    Cao Shi asked: "Two kings of Dian?" The strong man from the Gouding tribe said in Chu language: "King Yelang calls himself King of Dian. Only in Yelang country, the title of King of Dian is occasionally used.  Another Dian king is recognized as the Dian king. This Dian king is a descendant of Chu general Zhuang Qi. The current Dian king is named Changqiang. " "Oh, there is also this tortuous story. The descendants of the Chu people also blossomed by the Dian Lake.  "Chen Wushang shook his head: "They have become barbarians, and they may not even know a few words in the Chu language after being isolated for a long time." The southern army officers believed that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, everything south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River belongs to Chu.  In the land, the legend of Wu and Yue has long been wiped out by the powerful Chu State. Even the Song State of Zhengshuo, the ancestral merchant of the Chu people, still did not escape the Chu people's annexation.  Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the only two countries that can make the people of Chu feel afraid are the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin State in the Warring States Period. Those two brutal and powerful enemies gave the Chu people a headache. One of them destroyed Chu.  country.  The Han people not only inherited the excellent genes of the Chu people, but also inherited the powerful cultural system of the Qin people, and gathered the excellent genes of the two Warring States overlords Qin and Chu. How proud the Han people living in this era are.  Every soldier in the Southern Army is proud to be a Chu native. Chu language is the most orthodox southern Mandarin language after Yayan, so much so that even the Emperor of the Han Empire, the kings, princes, and officials all speak Chu language.  Cao Shi's Chu dialect was very standard. It was all practiced in Chang'an City. The old princes never spoke ancient elegant dialects, so when he opened his mouth, he must speak Chu dialect with a strong dialect flavor.  Standing opposite them were the Gouding Man tribe, which boasted of Chu culture.  It is very difficult to speak even a few sentences in Chu language, not to mention that the descendants of the Chu people, who had cut off contact with each other for more than a hundred years, quickly became barbarians.  Captain Xunfang mocked: "King Jinzhu of Yelang is fanning the flames everywhere. He thinks that Shu is a soft persimmon that is easy to bully. He is so courageous." Captain Li You squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "You don't overestimate your capabilities." Yelang people are holding back.  Bad, since the establishment of the Yelang Alliance, they have repeatedly expanded eastward and invaded north, and suffered a bloody blow. Either they were taken care of by the Chu people and couldn't take care of themselves, or they were scared by the Qin people and dared not go out of the mountains and forests. Their confidence was hit repeatedly.  Almost gone.  It happened that a weak and incompetent Han army appeared, and the Yelang people who were full of Ah Q's spirit began to be crooked.  We can also defeat the Han people and become the overlord of the south, maybe the next Chu country.  The next overlord of Qin.  Everything depends on people. If you don¡¯t do it, how will you know that you are not good?  Adhering to the fine style of not being afraid of failure or sacrifice, Yelang people embarked on a road of no return.  Cao Shi looked calm and unmoved.  In his impression.  There is only one idiom in Yelang Kingdom: "Yelang is arrogant", which is similar to the metaphor of the frog in the well. Anyway, it is a small country in the mountains and ravines who claims to be a big country. It likes to ask who is bigger, Han or me, and mocks "Yelang is arrogant" in front of the envoys of King Yelang.  Although it is a bit excessive, the evaluation is very fair. They are very arrogant.  Only an arrogant person would have such unreasonable thoughts and gather hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers to attack Shuzhong. Only an arrogant man could come up with such nonsense.  A person with a normal mental level would still have to inquire for information and weigh his own level before taking action. An arrogant person usually wouldn't care about this.  One hundred and thirty thousand armored soldiers is a scary number, but if you ask how many barbarians use iron swords, the conclusion you get will definitely be 0.  The barbarians of the southwestern barbarians are still in the late Bronze Age. The Iron Age of the Han Dynasty has been going on for more than sixty years. There are many pig iron swords with reduced carbon content, and many medium-carbon steels have been produced.  Efforts are being made towards the mass production of medium-carbon steel. The huge difference in weapons represents the gap in the maturity of civilization.  Chen Wushang finished explaining the general form.  The barbarians from the Juding tribe stuttered and said: "Chief Hongteng said he didn't trust the Han people, so he only sent five hundred barbarians. Several other tribes had two hundred or three hundred soldiers. Our barbarian tribe sent out three thousand."  Soldiers, the nine tribes sent out a total of 5,000 barbarians, which did not reach the 10,000 barbarians previously agreed. I am really sorry. " "It doesn't matter. We Han people always fight alone. We are very happy to have allies to help us this time. There are more people.  The general doesn't care much about the small number of soldiers, not to mention that five thousand barbarian soldiers are not small. "The barbarians were very grateful and bowed to thank Cao Shi again and again, making it seem that the barbarians were sorry for Cao Shi.  