Although the cliff is still more than a thousand meters away from Nanman's grain and grass, at this distance, Zhou Tong feels that it is unlikely to light the grain and grass.
But at such a long distance, at least there is no danger.
Moreover, Jia Huan is good at creating miracles. Before this, he had made the impossible possible many times and created miracles many times.
Maybe this time, a miracle can be created.
And once the food and grass of the Southern Barbarians are really burned, the Southern Barbarians will inevitably fall into passivity.
Next, they are bound to transport a large amount of grain and grass from their homeland.
The Xia army could make various arrangements around the Nanman's routes for transporting grain and grass.
All in all, this is a raid worth trying.
The next day, Jia Huan personally led the troops and led five thousand Red Flame troops straight to the cliff.
Not long after, they came to the cliff.
This time, to burn down the Nanman's food and grass, only about a thousand soldiers would be enough.
The remaining four thousand people are used to protect these one thousand soldiers and the rear.
At this time, under the cliff, tens of thousands of southern barbarian troops were also ready to attack.
The Nanman generals asked for a battle one after another, wanting to lead their troops to attack, bypass the cliff, and attack the Xia army on the cliff.
However, these requests were flatly rejected by the Barbarian King Meng Lu.
He was already prepared as soon as he arrived, and then he would implement the turtle tactics.
Secondly, he was afraid that if he sent people to attack the Xia army, he might be ambushed by the Xia army.
Although according to the news sent back by the falcon, Xia Jun did not seem to have set up an ambush.
However, Meng Lu was not sure that there was really no ambush.
Now Meng Lu no longer trusts the information sent back by the falcon.
Wasn't the reason why they suffered such big losses the first two times because Xia Jun successfully deceived them with the information sent back by the falcon?
This time, Meng Lu was ready to continue the retreat policy, but he did not believe that the Xia army could really ignite their food and grass from a thousand meters away.
Meng Lu suspected that Xia Jun must have some conspiracy.
But no matter how many ways you go, I only come one way.
I'll just stand still and see what tricks you can come up with.
Speaking of the cliff, Jia Huan was still worried that the barbarians would send troops to attack them.
Although Jia Huan also has backup plans to deal with it, it will inevitably cause more troubles.
It is naturally the best thing for the barbarian soldiers to stand still.
Next, Jia Huan ordered a thousand Red Flame Army soldiers, each holding a mirror, to line up horizontally.
The bottom side should touch the ground, and the top side should stand on a high platform.
More than a thousand soldiers turned small mirrors into a huge mirror.
This huge mirror is not arranged flatly, but is sunk inwards.
And under Jia Huan's command, these Red Flame Army soldiers were adjusting the angle of the mirror little by little.
The barbarian troops below the cliff, including the barbarian king Meng Lu, all felt that Jia Huan was playing tricks, and they all sneered at him.
Even the Red Flame Army, including its deputy general Zhou Tong, was unaware of the force.
They didn't know what their general was going to do.
Could it be that these mirrors could set the Southern Barbarians' grain and grass on fire?
If that's true, it's magic!
They don't believe that Jia Huan really knows magic.
Jia Huan ignored everyone's reaction.
He commanded a thousand Red Flame Army soldiers, constantly adjusting the angle.
A quarter of an hour later, this huge concave mirror finally successfully reflected the beam of light coming from the sun into the middle of the Nanman's grain and grass, and gathered it into a point of light.
Next, Jia Huan ordered all the soldiers to keep their original movements and not move.
As time passed little by little, Jia Huan took out his telescope and carefully looked at the Nanman's grain and grass.
Time passed minute by minute, and not long after, Jia Huan saw wisps of green smoke coming out of the light spots.
Seeing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.
That’s it!
Previously, Jia Huan still had some doubts in his heart. He was not sure that the concave mirror could really ignite grain and grass.
However, when he saw green smoke rising from the grain and grass, Jia Huan felt extremely confident.
Now that there is smoke, is it still far from a fire?
Soon, Jia Huan saw a cluster of flames suddenly jumping out of the smoke.
Immediately afterwards, this cluster of flames grew into a fireball.
Next, the fireball evolved into a brazier.
Grain and herbs are inherently flammable, and the speed of flame burning is too fast.
Soon, the brazier burned into a blazing flame, reaching into the sky.
The raging fire shocked everyone up and down the cliff except Jia Huan.
At this time, they were inexplicably shocked and panicked.
It was really hard for them to imagine what kind of magic Jia Huan had used to set the grain and grass on fire.
This is more than a thousand meters apart. How can the food and grass ignite a raging fire just by looking at it in a mirror?
