Chapter One Hundred and Thirty The Ding Bu Ling in the Deep Mountains
Xifulie.
Zhang Zangying directly ordered someone to take off his armor, and said with a depressed look: "This is too much, I haven't even sweated on my body! Does a poor place like Jiaozhi really need an 80,000-strong army on land and water?"
As a tiger general who charges into battle, the most uncomfortable thing is not during the war, but the period after the war.
Wearing armor for a fight, your body feels like a steamer, but you can't take off the armor, you will get armor-removing wind, which is really uncomfortable.
But in today's battle, Zhang Zangying realized that the enemy collapsed before his body even warmed up, and he didn't even break a sweat.
Guo Jin frowned at the side and said after a while: "Maybe our opponents are not these envoys!"
Zhang Zangying said in surprise: "Are there other enemies?"
A sharp look flashed in Guo Jin's eyes and he said: "The people of Jiaozhi."
Zhang Zangying looked at Guo Jin with a strange look on his face and said, "What do the common people have to fear?"
Zhang Zangying is a veteran. She is already over sixty this year. Influenced by the ethos of the Five Dynasties, she is a veteran in the army. She has won many battles and suffered many defeats, so much so that even at her age, she has not lost her temper.
Can't go up or down.
In his eyes, the people were at their mercy, which meant that Luo Youdu was very strict and he did not dare to take any risks.
Guo Jin said in a deep voice: "This time we went south, thirteen scouts were missing from the army. I always thought that they were killed because of the careless thieves. Today, when I was chasing Ruan Chao, I found many corpses in the countryside.
Their bodies were stripped naked and dumped on the roadside at the foot of the mountain. From the injuries on their bodies, it can be seen that they are not normal sword wounds, but wounds similar to those of hoes, rakes and even sickles. We don’t know who these corpses are.
, it is very likely that they are soldiers who have escaped."
Zhang Zangying swallowed and said, "Did the people in the local village do it?"
Guo Jin nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten. I specifically asked the generals who surrendered, and they all took it for granted. Most of the people in Jiaozhi are Jiuzhen and Rinan barbarians. They have their own customs.
Just like wild beasts, they are naturally repulsive and hostile to outsiders. It is normal for them to kill unfamiliar passers-by. Deserters with a certain degree of aggression are even more targeted. You think, the imperial court cannot arrange an army here in Jiaozhi
, what should we do if we don’t have enough strength and have conflicts with these barbarians?"
Zhang Zangying said with a trace of fear in his eyes: "It's impossible to guard against it!"
"That's right!" Guo Jin said: "There is no reason to guard against thieves every day."
He said harshly: "Sooner or later, this group of unruly people must be taught a lesson."
He has a strong desire to kill, and he has enough kindness and kindness towards the real people, but it is another matter for the unruly people who kill his soldiers.
Guo Jin had already made up his mind and said, "Forget it, let's forget about it for now. Let's take over Jiaozhi first."
Zhang Zangying perked up and said, "Are you going to deal with King Wan Sheng?"
Seeing Guo Jin nodding, he couldn't help but licked his lips and said: "I have been fighting for nearly fifty years, and I don't even dare to call him Wan Sheng. A brat under thirty dares to call him Wan Sheng. I have to give it a try."
His quality."
Guo Jin smiled and said: "Don't have high hopes."
Along the way, Guo Jin has seen the magical place of Jiaozhi.
In a place the size of your buttocks, there are more than thirty separatist forces.
Fortunately, the Twelve Envoys at least have a decent city. Many people live in caves, which are worse than the bandits over there.
When it comes to armies, they are all half peasants and half soldiers, with few pieces of iron armor.
How strong can a powerful man born in a place like this be?
Buhaikou.
Lin Renzhao also came here after Chen Decheng resolved the crisis at Buhaikou.
Chen Lan was ten years older and faced the fierce offensive of three Ruan, two Wu and one Du.
