Suyun Building.
The place where the Nanman tribes stayed was only a few miles away from the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion on the hill could be seen from upstairs.
In the master bedroom, Ban Nai Lie sat on the edge of the bed, worriedly watching Xiangmu Hecha...
At this moment, this arrogant barbarian man had his eyes closed, his breathing was short, and he endured boundless pain.
Ban Naiche sighed helplessly.
In the battle of "Daiqingyuan" that day, Xiangmu Hecha spoke rudely to Qiu Feiyan, but was taught a lesson by the "Ding Ba" Wei Wugui who was hidden in the other side room, and almost smashed Xiangmu Hecha die. In the end, relying on the hidden barbaric lines on his body to finally erupt, he saved a life just now, but he was still seriously injured, several sternums were broken, his internal organs suffered huge damage, and all the bones in his body were cracked. The life-saving barbarian pattern is useless, and the meridians connected to it are also injured... Now I can only lie on the bed and rest, unable to move, let alone go down to the ground and fight with others.
There were whispers outside the door.
Ban Nai Lie got up to go out, saw the warrior in charge of contacting Chongxuanhu, lowered his volume, and asked, "What did Chongxuanhu say?"
"Never back down. Threat us directly, if I don't wait, not only will all the previous agreements be voided, but all of us will stay here, and none of us will be able to go back alive."
Ban Nai cracked a sneer, "With Chong Xuanhu's current strength, he dared to say such big words, it's really wishful thinking... Okay, you go back first. Remember, don't spread this news..."
The warrior nodded yes, bowed and stepped back.
When Ban Nailie returned to the house again, he saw that Xiangmu Hecha had opened his red eyes, was staring at himself, sighed, and said with a gloomy face: "That Chongxuan tiger is really like the high priest." In other words, he is so arrogant that there is nothing to add. At such a critical moment, he still pretended to be a general with us. Not only did he not back down, but he even intensified his threat to us. It is disgusting and ridiculous... "
Xiangmu Hecha tried his best to pull out a smile, and said, "Lao Lie is bothering you. If it wasn't for my brothers trying to be brave this time, I would have been able to help Lie Lao if I was attacked by Wei Wuxie."
Ban Nai shook his hand, "Brother Xiangmuhe, don't say that. You and I are of the same clan. We came here for the same purpose. I should take responsibility.
In this operation, we did not intend to cooperate with Chongxuanhu. According to the high priest's plan, as soon as Chongxuanhu mobilized the frontier troops, our barbarian coalition forces would immediately invade the border and directly occupy the surrounding counties. According to the information received a few days ago, several teams of frontier troops have already set out, and about 150,000 frontier troops have already moved north one after another. That frontier general named Xue Wengong died at an untimely time, otherwise, if he was under the unified command, the 150,000 troops would be wiped out in three days... But it doesn't matter, tomorrow is the planned invasion day of our barbarian army. The remaining frontier troops have almost evacuated in the past few days. Even if Chongxuanhu repents at this time, it will not be so easy for the army retreating north to leave their strong city defenses and try to take them back... Hahaha... "
Ban Naiche laughed, and Xiangmu Hecha who was lying on the couch also responded with a smile, very happy.
Xiangmuhe stroked his chest and calmed his shortness of breath, "The high priest is a good plan. As long as we win the rich land of China's plains, we can recuperate again. In my southern barbarian land, there are thick forests and poisonous miasma everywhere. , There is very little reclaimed land, and with the invasion of the Burmese, life is even more difficult... Oh, by the way, old man, how are the major tribes in the south fighting against the invasion of the Burmese, how is it going?"
Ban Naixie sighed: "The situation is not optimistic. The new generation of Burmese King Bagan is truly outstanding. He not only unified the various tribes of the Burmese, but also conquered all ethnic groups in the south, and fought all the way to the edge of the sea. Go north and attack our barbarian tribes. As forest warriors, our barbarian warriors have never failed to deal with the Chinese army and take advantage of the jungle. A master of hundreds of battles, and well-equipped at the same time, no matter how much our southern barbarian warriors risk their lives, it is difficult to win. In the latest battle, our coalition forces were defeated again, and more than 20,000 warriors died on the battlefield... "
Xiangmu Hecha nodded and said yes, "That's why we must succeed this time. With the fertile land of Yunzhou, it is no problem to support as many people as possible. What's more, our northern tribes did not participate in the southern conquest and preserved their strength. Even if there is a big retreat in the future, the southern tribes merge into the north, and they will inevitably perish. Our two tribes are destined to reap the benefits of this great achievement, and it may even be possible to unify the barbarians again and form a barbarian country, maybe... "
Ban Nai Lie nodded and smiled: "It's not that maybe, in fact, several elders in the clan planned this way, and they also planned to marry several outstanding descendants of our clan, and when the next generation is born, choose the best An excellent descendant, elect him to the throne. This plan has been carried out in secret for more than ten years. It is said that your two sons and one daughter are also in the scope of marriage investigation. Maybe ten or twenty years later, your brother's grandson will be I am the king of the barbarians, hahaha..."
