    Ji Xin left.  Little Ding Gong¡¯s body was cremated, and he hurried away with his ashes. He said that he would bury Ding Gong next to his father, leaving this sad avenger with his last thoughts, realizing his ambition and seeking revenge.  Live and die for revenge.  Wang Meng was also cremated. There were only cremations in the hot and humid tropical rainforest. With all kinds of reluctance, he picked up a box of ashes and left the jungle.  Ding Gong¡¯s reinforcements and the South Vietnamese soldiers arrived belatedly. They received the bad news that Ding Gong¡¯s assassin organization was wiped out.  Leaving the virgin forest and heading north, we met up with the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army who was trudging through Yelang Kingdom.  "Oh! General Chariot and Cavalry, you gave me a good meal. From Chang'an to Huainan Kingdom, and then back to Bashu and over the mountains, our soldiers are exhausted." Zhuang Qingzhai's face was not good, and there were circles under his eyes.  His face was swollen and exhausted.  The situation of the soldiers of the Southern Army is even worse. Although they are carefully selected soldiers from southern counties and counties, most of them only live in the subtropical areas on both sides of the Yangtze River. When they come to the veritable tropical rain forest, they are not accustomed to it and are not accustomed to the acclimatization.  There were quite a few people who suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and got the plague. Fortunately, there were medical officers in the army who took good care of them. When the acclimatization situation worsened in a large area, Yu Qingzhai would order the army to stop for rest and recuperation. They just stumbled forward, still  More than a hundred people died from complications caused by acclimatization.  "If we had been soldiers from the north, the number of people who died would have been several times higher. The weather here is too hot. Han soldiers are not used to eating and drinking, and the climate cannot be tolerated." Cao Shi was deeply touched.  In order to avoid being pursued by the South Vietnamese, he ran to the southwestern part of South Vietnam.  Located next to the seaport of Indochina, the climate there gave him the same feeling as when he went to Phuket in his previous life. His skin had become tanned and rough in just one month, and he might have turned into a brown skin after a few more months.  people.  In the southern part of the world, rice has always been a staple food, but the Han people do not like to grow rice. In the areas south of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, corn is mostly used as the staple food. The reason is that rice seeds are not good enough to be mass-produced and the nutritional value of rice is very low.  Not as high as corn.  Even though I eat as much, my strength does not increase.  You must eat more to be effective, which virtually increases food consumption.  Regardless of whether the land is north or south, the Han people all eat corn as their staple food, and suddenly they came to Tiannan to eat rice.  My stomach can't stand it.  The body will have adverse reactions.  Bad effects like allergies.  Cao Shi was still worried about Liu Ling's condition. She traveled from Qianzhong County to Shuzhong Mountain on a mountain road far away from Shibapan. Her illness was not healed and she could not bear the repeated tossing.  The medical workers in the army prescribed several prescriptions, but the efficacy is not yet known.  "Huainan King Liu An gave up his hands and handed over the main evidence of the rebellion. The emperor was furious and demoted Huainan King Liu An. Hengshan King Liu was conferred as a commoner. Together with the relatives and family members of Huainan King and Hengshan King, they were sent to live in the imperial manor outside Chang'an City. The emperor agreed  The two families were exempted from corvee for three generations, and the taxes, food and clothing had to be earned by hard work." Cao Shi blinked: "Is this the end of the story for the King of Huainan?" "Yes! Liu An asked for atonement and offered ""  "Hong Lie", I requested to be Dr. Huang Laoxue and serve the emperor in teaching scriptures. The latest news has not been received yet. Maybe the emperor will consider Zong Zheng's opinion and give special permission. " "I thought he would only be demoted to a marquis.  " Zhuang Qingzhai smacked his lips: "It is indeed possible. Although King Huainan's betrayal has been exposed, his repentance is very sincere. His rebellion was also seduced by Ding Gong, which was involved in the public case of Huainan Li Wang Liu Chang's rebellion.  