Chen Wushang and several of his colleagues looked at each other: "General! Why don't we take advantage of the situation and attack the capital of Yelang, capture Jinzhu and force him to admit defeat, and solve this scourge once and for all."  "It's very good." Cao Shi turned to the other side without comment: "Sima Xiu, what do you think?" Captain Sima Xiu was very calm: "The general thinks that Jin Zhu's talents are not enough, and it is difficult to persuade the kings to jointly send troops to invade Shu.  , especially King Qiong, who was familiar with Shu and had always been friendly with the Han family, would neverAgree with Jinzhu's invasion plan. Although our army has 5,000 elite soldiers hiding in the blind spot south of Yelang Kingdom, it is difficult to immediately attack Yelang Kingdom where the army is gathered. The consequences of being surrounded by 100,000 barbarians by accident are unimaginable.  , it is better to stand still and wait for changes, wait for the opportunity to take advantage of a fatal blow, and exchange the smallest loss for the largest result.  "  Not to mention the extraordinary British master, the twenty-two cities in Yelang are still in their own way, and the remote barbarians named Yelang have not seen each other for many years. Jinzhu's wishful thinking is to use Su Qin and Zhang Yi's strategy of uniting Zonglianheng to attack Shu, which is no different.  In dreaming.  " Cao Shi stroked his palm and said in approval: "That's very good. Don't the generals also think highly of King Yelang's plan to unite vertical and horizontal lines?  " " King Yelang is arrogant, ambitious and lacking in talent. He wants to imitate the skills of our ancestors, but he doesn't know that we have the allusion of imitating others and learning to walk in Handan. He is like a monkey wearing a crown, and he doesn't know that he is a clown.  "Sima Xiu showed a smile. All the soldiers burst out laughing when they heard this, and gave thumbs up to praise his talent. While happy, the generals discussed the best time to attack Yelang, and the veterans who had been soldiers for twenty years each  There are various external moves. The Han army's military meeting allowed a reasonable speech. Chen Wushang said: "The final general believes that the Yelang barbarians will definitely use Jian as a breakthrough and enter the Shuzhong Basin along the Yangtze River.  If you choose the right time, you can catch Shu by surprise.  ¡± Every few years, the imperial court will settle a group of new counties. In the past two years, the agenda for establishing counties has been very fast. At most, a new group of border counties will be proposed in two or three years. Qianwei County is one of them. The Yangtze River is the link between Yunnan and Guizhou.  The natural dividing line between the plateau and the Sichuan Basin crosses the Yangtze River from north to south into the plateau mountainous area, and crosses the Yangtze River from south to north into the basin plain. The barbarians in the mountainous area are descendants of the Shennong family, and they are more or less familiar with farming skills.  Naturally, people will be eager to go to the Great Plains, and Yelang people have been eager for two hundred years. Cao Shi applauded and praised: "The generals said it very well. I can see that everyone is well prepared."  " "General, you praise me!"  " Chen Wushang looked at each other and smiled at many captains. The captains of the Southern Army showed off their personal abilities all the time. They wanted to prove to the world that the Southern Army was no less than the Northern Army, and that using the Southern Army as a cavalry general was the right choice.  Wherever there are people, there will be fighting. The tradition of military struggle between the north and the south comes from the Qin Empire. At that time, the elite Qin armies in Guanzhong, Bashu, and Longxi were divided into two armies, the north and the south. They competed with each other to maintain the pursuit of military exploits by the two armies. It was passed down to the Han Empire.  Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang used his wisdom to change the two armies of the North and South from the narrow sense of Guanzhong, Bashu, and Longxi to the Qin people and the Six Kingdoms soldiers, or the difference between the Guanzhong soldiers and the Kwantung soldiers, which amplified the competition.  The various places in Guandong and Guanzhong quickly formed a joint force. Following Liu Bang's southern and northern campaigns, they made great contributions to annihilating the rebellious princes and kings. Today, the Northern Army has an absolute advantage, and the Southern Army soldiers feel very unhappy.  This war is a long-awaited event for the Southern Army. They hope to use the war to maintain their glory and reverse the long-term unfavorable situation of the Southern Army. In front of the sand table, dozens of officers sat around and thought hard.  Lang Guo¡¯s mountainous area: ¡°This is a natural plateau.  It starts from Shiwanda Mountain in the west and borders the Sichuan Basin in the north.  To the east is the Daxue Mountain near Changsha Kingdom, which stretches for thousands of miles and is divided into diagonal branches. Several main passages here have been controlled by various barbarian tribes for a long time. The Yelang people arrogantly thought that they had an absolute advantage, but they ignored the Jiu Ding Jiu in the southern part of the plateau.  The tribe has an important position. Juding and Yelang have been hostile for a long time, and there have been many fierce wars. This time we have the support of the barbarians of Juding and have a safe northward passage directly to the hinterland of Yelang. The strategic purpose of our army is  Use the fastest speed to defeat the psychological defenses of the Yelang people, so you must be fully prepared for this battle. I am fully prepared for this battle. Generals, I will give you ten days to conserve your energy and recharge your batteries.  