Chapter 418 Regret
Summer is hot.
Hengyang, which is 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 directions. With Mount Heng towering beside it, Hengyang is a rare fertile basin, a land of fish and rice.
Feng An, who was 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.
After he swam in the water and went ashore, 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 people to ask Hengyang for food and to ask about his uncle's condition."
Feng An remained calm, wiped the water on his head, and pulled up his hair.
Feng You handed over the towel.
"Uncle? Do you want to cut off Qin Lang's food and grass?"
"madness!"
While wiping the water droplets on his body, Feng An appraised 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. Feng Hun is the eldest son of Feng's family, but he died early, otherwise it would not be Feng An's turn to be the head of the family. For the elder nephew left behind by the elder brother, Feng An is still good, and he has been with him all the time. He also asked Feng You to be the governor of Panzhou before.
"The **** bull is still very famous among the Wuling Barbarians. He is brave, tough and able to fight. He now has more than 20,000 men under his command, and Cao Wuzheng secretly supports him. Although Qin Lang captured Yan Pass, his subordinates are also It's just some impromptu cobbled together, it may not be able to beat the **** 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 used to have a strict security check, 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 it up. We will personally **** Qin Lang's food and grass there." Feng An 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.
Qin Lang probably already understood why he suddenly fell ill in Hengyang in Yanguan at this moment, and he is probably already a little 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 was here 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 is on the southwestern coast of Lingdong, but the Feng family has been operating in Lingnan for two hundred years, so why didn't he plant some hidden eyeliner under other forces in Lingnan?
Cao Wuzheng wanted to clean up Qin Lang and incite 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 he said he was sick.
Now it seems that Qin Lang is still a little too underestimated after all.
This person is not only famous in the Central Plains, but also in this southern country, the prestige is also undiminished.
······
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 3,000 tribal warriors from various tribes, all of whom are elites who can fly cliffs and climb walls, and are good at climbing 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 **** 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 go down the mountain and cliff from both sides.
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 feint, and the real ultimate move was the two groups of men on the two wings.
He intends to come to a magic soldier.
Although the two sides of Phoenix Mountain and Lion Mountain are very steep, full of towering 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 Horde.
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.
In the past, they occupied the fertile flat land and lived by the water. Later, they were driven into the deep mountains, and then even the flat land in the mountains was taken away. 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 spread the rumor 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 of Yuechengling gathered more than 20,000 people, and many villages came out in full force, and everyone was fighting for themselves.
The last time we were so united, it must have been a hundred years ago, right?
And he, the **** bull, is now trusted by everyone and elected as the leader. He is proud of it and feels a great responsibility.
Three thousand elites are in front, and the **** cow is leading 20,000 people behind.
Da Hei Niu did not send anyone to stay 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 are, they no longer belong to the mountain people. They have long been accustomed to living in the mountains, and he knows better that the Han people will never allow them to reoccupy the flat land under 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 service.
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 is to capture Qin Lang, the son-in-law of the emperor, alive, and negotiate terms with the emperor. As long as the conditions agree with their request, they can release the son-in-law of the emperor, and then retreat to the mountains and return to their past lives.
Of course, many mountain people in the village want to take the opportunity to grab two, and find some grievances with the Han people, and Da Hei Niu also understands.
In order to capture Qin Lang, he must break through the strict barrier.
Da Hei Niu 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 a gun in their mouth and straw sandals on their feet, silently.
But all this did not escape Feng Shan's eyes.
Qin Lang dispatched several teams of light cavalry to guard and reconnaissance long after he captured Yanguan.
When the forward of the **** bull was only within 20 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 are running back and forth, bringing back the latest news one by one.
"The vanguard has three teams, each with a thousand men."
"The army of barbarians followed closely behind. They were all black and full of people. It is estimated that they were all out."
Yanguanli.
At this time, there were more than 8,000 people.
The knights from Chang'an were not frightened when they heard that 20,000 to 30,000 savages were 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.
Besides, 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 **** 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 just right 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.
