Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"what do you mean……"

"You have an enmity with the Lord of the Four Kingdoms, but no matter how big the enmity is, it is only a dispute among us Tang people. Now it is a dispute between those natives and Tang people. Can't they put aside their past and save us once? Take a step back and say, Even if they hoped for your death, what are the 800 people you brought here?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Everyone is from Tang, so they should help each other? You are too childish. Others may not think so, maybe in their eyes, a native is much closer than a father."

"But……"

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it. I won't argue with you either. After three days, when we can't hold on anymore, you can see if there are any reinforcements. Don't you understand everything?"

……

……

In the past three days, the natives continued to increase their troops. Zhang Liang stood on the watchtower and looked into the distance. He roughly estimated that the number of people surrounding their camp had exceeded [-].

dong dong dong~

The drums sounded like thunder, and the overwhelming natives rushed forward again.Zhang Liang looked miserable, and said, "Son, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand this wave of attacks. You can cut off my head now, so that my father will suffer less grievances when he is about to die."

"Father!" Zhang Shen wept like rain, and tremblingly drew out his waist knife.

Boom boom~

At this moment, suddenly, three voices sounded like muffled thunder. Looking into the distance, thick smoke billowed up, covering the sky and the sun.

Zhang Shenwei was overjoyed and said loudly: "Gunpowder! It's gunpowder! Father, we don't have to die! Reinforcements... are here!"

Chapter 7

Zhang Liang's old eyes are dim, and he can't see clearly even in the distance.

He said: "If there is a reinforcement, it should be the soldiers and horses of Wu'an State. Anyway, I think that when I was in charge of bad people for my father, I gave Wu'an County Duke a lot of care. If these state lords have Whoever can get rid of the past with me should be this person."

"No... my lord father, it should not be Wu Anguo's soldiers." Zhang Shenwei looked far away, and said, "It's too far away, and the child can't see clearly, but there should be a yang character on the big flag."

"Yang? Either Gao Yang or Wu Yang..."

Zhang Liang pondered: "Wuyang Kingdom is absolutely impossible. Not only will Li Yifu save me, but it will also be despised by the world. Then it should be Gaoyang Kingdom. I didn't expect Li Wushu, a woman, to have such a heart. It's really embarrassing for my father."

"But...that flag clearly says Wuyang Kingdom!"

"How is that possible?" Zhang Liang wiped his eyes, looked into the distance angrily, and finally sighed: "Son, you are so young, how come your eyes are not as good as mine? The biggest banner says Isn't it Qi?"

"Qi? No way, no matter how bad your son's eyes are, he won't be able to tell the difference between Qi and Wuyang Kingdom."

Zhang Shenwei set up the awning with his hands, looked into the distance, and suddenly laughed, and said: "I understand, what we two are looking at is not the same flag. In fact, it is not just soldiers from one country. There are Qi, There is Wu'an State, there is Gaoyang State, there is Wuyang State..."

"So... all the four feudal kingdoms have come?" Zhang Liang burst into tears again, and said, "How can the old man make the four feudal kingdoms do their best to save them? Really... oh, I really thought that The heart of a villain measures the belly of a gentleman."

Zhang Shenwei said: "I'm afraid it's not just the four vassal states, but my son also saw a few flags of the Tang Dynasty. There is a big Liu character written on it, but I don't know which general's soldiers and horses it is."

"The Allied Forces of the Five Nations! This is the Allied Forces of the Five Nations!" Zhang Liang said happily: "This battle must be won! Shen Wei, you should quickly organize your troops and get out of the camp. Join forces with the reinforcements and defeat the [-] native army! "

"Order!"

In a sense, the natives in Nanyang today are simply not of the same era as the coalition forces.If the Tang army was the top military force of the feudal army, then the natives were still between the primitive society and the slave society.

This kind of backwardness is all-round backwardness.

Their wooden spears and stone spears could not pierce the armor of the coalition army, and the simple bark armor on them could not withstand the blow of the coalition army's weapons.As for organizational ability and tactical command ability, the two sides are even more different.

Let's put it this way, even if it is just a comparison of personal physical strength, the coalition forces have the upper hand in the battle.

As long as the natives do not have an absolute superior force, a big defeat is almost certain.Under the joint efforts of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, the natives soon collapsed.After counting the incident, [-] people were beheaded, and more than [-] people were captured. The results of the battle were brilliant.