In such extreme shock, the southern barbarian soldiers forgot to put out the fire for a moment.
The burning speed of grain and grass is so fast.
In an instant, the fire spread all over the sky.
The fiery breath forced the surrounding barbarians to retreat continuously.
At this time, they finally came to their senses, but the fire had already started, and it was very difficult for them to get close, let alone put out the fire.
Countless barbarian soldiers shouted about barbarian gods.
Many barbarian soldiers even knelt on the ground, shouting and kowtow to the barbarian god.
Then, more and more barbarian soldiers knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted "Barbarian God".
The Man God is the creator god in the southern barbarian belief. His status is similar to Lao Tzu in Taoism, Sakyamuni in Buddhism, and Jesus in the West.
In the eyes of these barbarian soldiers, such a magical scene is absolutely impossible for small humans to do. Only the omnipotent barbarian gods can do this.
This must be the Barbarian God manifesting his spirit with the help of that young man.
Although the Barbarian God did not use them, but the young man from Daxia to appear, it was difficult for them to accept it for a while.
But this only shows that they made a mistake in invading Daxia this time.
The Barbarian God used the help of the Daxia boy to reveal his spirit, which was to enlighten them.
In the end, all the barbarian soldiers knelt down to Jia Huan and shouted, "Barbarian God".
In the end, even their barbarian king Meng Lu knelt down.
There will be many barbarian kings, but there is only one barbarian god they believe in.
Jia Huan looked shocked as he looked at the black barbarian soldiers kneeling in front of him.
Mainly because he didn't understand the barbarian language and didn't know that those barbarian soldiers were actually shouting about barbarian gods.
If he could understand the meaning of these two words, Jia Huan would not be so panicked.
He even couldn't help but ask Zhou Tong next to him: "Vice-General Zhou, are these barbarians using any kind of magic? Are they casting some kind of curse? Or witchcraft?"
The barbarian soldiers of the southern barbarians are very talkative, and it is unknown what kind of witchcraft they may use.
At this time, Jia Huan couldn't help but feel terrified.
Zhou Tong, who was next to Jia Huan, said speechlessly: "General, they are kneeling down to worship you, and they are shouting "Barbarian God" in their mouths. They regard you as the god of the Southern Barbarians!"
Jia Huan asked in disbelief: "Really or not? They actually regard me as their Southern Barbarian Barbarian God?"
Jia Huan only felt that this incident was very bizarre, but considering that these barbarians in the wilderness were already acting in a mysterious way, it was not surprising.
And then, under the leadership of the Barbarian King Meng Lu, all the barbarian soldiers kneeled down to Jia Huan at the foot of the cliff, and suddenly slapped their chest with their right hands, making a loud thumping sound.
The noise made by tens of thousands of people together made even the trees on the cliff rustle, which was very spectacular.
They were yelling, but Jia Huan couldn't understand what they were shouting, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong was stunned and translated: "General, they said that the Barbarian God is above, and they are willing to obey the Barbarian God's instructions and follow the Barbarian God's call!"
"They are willing to withdraw from Daxia and accept the punishment of the Barbarian God. As long as the Barbarian God is around, they will never enter Daxia!"
"The Barbarian King Meng Lu is willing to submit a letter of surrender to the Barbarian God in person and accept the Barbarian God's punishment!"
After hearing what Zhou Tong said, Jia Huan didn't think that these barbarians had any serious brain problems, but instinctively felt that the barbarians must be cheating.
He couldn't help but said: "These barbarians must be pretending to surrender. They must be preparing to secretly get rid of me when they accept the surrender. They are really too treacherous."
Zhou Tong took a deep look at Jia Huan and said speechlessly: "General, although the Southern Barbarians are vulgar and arrogant, they attach great importance to their promises and do what they say."
"Especially when they swore an oath to the Barbarian God, there has never been any precedent of breaking their promise."
Is that so? !
If that's the case, doesn't it mean that he solved the Nanman issue casually?
If he had known this, he would have used such methods long ago.
Jia Huan has many similar methods, but they may not necessarily use this one.
But even now, it is a great joy to be able to solve the Nanman problem.
Thanks to the Nanman barbarians for being superstitious enough!
Next, Jia Huan summoned the Southern Barbarian King to the cliff and accepted the Barbarian King's surrender.
Jia Huan definitely would not go to the barbarian army to accept the surrender of the barbarian king, and he would not put himself in danger.
After accepting the surrender of the Man King, Jia Huan temporarily placed the Man King in the military camp.
Next, Jia Huan found Wei Hong.
How to deal with the Nanman people next, Jia Huan needs to listen to Wei Hong's advice.