That Xiangmu Hecha was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and his favor towards Ban Naike immediately increased.
"How can I be so lucky." Then Xiangmuhecha looked condensed and said: "Since there is such a possibility, it is better for you and my two families to marry. Whether it is the Banai tribe or my Xiangmuhe tribe, people with the blood of the patriarch, I don't know how many people there are, but among the people who have entered the realm, only you and I have walked the closest. Instead of entrusting the future to others, it is better to hold the future in our own hands... Old man, what do you think?"
Ban Nai Lie was startled immediately, and immediately stepped forward to grab Xiangmu Hecha's hands, and said, "That's how it is—"
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and laughed together.
…
In the south of Yunzhou, outside Dingman City, the frontier army camp.
Wang Boying was very excited at this time, and the whip in his hand was slapped by him.
Since Xue Wengong, the general of the frontier army "General Dingnan", was assassinated, he filled in himself as "General Presumed Nan", the so-called interim "General Dingnan", responsible for transferring the frontier army back to Jingnan City to fight the rebellion. But in fact, the real purpose is to transfer to the border between Yunzhou and Jingzhou to prevent the imperial army from entering Yunzhou.
Wang Boying is Chongxuanhu's hard-core confidant, and his years of following Chongxuanhu are older than some assassinated generals. As the deputy commander of this frontier army, Wang Boying took over the entire army logically since the commander Xue Wengong was transferred back to Jingnan City. In order to avoid causing unnecessary dissatisfaction, Wang Boying did not immediately transfer all the former battalion-level captains, so as not to cause unnecessary speculation or even turmoil.
The military spirit should be based on stability.
Originally, Wang Boying was considered the old leader of this army, and the mobilization of the army has been very smooth. Unexpectedly, the news of Xue Wengong's assassination and death came, and Wang Boying felt that the entire army suddenly became difficult to control.
Especially after the order to abandon the border defense and return to Jingnan City was issued, the battalion-level captains under him immediately became uncontrollable. The order to evacuate should have been issued for four days, and the barracks were sparse. At least eight frontier barracks, more than 50,000 people did not move the place, several reprimands were ineffective, Wang Boying was so angry that he roared almost every day.
This time, Wang Boying finally couldn't stand these school lieutenants anymore, and led dozens of relatives to the "Tiger Bite Camp" station of the frontier army. Wang Boying repelled a patrol soldier who came forward to ask, Waving the horsewhip in his hand, he quickly walked towards the battalion captain's tent, ready for a bloody scolding. If the other party did not mobilize the troops to evacuate, Wang Boying vowed to make the other party look good, and even saved him for violating military orders. its execution.
Three steps and two steps came to the front of the tent, Wang Boying was immediately stopped by two guards guarding the door, "Wait a minute, general, our school captain is..."
"roll-"
Wang Boying was furious in an instant, his true energy burst out suddenly, and he kicked the guard who blocked him, and flew straight into the tent and became a rolling gourd...
Wang Boying's personal guards quickly surrounded the camp to control the situation.
Wang Boying stepped into the tent with strides, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Liu Yi, how dare you disobey the military order..." Wang Boying, who had just stepped into the tent, was immediately stunned, because Liu Yi, the lieutenant of the Tiger Biting Camp, was not the only one in front of him. Nearly a dozen people who were cheering and cheering gathered here. At a glance, Meng Tong, captain of the Huxiao Camp, Cao Dingfang, captain of the Yuanbo Camp, Xu Polu, captain of the Yalang Camp... It seemed that all the captains of the military camp who had not moved Gathering here, I immediately thought that something was wrong, and when I was about to withdraw, a person in the crowd replied: "The deputy commander didn't call down the officials, but came here in person, I don't know why?"