The only regret is that not many were captured other than the prisoners.It's not surprising when you think about it, the climate in Nanyang is so hot that people can't freeze to death without clothes.There are abundant products, and you can fill your stomach with just looking for something.

Don't worry about food and clothing, with the virtues of those natives, what valuable things can they create that the people of Tang will appreciate?

Anyway, it's always a big win.That night, the leader of the Xun Kingdom advocated a large banquet to entertain the Allied Forces of the Five Nations who came to rescue.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Zhang Liang raised his glass of wine, came to Li You's case, and said: "King Qi is a thousand years old, and you have been far away for ten years. Your demeanor is far better than the past. If Emperor Taizong can see that you are today, I don't know how much he will feel in his heart." joy."

Li You smiled wryly and said, "Are you praising me? Or are you mocking me? Thinking back to more than ten years ago, Xiao Wang acted absurdly, not to mention being sorry to the emperor, but even being disrespectful to you. After such a After years of hard work in the South China Sea, I realized how wrong I was."

"Hey! Don't mention the past, you can still explain it by being young and ignorant. This old man's beard is gray, and he has done so many wrong things. Now that I think about it, I am really ashamed. By the way..."

Zhang Liang suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "I don't understand something, and I need to ask King Qi for advice."

"Mr. Xun Guo has something to say, please speak."

"Your Highness, it's not that this old man looks down on you. Even though we haven't said a few words since we met again, this old man has seen countless people, and I can see that you are now called an outstanding person. But before... ..."

Li You smiled slightly and said, "What do you mean, I was just a waste snack before?"

Zhang Liang said embarrassingly: "Uh...you can't say it's trash, but generally speaking, it's that...the ability is relatively average."

Li Youdao: "My family knows about my own family affairs. Even if you say that I was a waste at that time, there is nothing wrong with it. I think my king was really useless back then."

Zhang Liang continued: "That's where the problem comes in. No matter how bad the old man is, he is much better than you were at the beginning, isn't he? I just arrived in the fief, and hundreds of thousands of natives came to attack. If it weren't for the help of everyone, I am afraid that you will be defeated now." You are about to die. How did you survive more than ten years ago?"

Xue Wanche interjected: "You ask this, I think it was not so difficult for us to establish a country at the beginning. At most, a few thousand natives attacked, and it didn't take much effort to kill them."

Zhang Liang's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "That's because it's not a good position in Xiafeng Kingdom? Are you in conflict with the natives?"

Li You explained: "That's not true. Speaking of which, it has something to do with the rest of us. You must know that although the Nanyang Islands do not have a real country, they are not completely unoccupied. There were only minor conflicts with the local natives."

"But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to land and mineral disputes, and the differences in people's sentiments between the two sides, the scale of the conflict became larger and larger. However, we have built a strong city long ago. Therefore, no matter how many natives come, It’s also useless to us.”

"However, their vigilance against us Tang people is getting higher and higher. Now that you have established your Xun Kingdom and built your camp hastily. Of course, the natives will kill you in the bud."

Zhang Liangliang nodded, and said: "I see. But the natives can mobilize an army of [-]. This strength is really not to be underestimated. I am afraid that our future life will not be so easy..."

Xue Wanche said: "Actually, it's exactly the opposite of what you imagined. From now on, our life will get better and better."

"How do you say this?"

"How much strength do you think the natives have? This time, in order to besiege the Xun Kingdom, the nearby natives mobilized in full force. After this failure, they will not recover their vitality in decades."

He paused, and continued: "And we have so many more captives, and after degrading them into slaves, our power has greatly increased. If one goes up and down, the other goes up, isn't our life getting better and better?"

Li You added: "Speaking of it, I still have to thank Lord Xun. Our Tang people have a strong army and are not afraid of a decisive battle with the natives. Before, they took turns to harass us because of their large number of people, which made us feel embarrassed. Now with you as bait, Only in one fell swoop wiped out an army of [-] natives, it can be said to be done once and for all.”

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, don't say that. How can you, the one who saved people, thank me, the one who was saved? Doesn't the old man even understand this? In this case, the old man should be the most Thank you for…”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Li Yifu, and he said: "It's the Marquis of Wuyang. Anyway, the old man has a relationship with King Qi, Princess Gaoyang and Duke Wu'an. There are many grievances and grievances, you come to save me." I can also make sense of it. Only he..."
