The only festival that belongs to the poor is the Chinese New Year. On this day, they will breathe a sigh of relief and continue to squeeze their blood and sweat for the coming year. I couldn't understand this sentence before, but now that Liang Chuan thinks about it, he really feels that it is a wise saying!
As the first day of the Lunar New Year passed, apart from the red paper on the floor, the faint smell of sulfur in the air, and the bright red Spring Festival couplets on the wall, no one felt that this was just the Spring Festival.
An extremely bleak and depressing Spring Festival.
There is no TV, no programs, just a pot of stew, it’s the New Year!
In the past few days, Liang Chuan's own house has almost been built. If the beams are put up, and only thatch is needed to cover it, the house will basically be habitable!
I thought I could have my own little nest and live an ordinary and comfortable life.
A group of uninvited guests broke Guangyuan's hard-won peaceful life!
South Vietnam actually sent people to Guangyuan again!
After getting the news, Anon immediately came to Liang Chuan. She knew that these people didn't have any good intentions!
Nong Zhigao did not expect that the South Vietnamese would send people again, and in the form of envoys.
In the past, they would send someone to call directly without any greeting in advance!
This time they came and sent a delegation of fifteen people. This was not a large scale. Compared with sending thousands of people to kill, it was really not that big.
But this scene still shocked Nongren greatly.
Everyone looked at the envoys with anger in their eyes.
The mission was also extremely surprised. They knew that this place was razed to the ground by the South Vietnamese not long ago. In just a short time, they actually re-created a town. Moreover, this place is obviously more prosperous and has a larger population than before. many!
The Nong people looked at this group of South Vietnamese angrily. They did not dare to attack them randomly without the chieftain's order!
The South Vietnamese people only thought that the Nong people's base camp was at the foot of the mountain. They randomly found a few people and asked Nong Zhigao to come out to see them. If Nong Quanfu died, it was natural that his son would inherit the position of chieftain!
The reason why I was killed and left behind was to make him obedient to South Vietnam. However, according to the information they obtained, this kid actually did something they didn't want to see. He immediately got into contact with the Song Dynasty people. Ambiguously together!
It seems that he is really determined to be a thief. This time they are here to hold him accountable. If this kid is stubborn and does not know what to do, he will be greeted by the wrath of the South Vietnamese people again!
They even knew that Nong Zhigao was hiding in the cave where he was captured by the South Vietnamese last time, but they did not want to go up the mountain, and they would not go up the mountain. They had sent a message to the Nong people at the bottom of the mountain to ask Nong Zhigao to come to see them!
Nong Zhigao sat on his chair, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Nong Lie brought the words of the South Vietnamese to him. He was not angry because of hatred, he was unable to sit still because of the unreasonable and arrogant attitude of the South Vietnamese. The South Vietnamese have almost become a disease in his heart, making him depressed and crazy!
'Ahhh! 'The cave has been alerted and ready for war.
Most of the Nong people actually do not want to fight. They pack their luggage and are ready to escape at any time, because they know that when Lennon Quanfu was alive, when the Nong people were most united, they were no match for the South Vietnamese. Now, It is even less likely to be their opponent.
They looked at Nong Zhigao's appearance and felt even more unsure. This kid was already crazy before he was beaten. Could it be that they wanted to follow a madman to die?
'Look, after seeing that our lives have improved, the South Vietnamese are harassing us again. If we don't resist them to the end, they will only become more and more arrogant. As long as they don't stop, do you want to be enslaved by them forever? '
Nong Zhigao burst out with a sharp sound, and the sound echoed in the cave.
Otherwise, the people at the bottom are the easiest to be fooled. Once their needs are stimulated, they will immediately wake up.
For them, what is most important is their home and land.
They have all heard about the policies implemented at the foot of the mountain in Liangchuan. By leasing land to the Han people, they have become landlords and can harvest food without farming. Isn't this life better than that of gods?
Unfortunately, the food had not been collected yet, and the South Vietnamese came first. They put down their luggage, and Nong Zhigao gradually became more and more angry.
'Our ancestors were not the aborigines here at the beginning. They came to this land from the north. According to them, they also shed countless blood to allow us to gain a foothold here. Are you willing to see our children? Like they continue to wander, and we are bullied like wild dogs? '
'I don't want to! 'Nong Ren burst out roaring!
The corners of Nong Zhigao's mouth raised slightly, this was the result he wanted!
'Invite the South Vietnamese here, it's time to let them know the true strength of our Nong people! '
Nong Tong led a group of people down the mountain to reply. The South Vietnamese delegation had been waiting for a long time, and was already very unhappy when they saw people arriving.
