"Song family? Aren't they and you, the five southern Yunnan tribes, separated by Yingzhou and Yizhou, which are directly under the empire?" Xue Sha said curiously.
"The Blood Commander doesn't know something." Shui Zheng said with a wry smile: "Yingzhou and Yizhou are located to the south of Yizhou Road. They have been infiltrated by the power of the Song family many years ago. Later, Song Junlin led the White Ear Army to enter.
In Yingzhou and Yizhou, the power of the imperial court was finally swallowed up by the Song family. Although Yingyi and Yizhou are flying under the banner of the imperial court on the surface, they are actually the power of the Song family."
Dugu sighed slightly in his heart. Although Song Junlin was an idiot in the military, he was indeed outstanding when it came to conspiracy. At least what he did was quite beautiful. And Soul Eater in Hetao also paid attention to it.
The point is not here, and what the Song family did was quite secretive, so the Hetao people didn't know about it.
Touching his chin, Dugu said with a smile: "I asked you why after our army entered Yingzhou, the attitude of the prefect of Yingzhou was so lukewarm. It turned out that it was because I had been given the thumbs up by my old boss.
Got it. Mr. Song, you have finally made some progress. By the way, Chief Shui, since you, the Keshui tribe, are alone, and Sha Dan must have promised you huge profits, why don’t you agree? If you join their team,
No matter what, you can get some kind of founding hero. To say the least, the strength of the Keshui tribe is already weak. Park Zhicheng is bound to win over you. Why don't you surrender to the Jinhua Dynasty? I guess Jinhua wants to win over you.
If you do, I will definitely comfort you. That way, it will be better than now."
As soon as Shui Zheng heard this, his originally dull face suddenly gained a bit of sparkle and pride that people dared not look at. He straightened his back, raised his head slightly, and said in an passionate tone: "Although we, the guest of the Shui Tribe,
We have lived here for generations, but the blood of the Celestial Dynasty still flows in our bodies, and the glory of our ancestors is still permeated in our bones. As people of the Celestial Dynasty, we can move around, we can change our customs, and we can even die together, but absolutely not
Able to grovel, not rebel against the country and stand on our own, not become a slave of a foreign race! Life is what I want; death is what I am lucky to do! If we join the Shan people or surrender to the foreign race, we can live with it for a while, but we will leave it for eternity.
If we die in battle, even if we are bloodied, we will be able to record the history of loyalty. If we lose, at most we will migrate as a family again, at most we will be wiped out, but we will never dishonor the inheritance of our ancestors.
The iron bones given to us will not disgrace the majesty of our great dynasty!"
These words were filled with righteousness and righteousness. Even Dugu and Xue Sha beside him felt the same emotion. They slammed the table and Xue Sha said loudly: "The patriarch is worthy of being a citizen of my heaven. With such character, he should be
He is truly a role model for the people of China."
Shui Zheng hurriedly waved his hand humbly: "Commander Xue praised me, but these are just my words from the bottom of my heart."
Dugu raised his eyebrows: "Clan Chief, if our Hetao army has not moved south, what are your preparations? I see that you are already preparing to move, but I don't know where you are planning to move?"
"The main settlement areas of our Keshui people are Nanping, Dangwu and Yaoshan counties in Jingzhou. Among them, Nanping is the richest and is located on the west bank of Xijiang River, while Dangwu and Yaoshan counties are on the east bank of Xijiang River. Our Keshui people have only 50,000 troops.
Even if the whole clan is mobilized, the total strength will not exceed 100,000. So we are ready to abandon Nanping, retreat to the east bank of the Xijiang River, and rely on the natural dangers of the Xijiang River to fight against the Golden Flower Army."
Dugu continued to ask: "This is a good idea, but Park Zhicheng is a famous general. What if you are defeated in the battle?"
There was hesitation on Shui Zheng's face, but he finally said: "You two have shown great kindness to me, the Shui Tribe. It would be too chilling if I still kept it secret. To be honest, Li Xiaomo, the eldest son of Qinchuan Road, has already
I secretly informed the old man, saying that if the war does not go well, we can move to Qinchuan Road or the western area of Yuzhou Road, and promise not to interfere with our clan's existing customs and habits. We also promised that as long as we are within the control of the Li family on Qinchuan Road
, they will all be able to ensure the safety of our clan."
Both Xue Sha and Dugu were shocked. It would be easier to accept that Song Junlin had secretly controlled the two Yingyi prefectures on the South Dian Road and plotted against the five southern Yunnan tribes. After all, it was no longer the case that the Song family was plotting against the South Dian Road.