The emperor was under strong pressure from the clan, and the kings of Qi, Chu, and Zhao all wrote letters requesting the emperor to reinstate the two kings as marquises. I estimate that within the next few months, an order will be issued to reinstate the title. " Liu An wants to rebel.  It can't be hidden from people who are interested. When he inherited the throne of Huainan, he shouted to avenge his father. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty did not do anything to Liu An. He hesitated to think about the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu but did not dare to rebel. Liu An was arrested by the Prime Minister and the Internal Affairs Bureau.  After being tied up tightly, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not do anything to Liu An. Now he fell into the hands of the young emperor and was deprived of the throne. If he could not be reinstated as a prince, the princes and kings of the clan would probably be very dissatisfied.  "Marquis Wanhu, I think the emperor will keep him in Chang'an City to prevent Liu An from making small moves in the inner county." "It's almost the same. The number of feudal households of princes will never be less, and the number of princes reduced to princes will not be less than ten thousand.  No matter how small the number of households is, it will make people tremble. "Zhuang Qingzhai has been baptized in politics for a long time, and Cao Shi is not a green figure in politics. He analyzed the emperor's situation thoroughly in a short time.  The princess of Huainan, Liu Ling, has lost her position as the princess. From now on, it is impossible to say that she will be the daughter of a prince. Although the circle of princes and princes is different from that of meritorious princes, the status of both sides is completely equal. Liu Ling wants to pick up the daughter of princes and princes again.  It's impossible to hold him down.  Zhuang Qingzhai led 18,000 county soldiers. The transportation of grain and fodder along the way was purely carried by Bashu civilians on pushcarts. The difficulty of transportation of grain logistics increased with each big building.It becomes even more difficult due to the isolation. Without food to eat, the morale of the army will be scattered. If you want to maintain supplies, you have to find a way on your own. Hunting and gathering can solve some of the problems. There are too many poisonous insects and beasts in the tropical jungle to dare to collect unknown fruits casually. If necessary, please ask the locals.  Only barbarian guides can discern and teach.  The complicated military affairs accumulated just for the sake of food made the guard's head grow bigger.  At this time, the worried King Yelang sent an envoy again.  The envoy of King Yelang said arrogantly: "Han foreign minister! Didn't you say that you have an army of 100,000 men? Why did our king stand at the top of the city and count for a long time? Your army does not even have 100,000 men. Do you know?  What are the consequences of deceiving our king?" Cao Shi looked at the dark and thin barbarian envoy with questions in his eyes.  "This is from King Yelang. He stopped me several times to ask how big the country is, but I ignored him." Cao Shi was startled: "Could it be that Yelang is arrogant?" The envoy of King Yelang's face darkened: "Force  The Han people insulted the great Yelang Kingdom, you wait to meet the wrath of the great Yelang King!" The people left.  "What's going on?" Cao Shi was confused.  "Just like you feel, an arrogant tribal king has issued a war warning to us." Zhuang Qingzhai covered his head and had a headache. Recently, his physical condition was not very good. The northerners suddenly went to the southern tropical rainforest.  Every function of the body transmits pain signals, and people in their forties have a somewhat aging body.  When he spent a lot of effort to find the missing person Cao, he encountered a nasty Yelangguo who issued a challenge. Zhuang Qingzhai really didn't understand whether he had gone out without reading the almanac and had an evil spirit.  Cao Shi did not know the situation of Yelang Kingdom. He was kidnapped and walked eastward along the Yellow River, crossed the Huaihe River and passed through Huainan Kingdom, Hengshan Kingdom, all the way south across the Yangtze River, and crossed the Five Ridges at the border of Changsha Kingdom to the territory of Nanyue Kingdom.  Escape and hide and seek along the Wuling Mountains.  They fled to the jungle southwest of Panyu, then turned around and walked northwest to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.  The front foot escaped from the tiger's mouth, and before he could take a breath, he was greeted by the Yelang Kingdom.  "Is this going to fight?" "You can also turn around and march eastward to Changsha, but it won't be that simple next time." "Then we still have to fight. How many soldiers do you have?" "Eighteen thousand people. They are not accustomed to the climate.  Two thousand people are unable to fight. The morale of the entire army is not high. There are still 30,000 troops in Shu who are staying in Chengdu. There are also more than 5,000 people there who are not acclimatized and cannot fight for the time being." Cao Shi frowned.  The biggest trouble in conquering the south is the huge difference in the water and soil environment. If you suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, your legs and feet will become weak and you can't even hold a weapon. If you go into battle reluctantly, you will only be defeated and bring huge disasters.  In the evening of that day, the Weiwei issued a mobilization order, and the entire army rushed straight to Changsha overnight.  The reaction of the Yelang Kingdom was a little slow. It took three days to realize that the Han army had disappeared. King Yelang flew into a rage: "The cunning and cowardly Han people have escaped! We have been deceived!" "We have been deceived!" "The Han people are despicable.  , deceive the king, deceive us. "The Yelang Kingdom has a four-level aristocratic system of monarch, minister, teacher, and craftsman. The monarch is King Yelang, the ministers are similar to the three princes and nine ministers of the Han Empire, the teachers are wizards and historians, and the craftsmen are grassroots officials.  .  The people standing next to King Yelang are at least cave masters, tribal chiefs, chiefs and other nobles from all over the country. In the grand alliance of Yelang Kingdom, except for King Yelang who calls himself the King of Dian, everyone else has almost the same status.  The big chiefs serve as ministers, the small chiefs serve as minor ministers, and the smaller chiefs can only work as craftsmen. Chiefs and chiefs who are not willing to stand and listen simply withdraw from the alliance and go their own ways.  The fact that the alliance can come and go without restrictions does not mean that the Yelang Alliance is very weak.  There is no doubt that King Yelang is the most powerful chief in the alliance and can enjoy the special title of king. The Kingdom of Yelang has experienced four dynasties, and it has been passed down to the era of the Jinzhu Dynasty. King Yelang, who has inherited the title of Jinzhu from generation to generation, is a  The middle-aged man who is over forty years old was once a powerful man that people looked up to in the Yelang Kingdom and even in the southwestern barbarians when he was young.  But people will always age. King Jinzhu, who was once as strong as an ox fighting a leopard with his bare hands, has transformed into an old man over fifty. His strong body has become shriveled and emaciated, his face is as dark as a piece of ebony, and his words are dry and dry.  A dry well.  "The Han people deceived me, take revenge on them!" "Retaliate on them!" "Destroy the Han people and steal their food and women!" The minister who assisted the government took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, the Han people are not as powerful as you imagined. The Han people's minister is a lover.  Incompetent people are talking big words, and the warriors of the Han people will only run away. We might as well take the opportunity to break into Shu and seize the plains. " Yelang Kingdom is a strong power in the southwestern barbarians. When it was strong, it could command the southwestern barbarians and even the Indochina Peninsula.There are many barbarians who claim to be able to compete with the Chu Dynasty. The Yelang people have always been very proud, but they are a little lacking in confidence in front of the Central Plains Dynasty. The King of Chu sent troops to destroy Qielan, and the frightened King Yelang quickly sent Gan to surrender to Jiwei.  The Qin people destroyed Chu and then crawled at the feet of the Qin Empire. They were timid towards the strong in their bones. They were afraid of the powerful Qin Empire sweeping across the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The simple barbarians were no match for the Qin people.  Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty soon perished, but unfortunately the Han Dynasty was established again.  It didn't take long for King Yelang to be happy and found that he had accomplished nothing. The Han Empire was not inferior to the Qin people. They ferociously and cruelly defeated the Yelang people's misguided invasion of Shu. The hanged corpses of the Huns frightened the southwestern Yi.  From then on, no one dared to take advantage of the Han Empire, and the two sides lived in peace and harmony for sixty years.  