'Where's Nong Zhigao, what's your attitude? Do you know how long you kept us waiting? '
Nong Tong changed his normal behavior. In the past, when he saw South Vietnamese people, he would be too polite without greeting their mothers first. Today, he didn't know what medicine he took wrong, but he actually smiled at these South Vietnamese people.
'My lord, our chieftain is waiting for you on the mountain. Please move to the cave! '
'presumptuous! 'The officials headed by the South Vietnamese mission were furious!
'We asked him to go down the mountain, but he actually asked us to go up the mountain to see him. Do you know who we represent? It is Emperor Li Chao! What the hell is Phanong Zhigao? He is still young. He is a little brat who really doesn’t know how high the sky is! '
'How can the emperor kneel down as a minister? How did your chieftain beg our emperor to spare his life in South Vietnam? Go back and ask him if he has forgotten! ' asked another envoy angrily.
This delegation of more than a dozen people is headed by a middle-aged man in his early forties named Ruan Zhong. He is lean and capable. The others are a few years younger and have roughly the same build!
The people from the mission scolded Nong Tong angrily for a long time, but Nong Tong had no choice but to laugh and stay where he was.
Even if these South Vietnamese scolded him to death, he could only carry out Nong Zhigao's orders.
Seeing this, the South Vietnamese people had no choice but to discuss privately: "It seems that Nong Zhigao is afraid of death and dare not go down the mountain. We have a mission. We can't let the small lose the big. We can face Nong Zhigao even if we see him face to face." Ask him, what do you think? '
'Humph, let him be more majestic, let's go, go up the mountain, go up the mountain! '
The mission said to Nong Tong: "You, open the way ahead!" '
Nong Tong led people up the mountain. Anong and Liang Chuan saw this and immediately followed.
After walking on the mountain road for half a day, it was already dusk. The South Vietnamese delegation was getting more and more angry as they walked. They had already figured out that if they wanted to threaten them, they would find out clearly that Nong Zhigao was hiding in the same cave as last time. However, they never expected that he would actually hide in the cave. It's so deep that from dawn to dusk, there are still endless mountains as far as the eye can see.
I thought that these Nong people would welcome their envoys with a grand ceremony. Before departure, everyone in the mission thought that this trip was a good one, with no beauties, wine, and big fish and meat. However, along the way, everyone's hearts became lower and lower. They already felt that this trip was going to be very exciting. difficult.
Contrary to what they imagined, this place was redeveloped in such a fast time. Apart from their tattered clothes, these people did not look like they had suffered a catastrophe!
On their faces, everyone is determined and angry, without the confusion after failure!
No wonder the Nong people can't be killed cleanly, just like cockroaches, they hide in the mountains as soon as the troops are sent over, and when the South Vietnamese retreat, they appear again, over and over again, never ending!
They even thought that fighting with the Nong people for so many years and even killing one of their chieftains should be able to wear down the will of all of them. However, they found that not only were the Nong people not defeated, the anger in their eyes was even stronger. , they are not as weak as they imagined, and their bodies are stronger than before. What is going on!
According to the news they sent back, Nong Zhigao found an uncle somewhere, who was very powerful! One of their tasks this time is to meet his uncle for a while! If we can escort him back to South Vietnam, it will be a great achievement!
It is said that this uncle is very similar to the wanted criminal who first killed their South Vietnamese soldiers in Qiyuan Prefecture and provoked a war between the two countries!
This blood debt must be settled long ago!
Moreover, there was an important figure in the court who was also very curious about the man who killed the South Vietnamese soldiers. He even specifically told the emperor that he wanted to take this man back and see him alive and his body after death!
This man looks gentle and fair, and has countless strategies in his mind. Although many people do not know his details, there is no denying his achievements.
He came to South Vietnam two years ago, and it was at that time that he brought many advanced Central Plains technologies to South Vietnam, which made South Vietnam's strength grow by leaps and bounds. The emperor listened to his words the most, and he was the one who strongly advocated this mission!
The battle with the Song Dynasty gave South Vietnam countless benefits. The gold and silver brought back to the Dragon City Treasury was as high as a mountain!
General Li Changjie led his troops to fight on the edge of the Song Dynasty for many years, and the spoils he got were not as good as what he got from conquering Yongzhou City this time!
In the court, military achievements speak for themselves. If their mission this time can use their words to make Nong Zhigao bow his head and surrender, then they will also have done a great job!
Finally arrived at the cave!
The fire in the cave was dim, and the people were crowded at the entrance, and everyone had weapons in their hands.
Their weapons are newly purchased swords from Shunfeng Escort Agency. They are brand new and sharp, making people tremble with fear!
The hearts of the South Vietnamese envoys sank, and everyone's expressions changed when they saw such a scene!
'Bring me in! '
A loud sound came from the cave. The knife was placed on the neck of the envoy, and a thick iron chain was put on the forearm!
Some people died, but not completely...
