"I'll wait and pay my respects to His Highness, Your Highness for a thousand years!"
Although he already knew that he would be summoned by Liu Chan, when Sheng Jin actually came in front of Liu Chan, he was still extremely excited.
His red cheeks, clenched fists, and violent chest heaving all showed how uneasy he felt inside.
"Tuwumu has met His Highness."
Tuwumu, the son of a powerful chieftain in Lancheng County, crossed his right hand to his chest and performed a barbarian etiquette on Liu Chan.
He spoke Chinese a bit awkwardly, with a heavy accent, but fortunately he could still understand the meaning of his words.
"I summoned you here today to see your wisdom and bravery."
Liu Chan smiled softly and said, "Give me a seat and wine!"
He waved his hand gently, and a waiter immediately arranged cushions and food in front of the pavilion.
There was no food or wine on the table, but there was a glass of hot wine.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the wine."
He held a glass of hot wine in his hand, which felt warm.
Tuwumu picked up the wine glass and drank the hot wine in one gulp. His face showed a happy look, and a little burgundy color appeared on his yellow face.
In winter, after drinking a cup of soju, your whole body will feel warm and comfortable.
Tuwumu also relaxed a lot.
"I am a rough man. My father asked me to come here just to pay homage to His Highness. It would be great if I could stay with His Highness, learn skills, and become rich."
The noble man in front of him was not as old as himself. Although his figure was not thin, compared with his calf-like figure, it was naturally much inferior.
But it was this young man who made everyone in Wuling Man unable to breathe.
"He who has called you here today is to give you wealth and honor. Not only wealth and honor, but also power."
Liu Chan looked at Sheng Jin's eyes gradually brightening, and said with a smile: "I am in Wuling County, and I will not be here for a long time. The remaining troops are only state and county soldiers. Wuxi barbarians have always been arrogant, and someone has to manage them for me."
Manage Wuxi Man?
Wouldn’t this make him the Barbarian King of Wuxi?
but
Tuwumu obviously couldn't turn the corner.
"It's just that Wuxi Barbarian already has a barbarian king. How can I manage Wuxi Barbarian for His Highness?"
"Hahaha."
Liu Chan laughed loudly and said: "The Wuxi Barbarians in the plains are naturally managed by Samoko, but the Wuxi Barbarians in the mountains are unruly and difficult to tame and manage, so they need someone to manage them."
In plain areas, there is indeed a lot of oil and water.
But more Wuxi barbarians are actually in the mountains.
If you can become the barbarian king of the five barbarians in the mountains,
This authority is not much less than that of the current Barbarian King Samoko.
"Sheng Jin is willing to die for His Highness, so that His Highness can control the barbarians in the mountains of Wuling County!"
Sheng Jin had a keen sense of smell and immediately expressed his stance.
Tuwumu realized it later, but he knelt on the ground and said, "Me too!"
"Everyone, get up."
Liu Chanxu gave him a little help, and his expression turned serious at this moment.
"I can hand over such authority to you two, but do you two have the ability to control the barbarians in the Wuxi Mountains of Wuling?"
Are you capable?
Sheng Jin patted his chest and said, "Even if I die, I still have to stabilize the Wuxi Mountain Barbarians for Your Highness!"
Liu Chan shook his head slightly and said, "Just saying it won't work. You have to prove it to me. When I was here, the animals in Wuling County were naturally obedient, but what happens after I leave? How can you control them?"
After listening to Liu Chan's words, Sheng Jin already understood what Liu Chan meant.
"If your Highness has any instructions, please tell me frankly, I will definitely take care of it!"
This is the certificate of submission, and it is also the time to prove your strength.
"The barbarians of the Chenyang Du clan did not respect my orders and killed the officials I sent. Now they are entrenched in Chenyang, with a number of four to five thousand. If you two can deal with the barbarians of the Chenyang Du clan, I will believe that you will be the best in the future. It can stabilize the power of the barbarians in the mountains of Wuling County."
Chenyang Du's barbarian?
In Wuling County, this family was the most powerful, second only to the Barbarian King Samoko.
Otherwise, he would not dare to be so unruly.
Sheng Jin did the math.
His Yuanling family can draw 2,000 barbarian soldiers, and Tuwumu's family can draw 2,500 barbarian soldiers. Together, their military strength is not much worse than that of Chenyang Du's barbarians.
But with the same force, if you want to win.
This is to test your ability.
"Don't worry, I will let Ah Hui Nan lead the Wudang flying army of 3,000 people to hold the formation for you from behind and cut off your escape. You can go and fight to your heart's content!"
Wudang Feijun has a garrison in Wuling, and now that the chaos has been quelled, it can naturally be mobilized.
If three thousand people are added, they will still be the elite of the Wudang Flying Army as rumored.
Sheng Xing beat his chest with his right hand and said immediately: "That matter should not be delayed. Let's go to Yuanling now to recruit soldiers and horses!"
