Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 418
Hot summer.

Hengyang in the north, five hundred miles away from Yanguan, is located on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, and the Chongling, Zhengshui, and Leishuis also converge from all sides.With Mount Heng towering beside it, Hengyang is a rare fertile basin, a land of fish and rice.

Feng An, in his fifties, was supposed to recuperate here, but at this time he was swimming in the Xiangjiang River with his upper body naked and only a pair of short-nosed trousers. He is very good at water and can easily cross the Xiangjiang River.

When he went ashore after swimming in the water, his nephew Feng You, the former governor of Panzhou, came forward to report.

"Qin Lang's Yanguan broke through three thousand barbarians. He took Yanguan without any effort, captured many people, and recovered Xiangyuan and Linyuan counties. Guilin had frequent secret exchanges with Tan Dian, and the Yuecheng Man was led by Hei Niu. Go down to Yanguan."

"Also, Qin Lang sent someone to ask Hengyang for food and to ask about his uncle's condition."

Feng An remained calm, wiped the water off his head, and pulled up his hair.

Feng You handed over the towel.

"Uncle? Do you want to cut off Qin Lang's food?"

"madness!"

Feng An wiped the drops of water on his body while commenting on his nephew disdainfully.

"It seems that Qin Lang is really a fierce dragon crossing the river. Cao Wuzheng is still just a three-legged snake. I thought he could cause some trouble for Qin Lang and kill Qin Lang's vigor. I didn't expect him to be so incompetent. Loud thunder , the rain was light, and the Yuecheng Man was instigated with great effort, and the result was so vulnerable!"

Feng You is the son of Feng An's elder brother Feng Hun, and Feng Hun is Feng's eldest son, but he died early, otherwise it would not be Feng An's turn to be the head of the family.For the nephew left behind by the elder brother, Feng An is still good, and he has been with him all the time. He also made Feng You the governor of Panzhou before.

"The big black bull is still very famous among the Wuling barbarians. He is brave, tough and able to fight. He now has more than [-] people under his command, and Cao Wuzheng secretly supports him. Although Qin Lang captured Yanguan, his subordinates are also It's just some impromptu cobbled together, it may not be able to beat the big black bull, especially since he is still short of food and grass." Feng You didn't have a good impression of Qin Lang, thinking that this young man was just relying on his father Qin Qiong's support. Prestige, and only by being the son-in-law of the emperor can he gain power.

He didn't want to kill Qin Lang either, but if he could kill Qin Lang with the help of Da Hei Niu and Cao Wuzheng, he would be happy to see him.

"They were supposed to be strictly guarded, but in the end they couldn't stop Qin Lang's attack. What use can you expect from them now? Forget it, pass on the order and clean up. We will personally escort Qin Lang's food and grass there." Feng Ang said.

"Uncle, why should we help Qin Lang? Even if we don't stop the delivery of grain and grass, Hengzhou won't be able to transport grain there for a while, and the mountain barbarians won't be able to attack Yanguan for a while, but if Qin Lang doesn't get the support of grain and grass, he will still be defeated." .”

"Young man, take a long-term view. Don't always regard Qin Lang as an enemy. Although he is from the north, he is now an important ally of our family in the court." Feng An said a few words and asked him to pass the order up.

Feng An didn't think that something would happen to Qin Lang. Even if they secretly blocked the delivery of grain and grass, Qin Lang would definitely have someone to help him. Although the young man didn't have many contacts, Feng An had already decided that he was a ruthless person, and even more so. smart people.

Such a person can be a friend and never an enemy.

At Yanguan at this moment, Qin Lang probably already understood why he suddenly fell ill in Hengyang, and he was probably already somewhat dissatisfied with him.If he doesn't rush to make amends, I'm afraid this young man will have a thorn in his heart in the future.

Thinking of this, Feng An actually felt somewhat regretful.

He didn't know why he had to complain about his illness and refused to leave. Did he subconsciously want to borrow a knife to kill someone?Or think that Cao Wuzheng can't do anything to Qin Lang at all, but can kill him so that Qin Lang can understand that Lingnan is not easy?
As the most powerful barbarian king in Lingnan, although Feng An said that his territory was on the southwestern coast of Lingdong, but the Feng family had been operating in Lingnan for 200 years, how could he have not planted some hidden stakes under other forces in Lingnan?

Cao Wuzheng wanted to clean up Qin Lang and instigate the Yuecheng Barbarians. Feng An had already got the news as soon as he passed Changsha, but he didn't tell Qin Lang, and even stopped in Hengyang because of his illness.

Looking at it now, after all, Qin Lang was underestimated a little too much.

Not only is this person well-known in the Central Plains, but he is also unabated in this southern country.

······
There is no moonlight tonight.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

This is a suitable time for night raids.

Da Hei Niu selected [-] tribal warriors from various tribes, all of whom are elites who can fly over cliffs and climb mountains and mountains.

But the more important thing is to refuse to defend the north, and it is relatively less dangerous to come from the south.

The big black bull did not underestimate the enemy.

The three thousand elites will be divided into three strands, one strand will touch the gate from the front, and the other strands will climb down the mountains and cliffs from both sides with ropes.