Raise camp and send out troops in ten days!  " "Here!  ¡± ¡­ The eighth day of the fifth lunar month, the day after the 130,000 Yelang army dispatched troops. The Yelang King¡¯s capital is a giant village with a civil structure. The shape still maintains the common village pattern of the native people, but the scale of the city has become huge.  Ascension, this is a city that can accommodate 50,000 people. Its status is second only to Chengdu, the Pearl of the Southwest. It is an important economic center in the Southwest. The Yelang people have accumulated huge wealth through farming, hunting, war plunder, and tax collection.  Merchants from as far away as Magadha (India) would come here to trade, and Magadha's famous stone honey (brown sugar) was transferred from here to Shuzhong, and then further north to the city of Chang'an in the hinterland of Guanzhong.  )?Min was responsible for today's night watch patrol. Hearing that Shu was going to seize money, food, and women, every Yelang man was actively preparing for war. Unfortunately, he did not select the sixty-six master craftsmen who accompanied the army, and only captured  A dispensable city guarding duty.  Duomin was indignant. He felt that he could be ranked within the top fifty among the masters. Logically speaking, he was the best candidate for the expedition.  Who said he was just a commoner's son? He didn't have the father of a great craftsman, nor the father-in-law of a minister, nor the disciple of a certain national master. His father was a very ordinary barbarian, and he was born stronger than other children.  It took hard work and a little bit of luck to get where I am today.  "Go, everyone, get up. Before leaving, the king told you to guard the capital without any mistakes. We can't let the surrounding barbarians think that our Yelang Kingdom is empty and unprepared. Please cheer up." Yelang's guards are from  Ordinary family members were barbarians. Not getting the chance to expedition to Shuzhong meant that they would lose the qualifications to distribute the spoils. The barbarian soldiers guarding the city were demoralized and full of complaints. After being kicked several times, they reluctantly got up and sat around the fire in a daze.  Nights in the mountains are infested with poisonous insects and fierce beasts. Even if the dozens of miles around Yelang King's capital have been combed year after year, there is still no guarantee that there are no wild beasts in the mountains and forests. Often in the middle of the night, you can hear wolves howling, and unknown ones.  The animals roared.  Duomin picked up an unknown taro and threw it into the fire. The crackling flames danced with a trace of heat.  "I haven't been at home for more than ten days. I wonder if grandma's health is okay? Can dad eat enough? How are she and the children doing now?" Wuwuwu!  Duomin¡¯s ears immediately pricked up, and the strange beast¡¯s cry sounded again.  "What kind of wild beast is this? Have you heard it?" The barbarian soldier closed his eyes and took a nap. He opened his eyes wide and looked confused: "I don't know." "You go over and have a look." The barbarian soldier looked very unhappy with a grimace.  Reluctantly: "It's so dark, so there's no need to go there, right? If it's some kind of ferocious beast, our lives will be in vain." Duomin got angry: "Go if you are told to go! If you don't, be careful, my knife is not very good!" "Okay, let's go there.  Look, don't blame us if you can't find it." The barbarians stood up slowly, holding torches and holding inferior short bows and daggers in their hands, and walked towards the dense forest outside the city.  The figures of the barbarians quickly disappeared into the jungle, and they could vaguely hear each other shouting for safety. Duo Min did not dare to relax at all. It would be very difficult to see a group of ferocious beasts in the middle of the night. It would be even worse if it was an ambush from some barbarians.  .  ¡°Quack, quack, quack¡­ chirp, chirp¡­ Strange birds fluttered and flew in the woods. In the eerie night, gradually no sound could be heard in the dense forest.  "What are you doing? Come out quickly!" "Don't think you can get away without talking, come out quickly!" Duomin stood outside the woods and shouted back and forth, looking forward to familiar faces coming out of the woods, even if they just said a few witty words with a playful smile,  He would never hit them, he promised not.  But the woods remain silent.  "What should I do? Do I want to go in and investigate too?" Duo Min swallowed hard and looked around. The residents in the city were still sleeping. The defenders at other posts were also asleep. He was the only one who wanted to see some forest with nothing to do.  There was a strange movement inside, all the barbarian soldiers under his command were gone, and Duo Min was in a dilemma.  "We should go into the forest, this is my responsibility!" Facing the quiet dense forest in the middle of the night, like the mouth of a giant beast that chooses people to eat, Duo Min took a few steps forward and then stepped back.  He became timid and took a few steps back: "No, I should go back and report to the minister of defense." Duomin turned around and walked back, walking faster and faster, as if a wild beast was chasing him, until  The back of his neck hurt, and he fell heavily to the ground. He felt that his strength was constantly being lost, his limbs were twitching, and his whole body was shaking.  Lying on the cold and wet ground, I watched countless red-coated soldiers appear on the edge of the dense forest. They raised their torches and the bright firelight illuminated the big banner.  Duo Min used his last bit of strength to open his eyes wide: "You are the Han army!"