This is His Highness's test of his abilities.
The test was successful.
Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, endorsed it behind his back.
The future power in Wuling County will be on par with the Barbarian King Samoko.
His Sheng family is about to rise completely in Wuling County!
"Your Highness, I also resigned!"
Seeing that the two men were full of fighting spirit, Liu Chan nodded slightly.
These two losers should still have some abilities.
When looking for a henchman, you can't be too capable, but you can't be completely incapable either.
His ability is too outstanding. If he, the chess player, is behind, he may not be able to suppress the chess piece.
But completely incompetent.
Wouldn't he become the captain of the transportation brigade in future generations?
Delivering food to others?
"What should I do next?"
Guan Yinping stepped forward and asked.
Originally, she wanted to follow the army into the Wuling Mountains.
But when I thought about being away from Liu Chan for such a long time, I might have another beauty thrust into my side.
No!
No need to plug it.
My little girl is right next to me.
Those who work like firewood may do something treacherous and unethical.
She had to watch from the sidelines to prevent her good husband from going astray!
"Secretly send scouts into Changsha County to find out the situation in Changsha County and the plain area of Wuling County. We can start to measure the land. The unowned land can be reclaimed and used for farming."
The reforms in Wuling County will definitely not be as thorough as those in Nanzhong.
He doesn't have the energy or time now.
But fortunately, Wuling County has a small population and a lot of unclaimed land.
Enclosing these unclaimed lands will be of great use, whether for farming or anything else.
When he entered Jingnan, he still had to solve the worries of the barbarians first.
Just stabilize the four counties.
As for deeper reforms, that will have to be left to the future.
Twenty days later.
Chenyang.
Chenyang means north of Chenshui.
The small walled city was mainly composed of earth, stone and wood.
Standing on the side of the valley, relying on the mountains, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
certainly
Compared with the Central Plains Fortress, this so-called Chenyang Walled City is like paper.
In the barbarian city.
"Brother, you shouldn't have disobeyed the orders of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong. I heard that he has already sent a large army to suppress us and others. He is the man who defeated a hundred thousand troops from Jiangdong. Our Chenyang Du clan is definitely not him. opponent!"
When it comes to defeating Cao Wei's army, Wuling Man did not know the strength of Cao's army.
But they knew the strength of Jiangdong's army.
After all, Wuling County had been pinched by Jiangdong several times before, and now it was still afraid of Jiangdong's Han army.
Facing an army that could defeat Jiangdong's army, they simply could not think of resisting.
Duzhi nodded.
"The Crown Prince of Hanzhong must not be an enemy. He is preparing to retreat and transport food and supplies to the mountains. I don't believe it anymore. Is this Crown Prince of Hanzhong going to stay in Wuling County for the rest of his life?"
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is tired, we fight!
I can't beat you head-on, but you still have the ability to harass me.
That night.
There was no moon or stars, and the sky was very dark.
Huhuhu~
There is only the howling wind in the mountains and the falling snow.
On the mountain north of Chenyang, there is already a pair of eyes staring at the village.
It was dark inside the cottage, with a weak bonfire casting a flickering light, illuminating several simple thatched huts and wooden fences.
The biting cold wind blew through the woods, carrying snowflakes and whistling through the woods, making a low whistling sound.
The outer walls of barbarian villages are made of tree trunks and earth blocks, which look rough and primitive.
The guards at the entrance stood in the sentry box, wearing animal skins and holding spears, patrolling the surroundings vigilantly. Their eyes were cunning and fierce, giving off a wild aura.
Deep beast roars and hoarse shouts came from the village, as if wild beasts were roaring in the dark, exuding ferocity and majesty.
Occasionally, there were a few sounds of metal collision, which seemed to be barbarian warriors training or repairing weapons.
"Ready to attack?"
Sheng Jin shook his head.
"The news has been released. Duzhi will not dare to defend the city. When he leaves Chenyang Walled City, I will make a dumpling for him."
really!
Just as Sheng Jin expected.
Under the cover of night, Chenyang's barbarian army quietly evacuated from the stronghold with precious food, grass and baggage, escaping into the darkness.
They walked along hidden paths, their figures hidden in the dense woods. Every barbarian soldier moves carefully, trying to minimize his traces and noises so as not to attract the enemy's attention.
The night was dark, dark clouds obscured the sun, and a thin layer of white footprints were left on the snow. The pace of the barbarian army was light and swift. They silently passed through the valleys and rugged ridges swallowed by the wind and snow, marching forward with the slight sound of snowflakes.
Behind the cottage, the bonfire left behind gradually extinguished like the embers of last night. But now, with the withdrawal of the barbarian army, this village has been swallowed up by the mountains again, restoring its original tranquility.
The night covered their whereabouts and the snow buried their footprints. They were like a shadow, drifting away and gradually blending into the darkness.
However, this shadow has been caught by Sheng Jin!
