Chapter 889 Dissatisfied
After the Dragon Boat Festival.
On the south bank of the Red River, a sheepskin raft floated across the river in the dark and approached the shore, and several Hemans jumped ashore. Not long after, they entered a forest on the shore. After a few night owls called, a group of people in the forest came out to meet up. They whispered for a while, and soon pulled out the horse, turned on the horse and galloped away.
Luopandian, Heni Dazhai Lasha.
This Heman Great Village has now become the center of the Nanman. Under the call of Nanman Wuhuang Meng Guzhu, the Heman tribes gathered here one after another, and there are many other tribes, such as the Silver-toothed Man, the Golden-toothed Man, and the White-clothed Man. Man, man with embroidered face, man with embroidered feet, man with pied clothes, etc., many leaders of the tribes led the tribes to come, and they were appointed officials and rewarded, and everyone was happy.
In the village, pigs and cattle are slaughtered every day, and long seats are set up with flowing water for ten miles. It doesn’t matter if there are no tables or tea tables. The pine needles are directly pulled from the mountain and spread on the road. There is no need for plates and dishes, and the plantain leaves are cut directly and spread on the pine needles. The pork and beef stewed in a large pot are taken out and cut into lumps, and then spread on those leaves. The savages squat or sit, and grab it directly with their hands, which is very enjoyable.
There is no seasoning, a little salt is added when the meat is cooked, that's all, and with rice, the barbarians are very happy to eat, a real feast.
With so many savages gathered together, eating and drinking every day is a very large number of consumption.
Although the Dahe Barbarian Kingdom has been established, what to do next, in fact, even the barbarian emperor Meng Guzhen himself is not very clear.
Looking at the lively scene in the village, he was actually very intoxicated and very satisfied.
"Great ghost master, Nong Sanniang is back."
Meng Guzhen frowned, "How many times have I said it? From now on, I have to be called Your Majesty. The Great Ghost Lord is the old name. Also, Nong Sanniang is also called by you? You have to call her Juding King." Your Highness, Marshal Zuo, or Governor Nong, do you remember?"
The barbarian in front of him was obviously not used to this change.
"Why is Sanniang coming back? Isn't she training soldiers and horses?"
Nong Jinhu returned to Lasa from the south bank of the Honghe River in armor, and saw that the village had become a bustling crowd, with people lying drunk and sleeping on the ground everywhere, and shacks built indiscriminately around the village, and even came all the way. I have already encountered several incidents of barbarians fighting and fighting, and it was a mess.
Seeing Meng Guchu, Nong Jinhu said directly, "Qin Lang has gone back to Jiaozhou, and the number of naval warships of the Tang people on Lasha Bama has also decreased significantly recently. I sent people to the other side to inquire about the news and learned that Qin Lang He has already returned to Jiaozhou, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty seems to be about to start a war with Xue Yantuo on the northern grassland and Goguryeo in Liaodong, so he has to send 20,000 elite soldiers from Lingnan to the north, and transfer most of the navy brought by Qin Lang... ··”
Hearing this, Meng Guchen heaved a sigh of relief, and held up his wine glass, "Good news, this way, there is no need to worry that the Tang people will beat Basarama, well, let's call all the tribal leaders tomorrow and let everyone go back to the tribal village , so many people get together, I also have a headache, all day is not fighting, just drinking and making trouble, my Basha is almost becoming a big group..."
Nong Jinhu frowned when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, you can't disband the ministries. On the contrary, the people on the other side of the Tang River are empty right now. It's a good time for us to launch a counterattack. I think we can't dismiss the ministries. On the contrary, we need to step up training and send more scouts across the river to investigate the enemy's situation. After the noise and reality, look for an opportunity to kill them across the river in one fell swoop."
Meng Guzhen was obviously not very interested in this counterattack plan. In the last battle, although 8,000 Jiaozhou elite Tang troops were lucky enough to be wiped out, they suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. The number of casualties made him feel very distressed. Greatly hurt.
Now, as long as people from Tang Dynasty don’t cross the river, he is satisfied. How dare he go across the river to provoke people from Tang Dynasty?
"Don't be in a hurry, I have already sent people to the east of Yunnan to contact Dong Cuan. Cuan Ganfu is also very dissatisfied with the Tang people's pressing every step of the way, and now he is secretly summoning all the ministries to declare war with the Tang people. Let's be quiet Waiting for the right time, when the time comes, the north and the south will echo and attack the Tang people who are connected to the sea together!"
Nong Jinhu has no illusions about Dong Cuan.
"Your Majesty, we are fighting our own battle. King Cuangui of Xicuan gave all his wives to Qin, and Dongcuan may not be really tough. They just want to create momentum to scare the Tang people so that they can negotiate some conditions." That's all, if we want to fight, we will fight ourselves."
"Sanniang, don't be impatient. I know you are in the pain of bereavement, and you can't go back to your homeland, but why don't you want to go back to the Nongren River? It's just that we have suffered a lot under the hands of the Tang people, and we have to learn a lesson. Before you have enough strength, you must not be impulsive anymore."