As soon as the crowd moved, a middle-aged officer with a tough figure and a resolute face appeared more and more. It was Liu Yi, the lieutenant of the Tiger Biting Battalion. , and left in a hurry, not knowing what to do?"
As the deputy commander of the army, Wang Boying has always thought highly of himself. Seeing his frivolous words and attitude, he became furious in an instant. Roaring: "Bold Liu Yi, you, a lieutenant colonel, dare to be so arrogant... The army's mobilization order has been issued for seven days, and you have not moved at all. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a clatter outside, and a large group of battalion soldiers surrounded Wang Boying and his personal guards, blocking their way.
Not to be outdone, Wang Boying's personal guards immediately drew their swords to deal with it, and at the same time narrowed the range to guard Wang Boying in the center.
Wang Boying's complexion changed drastically, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Liu Yi, what do you want to do? You don't listen to the military order, you have a private meeting in the camp, and you gather people to make trouble and threaten the superior... Don't you want to rebel?"
"It's not the generals who want to rebel, but you Wang Boying and your master Chongxuanhu, right?"
A non-salty remark came out of the crowd, but it made Wang Boying's face change suddenly, and he shouted sharply: "Which bastard is spreading rumors and making trouble here? Pickled meat with hidden heads and tails? If you have kind, give it to me!" stand out!"
The crowd was surging, and a person walked out slowly, with iron armor piercing his whole body, tall figure, handsome appearance, and a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth. Wang Boying suddenly stood there, pointing at the person coming, trembling voice, unbelievable Said: "You, you you... Xue Wengong?"
It was Xue Wengong, the commander of the 150,000 frontier army in Yunzhou, "General Dingnan".
The positions of generals within the imperial court, from top to bottom, the highest ranks are "General", "General Wei", "General Chariots" and "General Hussars", followed by "Front", "Rear", "Left", "Right", "Sixiang" generals, followed by "Sizheng", "Sizhen", "Siping", "Siding" and the remaining miscellaneous generals.
The imperial court has seldom fought in the past hundred years, so except for the "big generals", "four towns" and "four Ding" generals, the positions of other generals are either vacant, or they only have false names without leading the army.
Although Xue Wengong, as "General Dingnan", led an army alone and commanded 150,000 frontier troops to fight against the Nanman, he was directly under the jurisdiction of Chongxuanhu, "General Zhennan" of Shangfeng. As soon as the transfer order was issued, Xue Wengong went from the army to Jingnan City. In name, he was discussing important military affairs, but in fact he was also participating in the conspiracy of rebellion.
It's just that Xue Wengong was "assassinated" under his nose. Chongxuanhu didn't feel much loss when he was angry. The frontier army relied on Wang Boying, and it was still firmly in his hands...
It's just that the "General Dingnan" who had been "assassinated" reappeared in the barracks at this time, which really shocked Wang Boying. At the same time, he suddenly awakened to the question of why several barracks could not be mobilized.
"It's you? Xue Wengong, it turned out that you were the one who caused the trouble. Aren't you afraid that the general will kill the entire family of you rebels?"
Hahaha…
Xue Wengong and all the generals laughed in unison.
"It's really stupid!" Xue Wengong laughed loudly: "Chongxuanhu can't protect himself. If you serve him and rebel against the imperial court, aren't you afraid that the imperial court will destroy your entire clan?"
Wang Boying was scared out of his wits, and immediately turned around and drew his saber in haste.
The sound of clothes being ripped through the air resounded, Wang Boying looked sideways in amazement, a black shadow leaped up from the crowd, clinging to the scalps of the crowd, and rushing towards him swiftly. In just a moment, Wang Boying realized that the visitor's military uniform was covered with high-quality python leather soft armor instead of the iron armor worn by the generals. The pair of eyes shone with terrifying green flames like a will-o'-the-wisp, showing that the opponent's internal strength did not go the wrong way, which was extremely strange.
Before the person arrived, a strong force of energy had already rushed in. The more than a dozen guards around were caught off guard, and before their weapons could be stabbed, they were forced to the sides by the agitated true energy. Wang Boying's Tianling Gai was grabbed.
Among the generals of the Yunzhou frontier army, Wang Boying can be regarded as a first-class master. Although he is not as good as Xue Wengong, he is above Liu Yi, Cao Dingfang, Meng Tong, Xu Polu and others. When the enemy's claws were still about four feet above his head, he drew out the saber at his waist as quickly as lightning, and drew upwards without hesitation. He can advance and retreat freely, has both offense and defense, and is almost impeccable.
