Sun asked.
"It's Yu Zhong below, and I've seen Commander Sun. Yu Zhong replied politely.
"I have heard the prestige of Prince Yu for a long time, and I have a fate to meet today, I don't know what advice I have?" Commander Sun was polite, but his attitude was quite arrogant.
"I was originally a guest in the Baiyue village, and I suddenly heard that Commander Sun led the army to come, I don't know why, so the Dongga patriarch specially entrusted me to come and ask for advice. Yu Zhong said.
"The Baiyue people have always harbored different intentions, and the imperial court learned that they gathered a crowd here to rebel, and received the order of the commander, and the commander led the troops to exterminate it, and Yu Gongzi must not be deceived by the Baiyue people and hinder our military affairs. Commander Sun had a threat in his tone.
"Hey, I've been in the village for a few days, I don't know about the rebellion of the Baiyue tribe, how did Commander Sun know, it seems that you have the divine power of an unknown prophet." Yu Zhong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
was robbed of by Yu Chong, and Commander Sun was speechless for a while: "...... Don't mess around, this commander has received the order of the commander, if you have anything to ask, go directly to the control house in Xinzhou and ask him. ”
"Lord Commander, the Baiyue people are still martial, even a ten-year-old child can go into battle to kill the enemy, so forced, aren't you afraid that the Baiyue people will really rebel?" Yu Zhong asked rhetorically.
"There is no need for Yu Dagongzi to worry about this, the ruler has already taken countermeasures, and the Baiyue clan has already ......" Commander Sun said half of his words, and suddenly stopped talking.
He changed his words and said: "The Baiyue clan is in turmoil, the crime is unforgivable, Yu Dagongzi still quickly get out of the way, and the commander is going to attack." ”
After saying that, he whipped his horse and rode his horse forward.
"Where are you going, my lord?" Ye Xiaoxiao said.
She leaped forward, and instantly came to Commander Sun's side, her left hand holding the reins of the horse, and the sword in her right hand was unsheathed.
"You...... Who you are and what do you want to do. Commander Sun drew his sword.