It's been a year or two. But I didn't expect that Li Xiaomo, who was far away on Qinchuan Road, was also secretly involved in the affairs of southern Yunnan. His hand was stretched too far, right?
However, the two of them had to admit that Li Xiaomo's move was indeed a good move. Although the Keshui tribe is the last of the five tribes in southern Yunnan, it still has a population of one million. If the Keshui tribe can really be defeated
By collecting it, not only can they gain a good reputation in Qingfeng territory, but they can also add millions of people and labor force. If the Li family plans to plot southern Yunnan in the future, they will not only have many soldiers and guides who are familiar with the terrain, but also have an upright and upright person.
excuses. Moreover, with the shrewdness of Li Tieming and his son, they will definitely be able to find many reasons and excuses to resettle the Keshui people in their original places, which are Luozhou and Qiuzhou to the west of Yuzhou Road. In this way, the Li family's power will also be logical.
spread here. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. It seems that Li Xiaomo can be called the most outstanding person among the ten heroes of China, and he is indeed well-deserved. If it weren't for the Hetao army coming from thousands of miles to help and defeating the Jinhua army
, then Li Xiaomo’s move will definitely achieve a perfect ending.
"Where will the patriarch go now?" Dugu asked tentatively.
Shui Zheng sighed softly: "Although the two commanders have temporarily eliminated the threat of the Jinhua Dynasty to our clan today, as long as Pu Zhicheng does not die, they will definitely send troops north. If the Hetao army can send troops here
If you are stationed here, then our clan will definitely be able to provide all the needs and let the children of the clan cooperate. But if you two are just resting here temporarily, then we are still preparing for the whole clan to prepare for war. If it is not possible, we will prepare to move. After all, with the strength of our clan
, we are still unable to fight against the Golden Flower Dynasty. Besides, Sha Dan and other ambitious people will definitely not lie dormant for too long. Even the four tribes in southern Yunnan will be a headache for us in the future."
Xue Sha was silent for a moment, then said: "Then the clan leader is still planning to move to Qinchuan Road and Yuzhou Road?"
Shui Zheng nodded: "I do mean this. After all, Yuzhou Road is the former residence of our clan. Although hundreds of years have passed, it is still a good thing to be able to return there. But I have also heard that this place is
We are at the forefront of the war, but I think there will be no problem with the imperial court and the army guarding Qinchuan Road."
Xue Sha smiled contemptuously in his heart. Although Shui Zhan was an old fox, he and Dugu were not easy people. Just looking at Shui Zheng's eyes, Xue Sha understood what Shui Zheng was thinking. So he sighed softly and said:
"It's a pity that the Second Northwest Road is too far away, and the northwest is a place directly under the imperial court. Tribal elders will never be allowed to serve as exiled officials. All power must be returned to the local government. Otherwise, I can let the clan leaders choose
northwest."
Shui Zheng's expression was startled, and he squeezed out a smile, and then said: "It's not that I don't want to move to Hetao, but the northwest is too far away, and the people are used to living in groups. I'm afraid it won't be easy after we get there.
Habit."
Xue Sha sneered. How could he not understand the thoughts of these tribal elders? The life and death of the entire tribe is important, but his own power is equally important. Shui Zheng was obviously asking for a price just now, but as a senior executive in Hetao, Xue Sha
I definitely don't want to start this.
If the Keshui tribe moves to Northwest 2nd Road, then relying on their long-term living inertia and the current sparsely populated area of Northwest 2nd Road, they will surely be able to grow rapidly and become a major local force. Although Shuizheng is loyal to China, but
They are only loyal to China, not to Hetao or Haotian. Just like Li Tieming, Zhang Cangxiong and Song Junlin, they are also loyal to China, but they have other plans. If the water is allowed to take root in the northwest, Haotian
God is tolerant and kind to the people of the true dynasty, so how can we know whether Shuizheng will become another aristocratic family?
If the Keshui Tribe can really move to the Hetao one day, then Xue Sha will definitely advise Haotian to break up their tribe, and they will definitely not allow these local forces to become stronger. Of course, under such conditions, if the Keshui Tribe had not come to an end,
Nor would I make such a choice.
Dugu obviously also understood the meaning of blood killing, and he had a thief smile on his face: "Clan leader, we are all very grateful to the nobles for your hospitality today. We just came from afar and didn't bring any gifts. Let's do that.
, someone will give you tens of thousands of labor force to the patriarch. I wonder if the patriarch is satisfied?"
