"The god is angry..."
"The thunder and fire descended from the sky..."
"That's even the war elephant is afraid... God's condemnation..."
The ignorance, ignorance and superstition from the wild, naturally brewing and exerting a huge chain reaction at this moment. It's like most things in history that will not be understandable, and it boils down to the mysterious power, which is constantly spreading and accelerating the collapse and chaos of the various troops from the Nishihara barbarian.
And in the state city of Fengzhou (now Nanfengzhou, Baihe County, Vinh Phu Province, Vietnam), which was withered and dead. Wei Jizong, the master of Nanlin Cave, and Huang Er, the master of Jiangxia Cave with a sad expression, were facing the coveted faces. Together with them was the frustrated guard of the 15th village, Luo Apu. Their respective moods and thoughts at this moment are also different.
As for Luo Apu, who was born as a slave and everything is tied to the head of the head, the news of Luo's defeat is as if the sky has fallen, making him at a loss and anxiously lost his opinion. . At the beginning, he spent several days of work and killed and injured nearly a thousand people. He was not able to lay down a small Donghe defense. Naturally, he would not miss the decisive battle of the Luo family.
Then he spared no effort to drive down these men and horses. He had already broken a few gaps and was about to seize this stronghold. However, he saw the ruined soldiers who had fled in front of him and was shocked to hear the news that the main formation had been defeated. Then his men The Fifteen Villages didn't fight on the spot and ran away most of the night. In the end, he was the only one who took the No.100 Luo's Cave Ding and retreated into Fengzhou City in a panic.
Wei Jizong, the master of Nanlin Cave, with a pale face, had a much more complicated mentality than him. As far as the peripheral surnames of some in-laws are concerned and the trend of subsequent benefits, he certainly does not want to see his high hopes for Luo's southern expedition, but stopped here because of this defeat, instead of being able to capture more of the population. Property
But in the bottom of my heart, there was not a trace of joy and faint relief. After this big defeat, most of Roche’s vitality might be severely injured, and he fell from the position of leader of the five-hole Baizhai; this is the natural shortcomings and shortcomings of most of the new generations with relatively shallow background, but It might not have been his chance at Nanlindong. At least he still preserved most of his strength and integrity, and he could also take the opportunity to rise in Roche's power structure; or he could stand on his own as a small branch of Wei's remote sect.
As for the sad expression of Jiangxiadong's master, Huang Er's mind is much more straightforward, and even more relieved and relieved. He was originally the most powerful part of the Huang family among the Nishihara mansions. He was introduced to test the water and spy on the Han land. Even most of the caves under his hand are not owned by the cave, even if it is lost. Distressed existence.
As the main force in the rebellion and rebellion among the Nishihara barbarians in history, most of the major branches of the Huang family were also the most severely attacked and suppressed, divided, and provoked by the court officials in the past; so many branches including the Zong family were the same. Weakness, and continued to weaken amid continuous strife and internal fighting.
Although most of the branches of the Huang family occupies the relatively mature and densely populated areas suitable for farming along the Zuojiang River and between the mountains; but in addition to the basic production of some food and cloth, as well as the salt, iron and other daily necessities for the people’s livelihood. The use of materials is scarce, but it is through the service of softness and sincerity to the nearby local government, and even the outgoing staff as conscripts; in order to obtain the opportunity to be allowed to open trades outside the mountains and on the riverside.
Therefore, it is easy to turn the riverside and off-mountain sites into a certain sense of competition and internal contradictions. If it is those tribes who have had antipathy in history, it will be even worse if they are blocked and banned. They can only get high-priced materials by turning three or four hands from other tribes that are friendly to the government; and this is also the name of Roche. One of the important reasons and reasons for the successive rise of the family surnames passed down.
They relied on the business of changing hands between the Han and the Chinese, sucking blood on most of the declining veterans and growing up; in the end, they defeated the ten-hole and seventy-nine-zhai coalition forces formed by the Huang clan in the conflict of interest in the unbearable conflict plan. After that, he obtained the qualification and status known as the majority of Roche.
As one of the price and condition of defeat, even one of the main sects of Jiangxiadong’s master Huang Er was unable to protect him from encroachment and annexation among clans, and was forced to submit to most of Luo's clan in the end. His status as a vassal, ceded his tribe and made indemnities to keep his identity and authority as the master of the cave.