When the Nanman surrendered, Jia Huan, as a mere pioneer officer, naturally had no right to deal with it.
How to deal with the barbarians must be decided by Your Majesty today.
However, even if it takes 800 miles to rush to deliver the news to the capital, it will take at least eight or nine days to go back and forth.
And how to place the barbarians in these eight or nine days?
How to prevent them from changing?
All these require you to guess how the emperor will deal with the Nanman, so that you can act accordingly.
In terms of guessing the holy will, Jia Huan could never compare with old foxes like Wei Hong.
Wei Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing the news.
He said over and over again: "Okay, okay! My virtuous nephew is indeed worthy of the Wenqu star and is blessed with unparalleled blessings!"
"Hold up a building when it is about to collapse, and turn the tide before it falls. This nephew's achievements are comparable to those of destroying a country!"
"If it weren't for the fact that my nephew is still young and can be granted the title of Duke based on his merits, it is very possible for your Dongfu to have the title of Duke Ning reappear in the world."
"But because my nephew is still young, I'm afraid he won't be granted the title of Duke this time. Otherwise, he may not be able to be granted the title in the future, which is not a good thing. Your Majesty may have to find somewhere else to make up for his loss."
Hearing what Wei Hong said, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Shibo, it's just a reward. My nephew comes here mainly to seek advice from Shibo."
"I wonder what your Majesty will do with these barbarians?"
Wei Hong thought for a while and then said: "These barbarians have always kept their promises. Since they said that if they have a good nephew, they will never take a step into Daxia, so they will definitely keep their word."
"However, this oath was made by the Southern Barbarian King Meng Lu. In order to ensure that the Southern Barbarians will not invade Daxia, this Barbarian King Meng Lu's status must not be shaken."
"Therefore, I guess that instead of punishing the Barbarian King, His Majesty will even confer the title of Barbarian King. Then he will order the Southern Barbarians to pay tribute every year. I guess that is about it."
Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Wei Hong's analysis is basically consistent with Jia Huan's own thoughts.
The court will probably do the same in the end.
After all, the situation in Daxia is currently in crisis, and it is an unexpected surprise that the Barbarian King has surrendered. How could they create another rift?
This made Jia Huan a little unhappy. After all, the Southern Barbarians invaded Daxia, killed tens of thousands of Daxia soldiers, and committed many evil deeds.
If you put down the butcher's knife at this time, you can actually become a Buddha immediately?
But after all, war is just a continuation of politics.
In this situation, there really is no more choice.
Even if it is left to Jia Huan to deal with it, I'm afraid it can only be like this.
After thinking about this, Jia Huan wrote a memorial and reported it to Emperor Chongkang. At the same time, he first asked the barbarian king to lead the barbarian soldiers to withdraw from the territory of Daxia.
Jia Huan asked the Man King for a few more falcons.
Don't look at the fact that King Man was tricked by Jia Huan using a falcon to provide him with false information.
In fact, the falcon has a sharp vision and is of great use, but the Barbarian King does not really know how to use the falcon.
But the Man King actually gave Jia Huan three seaweeds.
The sea turtle has a strong physique, and its beak and claws are as hard as iron hooks. It can fly fast and high, and can catch swans, wild ducks, rabbits, roe deer and other animals.
Haidongqing is the ancient Sushen totem, which has the meanings of "the god of eagles", "god's messenger", "the existence closest to god", "god's chosen people", etc.
Although the totem of the Southern Barbarians is not Haidongqing, it also shows how precious Haidongqing is.
Jia Huan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got three seagulls, including one adult seagull and two juvenile seagulls.
The guards were busy feeding her.
After the Southern Barbarians withdrew from Daxia territory, Jia Huan asked Wei Hong and the general soldiers of Yuzhou and Jingzhou to lead troops to take over these areas and maintain order in these areas.
The Red Flame Army only chose one area along the West Sea to garrison.
In fact, the Red Flame Army can do these things.
But the so-called flower sedan is carried by everyone.
This time the military exploits mainly belong to the Red Flame Army. The Red Flame Army eats meat, but at least they have to give others a few bones to chew on.
The soldiers and horses of these three parties have no merit but hard work.
They were able to take over the areas occupied by the Southern Barbarians and maintain order. At any rate, it was considered a military merit and their trip would not be in vain.
The soldiers of these three armies were indeed grateful to Jia Huan, and needless to say.
Let's say that Jia Huan directly led his troops to the edge of the West Sea.
Although this is a small border town along the West Sea, it is actually very prosperous because it is close to the sea and many overseas countries trade here. (End of chapter)