It was not until this time that Yelang was shocked to realize that the Han people were weak and could be bullied, and the fear in their bones gradually faded away. The instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong began to rise, and they could not help but have unreasonable thoughts about the colorful world of the Han.  Yelang's heart was moved.  King Yelang was very happy: "Okay! Let's take the opportunity to capture the center of Shu and live in the colorful world of the Han people!" A few days later, the southern part of Yelang Kingdom was adjacent to the border of South Vietnam, which was the traditional territory of Juding, a barbarian tribe.  Gomachi is an alliance of nine tribes. The strongest tribe is the tribe surrounded by red vines. The barbarian tribe that helped Cao Shi happened to be one of the nine tribes.  A camp was set up in front of an open area adjacent to the valley river. The camp hung a red and black flag with a big "Han" character written on it.  There were 5,000 Southern Army partial divisions stationed here. Cao Shi strongly requested that the Southern Army separate 5,000 elite troops and hand them over to his personal command, on the grounds that they would make up for their efforts in solving the crisis in Yelang Kingdom.  Zhuang Qingzhai led 13,000 Southern troops to evacuate to the territory of Changsha to rest and recuperate. This could not only induce the Yelang people to relax their vigilance, but also leave Cao Shi with 5,000 elite soldiers who could fight, as well as enough food and medicine for three months.  and arrows and other supplies.  There is a simple clay sand table in the temporary war room.  The large and small mountainous areas on the sand table are covered with moss, representing each mountain valley, as well as the nearby roads and trails with a radius of 500 miles. The lifelike creation is breathtaking.  Surprisingly, Cao Shi was not the maker of the sand table. The real operator was the arrogant little barbarian. He was the little guy carrying the steel knife last time.  Standing on the left and right of the tent were dozens of officers and several feathered barbarian warriors, staring at the strange sand table in a daze.  The officers wore silk underwear and burlap undershirts. This was a new training uniform issued at the beginning of this year. When the emperor got rich, he immediately improved the treatment of the army. Every year, the standard of winter and summer uniforms issued by the army was raised. Originally,  The silk underwear that could only be worn by captains could also be worn by mid-level officers at the rank of colonel commander. The food standard changed from two meals a day with meat being rare to three meals a day with meaty meat.  The improved treatment has greatly improved the morale of the army, and military appearance and discipline have also been greatly improved.  Cao Shi was sitting in the big tent. The men holding halberds on both sides were as majestic as mountains. The sound of a drum could be heard in the big tent.  The general¡¯s gold seal and purple ribbon are not around, so the standard of the cavalry general will not be lowered by half. The general has the responsibility of opening the palace to conquer the enemy, and the soldiers of the Southern Army will all bow to the cavalry general.  "Greetings to the general!" "Generals rise!" "Here!" Chen Wushang, the captain of the Southern Army, came out. He bowed first and turned around and walked to the sand table. He pointed to the mountainous area of ??Yelang Kingdom and said: "Generals, please listen to my brief introduction.  Current information, today is April 28th, the second year of Jianyuan. Ten days ago, the Yelang people issued a war warning to our army. Seven days ago, there was something unusual in the Yelang Kingdom. Yesterday's latest information, the Yelang people gathered thirteen armored soldiers.  Thousands of people are expected to invade central Sichuan and take Chengdu in half a month. It is known that Yelang King Jinzhu, eight ministers of Yelang, two divisions, six craftsmen, and chiefs of twenty-two cities have been dispatched.  In addition, there were reports of unusual movements from the King of Dian, the King of Kunming, the King of Qiong, the King of Shoumi, and the King of Ailao. King Jinzhu of Yelang has gone to Kunming to personally persuade the southwestern barbarians to jointly send troops."

Most of the modern ethnic minorities in the Southwest are related by blood. The relationship between the Southwest Yi and the Chu State is constantly being cut and confused. Although there are various theories to prove or refute it, it is undeniable that the Chu  The culture is the dominant civilization in the south. The Chu people are a mixture of descendants of the Xiong family and the Shang king.  Interesting.