It would be best if he could get through the frontal attack, but he thought that Qin Lang could not be unprepared, so this frontal attack was actually just a feigned attack, and the real killing move was the two groups of troops on the two wings.

He intends to come to a heavenly soldier.

Although the two sides of Phoenix Mountain and Lion Mountain are very steep, full of high and dangerous cliffs, to the barbarians of Yuechengling, this is actually nothing.They lived in the mountains, hunted and collected herbs, and adapted to the terrain in the mountains, and climbed over mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground.

No matter how steep the cliff is, it is not impossible to climb over it. If you bring the right tools, you can climb over it, and he has enough such warriors under his command.

For the tribe.

The big black cow held a heavy iron ax and shouted in his heart.

Cao Wuzheng sent someone to tell him that the Emperor Chang'an of the Central Plains was going to attack Lingnan. They poisoned Ning Changzhen and assassinated Ning Daoming. It is cutting off prefectures and merging counties, and withdrawing the governor's mansion. It is also necessary to check the population, measure the land and naturalize, collect taxes and dispatch labor, and even move all the mountain barbarians to the flat land, and even move many mountain barbarians to the northern frontier. solid edge.

If you don't obey, the official army will go into the mountains to encircle and suppress.

This kind of thing has happened many times before. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and then to the Southern Dynasties, those Han emperors and courts have never stopped oppressing them, the mountain people.

They used to occupy the fertile flat land and lived by the water, but they were driven into the deep mountains, and then even the flat land in the mountains was taken away, so they could only move to the hillside, or even live on the top of the mountain in the clouds.

Every time they go down the mountain to make a deal with the Han people, they still have to collect taxes from them, and even withhold taxes in every possible way.

The mountain people have long been dissatisfied.

When all the tribes in the mountains were spreading rumors that the Great Tang Dynasty of the Central Plains was going to attack them again, and this time it was more ruthless, everyone finally turned back in anger.

For the tribe, in order to survive, we have no choice but to fight for ourselves!

Da Hei Niu is a natural fighter, he is fearless.

This time, under the common goal, the barbarians from Yuechengling gathered more than [-] people, and many villages came out in full force, everyone was fighting for themselves.

The last time they were so united was a hundred years ago, right?

And he, the big black bull, is now trusted by everyone, and he was elected as the leader. He is proud of it and feels a heavy responsibility.

Three thousand elites are in the front, and the big black bull is leading [-] people behind.

Da Hei Niu didn't send anyone to stay behind in Qin City. Although the fortresses in Qin City are fortified, for Da Hei Niu, these places that once belonged to them are now dead places.

No matter how fertile they were, they no longer belonged to the mountain people. They were already used to living in the mountains, and he knew better that the Han people would never allow them to reoccupy the flat land below the mountains.

This time everyone is united, not to establish themselves as kings and build a country of mountain people, they just want to show an attitude to the emperor in the distant Chang'an that they will never be naturalized, let alone pay taxes and serve in the army.

So there is no need to care about one city and one pool. This is also the reason why the barbarians did not occupy Xiangyuan and Linyuan before. This is not their home, and they do not plan to stay for a long time.

Their goal was to capture Qin Lang, the original son-in-law of the emperor, and negotiate terms with the emperor. As long as the terms agreed with their request, they could release the son-in-law of the emperor back, and then retreat to the mountains and return to their old life.

Of course, many mountain people in the village wanted to take the opportunity to grab two hands and find some grievances with the Han people, and Da Hei Niu also understood.

In order to capture Qin Lang, he must break through the strict barrier.

The big black cow went all out and brought all the people, men, women and children, leaving no one behind.

They marched in the dark in the dark, with guns in their mouths and straw sandals on their feet, without making a sound.

But all this did not escape Feng Shan's eyes.

Qin Lang sent several teams of light cavalry to guard and reconnaissance long after he captured Yanguan.

When the forward of the big black bull was only within twenty miles, Feng Shan had already noticed it.

He hurried back to Guanzhong.

"The barbarians are here, and there are a lot of them."

"Come here in the dark, do you want to attack at night?" Qin Lang was not nervous after hearing this, "Explore again!"

Qingqi were galloping back and forth, bringing back the latest news one by one.

"The forward has three teams, each with a thousand men."

"The army of barbarians followed closely behind. They are all black and full of people. It is estimated that they are all out."

Yanguanli.

At this time there were more than [-] people.

The knights from Chang'an were not frightened when they heard that there were [-] to [-] wild men attacking.Strictly closing the first battle made them look down on the barbarians even more, making them vulnerable, not as good as the bandits and bandits in the Central Plains.

What's more, they are still guarding the customs. Although the savages come from the south, for them, they come more or less to deliver food.

Dugu Yanyun spit, and shouted to his brothers, "Did you hear that, the savages are coming, get ready to fight, those who should drink water should drink water, and those who should shit and pee should be dealt with quickly, the savages will come up later , but it’s useless.”

Everyone was giggling and laughing, without any tension, "Don't panic, boss, this savage is still twenty miles away, we can still have a supper."

"Let's cook some pork floss porridge."

"I'm going to get some wild vegetables. They're picked during the day. They're tender and green. They're perfect for fried noodle porridge with pork floss."

Dugu Yanyun pulled out his own swords, then took out the sharpener, and began to sharpen the swords.
