After Huang Guo and Cen Jue left, Nong Si immediately gathered all the people in command of the army together and asked them if they had sent people to shoot Huang Guo and Cen Jue's people.
Seeing everyone shaking their heads in denial, Nong Si thought that these people did not tell the truth because they were afraid of being punished, so she changed to a more euphemistic way of saying it.
"Brothers in the clan, if someone shoots Huang Guo and Cen Jue's clan members, please come forward. I promise you that I will only show off in front of Huang Guo and Cen Jue and will never make it difficult to shoot Huang Guo and Cen Jue. I am a brother from the Nong ethnic group whose surname is Renren."
The reason why Nong Si dared to assure her brothers was because, in Nong Si's view, the lives of the Nong clan members were more valuable than the lives of Huang and Cen clan members, even if his clan members really shot and killed them. The people with the surnames Huang and Cen did not have to pay with their lives. They only had to use some money to compensate.
After Nong Si finished speaking, she looked at the people in front of her expectantly, thinking that someone would take the initiative to admit it.
After a while, no one took the initiative to admit it. Nong Si looked at the people in front of her in disbelief and muttered in her heart: "Could it be that those people were not killed by their own clansmen?"
But the arrows used to kill the Huang and Cen tribesmen were indeed used by soldiers of her own clan, and Nong Si was sure of this.
Just when Nong Si was puzzled and didn't know how to deal with it, a small leader of the clan stood up.
"Chief, there are six soldiers under me who have disappeared since last night. Could it be that members of the Huang and Cen clans were shot dead by these six men?"
"Then where are these six people now?" Nong Si asked, staring at the little leader in front of her.
"Chief, I don't know. They haven't appeared since last night. I guess these six people should have found a place to hide."
"Hiding them? What a bunch of trash. Didn't they just kill a few people? All the men of my Nong clan are upright men. They dare to do anything. It's a shame!" Nong Si cursed sadly.
"Take someone to find these six people and bring them to me." Nong Si ordered the little leader.
"Yes, I will take people to look for them." After receiving Nong Si's order, the little leader left and took his two hundred soldiers to look for the traces of the six people.
Just when this little leader led his 200 followers into small groups of twos and threes to look for the six soldiers, Yinglong Army detectives discovered these peasant soldiers who were divided into small groups to look for people.
So the lurking Yinglong army quietly moved out and began to hunt down the soldiers of the Nong clan who were looking for people.
At dusk, when all the searching soldiers returned to the camp, the little leader found that only 130 soldiers had returned to the camp, and 70 people were missing, so the little leader had to take a group of soldiers who had returned to the camp. One hundred and thirty soldiers went to find the whereabouts of the seventy soldiers.
Half an hour later, when the little leader led his group to search for a depression, he was shocked by the sight in front of him. He saw the seventy people who had not returned to camp lying neatly in the depression in front of them, but they were already dead. They turned into corpses, and each one had an arrow stuck in his chest.
The little leader trembled and came to the corpse, leaned over and pulled out an arrow from a corpse. The arrow shaft was engraved with the mark of the Huang clan.
The little leader successively pulled out arrows from more than a dozen corpses and inspected them. He saw that these arrows were either marked by the clan surname Huang or the clan surname Cen.
An hour later, when the little leader placed a dozen bloody arrows on Nong Si's desk, Nong Si became furious.
"Well, Huang Guo and Cen Jue, you agreed to give me three days, but you never thought that you would take action first. In this case, it's no wonder that we, the Nong Clan, are the ones to blame." Nong Si said with a gloomy face.
That night, five thousand soldiers from the Nong clan took advantage of the night to attack the territories of the Huang and Cen clans.
By noon the next day, the Yue fighting led by the Yinglong Army was completely out of control. It evolved from an inexplicable misunderstanding into a decisive battle between three major clans and two forces with 30,000 soldiers.
When the fighting continued on the third day, Han Chuan led his troops out of Wuyi Mountain.
Because most of the soldiers of the Nong clan who were stationed at the pass were engaged in the battle with the other two clans, Han Chuan easily captured the pass at the foot of Wuyi Mountain.
After taking the pass, Han Chuan immediately sent someone to deliver the news to Fusu.
After hearing the news, Fusu sent the remaining Huben troops to Hanchuan through the secret passage to help Hanchuan defend the pass at the foot of Wuyi Mountain.
After the Huben troops sent by Fusu arrived at the pass captured by Han Chuan, Han Chuan divided the 50,000 Huben troops into two parts. 20,000 Huben troops stayed to garrison the pass, while Han Chuan led 30,000 Huben troops and 3,000 Huben troops. Yinglong's army rushed out along a road from Minzhong County to Nanhai County, trying to open up a road for Fusu's army to enter Minzhong County.
The secret passage in Wuyi Mountain is suitable for small groups of people to penetrate, but is not suitable for large armies to invade.
Because when a large army attacks, it must not only consider the attack, but also consider the retreat in an emergency. It is simply impossible for an army of hundreds of thousands to retreat from the secret passage of Wuyi Mountain in a critical moment. Moreover, Fusu does not dare to risk an army of 120,000. With no way to retreat, he rashly entered Minzhong County from the Wuyishan Trail.
Fusu has always followed two principles in using troops: one is that it will never trade the lives of soldiers if it can be solved with money, such as buying off a group of aides around Zhao Shi; the other is that it will not fight without confidence For example, when conquering the Xiongnu, the Yueshi did not send troops to Hexi until the Xiongnu were almost exhausted.
In ten days, Han Chuan led the Huben Army and Yinglong Army to seize the passes and broke through three passes of the South Vietnamese Army.
On this day, Han Chuan led his army to the last pass on the outskirts of Minzhong County. As long as this pass was broken, Fusu's army could be welcomed into Minzhong County.
Since deserters from previous passes brought news of Han Chuan to this pass, this pass was prepared in advance to resist Han Chuan's army. The generals guarding the pass led their soldiers to strengthen the defense of the pass and prepare for war. .
Looking at the tightly defended pass in front of him, Han Chuan felt a little overwhelmed. He was about to join Fusu's army outside the pass, but he didn't expect to encounter such a difficult pass.
Because every time Han Chuan conquered a pass, he had to leave 5,000 men to guard the three passes. Moreover, Han Chuan was afraid that the South Vietnamese army would cut off the food route, so he sent 5,000 men out of Wuyi Mountain. They used secret passages to transport grain, so when they arrived at the pass in front of them, Han Chuan only had 10,000 Hu Ben troops and 3,000 Ying Long troops left.
Just when Han Chuan set up his camp on a high ground five miles away from the pass, countless black clouds rolled over Han Chuan's head. Over the next few days, heavy rain fell intermittently.
For two consecutive days, Han Chuan braved the heavy rain and wandered around this pass, trying to find a way to break through. However, the pass in front of him was heavily defended, and Han Chuan could not find a way to break through for a while.
On this day, Han Chuan returned to the camp, while the heavy rain was still falling intermittently.
"General Han, the rain in South Vietnam is really severe. It has been raining for several days and it keeps raining. If it rains again, we will almost turn into fish." A guard said with emotion as he took the raincoat handed over by Han Chuan.
After listening to the guard's words, Han Chuan suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the raincoat from the guard and put it on. He put on the bamboo hat and rushed out of the camp gate. Several of his followers had to chase him out in the heavy rain.
The whole day, Han Chuan wandered around the nearby mountains.
Half a day later, Han Chuan stopped by a river ten miles away from the South Vietnamese Army pass. After circling the river a few times, he excitedly shouted: "Found it."