"Then why are you embarrassed?" Shui Zheng said quickly and modestly, but he immediately understood what Dugu was talking about as labor force, his face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly waved his hands and said: "Du Shuai has good intentions, I understand. Du Gu is kind.
You better keep it for yourself, handsome."
Xue Sha took a big sip of wine. Dugu was really a rogue to the extreme. Although Shui Zhan was a bit more cunning, he was still an old man in his fifties or sixties, and he was also special to China.
Feelings. Besides, the reception tonight is quite good. Why are you trying to scare this old man like this? The tens of thousands of labor force he mentioned are naturally 30,000 Jinhua prisoners of war. Although Jinhua was defeated today, as long as the Hetao army
After leaving Jingzhou, Pu Zhicheng will definitely go north again. And if the Keshui tribe really accepted tens of thousands of prisoners of war, they might not even be able to sleep peacefully.
"In this case, I'll be eating for nothing today." Dugu said with a smile, but his expression was particularly ferocious: "It seems that these golden monkeys have to be sent to the northwest and handed over to the guard of the border commander. Anyway.
We are currently short of labor in the northwest, so it would be good to let these monkeys go to work and undergo labor reform. After all, our country is a country of etiquette, and we cannot kill prisoners of war. However, I am afraid that the commander-in-chief will worry about these monkeys.
Don’t kill them for food, that would be a pity.”
In the battle of Linyi, the Hetao army basically eliminated the threat that the Jinhua Dynasty faced from Dahu Road in a short period of time, and also temporarily stabilized the situation on the South Yunnan Road. The Jinhua army stormed Luzhou that day and Linyi a few days ago.
In the First World War, a total of 100,000 troops were lost, and the regular army of the Jinhua Dynasty was only 300,000. After losing one-third of its troops and two generals being severely hit, I believe the Jinhua Dynasty will be honest.
some time.
No matter which aspect of the strength of the South Yunnan Road, when faced with this powerful Hetao force that only used 20,000 elites to withstand the Jinhua 100,000-strong army and captured 30,000 enemies, no one could do anything.
It’s hard for students to weigh their own weight. Especially after knowing the murderousness of Dugu and Xuesha, they deeply understood the truth. These two people are not easy to mess with. Only the one with the big fist is the boss. If
It really pissed off these two killing gods, so who knows how these two people will react. Therefore, no matter who they are, even Sha Dan from the Shan ethnic group and Song Junlin who stays on Dahu Road, they all keep a respectful distance from the Hetao army.
.So under such circumstances, the situation in southern Yunnan is relatively stable.
The Qingfeng army in the east of Yuzhou Road has been confronting the Paradise Alliance for nearly two months. Cassimbas has already arrived at Yangzhou Road, and the garrison of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms in Ningzhou on Yangzhou Road has also increased to 400,000. In addition to the 100,000 recruited from the East Japanese
The incoming army, the 200,000-strong army of the Holy Sect of Paradise, and the 100,000-strong navy of Kato Taka were overwhelming Qingfeng. However, for some unknown reason, Cassimbas never launched an attack.
, he came to Ningzhou as if he were here to recuperate from illness. Even though Jin Zongbiao and others proposed several times, Kasimbas just asked them to conduct joint combat drills. But the more this happened, the more Qingfeng did not dare to relax. The name of the person
, The Shadow of the Tree, Cassimbas has been famous all over the world for sixty years. He has never been defeated in a hundred battles in his life. Countless Qingfeng soldiers died under him. Even Tie Zhen is particularly wary of this powerful opponent.
.
On Qingfeng's side, there are gathered the 230,000 waterway army of the Li family on Qinchuan Road, the 150,000 coalition army of Haotianxueqing City in Hetao, the Qinglong Army of Emperor Uncle Liu Nan, the marching Eastern Army, and Zhu Bing
Yang's Northern Army and the 40,000 naval divisions of the Huai River Zhang family. Including the local garrison, there are also 800,000 troops. However, the combat effectiveness of the Qingfeng coalition is definitely not as good as that of the Northeast coalition. The main problem is that Qingfeng's internal orders are inconsistent.
Even the highly respected Tie Zhen cannot make all the armies obey his orders, so defense is now the main focus. Although there are Liu Nance's Imperial Guards and Hu Biyandan's dragons in Tiandu Shengjing,
The cavalry regiment, but facing the joint pressure of Minghui and Bing Heng from the south of Tiandu Shengjing, it can be said that they are completely unable to move.