Meng Guzhen looked around, saw no one around, nodded, "That's right, I was indeed frightened by the Tang people, thousands of young and strong fell down in pieces like that, The blood stained the Nongren River red, and that scene often still reappears in my sleep, which makes me wake up in my sleep. Anon, we have all experienced big defeats and suffered pain, but we must face up to what we have with each other. We don’t have the strength to challenge them now, so we might as well bear the humiliation here in Jiangnan for the time being, rest in peace, and when the time is right in the future, it won’t be too late to counterattack.”
Nong Jinhu took a closer look at the barbarian emperor who had just proclaimed himself emperor, and found that he was indeed much older. Under the gorgeous embroidered dragon robe, he was an old man with no ambitions anymore. She doubted that if Meng Guzhen was given a chance to choose again on the day of the **** battle at the Nongren River, would he still have the guts to lead eight hundred Qingqi into the formation of eight thousand Tang people again.
Nong Jinhu shook his head.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
"Your Majesty, I have fought against the Tang people many times, and I have even been defeated repeatedly, but I have also been defeated repeatedly. No one knows the Tang people better than me. After fighting so many battles, I am also in awe of the Tang people, even a little scared They, but even today, I have never obeyed them."
"Don't be afraid of losing a battle. What you're afraid of is that you don't have the courage to fight again. As long as you have the last breath, you will fight to the end. Although the Tang people are strong, they are not made of iron. The Tang people will have weaknesses and flaws. Just like now, they The Duke of Wei, Qin Lang, who was known as the God of War, returned to Jiaozhou. He heard that he would return to Guangzhou soon. He would continue to serve as the economic envoy of the Three Cantons and Nine Prefectures in Lingnan, as well as the governor and governor of Guangzhou. The center of his jurisdiction was Guangdong Road. For our side, it was beyond our reach. This passage to the sea was a piece of meat he forcibly cut off from Yunnan Dao, and now it is entrusted to Guangnan Dao. A Cheng Chumo will continue to serve as the governor of Tonghai!"
"Although Cheng Chumo was also very brave in battle, he never had the ability to control a party like Qin Lang. Now that Qin Lang and many Tang troops have withdrawn, Tonghai Town is in a period of emptiness. If we can't seize this opportunity to fight After a big victory and a turnaround, do we really have to wait until they have secured access to the sea before aggressively invading the south?"
"Your Majesty, although all the ministries are very happy to come to Lasha to meet you and respect you as the emperor, how many of them sincerely respect and believe in His Majesty? We are offering them food and drink now, High officials and honorable titles reward them, of course they are also happy to honor you, but if the Tang people come to attack in the future, will they unite with us and fight to the end? Or will they be scattered when it comes to it?"
"Your Majesty, please believe me, let me select the elites of the various ministries, cut wood and build ships, train soldiers and horses, and kill them across the river as soon as possible. If we start here, as long as we win a few battles by then, maybe the vacillating Cuan Gan will be blessed." Let's raise our troops!"
Although the Nanman Kingdom has been established, to Zhuman, there seems to be no difference between the Nanman Kingdom or the tribal alliance. Anyway, life is as usual.
Nong Jinhu can feel the current state of the barbarian tribes on the south bank of Basarama. In fact, few of them really dare to fight against the Tang people. These tribes are scattered and not really organized at all.
If you really want to gather them into a barbarian country, you can't just rely on food and drink, you have to go through the tempering of iron and fire, you have to organize them to fight against the Tang people, and you have to win. Population, wealth and goods will really stimulate their fighting spirit at that time.
There are enough interests to drive them. After fighting with the Tang people for a long time, after both sides have formed a blood feud, they will not be able to stop if they want to.
Nong Jinhu has long made a blood oath that he will fight the Tang people to the end in this life.
She will never be satisfied with staying on the south bank of Basarama and rebuilding her homeland in this strange land. She must fight back to the banks of the Nongren River and restore the Juding Kingdom.
However.
Meng Guji is old after all, he is afraid.
Although he claimed to be a descendant of Meng Huo during the Three Kingdoms period, and also a descendant of the eight major surnames in Nanzhong, he did not have the courage of Meng Huo to capture seven times but still be able to fight again seven times.
If the Tang people don't come to beat him, he doesn't want to fight anymore.
"Anon, the Lasha Bama River is now swollen, and many boats are needed to cross the river. We don't have so many boats now. It takes time to build boats, and we don't have many craftsmen who build boats. Also, although there are many ministries, we have not yet How can integrated training be brought to the battlefield?"
"And after the last **** battle at the Nongren River, our Meng clan and your Juding clan are now seriously injured. Now we have seized Luopandian's family property by surprise attack, but in fact, some people are very dissatisfied. If we Now that we have crossed the river again, who can guarantee that there will be no fire in the backyard? Have you ever thought about it, if we cross the river, there will be chaos in the rear, and there will be no place to stand, our families, women, children, old and young , will become someone else's slave, have you considered these?"
Nong Jinhu is very stubborn.
"Your Majesty can sit in Lasha, and I will command the troops to cross the river to counterattack, as long as your Majesty gives me an order to command the troops."
"What are your chances of winning?"
"Great chance!"