The separatist forces headed by Chen Lan and assisted by Lu Tang, Fan Baihu, and Zhou Tai were no match at all.
When Lu Tang was resisting San Ruan, he was killed by Lei Gong Ruan Shoujie.
Tengzhou, where Fan Baihu lived, was also conquered by Er Wu, and more than half of Zhou Tai's clan soldiers were killed or injured.
Chen Lanben occupied most of the land in the Red River Delta, and was beaten to the point where only the isolated city was left to defend it.
The reinforcements were nowhere to be seen, and it was evident that Chen Lan was under great pressure.
Now that everything is brighter and brighter, Chen Lan greets Lin Renzhao as if he were seeing his parents again.
That day Lin Renzhao came to Chen Lan to discuss matters.
Fan Baihu and Zhou Tai are naturally among them, and Wu Riqing and Wu Changchi, as surrendered generals, are at the end.
They surrendered early and there was no threat to their lives. However, just because they were descendants of the previous dynasty, they could not stay in Jiaozhi. Lin Renzhao planned to take them back to Bianjing and wait for their fate.
Lin Renzhao asked: "Is there a Hualu cave nearby? Their leader is called Dingbu Ling? Your Majesty said that this man has evil intentions and will be in great trouble if he is left here."
Chen Lanben was deeply impressed and fond of Ding Buling, and even wanted to promote him as his confidant.
But this turmoil was all due to the news being leaked in advance.
Chen Lan revealed the news to only one person in the Ding tribe. It was obvious who the mastermind was. He said angrily: "Your Majesty has a clever plan. Ding tribe is indeed an ungrateful Zhongshan wolf..."
Wu Riqing and Wu Changchi had a grudge against Dingbu leader and said: "This thief started the war, but he made a fortune in silence. While we were struggling, he had already swallowed up Wu Chuping and Yang Hui, and is now encircling and suppressing them."
Fan Linggong. Angel, this thief is a vicious dog that was bred and was not familiar with, so we must get rid of it."
Lin Renzhao clasped his hands together and said, "Then what are you waiting for? You lead the way and send troops to Hualu Cave."
At this moment, the leader of Wansheng Wang Ding, who was unaware of the imminent disaster, was searching for Fan Linggong's whereabouts in the mountains.
Ding Buling sat on a rock by the stream in the mountain to rest. He couldn't help cursing: "This old turtle is like a mouse. He is really good at hiding. It has ruined my mood."
Ding Buling has been in a good mood ever since he stirred up the turmoil in Jiaozhi.
The Ding tribe has an outstanding leader and has trained an elite force in Hualu Cave, which can be said to be invincible. However, due to insufficient financial strength, it is unable to conduct expeditions and maintain long-term operations. Its strength has been consolidated on the front line of Hualu Cave.
Until by chance, he intercepted Liu Su's fleet of the Southern Han Dynasty. Taking advantage of the chaos in Jiaozhi, he sent out troops from neutral forces and captured Ningzhou and Hedong in one fell swoop.
Integrating the two forces, leader Ding led his troops to directly attack the tea village where Fan Linggong was located.
Fan Linggong did not belong to the ranks of the Twelve Envoys, but he was an old scholar respected by everyone in Jiaozhi.
When Yang Sange rebelled, Wu Changji, the eldest son of Wu Quan, escaped with the protection of Fan Linggong.
The leader of the Ding tribe easily defeated Fan Linggong's troops, but Fan Linggong escaped into the mountains under the protection of the dead soldiers.
Fan Linggong was not good at using troops, but his prestige was too high and he was deeply loved by the local people. He would not be sure if he did not conquer the tea village.
Bidige
The tea town is rich in tea, which is a major source of income. Ding Buling does not intend to leave any trouble in the future and goes into the mountains to pursue it himself.
For more than ten days, he was nowhere to be seen.
Ding Buling thought that San Ruan and Er Wu should have already conquered Buhai Pass, so he said: "Forget it, let's go back. It's just a mouse. It's not worth spending any more time."