For him, if Roche wins, Huang's desire to obtain the corresponding benefits will be a matter of the future; and the benefits that their peripheral vassals can obtain are only some wealth and population; it will be better than those who are forced to The native tribes entrained along the way are better.
However, if Roche was defeated and lost, this is also an opportunity to get rid of the squeeze and persecution of Roche by most of the emerging clans; because if he does not come to participate in this southward conquest, perhaps under the in-depth and co-opted from Roche, his own Jiangxiadong no longer has the surname Huang. Therefore, he had more plans to ensure that all the people returned to the mountains of Dehua Prefecture (now Hekou Yao Autonomous County, Yunnan), and waited for the opportunity to get rid of Roche's restraint and influence.
It's just that they have been unable to make a decision to lead their troops to leave. They were worried and a little stubborn for a while, but it was something in this Fengzhou state city.
It was originally planned that after handing over to the city, everyone divided the territory and went to work as the governors and generals of Weifu's self-study, and enslaved the Hans on this prosperous and prolific plain, and enjoyed the comfort and wealth of the Hans. , I don’t have to miss life in the mountains.
Therefore, after the mountains where Luo's army was gathered in this state city, the children of heavy wealth and goods looted from various places; also as high as Luo's tribe leader, five lords, six generals, and down to the masters of the caves and dongs. Jiang, Zhaitou, and the old people, where the accumulation of private gains is.
As the Luo Bu, Luo Apu needs these things as his proof of standing, in order to strengthen and consolidate his position in the hearts of the leaders; whether it is Webster’s Nanlin Cave or Huang’s Jiangxia Cave , To be able to get these things, it also means that it is the opportunity for growth and rise.
To transport so many things back to the mountains in the north, it not only requires a lot of manpower and animal power, but also can raise enough ships to transport and utilize the water of the Xidaojiang and Mingjiang (tributaries of the Red River); so it’s just like that. It was delayed.
On the other hand, during the time when the news of the defeat in the southward battle was received, both Huang Er and Wei Jizong were taking the opportunity to gather and merge the Dongding and Zhai soldiers who had fled back to strengthen their own strength; this has not happened rarely. There were several bloody conflicts and murders. But they finally maintained enough restraint and tolerance for each other, and they didn't turn into another rear infighting without fighting and chaos.
In fact, as the two largest forces in the city, they are somewhat afraid of the big leader Luo Fengyi, whose news is still unknown, holding on just in case; they are not very at ease with each other and are wary of each other, so that they did not unite to take advantage of the opportunity. The fire merged with Luo Apu's troops, and instead allowed him to take advantage of the opportunity to gather a group of remnants who were inclined to Luo Bu and call himself the leader.
Although he was on the most vulnerable side, compared with the other two, he was more daring to fight; he was not afraid of disrupting this Fengzhou City, and everyone could only be left out. Therefore, before the threat of the imperial army and horses is really imminent, their inheritance-dividing game and wrangling will continue in this daily life.
Only at the same time, another group of dwarfs were stopped outside the west gate of the city, and a small leader from Nanlindong was responsible for interrogating and checking the current situation.
Because these fledglings are too strong, all of them have muscles, knotted legs and thick arms, just like those members of the bust; in fact, they are also wearing the bucket armor that the bust can only have. And the big cardigan's cage cloth shirt, although everyone was wounded and burnt with smoke or muddy and could not see their faces, they still couldn't conceal the fierce and fierce aura.
In fact, even though they were defeated soldiers who fled back, they still seemed impatient and kind. If they asked for a few more words, they would yell at them. This also made the little boss grammatically scared. They became more and more sure of their identities as bustards; then they decided to introduce them into the city gate to rest for a while and first temporarily stabilize them, and then take the opportunity to report to their own Dongzhu to ask for follow-up treatment.
Then these bustards began to ask for water and food. If the Nanlin Dongding guarding the city gate was a little slow, they would yell at them, and then rushed into them rather rudely. This also made those Shouding who dared not speak under the prestige of the past, became more resentful and dissatisfied. (End of this chapter)
